 plus the game shell. It runs on my hand-written fixture **and** auto-integrates with Lane A's
 `generatePlan` (which landed mid-session). Everything below was verified live in a browser.
 
+## Round 6 (Fable's ROUND6 → Lane B) — placed the orphaned street props · qa GREEN
+
+Wired the two published-but-unconsumed street GLBs (`street_bin_01`, `bus_shelter_01`) via the
+use-if-ready furniture path (fail-soft; `?noassets` → primitives, 0 network). Files: `furniture.js`,
+`chunks.js` (collider merge).
+- **Bins**: sparse (~1/block, `s += 78 m`, seeded), decoupled from benches — country town not a mall.
+- **Bus shelters on the street graph** (future tram/bus stops): deterministic rule = midpoint of every
+  MAIN edge with `hashEdge(id)%3===0`, road-side footpath, long axis along the edge, open front to road
+  → **1–3/town** (2 in seed 20261990). **Solid collider** (furniture now returns colliders → `chunks`
+  merges into `getColliders`); walk-into-it is blocked. **Exposed `busShelterStops(plan)` → the stop
+  list contract** for whoever builds the vehicle loop.
+- **Perf**: worst view WITH rig-fleet citizens **94k tris / 148 draws** (≤200k / ≤300, big margin);
+  deterministic; all-flags-on composes clean (0 errors). Flagged the 3k-tri `street_bin` GLB to Lane E as
+  a decimation candidate (bounded by the sparse cadence for now). Shot: `docs/shots/laneB/bus_shelter.png`.
+
+## Round 5 (Fable's ROUND5 → Lane B) — v2 window trick, behind `?winmap=1` · qa GREEN (4/4)
+
+- **Parallax interior-mapping window glass** (V2_IDEAS "Vuntra window trick"), behind **`?winmap=1`
+  default-off.** One shared `ShaderMaterial` on the existing window geometry does single-cube interior
+  mapping — each fragment rays into a virtual room box and shades back wall + seeded shelves + side
+  walls + floor/ceiling. **Zero extra geometry, 1 window draw/chunk, per-shop variation via attributes
+  (aTangent/aTint/aSeed), not per-shop materials.** Seeded from `shop.seed`.
+- **§3.5 held:** night → open shop's room glows warm, closed shop's room dark (reuses the closed-facade
+  `uHour/uNight/aHours`). Screenshots: `docs/shots/laneB/winmap_{day,night_open_vs_closed,night_closed}.png`.
+- **v2 prime law held & proven:** flag-OFF byte-identical to v1 (windows `MeshStandardMaterial`, no
+  winmap attrs); flag-ON worst view **122–168 draws** (≤300); shader **100% procedural — 0 fetch delta**
+  vs `?noassets` baseline; 0 console errors; `GOLDEN.hash` untouched. `?winmap` is self-read in
+  buildings.js → **no index.html seam for F** (just a flags-table row). File: `buildings.js`.
+
+## Round 4 (Fable's ROUND4 → Lane B) — done · qa.sh --strict GREEN (4/4)
+
+- **B1 — closed-facade visuals (§3.5, headline).** Closed shops → **dark windows + red CLOSED plate**;
+  open shops (esp. the `openLate` video rental at night) → **lit windows**; door tooltip
+  `🔒 <name> — CLOSED · opens HH:00`. Batched with a per-vertex `aHours` + two shared shaders + one
+  `uHour/uNight` uniform pair, updated once on a `procity:segment` event (lighting.js → buildings.js)
+  — **facade atlas untouched, no per-shop materials, no per-frame poll.** Verified live: **22:00 →
+  only "Video Regal" lit, all others CLOSED**; midday → all open; worst-view **200 draws with
+  citizens** (≤300). Files: `buildings.js`, `lighting.js`, `hud.js`.
+- **B2 — shot harness (gate-6 critical path).** The "letterbox" was **not** a composer bug (proved
+  the composer is correctly sized headless) — the `street_noon`/`arcade`/`warehouse_fringe` **poses
+  jammed the camera into a wall**. Reframed them to look down a street (new `streetViewPose`), added
+  the **3 missing bookmarks** F asked for, pointed `night_neon` at the glowing video shop amid CLOSED
+  neighbours, and added a defensive composer resize. `tools/shots.py` → **10 un-letterboxed shots, 0
+  console errors** (in `docs/shots/laneB_r4/`). File: `dbg.js`.
+- **B3 — furniture GLB upgrade + novelty_record.** furniture.js now use-if-ready-upgrades primitives
+  to depot GLBs (sync check, `?noassets` → 0 network verified). Placed **novelty_record** at every
+  record store + food_cart by stalls/milk bars. **Finding:** the **novelty_record GLB is 26.5k tris**
+  (5× `glb_law`), spiking a busy view to **574k** → it stays on its low-poly primitive; bench (1.9k)
+  + food_cart (5.0k) GLBs are fine and sit on their footprints. **→ Lane E: decimate novelty_record
+  (same as the ped rigs).** File: `furniture.js`.
+
+
+## Round 3 (Fable's ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS → Lane B) — done
+- **Task 1 (draw budget, re-measured WITH citizens).** Radius-2 auto is already the spawn default;
+  no config change needed. Drove the real loop (`chunks.update` + `citizens.update`, pop 140, up to
+  **125 active peds**) along the dense corridors via `window.DBG`: worst continuous-walk view
+  **263 scene / 275 total at MIDDAY**, **275 total at NIGHT** — **≤300 everywhere**, ~25 margin.
+  Peds are a batched impostor layer (~1–2 draws). Documented in LANE_B_NOTES.
+- **Task 2 (`scene.environment`).** Was **null** → Lane D's rig-fleet peds bake their impostor atlas
+  from it (`sim.js`) and would render dark. Set a neutral PMREM'd sky→ground gradient in
+  `lighting.attachRenderer` (before `CitizenSim` constructs; no asset). Verified **set in
+  street / night / interior / after interior-return** (`interior_mode` only swaps `scene.background`).
+- **Task 3 (furniture GLB footprints)** — **standby**: Fable's §3.4 (manifest GLB upgrade +
+  `?noassets`) hasn't landed (furniture.js still primitives); will verify placement/collision when it does.
+- **Task 4 (optional polish)** — deferred (fresh generated-city stills / map.html wiring).
+- Only Lane B file changed this round: `web/js/world/lighting.js` (+ these docs). Committed by exact
+  pathspec (Lanes C/E/F have concurrent uncommitted work in the shared tree — untouched).
+
 ## Session 2 (continuation) — closed the two open Lane-B items Fable flagged
 - **Draw budget now holds with margin.** Facade texture atlas + awning-merge + shell/trim-merge:
   worst dense frustum **393 → 265 scene draws**, worst continuous-walk gameplay view **~261 total**

+## Update 2026-07-14 (round 7) — `?stock=real`: real GODVERSE sleeves in the crates
+
+Round-7 §Lane C: the `stockAdapter` seam built in v1 finally eats. Lane E's GODVERSE stock pack (parody-
+transformed Discogs metadata + cover atlas) feeds record-shop bins + the dig riffle behind `?stock=real`.
+- **Contract handshake** (task 1, unblocked E): confirmed E's index schema as-is in
+  [LANE_C_NOTES.md](docs/LANES/LANE_C_NOTES.md) — `{ items:[{id,title,artist,price,price_band,atlas,uv}] }`,
+  UV origin top-left (C flips V for WebGL), fail-soft, per-type packs.
+- **New `stockpack.js`**: `preloadStockPack`/`getStockPack` (cached) + `makeStockAdapter`. Atlas texture +
+  material are shared/cached (like depot GLBs); sleeves are cover PLANEs sampling the atlas at each item's
+  baked UV → all real sleeves in a room **batch to one draw** (record: 59 draws).
+- **Consumers**: `stock.js binFan` builds real cover planes (else parody canvas); `dig.js` riffles real
+  covers and the pull card shows **title / artist / $price / band**; `interiors.js` wires `opts.stock='real'`
+  through the seam (warn-once + parody fallback if the pack is absent); test page reads `?stock=real`.
+- **Validated (sample 24-pack)**: determinism 0 fails/30, leak-free rooms AND real dig (0/0 over 25 cycles —
+  atlas shared, sleeve geo disposed), draws ≤139 all rooms (record 59), fail-soft on no-pack types (opshop
+  ok → parody), `?dig=1&stock=real` leak-free. Flag-off + `?noassets` untouched (procedural path byte-identical).
+- Built against E's **staged sample** (real index format, synthetic covers); real Discogs covers drop in
+  unchanged when E gets the DB (external — John/Fable). Shot: [stock_real_r7.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/stock_real_r7.jpg).
+
+**→ F**: new smoke for your strict harness — `?stock=real` enter record shop + open dig → assert real
+(non-parody) sleeves; the record bin's real sleeves are cover planes with `userData.isStock` on a shared
+atlas material (drawSweep stays ≤350). Hook + adapter in LANE_C_NOTES.
+
+---
+
+## Update 2026-07-14 (round 6) — C1 interior draw batching (≤350 draws/room is law)
+
+Round-6 §Lane C task 1 (the review debt: book room was 1,245 draws GLB-on). **Diagnosed** the two
+drivers — (a) multi-material stock boxes cost one draw PER face (6×), (b) one mesh per stock item —
+then batched (new `web/js/interiors/batch.js`):
+- **stock.js**: boxes are now single-material; every stock mesh tagged `userData.isStock`.
+- **batch.js** (`batchRoom`, called from interiors.js before the GLB upgrade): two-tier merge —
+  room-level merge of all `isStock` across every fitting (grouped by material, world transforms baked)
+  + per-fitting merge of fixture frames (kept in-group so bins stay raycast targets and the GLB
+  upgrade can hide the fixture). `mergeGeometries` from vendored BufferGeometryUtils.
+- **glb.js**: frame-hide is now by `isStock` tag (not frame-count), so batched fixtures hide and the
+  room-level stock rides on the GLB.
+
+**Result** (drawSweep, all 9 types × 6 archetypes, seed 1990):
+- GLB-off worst **152** (opshop/hall), GLB-on worst **313** (opshop/hall) — book 1,245 → **189**. **≤350 ✓**.
+- Determinism 0 fails / 810 builds · leak-free · dig still riffles batched bins (bins keep frame as hit
+  target; dig regenerates its own sleeves) · worst warm build 38ms (<50) · visually identical.
+- **Sweep now ASSERTS ≤350** (`drawSweep()` in the test page, folded into the soak; `window.PROCITY_C.
+  drawSweep` for F's harness — see LANE_C_NOTES for the hook).
+
+**C2 — map the 3 orphaned fittings** (published R5, unconsumed). In `glb.js`: `glassCase→glass_case`,
+`magazineRack→magazine_rack`, and a NEW `crateStack` primitive (stack of crates) → `crate_stack`.
+Recipe placements: crateStack in record + opshop (back-room dressing), glassCase added to milkbar,
+magazineRack added to pawn (+ moved milkbar's magazineRack window→wall to dodge the door-counter).
+Also **fixed `placeNearCounter`** — it picked one random side and gave up, so counter-zone fittings
+(the glass case) rarely landed; now it tries both sides + offsets, then falls back to a free aisle spot.
+All 3 load + render planted/scaled/facing right (yaw 0). Appearance: glassCase **12/12** (toy/pawn/milkbar),
+magazineRack **12/12** (milkbar/pawn), crateStack ~11/12 (record/opshop). Contact sheet:
+[glb_orphans_r6.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/glb_orphans_r6.jpg). drawSweep still ≤350 with them on (worst 177
+GLB-on). **C3**: dig soak re-run after batching + new fittings — riffle works on batched bins, leak-free.
+
+**Round 6 complete for Lane C**: C1 (batching, `35981ad`) + C2/C3 (orphans + dig re-verify) committed.
+Draw law satisfied (≤313 was the tightest; ≤177 after C2), determinism/leak/dig all green, qa strict green.
+
+---
+
+## Update 2026-07-14 (round 5) — C1 v1.1 re-map (record_crate + counter_till) · **F can tag v1.1**
+
+Round-5 §Lane C task 1 (the v1.1 gate). Lane E's re-exports mapped + validated in `glb.js`:
+- `record_crate` fixed → record bins/crates upgrade to plastic crates with the procedural sleeves.
+- `counter → 'counter_till'` (the real ~1.6 m counter-with-till). Keeper-stand pose unaffected.
+- **Double-till resolved**: cash_register attach dropped when counter_till is live (it has its own till);
+  falls back on the primitive; milkshake_mixer stays on the milk-bar bench (lifted to the GLB height).
+- Sweep + soak (GLB on): `0 throws / 0 path / 0 det / leak-free / worst 10.4ms`; **0 double tills**.
+  Primitive path unchanged (glb.js-only edit). Contact sheet: [glb_v1_1_r5.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/glb_v1_1_r5.jpg).
+- Report + decision detail: [LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md](docs/LANES/LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md); F note in
+  [LANE_C_NOTES.md](docs/LANES/LANE_C_NOTES.md). **→ F: C1 committed, v1.1 can be tagged.**
+
+**C2 — `?dig=1` crate-riffle (v2, behind flag).** Ported 90sDJsim `dig.js` → `web/js/interiors/dig.js`:
+walk to a record bin, press **E**, riffle its sleeves (scroll/drag), click the front to pull, **BUY IT**
+(STUBBED — toast + remove; getCash constant; real economy is round 6+). Riffle items are seeded per bin
+via the `stockAdapter(shop,'sleeve')` seam (procedural fallback now — parody 90s-AU sleeves). Own scene +
+camera, procedural fwip/thunk audio, **leak-free** (per-open resources freed on close → dig soak 20×
+`leakGeo 0 / leakTex 0`). Flag-off (`?dig=0`) is **byte-identical** — `buildInterior` is untouched; the dig
+is wired only in the test page (F owns the shell seam — hook documented in LANE_C_NOTES §"input/mode hook").
+Shot: [dig_riffle_r5.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/dig_riffle_r5.jpg).
+
+**C3 — interior re-measure after Lane E's bake (`c522464`).** E baked the 6 heavy hero props to ≤8k tris.
+Re-measured every interior (cache-busted to bypass the dev browser's stale HTTP cache): **record 43.6k**
+(the C3 target, ~273k pre-bake), **milkbar 38.9k** (was the flagged 468k → over-budget flag CLOSED), all
+rooms ≤107k tris. `book` is the draw-call outlier (1,245 draws from ~9 bookshelf GLBs + primitive spines) —
+tris fine, interiors render one-at-a-time so gate 3 unaffected; instancing spines is the future lever.
+Full table in [LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md](docs/LANES/LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md §C3).
+
+**Round 5 complete for Lane C**: C1 (v1.1 re-map) + C2 (`?dig=1`) + C3 (re-measure) all committed.
+
+---
+
+## Update 2026-07-14 (round 4) — hero props into rooms
+
+Round-4 task (ROUND4_INSTRUCTIONS §Lane C): map the 4 new hero props + cash_register (manifest now 14
+fittings), sweep/soak with them on, screenshot each, delete the stale `_local_glb/`, measure a hero
+room. **All done.** Full report for Lane E: [LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md](docs/LANES/LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md);
+contact sheet [docs/shots/laneC/glb_heroprops_r4.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/glb_heroprops_r4.jpg).
+
+- **New mappings** (`glb.js`): `arcade_cabinet`→new `arcadeCabinet` primitive (video focal prop),
+  `listening_booth`→`listeningCorner` (record), `drinks_fridge`→`fridge` (milkbar). All load, `glb_law`
+  compliant, yaw 0 (no correction). A new **counter-top attach** (`attachCounterTop`) puts `cash_register`
+  on every counter's till slot (hides the primitive till) and `milkshake_mixer` on the milk-bar benchtop —
+  the counter primitive + keeper stand are untouched.
+- **Focal-prop reliability fix**: the door-counter path loop was pulling priority-4 focal props (arcade
+  appeared in only 5/24 video rooms). Raised the 3 focal props to priority 6 + placed-first →
+  **24/24 appearance**, still 0 carves / 0 path-fails.
+- **Validation**: primitive sweep 810 builds `{throws 0, pathFail 0, detFail 0}`; GLB-on soak
+  `{throws 0, path 0, det 0, leakGeo 0, leakTex 0, worst 7.3ms}`; all 5 new props confirmed in-room.
+- **Room tris measured** (task 4): milk-bar GLB-on ≈ **468k tris** (over budget) driven by `drinks_fridge`
+  (77k) + `milkshake_mixer` (73k) — **reported to Lane E** as the #1 bake-pass target (not fixed, per
+  integrator decision #2; interiors render one-at-a-time so gate 3 / the street budget is unaffected).
+- **Cleanup**: deleted `web/assets/_local_glb/` (R3 validation copy); test page now loads GLBs via the
+  live `depot:` path (`?localdepot=1` still works for offline). `localBase` hook kept in `glb.js`.
+- **Standby (C task 5)**: when Lane E re-exports `record_crate` (broken) + a ~2 m counter-with-till, I
+  re-map both. Not landed at commit time.
+
+---
+
+## Update 2026-07-14 (round 3) — GLB hero-prop visual validation
+
+Round-3 task (ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS §Lane C): flip `useGLB` on and validate Lane E's fitting GLBs in real
+rooms. Done — full report for Lane E in [docs/LANES/LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md](docs/LANES/LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md).
+
+**Verdict:** 5 of 9 fitting GLBs are good and now live behind `useGLB` (wire_shelf, clothes_rack,
+bookshelf, cube_shelf_wide, work_table); 2 fall back to primitive with a report filed
+(`record_crate` **broken — won't load**; `counter` **too long/no till** → primitive keeps the till +
+keeper stand). record bins stay primitive until Lane E re-exports the crate.
+
+**Soak with `useGLB` on** (50 rooms, all types): `throws 0 · pathFail 0 · determinismFail 0 · leakGeo 0 ·
+leakTex 0 · worst build 10.5ms · 256 upgrades applied` — GLB resources dispose leak-free on room exit.
+
+**glb.js changes (my file):**
+- `manifest.localBase` — load GLBs from a served local dir for offline validation (production still uses
+  `depot:<file>`; forward-compatible with Lane E's local-depot mode).
+- **Real-metre scale, clamped** to the reserved footprint (was fit-to-width, which squashed tall props);
+  matches `glb_law` (metres). Per-kind **yaw correction** (`KIND_TO_YAW`) for the Z-major assets
+  (bookshelf/cube/work_table need +90°) per the manifest `facing` convention ("Lane B/C rotate directional props").
+- `room.glbReady` (interiors.js) — a promise that resolves when GLB swaps settle, so callers can await
+  before screenshot/leak-check (Lane F can use it in the §3.4 wiring).
+- Test page (`interior_test.html`) gains a **GLB props** toggle + a `GLB props: N upgraded` HUD line.
+  Local validation needs the GLBs copied in: `cp pipeline/_normalized/procity_fit_*.glb web/assets/_local_glb/`
+  (untracked; real GLBs live on the depot). Screenshot grid: [docs/shots/laneC/glb_validation_grid.jpg](docs/shots/laneC/glb_validation_grid.jpg).

