THE STREET (ledger #3). redhill_real: Red Hill, Brisbane — 36 shops (9 heroes + 27 texture,
-29 subsampled), 884 roads, median NN 73 m. **Musgrave Road is in roads[] (41 ways, primary +
residential)** — that was the point: Monster Robot Party's real shop now has its real street.
One bounded Overpass fetch under the standing authorization; raw snapshots in _raw/, ODbL, C's
mapping. This is G's donor for godverse_town.py -> redhill_godverse.
TWO HAZARDS HANDED TO G/A, both measured against the real geometry (notes R24 §1):
(a) The shop is NOT in OSM — no shop=music node, no name match anywhere in the bbox (checked the
raw snapshot, not the emitted cache). It cannot arrive via the fetch; G must inject id 3962749
from the census or the town ships without the shop the release is about.
(b) THE SEATING HAZARD: A's lift seats on the NEAREST edge, and from G's geocode three streets
are nearer than the addressed one — Zig Zag Street 38.6 m (residential), Craig Street 46.1 m,
Musgrave Road 51.6 m. The shop would seat on Zig Zag St and the headline would quietly become
false. Measured fix (G's call): the point on the real Musgrave centreline nearest G's geocode is
-27.455169, 153.006902 — 0 m to Musgrave, next candidate 43 m. Snaps the street, does NOT verify
the house number; I have no address data for where #147 sits along the road.
THE HONEST GATE (ledger #4). F's catch was right and there were FOUR bugs: the glob used the
published-contract name the runtime can never load (0 matches -> returned 0: it passed identically
whether atlases were absent, misnamed, or perfect); the code read provenance top-level while my own
docstring said nested (G nested it correctly — the gate would have failed G's real artifact);
licence/license; and a stale ceiling. Rebuilt on the "runtime is the authority" ruling: globs
stock_godverse/<id>/stock_<type>_index.json, type in {record,book,toy}. Vacuous-gate law implemented
literally — 0 matches + stray files FAIL (listing them); 0 matches + empty dir prints
"atlas-QA SKIP: no atlases present (0 files matched glob ...)"; plus an id equality
(shop.godverse_id == dir) so it proves it touched its subject. Proved on four cases: empty -> loud
SKIP, misnamed (F's exact bug) -> FAIL, unparseable -> FAIL, G's real atlas -> PASS (120 items,
2 atlases, licence printed). My own test found a fifth hole — the glob still matched the old
stock_shop_* name, so the misnamed case failed only incidentally; added a STOCK_TYPES name check
so it fails for the RIGHT reason. A gate that fails for the wrong reason will pass for the wrong
reason later.
BALLARAT — RETIRED, counted, and a DIFFERENT illness from Toowoomba (notes R24 §3). Toowoomba was
dead everywhere. Ballarat is alive exactly where the game isn't: 103 POIs, densest 400 m disc = 47
of them (Toowoomba's was 3) — but that disc is cafes/clothes/bakeries while the op-shops sit 854 m,
1042 m and 1709 m out. Heroes and density don't coincide, so no bbox holds both. Real builds at
every span: 1.0 km -> 8 shops/184 m/hub 4-8 but ZERO op-shops (a thrift town with no thrift shop);
2.0 km -> 12/186 m/3-12; 3.0 km as shipped -> 20/255 m/4-20. Every row worse than any shipped town.
THE BINDING CONSTRAINT WAS MINE, NOT OSM'S: with 2 heroes the 3x texture cap keeps 6 of 47 texture
POIs and the subsample is spatially blind, so survivors scatter at any span — part of the 255 m A's
warn caught was my own cap's fingerprint. Seeding texture near heroes fixes the class but moves
every town's golden -> filed as a v5.x proposal, not done in a release round.
I OVERSTATED MY R23 ADVICE TO A: the hub fraction is NOT a standalone discriminator — glebe (shipped,
healthy) reads 13% and redhill 14%; a hub threshold would false-flag both. Median NN is the robust
primary; hub is only comparable at equal shop counts (toowoomba 2/12 vs darwin 7/12 was fair because
both had 12). The raw-vs-seated calibration point stands.
METHODOLOGY, recorded because it nearly shipped: I picked Ballarat's span from an offline simulation
that predicted 68 m / hub 5-8, and had already written those numbers into a config comment as fact.
The real build returned 184 m / 4-8 — same counts, different sample. Never trust a re-implementation
of the pipeline's own selection; run the pipeline.
-> A (batched pins): ADD REAL_TOWN_GOLDENS['redhill_real']=0x6046700f and
REAL_TOWN_GIG_GOLDENS['redhill_real']=0x673785ee (the headline town currently only WARNS as
UNPINNED — ungated until you pin it). REMOVE ballarat_real 0xf0a9e8a1 / 0xf097c331 — dead config by
your own R23 note.
-> F: tools/qa/tour_shots.py still shoots town=toowoomba_real, which I deleted in R23 — the v4 tour
breaks on a missing town. Your file, your call. A retirement isn't done when the cache is deleted;
it's done when the consumers are swept.
-> C: built to the runtime + G's real artifact per the ruling; LANE_C_PUB §7 line 271 still names the
contradictory stock_shop_<id>_index.json. I reconcile when your corrected contract lands.
Determinism receipt: the retirement forced a full 21-town rebuild from cached raw (no refetches) and
every existing cache came back byte-identical — only ballarat, redhill and index.json moved. Pack:
21 real towns · 1196 shops · 299 heroes (22 rostered with G's newtown_godverse). Selfcheck ALL GREEN
149,696, synthetic golden 0x3fa36874 unchanged. qa.sh --strict --matrix: 7 passed / 0 failed, MATRIX
GREEN 10x7.

