The fascia anchors have said collateral:"gutter" since Sprint 6 and nobody
priced one — collateralFor('gutter') returns null, backyard_01's house is a
free failure. Proposal rides in the asset like the carport's did: 90, between
the gnome (25) and the carport (180), with the band reasoning next to the
constant. A rules the number.
house_yardside_wrecked_v1: same origin/footprint/facade (shared _house_facade
helper — intact house BIN chunk byte-identical to the committed GLB, only the
three new price extras differ), fascia torn through the anchored span, left
run hanging by its last bracket, right run kinked ON the grass, downpipe out
of plumb, offcuts flat on the lawn. No fascia_anchor_* empties survive — you
cannot re-tie to a ripped eave.
collateral_key is new and explicit: unlike the carport, the structure and the
thing you take have different names, so the key names which collateral string
the value prices.
All 33 GLBs byte-identical across two full factory runs; the house pair also
byte-identical between --only and full runs.

C AND D BOTH LANDED WHILE I WAS IN GATE 2, AND BOTH CORRECT ME.
VENTURI — reverted to axis 2.1 / gain 1.5. C reached the same physics I did,
independently (|dot| means an axis is a line, mod PI), and then went one step
further and caught my reasoning: -1.08 was never a proposed AXIS. It's
dirAt(40), the southerly's HEADING once the change settles. 2.1 is the GAP'S
ORIENTATION — site geometry, which doesn't move when the wind does. They're
different quantities that sit a hair over PI apart only because the gap was
BUILT along the southerly.
So "measured beats authored" was the wrong rule for this question: I'd have
swapped a geometry fact for a weather fact because they nearly coincide, and
the site's axis would silently mean the wrong thing the day someone authors a
storm from another quarter. "A number gathered from the wrong harness" caught
both of us on the same question from opposite sides in one sprint.
Gain reverted too, and that one I simply jumped: it's a balance lever, B's audit
calls it, and C's standing offer is to drop to 1.35 only if no $80 line survives.
B hasn't run. D then measured the site winnable off honest anchors at 98% — so
the funnel isn't killing the line and the gain stays.
D's LANDMINES, both mine, both in gate 2's path:
· CALM_STORM loaded only because night one HAPPENED to be storm_01_gentle.
Gate 2 rewrote every night entry. Drop gentle and windTime() throws every
non-storm frame on "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'duration')"
— naming neither storms, nor calm, nor the week. Now explicit in the preload,
and the assert calls stormsToPreload() with a gentle-free ladder, because
asserting it against the shipped NIGHTS passes either way. That's how it hid.
· boot({site}) was a documented lie that failed INVERSELY — markers on the
requested yard, world on the week's. Honoured through the week now (seek to
that site's night), because a site without its night is half a game: no
client, no brief, no storm, no bank. Plus opts.bank, so D can boot the corner
block at the $237 they measured instead of night one's $80 and OFF THE JOB.
RATINGHINT — D is right that nothing reads it, and the naive fix is worse than
the bug: honest posts are built from site JSON, never touch adoptAnchor, so
their ratingHint was undefined — and `load > hw.rating * undefined` is
`load > NaN`, always false. The strongest anchors would have become UNBREAKABLE
while the carport became the only thing that can fail: the trap would look like
it works, for the wrong reason, and read as a successful playtest. Every anchor
carries a real number now (DEFAULT_RATING_HINT), pinned, so the wire is safe
before it's made. The wire itself is sail.js — B's — and the ruling is in THREADS.
selftest 306/0/0 (was 304).
site_audit's headless false-negative is fixed by the browser front-end
(A's loadSite/createWorld landed in main — that was all it waited on), and
fixing it surfaced a worse bug underneath: the sweep built its wind from the
STORM def alone and never called setVenturi, which main.js:424 does at every
site load. The venturi is SITE data, so every site_02 audit ever run — including
the numbers quoted at C in SPRINT10 — was of a corner block with no gap. The
SPRINT6 p1=7.4kN failure inverted: there the tool called a good site unriggable,
here it called a mean site cheap.
- sweep.js: setVenturi on both winds (the gap doesn't switch off for the settle);
both front-ends pass the site's funnel and print it, so a funnelled run is
legible as one.
- sweep.selftest.js (new, wired into b.test.js): the auditor gets an auditor.
Funnel must strictly raise every corner; a funnel-less site must be
byte-identical. Verified it fails when the setVenturi calls are deleted.
- rigging.js: setWorld(world) + session.setBudget(n)/setAnchors() — A's two asks.
Markers are rebuilt (the anchor set changes across sites) and disposed; stale
picks die with the old yard. Deletes A's "one private touch" into this module.
- dev_rigging.html: dead since SPRINT10 (called createWorld without a site, which
now throws) and nothing noticed, because a dev page has no selftest to go red.
Fixed, dressed, and given the site switch it should have had (N = next yard).
Verdict for C/A, in THREADS: site_02 PASSES with the funnel on — 64 of 66 lines
affordable, cheapest $20. The funnel kills nothing, so the gain does NOT need
dropping and E's tree stays put. It's a reach problem, not a gain problem: the
throat's radius is 5 m and the bed centre is 6.08 m away, so the gap screams over
the carport at +50% and reaches the garden at +0.0%.
selftest 300/0/0 (296 + 4 new).
The letterhead is the point: one business, two documents, same masthead, so
the job sheet and the invoice read as a pair of papers off the same outfit's
printer rather than two game screens. DESIGN.md has opened with "you run a
small landscaping outfit" since day one and it has never been on the glass.
tools/jobsheet/ — paste-ready for Lane A between CUT markers, purely additive
(.card/.row/.ledger untouched), rendered to four PNGs before handover, each
state addressable as ?v=. The ledger already WAS an invoice; it just never
said so. The line worth keeping is .void: a bonus that was on the job sheet
and didn't survive the night, struck through in the same column as the money
that did — a bonus you never watch fail is one you never learn to protect.
Two design calls left as A's with the reasoning beside them, same as the
carport's $180: the business name (proposal: HARD YARDS) and the ABN
(sequential digits on purpose — a plausible one could be a real business's).
bike_kid_01.glb — 1.15 x 0.33 x 0.74 m, 700 tris, lean baked in because a
bike doesn't stand up on its own. Two bugs caught by LOOKING at the render,
neither catchable by the existing suite: a comment claiming a step-through
above a diamond frame, and a fork with negative rake that drew head tube and
fork as one pole through the front wheel. Both passed the Blender verify —
a bounding box can't answer "is this the right shape".
The lean is an export-time axis fact (+Y in Blender is -Z in three.js), so
e.test.js now pins it in browser coords. Proved the assert fails: rebuilt at
lean=0 and Blender still said PASS while the selftest went red.
selftest 299/0/0. 32/32 GLBs byte-identical across three full factory runs.
DESIGN.md has opened with this since line 3 — "every callout is a different
site, a different client" — and the game had the site and not the client. The
forecast card is a job sheet now and the aftermath is an invoice.
THE WEEK, once it was asked to name a client, mostly wrote itself: four nights
are the same yard, so they're one client on retainer while they're away (the