 # PROCITY-D — progress (Lane D · Citizens)
 
+## Round 7 (the flip) — MERGE VALIDATED, GO given to F, defaults + escape hatch ready. qa GREEN.
+
+Validated Lane E's ped-merge (the gate my R6 memo named) and handed F the **GO** for the roster flip.
+Full go/no-go numbers + F's two-line wiring at the top of `LANE_D_NOTES.md`.
+
+- **Merge validated (D1)**: all 19 peds now **1 mesh / 1 material** (was 8/2) → ~1 draw/near-rig
+  (fleet 116→24 at the cap); bind+animate/no-T-pose, silhouettes+atlas materials crisp (hi-vis/suit/
+  kid), impostor bake clean, identity variety + determinism preserved. GPU memory dropped too.
+- **The flip numbers (full density, perChunk 16)**: worst street view **241 draws ≤300** (was 356
+  unmerged), **65,899 tris ≤200k**, 17 near-rigs; 30-chunk soak (726 builds/disposes) **leak-free, 0
+  GPU delta**, heap stable. → **GO.**
+- **Full-density defaults (D2)**: `enableStream` default flipped 8→**16** (the merge affords it);
+  near-cap stays 24 (now 24 draws not 168).
+- **Post-flip + escape hatch (D3)**: test page + shell now default to stream; **`?roster=v1` restores
+  the fixed roster** (verified: streamMode false, determinism ✓). No-flag boot → streamMode true,
+  determinism ✓. F's `web/index.html` flip wiring (invert to default-on + `?roster=v1` escape)
+  documented; the in-shell no-flag-URL boot completes when F lands F1 (roster proven running in-shell
+  at the shipping default via the in-shell soak above).
+
+Only `web/js/citizens/sim.js` (perChunk default) + `web/citizens_test.html` (default-on + escape
+hatch) changed. Committed atomically.
+
+---
+
+## Round 6 (harden streamed roster toward default-on) — DONE. qa GREEN. Flag still default-off.
+
+Hardened `?roster=stream` and wrote the **default-on readiness memo** (top of `LANE_D_NOTES.md`) so
+Fable + F can decide the R7 flip on evidence. In-shell (real town), stream runtime-enabled:
+
+- **Soak green**: 242 chunk builds/disposes over 3 street-graph walks → **0 GPU geom/tex delta**; 16
+  shop enter/exit → 0 delta; heap oscillates 50→77→54 MB (GC recovers, no leak); 188 chunk-keyed
+  identities re-derive from seed; 0 console errors; flag-off byte-identical (citizen-0 = R4 golden).
+- **Hours-aware density (new)**: added `setNightLivelyChunks` + a night 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.
+- **Composition with `?dig=1`**: roster is street-tier, fully inert while interior/dig is open (frame
+  loop street-branch-only); enter/exit record shops leak-free with stream on. No shared state with any
+  v2 flag → all-on combo safe.
+- **Perf/budget — the one gap**: each decimated ped = 8 sub-meshes / 2 materials = ~7 draws/near-rig, so
+  full-density stream (`perChunk 16`) hits **356 draws** (over the 300 street budget). Set the default to
+  `perChunk 8` (**291 draws, ≤300, budget-safe today**) and documented the clean unlock — merge ped
+  sub-meshes by material (8→2 → ~2 draws/rig → perChunk 16 fits at ~260) — as the single thing gating
+  full-density default-on in R7 (F1-safe: v1 spawn view has ~0 near-rigs).
+
+Only `web/js/citizens/sim.js` (night floor + default) + `web/citizens_test.html` (default perChunk)
+changed. Committed atomically; flag default-off; v1 path untouched.
+
+---
+
+## Round 5 (v2 foundations) — DONE. Chunk-streamed roster behind `?roster=stream`. qa GREEN.
+
+Implemented the R3 design note (was design-only): the chunk-streamed roster, default-off, v1-identical
+when off. Full numbers + Lane F wiring in `docs/LANES/LANE_D_NOTES.md` (top).
+
+- **Chunk-local identity** keyed `(seed, chunkKey, i)` → same seed + chunk → same residents regardless
+  of town size / visit order; **windowed spawn/despawn** hook-driven (Lane B's `onChunkBuilt`/
+  `onChunkDisposed`, sim auto-detects) with a camera-poll fallback; **global near-cap** across live
+  chunks; **owner-chunk despawn** (no cross-boundary re-keying); v1 path untouched (`chunkStream` opt-in).
+- **Proven** on a big 9×9 fixture grid: (a) constant far-field density — ~58–129 citizens within 70m
+  at spawn AND 150m out, vs v1's uniform ~12–15 (fixed roster spread thin); (b) deterministic — 507
+  chunk-keyed identities re-derive from seed; (c) leak-free — 2 full grid walks (~380 chunk cycles) →
+  **0 geom/tex delta**, pool capped 30, chunks bounded 25; (d) budget — same near-cap + 1 impostor
+  draw as v1, 2.31 ms/frame; (e) **flag-off byte-identical** — shell citizen-0 signature exactly
+  matches the R4 golden. Hours-aware density included (per-chunk tod thinning).
+- Only `web/js/citizens/sim.js` + `web/citizens_test.html` (bigger fixture + stream toggle/HUD/
+  determinism) changed. Flag + F call-site documented in LANE_D_NOTES; F wires `web/index.html`.
+  Evidence: `docs/shots/laneD/r5_stream_tiers.jpg`.
+

+
+## Round 4 (v1-tag round) — DONE. qa.sh --strict GREEN.
+
+All three Lane-D R4 tasks complete; details + numbers in `docs/LANES/LANE_D_NOTES.md` (top).
+
+- **D1 — in-shell verify** ✅ In the real game (`web/index.html`): peds + keepers upgrade

+  baseline, Δ0); determinism holds across reload; `?noassets=1` fully placeholder, zero ped fetches.

+  materials on the canvas path). Reworked it to a standard `toneMapped:true` material that outputs
+  linear and uses three's own tone-map/colorspace chunks → tone-maps **identically to the near rigs
+  on both paths**. Verified near+mid match at noon and correct night render in-shell
+  (`docs/shots/laneD/r4_shell_*.jpg`). `citizens.setExposure()` is now a harmless no-op (exposure is

+### Round 3 — support round (2026-07-14, PROCITY-D) — all 3 tasks done
+Per `docs/LANES/ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS.md` §Lane D. Committed Lane D landed as `9eb1acc` first; then:
+
+1. **Keeper GLB-rig upgrade + leak-free dispose (task 1).** Gated on F's §3.4 (keepers are still
+   placeholder-only in the shell — F builds `KeeperManager` with no `fleet`). Verified **my side** of
+   the contract in `citizens_test.html`: a fleet-backed keeper spawns as a **rig**, and 15 enter/exit
+   spawn→greet→`remove()` cycles leave `renderer.info.memory` **exactly at baseline** (geo 140→140,
+   tex 175→175) → leak-free. Enablement for F is one arg (`fleet`); documented in LANE_D_NOTES.
+2. **`ImpostorLayer.setExposure()` wired to day/night (task 2).** Added a clean `CitizenSim.setExposure(e)`
+   passthrough (sim.js) that also **survives the placeholder→rig atlas re-bake** (stored + re-applied).
+   Confirmed the shell *does* animate `renderer.toneMappingExposure` per segment (`lighting.js`), so
+   this is a real fix, not defensive. Verified: uniform tracks 0.55↔2.3 and persists across the upgrade.
+   Left F the exact one-line call site (`index.html:225`, after `setTimeOfDay`) in LANE_D_NOTES — it's
+   an F-owned seam edit, so I documented rather than edited it.
+3. **Chunk-streamed roster design note (task 3).** Written in LANE_D_NOTES ("Chunk-streamed roster —
+   v1.5 design note"): chunk-local identity keying, poll- vs hook-driven windowing (with the `chunks.js`
+   reality), global near-cap across live chunks, ownership/hand-off, budget, and an opt-in migration that
+   leaves v1 untouched. **Design only, no implementation** as instructed.
+
+Post-edit re-verify: no console errors, determinism ✓ (200 match seed), near capped 24, mixer 0.3 ms.
+Round-3 code touches **only sim.js** (my file); the rest is docs. No sibling files edited.

+## Round 7 (Fable) — the two feeders (ped merge + stock pack)
+
+- **E1 — ped sub-mesh merge: DONE + committed** (`447188a`, ref `lane-e/round7-peds`). All 19 rigs
+  merged to **ONE draw each** (1 prim + 1 atlased 1024 material) via `pipeline/merge_ped.py` (Blender
+  join → UV-pack → EMIT-bake all materials into one atlas). Skinning + 65-joint skeleton preserved,
+  `walk`/`idle` untouched. **Fleet 92→19 draws; near-cap 116→24 (79% cut).** Verified in the vendored
+  GLTFLoader (all load as SkinnedMesh + bind walk; man_suit poses byte-identical to original; 3-mat
+  man_athletic atlas correct). Handed to **Lane D (D1)** for full validation + full-density numbers →
+  gates F's roster flip. qa `--strict` GREEN 5/5.
+- **E2 — GODVERSE stock pack: pipeline BUILT + PROVEN, real pack blocked on 2 external deps.**
+  `pipeline/build_stock_pack.py` = recordgod → curate → **parody-transform (deterministic, zero
+  real-trademark leakage: "Dark Side of the Moon"/"Pink Floyd" → "Quiet Milk Bar"/"The Galahs")** →
+  atlas WebPs + JSON index. Proven end-to-end with `--sample 24`; **sample pack staged** to
+  `web/assets/models/` so Lane C wires `?stock=real` against the real index format now. **Real 200-400
+  pack awaits (1) `GODVERSE_DSN` (dealgod Postgres creds — flagged to Fable/John) and (2) C's schema
+  confirmation** (proposed in LANE_E_NOTES). One command (`--from-db --count 300`) once they land.
+- **E3 — on-call** (B rain-streak/puddle texture): none requested. No fal spend (balance ~$21.36).
+
+## Round 6 (Fable) — non-destructive pipeline + on-call
+
+- **E1 — publish.py non-destructive + provenance-drift gate: DONE + committed.**
+  - `publish.py` now **merges** into `_published.json` (read existing → union → sorted write),
+    never replaces — fixes the R5 `--only` clobber (record dropped 27→1). **Proven:** a real no-op
+    re-publish of `record_crate` kept the record at **27 (was 27)**, not 1.
+  - Post-publish + a new `--verify` mode **drift-check** the record against the live depot
+    (`/api/list` filtered to `procity_*`) and warn on either direction. `--verify` confirms 27 == 27.
+  - `validate_manifest.py` gains a **provenance-drift gate**: every manifest `procity_*` GLB must be
+    in `_published.json`, else QA fails. **Proven:** simulating the R5 clobber (record→1) makes the
+    validator exit 1 with per-file drift errors; restored → green. So the clobber class fails loudly.
+  - **Record verified**: `_published.json` (27) is byte-exact vs the live depot — Fable's R5
+    regeneration was correct, no fix needed.
+  - `qa.sh --strict` GREEN (5 gates incl. F1's new v2-flags harness).
+- **On-call for B/C** (task 3): available for bus_shelter/bin scale-origin tweaks (B) and
+  glass_case/magazine_rack in-room issues (C). Broken-prop fal re-gen pre-authorized ≤2 attempts
+  (decision #5) — none needed yet. No speculative generation.
+
+## Round 5 (Fable) — hero-prop bake + fal fallbacks + depot growth
+
+- **E1 — hero-prop bake-to-lowpoly: DONE + committed.** New `pipeline/bake_lowpoly.py` (Blender
+  headless): voxel-remesh → decimate → **Cycles base-colour bake** onto fresh UVs (R3's lesson:
+  simplify-only floors on shell-soup; the re-bake is the point). All **6 heavy TRELLIS props ≤8k
+  tris** (drinks_fridge 77k→8k, milkshake_mixer 73k→8k, listening_booth 54k→8k, counter_till
+  32k→8k, novelty_record 26k→8k, arcade_cabinet 25k→8k). **Fleet 288k→48k tris, 18M→5.2M.** Each
+  eyeballed (`docs/shots/laneE/props_baked.png` — fridge needed a coarser voxel re-bake, rest clean)
+  + verified loading in the vendored GLTFLoader. Re-published; `validate --depot` 0 err. Originals
+  gitignored in `pipeline/.props_orig/`. → Lane C re-measures the record interior (was ~273k).
+- **E3 — fal.ai fallbacks: DONE.** glass_case + bus_shelter + magazine_rack via fal Hunyuan3D v2
+  (`pipeline/gen_props_fal.py`, key from MODELBEAST settings). Frosted/opaque concepts (`flux_local`)
+  gave the reconstructor a surface — all 3 succeeded where TRELLIS failed. Baked to ≤8k (EMIT albedo
+  bake — Hunyuan materials need base-colour→emission or DIFFUSE bakes near-black), verified loading,
+  published, `validate --depot` 0 err. **Total fal spend ~$0.64** (glass 1 att, bus 2 att, mag 1
+  att × ~$0.16), well under the <$1 estimate; guardrail held. Costs logged in AUDIT R5. Last two
+  primitive-only fittings (glass_case, magazine_rack) retired; new street `bus_shelter`. Manifest
+  now 17 fittings + 9 furniture (26 GLBs). Contact sheet `docs/shots/laneE/props_fal.png`.
+- **E2 — depot growth: DONE (light, consumer-driven).** The v2 features are procedural (dig uses
+  generated sleeves, B's window shader + D's roster need no GLBs), so per Fable "no unconsumed
+  entries" I added two clear-consumer props: `street/bin` (council-bin → Lane B) + `fit/crate_stack`
+  (milk-crate-stack → Lane C floor piles/dig). Both 3k tris, re-normalized + published, verified
+  loading, `validate --depot` 0 err. Also **resolved Lane B's B3 ask** — novelty_record 26.5k→8k
+  via the E1 bake. Manifest now **18 fittings + 10 furniture (28 GLBs)**. Further growth on request.
+
+## Round 4 (Fable) — ped decimation (gate-3 critical path) + asset fixes
+
+- **E1 — ped decimation: DONE + committed** (`518678d`, ref `lane-e/round4-peds`). The 19 ped rigs
+  in `web/models/peds/` were **924k tris total** (31k–56k each) — the gate-3 blocker. Decimated to
+  **≤3k each** (1564–2805; fleet **924k→46.5k**, ~2.45k avg) via `gltf-transform weld → simplify
+  --ratio 0.05 --error 0.12` (meshoptimizer — works on these manifold skinned meshes, unlike R3
+  TRELLIS shell-soup). **Skinning + skeleton fully preserved** (65 joints intact, `walk`/`idle`
+  untouched); contact sheet `docs/shots/laneE/peds_decimated.png` clean at street distance. Originals
+  gitignored in `pipeline/.peds_orig/`; per-ped in `pipeline/_peds_decim.json`. → **Lane D validates
+  (D2)** then **Lane F re-measures gate 3** (~24-cap × ≤3k ≈ ≤67k fleet contribution).
+- **E2a — `record_crate` FIXED, verified + published.** Lane C's `undefined 'uri'` crash was a
+  **sourceless texture** (packed AO/roughness map failed WebP encode; material's metallicRoughness+
+  occlusion slots pointed at it). New tool `pipeline/fix_glb_textures.py` strips those slots (three.js
+  loads textures lazily → no crash). **Verified it loads in the real vendored `GLTFLoader`** (meshes=1,
+  tris=5000). **Re-published to the depot** (the fixed version is live, tex refs all-sourced).
+- **E2b — counter-with-till (~2 m): LIVE.** New `counter_till` fitting
+  (`procity_fit_counter_till_01.glb`, **1.61 × 0.64 m, 1.15 m tall**, 32k tris) — timber counter +
+  cabinet doors + period till. Generated on-device (`flux_local` concept → `trellis_mac`, 3 concept
+  rolls to land the ~2:1 aspect), normalized to house law, **verified loads in `GLTFLoader`**, and
+  **published**. Non-destructive (keeps the balcao long-counter as `counter`); manifest
+  `fittingAliases.counter` → `counter_till`; Lane C re-maps kind `counter` → `counter_till` in `glb.js`.
+- **Publish: DONE** (John approved). Both re-exports live; **manifest `validate --depot` GREEN
+  (0 err, 23 GLBs live)**. `publish.py` gained an `--only <name>` filter + tailnet-passwordless
+  detection (`GOD3_DEPOT=http://100.94.195.115:8788`, decision #4).
+- **Not doing** (per Fable decisions): fal.ai spend (glass-case/bus-shelter parked); hero-prop
+  bake-to-lowpoly.
+
+## Round 3 (Fable) — hero props on MODELBEAST + local-depot mode
+
+- **Hero props, free & on-device** (`pipeline/gen_props.py`): `flux_local` concept image → `trellis_mac`
+  image→GLB (1024_cascade) → `normalize.py` → thumbs → manifest. **5 generated + kept**
+  (listening_booth, drinks_fridge, arcade_cabinet, milkshake_mixer, novelty_record — contact sheet
+  `docs/shots/laneE/props_gen_local.png`), **cash_register reused** from the depot
+  (`vintage-cash-register.glb`). 3 didn't make it: **magazine_rack** → in-engine primitive (112k-tri
+  wire, the thin-wire gotcha); **glass_case + bus_shelter** → **fal.ai fallback list** (TRELLIS can't
+  do transparent glass; sf3d gives a featureless blob) — gated on John, ≤$2.70, both have primitive
+  fallbacks. Every kept thumbnail eyeballed; no legible branding (see AUDIT provenance).
+- **Local-depot mode** (`core/loaders.js` `?localdepot=1` + `pipeline/stage_local_depot.py`): resolves
+  `depot:<file>` to `web/assets/models/` served by the dev server, so Lanes B/C/F validate GLB loading
+  **with no network / before publish**. Verified live in-browser (loads a `depot:` GLB, CDN path intact).
+- **Manifest**: 14 fittings + 8 furniture (5 hero + cash_register added); `validate_manifest.py`
+  green (0 err). Provenance recorded in `AUDIT.md` (props are 100% synthetic/local — cleanest in the set).
+- **Known tradeoff**: TRELLIS meshes are dense shell-soup — decimate floors 25–77k tris (heavier than
+  the ≤5k library law). Accepted for focal/optional/LOD-able props; texture-bake-to-lowpoly is a follow-up.
+- **Published (self-serve, John's go 2026-07-14)**: the 5 prop GLBs + thumbs pushed to the depot via
+  the passwordless tailnet path (decision #4); all 22 GLBs re-verified live. **`qa.sh --strict` GREEN**
+  (4/4 gates; manifest validator 0 err / 0 warn with the props live). Provenance was recorded first.
+- **Not committed**: this round is **held for Fable review** (per John) — all Lane E round-3 changes are
+  in the working tree, uncommitted. GLB binaries stay git-ignored/staged; the depot has them.

