The micro-task, done and verified. In doing it I found why F photographed
empty road: it is not the pose.
1. THE DELIVERABLE — DBG.poseForShopFront(sel, dist = 8)
Poses at a NAMED shop's frontage: door centred, sign band + R26 crate mark in
shot, under the verandah. clusterPose() answers "where is the town's HEART",
which is the wrong question for a named shop — Red Hill's heart doesn't contain
Monster Robot, which is exactly how F got three frames of empty road.
Keyed through ONE shop selector: F's R22/R24 resolver lived inside enterShop(),
so I extracted it rather than grow a second key scheme beside it. A selector bug
resolves the wrong shop AND looks like it worked (F's own first cut proved it),
so the id-namespace law now has exactly one home.
poseForShopFront(31) → Wholefood Cafe (PLAN id) + ambiguous: "31 is
also the godverseShopId of Silky Oak Furnature"
poseForShopFront('g:31') → Silky Oak Furnature (the prefix IS the fence)
poseForShopFront('g:999999') → {error} — never throws, never guesses
Framing proven by projection, not by eye: doorCentreNdcX = 0.0000 exactly, door
+ sign + mark inside the frustum. Derived from buildings.js, not hardcoded: door
is centred on the lot front (off = 0, unlike poseForShop's off = 1.0); sign band
= min(h,FACADE_H)-0.35 ± 0.25 ⇒ y 2.40-2.90; mark = y 2.45-2.52; camY 2.0 sits
below AWNING_Y 2.95, so a ray rising to a target ≤2.9 can never cross it — the
sign is clear BY GEOMETRY at any distance.
2. CORRECTING MY OWN R27 INTEL — I gave F two wrong numbers. I said the mark
"rides high (y≈3.3)" and the vinyl blocks 4% of it. Both wrong: the mark is at
y 2.45-2.52, and I had scanned y 3.0-3.6 — empty awning air above the sign,
which is why it read ~0. Re-measured: the novelty_record disc (top y 2.50)
reaches INTO the mark band and clips ~15% of the strip from EVERY offset;
moving the camera only changes which 15%. "Shoot head-on" survives, but for the
opposite reason to the one I gave.
3. THE FINDING — every real town's shops face away from their street, since R18.
From Musgrave Road (Monster Robot's own frontEdge 1316) the shop is a blank grey
back wall: no sign, no door, no mark. Measured:
redhill_godverse 35 shop lots: 0 facing, 35 backwards (dot = -1.000)
katoomba_real 72 shop lots: 0 facing, 72 backwards (dot = -1.000)
synthetic correct — always has been
dot = -1.000 exactly on every lot in both towns: a convention, not a defect.
Katoomba's street_noon — the bookmark the tours have shot for nine rounds — is
46 draws / 19,680 tris of bare road.
Root cause: CITY_SPEC contradicts itself and each generator implements one half.
CITY_SPEC:71 (lots contract) "World facing = (-sin ry, -cos ry)" ⇒ -Z facade
CITY_SPEC:335 (posters, R15) "the +Z street facade (B's canon)" ⇒ +Z facade
plan_osm.js:443 obeys the first (its comment: "facade (-Z) faces road").
plan.js, buildings.js, venue.js and the R15 posters obey the second. Synthetic —
the town every golden tests — follows B's canon and looks right, which is exactly
why nine rounds of real-town work never caught it. The epoch's own signature
species: a rule meeting a case written after it.
Proven, then REVERTED: one line in A's plan_osm.js (ry = atan2(-nx,-nz)) flips
katoomba 0/72 → 72/72 facing, and turns poseForShopFront's camera from 26m out in
a paddock into 4m from Musgrave Road — the money shot F specified. Not committed:
it is A's file, it moves every real-town plan (goldens re-pin under amendment
law), and a self-contradicting spec is Fable's to rule on, not mine to pick a
side of.
This also re-reads my R22 diagnosis: I recorded "chunk-buildings 348 tris (0.2%)"
in katoomba's busiest block and credited the instancing work. 348 tris is ~29
boxes — that was not efficiency, it was the buildings being ABSENT from frame. I
read the evidence as a win for five rounds.

