D found katoomba's pub 1,000m from the retail cluster — a gig with no passing crowd. Measuring all
five towns first showed it was SYSTEMIC: 11 of 15 venues sat with <3 shops within 160m (newtown's were
0/0/1 — every venue stranded). After the bias: 0 of 15. Katoomba's pub 1 → 9. Castlemaine cleared without
needing the floor exception the brief anticipated.
- pickVenues builds a CLUSTER-ADJACENT field first (>= CLUSTER_MIN 3 shops within CLUSTER_R 160m), then the
kind flavors (pub corner / band_room fringe / rsl off-spine) bias WITHIN that field rather than overriding
it (per the brief: biases, not absolutes) — a fringe band_room in the cluster beats one a kilometre from
anyone. A town with no cluster at all falls back to the pool.
- SYNTHETIC FROZEN BY CONSTRUCTION, not by luck. The brief assumed a blanket filter would be a no-op because
'the synthetic town is one dense cluster anyway'. Measurement says otherwise: 4 synthetic candidates PER
SEED sit under the threshold (min cluster 0-1), so a blanket filter WOULD have moved the frozen golden.
Gated on plan.source === 'osm' (undefined on synthetic) — impossible rather than unlikely. The marched
fixtures are 'osm' but genuinely dense (min cluster 3/11/13) ⇒ verified no-op.
- Only the GIG goldens moved (venue selection is gig-layer; base town goldens untouched): katoomba
0xbf586b77, newtown 0xacdb3eee, fremantle 0xcf3426fc, bendigo 0x646b2c23, castlemaine 0xf9713a69.
classic 0x3fa36874 / gig 0xb1d48ea1 / marched fixtures FROZEN. selfcheck ALL GREEN 66419/66419;
scaffold + consistency GREEN; cross-process deterministic.
- FYI: E's v4.0 pack (glebe/marrickville/newcastle) already boots clean through my loader (validates + full
suites pass), listed UNPINNED — I pin the pack in R22; it does not gate the beta tag.
Handshake → C + D: cluster bias landed, goldens re-pinned, start your verifies (before/after table in
LANE_A_NOTES §R21).

Closes the gap Fable caught (hud.js:11 still hardcoded REAL_TOWNS). The real-town list now comes from E's
web/assets/towns/index.json (procity-towns-index/1), so it grows with the town pack instead of being edited
in hud.js. Verified fresh Chromium. Nothing else touched -- tram/ground work is done and verified.
Fail-soft by construction: createHUD is synchronous, so the picker is built immediately from the fallback
literal and UPGRADED IN PLACE when the index resolves -- if the index never arrives, a working list is
already on screen.
- index present -> real names/states/shop counts: "Katoomba, NSW · 80 shops", "Fremantle, WA · 80 shops",
"Newtown, NSW · 72 shops", "Bendigo, VIC · 36 shops", "Castlemaine, VIC · 24 shops" (roads:false -> "· marched").
- ?noassets -> the fetch is SKIPPED entirely (asset law; the shell doesn't load town caches there either).
Measured: 0 index fetches, fallback list, 0 errors.
- anything wrong with the index -> the fallback simply stands. Exercised the exact chain: 404, network error,
malformed JSON, towns:[], towns-not-an-array, junk entries (no key) -> none throws, none rebuilds from junk;
only a good index rebuilds.
REAL_TOWNS_FALLBACK is retained ONLY as that fallback (comment says so), no longer the source of truth.
Verified live: booting katoomba_real shows "Katoomba, NSW · 80 shops" pre-selected; fits (193px of 230px max);
0 page errors; navigation unchanged (onchange is set once on the <select>, so rebuilding options never clears it).
-> F: unchanged from R19 -- NO shell seam (selector is entirely hud.js, already built by createHUD) and it
lives inside #pc-hud so setVisible(false) hides it for the beta money shot. The gating call is still yours.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
next commit. v1 caches (roads absent) stay valid — the marched fallback — so nothing shipped regresses.
- 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.
- E's 5 existing v1 caches re-validate clean; selfcheck ALL GREEN.