-## TL;DR
+## Round 7 (the flip round → v2.0-beta) — IN PROGRESS
+
+Critical path resolved: E1 ped-merge (`447188a`), E2 stock pack (`0c12dac`), **D's GO** (`43edabf`),
+C1 `?stock=real` (`3724a65`) all landed. F executes flip → strict harness → tag.
+
+| task | status |
+|---|---|
+| **F1 — roster flip (prime-law amendment)** | ✅ **DONE + verified.** `index.html`: streamed roster is now the **default** (`chunkStream:{radius:2}` per D's spec); `?roster=v1` = escape hatch (fixed roster); `?roster=stream` still accepted (no-op). Hours-aware `setNightLivelyChunks` on the open-late block. **Same commit** re-pins the flags-off baseline: **old (163 draws/19k tris, roster-off) → new (164 draws/~66k tris, roster-on)** — draws barely move (E1's merge = ~1 draw/rig, the whole point), tris = the crowd (D worst-view 65,899; drift-WARN now draws-only, tris under the hard cap). **Plan goldens UNCHANGED (`0x3fa36874`).** Also fixed the harness's roster probe (was reading a nonexistent prop → blind) + flipped the assertion to require streamMode ON + added an escape-hatch check. Verified: default boot streamMode:true (146–150 active), `?roster=v1` streamMode:false (96), both render, 0 errors, ≤300 draws, harness GREEN. |
+| **F2 — harness to strict + new-flag smokes** | ✅ **DONE + verified.** `qa.sh` flags gate `warn_gate → run_gate` — the harness (flags-off regression + 4 existing flags + all-on combo) is now **STRICT** (a FAIL fails qa). Wired **`?stock=real`** (F owned the seam): shell preloads the record pack + passes `stockReal`; `interior_mode` builds `makeStockAdapter(getStockPack(shop.type))` and passes it to **both** `buildInterior` (static crate sleeves) and `dig.open` (riffle) — fail-soft to parody if the pack's absent. Added `stock=real` + `weather=1` smokes at **warn-level** (decision #4). Verified: crates show **real GODVERSE covers** (smoke: 7 real atlas sleeve meshes, non-parody batched); weather auto-skips (Lane B not landed); `qa.sh --strict` GREEN (5 gates). |
+| **F3 — tag v2.0-beta** | ✅ **TAGGED** (no-hostage rule). Criteria met: roster default-on + escape hatch ✓, harness strict+green ✓, `?stock=real` real sleeves ✓, qa strict green ✓. |
+| **⚠ schedule-harness flag** | **B (`?weather=1`) and A (osm parity + 2nd town) did NOT land round-7** — no commits, tree clean. Both are additive (not headline keys); tagged v2.0-beta without them per the no-hostage rule. Weather smoke is in the harness ready to graduate the moment B ships. Flagging for Fable: two lanes slipped this round. |
+
+---
+
+## Round 6 (finish v2 wiring + pay review debts → v2.0-alpha) — DONE ✅ (v2.0-alpha tagged)
+
+Sequencing (Fable): **F1 enforcement harness lands FIRST** (protects the round), then F re-smokes as
+lanes land, adds C's ≤350-draw interior assertion when C1 lands, extends the determinism gate if A's
+`?plansrc` lands, and tags `v2.0-alpha` when all-green (3 flags acceptable if A no-shows).
+
+| task | status |
+|---|---|
+| **F1 enforcement harness** | ✅ **DONE + wired.** `tools/flags_check.py` (self-contained server, headless, ~90s): **flags-off regression** (golden hash `0x3fa36874` + subsystems-inactive + ≤300/≤200k budget + ±40% snapshot + 0 errors) · **per-flag smokes** (winmap/dig/roster: cross ≥2 chunks + enter interior; dig opens+closes a riffle) · **all-on combo** (flag-composition law, decision #4). Wired into `qa.sh` as a **warn-level gate** (`--no-flags` skips fast; auto-skips without the Playwright venv). Current: **all smokes GREEN**, regression clean. |
+| **F2 plansrc** | ✅ **DONE + verified.** A landed the full seam (`52eb109`). Wired the shell bootstrap (`index.html`, F-owned): `?plansrc=osm` → `citygen.generatePlanFor(seed,'osm')` → real-data town **"Melbourne", 95 shops** (synthetic default = "Boolarra Heads" unchanged). Pinned **both goldens** in `scaffold_check.mjs`: synthetic `0x3fa36874`, **osm `0x34cfdec0`** (deterministic, 2 runs). Harness auto-detects plansrc + smokes it (enters OSM shop "Mui Karaoke Rooms") + includes it in the all-on combo. Also restored `binUnderAim`'s **nearest-bin fallback** (matches C's test page) so E riffles a nearby bin without perfect aim / before the bin GLB finishes loading. Synthetic golden frozen (selfcheck 1362/1362). |
+| **≤350 interior draw assertion** | ✅ **DONE.** C1 batching landed (`35981ad`). Added an interior draw-budget sweep to `flags_check.py` (enter all 9 shop types, assert ≤350 draws/room, dig on so it also confirms batching kept riffling). **Caught a real bug in my own `interior_mode.js`**: it rendered the interior without `renderer.info.reset()` while `autoReset=false`, so draws *accumulated* per frame (inflated 864/644/…). Fixed (reset per interior frame, both dig + walk render). True per-frame result: **all 9 room types ≤350 (worst dept 96)** — C's batching verified. |
+| **F3 tag `v2.0-alpha`** | ⏳ all landed flags smoke-green + regression green + qa strict green → tag (3 flags OK if A no-shows). |
+
+Base: v1.1 (`3a831fe`), HEAD `40fefd9`. `qa.sh --strict` GREEN.

+Full tracking in [`LANE_F_NOTES §10`](docs/LANES/LANE_F_NOTES.md).
+
+| task | status |
+|---|---|
+| **fal un-park check** | ✅ Verified already done — `039c179` un-parked fal in Lane E's brief (decision #4 + Lane E task 3: glass-case + bus-shelter + optional magazine-rack, ≤2 attempts, costs logged in AUDIT.md). **Nothing for F to change.** |
+| **archive R3/R4 instruction claims** (F4) | ✅ Added "SUPERSEDED by R5" banner to `ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS.md` + `ROUND4_INSTRUCTIONS.md`. |
+| **v2 flags table** (F4) | ✅ Scaffolded in LANE_F_NOTES §10 (`?plansrc=osm` A, `?winmap=1` B, `?dig=1` C, `?roster=stream` D) — all pending owning-lane specs. |

Verified: depot serves baked props (counter_till 7999, drinks_fridge 8000, listening_booth 7986 tris ≤8k), C's `glb.js` maps them, record/opshop interiors render the **counter_till GLB** with keeper stand pose working + no double till, bins upgraded. Re-captured the 2 interior tour shots (fresh chromium → baked props). qa GREEN. `git tag v1.1` (local). |
+| **F2 wire `?dig=1`** | ✅ **DONE + verified.** C shipped `dig.js` + the flag but left the in-game input/mode hook to F (LANE_C_NOTES §C2). Wired the consumer pattern into `interior_mode.js` (F-owned): aim at a `userData.kind==='bin'` fitting + press **E** → `createDig`/`dig.open` (per-bin seed via `binSeed(shop.seed,pos)`); the dig owns the frame (render `dig.scene`, no interior walk); WALK OUT / Esc closes → back to the room. Shell seam (`index.html`): `?dig=1` → `dig:` opt; `procity:digOpen` releases pointer-lock (riffle is cursor-driven); unlock→leaveShop guard reads `interiorMode.digActive` so opening a bin ≠ leaving. **Fresh-chromium smoke:** E opens riffle (seeded sleeves + prices render), WALK OUT closes to interior, **leak-free** (steady-state geo/tex flat over 3 cycles), **0 console errors**. Flag off ⇒ no listener/no dig ⇒ byte-identical to v1. |
+| **F2 — other v2 seams** | B `?winmap` / D `?roster=stream` are self-contained (no shell input hook needed); smoked clean (boot, 0 errors, budget OK). A `?plansrc` not taken. |
+| **F3 v2 QA harness** | ⏳ determinism gate (first-interior-hash per seed) · flags-off regression check (v2-prime-law enforcement) · v2 smoke → qa.sh warn-gate. Build as flags land. |
+
+Base state: v1.0 (`2698b40`), `qa.sh --strict` GREEN 4/4, tree clean.
+
+---
+
+## Round 4 (v1-tag round) — DONE ✅ (all 6 gates green; v1.0 tagged)
+
+Executed Fable's `ROUND4_INSTRUCTIONS.md` Lane F tasks. All lanes committed R4; a 6-auditor
+adversarial v1-readiness workflow returned **GO**; `v1.0` tagged locally on the F finalization commit.
+
+| task | status |
+|---|---|
+| **F1 setExposure** | ✅ Wired (`9416d0a`) **then correctly removed** (`aad9baa`): D3 (`a5e4b64`) made the impostor `toneMapped:true`, so `citizens.setExposure()` became a no-op tone-mapped globally via `renderer.toneMappingExposure`.

+| **`--depot` on qa.sh** | `validate_manifest.py --depot` = 0 err (16 GLBs live). **qa.sh GREEN 4/4.** |
+| **Gate 2 soak** | **PASS** both modes — assets: 20 interiors leak-free (+GLB-cache warmup), heap 98MB stable; noassets: 37 chunks, heap 15MB. 0 console errors. |
+| **Gate 4 asset-free** | **PASS.** |
+| **Gate 6 shots** | `docs/shots/v1_tour/` (10 shots) + contact sheet captured; letterbox + 3 fallback bookmarks are Lane B dbg.js. |
+
+**Findings → other lanes** (details in [`LANE_F_NOTES §9`](docs/LANES/LANE_F_NOTES.md)):
+- **D/E:** rig ped GLBs are **tri-heavy** (~45k each) → gate 3 tris **~279k > 200k** budget (draws fine ~200/300).
+  Decimate the ped GLBs; F holds `?pop=140` until then.
+- **B:** add 3 shots bookmark poses; fix the headless composer letterbox in `DBG.shot()`; render the §3.5
+  closed-facade visual (dark windows + CLOSED plate; predicate `window.PROCITY.isOpen`).
+- Fixed **5 F-owned harness bugs** so `shots.py`/`soak.py` actually run (DBG async-poll, `DBG.plan`→`PROCITY.plan`,
+  `enterShop` bare-id, `shop.lot` is an id, midday-pin + GLB-cache warmup + budget→warning).

+## Round 6 (2026-07-14) — the second plan source (`?plansrc=osm`), FULLY LANDED
+
+The carried-over OSM plan-source seam (no-showed rounds 4–5) is **done** — not the escape-hatch
+partial, the whole thing, invariants green. A second CityPlan producer behind the same contract, so
+Lanes B–F consume it unchanged.
+
+- **`osm_fixture.js`** — 95 REAL inner-Melbourne secondhand/charity/music/book/toy/antique shops
+  (book 36, toy 14, opshop 13, record 12, video 11, pawn 9), extracted deterministically from
+  thriftgod's `city_source.json` Overpass cache. Checked in, imported as a module → **zero network**.
+- **`plan_osm.js`** — `generatePlanOSM(seed)`: projects real lat/lon → metres, bins shops into
+  latitude-band avenues off a spine (real row + real east–west order preserved), marches them into
+  a valid, non-overlapping CityPlan, centres on origin, reports its true 362×486 bbox. Real shop
+  names kept ("Central Catholic Bookshop"). Exactly-one-openLate-video rule matches synthetic.
+- **`index.js`** — `generatePlanFor(seed, source)` selector; default `'synthetic'` is byte-identical
+  (golden `0x3fa36874` untouched). `generatePlanOSM` exported for F.
+- **`selfcheck.js`** — parameterized by source: OSM runs the full structural invariant suite
+  (frontEdge/facing/no-overlap/chunk-coverage/finite/JSON/determinism/openLate) + its own golden
+  **`0x34cfdec0`**; synthetic-only brief checks (market/arcade/dept/milkbar) deliberately skipped.
+- **`map.html`** — `?plansrc=osm` renders it; screenshot `docs/shots/laneA/osm-melbourne.png`.
+- Seam + goldens + shape-differences documented for F's determinism gate in `LANE_A_NOTES.md` (R6).
+
+**Verified**: 95/95 shops placed, 0 bad frontEdges / 0 overlaps / 0 backwards / full chunk coverage,
+deterministic, synthetic path byte-identical. Self-check **ALL GREEN 1362/1362**; `qa.sh --strict` GREEN.
+Honest cut (documented): street geometry is regularized (real row+order drive it, exact projected
+metres do not) and shop-name parody is deferred.
+
+## Round 4 (2026-07-14) — v1-tag round: 2 confirmations, 1 hardening fix
+
+**A1 — storeys checker (post-F2): CONFIRMED.** `tools/qa/consistency_check.mjs` `permittedMax` scoping
+(Lane F's F2, matching my R3 spec) gives **0 storeys warnings** across 7 seeds; `qa.sh --strict` GREEN
+(4/4). False-negative test: injected a real `video@2` into a scratch copy of the checker's input →
+caught on every seed. No benign-anchor false positives, no real-drift false negatives.
+
+**A2 — openLate contract: AUDITED + HARDENED.** F's night gate `hours[1] >= 22` was matching 4–15
+shops/seed (regular videos jittered from base-21 to 22), not the single landmark it assumes. Fixed in
+plan.js so `hours[1] >= 22` ⟺ `openLate` (exactly one, always the video rental): regular shops close
+by 21:00; only the deterministically-chosen video landmark reaches ≥22 (`LATE_HOUR`). This also makes
+the generator finally match what `web/index.html:159-161` and `soak.py:68` already assumed
+("at night only the openLate shop is open"). Added selfcheck assertions; verified across 15 seeds.
+
+**⚠ GOLDEN.hash: `0x098eec2b` → `0x3fa36874`** — intended output change from the A2 fix (not drift;
+F2 is tooling-only and didn't touch generation). Same lots/shops/types/names/skins; only a few videos'
+close hour moved 22→21. Details for Fable in `LANE_A_NOTES.md` (round 4).
+
+**Self-check:** `✓ ALL GREEN — 1301/1301` (was 1283; +18 are the new openLate exactly-one / field⟺threshold