#2 THE READER, built to C's §8 ruling (direct wire, no hook) and to what the waves measured,
not to the brief's letter:
· `pack.gone` set, `price` updated IN PLACE — items[] never added to, removed from, or
reordered, because its identity AND ORDER are the pick's stability (C §8.3). Filtering the
array instead reshuffles the crate: C measured ONE sale changing 21 OTHER records.
· fire-and-forget at room build, 1200ms abort, etag-cached, circuit-broken on first failure.
The dig never blocks on the network (charter risk #1). No await anywhere near the door.
· fires ONLY for a real-sourced shop. G's fence 404s a mint shop, and asking anyway would be
R26's blind probe wearing a server. The manifest already knows which is which.
TIER 2 IS OPT-IN (`?live=1` / `?live=<url>`; absent → byte-identical to the beta). That is the
R26 lesson applied to a server: a default boot that probed for a GODVERSE host would ask a
question with no answer on every machine that isn't John's. Tier 2 is a place you go, not a
thing that happens to you. Auto-discovery is a v5.x question with a reachability contract.
PROVEN IN THE BROWSER (formal smoke class still to land):
· sold-means-gone, via G's make-fixture (production `gone` is EMPTY — 0 sales since
2026-07-01 — so a live assert would pass vacuously forever; G built the subject before the
gate could be born blind): 3 sold → gone[3] → items[] 120→120 IDENTITY AND ORDER INTACT,
117 survivors, COLLATERAL 0. C called this: both pick-then-omit and filter-the-array hide
the sold record, so "the gone item never renders" cannot tell them apart — the obvious
assertion is vacuous and goes green. Collateral is the one that discriminates.
· KILL THE SERVER MID-SESSION → enter took 13.1ms, worst frame gap 14ms, the crate still
renders its own 120 real covers, and ZERO console errors. Charter law #1 proven by
execution instead of assertion — the thing A correctly refused to retire from the risk
list until this gate went green.
Recorded, not hidden: after a mid-session kill the etag-cached `gone` persists for the session,
so a killed server does not resurrect sold records mid-walk. That is tier-1-plus-last-known, not
tier-1-exactly. It is the honest behaviour (a network blink must not re-stock a shop) and a
server-down BOOT is still pure tier 1 — but it is a nuance the brief's "degrades to tier 1
exactly" doesn't cover, so it goes in writing rather than in the gaps.

