5d29863b78 Lane A round 20: absorb E's density widening — capacity, pub facade bias, goldens pinned (ledger #2)
E's five caches landed at 3-6x shops (292 total: katoomba 20→80, fremantle 21→80, newtown 18→72,
bendigo 9→36, castlemaine 6→24). All five absorb cleanly and still place 3 venues; the R20 poster cap
auto-scaled off the live shop count exactly as designed (katoomba 111 posters at 80 shops).

- CAPACITY WIDENED (the R18 overflow fence, load-tested). At 4x the dominant drop cause was OVERFLOW —
  an edge-side holding more shops than fit (katoomba 10 of 11 drops). Tightened the run: NODE_CLEAR 6→3
  and a ROADS-ONLY RGAP 2→0.5 (the shared marched GAP is untouched ⇒ marched fixtures stay frozen).
  Drops 7.9% → 5.5% (16/292). 0.5m also reads truer — a real AU main street is continuous terrace
  shopfronts, not detached boxes. Stopped there deliberately: the next lever (spilling overflow onto a
  DIFFERENT street) buys ~1% by putting a shop on a road it isn't on — dropping a crowded shop is the
  honest trade. Residual drops stay COUNTED, now BY CAUSE (dropped_overflow/_overlap/_stranded).
- VENUE FACADE BIAS NOW COVERS pub. R16 exempted pub ('spine-fronted, +Z always open') — true on the
  synthetic/marched towns, but on a REAL graph at density the pub landed where its frontage poster
  overhung a cross street (newtown, -0.91m). The POSTER_CLEAR filter now covers every venue kind; still a
  NO-OP on synthetic (every pub candidate already clears) ⇒ gig golden 0xb1d48ea1 frozen.
- Goldens re-pinned ONCE (base + gig, all five towns). classic 0x3fa36874 / gig 0xb1d48ea1 / marched
  fixtures FROZEN. selfcheck ALL GREEN 51866/51866; scaffold + consistency GREEN; cross-process
  deterministic.
- Fixed: my real-cache loader globbed *.json and tried to validate E's new index.json as a town cache —
  it now skips it (that's B's selector index, not a cache).

Handshake → all: densities absorbed, goldens pinned. → F: re-measure venue_night + gate the five towns.

94e56ed5fa Lane B round 20 (v4.0-beta): the tram ruling — route by shop adjacency + per-town fence (ledger #3/#4)
Verified fresh Chromium across 9 town configs (synthetic, 3 fixtures, 5 real).

TRAM RULING (ledger #3): spinePolyline now walks from each main-subgraph dead-end, greedily taking the
unused main edge fronting the most shops (lot.frontEdge), keeping the best-scoring path (ties -> longer).
SYNTHETIC + FIXTURES BYTE-IDENTICAL by construction AND measurement (a synthetic main node has <=2 mains so
there's never a choice; its two dead-ends tie exactly and strict > keeps the pre-R20 start). Old vs new
logic on the same plan = identical polylines (Boolarra: 7 pts, 6 edges, 810m, 172 shops, 2 stops).

The alpha tram fronted 0 shops on 4 of 5 real towns (it was a highway bus). New: katoomba 0->3, newtown
0->8, fremantle 0->2, bendigo 0->1, castlemaine 1->6. Where the best main chain still fronts <5 shops the
tram is FENCED per-town (Fable's fallback). RUNS: synthetic, all fixtures, newtown (8 shops/1924m/16 stops),
castlemaine (6/2184m/10 stops). FENCED: katoomba (3), fremantle (2), bendigo (1) -- highway, not high street.
The fence keys off the REAL-ROADS signal (edges>200), NEVER shop count alone: the marched fixtures front 0
shops on their mains (bare spine, avenues carry shops) so a naive fence would have killed their v2 tram.
routeInfo{fenced,reason,shopsFronted,routeMetres} exposed for F's smoke.

BUG FOUND+FIXED: the stop projection accepted every shelter in the town with no distance gate -- harmless on
synthetic (2 shelters on the spine), nonsense on real graphs: Newtown made 149 phantom stops (~9 min of dwell
at points the tram never passes). Added a 30m gate (a shelter sits halfRoad+1.7 <=~16m off its centreline, so
genuine stops survive): newtown 149->16, castlemaine 37->10; synthetic 2 / fixtures 3 unchanged.

GROUND POLISH (ledger #4): measured, NO fix needed. Real Katoomba has 325 deg-3+ junctions, 28 under 30 deg,
worst 4.3 deg (near-parallel). At grazing eye level the worst reads clean -- no z-fight, no gaps. Layers are
already y-separated (road 0.0/foot 0.02/kerb 0.06) and road-on-road overlap is invisible by design (OVERLAP=1.5
overruns nodes on purpose; one skin, one y, one merged draw on uniform asphalt). Cosmetic only: footpath/kerb
double up on the sliver between <10deg near-parallel roads -- v4.0 candidate, not a defect.

Selector polish (ledger #5): BLOCKED -- E's towns/index.json not landed (build_towns.py WIP); REAL_TOWNS
hardcode stands, one-line swap when E lands.

-> A (finding, measured): only a slice of shops front a MAIN edge on real towns -- katoomba 7/69, fremantle
   4/79, bendigo 7/35, newtown 32/64, castlemaine 11/22. The real high street classifies as 'side', which is
   WHY three towns need the fence. If the main/side classifier promoted shop-dense ways to main, the fence
   would lift. Note onMain also gates gigs.js pickVenues pub placement.
-> F: tram verdict above; selector gating (HUD vs ?dbg) is your call, one line either way.

078245f7bd Lane E R20 (v4.0-beta): the density widening — widened fetch, 5 caches re-emitted, towns index
Ledger #2 (E's half), built to C's LANE_C_PUB §6 table under John's SUBTLE directive.

- Widened fetch: C's tasteful staple list (shop=* + amenity=cafe per C's dagger note), mapped through
  C's copy-paste table onto EXISTING registry types (no new archetypes). Guardrails honoured: no
  vehicle/fuel/funeral/storage/industrial, no pure services. New raw snapshot per town (the fetcher
  auto-refetches when the class list changes -- query recorded in each snapshot), committed like the first.
- SUBTLE by construction: secondhand HEROES never subsampled; texture capped at 3x heroes (top of C's
  ~2-3x band), over-cap towns seed-subsampled deterministically (sha256(townKey:osmId)) with every drop
  counted in counts.textureDropped. Result 3.0x in all five: katoomba 20+60 (-4), newtown 18+54 (-156),
  fremantle 20+60 (-81), bendigo 9+27 (-81), castlemaine 6+18 (-43). Density 6-21 -> 24-80 shops (3-4x).
- web/assets/towns/index.json (new, E-owned): {schema, generated, license, attribution, towns[{key, town,
  state, shops, roads}]} -- B's selector can drop the REAL_TOWNS hardcode (hud.js:11).
- Deterministic (byte-identical re-run, 0 re-fetch). ODbL: SOURCES.md + per-cache license/attribution.

-> Lane A (absorb pass): (1) 10 expected golden re-pins -- the widening moves every real town's base+gig
   golden (designed E->A handoff); synthetic 0x3fa36874 UNMOVED, fixtures frozen. (2) SEAM: index.json
   trips selfcheck's town glob (selfcheck.js:467 takes every top-level towns/*.json as a cache) -- one-line
   fix in your file: .filter(f => f.endsWith('.json') && f !== 'index.json'). Didn't touch selfcheck.js
   (yours, you're mid-round in it); Fable spec'd the index at this path so the path stays.
-> Lane C: kept video_games -> video (absent from your §6 table; was already shipping as video pre-widening,
   so the fallback would have regressed it to opshop). Same family, same target -- flagging for your table.

955ec3497b Lane A round 20: spine-poster cap scaled by shop count (v4.0-beta, ledger #1)
Closes my own R19 finding + F's one open budget edge. A sparse REAL town has few shops but a big edge
graph, so the 'two posters per main edge' pole run reads busy (katoomba 438) and drove venue_night to
200,965 tris (+0.5% over the 200k soft ceiling).

- gigs.js buildPosters caps the spine pole run at POSTER_PER_SHOP × shops (1.5/shop, floor 12) — a seeded
  subsample. SCALED BY SHOP COUNT, not edge count (the whole point). katoomba 438→31 posters (~2x the
  synthetic feel), fremantle 32, castlemaine 14. NO-OP on the shop-dense synthetic town (493 shops ⇒ cap
  ~740 ≫ its ~15 posters), so the synthetic gig golden 0xb1d48ea1 stays FROZEN.
- Posters are gig-layer (withGigs), so the real-town BASE goldens are unchanged (correctly green). Added
  REAL_TOWN_GIG_GOLDENS (the full district+capped-poster plan per town: katoomba 0xbd332e83, …) to
  regression-guard the capped output byte-exact, not just via districtInvariants. classic/gig/marched
  fixtures frozen; selfcheck ALL GREEN 51675/51675; scaffold + consistency GREEN; cross-process deterministic.

→ F: re-measure venue_night, the +965 edge should close. Density absorb (ledger #2) pends E's widened
caches — the poster cap already reads the live shop count, so it auto-scales to the widened towns.

73694c97aa Lane B round 19 (v4.0-alpha): in-game town selector (ledger #4, beta pull-forward, non-blocking)
Shipped the town picker in hud.js (which already owns its DOM overlay -> NO index.html seam). A compact
<select> in the HUD (top-left, pointer-events:auto), 9 options: synthetic + 3 OSM fixtures (osmTownKeys
minus _real) + 5 real-road caches (Katoomba/Newtown/Fremantle/Bendigo/Castlemaine, hardcoded REAL_TOWNS --
no manifest yet, beta derives it). Selecting navigates: synthetic clears plansrc/town; a town sets
?plansrc=osm&town=<key>, preserving all other params. Current pre-selected; unknown-current still shown.
Verified end-to-end: picked katoomba_real through the dropdown -> booted real Katoomba (966 edges/323
intersections/3 venues), 0 errors. Lives inside #pc-hud so hud.setVisible(false) hides it for money shots.

-> F (B->F seam): NONE -- self-contained in hud.js (already constructed by createHUD). Gate it behind ?dbg
   with one setVisible call if you prefer; left always-in-HUD as a modest debug-grade feature.

Corner-strips spot-check (R18 failure-item #3): ground fills real intersections OK -- degree-4 junction
(58 exist) shows road strips overlap-filling the junction, lane markings + zebra crossing render, no gross
gap. Acceptable for alpha; finer acute-angle pass = beta.

Budget note -> F (measured vs A's UNCOMMITTED WIP -- caveat, not a defect): F's BIG_CITY one-liner is live
(chunks 50->26). But venue block still ~237k tris at night against the current tree, which carries A's
uncommitted R19 finalization (plan_osm modified; graph grew 799->966 edges, junction-joining in but the
far-island CULL not yet). Fable's ruling: the cull is "half of B's tris problem" -> the <=200k gate needs
F's fix AND A's committed cull. Re-measure the busiest real block after A pins (the deferred tris-post-cull
re-measure genuinely waits on A's commit; the dev server serves other lanes' uncommitted edits).

6fc4b40632 Lane A round 19: the v4.0-alpha close — fragmentation ruling + findings hardened + goldens pinned
A's finalization (ledger #1), the round's spine. Every filed R18/R19 finding resolved; the tag is F's.