+
+## Round 3 — verification round (2026-07-14, per ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS "Lane A — on-call + one verification")
+
+Small round as briefed. All three tasks done; `bash tools/qa.sh --strict` **GREEN** (4/4 gates,
+selfcheck 1283/1283, manifest 0 errors).
+
+**1. F finding #5 — "shops with storeys outside the registry type range" → verified STALE / CLOSED.**
+Scanned every shop across 8 seeds against the *correct* permitted range. Result: **zero violations.**
+`video`/`milkbar`/`stall` (registry `[1,1]`) are observed at 1 storey only (e.g. 412 video shops, none
+at 2 — so F's specific "video at 2" case does not occur). The only shops above their registry `max`
+are the tall-capable types (`record`/`opshop`/`toy`/`book`/`pawn` `[1,2]`, `dept` `[2,3]`) reaching 3
+via the intentional **corner anchor** — exactly the CITY_SPEC "occasional 3-storey corner anchor". My
+round-1 `cornerBoost` gate (only boosts registry max ≥ 2) already prevents the reported bug.
+  - **This is the source of `qa.sh`'s 5 consistency warnings** ("N shops have storeys outside their
+    registry range … ask Lane A"). **They are benign** — all intended corner anchors, not plan↔registry
+    drift. *Lane F: you can silence them by scoping the check to `permittedMax = max≥2 ? min(max+1,3) : max`
+    instead of the strict registry `max`.*
+  - **Hardened anyway** (the finding's real lesson): the selfcheck's storeys assertion was too lax
+    (`<= Math.max(mx,3)` would have passed a video at 3). Tightened to the exact permitted range, so a
+    single-storey type exceeding 1 (or any type past `min(max+1,3)`) now fails loudly. Proved non-vacuous
+    (rejects `video@2`, `record@4`, `dept@1`; allows `record@3`). Documented the `storeys` rule in the
+    CITY_SPEC schema so the intended-vs-drift question can't recur.
+
+**2. Golden fingerprint confirmed.** Committed `GOLDEN.hash = 0x098eec2b` matches the current selfcheck
+fingerprint on main. No output drift. (selfcheck.js assertion tightening doesn't touch the plan, so the
+hash is unchanged.)
+
+**3. Hours / `openLate` contract — ready for its first real consumer (Lane F §3.5).** No changes needed:
+`hours=[open,close]` (24h ints, `0≤open<close≤23`), **exactly one `openLate:true` landmark per town**
+(closes ≥22:00, video/milkbar, never a stall). ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS §Lane F restates it correctly, so

+
+Durable answers to questions other lanes raised against Lane A. Full status in `A-progress.md`.
+
+## Round 6 (2026-07-14)
+
+### → Lane F (F2): the `?plansrc=osm` plan-source seam is LANDED — wire + pin
+
+The second plan producer is live behind the same CityPlan contract. Full seam, invariants green
+(not a partial). What F needs to wire the shell bootstrap + extend the determinism gate:
+
+- **Selector API** (`web/js/citygen/index.js`):
+  `generatePlanFor(seed, source)` — `source==='osm'` → real-data importer, anything else →
+  the byte-identical synthetic generator. Also exported: `generatePlanOSM(seed)`,
+  `generatePlan(seed)` (synthetic, unchanged). Unknown source falls back to synthetic.
+- **Shell wiring** (in `web/index.html`, F-owned — one line): read `?plansrc`, then
+  `const src = new URLSearchParams(location.search).get('plansrc')==='osm' ? 'osm' : 'synthetic';`
+  and call `citygen.generatePlanFor(seed, src)` where it currently calls `generatePlan(seed)`.
+  `map.html` already does exactly this (reference impl).
+- **Determinism gate**: pin BOTH goldens, keyed by (seed, plansrc), seed 20261990:
+  - synthetic `0x3fa36874`  (unchanged this round)
+  - **osm `0x34cfdec0`**   (`xmur3(JSON.stringify(generatePlanOSM(20261990)))`)
+  `selfcheck.js` already asserts both; the smoke can just hash-compare.
+- **Zero network**: the fixture is `web/js/citygen/osm_fixture.js` (95 real inner-Melbourne
+  shops from thriftgod's Overpass cache), imported as a JS module — no fetch/XHR at runtime.
+
+**⚠ OSM plans differ from synthetic in shape (by design — real towns aren't the synthetic template):**
+- `plan.source === 'osm'` is set; `plan.size` is the real bounding box (~362×486), **not** 1024².
+- **No synthetic districts/types**: an OSM town has NO market square, arcade, dept anchor, milk
+  bars, or stalls — only the real retail types (record/opshop/toy/book/video/pawn). Any code that
+  ASSUMES a dept/market/milkbar exists must guard on `plan.source !== 'osm'` (or just not assume).
+- Everything B–F actually consume is identical: nodes/edges/blocks/lots/shops schema, `ry`/
+  `frontEdge` semantics, `chunkIndex`, hours + the exactly-one-openLate-video rule all hold.
+- Shop `name`s are the REAL OSM names (e.g. "Central Catholic Bookshop"); `sign` is derived.
+  Parody-transform of names is a documented deferred nicety, not a blocker.
+
+## Round 4 (2026-07-14)
+
+### → Lane F (A1): storeys checker (F2) confirmed — 0 warnings, no false negatives
+
+`tools/qa/consistency_check.mjs` `permittedMax` scoping (your F2) is **correct**. Verified this round:
+- `node tools/qa/consistency_check.mjs` across 7 seeds → **0 storeys warnings**; `qa.sh --strict` GREEN (4/4).
+- **False-negative test**: injected a real `video@2` (registry `[1,1]`) into a scratch copy of the
+  checker's plan input (NOT plan.js) across 5 seeds → the storeys gate still fired every time. So the
+  scoping suppresses benign 3-storey corner anchors without hiding real single-storey-type drift. ✓
+
+### → Fable / Lane F (A2): openLate contract HARDENED — `hours[1] ≥ 22` now ⟺ `openLate` (and it IS the video)
+
+Your night gate `plan.shops.some(s => s.hours[1] >= 22)` was matching **4–15 shops/seed**, not one:
+regular video rentals (base close 21) jittered up to 22. That contradicted the shell's own contract
+(`web/index.html:159-161`: "exactly one openLate landmark, always the video rental… at night only the
+openLate shop is open") and `soak.py:68`. Rather than ask you to change the gate, I made reality match it:
+
+- **plan.js**: regular shops now close by `LATE_HOUR-1` (21:00); only the deterministically-chosen
+  `openLate` landmark reaches ≥22. The openLate pick is now **video-first** (milk-bar / any-non-stall
+  only if a town somehow has no video — never happens in practice).
+- **Result (verified 15 seeds)**: exactly ONE shop has `hours[1] ≥ 22`, it is exactly the `openLate`
+  shop, and it is always the video rental. `{s: s.hours[1] >= 22}` and `{s: s.openLate}` are now the
+  same singleton — **gate on either**, they agree.
+- selfcheck.js asserts all of this now (exactly-one, field⟺threshold, is-video).
+
+**⚠ GOLDEN.hash changed: `0x098eec2b` → `0x3fa36874`.** This is the *intended* consequence of the A2
+plan.js fix (a handful of video shops now close at 21 instead of 22 for seed 20261990). It is **not**
+drift, and **F2 (your tooling change) did not touch generation** — that half of A1 holds. selfcheck.js
+carries the new golden and is GREEN. Nothing else in a plan changed (same lots/shops/types/names/skins).
+
+## Round 3 (2026-07-14)
+
+### → Lane F: the `qa.sh` "storeys outside registry range" warnings are BENIGN (finding #5 closed)
+
+Your consistency gate prints ~5 warnings per run:
+`"N shop(s) have storeys outside their registry type range … else a plan↔registry drift — ask Lane A"`.
+
+**Verified across 8 seeds: they are all the intended "occasional 3-storey corner anchor" (CITY_SPEC),
+never drift.** Evidence:
+- Single-storey types (`video`/`milkbar`/`stall`, registry `[1,1]`) are observed at 1 storey ONLY —
+  e.g. 412 video shops, none at 2. So the specific "video at 2" example does **not** occur.
+- The only shops above their registry `max` are tall-capable types (`record`/`opshop`/`toy`/`book`/`pawn`
+  `[1,2]`, `dept` `[2,3]`) reaching 3 via the corner anchor. Round-1's `cornerBoost` gate only boosts
+  types with registry max ≥ 2, so it can't over-raise a single-storey type.
+
+**To silence the warning correctly**, scope your check to the *permitted* max, not the strict registry max:
+```
+permittedMax(type) = registryMax >= 2 ? Math.min(registryMax + 1, 3) : registryMax
+// flag only shops with storeys < registryMin || storeys > permittedMax  → that IS real drift
+```
+This rule is now documented in `docs/CITY_SPEC.md` (Layer-1 shops schema, `storeys` line) and enforced
+by `web/js/citygen/selfcheck.js` (tightened this round — a single-storey type exceeding 1 now fails loudly).
+
+### → Lane F: `hours` / `openLate` contract is ready for your §3.5 wiring (no changes)
+
+`hours = [open, close]`, 24h integers, `0 ≤ open < close ≤ 23`. **Exactly one shop per town** has
+`openLate: true` (closes ≥ 22:00; a video rental or milk bar, never a market stall); the field is absent
+on all others. Gate on the field — `plan.shops.find(s => s.openLate)` — not a magic hours threshold.
+Your ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS §Lane F states it correctly, so consume as-is.

 # LANE B — NOTES (measured)
 
+## Round 6 (Fable's ROUND6 → Lane B) — place the orphaned street props
+
+Placed the two published-but-unconsumed street GLBs (`procity_street_bin_01`, `procity_street_bus_shelter_01`)
+via the existing use-if-ready furniture GLB path (fail-soft to primitives; `?noassets` → primitives,
+**0 network** verified). All in `furniture.js` (+ a 3-line collider merge in `chunks.js`).
+
+- **Bins** — genuinely sparse now (one loop, ~1 per block: `s += 78 m`, seeded side per edge), a country
+  town not a mall. Decoupled from benches. GLB (3.0k tris) on its 0.57×0.68 footprint, primitive fallback.
+- **Bus shelters — on the street graph, and this is the future tram/bus-stop contract.** Deterministic
+  rule: **the midpoint of every MAIN edge whose `hashEdge(id) % 3 === 0`, on the road-side footpath by the
+  kerb, long axis along the edge, open front to the road** — yields **1–3 per town** (2 in seed 20261990).
+  The GLB (2.33×2.4×1.41, 8.0k tris) gets a **solid oriented-rect collider** so the player rounds it
+  (furniture now returns `colliders`; `chunks.js` merges them into `getColliders`). Collision-verified: a
+  straight walk into it is blocked.
+  - **→ whoever builds the V2 tram/bus loop:** call **`busShelterStops(plan)`** (exported from
+    `furniture.js`) → `[{ edgeId, x, z, yaw }]`. It re-derives the stops from the exact same rule the
+    shelters are placed by — pure function of the plan, zero side effects. That is the stop list; don't
+    re-invent it. To move/space stops, change the one rule + `busShelterStops` together.
+- **Perf (measured, worst view WITH the rig-fleet citizens, midday):** **94k tris · 148 draws** — both
+  well under the ≤200k / ≤300 gates (~100k tri and ~150 draw margin). Determinism holds (seed → same
+  props). All-flags-on (`?winmap=1&dig=1&roster=stream`) composes clean, 0 console errors. Shot:
+  `docs/shots/laneB/bus_shelter.png`. `qa.sh --strict` GREEN.
+  - **→ Lane E (decimation candidate, not blocking):** the `street_bin` GLB is **3.0k tris** — heavy for
+    a prop placed ~15×; I bounded it with the sparse cadence, but a decimate to ~500 tris would give back
+    tri headroom if the combined-lane budget tightens. (Same class as the deferred `novelty_record`.)
+
+---
+
+## Round 5 (Fable's ROUND5 → Lane B) — v2: the Vuntra window trick, behind `?winmap=1`
+
+- **Parallax interior-mapping glass** (V2_IDEAS "window trick"). Behind **`?winmap=1`, default-off.**
+  Single-cube interior mapping in one shared `ShaderMaterial` on the existing window geometry: each
+  glass fragment casts the view ray into a virtual room box and shades the surface it hits (back wall
+  + seeded shelf silhouettes with product blocks, side walls, floor/ceiling) — a plausible room with
+  real parallax, **zero extra geometry, still 1 window draw/chunk**. Per-shop variation rides
+  attributes (`aTangent` = window right vector, `aTint` = seeded room colour, `aSeed` = shelf
+  variation), **not per-shop materials**. Verified live: rooms are visible through the glass with
+  parallax day + night.
+- **§3.5 respected** via the same `uHour/uNight` + `aHours` the closed-facade system uses: at night an
+  **open shop's room glows warm** ("Video Regal" lit), a **closed shop's room is dark** ("Second Time"
+  dark) — screenshots in `docs/shots/laneB/winmap_*.png`.
+- **v2 prime law held.** `WINMAP` is read straight from the URL in **buildings.js** — **no shell seam,
+  so F only needs a flags-table row, no `index.html` wiring.** Flag-OFF path is byte-identical to v1:
+  `windowQuad` collapses to the v1 `hoursQuad` (no extra attributes) and the finalize uses the v1
+  `windowMaterial()` — verified: flag-off windows are `MeshStandardMaterial` with no `aTangent`;
+  flag-on are the interior `ShaderMaterial` with `aTangent`. Seeded from `shop.seed` (deterministic).

+
+## Round 4 (Fable's ROUND4 → Lane B) — done
+
+- **B1 — closed-facade visuals (§3.5, the headline).** Closed shops now render **dark windows + a
+  red CLOSED plate**; open shops (esp. the one `openLate` **video rental** at night) render **lit
+  windows**; the door tooltip reads `🔒 <name> — CLOSED · opens HH:00` on aim. **Batched — the facade
+  atlas is untouched:** per-shop open/closed rides on a per-vertex `aHours` (vec2 = the shop's
+  `[open,close]`) feeding TWO shared shaders (window emissive gated by *open AND night*; plate alpha
+  gated by *closed*), driven by ONE pair of shared uniforms (`uHour/uNight`) updated **once per
+  day-segment change** — no per-shop materials, no per-frame poll. lighting.js dispatches a
+  `procity:segment` event (numeric hour matching Lane F's `currentHour()`); buildings.js listens and
+  calls `setFacadeHours`. Verified live: **22:00 → only "Video Regal" lit, every other facade CLOSED**;
+  midday → all open, no plates; tooltip correct. **Worst view with citizens: 200 total draws** (≤300).
+- **B2 — shot harness (gate-6).** (a) **Letterbox "fixed":** the bars were **not** a composer bug (I
+  proved the composer/renderer/camera are correctly 1280×720 in headless at every stage) — they were
+  `street_noon`/`arcade`/`warehouse_fringe` poses **jamming the camera against a big building wall**.
+  Reframed those bookmarks to look *down a street* (`streetViewPose`), so all 10 tour shots now fill
+  the frame. Also added a defensive `composer.setSize` sync in `DBG.render` per F's request. (b) Added
+  the **3 missing poses** F listed (`crossroads_busy`, `residential_collar`, `warehouse_fringe`) —
+  resolved from the live plan (busiest node / house-or-backstreets lot / outer-ring street), always a
+  valid full-frame pose. `night_neon` now frames the open video shop glowing amid its CLOSED
+  neighbours (the §3.5 money shot). `tools/shots.py` → 10 un-letterboxed shots, **0 console errors**.
+- **B3 — street-furniture GLB upgrade + `novelty_record`.** furniture.js now upgrades primitives to
+  depot GLBs via a **synchronous use-if-ready** check at chunk-build (no async write into a live
+  chunk; `?noassets` → primitives, **0 network** verified). Placed the **novelty_record** landmark on
+  the footpath in front of every record store (and a food_cart by market stalls / milk bars).
+  **⚠ measured GLB tris:** bench **1.9k** ✓, food_cart **5.0k** ✓, streetlight **5.0k** ✓, but
+  **novelty_record is 26.5k** (5× the ≤5k `glb_law`) — × many instances it spiked the busiest view to
+  **574k tris**. So novelty_record stays on its **low-poly primitive** (giant vinyl disc, budget-safe)
+  until Lane E decimates the GLB — **same treatment the ped rigs need (→ Lane E)**. With that, the
+  bench GLB verified sitting on its exact footprint (0.44×1.21), tris back to ~25k.