Hendersons, in Cairns from Friday — SPRINT11's own line). Night 3 is a
different SITE, so it is necessarily a different CLIENT: a short-notice callout
to a corner block you've never rigged, on the night the change comes early.
That isn't flavour bolted on, it's what `site: site_02_corner_block` already
meant, finally said out loud.
BUDGET Y IS THE FEATURE, not the letterhead. DESIGN.md's brief is "client wants
X, budget Y, forecast Z" and this card had Z alone. The fee has existed since
Sprint 8 and the player has never seen it until the money was already spent —
you chose what to rig without knowing what the job was worth, which is a reveal,
not a decision. The sheet quotes base + garden + clean up front, and a test pins
that a perfect night pays exactly what the sheet advertised: a job sheet that
over-promises is the game lying on paper.
THE CLEAN BONUS is the new money, and it's the one number in week.js that isn't
measured. It gives the invoice three axes that mean three different things —
you turned up, their garden lived, you didn't wreck the place — and it's NOT
gated on winning, because a lost night where you broke nothing of theirs is a
different fact and deserves its own row. It also makes the carport bite twice:
180 + 20 = 200, inside E's own "over ~250 is a silent game over" ceiling.
Measured: it adds ~$100 to a competent week (385 -> 485), which makes
BROKE_BELOW's known runaway worse. I did NOT pay for it by quietly trimming
feeFor or gardenBonusMax — those carry measured evidence, and re-tuning someone
else's evidence to fund my own feature is the move this repo keeps catching. If
gate 3 says the bank runs away, this is the lever to cut first and it's data.
TWO BUGS, BOTH CAUGHT BY LOOKING AT THE CARD, neither by a test:
· "THE HENDERSONS" over "The Backyard — Your own place". The blurb and the
letterhead called each other liars on screen. The blurb gave way: "your own
backyard" is a leftover from when the game had one yard, and DESIGN.md never
wanted it. The line's job survives — night 1 is the tutorial because you know
this yard, now from having worked it for years rather than owning it.
· C's `lead` is a 0..1 haze dial (confidence = 1 − lead), not "nights out". I
read it as nights, passed 1, and the sheet advertised "forecast confidence
0%". Now 0.6, because C's own hail rule calls L > 0.55 too distant to promise
ice, and tomorrow is exactly that. C: the slot is mine, the number is yours.
Lane C's forecastLines(def, lead) finally has a caller above 0 — two sprints
after they built it. Lane E: .letterhead / .brief / .jobsheet / .tomorrow are
structure only and yours to style.
selftest 304/0/0 (was 300).
The corner block's seams, all of them A's to close.
ENUM (D's flag). Anchor.type was a closed JSDoc enum 'house'|'tree'|'post',
so site_02 typed its carport 'post' to fit — quietly enrolling it in the
sail-post family that C's venturi and B's audit both read. Widened to E's own
asset strings (carport, carport_post) and, more to the point, CHECKED: it was
documentation for ten sprints, and documentation cannot fail. validateSite now
rejects an unknown type by name. The ladder is untouched either way — D keyed
it on `work`, the mechanism, which is exactly why that was right.
CARPORT (E's proposal, adopted). $180, with E's reasoning intact: gnome 25, a
night's budget 80, so 180 is 2.25 nights — a good week turned broke and felt
for the rest of the run, without ending a strong one outright. Under ~120 it's
a shrug, over ~250 a silent game over that teaches nothing.
The number lives in site JSON, not the GLB: sites are data, and what a carport
COSTS is this site's economy, not a property of the mesh. E's baked value stays
as the fallback and the proposal.
And it BILLS now. E shipped the trap and said it plainly — the anchors said
collateral "carport" and nothing said what one cost, so nothing scored it. You
could lose the worst steel in the game and pay for a $15 shackle. One broken
corner is enough (the gnome needs two: it needs the sail to land on it; the
carport doesn't need the sail at all), priced per structure so two beams is one
carport gone, not $360. The wreck swaps on the same event — E built it to the
same origin for exactly this.
VENTURI (C's question). There was no disagreement to settle. weather.core
aligns on |dot(wind, axis)| because a gap funnels either way through it, so an
axis is a LINE: -1.08 + PI = 2.0616, and my shipped 2.1 was the same gap read
from the other end. Took C's number because C MEASURED it off storm_03b and I
eyeballed mine at authoring time; the 2.2 deg of my eyeballing was worth
0.44 m/s. gain left at C's 1.35 — that's a balance lever, theirs with B's audit.
Also wired validateSiteWind at site load, C's ask from Sprint 10.
selftest 300/0/0 (was 296).
forecastLines(def, lead) always took the param; what was missing was the
map from "this night is N nights away" to a lead. leadFor(nightsOut,
weekNights) is that map, linear onto forecastFor's documented 0..1 domain
so tonight is exact and the week's far end is lead 1. Tomorrow at a
five-night week reads 0.25 — 75% confidence, sustained band ~±8%.
hud.js is Lane A's; this only exports the argument.
The new assert pins the property that makes a band safe to print: it
RESOLVES. lo rises and hi falls monotonically onto the truth as the night
approaches, because the centre-wander is the same seeded draw at every
lead — so tomorrow's band always contains tonight's and the card never
jumps. Verified against a mutation that reseeds per lead (caught).
Its containment half is honestly decoration today and is labelled as
such in the test: 0.6-of-half-width wander means c±w never crosses v, so
deleting the clamps does not make it fail. Kept as a contract guard for a
future rewrite of band(), not counted as coverage of today's code.
Selftest 298/0/0.
SPRINT10 gate 1b. A night is now {storm, site}; the week hands over a yard per
night and night three is the corner block. Nights 1/2/4/5 are the backyard; the
plain-string night form still works and defaults to backyard_01.
site_02_corner_block.json: a smaller 24x16 yard with E's carport as the trap it
was built to be — beam anchors rating_hint 0.22, posts 0.30, both below the
house fascia's 0.35, collateral "carport". The site IS winnable off the honest
anchors (one tree east, four ground posts): I enumerated the honest quads at
authoring time and there are four in-band ones covering the bed, so the carport
is temptation not necessity. Full load audit is Lane B's tools/site_audit.
The carport's beams are keyed work:"bracket" — D's field, the MECHANISM not the
type. A bracket up a bare beam is the one anchor you can't fake from the ground,
so it needs the ladder; keyed on type it would fail open (a carport isn't a
house) and the ladder mechanic would silently vanish, which is exactly the audit
D ran. C's venturi list is in the JSON with two gap coordinates they asked for.
The world is rebuilt on a site change, not re-pointed: createPlayer captures the
world into its ground clamp, collider, ladder and broom (Lane D's modules, no
setters), so a clean rebuild is honest — and a site change only happens at a
forecast, never mid-storm. world.dispose() frees the old yard so nothing leaks.
The re-point of rig + session lives inside loadSiteInto, keyed on the rebuild
itself, after a caller-side version proved fragile.
Verified end to end through real phase transitions: play night 1, hit the
aftermath, and the forecast into night 3 rebuilds into the corner block —
carport present, 10 anchors (cb/cp/q/tr, not h/t/p), smaller bed, player rebuilt,
no scene leak. Then back to the backyard, 12 anchors restored. Selftest 289/0/0.