- Fragmentation (D's finding; Fable ruled, A owns details). The naive real graph fragmented (katoomba 105
  components, 58% street-metres on islands). plan_osm.buildRealRoads now: (a) JUNCTION-PROTECTED
  Douglas-Peucker — a point shared by >=2 ways is a junction; simplify only BETWEEN junctions, never
  through one (the collinear tee-off drop, the root cause) → 94-100% main-net alone; (b) cull/bridge —
  main component + near-fragments joined (JOIN_TOL 12m; shop-island bridge <=200m), far SHOPLESS islands
  culled. Result: 1 connected component on all 5 towns (katoomba 100% main-net, 2 islands culled). Every
  dropped shop COUNTED in norm.dropped (ruling): katoomba 19/20 (1 crowd drop — R18 overflow prediction
  measured), the other four kept all.
- E's poster-clearance finding fixed (gigs.js): a spine poster overhanging a real crossing carriageway is
  skipped, measured exactly as the selfcheck kerb floor — a NO-OP on synthetic (gig golden frozen, pr()
  consumed before the check). 23 real-town clearance failures → 0.
- Goldens pinned (A->E->A finalization): all 5 real towns on their real-roads output (katoomba 0xb7ffbca2,
  newtown 0x6f984c81, fremantle 0xfb197000, bendigo 0x21179b3b, castlemaine 0x7c47f639). synthetic
  0x3fa36874 / gig 0xb1d48ea1 / marched fixtures / classic / default FROZEN — the alpha changed nothing
  outside the cache-schema path. selfcheck ALL GREEN 51670/51670; scaffold + consistency GREEN. Cross-
  process deterministic.
- New finding filed (beta, non-blocking): spine-poster density scales with edges (katoomba 438 vs ~14
  synthetic; draws low via instancing) → a beta posters-per-town cap.

Handshake fired → B/C/D/F: katoomba_real boots real roads, golden pinned, findings resolved.

e6fcb7b365 Lane F R19 (v4.0-alpha): B's BIG_CITY one-liner — big-graph towns stream like big cities
Real towns can have FEW shops but a HUGE road graph (real Katoomba: 20 shops / 799 edges / 5 km), so the
shop-count-only heuristic left them on small-town streaming and blew the tri budget (280k > the 200k gate).
Extend the trigger to the graph: BIG_CITY = shops>120 || edges>200. B proved the effect; landed EARLY so
D/B's post-fix re-measures see it (per the R19 order).

Verified: katoomba_real 799 edges -> BIG_CITY -> 61 draws / ~12k tris (was 280k), 0 errors.

10db373e67 Lane E R18 (v4.0-alpha): the other 4 towns' road geometry (data-only) + Overpass retry
Newtown/Fremantle/Bendigo/Castlemaine now schema v2 with roads[] (1086/622/1552/397 real streets),
same fidelity cut (street tier only). Data-only: only katoomba gates the round; A hardens against these.
build_towns.py: added Overpass retry/backoff (public API 504s under load — hit one mid-run).

The poster-clearance finding is SYSTEMATIC: it reproduces on all 5 real-road towns, every seed (23
checks, -0.9 to -4.7m), confirming it's plan-level poster placement (A's pickVenues/POSTER_CLEAR), not
town data. Scoping holds: only the real/* v2 path fails; synthetic + fixtures + classic + default boots
stay green. A's one fix generalizes to all five. ODbL: raw roads committed, SOURCES.md current.

-> Lane A: all 5 towns' roads live; the systematic poster finding is yours to resolve + re-pin goldens.

dbb52c2390 Lane E R18 (v4.0-alpha): katoomba_real real road geometry (schema v2, ledger #3)
Extend build_towns.py: bounded way[highway](bbox) out geom per town -> raw cached in-repo -> roads[]
in A's v2 contract ({id,kind,pts:[[lat,lon]]}, kind=raw OSM highway class). katoomba_real is now
schema v2 with 484 real streets (Bathurst Rd, Cliff Drive, ...). Fidelity cut (charter risk #4, flagged
to A): fetch every ROAD_KIND tier -> raw; EMIT the town street tier only, excluding service/track/
footway/path/steps/cycleway (1461 of 2506 Katoomba ways = bushwalking tracks/sidewalks/stairs/driveways).

A's lift builds a real town from it (verified): 484 streets -> 872 nodes/799 edges (main 232 side 531
arcade 36) -> 12 blocks, 20 lots, 3 venues (pub/band_room/rsl), 12 gigs. pickVenues lands venues on the
real graph (ledger #2 met).

FINDING for A (alpha failure-list, charter risk #3): on the real graph, spine posters overhang crossing
carriageways -- selfcheck kerb-clearance fails on 4 seeds (-1.6 to -2.5m; e.g. seed 20261990 poster 50 vs
edge 58 = -2.42m). Same class as A's R15/R16 corner-poster fix, now on real cross-street geometry. Owner:
A (pickVenues/POSTER_CLEAR on the real graph, the 'A again' harden step) -- my roads data is VALID (cache
validates; failures are plan-level poster placement). Golden settles after A's fix (pre-fix 0x6014a8e6).
ODbL: raw roads committed, SOURCES.md updated.

-> Lane A: katoomba roads live; harden the lift + resolve the poster finding + re-pin the golden.

a78dc76f84 Lane A round 18: the real-graph lift — OSM ways → CityPlan street graph (v4.0-alpha REAL ROADS)
The epoch headline (ledger #2). A v2 cache's roads[] now builds the CityPlan street graph FROM real
OSM geometry instead of marching shops onto synthetic avenues. SAME CityPlan schema out — B/C/D/F consume
it unchanged by contract. roads absent ⇒ the v1 marched fallback, so classic/gig/osm goldens are FROZEN.

plan_osm.buildRealRoads: project ways+shops to the local metre frame → simplify each way (Douglas-Peucker
eps~6m, the fidelity knob) → snap coincident points (<=3m) to shared nodes = real intersections →
straight-segment edges → classify main by OSM highway class + shop density → seat each shop on its NEAREST
real edge (real order, real side), marched with regularised spacing + a deterministic overlap-resolve pass.

Fidelity (charter risk #4): real edge/order/side + regularised spacing — NOT pixel positions (real shops
overlap; the no-overlap invariant is load-bearing). Alpha failure list in LANE_A_NOTES §R18: overflow drop
on short edges; intersections = shared-coordinates only (a D sim-graph risk); per-edge frontage-strip
blocks not planar faces (a B ground-render item); crowded-intersection overlap-resolve.

Proven: a committed synthetic irregular graph (main + two cross streets + a real intersection + an acute
angle + a dead-end lane + a curve) passes the FULL structuralSuite + gig district + byte-identical
determinism; mutation-tested non-vacuous (flip the facade facing → 'faces its frontEdge' fails). Robust on
messy inputs (single road, coincident dups, disconnected ways, all-roads-too-short → marched). All osm
goldens frozen; E's 4 trailing caches pinned on v1; katoomba_real UNPINNED (its real-roads golden pins when
E lands roads — the A->E->A finalization). selfcheck ALL GREEN 16810/16810; scaffold + consistency GREEN.

4dc80c2146 Lane A round 18: town-cache schema v2 (roads[]) — published FIRST (v4.0-alpha REAL ROADS)
The half-day handshake so E's build_towns.py can fetch road geometry (ledger #1). Optional roads[]
on the town cache carries real OSM way geometry; plan_osm's graph lift (consuming it) follows in the

- validateTownCache accepts schema procity-town-cache/1 AND /2; when roads[] is present each road must be
  { kind:string, pts:[[lat,lon],…] } with >=2 finite points (else rejected); <2 pts dropped, unmapped
  highway kind → 'side' (warnings). ROAD_KIND maps OSM highway=* → CityPlan edge kind (main/side/lane/arcade).
- Full v2 contract in web/assets/towns/README.md (the doc E builds to): shape, road validity, the kind map,
  the fidelity knob (charter risk #4), and the bbox-bound-the-roads rule.

- index.js barrel re-exports registerTownCache/validateTownCache; the shell fetches + registers
  assets/towns/<key>.json before generatePlanFor when the town isn't a checked-in fixture — so

6671cf08f4 Lane D R17 (v3.2): the drummer's pelvic-lean (ledger #1)
The R16 seated drummer sat bolt-upright (the sit clip can't carry a pelvic tilt

lean applied POST-MIX. spawnRig({seated}) caches the mid-spine bone (seatBone);
seatedLean(spine) rotates it forward ~0.34 rad each frame after the mixer resets
it (constant offset, not accumulation); band.js calls it for m.seated members.
The drummer leans into the kit — head 0.28m forward of the hips, reads as a real
drummer from the side.

Byte-identical (my signature): standing rigs get no seatBone (found only in the

(classic 0x3fa36874, gig 0xb1d48ea1, all three osm fixtures frozen). The scout proves the EXISTING
?plansrc=osm contract eats real geography.

- The town-cache contract (published FIRST — E builds build_towns.py to it). plan_osm.js gains
  validateTownCache() (authoritative {ok,errors,warnings}), registerTownCache(), a generatePlanOSM(..,
  {cache}) seam, and TOWN_CACHE_SCHEMA/MIN_TOWN_SHOPS(6)/MAX_TOWN_SPAN_M(5km). Shape: {schema,key,town,
  source,license,attribution,center{lat,lon},shops[{id,name,type,lat,lon,suburb?}]}. Home declared:
  web/assets/towns/<key>.json (+ README.md full spec). Documented in CITY_SPEC v3.2 + LANE_A_NOTES R17.
- plan_osm hardened: blank name -> registry label; the validator gates finite center/coords + a >=6-shop
  floor and warns on unknown-type(->opshop)/dup-id/span>5km. Proven vs thriftgod's real 2,828-shop
  city_source.json: boots a valid plan, 0 bad coords, 0 'undefined' names.
- selfcheck: a committed synthetic-adversarial contract suite (valid-messy caches boot + pass structural/
  gig; invalid reject; wide-spread warns; registry seam) + an auto-loader for web/assets/towns/*.json
  (validate -> suites -> pin per-town golden), empty and green until E lands caches. ALL GREEN 15277/15277.
- v4 charter risk list (LANE_A_NOTES R17): the MEGA-STRIP (unbounded bbox -> 11.6 km strip; town selection
  is E's real lever, warned >5km); sparse compact towns (2 km inner-Canberra held 6 shops); osm facades
  clear (rows 54 m apart) so R16's bias is a no-op on real towns.

E->A handshake: E drops a cache in web/assets/towns/, the selfcheck prints its golden, I pin it.

ee16545941 Lane B round 17 (v3.2): wind sway SHIPS -- weather-driven gum-tree sway (ledger #5, parked since R7)
Verdict: shipped, not killed. The R7 park reason ("touches shared materials") is a non-blocker under
R16's measurement-over-brief standard: the gum-tree billboard material is B-owned (furniture.js), so
this is entirely Lane B -- no C/E material seam. Verified fresh Chromium seed 20261990.

