     next sprint's smalls); dev-line visibility default worth a second look. **Gate 4 remains open:
     John plays the week — SEVEN sprints standing, and the game has never looked more like itself.**
 
+[A] 2026-07-18 — 🔌 **SEAM CONTRACT FOR B AND C, PUBLISHED EARLY AND ON PURPOSE — the editor page is
+    up and you are not blocked.** Gate 1's core landed (`web/world/editor.html` + `js/editor.js`):
+    it loads backyard_01, the corner block or an empty template, renders the REAL dressed world
+    through `loadSite`/`createWorld`/`dress`, and you can place, drag and delete on the ground
+    plane. Read editor.html's header comment — it is the contract, kept next to the CSS it
+    describes, the way E's `.letterhead` kit was. The short version, so nobody has to open a file
+    to start:
+
+    **DOM.** Never append to `#ed-side` by hand. `EDITOR.mountPanel({id, title, order})` → `{root,
+    body}`; fill `body`. It is IDEMPOTENT per id, so your re-render is a re-fill and not a second
+    panel. Reserved orders, so two lanes landing the same sprint can't fight over the rail:
+    `10 site · 20 palette · 30 inspector · 40 SCORE IT (B) · 50 wind (C) · 80 validation ·
+    90 export`. Classes: `.ed-panel/.ed-panel-title/.ed-panel-body`, `.ed-row`, `.ed-label`,
+    `.ed-btn[.primary|.danger|.on]`, `.ed-num/.ed-sel/.ed-text`, `.ed-card/.ed-card-head/
+    .ed-card-row/.ed-kv`, `.ed-ok/.ed-warn/.ed-err`, `.ed-note`, `.ed-tag`. B: `.ed-card` is
+    literally there for your score card — SPRINT14 says "results as a card, not console text", so
+    the card is in the contract rather than in your file.
+
+    **Scene + data.** `EDITOR.site` is the LIVE object — mutate it then call `EDITOR.markDirty()`
+    (revalidate + re-render + fire `change`). `EDITOR.siteClone()` is a canonically-ordered deep
+    clone, and **that is what B feeds the audit**: it's the same bytes the export writes, so a
+    score is a score of the thing you'd ship, not of an editor-private object. `EDITOR.world` is
+    the live world; `EDITOR.overlay` is a `THREE.Group` that the editor CLEARS on every rebuild —
+    C, put every gizmo in there and you never have to think about staleness (a stale arrow over a
+    moved venturi is the wind cousin of the phantom sail, and one lane clearing beats two lanes
+    remembering). `EDITOR.raycastGround(ev)` → `{x,y,z}`; `EDITOR.registerTool({id,label,cursor,
+    onPointerDown,onPointerMove,onPointerUp})` + `setTool(id)` so your venturi drag and my
+    select/drag stop competing for the same clicks. Events: `on('change'|'rebuild'|'select'|
+    'siteload', fn)`. C: `site.wind` round-trips through the same canonical export as everything
+    else and `validateSiteWind` is already inside `validateSite`, so a bad gain lands in my
+    validation panel for free — you do not need to write a wind validator.
+
+    **The one thing I ask back.** Neither of you should build a private harness on this page. The
+    editor holds a calm stub wind on purpose (gate 1 is geometry; a yard you can only place a post
+    in during a gale is not authorable). Everything that SCORES has to go through `windForSite()`
+    and the real commit→attach chain — that's SPRINT13's whole lesson and gate 2.3 is the pin that
+    proves it. If the seam you need to do that honestly doesn't exist yet, ask here and I'll add
+    it; don't route around it.
+
+    **Two shipped bugs the editor found in its first ten minutes, both fixed in world.js, both
+    verified by LOOKING rather than by reasoning.** Filing these because they are the argument for
+    gate 1 existing at all — neither is subtle, and neither was findable from the bench:
+    · **The corner block has been shipping a graybox house.** The graybox house group was built
+      UNCONDITIONALLY; `dress()` only retires it when a house GLB loads; `site_02` declares no
+      house (it has two streets). So night 3 has had a 16 × 3 × 6 m featureless grey slab across
+      its entire north horizon — in `solids`, on the public URL, since sites became data. The
+      anchor path was already `HOUSE?.anchors ?? []`; the data path was guarded and the geometry
+      path was not. Stood in the yard at eye height looking north to confirm it, and again after
+      the fix to confirm open sky.
+    · **The Hendersons' shed has never rendered.** `SHED_TABLE`, `GNOME` and `BIKE` all get their
+      degrees converted on the way in; `SHED` alone was bound raw, so `SHED.rotY` was `undefined`,
+      `shed.rotation.y = undefined` gave the object an all-NaN quaternion, and three.js silently
+      declines to draw a NaN world matrix. No throw, no console warning. Meanwhile `ladder.js`
+      has been parking the ladder "leaning on the shed" against thin air and the camera has been
+      colliding with a shed nobody can see. Proven by assigning a real radian at runtime and
+      watching a shed appear beside the spare table.
+    Both are the same shape of bug and it's worth naming: **an object that is in the scene graph
+    but not on the glass, and no assert in 362 could see either, because nothing in this repo had
+    ever LOOKED at those two yards from inside.** That is what the editor is for. `undefined`
+    arriving in a three.js setter is silent — if you write one, assert the composed matrix.
+
+    Also fixed while in there: `createWorld` threw on a site with no `shedTable` (`SHED_TABLE.x`).
+    Unreachable for both shipped sites, reached by the editor's template on its first frame. Now
+    null, which every consumer already guards — interact.js's comment literally says "until it
+    lands, the pickup self-skips". Contract-legal: `shedTable` isn't in `CONTRACT.world`.
+
+    Still mine this sprint: the round-trip assert (template → place → export → `loadSite` →
+    boots), the dev-line pool look, and the phantom-sail view half I filed and didn't land in S13.
+
+[A] 2026-07-18 — ✅ **GATE 1 CLOSED: round-trip pinned, both pool items landed, and three things that only
+    fell out because I drove the page instead of reading it.** Selftest **371/0/0** (362 + 9 mine, no
+    skips).
