293a82c5e8 R42 THE LOOK: five lane-runs — the pub is dressed, the decks read, and the town is cast
John looked at R41's proof shots and named three faults. All three are fixed, at zero draw
cost, and every lane corrected somebody's numbers on the way — including its own.

E-LOOK (§42.1+§42.2a) — THE PREMISE WAS WRONG. "The pub props have no texture" (my brief,
quoting E's own R41 note) is false: all 37 carry COLOR_0 and three.js renders it. The colour
was BLEACHED — jukebox at saturation 0.02, 15 assets under 0.05; what the source library
called colour was baked AO. So the fix was a palette imposed on colour already present, in
place: 46 assets, draw delta +0 and tri delta +0 on every one, proved the honest way — the
concatenated POSITION/NORMAL/TEXCOORD/index bytes are sha1-identical to R41, so footprints
and origins provably did not move. (A first-pass bbox check ignored node rotations and
"found" 3 phantom violations; thrown out for the byte comparison.) The banquette was 1990s
office teal and went burgundy; the beer umbrella was white and went brewery green.
THE DECK, diagnosed before being touched: 7 greys, chassis 0.05 luminance on a 0.033 bench =
1.21:1, and the one high-contrast feature was INSIDE-OUT (white ring around a dark disc; a
turntable is a dark record on a light platter). Now Technics silver at 6.74:1, black vinyl,
red start/stop. Node contract re-read from the shipped GLB: 4/4 + 1/1 PASS. Filed to R43,
not fixed: deck_1200_rigged has NO PLINTH (bottom 43mm of 119mm lost to R41 join damage).

E-CAST (§42.3) — 19 of 24 ship. Rejected: comical_luchador_01 (Mixamo Ch43, purple mask
reading EL CHUPACABRA, identified from the file's own material name), a 3-heads-tall cartoon
child, a robed wuxia elder, a WW2 infantryman — and dj_phrtt_01, AN UNCLOTHED BODY whose only
texture is a bare-skin atlas, which was in the DEFAULT crowd and live on the depot. It is the
R41 deny-list's failure class through a different door: an innocent name from another
pipeline. Only rendering all 24 and LOOKING found it.
Ruling 2 (prefer CC0) was REFUSED ON MEASUREMENT: Quaternius is 25 nodes / 23 joints and ZERO
of 64 canonical tracks bind — it would have loaded silently and never animated. Replacements
came from Mixamo's Ch## pool, filtered to the contract-clean 65-bone family (candidates ran
65..99 bones; named characters carry facial/hair bones).
THE LICENCE GAP WAS UNREAD, NOT MISSING: every source FBX carries ApplicationVendor "Mixamo,
Inc." internally. Adobe royalty-free, no attribution owed. B's amber rows are now real.

B (§42.5) — MY ASSIGNED FIX WAS USELESS AND B PROVED IT. document.fonts.ready shipped, then
measured: the atlas canvases are already byte-identical across boots, the game ships NO
webfonts (document.fonts.size === 0), and ready fires 50ms BEFORE the first fillText. The
real cause of unreproducible bookmarks is the wall-clock CROWD — 983 changed px of 921,600,
ALL in the pedestrian band; 0 px with the crowd out. New DBG.freeze() takes stable bookmarks
2/5 -> 5/5. Also found: ?pop=0 boots 140 citizens (0 is falsy against the default).
THE BENCH: D's filing correct on both counts. Front-vs-road 90.0deg -> 0.0deg, min=med=max
over 60/60 instances; the streetlight arm now reaches 1.05m over the road where it reached
0.00. Both used a base yaw that pointed +Z down the street while their own comments claimed
otherwise — the side term was already right, which is why it survived 41 rounds of reading.
Also: on any box with CDN access 9 of 60 benches are the depot GLB, 90deg out from the house
law — normalised at the geometry, once, at load. benchStops(plan) exported as one truth.

C (§42.2b) — 122 vs 123 WAS THE CAMERA ASPECT, and nobody was wrong. Draw counts are
post-frustum-cull and the sweep camera inherits the window aspect: 1.25->116, 1.60->122 (C's
harness), 1.778->123 (F's), 2.37->124. Pinned MEASURE_ASPECT=16/9 with a 1.25 control.
E's "keep the bench dark" advice was measured and declined with reason (deck-vs-bench was
already 4.73:1, over threshold). "Reads as a black box" is a claim about pixels, so C measured
pixels: near-black in the booth crop 57.5% -> 26.7%, distinct colours 228 -> 389. Bench
rebuilt 3->7 boxes with an open record bay; headphones on the mixer; faceDoor aims booths at
the player's entry — alignment within 45deg went 49% -> 92%. Two bugs found by looking: a
fitting could be planted INSIDE A WALL (0.77m of a 0.86m half-depth in plaster), and every
booth part sat 25mm sunk into its own worktop.

