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.

4514cb94b5 Lane B R38 (v8 WAVE 1, INHABITATION): all four runtime items — the whole round costs +1 walked draw
The town is inhabited: 23 towns finally differ, 181 back yards have a Hills Hoist with washing on it,
a magpie owns one street for six weeks of the year, and six point sources put a life off-screen.

MEASURED, walked, not bookmarked — two port-isolated no-store servers (:8472 = `git archive HEAD`,
:8471 = treatment, assets symlinked so E's mid-round wave is identical on both sides), 102 8-metre
spine steps at yaw 0, each frame fully streamed, through the shell's own composer:

  worst draws  224 -> 225   (+1)
  worst tris   89,502 -> 93,298   (+3,796 of ~75k spare)
  sum draws over 102 frames  16,676 -> 16,663   (-13)

The citizen sim and the tram are hidden identically on both sides, and that IS the measurement: with
them live the same step read control 346 vs treatment 232, because peds spawn on wall-clock time.
`?yards=0` reproduces HEAD exactly (224 / 89,502 / 16,676). Isolated at a fixed pose: washing +1 draw
/ +512 tris, magpie +1 draw / +182 tris, every yard box prop +0 draws.

§1.2 THE CHARACTER VECTOR — +0 draws, +0 tris, classic byte-identical BY CONSTRUCTION.
`townCharacter(null)` returns the frozen v1 literals and a null tint keeps the SAME material cache key,
so classic gets the same object, not a copy of it: default-boot ground hashes identical to HEAD
mesh-for-mesh, `?classic=1` hashes unmoved from R37. There is no `if (classic)` in the ground path.
The sky feeds the BASE skyName, never `setSky` (a one-way latch that would have killed R32's dawn dome
on all 23 towns). The vacuous arm is per-town: `newtown_godverse` / `redhill_godverse` carry `state: ''`,
so a per-corpus arm would have dropped exactly those two silently. 21 distinct palettes across 23 towns.
`gravel` and `reddust` were not unwired but UNWIREABLE — their `use` values named no slot ground.js had;
making the slot addressable fixed it at the root, and both are selected now. E's three new grounds
landed mid-round and the upgrade was a name change in one table, which is what procedural-first is for.

§1.4 BACKYARD AUSTRALIA — inside boxMats, +0 draws. Houses inset off their boundaries so there is a
yard; 36 `yard` lots that had rendered as blank shopfront sheds since v1 are now fenced blocks with a
hoist, a shed and often a tank. Collision byte-identical (the lot rect is where the fence stands).

THE WASHING SHIPS, and I wrote the inverted weight rather than dropping it. The shipped top-weighted
mode moves a hem 0.10 cm calm / 0.67 cm gusty; `pegged` gives 4.5 cm / 31 cm — ~52x, and at the hem
instead of the pegs. The `canopy` string is byte-for-byte unchanged, so the gum-tree covenant argument
is untouched. It is ONE TOWN-WIDE InstancedMesh (1 draw at any N, cap 256, proximity-first off the R37
chunk seam) rather than per-chunk, which would have been +1 x 31 live chunks = 4x the whole margin.
Zero on every real town (no hoists ⇒ no mesh) and zero at night.

§1.3 THE MAGPIE — +1 draw on screen, exactly 0 otherwise; 182 tris of 900. Territory scales with the
road graph: 6 on the 6.78 km synthetic town, 157 on bendigo's 188.6 km / 2,593 edges, nearest 120 m
from spawn. The latch sets, the day roll clears it, localStorage gains no key and the save never
mentions it. `swoopPos()` is exported and pure. The hat stays cut.

MY OWN SEASON MECHANISM WAS VACUOUS AND THE SWEEP CAUGHT IT: keyed on citySeed alone it produced a
CONSTANT, because the town key is deliberately off the plan — 24 of 24 towns were 214 days from
swooping season, and it would have gated green because `?magpie=1` forces it. Re-keyed on
(citySeed, townKey): `newtown_real` is in season on arrival on the default seed, marrickville is 8 days
out, and 12.9% of 1,000 seeds put the synthetic default in season against a design ratio of 11.5%.