- New web/js/world/wind.js: shared uniforms (uWindTime/uWindAmp) + applyWind(material) (onBeforeCompile
  vertex patch: top-weighted horizontal sway, per-instance world-position phase, USE_INSTANCING-guarded)
  + updateWind(dt,intensity). furniture.js applies it to the tree material; weather.js drives it from
  update(dt) (base breeze 0.05 clear -> 0.05+intensity*0.30 ~0.35 rain gusts).
- Trees only. Awnings excluded by MEASUREMENT: rigid posted-verandah box slabs don't flutter (fabric
  canopy ripple = separate v3.3, shares the rigid awning InstancedMesh today).
- Byte-identical when weather off (the covenant): updateWind runs only inside weather.update, and the
  weather system isn't constructed under ?weather=0 / ?classic=1 -> uWindAmp stays 0 -> sin(...)*0.0==0.0
  -> identical vertices. Proven: amp=0 two times = 0/180000 px differ; ?weather=0 boot = 0 tree-motion px;
  ?classic=1 = amp 0, trees render, 0 errors. No plan/fetch/rng change -> F's classic gate untouched.
- Sway works: rain amp 0.305 moves ~14100/180000 region px over 0.8s (exaggerated 2.5 -> 101k); trees
  render clean, no glitch. ~0 draws (ALU ops in the existing tree InstancedMesh vertex program), 0 errors.

-> Lane F (B->F handshake): SWAY SHIPPED. In old frames under the default boot; ?classic=1/?weather=0
   sway-free + byte-identical. Procedural (no asset -> E has nothing to do).

a4946b7ca2 Lane F R16 (v3.1 THE FLIP): defaults on + ?classic covenant + seated-stature gate (ledger #1, #3)
The town shows its best by default. gigs / weather / winmap / tram flip ON (each keeps a ?flag=0 opt-out;
?classic=1 forces the exact v2 boot). The prime-law covenant MOVED from "flags off" to "?classic=1" —
byte-identical forever (synthetic fingerprint 0x3fa36874). The default boot is now the full experience,
deterministic to the gig golden 0xb1d48ea1 (A's R16 corner-poster re-pin).

- index.html: CLASSIC + flagOn(); gigs/weather/tram default-on; loadPedFleet({sit:!CLASSIC}) for the seated
  drummer (?classic keeps the zero-fetch-delta covenant); a window.PROCITY.flags intent surface for the gates
- buildings.js: winmap default-on + classic-aware (the one cross-lane flip line the flag placement requires)
- flags_check.py: flags_off_regression -> classic_regression (?classic=1 byte-identical); a new default_boot_gate
  (all four flags on, gig layer present, gig golden, budget); every gig smoke re-pointed at the DEFAULT boot
- seated-stature gate (ledger #3, published for D): interior_scale_check.py + flags_check.py accept
  fig.userData.procitySeated at stature [0.9,1.5] m (the drummer); standing figs stay [1.4,2.0]
- qa.sh flags-harness gate name updated (classic regression + default-boot gate)

Verified: ?classic byte-identical (0x3fa36874, gig layer absent); default boot = the full town (14 gigs, 15
posters, tram, gig golden green, 112 draws @ the venue block); the seated drummer passes at 1.32 m stature;
district (3 venues / 3 genres), continuity, and cover all green on the default boot.

ab7a8d0edf Lane D R16 (v3.1): the drummer sits + backline unification (ledger #2, #5)
Ledger #2 — drummer sits. E's sit.glb is wired into the shared rig stack:
- FINDING: Fable's prescribed _rotWithHips (keep Hips.quaternion) MANGLES the
  pose in-shell (head folds to hip height / laid flat) — the fleet rigs' bind
  Hips orientation is incompatible with the Mixamo clip's, exactly what _rotOnly
  documents. So the sit clip rides _rotOnly (drops Hips.quaternion) like every
  clip; _rotWithHips removed. The seated read comes from the leg bends + a new
  spawnRig({seated}) foot-replant (opt-in; standing spawns skip it).
- Drummer uses fleet.sitClip when present (retires SEAT_DROP), tags
  fig.userData.procitySeated=true (F's gate). Stature ~1.1-1.3m in [0.9,1.5];
  reads seated from the crowd POV (kit hides the legs). Graceful SEAT_DROP
  fallback when sitClip absent (?noassets / before F wires {sit}).
- BYTE-IDENTICAL proof (load-bearing): with sitClip null AND loaded, keepers are
  standing rigs (stature 1.718, innerRotY pi, replanted:false) and walkers 188/188
  face travel. Parallel/opt-in path; _rotOnly + makeActor untouched.
- F seam: loadPedFleet(base, {sit}) — pass sit:<gig active> (false under
  ?classic → no sit.glb fetch, classic covenant intact). Default off, graceful.

Ledger #5 — backline unification. _addBackline plants E's guitar_amp at C's
stage.backline[0] (== D's R15 pose, 0.75m bass clearance) instead of a hardcoded
pose. C dropped its primitive ampStacks, so D owns the backline: placeholder-
persists (primitive amp → GLB swap) with the primitive as the ?noassets fallback.
Verified: GLB swaps, primitive under noassets, no crash, 0 fetch.

2b13dd4ad7 Lane A round 16: v3.1 corner-poster clearance bias (#6) + no-spine osm fixture (#7)
Ledger #6 fix + the round's one sanctioned gig-golden re-pin, and ledger #7. Classic/synthetic
golden 0x3fa36874 frozen (classic boot byte-identical across all seeds); base plan untouched.

- Corner poster: the R15 finding (frontage poster near a crossing kerb) is NOT fixable by the brief's
  'nudge along the facade' — proved the crossing edge is PARALLEL and spans the facade (0/187 slides
  help); band_room/rsl land on through-lots on narrow warehouse blocks whose +Z wall (B's door side)
  overlaps the block's other street by up to ~3 m. Surfaced to Fable; ruling: bias pickVenues. It now
  prefers a band_room/rsl candidate whose +Z facade clears every carriageway by >= POSTER_CLEAR (0.5 m),
  broadening off-spine if the fringe is uniformly narrow. Result: 0/851 frontage posters below floor
  across 400 seeds (worst 0.51 m); pub untouched (hero shot unmoved).
- Gig golden re-pinned 0x4f4a549d -> 0xb1d48ea1 (posters moved). selfcheck's R15 blanket frontage
  exemption becomes a real floor: frontage >= POSTER_CLEAR, spine >= 0 (POSTER_CLEAR exported from the
  barrel). Mutation-tested non-vacuous.
- No-spine osm fixture 'silverton' (single-row town, 0 main edges) proves pickVenues' no-spine branch +
  buildPosters' no-main fallback, closing the R14 sweep gap. Base golden pinned 0xd4b351c9; sweep asserts
  0 main edges + graceful 2-4-venue placement. selfcheck ALL GREEN 14769/14769; scaffold + consistency GREEN.
- CITY_SPEC v3 amended (golden, poster clearance-bias prose, no-spine note, recorded amendment). Left the
  prime-flag-law blockquote for F (the v3.1 classic-law + flags-table is F's amendment). For F:
  default-boot golden = 0xb1d48ea1; ?classic=1 target = 0x3fa36874.

54a030b38b Lane B round 16 (v3.1 THE FLIP): town-wide streetlamp pools + default-boot budget re-baseline
Ledger #4. Verified fresh Chromium seed 20261990. No new rng, goldens untouched.

- Town-wide pools (venue.js): extended the R13 instanced-pool pass from venue frontages to EVERY
  streetlight + bus shelter. New townPoolSpecs(plan) replicates furniture.js's lamp cadence off the
  plan street graph (lamp every 18m from s=8, alternating sides, off=halfRoad+0.7) and reuses the
  exported busShelterStops(plan) -- read-only, furniture.js untouched (imported one function). All
  pools ride the ONE existing InstancedMesh -> still ~1 draw: 381 instances / 1 draw / ~760 tris.
  Night-driven; fog:true now so distant pools fade into night fog (pools aren't chunk-streamed) instead
  of floating as dots. Gig-gated -> ?classic=1 is pool-free = v2 parity by construction (no always-on
  furniture change, the v3.0 blocker). Deterministic cadence, no seeded draws (release law).

- Default-boot re-baseline: measured the default content (gigs + weather=rain + winmap + tram all
  live), settled. Busiest venue block (pub, NIGHT, rain) ~157 scene / ~170 total draws, 66k tris;
  venue_night 122, queue_night 121, district_posters/street_noon 185 (worst tour shot), market_square
  fresh 97/52k. ALL <=300 draws / <=200k tris. Flip adds ~3 draws (rain 1 + tram 2; winmap 0), pools
  add ~0 (instanced). Daytime dense-citizen ceiling (~275, Lane D, live-walk) unchanged (pools night-only).

- Bookmark spot-check: all 19 resolve, un-letterboxed, 0 errors under the default boot; rain+tram+winmap
  compose cleanly in old frames (street_noon rainy 177/114k, nothing blocked). No pose fixes.

Ran before F's flip landed (out of the stated order): pools are gig-gated so they work under ?gigs now;
re-baseline uses explicit all-flags URLs = post-flip default content. F re-confirms at close.

-> Lane F (B->F handshake): default-boot busiest block ~170 total draws / 66k tris; worst street view
   185 / 131k; densest daytime 97 / 52k. All under budget. Town-wide pools ~1 draw. Pool sprite is
   procedural (E has nothing to do).

42b11e717d Lane C R16 (v3.1): stage.backline[] amp unification, drop primitive ampStacks (ledger #5, C half)
C exposes room.stage.backline[] — 2 seeded up-stage amp slots {x,z,ry,y} (pure data) — and
drops its primitive ampStacks from placeStage. Lane D plants E's guitar_amp GLB at backline[0]
(D's primitive fallback under ?noassets): one unified backline, GLB when present.

- backline[0] = (stage.x + stage.w*0.36, deckY, stage.z - stage.d*0.22) == D's R15-verified amp
  pose exactly, so plumbing D's plant to backline[0] moves nothing on screen. backline[1] = spare
  stage-left mirror. ry=pi (audience-facing), y=deckY.
- Verified fresh (seed 20261990): slots up-stage, on-deck, clear of all 4 bandPoses (nearest-bass
  0.87 pub / 0.70 band_room / 0.92 rsl) and all watchPoints (>=1.95 m); determinism byte-identical;
  0 leftover ampStack groups; drawSweep venues 122/120/131 (was 126/124/135, -~4 draws each) <=350.
- Determinism/golden-safe: dropping the amp loop only drops draws on the 'stage' sub-stream (nothing
  downstream reads it); placement snapshot excludes ampStacks; interiors aren't hashed; ?classic has
  no venues. Disjoint from F's flip. LANE_C_PUB §3 amended (v3.1 marker).

C->D handshake: backline shape live. Verify with D once the GLB is wired at backline[0].

The ped you followed into a venue now turns up in its crowd. D published the seam in R14; F wires the three touches:
- interior_mode.js: crew.spawn({ roster: rosterOf(shop.id) }) — the front crowd slots become tonight's roster

  on the queue (each admit relays into the roster); the clear is automatic on the existing setGig(id,false)
- flags_check.py: smoke_continuity — asserts the seam (crowd includes roster-cap, pedIndex in tonightRoster),
  empty-roster injects nobody (shell side of D's byte-identical law), + ledger #5 settled-tris honesty

Verified: 2 queue admits carry into the crowd; empty roster 0-injected; settled interior 71k->182k tris

Verified: draw/tri delta 0 (same GLB moved — pub 50 draws / ~183k tris, <=350);

no crash). No other code — continuity + the ratified sit-clip deferral are closed.

a0b578477c Lane B round 15: verify hero after A's poster flip + night poster readability (?gigs=1)
Verified A's ledger-#1 flip (35da83c): the pub's own-frontage poster moved from 15.9m behind the
building to 0.09m from the door on the +Z street face, facing the reader -- no queue_night pose
change needed (R14 prediction held). Gig golden 0x1f636349->0x4f4a549d consumed cleanly.