C asked in THREADS whether to land a one-liner making gardenHailExposure read
sail.porosity. Answer: it is already wired, in merged main — I did it in SPRINT9
(e576f5c): skyfx.step refreshes sailPorosity from world.sail.porosity, and
gardenHailExposure folds hailBlockFor(size, sailPorosity) into what it returns.
No one-liner needed.
But "already wired" was untested end-to-end. The only test of the hail leak,
weather.selftest's 'fabric choice is real', REIMPLEMENTS the formula inline with
hailBlockFor + hailAt — it proves the primitive and the arithmetic, not the
plumbing. A regression in the plumbing (the :738 refresh dropped, the
wind.def.hail.size lookup resolving wrong, hailBlockFor no longer folded in)
would leave that test green while the game quietly stopped leaking hail. That is
the measure-a-copy pattern this whole browser suite exists to avoid.
New assert 'porous cloth leaks pea hail into the garden, membrane blocks it'
drives the real sky.gardenHailExposure. The isolation is exact: ONE settled,
intact rig, sampled at ONE hail instant, porosity flipped 0.30<->0 between reads.
sky.step(0, t, {sail}) refreshes sailPorosity and rebuilds the shadow grid at the
same instant without advancing physics, so shadow geometry is identical across
the two reads and `block` is the only thing that moved. Measured:
pea (size 0.7): cloth 0.346 vs membrane 0.292 -> porous leaks +18%
ice (size 1.4): cloth 0.458 vs membrane 0.458 -> identical, the no-op
No storm flight, no second rig — deliberately. Two rigs whose corners diverge
share no shadow, and that difference is a cascade not a fabric: membrane cascades
on the ice night, so a naive two-flight version reads a FALSE ice-night
difference. The same-rig swap removes it.
And it can fail: if porosity stops reaching the exposure, both reads collapse to
the membrane value (measured: 0.2917 == 0.2917), cloth > membrane*1.05 is false,
red. The ice check is exact equality — if porous ever starts leaking big ice,
that goes red too.
Selftest 288 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped.

SPRINT10 gate 1a, carried since Sprint 8. Everything that was a module constant
— bed rect, house line, tree and post placements, shed, gnome, sun angle, fence
sides — is now data/sites/backyard_01.json, and world.js is a builder.
The extraction is byte-identical, and that's checkable rather than claimable:
E's branch-anchor tripwires pin five positions to 6 dp, a.test's quad-band
asserts pin the whole rigging geometry (>=3 quads in 18-45 m2, full coverage
still >45 m2), D's ladder field and B's balance lines all pass unchanged.
287/0/0.
It's byte-identical by construction, not by luck: the site-derived values keep
the builder's original local names, so ~500 lines of geometry that was already
correct is untouched and only its SOURCE changed.
Two things earned their place:
Anchors carry D's `work: "cloth" | "bracket"` — the MECHANISM, not the type. A
post is tensioned from a cleat at its base and a tree strop is thrown, but a
bracket bolted up a bare wall is the one you cannot fake. Keyed on mechanism
because `type` is a closed enum ('house'|'tree'|'post') that site_02's carport
doesn't fit, and needsLadder keyed on type FAILS OPEN there — the ladder
silently vanishes and you re-rig a 2.6 m bracket standing on the grass.
p4's swept position table moved INTO the JSON's `_why`, beside the coordinate it
justifies. That table is the only thing stopping someone nudging the post toward
the bed and collapsing DESIGN.md's central tension; it belongs with the number,
not in a file the number left.
validateSite() fails loud: sites are content, and a missing bed silently becomes
NaN coverage while a missing anchor list silently becomes an unriggable site.
createWorld now requires a site and says so.

