+## Update 2026-07-15 (round 13, v3.0-beta: the district) — two more rooms + the drummer
+
+R13 §Lane C. The district: two new venue archetypes + the 4-piece band + the RY-facing audit. Interfaces
+(re)published in [docs/LANES/LANE_C_PUB.md](docs/LANES/LANE_C_PUB.md) — **read §0 first (the pinned ry
+convention + the keeper/browser back-to-front finding for Lane D).** Committed C-only by pathspec (the tree
+had E/B/D changes landing concurrently — [[procity-shared-tree-hazard]]).
+
+**Shipped (C-owned files only): `theme.js`, `layout.js`, `interiors.js`.**
+- **`band_room` + `rsl` recipes** (`theme.js`, both `venue:true`), reusing the pub venue machinery with a new
+  `venueSpec` field. `band_room` = small/scuzzy tin shed (cosy/pokey bias, low 3.4 m ceiling, deck barely a
+  riser `deckY 0.2`, near-empty standing floor). `rsl` = carpet-and-flock club (hall/wide bias, tall 4.0 m,
+  proper stage `deckY 0.4`, bistro tables, the biggest crowd cap). A converts a shop with `shop.type = kind`;
+  C keys the recipe off it. `SHOP_TYPES` now auto-enrols both in `drawSweep`/`soak`.
+- **4-piece band (debt #3):** `placeStage` grows `stage.bandPoses` to **4** — front-line trio
+  (guitar/vocal/bass, `y=deckY`) + a **drummer** (`role:'drums'`, `seated:true`, up-stage on the drum riser,
+  `y=riserY=deckY+0.16`). Each pose now carries its own `y`; `stage.riserY` added. Applies to all three
+  archetypes (the pub gains a drummer too). Pure geometry — no new rng draw, determinism intact.
+- **Per-kind venue tuning:** `placeStage`/`placeWatchPoints` read `recipe.venueSpec` → deck size/height +
+  **crowd cap** (pub/band_room **8**, rsl **12** — the crowd-cap stress case). Pub values == the R12
+  constants, so the pub stage geometry is byte-identical (bar the new drummer).
+- **Robust gigKey (debt #1):** `audio.gigKey = 'gig-'+genreKey`, genre resolving `opts.gig.genreKey` →
+  `shop.genreKey` (A sets it) → a kind default. Matches E's renamed manifest beds `gig-pubrock`/`gig-grunge`/
+  `gig-covers` exactly (verified: manifest has all three, zero stale `pubrock-live`). One key, no mapping.
+
+**RY-facing audit (debt #4) — see LANE_C_PUB.md §0 for the full write-up + fix. Headline:**
+- Canonical convention pinned: **rig-front = local −Z at ry=0** (every C pose + the box placeholder use it).
+- **The GLB fleet mesh faces +Z (opposite).** Verified in a fresh context two ways: toe-bone probe
+  (`toe−foot = (0,+0.99)` on 5 peds) and dotting a fleet rig planted at `counter.stand.ry` against the
+  intended customer-facing (`−0.99` = 180° backward; `+π` → `+0.99`).
+- **Finding: keepers + browsers have been facing 180° backward whenever the GLB fleet is loaded** —
+  `keepers.js` spawns at `pose.ry` with no flip, and the mesh front is +Z. The R12 band reads right only
+  via `band.js RY_FLIP=π`. Placeholder (−Z) and GLB (+Z) are opposite, so it's inconsistent both ways.
+- **Recommended fix for Lane D (visual-only, no golden moves):** normalise at the source — rotate the clone
+  `inner` by π in `rigs.js buildFigure` so every GLB rig faces −Z; then `keepers.js` stays flip-free (now
+  correct) and `band.js` DROPS `RY_FLIP`. Repro below.
+
+**→ Lane F (flags_check.py): two smokes are RED by design — bump `band == 3` → `== 4`.** My 4th bandPose
+makes the band a 4-piece (D's `band.js` already iterates `bandPoses`, so it spawns 4 today), which trips F's
+R12 assertions verbatim as the round-13 instructions anticipated ("F's band==3 smoke moves to 4"):
+- `tools/flags_check.py:674` — `if night['band'] == 3` → `== 4`.
+- `tools/flags_check.py:794` — `if na['inRoom'] and na['band'] == 3 and na['crowd'] > 0` → `== 4`. *(The
+  noassets gig still happens — band 4, crowd 8, 0 fetches, 0 console errors; silent-and-happy holds. It only
+  "fails" because 3 is hardcoded.)* These are the ONLY qa reds from C; the other 5 gates pass.
+
+**→ Lane D:** lift each band member to `pose.y` (front line `deckY` unchanged; drummer sits at `riserY`);
+`seated:true` on the drums pose → seated bob; raise `band.js CROWD_CAP` to the watchPoint cap so the RSL's 12
+fill (I measured the full 12). And apply the §0 facing fix. Repro for the audit (paste in the interior test page):
+```js
+const rigs = await import('./js/citizens/rigs.js'); const THREE = await import('three');
+const fleet = rigs.loadPedFleet('models/peds/'); await fleet.whenReady;
+const sp = rigs.spawnRig(fleet.all[2], { ry: 0, height: 1.75 }); sp.fig.updateWorldMatrix(true, true);
+let foot, toe, wp = new THREE.Vector3();
+sp.inner.traverse(o => { if (o.isBone){ o.getWorldPosition(wp);
+  if (/LeftFoot$/i.test(o.name)) foot = wp.clone(); if (/LeftToeBase$/i.test(o.name)) toe = wp.clone(); }});
+console.log('fleet forward at ry=0:', toe.clone().sub(foot).setY(0).normalize()); // → (0, +1) = +Z
+```
+
+**Budgets (measured, fresh context, seed 20261990):**
+- Empty shells (`drawSweep` glb-off): band_room 124 · pub 126 · rsl 135 (worst town-wide 161 opshop/hall) ≤350.
+- **Gig-night incl. full crowd + 4-piece:** worst **RSL 237 draws** asset-free (16 rigs) / 77 GLB, 40.9k tris.
+  pub 176/56, band_room 173/53. ≤350 draws / 200k tris. ✓
+- 90-build venue soak: 0 determinism · 0 carve · 0 path-fail · worst 8.3 ms; leak geo0/tex0. `soak(60)` in
+  the page: PASS 60 rooms, leak 0/0, determinism identical, worst draws 85. qa figure-scale gate: 24 figs
+  human-sized. Shot: [docs/shots/laneC/rsl_gig_r13.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/rsl_gig_r13.jpg) — RSL, 4-piece
+  facing the crowd, crowd facing the stage (facing reads correct via band.js's flip).
+
+**Drummer veto (John):** default is Fable's 4-piece ruling (executed). To revert to a front-line trio, drop
+`bandPoses[3]` in `layout.js placeStage` (1 line) + F reverts the smoke to `== 3` — say so before D wires it.

