John looked at R41's proof shots and named three faults. All three are fixed, at zero draw
cost, and every lane corrected somebody's numbers on the way — including its own.
E-LOOK (§42.1+§42.2a) — THE PREMISE WAS WRONG. "The pub props have no texture" (my brief,
quoting E's own R41 note) is false: all 37 carry COLOR_0 and three.js renders it. The colour
was BLEACHED — jukebox at saturation 0.02, 15 assets under 0.05; what the source library
called colour was baked AO. So the fix was a palette imposed on colour already present, in
place: 46 assets, draw delta +0 and tri delta +0 on every one, proved the honest way — the
concatenated POSITION/NORMAL/TEXCOORD/index bytes are sha1-identical to R41, so footprints
and origins provably did not move. (A first-pass bbox check ignored node rotations and
"found" 3 phantom violations; thrown out for the byte comparison.) The banquette was 1990s
office teal and went burgundy; the beer umbrella was white and went brewery green.
THE DECK, diagnosed before being touched: 7 greys, chassis 0.05 luminance on a 0.033 bench =
1.21:1, and the one high-contrast feature was INSIDE-OUT (white ring around a dark disc; a
turntable is a dark record on a light platter). Now Technics silver at 6.74:1, black vinyl,
red start/stop. Node contract re-read from the shipped GLB: 4/4 + 1/1 PASS. Filed to R43,
not fixed: deck_1200_rigged has NO PLINTH (bottom 43mm of 119mm lost to R41 join damage).
E-CAST (§42.3) — 19 of 24 ship. Rejected: comical_luchador_01 (Mixamo Ch43, purple mask
reading EL CHUPACABRA, identified from the file's own material name), a 3-heads-tall cartoon
child, a robed wuxia elder, a WW2 infantryman — and dj_phrtt_01, AN UNCLOTHED BODY whose only
texture is a bare-skin atlas, which was in the DEFAULT crowd and live on the depot. It is the
R41 deny-list's failure class through a different door: an innocent name from another
pipeline. Only rendering all 24 and LOOKING found it.
Ruling 2 (prefer CC0) was REFUSED ON MEASUREMENT: Quaternius is 25 nodes / 23 joints and ZERO
of 64 canonical tracks bind — it would have loaded silently and never animated. Replacements
came from Mixamo's Ch## pool, filtered to the contract-clean 65-bone family (candidates ran
65..99 bones; named characters carry facial/hair bones).
THE LICENCE GAP WAS UNREAD, NOT MISSING: every source FBX carries ApplicationVendor "Mixamo,
Inc." internally. Adobe royalty-free, no attribution owed. B's amber rows are now real.
B (§42.5) — MY ASSIGNED FIX WAS USELESS AND B PROVED IT. document.fonts.ready shipped, then
measured: the atlas canvases are already byte-identical across boots, the game ships NO
webfonts (document.fonts.size === 0), and ready fires 50ms BEFORE the first fillText. The
real cause of unreproducible bookmarks is the wall-clock CROWD — 983 changed px of 921,600,
ALL in the pedestrian band; 0 px with the crowd out. New DBG.freeze() takes stable bookmarks
2/5 -> 5/5. Also found: ?pop=0 boots 140 citizens (0 is falsy against the default).
THE BENCH: D's filing correct on both counts. Front-vs-road 90.0deg -> 0.0deg, min=med=max
over 60/60 instances; the streetlight arm now reaches 1.05m over the road where it reached
0.00. Both used a base yaw that pointed +Z down the street while their own comments claimed
otherwise — the side term was already right, which is why it survived 41 rounds of reading.
Also: on any box with CDN access 9 of 60 benches are the depot GLB, 90deg out from the house
law — normalised at the geometry, once, at load. benchStops(plan) exported as one truth.
C (§42.2b) — 122 vs 123 WAS THE CAMERA ASPECT, and nobody was wrong. Draw counts are
post-frustum-cull and the sweep camera inherits the window aspect: 1.25->116, 1.60->122 (C's
harness), 1.778->123 (F's), 2.37->124. Pinned MEASURE_ASPECT=16/9 with a 1.25 control.
E's "keep the bench dark" advice was measured and declined with reason (deck-vs-bench was
already 4.73:1, over threshold). "Reads as a black box" is a claim about pixels, so C measured
pixels: near-black in the booth crop 57.5% -> 26.7%, distinct colours 228 -> 389. Bench
rebuilt 3->7 boxes with an open record bay; headphones on the mixer; faceDoor aims booths at
the player's entry — alignment within 45deg went 49% -> 92%. Two bugs found by looking: a
fitting could be planted INSIDE A WALL (0.77m of a 0.86m half-depth in plaster), and every
booth part sat 25mm sunk into its own worktop.
D (§42.4) — five swaps IN PLACE at the same index (pickRig indexes these arrays and pedIndex
is in the identity signature and the impostor atlas; removal would renumber the town).
Identity signature pre- vs post-swap: 0 differing lines of 150 — who each citizen is did not
move, only which body they wear. dj_phrtt_01 verified gone AT THE WIRE, not from source: a
fresh default boot fetches 32 ped GLBs, none retired.
THE CONTROL ARM FOUND A 41-ROUND-OLD BUG: the ped being RETIRED, comical_boy_01, binds only
3,132 of 3,460 tracks — six thumb bones lack the mixamorig prefix. It had been silently
dropping six tracks per clip since it shipped. Testing the thing being thrown away found it.
Imported B's benchStops mid-round: sitters now 0.0deg to the road, signatures byte-identical
across the rewire. Corrected F's filing: the browse smoke was flaky-by-construction (a 16-25s
race against a live sim), not deterministically red.
F (§42.6) — qa.sh --strict 24 passed / 0 failed / 0 warn / 0 skipped. New Gate 11: period law
(0/5 banned; CONTROL: R41's roster trips all five) and roster licence (24/24, 0 unverified;
CONTROL: an amber row turns 20 red). r41_shots.py promoted warn -> strict.
R41'S BYTE-HASH BAN IS REVERSED AND ITS STATED REASON WITHDRAWN AS WRONG. A gate may pin a
hash under five in-run assertions (classic+flags boot, freeze().stillLive all-false, a second
freeze removing 0 draws, settle until DBG.info() stops changing, hash with the dbg panel
hidden): 5/5 bookmarks now pin to one sha256 over 3 fresh boots. Two findings got it there —
the chunk streamer (a fixed settle is a bet on load) and the fps readout, which with
everything else frozen was the last thing moving at 53-62 px.
?pop=0 fixed (Number.isFinite) — a no-op for 35 rounds. Three red flags_check gates fixed.
Street: noon 282 · NIGHT 291/300 — the nine-draw margin INTACT, every R41 row reproducing to
the digit. Interior at pinned 16:9: 123 @ dept/auto, margin 227. selfcheck 157,647/157,647,
0x5f76e76 unmoved. No tag — John's playtest rules the epoch.

