Docs-only handshake close; no code, no goldens. Filed so F isn't waiting on A for the re-measure.
My R22 notes left ledger #1's ownership open on purpose: "if B's layer-by-layer names plan geometry
(lot or poster counts) as the venue_night driver, I own the fix and will take it." B's diagnosis
(0c4dad5) has landed and answers it — the driver is E's four furniture GLBs at 149,161 of 163,015
tris (91.5%), which is ASSET TRIS, so LANE E owns the fix by the ledger's own rule. A IS CLEAR.
Plan geometry isn't close to the bill:
posters 222 tris <- B: A's cap "already worked and was never the lever"
buildings 348 tris <- the R3 atlas/instancing holding
venue pools 0
Recording that B corrected MY expectation too, not just the brief's. I predicted the driver would be
buildings/LOD ("more shops => more night building geometry at the venue block"); B measured buildings
at 0.2%. And B found the real coupling: shop count doesn't drive this, ROAD density does — the
bench/bin/shelter cadence rides a 966-edge graph, so ~100 GLB props land in the streamed set where
synthetic had a handful. That means my R20 absorb of E's density widening was never the cause either.
The brief is a hypothesis and the measurement wins — mine included.
Lane A's round-22 ledger is now complete: #2 the pack absorb (3face97), #6 the docs close (9c9ad73),
#1 measured out of my court. Standing by for F's close.

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.

Docs-only; no output change, no golden moves (selfcheck 161,300/161,300 green before and after).
THE DRIFT THIS CLOSES. Three gig-layer behaviour changes had reached only my lane notes, never the
spec — the amendment law says the spec is where they live:
- ROUND20 ledger #2: the R16 facade-clearance bias WIDENED from band_room/rsl to every venue kind (line
312 still claimed band_room/rsl). A real road graph at E's density can put a PUB's facade over a cross
street; synthetic pubs always clear, so it stayed a no-op there.
- ROUND21 ledger #1: the venue cluster bias was never written down at all. Now recorded with the
measurement (11 of 15 venues under the floor -> 0; Newtown's RSL 2,228m -> 29m from the hub) and the
by-construction gate (, which synthetic never sets — measured, not assumed).
- ROUND22 ledger #2: the graded fallback (densest-available where the floor is unreachable).
Also documented the pick ORDER, which no lane could have inferred: cluster field -> kind flavour ->
clearance filter -> farthestFirst -> seeded pick, each degrading to the previous set.
CITY_SPEC v4 section marked FINAL at the tag: the alpha's five towns became the epoch's 23 (1,210
shops) and every ruling held with no new hardening. 'All five towns' now reads as the measurement of
record when the ruling was written; the ruling is pack-wide.
THE RISK LIST, line by line, judged against the full pack rather than the 5-town sample it was written
for (V4_REAL_MAP.md):
1. RETIRED — bbox law enforced with headroom: widest is geelong at 3,829m, 77% of the 5km ceiling.
2. RETIRED — the floor never bound: thinnest is darwin at 12 shops, 2x MIN_TOWN_SHOPS. (Whether 12
shops READS alive is D's thin-tail check, not a generator risk — different question, still live.)
3. RETIRED plan-side; CARRIED for the runtime lanes. The alpha's real risk paid off exactly as
intended (it surfaced fragmentation, capacity, stranding — each fixed-or-fenced). But a green plan
is not a green town: C's soak, D's fitzroy audit and F's matrix are the verifies that close it.
4. RETIRED — the DP knob is at a measured setting: 1 component on all 23.
5. Unchanged, now on 23 towns not 5.
6. NEW, CARRIED — thin-graph seating capacity: 6.4% of shops don't seat (77/1,210), all counted by
cause; daylesford 19% (32 shops on 171 roads), fitzroy 13%. Levers are spent at RGAP 0.5m /
NODE_CLEAR 3m; the only one left puts a shop on a road it isn't on. R20 ruling stands: drop and
count beats teleport. Carried into v4.x measured, not hidden.

E's 17 new towns + Lane G's newtown_godverse fed through the lift. ONE batched golden commit as
briefed: REAL_TOWN_GOLDENS + REAL_TOWN_GIG_GOLDENS go 5 -> 23 towns each, zero unpinned.
THE HEADLINE: everything built this epoch held at 23-town scale, FIRST TRY. 1,210 shops -> 1,133 seated
(77 dropped, 6.4%, all counted by cause); 1 CONNECTED COMPONENT and 3 VENUES on every one of the 23 towns.
fitzroy — 160 shops, 2x anything absorbed before — landed 139 seated, 1 component, 3 venues, 212 posters,
all invariants green. The junction-protected DP, fragmentation ruling, cluster bias, poster cap and
capacity fence needed NO new hardening: the pack needed absorbing, not fixing.
- Graded cluster fallback (the one refinement). Three towns have no candidate at the floor at all
(ballarat/toowoomba/newtown_godverse top out at 2 shops within 160m); R21's bias switched off entirely
there, stranding venues at 0. It now falls back to the DENSEST AVAILABLE — ballarat 0,2,0 -> 2,2,2,
godverse 0,1,1 -> 2,2,2, toowoomba 1,0,0 -> 1,2,1. Fires only where the floor is unreachable, so NO
already-pinned town moved (verified). Acceptance at pack scale: 20 of 23 towns have every venue >=3;
the three above sit at their town's genuine ceiling — the carved-out case, stated explicitly.
- Drop outliers, counted not hidden: daylesford 19% (32 shops on a 171-road graph, the thinnest in the
pack, all overflow), fitzroy 13%. RGAP is already 0.5m and NODE_CLEAR 3m; the only lever left is
spilling overflow onto a DIFFERENT street, which buys a few percent by putting a shop on a road it
isn't on. Same ruling as R20: drop and count beats teleport.
- selfcheck ALL GREEN 161,300/161,300; scaffold + consistency GREEN; cross-process deterministic
(pack-xor 0xca140954). classic 0x3fa36874 / gig 0xb1d48ea1 / marched fixtures FROZEN.
Handshake -> C + D + F: the pack is in, 23 towns pinned, start your verifies. Tri diet (ledger #1): if
B's layer-by-layer names plan geometry as the venue_night driver, I own the fix.

Ledger #3 (E's G item), #6 (provenance prep), + the C/E contract review.
- MODELBEAST notes (#3): pipeline/README.md's toolchain row claimed sf3d/trellis_mac were 'HF-gated
(setup needed)' -- ultra was right, that was stale (weights cached; trellis_mac 15/15 on thriftgod
Tier-1; the :8777 queue also runs bg_remove_local/mflux_image_edit/seedvr2_upscale). Corrected.
Ultra's finish-farm post-mortem folded into the props section VERBATIM + credited, with Fable's
Ruling 1 amendment (NO-DRACO: drop --compress draco, rest of the command stands). Noted that our
bake_lowpoly.py / decimate_props.py are NOT the finish farm, so nobody conflates them.
- Provenance v4-FINAL (#6): the frozen table carries the pack (22 towns, all 8 states/territories,
1192 shops + roads[], ODbL, raw snapshots) + a row for Lane G's newtown_godverse attributed to G.
The licence spine is complete -- nothing shipped is unaccounted.
- BUG: index.json still listed 22 -- generated before the dd4489c merge, so newtown_godverse was
invisible to B's selector while R22 verifies at 23-town scale. Regenerated -> 23 towns (selfcheck
ALL GREEN 161300/161300). Index is now self-describing: state reads from the cache first, then my
config, so any lane's town rosters itself.
- G2a atlas contract review (E's half; C answers interior ceilings in LANE_C_PUB): Fable's priors all
hold. Atlas-per-shop is an UPGRADE if the loader disposes on room exit -- today stockpack.js never
disposes (R9: 181MB resident, accreting). Without dispose, per-shop strands ~16MB/shop (~190MB per
town visited, unbounded across 23 towns). With dispose: ~4MB resident at 1024², ~45x better than
today. Also: size the atlas to the shop (<=1024², not 2048² for a 6-item shop); reuse my index
schema verbatim so stockpack.js/fail-soft-to-parody/?noassets/validate_pack all work unchanged;
the R8 parody law (parodied metadata, real cover art) is unchanged.
-> Lane G: add "state":"NSW" to newtown_godverse.json and the index picks it up automatically.
-> Lane C: the R9 dispose-on-exit cache-cap is now load-bearing for G2a (my VRAM numbers above).