EVERY CRATE IS DIFFERENT, and F measured it rather than taking G's 15/15 on trust — from the
indexes of record, not by entering one lucky shop: 15 keyed crates, 105 pairs, 0 sharing a
title; 0 crates overlap the generic v2 pack; 0 ids reused across crates (G's sku fix holds at
scale — the R24 vacuity dead at the source, not papered over in F's gate). 4 crates in Red Hill
+ 11 in Newtown = the manifest's 15 exactly, and the manifest lists nothing not on disk.
SOURCING, NOT TIER — C was right and the gate follows C. `tier` is the charter's ladder rung and
a mint atlas is ALSO rung 1: still a file, still offline, still deterministic. What differs is
where the stock came from. 15/15 indexes declare sourcing, every one agrees with the manifest,
a mint crate can never report as real, and the gate PRINTS it per room — provenance a human
never reads isn't doing anything (R24's licence lesson, one round on).
THE 404 TOLERANCE IS DELETED, NOT TUNED. R24 probed every keyed shop and ate a 404 per
atlas-less one; F's smoke could only cope by NAMING them, and a tolerance is a confession. F
filed the real fix as a contract ask rather than inventing it; G built the manifest; F now
consumes it — the shell asks for nothing unlisted. Zero 404s because nothing absent gets asked
for, not because the gate stopped looking. AND DELETING IT IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT A LEFTOVER: F had
wired the boot preload but left a second blind probe at the door, 404ing on every
keyed-but-unfetchable shop. While the gate said "8 probes, expected", a ninth was invisible too.
A named exception starts protecting new bugs the moment the real fix exists.
F's beta gate GREEN: distinctness · sourcing (real + mint rooms) · soft fall silent · ZERO 404s ·
0 console errors, no attribution exceptions. Selfcheck ALL GREEN 156,212/156,212.
TAG HELD — atlas-QA FAIL, 14 errors, and it is not the product. E's SLOT_ID_PREFIX = "sku_"
(validate_atlas.py:73) applies to every pack; E reads `sourcing` at :178 but the slot-id check is
sourcing-blind. All 14 mint crates fail; the real crate passes. A mint crate HAS no POS sku — it
was never in that shop's till — so the rule demands what cannot exist, the same shape as R24's
sweep demanding a cafe carry a godverseShopId.
F measured the rule's intent and it holds: mint_<dealgod listing id>, non-positional, sorted by
it, seeded bake, 0 ids reused across all 15 crates. Only the literal prefix fails. And G refused
to go green the easy way for the best reason — F's own R24 collision grown up: a POS sku and a
dealgod listing id are different id spaces, and filing one under `sku_` recreates that bug
INSIDE the economy, where tier-2's sold-means-gone looks up POS skus. R24's collision entered
the wrong shop; the same collision in the money layer sells the wrong record.
F did not fix E's one line: E's file, C's contract, C's call as its author (the principle Fable
ratified when C overruled `tier`) — and F is the party that benefits, since that line is the
only thing between F and the tag. Cost of waiting: one line. Cost of F being quietly wrong: a
gate that green-lights id-space collisions in the layer that moves money.

Ledger #5 — B's polish pick. A stocked godverse shop now tells you it's
diggable before you reach the door: a crate of seeded spines under the shop
name, and a warm-lamp-over-crates room behind the glass.
Cost: +0 draws / +0 tris. The mark is painted into the chunk's EXISTING
sign-atlas cell; the window cue rides the EXISTING per-shop aTint attribute.
Nothing new is allocated or submitted.
The manifest is the authority, deliberately NOT the godverseShopId key: keyed
means "has a stock identity", the manifest means "a crate is actually here".
Marking keyed-but-unstocked shops would advertise a crate the shop hasn't got
— the street would lie. The mark does not leak tier: "you can dig here" is
equally true of real and mint; provenance belongs on C's price card and in E's
gates. (Second job for ledger #6's manifest, free.)
Measured — true A/B at one pose, manifest 200 vs 404:
spine-marked sign cells 0 → 3 (18,768 exact-palette px)
stocked window tint verts 0 → 36
street_noon 65 draws / 115,502 tris → UNCHANGED
Stocked shopfront (Goulds Books, footpath): 85 draws / 144,730 tris — inside
street law (<=300 / <=200k). Cues agree with ground truth: 3 stocked shops
live → 3 marked cells, 9 stocked window quads.
Covenants re-proved (the prefetch is new code on the boot path), tested with
the manifest present on disk so a stray fetch would 200 and be unmissable:
?classic=1 0 keyed, 0 stock fetches, 0 errors (zero-fetch covenant)
default synthetic 0 keyed, 0 stock fetches, 0 errors
manifest 404 18 keyed, fail-soft, 0 page errors
Three traps, self-caught: (1) a module-load fetch would have put a fetch delta
on ?classic=1 — restructured to a lazy reader + plan-driven prefetch, keyed
plans only; (2) the lazy trigger alone raced the first chunk build, so the
first stocked shop you approach built unmarked — prefetch moved to
createChunkManager, before any chunk builds; (3) the first "zero cost" was
VACUOUS (manifest never fetched, so nothing was applied) and the first pixel
detector reported 60 marked cells with no treatment at all — replaced with an
exact-palette signature that reads 0 in control. Vacuous-gate law applies to a
lane's own verification too. Corollary: force-cache serves a deleted file
(transferSize 0, status 200 while disk 404s) — poison the cache or you are
testing your own memory.
B consumes stock_godverse/index.json read-only and emits nothing into it; the
temp manifest used to prove this round was deleted — the directory is G's.
Shape-tolerant + fail-soft, so G's real emission needs no coordination with B.