MOTION (§41.1). The clip library goes 8 -> 46: ten idles, eight browse, eight sit/lean,
eight social, six locomotion, six venue, in SIX grouped GLBs (one fetch each), 3.35 MB —
LESS than the 4.29 MB the old eight cost, via lossless dedup + int16 rotations (worst
error 0.0034 deg). All six verified skeleton-only (tris 0, meshes 0, nodes 66): ZERO DRAW,
which is what makes this round affordable. No retarget was run and none was wanted — the
bank and the peds are the same mixamorig skeleton, so retargeting would add error AND bake
the ped mesh into the clip, ending zero-draw. MIRPAMO 'make smoke' green to prove the tool,
then deliberately unused. Three seeds in the brief were duds and got substituted: the whole
*_Degree_Turn set is RIFLE-AIMING, and two 'examine' clips are 262 KB static poses, not
motion. R16 flat-body trap re-checked on all 46 (spine tilt 24 samples/clip, 0 frames >75
deg); turn_in_place auto-demoted from loopable on a 36.7 deg seam.
RULING 1 — the Bandai hazard, closed non-destructively and better than specified. 3,077 CC
BY-NC clips sat unzoned in a neutrally-named path. Renamed PER FILE (3,077/3,077) not just
the directory, because mirpamo names output <rig>@<clip>.glb — the _NC-research marker now
PROPAGATES into any retargeted GLB automatically. Nothing deleted; ultra's red/bandai
re-verified as canonical. Ledger corrected: the manifest claimed CC-BY-NC-ND, the bundled
licence text says CC BY-NC, no ND.
PROPS (§41.2). 110 assets from three libraries, published, sha1-verified, 0 validator errors
both modes. THE FINDING: every handover number was a TRIANGLE count, and triangles were
never the binding constraint — DRAW CALLS were. As handed over this cargo cost 14,140 draws
against a 162-draw margin; it ships at 117. '3dstore passes as-is' was true on tris/metres/
Draco/textures and FALSE on draws — 30 of 46 files carried up to 16 materials on one mesh
(one per record sleeve), so a 1,020-tri tub cost 16 draws; baked to COLOR_0, 288 -> 40, zero
tri drift, A/B identical. dj-gear's own manifest claimed median 6,288 tris / 18 under budget;
measured 51,528 and 12, with draws to 2,145. Pub props were NOT metre-correct (every source
unit-normalised to max dim 1.00 m) and 40x decimation was impossible as specified (loungeChair
is 94% non-manifold).
Ruling 5 vs the draw budget was a real conflict (one mixer = 4.6x a whole room); resolved by
joining SCENERY selectively while every control node keeps its object/name/pivot — verified
by parsing the SHIPPED GLB, not the tool that wrote it: PASS 4 / STATIC 10 / N/A 17 / FAIL 0.
deck_1200_rigged = 5 draws with Platter_SPIN, Arm_YAW, Fader_PITCH, Btn_STARTSTOP intact.
The R40 four-surface transmission gate FIRED ON LIVE CARGO: 5 genuinely transmissive
materials (cartridge dust-covers, a mixer meter window) that would each have doubled every
opaque draw in the room. 9 assets rejected on eyeball after decimation rather than shipping
mush. Two existing-tooling bugs fixed: normalize.py's yaw/up were silent no-ops (the jukebox
exported 0.40 m instead of 0.97 m), and footprints now measure the shipped GLB.