F wired the last mile of the real-map scout and gated the whole matrix.
- 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
?plansrc=osm&town=bendigo_real boots a REAL AU town in the engine (the gap: E's caches were on disk +

Castlemaine at the 6-shop floor still lands a 3-venue district. The existing CityPlan contract eats real
Australian geography: the evidence John charters v4 = THE REAL MAP on.

The R16 seated drummer sat bolt-upright (the sit clip can't carry a pelvic tilt
— Hips.quaternion is unusable on these rigs). Fix: a small constant forward torso
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
seated block) and seatedLean runs for seated figs only. Verified with the lean
live — walkers 188/188 face travel, keeper standing rig (stature 1.718,

{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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

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
- index.html: rosterOf=(id)=>citizens.tonightRoster(id) into interior_mode; onAdmit=(e)=>citizens.recordVenueEntry(id,e)
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
(C's finding — interior gate is draws <=54, no violation). 0 console errors.

The compat alias delegating to the primary venue is gone — every read is now keyed by venueShopId.
B swept the cross-lane readers in R14; this migrates F's own tools + the spec, one atomic commit.
- gig_state.js: delete the alpha-shape alias block + the now-unused primaryId/P; update() just ticks all latches
- flags_check.py + gig_shot.py: .venueShopId->venueShopIds[0], .state->stateOf(id), .cover->coverOf(id), .bandName->bandNameOf(id)
- CITY_SPEC \S v3: delete the two alias sentences, add the omitted nightOf(id) to the accessor list
selfcheck 14264/14264 green (base 0x3fa36874, gig 0x4f4a549d); flags_off + smoke_gigs green, 0 warn.

The R13 backline plant sat down-stage (stage.z + 0.15), 0.29 m from the bass rig
— it interpenetrated the bassist (C's R14 audit caught it). Move it up-stage-right
to C's blessed pose (stage.x + w*0.36, deckY, stage.z - d*0.22): 0.75 m clear of
the bass, behind the front line, flanking C's primitive ampStacks. Pose-only.
Verified: draw/tri delta 0 (same GLB moved — pub 50 draws / ~183k tris, <=350);
?noassets unaffected (amp is fleet-gated dressing → 0 props, band placeholders,
no crash). No other code — continuity + the ratified sit-clip deferral are closed.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).

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.

- 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.

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).

- theme.js: band_room (small/scuzzy tin shed) + rsl (carpet-and-flock club) venue recipes,
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.
Lane F: bump flags_check band==3 -> ==4 (tools/flags_check.py:674,794) — RED by design.

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.
CITY_SPEC §v3.0-beta + LANE_A_NOTES §Round 13 updated in this commit.

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.

- web/js/world/venue.js (new): createVenuePresentation — renders E's poster skins at plan.posters with band-name overprint (nameZone, seeded template, flat fallback if JPEG missing); lit pub marquee + bulb row over the door, update(gigState) ramps the glow. 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.
- Prime flag law: inert/absent without the gig layer; goldens frozen (no citygen edits, selfcheck 3074/3074); byte-identical flags-off boot.
- Verified live on a gig plan: THE WOMBATTS posters over band-photo art, The Thornbury Hotel lit at night, spill gain ~0.14. F wiring documented in LANE_B_NOTES; streetlamp-pool stretch deferred.