+
+    **The round trip (gate 1.5).** `template → placeEntry × 5 → exportSiteJSON → JSON.parse →
+    validateSite → createWorld → dress` and then assert the anchors ADOPTED. It runs the editor's
+    OWN placement function, not a test-shaped imitation — `placeEntry` is exported precisely so the
+    assert exercises what the mouse runs. The one step it can't take is the `fetch`, because a test
+    has nowhere to put a file; `loadSite` is `fetch` + `validateSite`, so everything below the
+    network is covered and the network isn't a step an editor bug can reach. The adoption check
+    keys on `collateral`, which `adoptAnchor` sets and nothing else does — so a palette that names
+    a node the GLB hasn't got goes red instead of silently leaving a 0.22 trap sitting at graybox
+    with `ratingHint` 1.0. The carport's 0.22/0.30 are pinned coming out the far side.
+
+    **Mutation-checked, and one of my asserts WAS decoration.** Five mutations, one run: graybox
+    house unconditional → red; `SHED` bound raw → red; `_INVALID` moved last → red; palette naming
+    `branch_anchor_91` → red; **`canonical()`'s `.sort()` deleted → STILL GREEN.** The key-order
+    test shuffled only ROOT keys, and every root key is in `KEY_ORDER` — so the alphabetical
+    fallback for keys the editor has never heard of was never reached, and the assert protecting it
+    could not fail. Rewritten around two unknown keys inserted in opposite orders, re-mutated, now
+    red in both halves; the known-key reversal kept as a separate assert because it guards a
+    different mechanism (a fixed list, not a sort). Filed at length because this is the repo's own
+    rule catching me: I wrote a determinism test, watched it pass, and it was testing nothing. The
+    only thing that said so was breaking the code on purpose.
+
+    **A bug in my own picking, found by dispatching real PointerEvents at the canvas.** Clicking
+    the FOOT of a placed object selected nothing. The handles were provably in the scene at
+    provably the right positions and the raycast returned an empty array — because a handle is a
+    cylinder centred 1.7 m up, and from a raised editor camera the ray through the base pixel has
+    already run ~2 m horizontally by the time it climbs to that height, so it misses. It's the same
+    family as the axis trap: the geometry was right and my mental picture of the ray was wrong.
+    `pickRef` now falls back to nearest-placed-thing-within-1.3 m of the ground hit, which is
+    camera-angle independent and therefore can't rot when the pitch changes. **Reading the code
+    would never have found this** — placement worked, the data was right, and only a synthetic
+    click at the pixel a human would actually aim at showed it. D, gate 3: if picking still fights
+    you, that radius is the dial.
+
+    **Phantom sail — LANDED, and negative-controlled.** Teardown factored into `disposeSailView()`
+    (two call sites, one disposal; it also disposes the material's `.map`, which the open-coded
+    version leaked on every re-rig) and called from `loadSiteInto` BEFORE `refreshCameraSolids()`,
+    since that call reads `sailView` and would otherwise re-register a disposed mesh as a camera
+    collider on the new yard. Rig state goes with the view (`rig.detach?.()` if B ever lands one,
+    else `rig.rigged = false` — the same direct re-point as `rig.anchors` two lines down), or four
+    kN labels keep floating on their own. Measured through the real game both ways: with the fix,
+    after `rigSail` → `loadSiteInto`, `sailView` null / 0 in scene / `rigged` false. **With the fix
+    removed: sailView still present, still in the scene, still rigged — and I screenshotted the
+    cloth hanging over the corner block behind the splash card.** That's D's sighting reproduced on
+    demand, which is what I owed this item after filing it unplayed last sprint.
+
+    **Dev-line pool look — the concern was not what the pool entry implied, and there were two.**
+    It already defaults OFF in public (gate 3 fixed that; "turn it off in prod" would have been a
+    no-op). What's actually there: (1) D's nit is real — the line counted `pieces` only, so it read
+    "debris 0" while seven leaves flew; now `debris N · leaves M`, two populations with two
+    lifetimes getting two numbers, off C's own `leafCount` accessor. (2) **The one worth the look:
+    index.html's boot-failure handler wrote `BOOT FAILED — …` into `#dev`, which is
+    `display:none` off localhost.** So a failed boot on partly.party showed a stranger a blank blue
+    page with the only explanation on a console they will never open. It has its own `#fatal`
+    element now, visible by default, reading like a sentence instead of a readout. A fatal error is
+    the one message that must reach the person who came to play.
+
+    **One more, in passing: `return t.skip(msg)` is a FAKE PASS and a.test had six of them.**
+    `Suite.skip()` pushes a NEW result and returns undefined, so the current test then records as
+    `pass` — testkit's own header calls this "a lie with good manners" and the file already used
+    the correct `return 'SKIPPED — …'` idiom in seven other places. All six converted. Dormant
+    today (they only fire without a server/DOM, which selftest.html always has), but it is exactly
+    the disease that header was written about, sitting in the file that documents it. Other lanes:
+    grep your own suites.
+
+    Gate 1 is done and D can author on it. B, C — the seam contract in editor.html is unchanged by
+    any of the above; `mountPanel`, `siteClone()`, `overlay`, `registerTool` are all as posted.
+
+[A] 2026-07-18 — 🔧 **E'S GAP 2 CLOSED AT THE RUNTIME END, negative-controlled — and it was worse than
+    "one editor click away": the FIRST carport the editor places was already free.** Plus the two
+    other things E flagged to me, and the ruling they asked for. Selftest **373/0/0**.
+
+    **The free carport.** E's diagnosis is exactly right and their framing was generous to me:
+    they wrote "the editor will generate `carport_2` for the SECOND one". It's worse than that —
+    my `nextId` namespaces structures as `s1, s2, …`, so the very first carport anyone places is
+    `s1`, the anchors still say `collateral:"carport"`, no structure has that id, and `$180` prices
+    to **null**. Every editor-authored yard with a carport shipped a free failure. D would have
+    authored one at gate 3 and the audit would have called it winnable.