The optional shop key that resolves `stock_godverse/<godverseShopId>/`. Schema STAYS v2 (optional field ⇒
every shipped cache still valid, the 21 osm caches untouched by construction). Published to
web/assets/towns/README.md — the doc G and E build to — plus CITY_SPEC. selfcheck ALL GREEN (+15 checks),
synthetic 0x3fa36874 frozen, NO golden moved.
THE BRIEF'S "THE POS SHOP ID IS THE ID — NO MAPPING TABLE" IS FALSE FOR THE ONE SHOP THIS ALPHA IS ABOUT.
G's own docstring says it: Monster Robot Party is NOT in thriftgod's census, so its id is its DEALGOD STORE
ID 3962749, while census shops use thriftgod ids (max 2992) -- two disjoint spaces, deliberately kept clear
of each other. Had I coded "godverseShopId == shop.id" or derived it from the census, the headline shop
could never be keyed. So it is an OPAQUE key: no derivation from `id`, no equality assert, no mapping table
(the R12 gigKey law -- one key, zero mapping; G emits, everyone reads).
THE FIELD HAD TO SURVIVE THE LIFT OR IT WAS DECORATION. plan_osm builds a FRESH shop object and copies
nothing unknown, and the runtime reads plan.shops[], never the cache -- so a cache-only field could never
reach F's per-shop base. It's now carried through, CONDITIONALLY: absent ⇒ the key isn't written ⇒
JSON.stringify byte-identical ⇒ every pinned golden holds until G re-emits (that re-emit IS the sanctioned
move). Proven end-to-end: a keyed cache puts `stock_godverse/3962749/` on the plan with census ids
(101..107) coexisting alongside it.
ARMS SPLIT BY HAZARD, NOT TIDINESS:
- malformed -> ERROR. It names a path segment; "3962749" vs 3962749 is the same folder but different JSON,
and that coercion drift is the exact species that broke C's atlas contract (licence/license).
- duplicate -> ERROR. Two shops keyed to one atlas IS mis-stocking -- charter risk #3 forbids it by name.
- missing on a godverse cache -> WARN + fail-soft to tier 0.
RECORDED DEPARTURE (Fable's to overrule): ledger #2 says validateTownCache "requires" the field; I made
MISSING a warn. Three reasons. (1) The charter's determinism boundary is "world = seeded, frozen, gated;
stock = data tiers" -- an error inverts it, failing to load a TOWN because its STOCK identity is absent;
tier 0 must always boot. (2) Charter risk #3 names the remedy for identity gaps: "fail-soft to tier 0,
never mis-stocked" -- missing IS the soft case, duplicate is the hard one; they are different failures and
now get different arms. (3) Sequencing: newtown_godverse carries 0 ids today, it is G's to re-emit in wave
2 (their namespace, no census DB on m3), so a hard error would red the tree for C and E through all of wave
1 to say what the warn already says.
The requirement keeps its teeth where R23 taught us to put them -- the VACUOUS-GATE LAW: selfcheck FAILS on
partial keying (a half-keyed town silently mis-stocks the rest) and prints an explicit
"⊘ SKIP ... 0/18 shops carry godverseShopId. Subject absent ... binds the moment one id lands" at zero. It
names its subject, proves it touched it with a count, and cannot pass vacuously.
FILED FOR G BEFORE THEY START (measured in wave 1, so it costs them minutes not a wave): redhill_godverse
cannot contain Monster Robot from EITHER source. godverse_town.py takes roads from the OSM donor and shops
from the census, and the shop is in neither -- not in the census (G's R23 finding), and NOT in E's
redhill_real, which I checked the moment it landed: 36 shops, ZERO of type `record`, nothing matching
/monster|robot/. As written the adapter yields a Red Hill of census charity shops while the atlas keys to a
shop that isn't in the town -- F's #7b id-equality gate would fail at the end of the round. It must be
injected explicitly; the opaque-key design exists precisely to serve that case. Second trap on the same
path: redhill_godverse must still clear MIN_TOWN_SHOPS (6) from the census bbox or the cache is rejected
outright (hard error). E's donor is otherwise good: valid, no warns, 73.3 m median spacing.
HOUSEKEEPING: removed toowoomba's two stale pins -- E retired the cache in R23, and a golden for a town
that cannot load can never fire (the vacuous-gate law, one layer down). E's attempt also proved my R23
spacing metric is GAMEABLE: the re-bbox fixed the median (395.7 -> 89.4 m, "passes") while hub density fell
3/12 -> 2/12, the pack's worst. It is necessary, not sufficient -- D's hub test is the complement, and E
used both and refused to game it. Ballarat (255 m) is still flagged and still E's call; I pin what moves.
PINS NOT TAKEN YET, DELIBERATELY: redhill_real is untracked/in-flight (E still editing build_towns.py), and
redhill_godverse + the re-keyed newtown_godverse don't exist until wave 2. Pinning a moving file buys a
false green or a spurious red. The round's law says A pins these BATCHED -- that batch lands when E commits
and G's caches are in.

