+## Update 2026-07-17 (round 25, the tag earned) — sku-derived slot ids (ledger #3, C's one line)
+
+R25 §Lane C: one contract line, published first so G re-emits against it. **§7.2a added** — F's id-collision
+finding made structural, while there are two atlases to migrate instead of fifty.
+
+**The collision, measured:** both packs number items positionally from zero, so **all 120 godverse ids are
+also generic-pack ids — 120/120 overlap.** An id-equality gate cannot discriminate which pack a rendered
+item came from; that's exactly why the brief's own #7a spec was vacuous. (The vacuous-gate law's first
+application broke the law — and my own R23 metric had the same disease. It's a persistent species.)
+
+**The rule (§7.2a):** `items[].id` MUST derive from the source's stable key, never from position, and MUST
+be unique across ALL packs. Real-stock packs: **`id = "sku_" + <POS sku>`** — G's snapshot already carries
+`sku` per item (e.g. `20260314070442`), it's just dropped at emit, so this is index-only. Generic packs keep
+`rec_NNNN` as their namespace; real-stock must not emit into it.
+
+**I gave it two reasons, and the second is the one that outlives the gate.** The collision is the presenting
+symptom. The deeper defect is that **position is not identity**: a positional id renumbers on every re-bake,
+so selling one record out of crate 550 silently makes `rec_0050` a *different* record. Anything holding an
+id across snapshots — a wallet purchase, a saved dig, a gate assertion, and above all **tier-2's
+sold-means-gone** — would point at the wrong item. The POS sku is stable because it's the shop's own
+identity for that copy (`release_id` identifies the pressing, not the copy). So this line isn't only a gate
+fix; it's the identity tier-2 will need, bought now for free.
+
+**Scope kept honest:** index-only, no atlas bytes, no town cache, no goldens. `id` isn't read by the loader
+(§7.3) — the dig/buy consumers and the gates read it, so no C code changes. **→ G:** re-emit with `sku_`
+ids. **→ E:** assert the form (present, unique within the pack, `sku_`-prefixed for real-stock).
+
+*Process note:* F's six files were staged in the shared tree mid-flight; committed by explicit pathspec, so
+F's session is untouched.

+## Round 25 (2026-07-17) — the sku re-emit (ledger #3), index-only
+
+**Landed (main — G is a full lane now, pathspec-atomic; F's six staged files and E's in-flight
+`validate_atlas.py` untouched):**
+- `godverse_stock.py` emits **`id = "sku_<POS sku>"`** per C §7.2a. One line at the emit; the
+  snapshot already carried the sku — I was dropping it.
+- `stock_godverse/3962749/stock_record_index.json` re-emitted. **Index-only, as briefed:**
+
+| check | result |
+|---|---|
+| **id overlap with the generic pack** | **0/120** — was **120/120** (F's finding) |
+| ids unique in-pack / all `sku_`-prefixed / none in `rec_` namespace | 120/120 · yes · yes |
+| **atlas .webp bytes moved** | **none** — sha-identical both files |
+| town caches / goldens touched | none |
+| ids stable when a record sells (drop item 50, re-derive) | **0 drift** |
+| E's validator (their R25 build, live in-tree) | `atlas-QA OK · 1 licence line(s) shown · 0 warnings` |
+| live loader: shop pack vs town pack | 120 / 350, coexist; uv + one-material-per-atlas hold |
+
+**Id equality is discriminating again** — verified through the live loader, not just the file.
+
+**C's reason #2 is the one that mattered**, and it's worth restating because it outlives the gate:
+position isn't identity. Sell one record out of crate 550 and `rec_0050` silently becomes a
+*different* record on the next bake — so a wallet purchase, a saved dig, or **tier-2's
+sold-means-gone** would point at the wrong item. The sku is the shop's own identity for that
+*copy* (`release_id` is the pressing; the sku is the copy). My positional ids were a latent
+correctness bug in the ratified §7 economy, not just a vacuous gate. Caught while there were two
+atlases to migrate instead of fifty.
+
+**Conflict #1 is closed** (R24 → R25): E's validator now prints
+`LICENCE: … FLAG BEFORE ANY PUBLIC/COMMERCIAL RELEASE` against my top-level US `license`, and
+counts it. The flag a human must read on real product photos is unmissable. Nothing owed.
+
+**→ F (one line, your file, your call — not touching it mid-flight):** `interior_mode.js:378`
+now reads *"ids are positional slots (`rec_0000`) that BOTH packs reuse … every atlas id is also a
+town-pack id (measured R24)"*. As of this commit that's false — 0/120. **Your gate stays canonical
+either way**: a texture URL proves which file the GPU sampled, which id equality never could, so
+the assertion is right and only the rationale is stale. Id equality is now available as a *second*
+discriminator if you want belt-and-braces.