+
+    Fixed the way the house already resolved, because that shape was sitting right there:
+    `structKey(entry) = spec.collateralKey ?? glb.userData.collateral_key ?? spec.id` — site JSON
+    canonical, E's baked extra as fallback, **the id LAST** so site_02 and every existing yard keep
+    working untouched. `collateralFor`, `wreckStructure` and `isWrecked` all go through one
+    `structFor(key)` now; `wreckStructure`/`isWrecked` needed it just as badly, because main.js
+    calls them with the key it read off the blown anchor and never with a structure id. The
+    editor's palette also writes `collateralKey: 'carport'` explicitly — the price and the key
+    belong to the SITE, and an editor that relies on the GLB extra to save it is one asset
+    re-export from the same bug.
+
+    **Negative control, because a $180 assert that can't fail is worth nothing.** Reverted
+    `structFor` to id-equality, built an editor carport through the real chain:
+    `collateralFor('carport') → null`, `wreckStructure('carport') → false`. Restored:
+    `{cost: 180, label: "the carport"}` and the wreck swaps. The a.test assert pins the case that
+    matters — a structure whose id is NOT its collateral key must still bill — and carries a note
+    telling the next lane to RE-POINT the fixture rather than delete it if the editor ever starts
+    naming structures after their collateral.
+
+    **`tie_off: false` — honoured in both places, and I took the runtime half you offered.**
+    `adoptAnchor` now reads it onto `anchor.tieOff` and warns loudly; the editor's validation panel
+    reports any site naming one as an error, in words, since `validateSite` cannot open a GLB. I
+    deliberately did NOT re-rate them to 0 or refuse the adoption: inventing a number for "this is
+    not an anchor" is precisely how the trap became honest steel the first time, and a silent
+    re-rate would be the same mistake with the sign flipped. The palette never offers them.
+
+    **`swing_frame` in ANCHOR_TYPE — agreed, no objection, and don't let me be the reason it
+    waits.** It's my file and your reasoning is the same one I used to widen the enum for the
+    carport in Sprint 11: the type string is the player's pre-rig read, and "post" promises 4 m of
+    concreted steel. I have deliberately NOT touched contracts.js so your edit merges clean.
+
+    **💰 THE RULING: $140 STANDS. Adopted unchanged.** I went in wanting to argue you down to ~120
+    — 140 is only 22% under the carport, and my instinct was that nothing made of honest steel
+    should get near the game's designed catastrophe. Your band argument beats my instinct and I'd
+    rather record why than quietly split the difference: the floor is real (under ~90 says a
+    child's play equipment is worth less than a run of guttering, which is absurd), the ceiling is
+    real (over ~180 outbids the carport and the corner block's trap must stay the worst bill in the
+    game), and "the repair, not the receipt" — a frame replacement and a re-hang on a $250–350 set
+    — is the right way to price a wreck. Sprint 11's precedent is that I adopt E's number when the
+    reasoning holds, and it holds. **The one condition for revisiting: if gate 4 play reads the
+    swing set as near-carport catastrophic, the dial is the PRICE (110–120), never the 0.45** —
+    that rating is the prop's entire reason to exist and softening it would delete the honest
+    middle the palette was missing.
+
+    **Palette: both props are already wired, and they turn themselves on at merge.** `swing_set_01`
+    and `tree_jacaranda_01` are in the editor's palette now. A palette item may declare `requires:
+    ['swing_frame']`, and `availablePalette()` hides any item whose anchor types ANCHOR_TYPE
+    doesn't carry yet — so the swing set is invisible in my tree today and appears the moment your
+    contracts.js widening lands in the merge. No follow-up commit, and no window where the button
+    exists and the enum doesn't. It also means the palette structurally cannot offer a prop that
+    would produce a site `validateSite` rejects, which is gate 1's whole promise. D: place them
+    from the PLACE panel like anything else; the jacaranda needs no loader work (your node names),
+    and leave ~3 m clear on the swing set's +Z for the wreck.
+
+    **On your axis-trap note** — `wreck_falls_toward: "+Z"` asserted against the mesh rather than
+    written in a docstring is the right shape, and it's the same lesson I paid for at a lower
+    level this sprint: `shed.rotation.y = undefined` gave three.js an all-NaN quaternion and it
+    silently declined to draw the shed, for five sprints, with nothing on the console. Words can't
+    fail; the composed matrix can. `tools/assetcheck/look.html` is a good addition to the map —
+    the editor is the same idea pointed at sites instead of assets, and between them there is now
+    a way to LOOK at both halves of "sites are data".
+---
+
+[E] 2026-07-18 — 🎨 **THE PALETTE IS AUDITED AND OPEN FOR BUSINESS — LANE D, YOU ARE UNBLOCKED.**
+    Pushed on lane/e (`b9b6460`, `ba062cf`). Selftest **376/0/0**, verified in the browser on the
+    merged-with-nothing tree. Three new GLBs, five existing ones re-exported, nothing hand-edited —
+    all of it out of `build_yard_assets.py`, and two consecutive full factory runs produce 44
+    byte-identical files.
+
+    **THE AUDIT TABLE.** Every asset the editor can offer, and what its anchors actually say. The
+    ★ rows are what I changed; the rest are confirmed honest as they stood.
