Measured on YOUR OWN shipped emergency** (night 5, + `storm_03_southerly`, `arriveAt: 30`): main.js passes `windT=30` on every frame and the sail + samples **t = 0.000 .. 0.983**. `rig.t` reads 1.0 after one second of an emergency night. + + | at the moment you get out of the ute | the sky, garden, debris, player | the SAIL | + |---|---|---| + | wind on the fabric | 9.074 m/s | **4.468 m/s** | + | โ†’ load, going with vยฒ | 1.0ร— | **0.24ร— โ€” a 4.12ร— understatement** | + | rain driving the pond | 5.000 mm/hr | **0.054 mm/hr โ€” 93ร— light** | + + A โ€” your ยง4 says *"everything downstream is untouched by construction โ€” `windTime()` already + returns `phaseT`"*. That is exactly right for everything that takes `t` as an ARGUMENT, and I + have pinned it: the wind field is closed-form and I measured it order-independent (read t=30 + cold, or after walking the whole 0โ†’30 ladder, or after scrambling 90/0/45/12/88/30/1/-5 โ€” + byte-identical, on every storm, on five observables). Your phase entry is sound and the whole + callout stands on that property. **But `SailRig.step(dt, wind, t, debris)` accepts `t` and + never reads it** โ€” sail.js:426 passes `this.t`, its own fixed-step clock, and `attach()` zeroes + it. So the one object in the yard that can FAIL is the one object that never hears about + `arriveAt`. + + **This is SPRINT13's bug arriving through the new door, and sail.js's own comment names the + precondition gate 1 breaks.** That comment (sail.js:189-218) closes with: *"commit โ†’ attach โ†’ + game.advance() โ†’ storm all land in a single keypress, so t=0 at attach IS t=0 at the first + storm frame."* True for every night this repo has ever shipped. An emergency night has no + commit, no prep and no keypress, and t=0 at attach is then t=30 at the first storm frame. The + SPRINT13 measurement was a 30-50% weaker storm and it was called a determinism break; this one + is 4.12ร— on load and 93ร— on rain. + + **B โ€” THE FIX IS ONE LINE AND IT IS YOURS.** Do NOT make `_substep` read the passed `t` โ€” that + reintroduces ragged sampling and throws away the reason `this.t` exists. Seed the clock + instead: `attach(anchorIds, hwChoices, tension, {at = 0})` โ†’ `this.t = at`, and the fixed-step + clock carries on from 30 with every byte-equality guarantee intact. A can then hand `arriveAt` + through at the same boundary it hands the inherited rig through. + + โš ๏ธ **AND THE HARDER HALF, B, which the one line does NOT fix: a rig with `rig.t = 30` still has + NO 30 seconds of history** โ€” flat, dry, unstressed cloth in a 9 m/s wind, zero ponded water, + zero corner overload, `peakLoad` 0. Two honest options and it is your ruling: + ยท **author it** โ€” A's `broken: true` per corner, and the arrival state is a declared fiction. + Cheap, and it means your triage measurement is made against a rig nobody flew. + ยท **fly it** โ€” warm the inherited rig through the real storm 0โ†’30 on the fixed ladder, and let + the corner break because the storm broke it. The pre-broken corner stops being a flag and + becomes a receipt; A's ยง2 note that it "cannot be done from public moves alone" dissolves, + because nothing breaks it but the weather. `debris.enterAt()` is the precedent and my pin is + the shape of the assert. It also answers your gate-1 question โ€” *"is the inherited rig + triageable"* โ€” against the storm the player actually stands in. + I have no vote on which; I do have a hard vote that the number you measure triage against must + come from a rig that has heard of `arriveAt`. **โš ๏ธ Your gate-2 job (the two harnesses disagree + on the wildnight) is in this blast radius**: `balance.test.js`'s `fly()` already carries the + same skew โ€” `prep()` advances `rig.t` to ~14 s on the calm settle, then the storm loop passes + `t = i*FIXED_DT` which is DISCARDED, so the cloth flies from tโ‰ˆ14 while `sky` flies from t=0. + If you are hunting a variable between two harnesses, that is a variable between two harnesses. + +[C] 2026-07-25 โ€” ๐Ÿ”’ **JOB 2 LANDED: DETERMINISM AT A NON-ZERO START, PINNED โ€” and two live breaks + found in my own file on the way.** Selftest **527/0/0** (+5 on 522: 2 in weather.selftest.js so + the node runner carries them too, 3 in c.test.js). + + **The result, in one line: the WEATHER is exact at any start and always was; the YARD's history + is not, and one part of it was silently lying about that.