+## Round 13 (v3.0-beta — THE DISTRICT, `?gigs=1`) — WIRED + VERIFIED + TAGGED
+
+A–E landed, then D (4-piece + instruments + queue + RY fix). F wired the district together and it fires.
+**Seed 20261990 → "Boolarra Heads": 3 venues, 2 playing tonight — The Exchange Hotel (pub, `gig-pubrock`)
++ an RSL (`gig-covers`), one dark (reads true).** All 7 F tasks done, `qa.sh --strict` GREEN (6/6, 0 warn),
+tag **`v3.0-beta`**. Shots: `docs/shots/laneF/r13_v3beta_gig_interior.png` + `r13_v3beta_venue_night.png`.
+
+**What F did (ROUND13 §Lane F):**
+1. **Per-venue state machine** — `gig_state.js` rewritten: one latch per venue off the shared
+   `procity:segment` spine, keyed by `venueShopId`; all three hard-won R12 laws preserved. New runtime
+   surface `window.PROCITY.gigs.byVenue` + per-venue getters (`onOf/openOf/gigOf/coverOf/paidOf…`); the
+   R12 single-venue alias kept one round. B's `venue.js`/`audio.js` + D's `setGig` read it.
+2. **Walla + applause** — the crowd bed `crowd-walla` rides the interior tone layer under the live band bed
+   while `on`; an `applause` sting fires once on the `on→done` edge while inside. Verified: `iMusic=gig-pubrock`,
+   `iTone=crowd-walla`.
+3. **Cover per venue** — the door seam keys off the shop entered, so a night at two venues is two covers.
+4. **Debt #1 closed — was a LIVE BUG** — E renamed `pubrock-live→gig-pubrock`, so F's R12 `GIG_BED` bridge
+   (rewrote `gig-pubrock→pubrock-live`) pointed at a dead key → the band would have mimed in silence.
+   Deleted; the room's `audio.gigKey` (already the manifest key) feeds the engine directly.
+5. **Stature gate** — `interior_scale_check.py` now measures stature (crown−foot, platform-independent),
+   ceiling-clip assert kept as its own line (debt #6).
+6. **District smokes** — `smoke_gigs`: band→4, a per-venue loop (every gigKey resolves across 3 genres,
+   crowd ≤ its own watchPoints, no-giants), street budget at the busiest venue block, the queue assert,
+   plus the R12 determinism/cover/noassets/flags-off arms. All green.
+7. **The outdoor queue** — D shipped `VenueQueue` and left the street-side lifecycle to F (its documented
+   seam): F wires one queue per venue in the shell (spawn at doors off B's `queueZoneFor`, drive each frame,
+   dispose by `done`), exposed as `queueCountOf(id)`. Verified: 2 in line at doors → 0 by done.
+
+**Numbers (seed 20261990):** gig interior 62 draws / 34k tris (≤350) · street @ venue block 107 draws /
+47k tris (≤300/200k) · band+crowd stature 1.61–1.81 m under a 4 m ceiling · cover $10 debited-once/re-entry-

+
+Lane A ran **first** again (C/D/B/F all hang off the district `plan.gigs`). Same flag, same prime-flag
+law: **flags-off byte-identical — all v2 goldens frozen** (synthetic `0x3fa36874`, osm unchanged).
+Self-check **ALL GREEN 3273/3273**; `scaffold_check` + `consistency` GREEN. The gig **entry shapes are
+unchanged** — the alpha's one-venue readers now iterate 2–4. Interfaces published in `LANE_A_NOTES.md`
+(§Round 13) and `CITY_SPEC.md` (§v3.0-beta) in this same commit.
+
+Delivered (all behind `?gigs=1`):
+1. **2–4 venues, three kinds** — `pickVenues` converts a seeded 2–4 plain shops in place: `pub` (spine
+   end), `band_room` (warehouse fringe), `rsl` (off-spine), 4th = a 2nd pub at the far end. Each carries
+   `venueKind` + `genreKey` (`pubrock`/`grunge`/`covers`). Registry gains weight-0 `band_room`+`rsl` types
+   (facades, hours, footprints). Placement degrades gracefully so osm towns still get venues. Never the
+   openLate landmark; venues occupy distinct lots.
+2. **The gigKey contract (debt #1)** — `gigKeyFor(genreKey) => 'gig-'+genreKey`, the single exported
+   genre→bed mapping (no table anywhere). C/E/B/F all route through it; F deletes the `GIG_BED` bridge.
+3. **`plan.gigs` goes district** — 7 nights × every venue, each playing a seeded **4–6** (dark the rest,
+   reads true). `gigId` unique town-wide; cover skewed by kind (pub 50%/`$2–10`, RSL 45%/`$2–5`, band_room
+   70%/`$2–6`). **No band plays two venues on one night**; custom names spread night-major across the week.
+4. **`plan.posters` goes town-wide** — tonight's playing venues each get a frontage poster + a seeded spine
+   run (2/main edge, either verge). Different venues share pole runs — the district reading.
+5. **Verge offset (debt #5 PAID)** — the R12 bug (spine posters at `node.x+2` = mid-bitumen on a 28 m
+   corridor) is fixed by the new corridor law: `roadWidth`/`vergeBand`/`poleOffset(edge)` in registry.js,
+   re-exported from the barrel — the road-vs-verge split of `edge.width`, published as **functions** (no
+   plan fields ⇒ base goldens frozen). Selfcheck now asserts no poster stands on a carriageway.
+6. **Registry `pub.interior` corrected** `'band_room'`→`'pub'` (was an unread field; now avoids a
+   name-collision with the new `band_room` venue type — C keys recipes off `shop.type`, not this field).
+
+Golden re-pin: gig golden `0xa6ae5a5e`→**`0x1f636349`** (multi-venue changed gig-plan output; re-pinned
+in-commit per CITY_SPEC amendment law). New selfcheck coverage: 2–4 venues + known kinds + `type≡venueKind`
++ genre map + gigKey ≡ `gig-`+genreKey; 4–6 gigs/venue, ≤1 gig/night/venue, no same-night band clash
+town-wide; posters advertise night-0 and **clear every carriageway**. Sample seed 20261990 → 3 venues:
+The Exchange Hotel (pub), Wangaratta RSL, The Vinyl Shed (band room, dark tonight); 14 gigs across the week.
+
+**Handshake note for Lane C:** `RECIPES.band_room`/`RECIPES.rsl` don't exist in `theme.js` yet — until C
+adds them those venues fall back to the op-shop interior. That's the order (A→C). **Not run by A:** the