godverse_stock.py splits at THE SNAPSHOT BOUNDARY: `snapshot` (runs where the DBs are; freezes
every source row + every cover's sha256) -> `pack` (pure: snapshot + bytes -> atlas, no DB, no
network). That split is what lets E's validate_atlas gate G's output on m3 without dealgod.
Artifact: web/assets/stock_godverse/3962749/ — crate 550 "DEEP HOUSE", 120 real records, 2
atlases (2048^2, 256px cells, E's contract verbatim). Byte-identical re-bake verified; resolves
through C's untouched stockAdapter (120 items, real titles/prices, one material per atlas =>
one draw); missing atlas -> null -> parody, zero console noise.
THE BRIEF'S PREMISE DIDN'T HOLD (measured): no Newtown record shop has stock in any database
(Egg Records / Papa Disquo / Haze Guitars / Vintage Record / Downtown Music: 0 items each).
dealgod.stores is not a census — 8,754 of 9,285 are Discogs seller accounts, zero Newtown.
thriftgod.item is a demo seed (2,221 items, 29 shops, all Brisbane/Newcastle charity, zero
record shops). mint() cannot produce tier 1: TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM (0.5) + unseeded random.* —
random.seed appears nowhere in server.py — and it assigns other sellers' listings to shops that
never owned them, voiding the licence law's "the stores' own product shots" green and making
write-back meaningless. Not risk #3's fuzzy matching: a population mismatch, nothing to match to.
What we shipped instead is truer: monsterrobot (147 Musgrave Rd, Red Hill, Brisbane — John's
ruling) is one real shop in three datasets — recordgod (its POS: 28,624 live vinyl, 24,914 in
357 real crates with real labels and slot numbers), monsterrobot.party (its own site: the covers
are the SHOP'S OWN product shots), dealgod store 3962749 (the cover cache + the godverse id;
clear of the census space, thriftgod max shop id = 2992). 99.3% of its crate stock joins to a
cached cover by Discogs release_id. Drops counted: 120 of 122 baked, 2 lacked an own photo.
John's R23 rulings recorded: the crate ships as the shop it really is (Red Hill, not Newtown);
real titles/artists at tier 1 — an amendment to the no-real-trademarks law build_stock_pack.py
enforces, same shape as the licence law (in-house green, flagged before anything public).
G3_ECONOMY_DESIGN.md drafts the API surface, async enrichment (the dig never blocks), failure
modes, identity, the PII fence (recordgod holds real customer/staff/sales — pipeline reads only
inventory/crate/disc_cache), and frames the write-back question for John (§7) against a real
trading shop with Square sync and an existing hold_expires_at primitive. No default, per law #4.
Asks in G-progress (both outside G's namespace, both gate the crate reaching a room): per-shop
packs aren't wired (stockpack.js caches by type alone — confirmed live: a base override is
silently ignored, so two stocked shops collide; C owns the wording, G re-emits), and redhill_real
doesn't exist (needs E's build_towns.py + one Overpass fetch; G touched neither).

