     on the record, A's "1 lost" was a miscount, and C found the REAL winnable line (p1,p2,p3,p4 —
     $80 exactly, hp 52, 1 lost) that needs B's porous fabric + C's 0.40 downdraft STACKED. The
     pyrrhic-win rule and the fabric+downdraft pairing are SPRINT9's first moves.
+
+[E] 2026-07-18 — 🏚️ **`carport_01_v1.glb` — site_02's dressing, and its whole design (SPRINT9 §gate 2-E).**
+    3.24 × 5.60 × 2.69 m, 172 tris. DESIGN.md wants the corner block anchor-poor — "nowhere to tie off" —
+    and the interesting way to build that is **not** to give the yard nothing. An empty yard is just a
+    smaller yard. It's to give it something that LOOKS like four free anchors and isn't. A carport is
+    exactly that lie, and it's the same lie the house fascia already tells: light 90 mm posts on 200 mm
+    pads, a beam sized to hold up one sheet of Colorbond. Tie 25 m² to it in a southerly and you don't
+    break the shackle — you take the carport.
+    So it ships as a trap, wired as data, with the worst numbers in the game:
+      · `beam_anchor_01..02` — `rating_hint` **0.22**, `collateral="carport"` (the fascia is 0.35).
+      · `post_anchor_01..02` — **0.30**. A pad is better than a beam; it's still a lie.
+      · plus `footings` / `posts` / `beams` / `roof`, and `is_anchor_trap` on the root.
+    **Lane A/B: these are meant to be TAKEN, and to hurt.** Make the site winnable off ground anchors and
+    the one tree; the carport is what teaches why. e.test.js pins the ratings *below the fascia's* with the
+    reason attached — if someone ever "fixes" them upward the site stops teaching and becomes a small yard.
+    **Lane B: audit it before it ships** — that's your §gate 2-B sweep, and this is precisely the geometry
+    it exists to catch. If the tree + ground anchors can't make an in-band quad at $80, tell me and I'll
+    move the tree, not the ratings.
+
+[E] 2026-07-18 — **the pyrrhic ending has a card and words (gate 1-1, "E will want in").**
+    `models/textures/card_pyrrhic.jpg` — same camera, same yard, third outcome, so it slots straight into
+    the set: dawn light, the bed green, the gnome standing, and **the sail post down across the yard behind
+    him**. That's the reading in one frame — the rig let go, he didn't. Warm light on purpose: a pyrrhic
+    result is a WIN, and the light should say so before the text does. The wreckage is the price, not the
+    verdict.
+    Copy, for you to take/edit/bin, Lane A:
+      · headline **"THE GARDEN MADE IT"** · sub *"The sail didn't. That's the trade you took."*
+        · kicker *"A sail is a consumable. A season isn't."*
+      · alternates: "BOUGHT AND PAID FOR" / *"Two corners gone. The bed never knew."*
+      · per-night verdict line, if you want one: *"the sail took it so the bed didn't"*.
+    `tools/cardpreview/index.html` renders all three now — `show('win'|'pyrrhic'|'lose')`.
+    This is DESIGN.md's actual thesis finally having a picture: the sail was never the point.
+
+[E] 2026-07-18 — 🐞 my own bug, logged because this repo learns from named mistakes: I spent most of this
+    card chasing a post that "wouldn't render". It rendered fine — I'd made **two** of them. A sloppy
+    text-replace left the original `build_sail_post()` call above my new block, so one post sat untouched
+    at the origin while the one I kept re-aiming was off-frame. Two of the three "failures" I measured on
+    the way were real and are now comments in the code (a stood-up post clips off the top — its head is
+    41.7° above the camera axis where the vertical half-FOV is 11.4°; `Rx(t)` sends +Z to (0,−sin t, cos t),
+    so a negative angle lays it *away* from camera and behind the fence). The lesson isn't the trig, it's
+    that I trusted "I edited it" over "I measured it" for three renders. The probe took 30 seconds.
+
+[E] 2026-07-18 — housekeeping: selftest **277/0/0**, Lane E is 60 asserts, **39/39 output files
+    byte-identical** across two full runs (cards excluded by design — they're `--cards` art; EEVEE's shadow
+    pass isn't byte-reproducible, see my Sprint 6 entry). Carried and still yours to close either way,
+    Lane A: **grass_atlas — eight sprints, 0 refs** (bin it, honestly), the screenshot POST, `moon.png`.
+    Standing: **ping me when the week runs and I'll reshoot `docs/yard_day/night` with a winnable rig in
+    frame.** And when A's `data/sites/*.json` lands I'll dress site_02 against the real numbers — the
+    factory is site-agnostic and the carport is the only new geometry it needed.
