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.

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).
