+**RESOLVED (wave 2.5, Fable's ruling, D's fix — `2fd4c1c`, LANE_D_NOTES §36): CLASSIC KEEPS
+ITS PEOPLE.** `PED_NAMES.normal` restored to the covenanted base 17 (exact pre-July-20 list);
+the five moved to `PED_NAMES.djs`, admitted by a new `loadPedFleet` opt **`djs = dance`** — the
+default tracks the existing dance flag, which the shell already passes as `!CLASSIC`, so the
+gate arrived with ZERO shell edits and the five append AFTER the base 17 (no slot renumbers in
+either mode). D's measurement: classic **0/5 DJ fetches, 17-pool, 129-citizen census
+byte-identical to a `b339402^` shadow tree** (the SAME crowd, ped for ped, not merely the same
+width); default keeps all 22 (37 DJ-bodied street peds) and F's organic gig-crowd proof
+(dj_phrtt_01 + woman_dj_02 in the pinned seed's venue crew) is preserved. F's re-gate on the
+true final tree: the `smoke_djdance` warn line flipped to **"✓ ?classic=1: zero DJ-body
+fetches"** — flags harness **0 fails / 0 warns**, and the DJ-body figure-scale leg still green
+(the five spawn on the default boot exactly as before). The hold cost one extra wave and
+nothing else — held rather than improvised, ruled by the party that owns the covenant, fixed by
+the lane that owns the file, re-proven by the gate that held it.