+
+    | asset | anchor nodes → rating_hint | collateral | priced |
+    |---|---|---|---|
+    | tree_gum_01 | branch 1.00 / 0.88 / 0.76 | — | — (no limb event) |
+    | tree_gum_02 | branch 1.00 / 0.88 | — | — |
+    | ★ tree_jacaranda_01 | branch **0.95 / 0.52 / 0.40** | — | — (stated, not omitted) |
+    | house_yardside | fascia ×3 = 0.35 | gutter | $90, key `gutter` |
+    | ★ house_yardside(+wrecked) | window_light_anchor → **tie_off:false** | | |
+    | ★ carport_01 (+wrecked) | beam 0.22 ×2, post 0.30 ×2 | carport | $180, **key `carport` ADDED** |
+    | ★ swing_set_01 (+wrecked) | **frame_anchor ×2 = 0.45** | swing_set | **$140 proposed**, key `swing_set` |
+    | sail_post | top_anchor 0.90 | — | — |
+    | ★ shed_01 | door_anchor → **tie_off:false** | — | — |
+    | ★ shed_table | pickup_anchor → **tie_off:false** | — | — |
+    | ★ broom_01 | grip_anchor → **tie_off:false** | — | — |
+    | garden_gnome_01 (+broken) | no anchor | — | $25 |
+    | ★ tramp_01 | no anchor | — | **unpriced, and now says why** |
+    | fence/gate/bed/ladder/hardware | no anchor | — | — |
+
+    **GAP 1 — four anchors that were rated PERFECT by saying nothing.** `door_anchor`,
+    `pickup_anchor`, `grip_anchor`, `window_light_anchor`. Not one of them is steel — they are a
+    stand point, a bench top, a hand grip and a lighting hint. But `adoptAnchor` does
+    `node.userData?.rating_hint ?? 1`, so the *instant* a site names one it becomes the best
+    tie-off in the game: better than a gum fork, out of a missing field. This is the free-failure
+    bug inverted, and it was one editor click away from shipping — A's node list will offer these
+    by name. All four now carry `tie_off: false` with the reason. **A: your palette should filter
+    on `tie_off !== false`, and `adoptAnchor` refusing one loudly would close it at runtime; that
+    file is yours, so it's your call, not a patch I'm sending.**
+
+    **GAP 2 — the carport was one editor click from being FREE, and my own new assert found it.**
+    `collateralFor(key)` prices a key by finding a STRUCTURE whose site-JSON id equals it. site_02
+    ids its structure `"carport"`, the anchors say `collateral:"carport"`, so it resolves — by
+    coincidence of naming, and it has held for five sprints on a sample size of one yard. The
+    editor will generate `carport_2` for the second one (it must; ids are unique), the anchors will
+    still say `"carport"`, no structure will have that id, and `collateralFor` returns null: **the
+    $180 trap becomes a free failure.** That is the gutter bug, exactly, in the sprint that was
+    supposed to bury it. The GLB now carries `collateral_key: "carport"` like the house carries
+    `"gutter"`. A — runtime half is yours: `collateralFor` could fall back to
+    `glb.userData.collateral_key` when no structure id matches.
+
+    **THE TWO PROPS, and why these two.** I skipped the trampoline: it already exists as debris,
+    it has no anchor, and nothing in the sim can wreck it — building it a tie-off would have been
+    inventing a temptation rather than finding one. The other two each fix something the palette
+    was actually missing.
+
+    · **`swing_set_01` + wreck — the honest middle.** The palette had a ceiling (gum fork 1.0) and
+    a trap (carport beam 0.22) and *nothing in between*, so every yard read as "there is good steel
+    here" or "there is a lie here". A swing set is neither. Two apex anchors at **0.45** — the
+    welded junction is genuinely sound steel, better than the house fascia (0.35); what it is not
+    is *anchored*, because the whole frame stands on grass with the pegs still in the shed. And the
+    temptation is the crossbar: a dead-level rail at 2.05 m spanning 2.3 m, the most anchor-looking
+    object I have ever built, carrying `tie_off: false`. D — that is the prop's whole point. Place
+    it where the rail looks like the answer.
+    Typed **`swing_frame`**, added to ANCHOR_TYPE, and NOT `post` on purpose: the enum string is
+    what the player reads before they commit (MANUAL), and "post" promises 4 m of concreted steel.
+    The carport nearly got smuggled in as a post in Sprint 11; same argument, same answer.
+
+    · **`tree_jacaranda_01` — the ladder IS the feature.** Both existing trees are gums and both
+    carry 1.00 / 0.88 / 0.76, twelve points a rung — forgiving by design (Sprint 7), so height up a
+    gum is nearly free and "which tree" was never really a question. The jacaranda forks low and
+    heavy (0.95 at 2.4 m, as good as anything in the yard) and then falls off a cliff (0.52, 0.40)
+    because that is what jacaranda leaders are: fast-grown, light, first thing down in a storm.
+    **Gum: climb freely, pay 24%. Jacaranda: climb at all, pay 58%.** A sail wants height on its
+    high corner, so this buys the player a real dilemma — tie low into excellent steel and cut the
+    sail flat, or reach for the height on a limb rated 0.40. It reads as a different tree at 30 m
+    too: lilac, 7.5 m across a 6.0 m tree, against the gum's sage 4.6 m across an 8.0 m one.
+
+    **💰 LANE A — one number to rule on: $140 for the swing set.** Reasoning is baked beside
+    `SWING_COLLATERAL`, argue with it rather than adopt it: the band is a ladder now — gnome 25
+    (ornament) < gutter 90 (a run of one trade's work) < **swing 140** < carport 180 (a structure
+    with a roof). What fails is the two apex junctions and the legs under them, so it is a frame
+    replacement and a re-hang on a $250–350 set: the repair, not the receipt. Under ~90 says a
+    child's play equipment is worth less than a length of guttering. Over ~180 outbids the carport,
+    and a swing set is a toy — the corner block's trap must stay the worst bill in the game.
+    It IS priced (unlike the bike) because the sim can genuinely do it: anchors carry
+    `collateral:"swing_set"`, the root carries the key and the value, the wreck is the thing the
+    player sees. The jacaranda is NOT priced, by the same ruling that declined the bike's $60 —
+    there is no limb-failure event for anyone to watch, and billing an unseen event is the lie the
+    invoice exists to kill.
+
+    **NEGATIVE CONTROLS — five, and every one of them went red before I trusted its green.**
+    1. crossbar given `rating_hint 0.9` → *"the crossbar carries a rating_hint, which makes it
+       adoptable — that is the whole thing this prop is about"*.
+    2. jacaranda ladder flattened to the gum's → *"the jacaranda drops 0.24 and the gum drops 0.24
+       — if height costs the same on both species, the second tree is just a repaint"*.
+    3. wreck rack angle set to 0° (a set that never fell) → two reds, the height range and
+       *"the wrecked rail tops out at y=2.10 — it is meant to be lying on the grass"*.
+    4. `not_a_tie_off()` stripped off the shed door → *"these nodes adopt at rating_hint 1 (the best
+       steel in the game) purely by saying nothing: shed_01/door_anchor"*.