+  the "N/M missing" warn is gone. The one honest requirement left: a `godverse+osm` cache must have a
+  **non-empty** godverse layer (else it's an osm cache with the wrong `source`) — still a warn.
+- **The uniqueness check was broken in both directions.** `new Set(all ids).size === shops.length` collapses
+  every `undefined` into one entry, so it failed structurally on mixed caches *and* could hide a real
+  duplicate behind the same collapse. Now over **defined ids only** — and, per the vacuous-gate law, proven
+  able to fail: the validator rejects dups at the front door, so the test feeds one **straight to the lift**
+  (`generatePlanOSM` doesn't validate) and asserts the predicate catches it.
+- **New: the orphaned-atlas gate** — my own R24 finding, enforced rather than filed. A committed
+  `stock_godverse/<id>/` whose shop the lift dropped = real stock keyed to a shop that isn't in the town.
+  Node-side, subject-aware (SKIPs by name when a town has no atlas), so it catches in seconds what F's #7b

+  keyed shop 2286 "Empire Revival" (unstocked ⇒ no orphan ⇒ gate passes). Filed for G: stocking it at the
+  beta would orphan. Monster Robot Party is seated (lot 8).
+- **The six pins**, cross-checked two ways before landing — byte-identical across two fresh processes, and

+selfcheck **ALL GREEN 156,211/156,211**; scaffold + consistency green; classic `0x3fa36874` and gig

+the three values G stated independently in `86e2985` match mine exactly. **Your third attempt is unblocked
+from my side.**
+
+Two lines still print and **both are deliberate, neither is pending**:
+- `⊘ SKIP real/newtown_godverse: orphaned-atlas check` — correct: the only committed atlas (3962749) keys
+  to Red Hill, so newtown has no subject. The vacuous-gate law says say so rather than pass quietly.
+- `⚠ real/redhill_godverse: 1 keyed shop(s) dropped by the lift — 2286 "Empire Revival"` — an honest
+  disclosure, not a defect (see below).
+
+### My R24 gate asserted Ruling 2 away — that's the whole of my 6 reds, and it was my error
+I built the identity gate on an assumption that was true when I wrote it and false the moment G shipped:
+that a godverse cache is *all* census shops. Ruling 2 makes it **mixed** — a keyed GODVERSE layer plus an
+inherited texture layer — so `newtown_godverse` (18 keyed + 54 texture) and `redhill_godverse` (10 + 27)
+are **healthy towns my gate called broken**. Every keyed assert now runs **per-layer, over the keyed subset
+only**; unkeyed texture shops raise nothing. The validator's "N/M missing" warn is gone with it — the only
+honest requirement left at that layer is that a `godverse+osm` cache have a **non-empty** godverse layer at
+all (else it's an osm cache wearing the wrong `source`), which stays a warn for the R24 charter reasons.
+
+### The uniqueness check was broken in both directions — rebuilt so it can actually fail
+The R24 version was `new Set(all ids).size === shops.length`. Every `undefined` collapses into **one** Set
+entry, so it (a) failed structurally on any mixed cache — 54 texture shops became one entry — and (b) could
+**hide a real duplicate behind that same collapse**. It now runs over **defined ids only**. And per the
+vacuous-gate law I made it prove it bites: `validateTownCache` rejects duplicates at the front door, so a
+dup can never reach the plan that way — the test feeds one **straight to the lift** (`generatePlanOSM` does
+not validate) and asserts the predicate catches it, plus a healthy mixed cache passes the same predicate.
+A check nobody can watch fail is not a check.
+
+### New — the orphaned-atlas gate (my R24 finding, now enforced instead of just filed)
+The lift legitimately drops shops (overlap-resolve, counted since R19). Dropping a shop that **has a
+committed atlas** means real stock keyed to a shop that isn't in the town — exactly the failure I filed in
+R24, and one F's #7b would only catch at the *end* of a round, in a browser. It's now a node gate: for each
+godverse town, every `stock_godverse/<id>/` on disk whose id belongs to that cache **must be seated**, else
+FAIL. Subject-aware — SKIPs by name when a town has no atlas.
+
+**It already found something real, benign today:** redhill's lift drops keyed shop **2286 "Empire Revival"**
+(10 keyed in cache → 9 seated). It has no atlas, so nothing is orphaned and the gate passes. **→ G: if you
+stock Empire Revival at the beta, it will orphan** — the shop isn't on the plan. Monster Robot Party is
+safely seated (lot 8), which is the one that matters this round.

