- 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).