Fix (John-sanctioned exception to the R14 freeze): posters were unlit MeshStandardMaterial and
rendered pure black at NIGHT (measured frontage poster centre [183,71,59] day -> [4,0,1] night), so
queue_night + district_posters showed no readable bill even after A's flip. venue.js now gives posters
emissiveMap = the poster art, emissiveIntensity ramped in update() by night (0 day -> 0.55 night, same
lerp as glow/pools). Self-lights the bill after dark; daylight byte-identical (verified midday spine
poster pixel-unchanged). No new rng, no plan change, goldens frozen. ?noassets fallback self-lights too.

Verified fresh Chromium seed 20261990: queue_night (seg5, live queue) frames marquee + window glow +
streetlamp pools + a readable red poster by the door + queue punters (90 draws/29k tris);
district_posters night now shows a poster (was black, 180/138k); daylight unregressed.

-> Lane F (B->F handshake): HERO VERIFIED. Shoot queue_night at seg 5 (NIGHT) -- poster now reads there
   and night is needed for pools+glow; drive the queue live (rAF throttled in automation). Poster
   night-emissive rides the shell's per-frame venuePresentation.update(gigState.byVenue).

35da83c347 Lane A round 15: frontage poster +Z street-face flip (ledger #1) + gig golden re-pin
R14 review found every venue's own-frontage poster on the building's −Z BACK since R13 (~16 m
behind the street face, B measured 15.9 m) — invisible from the street, why queue_night framed no
poster. Ledger #1, A-first (B's hero re-shoot + F's tour hang off this).

- gigs.js buildPosters item 1: flip to the +Z street facade (B's canon: buildings.js facade zf=+d/2
  + venue.js door/queue/camera are +Z) AND ry=lot.ry+π so the printed face points +Z at the queue-side
  camera (else DoubleSide shows a mirrored band name). Proven: pub+rsl frontage posters now sit 0.06 m
  from B's door, printed-face·(+Z street)=1.000. Spine posters untouched.
- Gig golden re-pinned 0x1f636349 → 0x4f4a549d (the round's ONE sanctioned move; posters moved).
  Synthetic golden 0x3fa36874 frozen. §v3 FROZEN marker records the amendment (amendment law).
- selfcheck: the +Z facade is the block-interior side in plan coords, so corner venues (band_room/rsl
  fronting one street with another behind — seed 1 lot#481, 1.58 m from a crossing centreline) seat the
  frontage poster near that street. That's B's building geometry (the door is there too), not a mid-road
  defect — so the no-bitumen assert now EXEMPTS building-bound frontage posters, keeps it for spine
  posters. 400-seed sweep green again: 14264/14264.
- CITY_SPEC §v3 amended (poster prose → +Z facade + ry+π; golden line; frontage/spine carriageway split;
  recorded amendment in the FROZEN marker). LANE_A_NOTES §R15 hands B/F the new golden + a corner-venue
  eyeball note. Convention settled: visible venue face is +Z; selfcheck's −Z 'faces frontEdge' is the
  sim/GLB convention (π-off the visual front, the R13 RY_FLIP ambiguity).

9a65f51a88 Lane D R14 (v3.0): identity continuity — the ped you followed is in the crowd
The last charter promise. A per-venue tonight roster (sim.js _venueRoster) of
who entered a gig venue tonight — surge occupants self-record in _enter, queue
admits relay via citizens.recordVenueEntry — is consumed by GigCrew.spawn: the
crowd's front slots BECOME the roster identities (same pedIndex, same height),
seeded strangers fill the rest.

- No golden move: both goldens are plan-gen hashes; each crowd slot is an
  independently-keyed rng stream, so a roster override touches only that slot and
  an EMPTY roster is byte-identical to R13 (verified). Roster heights 1.55-1.95m
  stay inside the no-giants [1.4,2.0] gate. Pure bookkeeping: 0 rng, 0 GPU.
- Roster persists across interior exit/re-enter, bounded, auto-clears on the
  setGig(id,false) transition (per-night). Deduped by stable key.
- queue.js: admitOne() returns {pedIndex,height,key} + fires an onAdmit callback
  (auto-drain AND explicit) so F relays every walked-in punter to the roster;
  _spawnAt stashes the identity. band.js: _make returns pedIndex; members carry
  it for F's continuity smoke; crew.spawn is now null-gig-safe.
- Verified: surge 8/8 + queue 4/4 real identities land in the crowd; empty-roster
  == R13; 7-night x 3-venue soak leak geo0/tex0, roster bounded, no identity
  churn; interior 64 draws <=350 (0 new rigs); ?noassets placeholders, 0 fetch.
- F seam in LANE_D_NOTES: crew.spawn({roster}) + queue onAdmit relay + the
  tonightRoster(venueShopId) accessor.
- Debt #2 (sit clip): investigated, deferred to v3.1 — the clip converts+binds
  (tailnet Sitting_Idle.fbx -> 394KB sit.glb) but a real seated pose is ~1.2m
  stature (fails F's no-giants floor) and needs a _rotWithHips loader + replant
  (shared rig-stack) + an F smoke exemption; not a freeze-week change. SEAT_DROP
  hack kept (reads seated from the money-shot front).

Release round: no new systems, no rng, goldens frozen (0x3fa36874 / gig 0x1f636349 both unmoved).
Files: audio.js, venue.js, dbg.js (+ LANE_B_NOTES). Verified fresh Chromium, seed 20261990.

- Alpha-alias readers dropped (debt #1, B first): audio.js venueGigState() loses the alias hop
  (g.venueShopId===id -> g.state); byVenue + clock fallback only. venue.js stateGetter() loses the
  bare-string arm (F passes gigState.byVenue since R13, confirmed index.html:379); seed = update(null).
  Verified live: byVenue {116:on,404:on,490:quiet} at NIGHT drives the marquee with no string arm;
  audio resolves gig-<genreKey> per venue with no alias hop. F is UNBLOCKED to delete the getters.
- Bookmark/tour audit under ?gigs=1: all 19 bookmarks resolve, frame un-letterboxed, 0 page errors,
  <=300 draws. District venue-conversions hijacked none (night_neon->Video Regal, dig_real->Retro
  Groove). No pose fixes needed. (Orphan-chunk teleport inflates tris across sequential shots -- fresh
  counts <=153k; tram_stop's real ~293k is close-range Lane D GLB ped rigs, framing fine, not a venue block.)
- queue_night bookmark added (dbg.js): John's release hero -- close 3/4 on the pub door at seg 5
  ('on'), biased to the queue side; new poseForVenueQueue() recomputes venue.js frontage geometry.
  Frames marquee + window glow + streetlamp pools + the queue (spawned live by the shell loop; F's
  gig_shot.py drives it live -- verified by manually spawning D's VenueQueue: 2 punters at the door).
- Poster-repetition call (debt #4): FINE, no ask to E -- 2 gigs tonight => 2 distinct designs
  (screenprint/Screaming Utes x7, xerox/The Dead Ringers x7); variety scales with venues playing.
- Town-wide streetlamp pools: v3.1 candidate per Fable ruling (venue-scoped for v3.0; no code).

-> Lane F: cross-lane alias sweep is CLEAN (no A/C/D/E reads it); only your own 20 tool lines in
   flags_check.py + gig_shot.py remain -- migrate to *Of(id)/venueShopIds[0] when you delete the
   gig_state.js:141-151 getters + the CITY_SPEC alias line (with A).
-> Lane A (now gates John's hero-shot poster): buildPosters item 1 still seats each venue's own
   frontage poster on local -Z (back wall, 15.9m from the +Z street facade). Flip to +sin,+cos and it
   seats by the door -- in the existing queue_night frame, no pose change. Per "don't touch world
   code," B did not work around it. Re-flagged from R13.

62e38c5df8 Lane C R14 (v3.0 release): venue audit + docs freeze + guitar_amp ruling
Light release round — C interior code unchanged since R13 (venue geometry stable by
construction); this is the audit, the amp ruling, and the v3.0-FROZEN docs.

- Re-verified vs the current tree (D's continuity + RY-fix + real instrument GLBs landed):
  contract byte-identical (caps 8/8/12, deckY/riserY, gigKeys, determinism), drawSweep <=350
  (worst 161), gig-night draws pub 60 / band_room 52 / rsl 71 <=350. Release-law confirmed:
  D's rng namespace is disjoint from C's ctx.stream; no golden can move.
- guitar_amp ruling (LANE_C_PUB §3): NOT blessed as-is. D's pose (stage.z+0.15, down-stage)
  interpenetrates the bass rig by 0.29 m; move it up-stage-right ~ (stage.w*0.36, deckY,
  stage.z - stage.d*0.22), clear of the bass + C's primitive ampStacks. Full amp unification
  = v3.1. Cosmetic + ?gigs opt-in -> not a tag blocker. C->D handshake.
- Docs freeze: LANE_C_PUB.md + LANE_C_AUDIO.md marked v3.0-FROZEN; RY §0 reframed past-tense
  (the +Z fleet was fixed at source in D's buildFigure, R13 - no per-consumer flips); budgets
  updated to R14; in-flight handoffs removed.
- Comment-only code (zero runtime/golden/rng change): fixed stale R12 inline return-shape
  comments (watchPoints 6..8 -> 8/8/12; stage bandPoses[3] -> [4] + riserY) in interiors.js +
  layout.js; documented the standalone gigKey hand-build. theme.js untouched.

Note for E/F: settled gig-night interior is ~182k tris (E instruments 14k each x5); F's smoke
reports ~34k measuring before the async GLBs load. Interior draw gate passes; v3.1 LOD candidate.

a3911a4590 Lane A round 14: v3.0 release — 400-seed district invariant sweep + CITY_SPEC §v3 frozen
Release round: harden + freeze, no new systems. No golden moved (synthetic 0x3fa36874, gig
0x1f636349 both re-verified frozen); selfcheck.js is the only code touched, so no seeded generation
stream gained a draw (release-round law).

- selfcheck.js: factored the district checks out of gigSuite into districtInvariants(plan,label)
  (behaviour-preserving — hero-seed gigSuite runs byte-identical), then added a 400-seed synthetic
  sweep + the large edge seeds asserting the full district contract each (2-4 venues, >=1 pub, never
  the openLate shop, no band twice/night town-wide, per-venue 4-6 nights, every poster off the
  carriageway). Asserts the seeded count spans {2,3,4} across 400 seeds (146/121/133 — range is
  exercised, not pinned). osm graceful placement: katoomba (19 shops, no warehouse district) still
  lands 2-4 valid venues incl. a pub for every hero seed. Poster check kept at roadWidth/2 (a literal
  poleOffset compare would false-fail corner posters); added -1e-6 epsilon on the strict boundary.
  ALL GREEN 14264/14264 in ~0.7s.
- CITY_SPEC §v3: final wording pass, marked FROZEN at v3.0 (round 14) with a v2-style marker + an
  explicit carve-out for F's pending alias-line deletion. Fixed the roadWidth prose (full carriageway
  width, not 'half-corridor'). Genres final (pubrock/grunge/covers).

