THE RECONCILIATION. The brief's naive sum (292 + washing 1 + magpie 1 = 294) is wrong, in our
favour. The pinned worst-DRAW frame is a NIGHT frame and both of wave 1's draw-spending layers are
structurally zero at night: the washing comes in (count 0), the magpie roosts (count 0). Wave 1's
one draw is spent in daylight, where the walked peak sits ten draws lower.
Two pinned trees, assets symlinked to the live tree on BOTH sides, 802 stations at 2 m down the
main spine at yaw 0 (the worst bearing), citizen sim and tram LIVE, 1280x720:
NIGHT worst draws 292 -> 292 (+0) tris 120,145 -> 122,879
NOON worst draws 282 -> 283 (+1) tris 99,872 -> 103,118
?classic=1 269 / 90,580 unmoved
fitzroy_real 172 / 130,727 unmoved bendigo_real 204 / 131,492 unmoved
(even with ?magpie=1 forced)
The control reproduced R37's pin TO THE BYTE, twice, on a fresh checkout. Every revert is exact:
?yards=0 at night returns all three control numbers; ?yards=0 at NOON returns 282/99,872, which
isolates the noon +1 to the washing and nothing else. MARGIN IS STILL EIGHT DRAWS.
LANE B's "control 346", answered rather than dismissed. As a delta it is the wall-clock ped-spawn
artifact R37 named, and B was right to hide the sim. But 346 > 300 is a claim about the world, and
neither stepwalk (walks the chunks in, photographs a half-dressed street) nor dwell (fills the
street, arrives clean at 27 chunks) can adjudicate it. budget_walk.py gains --method stepsettle:
the audit's fixed-yaw stations, each DRAINED then held N real rAF frames — R+1 dispose residue AND
a fully-acquired crowd in the same frame. Like for like on the same 101 stations, the settle is
worth +3 draws at noon and -9 at night, and the SIGN FLIP is the finding: at night the settled
street retires near rigs to impostors (tris 120,145 -> 100,939) — the crowd goes home, and a
sampler that never waits does not see it happen. The highest number anywhere in the reconciliation
(4 methods x 2 trees x 2 segments x 5 towns) is 292, the pin. NOTHING READ OVER 300.
A CORRECTION TO MY OWN R37 PIN: the corpus TRI worst is 130,727 on fitzroy_real, not 124,793 — and
it reads 130,727 on the CONTROL tree, so it is my R37 station spacing (12-bearing 8 m sweep) versus
this round's 2 m stations, not a wave-1 cost. Station spacing, not settle policy, is the biggest
lever on a walked worst frame. A pin is only as good as its spacing, and mine had not said so.
FOUR GATES, FOUR CONTROLS DEMONSTRATED (smoke_ambient / smoke_character / smoke_magpie /
smoke_yards, wired into flags_check.main()). A gate that cannot fail is not a gate — this round
earned the sentence twice, R37 killing two vacuous gates and B catching its own season mechanism
producing a constant that would have gated green under ?magpie=1.
1.1 audio — 6 sources anchored 63/8/81/32/39/57 (B's numbers exactly); dog AUDIBLE at 5.9 m with
1 play scheduled (for a one-shot, `audible` is only published once plays>0, so one word covers
fetch/decode/gain/schedule/counter); HOURS enforced (sprinkler audible 06:30 -> idle 12:30, same
pose); DAY-OF-WEEK enforced (mower idle Mon -> audible Sat, same pose); PAN is a bearing (yaw
0/90/180/270 -> +0.00 +0.85 -0.00 -0.85); ZERO DRAWS byte-identical to ?ambient=0. THE CONTROL:
a second server whose root is web/ symlink-for-symlink except one patched manifest with
sfx['dog-bark-fence'] renamed -> no-entry, 0 plays, never audible, other five unchanged, 0
console errors. Printed on every run: audible OUTPUT is unverifiable headlessly. Nobody in this
loop has ears.
1.2 character — classic is the frozen v1 literals, all tints null, 5 ground meshes; all 23 shipped
keys matched PER TOWN including the two carrying state:''; the control fires (unknown key ->
matched:false); 21 distinct palettes across 23 towns (one shared palette FAILS by name); and the
two orphans are ON THE GPU — ground-gravel.jpg bound on Castlemaine, ground-reddust.jpg on
Darwin, read off the live material.
1.3 magpie — the latch arm verbatim with its positive control FIRST; day-roll clears it;
localStorage gained NO new key (baseline taken after a game.save() — the first cut blamed the
magpie for v7's own write); the season is 23 distinct positions across 24 towns run UNFORCED,
against the first cut's 24-of-24-at-214, newtown_real in season on day 1, 129/1000 seeds against
a 11.5% design ratio; territory 6 -> 157 synthetic -> bendigo; +1 draw / +182 tris at ONE pose
reused across both boots.
1.4 yards — 181 lots, 181 hoists -> 394 items, 256 active, 0 at night; cost decomposition at one
pose with the sim quiet: box props +0 draws (in fact -2, the 36 `yard` lots used to fall through
to buildShopfront) with +1,936 tris, washing exactly +1 draw / +512 tris; and on real towns it
SKIPS LOUDLY — a ⊘ SCOPE line printing 0 house/yard lots / 0 hoists / mesh never created, beside
the synthetic 181 that makes the zero attributable.
Caught in my own work: the pan arm's first draft used two bearings and read +0.00/-0.00 because
that anchor sat on the forward axis — it would have called a working panner inconclusive. Four
bearings now. The gate's first draft failed the standard the gate exists to enforce.
SUITE: tools/qa.sh --strict --matrix GREEN on the true final tree (74d6257) — 7 passed, 0 failed,
0 warn, 0 skipped; flags_check GREEN 0/0 with all four new gates inside it; MATRIX GREEN 10 towns
x 7 gates, 0 fetches under ?noassets on all ten.
Held: nothing. Recorded not fixed: magpie.js says 154 triangles at :9/:123 and 182 at :42 (measured
182); E's three published GLBs are manifest-and-depot but not under web/assets/models (staged in
pipeline/_normalized, nothing loads them, the validator's contract covers it — not a defect).
NO TAG — wave 1 is content; the epoch tags when it is whole.