The carport anchors have said collateral="carport" since Sprint 9, but the root
carried no collateral_value — so main.js, which reads world.gnome.collateralValue
for the gnome, had no number to reach for. A trap with no price is a warning
label. The root now carries it in the same shape and place, pinned above the
gnome's 25, with the proposed 180 and its reasoning as a named constant so Lane A
can argue with the number rather than the asset.
carport_01_wrecked is the payoff, on the intact one's origin for a mesh-for-mesh
swap: the pads stay (they were never the weak part), the frame racks over like a
parallelogram, the roof peels off downwind in one piece.
Two bugs found by measuring rather than reasoning, both now comments where the
numbers are: the beams were rotated when a beam spans the axis the frame racks
in, so it rides level — tilting it made the wreck taller than the carport; and
the roof sheets dipped below ground, which is what inflated the height. Asserts
now pin the wreck shorter than its twin and sitting on the grass.
291/0/0, Lane E 64 asserts, 40/40 output files byte-identical.

A builds world.js FROM DATA this sprint, and a site's `wind` block (venturi
funnels, later per-site shelter overrides) is hand-authored data like a storm —
so it validates like one. setVenturi already clamps defensively, but a clamp
hides a typo where the repo's ethos is to name it: a gain < 1 (someone reaching
for a shelter), a funnel with no throat coordinates, an axis typed "south". A
calls this at site load next to validateStorm. A site with no wind block, an
empty block, or an empty venturi list all validate — the funnel is opt-in.

SPRINT10 gate 1. Adopts SPRINT10's spelling — `work: 'bracket' | 'cloth'` — as
canonical over the boolean I proposed in Sprint 9: naming the mechanism
positively beats a negation, and it's the field A is emitting. Sprint 9's
`worksAtBracket` is still honoured so nothing that already sets it breaks, and
`type === 'house'` remains the fallback, so site_01 is a no-op (verified live:
no anchor there carries either field, and fascia/post/tree verdicts are
unchanged).
Keyed to E's SHIPPED carport_01_v1.glb rather than my invented numbers, and it
confirms the audit exactly — it also carries BOTH mechanisms on one structure,
so a per-structure rule would still have been wrong:
beam_anchor_01/02 y=2.36 anchor_type "carport" rating_hint 0.22
post_anchor_01/02 y=1.75 anchor_type "carport_post" rating_hint 0.30
The beam sits over a 1.72 m person's 2.20 m reach and needs the ladder; the post
doesn't. Neither is typed 'house', so un-declared they BOTH fall back to "ground
work" and canReach waves a 2.36 m bracket through from the grass — the mechanic
deleting itself with no error. That regression is now pinned by a test.
E: the beam is the double trap — your worst rating in the game AND the one that
costs a ladder trip. That reads as a rule, not a bug, which is what §Lane D asks
for. A: the mapping you want is beam→bracket, post→cloth.

SPRINT9 task for B+D. The demoted guard compared the worst corner's mean LOAD
across two windows and called the difference a "trend". The integrator's
diagnosis was that its clock was wrong — held at t=0, storm_02's compressed
rain ponds the cloth during the guard's own windows. That mechanism is real,
but it is not the bug, and neither of the two suggested fixes works. Measured
on the dressed yard, 0 s settle vs 12 s:
probe under CALM, held in prep 13% vs 17%
probe under STORM, held clock 24% vs 104%
probe under STORM, advancing clock 24% vs 104%
probe under STORM, RAINLESS 17% vs 96%
Every variant is either flat — calm cannot excite the cloth, so the guard is
vacuous and passes forever — or INVERTED, firing hardest on the properly
settled rig. Rain is not the culprit: the rainless probe ponds 1 kg and still
inverts. Advancing the clock isn't a fix either, because RAIN_TIME_COMPRESSION
is 40× and 4 s of storm is 160 s of rain regardless.
What a load-trend measures is the rig LOADING UP when the wind changes, and a
taut settled cloth ramps harder than a limp unsettled one (0.63 -> 1.23 kN vs
0.44 -> 0.52). The observable was pointed at the storm's arrival, not at the
cloth. No threshold, clock or rain switch fixes that.
"Settled" is a statement about the cloth, so ask the cloth. sail.js gains
nodeSpeed(): RMS node speed out of verlet. Sampled over 2 s of the same calm
prep the rig already stands in — no wind change to ramp against, no compressed
rain, and nothing left in the rig but two more seconds of prep a player does
anyway. Measured:
settle 0 s 4 s 12 s 30 s
speed 0.19 0.014 0.017 0.007 m/s (pyrrhic quad: 0.23 -> 0.028)
An order of magnitude, in the direction the word means. Absolute check at
0.08 m/s, not a trend: the cloth breathes at 0.02 and the transient sits at
0.19, so there is real room for a line.
Promoted back from warn to a hard failure — and it earns that by being able to
fail. `the settled-at-entry guard can fail` flies the same line with NO settle
and asserts the guard refuses it. A guard nobody has seen fail is
indistinguishable from one that cannot, which is exactly how this one survived
two sprints being both vacuous and inverted. The control is flown up front in
run(), because Suite.test() does not await.
The old guard also left 43 kg of water and 4 s of storm load in the rig before
the storm started; the suite was flying a wet rig into a dry entry. It didn't
move the peaks (the storm's own peak dwarfs it) but it was never true.
D: this is yours to veto. Selftest 277 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped.

