+# PROCITY — Round 10 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-15 · Written after round-9 review. **v2.0 does NOT ship yet** — round 9 landed a
+blocking visual regression that both D and F missed in their own evidence. Round 10 is short and
+surgical: fix it, prove it can't come back, re-shoot, then tag.
+
+## Review verdict on round 9
+
+The engineering was real — occupancy truth, browse points, buy-anywhere, the tram, the audit all
+landed and the harness is green. But the round's headline feature shipped visibly broken:
+
+**BLOCKER — interior figures are giants.** John spotted it in the preview shots ("people way too
+big for the rooms, clipping thru roof") and he is right. Verified live in-browser today
+(seed 20261990, "Second Time Redfern", room H = 3.4 m):
+
+- keeper head bone at **world Y = 3.83 m** — a ~3.8 m person; `keepers.js` requested 1.58–1.92 m
+- `buildFigure` (rigs.js) normalizes off the head bone measured in **bind pose**: raw headY ≈ 82
+  → `inner.scale = 0.0213`. But once the idle clip poses the skeleton, the head sits at raw ≈ 180.
+  The bind-pose measurement underestimates the animated rig by ~2.2× → every interior rig is ~2×
+  room scale. The clip filter is NOT the cause (verified: idleClip has zero `.position` tracks).
+- Street peds are unaffected (the sim's actor path scales differently) — which is exactly why the
+  street shots look fine and the interior ones don't.
+- Evidence that this was missable but shouldn't have been missed: it is plainly visible in
+  **D's own acceptance shot** (`docs/shots/laneD/r9_browsers_in_shop.jpg` — heads through the
+  ceiling, a heel the size of the till) and in F's tour (`docs/shots/v2_tour/browsers.png`), which
+  F captioned "framing's a bit close". Compare `docs/shots/v1_tour/record_interior.png` — the v1
+  keeper was correct. The regression window is the R9 interior-presence work.
+
+Consequences: local `v2.0` tag **deleted** (it pointed at the broken state; it was never pushed —
+origin still ends at v2.0-rc). main IS pushed, so lanes work from a synced tree. F re-tags after
+the fix lands.
+
+## Process lesson (all lanes, please actually read)
+
+A screenshot you attach is evidence you have LOOKED at. "Documents the feature" is not a review.
+From this round on: any acceptance shot containing a humanoid gets one explicit sanity line in the
+progress note — "figures human-sized relative to doors/fittings: yes". Ten seconds. The v1-vs-R9
+comparison above is what it catches.
+
+## Lane D — the fix (lead, blocking)
+
+1. Fix interior rig scale in `rigs.js` `buildFigure` (or the `keepers.js` call into it): normalize
+   **pose-aware** — bind the idle clip, `mixer.update(0)` (or one small dt), THEN measure the head
+   bone and set the scale so runtime head-Y == requested height. Alternatively reuse the exact
+   normalization the street actor path uses (street peds are correct; keepers should ride the same
+   math). Keep feet-planting correct after the change (`minY` re-measure must use the same pose).
+2. Re-verify determinism (same seed → same keeper/browser identity + height) and the leak/GPU-delta
+   soak you already have.
+3. **Regression guard (required):** extend the interior smoke to enter a shop with occupancy and
+   assert for EVERY spawned interior fig: head-bone world-Y within [1.4, 2.0] AND < room `dims.H`.
+   Wire it into `tools/qa.sh` strict so a giant can never pass a gate again.
+4. Re-shoot `laneD/r9_browsers_in_shop.jpg` → `laneD/r10_browsers_fixed.jpg`, and write the
+   sanity line.
+
+## Lane F — verify, re-shoot, ship (after D lands)
+
+1. Pull D's fix, re-run the interior-presence smoke + the new scale gate; `qa.sh --strict` green.
+2. **Re-shoot the tour shots containing interior figures**: `browsers.png` at minimum. Also re-shoot
+   `night_crowd.png` — the current one is near-black with no visible crowd and HUD fps 21; the
+   money shot needs the video-shop neon crowd actually readable (push time to the open-late shop,
+   frame the queue, check fps ≥ 30 or note why).
+3. Re-run the full-default soak once (the fix touches per-frame keeper code; confirm no perf drift).
+4. Docs freeze addendum: one paragraph in the release notes on the R10 fix.
+5. **Tag `v2.0` on the fixed commit** (fresh annotated tag), push main + tags. This closes v2.0.
+6. Update the tour README so shot filenames stay stable for the v3 site.
+
+## Lanes A / B / C / E — on call only
+
+Nothing blocking from you this round. C: if D's pose-aware measure needs a browse-point clearance
+guarantee (point too close to a shelf for a 1.9 m fig), answer quickly; otherwise all four lanes
+stand by for v3 planning. B's tram and E's audit are accepted as shipped.
+
+## Standing items
+
+- **Audio: fourth round parked.** John — one line unblocks it: "generate freely" / "use library X"
+  / "skip for v2". Until then it stays out of scope.
+- After `v2.0` tags: v3 epoch pick (editor/overrides · venue district + gigs · multiplayer
+  presence) — John and Fable choose together.
