 # LANE B — NOTES (measured)
 
+## Round 4 (Fable's ROUND4 → Lane B) — done
+
+- **B1 — closed-facade visuals (§3.5, the headline).** Closed shops now render **dark windows + a
+  red CLOSED plate**; open shops (esp. the one `openLate` **video rental** at night) render **lit
+  windows**; the door tooltip reads `🔒 <name> — CLOSED · opens HH:00` on aim. **Batched — the facade
+  atlas is untouched:** per-shop open/closed rides on a per-vertex `aHours` (vec2 = the shop's
+  `[open,close]`) feeding TWO shared shaders (window emissive gated by *open AND night*; plate alpha
+  gated by *closed*), driven by ONE pair of shared uniforms (`uHour/uNight`) updated **once per
+  day-segment change** — no per-shop materials, no per-frame poll. lighting.js dispatches a
+  `procity:segment` event (numeric hour matching Lane F's `currentHour()`); buildings.js listens and
+  calls `setFacadeHours`. Verified live: **22:00 → only "Video Regal" lit, every other facade CLOSED**;
+  midday → all open, no plates; tooltip correct. **Worst view with citizens: 200 total draws** (≤300).
+- **B2 — shot harness (gate-6).** (a) **Letterbox "fixed":** the bars were **not** a composer bug (I
+  proved the composer/renderer/camera are correctly 1280×720 in headless at every stage) — they were
+  `street_noon`/`arcade`/`warehouse_fringe` poses **jamming the camera against a big building wall**.
+  Reframed those bookmarks to look *down a street* (`streetViewPose`), so all 10 tour shots now fill
+  the frame. Also added a defensive `composer.setSize` sync in `DBG.render` per F's request. (b) Added
+  the **3 missing poses** F listed (`crossroads_busy`, `residential_collar`, `warehouse_fringe`) —
+  resolved from the live plan (busiest node / house-or-backstreets lot / outer-ring street), always a
+  valid full-frame pose. `night_neon` now frames the open video shop glowing amid its CLOSED
+  neighbours (the §3.5 money shot). `tools/shots.py` → 10 un-letterboxed shots, **0 console errors**.
+- **B3 — street-furniture GLB upgrade + `novelty_record`.** furniture.js now upgrades primitives to
+  depot GLBs via a **synchronous use-if-ready** check at chunk-build (no async write into a live
+  chunk; `?noassets` → primitives, **0 network** verified). Placed the **novelty_record** landmark on
+  the footpath in front of every record store (and a food_cart by market stalls / milk bars).
+  **⚠ measured GLB tris:** bench **1.9k** ✓, food_cart **5.0k** ✓, streetlight **5.0k** ✓, but
+  **novelty_record is 26.5k** (5× the ≤5k `glb_law`) — × many instances it spiked the busiest view to
+  **574k tris**. So novelty_record stays on its **low-poly primitive** (giant vinyl disc, budget-safe)
+  until Lane E decimates the GLB — **same treatment the ped rigs need (→ Lane E)**. With that, the
+  bench GLB verified sitting on its exact footprint (0.44×1.21), tris back to ~25k.