Coordination: the R12 single-venue alias line stays in §v3 for F to delete atomically with the
gig_state.js getters (debt #1) — deleting now would be doc-ahead-of-code (alias still live) and race F.
Flagged to F that the runtime block omits nightOf(id); to B that venue.js:228 is a 2nd bare-string
site. Verified: mutation-tested the sweep (non-vacuous — catches 5-venue/7-night/on-road violations)
+ adversarial pass (goldens frozen, freeze matches code, deterministic).

55f6698fb2 Lane E R14 (v3.0 release): provenance freeze + doc-consistency fixes
Provenance close-out for the v3.0 tag. Verified via a 6-agent inventory+audit workflow
(both adversarial audits PASS, 0 blockers) cross-checked against glb_stat/ffprobe/manifest.

- LANE_E_NOTES: v3.0-FROZEN provenance table + full audio(28)/GLB(38)/skins(96)/packs(3)
  inventories; by-design notes + v3.1 deferrals (street_bin decimation).
- AUDIT.md: add R13 gig-layer finalization section (14k decimation, _hi published, gigKey
  rename + 2 beds, depot publish done) — ledger was stale at R12.
- manifest glb_law string: state the documented <=8k-hero / <=14k-instrument tiers so the
  frozen contract is self-consistent (regenerated; 1-line diff, Gate 3 still 0/0).
- gen_audio: roomtone-video gain 0.3 -> 0.35 to match the shipped manifest.

Gate 3 GREEN; publish.py --verify clean; 0 quarantine assets in manifest; goldens unmoved
(synthetic 0x3fa36874, gig 0x1f636349). No new synthesis (genres final); no poster templates
(no ask from B).

a358c5d9ef Lane F R13 (v3.0-beta, the district): per-venue gig state + walla/applause + queue wiring; qa --strict 6/6
Wires A–E + D's district together and fires it. Seed 20261990 → "Boolarra Heads": 3 venues, 2 playing
tonight (The Exchange Hotel pub gig-pubrock + an RSL gig-covers, one dark), Screaming Utes $10 on the door.

- gig_state.js → PER-VENUE latches off the shared procity:segment spine (one per venueShopId); all three
  hard-won R12 laws kept. New runtime surface window.PROCITY.gigs.byVenue + onOf/openOf/gigOf/coverOf/
  bandNameOf/paidOf(id) + markPaidOf/venueShopIds; the R12 single-venue alias kept for one round.
- interior_mode.js: crowd-walla rides the interior tone layer under the live band bed while `on`; an
  applause sting fires once on the on->done edge. DELETE the GIG_BED bridge — debt #1, and it was a LIVE
  BUG: E renamed pubrock-live->gig-pubrock, so the bridge (gig-pubrock->pubrock-live) pointed at a dead
  key => the band would have mimed in silence. room.audio.gigKey (already the manifest key) feeds directly.
- index.html: per-venue cover charge (a night at two venues is two covers), concurrent per-venue setGig
  surges, and the outdoor VenueQueue lifecycle (D shipped the class + left the street-side seam to F:
  spawn at doors off B's queueZoneFor, drive each frame, dispose by done), exposed as queueCountOf(id).
- interior_scale_check.py: human-size assert now measures STATURE (crown-foot, platform-independent);
  world-crown ceiling-clip assert kept as its own line (debt #6).
- flags_check.py smoke_gigs -> THE DISTRICT: band->4, per-venue loop (every gigKey resolves across 3
  genres, crowd <= its own watchPoints, no-giants by stature), street budget at the busiest venue block,
  the queue assert; plus the R12 determinism/cover/noassets/flags-off arms.
- CITY_SPEC: pin the window.PROCITY.gigs runtime surface. gig_shot.py -> r13 interior + venue_night shots.

qa.sh --strict GREEN 6/6, 0 warn. Interior 63 draws/35k tris; street @ venue block 121 draws/51k tris;
band+crowd stature 1.61-1.81 m under a 4 m ceiling; flags-off fingerprint 0x3fa36874 unchanged.

fefbb4b806 Lane D R13 (v3.0-beta): 4-piece + instruments, outdoor queue, multi-venue surge, RY fix
- RY audit (debt #4): the ped GLB fleet's visual front is +Z but the whole
  system assumed -Z (sim heading math, C's pose ry, placeholder, impostor).
  Fixed at the source (rigs.js buildFigure normalises every rig to -Z front)
  and dropped band.js RY_FLIP. Corrects keepers/browsers (faced the back wall)
  and streamed walkers (moon-walked): 223/223 gig + 188/188 flags-off now face
  travel. Visual only, no golden move. keepers.js/placeholder.js/impostor.js
  unchanged (fixed for free). Canonical convention -> LANE_D_NOTES for C.
- Instruments (debt #2): E's manifest GLBs swap over the primitives async
  (placeholder-persists, fleet-gated -> 0 fetch under ?noassets), guitar/bass
  held, mic + kit planted, guitar_amp dressing.
- Drummer (debt #3): 4-piece, seated at C's drums pose (sink + kit occlusion;
  reads from the front/crowd POV - a sit clip is the polish).
- Outdoor queue (new queue.js): seeded 2-6 line at the frontage, drains on
  admitOne() + auto-drain, consumes B's queueZone or a frontage-hugging door
  fallback. F wiring seam documented in LANE_D_NOTES.
- Multi-venue surge (sim.js): setGig -> Set of concurrent venues.
- Interior gig 56 draws <=350; ?noassets+?gigs placeholders, silent-and-fine.

46127c7e95 Lane B (Streetscape) round 13: v3.0-beta the district — N-venue frontage + night pass + posters + queue zone (?gigs=1)
Generalises the R12 one-pub slice to all 2-4 venues and lands the night-readability polish. All
gig-gated (flags-off byte-identical, verified in a fresh browser context). Files: venue.js, audio.js, dbg.js.

- venue.js -> N venues: per-venue lit marquee/frontage on B's +Z facade side + window-light spill;
  streetlamp pools on venue blocks (one instanced warm-pool mesh, night-driven -> the Friday-night
  walk reads); town-wide posters instanced per gig (14 posters = 2 draws / 2 textures, band-name
  overprint, flat printed-poster fallback). Town-wide pools deferred (would need always-on
  furniture.js -> breaks flags-off parity).
- Queue-zone marker per venue: venue.queueZone = {x,z,ry,len} for Lane D (head at the door, extends
  along the frontage; queuer faces -ry). queueZones{} + queueZoneFor(id).
- audio.js muffled spill per-genre (debt #1): import gigKeyFor; the nearest venue at doors/on within
  26 m spills its gig-<genreKey> through the 470 Hz lowpass, so pub/band_room/RSL crossfade genre.
  F: delete the GIG_BED bridge.
- update(gigStates) polymorphic: per-venue map {[venueShopId]:state} (F wires PROCITY.gigs.byVenue)
  or alpha-compat bare string (primary pub). Contract documented for F in LANE_B_NOTES.
- ?noassets fetch fix (latent R12 bug): gate the poster JPEG fetch behind !noassets -> 0 gig-layer
  network over the 22-JPEG facade/ground baseline.
- dbg.js: venue_night + district_posters bookmarks (seg 5) so tools/qa/gig_shot.py scripts the
  street money shot; poseForVenue resolves from the live plan.

Budget (fresh Chromium, gigs-on NIGHT, busiest pub block, all frontages lit): worst 154 scene /
~167 total draws, 64k tris -- <=300 / <=200k. 0 console errors (gigs / gigs+noassets / flags-off).
Verified 3 venues seed 20261990: pub->gig-pubrock, RSL->gig-covers, band_room->gig-grunge (all in
E's manifest).

Finding for Lane A: buildPosters item 1 seats each venue-frontage poster on the lot -Z (back wall,
measured 15.9 m from the +Z street facade) -- flip to +sin,+cos. Spine/pole posters render correctly
and face the footpath ("SCREAMING UTES" readable). Non-blocking (marquee + pools carry the shot).

  reusing the pub machinery via a new per-kind venueSpec (deck size/height + crowd cap).
- layout.js: parametrized placeStage/placeWatchPoints; 4th `drums` pose seated on the riser
  (debt #3 — the band is now a 4-piece across all venues), stage.riserY + per-pose y.
- interiors.js: robust gig-<genreKey> resolution (gig.genreKey -> shop.genreKey -> kind
  default) matching E's renamed manifest beds (debt #1); API doc for the 4-piece + riserY.
- LANE_C_PUB.md: 3-kind venue contract + pinned ry convention and the empirically-verified
  keeper/browser back-to-front finding + source-normalise fix for Lane D (debt #4).

Verified fresh (seed 20261990 + 90-build soak): watch caps 8/8/12, gigKeys
gig-pubrock/gig-grunge/gig-covers, determinism 0, path/carve 0, gig-night worst RSL 237 draws
asset-free (16 rigs) / 77 GLB <=350, leak geo0/tex0. Shot: docs/shots/laneC/rsl_gig_r13.jpg.

  pubrock-live -> gig-pubrock (files + gen_audio + build_manifest); old files deleted.
  B/F switch readers, F deletes the GIG_BED bridge (both fail soft to silence til then).
- two new gig beds: gig-grunge (band_room, quiet-loud dynamic) + gig-covers (RSL, mellow
  organ-led); procedural/seeded/loopable/$0. New organ() + grungechord() synth helpers.
- decimate the 5 instrument GLBs to 14k tris each (was 43-96k; fleet 236k->70k, -70%) via
  collapse (thin features survive); _hi hi-poly originals kept for depot; thumbs re-rendered.

6fba79a1cb Lane A round 13: v3.0-beta the district (?gigs=1) — 2–4 venues, week schedule, town-wide posters, verge fix
Publishes the multi-venue plan.gigs interface C/D/B/F hang off (half-day handshake, A first).

- pickVenues: seeded 2–4 shops converted in place → pub (spine end) / band_room (warehouse
  fringe) / rsl (off-spine); 4th = 2nd pub at far end. Registry gains weight-0 band_room+rsl
  kinds + venueKind/genreKey/placement. Never the openLate landmark; osm-safe fallbacks.
- gigKey contract (debt #1): gigKeyFor(genreKey) => 'gig-'+genreKey, the single exported
  genre→bed mapping. No table anywhere; F deletes the GIG_BED bridge.
- plan.gigs goes district: 7 nights × every venue, each plays a seeded 4–6 (dark reads true);
  cover skewed by kind; no band plays two venues on one night; custom names spread night-major.
- plan.posters goes town-wide: tonight's playing venues each get frontage + seeded spine run.
- Verge fix (debt #5): new corridor law roadWidth/vergeBand/poleOffset(edge) in registry.js
  (road-vs-verge split of edge.width, published as functions ⇒ base goldens frozen). Posters
  seat on the verge, never bitumen; selfcheck asserts no poster on a carriageway.
- registry pub.interior 'band_room'→'pub' (unread field; avoids collision with band_room type).