BLOCKING-ITEM DIAGNOSIS, filed first so E/A/F aren't waiting. Method: katoomba venue_night, settled, then
hide-a-layer-and-re-measure (frustum-accurate: a layer's cost = the tris that vanish when hidden), then the
same drill inside furniture bucketed by geometry.
VERDICT: the four GLB street-furniture props are 149,161 of 163,015 tris = 91.5% of the stress view.
OWNER: LANE E (asset tris), per the ledger's own rule. Decimation clears the gate with ~120k to spare.
Layer breakdown (baseline 163,015 tris / 88 draws):
chunk-furniture 151,341 (92.8%) | ground 9,932 | venue-presentation 770 | lighting 624 |
chunk-buildings 348 (0.2%) | venue-posters 222 | citizens/weather/tram/venue-pools 0
Buildings are 348 tris (the R3 atlas/instancing holds). Posters are 222 -- A's cap already worked and was
never the lever. Pools cost 0.
Inside furniture -- the four GLBs are the whole bill:
bench 1,942 tris/inst x64 = 60,202 (37%) <- procity_street_bench_01
bus_shelter 7,998 x10 = 55,986 (34%) <- procity_street_bus_shelter_01
bin 3,000 x19 = 18,000 (11%) <- procity_street_bin_01
food_cart 4,991 x8 = 14,973 (9%) <- procity_street_food_cart_01
pole/lamp/trees/novelty (primitives) x303 = 2,180 (1.3%)
Identity confirmed by DCC-authored material names (wire_143225087 = a Sketchfab scan, baked_mat,
"2 wood frame ", Material_0) -- E's GLBs, not our procedural materials. Two use MeshPhysicalMaterial.
WHY NOW (and why it is NOT the density widening): shop count doesn't drive this -- ROAD density does. Real
towns put the bench/bin/shelter cadence on a 966-edge graph, so ~100 GLB props land in the streamed set
where synthetic had a handful. A 1.2m bench at 1,942 tris is ~5x the entire building stock in frame. This is
B's own R6 note coming due ("street_bin 3.0k tris... a decimate to ~500 would give back tri headroom if the
combined-lane budget tightens").
-> E, suggested targets: bench 1942->~250, bus_shelter 7998->~600, bin 3000->~200, food_cart 4991->~400.
149,161 -> ~29,000 (saves ~120k). Projected: my 163k -> ~43k; F's 221,935 -> ~102k. Both far under 200k.
Cheap extra: drop the two MeshPhysicalMaterials to MeshStandardMaterial.
-> Fable: a B-side fallback exists (furniture.js already has a primitive fallback for every GLB prop via the
R4 use-if-ready path), so a distance-gated LOD is a contained B change I can land fast. NOT doing it
unilaterally -- per the ledger this is E's, and source decimation helps every town/view, not just this one.
-> F: my baseline is 163,015 vs your 221,935 on the same view -- my automation's rAF is throttled so the live
gig crowd never spawns (citizens measured 0). Furniture is still ~68% of your number; decimation clears the
gate on either baseline. Re-measure against the live crowd, not my figure.

All five lanes in (A's venue cluster bias, B's selector-from-index, C's density door-soak, D's relocation
verify PASSES, E's 22-town pack non-gating); F gated and tagged.
- town_matrix.py: a `tram` dimension — B's R20 shop-adjacency ruling verified EXACTLY (newtown runs 16 stops
after B's phantom-stop fix, castlemaine 10; katoomba/fremantle/bendigo FENCED at 3/2/1 shops fronted, all
below the 5-shop floor). 10 towns x 7 gates: boot/determ/district/roads/tram/noassets green on all ten.
- index.html: expose window.PROCITY.tram — B built `routeInfo` FOR F's smoke but nothing published it; F owns
the shell, so F wired the seam.
- RECORDED (ledger #6b — the instruction was "record the new number"): the venue_night re-measure. A's cap
WORKED (posters 438->111) but E's density widening ate it — katoomba 200,965 (+965, R19) -> 221,935
(+21,935, +11%); bendigo 201k (+0.5%); fremantle/newtown/castlemaine in budget. Draws fine everywhere
(151/300 — half budget); tris-only, at the worst night stress view. Filed as R22's first item, where the
tri-diet backlog (instrument LOD, tram tri diet) already lives. katoomba is the outlier: 966 edges, 72 shops.
- Ruling (ledger #6d): the town selector stays ALWAYS-IN-HUD, not ?dbg-gated — THE REAL MAP's product IS the
towns. Corollary (F's own gap): money shots hide the HUD; the R19 alpha shot had the selector in-frame
because F's harness screenshotted the full viewport.
- Beta money shot: Fremantle's real street at golden hour — a corridor of shopfronts, footpaths, a crossing,
gum trees, and a genuinely busy crowd (the density widening, visible). 126d/167k tris, HUD hidden.
- docs: LANE_F_NOTES §20 (the honest why-R20-had-no-tag record) + §21, README beta paragraph, F-progress.
qa.sh --strict GREEN; selfcheck 154141/154141 (A's re-pinned goldens hold).

Verified A's venue cluster-adjacency bias (110c828), assigned from my R20 relocation
finding. selfcheck ALL GREEN 154141/154141 against A's re-pinned goldens.
ACCEPTANCE PASSES ON ALL FIVE (no venue with <3 shops in its 160m radius):
katoomba min 9 | newtown min 5 | bendigo min 5 | castlemaine min 4 | fremantle min 3.
Castlemaine's floor did NOT need an exemption.
MY HEADLINE FINDING IS CLOSED: katoomba's pub — "a gig with no passing crowd", 1 shop
at 1007m — now sits at 466m with 9 shops. Newtown is the dramatic fix: all three venues
were 2.2-2.4km out with 0-1 shops; its rsl now sits 29m from the hub with 11.
THE CROWD FOLLOWED (katoomba pub, same density/seed/21:00): passing crowd 34->66 (2x),
patron checks 226->442 (2x), inside frames 1042->1424, roster 2->3, 0 NaN.
TWO READINGS THAT NEED CARE:
- fremantle is the weakest pass: pub/rsl clear the >=3 bar but moved FURTHER from the
primary hub (969->1352m, 561->1292m) — A's bias optimises local cluster adjacency and
they found a secondary cluster. Letter satisfied, crowd healthy (pub roster 6, inside
2741), so not a miss — just named. A's call if they want it tighter.
- venue-win % DROPPING is not a regression (newtown rsl 100%->21%). It was only 100%
because the venue was alone; post-bias it has neighbours competing for finds while
total crowd rose. Isolation flatters that metric — ignore it post-bias.
D->F: relocation verify GREEN, no gate concern for v4.0-beta.
FYI F: selfcheck scans every towns/*.json on disk incl. E's UNTRACKED pack WIP — I saw
it transiently RED (newcastle_real, no open-late shop) then green minutes later. If you
gate while E is mid-fetch you may catch a false red; check if a failure is a pack town.
Still filed for v4.x: GIG_RANGE 34m radius vs single-chunk lookup (8.7% chunk-blind).
Flagged as unowned: R20's main-street relocation half (hero strip vs densest cluster).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ledger #5 pull-forward. Nothing here touches a golden until A absorbs in R22; F tags v4.0-beta with
or without it. selfcheck ALL GREEN 154141/154141, synthetic 0x3fa36874 unmoved, all 22 byte-identical
on re-run.
- Curated 18 candidates on secondhand density first (heroes are the game), a walkable 2-3.4km centre,
and a national spread; 17 survived -> 22 towns, 1192 shops, 298 heroes, all 8 states/territories.
fitzroy is the mecca (40 heroes/160 shops, 2x katoomba); thin tail toowoomba/darwin (3 heroes) left
in as honest data -- A/Fable may drop them in R22.
- FINDING: the 3x-hero cap is a CURATION FILTER, not just a density knob. Wollongong had ~62 real
shops but 1 hero -> capped to 4 -> dropped by the >=6 floor. A town without a secondhand strip
cannot inflate into a retail strip; John's SUBTLE directive does quality control for free.
- Newcastle: my centre was wrong, not the town (CBD held 2 heroes; the strip is Hamilton/Beaumont St).
Re-centred: 2 -> 9 heroes, 8 -> 36 shops.
- BUG (mine, shipped R18, caught here): fetch_roads_raw had no query-comparison while fetch_raw did,
so re-centring refetched shops but silently reused the OLD CBD roads -> Hamilton shops seated against
a graph 2.5km away -> the town marched out with ZERO shops (surfacing as 32 bogus 'open-late
invariant' failures; ten other no-video towns passing is what proved it wasn't the open-late rule).
Fixed: the roads path now compares its query too -- the bbox lives in the query, so a re-centre must
invalidate BOTH snapshots. Newcastle rebuilt: 34 shops seated, openLate=1.
- Discipline: bounded bboxes, raw snapshots committed (shops+roads), C's §6 mapping, SUBTLE guardrails
(heroes never subsampled, texture 3x, 2392 drops counted), ODbL. Overpass rate-limits hard at pack
scale (batch 1 died on a fatal 504 after 25 retries) -- courtesy sleep 4s, two polite batches.
-> Lane A (R22): 34 goldens to pin (17 new towns x base+gig); sizes 12->160 shops load-test your
capacity/overflow fences. -> Lane B: index.json now lists 22 towns (your selector already reads it).