1. validate_atlas (the G2a format gate). pipeline/validate_atlas.py, wired into validate_manifest so it
runs in qa gate 3. Judges Lane G's tier-1 atlases from the COMMITTED FILES ALONE -- no dealgod DB, no
network. No atlases yet => clean pass, so it's in place before G's lands. Enforces: provenance
{license, attribution, generator, snapshot} (charter law #3 + determinism); NO private-individual item
fields (law #3); 1 atlas/shop hard cap 2 (C §7.1); <=1024², 2048² only for a 60+ item shop (C §7.2);
declared atlas_px == the atlas's REAL pixels + every listed atlas exists; schema/UV/bands/dup-ids
(C §7.3). The licence string is PRINTED, not pattern-matched -- clearing photos for public release is
a human call, so the gate surfaces it. Dependency-free PNG/WebP header parser. Tested against a
10-case matrix (real 2048² WebP + 1024² PNG): good passes clean, all 9 violations caught.
2. toowoomba RETIRED (my call, counted). Tried the re-bbox FIRST: 3.0km CBD-wide -> 1.6km on the Ruthven
St heart. It fixed the named metric (median NN 395.7 -> 89.4m raw, 'passes') but made the real thing
WORSE: hub density 3/12 -> 2/12 within 160m, the pack's worst (D's alive-darwin is 7/12). Its shops
are PAIRS strung along a road, not a high street; densest 300m cluster is 3 shops (< MIN_TOWN_SHOPS),
so no tighter box exists. Shipping it would have gamed the number while leaving a town nobody shops in
(D: 0 finds / 1417 checks). Config entry kept commented with the rationale. Pack: 21 real + 1 godverse
= 22 rostered, 1180 shops, all 8 states/territories (QLD keeps westend). selfcheck ALL GREEN 152015.
-> Lane A, before you freeze the spacing warn (#5): (a) your validator sees the CACHE (raw lat/lon) but
D's numbers are SEATED (post-lift) -- darwin is 27m seated vs 68.3m RAW, so a threshold picked off D's
table would FALSE-WARN darwin; calibrate on the raw spread (daylesford 11.6 ... braddon 119.2,
ballarat 254.6 -- a ~200m line has daylight). (b) median NN alone is GAMEABLE: my re-bbox improved it
4.4x while the town got worse -- the hub fraction is the discriminator, and my raw hub metric
reproduces D's darwin exactly (7/12), so it's directly encodable (alive ~38-75%, dead <=20%).
(c) ballarat is a SECOND spread town D's two-town comparison missed (NN 254.6m, hub 4/20 = 20%) -- it
will trip your warn, correctly. Not retired: the ledger named toowoomba only.