One caveat kept in the notes rather than buried, so this round's central finding is not undone by
its own suite: the matrix's budget column (69-161 draws) is DBG.shot('venue_night') CLEAN-LOAD
BOOKMARK numbers, and 37.1 is the proof that a bookmark under-reports a walked-and-turned frame by
~120 draws. That column is a regression signal, not the budget of record. Making the matrix
walk-and-turn every town is a real improvement and a real cost — FILED TO THE v8 DEBT LEDGER, not
smuggled into a floor round.
NO TAG. Wave 0 levels the floor; it does not ship a version.

Two sessions disagreed by 90 draws and neither was wrong. Worst draw per BEARING, 12 bearings x
102 stations down the same spine, one tree, one box: 0deg 284 · 30deg 248 · 60deg 208 · 90deg 177 ·
120deg 196 · 150deg 214 · 180deg 211 · 210deg 207 · 240deg 178 · 270deg 182 · 300deg 223 ·
330deg 267. 110 draws of spread from the camera direction alone, on identical positions -- and the
peak sits at yaw 0, the DEFAULT ARGUMENT of DBG.teleport(x, z, ry = 0). The city-patterns audit
took the default and landed on the worst bearing (280, reproduced at 282-292); the animal spike
supplied a yaw and landed mid-range (191, reproduced at 205-215). Correct numbers, different
quantities. Lane B's independent R37 walk (276 draws / 99,880 tris) and mine (282 / 99,878) agree
on TRIANGLES TO 2 -- the same frame through two harnesses.
THE PIN, default boot, synthetic golden seed, tree 7bd96e5, walked the spine:
292 draws of 300 (NIGHT, 31 live chunks -- the R+1 dispose window at maximum)
120,145 tris on synthetic; 124,793 on fitzroy_real, the corpus worst
?classic=1: 269 draws / 90,580 tris
margin: EIGHT draws (the audit said "about twenty") and ~75k tris
The worst-draw frame and the worst-tri frame are NOT the same frame. Real towns are draw-cheap and
tri-dear; the synthetic town is the opposite. The audit's "99k-124k" tri range is confirmed and
pinned at its top.
Also measured: viewport is IRRELEVANT (1280x720 and 2560x1440 identical to the byte -- culling is
frustum-shaped, not pixel-shaped) · the R+1 dispose residue is worth +19 draws, not the 60-80
folklore (the rest is place and bearing) · CitizenSim's per-frame rig-acquisition budget means any
one-render-per-station sampler photographs a half-dressed street · ?r=3 measures 307 draws and
BREACHES the 300 gate through an ungated override (filed, not fixed) · ?shadows=1 costs +38 draws
and +38% tris · Lane B's kerb change independently confirmed at +0 draws / -8 tris at the worst
frame, by a harness B did not write.
THE SHARED INSTANCE CAP: 256, one InstancedMesh, town-wide. Measured +1 draw at every N from 32 to
2048, and N x tris/instance ALWAYS submitted (the instance bounding sphere spans the town). Draws
are not the constraint; triangles are. 256 x a 2-4 tri cell = 512-1,024 tris = 0.5% of budget;
0.01 ms/frame to rewrite every matrix. Binding companions: <=24 tris/instance at the cap, and spend
it PROXIMITY-FIRST -- anchor supply runs from synthetic's 246 poles over 6.8 km to bendigo_real's
7,325 over 188 km, so 256 sprayed town-wide there is one instance per 730 m.
Honest limit stated where the number is quoted: headless SwiftShader cannot change a draw or
triangle count (both are counted in JS, and the viewport control proves it), but frame TIME remains
unmeasured on any real GPU and no v8 proposal may claim a millisecond figure.