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.

v3.0-alpha band room. New pub recipe (venue:true): stage + PA + amps at the back wall (new stage/paSpeaker/ampStack fittings, GLB slots stage/pa_speaker/amp for E), bar counter (keeper), sticky carpet, blocked back door = green room.
buildInterior returns for venues: room.watchPoints[] (6-8 seeded audience poses {x,z,ry,dance} facing the stage, dance ~1/3, counter.stand ry convention); room.stage {x,z,w,d,deckY,frontZ,bandPoses[3]} for Lane D's band; room.audio.gigKey ('gig-'+genreKey) set when Lane F passes opts.gig.
Flags-off byte-identical: venue code runs only for recipe.venue on its own seed sub-streams; non-pub rooms have watchPoints:[], stage:null, unchanged placement/audio.
Verified: 40-seed pub sweep (0 throws/carves/path-fails, 8 watchPoints, dance 0.38) + 60-room mixed soak (0 det/path fails, leak geo0/tex0, worst 19ms). Non-pub unchanged. Interface for D/F: docs/LANES/LANE_C_PUB.md. scaffold + manifest green.

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,
endSeg:5,cover}; cover ~half free / half $2-$10 (F charges at the door).
- Band names: bandName(seed) generator (90s pub-rock) + OPTIONAL web/assets/custom_bands.json
drop-in (priority into the pool; absent → pure generator, no fetch under ?noassets).
- plan.posters: ~6 seeded {id,gigId,x,z,ry} for Lane B.
- Closing-time debt paid: isOpen(shopOrHours,hour) exported (half-open law as code, D consumes).
- map.html?gigs=1: venue ring + poster pins + gig panel line. Flags-off unchanged.
Self-check ALL GREEN 3074/3074 (gigSuite ×2 sources, flags-off≡base, gig golden
0xa6ae5a5e). qa.sh --strict GREEN 6/6. Verified in-browser both modes. CITY_SPEC v3
section + LANE_A_NOTES handshake for C/D/B/F. Atomic pathspec commit (shared-tree race).

Interior audio (interior_mode): enter -> PROCITY.audio.playInterior(room.audio) with Lane C's
{musicKey,toneKey} (fade in), exit -> stopInterior() (0.7s fade). Guarded/no-op when
muted/noassets/pre-gesture -- silent-and-happy.
New smoke_audio gate (flags harness, fresh Chromium per the R10 standing law): pre-gesture silence
(ctx not unlocked), 0 boot errors, ?mute=1 muted, ?noassets=1 zero audio fetches, enter/exit
AudioNode leak-free (12 cycles, 8 shops with a music bed, live sources bounded at 5). Gesture via
keyboard -- a mouse-click gesture tripped PointerLockControls in headless.
scaffold_check: scoped the Math.random generation-ban to exempt runtime FX PLAYBACK
(web/js/world/audio.js) -- Lane B's footstep SFX variant/gain jitter is transient, not world
generation (which shop plays which bed is seeded upstream in interiors.js). Noted to B.
Soak with audio on PASS (heap 48MB stable, 0 errors, no drift). qa.sh --strict GREEN 6/6.

- web/js/world/audio.js: one AudioContext unlocked on first gesture; day/night ambience crossfade, rain (weather.intensity), footsteps, shop-door music spill (nearest open music-shop, distance-gain), tram rumble+bell, enterShop SFX. Consumes Lane E manifest.audio (3x retry). Self-ticks off window.PROCITY.
- House audio law verified live: silent pre-gesture (0 fetches), ?mute=1 silent surface (0 fetches), ?noassets=1 zero audio/manifest fetches, lazy-load (8.7MB<=25MB), no per-frame alloc.
- window.PROCITY.audio for Lane F: playInterior({musicKey,toneKey})/stopInterior (street beds duck while inside), playSfx, setMasterGain, mute, state diag. Confirms Lane C room.audio={musicKey,toneKey} contract.
- Small guarded [Lane B R11 audio] loader in index.html.

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).
Maps mirror the manifest per-type types arrays: record/milkbar/video/dept/arcade always play their bed; other types room-tone-only except a seeded ~1-in-3 general radio (the 'general'-tagged milk-bar bed).
Verified 9 types x 8 seeds: 0 bad keys, 0 nondeterminism, all keys resolve + match manifest type membership, deterministic per shop. Contract + F wiring: docs/LANES/LANE_C_AUDIO.md.