§40.1 — the R39 blind spot, closed with both arms fired. Before: check_transmission()
parsed pipeline/_normalized/<file> only and returned SILENTLY when absent — so a
depot-only transmissive GLB (the longbench/streetlight shape) or a stale glass copy in
web/assets/models/ (what ?localdepot=1 actually serves) shipped unseen. After: all four
surfaces scanned — _normalized/ always, web/assets/models/ always, the DEPOT copy via
ranged GET of the GLB JSON chunk whenever no local file exists (206-aware, slices the
tailnet's 200-full), plus a sweep of every non-manifest .glb in both dirs (ped rigs and
dance clips load by literal path). A depot fetch failure is a LOUD warn, never a skip.
Controls demonstrated, not asserted:
arm 1 (served path): glass box_crate planted in web/assets/models/ only →
R39 gate rc 0 (the blind spot, live) · R40 gate rc 1 · fixture removed → rc 0
arm 2 (depot path): both local copies held aside, local mock depot serving glass →
rc 1 (depot copy) · clean bytes → rc 0 · REAL tailnet depot, local absent →
rc 0 / 0 warnings (production fetch path proven)
Nothing was ever published to the real depot namespace; sha1 6c327d86 restored both
copies; final validator on the real tree rc 0, 0 errors, 0 warnings, 39 manifest GLBs
+ 40 swept.
§40.4 — the arcade is a PLACEMENT rule, not an asset. Measured: one 42.00 × 5m arcade
edge, posts at d/2+2.2-0.2 = ±0.50m from the centreline — two rows 1.00m apart, 34
colliderless posts, 0.60m open slot. The kit designed as one thing: the roof spans
(depth 2.5 = half-lane, slabs meet flush) and a spanned roof has no posts. Proved
without touching B's tree — rule applied in-flight by a rewriting no-store server,
shot from inside the lane: draws 124→124 (+0), tris unchanged. Rule handed to B with
file:line; B applied it this round.

Not a backfill — a warning. The live Lane E record is docs/LANES/LANE_E_NOTES.md (cross-lane) and
pipeline/AUDIT.md (provenance + method). A progress file whose newest entry is 27 rounds old is a
trap for the next reader; say so at the top rather than quietly resurrect it.

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;
all pass the pack-QA gate. build_stock_pack.py gained --from-tsv (extract-on-DB-box ->
build-here), portrait 176x256 book cell, seeded-price fallback. qa --strict GREEN 5/5.

E1: build_stock_pack.py generalized over kinds — record (256x256 sleeves), book
(96x256 tall-thin spines), toy (256x256 boxes), per-kind parody word banks, same
build-time/parody/atlas/index laws. Book+toy sample packs built + staged (?localdepot)
+ indexes committed to pipeline/packs/ so Lane C wires book/toy shelves now. Parody
deterministic + no distinctive-token leak across all 3 kinds.
E2: validate_pack.py QA gate (wired into validate_manifest -> qa gate 3) — bad UV /
empty title / bad price_band / dangling atlas / dup id fails qa (proven). qa strict
GREEN 5/5.
Real 150-250-item packs blocked on GODVERSE_DSN (flagged to Fable); samples are
placeholders in the real index format. No fal spend.

pipeline/build_stock_pack.py builds C's ?stock=real pack offline (nothing queries the
dataset at runtime): recordgod (dealgod discogs_release) → curate → parody-transform
title/artist (deterministic, shares no source token — no real trademarks) → atlas WebPs
+ JSON index {id,title,artist,price,price_band,atlas,uv}. Proven end-to-end with
--sample 24 (synthetic sleeves); sample pack staged to web/assets/models/ so Lane C
wires ?stock=real against the real index format now. Real 200-400 pack blocked on
GODVERSE_DSN (dealgod Postgres creds — flagged to Fable) + C's schema confirmation;
one command (--from-db --count 300) once they land.

- 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).

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).