Re-pinned in LANE_F_NOTES 37; the four other docs that assert the number are flagged with what each
line should now say rather than edited in another author's file. README flags table gains ?verge=0
(Lane B's control, F's file) and a row naming the ?r=3 breach.

§36.4 held -> ruled -> RESOLVED: Fable ruled 'classic keeps its people', D fixed
it in rigs.js alone (2fd4c1c: base-17 restored, the five DJ bodies append behind
djs=dance riding the shell's existing !CLASSIC signal; classic's 129-citizen
census byte-identical to a b339402^ shadow tree). F's full-suite re-gate on the
true final tree (run 3): SUMMARY 7 passed / 0 failed / 0 warn / 0 skipped, QA
GREEN, MATRIX GREEN 10 towns x 7 gates, flags harness 0 fails / 0 WARNS — the
smoke_djdance warn flipped to '?classic=1: zero DJ-body fetches'; default keeps
all 22 bodies, the organic gig-crowd proof, and the DJ figure-scale statures
exactly. Honest record: re-gate runs 1-2 died to a box-level fork famine
(~10,600 leaked m3panel pmset|tail orphans, fixed at source) — starvation
artifacts, not gates; noted in §36.5.
The five-holds law end-to-end in one round: held by F, ruled by Fable, fixed by
the owning lane, re-proven by the gate that held it. Nothing improvised.

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

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

stock_shop_<id>_index.json; C's own loader (stockpack.js:25) fetches
${base}stock_${type}_index.json. Incompatible. G built runtime-compatible (which is why
C's base-override check passed); E built contract-compatible (which is why E's validator
can't see it). Nobody was wrong — the contract was. F recommends amending to G's shape:
it's the only one the runtime can load, and it costs G nothing.
FINDING 2 — the gate built to catch that was blind and green. validate_atlas.py globs a
filename that can't exist at runtime, finds nothing, and returns 0 ("No atlases yet =>
clean pass"), which validate_manifest.py:158 propagates. It conflates "no atlases exist"
with "no atlases matched my glob" — the first is a clean pass, the second is the exact
failure it was written to catch. Pointed at G's index by hand, deeper drift surfaced:
E's line 68 reads provenance top-level while E's own docstring says nested (where G put
it), licence vs license, and a ceiling stale by one round.
FINDING 3 — #7a would have passed vacuously. Walked into The Vintage Record (real shop,
real road) via DBG.enterShop: the crates filled with real covers — from E's 350-item
town-wide v2 pack, not the crate. Zero requests to stock_godverse/, ever. Eyeballed as
written, the gate goes green and proves nothing. Two vacuous gates in one round, same
species: both test the presence of a thing rather than the identity of it.
R24 — three gaps, none F-only: A+G land a godverse_id (verified live: every godverse shop
reports null; the schema has no such field) -> E builds redhill_real (one Overpass fetch,
E's file, outward-facing — not F's to invent) -> C keys the pack cache by type+base
(today a hit returns before base is read, so two stocked shops collide and fail-soft
breaks) -> F passes the per-shop base and re-gates. F deliberately did not build its half:
untestable with no street and no identity field. Filed, not guessed.
Also: A's spacing warn earned on day one — ballarat now warns at 255 m, so the thin tail
has a second member. The README v5 teaser is held with the tag; they're one claim.