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.

Re-ran everything against A's absorbed graph (5d29863, selfcheck 51866/51866).
Katoomba barely moved from my pre-absorb read (null 77.2->78.1, visits 64->62,
hero share 30->29%), so the earlier conclusion held.
SIM VERDICT: zero changes needed at 4x density. All five towns: 0 NaN, chunk rosters
stream (15-24), identity sigs accumulate (262-483), patronage/loiter/bench-sit all fire,
up to 401 active peds, no degradation. Determinism unchanged (identity is graph+seed
keyed; shops don't touch it). D->F: GREEN.
THE FINDING (for E/C/Fable): the widening MOVED the main street off the secondhand strip.
Hero visit-share falling (29%->0%) is NOT a behaviour bug — patronage is type-agnostic, so
visits track the local mix exactly. The mix is the story. Pre-widening the densest cluster
WAS the secondhand strip (katoomba: 9 of 9 main-street shops were heroes). Post-widening
the centre of gravity relocated 308m (katoomba) / 434m (castlemaine) onto the general-
retail cluster, where heroes are a 0-19% minority. Castlemaine's main street now has ZERO
secondhand shops (0 of 4 heroes within 160m; median hero 463m away). The heroes weren't
drowned in place — they were demoted: the liveliest street is no longer theirs.
The good half stands: heroes kept absolute footfall (katoomba 17->18 visits) and the
street is 3.8x busier. The widening works; it overshot the dial. This is exactly the case
John's directive pre-authorised ("E may seed-subsample the texture classes"). My read
(measurement, not a ruling — E/C/Fable own it): subsample texture until the secondhand
strip is again the densest cluster. Sparse towns need it most (bendigo 7%, castlemaine 0%).
ALSO FILED (A/F): venues land off the retail hub at density — newtown's three are all
2190-2433m out with 0-1 neighbours; katoomba's pub still 1007m/1 (A's "pub facade bias"
fixed frontage, not position). Quality call, not a break; "venue placement still lands"
is A's ledger + F's district gate. Castlemaine shows the good case (band_room on the hub).

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.

SELF-CORRECTION first. My part-1 note called the 95-98% patronage null rate
"sparsity-throttled" and made it the headline metric. Both halves were wrong:
(1) it was measured at 21:00, when only 4 of 69 shops are open — retail is shut BY
DESIGN, so a high night null is correct behaviour, not sparsity; (2) it sampled each
town's first venue, and katoomba's is the pub — 1000m from the retail cluster with 1
neighbour. I had parked the camera on the one isolated venue in town. Same town, same
seed: at the pub 99.4% null / 0 visits; on the actual main street 77.2% / 64 visits.
The gig-crowd table stands (it measures the mechanism — 0 NaN, rosters, venue-win —
which is location-independent); only my sparsity reading was bad.
THE REAL A/B (main street, 14:00, same seed, pre-cache from git vs E's widened):
hub density 8 -> 25 shops within 160m; null 90.2% -> 77.2%; total visits 17 -> 64
(3.8x); hero visits 17 -> 19; texture visits 0 -> 45; hero share 100% -> 30% of visits
from 26% of shops.
THE DIRECTIVE LANDS, measured from the crowd side: the secondhand heroes did NOT lose
footfall (17 -> 19). The 45 texture visits are added ON TOP, not taken from them. The
street is 3.8x busier while the heroes stay over-indexed. "More alive, not a different
game."
FILED: (a) venue placement at density — katoomba's rsl/band_room sit in the strip
(13/10 neighbours) but the pub is 1000m out with 1; a gig there has no passing retail
crowd. Quality observation, A/F's lane. (b) GIG_RANGE is a 34m radius but
_nearestOpenShop searches only the ped's own 64m chunk — 8.7% of in-range peds are
chunk-blind. Real but small; v4.x candidate, not a mid-beta hot-path change.
POST numbers are vs E's committed caches but BEFORE A's absorb (11/80 still overflow-
drop). Final re-run + the other four towns once A lands.

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.

The unblocked half of "citizens at density": the gig crowd's BEHAVIOUR on all five
real towns' venues, measured BEFORE E's widening so the after-table is a real A/B.
Density re-audit follows once E's caches + A's absorb land.
BEHAVIOUR IS CORRECT ON ALL FIVE: 0 NaN everywhere; tonightRoster populates (2-7),
so R14 identity continuity holds on real bones; every town generates 3 venues
(pub/band_room/rsl) on night hours; and the surge works — whenever a patronage check
finds any shop, the gig venue beats ordinary shopfronts (venue-win 100% on newtown/
fremantle/bendigo, 74% katoomba). Castlemaine's 40% is the 6-shop floor, not a leak:
3 of its 6 shops ARE venues, so "other" hits are mostly other venues.
FINDING (quantifies Fable's ledger #2 "real towns are sparse"): the crowd is
SPARSITY-throttled — 94.9-97.7% of patronage checks return null on every town, because
peds spend nearly all their time in shopless chunks (katoomba: 19 shops in ~5 door-chunks
of a ~78x78-chunk town). The mechanism is fine; the town has no shops per chunk. The
density widening attacks exactly this — null% is my headline before/after metric.
FILED (not fixed): GIG_RANGE is a 34m radius but _nearestOpenShop searches only the
ped's own 64m chunk, so in-range peds across a chunk edge are blind to the gig — 8.7%
of in-range ped-samples (852/9740) on katoomba. Small vs the 97% sparsity throttle;
not worth a hot-path change mid-beta. Revisit if the widening leaves null% high.

The density widening's C half: real towns fetch general retail, not just secondhand.
Published the OSM shop-class -> registry-archetype mapping in LANE_C_PUB.md §6 (new
v4.0-beta amendment; frozen venue contract §0-§5 untouched). C->E handshake: E builds to it.
- No new archetypes. General retail wears existing recipes: food/grocer/newsagent/chemist
-> milkbar; clothes/hardware/big-retail -> dept; produce/florist -> stall.
- Secondhand stays the hero (charity->opshop, books->book, music->record, video->video,
pawn->pawn, toys->toy); never subsampled. Unknown/unlisted -> opshop (R18-proven).
- Subtle per John: texture not takeover. Copy-paste JSON map + tasteful fetch list (skip
vehicle/funeral/industrial/pure-services) + guardrail for E to subsample if retail drowns
the secondhand strip (count in norm.dropped).
- Mechanic: plan_osm keeps registry types, so E bakes a registry type per the map into each
cache's shop.type -> no C code change, budgets unchanged.
Pre-validated before E builds to it: milkbar/dept/stall/opshop all build valid at a real
katoomba lot (8.5x14, 0 carves, <=143 draws); dept reads as a clean dressed-retail floor
(shelves+racks+counter, escalator does not dominate the 7.9x11.7 hall) -> clothes/hardware
-> dept confirmed. Full five-town door-soak (ledger #6) follows E's re-emitted caches.