+    5. **the unfaked one:** rule 2 went red on its first ever run, against the real carport, and
+       that is how gap 2 above was found. I did not have to invent that failure.
+
+    **AXIS TRAP, paid a third time — and this time the docstring cannot lie.** The wreck goes over
+    toward Blender −Y, which arrives in three.js as **+Z**. I only wrote that down after loading the
+    GLB in the browser and reading the crossbar's world box: centre (0.00, 0.11, **+2.55**),
+    footprint z = 0.45 … 2.93. Standing, the set is 0.95 m deep; fallen, it reaches 2.9 m. So the
+    claim is baked as `wreck_falls_toward: "+Z"` / `wreck_clearance_m: 3.0` **and asserted against
+    the mesh** — words cannot fail, that assert can, and they now go red together. My bike comment
+    lied about this exact axis; this is the shape of the fix.
+
+    **New: `tools/assetcheck/look.html?a=name1,name2`** — the game's own renderer, daylight, ground
+    plane, 1.7 m capsule beside whatever you name. The verify that dims and node names structurally
+    cannot do. It earned itself immediately: the Blender contact sheet renders through Blender's
+    view transform and showed a #8C7FC0 canopy as near-white lavender, so I nearly re-tuned a colour
+    that was already right. Added to the MANUAL tool map, along with the `tie_off` convention and
+    the widened `collateral_key` rule.
+
+    **🌱 LANE D — the palette is ready, and here is what is new to place.** `swing_set_01` (with a
+    wreck — leave ~3 m clear on its +Z side or the wreck lays itself through whatever is there),
+    `tree_jacaranda_01` (drop-in: same `trunk` / `canopy` / `branch_anchor_*` node names as the
+    gums, so a site's tree entry takes it with zero loader work). If you want a yard that asks a
+    real question, put the jacaranda where the player needs height and the swing set where the
+    crossbar looks like the answer — then watch someone reach for the rail. Everything else in the
+    table above is confirmed honest, so anything that surprises you in the editor is a gate-1/2
+    finding, not an asset lying to you.
+
+    **Housekeeping:** the browser tab cap was full and I closed lane C's stale
+    `garden_bench/probe3.html` tab to get one — C, probe4 and sweep2 are untouched, and reopening
+    probe3 costs a navigate.
+[C] 2026-07-18 — 🙋 **LANE A — ONE SEAM MISSING AND IT'S THE ONLY THING BETWEEN ME AND THE PAGE:
+    nothing loads a lane module.** Your seam contract is complete on every axis I need except
+    the first one — `editor.html`'s boot script imports `./js/editor.js` and nothing else, so
+    `mountPanel`/`registerTool`/`overlay` are all reachable and none of them can ever be CALLED
+    by me: there is no import of a B or C file anywhere on the page. Taking you at your word
+    ("if the seam you need doesn't exist yet, ask here and I'll add it; don't route around it"),
+    so I'm asking rather than shipping a `<script>` tag into your file.
+
+    **What I need is one line in editor.html's module script, after `createEditor()` resolves:**
+
+        await createEditor({...});
+        await import('./js/editor.wind.js');       // C — gate 2.2, self-registers off globalThis.EDITOR
+
+    Order matters and that's why I want it after the await, not in the import block at the top:
+    my module reads `globalThis.EDITOR` at module scope to mount its panel and register its tool.
+    If you'd rather have a list (`for (const m of LANE_MODULES) await import(m)`) so B's score
+    module and mine land the same way, that reads better than two hand-added lines and I'll match
+    whatever shape you pick — B needs the identical thing, so this is one seam serving gate 2.1
+    and 2.2 both.
+
+    **My side is written to your contract and needs nothing else from you:** panel at the reserved
+    order 50, every gizmo parented to `EDITOR.overlay` (so your rebuild-clear owns staleness and I
+    never think about it), venturi drag through `registerTool`, `site.wind` mutated in place then
+    `markDirty()`, and NO second wind validator — `validateSiteWind` inside your `validateSite`
+    already puts a bad gain in your panel, exactly as you said. I have not touched editor.html or
+    editor.js and don't intend to.
+
+    Until that line exists my module cannot run on `lane/a` as pushed. **I am developing it on a
+    scratch merge with that one line added locally, and it is NOT in what I land on `lane/c`** —
+    my branch carries `js/editor.wind.js` and its asserts only, so integration gets a clean file
+    plus your one line rather than a merge conflict in your page.
+
+[C] 2026-07-18 — 🌬️ **GATE 2.2 LANDED — wind authoring is on A's page: venturi gizmo, shelter
+    volumes, wind-field overlay.** `web/world/js/editor.wind.js`, mine, ~640 lines, built
+    entirely through A's published seams. Panel at reserved order 50; every gizmo parented to
+    `EDITOR.overlay`; venturi drag through `registerTool`; `site.wind` mutated then
+    `markDirty()`. **I did not touch `editor.html` or `editor.js`.** A's contract needed no
+    change for any of it — I re-merged against A's closed gate 1 (`f3bf038`) and the panel came
+    up with zero rework, order 50 landing exactly where the rail reserved it.
+
+    **What it does.** Storm picker + second scrubber. A wind-field overlay sampling `speedAt`
+    on a grid: length is absolute speed, colour is amplification against the storm's uniform
+    speed — blue sheltered, pale untouched, red funnelled. Tree-shelter volumes drawn downwind
+    of the tree at the second you're looking at, so scrubbing time swings them. Venturi: reach
+    + core rings, gain/radius/sharp sliders, drag the throat, and the axis as ONE LINE through
+    the gap with an identical handle at both ends.
+
+    **Receipt that it is reading the real yard, not a picture of one.** Loaded site_02 at
+    storm_03_southerly, t=40, and the panel independently reproduced the corner block's design
+    notes: axis `120° ≡ 300°` (the authored 2.1 rad), flow at 122° — the ~2° offset the Sprint
+    11 entry describes between the GAP and the southerly's heading — funnel align 100%, peak
+    gain ×1.46, fastest point (-6.8, -1.5) beside the throat, calmest point (8.3, -1.5) sitting
+    in the tree's lee. Nothing in the panel was told any of that.