You can boot redhill_godverse, walk down Musgrave Road into Monster Robot Party, riffle its
own real crate and buy a real record. Proven falsifiably, not by eyeball:
base assets/stock_godverse/3962749/ (its own, not the town-wide)
TITLES 120/120 the shop's atlas · 0/120 the generic pack
TEXTURES 2 from stock_godverse/3962749/*.webp · 0 generic — the pixels' own file
BUY rec_0000 "Abstract Latin Lounge II (Part II)" @ $15 → cash 191→176, exact
REBOOT 191/0 restored — gone-this-session, back next boot
Ladder: ?noassets → ZERO network requests · keyed-but-atlas-less shop → 404 → parody, live ·
newtown_real → base null, 350 items: the wire is a NO-OP off the godverse path.
flags_check GREEN (0 fails, 0 warns).
#6a THE WIRE: godverseBaseFor(shop), exported and used by BOTH the shell's boot preload and
the room's lookup — C's cache identity is the LITERAL (type, base) pair, so two sides building
that string differently would drop a real shop to parody, a bug indistinguishable from "no
stock" by eye. One function, one string, one key. Gated on stockReal, never the id alone.
#6b THE GATE: smoke_real_crate + DBG.stockInfo() — permanent, and it cannot pass without
touching its subject (SKIPs with a printed reason when the town/atlas is absent).
FINDING — THE BRIEF'S OWN HONEST-GATE SPEC WAS VACUOUS. It specified id equality. Both packs
number items POSITIONALLY (rec_0000…), so all 120 atlas ids are generic-pack ids too: an
id-equality gate goes GREEN on the generic pack — the exact failure the vacuous-gate law was
written to stop, reproduced inside its first application. Ids there are slot numbers, not
identity. Titles (0 overlap) and the texture URL discriminate; F asserts on those.
FINDING — THE ID SPACES COLLIDE, and it bit F's own selector inside the anti-vacuous gate.
Plan ids (1..N) and godverse ids (31, 767, 3962749) share a numeric space: Silky Oak's godverse
id is 31 and another shop's PLAN id is 31, so enterShop(31) silently entered "Wholefood Cafe"
and the soft-fall assertion PASSED ON AN UNKEYED CAFE. Fixed both ends: 'g:<n>' selects a
godverse id explicitly, a bare number stays the plan id and now REPORTS the collision, and the
smoke asserts it landed in the shop it asked for before asserting anything about it.
FINDING — F'S OWN GATE CRIED THE LOUDEST WOLF WE OWN. classic_regression reported "plan
fingerprint != golden 0x3fa36874 — determinism/prime-law broken" while the covenant was
provably intact. F wrote it in R16 as `hash_ok and returncode == 0` — two assertions, ONE
verdict, reported with the fingerprint's message — so any unrelated selfcheck red screamed that
the byte-identical-forever covenant had broken. Two assertions, two verdicts now. It isn't
enough to fail for a reason; you have to fail for YOUR reason.
FINDING — fail-soft-by-404 vs the 0-console-errors law. The boot preload must resolve a keyed
shop's pack before the door opens (getStockPack is sync), so it probes blind: 9 of Red Hill's
10 keyed shops have no atlas → 404 → parody. That IS fail-soft working, and it is also 8
console errors no .catch() can suppress. Fix is not to loosen the law but to stop probing for
what isn't there: an atlas index in G's namespace (or hasStock on the cache entry, A+G). Filed
as a contract ask, not invented. Until then the smoke counts and NAMES the probes and fails on
any other error — tolerance stated out loud.
Verified the lift is clean: cache 10 keyed → plan 9 keyed, every one a real secondhand shop.
No cafe keyed, zero duplicate ids — there is no mis-stocking.
F did NOT touch A's identity sweep or E's validator. F was the party that would benefit, and
changing a red gate to green in another lane's file to unblock F's own tag would retroactively
devalue every green F has ever reported. Filed instead — and R25 has since landed A's
reconciliation and the six pins, which is the right hands doing it.