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.

A resolved the R18 findings (fragmentation cull/join, poster clamp, goldens pinned) + D verified; F gated.
- town_matrix.py: a `roads` dimension — a schema-v2 cache (roads[]) must build the REAL street graph
(norm.mode==='roads', read via the plan_osm opts.report sink); synthetic/fixtures stay marched/synthetic.
10 towns x 6 gates: real roads green everywhere; classic/default proven untouched (roads ride the cache
schema, not a flag — 0x3fa36874 frozen).
- docs/shots/v4_alpha/katoomba_mainstreet.png: the first real-street money shot — Katoomba's actual main
street (asphalt + lane markings, footpaths, a pedestrian crossing, a walking crowd, gig posters, B's town
selector in-frame), PROCITY's look on real bones, 121k tris midday.
- docs: LANE_F_NOTES §18 (why F correctly HELD in R18 — the gate would have failed by design) + §19 (the
close), README real-roads note, F-progress.
qa.sh --strict --soak GREEN 7/7. One filed NON-blocking finding: katoomba_real venue_night 200,965 tris
(+965 / 0.5% over the soft ceiling, poster-count-scales-with-real-edges driven; midday play is 121k) — a
v4.0-beta hardening item (A caps posters per real town), on the opt-in --matrix warn-gate, not a play view.

Post-fix re-measure of my R18 finding against A's committed connectivity pass
(6fc4b40). Same harness, same seed.
VERDICT: fragmentation fully resolved, sim untouched. Real Katoomba:
components 105 -> 1, street-metres in main 58.2% -> 100%, shops stranded 2 -> 0
(1 bridged, 1 dropped past SEAT_MAX AND counted in norm.dropped), % near-crowd on
fragments ~10% -> 0%. selfcheck 51670/51670 green, katoomba golden pinned.
Mechanism check: re-ran R18's dead-straight-through-junction geometry — R18 dropped
the junction (deg 2, disconnected); R19 protects it (deg-4 crossroads, 1 component).
DP-collinear drop fixed at the source.
Sim confirm on the fixed bridged graph: 0 NaN over 1,303,200 samples, footpath-perfect,
loiter/bench-sit fire, patronage rose 24->41 (peds reach shops across the connected
graph), 0 fragment-stranded peds. Zero sim changes, as R18 predicted.
D->F: fragmentation verdict post-fix is GREEN — tag away. FYI B/F: edges rose 799->966
(junction protection + bridges), flagged for the tris budget.

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.

Audited the citizen sim on real irregular street topology. E landed katoomba_real's
real roads (484 ways -> 872 nodes/799 edges) mid-round, so this is measured on the
real Katoomba graph plus a crafted irregular proxy.
VERDICT: the CityPlan graph contract IS the contract — zero sim changes. On real
Katoomba (7.2deg junctions, 1303m edge, 105 components): 0 NaN over 1,095,500 samples,
peds footpath-perfect (0 off-footpath), loiter/bench-sit/patronage all fire, chunk
streaming works over non-grid, determinism byte-identical (1167 identity sigs, R14
chunk-local law holds). No source touched.
FILED FOR A: katoomba_real's graph is 105 components — main holds 58% of street-metres
+ 18/20 shops, but 42% of street-metres + 2 shops strand (~10% of near-main crowd
presence lands on tiny fragments). Primary cause is expected: median fragment 71.5m
from main = peripheral/bbox-clipped roads. Secondary (corroborated with Lane B on A's
selfcheck fixture): per-way Douglas-Peucker drops collinear junction points + no
mid-edge split — bites only the 9/85 fragments <10m from main. Reconciles with B:
B verified 126 intersections form (main component); I add the global measurement
(still 105 components). A fidelity knob (charter risk #4), not a blocker; sim degrades
gracefully (no crash). A owns the connect-tolerance decision.

Audited katoomba_real on E's real roads (schema v2, 484 OSM ways -> 799-edge/872-node graph, 126 real
intersections, edges 3.5m-1303m incl 28 short <12m, ~4x5km span). E's roads landed mid-audit; verified
fresh Chromium, cache-busted. Docs-only (no code change: streetscape is road-agnostic).
VERDICT: Lane B streetscape is ROAD-AGNOSTIC — boots real Katoomba 0-error, every B system builds and
renders on the irregular graph (ground, furniture 39 chunks/148 trees, town-wide pools, tram, chunk
streaming, buildings, wind). Real main street reads well (road+footpath+lamps+working gig poster+citizens).
Like C's interiors, needed no code change to eat real geometry.
FINDING -> F (gate-blocking, PROVEN one-line fix): the BIG_CITY adaptive heuristic misfires on real roads.
index.html BIG_CITY = plan.shops.length>120 -> Katoomba has 20 shops(<120) but 799 edges/5km, so it stays
small-town mode (radius 3 + shadows ON), streams 50-52 chunks -> busiest venue block ~280k tris (clean,
settled) = BREACHES 200k gate (draws 150 <300). Proven fix: ?r=2&shadows=0 (BIG_CITY mode) -> 84k day /
104k night, 20 chunks, 72 draws, well under. Recommend: BIG_CITY = shops>120 || edges>200 (catches
Katoomba's 799, leaves synthetic Boolarra's 22). B's R3 adaptive-streaming concept, edge-count not shop-count.
Tram (Fable's flagged spine risk): degrades gracefully, no crash. spinePolyline runs one main chain =
3527m/49 edges = 21% of 232 mains (longest walkable chain). Arbitrary-but-functional for alpha; smarter
route or hard fence = beta (no plan.mode marker exposed to fence off; didn't add untested fencing).
Furniture/pools scale: town-wide pools ~4989 instances = still ~1 draw; 28 short edges get 0 lamps
(graceful). Correction: the disconnected graph I first saw was a synthetic-fixture DP artifact (junction
vertices dropped on near-collinear ways) — real Katoomba forms 126 intersections correctly; flagged to A.

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.

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 +
in the node selfcheck, but the shell never loaded them → silent Melbourne fallback). Fail-soft
(404 / invalid / ?noassets -> fixture fallback); opt-in, never on the default or ?classic path.
- tools/qa/town_matrix.py (opt-in qa.sh --matrix): boot / determinism / budget / district / ?noassets
across 10 towns (2 synthetic hero seeds + 3 osm fixtures + E's 5 real AU caches). ALL 5x10 GREEN —
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.
- docs: LANE_F_NOTES §17 (the town x gate table), README real-town row, F-progress R17.
qa.sh --strict --soak GREEN 7/7. Verified: ?plansrc=osm&town=bendigo_real -> Bendigo, 9 shops, 3 venues, 0 errors.

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:

Ledger #4 (warm-up): publish.py --verify no longer false-flags non-procity_ published assets
(sit.glb, vintage-cash-register). It compares the _published.json name record against the depot's

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.

The real-map scout (ledger #6), A's half. Scope fence held: NO new plan features, NO golden moved
(classic 0x3fa36874, gig 0xb1d48ea1, all three osm fixtures frozen). The scout proves the EXISTING
?plansrc=osm contract eats real geography.
- The town-cache contract (published FIRST — E builds build_towns.py to it). plan_osm.js gains
validateTownCache() (authoritative {ok,errors,warnings}), registerTownCache(), a generatePlanOSM(..,
{cache}) seam, and TOWN_CACHE_SCHEMA/MIN_TOWN_SHOPS(6)/MAX_TOWN_SPAN_M(5km). Shape: {schema,key,town,
source,license,attribution,center{lat,lon},shops[{id,name,type,lat,lon,suburb?}]}. Home declared:
web/assets/towns/<key>.json (+ README.md full spec). Documented in CITY_SPEC v3.2 + LANE_A_NOTES R17.
- plan_osm hardened: blank name -> registry label; the validator gates finite center/coords + a >=6-shop
floor and warns on unknown-type(->opshop)/dup-id/span>5km. Proven vs thriftgod's real 2,828-shop
city_source.json: boots a valid plan, 0 bad coords, 0 'undefined' names.
- selfcheck: a committed synthetic-adversarial contract suite (valid-messy caches boot + pass structural/
gig; invalid reject; wide-spread warns; registry seam) + an auto-loader for web/assets/towns/*.json
(validate -> suites -> pin per-town golden), empty and green until E lands caches. ALL GREEN 15277/15277.
- v4 charter risk list (LANE_A_NOTES R17): the MEGA-STRIP (unbounded bbox -> 11.6 km strip; town selection
is E's real lever, warned >5km); sparse compact towns (2 km inner-Canberra held 6 shops); osm facades
clear (rows 54 m apart) so R16's bias is a no-op on real towns.
E->A handshake: E drops a cache in web/assets/towns/, the selfcheck prints its golden, I pin it.