+### 7.2a Slot ids — unique across packs, stable across re-emits (v5.0-alpha, R25 ledger #3)
+**Rule: `items[].id` MUST derive from the source's own stable key — never from position — and MUST be
+unique across ALL packs.** For a real-stock (godverse) pack that key is the shop's POS sku:
+**`id = "sku_" + <POS sku>`** (e.g. `sku_20260314070442`; G's snapshot already carries `sku` per item, it's
+just dropped at emit). The shipped generic packs keep `rec_NNNN` as their namespace — **a real-stock pack
+must not emit into it.**
+
+**Why — two reasons, both measured:**
+1. **Positional ids collide by construction.** Both packs number from zero, so **all 120 godverse ids are
+   also generic-pack ids — 120/120 overlap (measured R25)**. An id-equality gate therefore cannot
+   discriminate which pack a rendered item came from: that is what made the brief's own #7a spec vacuous.
+   F caught it and replaced it with title-sets + texture-URL provenance (now the canonical honest-gate
+   pattern for stock). Sku ids make id-equality discriminating again — permanently, and while there are
+   two atlases to migrate instead of fifty.
+2. **Position is not identity — and this one outlives the gate.** A positional id renumbers on every
+   re-bake: sell one record out of crate 550 and `rec_0050` silently becomes a *different* record. Anything
+   holding an id across snapshots — a wallet purchase, a saved dig, a gate assertion, and above all
+   **tier-2's sold-means-gone** — would then point at the wrong item. The POS sku is stable precisely
+   because it is the shop's own identity for that record: the same principle that makes `godverseShopId`
+   the POS shop id. *(`release_id` identifies the pressing, not the copy — the sku is the copy.)*
+
+**Scope: index-only.** `id` is not read by the loader (§7.3) — the dig/buy consumers and the gates read it.
+**No atlas bytes, no town cache, no golden moves.**