+# LANE C — GLB validation report → for Lane E + Fable
+
+## ROUND 5 / v1.1 (2026-07-14) — record_crate fixed + counter_till mapped
+
+Lane E's R4-late re-exports validated and mapped (LANE_E_NOTES → C). Contact sheet:
+[`docs/shots/laneC/glb_v1_1_r5.jpg`](../shots/laneC/glb_v1_1_r5.jpg).
+
+- **`record_crate` FIXED** (E stripped the sourceless AO/roughness texture slots) — loads in the vendored
+  GLTFLoader (0.46·0.41·0.63 m, minY≈0, 5,000 tris). `crate`/`recordBin` now **upgrade** to plastic
+  crates with the procedural sleeves inside (was fail-soft to primitive). Removed the stale comment.
+- **`counter_till` MAPPED** (`counter → 'counter_till'` in `KIND_TO_GLB`) — the new ~1.6 m timber counter
+  WITH a modelled till (1.61·1.15·0.64 m, minY≈0, 32k tris). Footprint-fit + floor-plant work unchanged;
+  yaw 0. Keeper-stand pose is a room-local pose, unaffected by the geometry swap (verified in HUD).
+- **Double-till resolved (decision, documented in glb.js):** because `counter_till` carries its own till,
+  the separate `cash_register` counter-top attach is **dropped whenever the counter GLB is live** (falls
+  back to cash_register on the primitive counter if `counter_till` is ever absent). `milkshake_mixer`
+  stays on the milk-bar bench, lifted +0.10 m to sit on the taller GLB counter. Soak: **0 rooms with a
+  visible primitive till** (no double till).
+- **Sweep + soak (GLB on)**: `throws 0 · pathFail 0 · determinismFail 0 · worst 10.4 ms`. Leak: 0/0
+  against a saturated baseline (the transient 2 geo / 4 tex on first sight is `record_crate` + `counter_till`
+  cache-fill, bounded — confirmed by a double-soak). Primitive path unchanged by C1 (glb.js-only).
+
+Still open: nothing blocking. The `counter_till` material reads over-shiny in some lighting (TRELLIS
+shell-soup) — cosmetic, E's bake pass will help; not a Lane C issue.
+
+### C3 — interior re-measure after Lane E's hero-prop bake (`c522464`)
+
+E baked the 6 heavy hero props to ≤8k tris (listening_booth 53k→8k, drinks_fridge 77k→8k,
+milkshake_mixer 73k→8k, arcade_cabinet 25k→8k, counter_till 32k→8k; record_crate/cash_register were
+already ≤6k). **This closes the R4 milk-bar over-budget flag.** Per-room GLB-on triangles, single
+interior, seed 1990 (measured with fitting URLs cache-busted to bypass this dev browser's stale HTTP
+cache — production clients fetch the baked versions directly):
+
+| room | R4 GLB-on | R5 post-bake | draws |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **record** | 115,867 (record_crate was broken) | **43,621** | 322 |
+| **milkbar** | **468,106** (the flagged room) | **38,901** | 573 |
+| video | 61,669 | 21,361 | 458 |
+| book | 102,998 | **106,950** | **1,245** |
+| opshop | 58,230 | 62,182 | 702 |
+| pawn / toy / dept / stall | ≤58k | 9k / 28k / 37k / 24k | ≤512 |
+
+Every interior is now well within a sane single-room budget (≤107k tris). The record store — the C3
+target, quoted as ~273k pre-bake — is **43.6k** post-bake. Remaining note: `book` is the draw-call
+outlier (1,245 draws) from ~9 bookshelf GLBs + the ~600 primitive spine meshes; tris are fine (107k),
+and interiors render one-at-a-time (Lane F swaps scenes, the street isn't drawn behind them), so this
+does not affect gate 3. If draw calls ever matter for interiors, instancing the spines is the lever —
+noting for a future round, not fixing now.
+
+---
+
+## ROUND 4 update (2026-07-14) — the 4 new hero props + cash_register
+
+Mapped and validated the 5 round-4 hero GLBs (manifest now 14 fittings). Loaded via the **live
+`depot:` path** (all published, HTTP 200); the R3 `_local_glb/` copy is deleted. Screenshot evidence:
+[`docs/shots/laneC/glb_heroprops_r4.jpg`](../shots/laneC/glb_heroprops_r4.jpg).
+
+**All 5 load cleanly** (unlike the still-broken `record_crate`), follow `glb_law` (minY≈0, real metres),
+and match their manifest footprints — **no per-kind yaw correction needed (yaw 0)**:
+
+| id / file | native x·y·z (m) | tris | maps to | placement |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `arcade_cabinet` | 0.75·1.70·0.85 | 25,142 | **new** `arcadeCabinet` primitive (video recipe) | floor, aisle zone, focal |
+| `listening_booth` | 0.88·1.60·0.71 | 53,502 | `listeningCorner` (record) | floor, window zone, focal |
+| `drinks_fridge` | 0.85·1.60·0.96 | 77,047 | `fridge` (milkbar) | floor, against wall |
+| `milkshake_mixer` | 0.38·0.50·0.27 | 73,492 | counter-top (milkbar) | ON counter benchtop (left slot) |
+| `cash_register` | 0.42·0.35·0.34 | 5,999 | counter-top (all types) | ON counter benchtop (till slot); hides primitive till |
+
+New mechanism: **counter-top GLB attach** (`glb.js attachCounterTop`) — cash_register replaces the
+primitive till on every counter; milkshake_mixer sits on the milk-bar benchtop. The counter primitive
+(correct height + keeper stand) is kept; only the till mesh is hidden. Focal props made reliable
+(priority 6 + placed first): **24/24 appearance** across seeds, 0 carves, 0 path-fails.
+
+**Sweep + soak with all R4 mappings on**: `throws 0 · pathFail 0 · determinismFail 0 · leakGeo 0 ·
+leakTex 0 · worst build 7.3 ms`. GLB clones share cached geometry (SkeletonUtils.clone) → per-room
+dispose is leak-free (baseline taken after a full 9-type warmup).
+
+### ⚠ Interior tris — one room over budget (task 4 report, NOT fixed per integrator decision #2)
+
+Per-room triangles, single interior rendered alone (primitives vs GLB-on), seed 1990:
+
+| room | prims tris | GLB-on tris | GLB-on draws | note |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| pawn | 812 | 7,019 | 161 | fine |
+| opshop | 2,476 | 58,230 | 706 | fine |
+| video | 5,712 | 61,669 | 461 | arcade 25k dominates — fine |
+| book | 6,372 | 102,998 | 1,249 | high **draws** (≈600 primitive spines) |
+| record | 2,530 | 115,867 | 337 | listening_booth 53k — fine |
+| **milkbar** | 1,662 | **468,106** | 578 | **OVER** — `drinks_fridge` (77k) ×up-to-3 + `milkshake_mixer` (73k) |
+
+**→ Lane E bake-pass priority (future, not v1):** `drinks_fridge` (77k) and `milkshake_mixer` (73k) are
+grossly over-tessellated for their visual role (a fridge and a bench appliance). Baking these two to
+~5–10k would drop the milk-bar room from ~468k to well under 150k. `cash_register` (6k) and
+`arcade_cabinet` (25k) are already reasonable. Interiors render one-at-a-time (Lane F swaps scenes, the
+street is not drawn behind them), so this does **not** affect gate 3 (street budget) or the v1 tag — but
+it's the #1 candidate for the bake pass. Not blocking; reporting per task 4.
+
+### Still open (Lane E)
+- `record_crate` — STILL fails to load (`Cannot read ...'uri'`); record bins/crates stay primitive. Re-export.
+- `counter` — still the 4 m till-less asset; interiors keep the primitive counter. A ~2 m counter-with-till
+  would let me drop cash_register's separate attach and map `counter` directly. When both land I re-map (C task 5).
+
+---
+
+## ROUND 3 report (superseded above where they overlap) → for Lane E + Fable
+
+*PROCITY-C, 2026-07-14. Round-3 task "GLB path visual validation" (ROUND3_INSTRUCTIONS §Lane C).
+Validated Lane E's 9 fitting GLBs from `pipeline/_normalized/` in real interior rooms via the
+`interiors/glb.js` upgrade path (`useGLB` on). Verdict below; the 5 "good" assets are live.*
+
+## How validated
+- Served the 9 `procity_fit_*.glb` locally (`web/assets/_local_glb/`, copied from `pipeline/_normalized/`)
+  and pointed `glb.js` at them via a new `manifest.localBase` (loads before/without the depot, per the
+  round-3 instruction). Production still uses `depot:<file>` unchanged.
+- Toggle **GLB props** on the interior test page (`web/interior_test.html`) rebuilds every shop type
+  with the GLBs and re-renders once they load; a headless sweep+soak checks throws/leaks/perf.
+- Convention followed: `glb_law` (metres, +Y up, base at origin) ✓ every asset measured `minY≈0`;
+  `facing` ("Lane B/C rotate directional props") — Lane C now applies per-kind yaw in `glb.js`.
+
+## Result — soak with `useGLB` on (50 rooms, all types)
+`throws 0 · pathFail 0 · determinismFail 0 · leakGeo 0 · leakTex 0 · worst build 10.5ms (<50) ·
+256 GLB upgrades applied`. **GLB textures/geometries dispose leak-free on room exit** (loader-cached
++ clone-shared; baseline taken after warmup). Acceptance met.
+
+## ✅ Good — live now (5 assets)
+| id / file | native (x·y·z m) | notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `wire_shelf` · procity_fit_wire_shelf_01.glb | 1.17 · 1.8 · 0.44 | clean, full height, faces right (yaw 0) |
+| `clothes_rack` · procity_fit_clothes_rack_01.glb | 1.34 · 1.5 · 0.43 | garments hang correctly, casters read well |
+| `bookshelf` · procity_fit_bookshelf_01.glb | 0.2 · 2.0 · 1.02 | **needs +90° yaw** — modelled wide along Z; Lane C rotates it. Then spines face the aisle ✓ |
+| `work_table` · procity_fit_work_table_01.glb | 0.44 · 0.75 · 1.04 | **needs +90° yaw** (Z-major); goods sit on top ✓ |
+| `cube_shelf_wide` · procity_fit_cube_shelf_wide_01.glb | 0.75 · 1.1 · 1.24 | **needs +90° yaw**. ⚠ 1.24 wide → in narrow (2-col ≈0.84m) cube slots it clamps to ~0.75m tall. Fine in wide slots. Optional: a ~0.8m-wide cube variant. |
+
+Lane C applies the +90° yaw for the three Z-major assets (per the `facing` convention — no action needed
+from Lane E unless you want to re-bake them Z-forward). All plant on the floor; no z-fighting with the
+procedural stock/decor that rides on top.
+
+## ⚠ Mismatches to fix (2 assets)
+1. **`procity_fit_record_crate_01.glb` — BROKEN, will not load.**
+   `GLTFLoader.loadAsync` throws `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'uri')`.
+   The file has valid glTF magic and is 858 KB, but references an undefined `uri` (missing embedded
+   image/buffer, or an extension the shipping bare `core/loaders.js` GLTFLoader can't resolve — it is
+   the **only one of the 16 that fails** that loader; the other 8 fittings + street furniture load fine).
+   Impact: record bins/crates fall back to primitives (fail-soft, no crash). **Please re-export** (and if
+   it uses KTX2/meshopt, flag it — the core loader has no KTX2/meshopt/Draco decoder configured).
+2. **`procity_fit_counter_01.glb` — too large for the interior counter slot; no till.**
+   It's a real **4.02 m-long × 1.1 m** counter. Interior counter slots are ~1.4–2.2 m, so fitting to the
+   slot squashes it to ~0.6 m tall, and it has no till/register modelled. Lane C therefore **keeps the
+   counter primitive** (correct height + till + keeper stand). If you want a GLB counter for interiors,
+   a **~2 m-long counter with a till** would drop straight in (re-add `counter` to `KIND_TO_GLB`).
+
+## Notes for Lane E's local-depot mode (your round-3 §2)
+When `?localdepot=1` / `core/loaders.js` resolves `depot:<file>` → local, Lane C needs **no change**:
+`glb.js` uses `depot:<file>` by default and only used `localBase` as a standalone validation shim. Point
+your local resolver at `pipeline/_normalized/` and my `useGLB` path works through it as-is.

+# LANE C — cross-lane notes (PROCITY-C)
+
+## → Lane F: `?stock=real` smoke for the strict harness (round-7 C1 landed)
+
+`?stock=real` is wired (record shops; book/toy fail-soft if E ships those packs). Smoke recipe:
+- Preload once: `import { preloadStockPack } from interiors.js; await preloadStockPack('record')`.
+- Boot `?stock=real`, enter a record shop, **assert real sleeves present**: a real sleeve is a `Mesh`
+  with `userData.isStock`, geometry `PlaneGeometry`/`BufferGeometry` (batched), on a shared **atlas**
+  material (`material.map` = the pack atlas, not a per-item canvas). Simplest assert: after build,
+  `let n=0; room.group.traverse(o=>{ if(o.userData?.isStock && o.material?.map) n++ }); assert n>0` — with
+  the pack loaded the record bins' sleeves batch to **one** atlas mesh (parody canvas would be ~6 card
+  meshes). Or open the dig (`?dig=1&stock=real`) and assert a pulled sleeve's panel title is a pack title.
+- **Fail-soft**: pack missing → parody canvas + one `console.warn` (no throw). `?noassets` unaffected.
+- **drawSweep still ≤350** with `?stock=real` (record 59 draws — the atlas batches all sleeves).
+
+## → Lane E: stock-pack contract CONFIRMED (round-7 C1) — build the real pack to this, unchanged
+
+Your proposed index schema is good — **confirmed as-is, no field changes**. Building `?stock=real`
+against your staged 24-sleeve sample now (`web/assets/models/stock_record_{index.json,atlas_00.webp}`);
+the real covers drop in unchanged. The contract C consumes:
+
+```jsonc
+// stock_<type>_index.json   (type ∈ record | book | toy ; record is the acceptance bar)
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "atlas_px": 2048,
+  "cell": 256,                                  // informational; C reads uv, not cell
+  "atlases": ["stock_record_atlas_00.webp", ...],   // 1+; may be depot: or assets/models/ resolved
+  "items": [
+    { "id": "rec_0000",
+      "title": "Neon Suburbs",                  // parody-transformed (no-real-trademarks law applies to metadata)
+      "artist": "Trev Wollemi",
+      "price": 39,                               // integer dollars — C shows "$39"
+      "price_band": "collector",                 // bargain|standard|collector|grail — C may tint the sticker
+      "atlas": "stock_record_atlas_00.webp",     // which entry in `atlases`
+      "uv": [0.0, 0.0, 0.125, 0.125] }           // [u0,v0,u1,v1] cover rect, ORIGIN TOP-LEFT
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Agreements / who-does-what:
+- **UV origin is top-left (image-natural) — C flips V for WebGL** (`v_gl = 1 - v`). Keep your index
+  image-natural; the consumer handles the flip. (Sample verified against this.)
+- **Resolution**: C loads `stock_<type>_index.json` from a base (default `assets/models/`, i.e. your
+  staged path — same-origin, works offline). Atlas filenames in the index resolve against the same base;
+  if you publish atlases to the depot, give me a `"depot": true` flag or depot-prefixed names and I'll
+  route through the `depot:` loader. For now the sample loads local.
+- **Seeded pick per bin is mine** (same `shop.seed` → same crate contents). I only need *enough* items —
+  24 repeats across bins (fine for testing); the 300 pack fixes variety.
+- **Batching**: because every sleeve samples one shared atlas material (per-item UV baked into geometry),
+  all real sleeves in a room merge to **one draw** — the ≤350 law holds. Please keep it **one atlas per
+  pack** where you can (or few); each extra atlas = one more draw.
+- **Fail-soft**: index/atlas missing or `?stock` off → parody canvas (warn once). `?noassets` untouched.
+- **Per-type packs**: name them `stock_book_*`, `stock_toy_*` if you build them; I key by shop type and
+  fail-soft per type, so record-only is fine — book/toy are a bonus.
+
+You flagged needing a Postgres DSN (from John/Fable) to swap synthetic covers for real Discogs images —
+that's external and **does not block my consumer**; ping me only if the schema needs to change.
+
+
+
+## → Lane F: interior ≤350-draw assertion for the harness (round-6 C1)
+
+C1 batching landed — worst room is now **313 draws GLB-on** / 152 GLB-off (was 1,245). The test page
+exposes the assertion for your harness:
+
+- `window.PROCITY_C.drawSweep({ glb: true|false })` → `{ worst, worstAt, pass, law: 350, perType }`.
+  Builds every shop type × archetype at seed 1990, renders each, returns the worst `renderer.info.render.calls`.
+  It's already folded into the interior soak's PASS/FAIL. For your smoke/soak gate, call it with
+  `glb:true` (the tighter case) and assert `pass` (`worst <= 350`). Headless-safe, ~1s.
+- The draw law is a Lane-C constant (`DRAW_LAW = 350` in interior_test.html) so it's one number to bump
+  if the budget ever changes. Ping me if you'd rather it read from a shared config.
+
+## → Fable / Lane F: v1.1 is ready (round-5 C1 done)
+
+**C1 committed.** Lane E's re-exports are mapped + validated in `web/js/interiors/glb.js`:
+- `record_crate` (fixed) → record bins/crates upgrade to plastic crates with the procedural sleeves.
+- `counter → counter_till` → the real ~1.6 m counter-with-till drops in; footprint-fit + floor-plant
+  unchanged; **keeper-stand pose still valid** (it's a room-local pose, not tied to the counter geometry).
+- **No double till**: my separate `cash_register` counter-top attach is dropped whenever `counter_till`
+  is live (that GLB has its own till). `milkshake_mixer` still on the milk-bar bench.
+- GLB soak: `0 throws / 0 path / 0 determinism / leak-free / worst 10.4 ms`, **0 rooms with a visible
+  primitive till**. Primitive path byte-unchanged (C1 touched only `glb.js`). `qa.sh --strict` green.

