 ## Standing
 
-- **John — one decision + one authorization:**
-  1. **v4 headline** (decide by R18, not needed for this round): Fable recommends **THE REAL MAP**
-     (real AU towns through the existing plan contract). Alternatives: the in-game editor +
-     override layer, or multiplayer presence. R17's scout gives you a real town booted in the
-     engine to judge by — say the word at R18 kickoff.
-  2. **Overpass fetch OK** (this round, blocks E's ledger #6): the scout hits the public Overpass
-     API a handful of times (once per town, cached raw thereafter) — outward-facing network, so
-     flag it now: silence = OK, veto before E starts if not.
+- **John — both items RESOLVED at kickoff (2026-07-16):**
+  1. **v4 headline — DECIDED: THE REAL MAP.** John chose it at kickoff. R17's scout is therefore
+     not speculative — it's the v4.0 groundwork; the full charter lands with the R18 instructions.
+  2. **Overpass fetch — AUTHORIZED.** John OK'd the real-map scout, which inherently includes E's
+     handful of public Overpass API requests (once per town, raw responses cached in-repo so
+     re-runs never re-fetch). E: proceed; keep the ODbL attribution discipline.
 - **v3.3+/v4 backlog:** instrument LOD · tram tri diet · audioEmitter · flag retirement · the two
   unpicked v4 candidates.
