-Still in flight this round: C2 map glass_case/magazine_rack/crate_stack.
+**C2 — map the 3 orphaned fittings** (published R5, unconsumed). In `glb.js`: `glassCase→glass_case`,
+`magazineRack→magazine_rack`, and a NEW `crateStack` primitive (stack of crates) → `crate_stack`.
+Recipe placements: crateStack in record + opshop (back-room dressing), glassCase added to milkbar,
+magazineRack added to pawn (+ moved milkbar's magazineRack window→wall to dodge the door-counter).
+Also **fixed `placeNearCounter`** — it picked one random side and gave up, so counter-zone fittings
+(the glass case) rarely landed; now it tries both sides + offsets, then falls back to a free aisle spot.
+All 3 load + render planted/scaled/facing right (yaw 0). Appearance: glassCase **12/12** (toy/pawn/milkbar),
+magazineRack **12/12** (milkbar/pawn), crateStack ~11/12 (record/opshop). Contact sheet:
+[glb_orphans_r6.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/glb_orphans_r6.jpg). drawSweep still ≤350 with them on (worst 177
+GLB-on). **C3**: dig soak re-run after batching + new fittings — riffle works on batched bins, leak-free.

+**Round 6 complete for Lane C**: C1 (batching, `35981ad`) + C2/C3 (orphans + dig re-verify) committed.
+Draw law satisfied (≤313 was the tightest; ≤177 after C2), determinism/leak/dig all green, qa strict green.