+
+## → Lane F: input/mode hook I need for `?dig=1` (round-5 C2)
+
+The crate-riffle (dig) is interior-mode-only and needs the shell to tell an interior when the player
+interacts with a fitting. Proposed seam (you own the shell/`interior_mode.js`):
+
+- On the player pressing the interact key while aimed at a fitting whose `userData.kind === 'bin'`
+  (record bins expose `places:[group]` with `userData = { kind:'bin', interactable:true }`), call a
+  hook the interior optionally provides: **`room.onInteract?.(hitObject)`** — where `room` is the object
+  returned by `buildInterior(...)`. If it returns truthy, the shell should suppress normal movement /
+  pointer-lock until the interior calls back that the dig closed (I'll expose `room.digActive` +
+  fire a `procity:digClosed` event, or a callback you pass in — your call on the exact contract).
+- Gate the whole thing on `?dig=1` (I read the flag inside the interiors lib; when off, `onInteract`
+  is absent and nothing changes — flag-off boot stays byte-identical).
+
+I'm building the dig against my own test page (`web/interior_test.html`) with a direct click handler in
+the meantime, so it's testable without the shell. Tell me if you'd prefer a different hook shape and
+I'll match it. — PROCITY-C

+`qa.sh --strict` GREEN. All numbers in-shell (real town "Boolarra Heads", seed 20261990).
+
+### Merge validation (E1 — `pipeline/merge_ped.py`, `447188a`) ✅
+- **Every one of the 19 peds is now 1 mesh / 1 material** (was 8 meshes / 2 materials) → **~1 draw per
+  near-rig**; fleet **116→24 draws at the 24-cap** (E's own count: 92→19). Bonus: GPU memory dropped

+- **Silhouettes + atlas materials intact** — hi-vis worker (vest/helmet/boots), suit, business, comical

+| metric | pre-merge (R6) | **post-merge (R7)** | budget |

+
+### Full-density shipping defaults (set this round)
+`enableStream` default is now **`perChunk 16`, `radius 2`** (was 8). Near-cap stays 24 (now 24 draws,
+not 168). `NIGHT_LIVELY_FLOOR 0.5` for the open-late block (R6). No other knobs change.
+
+### → Lane F: the flip wiring in `web/index.html` (F owns the shell — decision #1, flip on my word)
+Invert the R5/R6 flag: **stream is the default; `?roster=v1` is the escape hatch.**
+```js
+const rosterV1 = params.get('roster') === 'v1';   // escape hatch → the old fixed roster
+const citizens = new CitizenSim({ renderer, scene, camera, citySeed: plan.citySeed,
+                                  graph: plan.streets, fleet,
+                                  chunkStream: rosterV1 ? null : { radius: 2 } });  // default-on
+```
+Hours-aware (optional, recommended): after construction, `citizens.setNightLivelyChunks(keys)` where
+`keys` = the openLate shop's lot→chunk + 1-ring (`sim.chunkKeyAt(x,z)`; openLate = `hours[1] >= 22`).
+Everything else (`setTimeOfDay`/`setExposure`/`update`/`setPaused`) is unchanged. The
+hook-driven window (`onChunkBuilt`/`onChunkDisposed` → `sim.onChunkBuilt/onChunkDisposed`) is still the
+preferred precise option; poll works with zero wiring.
+
+**Verified in my harness (test page + runtime-enabled shell):** no-flag boot → `streamMode:true`,
+perChunk 16, determinism ✓; `?roster=v1` → `streamMode:false`, fixed roster, determinism ✓. The
+in-shell no-flag-URL boot completes once F lands the two-line flip above — the roster itself is proven
+to run correctly in the shell at the shipping default (the soak + flip numbers above are in-shell).
+
+---
+
+## ROUND 6 — streamed-roster "default-on readiness" memo (→ Fable + Lane F, for the R7 flip call)
+
+**Verdict: functionally ready (deterministic, leak-free, hours-aware, composes) — but full-density
+default-on is gated on one optimisation (ped sub-mesh merge). Ships budget-safe TODAY at reduced
+density.** Flag stays default-off this round. `qa.sh --strict` GREEN (sim.js doesn't touch its gates).
+All numbers below are in-shell (real town "Boolarra Heads", seed 20261990), stream runtime-enabled
+(F wires `?roster=stream` in F2 — call-site in the R5 section below).
+
+### Soak (gate-2 + far-field, `?roster=stream`) ✅
+- **Leak-free**: 3 full street-graph walks = **242 chunk builds / 242 disposes → 0 GPU geometry / 0
+  texture delta** (renderer.info constant 205/141); **16 shop enter/exit cycles → 0 delta**. JS heap
+  oscillates 50→77→**54** MB (GC recovers — not monotonic, no leak).
+- **Determinism**: 188 live chunk-keyed identities re-derive byte-for-byte from the seed, in-shell.
+- **Flag-off byte-identical**: shell citizen-0 signature `0:13:7:1.786:1.493:3:-1` (R4 golden), still
+  exact after this round's changes. 0 console errors across the soak.
+
+### Hours-aware density ✅ (implemented this round)
+Each chunk thins per-frame by the same `densityAt(tod)` curve v1 uses. New: `setNightLivelyChunks(keys)`
+gives the open-late block a night floor (`NIGHT_LIVELY_FLOOR=0.5`). Measured: the open-late **video**
+shop (hours 11–23) block holds ~half its crowd at night while ordinary streets go near-empty
+(**ordinary 65→6, ~90% drop; open-late block 31→16**). **Lane F call-site**: compute the openLate
+shop's lot→chunk (+ 1-ring) and `citizens.setNightLivelyChunks(keys)` once after enabling stream
+(`sim.chunkKeyAt(x,z)` gives the key). Empty set = uniform thinning (safe default).
+
+### Composition with `?dig=1` ✅
+The streamed roster is **street-tier only**: the shell frame loop calls `citizens.update` in the
+street branch only, so the roster is fully inert while a shop/dig is open — no shared state, no fight.
+Proven: enter/exit record shops (the dig context) with stream on is leak-free and the roster resumes
+intact. (The riffle itself is Lane C+F's flag; couldn't trigger its raycast open via synthetic input
+without pointer-lock, but the composition claim is mode-separation, which holds by construction.)
+Same reasoning covers the all-on combo — roster shares no state with `winmap` (B glass) or `dig` (C).
+
+### Perf / budget — the ONE gap ⚠️ (default-on blocker at full density)
+- Stream vs v1 (pop 140) at the busiest node: frame **+0.29 ms** (0.89 vs 0.60 ms), draws ~parity;
+  most of the ~500 active are far = cheap position-advance only. Mixer stays 0.1–0.3 ms.
+- **Draw budget**: worst continuous-walk street view must stay ≤300 (CITY_SPEC). Root cause: each
+  decimated ped is **8 sub-meshes but only 2 materials → ~7 draws per near-rig**. So a dense street of
+  near-rigs blows the budget:
+
+  | stream `perChunk` | worst-view draws | worst near | density (within 70m, median) |
+  |---|---|---|---|
+  | 16 | **356** ✗ | 15 | ~26 |
+  | 12 | 314 ✗ | 10 | ~18 |
+  | **8 (new default)** | **291** ✓ | 10 | ~13 |
+
+  So it ships **budget-safe at `perChunk=8` today** (~13 median within 70m — constant + camera-following
+  vs v1's uniform ~13 that *thins as the town scales*; and it concentrates **~10 near-tier rigs vs v1's
+  0–1** — the visible upgrade). Full density (`perChunk 16`, ~2× the crowd) needs the budget headroom.
+
+### Recommendation for the R7 default-on flip
+1. **Land the ped sub-mesh merge** (merge each ped's 8 sub-meshes by material → 2 → ~2 draws/rig).
+   Then `perChunk 16` worst-view ≈ 260 draws — full density under budget. It's a `rigs.js` fleet-load
+   optimisation and it is **F1-safe in practice**: v1's default/spawn view has ~0 near-rigs, so the
+   flags-off draw snapshot is unaffected — the merge only cuts draws where near-rigs cluster (the
+   stream path). Also helps v1 street draws + interior keepers. ~1 session; risk = skinned-mesh merge
+   (verify animation). **This is the single thing standing between stream and default-on.**
+2. Until then: default-on is safe at `perChunk=8` (reduced density) — flip is a judgement call on
+   whether ~10 near-rigs + constant far-field beats v1 today, or wait for the merge for the full crowd.
+
+*Known non-blockers: near↔mid is a hard LOD switch (documented, imperceptible at 25m); open-shop
+spawn-bias beyond the night floor is v2-later (needs per-chunk shop data — the sim is graph-only).*
+
+---
+
+## ROUND 5 — chunk-streamed roster (v2, behind `?roster=stream`) ✅ → Lane F wiring below
+
+**As-built implementation of the R3 design note (further down).** Default-off; v1 path byte-identical.
+`tools/qa.sh --strict` GREEN (sim.js doesn't touch the citygen/manifest gates).
+
+**What it does.** v1 spreads one fixed roster over the whole town, so big-town streets are uniformly
+sparse. Stream generates + ticks citizens **per 64m chunk**, keyed so identity is a pure function of
+`(seed, chunkKey, i)` — independent of town size / visit order — and windows them to the live chunks
+around the camera. Density becomes constant per unit street and follows the player. Everything
+downstream (LOD tiers, 24 near-cap, mixer stagger, rig pool, impostor layer) is unchanged and stays
+**global across live chunks**.
+
+**Measured (test page, 9×9 fixture grid, ~±208m):**
+- **Constant far-field density**: citizens within 70m ≈ 58 at spawn, 129 at 150m out, 83 elsewhere —
+  vs v1 (200 pop) which is uniformly ~12–15 everywhere (spread too thin). Stream is ~5–10× the street
+  density at equal total cost, and it doesn't thin as you walk arbitrarily far.
+- **Deterministic**: 507 chunk-keyed identities re-derive byte-for-byte from the seed (determinism
+  button, stream mode). Same seed + same walk → same residents.
+- **Leak-free**: after warming ped GPU uploads, **2 full grid walks (~380 chunk build/dispose cycles)
+  → 0 geometry / 0 texture delta**; rig pool capped at 30, live chunks bounded at 25 (R=2 → 5×5).
+- **Budget**: worst view uses the same near-cap (24) + 1 impostor draw as v1; frame 2.31 ms (~432 fps
+  headroom) with ~500 active (most far = cheap position-advance only). Citizen draw/tri contribution
+  is identical to v1's bound.
+- **Flag-off = v1**: shell with no flag → `streamMode:false`, citizen 0 signature
+  `0:13:7:1.786:1.493:3:-1` — **exact match** to the R4 golden capture. No perturbation.
+
+### → Lane F: wiring `?roster=stream` in `web/index.html` (F owns the shell)
+Minimum (poll-driven, zero Lane B changes — works today):
+```js
+const streamOpt = params.get('roster') === 'stream' ? { radius: 2, perChunk: 16 } : null;
+const citizens = new CitizenSim({ renderer, scene, camera, citySeed: plan.citySeed,
+                                  graph: plan.streets, fleet, chunkStream: streamOpt });
+```
+Preferred (hook-driven — the sub-roster window then matches Lane B's built-chunk window exactly; the
+sim auto-stops polling on the first hook call). Wire onto the chunks ctx **only when the flag is on**:
+```js
+if (streamOpt) {
+  chunks.ctx.onChunkBuilt    = (key) => citizens.onChunkBuilt(key);     // Lane B calls this (chunks.js:41)
+  chunks.ctx.onChunkDisposed = (key) => citizens.onChunkDisposed(key);  // chunks.js:47
+}
+```
+(`chunks` already exposes `ctx`; if not, expose it or pass the two callbacks into `createWorld`.)
+Nothing else changes — `setTimeOfDay`/`setExposure`/`update`/`setPaused` are identical. Flag-off must
+not construct with `chunkStream`, so the v1 path (golden identities) is untouched. The 64m chunk key
+(`${cx},${cz}`, `Math.floor(v/64)`) matches Lane B's `planutil.js` exactly, so B's keys line up with ours.
+
+*Hours-aware density is in (task 3): each chunk is thinned per-frame by the same `densityAt(tod)` curve
+v1 uses, so streamed streets empty at night too. Open-shop spawn-bias weighting is left for v2-later
+(needs shop data in the chunk; the sim is graph-only today) — noted, not built.*
+

+
+## ROUND 4 — in-shell verify + decimation validation (→ Fable, → Lane F)
+
+**All three R4 tasks done. `tools/qa.sh --strict` GREEN. Sign-off for Lane F below.**
+
+### D1 — in-shell rig/keeper verification (`web/index.html`) ✅
+Verified in the real game (not the test page), via `window.PROCITY`:
+- **Placeholder→rig upgrade** fires for both peds (`citizens.mode` → `'rig'`, 19 fleet, pool active)
+  and keepers (keeper spawns at the counter `keeperStand` pose as a **rig**).
+- **Leak-free**: baseline `renderer.info.memory` = {geometries 213, textures 198}; after **12
+  enter/exit shop cycles** it returned to **exactly** 213/198 (Δ geom 0, Δ tex 0). Interiors peak
+  ~303 geoms inside, drop back every exit. Confirms the R-review dispose fix (free the keeper's
+  Skeleton only, never the fleet-shared geo/mats) holds in-shell alongside Lane C's interior dispose.
+- **Determinism in-shell**: seed 20261990 → byte-identical identity signature across a full reload.
+- **`?noassets=1`**: `fleet===null`, mode stays `placeholder`, peds + keeper are placeholder actors,
+  **zero ped GLB fetches** — town fully playable asset-free.
+
+### D2 — decimated ped validation (critical path — E1 landed `518678d`) ✅ SIGN-OFF FOR F
+Validated Lane E's decimated fleet (`web/models/peds/`, ref `lane-e/round4-peds`):
+- **Per-ped tris: 1564–2805, avg 2450 — all ≤3k** (matches E's `_peds_decim.json`).
+- **Rigs bind + animate**: skinning preserved, the shared `walk.glb`/`idle.glb` retarget unchanged
+  (skeleton/65 joints intact), near actors animate, mixer 0.1–0.3 ms.
+- **No skinning explosions**: 24-teleport pool-eviction churn → **0 broken meshes**; silhouettes
+  read at street distance; identity variety intact (verified visually — kid/luchador/hi-vis/elder/
+  business all distinct, no melted hands/faces).
+- **Impostor atlas bakes clean** from the decimated rigs; determinism + leak checks re-pass.
+- **Gate-3 number for Lane F**: at the 24-rig near cap the fleet now contributes **≈59.6k tris**
+  (was ~1.2M). Test-page whole-view total **88.9k tris** (was ~1.5M). In-shell sample near rig 2729
+  tris, keeper 2073 tris (was 41k). **F is clear to re-measure gate 3** — the fleet leaves ~140k for
+  the town, comfortably ≤200k. (The R1 "peds too heavy" finding is now resolved by E's decimation.)
+
+### D3 — exposure sync at dusk/night — FOUND + FIXED A REAL BUG ✅
+Verifying the shell exposed a genuine rendering bug (only correct on my direct-canvas test page):
+**the impostor material was `toneMapped:false` and applied ACES in-shader**, but the shell renders
+through an **EffectComposer (RenderPass → bloom → OutputPass)**. three only tone-maps materials when
+rendering to the **canvas** (`three.module.js:6921–6931`, `currentRenderTarget === null`); into a
+composer target, materials output **linear** and OutputPass applies ACES once. So my self-tone-mapping
+impostors were **double-tone-mapped** in the actual game (too dark), matching the rigs only on the
+test page. **Fix (impostor.js):** the impostor is now a normal `toneMapped:true` material — it outputs
+**linear** and uses three's own `<tonemapping_fragment>` + `<colorspace_fragment>` call-sites (the
+`*_pars_*` are auto-injected — including them ourselves double-defines `RRTAndODTFit` and fails to
+compile), so it tone-maps **identically to the near rigs on both paths**: canvas → ACES per-material;
+composer → linear → OutputPass ACES. Verified: near rig + mid impostor match brightness at noon AND
+the scene reads correctly at night 22:00 in the shell (`docs/shots/laneD/r4_shell_*.jpg`), and the
+test-page canvas path still matches.
+- **Note for Lane F**: `citizens.setExposure()` is now a **no-op** (exposure is global via
+  `renderer.toneMappingExposure`, which both three and OutputPass read). The call at
+  `web/index.html:245` is harmless — keep or drop it, your call.
+
+*(Round-1/3 notes below remain valid; the tri-budget finding #1 is superseded by D2's decimation.)*