B's diagnosis nailed it: 149,161 of 163,015 tris (91.5%) at katoomba venue_night were four of my GLB
street props. Buildings 348, posters 222 (A's cap worked, never the lever), pools 0. B's sharpest point:
it is NOT the density widening -- road density drives the bench/bin/shelter cadence (~100 props on a
966-edge real graph).
Fix (collapse-decimate via the R13 instrument tool; originals kept as _hi):
bench 1942 -> 500 rendered 60,202 -> 15,500
bus_shelter 7998 -> 2500 rendered 55,986 -> 17,500
bin 3000 -> 800 rendered 18,000 -> 4,800
food_cart 4991 -> 1000 rendered 14,973 -> 3,000
furniture total 149,161 -> 40,800 (-108,361)
Projected view ~54.7k (B's 163,015 baseline) / ~113.6k (vs F's 221,935) -- PASSES the 200k gate either
way with 86-145k spare. F: these are projections off B's per-instance attribution; yours is the real
measure. -> F: RE-MEASURE.
Eyeballed every prop; two needed re-cutting: bus_shelter @1000 shredded (thin roof plate on a
voxel-remeshed shell) -> @2500 clean; bin @400 creased -> @800 clean. food_cart's black base slab is in
the SOURCE model (confirmed against the pre-diet thumb from git), not a decimation artifact.
Zero blast radius: dims/footprints/heights identical -> manifest.json byte-identical -> B's placement and
A's goldens untouched. Published 4 diet + 4 _hi archives to the depot (John re-authorized explicitly;
GLBs are git-ignored so the depot IS the archive).
-> Lane B (your 2nd note, cause found, NOT fixed by design): the MeshPhysicalMaterial on bench+food_cart
is KHR_materials_specular in the glTF, and it survives a Blender re-export. Fix = neutralise specular
pre-export. Deliberately deferred to v4.x: the gate is tris (cleared), and changing shipped shading in
a release round without a visual re-verify is risk for no gate benefit. Same list: food_cart is 3.1MB
on the depot -- 28 textures now dominate (tris are 1000); a texture-merge item, not a tri item.

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).

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).

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.

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 half-day handshake so E's build_towns.py can fetch road geometry (ledger #1). Optional roads[]
on the town cache carries real OSM way geometry; plan_osm's graph lift (consuming it) follows in the
next commit. v1 caches (roads absent) stay valid — the marched fallback — so nothing shipped regresses.
- validateTownCache accepts schema procity-town-cache/1 AND /2; when roads[] is present each road must be
{ kind:string, pts:[[lat,lon],…] } with >=2 finite points (else rejected); <2 pts dropped, unmapped
highway kind → 'side' (warnings). ROAD_KIND maps OSM highway=* → CityPlan edge kind (main/side/lane/arcade).
- Full v2 contract in web/assets/towns/README.md (the doc E builds to): shape, road validity, the kind map,
the fidelity knob (charter risk #4), and the bbox-bound-the-roads rule.
- E's 5 existing v1 caches re-validate clean; selfcheck ALL GREEN.

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
full file list (fetch_depot_files) instead of a procity_ prefix filter; only OUR namespace flags as
unrecorded. --verify now: all 39 recorded assets live.
Ledger #6 (the scout): new pipeline/build_towns.py ports thriftgod build_city()'s Overpass route to
per-town caches in A's procity-town-cache/1 contract. 5 real compact AU towns under web/assets/towns/
(katoomba/newtown/fremantle/bendigo/castlemaine, 6-21 shops, spans <2.4km): bounded Overpass query ->
raw cached in-repo (re-runs never re-fetch) -> dedupe/suburb-fill/parody (trademarked chains only;
indie shops keep real OSM names)/type-map. Deterministic (byte-identical re-run, no RNG). ODbL:
SOURCES.md licence table + license/attribution on every cache. All 5 boot through the full
structural+gig suites (selfcheck 16596/16596 green; synthetic golden 0x3fa36874 unmoved). Overpass
fetch John-authorized (Standing #2).
-> Lane A: caches live under web/assets/towns/; pin the per-town goldens selfcheck printed (katoomba
0x61760542 newtown 0x95978b45 fremantle 0xee9fd09a bendigo 0x5e3e76a6 castlemaine 0xf1a628a1) +
feed through plan_osm. E->A handshake.

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.

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).

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
section + LANE_A_NOTES handshake for C/D/B/F. Atomic pathspec commit (shared-tree race).

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).

Audit -> normalize (16 GLBs + thumbs) -> web/assets/manifest.json (the
contract Lanes B/C/D read) -> facade gap-fill.
Step 4 facades generated locally on the M3 Ultra via MODELBEAST
flux_local (FLUX.2-klein-4B / MLX on MPS): 23 skins, free, ~5.7s each,
blank signboard, eyeballed, harvested, mapped to shop types. Every
registry type now has >=3 facades (stall 2->4, closing the Lane A gap).
Corner-lot -side walls tagged face:"side" with empty types so no shop
front ever selects a windowless wall. manifest validates green.
Still gated on John (both optional -- the game runs asset-free):
publish the 16 GLBs to 3GOD (needs GOD3_PW), MeshGod hero props (~$2.70).