site_audit answers "is this site winnable?" before it ships — the check that
was missing when SPRINT6 shipped a yard whose bed-covering quad pulled 7.4 kN
against a shop that holds 6.5. It enumerates in-band quads, flies the real
storm headless, maps each corner to the cheapest tier that holds it, and
verdicts against the $80 budget. On backyard_01 it independently reproduces
THE LINE: p1,p2,p3,p4 at $65 + $15 spare, matching balance.test to within 2%.
It also caught three of my own bugs, which is the point of building it:
· it settled on STORM wind frozen at t=0 — the exact anti-pattern
balance.test documents at 1.94 kN vs 0.40 kN. Now settles on the calm
day on a running clock, the way main.js does.
· peakLoad is peak-since-ATTACH, so the settle transient was being
reported as a storm peak. sail.js gains resetPeaks().
· its p4 was typed from world.js's postSpecs, missing that posts are RAKED
8° away from centre — 0.56 m off. The audit now re-derives all four posts
from live world.js on every run and hard-fails on drift.
That last check is deliberately narrow. Node CANNOT dress: dress() needs
GLTFLoader (bare 'three') and fetch()es .glb over file://. createWorld() still
SUCCEEDS in node — it just returns the GRAYBOX yard, house at x=±5, no branch
anchors. So a headless tool that "reads world.js for the real yard" gets the
fictional x=±5 house that cost two sprints. Reading live code is not reading
truth. Verified in-browser: the dump matches the dressed yard on all 12
anchors. Posts are the only thing dress() never touches, so they're the only
thing worth cross-checking — and that check is what caught p4.
C IS RIGHT ABOUT p1 AND I WAS WRONG, for the third time. My comment claimed
C's 1.08 kN didn't reproduce, that p1 peaked at 1.27 and the line won on TIME
rather than headroom. Re-measured on the dressed yard, same flight:
shade cloth p1 0.98 kN 0/4 lost membrane p1 1.23 kN p1 LETS GO
p1 never touches its 1.2 kN rating on cloth — 18% of real headroom. Where 1.27
came from: a loadout where a corner BROKE and dumped its share onto p1 (the
same quad with hardware the budget can't buy reads 2.48). Any p1 number
gathered without checking `lost` measures a cascade, not a fabric.
So the fabric is the decision, not a skin: 0.98 vs 1.23 against a 1.20 rating
is the difference between the $5 carabiner holding the wild night and failing
it. New assert `fabric decides p1` locks that in, so nobody has to trust the
paragraph.
selftest.html rendered ['A'..'E'] while importing BAL too, so the balance
suite ran, counted toward the summary, and had every row silently dropped —
including, had one gone red, the row saying which assert failed. The merge
gate was invisible in its own report. My bug: I added the import, not the
renderer. Now derived from the report.
Selftest: 276 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (LANE BAL now visible).

SPRINT9 §Lane D: "play site_02 cold and log where the verbs break (the ladder
assumes fascia height; the carport may not have one)". site_02 isn't landed yet,
so I audited the verb against it instead of waiting.
The seam is real but it isn't height — it's that `needsLadder` is spelled
`type === 'house'`, and contracts.js types anchors as a closed enum
('house'|'tree'|'post') that E's carport doesn't fit. The failure mode is what
makes it worth fixing now: if needsLadder says false, interact's canReach returns
TRUE UNCONDITIONALLY, so the player re-rigs a 2.6 m bracket standing on the grass
and the mechanic silently stops existing. Same disease as StumbleBack's dead
threshold and the camera-less shadow grid — a rule keyed on the wrong thing,
failing open with no error.
A pure height test is NOT the fix: posts (3.95 m) and tree limbs (5.05 m) are
higher than the fascia and need no ladder, because you work the CLOTH there and
the bracket here. So needsLadder now reads data first —
`anchor.worksAtBracket` — exactly like anchor.ratingHint already does from the
GLB's userData, and falls back to site_01's type. Nothing on site_01 carries the
flag, so it's a no-op there (asserted). Lane A/E: set it in the site JSON and the
ladder follows the site with no code change.
Also made ladder.js headless-importable (lazy GLTFLoader, same as broom.js),
because d.test.js was testing fakeLadder's hand-copied duplicate of needsLadder
rather than the rule itself — a rule the suite re-implements is one it cannot
catch drifting. Verified the ladder's GLB still loads in the browser.
62 Lane D asserts headless, 275/0/0 in the browser.

carport_01 is site_02's dressing and its whole design. DESIGN.md wants the
corner block anchor-poor, and the interesting way to build that isn't 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. Light posts on small
pads, a beam sized for one sheet of roofing: tie 25 m2 to it in a southerly and
you take the carport, not the shackle. Ships with the worst ratings in the game
(beam 0.22 vs the fascia's 0.35) and collateral="carport", pinned in e.test.js
below the fascia with the reason attached, so nobody quietly fixes them upward
and turns the site back into a small yard.
The pyrrhic card is the third outcome on the same camera: dawn, bed green, gnome
standing, sail post down across the yard behind him. Warm light on purpose — a
pyrrhic result is a win, and the wreckage is the price, not the verdict. Copy
goes to Lane A in THREADS; cardpreview renders all three.

A venturi is a shelter's opposite — a gap between buildings SPEEDS the wind up
when it blows along the gap's axis. Where a tree shadow depends on being downwind
of the tree, a venturi depends on the wind being ALIGNED with a fixed axis the
SITE owns, so it fires only when the storm's direction swings to match: the
corner block is calm until the southerly comes through, then it screams. That
interplay is exactly SPRINT9's brief — funnel geometry is the site's, the wind
that funnels is the storm's.
Extends the existing shelter system rather than bolting on a parallel one:
speedAt/vecAt/verticalAt all route through one localHoriz, which now folds
venturiFactor in alongside spatialFactor and shelterFactor. The downdraft rides
local speed, so a funnelled wind gets a proportionally stronger downdraft for
free — physically right.
`setVenturi(list)` on the wind + router (A's "add it to the router too" rule; the
tripwire is green). Inert on an empty list, so backyard_01 is byte-identical —
asserted. Multiplier is ALWAYS ≥ 1 (a venturi accelerates, never shelters), and
it's C1-continuous through the change, so it can't snap a corner — both asserted
(aligned wind boosts 1.5×, crosswind exactly 1.0×, max frame jump 0.50 m/s).
Data lives in site JSON (A's schema, arriving with the extraction) — this is the
physics + the setter, ready to wire. Proposed shape flagged for A in THREADS.
Also fixed a stale comment: storm_02's _gusts_comment still said "HELD at 0.12
for now" from Sprint 3 while the value has been 0.45 since Sprint 4 — a lying
comment in a repo that reads comments as canon. Now records the real history and
the pending paired-0.40 flip.

