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).

- 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.

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.

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.
Also this session: R7 post-flip shell verification (no-flag boot streams, determinism, leak-free,
?roster=v1 restores golden roster) and pushed main + v1.0/v1.1/v2.0-alpha/v2.0-beta to origin.
F wiring (setShops door-point recipe, setWeather, ?patronage=0) documented in LANE_D_NOTES.

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).

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.

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).

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.

Populate the town at city scale, on budget, deterministic per-citizen identity:
- rigs.js — ported 90sDJsim rig stack: mixamorig canonicalisation so one shared
walk clip drives all 19 peds, head-bone height-normalise, feet-plant, pooled
near-tier actors with walk<->idle crossfade
- impostor.js — 4-yaw sprite-atlas baker + instanced billboards: whole mid crowd
in 1 draw call, tone-matched to the ACES near rigs
- sim.js — deterministic roster, footpath lanes off the street graph, near/mid/far
LOD with hysteresis + hard 24-cap, staggered mixer budget, time-of-day density
- placeholder.js — seeded low-poly box humanoids (frame-one population + ?noassets)
- keepers.js — one keeper per shop at the counter, idle + greet-turn
- 21 ped GLBs (byte-identical from 90sDJsim), citizens_test.html harness,
LANE_D_NOTES.md, 5 beauty shots
Verified in-browser: 200 citizens at max mixer 0.2ms (budget 2ms), near capped 24,
determinism holds (200 identities match seed), no T-pose, ?noassets crash-free.
Consumes Lane A plan.streets with zero adapter. Six adversarial-review bugs fixed
(non-deterministic fleet order, shared-resource disposal on pool eviction,
impostor colour-management).