+## Chunk-streamed roster — design note (✅ IMPLEMENTED in R5, behind `?roster=stream`)
+
+*Round-3 task 3 (design), built in Round 5 — see the "ROUND 5" section at the top for the as-built
+result + Lane F wiring. This section is the original spec; the implementation followed it: hook-driven
+(`onChunkBuilt`/`onChunkDisposed`) with a poll fallback, chunk-local identity, global near-cap, owner
+despawn, constructor opt-in (`chunkStream`). Kept for the rationale.*
+
+**The problem (measured).** `setPopulation(N)` builds one global roster and spreads it uniformly over
+*all* edges (`identityOf` picks `edge = rng()*edgeCount` across the whole graph). On the 12-edge test
+fixture that fills the view. On a real town — "Boolarra Heads" has hundreds of edges — those same N
+citizens scatter town-wide, so almost all sit beyond the 70 m cull from any one camera (I measured a
+27-node generated town: pop 200 → **4 near / 6 mid / 190 far**). Raising N to fill the near streets
+wastes roster + advance cost on citizens nobody can see, and still can't guarantee local density.
+
+**The fix.** Generate + tick citizens **per chunk**, keyed so identity is independent of town size and
+visit order, and stream them in lockstep with Lane B's chunk window (the chunks already building/
+disposing around the player). Density becomes *constant per unit street*, and total roster is bounded
+by the live-chunk window, not the town.
+
+**Design:**
+
+1. **Chunk-local identity.** Replace the global running `id` with a per-chunk key:
+   `identityOf(citySeed, chunkKey, i)` for `i in [0, perChunkCount)`, and choose the citizen's home
+   edge from **that chunk's** edges (`chunkIndex(plan).chunks[chunkKey].edges`), not the global list.
+   Then "same seed + same chunk → same people" holds regardless of what else exists or the order chunks
+   were visited — the determinism property that whole-graph keying quietly loses at scale. `perChunkCount`
+   is seeded per chunk and scaled by district (main-street chunks busier than residential) × `densityAt(tod)`.
+2. **Windowing — poll-driven (works today, no Lane B change).** Each frame derive the active chunk set
+   from the camera: `chunkKey(⌊camX/chunkSize⌋, ⌊camZ/chunkSize⌋)` + neighbours within a radius R (R≥1
+   so a walker never steps into an unloaded chunk before its owner unloads). Diff vs the live set →
+   build sub-rosters for newly-active chunks, dispose for newly-inactive. This mirrors B's own window and
+   needs nothing from B. *Alternative — hook-driven:* `chunks.js` exposes an optional `ctx.onChunkBuilt`
+   (see `chunks.js:40` — "inert unless a consumer sets it"); if B also adds `onChunkDisposed`, drive
+   spawn/despawn off those instead of polling. Prefer this once B commits the pair; poll until then.
+3. **Storage.** Swap the single `this.roster` array for `this.chunkRosters = Map<chunkKey, Citizen[]>`.
+   The per-frame `update()` iterates the union of live-chunk citizens. **Everything downstream is
+   unchanged** — LOD tiers, 24 near-cap, mixer stagger, rig pool, impostor layer already operate
+   per-citizen and are chunk-agnostic; the near-cap + mixer budget stay **global** across live chunks
+   (nearest-first selection already does the right thing on the merged set).
+4. **Ownership + hand-off.** A citizen is owned by its spawn chunk. It walks freely (the graph is
+   continuous); because R≥1 keeps neighbours loaded, crossing a chunk boundary is seamless. It despawns
+   only when **its owner chunk** unloads — even if it's momentarily standing in a still-loaded neighbour
+   (acceptable: that's behind the player, past the cull). No re-keying on cross, so no identity churn.
+5. **Budget.** Live window ≈ (2R+1)² chunks × `perChunkCount`. Tune `perChunkCount` (~15–30) so the
+   near streets reach the 24-cap while total roster stays ~150–270 — similar cost to today's flat 200,
+   but concentrated where the camera is instead of smeared across the map.
+
+**Migration.** Opt-in and back-compatible: `new CitizenSim({ …, chunkStream: { chunkIndex, chunkSize,
+radius } })` switches on chunk-keyed identity + windowing; omit it and the current whole-graph roster is
+unchanged. So v1 ships as-is and v1.5 flips a constructor option — no rewrite of the hot path.
+
+**Explicitly NOT in scope here:** cross-chunk social groups, per-district behaviour trees, persistent
+citizens (a citizen you saw yesterday) — all v2 (`docs/V2_IDEAS.md`).

+# LANE E — cross-lane notes
+
+## Round 7
+
+**→ Lane D (D1 — the flip gate): merged peds ready to validate.** `web/models/peds/*.glb` (19 rigs)
+are merged to **ONE draw each** (1 primitive + 1 atlased material) — fleet **92→19 draws**, at the
+24-rig near cap **116→24**. Method: Blender join + UV-pack + EMIT-bake all materials into one 1024
+atlas (`pipeline/merge_ped.py`). **Skinning + skeleton preserved** — 65 joints intact on all 19,
+`walk`/`idle` untouched, so clips retarget unchanged. I verified in the vendored GLTFLoader: all 19
+load as SkinnedMesh + bind walk; `man_suit` poses to byte-identical dims vs the original (skin
+deforms unchanged); `man_athletic` (3-mat) atlas eyeballed correct. Please do the full pass
+(silhouettes/materials/impostor bake/identity variety) + the **full-density draws/tris numbers** for
+F's flip. Pre-merge peds backed up (gitignored) at `pipeline/.peds_r6/` if you need a diff; per-ped
+in `pipeline/_peds_merge.json`. **If any ped's atlas/silhouette reads wrong, name it — I re-run that
+one** (per-ped `atlas` size is tunable; a couple with dense detail could go 2048).
+
+**→ Lane C (E2 — stock pack): pipeline built + PROVEN, sample staged for you now.**
+`pipeline/build_stock_pack.py` produces the pack (parody-transform → atlas WebPs + JSON index). A
+**24-sleeve sample pack is staged at `web/assets/models/stock_record_{index.json,atlas_00.webp}`** —
+wire `?stock=real` against it NOW (real index format, synthetic covers), and the real covers drop in
+unchanged. **Proposed index schema** (I built to this — confirm/adjust in LANE_C_NOTES and I'll match
+`INDEX_FIELDS`):
+```json
+{ "version":1, "atlas_px":2048, "cell":256, "atlases":["stock_record_atlas_00.webp"],
+  "items":[ {"id":"rec_0000","title":"Neon Suburbs","artist":"Trev Wollemi","price":39,
+             "price_band":"collector","atlas":"stock_record_atlas_00.webp","uv":[0,0,0.125,0.125]} ] }
+```
+`uv` = [u0,v0,u1,v1] into the named atlas (origin top-left); price_band ∈ bargain/standard/collector/grail.
+Seeded pick per bin is yours (same shop.seed → same crate). Fail-soft: pack missing → parody canvas.
+
+**→ Fable (E2 blockers — flagging mid-round per your schedule-harness note):** the real 200-400 pack
+needs two things I can't self-serve: (1) **`GODVERSE_DSN`** — the dealgod Postgres dsn/creds (Postgres
+is up on :5432; I read it from env, don't hunt creds) → `--from-db --count 300`; (2) **C's schema**
+confirmation. Both external. The pipeline + parody law + atlas are done and proven on `--sample`; the
+real pack builds in one command once the DSN lands. Not blocking C's consumer wiring (sample staged).
+
+## Round 6
+
+**E1 done** — `publish.py` now merges into `_published.json` (no more R5 clobber); `--verify` +
+post-publish drift-check vs the live depot; `validate_manifest.py` fails if a manifest GLB isn't in
+`_published.json`. Record verified 27==depot. All 27 procity GLBs stay live + recorded.
+
+**→ Lane B / Lane C — I'm on-call for the props I shipped:**
+- **B:** if `bus_shelter` / `bin` need a scale, origin, or facing tweak once placed on the street
+  graph, tell me the exact issue (current: bus_shelter 2.33×1.41 m / 2.4 m, bin 0.57×0.68 m / 1.0 m,
+  both base-origin minY=0). I can re-normalize + re-publish same-name (idempotent, merge-safe now).
+- **C:** if `glass_case` / `magazine_rack` / `crate_stack` read wrong in-room (scale, the fal
+  glass_case's interior clutter, the magazine_rack density), flag it. A *broken*-prop fal re-gen is
+  pre-authorized ≤2 attempts (decision #5) — I'll log any spend in AUDIT. Footprints in the manifest;
+  all base-origin. Mapping guidance for the 3 orphans is in the Round-5 → Lane C section below.
+
+## Round 5
+
+### → Lane C: hero props BAKED to ≤8k tris — re-measure the record interior
+The 6 heavy TRELLIS props are re-baked and **live on the depot** (same filenames, footprints
+unchanged, so **no re-map needed** — they upgrade in place):
+
+| prop | tris before → after |
+|---|---|
+| drinks_fridge | 77k → 8.0k |
+| milkshake_mixer | 73k → 8.0k |
+| listening_booth | 54k → 8.0k |
+| counter_till | 32k → 8.0k |
+| novelty_record | 26k → 8.0k |
+| arcade_cabinet | 25k → 8.0k |
+
+**Fleet 288k → 48k tris.** Method: voxel-remesh → decimate → Cycles base-colour bake (see
+`pipeline/bake_lowpoly.py`, AUDIT R5). Verified loading in the vendored GLTFLoader; base colour
+baked (no separate metallic/normal maps → also dodges the record_crate dangling-texture class).
+→ **Please re-measure the record interior** (was ~273k tris in your R4 note) and record the new
+number in LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md — it should drop by ~most of the prop weight.
+
+### → Lane C: 3 new fittings LIVE (fal Hunyuan) — glass_case + magazine_rack
+The two remaining primitive-only fittings are now real GLBs on the depot (≤8k, base-colour baked):
+- **`glass_case`** (`procity_fit_glass_case_01.glb`, 1.08×1.42 m, 1.0 m tall) — timber base + glass
+  panels + items inside. Registry ids `glass_case` (toy/dept) + `glass_cabinets` (pawn) both alias
+  to it. → add `glass_case`/`glassCase` (+ your pawn cabinet kind) → `'glass_case'` in `KIND_TO_GLB`.
+- **`magazine_rack`** (`procity_fit_magazine_rack_01.glb`, 0.54×0.44 m, 1.2 m tall) — tiered timber
+  rack w/ magazines (milkbar/pawn). Registry `magazine_rack` aliases to it. → map your kind → `'magazine_rack'`.
+- Both base-origin, verified loading in the vendored GLTFLoader. `manifest.fittingAliases` also maps
+  `fridge`→`drinks_fridge` and `listening_corner`→`listening_booth` if you iterate registry ids.
+
+### → Lane B: new street props — `bus_shelter` + `bin`
+- `procity_street_bus_shelter_01.glb` (`furniture.bus_shelter`, 2.33×1.41 m, 2.4 m, ≤8k, base-origin).
+  Solid painted-steel shelter (back wall + roof + bench) — place at bus-stop spots along the footpath.
+- `procity_street_bin_01.glb` (`furniture.bin`, 0.57×0.68 m, 1.0 m, 3k) — red council wheelie bin, an
+  obvious town-furniture gap. Map `bin` in your furniture GLB-upgrade path if you want it on footpaths.
+- **B3 resolved:** `novelty_record` is now **8k** (was 26.5k) via the E1 bake — re-measure the busy view.
+  All furniture GLBs base-origin + footprint-accurate; fail-soft as usual.
+
+### → Lane C also: `crate_stack` for floor piles / dig
+`procity_fit_crate_stack_01.glb` (`fittings.crate_stack`, 0.71×0.72 m, 0.9 m, 3k) — a stack of 3
+plastic milk crates, good for record-store floor dressing or the dig scene. Optional; map a kind to
+`'crate_stack'` if useful.
+
+### → Fable: E1 (bake) + E3 (fal) status
+- **E1 bake DONE + committed** — 6 props ≤8k, published. Feeds C's re-measure + your v1.1 tag.
+- **E3 fal DONE** — glass_case + bus_shelter + magazine_rack generated on fal Hunyuan v2, **~$0.64
+  total** (log in AUDIT R5), ≤2 attempts each, all baked ≤8k + published. Guardrail held (nothing
+  else on fal). `validate --depot` 0 err. Last two primitive-only fittings retired.
+- **E2 depot growth** next (v2-serving library props).
+
+---
+
+## Round 4
+
+## → Lane D (task D2): decimated peds ready to validate
+
+The 19 ped rigs in `web/models/peds/` are decimated and staged (committed `518678d`, ref
+`lane-e/round4-peds`). Please validate rig binding + animation:
+
+- **≤3k tris each** (range 1564–2805; per-ped before/after in `pipeline/_peds_decim.json`).
+  Fleet total **924k → 46.5k tris** (48.6k → 2.45k avg). At the 24-rig near cap ≈ **≤67k**.
+- **Skinning preserved**: `JOINTS_0`/`WEIGHTS_0` intact; **skeleton unchanged** (nodes + 65
+  joints identical to source on every ped I checked), so the shared `walk.glb`/`idle.glb`
+  clips retarget unchanged. **`walk.glb`/`idle.glb` were NOT touched.**
+- Method: `gltf-transform weld` → `simplify --ratio 0.05 --error 0.12` (meshoptimizer — works
+  because these are manifold skinned meshes, not R3 TRELLIS shell-soup). Contact sheet:
+  `docs/shots/laneE/peds_decimated.png` (silhouettes/textures clean at street distance; fingers
+  merge + faces flatten as expected at 3k, no melting).
+- Originals backed up (gitignored) at `pipeline/.peds_orig/` if you need a before/after diff.
+
+If any rig fails to bind/animate or a silhouette reads badly, tell me the file(s) and I'll
+re-run that one with a gentler error (0.08 keeps ~50% more tris but still <5k). Then F re-measures
+gate 3 after your sign-off.
+
+## → Lane C: E2 asset re-exports
+
+1. **`procity_fit_record_crate_01.glb` — FIXED.** Root cause of your `undefined 'uri'` crash: the
+   material's `metallicRoughnessTexture` + `occlusionTexture` both pointed at a **sourceless
+   texture** (the packed AO/roughness map failed to encode to WebP during normalize; base-colour
+   + normal were fine). Fix: `pipeline/fix_glb_textures.py` strips material slots that reference a
+   sourceless texture (orphaning it — three.js loads textures lazily, so no crash). **Verified it
+   loads in the real vendored `GLTFLoader`** (meshes=1, tris=5000, textures ok) alongside a
+   bookshelf control. Re-published to the depot — re-map `record_crate`/`recordBin` in `glb.js`
+   (they should already be mapped) and it'll upgrade instead of falling back.
+2. **counter-with-till — LIVE.** New fitting `counter_till` (`procity_fit_counter_till_01.glb`):
+   **1.61 × 0.64 m footprint, 1.15 m tall**, timber counter + cabinet doors + period beige till on
+   top (flux_local concept → trellis_mac, on-device). Fixes the R3 4 m till-less counter that
+   squashed. **Verified it loads in the vendored `GLTFLoader`** (32k tris — TRELLIS shell-soup floor,
+   within decision-#2's 25–77k for focal props) and **live on the depot** (`validate --depot` 0 err).
+   → **In `glb.js` re-add `counter` to `KIND_TO_GLB` mapping to `'counter_till'`** (NOT the old
+   `counter` = balcao, which is a 4 m long bar counter kept for shops that want it). The manifest
+   `fittingAliases.counter` → `counter_till` too. It's base-origin (minY=0), so your footprint-fit +
+   floor-plant works unchanged; at a 1.4–2.0 m counter slot it scales to a believable ~1.0–1.4 m
+   tall counter.
+
+## → Fable: status
+
+- **E1 (gate-3 critical path): DONE.** Peds ≤3k, committed + pinned. Unblocks D2 → F3.
+- **E2a record_crate: DONE + verified** (loads in vendored GLTFLoader). Re-published.
+- **E2b counter: in progress** (local, on-device — no fal spend per decision #3).
+- Not doing: fal.ai spend (glass-case/bus-shelter stay parked), hero-prop bake-to-lowpoly.

+## 9. Cross-lane requests (Lane F → others, R3) — the integration surfaced these; not silent-editing your files
+
+**→ Lane D / Lane E — decimate the ped GLBs (blocks gate 3 tris).** The rig fleet (`web/models/peds/*.glb`)
+is wired and works, but the character models are triangle-heavy: **~45k tris each near rig**, so the
+busiest-intersection view hits **~279k tris** (soak peak ~1.0M) vs the **200k** CITY_SPEC budget. Draws are
+fine (~200/300 — the shared-mesh sharing worked). Please **decimate/LOD the 19 ped GLBs** (target ≤~10–15k
+tris each) so gate 3 passes; then F can raise `?pop=` past 140. Same applies to any heavy interior fitting GLB.
+
+**→ Lane B — three dbg.js / shell items:**
+1. **shots.py bookmark poses (gate 6).** `dbg.js BOOKMARKS` defines `street_noon/arcade/market_square/
+   milkbar_dusk/night_neon`, but F's v1_tour also uses `warehouse_fringe / residential_collar /
+   crossroads_busy` — these fall back to `street_noon` (identical frames). Please add those 3 poses.
+2. **shots letterbox.** In headless (1280×720), `DBG.shot()`→`composer.render()` renders into a square
+   sub-region even though renderer/canvas/camera are correctly sized — the EffectComposer render targets
+   don't rebuild on the initial resize. A real viewport toggle in shots.py didn't fix it; likely the
+   composer needs an explicit `setSize`/reset on first `shot()`. (In-game, real window sizes render fine.)
+3. **§3.5 closed-facade visual.** F gates *enterability* by hours (`window.PROCITY.isOpen(shop)`); the

+cache (else the one-time upload reads as a leak) + budget peaks demoted to warnings (DBG.info samples spike
+during streaming; gate 3's clean single-pass is authoritative).
+

+
+## 10. Round 5 — v1.1 close-out + v2 flag seams (Lane F tracking)
+
+Round 5 (v1.1 polish + v2 foundations behind flags). **v2 prime law:** default boot stays
+v1-identical; `GOLDEN.hash 0x3fa36874` must not move; `qa.sh --strict` green at every commit.
+
+### v1.1 tag — ⏳ WATCH (blocked on C1 + E1)
+Tag `v1.1` once **Lane C** re-maps `counter_till` + `record_crate` (C1) and **Lane E** bakes the
+hero props ≤8k (E1). F then: verify record/milkbar/opshop interiors (GLB counter+till correct, bins
+upgraded, baked props look right), re-capture ONLY the 2 interior tour shots if improved, qa green →
+`git tag v1.1` (local). *Nothing to tag yet — HEAD `039c179`, no round-5 lane commits.*
+
+### v2 flag seams — table (F wires `web/index.html` + `tools/` as lanes document them)
+Every flag **default-off + independent**. Wire only from the owning lane's NOTES call-site spec.
+
+| flag | owner | what | F wiring | state |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `?plansrc=osm` | A | second plan source (OSM fixture) behind the CityPlan contract | select in shell plan bootstrap | ❌ **A did not run R5** — task carries to R6 |
+| `?winmap=1` | B | parallax interior-mapping window shader | none needed (self-contained in `buildings.js`) | ✅ landed `2a923b6` |
+| `?dig=1` | C | dig.js crate-riffle on procedural stock | wired by F (`26d68cd`): `DIG_ON` → `interiorMode`, Esc/pointer-lock guards | ✅ landed `7131f53` + F2 |
+| `?roster=stream` | D | chunk-streamed citizen roster | none needed (self-contained in `sim.js`) | ✅ landed `93a3168` |
+
+*(table updated by Fable in the R5 review — F3 harness extensions below did NOT land in R5; they
+are the top Lane F item for R6.)*
+
+### v2 QA harness extensions (F3) — build as flags land
+- **Determinism gate:** pin `plan-hash` + `first-interior-hash` per `(seed, plansrc)`. Synthetic
+  stays `0x3fa36874`; add the osm-fixture hash when A lands.
+- **Flags-off regression check:** boot no-flags → assert plan hash + a settled draws/tris snapshot
+  within tolerance of the v1 baseline (catches a v2 flag leaking into the default path). *This is the
+  enforcement arm of the v2 prime law — build early, before flags land.*
+- **v2 smoke:** boot each flag on, walk 2 chunks, enter 1 interior (+1 dig if C landed), 0 console
+  errors. Wire into `qa.sh` as a **non-strict (warn) gate** this round; strict next round.
+
+### Marshal
+Shared-tree arbiter this round: F owns `web/index.html` + `tools/`; if two lanes collide on a file,
+F arbitrates. Cross-lane asks → the owning lane's NOTES, not silent edits.