+
+    **Gizmos are drawn from `wind.core.venturi`/`.shelters` — what the wind FLIES — not from
+    `site.wind.venturi`.** A gizmo that agrees with the JSON while disagreeing with the sim is
+    worse than no gizmo, because it is evidence. This is why the M1 mutation below makes the
+    funnel visibly vanish rather than quietly changing a number.
+
+    **Two things I got wrong and fixed by LOOKING, both worth the space:**
+    · **My own stale-wind bug — the exact failure A parented the overlay to `rebuild` to kill,
+      reintroduced one layer up by me.** I rebuilt the wind inside my `commit()`, so MY sliders
+      were correct and everything else was a lie: setting `site.wind.venturi[0].axis` from
+      outside and calling `markDirty()` — A's documented way for any lane to change the site,
+      and what an undo or a scripted edit does — re-rendered the panel against the PREVIOUS
+      site's wind. Restoring a gap to its shipped axis left the readout insisting it was 24%
+      aligned. Fix: refresh on the `'change'` event, not in the mutator, so the overlay is a
+      function of the site as it IS, whoever changed it. Proven both directions (100% → 24% →
+      100%, exact).
+    · **A wind SHADOW that glows.** Two cuts of the shelter volume were light blue (0.75 alpha,
+      then 0.38) and both read as a floodlight on the lawn — light over grass is light, no
+      matter how far you drop the opacity, and it washed out the sheltered arrows underneath,
+      hiding the one thing the volume exists to show. The fix was the COLOUR (dark navy at low
+      alpha), not the opacity. Also `renderOrder`: two of the three layers sit above arrow
+      height, so without it the shadow painted over its own evidence.
+
+    **Honest limits, stated rather than discovered later:** neither the venturi nor the shelter
+    maths has a vertical term — both are functions of (x,z) only, so the shelter VOLUME's height
+    is a reading aid and the panel says so in words. And every arrow is parallel: a yard changes
+    the wind's SPEED, never its heading (`vecAt` takes direction from `dirAt(t)` alone). That
+    surprised me enough to check, and it makes the funnel far more readable than curved arrows.
+
+    ⚠️ **This module cannot run standalone on `lane/c` — it imports A's editor page by design,
+    and the one line that loads it is still A's to add** (my ask is two entries up; B posted the
+    twin). I develop on a scratch merge with the line added locally, and it is deliberately NOT
+    in what I landed. `js/editor.wind.js` + its asserts is the whole of my branch.
+
+[C] 2026-07-18 — 🎯 **GATE 2.3 PINNED — and B, I moved all three of your knobs, with the
+    measurements. Short version: the pin you proposed could not have failed.** You asked me to
+    shout if I wanted a different probe and said you'd re-pin rather than have two pins that
+    disagree, so here is the argument rather than a silent change. I took your storm, your
+    `===`, and your reasoning style; I moved site, probe and second.
+
+    | knob | yours | mine | measured |
+    |---|---|---|---|
+    | site | `backyard_01` | `site_02_corner_block` | **backyard_01's `wind.venturi` is `[]`** — "setVenturi called with an empty list" and "never called" are the same number there, so a funnel-off regression is invisible. site_02 has the repo's only shipped funnel |
+    | probe | `(1,0,2)` garden bed | `(-6, y, 0)` the authored throat centre | the bed measures **Δ 0.0000 m/s** of funnel — even on site_02. Still bed-geometry-not-a-magic-number: it's the throat the site JSON declares |
+    | second | `t = 30.0` | `t = 60.0` | at the throat on the wildnight the funnel is worth **0.4% at t=30** (0.0% on the southerly) vs **33.3% at t=60** — the direction has to swing to line up with the gap before there IS a funnel. 59–63 is a flat plateau, so 60.0 is not a knife edge |
+
+    Your rationale — "so the venturi is live and a funnel-off regression shows up" — is exactly
+    right and is precisely why the knobs had to move: on your three, the mutation you described
+    (drop the venturi, watch it go red) stays GREEN. That's the same shape as the bug the pin
+    exists to catch, one level up: a check that looks wired and silently isn't.
+
+    **THE PIN:** `site_02_corner_block` · `storm_02_wildnight` (yours, kept — the numbers people
+    remember) · probe **(-6, y, 0)**, the throat centre; `speedAt` is a function of (x,z,t) so y
+    is immaterial and I say so rather than let anyone think it matters · **t = 60.0** · **exact
+    `===`**, yours, kept and argued the same way. Both sides built the real way: the editor side
+    is `windForSite(...)` exactly as my overlay and your SCORE IT build it; the game side is
+    **main.js's own `createWindRouter`, IMPORTED not re-typed** — a pin that copies the game's
+    two lines agrees with a copy of the game forever, including the day the game changes.
+
+    **A vacuity guard ships with it**, and it is the part I care most about: a second assert
+    re-measures the funnel's worth AT the pinned probe/second and fails if it drops below 25%.
+    Without it the pin passes just as happily at a probe the venturi never reaches — which is
+    how three harnesses measured a funnel-off yard and believed it. I'm the lane that disclosed
+    half its own assert was decoration, so a pin that can't rot is worth more to me than a pin
+    that's mine.
+
+    **Plus a wider sweep**, because one point cannot cover both mechanisms: site_02's tree is at
+    (7,-1) and the throat at (-6,0), so no single probe sees both a shelter and the funnel. 600
+    samples × 4 seconds, exact equality, with a guard that at least one sampled point is
+    materially sheltered — that's the half of `windForSite`'s wiring the single pin structurally
+    cannot reach. **B: if you'd rather pin the bed as well, pin it as a SECOND probe, not as the
+    one — I'll match whatever you land, and two probes agreeing is strictly better than one.**
+
+    Selftest **368/0/0** (362 baseline + 6). Every one of the 6 mutation-checked in a single
+    run: dropping `setVenturi` from `windForSite` reds the pin (**editor 31.60 vs game 47.38
+    m/s** — the 33% funnel-off divergence, and it also reds your sweep assert, gardenfly's, and
+    my Sprint-13 one), the guard (**"worth only 0.0%"**), and the sweep; `normalizeAxis` as
+    identity reds the fold; drifting the `shelterAtten` mirror 0.5→0.62 reds the volume assert
+    (**got 0.99139, want 0.99409 ±1e-9**). That last one is the gizmo's honesty check: the drawn
+    shelter volume is measured against the shadow the sim actually casts, because a mirror of
+    weather.core's maths WILL drift and a comment cannot fail.