Gig golden re-pinned 0xa6ae5a5e→0x1f636349 (multi-venue changed output; in-commit per amendment
law). selfcheck ALL GREEN 3273/3273; scaffold_check + consistency GREEN; flags-off byte-identical.

2498fdc892 Lane F R12: wire the v3.0-alpha gig layer (?gigs=1) — state machine, cover charge, band+crowd, gig audio
F last: five landed lanes → one Friday night. Seed 20261990 → The Thornbury Hotel,
tonight SCREAMING UTES, $10 on the door. qa.sh --strict GREEN 6/6.

- gig_state.js (new, F-owned): quiet → doors (DUSK) → on (NIGHT) → done (DAWN) → quiet.
  Rides lighting's procity:segment event (a poll only sees the segments it samples, and
  missed the night roll entirely); `state` is a getter because B's audio reads it from its
  own rAF while the player is inside a shop.
- ?gigs=1 seam: custom_bands.json fetched in the bootstrap (no fetch flag-off or ?noassets)
  → generatePlanFor(seed, src, {gigs:true, customBands}). 7 of John's 10 names fill the week.
- Cover charge on the R8 buy seam, zero new UI: paid debits once with a toast, re-entry the
  same night is free, broke → polite knockback, free nights walk straight in.
- interior_mode: opts.gig → C's gigKey; D's GigCrew (band 3 + crowd 8, 3 dancing) at C's
  stage/watch points; both disposed with the room (leak-free over 4 cycles).
- Cross-lane fix at the glue: C emits gigKey 'gig-pubrock', E shipped the bed as
  'pubrock-live' — unresolved the pub plays to a silent room and nothing errors. Bridged
  here; C/E/Fable owe CITY_SPEC a contract line. Details + 2 more findings in LANE_F_NOTES §12.
- smoke_gigs (16 gates): schedule determinism, band==3, crowd ≤ watchPoints, dance mix, bed
  resolves, ≤350 draws (47 rig / 171 placeholder), no-giants by STATURE (the band stands on a
  0.32m deck, so world-crown fails a correct band), cover ruling, ?noassets+?gigs.
  Flags-off regression gains a v3 arm: no state machine, no plan.gigs, no pub, no venue geo.

Constructed by the shell/F under ?gigs (like weather/tram).
- web/js/world/audio.js: muffled-gig spill — near the venue (<=26m) while a gig is at doors/on, pubrock-live plays through a 470Hz lowpass at low distance-gain. Reads window.PROCITY.gigs (F) with a plan.gigs+clock fallback.

888335d633 Lane D round 12: gig band + crowd + patronage surge (?gigs=1)
v3.0-alpha — Friday night at the pub. New web/js/citizens/band.js (GigCrew):
- Band trio on C's stage.bandPoses (deckY), distinct fleet peds (seeded per gig), each with a
  primitive instrument on the chest (guitar/mic/bass; E's GLBs drop in via opts.instrumentFor).
- Crowd (<=8) at C's watchPoints on the gate-protected spawnRig path: dance:false = weight-shift
  idle, dance:true = bounce/sway/step with seeded phase (no metronome).
- Deterministic from citySeed; placeholder crew under ?noassets.

sim.js: setGig(venueShopId, on) gig-night surge — patronage pulls peds from further (GIG_RANGE)
and ducks in harder (GIG_SURGE) at the venue; occupants drain at close per A's closing-time ruling.
Guarded by _gigVenue==null so gig-off is byte-identical (prime flag law; goldens unmoved).

Verified standalone (A withGigs + C buildInterior + D): band 3, crowd 8, dancing 3, all 11 figures
human-sized (1.60-1.83m under a 4.0m ceiling; R10 no-giants holds), band faces audience + crowd
faces stage, deterministic, leak-free (8 cycles, 0 delta). Crew ~40 draws. Surge: venue occupancy
1 -> peak 5, identity stable. Shot: docs/shots/laneD/r12_gig_night.jpg.

Flag for C/F: band.js flips C's watchPoints/bandPoses ry by pi (RY_FLIP) — the fleet mesh's visual
front is local +Z, not the -Z the comments assume. Remove RY_FLIP if C re-fronts the gig poses.

acf734a1e5 Lane A round 12: v3.0-alpha gig layer (?gigs=1) — venue, plan.gigs, band names, closing-time debt
Publishes the gig interface the whole round hangs off (A runs first). Everything is
behind ?gigs=1 as a POST-HOC augmentation (gigs.js withGigs, applied by the selector),
so generatePlan is untouched and all v2 goldens stay frozen (synthetic 0x3fa36874, osm
melbourne 0x34cfdec0, katoomba 0x0f652510). Source-agnostic (synthetic + osm).

- Venue: one 'pub' per town — a spine-end plain shop converted in place (keeps lot
  id/geometry, enterable), shop.venue=true, never the openLate landmark. Registry gains
  a weight-0 'pub' type (interior:'band_room' for Lane C) → never auto-placed → base
  plan byte-identical.
- plan.gigs: 7 nightly {gigId,venueShopId,bandName,genreKey:'pubrock',night,startSeg:5,

buildInterior returns room.audio = { musicKey, toneKey }, seeded per shop: keys into Lane E's manifest.audio (interior music bed + room-tone). Lane F's interior_mode plays it, B's audio.js resolves keys->files. Keys not files: buildInterior stays synchronous + asset-free; silence on missing/mute/noassets (house audio law).

3432fccd1f Lane D round 10: fix interior giant rigs + no-giants QA gate
R9 blocker: interior rig figures were ~2x too tall (keeper crown 3.83m in a 3.4m room,
clipping the ceiling). Root cause in rigs.js buildFigure: it normalised scale by height/headY,
where headY is the head bone's world Y in BIND POSE — but the Mixamo skeleton origin is the hips
(~mid-body), so headY is head-above-hips (~half the standing height), not feet->crown. Every rig
came out ~1.83-2.0x too tall. (The head does NOT move when posed — bind crown 3.209m vs idle
3.205m — so it's a hips-relative measure, not an animation issue.)

Fix: normalise by the feet->crown span (headY - minY, both already computed). buildFigure(rig, h)
now lands the crown at exactly h above planted feet. Fixes keepers, browser rigs, near-tier street
rigs AND the impostor bake (all ride buildFigure). Verified: all 19 fleet rigs crown==1.75m; live
keeper 3.83m -> 1.82m; determinism + dispose-leak soak unchanged.

Regression guard (required): new tools/qa/interior_scale_check.py (Playwright) enters a sample of
shops, injects browser rigs at browse points, asserts every interior fig crown in [1.4,2.0]m AND
< room dims.H AND feet planted. Wired into tools/qa.sh --strict (run_gate => a giant fails qa).
Proven bidirectional: PASS on the fix (24 figs/6 shops), FAIL on a reintroduced giant. Full
qa.sh --strict: 6 passed, 0 failed.

Re-shot laneD/r10_browsers_fixed.jpg. Figures human-sized relative to doors/fittings: yes.

e5d4679471 Lane A round 9: freeze CityPlan v2 contract in CITY_SPEC + closing-time occupant ruling
Ship round. Docs + one selfcheck log-line only; no generator change ⇒ all three goldens
unchanged (synthetic 0x3fa36874, osm/melbourne 0x34cfdec0, osm/katoomba 0x0f652510).

1. CITY_SPEC v2 contract FROZEN — new "CityPlan v2 — frozen producer contract" section: producer
   API, goldens table (keyed seed/plansrc/town) + how to pin a new one, town-key mechanism, osm
   normalization rules, hours/openLate/storeys laws. Matches code as shipped (F diffs claims vs
   code). Refreshed the stale round-6 Plan-sources blockquote to multi-town reality. Layer-1
   changes now require a CITY_SPEC amendment + golden re-pin in the same commit.
2. Recipe sanity — DRY-RAN end-to-end: appended a throwaway Newtown (42 shops), selfcheck auto-ran
   the full parity suite (1931/1932, only golden unpinned) and printed a paste-ready
   `newtown: 0x9045e577,`. Reverted; no 3rd town shipped. Added the selfcheck `⚠ UNPINNED — add to
   OSM_GOLDENS` line so the recipe is mechanical; fixed the recipe wording to match.
3. Closing-time occupant ruling (D's on-call Q) — ratifies + freezes what D's sim.js already does:
   half-open hours, no new entry when closed, occupants DRAIN (finish bounded dwell) never popped,
   player not force-ejected, openLate video is the night crowd. In CITY_SPEC + LANE_A_NOTES. No
   code change asked of D.

34145e24a7 Lane D round-9: interior presence — occupancy truth + browser rigs (C->D->F seam)
Follow a ped into a shop and find them browsing. D owns occupancy truth; C owns browse points;
F wires the handoff. Validated end-to-end in-shell (?stock=real). qa --strict GREEN; v1 untouched.

Occupancy (D1): patronage records who's inside which shop by shopId. New
citizens.occupancyOf(shopId) -> {count, occupants:[{seed,enteredAt,pedIndex}]} (pedIndex = the
exact ped who ducked in, for identity continuity). Cleaned on emerge/chunk-drop/stream-toggle.
Deterministic: 17 shops + occupants byte-equal across two runs (fixed a stale-occupancy leak on
stream toggle).

Browsers: keepers.js gained browse:true (faces the shelf via ry, no player-greet) + pedIndex +
seedKey. Each = a merged ped ~1 draw. 12 enter/exit cycles: count == min(occupancy,3) 12/12,
worst 61 draws <=350 (C's headroom holds), leak-free (0 GPU delta after warmup), disposed every
exit via keepers.disposeAll().

Consistency (D2): inside peds hidden on the street (0 rendered), re-emerge at the door.

F handoff verified by running F's exact interior_mode wiring (enter -> occupancyOf ->
browsePoints.slice(0,min(count,3)) -> keepers.spawn). index.html setShops door points need
shopId:s.id added. Closing-time handled by the dwell model (pending A's explicit ruling).

Book/toy shelves get pull-and-buy over the SAME wallet; records keep the
deep dig. New stockpack.buildBuyableShelf(): a real shelf is merged,
per-item-ADDRESSABLE meshes — one per atlas (all covers drawn from one
seeded atlas → one draw/shelf), tagged noBatch so batch.js leaves them

collapseBuyItem() zero-areas the item's quad in place (removed from the
shelf, no geometry churn). Parody stock → no buy mesh → no card. Fail-

The first deliberate flags-off baseline change. On D's GO (43edabf: E1 ped sub-mesh merge
447188a validated → ~1 draw/near-rig → full density 241 worst-street draws <=300, leak-free).

index.html: chunk-streamed roster default-on (chunkStream:{radius:2}); ?roster=v1 restores the
old fixed roster (escape hatch); ?roster=stream still accepted (now a no-op). Hours-aware
setNightLivelyChunks keeps the open-late block lively at night.

Flags-off regression baseline RE-PINNED (same commit, prime-law amendment):
  OLD (roster-off, v1.1):        163 draws, 19000 tris
  NEW (roster default-on, R7):   164 draws, ~66000 tris
Draws barely move — E1's merge makes each near-rig ~1 draw (exactly what gated the flip). The
tris jump is the streamed crowd (D worst-view 65,899); it is frame-variable, so the drift WARN

The stockAdapter seam built in v1 finally eats. Lane E's stock pack (parody-
transformed Discogs metadata + cover atlas) feeds record-shop bins + the dig
riffle behind ?stock=real. Economy stays a stub (buying = toast).