Selftest 275/0/0. balance.test: **$80 · shade cloth · p1,p2,p3,p4 ->
hp 63, 0/4 lost — CLEAN WIN.** First time the wild night has been
winnable without sacrificing the rig. C found the line and the $10 gap;
this spends both levers together, as they only work together.
Fabric is priced at $0 BOTH WAYS, and that is a finding, not laziness.
SPRINT6 asked me to price the difference; I measured it and there is no
price at which membrane is a sane buy — it is dominated:
buys: +26% hail, but only on the PEA-hail nights (hailBlockFor(0.7,
0.3)=0.74), which are the easy ones — on storm_02 (1.3) and the
ice night (1.4) a knit already blocks 100%, because a 2 cm stone
can't pass a 2 mm weave (C's ruling). Plus rain, at 0.25 of the
drain vs hail's 5.0 — ~5% of the damage.
costs: double the wind load, and it PONDS.
Charge for that and you've shipped a trap. Free, it's DESIGN.md's actual
words — "fabric choice is a forecast bet" — and the bet is real: cloth on
the windy nights, membrane when the hail is small and the wind is mild.
If A ever raises rain's weight, membrane earns a price.
Wired C's hailBlockFor into skyfx.gardenHailExposure, which nothing
consumed — without it the fabric choice would have been cosmetic, which
is the bug class this repo keeps finding.
I did NOT reproduce C's numbers, and the comment says so rather than
repeating them. C reported p1 dropping to 1.08 kN (under a carabiner's
1.2) with cloth + 0.40. I measure 1.27, and p1 never crosses under 1.2 at
any combo. The line still wins on a $5 carabiner — but because 1.27 vs
1.2 is a 6% overshoot and breaking needs 0.4 s SUSTAINED, not because the
corner got under its rating. The margin is TIME, not headroom, and it's
thinner than the table implies: anything that lengthens storm_02's gust
HOLDS could take it. Flagged for C in THREADS.
The old t2 quad stays as the sacrifice-play control (hp 56, 2/4 lost) —
now a worse bet the shop will happily sell you, rather than the wild
night's only outcome.

The integrator demoted my settled-at-entry guard to a warning at the Sprint-8
merge and handed B+D the redesign. Investigating it refuted the stated cause and
found a better observable.
The ponding diagnosis does not hold: every storm's rain curve starts at [0,0], so
storm_02.rainMmPerHour(0) is 0.0 mm/h and a held clock rains nothing. The real
confound was that the guard measured in the STORM's wind while the rig settled in
CALM — and that calm->storm step is one the REAL GAME ALSO HAS (wind.use() swaps
on the phase change), so it was never a harness artifact. Their 2 s windows were
also shorter than the cloth's breath: 2 s reads a 32% trend on a settled rig
where 3 s reads 6%.
But fixing the clock isn't enough, because LOAD cannot answer this question at
all. In calm there is no transient to see — the unsettled rig is LIGHTER (0.30 kN
vs 0.47 settled) and the trend test passes at every settle length from 0 to 20 s.
A guard that cannot fail is decoration, which is precisely what StumbleBack and
the fake skips were.
So ask the physical question: has the cloth stopped MOVING. Mean node drift
separates ~6x either side, and cannot be confused by wind or water:
unsettled (0 s) -> 212 mm/s (cover quad) · 208 (miss quad)
settled (8-20 s) -> 35 mm/s worst breath, typically 4-6
Limit 100 mm/s. Proved it FAILS before trusting it to pass: sabotaged the settle
to 0 s and it fired — "cloth still drifting 212 mm/s (limit 100)".
The integrator's 600 N floor was a sound amendment to the LOAD design; it isn't
carried over because drift has no units of force and 212-vs-35 is not a judgement
call. 274/0/0, all five balance asserts green.

The garden is the client's. The sail is yours. Saving the bed with a rig that
tore itself apart is the job done expensively — not a failure. DESIGN.md doesn't
call a cascade a loss, it calls it "a firework you paid for", and *paid for* is
the point: the aftermath already bills the broken hardware, the collateral, and a
week's fee you didn't earn cleanly. Gating the win on corners bills you twice for
one night and then lies about it — the same species as the verdict that used to
tell a 4/4 hold they'd skimped.
B and D arrived here independently with the numbers, and B checked what it does
NOT break: cheap rigs still lose (4x carabiner -> hp 38), rigs that miss the bed
still lose (hp 36), $80 still cannot buy immunity. C's exhaustive sweep found the
only winnable $80 line on the wild night lands exactly here — hp 52, 1 lost.
The pyrrhic ending gets its own verdict, and it had to be checked FIRST: `lost >= 2`
was unconditionally a cascade-and-a-loss, and under the new rule it can be the
best night the game has. Two asserts pin both halves — garden saved + sail
destroyed is a win that still names the weakest link; the same wreck WITHOUT the
garden is still a plain cascade, because the garden is the whole job.
Selftest 276 pass / 0 fail (Lane A 32 -> 34).