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).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The closing half of F's bookend. All gates green on the flipped tree (qa.sh --strict --soak: classic
regression + default-boot gate + smokes + no-giants incl. the seated drummer + the full-week soak).
- tour_shots.py -> docs/shots/release_v3_1/: the money shots on the DEFAULT boot (no per-shot flag juggling
now the flip covers it) + a ?classic=1 before/after ("the town before v3"). 7 shots, settled, 0 page errors.
- week_soak.py: re-pointed to the default boot; the leak check now treats an at/below-baseline OR non-climbing
trail as leak-free (a decreasing tex trail is GC/atlas-settle, not a leak — it was false-failing at warn-level).
- docs: README v3.1 flags table (defaults on + ?classic=1), CITY_SPEC v3.1 amendment (the rewritten prime
law + classic covenant, A's deferred edit), LANE_F_NOTES §16, F-progress R16.
Numbers (seed 20261990): default @ venue block 124 draws / 57k tris (<=300/200k); ?classic 161 draws / 24k
tris (the v2 baseline); seated drummer 1.32 m stature; week soak 42 cycles leak-free (net +0/-6).

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

rain_verandah, tram_stop

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.

D moved the backline plant (66aec0f) to C's §3 corrected pose exactly
(band.js:236 = stage.x + stage.w*0.36, deckY, stage.z - stage.d*0.22).
Verified fresh (port-isolated context, seed 20261990, D's real GigCrew + GLB backline):
- matches §3 both venues; bass clearance 0.87 m (pub) / 0.92 m (rsl) — the R14
interpenetration (0.29 m) is resolved; on-deck; flanks C's primitive ampStack
(4.4 m pub / 3.5 m rsl) as a clean up-stage backline; no band/crowd clash.
- rendered pub gig confirms the read (amp up-stage behind the bassist).
LANE_C_PUB §3 updated RESOLVED; freeze otherwise stands. No code change (docs only).
Nothing else blocks on C — F runs the release (continuity wiring, alias delete, week
soak, tour, tag v3.0).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).

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

John OK'd direct publish. Pushed the 5 base instruments (14k) + 5 _hi hi-poly originals
via the passwordless tailnet ingress (this box is allowlisted). Public digalot.fyi now
serves the 14k bytes (amp 5.9MB->1.3MB) + the _hi originals; -70% decimation win is live
in production. _published.json 33->38; validate_manifest --depot GREEN. Gate-3 flag cleared.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
v3.0-alpha re-verified green (qa.sh --strict 6/6, 0 warn) on the shipped tree. Round 13
opens the beta: 2-4 venues (pub/band_room/rsl), full week schedule, posters town-wide,
the outdoor queue, walla+applause, night-readability pass — all behind ?gigs=1.
All six R12 debts assigned: gigKey contract (manifest key IS the gigKey, gig-<genre>),
D wires E's instrument GLBs, the drummer (band goes 4-piece — John may veto), the
RY_FLIP facing audit, A's poster verge offset, F's stature-gate hardening.
Three items for John, only the depot-publish OK blocks anything.

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.

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

Verified Lane D's R10 buildFigure span-normalize fix: qa.sh --strict GREEN 6/6 incl. the new
no-giants scale gate (24 interior figs / 6 shops all crown 1.4-2.0m, under-ceiling). The 3.83m I
first measured live was a STALE ES-module cache in a day-old browser tab, not a regression
(served rigs.js + fresh-chromium gate both correct).
Re-shot the v2 tour on the fixed tree: browsers.png now shows human-sized figures (browser at the
rack + keeper at the counter). night_crowd.png re-framed to a readable clean-night "lit VIDEO REGAL
amid CLOSED town" (pulled out of the rain group; reuses night_neon's tighter dist-12 pose).
Honest finding: night_crowd has no visible street crowd and can't without new work. Lane D's night
patronage parks ducked-in patrons hidden INSIDE the shop (they are the interior browsers), and this
seed's video shop is a low-traffic corner (tested: 0 patronage / 0 visible at night). Flagged for D;
a visible outdoor night queue is a v3 mechanic. ~20fps in night captures is a headless software-GL
artifact (scene is light: 128 draws / 65k tris).
Full-default soak PASS (heap 54MB stable, no perf drift, 0 errors). Tour README updated with stable
v2 filenames. v2.0 annotated tag staged separately (push held for John — public release + the
night_crowd caveat on his flagged money shot).

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.

Round-9 review: engineering landed but the headline feature is visibly broken — interior
rigs (keepers + browsers) render ~2x room scale, heads through the ceiling. Verified live:
head bone at world Y=3.83m in a 3.4m room vs requested 1.58-1.92m. Root cause narrowed to
bind-pose head measurement in rigs.js buildFigure (raw headY 82 at bind vs 180 animated,
~2.2x underestimate -> giant after normalize). Visible in D's own r9 acceptance shot and
F's tour 'browsers.png'; neither lane flagged it. Local v2.0 tag deleted (never pushed;
origin still ends at v2.0-rc). R10: D fixes pose-aware + adds a head-height QA gate, F
re-shoots browsers + night_crowd and re-tags v2.0 on the fixed commit.

Ship round. Docs + one selfcheck log-line only; no generator change ⇒ all three goldens
unchanged (synthetic 0x3fa36874, osm/melbourne 0x34cfdec0, osm/katoomba 0x0f652510).
1. CITY_SPEC v2 contract FROZEN — new "CityPlan v2 — frozen producer contract" section: producer
API, goldens table (keyed seed/plansrc/town) + how to pin a new one, town-key mechanism, osm
normalization rules, hours/openLate/storeys laws. Matches code as shipped (F diffs claims vs
code). Refreshed the stale round-6 Plan-sources blockquote to multi-town reality. Layer-1
changes now require a CITY_SPEC amendment + golden re-pin in the same commit.
2. Recipe sanity — DRY-RAN end-to-end: appended a throwaway Newtown (42 shops), selfcheck auto-ran
the full parity suite (1931/1932, only golden unpinned) and printed a paste-ready
`newtown: 0x9045e577,`. Reverted; no 3rd town shipped. Added the selfcheck `⚠ UNPINNED — add to
OSM_GOLDENS` line so the recipe is mechanical; fixed the recipe wording to match.
3. Closing-time occupant ruling (D's on-call Q) — ratifies + freezes what D's sim.js already does:
half-open hours, no new entry when closed, occupants DRAIN (finish bounded dwell) never popped,
player not force-ejected, openLate video is the night crowd. In CITY_SPEC + LANE_A_NOTES. No
code change asked of D.
qa.sh --strict GREEN; selfcheck 1727/1727.

Follow a ped into a shop and find them browsing. D owns occupancy truth; C owns browse points;
F wires the handoff. Validated end-to-end in-shell (?stock=real). qa --strict GREEN; v1 untouched.
Occupancy (D1): patronage records who's inside which shop by shopId. New
citizens.occupancyOf(shopId) -> {count, occupants:[{seed,enteredAt,pedIndex}]} (pedIndex = the
exact ped who ducked in, for identity continuity). Cleaned on emerge/chunk-drop/stream-toggle.
Deterministic: 17 shops + occupants byte-equal across two runs (fixed a stale-occupancy leak on
stream toggle).
Browsers: keepers.js gained browse:true (faces the shelf via ry, no player-greet) + pedIndex +
seedKey. Each = a merged ped ~1 draw. 12 enter/exit cycles: count == min(occupancy,3) 12/12,
worst 61 draws <=350 (C's headroom holds), leak-free (0 GPU delta after warmup), disposed every
exit via keepers.disposeAll().
Consistency (D2): inside peds hidden on the street (0 rendered), re-emerge at the door.
F handoff verified by running F's exact interior_mode wiring (enter -> occupancyOf ->
browsePoints.slice(0,min(count,3)) -> keepers.spawn). index.html setShops door points need
shopId:s.id added. Closing-time handled by the dwell model (pending A's explicit ruling).
Evidence: docs/shots/laneD/r9_browsers_in_shop.jpg. Changed sim.js + keepers.js + test page.