The blocking gate is CLOSED, and the epoch closes green.
- #1b THE BLOCKING RE-MEASURE: F's R21 re-measure made the tri diet blocking; B diagnosed layer-by-layer,
the driver traced A -> E (A's own commit: "B's numbers say the fix is E's"), E fixed it, F re-measured:
katoomba venue_night 221,935 (+11%) -> 108,365 (-51%); bendigo 201k -> 124,682; fremantle -> 88,397.
Worst 124,682 — the 200k stress edge is closed. The measure-first loop worked end to end.
- #3 DBG.enterShop(selector) (Lane G's ask): id · registry type · exact name · name substring, resolved
most-specific-first so an id-shaped string can't be shadowed. One-liner QA on any of 23 towns.
- #4 The release tour -> docs/shots/release_v4/: the Fremantle hero · the Fitzroy mecca · the Toowoomba thin
tail · the synthetic control · the ?classic=1 covenant. Every real-town frame poses through F's R21
cluster primitive; B's R22 bookmarks anchor on the same retail heart, so tour and bookmarks agree by
construction. HUD hidden throughout (F's R21 ruling corollary).
The primitive earned itself twice: the first cut posed via street_noon and the MECCA CAME OUT AS BARE
BITUMEN — the same trap as R21. Re-posed through the cluster, Fitzroy reads.
- HONEST FINDING (filed v4.x): the brief asked for the thin tail as "proof the floor holds". It does not,
and the frame says so — Toowoomba reads as an empty road. The floor is a RATIO, not a count: 0.008
shops/edge vs the heroes' 0.06-0.08. Shipped labelled honestly rather than swapped for a flattering town.
- #6 Docs: README v4 section (the towns ARE the product), LANE_F_NOTES §22, F-progress.
qa.sh --strict --matrix GREEN 7/7; MATRIX GREEN — 10 towns × 7 gates (the budget gate green everywhere for
the first time); selfcheck 161,300/161,300 (A's 36 goldens + the 23-town pack).

ROOT CAUSE: every "nearest" resolver in dbg.js sorted by distance from the WORLD ORIGIN. That's the town
centre only on a synthetic plan -- a real OSM town is projected about its cache's bbox centre while its shops
cluster hundreds of metres away, so bookmarks teleported into arbitrary far-flung geometry, exactly as G
reported. Measured origin-pick distance from the retail heart: katoomba 408m, newtown 626m, fremantle 371m.
FIX: resolve bookmarks about the town's DENSEST SHOP CLUSTER (grid-bin shop lots at 120m; heaviest bin's
centroid = the retail heart) instead of the origin -- byDist, lotsByDist, streetViewPose, stopPose, and
crossroadsPose's tie-break.
GATED on the REAL-ROADS signal (edges > 200) -- the same primitive as the R20 tram fence -- so synthetic and
the marched fixtures keep their exact origin-centred behaviour and F's release-tour control shot cannot move.
The gate is load-bearing, not cosmetic: synthetic's anchor is only 117m out but it DOES re-pick (Anglibarn Op
Shop -> Dusty Pages), so an unconditional switch would have silently moved the control. Same reason the new
crossroadsPose tie-break is gated (a degree tie would otherwise resolve differently on synthetic).
Verified across the town set: synthetic(22 edges)/melbourne(15)/katoomba-fixture(15)/silverton(1) -> origin,
UNCHANGED; newtown_godverse(1626) -> anchor(98,-629); katoomba_real(993) -> anchor(-227,-625). G's own town
is fixed.
Result on katoomba: shopfront bookmarks went from ~408m adrift to <=42m of the retail heart (arcade 7m,
milkbar_dusk/patronage_door/shopfront_detail 24m, market_square 26m, dig_real 42m); strip views ~195m on the
high street; venue_night/queue_night ~345m (A's venue placement, not the bookmark). All 19 resolve, 0 errors;
synthetic 19/19 unchanged. warehouse_fringe sits 3,074m out -- correct by design (it's the far:true fringe
shot; on a 5km town the fringe genuinely is 3km away).
-> F (ledger #4, the shared posing primitive): published on the harness as DBG.townAnchor {x,z,n,anchored,ref}
(the retail heart + whether it's in use) and DBG.clusterPose(kinds) (stand on the road at the densest
cluster, look along it). Your cluster-pose finding as a dbg.js-consumable -- the tour and the bookmarks now
resolve through the SAME primitive, so a tour shot and its bookmark can't drift apart.