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

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).

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.

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).

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.

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.

Interior audio (interior_mode): enter -> PROCITY.audio.playInterior(room.audio) with Lane C's
{musicKey,toneKey} (fade in), exit -> stopInterior() (0.7s fade). Guarded/no-op when
muted/noassets/pre-gesture -- silent-and-happy.
New smoke_audio gate (flags harness, fresh Chromium per the R10 standing law): pre-gesture silence
(ctx not unlocked), 0 boot errors, ?mute=1 muted, ?noassets=1 zero audio fetches, enter/exit
AudioNode leak-free (12 cycles, 8 shops with a music bed, live sources bounded at 5). Gesture via
keyboard -- a mouse-click gesture tripped PointerLockControls in headless.
scaffold_check: scoped the Math.random generation-ban to exempt runtime FX PLAYBACK
(web/js/world/audio.js) -- Lane B's footstep SFX variant/gain jitter is transient, not world
generation (which shop plays which bed is seeded upstream in interiors.js). Noted to B.
Soak with audio on PASS (heap 48MB stable, 0 errors, no drift). qa.sh --strict GREEN 6/6.

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).

Shell seams (F owns index.html): A &town=<key> -> generatePlanFor(seed,'osm',{town}) (Katoomba);
B weather (createWeather on ?weather=1; PROCITY.weather={state,intensity}, {clear,0} off; update in
loop); C session wallet bound to the dig BUY (getCash/onBuy in interior_mode); D patronage door
points -> citizens.setShops + ?patronage=0 off-switch + setWeather each frame.
Harness: stock=real + weather=rain graduated warn -> STRICT. New warn smokes: buy-v0 (dig BUY ->
wallet, cash 191->179 bag 0->1), patronage (7 peds visit shop doors/~18s), book/toy stock (6/11
real atlas meshes). Determinism gate: pinned osm/katoomba golden 0x0f652510 keyed on (seed,plansrc,
town) + fixed a hex zero-pad bug the katoomba golden exposed (0x0f652510 vs unpadded 0xf652510).
No patronage baseline re-pin needed (nets fewer draws, within tolerance). qa.sh --strict GREEN 5/5.

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

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.

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

A landed the plansrc seam (52eb109); F owns the shell bootstrap. index.html: ?plansrc=osm
-> citygen.generatePlanFor(seed,'osm') (real-data 'Melbourne' 95 shops); default synthetic

routes synthetic|osm. flags_check auto-detects + smokes plansrc + the all-on combo (4 flags).
interior_mode.js: restored binUnderAim's nearest-bin fallback (Lane C test-page parity) so E

tools/flags_check.py — the machine version of the R5 review, headless, self-contained
server, ~90s:
• flags-off regression (prime-law enforcement): plan fingerprint == golden 0x3fa36874,
all v2 subsystems inactive, street view within v1 budget (<=300 draws / <=200k tris),
within 40% of the v1.1 snapshot, 0 console errors.
• per-flag smoke (winmap/dig/roster, +plansrc auto-detected when A lands): boot flag-on,
cross >=2 chunks, enter an interior; dig also opens+closes a riffle. 0 console errors.
• all-on combo (flag-composition law, decision #4): every landed flag on at once.
Wired into qa.sh as a WARN-level gate (strict in r7): --no-flags skips fast; auto-skips

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).

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.

Gate 3 (budget) official re-measure vs committed decimated peds (E1 518678d, D2
signed off a5e4b64): busiest node, pop 200, midday, 12-yaw peak -> draws 138 (<=300),
tris ~31k (<=200k). Baseline was 372k. Green.
D3 (a5e4b64) made the impostor toneMapped:true so exposure is global via