Measured worst interior with 3 two-draw rig proxies at browse points:
68 draws (opshop/hall) in the ?stock=real path — browsers add ≤6, ample
headroom. Flags the one tight spot for D/F: pre-existing GLB-on opshop/
hall is 344/350, so keep rigs impostor-cheap if ever stacked on GLB
hero-props there; F's sweep-with-browsers confirms ≤350.

Book/toy shelves get pull-and-buy over the SAME wallet; records keep the
deep dig. New stockpack.buildBuyableShelf(): a real shelf is merged,
per-item-ADDRESSABLE meshes — one per atlas (all covers drawn from one
seeded atlas → one draw/shelf), tagged noBatch so batch.js leaves them
intact. Aim a spine/box → pull card (title/author-or-maker/$price/band
from the pack index) → BUY debits the wallet, adds to inventory, and
collapseBuyItem() zero-areas the item's quad in place (removed from the
shelf, no geometry churn). Parody stock → no buy mesh → no card. Fail-
soft per pack; atlasPool() keeps each shelf single-atlas (one draw).
Test page: E interacts (bin→dig, shelf→card) + a #shelfBuy pull card;
shelfBuySoak() buys one item per book/toy seed. Validated: raycast→card

The crowd comes alive. Default-on for the streamed roster (behind ?patronage=0); v1 path
(?roster=v1) untouched — no patron fields, golden identity holds. qa --strict GREEN.
Patronage (D1): per-ped state machine walking -> going (steer to a nearby open shop's door,
seeded ~every 10m within 18m) -> inside (hidden, 5-20s seeded dwell) -> emerge (resumes walk).
Hours-aware: noon = all types (up to ~38 inside, 7 types); night = video-only (the openLate shop
draws the crowd, roll ramps up as streets empty). Deterministic (150 chunk-keyed ids), leak-free
(0 GPU delta over the churn), budget-neutral (inside peds hidden -> draws -1).
Weather (D2): reads Lane B's PROCITY.weather contract (no import). setWeather({state,intensity}).
Rain -> density -56% (40-60% target), walk speed +14%, more sheltering (inside 6->25); overcast
-10%; clear = v1.

The carried brief (slipped R7) lands complete — all four items, qa.sh --strict GREEN.
1. Selfcheck PARITY: extracted structuralSuite(plan,label) and run the FULL invariant suite
on every (source, town) — synthetic + both OSM towns get identical coverage (storeys,
one-shop-per-lot, facing, within/cross-block overlap, corridor coverage, determinism,
exactly-one-openLate). ALL GREEN 1727/1727 (was 1362; OSM went subset → full ×2 towns).
2. SECOND TOWN: Katoomba (Blue Mountains, 19 shops, op-shop/book heavy) — regional contrast
to inner-Melbourne. osm_fixture.js → OSM_TOWNS{melbourne,katoomba}+DEFAULT_TOWN;
generatePlanFor(seed, source, {town}); ?plansrc=osm&town=katoomba. Golden 0x0f652510.
Melbourne 0x34cfdec0 + synthetic 0x3fa36874 UNCHANGED (town key kept off the plan).
3. "Add a town" recipe in LANE_A_NOTES (R8): extract → OSM_TOWNS → pin golden → tell F.
4. Normalization + LOG: importer bends real data to the contracts (unknown kind→opshop,
hours-clamp so only one shop is openLate, video-preferred landmark w/ fallback) and logs
it via {report}; selfcheck prints per-town (e.g. melbourne hoursClamped:5, openLate:video).
For F: three goldens to pin, gate keyed (seed, plansrc, town); selector gained {town} — see

John unblocked GODVERSE DB access (m1ultra native-Postgres clones, read-only SELECT,
peer auth). All 3 packs rebuilt from real data:
- record 350: discogs_full.inventory (real store stock) join release/release_image,
real Discogs cover art.
- book 311 + toy 273: dealgod.products by category_path, real product photos + prices.
Metadata parody-transformed (deterministic, no source-token leak -> no real trademarks
in pack text); cover images are real release/product art (read-only, non-economy,
decision #2); book prices seeded (source is info-only, John's call). 15 atlases
published to the depot; indexes committed (the C contract) + staged for ?localdepot;

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

interior_mode builds makeStockAdapter(getStockPack(shop.type)) and passes it to BOTH buildInterior

Harness: added stock=real smoke (assert non-parody = batched userData.isStock atlas meshes > 0;

The first deliberate flags-off baseline change. On D's GO (43edabf: E1 ped sub-mesh merge
447188a validated → ~1 draw/near-rig → full density 241 worst-street draws <=300, leak-free).
index.html: chunk-streamed roster default-on (chunkStream:{radius:2}); ?roster=v1 restores the
old fixed roster (escape hatch); ?roster=stream still accepted (now a no-op). Hours-aware
setNightLivelyChunks keeps the open-late block lively at night.
Flags-off regression baseline RE-PINNED (same commit, prime-law amendment):
OLD (roster-off, v1.1): 163 draws, 19000 tris
NEW (roster default-on, R7): 164 draws, ~66000 tris
Draws barely move — E1's merge makes each near-rig ~1 draw (exactly what gated the flip). The
tris jump is the streamed crowd (D worst-view 65,899); it is frame-variable, so the drift WARN
is now DRAWS-ONLY, tris guarded by the STREET_TRIS_MAX hard cap. PLAN GOLDENS UNCHANGED
(synthetic 0x3fa36874, osm 0x34cfdec0).
Also fixed the harness roster probe (read a nonexistent prop c.streaming → was blind to
streamMode) + flipped the assertion to REQUIRE streamMode on default boot + added a ?roster=v1
escape-hatch check. flags_check GREEN; qa.sh --strict green; 0 console errors both modes.

The stockAdapter seam built in v1 finally eats. Lane E's stock pack (parody-
transformed Discogs metadata + cover atlas) feeds record-shop bins + the dig
riffle behind ?stock=real. Economy stays a stub (buying = toast).
- Contract handshake (task 1, unblocked E): confirmed E's index schema as-is
in LANE_C_NOTES (items[{id,title,artist,price,price_band,atlas,uv}]; uv
origin top-left, C flips V for WebGL; fail-soft; per-type packs).
- stockpack.js (new): preloadStockPack/getStockPack (cached) + makeStockAdapter.
Atlas texture + material are shared/cached (like depot GLBs); each sleeve is
a cover PLANE sampling the atlas at its baked UV, so all real sleeves in a
room batch to ONE draw (record: 59 draws).
- stock.js binFan: real cover planes (else parody canvas). dig.js: riffles real
covers, pull card shows title/artist/$price/band. interiors.js: opts.stock=
'real' wires the adapter (warn-once + parody fallback if pack absent). Test
page reads ?stock=real, preloads record/book/toy, passes the adapter to the dig.
Validated (E's staged 24-sample; real covers drop in unchanged when E gets the
DB): determinism 0/30, leak-free rooms + real dig (0/0 over 25 cycles), draws
<=139 all rooms (record 59), fail-soft on no-pack types, ?dig=1&stock=real

- theme.js: crateStack in record + opshop (back-room dressing); glassCase

Review debt: book room was 1,245 draws GLB-on. Diagnosed two drivers —
multi-material stock boxes (one draw per face, 6x) and one mesh per stock
item — then batched:
- stock.js: stock boxes are single-material now; every stock mesh tagged
userData.isStock.
- batch.js (new): batchRoom() two-tier merge, called from interiors.js before
the GLB upgrade. Room-level merge of all isStock across every fitting
(grouped by material, world transforms baked) + per-fitting merge of fixture
frames (kept in-group so record bins stay raycast targets for ?dig=1 and the
GLB upgrade can hide the fixture). Uses vendored BufferGeometryUtils
mergeGeometries.
- glb.js: frame-hide is now by isStock tag (not frame-count), so batched
fixtures hide while the room-level stock rides on the GLB.
- interior_test.html: drawSweep() asserts <=350 draws across all type x
archetype (GLB off and on), folded into the soak; exposed as

