 - **v3.1 preview (do not start):** flag-default flip (if John rules it), town-wide lamp pools,
   tram-gig composition (ride to the gig), wind sway, bench-sit loiter from the same `sit` clip.
-- **John — three items:**
-  1. **The push.** The R13 epoch (7 commits + `v3.0-beta`) and everything R14 lands are **local
-     only**. F is ready to `git push origin main` + tags on your word — it's the one
-     outward-facing step every lane held.
-  2. **Flag default at v3.0**: Fable's call is `?gigs=1` stays **opt-in** for the tag (prime-flag
-     discipline through release; flip considered at v3.1 after the soak bakes). Overrule if you
-     want the district on by default at v3.0 — that becomes an F task with a full golden re-pin,
-     and it goes FIRST in the round, not last.
-  3. **Genre re-flavour** (carried from R13, names-only, A+E coordinated): defaults
-     pubrock/grunge/covers stand unless you say otherwise — last call before the docs freeze.
+- **John — all three items RESOLVED at kickoff (2026-07-16):**
+  1. **The push — DONE.** John OK'd it; Fable pushed `main` (R13 epoch + these instructions) and
+     the `v3.0-beta` tag to origin at kickoff. Release tags only, as ever — lane-round tags stay
+     local. Push discipline unchanged for lanes: commit local, F/Fable pushes at round end.
+  2. **Flag default at v3.0 — RULED (John concurs):** `?gigs=1` stays **opt-in** for the tag;
+     default-flip is a v3.1 candidate after the soak bakes. No golden re-pin this round.
+  3. **Genre re-flavour — CLOSED:** John: "fine for now." pubrock/grunge/covers are final for
+     v3.0; the docs freeze proceeds on those names.