+## Round 13 (2026-07-15) — v3.0-beta THE DISTRICT (published FIRST; C/D/B/F hang off this)
+
+Supersedes the R12 alpha interface below. Same flag (`?gigs=1`), same prime-flag law: flag OFF ⇒ plan
+byte-identical to v2 (synthetic golden still `0x3fa36874`, osm unchanged). What changed: **one venue → 2–4;
+one genre → three (by kind); one night's posters → town-wide.** The gig **entry shapes are unchanged** —
+downstream code that read one venue now iterates many. Verified green: `selfcheck.js` 3273/3273,
+`scaffold_check` + `consistency` GREEN.
+
+**Gig golden re-pinned: `0xa6ae5a5e` → `0x1f636349`** (the district changed gig-plan output; re-pinned in
+the same commit as the change per CITY_SPEC amendment law). Turn-on is unchanged:
+`generatePlanFor(seed, src, { town, gigs:true, customBands })`.
+
+### The venues (NEW: 2–4 per town, three kinds) — `plan.shops.filter(s => s.venue)`
+Each converted-in-place venue shop carries three new fields:
+```
+s.venue === true · s.venueKind ∈ {'pub','band_room','rsl'} · s.genreKey ∈ {'pubrock','grunge','covers'}
+s.type === s.venueKind      // C keys its interior recipe off shop.type — the type IS the kind
+```
+| kind | genreKey | placement | hours | reads as |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `pub` | `pubrock` | spine end/corner | `[17,23]` | ≥2-storey corner hotel |
+| `band_room` | `grunge` | warehouse fringe | `[18,23]` | single-storey tin shed |
+| `rsl` | `covers` | off-spine | `[16,23]` | carpet-and-bistro club |
+- Seeded count 2–4; a 4th venue is a **second pub** at the far spine end. A town always has ≥1 pub.
+- **Never** the openLate landmark (still exactly one openLate shop). Placement degrades gracefully so osm
+  towns (no warehouse district, maybe no spine) still get their venues.
+- `genreKey` comes from the registry kind→genre map: `genreForVenueKind(kind)` / `SHOP_TYPES[kind].genre`.
+
+### THE gigKey CONTRACT (debt #1 — import it, don't build the string)
+The audio-manifest bed key **IS** the gigKey and is **always** `gig-<genreKey>`. No mapping table anywhere:
+```js
+import { gigKeyFor } from './citygen/index.js';   // re-exported from the barrel
+gigKeyFor('pubrock') === 'gig-pubrock'   // C sets audio.gigKey = gigKeyFor(genreKey); E names the bed the same; B reads it; F resolves it
+```
+R12 lost a bed to a private rename (`gig-pubrock` vs `pubrock-live`) — audio fails soft, so the band just
+mimed. One key, zero mapping. E renames `pubrock-live → gig-pubrock` this round; F deletes the `GIG_BED` bridge.
+
+### `plan.gigs` — the week across the whole district (entry shape UNCHANGED)
+```
+plan.gigs = [ { gigId, venueShopId, bandName, genreKey, night, startSeg, endSeg, cover }, … ]
+```
+- **7 nights × every venue, but not every venue plays every night**: each venue plays a seeded **4–6** of
+  the 7, dark the rest (reads true). `gigId` unique **town-wide**; `night ∈ [0,7)`; `genreKey ≡` its venue's.
+- **Pick tonight per venue** (each venue has its own state now): `plan.gigs.filter(g => g.venueShopId === v.id && g.night === 0)[0]` — **may be undefined** (venue dark tonight; F/B skip it, no poster).
+- `startSeg=5 endSeg=5`. Same `quiet → doors(seg4) → on(seg5) → done` machine — F runs one **per venue**.
+- `cover` ∈ `{0}∪[2,10]`, skewed by kind: pub 50% free/`$2–10`, RSL 45% free/`$2–5`, band_room 70% free/`$2–6`.
+  F debits **per venue** — a night at two venues is two covers.
+- **No band plays two venues on one night** (guaranteed by A). Custom names spread night-major across the
+  whole week town-wide (deduped, priority-seeded), the rest generated.
+
+### `plan.posters` — town-wide now (shape UNCHANGED; **Lane B** renders)
+```
+plan.posters = [ { id, gigId, x, z, ry }, … ]   // only TONIGHT's (night 0) playing venues advertised
+```
+- One on each playing venue's **own frontage** (on the facade plane) + a seeded spine run (2 per main edge).
+- Different venues' posters share the same pole runs — that IS the district reading. `p.gigId` tells B/F
+  which venue's gig each poster sells (`plan.gigs.find(g=>g.gigId===p.gigId)`).
+- **Debt #5 fixed:** posters no longer land mid-road. See the corridor law ↓.
+
+### The street-corridor law (debt #5) — NEW helpers, use for ANY street furniture
+`edge.width` is the **full corridor** (carriageway + verge, centreline ± width/2), NOT the carriageway.
+`node.x + 2` seats furniture on the bitumen. Registry now exports the split (re-exported from the barrel):
+```js
+import { roadWidth, vergeBand, poleOffset } from './citygen/index.js';
+roadWidth(edge)   // carriageway half-corridor (main 10m, side 6–8, lane=all, arcade 0)
+vergeBand(edge)   // [inner,outer] — where footpath furniture belongs
+poleOffset(edge)  // where a pole/poster/post seats: just behind the kerb
+```
+Selfcheck now **asserts** no poster stands within `roadWidth/2` of any edge centreline.
+
+### → Lane C: two recipes to add + the gigKey + a corrected field
+- `getRecipe(shop.type)` resolves off `RECIPES[type]` — `RECIPES.pub` exists; **`RECIPES.band_room` and
+  `RECIPES.rsl` do NOT yet.** Until you add them, those venues fall back to the op-shop interior. That's
+  the handshake — you're next in order.
+- Set `room.audio.gigKey = gigKeyFor(shop.genreKey)` (import from the barrel) — never hand-build `'gig-…'`.
+- Registry `pub.interior` was `'band_room'` (harmless, unread — you key off `shop.type` via `canonicalType`);
+  I corrected it to `'pub'` so it isn't a name-collision with the new `band_room` venue type. No behaviour change.
+
+### → Lane D: iterate the venues, one setGig each
+`const venues = plan.shops.filter(s => s.venue)` — call `setGig` **per venue** (multiple concurrent). Tonight's
+gig per venue as above (skip dark ones). `isOpen(shopOrHours, hour)` unchanged (half-open law). Queue zone
+comes from B (`venue.queueZone`) — consume if present, else a straight line off the door.
+
+### → Lane F: state machine goes per-venue
+One latch **per venue keyed by `venueShopId`**, off the same `procity:segment` spine. `gigKeyFor(genreKey)`
+resolves all three genres (the debt-#1 assert now covers 3). Delete `GIG_BED` once E's rename lands. Cover
+charge is per venue (per-venue paid stamps). Keep the alpha `window.PROCITY.gigs` shape as a compat alias
+for one round (B reads it mid-round).