- Contract handshake (task 1, unblocked E): confirmed E's index schema as-is
  in LANE_C_NOTES (items[{id,title,artist,price,price_band,atlas,uv}]; uv
  origin top-left, C flips V for WebGL; fail-soft; per-type packs).
- stockpack.js (new): preloadStockPack/getStockPack (cached) + makeStockAdapter.
  Atlas texture + material are shared/cached (like depot GLBs); each sleeve is
  a cover PLANE sampling the atlas at its baked UV, so all real sleeves in a
  room batch to ONE draw (record: 59 draws).
- stock.js binFan: real cover planes (else parody canvas). dig.js: riffles real
  covers, pull card shows title/artist/$price/band. interiors.js: opts.stock=
  'real' wires the adapter (warn-once + parody fallback if pack absent). Test

43edabfe56 Lane D round-7: validate ped-merge → GO for roster flip + full-density defaults + escape hatch
Lane E's R7 merge (447188a) made each ped 1 mesh/1 material (~1 draw/near-rig, fleet 116->24 at
the cap) — the gate my R6 memo named. Validated + handed F the GO.

Merge validated: bind+animate/no-T-pose, skinning/skeleton preserved, silhouettes+atlas materials
crisp (hi-vis/suit/kid), impostor bake clean, identity variety + determinism intact. GPU memory
dropped (geom 205->160, tex 141->90).

Flip numbers (full density, perChunk 16, in-shell): worst street view 241 draws <=300 (was 356
unmerged), 65,899 tris <=200k, 17 near-rigs; 30-chunk soak (726 builds/disposes) leak-free, 0 GPU
delta, heap stable. => GO.

D2: enableStream default perChunk 8->16 (full density, the merge affords it); near-cap stays 24.
D3: test page + harness default to stream now; ?roster=v1 escape hatch restores the fixed roster
(verified streamMode false + determinism). No-flag boot -> streamMode true + determinism.
F's web/index.html flip wiring (invert to default-on + ?roster=v1 escape) documented in
LANE_D_NOTES; in-shell no-flag-URL boot completes when F lands F1.

Only web/js/citizens/sim.js + web/citizens_test.html changed (+ NOTES/progress).

Each of the 19 ped rigs carried 1-9 primitives / 1-3 materials (fleet 92 draws,
~116 at the 24-rig near cap). merge_ped.py (Blender) merges each to 1 primitive +
1 atlased material: join meshes -> pack material UVs into a non-overlapping atlas UV
-> EMIT-bake base-colours into one 1024 atlas -> single material. Skinning + skeleton
preserved (65 joints, walk/idle untouched, clips retarget unchanged). Fleet 92->19
draws (1/ped); near-cap 116->24 (79% cut). Verified in vendored GLTFLoader: all 19
load as SkinnedMesh + bind walk; man_suit poses byte-identical to original. Hands to
Lane D (D1) for full validation + full-density numbers, then F flips the roster.

c88d8906a2 Lane C R6 C2: map the 3 orphaned fittings (glass_case/magazine_rack/crate_stack)
Published R5, unconsumed until now:
- glb.js KIND_TO_GLB: glassCase->glass_case, magazineRack->magazine_rack,
  and a NEW crateStack primitive (fittings.js — a stack of crates) ->
  crate_stack. yaw 0 (validated on-screen).
- theme.js: crateStack in record + opshop (back-room dressing); glassCase
  added to milkbar; magazineRack added to pawn; milkbar magazineRack moved
  window->wall (dodges the door-counter congestion).
- layout.js: 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, so a min>=1 fitting
  reliably lands.

Validated (GLB on, baked depot): all 3 load + render planted/scaled/facing
right. Appearance glassCase 12/12 (toy/pawn/milkbar), magazineRack 12/12
(milkbar/pawn), crateStack ~11/12 (record/opshop). drawSweep still <=350

3b86b0c5b3 Lane F R6: ≤350 interior draw gate + fix interior renderer.info accumulation
Added an interior draw-budget sweep to flags_check.py (decision #2): enter all 9 shop types,
assert <=350 draws/room, dig on so it also confirms C1's batching kept ?dig=1 riffling.

The sweep caught a real bug in interior_mode.js (F-owned): the interior/dig render never called
renderer.info.reset() while the shell runs autoReset=false (for the composer), so
renderer.info.render.calls ACCUMULATED every frame — inflating any interior draw read (and the
HUD were it shown). Fixed: reset per interior frame before both the dig and the walk render.

True per-frame result after the fix: all 9 room types <=350 draws (worst dept 96) — C1 batching
(35981ad) verified. flags_check GREEN (regression + interior budget + 4 flag smokes + all-on combo).

Consumes the two orphaned street GLBs via the use-if-ready furniture path (fail-soft; ?noassets →

- Bins: genuinely sparse (~1/block, s+=78m, seeded side), decoupled from benches — country town not

- Bus shelters ON THE STREET GRAPH (future tram/bus stops): deterministic rule = midpoint of every
  MAIN edge with hashEdge(id)%3===0, road-side footpath by the kerb, long axis along the edge, open
  front to road -> 1-3/town (2 in seed 20261990). Solid oriented-rect collider (furniture now returns
  colliders; chunks.js merges them into getColliders) -> walk-into-it is blocked. Exported
  busShelterStops(plan) -> [{edgeId,x,z,yaw}] as the stop-list contract for the vehicle loop.
- Perf: worst view WITH rig-fleet citizens 94k tris / 148 draws (<=200k / <=300, big margin);
  deterministic; all-flags-on (winmap+dig+roster) composes clean, 0 errors. street_bin GLB is 3k tris

35981ade5f Lane C R6 C1: interior draw batching (<=350 draws/room law)
Review debt: book room was 1,245 draws GLB-on. Diagnosed two drivers —
multi-material stock boxes (one draw per face, 6x) and one mesh per stock
item — then batched:

- stock.js: stock boxes are single-material now; every stock mesh tagged
  userData.isStock.
- batch.js (new): batchRoom() two-tier merge, called from interiors.js before
  the GLB upgrade. Room-level merge of all isStock across every fitting
  (grouped by material, world transforms baked) + per-fitting merge of fixture
  frames (kept in-group so record bins stay raycast targets for ?dig=1 and the
  GLB upgrade can hide the fixture). Uses vendored BufferGeometryUtils
  mergeGeometries.
- glb.js: frame-hide is now by isStock tag (not frame-count), so batched
  fixtures hide while the room-level stock rides on the GLB.
- interior_test.html: drawSweep() asserts <=350 draws across all type x
  archetype (GLB off and on), folded into the soak; exposed as
  window.PROCITY_C.drawSweep for F's harness (hook in LANE_C_NOTES).

Result (drawSweep, seed 1990): GLB-off worst 152, GLB-on worst 313
(opshop/hall) — book 1,245 -> 189. Determinism 0 fails / 810, leak-free, dig
still riffles batched bins, worst warm build 38ms (<50), visually identical.

Flag ?roster=stream stays default-off; v1 path byte-identical (citizen-0 = R4 golden, passes
F1 flags-off regression). Full evidence memo in LANE_D_NOTES for the R7 default-on decision.

- Soak (in-shell, real town): 242 chunk builds/disposes over 3 walks -> 0 GPU geom/tex delta;
  16 shop enter/exit -> 0 delta; heap oscillates 50->77->54MB (GC, no leak); 188 chunk-keyed
  identities re-derive from seed; 0 console errors.
- Hours-aware density: added setNightLivelyChunks + NIGHT_LIVELY_FLOOR so the open-late video
  block stays lively at night (31->16) while ordinary streets go near-empty (65->6). F call-site
  documented (openLate lot -> chunkKey via sim.chunkKeyAt).
- Composition with ?dig=1: roster is street-tier, inert while interior/dig open (frame loop is
  street-branch-only); enter/exit record shops leak-free with stream on. No shared state with any
  v2 flag -> all-on combo safe.
- Budget gap found + made safe: each decimated ped is 8 sub-meshes / 2 materials = ~7 draws/rig,
  so full-density stream (perChunk 16) hits 356 draws (>300 street budget). Set default perChunk 8
  (291 draws, budget-safe today). The clean unlock for full-density default-on = merge ped
  sub-meshes by material (8->2 -> ~2 draws/rig -> perChunk 16 fits ~260); documented as R7 work,

The carried-over OSM plan source (no-showed R4–R5) lands complete, invariants green — a

- osm_fixture.js: 95 REAL inner-Melbourne secondhand/charity/music/book/toy/antique shops,

  CityPlan, centre on origin, report true 362×486 bbox, real shop names, one openLate video.
- index.js: generatePlanFor(seed, source) selector — default 'synthetic' BYTE-IDENTICAL
  (golden 0x3fa36874 untouched); 'osm' → the importer. generatePlanOSM exported for F.
- selfcheck.js: parameterized by source — OSM runs the full structural invariant suite

interior_mode.js (F-owned): aim at a userData.kind==='bin' fitting + press E -> createDig +

bin, press E, riffle its sleeves (scroll/drag), click the front sleeve to pull
it, BUY IT. Faithful to the source: hinge-forward riffle, pull-and-inspect
panel, procedural fwip/thunk audio.

- Riffle items = seeded procedural sleeves per bin via the stockAdapter(shop,
  'sleeve') seam (parody 90s-AU records now; real GODVERSE records feed the
  same seam in round 6+). Same bin ⇒ same order.
- Buy is STUBBED (toast + remove-from-bin; getCash returns a constant) —
  economy is round 6+ per integrator decision #1.
- Own scene + camera; leak-free: per-open GPU resources (sleeve textures/
  materials, crate parts) freed on every close(), persistent set freed on
  dispose(). Dig soak (20× enter/leave) → leakGeo 0 / leakTex 0.
- Flag-gated (?dig=1): buildInterior is UNTOUCHED, so ?dig=0 boot is
  byte-identical to v1 (prime law). The dig is wired only in the test page via
  an E-key raycast; F owns the shell input/mode seam — hook documented in

Implements the R3 design note (was design-only). Default-off; the v1 whole-graph path is
byte-identical when the flag is off (shell citizen-0 signature matches the R4 golden exactly).

- chunk-local identity keyed (seed, chunkKey, i) — same seed + chunk -> same residents,
  independent of town size / visit order; home edge picked from that chunk's edges.
- windowed spawn/despawn: hook-driven via Lane B's onChunkBuilt/onChunkDisposed (sim auto-

Round-5 §Lane C task 1 (the v1.1 gate). Map Lane E's R4-late re-exports in

- Double-till resolved (documented): counter_till carries its own till, so

a5e4b64a9d Lane D round-4: in-shell verify (D1) + decimated-ped validation (D2) + impostor tone-map fix (D3)
D1: peds+keepers upgrade placeholder->rig in the shell; 12 enter/exit shops leak-free
(renderer.info.memory back to exact baseline); determinism holds across reload; ?noassets
fully placeholder with zero ped fetches.

D2 (gate-3 critical path): validated Lane E's decimated fleet — all 19 peds <=3k tris
(1564-2805, avg 2450), rigs bind+animate (skinning/skeleton preserved), 0 broken meshes under
eviction churn, silhouettes+identity intact, atlas bakes clean. Near fleet ~59.6k tris at the
24-cap (was ~1.2M) — F clear to re-measure gate 3.