D (§42.4) — five swaps IN PLACE at the same index (pickRig indexes these arrays and pedIndex
is in the identity signature and the impostor atlas; removal would renumber the town).
Identity signature pre- vs post-swap: 0 differing lines of 150 — who each citizen is did not
move, only which body they wear. dj_phrtt_01 verified gone AT THE WIRE, not from source: a
fresh default boot fetches 32 ped GLBs, none retired.
THE CONTROL ARM FOUND A 41-ROUND-OLD BUG: the ped being RETIRED, comical_boy_01, binds only
3,132 of 3,460 tracks — six thumb bones lack the mixamorig prefix. It had been silently
dropping six tracks per clip since it shipped. Testing the thing being thrown away found it.
Imported B's benchStops mid-round: sitters now 0.0deg to the road, signatures byte-identical
across the rewire. Corrected F's filing: the browse smoke was flaky-by-construction (a 16-25s
race against a live sim), not deterministically red.

F (§42.6) — qa.sh --strict 24 passed / 0 failed / 0 warn / 0 skipped. New Gate 11: period law
(0/5 banned; CONTROL: R41's roster trips all five) and roster licence (24/24, 0 unverified;
CONTROL: an amber row turns 20 red). r41_shots.py promoted warn -> strict.
R41'S BYTE-HASH BAN IS REVERSED AND ITS STATED REASON WITHDRAWN AS WRONG. A gate may pin a
hash under five in-run assertions (classic+flags boot, freeze().stillLive all-false, a second
freeze removing 0 draws, settle until DBG.info() stops changing, hash with the dbg panel
hidden): 5/5 bookmarks now pin to one sha256 over 3 fresh boots. Two findings got it there —
the chunk streamer (a fixed settle is a bet on load) and the fps readout, which with
everything else frozen was the last thing moving at 53-62 px.
?pop=0 fixed (Number.isFinite) — a no-op for 35 rounds. Three red flags_check gates fixed.

Street: noon 282 · NIGHT 291/300 — the nine-draw margin INTACT, every R41 row reproducing to
the digit. Interior at pinned 16:9: 123 @ dept/auto, margin 227. selfcheck 157,647/157,647,
0x5f76e76 unmoved. No tag — John's playtest rules the epoch.

78f49f7113 Lane D R41 §41.3: the town stops walking — 99.3% to 78.1%, at zero draws
THE ROUND IN ONE MEASUREMENT (12 samples x 146 active, ?clips=0 vs default — a new flag that
turns off the library and nothing else): walking 99.3% -> 78.1% · bench-sit 0 -> 9.5% · lean
0 -> 7.1% · stopped in own idle 0.4% -> 5.1% · DISTINCT CLIPS ACROSS THE CROWD 4 -> 20.
The town was 99.3% people walking because standing still had nowhere to happen.

Wiring: new postures.js + clipbank.js. idles.glb (10/10) drives a per-citizen deterministic
idle on every near-tier actor plus the seeded shopkeeper. locomotion gives 33.7% of walkers a
shopping bag. sitlean (8/8, lazy) puts 4 sits on Lane B's ACTUAL benches and 4 leans on
shopfront walls. browse (5/8, lazy) is a real BROWSE state at C's browse points, seeded per
(shopId, slot). venue (5/6, lazy) widens the gig crowd, plus a publican pouring and a record
keeper in headphones. social (0/8) is never fetched — two-person conversation needs a paired
state machine, filed to R42.

Cost: boot = 4 requests, 1.24 MB / 16 clips resident; the rest lazy on first need; heap delta
+3.34 MB; mixer median 0.1 ms both arms. ?clips=0 / ?classic=1 / ?noassets=1 fetch ZERO clips
— not even clipbank.js (dynamic import). No shell edit needed.

DRAWS: +0 on every bookmark (street_noon 193, crossroads 108, night_crowd 128, market_square
94, night_neon 111, interior 110 — identical both arms). Ruling 4 respected exactly.