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.

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.

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).

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 #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.

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).

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.

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.

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).

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

New js/world/weather.js + a one-line lighting.setSky(). Seeded per citySeed (weatherFor):
~57/24/19% clear/overcast/rain over 400 seeds, deterministic. Rain = ONE draw (camera-following
Points + procedural streak/fall/wind shader) + wet ground (roughness/darken on shared ground mats,
restored on dispose) + matching rainy sky dome via lighting.setSky. Fully procedural (0 depot fetch).
- Exposes window.PROCITY.weather = { state:'clear'|'overcast'|'rain', intensity:0..1 } for Lane D's
weather-reactive crowds (decision #1). Documented the contract + the exact 3-line shell wiring for F
in LANE_B_NOTES (I don't touch index.html). ?weather=1 seeded (default town rolls clear);
?weather=rain|overcast|clear forces a state for demos/smokes.
- Worst view 141 draws day / 126 night (<=300); composes with ?winmap + night (rain outside a lit
interior-mapped window = the money shot, screenshotted); deterministic; 0 console errors; flag-off
byte-identical (shell never constructs it). Deferred cut line: vertex-shader wind sway on

qa.sh: flags harness warn_gate → run_gate — flags-off regression + the 4 existing flags +
all-on combo are now STRICT (a harness FAIL fails qa). New flags stay warn-level in-harness.
?stock=real wiring (F owns the shell + interior bridge): shell preloads the record stock pack
(preloadStockPack('record'), fail-soft, off under ?noassets) + passes stockReal to the bridge.
interior_mode builds makeStockAdapter(getStockPack(shop.type)) and passes it to BOTH buildInterior
(static crate sleeves) and dig.open (riffle) — null pack → parody canvas (Lane C fail-soft).
Harness: added stock=real smoke (assert non-parody = batched userData.isStock atlas meshes > 0;
verified 7 real sleeves in the record shop) + weather=1 smoke (auto-skips until Lane B lands),
both warn-level (decision #4). qa.sh --strict GREEN (5 gates); crates now show real covers.

Added an interior draw-budget sweep to flags_check.py (decision #2): enter all 9 shop types,
assert <=350 draws/room, dig on so it also confirms C1's batching kept ?dig=1 riffling.
The sweep caught a real bug in interior_mode.js (F-owned): the interior/dig render never called
renderer.info.reset() while the shell runs autoReset=false (for the composer), so
renderer.info.render.calls ACCUMULATED every frame — inflating any interior draw read (and the
HUD were it shown). Fixed: reset per interior frame before both the dig and the walk render.
True per-frame result after the fix: all 9 room types <=350 draws (worst dept 96) — C1 batching
(35981ad) verified. flags_check GREEN (regression + interior budget + 4 flag smokes + all-on combo).

- 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.