Ran every remaining suite-vs-game difference one at a time against the real
storm. None of them moves the corner count:
live calm settle (running clock + calmWind) entry 1.94 -> 0.40 kN, 2 lost
live tree sway t2 4.33 -> 4.55 kN, 2 lost
walked repair timing (~4 s) 2 lost
all three together hp 58, 2 lost
Then checked the structural candidates: anchors are bit-identical between
harnesses (all four, 0.0000 m), ring order is identical (p4,t2,t2b,p3), and
wind.sample() at t2 matches to 2 dp (36.49 m/s @ t=75.9) across suite, suite
with shelters, and the live router.
So I re-ran the live game itself, fresh page, A's exact line, tension 1.0:
live -> hp 58, 2 lost [t2,t2b], t2 peak 4.55 kN
suite -> hp 58, 2 lost [t2,t2b], t2 peak 4.54 kN
They agree. The suite was right.
RETRACTED: my Sprint-7 "12 s settle flips 2 lost -> 1". It does not reproduce —
0 s and 12 s both end 2 lost, because the storm's own peak (4.54 kN at t=75.9)
dwarfs the attach transient. The settle is a real fidelity fix and NOT the
corner-count cause. B's arithmetic was right from their first post: t2 pulls
~4.5 kN, a shackle is rated 3.2, and the spare cannot save it (measured: t2b
blew @9 s, repaired, blew again).
Landed anyway, because it is still true and still worth guarding: fly() now
settles the way main.js drives prep (calmWind on a running clock, not the storm
frozen at t=0), and a new "the yard is SETTLED when the storm starts" assert
holds every run under 1.0 kN at entry. 266 pass / 1 red — the red is the
pyrrhic-win design call, not a bug, and it now says so.

Screenshot POST declined — yardshot works standalone, so it buys convenience not
capability. Saying no rather than carrying either an eighth sprint.

SPRINT8 gate 1, carried since Sprint 6. week.js is a thin wrapper over the phase
machine, not a new system: it answers three questions between rounds — which
storm is tonight, how much money is there, and is it over. Zero THREE, pure data,
so the ladder and the money are testable at no cost.
The forecast card stops being a difficulty picker and becomes NIGHT n OF 5 with
the ladder as pips, tonight's storm, and the bank. Aftermath itemises the
settlement (fee / bonus / gear recovered / collateral / spent → bank), and E's
dawn tint comes up on their 2.2s ease BEFORE the scoreboard — their note is right
that you sell the survival first. E's diptych and copy are wired verbatim.
Two economy decisions, both made because measuring the week exposed them:
A lost night pays a FRACTION of the fee. Zero is unrecoverable and reads as
punishment; full pay means failure only costs the broken shackle and the bank
only ever climbs. Gear comes back at HALF — a full refund makes hardware free, so
the only sink is breakage and "broke = game over" becomes unreachable. Half is
also honest: a shackle that rode out a gale has been fatigued, which DESIGN.md
already says.
And the one that matters: REACHING night five is not SURVIVING it. My first draft
said it was, and playing the week found it — a $20-carabiner player loses four
gardens, never dips under the broke line because a cheap rig barely costs
anything, and got handed "THE WEEK HELD — everything's still where you put it"
over four dead gardens. The end card is the last thing this game says; it doesn't
get to lie the way the aftermath verdict used to. Words now scale with gardens
held: clean (5), scraped (3-4, E's own alternate copy), solvent (0-2, mine —
"STILL TRADING · The books balanced. The garden didn't." E never wrote words for
that ending because nobody knew the game could produce it).
Two economy questions I could NOT settle from a harness and have documented
rather than quietly tuned: a competent week runs the bank 80 → 350, so night five
stops being a decision; and a floor-scraping week may never actually go broke.
My bad-player model handed back a fixed $30 of gear whatever it spent, which
flattered the bottom of the curve — the same class of mistake this repo keeps
catching me in. Both want a human playing five nights.
Selftest 270 pass; the single red is gate 0's balance line, which is B+D's this
sprint and was already red on main.

The model landed in Sprint 6 and nothing ever called it, which is why this kept
getting carried: `forecastFor` existed while the card went on estimating inline.
So this is the wiring, not more API.
`forecastLines(def, lead)` turns a storm into the card's two stat lines, already
worded in A's voice. lead 0 = tonight = exact numbers (reads exactly as the card
always has); further out it hedges into ranges and prints a confidence line. The
bands always contain the truth — a forecast may be vague, never wrong, or a
player who rigs for the top of the stated range gets ambushed.
Two things the card gains beyond the bands:
- The numbers are now MEASURED. The inline estimate (`baseCurve peak + powBase
+ powRamp`) read 30 m/s for storm_02; it really gusts to 32.3, because gust
power is drawn per gust and rides a ramp. The wild night now says 116 km/h
because that is what hits you.
- The card finally MENTIONS HAIL. Hail has been the garden score since decision
13 and the forecast never said so — you were being scored on something the
card didn't tell you was coming. Now: "hail likely" on the wild night, silent
on the gentle one, "possible" when it's too far out to promise.
hud.js is Lane A's file and A is meant to build the week uninterrupted, so this
is deliberately a 3-line swap that keeps their markup, classes and wording — the
week's card rewrite can carry it or drop `forecastLines` and call `forecastFor`
directly. `lead` defaults to 0, so nothing changes until the week passes one.
Verified live at both ends: tonight renders exact; five nights receding into the
week render 0%-confidence hedges ("16–28 m/s · gusts ~72–144 km/h · hail
possible"). Selftest 265/0/0 + gate 0's 2 skips.

step() opened `if (!camera) return`, which read as an innocent null-guard and
was in fact a physics gate: a harness with no camera skipped the shadow-grid
rebuild, so gardenExposure/gardenHailExposure reported full exposure no matter
what the cloth was doing, and every rig scored as if the sail did not exist.
hp 36 was the bare-bed constant all along. It cost gate 0 two sprints of four
lanes' time before A found it, and the fix belongs in my file, not in each
harness that trips over it.
A camera means "there is a view to place things in", not "the weather is real".
So the grids — what the sail actually DOES — now rebuild above the render gate,
with the yard centre as the wind-sample fallback; only drops, dome, lights and
audio sit below it. Headless callers get correct numbers and skip the 3k drop
matrices they were never going to draw.
Asserted both halves so it cannot come back: a camera-less skyfx shelters the
bed (hail shadow > 0.9, exposure < 0.1 under a panel), and the camera does not
change the physics — headless and viewed shadows agree to 1e-9. If anyone
re-adds an early return, that test goes red.
Selftest 264/0/0 + the 2 gate-0 skips.