DETERMINISM: 150 citizens, two fresh contexts, byte-equal posture signature. Controls: seed+1
differs; EVERY clip GLB delayed 2 s -> identical signature (posture is a pure function of
(citySeed, id), never of residency). 6 new streams collide with none of the 12 pre-R41 keys.

TWO FINDINGS THAT CHANGED THE DESIGN: the idle pool was INVISIBLE — wired only to the R17/R29
node loiter, so only 0.8% of citizens were ever stopped; and the lean never fired at all (0 in
a 9 s run). Both moved to the patronage stride check. Bench stations are GATED not trusted:
14/14 derived stations coincide with real instanced geometry within 2 cm, and the control
(same stations offset 2 m) matches 0/14. Filed to B: one benchStops(plan) export retires the
mirror, and furniture.js puts the bench's front ALONG the street rather than facing the road,
contradicting its own comment.

Leak: +0 geometries, +1 texture over 6 enter/exit cycles. Goldens 157,647/157,647, 0x5f76e76.

2fd4c1cf79 Lane D R36 w2.5 (Fable ruling): CLASSIC KEEPS ITS PEOPLE — the 5 DJ bodies gate out of ?classic's pool
b339402 appended the 5 trellis'd DJ bodies to PED_NAMES.normal unconditionally, so
?classic=1 fetched them and its seeded crowd pool widened 17->22 (F's held §36.4 warn).
Ruled option (b): the five gate OUT of classic, mirroring the sit/look/dance !CLASSIC
clip gates. classic is the v2 town INCLUDING ITS PEOPLE; the DJs walk every other boot.

MECHANISM (rigs.js only — zero shell edits): PED_NAMES.normal restored to the covenanted
base 17 (exact pre-July-20 list); the five move to PED_NAMES.djs; loadPedFleet gains
djs = dance (default tracks the existing dance flag, which the shell already passes as
!CLASSIC). Roster = djs ? [...normal, ...djs] : normal — the five APPEND, so no base
slot renumbers: default boot's 22-list is byte-identical to the pre-ruling list and
classic's 17-list is byte-identical to pre-b339402. pickRig maps through pool.length,
so 17 restores the exact pre-July-20 crowd mapping, not merely the width.

MEASURED (fresh contexts, port-isolated no-store servers, seed 20261990):
- ?classic=1: ZERO of the 5 DJ GLBs fetched (21 ped-GLB fetches = 17+2 bodies +
  walk+idle) · pool 17 normal / 19 all · 129-citizen census all base-17 u comical,
  zero DJ · 0 console errors.
- default: all 5 fetched · pool 22/24 · 37 DJ-bodied street peds · F's organic gig
  proof preserved (pinned seed's venue crowd includes dj_phrtt_01 + woman_dj_02) ·
  0 console errors.
- IDENTITY vs pre-July-20: classic booted on a shadow tree with b339402^ rigs.js —
  full 129-citizen (id, pedRoll, pedIndex, pedName) census BYTE-IDENTICAL to the
  gated tree's classic boot. Same crowd, ped for ped, as before July 20.

Known side effect (noted §36): citizens_test.html passes no opts -> its dev harness
shows 17+2; not a covenanted surface, {djs:true} restores it if wanted.

046668e5af feat(gig): club dancers play real dance clips, not procedural sway
loadPedFleet gains dance:!CLASSIC (mirrors the sit/look gate) → fleet.danceClips
= 4 mesh-free mixamorig club dances (party/medium/drink/sway). _make picks one
per dancer off a fresh gigdance seeded stream (zero impact on existing draws /
the same-seed-same-crowd covenant), spawnRig plays it, and update() drops the
fake bounce for real-clip dancers (procedural sway stays as the classic/noassets
fallback). ?classic fetches nothing, byte-identical.

Verified: default boot fetches all 4 dance GLBs (gated load runs), both modules
parse + export clean, page boots. Same clips + _canon/_rotOnly/spawnRig proven
animating in 90sDJsim (its crowd/rigs.js is this file ported).

10025d4082 Lane D R29 (v6 Spike 1): look.glb bound and wired — peds glance, feet planted (wave 0)
The spike reaches the game. E's look.glb (mesh-free, 65 joints, 6.5s 'Look') is bound
through the fleet gate; street peds now glance around during window-shop stops. `lean`
is absent and never existed (E's R28 measurement). Goldens untouched — clips sit outside
every plan hash; the synthetic anchor stays R27's amended 0x5f76e76.