A landed the plansrc seam (52eb109); F owns the shell bootstrap. index.html: ?plansrc=osm
-> citygen.generatePlanFor(seed,'osm') (real-data 'Melbourne' 95 shops); default synthetic
'Boolarra Heads' unchanged (prime law). scaffold_check.mjs: pin BOTH goldens keyed by
(seed,plansrc) — synthetic 0x3fa36874, osm 0x34cfdec0 (deterministic) — + assert the selector
routes synthetic|osm. flags_check auto-detects + smokes plansrc + the all-on combo (4 flags).
interior_mode.js: restored binUnderAim's nearest-bin fallback (Lane C test-page parity) so E
riffles a nearby bin without perfect aim / before the bin GLB async-loads — fixes the dig
smoke's raycast-miss under fast headless AND improves real UX.
qa.sh --strict GREEN; flags_check GREEN (all 4 flags + all-on combo, 0 console errors).

C shipped dig.js + the flag but left the in-game input/mode hook to F (LANE_C_NOTES C2).
interior_mode.js (F-owned): aim at a userData.kind==='bin' fitting + press E -> createDig +
dig.open (per-bin seed binSeed(shop.seed,pos)); the dig owns the frame (renders dig.scene,
suppresses interior walk); WALK OUT/Esc closes back to the room; closed on interior exit.
Shell (index.html): ?dig=1 -> dig: opt; procity:digOpen releases pointer-lock (riffle is
cursor-driven); the unlock->leaveShop guard reads interiorMode.digActive so opening a bin
isn't read as walking out; canvas re-locks for interior walk after close.
Fresh-chromium smoke: E opens the riffle (seeded sleeves + prices render), WALK OUT closes
to the interior, leak-free (steady-state geo/tex flat over 3 open/close cycles), 0 console
errors. Flag off => no listener, dig stays null => byte-identical to v1 (prime law).

The Vuntra window trick — a passing pedestrian sees a plausible room through the shop glass with real
parallax, no geometry. One shared ShaderMaterial does single-cube interior mapping on the existing
window mesh (back wall + seeded shelves + side walls + floor/ceiling); per-shop variation via
aTangent/aTint/aSeed attributes, still 1 window draw/chunk. §3.5 held via the shared uHour/uNight +
aHours: night → open room glows warm, closed room dark.
v2 prime law: WINMAP is read from the URL in buildings.js (self-contained — no index.html seam; F
just needs a flags-table row). Flag-OFF byte-identical to v1 (windowQuad → v1 hoursQuad, v1
windowMaterial). Proven: flag-off windows MeshStandardMaterial w/ no winmap attrs; flag-on interior
ShaderMaterial; worst view 122-168 draws (<=300); 100% procedural (0 fetch delta vs ?noassets
baseline); 0 console errors; GOLDEN.hash untouched. Screenshots in docs/shots/laneB/winmap_*.
qa.sh --strict GREEN (4/4).

- 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).

- lighting.js sets scene.environment (neutral PMREM sky->ground gradient, no asset) in attachRenderer, before CitizenSim constructs; Lane D rig-fleet peds bake their impostor atlas from it and render dark if null. Verified set in street/night/interior + after interior-return.
- Re-measured worst continuous-walk view WITH citizens (pop 140, 125 active peds) via window.DBG: 263 scene / 275 total midday, 275 night -- <=300 everywhere. Radius-2 auto already the spawn default.
- Round-3 task 3 (furniture GLB footprints) standby: Fable s3.4 manifest upgrade not yet landed.
- Docs: LANE_B_NOTES.md + B-progress.md round-3 updates.

interior_mode.js bridges Lane B's enterShop seam to Lane C buildInterior and Lane D
keepers (spawn at counter keeperStand, greet, leak-free over 5 cycles). CitizenSim
wired into the street loop (pop 140, ~96 active midday, worst ~191 draws). tools/:
qa.sh gate runner (all 4 landed gates GREEN --strict), scaffold/consistency checks,
shots.py + soak.py browser harnesses. docs/shots/ reference tree, LANE_F_NOTES
runbook, V2_IDEAS parking lot.
(F's inline seam edits to index.html/skins.js landed with the Lane B commit.)