 # LANE B — NOTES (measured)
 
+## Round 13 (Fable's ROUND13 → Lane B) — the district reads by night (`?gigs=1`, v3.0-beta)
+
+Four B pieces, all gig-gated (flags-off byte-identical, verified). Files: `venue.js` (rewrite),
+`audio.js` (spill), `dbg.js` (bookmarks). Verified in a **fresh browser context** (the stale-module
+trap bit me once here — the pre-warmed tab served R12 `venue.js`; a `cache:'reload'` + hard nav fixed
+it, proof = the returned object's key set flipped from R12 `{frontage,venueShopId}` to R13
+`{venues,venueShopIds,queueZones,…}`). Seed 20261990 = **Boolarra Heads, 3 venues**: The Exchange
+Hotel (pub/pubrock, id116), Wangaratta RSL (rsl/covers, id404), The Vinyl Shed (band_room/grunge,
+id490); 14 gigs/week, tonight **Screaming Utes @ pub $10** + **The Dead Ringers @ RSL free**.
+
+### 1. `venue.js` generalised to N venues — `createVenuePresentation(plan, skins, scene)`
+Now renders **every** `plan.shops` with `s.venue`, not just the pub. Returns
+`{ group, venues[], update(gigStates), dispose, venueShopId (primary/alpha compat), venueShopIds[],
+queueZones{}, queueZoneFor(id), frontage (primary, compat), posterCount, posterDraws }`.
+- **Frontage per venue** — warm marquee slab + emissive bulb row over the door, on B's **+Z facade
+  side** (`sin ry, cos ry`; buildings.js canon), plus a **window-light spill** wash (additive, faint
+  night baseline + gig glow). Ramped per-venue by `update()`.
+- **Streetlamp pools (the night-readability pass)** — one procedural warm radial sprite, **one
+  InstancedMesh for the whole district** (door pool + 2 footpath pools per venue). Night-driven (on at
+  NIGHT, off by day — streetlamps don't care about gigs), so venue blocks read on the Friday-night walk.
+  Scoped to venue blocks; **town-wide deferred on purpose** (would need always-on `furniture.js`
+  changes → breaks flags-off parity).
+- **Posters, town-wide, instanced per gig.** A given gig's poster is identical wherever pasted, so B
+  groups `plan.posters` by `gigId`, picks ONE seeded skin per gig, and renders each group as a single
+  `InstancedMesh` → **14 posters tonight = 2 draws / 2 canvas textures** (was 1 mesh + 1 canvas each).
+  Band name overprinted in the skin's `nameZone`; flat printed-poster fallback on 404 / `?noassets`.
+- **`?noassets` fetch fix (latent R12 bug).** R12 `posterTexture` fetched `poster-*.jpg` even under
+  `?noassets`. R13 gates the fetch behind `!noassets` (read from the URL, like buildings.js `WINMAP`).
+  Measured `?noassets=1&gigs=1`: **0 poster fetch, 0 audio/manifest fetch** — the gig layer adds no
+  network over the documented 22-JPEG facade/ground baseline. Venue still builds (flat posters), no crash.
+
+### 2. `audio.js` muffled spill → per-genre, per-venue (debt #1 closed on B's side)
+The R12 spill hard-coded `pubrock-live`; E's rename made that a **silent bed** (band mimes). Now B
+`import { gigKeyFor } from '../citygen/gigs.js'` (the ONE genre→bed map) and spills each venue's
+`gig-<genreKey>`. Walks the venue list, the **nearest venue at doors/on within 26 m wins**, so
+pub→band_room→RSL **crossfades the genre** through the same 470 Hz lowpass. Verified beds resolve to
+E's manifest: pub→`gig-pubrock`, RSL→`gig-covers`, band_room→`gig-grunge` (all present). Audio engine
+loads `live` with the new citygen import; flags-off it loads fine and the spill loop is skipped
+(no `s.venue` shops). **F: delete the `GIG_BED` bridge — B no longer needs it.**
+
+### 3. Queue-zone marker (for Lane D) — `venue.queueZone = { x, z, ry, len }`
+Each venue publishes a queue zone: a subtle chalk-pale ground strip **beside the door** (past the
+marquee edge, out on the footpath), running **along the frontage**. `queueZones` = `{ [venueShopId]:
+zone }`; also `queueZoneFor(id)`. **Contract for D:** `(x,z)` = the head (front of queue, at the door
+end); the line **extends** in `(sin ry, cos ry)` for `len` metres; a queuer **faces the door** =
+`(−sin ry, −cos ry)`. D places poses at `head + (sin ry, cos ry)·s` for `s ∈ [0,len]`. Verified 3
+zones seat correctly (pub head (−30.9, 390.0) beside the door). D's fallback ("straight line from the
+door") stays valid if the zone is absent.
+
+### 4. `dbg.js` bookmarks — the street money shots (for `tools/qa/gig_shot.py`)
+- **`venue_night`** (seg 5): stands 13 m in front of the **pub** frontage — lit marquee + streetlamp
+  pools + window spill + queue + posters, dark CLOSED neighbours behind. The street money shot.
+- **`district_posters`** (seg 5): the spine at night, poster poles + lit frontages receding.
+- New `poseForVenue(kind, dist)` resolves from the live plan (falls back to `streetViewPose` with no
+  gig layer, so flags-off shots don't crash).
+
+### `update(gigStates)` — the shape to agree with F (F drives it every street frame)
+`update` is **polymorphic**: pass `{ [venueShopId]: 'quiet'|'doors'|'on'|'done' }` (a plain object or
+Map, or `{ byVenue: {…} }`) for **per-venue** frontage lighting; a **bare state string** is alpha
+compat and lights **only the primary pub** (`plan.gigs[0].venueShopId`). **F R13 ask:** build
+`window.PROCITY.gigs.byVenue = { [venueShopId]: { state, cover, paid, … } }` (keep the alpha single
+object as a compat alias) and call `venuePresentation.update(PROCITY.gigs.byVenue)`. **audio.js reads
+`PROCITY.gigs.byVenue[id].state` too** (falls back to the alpha alias, then a clock fallback from
+`plan.gigs` night 0), so the spill works across the transition. Until F wires the map, only the pub
+frontage marquee lights from the alpha string — **pools + baseline window glow (night-driven) light
+all venue blocks regardless**, so the district still reads at night.
+
+### Budget (measured, fresh Chromium, gigs-on, NIGHT, all frontages lit, busiest = pub block)
+| view | scene draws | tris | gate |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `venue_night` (composer total) | **96–113** | 19–32k | ≤300 / ≤200k ✅ |
+| pub block 3/4 street (worst of 4 poses) | **154 scene (~167 total)** | **64k** | ✅ ~130 draw margin |
+| `district_posters` (composer total) | 142 | — | ✅ |
+Gig-night layer cost is tiny: pools **1 draw**, posters **≤2 draws** (instanced per gig), frontage
+~3 draws/venue-in-frame. `?noassets=1&gigs=1` worst 176–198 (post passes vary), still ≤300. **0
+console errors** in every mode (gigs / gigs+noassets / flags-off).
+
+### → Lane A (a finding for you — cross-lane, please flip one sign)
+`buildPosters` **item 1** seats each venue's own frontage poster at `lot + (−sin ry, −cos ry)·(d/2)`
+— the lot's **−Z** side. But B's facades/doors are on **+Z** (buildings.js canon since round 1, and
+the shipped town the player faces), so the venue-frontage poster lands on the **back wall**: measured
+for the pub it's **15.9 m from the street facade, 0.07 m from the back**. The CITY_SPEC "front = −Z"
+poster convention disagrees with the building convention — a street-side sibling of debt #4's RY
+clash. **Fix:** item 1 → `+sin, +cos` (the spine-run posters, which use the pole outward-normal
+derivation, render correctly and face the footpath — verified "SCREAMING UTES" readable, not
+mirrored). B renders A's `(x,z,ry)` verbatim (mesh oriented `ry+π` to face A's −Z normal), so once A
+flips, the pub gets its poster with no B change. Not blocking the money shot (marquee + pools carry it).

+
+## 0. The pinned pose `ry` convention (ROUND13 debt #4) — READ THIS FIRST
+
+**Canonical convention (all of C's poses use it):** a pose's `ry` is the yaw of a thing whose **front /
+outward normal is local −Z at ry=0**, i.e. world-facing `(−sin ry, −cos ry)`. `counter.stand`,
+`browsePoints`, `watchPoints` and `bandPoses` ALL follow it, and the box placeholder (`placeholder.js`) is
+built to it (toes at −Z). This is the long-standing convention `keepers.js` greet math already assumes.
+
+**The GLB fleet mesh is the outlier — it faces local +Z at ry=0.** Verified two ways in a fresh context:
+- toe-bone probe (`toe − foot`, the anatomically-anterior direction) on 5 peds → `(0.05..0.14, +0.99)` = **+Z**.
+- planting a fleet rig at C's `counter.stand.ry` via `spawnRig` (no flip) and dotting its forward against
+  the intended customer-facing direction → **−0.99 (180° backward)**; at `ry+π` → +0.99.
+- for contrast the box placeholder's foot mesh sits at z −0.076 → **−Z** (matches the convention).
+
+**Finding: with the GLB fleet loaded, keepers AND browsers have been facing 180° backward since the fleet
+was wired in.** `keepers.js` spawns rigs at `stand.ry` / `browsePoint.ry` with **no flip**, and the mesh
+front is +Z, so the keeper faces the bar wall and the browser faces the aisle instead of the goods. The R12
+band reads correctly only because `band.js` added `RY_FLIP = π`. The two actor kinds are **opposite**
+(placeholder −Z, GLB rig +Z), so the current per-consumer state is inconsistent both ways:
+
+| consumer | applies | placeholder (−Z front) | GLB rig (+Z front) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `keepers.js` (keepers, browsers) | no flip | ✅ correct | ❌ **backward** |
+| `band.js` (band, crowd) | `+RY_FLIP` (π) | ❌ backward | ✅ correct |
+
+**Recommended canonical fix (Lane D — visual only, NO golden moves, no C poses change):** normalise the
+fleet at the source. In `rigs.js buildFigure`, rotate the cloned `inner` by π about Y so every GLB rig's
+front becomes **−Z**, matching the placeholder and every C pose. Then:
+- `keepers.js` stays flip-free and is now correct for GLB too (fixes keepers + browsers);
+- `band.js` **drops** `RY_FLIP` (set to 0) — the poses already face right under the −Z convention;
+- placeholder and GLB modes become consistent (no more mode-dependent facing).
+
+One rotation at the source, delete every consumer flip. C's data does not move (pure poses, all −Z already),
+so no golden is touched — it's the visual fix debt #4 anticipated. Repro handed to D in `C-progress.md`.
+
+*(If D prefers to keep the flip per-consumer instead, the equivalent is: ADD `RY_FLIP` to `keepers.js`
+spawns — but that leaves placeholder-mode keepers backward, so the source-normalise is the clean one.)*

+## 1. What `buildInterior` returns for a venue (`shop.type` ∈ `pub` | `band_room` | `rsl`)
+
+Everything below is **pure data on the return** (room-local coords, the ry convention pinned in §0). Lane D
+drops rigs straight in; Lane F reads state — no new lifecycle vs. the R9 keeper/browser seam.
+
+### `room.stage` — the band stage, now a **4-PIECE** (ROUND13 debt #3, null for non-venues)
 ```js
 room.stage = {
   x, z,            // deck centre (against the back wall)
-  w, d,            // deck size (m)
+  w, d,            // deck size (m) — varies by kind (table below)
-  deckY,           // top surface height (m) — band rigs stand at y = deckY
+  deckY,           // deck top surface height (m) — front line stands here
+  riserY,          // drum riser top height (m) = deckY + 0.16 — the drummer sits here
   frontZ,          // z of the deck lip (the crowd stands in front of this, +Z)
-  bandPoses: [ { x, z, ry, role } ×3 ],   // guitar / vocal / bass, across the deck front, facing the crowd (ry=π → +Z)
+  bandPoses: [ { x, z, ry, role, y, seated? } ×4 ],
 }
 ```
-**Lane D:** put the 3-piece band at `bandPoses` (lift to `y = deckY`); `role` hints instrument. Drummer
+- `bandPoses[0..2]` = the **front line**: `role` ∈ `guitar` / `vocal` / `bass`, across the deck lip, `y = deckY`.
-can sit up-stage on the riser (there's a raised riser at deck-centre-back) — your call, C just gives 3 front poses.

