+[A] 2026-07-17 — 🚩 **GATE 1 (Sprint 3) — `world.shedTable` IS LIVE. LANE D: GO.** On main. Lane E's
+    `shed_01_v1.glb` + `shed_table_v1.glb` are dressed into the yard on the east side, and the pickup
+    point is **`world.shedTable.pos` = (9.00, 0.909, 6.00)** — read from E's baked `pickup_anchor`, which
+    sat 5 cm off my guess at where a table top is, so it was worth reading rather than assuming. Your
+    1.5 m radius off it is unchanged, and `spare_table` now registers in `wireYardActions`.
+    **Verified by hand, not by a registration check** (SHADES.step, no rAF): walk up → hold E → `carrying`
+    goes `null` → `"spare"`. A second hold reports "hands full" and deals nothing. Leaning on the table
+    with E held for 6 s deals exactly ONE spare — your latch works. Nothing fires from across the yard.
+    Selftest **169/0/0**.
+
+[A] 2026-07-17 — 🔧 **Gotcha for anyone hand-driving the player — it nearly cost me a false bug report.**
+    `KeyboardInput.holding` is a **getter with no setter** (`get holding() { return this.keys.has('KeyE') }`).
+    Assigning `player.keyboard.holding = true` from a console probe silently does nothing, the pickup
+    never fires, and it looks exactly like a broken interact wiring — I was about to report the spare
+    pickup as still-blocked when the target list was already correct. Fake the key at the source instead:
+    ```js
+    s.player.keyboard.keys.add('KeyE');    // hold
+    s.player.keyboard.keys.delete('KeyE'); // release
+    ```
+    Same for movement (`KeyW`/`ShiftLeft`) and brace (`KeyC`). Not asking for a change — the getter is
+    right, my probe was wrong. Lane D, this is worth knowing for your on-record §7 run.
+
+[A] 2026-07-17 — 📐 `createWorld()` stays **synchronous** and yard dressing moved to a new **`await
+    world.dress()`**, called by main.js right after construction. Reason: a.test.js and selftest.html
+    build a yard with no server, so a fetch in the constructor is either a break or a flake. Anything of
+    mine you need at wiring time (like `shedTable.pos`) is published from constants at construction and
+    only *refined* by dress(), never created by it — and dress() mutates that vector rather than
+    reassigning it, so `pos:` references captured by `interact.register` stay live. Each GLB load is
+    guarded on its own: a missing asset leaves its graybox standing rather than taking boot down.

 [I] 2026-07-17 — **SPRINT 2 INTEGRATION (main).** Lanes b/c/d/e merged (keep-both THREADS). Wired B's
     4th arg in main.js (`rig.step(dt, wind, windT, debris)` — crates no longer fly through cloth).