Flag ?roster=stream stays default-off; v1 path byte-identical (citizen-0 = R4 golden, passes
F1 flags-off regression). Full evidence memo in LANE_D_NOTES for the R7 default-on decision.
- Soak (in-shell, real town): 242 chunk builds/disposes over 3 walks -> 0 GPU geom/tex delta;
16 shop enter/exit -> 0 delta; heap oscillates 50->77->54MB (GC, no leak); 188 chunk-keyed
identities re-derive from seed; 0 console errors.
- Hours-aware density: added setNightLivelyChunks + NIGHT_LIVELY_FLOOR so the open-late video
block stays lively at night (31->16) while ordinary streets go near-empty (65->6). F call-site
documented (openLate lot -> chunkKey via sim.chunkKeyAt).
- Composition with ?dig=1: roster is street-tier, inert while interior/dig open (frame loop is
street-branch-only); enter/exit record shops leak-free with stream on. No shared state with any
v2 flag -> all-on combo safe.
- Budget gap found + made safe: each decimated ped is 8 sub-meshes / 2 materials = ~7 draws/rig,
so full-density stream (perChunk 16) hits 356 draws (>300 street budget). Set default perChunk 8
(291 draws, budget-safe today). The clean unlock for full-density default-on = merge ped
sub-meshes by material (8->2 -> ~2 draws/rig -> perChunk 16 fits ~260); documented as R7 work,
F1-safe (v1 spawn view has ~0 near-rigs).
Only web/js/citizens/sim.js + web/citizens_test.html changed (+ NOTES/progress).

The carried-over OSM plan source (no-showed R4–R5) lands complete, invariants green — a
second CityPlan producer behind the same contract, so B–F consume it unchanged.
- osm_fixture.js: 95 REAL inner-Melbourne secondhand/charity/music/book/toy/antique shops,
extracted deterministically from thriftgod city_source.json (Overpass cache), imported as a
module ⇒ ZERO network.
- plan_osm.js: generatePlanOSM(seed) — project lat/lon→metres, bin shops into latitude-band
avenues off a spine (real row + real E–W order preserved), march into a valid non-overlapping
CityPlan, centre on origin, report true 362×486 bbox, real shop names, one openLate video.
- index.js: generatePlanFor(seed, source) selector — default 'synthetic' BYTE-IDENTICAL
(golden 0x3fa36874 untouched); 'osm' → the importer. generatePlanOSM exported for F.
- selfcheck.js: parameterized by source — OSM runs the full structural invariant suite
(frontEdge/facing/no-overlap/chunk-coverage/finite/JSON/determinism/openLate) + its own
golden 0x34cfdec0; synthetic-only brief checks skipped. ALL GREEN 1362/1362.
- map.html: ?plansrc=osm renders it (reference wiring for F). Screenshot in docs/shots/laneA/.
- CITY_SPEC: plan-source note; LANE_A_NOTES R6: seam + goldens + shape-diffs for F's gate (F2).
Honest cut: street geometry regularized (real row+order drive it, exact metres do not);
name-parody deferred. qa.sh --strict GREEN.

- publish.py: _published.json now MERGE (read existing → union → sorted write), never
replace — fixes the R5 --only clobber (27→1). Proven: a real no-op re-publish kept it
at 27. Added --verify + post-publish drift-check vs the live depot (/api/list procity_*).
- validate_manifest.py: new provenance-drift gate — every manifest procity_* GLB must be
in _published.json or QA fails. Proven: simulated clobber (→1) exits 1 w/ per-file errors.
- Record verified: 27-entry _published.json is byte-exact vs the live depot.
- qa.sh --strict GREEN (5 gates incl. F1 harness).

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).

v2 features are procedural (no forced GLB needs), so E2 is light per Fable's "no
unconsumed entries": two synthetic depot props with clear homes — council-bin ->
procity_street_bin_01 (Lane B street dressing) + milk-crate-stack ->
procity_fit_crate_stack_01 (Lane C floor piles / dig). Both 3k tris, base-origin,
re-normalized to procity names + thumbs, published, verified loading, validate --depot
0 err. Manifest 18 fittings + 10 furniture (28 GLBs). Also noted B3 resolved
(novelty_record 26.5k->8k via E1 bake).

E baked the 6 heavy hero props to <=8k tris (c522464). Re-measured every
interior GLB-on (cache-busted to bypass the dev browser's stale HTTP cache;
production clients fetch baked directly):
- record 43.6k tris (C3 target, ~273k pre-bake), draws 322
- milkbar 38.9k tris (was 468k — the R4 over-budget flag is now CLOSED)
- all rooms <=107k tris; book is the draw-call outlier (1245 draws from ~9
bookshelf GLBs + ~600 primitive spines) — tris fine, interiors render
one-at-a-time so gate 3 unaffected; instancing spines is a future lever.

Ported 90sDJsim/web/world/dig.js → web/js/interiors/dig.js. Walk to a record
bin, press E, riffle its sleeves (scroll/drag), click the front sleeve to pull
it, BUY IT. Faithful to the source: hinge-forward riffle, pull-and-inspect
panel, procedural fwip/thunk audio.
- Riffle items = seeded procedural sleeves per bin via the stockAdapter(shop,
'sleeve') seam (parody 90s-AU records now; real GODVERSE records feed the
same seam in round 6+). Same bin ⇒ same order.
- Buy is STUBBED (toast + remove-from-bin; getCash returns a constant) —
economy is round 6+ per integrator decision #1.
- Own scene + camera; leak-free: per-open GPU resources (sleeve textures/
materials, crate parts) freed on every close(), persistent set freed on
dispose(). Dig soak (20× enter/leave) → leakGeo 0 / leakTex 0.
- Flag-gated (?dig=1): buildInterior is UNTOUCHED, so ?dig=0 boot is
byte-identical to v1 (prime law). The dig is wired only in the test page via
an E-key raycast; F owns the shell input/mode seam — hook documented in
docs/LANES/LANE_C_NOTES.md.
Verified: riffle + pull + buy-stub work; dig soak leak-free; placement
determinism unaffected; close returns to the interior. qa.sh --strict GREEN.

Implements the R3 design note (was design-only). Default-off; the v1 whole-graph path is
byte-identical when the flag is off (shell citizen-0 signature matches the R4 golden exactly).
- chunk-local identity keyed (seed, chunkKey, i) — same seed + chunk -> same residents,
independent of town size / visit order; home edge picked from that chunk's edges.
- windowed spawn/despawn: hook-driven via Lane B's onChunkBuilt/onChunkDisposed (sim auto-
detects and stops polling) + a camera-poll fallback that needs zero Lane B changes.
- global near-cap + mixer stagger + rig pool + impostor layer unchanged, run across live chunks.
- owner-chunk despawn (no cross-boundary re-keying); per-chunk time-of-day thinning (hours-aware).
Proven on a 9x9 fixture grid: constant far-field density (~58-129 within 70m at spawn AND 150m
out, vs v1's uniform ~12-15); deterministic (507 chunk-keyed identities re-derive from seed);
leak-free (2 full grid walks / ~380 chunk cycles -> 0 geom/tex delta, pool capped 30); budget
unchanged (near-cap 24 + 1 impostor draw, 2.31ms/frame). qa.sh --strict GREEN.
Only web/js/citizens/sim.js + web/citizens_test.html changed. Flag + shell call-site documented
in LANE_D_NOTES for Lane F to wire web/index.html.

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_*.