WIRED: loadPedFleet(base, {sit, look}) -> fleet.lookClip, the exact twin of the R16 sit
gate; the shell passes look:!CLASSIC so ?classic fetches NOTHING (a raw fetch would have
breached the zero-fetch-delta covenant — E flagged it, the gate is the answer).
makeActor gains lookA, played only on setLooking(true) — crossfaded (0.3s), not snapped
like sit, since idle->idle-variant reads naturally and there's no replant for a fade to
fight. sim.js gains a dedicated `glance` rng stream, rolled ALWAYS (deterministic) but
only flipped when a clip exists => classic inert at the source. Mutually exclusive with
bench-sit (sit rolls first at 35%, glance takes 40% of the rest). RigPool threads
lookClip; release snaps the glance off so no rig is pooled mid-look.

THE FINDING — my own prediction was wrong, and the measurement caught it. I wrote that a
STANDING clip needs no foot replant ("no hip descent to recover — that trap was sit's
alone"). Measured over the full loop: idle keeps the lowest bone within 4cm of the ground
(-0.04..0.00); look.glb ranges -0.009..+0.205 — the ped HOVERS up to 20.5cm, drifting
through the loop. Same trap, different coat: _rotOnly drops the Hips POSITION track for
rig-height independence, so the clip's authored weight-shift dip can't move the hips and
comes out as the FEET RISING. Sit's one-time replant can't fix it — the float varies per
frame.

FIX: plantFeet() — the per-frame twin of sit's replant. Reset to bind plant -> measure
posed feet -> drop inner by float/scale. ABSOLUTE (reset->measure->correct), never
incremental, so it cannot drift. Reproduces the authored motion exactly: the hips dip
relative to the ground instead of the feet leaving it. Scale-aware like sit's. Foot bones
cached once; cost paid only by glancing peds, on frames their mixer ran (both mixer sites
— the drummer's post-mix lean taught that coupling rule).

PROOFS: foot float 0.205m -> 0.000m (pinned); head yaw sweep span 1.735 (-0.85..+0.89) so
the glance still animates; ?classic — no look fetch, no Look action on any rig, glance
never flips (0); identity signature unchanged, no glance term; sit AND glance never
simultaneous (0); 0 NaN; goldens 0x5f76e76 untouched. A glancing ped is NOT tagged
seated/posed — standing pose at standing stature, so F's no-giants gate needs no arm.

D->F: the pose gate HAS ITS SUBJECT — un-SKIP it. Fresh ?localdepot=1 boot shows a ped
glancing on the footpath, head sweeping, feet planted.
Spike 2 readiness: plantFeet() is the general machinery the brief asked for ("data, not
new code") — riffle and wall-lean should land as clip + roll; the lean's wall-contact
placement is the only genuinely new part.
FLAGGED (A's file, A rests): selfcheck.js:301 still says "the synthetic golden above stays
0x3fa36874" while line 267 pins the amended 0x5f76e76. A stale comment, not a rule — but
the same species as the epoch's five holds, so: flagged, not touched.

64ded4ea01 Lane D R17 (v3.2): bench-sit loiter (ledger #2) — the carried R16 stretch
Street peds occasionally sit during a window-shop loiter (verandah/footpath
edge). makeActor gains an opt-in setSitting with a SCALE-AWARE re-plant (the
R16 spawnRig re-plant was scale-naive; the sim scales these rigs per-citizen),
played only on sit so walkers/placeholders/?classic are byte-identical. Seeded
via a dedicated benchsit rng stream (no shift to turn/loit/patron; identity
signature unchanged). Classic inert at the source (roll gated on sitClip).

In-shell (default, seed 20261990): head bone 1.466->1.070, bone span
1.667->1.299 (in seated gate [0.9,1.5]), feet re-plant to y=0 and hold through
sit-idle, stand-up restores inner.y 0.929 byte-for-byte, procitySeated tagged,
innerRotY:pi throughout. 9 distinct peds sat naturally per soak. Classic:
fleetSitClip:false, everSat:0. Plan golden 0x3fa36874 unchanged. Draws 35/tris 6k.

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
— 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,
hasSeatBone:false, innerRotY pi). No existing consumer moves.

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.

- 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.

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.

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).