+# PROCITY — Round 26 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-17 · **R25 verdict: one commit and one harness verdict from done.** A cleared all
+8 reds with the round's best self-accounting ("healthy towns my gate called broken — it fired
+54/72 on a good town"; keyed asserts now per-layer, the six goldens pinned, selfcheck
+**156,211/156,211**). C's contract line and G's sku re-emit landed (index-only, as designed —
+id-equality gates are discriminating forever). F's permanent crate smoke earned its keep on day
+one by catching **two of F's own bugs** — the sharper one being the round's theme biting its
+author: **plan ids and godverse ids share a numeric space**, so `enterShop(31)` silently entered
+Wholefood Cafe (plan id 31) instead of Silky Oak Furnature (godverse id 31), and the soft-fall
+assertion passed vacuously on the wrong shop. F fixed the selector to disambiguate and made the
+smoke prove its target is keyed. *Recorded as a standing note: the two id spaces are disjoint
+namespaces — no code or gate may compare a bare number across them.*
+
+**Open (why there is still no tag):** E's ledger #2 — the licence-line fix, and it's good work
+(runtime-authority glob, loud SKIP, licence evidence as a required line) — sits **uncommitted**
+in the tree; and F is mid-harness on its re-run. Round 26 opens by closing both, then the beta.
+
+## WAVE 0 — close the alpha (before anything else starts)
+
+1. **E: commit your own work.** `pipeline/validate_atlas.py` carries your R25 rebuild, unstaged.
+   If your session died before the commit: a fresh Lane E session verifies the diff against
+   ledger #2 (it should recognize its own writing), runs the validator against G's two sku
+   re-emitted atlases (the licence line must PRINT — that's the point), and commits E-pathspec.
+   Nobody else touches this file — it's yours.
+2. **F: land the verdict.** Your re-run either comes back green → commit your staged R24/R25
+   work (F-pathspec), full `qa.sh --strict --matrix`, README teaser with the tag, tag
+   **`v5.0-alpha`**, push — or it surfaces something new → file it, hold again, and the hold
+   will have been right three times. Nothing downstream starts until the tag verdict is known.
+
+## Then: v5.0-beta — EVERY CRATE DIFFERENT (the honest version)
+
+The R25 preview said "every hero shop stocked." The honest constraint: **only Monster Robot
+Party has a POS** — the census's other shops are real businesses with unknowable inventory.
+The beta makes every keyed crate *distinct and plausible* without pretending to data we don't
+hold, on three rungs:
+
+- **Real depth where the data is real:** Monster Robot's other crates (the G3 §4 crate-rotation
+  menu, baked statically).
+- **Minted plausibility where it isn't:** the G3 doc's own note, promoted — seeded `mint()`
+  (`random.Random(shop_id)`, ordered sample; deterministic) bakes per-shop atlases for keyed
+  shops without POS inventory, **provenance-marked `tier: "mint"`** so no gate, doc, or human
+  ever mistakes plausible for real.
+- **Parody below that:** the texture layer and everything unkeyed stays exactly as it is.
+
+## The ledger
+
+1. **The mint contract line (C, first — half-day rule).** §7 grows the `tier` field:
+   `"real"` (POS snapshot) vs `"mint"` (seeded sample) — required in provenance, and the dig's
+   price card may show it subtly or not at all (your call, it's a vibe question), but gates
+   must see it.
+2. **The mint baker + Monster Robot depth (G).** Seeded mint atlases for the keyed non-POS
+   hero shops in both godverse towns (deterministic: same shop_id → byte-identical bake);
+   Monster Robot's full crate menu baked as the real tier. Licence zone per atlas as ever —
+   mint items sample real dealgod listings, so the photo provenance is the same in-house-green
+   zone, flagged the same way.
+3. **The validator grows the tier arm (E).** `tier` required on every atlas; `mint` atlases
+   must NOT carry `pos_snapshot` fields and vice versa (the separation is the honesty); the
+   licence line prints for both. Vacuous-gate law applies: an atlas with no tier FAILS.
+4. **The dig UX for real items (C).** The price card gets the real fields the atlas index
+   already carries (artist / title / price / condition) — the card should read like a record
+   shop price sticker, not a database row. Budget ceilings unchanged.
+5. **B returns — dig-adjacent street polish (your pick, at last).** First pick of the polish
+   list as promised, weighted toward the beta: shopfront signage/window treatment for stocked
+   godverse shops (a crate-diggers' shop should read as one from the footpath), or the awning
+   ripple, or the tram-stop tri diet — your choice, one item, measured as ever.
+6. **The beta gate (F).** Per-shop distinctness (no two keyed crates identical — assert on
+   title sets, the R24 pattern), tier provenance visible in gate output (a mint crate never
+   reports as real), the ladder re-proof, `qa.sh --strict --matrix`, tag **`v5.0-beta`**, push.
+7. **A / D — on-call.** A: nothing pending (your R25 close was clean). D: nothing — unless F's
+   distinctness gate wants a crowd check at a stocked shop (patronage at Monster Robot on a
+   Saturday feels like a D flourish, not a requirement).