Round-5 §Lane C task 1 (the v1.1 gate). Map Lane E's R4-late re-exports in
glb.js:
- record_crate FIXED (E stripped sourceless AO/roughness slots) → crate/
recordBin upgrade to plastic crates with the procedural sleeves inside;
removed the stale "fails to load" comment.
- counter → 'counter_till' (the real ~1.6m timber counter WITH a modelled
till; NOT the 4m balcao). Footprint-fit + floor-plant + keeper-stand pose
unchanged.
- Double-till resolved (documented): counter_till carries its own till, so
the separate cash_register attach is dropped whenever the counter GLB is
live (falls back to cash_register on the primitive counter otherwise);
milkshake_mixer stays on the milk-bar bench, lifted +0.10m onto the taller
GLB counter.
Validated (GLB on, via depot): sweep+soak {throws 0, path 0, det 0, worst
10.4ms}, 0 rooms with a visible primitive till, leak-free vs a saturated
baseline (the transient 2geo/4tex first-sight is record_crate + counter_till
cache-fill). Primitive path byte-unchanged (glb.js-only edit). qa.sh --strict
GREEN. Contact sheet docs/shots/laneC/glb_v1_1_r5.jpg. → F can tag v1.1

Gate table (LANE_F_NOTES §4) rewritten to R4 all-green with measured evidence:
1 determinism (selfcheck 1301/1301, fingerprint 0x3fa36874) · 2 soak (37 chunks/20 shops,
heap 38->38MB, 0 errors, leak-free) · 3 budget (draws 138/tris 31k, decimated peds) ·
4 asset-free (heap 13->13MB, 0 net) · 5 selfchecks (qa.sh --strict 4/4, 23 GLBs on depot) ·
6 shots (10 full-frame 1280x720, no letterbox, night closed-facade + real interiors).
shots.py: interior tour shots (record/opshop) now capture via DBG.enterShop(id) directly —
they were passing {type} to enterShop (needs id) then calling shot() (which forces street
mode), so both showed streets. Now they show the themed interiors with keeper + hero props.
Verified by a 6-auditor adversarial v1-readiness workflow -> GO.

- 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.

D1: peds+keepers upgrade placeholder->rig in the shell; 12 enter/exit shops leak-free
(renderer.info.memory back to exact baseline); determinism holds across reload; ?noassets
fully placeholder with zero ped fetches.
D2 (gate-3 critical path): validated Lane E's decimated fleet — all 19 peds <=3k tris
(1564-2805, avg 2450), rigs bind+animate (skinning/skeleton preserved), 0 broken meshes under
eviction churn, silhouettes+identity intact, atlas bakes clean. Near fleet ~59.6k tris at the
24-cap (was ~1.2M) — F clear to re-measure gate 3.
D3: fixed a real bug found only in-shell — the impostor self-tone-mapped (toneMapped:false +
in-shader ACES), correct on the direct-canvas test page but DOUBLE-tone-mapped under the shell's
EffectComposer/OutputPass. Reworked to a standard toneMapped:true material outputting linear via
three's own tonemapping/colorspace chunks, so it matches the near rigs on both render paths.
setExposure is now a no-op (exposure is global). Verified noon+night in-shell.
Only web/js/citizens/impostor.js changed (+ NOTES/progress/R4 shots).

Round-4 §Lane C — map the 4 new hero props + cash_register (manifest now
14 fittings), validate, measure, clean up.
- glb.js: map listening_booth→listeningCorner (record), drinks_fridge→fridge
(milkbar), arcade_cabinet→new arcadeCabinet primitive (video focal prop).
New attachCounterTop() places cash_register on every counter's till slot
(hides the primitive till) + milkshake_mixer on the milk-bar benchtop;
counter primitive + keeper stand untouched. All yaw 0 (no correction).
- fittings.js: new arcadeCabinet primitive (footprint/height matched to the
GLB); counter exposes counterTop attach points + tags the primitive till.
- theme.js: arcadeCabinet in the video recipe; the 3 focal props (arcade,
listeningCorner already, +) raised to priority 6 + placed first so the
door-counter path loop can't pull them → 24/24 appearance.
- interiors.js: thread recipe.key to upgradeRoom (gates milkshake_mixer to
milk bars).
- interior_test.html: load GLBs via the live depot: path (drop the deleted
_local_glb localBase shim; ?localdepot=1 still works offline).
Validated (all via live depot): primitive sweep 810 {throws 0, pathFail 0,
detFail 0}; GLB-on soak {throws 0, path 0, det 0, leakGeo 0, leakTex 0,
worst 7.3ms}; all 5 new props render planted/scaled/facing right (contact
sheet docs/shots/laneC/glb_heroprops_r4.jpg). Room tris measured: milk-bar
GLB-on ~468k (drinks_fridge 77k + milkshake_mixer 73k) — reported to Lane E
as the #1 bake-pass target (not fixed, per integrator decision #2; interiors
render one-at-a-time so gate 3 is unaffected). record_crate still broken +
counter still oversized — both await Lane E re-export (C task 5). Deleted the
stale web/assets/_local_glb/ validation copy. qa.sh --strict GREEN.

v1-tag round. Two confirmations + one hardening fix; qa.sh --strict GREEN (4/4).
A2 — openLate: F's night gate `hours[1] >= 22` matched 4–15 shops/seed (regular videos
jitter base-21 → 22), not the single landmark the shell assumes. Fixed in plan.js: regular
shops close by LATE_HOUR-1 (21:00); only the deterministically chosen openLate landmark
reaches ≥22, pick is now video-first. So `hours[1] >= 22` and the `openLate` field are the
same singleton, always the video rental (verified 15 seeds). Makes generation match
web/index.html:159-161 + soak.py:68 ("at night only the openLate shop is open"). selfcheck
asserts exactly-one / field⟺threshold / is-video. ALL GREEN 1301/1301.
A1 — Lane F's F2 permittedMax storeys scoping: confirmed 0 warnings across 7 seeds + a
false-negative test (injected video@2 in a scratch checker → caught every seed).
GOLDEN.hash 0x098eec2b → 0x3fa36874: intended A2 output change (a few videos close 21 not
22 for seed 20261990), NOT drift; F2 is tooling-only. Same lots/shops/types/names/skins.

- 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.

Fable round-3 §Lane D (all three tasks):
- sim.js: add CitizenSim.setExposure(e) passthrough so mid-tier billboards track the
shell's per-segment renderer.toneMappingExposure (lighting.js animates it); stored so it
survives the placeholder->rig atlas re-bake. Verified: uniform tracks 0.55<->2.3 and
persists across the fleet upgrade.
- Keeper GLB-rig upgrade contract verified leak-free (my side): 15 enter/exit cycles with a
fleet-backed rig keeper leave renderer.info.memory geo/tex exactly at baseline. Enabling it
in the shell is one arg (pass `fleet` to KeeperManager) once F's §3.4 lands.
- LANE_D_NOTES: exact Lane F call sites for setExposure + keeper fleet-upgrade, and the
chunk-streamed roster v1.5 design note (chunk-local identity, windowing, ownership/hand-off,
budget, opt-in migration) — design only, no implementation.
Code touches only sim.js; no sibling files edited. Determinism still passes, near cap 24,
mixer 0.3ms, no console errors.

Cross-lane note (ROUND3 process rule: notes for other lanes go in docs/LANES/):
qa.sh's storeys warnings are benign corner anchors (finding #5 stale), with the
exact permittedMax rule for Lane F to scope its checker; openLate/hours contract
confirmed ready for §3.5.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS 'Lane A — on-call + one verification':
- F finding #5 (shops with storeys outside registry range) verified STALE across 8
seeds: zero violations. Single-storey types (video/milkbar/stall) never exceed 1;
the only shops above registry max are the intentional 3-storey corner anchors
(tall-capable types), exactly per CITY_SPEC. Round-1 cornerBoost gate already
prevents the reported bug. This is also the source of qa.sh's 5 benign storeys
warnings (flagged for Lane F to scope to permittedMax).
- Hardened the selfcheck storeys assertion from the too-lax <=max(mx,3) to the exact
permitted range (max>=2 ? min(max+1,3) : max), so a single-storey type exceeding 1
now fails loudly. Proven non-vacuous. selfcheck.js only — plan output/fingerprint
unchanged (golden 0x098eec2b still matches, confirmed per task 2).
- Documented the storeys corner-anchor rule in the CITY_SPEC schema.
- hours/openLate contract unchanged; ready for Lane F's §3.5 consumer.
qa.sh --strict GREEN (4/4). Committed atomically by pathspec (shared-tree race).