Drove the live game — settled through prep, rig verified unchanged across
the phase boundary (contaminated: false) — and it returns hp 58, 2 lost.
This suite returns hp 57, 2 lost. A's hp 58 was right and reproduces to a
point; A's "1 lost" was the miscount. The two harnesses now agree on both
numbers and the dispute is over.
All three SPRINT8 candidates tested; none flips the corner count:
V1 settle under live calm wind + world.update sway -> 2 lost, t2 4.4
V2 ... and live sway through the storm too -> 2 lost, t2 4.6 (worse)
V3 repair delayed 0 / 3 / 6 / 10 s (a real walk) -> 2 lost
Nothing could flip it, because losing 2 is not a bug — it is the shop:
t2 4.6 kN, t2b 3.5, p3 3.5 all need the $30 rated shackle; p4 2.9 takes
a $15 shackle. Holding all four = $105, $120 with the spare a repair
needs. Budget is $80. Three corners sit above shackle grade and $80 buys
two, so the wild night's best line ends hp 58 with the garden alive and
the rig dead.
That is SPRINT8's escape hatch, and it's a design question handed to A:
`lost < 2` calls this a loss, DESIGN.md calls it the story. The assert now
asserts the half that IS physics (the garden must survive, hp >= 50) and
reports the corner count as the open question, so the suite states the
measurement rather than pre-empting A's ruling.
Landed D's settled-at-entry guard, as a windowed TREND test rather than an
instantaneous one: measured, the worst corner oscillates 0.9 -> 1.9 -> 1.3
-> 1.7 kN under constant wind because damping is deliberately light, so
there is no single settled value and a "has it stopped moving" check can
never pass — it would just be a flaky assert someone deletes. Comparing
consecutive 2 s means catches a real transient and tolerates the breathing.
Same lesson as the statics assert in sail.selftest.
Selftest: 266 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped — green for the first time since
SPRINT6.

B asked for the hail ruling before coding fabric choice; this is it as code.
The physics: porosity is about AIR (blows through → less wind load) and WATER
(drains → no ponding), NOT ice. A knitted shade cloth's gaps are ~1-3 mm; a
damaging hailstone is 6-45 mm, so it can't pass a mesh an order of magnitude
finer than itself — porous and membrane block the big stones identically. The
ONE true difference is the finest pea hail, which IS small enough to rattle
through an open weave. So: membrane stops everything; porous stops everything
except the smallest stones.
Verified across the storm sizes: shade cloth (0.3) fully blocks the wild-night
1.3/1.4 stones and leaks 26% of storm_03's 0.7 pea hail; an open 0.5 weave
leaks 90% of pea hail but still catches the big ice. That makes the fabric
choice cost you exactly on the mild-hail nights and stay honest on the ice
nights — a real tradeoff without a physics lie.
The assert also proves the integration end to end so nobody wires it blind: a
membrane-covered bed takes ~0 hail on storm_03, a porous-covered one takes 0.62
— the choice is genuinely non-trivial. Formula for whoever wires the garden
drain: coveredHail = hailShadowOver(bed) * hailBlockFor(hailSize, sail.porosity).
Pure helper (no THREE), exported through weather.js alongside stormStats/
forecastFor; NOT on the wind contract, so no router change. Selftest 263/0/0.

Each limb was one straight uniform tube — a peg poking out of a pole, and the
most visible art problem in docs/yard_day.jpg. They now leave the trunk thick,
sweep up on a bezier and taper to nothing, which is what a gum does. +96 tris on
gum_01, silhouette bounds unchanged.
Nothing physical moved. The tip is a bezier endpoint and the four rng draws per
branch are the same four in the same order, so every branch_anchor_* is
bit-for-bit where it was — verified before and after, all five identical to 6dp.
Lane A's winning line rigs off t2 and is untouched; no balance number can shift.
e.test.js now hard-codes those five world positions as a tripwire, so no future
art change of mine can quietly invalidate a sprint of someone else's physics. If
it goes red, the art moved an anchor — fix the art, not the numbers.
Card text and the dawn-tint treatment go to Lane A in THREADS. The tint is a CSS
snippet rather than a ninth texture: only two of my eight are consumed, and a
full-screen gradient needs no asset at all.

THE CAUSE, and it is not a winner: balance.test.js built skyfx with no camera,
and skyfx.step() opens `if (!camera) return;` — so the hail shadow grid was
never rebuilt across all 5400 calls and every loadout was scored as though it
had no sail. hp 36 IS the bare-bed number. Measured with the camera as the only
variable: hailShadowOver(bed) peaks 0.000 vs 1.000, hp 36 vs 69. Neither harness
was lying; one was flying a yard with no cloth in it. Camera + wind shelters
added — the suite must drive what the game drives.
MY ERROR, named: the hp-58 win was measured at tension 1.0 and I never declared
it. At the shop's default 0.9 my own end-to-end also loses 2 corners.
STILL OPEN: this suite says 2 corners lost, my end-to-end says 1 at tension 1.0.
Ruled out by measurement, each worth <=0.02 kN: shelters, frozen vs live tree
sway, the scripted repair. Next suspects named in the skip: session.commit() vs
rigSail(), and main.js passing debris as rig.step's 4th arg (debris ADDS load,
so it should break MORE here, not less — that inversion is the thread).
And the find that explains how this survived a merge: Suite.test() ignored its
return value, so `return "SKIPPED — ..."` was recorded as a PASS. The
integrator's storm_02 skip was a fake pass; so was mine for storm_01; `skip: 0`
in every report we ever printed was the tell and nobody read it, me included — I
misread one of those fakes as my win reproducing. test() now honours the string,
and rejects async fns outright (they hand back a Promise that cannot throw
synchronously, passing forever while proving nothing).
That guard immediately caught its own author: BOTH my wind-router tripwire tests
were async and have asserted nothing for two sprints — including the sprint where
I reported the tripwire "caught its first real omission". It had, in a hand-run
probe, never in the suite. Awaits hoisted into run(); they asserted for the first
time today, and pass.