+Charter v5 + vacuous-gate + the id-namespace note above. Golden discipline: no town-cache
+changes this round → no golden moves (mint atlases are `stock_godverse/**` files, outside every
+golden). No server code — tier 2 stays design until the beta ships and the v5.0 round charters
+it against the ratified G3.
+
+## THE EXACT RUN ORDER
+
+0. **WAVE 0: E commits; F lands the verdict and (on green) tags `v5.0-alpha`.** Hard stop until
+   the tag verdict is known.
+1. **Start together: C (#1 contract line + #4 dig card) + B (#5 pick).**
+2. **When C's line lands: G (#2 mint baker + depth) and E (#3 tier arm) in parallel.**
+3. **When G + E are in: F (#6)** — distinctness gate, ladder, tag **`v5.0-beta`**, push.
+
+Waves: **[E-commit, F-verdict] → [C, B] → [G, E] → [F]**. A/D on-call.
+
+## Standing
+
+- **John — nothing needs you.** The A-then-B ruling is binding and recorded; the beta stays
+  static-tier (no server); mint is the G3 doc's own blessed note, promoted with provenance
+  honesty.
+- **v5.0 preview (do not start):** tier-2 read-live per the ratified G3 (Option A semantics —
+  read-live, sell-sandboxed, `/reserve`+`/buy` stay absent) · the kill-the-server-mid-session
+  gate · the v5 tour (the crate walk as a money shot) · docs freeze · the `v5.0` tag · the
+  epoch retro.

 So treat it as an **opaque key**: never derive it from `id`, never assume equality, never build a mapping
 table (the R12 gigKey lesson — one key, zero mapping; **G emits it, everyone else reads it**).
 
+**A godverse cache is MIXED — that's the design (Ruling 2, law as of R25).** It carries a **keyed GODVERSE
+layer** (census shops + injected shops like Monster Robot) **plus an inherited OSM texture layer that is
+legitimately unkeyed**. The texture layer is load-bearing, not cosmetic — G measured that census-only Red
+Hill was unshippable (306 m spacing warn, a poster inside a kerb) and the texture layer fixed it. Real
+shape today: `newtown_godverse` = 18 keyed + 54 texture; `redhill_godverse` = 10 keyed + 27 texture.
+**Unkeyed shops are not a gap and no gate may assert them away.**
+
 **Rules** — split by what is actually a hazard, not by tidiness:
 - **Malformed → ERROR.** Must be a **positive integer**. It names a path segment, so `"3962749"` and
   `3962749` are the same folder but different JSON; that coercion drift is the species that produced the
   `licence`/`license` atlas break. One truth.
 - **Duplicate within a cache → ERROR.** Two shops keyed to one atlas *is* mis-stocking (charter risk #3:
   "fail-soft to tier 0, **never mis-stocked**").
-- **Missing on a `source: "godverse+osm"` cache → WARN, and those shops fall soft to tier 0 (parody).**
-  Not an error: the charter's determinism boundary is *world = seeded and gated, stock = data tiers*, so a
-  town must never fail to load because its **stock** identity is absent. The teeth are in `selfcheck`,
-  where **partial keying FAILS** (a half-keyed town silently mis-stocks the rest) and zero keying prints an
-  explicit **SKIP** with the count, per the vacuous-gate law.
+- **An entirely empty GODVERSE layer → WARN.** A `godverse+osm` cache with no id on *any* shop is an osm
+  cache wearing the wrong `source`. Still a warn, not an error: the charter's determinism boundary is
+  *world = seeded and gated, stock = data tiers*, so a town must never fail to load because its **stock**
+  identity is absent — tier 0 is the designed ladder.
+- **Mixed → silent.** Some keyed, some not, is normal and raises nothing.
+
+`selfcheck` gates the keyed subset per-layer: the layer reaches the plan, ids are unique **over defined ids
+only**, the lift invents no identity — plus an **orphaned-atlas gate** (a committed atlas whose shop the
+lift dropped = real stock keyed to a shop that isn't in the town → FAIL). Dropped keyed shops are printed,
+never silent.
 
 **It survives the lift.** `plan_osm` copies it onto `plan.shops[]`, because the runtime reads the *plan*,
 never the cache — without that the field would be decoration and F's per-shop `base` could never resolve.