D3: fixed a real bug found only in-shell — the impostor self-tone-mapped (toneMapped:false +
in-shader ACES), correct on the direct-canvas test page but DOUBLE-tone-mapped under the shell's
EffectComposer/OutputPass. Reworked to a standard toneMapped:true material outputting linear via
three's own tonemapping/colorspace chunks, so it matches the near rigs on both render paths.
setExposure is now a no-op (exposure is global). Verified noon+night in-shell.

Only web/js/citizens/impostor.js changed (+ NOTES/progress/R4 shots).

34926324bd Lane C R4: hero props into rooms (arcade/booth/fridge/mixer/register)
Round-4 §Lane C — map the 4 new hero props + cash_register (manifest now
14 fittings), validate, measure, clean up.

- glb.js: map listening_booth→listeningCorner (record), drinks_fridge→fridge
  (milkbar), arcade_cabinet→new arcadeCabinet primitive (video focal prop).
  New attachCounterTop() places cash_register on every counter's till slot
  (hides the primitive till) + milkshake_mixer on the milk-bar benchtop;
  counter primitive + keeper stand untouched. All yaw 0 (no correction).
- fittings.js: new arcadeCabinet primitive (footprint/height matched to the
  GLB); counter exposes counterTop attach points + tags the primitive till.
- theme.js: arcadeCabinet in the video recipe; the 3 focal props (arcade,
  listeningCorner already, +) raised to priority 6 + placed first so the
  door-counter path loop can't pull them → 24/24 appearance.
- interiors.js: thread recipe.key to upgradeRoom (gates milkshake_mixer to
  milk bars).
- interior_test.html: load GLBs via the live depot: path (drop the deleted
  _local_glb localBase shim; ?localdepot=1 still works offline).

Validated (all via live depot): primitive sweep 810 {throws 0, pathFail 0,
detFail 0}; GLB-on soak {throws 0, path 0, det 0, leakGeo 0, leakTex 0,
worst 7.3ms}; all 5 new props render planted/scaled/facing right (contact
sheet docs/shots/laneC/glb_heroprops_r4.jpg). Room tris measured: milk-bar
GLB-on ~468k (drinks_fridge 77k + milkshake_mixer 73k) — reported to Lane E
as the #1 bake-pass target (not fixed, per integrator decision #2; interiors
render one-at-a-time so gate 3 is unaffected). record_crate still broken +
counter still oversized — both await Lane E re-export (C task 5). Deleted the
stale web/assets/_local_glb/ validation copy. qa.sh --strict GREEN.

5b8c806271 Lane A round 4: harden openLate contract (hours>=22 ⟺ openLate == the video), confirm F2
v1-tag round. Two confirmations + one hardening fix; qa.sh --strict GREEN (4/4).

A2 — openLate: F's night gate `hours[1] >= 22` matched 4–15 shops/seed (regular videos
jitter base-21 → 22), not the single landmark the shell assumes. Fixed in plan.js: regular
shops close by LATE_HOUR-1 (21:00); only the deterministically chosen openLate landmark
reaches ≥22, pick is now video-first. So `hours[1] >= 22` and the `openLate` field are the
same singleton, always the video rental (verified 15 seeds). Makes generation match
web/index.html:159-161 + soak.py:68 ("at night only the openLate shop is open"). selfcheck
asserts exactly-one / field⟺threshold / is-video. ALL GREEN 1301/1301.

A1 — Lane F's F2 permittedMax storeys scoping: confirmed 0 warnings across 7 seeds + a
false-negative test (injected video@2 in a scratch checker → caught every seed).

GOLDEN.hash 0x098eec2b → 0x3fa36874: intended A2 output change (a few videos close 21 not
22 for seed 20261990), NOT drift; F2 is tooling-only. Same lots/shops/types/names/skins.

9416d0ae08 Lane F R4: wire citizens.setExposure (F1) + permittedMax storeys-checker fix (F2)
F1: pass renderer.toneMappingExposure into CitizenSim each street frame so mid-tier
impostors track the animated day/night exposure (per LANE_D_NOTES). Verified: boots
clean, 0 console errors, exposure animates night 1.18 <-> midday 0.98.

F2: scope the consistency storeys check to permittedMax = max>=2 ? min(max+1,3) : max
(Lane A's corner-anchor rule, LANE_A_NOTES R3). Consistency now 0 warnings across 6
seeds; a single-storey type at >1 still trips. qa.sh --strict GREEN 4/4.

53f472d0d7 Lane F R3: hours/closed-shops + manifest/rig-fleet/?noassets + --depot + QA harness fixes
§3.5 hours: isOpen() gates enterShop — closed shops locked; at night only the openLate video
rental opens. §3.4: ?noassets (zero-network primitive path, verified via Performance API),
interior fitting GLB upgrades from the 3GOD depot (useGLB), and the rig-fleet upgrade
(models/peds/*.glb) so peds + keepers become shared GLB rigs, leak-free (shared loadGLB cache
proven, not a leak). qa.sh manifest gate now --depot (16 GLBs live) — GREEN 4/4.

Browser QA harness fixes so shots.py/soak.py actually run: DBG async-poll (was racing the async
install), plan via window.PROCITY (DBG.plan unexposed), enterShop bare-id, shop.lot is a lot id,
midday pin (§3.5 else closes shops mid-walk), GLB-cache warmup, budget peaks -> warnings (gate 3
clean pass is authoritative). Gate 2 soak PASS both asset modes; gate 4 asset-free PASS;
docs/shots/v1_tour/ (10 shots) + contact sheet captured.

Findings (LANE_F_NOTES §9): D/E decimate tri-heavy ped GLBs (gate 3 tris ~279k > 200k budget;
draws fine ~200/300). B: add 3 shots bookmark poses, fix headless composer letterbox in
DBG.shot(), render the §3.5 closed-facade visual (predicate window.PROCITY.isOpen).

fafd5a700a Lane B (Streetscape): round-3 — scene.environment for PBR peds + budget re-measure with citizens

- Re-measured worst continuous-walk view WITH citizens (pop 140, 125 active peds) via window.DBG: 263 scene / 275 total midday, 275 night -- <=300 everywhere. Radius-2 auto already the spawn default.

0985b05790 Lane D (Citizens): round-3 support — setExposure day/night hook + design notes
Fable round-3 §Lane D (all three tasks):
- sim.js: add CitizenSim.setExposure(e) passthrough so mid-tier billboards track the
  shell's per-segment renderer.toneMappingExposure (lighting.js animates it); stored so it
  survives the placeholder->rig atlas re-bake. Verified: uniform tracks 0.55<->2.3 and
  persists across the fleet upgrade.
- Keeper GLB-rig upgrade contract verified leak-free (my side): 15 enter/exit cycles with a
  fleet-backed rig keeper leave renderer.info.memory geo/tex exactly at baseline. Enabling it
  in the shell is one arg (pass `fleet` to KeeperManager) once F's §3.4 lands.
- LANE_D_NOTES: exact Lane F call sites for setExposure + keeper fleet-upgrade, and the
  chunk-streamed roster v1.5 design note (chunk-local identity, windowing, ownership/hand-off,
  budget, opt-in migration) — design only, no implementation.

Code touches only sim.js; no sibling files edited. Determinism still passes, near cap 24,
mixer 0.3ms, no console errors.

b20b3b08f5 Lane A round 3: verify F finding #5 (storeys) stale, harden selfcheck + document corner-anchor rule
Per ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS 'Lane A — on-call + one verification':
- F finding #5 (shops with storeys outside registry range) verified STALE across 8
  seeds: zero violations. Single-storey types (video/milkbar/stall) never exceed 1;
  the only shops above registry max are the intentional 3-storey corner anchors
  (tall-capable types), exactly per CITY_SPEC. Round-1 cornerBoost gate already
  prevents the reported bug. This is also the source of qa.sh's 5 benign storeys
  warnings (flagged for Lane F to scope to permittedMax).
- Hardened the selfcheck storeys assertion from the too-lax <=max(mx,3) to the exact
  permitted range (max>=2 ? min(max+1,3) : max), so a single-storey type exceeding 1
  now fails loudly. Proven non-vacuous. selfcheck.js only — plan output/fingerprint
  unchanged (golden 0x098eec2b still matches, confirmed per task 2).
- Documented the storeys corner-anchor rule in the CITY_SPEC schema.
- hours/openLate contract unchanged; ready for Lane F's §3.5 consumer.

qa.sh --strict GREEN (4/4). Committed atomically by pathspec (shared-tree race).

8577c48594 Lane C: keeper stand pose on the counter contract (re-land on main)
buildInterior now returns room.counter = { mesh, pose, stand } and tags the counter
interactable with userData.keeperStand. stand = {x,z,ry} where a shopkeeper stands
(service side, facing the customer, rig-front = local -Z per keepers.js), clamped
in-bounds. Deterministic; purely additive.

Note: commit 4235060 carries this message but actually contains Lane A's round-2
content (shared-index race, flagged in 3e98f05). This commit lands the real Lane C
change — identical content to stray branch lane-c/keeper-stand (85438b5), which is

063a959e29 Lane E (assets): pipeline, manifest + 23 on-device facade skins
Audit -> normalize (16 GLBs + thumbs) -> web/assets/manifest.json (the
contract Lanes B/C/D read) -> facade gap-fill.

Step 4 facades generated locally on the M3 Ultra via MODELBEAST
flux_local (FLUX.2-klein-4B / MLX on MPS): 23 skins, free, ~5.7s each,
blank signboard, eyeballed, harvested, mapped to shop types. Every
registry type now has >=3 facades (stall 2->4, closing the Lane A gap).
Corner-lot -side walls tagged face:"side" with empty types so no shop
front ever selects a windowless wall. manifest validates green.

Still gated on John (both optional -- the game runs asset-free):
publish the 16 GLBs to 3GOD (needs GOD3_PW), MeshGod hero props (~$2.70).

9eb1acc61b Lane D (Citizens): deterministic LOD crowd — rigs/impostors/keepers + test page
Populate the town at city scale, on budget, deterministic per-citizen identity:
- rigs.js — ported 90sDJsim rig stack: mixamorig canonicalisation so one shared
  walk clip drives all 19 peds, head-bone height-normalise, feet-plant, pooled
  near-tier actors with walk<->idle crossfade
- impostor.js — 4-yaw sprite-atlas baker + instanced billboards: whole mid crowd
  in 1 draw call, tone-matched to the ACES near rigs
- sim.js — deterministic roster, footpath lanes off the street graph, near/mid/far
  LOD with hysteresis + hard 24-cap, staggered mixer budget, time-of-day density
- placeholder.js — seeded low-poly box humanoids (frame-one population + ?noassets)
- keepers.js — one keeper per shop at the counter, idle + greet-turn
- 21 ped GLBs (byte-identical from 90sDJsim), citizens_test.html harness,
  LANE_D_NOTES.md, 5 beauty shots

Verified in-browser: 200 citizens at max mixer 0.2ms (budget 2ms), near capped 24,
determinism holds (200 identities match seed), no T-pose, ?noassets crash-free.
Consumes Lane A plan.streets with zero adapter. Six adversarial-review bugs fixed
(non-deterministic fleet order, shared-resource disposal on pool eviction,
impostor colour-management).