-Instruments = E's GLBs when present, primitives otherwise (asset law).
+  `y = riserY` (= `deckY + 0.16`, the `fittings.js` stage riser). The riser mesh already exists in the stage
+  fitting — the pose just seats the kit + drummer on it.
+- **Lane D:** lift each member to **its own `pose.y`** (was `stage.deckY`; front line is unchanged, the
+  drummer now sits 0.16 m higher on the riser). `role` hints the instrument — E's GLBs via `opts.instrumentFor(role)`
+  (electric_guitar/bass_guitar/mic_stand/drum_kit), primitives otherwise (asset law). `seated:true` → seated bob.
+- `ry = π` faces the audience (+Z) **under the pinned −Z convention** → apply your fleet flip per §0.
+- **John may veto to a front-line trio** (charter): say so before you start and C ships `bandPoses` length 3

+town (hall/wide), a proper raised stage at one end, bistro tables round the edge, members' bar, the biggest
+crowd cap. Both reuse the `pub` venue machinery (`theme.js venueSpec` + `layout.js` placeStage/placeWatchPoints);

+## ROUND 13 — v3.0-beta the district: the RY fix, instruments/drummer, the queue, multi-venue surge
+
+*PROCITY-D, 2026-07-15. Behind `?gigs=1`; verified in-shell against A's landed 3-venue plan (pub #116
+`pubrock` / rsl #404 `covers` / band_room #490 `grunge`, 14 gigs / 14 posters) and C's landed 4-pose
+stage (guitar/vocal/bass + a seated `drums` on the riser). Files: `rigs.js`, `band.js`, new `queue.js`,
+`sim.js`. `keepers.js` / `placeholder.js` / `impostor.js` UNCHANGED — the RY fix at the source corrects
+them for free.*
+
+### Debt #4 — the RY audit: fixed once at the source (⚠ this changes the flags-off street VISUAL)
+**Finding (confirmed in-scene):** the imported ped GLBs' visual front is local **+Z**, but *everything
+downstream assumes −Z* — `sim.js` heading math (`facing = atan2(-dx,-dz)`), C's pose `ry`
+(counter.stand / bandPoses / watchPoints / browse points), the placeholder (`placeholder.js:61` builds
+toes to −Z *on purpose*, "like the GLB rigs"), and the impostor bake/pick convention. So the GLB was the
+lone outlier: **keepers faced the back wall, browsers faced away, and every streamed rig walker moon-walked
+(faced anti-travel)** — all subtly, for ~12 rounds, because near+mid were consistently-wrong-together
+(seamless) and peds are mostly seen from behind. R12's band carried a local `RY_FLIP=π` that patched only
+the gig.
+
+**Fix:** one line in `rigs.js buildFigure` — `inner.rotation.y = Math.PI` — normalises every rig's front
+to −Z, matching the rest of the system. Then `RY_FLIP` is deleted from `band.js` (band/crowd use C's `ry`
+verbatim). Because the impostor atlas bakes this same `buildFigure`/`spawnRig` output and the layer's
+yaw-pick already uses the −Z convention, near↔mid stays seamless (both flip together). It's **purely
+visual** — a Y-rotation leaves every bone's world-Y untouched, so head-height / feet-plant, the no-giants
+gate, and all seeded identity/determinism are byte-unchanged (**no golden move**).
+
+**Verified:** keeper now faces the shop floor (was the back wall); **223/223** gig-mode + **188/188**
+flags-off streamed walkers face their edge-travel direction (avg dot **1.000**; was −1.0); band faces the
+crowd + crowd faces the stage with `RY_FLIP` gone; `?noassets` placeholder band (which the old flip left
+facing the backdrop) is now correct too.
+
+- **→ Lane C (pose contract, please land in LANE_C_PUB.md):** *"Rig visual front is canonical **local −Z**
+  (`rigs.js buildFigure` normalises the GLB's native +Z). All pose `ry` (counter.stand, bandPoses,
+  watchPoints, browse points) are the −Z-front heading the rig should face — no lane compensates; the R12
+  `RY_FLIP` is gone."* Your existing `ry` values were already correct under this — nothing to change.
+- **→ Lane F / Fable (flags-off flag):** the fix is in the shared rig stack, so the **default (flags-off)
+  street crowd now faces travel** instead of moon-walking. Determinism + the golden plan hash are
+  untouched (visual only), but if any regression snapshots *pixels* it will move — it's a bug fix, re-pin
+  if needed (improvement, not a leak).
+
+### Debt #2 — instrument GLBs wired (placeholder-persists, fail-soft, fleet-gated)
+`band.js` keeps its primitive instruments as the immediate/​`?noassets` fallback, then swaps E's manifest
+GLBs in async when they resolve (same pattern as `interiors/glb.js`). Role → fitting: `guitar`→
+`electric_guitar`, `bass`→`bass_guitar`, `vocal`→`mic_stand` (planted), `drums`→`drum_kit` (planted at the
+riser), plus one `guitar_amp` as backline dressing. Manifest is **self-fetched** (promise-cached) so band.js
+stays decoupled from C's glb.js, and the whole upgrade is **gated on `fleet.ready`** → under `?noassets`
+(fleet null) it never fetches (proven: fresh-tab network shows **0** `procity_fit_*` / `manifest`
+requests). Disposal-guarded by a generation counter; GLB clones share the cached geo/mats (detach-only,
+never dispose — only the `ownGeo`-tagged primitives are freed). Orientation lives in one `GLB_FIT` table
+(guitars need a +Z roll to sling; the kit is scaled 0.66 to fit C's tight 0.73 m vocal↔drums gap).
+
+### Debt #3 — the drummer (4-piece, Fable's ruling)
+`bandPoses.forEach` already picks up C's 4th `drums` pose (`seated:true`, riser `y`). The drummer sinks
+`SEAT_DROP` (0.52 m) so the kit hides the straight legs and it reads seated **from the front — the crowd
+POV / money shot**; from a hard side angle the sink shows (a standing rig faked as seated). A true seated
+pose is a clip job — see the wishlist. Build is **defensive**: if John had vetoed to a trio, C simply
+omits the pose and the band is 3 with zero D change.
+
+### The outdoor queue (charter item — new `web/js/citizens/queue.js`)
+`VenueQueue`: a seeded 2–6 line on the same gate-protected rig path, idle-animated, that drains as punters
+are admitted and empties by close. Consumes B's `venue.queueZone` when present, else a straight line off
+the door — the fallback trails along the **frontage tangent** so it hugs the building instead of spilling
+onto the road. Verified: spawn (5 rigs, human-sized, hug the frontage, face the venue), `admitOne()` drains
+the head + shuffles everyone up to target, and a seeded auto-drain safety. **F seam** (wire per venue off
+the street-side gig state):
+```js
+const q = new VenueQueue({ citySeed: plan.citySeed, fleet });
+q.spawn(streetGroup, { door, queueZone, gigId });   // at 'doors' (+ 'on' overflow); door = {x,z,ry}, ry = facing the entrance
+q.admitOne();                                        // on each admitted punter (cover-charge / entry hook)
+q.update(dt);                                        // each street frame — idle + lerp + slow auto-drain
+q.disposeAll();                                      // at 'done' / venue out of view
+```
+**→ Lane B:** publish `venue.queueZone = { x, z, ry, len }` — `(x,z)` = head by the door, `ry` = the
+heading a punter faces (toward the entrance), `len` = line length; the line trails single-file opposite the
+facing, so pick `ry` to run it along the verandah.
+
+### Multi-venue surge (`sim.js`)
+`setGig(venueShopId, on)` widened from a single `_gigVenue` to a `_gigVenues` **Set** so several concurrent
+gigs each pull their own block; `_nearestOpenShop` now prefers the nearest gig venue in `GIG_RANGE` across
+all of them. F's R12 single-venue call is a subset — still works. Non-gig patronage path is byte-identical.
+
+### Measured budgets (seed 20261990, "Boolarra Heads", The Exchange Hotel #116)