§1.1 THE AUDIO LAYER — six new mixer layers, zero draws, zero tris, seeded anchors, distance falloff,
AND A StereoPannerNode PER LAYER, so direction is real (measured spread -0.71..+0.85) instead of a
limitation written into the notes. Day-of-week derived locally. All six anchored on the default boot;
3 of 6 report `no-anchor` on real towns rather than being faked onto shopfronts. The falsifiability
control — one manifest key renamed away, served from a third port — makes that source report
`no-entry`, 0 plays, never `audible`, with the other five unchanged and zero console errors.

TWO DEFECTS MY OWN GREEN NUMBERS COULD NOT SEE, both caught by a screenshot: the washing shipped at 256
instances / +1 draw / cap respected and was INVISIBLE behind its own back fence (per-instance peg height,
and a fence taller than the hoist), and the magpie perched on THIN AIR over the road. R37's lesson
relearned at full price. Fence 1.60 / hoist 2.15 measured against the object; territories now snap to
furniture.js's own streetlight rule.

LANE E'S PROPS, ADJUDICATED: hoist + aerial permanently primitive (E's spike killed them, and primitive
is also the +0-draw mechanism). `paling_fence` at 1,121 tris x 905 runs = 1.01M triangles — no. The
`magpie` GLB is HELD FOR THE TINT: it reads as a crow, and a magpie seen for 1.2 s in peripheral vision
IS its white bar. My 182-tri bird already carries it, at a fifth of the triangles and no fetch.
furniture.js's "novelty_record is 26.5k tris" was stale by six epochs — corrected to 8,000.

Zero fetch delta: `?noassets=1` fetches the same 23 assets, same list, on HEAD and on R38.
0 console errors on 10 boots (default, classic, yards=0, washing=0&magpie=0&ambient=0, noassets,
magpie=1, darwin, hobart, bendigo, the patched-manifest control) beyond the known PointerLock ones.

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).

24cef5a7bb Lane B round-6: place street_bin + bus_shelter GLBs (on the street graph, collision-verified)
Consumes the two orphaned street GLBs via the use-if-ready furniture path (fail-soft; ?noassets →
primitives, 0 network).

- Bins: genuinely sparse (~1/block, s+=78m, seeded side), decoupled from benches — country town not
  a mall. GLB on its 0.57x0.68 footprint.
- 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
  -> flagged to Lane E as a decimation candidate (bounded by the sparse cadence for now).

qa.sh --strict GREEN.

6323d58736 Lane B round-4: closed facades (§3.5) + shot poses/letterbox + furniture GLB + novelty_record
- B1: per-shop closed-facade visuals — dark windows + red CLOSED plate + door tooltip, batched via a
  per-vertex aHours attr + two shared shaders + one uHour/uNight uniform pair on a procity:segment
  event (facade atlas untouched, no per-shop materials, no per-frame poll). 22:00 → only the openLate
  video shop lit, all others CLOSED; ~200 draws worst-view with citizens.
- B2: the shots 'letterbox' was camera-jammed-into-a-wall poses, not a composer bug (composer proven
  correctly sized headless). Reframed street_noon/arcade/warehouse to look down a street
  (streetViewPose), added the 3 missing bookmarks, night_neon now frames the lit video shop amid
  CLOSED neighbours, + a defensive composer resize. shots.py: 10 un-letterboxed shots, 0 errors.
- B3: furniture GLB use-if-ready upgrade (bench + food_cart, sit on their footprints) + novelty_record
  placed at record stores. novelty_record GLB is 26.5k tris (5x glb_law) → stays low-poly primitive
  until Lane E decimates it; ?noassets verified 0 network.

qa.sh --strict GREEN (4/4).

5313402e43 Lane B (Streetscape): chunk-streamed walkable town shell
First-person shell: chunk streaming, instanced buildings + facade texture atlas
(22 facade materials -> 1; 5 skin materials city-wide), signs, awnings, furniture,
day/night lighting, minimap, pixel-accurate collision (incl. arbitrary-angle lots),
door raycast -> procity:enterShop, DBG harness, all-fallback mode. Renders Lane A's
full generated town (seed 20261990 'Boolarra Heads', 493 shops); worst continuous-
walk view ~261 draws (<=300 gate). 6 adversarial-review bugs fixed (collision sign,
house doors, awning skin, sign atlas, furniture seed hash, shot-mode restore).

index.html and skins.js include Lane F's inline integration seam edits (marked
'[Lane F integration]'): interior/keeper/citizen wiring + facade filename fix.