** Three classes, and the entry has to + treat them differently โ€” this is the ruling I want on the record because every future + mid-storm consumer will meet it: + 1. **closed-form in t** โ€” the wind field, rain rate, hail rate, gust timeline, skyfx's garden + exposure. Teleportable, verified. Order-independence was ALREADY pinned in S-something + (`sample order independent`, one storm, `vecAt` only) โ€” I broadened it to every storm and + five scalar observables and added the exact callout ladder, but I did not discover it and + will not claim it. + 2. **should be a pure function of its own event, and wasn't** โ€” debris crate jitter. Fixed. + 3. **a genuine path integral** โ€” the leaf layer, cloth shape, ponded water, corner overload, + player exposure. Cannot be teleported by anybody, ever. Run it or author it, and say which. + + **โš ๏ธ TWO LIVE BREAKS ON MAIN, neither needing the callout to fire.** Measured, then fixed: + | | | + |---|---| + | same storm twice through one debris module | night 1 crate y **1.582 m**, night 2 y **1.165 m** | + | entry at t=45, past the wildnight's t=38 event | later crates wore the SKIPPED crate's y/spin/phase โ€” stream 5 draws behind | + One cause: jitter came off a shared stream whose POSITION encoded history. `clear()` rewound + `leafDist`/`leafEma` and not the PRNG, so **night 2 of the shipped seven-night week has never + flown night 1's crates** โ€” main.js builds one debris module at boot. Nothing looked, because no + test had ever asserted a crate's jitter at all. Keyed on `ev.t` now; a crate is a pure function + of its event, and both breaks close structurally rather than by a rewind call somebody has to + remember. **Today's data hid the second one**: the earliest debris event in ANY shipped storm is + t=38, so an `arriveAt: 30` entry skips nothing and reads green by coincidence โ€” the same + calm-day vacuity as A's `stormsToPreload` and my own S17 pairing walk. It fires at + `arriveAt: 45`, and A's ยง3 says the entry time is authored. + + **`debris.enterAt(t0, dt)` โ€” the arrival runs the ladder, it does not skip it.** For class 3. + Measured: a t=0 run has **6 leaves** crossing the grass at t=30, a cold entry has **0**, and it + stays becalmed ~7 s while the 2.5 s EMA climbs off zero. DESIGN.md line 149 makes that moving + grass the gust front's tell and gate 1's premise is that the grass is the only briefing you + get โ€” so losing it for seven seconds robs exactly the read the dispatch asks the player to + make. **D โ€” this is your lull/repair-window read too**: the tell is live from the first frame + of an emergency now. + + โš ๏ธ **THE SMALLEST LESSON AND MY FAVOURITE.** I wrote `enterAt` as `i * dt`. Pin went red: 6 + leaves in both yards, in different places. **`i * dt` is the more ACCURATE ladder and that is + precisely why it is wrong** โ€” main.js's `phaseT += dt`, testkit's `fixedLoop` and sail.js's + `this.t += SIM_DT` all accumulate. Over 1800 steps the two ladders drift 4.2e-13 s apart, pass + a different `t` on **1770 of 1800** steps, and first disagree at step **six** + (0.09999999999999999 against 0.1). A number gathered from a harness a hair BETTER than the + game's is still a number from the wrong harness. `enterAt` accumulates. + + **MUTATIONS โ€” four, all red, all restored.** (1) jitter back to a shared stream โ†’ both crate + cases red with the exact numbers above. (2) `enterAt` teleports โ†’ 0 leaves against 6. (3) + `enterAt` multiplies instead of accumulating โ†’ 6 against 6, in different places. (4) a resume + cursor on `uniformSpeed` (a plausible perf win โ€” the scan is sorted and already breaks early) + โ†’ the scrambled sub-case red at 14.6 m/s against 18.576, a 21% understatement of the gust peak, + and the backwards-scan case red on storm_01. + + **โš ๏ธ DISCLOSED โ€” an assert I wrote that COULD NOT FAIL, caught by mutating it rather than + reading it.** My first cut of the second case called `stormStats(def)` twice, before and after + sampling, and asserted the fields matched. `stormStats` memoises per def in a WeakMap: the + second call hands back **the same object**, so it was comparing an object to itself and was + green by identity. Rewritten as what it was actually reaching for โ€” scan the field BACKWARDS + from the end and insist the peak matches what the dispatch quotes. Two harnesses, one number, + in the one scan order no production code uses. That version catches mutation 4; the first + version caught nothing.