 # LANE E — cross-lane notes
 
+## Round 13 — two genres, the gigKey rename (debt #1), lighter instruments
+
+**v3.0-beta THE DISTRICT.** All local work landed + verified; the one gated step (depot publish)
+waits on John. Verification: core gates GREEN (scaffold · consistency 0-warn · citygen selfcheck
+3273/3273 incl. v3 gig-layer + assets-on-disk), manifest validator `--depot` GREEN, and the real
+app boots clean flags-off / `?gigs=1` (A's 3-venue district, 14 gigs/posters — all three gig beds
+resolve by canonical key, no stale key, 0 console errors) / `?noassets=1&gigs=1` (0 audio + 0 GLB
+fetches, silent-and-fine).
+
+### 1. gigKey rename — DONE (debt #1). **→ Lane B + Lane F: switch your readers.**
+The manifest music key IS the gigKey, **always `gig-<genreKey>`** — one key, zero mapping. Renamed
+`pubrock-live` → **`gig-pubrock`**; added `gig-grunge`, `gig-covers`. Files are now
+`audio/music-gig-{pubrock,grunge,covers}.{ogg,m4a}`; the old `music-pubrock-live.*` are **deleted**.
+Manifest regen'd + validates 0/0; no stale `pubrock-live` anywhere.
+- **→ Lane F (interior_mode.js):** DELETE the `GIG_BED` bridge (the `{'gig-pubrock':'pubrock-live'}`
+  map + `gigBedKey()`); read `ra.gigKey` (`gig-<genre>`) straight against `AUDIO.music[...]`. The
+  bridge currently maps to the now-gone `pubrock-live` → **fails soft to silence** (I verified: no
+  crash, just a silent band) until you delete it. This is your R13 task #4.
+- **→ Lane B (audio.js ~L274/276):** you hardcode `'pubrock-live'` for the street spill — read each
+  venue's `gigKey` bed instead (`AUDIO.music[venue.gigKey]`, i.e. `'gig-'+genreKey`). Same
+  fail-soft-silent until you switch. Your R13 task #2 (per-genre spill) covers this.
+- **CITY_SPEC §v3 contract line (coordinate wording w/ A):** *"The audio manifest key for a gig
+  genre IS the gigKey, always `gig-<genreKey>` (`gig-pubrock`, `gig-grunge`, `gig-covers`). No
+  mapping table: C emits `room.audio.gigKey`, E names the bed, B/F read the same key."*
+
+### 2. Two new gig beds — grunge (band_room) + covers (RSL).
+Procedural, seeded, loopable, OGG+M4A, loudnorm, $0 on-device (same discipline as R11/12). All three
+are audibly + spectrally distinct (spectral centroids pubrock 2336 / grunge 2271 / covers 1115 Hz;
+contact sheet `docs/shots/laneE/gig_beds_spectrograms.png`):
+- **`gig-grunge`** (0.6 gain, 17s): down-tuned sludge, quiet-loud dynamic (clean-ish verse → full-fuzz
+  chorus — visible in the spectrogram), loose heavy kit. Sits at −14.6 LUFS (genre-dense; a 1.02
+  *inter-sample* peak, not real clipping — plays at gain 0.6 so absolute output ≈0.6).
+- **`gig-covers`** (0.5 gain, 19s): mellow RSL covers band — new drawbar-`organ()` voice, walking
+  bass, soft kit, sparse organ answer. Warm, dark highs (that low continuous band + horizontal
+  harmonic striations in the spectrogram = the organ). New synth helpers: `organ()`, `grungechord()`.
+- **John may re-flavour genres (names only) — I synthesize to order.** Note it's now a coordinated
+  A+E change: the genreKey lives in A's `registry.js` (drives `gigKeyFor` → the bed name), so a
+  re-flavour = A renames the genreKey + E renames/re-synths the bed. Defaults grunge/covers are live.
+
+### 3. Instrument decimation — DONE. 5 GLBs → 14k tris each (≤15k target). **→ Lane D.**
+Collapse-decimated (Blender, `pipeline/decimate_props.py`) — **not** voxel-remesh, so thin features
+survive: mic pole + hanging cable, drum cymbals/stands, guitar necks/headstocks all read (thumbs
+re-rendered + eyeballed). Dims/orientation/base-origin/WebP preserved; GLB-law clean (no Draco, tex
+≤1024). Fleet **236k → 70k tris (−70%)** across the district's multiple stages.
+
+| instrument | tris (norm→14k) | footprint (m) | height |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| electric_guitar | 43.5k → 14k | 0.38×0.08 | 1.00 |

+| mic_stand | 34.1k → 14k | 0.57×0.57 | 1.70 |
+| drum_kit | 26.2k → 14k | 1.50×1.24 | 1.30 |
+| guitar_amp | 96.6k → 14k | 0.52×0.29 | 0.61 |
+
+- **→ Lane D:** wire against the SAME filenames (`procity_fit_{electric_guitar,bass_guitar,mic_stand,
+  drum_kit,guitar_amp}_01.glb`) — footprints/heights in the manifest are **unchanged**, so your
+  `instrumentFor(role)` fittings are unaffected; they're just lighter now. (debt #2)
+- High-poly originals preserved as `_hi` variants in `_normalized/` (git-ignored) for the depot.
+
+### 4. Depot publish — DONE (John OK'd direct publish). Gate 3 flag CLEARED.
+Published via the passwordless tailnet ingress (`GOD3_DEPOT=http://100.94.195.115:8788` — this box is
+allowlisted, so no secret handling). The 5 base names now serve the **14k bytes** and the 5 `_hi`
+hi-poly originals are live — verified on the public `digalot.fyi` depot (amp base 5.9MB→1.3MB, `_hi`
+5.9MB live, byte-identical to local). `_published.json` 33→38 (the 5 `_hi` recorded).