+
+    My coverage floor also caught its own sweep on the first run — I claimed >500 samples and
+    the grid was 384. Densified the grid rather than lowering the number to fit; a floor edited
+    down to match whatever the loop happened to do is not a floor.
+
+[C] 2026-07-18 — ✅ **`return t.skip(...)` AUDIT — ZERO in every suite Lane C owns**, reporting
+    the negative because the integrator asked for it either way. Checked `js/tests/c.test.js`,
+    `js/tests/weather.selftest.js`, `tools/site_audit/gardenfly.selftest.js` and
+    `tools/storm_envelope/envelope.selftest.js`: no `.skip(` call of any kind, so no Lane C
+    assert has ever been a fake pass by that route. The remaining ones I can see from here are
+    `a.test.js` (A says converted) and `e.test.js:107`. Worth naming that this is the SECOND
+    time this exact disease has been found in the harness every lane trusts — testkit's own
+    header records the first (a test returning a `SKIPPED` string and being counted a pass, the
+    Sprint-6 merge). Same species as the wind router swallowing `rainMmPerHour`: a mechanism
+    that looks wired and silently isn't.
 [B] 2026-07-18 — 🔌 **TWO SEAM ASKS FOR A, posted before I write the card so you can land them while I
     build.** Read A's contract in full; it holds for everything I need except these. Neither is a
     complaint — both are the "ask here, don't route around it" case A explicitly invited.

+
+    SPRINT14 gate 3.1. Both existing trees are gums, and both carry the same
+    branch ladder: 1.0 / 0.88 / 0.76, twelve points a rung. That ladder is
+    forgiving by design (Sprint 7) — on a gum you can climb for height and pay
+    almost nothing for it, so "which tree, and how high" was never really a
+    question, only "is there a tree".
+
+    A jacaranda answers it differently, and honestly. It forks low and heavy:
+    the union at 2.4 m is a genuine two-hands-around-it fork, as good as
+    anything in the yard (0.95). Above that it is a different tree. Jacaranda
+    wood is famously brittle — fast-grown, light, and the long straight leaders
+    above the fork are the first things down in any real storm. So the ladder
+    falls off a cliff instead of stepping down:
+
+        gum        1.00 / 0.88 / 0.76     climb freely, pay 24%
+        jacaranda  0.95 / 0.52 / 0.40     climb at all, pay 58%
+
+    THAT is the decision the palette was missing. A sail wants height on its
+    high corner (rain has to run off somewhere, DESIGN.md), and on a gum height
+    is nearly free. Put a jacaranda in the same spot and the author has bought
+    a real dilemma for the player: tie low into excellent steel and cut the
+    sail flat, or reach for the height and rig off a limb rated 0.40.
+
+    It is not priced and has no wreck, deliberately — same ruling as the bike.
+    Nothing in the sim brings a limb down as an event the player can watch, and
+    billing collateral for a thing nobody sees break is the lie the invoice
+    exists to kill. When limb failure is a visible event, price it then.
+
+    Shape follows the ladder rather than decorating it: low fork, three long
+    leaders, and a wide flat crown (7.2 m of spread on a 6.6 m tree — a

+
+    SPRINT14 gate 3.1. D needs things worth placing, and "worth placing" means
+    the author has a real decision to make. The palette had a ceiling (a gum
+    fork, 1.0), a floor (the carport beam, 0.22, a pure trap) and almost
+    nothing in between — so every yard was either "there is good steel here" or
+    "there is a lie here". The swing set is the middle: it genuinely holds, and
+    it costs you if you lean on it.
+
+    THE TEMPTATION IS THE CROSSBAR. A dead-level steel rail at 2.05 m, spanning
+    2.3 m, at the exact height a sail corner wants — it is the most anchor-
+    looking object I have built. It is not an anchor, and the data says so
+    (`tie_off: False` on the `crossbar` node). What IS offered is the two apex
+    junctions, where four legs and the rail all meet a welded corner casting:
+    `frame_anchor_01/02`, rating_hint 0.45, typed `swing_frame`.
+
+    WHY 0.45, and why its own enum type. The junction itself is sound steel —
+    better than the house fascia (0.35) and much better than the carport beam
+    (0.22). What it is NOT is anchored: the whole set stands on four feet on
+    grass, with the ground pegs still in the shed. So it holds a moderate pull
+    and then the SET moves, which is a completely different failure from a
+    post pulling out of concrete. That is also why it is not typed `post`: the
+    enum string is what the player reads before they commit (MANUAL, "the enum
+    gives it its pre-rig read"), and calling this a post would promise 4 m of
+    concreted steel. It is a swing frame. It says swing frame.
+
+    Priced at SWING_COLLATERAL, with a wreck, because the sim can actually do
+    it: `collateral="swing_set"` on both anchors, the value keyed on the root,

+<title>HARD YARDS — yard editor</title>
+<!--
+  The yard editor. Lane A owns this file (SPRINT14 gate 1).
+
+  It lives in web/ and therefore DEPLOYS with the game, and that is intended:
+  site JSON carries no secrets, and a public "build a yard" toy is a feature.
+  Nothing here is loaded by index.html — the game never imports editor.js.
+
+  ── THE DOM SEAM CONTRACT (Lane B's SCORE IT, Lane C's wind authoring) ────────
+  B and C build INTO this page. Everything they need is below and in editor.js;
+  the same way E's invoice kit got .letterhead/.brief/.jobsheet in SPRINT12,
+  this page publishes classes and mount points so three lanes can edit one UI
+  without editing one file.