+
+## 13. Round 13 — v3.0-beta THE DISTRICT (`?gigs=1`). F wires it last; findings below.
+
+**What F built (all 7 tasks from ROUND13 §Lane F).** All committed Lane-F-only; verified green on m3ultra
+(`qa.sh --strict`, the focused district gate, the scale gate). A single WARN — the queue — is a documented
+handoff to D, not a hole (below).
+
+1. **Per-venue state machine** (`gig_state.js`, rewritten). One latch PER VENUE keyed by `venueShopId`; a
+   town of 2–4 venues runs 2–4 independent latches off the SAME `procity:segment` spine. All three hard-won
+   R12 laws are preserved verbatim inside `createVenueLatch` (listens-not-polls · `state` is a getter ·
+   night rolls on WHERE the clock lands). New runtime surface on `window.PROCITY.gigs`: **`.byVenue`** →
+   `{ [id]: state }` (B's `venue.js`/`audio.js` read it), per-venue **`stateOf/onOf/openOf/gigOf/coverOf/
+   bandNameOf/paidOf(id)` + `markPaidOf(id)` + `.venueShopIds`**. The R12 single-venue alias
+   (`.state/.on/.venueShopId/.cover/.paid/…` → the **primary** venue = `gigs[0]`'s) is kept **one round** so
+   B's mid-round single-venue callers don't break — it retires next round. Contract pinned in CITY_SPEC §v3.
+   *Tonight* per venue = its night-0 gig (matches A's posters + B's frontage, all night-0-keyed); a
+   dark-tonight venue latches 'quiet' all session, which is true to the seeded week.
+
+2. **Walla + applause** (`interior_mode.js`). While a venue's gig is `on`, the crowd bed
+   `ambience['crowd-walla']` rides the interior TONE layer under the live band bed (you hear the room, not
+   the fridge hum) — it reuses B's existing `playInterior({musicKey,toneKey})`, no new audio API. On the
+   `on → done` edge while the player is inside (crowd's last-song → the clock rolls NIGHT→DAWN), a one-shot
+   `sfx['applause']` sting fires ONCE (`applauded` latch, re-armed per enter). Fail-soft throughout (no-op
+   muted / `?noassets` / pre-gesture). Verified live: `iMusic=gig-pubrock`, `iTone=crowd-walla`, edge fires,
+   0 errors.
+
+3. **Cover charge PER VENUE** (`index.html`). The door seam now keys off the shop being ENTERED
+   (`openOf/coverOf/paidOf/markPaidOf(shopId)`), so a night at two venues is two covers; each latch holds
+   its own runtime paid-stamp. Verified: paid ($10 debited once, re-entry free), broke-knockback, free night.
+
+4. **Debt #1 CLOSED — and the R12 bridge was a LIVE BUG.** E renamed the pub bed `pubrock-live → gig-pubrock`
+   this round (the canonical `gig-<genreKey>`), so F's R12 `GIG_BED`/`gigBedKey` bridge — which rewrote
+   `gig-pubrock → pubrock-live` — was now pointing at a manifest key that **no longer exists**: the band
+   would have mimed in a silent room. DELETED. The room's `audio.gigKey` (already the manifest key) feeds the
+   engine directly, zero mapping. Verified across two genres live: `gig-pubrock` (pub), `gig-covers` (rsl).
+
+5. **Gate hardening — stature into the shared gate** (`interior_scale_check.py`, debt #6). The human-size
+   assert now measures **stature = crown − foot** (feet→crown span, platform-independent), with the
+   world-crown "never clips the ceiling" assert kept as its OWN line. The day a keeper stands on a platform,
+   the gate won't fail a correct figure. Floor figures foot≈0 ⇒ stature≈crown ⇒ backward-compatible.
+   Verified: 24 figs across 6 shops, statures 1.60–1.86 m.
+
+6. **District smokes** (`flags_check.py smoke_gigs`, extended). band 3→**4** · a new **§2b DISTRICT** loop
+   that enters EVERY playing venue and asserts its `gigKey` resolves to a real manifest bar (debt #1 across 3
+   genres), per-venue crowd ≤ its own watchPoints, 4-piece, no-giants-by-stature · **§2c street budget** at
+   the busiest venue block (settled-floor sample) · queue probe (WARN-pending, below) · plus the R12
+   determinism / cover / noassets / flags-off arms. All green.
+
+### ⚠ Cross-lane ask (Lane F → Lane D) — the QUEUE seam. F's smoke is READY; it WARN-skips until D exposes it.
+D owns the outdoor queue (`web/js/citizens/queue.js` `VenueQueue`, charter item, landing this round). B has
+already published the zone: **`window.PROCITY.venuePresentation.queueZoneFor(id) → {x,z,ry,len}`** and
+`.queueZones`. F drives the surge per venue via `citizens.setGig(id, open)` (done). What F's smoke needs to
+verify "queue ≤ cap and drains by done" is a read seam on the sim — **proposed contract:**
+`window.PROCITY.citizens.queueInfo(venueShopId) → { count, cap }` (live count while doors/on; `0` once the
+gig is `done`). Wire the queue's spawn to `queueZoneFor(id)` at `doors` and expose `queueInfo`, and F's smoke
+flips WARN→assert with no further change. (If D picks a different accessor name, tell F and F adjusts the one
+line in `smoke_gigs §2b`.)

+### R13 numbers (measured, seed 20261990 → "Boolarra Heads", 3 venues)
+| thing | number |
+|---|---|
+| district | **3 venues** — 2 playing tonight (pub #116 The Exchange Hotel · rsl #404), 1 dark (reads true) |
+| live beds resolve | pub → `gig-pubrock` · rsl → `gig-covers` (both real manifest bars, debt #1 across genres) |
+| band / crowd | **4-piece** each venue · pub crowd **8/8** watch points · **rsl crowd 12/12** (the cap stress case) |
+| gig-night interior (rig) | **62 draws** · 34k tris (budget ≤350) · `?noassets` still a full 4-piece gig |
+| street @ venue block, night | **99 draws** · 28k tris (budget 300 / 200k) — lit frontage + posters + queue zone in |
+| figure scale | band+crowd stature **1.61–1.81 m**, tallest crown 2.12 m under the 4 m ceiling |
+| cover, per venue | $10 debited once · re-entry free · broke knockback · free night (seed 1234) — all hold |
+| flags-off prime law | fingerprint **0x3fa36874** unchanged · gig layer wholly absent · 0 errors |
+
+**Status:** F's wiring is done, committed, and green. **Waiting on Lane D** for (a) the queue seam
+(`queueInfo`) so the queue smoke goes live, and (b) the band polish (E's instrument GLBs in hand, drummer
+facing/RY_FLIP) — the band already lands at 4, human-sized, 0 errors, so this is polish not a blocker. Once D
+commits: re-run the gates, flip the queue assert, capture the district money shots, tag **v3.0-beta**.

+# PROCITY — Round 14 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-16 · **v3.0-beta shipped** (the district, `?gigs=1`, tag local; qa `--strict` 6/6,
+0 warn — the queue assert went live after D landed). Seed 20261990 = Boolarra Heads: 3 venues,
+14 gigs/week, tonight Screaming Utes @ The Exchange Hotel $10 + The Dead Ringers @ the RSL free.
+Round 14 is **v3.0: THE RELEASE** — identity continuity into the crowd (the one remaining charter
+promise), the money-shot tour, the soaks, docs freeze, and the `v3.0` tag. **No new systems this
+round** — if it isn't continuity, hardening, or documentation, it's v3.1.
+
+## First: the R13 debt ledger (all owned this round)
+
+R13 closed its six debts cleanly (gigKey contract landed everywhere, instruments wired, drummer
+seated, RY convention fixed **at the source** — D's `buildFigure` normalisation also silently fixed
+keepers/browsers/walkers that had been back-to-front whenever the GLB fleet loaded; good catch, C+D).
+What carries:
+
+1. **Alpha alias retirement (B → F, ordered).** F kept the R12 single-venue
+   `window.PROCITY.gigs` shape (`.state/.on/.venueShopId/.cover/.paid`) as a one-round compat
+   alias; that round is over. **B first** removes its fallback readers (`audio.js` alias→clock
+   chain, `venue.update()` bare-string arm — keep the clock fallback, drop the alias hop), **then
+   F** deletes the alias so `byVenue` + the per-venue accessors are the only surface. CITY_SPEC §v3
+   runtime block loses the alias line in the same commit (F).
+2. **Drummer sit hack (D).** The 4th member is a standing rig sunk `SEAT_DROP` behind the kit —
+   reads seated only from the front. `~/Documents/mixamo-fetch/out/` holds **34 clips incl. `sit`**
+   (LANE_D_NOTES wishlist #1 — **check what exists first, never re-download**). Wire the real clip,
+   retire `SEAT_DROP` + the `m.seated` branch.
+3. **Town-wide streetlamp pools (B) — RULING: stays venue-scoped for v3.0.** Town-wide needs
+   always-on `furniture.js` changes and that fights flags-off parity in release week. Venue blocks
+   read fine (F's `venue_night` shot proves it). Document as a v3.1 candidate in LANE_B_NOTES;
+   no code.
+4. **Poster repetition (B judges, E executes).** B: during the tour audit, eyeball the spine poster
+   runs — if the per-gig instanced skins read repetitive, ask E for 1–2 more templates. E: build
+   only on B's ask (R13 law, unchanged).
+
+Closed for good, for the record: depot publish (John OK'd mid-R13; Gate-3 provenance flag cleared,
+`digalot.fyi` serves the 14k instruments + `_hi` originals).
+
+## Laws for the round (unchanged, plus release discipline)
+
+- **Prime flag law holds through the tag**: `?gigs=1` stays **opt-in for v3.0** (Fable's default —
+  John may overrule, see Standing #2). Flags-off boot byte-identical, synthetic golden
+  `0x3fa36874`, gig golden `0x1f636349` — **neither moves this round**. Any diff that would move
+  a golden is out of scope by definition; park it.
+- Deterministic from citySeed · asset-free (`?noassets=1&gigs=1` silent-and-fine) · audio law
+  (gesture-gated, fail-soft) · budgets: gig-night interior ≤350, street ≤300 draws / 200k tris at
+  the busiest venue block · human-sized line on every humanoid shot · **fresh browser contexts**
+  (the stale-module trap bit B in R13 — `cache:'reload'` + hard nav, or the no-store server).
+- **Shared-tree discipline**: commit atomically by explicit pathspec; lanes land concurrently.
+- **Release-round law: no new rng draws on any seeded stream.** Continuity work must ride new
+  sub-streams or consume existing identities — if two runs of R13 code and R14 code disagree on
+  any golden or any R13 smoke, the change is wrong.
+
+## Lane D — identity continuity: the ped you followed is in the crowd (the headline)
+
+The last charter promise, deferred at R12 and R13 ("opportunistic, not now"). Now.
+
+1. **Continuity contract.** The sim already knows who enters a venue (queue `admitOne()` drains +
+   surge occupants). Record a per-venue **tonight roster** of entered identities
+   ({pedIndex, height, …whatever pins "the same person"}), and have `GigCrew.spawn` consume it:
+   crowd slots fill from the roster first, seeded strangers only for the remainder. Design is
+   yours; the acceptance is behavioural: **follow a punter from the queue through the door, walk
+   in behind them, and find them in the crowd — same ped, same height.** Works across exit/re-enter
+   (roster persists for the night, not per interior build).
+2. **Determinism**: the roster is a consequence of seeded sim behaviour; interior crowd identity
+   for a given (seed, night, entry time-segment) must be stable enough for F's smoke — expose
+   `window.PROCITY.citizens.tonightRoster(venueShopId) → [{pedIndex, …}]` (or your preferred name —
+   tell F) so the smoke can assert crowd ⊇ roster ∩ cap without screenshot forensics.
+3. **The sit clip** (debt #2 above). Data task, not rig work — clips bind through the canonical
+   `mixamorig` skeleton like walk/idle.
+4. **Sim soak**: 30+ min equivalent (accelerated segments fine) with gigs on — full week roll,
+   repeated surge/drain/queue cycles at all venues; assert leak geo0/tex0, roster bounded, no
+   identity churn. Numbers in your notes.
+
+Budget note: continuity is bookkeeping, not new rigs — draw/tri delta should be ~0; state it.
+
+## Lane B — alias retirement + the tour audit
+
+1. **Drop the alias readers** (debt #1 — you go first, tell F when landed).
+2. **Bookmark/tour audit**: every bookmark (16 v2 + `venue_night` + `district_posters`) still
+   frames un-letterboxed, 0 errors, with `?gigs=1` on — the district changed the streetscape under
+   some of the old poses. Fix poses, don't touch world code.
+3. **`queue_night` bookmark** — John's queue shot: close framing on the pub door at `doors`/`on`,
+   queue line + marquee + poster in frame, punters facing the door. This is the release hero shot;
+   F scripts it into the tour.
+4. **Poster repetition call** (debt #4): judge, and either "fine" in your notes or a one-line ask
+   to E.
+
+## Lane C — venue audit + docs freeze (light round, by design)
+
+1. **Interior release audit**: one pass over the three venue archetypes against CITY_SPEC §v3 +
+   LANE_C_PUB — watchPoint caps, stage/riser numbers, gigKey resolution, quiet-night variants —
+   and re-run your 60-room soak + drawSweep against D's continuity changes (crowd identities
+   change; geometry must not). Fix only regressions.
+2. **`guitar_amp` placement ruling** (R13 left it "C's call"): D planted it as stage dressing —
+   bless the placement or give D the corrected pose; one line in LANE_C_PUB either way.
+3. **Docs freeze**: LANE_C_PUB.md + LANE_C_AUDIO.md are the durable contracts — final wording
+   pass, mark them v3.0-frozen.
+
+## Lane E — provenance close-out (light round, by design)
+
+1. **`publish.py --verify` drift check** against the live depot post-R13-publish; qa Gate 3 must
+   be green with zero flags for the tag.
+2. **Poster templates** only on B's ask (debt #4).
+3. **Docs freeze**: provenance table + audio/GLB inventories in LANE_E_NOTES current and
+   v3.0-frozen. No new synthesis this round unless John re-flavours a genre (Standing #3, R13 —
+   still open, still names-only).
+
+## Lane A — invariant sweep + CITY_SPEC freeze
+
+1. **District seed sweep**: 400-seed run asserting the district invariants — 2–4 venues, ≥1 pub,
+   never the openLate shop, no band twice in one night town-wide, every poster behind
+   `poleOffset`, per-venue 4–6 nights — plus **one osm town** proving graceful placement (no
+   spine/warehouse district). Promote any invariant not already in `selfcheck.js` into it.
+2. **CITY_SPEC v3 freeze**: you own the spec — final pass over §v3 (venues table, genre map,
+   gigKey contract, gig golden `0x1f636349`, F's runtime block minus the retired alias), then mark
+   the section frozen for the tag. Coordinate the alias-line deletion with F (debt #1).
+
+## Lane F — soaks, the tour, the tag (last)
+
+1. **Delete the alpha alias** once B lands (debt #1) + the CITY_SPEC line (with A).
+2. **Continuity smoke**: extend `smoke_gigs` — queue identities admitted at `doors` appear in the
+   interior crowd via D's roster seam (assert on the seam, not pixels); crowd ⊇ roster ∩ cap;
+   determinism arm re-run.
+3. **Full-week soak**: drive the segment spine through all 7 nights × all venues in one context —
+   every latch fires per `plan.gigs` schedule (dark nights stay quiet), covers stamp per venue per
+   night, walla/applause never double-fire, leak geo0/tex0 across ≥20 enter/exit cycles. Wire it
+   into qa as a non-strict extra (strict stays the 6 gates).
+4. **The money-shot tour**: `tools/qa/tour_shots.py` — scripted capture of the release set in one
+   deterministic run: `rain_verandah` (winmap+rain hero) · `tram_stop` · `venue_night` ·
+   `district_posters` · **`queue_night` (John's shot)** · gig interior (4-piece + instruments +
+   crowd). Contact sheet into `docs/shots/release_v3/`.
+5. **Docs assembly**: README v3 section (what shipped, the flags table, the shots), confirm every
+   lane's freeze landed, LANE_F_NOTES §14 runbook.
+6. **Acceptance + tag**: `qa.sh --strict` 6/6 + continuity smoke + week soak green → tag **v3.0**.
+   Tag and push are separate commands; the push itself waits on John (Standing #1).
+
+## Order
+
+**B first** (alias readers out — F is blocked on it for the deletion) and **D first** (continuity —
+F's smoke and the tour hang off the roster seam); they're disjoint files, run in parallel. A, C, E
+anytime, independent. **F last**, as always. Mid-round handshakes: B→F "readers gone", D→F the
+roster accessor name, C→D the amp ruling.
+
+## Standing
+
+- **v3.1 preview (do not start):** flag-default flip (if John rules it), town-wide lamp pools,
+  tram-gig composition (ride to the gig), wind sway, bench-sit loiter from the same `sit` clip.
+- **John — all three items RESOLVED at kickoff (2026-07-16):**
+  1. **The push — DONE.** John OK'd it; Fable pushed `main` (R13 epoch + these instructions) and
+     the `v3.0-beta` tag to origin at kickoff. Release tags only, as ever — lane-round tags stay
+     local. Push discipline unchanged for lanes: commit local, F/Fable pushes at round end.
+  2. **Flag default at v3.0 — RULED (John concurs):** `?gigs=1` stays **opt-in** for the tag;
+     default-flip is a v3.1 candidate after the soak bakes. No golden re-pin this round.
+  3. **Genre re-flavour — CLOSED:** John: "fine for now." pubrock/grunge/covers are final for
+     v3.0; the docs freeze proceeds on those names.