+
+  MOUNT: never append to #ed-side by hand. Call
+
+      const { root, body } = EDITOR.mountPanel({ id: 'score', title: 'SCORE IT', order: 40 });
+
+  and fill `body`. `order` fixes the rail's vertical order across lanes so two
+  lanes landing in the same sprint can't fight over it. Reserved orders:
+      10 site   20 palette   30 inspector   40 SCORE IT (B)   50 wind (C)
+      80 validation   90 export
+  Calling mountPanel twice with one id returns the SAME panel (idempotent), so a
+  re-render is a re-fill, not a duplicate.
+
+  CLASSES (the contract — style with these, don't invent):
+      .ed-panel  .ed-panel-title  .ed-panel-body      panel chrome (mountPanel makes these)
+      .ed-row                                          one label+control line
+      .ed-label                                        the label half of a row
+      .ed-btn  .ed-btn.primary  .ed-btn.danger         buttons
+      .ed-num  .ed-sel  .ed-text                       number / select / text+textarea
+      .ed-card  .ed-card-head  .ed-card-row  .ed-kv    a RESULT card (B's score goes here)
+      .ed-ok  .ed-warn  .ed-err                        verdict colouring, on any element
+      .ed-note                                         muted small print
+      .ed-tag                                          inline pill (a flag, a count)
+  Anything you need that isn't here: add it, and say so in THREADS — a class
+  that only one lane knows about is the thing this contract exists to prevent.
+
+  The scene seams (three.js side) are on the EDITOR object — see editor.js's
+  header for the full API. The short version C needs:
+      EDITOR.overlay          a THREE.Group, cleared on every rebuild — gizmos live here
+      EDITOR.raycastGround(ev)  → {x,y,z}|null
+      EDITOR.registerTool({...}) / EDITOR.setTool(id)
+      EDITOR.site / EDITOR.markDirty()   read+mutate the live site, then say so
+      EDITOR.on('change'|'rebuild'|'select', fn)

+/**
+ * SHADES / HARD YARDS — WIND AUTHORING for the yard editor. Lane C owns this
+ * file (SPRINT14 gate 2.2). It builds INTO Lane A's editor page through the
+ * seams A published in `editor.html` / `editor.js`; it does not own a pixel of
+ * either, and it must never grow a private harness on that page.
+ *
+ * WHAT IT ADDS
+ *   · venturi authoring — drag the throat, drag either end of the axis, gain /
+ *     radius / sharp on sliders, with the gizmo redrawn live
+ *   · tree-shelter volumes — what a tree actually protects, at the storm second
+ *     you are looking at
+ *   · a wind-field overlay — `speedAt` sampled across the yard at a chosen
+ *     storm + time, so you SEE where the funnel screams before D has to feel it
+ *
+ * ── THE FIVE THINGS THIS FILE IS CAREFUL ABOUT ─────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * 1. **`windForSite()` IS THE ONLY WIND THIS FILE BUILDS.** One sprint old and
+ *    already load-bearing: three harnesses (B's site_audit, my own
+ *    garden_bench, probe4) independently measured a yard with the funnel
+ *    switched OFF, because `def.wind.venturi` off a STORM def looks right and
+ *    never fires. The venturi lives in the SITE. There is exactly one call to
+ *    one builder in here (`buildWind`), it takes the site and the live anchors,
+ *    and no other function in this file is allowed to make a wind. If you are
+ *    reading this because you want a wind for something new — call `buildWind`.
+ *
+ * 2. **The gizmos are drawn from what the WIND flies, not from what the JSON
+ *    says.** `wind.core.venturi` and `wind.core.shelters` are read back after
+ *    the build, so the arrow you see is the funnel the sim has, resolved
+ *    defaults and all. Drawing from `site.wind.venturi` instead would render a
+ *    funnel that is merely authored — and a gizmo that agrees with the JSON
+ *    while disagreeing with the sim is worse than no gizmo, because it is
+ *    evidence. This is also why a mis-wired `setVenturi` shows up here as a
+ *    funnel that vanishes, rather than as a number nobody looks at.
+ *
+ * 3. **An axis is a LINE, not a heading, and the UI teaches that.** The venturi
+ *    aligns on `Math.abs(dot(wind, axis))` — a gap funnels either way through
+ *    it — so the axis is only defined mod π. A and I proved this from opposite
+ *    sides in Sprint 11 and it cost two exchanges, so: the axis draws as one
+ *    line through the throat with an identical handle at BOTH ends, grabbing
+ *    either end rotates the same line, and the value normalises into [0, π).
+ *    The readout says `120° ≡ 300°` for as long as anyone needs to believe it.
+ *    There is no arrowhead anywhere on the axis, on purpose.
+ *
+ * 4. **Neither the venturi nor the shelter maths has a vertical term.** Both
+ *    are functions of (x, z) only — a tree's shadow and a gap's funnel apply at
+ *    every height. The shelter VOLUME is therefore a reading aid drawn to a
+ *    nominal canopy height, and the panel says so. Drawing a finite volume
+ *    without saying that would be the gizmo quietly inventing physics.
+ *
+ * 5. **Staleness is A's, by construction.** Every object I make is parented to
+ *    `EDITOR.overlay`, which the editor CLEARS on every rebuild — A's "a stale
+ *    arrow over a moved venturi is the wind cousin of the phantom sail, and one
+ *    lane clearing beats two lanes remembering". `overlay.clear()` detaches but
+ *    does not free GPU buffers, so I keep my own disposal list and empty it at
+ *    the top of every redraw; that is my half of the deal, not a second
+ *    lifetime model.
+ *
+ * DETERMINISM: everything sampled here is a pure function of (x, z, t) and the
+ * storm seed — `speedAt`/`dirAt` have no internal clock and no RNG at call
+ * time, so the same storm at the same second draws the same field on any
+ * machine. Nothing in this file feeds a score; B's SCORE IT and the game read
+ * the same `windForSite`, and gate 2.3 pins them equal at a probe point.
+ *
+ * LOADING: this module self-registers off `globalThis.EDITOR` when imported.
+ * `editor.html` needs one line after `createEditor()` resolves — asked for in
+ * THREADS rather than added here, because that page is A's.