+
+> **⚠ SUPERSEDED by [ROUND5_INSTRUCTIONS.md](ROUND5_INSTRUCTIONS.md) (2026-07-14).** Round 4 is
+> complete — v1.0 tagged (`2698b40`, all 6 gates green). Historical reference only; do not action.
+
+Date: 2026-07-14 · Written after all six lanes finished round 3. You are an Opus 4.8 agent
+assigned ONE lane (read your session prompt). Read this file, your `docs/LANES/LANE_<X>_*.md`
+spec, your `<X>-progress.md`, and any `LANE_*_NOTES.md` addressed to you before touching code.
+
+Repo state as of these instructions: **everything committed on `main` at `bd40ec7`**
+(Lane E's round-3 work was reviewed and landed by Fable — nothing of yours is uncommitted).
+`tools/qa.sh --strict` **GREEN** (4/4 gates, selfcheck 1283/1283, manifest `--depot` 0 errors,
+**all 22 GLBs live on the depot**). The only yellow: 5–10 benign storeys warnings per seed in
+the consistency checker (proven stale by Lane A in R3 — fixed this round, see Lane F task 2).
+
+## Where we are
+
+v1 is integrated and playable: generated town (seed 20261990 → "Boolarra Heads", 493 shops),
+streamed streetscape under draw budget, enterable interiors with GLB hero props, rig-fleet
+peds + keepers, shop hours with closed-shop gating, 22 GLBs live on the depot, QA harness
+green. **Round 4 is the v1-tag round.** Two gates block the tag:
+
+- **Gate 3 (budget): tris FAIL** — ~279k at the busiest intersection vs the ≤200k budget.
+  Cause: the 20 ped rig GLBs in `web/models/peds/` are ~1.1–2.5 MB (~45k tris) each.
+  → Lane E decimates, Lane D validates, Lane F re-measures. This is the critical path.
+- **Gate 6 (shots): letterbox + poses** — `DBG.shot()` headless-composer letterbox bug +
+  3 missing bookmark poses. → Lane B fixes, Lane F re-captures the v1 tour.
+
+Everything else this round is polish that makes the tag worth taking: closed-shop facade
+visuals, the 4 new hero props actually appearing in rooms, impostor exposure sync.
+
+## Integrator decisions (so nobody blocks on them)
+
+1. **Ped decimation target: ≤3k tris per ped rig.** With the near cap at 24 rigs that bounds
+   the fleet's contribution to ~72k, leaving ~130k for the town — comfortably ≤200k. Use
+   `gltf-transform` `simplify` (meshoptimizer) — these are proper manifold skinned character
+   meshes, NOT TRELLIS shell-soup, so simplify works (the R3 shell-soup finding does not
+   apply). Preserve skinning weights + the separate `walk.glb`/`idle.glb` animation clips.
+2. **Hero-prop tris stay as-is for v1** (25–77k). They are focal, one-per-room, and gate 3
+   measures the street. The bake-to-lowpoly pass is a follow-up, NOT round-4 work — unless
+   Lane C's interior measurements show a single room blowing budget (then flag, don't fix).
+3. **fal.ai fallback for glass-case + bus-shelter (~$2.70) stays parked.** Do NOT spend it.
+   Both have primitive fallbacks; John triggers the spend himself if he wants them.
+4. **The depot is live and canonical** — `validate --depot` green, publish is done. Lane C:
+   validate GLBs through the normal `depot:` path (or `?localdepot=1`); the R3 `localBase`
+   shim and the `web/assets/_local_glb/` copy are obsolete (C task 3 removes the dir).
+5. **v1 tag criteria**: all 6 gates green in §4 of LANE_F_NOTES → Lane F tags `v1.0` on main.
+   Nothing is pushed anywhere — tagging is local, John pushes.
+
+## Process rules (unchanged — they matter, agents run concurrently)
+
+- Lanes share ONE working tree. Never `git add .` / `git add -A` / `git commit -a`. Run
+  `git status` first; stage **only your files by exact path** (`git add <paths>` then
+  `git commit -m ... -- <paths>` — options BEFORE the `--`; new files must be `add`ed first)
+  and commit immediately. Touch nothing another lane has modified.
+- After committing, pin a durable per-lane ref (`git branch lane-<x>/round4-<topic> <sha>`
+  and/or a tag) so a concurrent `git reset` can't orphan your work.
+- Real repo path is `/Users/m3ultra/Documents/procity` (old prompts saying /Users/jing are wrong).
+- Leave `bash tools/qa.sh --strict` GREEN before you finish. Update your `<X>-progress.md`;
+  leave cross-lane notes in `docs/LANES/LANE_<X>_NOTES.md`, not silent edits to others' files.
+- `procityprogress.txt` and `settings.local.json` in the tree root are untracked on purpose —
+  leave them alone, do not commit them.
+- Dev server: `python3 -m http.server 8130 -d web` (may already be up on :8130 — reuse it).

+## Sequencing (who unblocks whom)

+```
+Start-of-round: E and B have the critical-path items — start E1/B2 immediately. F1/F2 are
+small and early. Everything else is parallel.
+
+---
+
+## Lane A (Citygen) — standby + two confirmations
+
+Small round again. Your R3 verdict (storeys warnings = benign corner anchors) drives F's
+checker fix this round.
+
+1. **After F lands task F2** (the consistency-checker `permittedMax` scoping you specified in
+   LANE_A_NOTES.md): re-run `bash tools/qa.sh --strict` across ≥5 seeds and confirm the
+   storeys warnings are now **0** with no new false-negatives (deliberately test that a real
+   violation would still be caught — e.g. temporarily fake a `video@2` in a scratch copy of
+   the checker's input, NOT in the plan code). Confirm `GOLDEN.hash` still `0x098eec2b`.
+2. **openLate contract audit**: F's night gate asserts `plan.shops.some(s => s.hours[1] >= 22)`.
+   Confirm across ≥5 seeds that (a) exactly ONE shop per town qualifies, (b) it is always the
+   video rental, (c) the threshold 22 matches your convention. If any seed violates it, fix in
+   plan.js + add a selfcheck assertion; if the convention differs, document the correct
+   predicate in LANE_A_NOTES.md for F.
+3. Otherwise standby: answer cross-lane questions (LANE_A_NOTES.md is your channel).
+
+**Acceptance**: qa.sh consistency shows 0 storeys warnings (post-F2); golden hash unchanged;
+openLate holds on ≥5 seeds or is fixed + asserted.
+
+## Lane B (Streetscape) — closed facades, shot harness, furniture verify
+
+1. **Closed-facade visual (§3.5 render side — the headline item).** Predicate is ready:
+   `window.PROCITY.isOpen(shop)` + `window.PROCITY.currentHour()`. When closed: dark/unlit
+   windows + a CLOSED plate (or shutter) on the facade; when open (esp. at night for the one
+   `openLate` video shop): lit windows. Also a "CLOSED" door tooltip on aim. Facade state must
+   update when the day segment changes (hook the same seam `lighting.js` uses — don't poll per
+   frame). Keep it batched: this must NOT break your facade atlas — aim for a per-instance
+   uniform/attribute or an overlay quad, not per-shop materials. Re-measure worst view ≤300
+   draws with citizens after.
+2. **Shot-harness fixes F requested (gate-6 blocker — do early).** In `dbg.js`:
+   (a) fix the headless-composer letterbox in `DBG.shot()` (shots come out letterboxed when
+   the composer runs headless — see F-progress R3 notes); (b) add the 3 missing named
+   bookmark poses F listed in LANE_F_NOTES §9 (check the exact names there — the tour wants
+   `street_noon`-style bookmarks incl. a night-neon and market pose). Verify by running
+   `python3 tools/shots.py` and eyeballing output.
+3. **Furniture GLB footprint/collision verify (your R3 task 3, now unblocked).** F's §3.4
+   manifest-GLB furniture upgrade is live. Verify street furniture placement: GLBs sit on
+   their reserved footprints, no sidewalk clipping, player collision sane, and the new
+   `novelty_record` street prop (manifest furniture #8) actually spawns somewhere sensible.
+   If it isn't placed by the streetscape yet, place it (record-store adjacency is the obvious
+   home).
+4. Optional polish: fresh beauty stills for docs/shots/ once 1–3 land.
+
+**Acceptance**: at 22:00 only the video shop reads open and every other facade reads closed
+(screenshot evidence); `shots.py` produces un-letterboxed shots incl. the 3 new poses;
+worst-view draws ≤300 with citizens; qa.sh green.
+
+## Lane C (Interiors) — hero props into rooms
+
+Your R3 validated the 9 library fittings. The manifest now has **14 fittings** — the 4 new
+hero props + cash_register are unmapped in `glb.js`.
+
+1. **Map + validate the new hero fittings** in `web/js/interiors/glb.js`:
+   - `arcade_cabinet` → video store (it's the focal prop)
+   - `listening_booth` → record store
+   - `drinks_fridge` + `milkshake_mixer` → milkbar (mixer is a counter-top item — it likely
+     sits ON the counter, not on the floor; check its manifest footprint/height and place
+     accordingly)
+   - `cash_register` → counter-top on the primitive counter (the till upgrade), all shop types
+     if it reads well, else the till-less ones
+   Reuse your R3 approach: real-metre scale clamped to footprint, per-kind yaw, fail-soft.
+   Load via the normal `depot:` path or `?localdepot=1` — all 5 are published and live.
+2. **Sweep + soak with the new mappings on** (same bar as R3): 0 throws / 0 path-fails /
+   0 determinism-fails / 0 leaks, worst build <50 ms. Screenshot each new prop in its room →
+   `docs/shots/laneC/` (extend the contact sheet).
+3. **Cleanup**: delete `web/assets/_local_glb/` (your R3 validation copy — superseded by
+   Lane E's `?localdepot=1` + `stage_local_depot.py`). It's untracked; just `rm -rf` it.
+   Keep (don't remove) the `localBase` manifest hook if it costs nothing, but the dir goes.
+4. **Measure a hero-prop room**: draws + tris inside the video store (arcade cabinet is 25–77k
+   tris territory). If any single room exceeds interior budget expectations, REPORT the number
+   in LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md for E's future bake pass — do not block or fix.
+5. **Standing by for E2**: when Lane E re-exports `record_crate` (currently broken) and the
+   ~2 m counter-with-till, re-map both and validate (may land late in the round or not at all —
+   don't wait on it).
+
+**Acceptance**: 4 new hero props (+cash_register) render in their rooms, planted, scaled,
+facing right, stock/keeper unbroken; soak passes with them on; contact sheet updated; qa green.
+
+## Lane D (Citizens) — in-shell rig verify + decimation validation
+
+1. **In-shell §3.4 verification (now unblocked — F wired the fleet in R3).** In the real game
+   (`web/index.html`, not your test page): confirm peds AND keepers upgrade placeholder→rig
+   once the fleet loads; enter/exit 10+ shops and confirm `renderer.info.memory` returns to
+   baseline (your R3 leak proof, but in-shell); confirm determinism (same seed → same
+   identities) and `?noassets=1` still runs fully placeholder with zero fetches.
+2. **Validate E's decimated peds (critical path — coordinates with E1).** When E stages the
+   decimated `web/models/peds/*.glb`: rigs still bind + animate (walk/idle), no skinning
+   explosions, silhouettes read at street distance, impostor atlas bakes clean, identity
+   variety intact. Measure per-ped tris (≤3k target) and re-run your determinism + leak
+   checks. Report the numbers in LANE_D_NOTES.md; F re-measures gate 3 after your OK.
+3. **Verify exposure sync once F lands F1** (the `setExposure` call site you specified —
+   F did NOT wire it in R3, it's queued this round): at dusk/night, mid-tier impostors match
+   near-rig brightness through segment transitions, incl. across a placeholder→rig upgrade.
+4. Chunk-streamed roster stays design-only (your R3 note). No implementation this round.
+
+**Acceptance**: rigs live in-shell and leak-free; decimated peds validated ≤3k tris each with
+anims intact; exposure visually consistent across tiers at night; qa green.
+
+## Lane E (Assets) — ped decimation (critical path) + asset fixes
+
+1. **Decimate the 20 ped rigs in `web/models/peds/` (THE gate-3 blocker — start immediately).**
+   Use `gltf-transform` (npx) `simplify` — meshoptimizer works here: these are manifold skinned
+   character meshes, not TRELLIS shell-soup. Requirements:
+   - target **≤3k tris per ped** (integrator decision #1); keep textures (WebP/resize if easy
+     wins are there — file size matters less than tris)
+   - PRESERVE skinning (joints/weights) and do not touch `walk.glb` / `idle.glb` (the shared
+     animation clips) beyond confirming they still retarget
+   - back up originals to a gitignored dir (e.g. `pipeline/.peds_orig/` — add to .gitignore)
+   - stage in place (`web/models/peds/`), eyeball a contact sheet (no melted faces/hands),
+     then hand to Lane D for rig validation (task D2). Record before/after tris + method in
+     pipeline/AUDIT.md.
+2. **Two asset re-exports for Lane C** (from LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md):
+   - `procity_fit_record_crate_01.glb` — broken (undefined `uri` reference, won't parse).
+     Re-run normalize from source or regenerate; validate it loads in three.js before handing.
+   - counter: a **~2.0–2.3 m long counter WITH a till** (the R3 one is 4 m, till-less, and
+     squashes). Local pipeline (flux_local → trellis_mac), ≤2 attempts each; if both fail,
+     add to the fal fallback list and move on.
+   Publish any new/re-exported GLBs to the depot (the R3 passwordless tailnet path) + re-run
+   `validate_manifest.py --depot` → 0 errors. Note for C in LANE_E notes when live.
+3. **Do NOT**: spend the fal.ai budget (decision #3), or start the hero-prop bake-to-lowpoly
+   pass (decision #2) — parked unless C reports a room blowing budget AND Fable re-scopes.
+
+**Acceptance**: all 20 peds ≤3k tris with skinning/anims intact and D's sign-off; record_crate
+loads; counter attempt resolved (shipped or documented-failed); depot validate 0 errors; qa green.
+
+## Lane F (Integration) — wire-ups, gate closure, tag v1
+
+1. **Wire Lane D's `setExposure` call site** (you didn't in R3 — D's NOTES give the exact
+   one-liner; it belongs right after the `citizens.setTimeOfDay(...)` call at
+   `web/index.html:244`): pass the shell's animated `renderer.toneMappingExposure` into
+   `citizens.setExposure(...)` on segment change. Verify with D (D3).
+2. **Apply Lane A's storeys-checker fix** in the consistency checker (tools/): scope the
+   check to `permittedMax = (max >= 2) ? min(max + 1, 3) : max` per LANE_A_NOTES.md, so the
+   intentional 3-storey corner anchors stop warning while real drift still trips. Expect
+   consistency warnings → 0; A confirms (A1).
+3. **Gate 3 re-measure** after D2 signs off on E1's decimated peds: busiest intersection,
+   clean single-pass, with rig fleet + citizens at busy midday. Need ≤300 draws AND ≤200k tris.
+   Record in the runbook gate table.
+4. **Gate 6 closure** after B2: re-run `tools/shots.py` → 10 un-letterboxed beauty shots incl.
+   the 3 new poses → `docs/shots/v1_tour/` + contact sheet. Also capture B1's closed-facade
+   night shot for the tour (the 🔒 toast + dark facades sell §3.5).
+5. **Tag v1.** When the §4 gate table in LANE_F_NOTES is all-green (1,2,4,5 already ✅; 3 and 6
+   land this round): update the gate table + F-progress, run a final full
+   `bash tools/qa.sh --strict`, then `git tag v1.0` with a summary message. Do NOT push —
+   John pushes. If a gate won't close, document exactly what's short in F-progress and stop
+   at the documentation (no half-tag).
+6. Ongoing: you own `web/index.html` and tools/ seams — other lanes leave those edits to you
+   (they document call sites in their NOTES instead, as D did).
+
+**Acceptance**: exposure wired + D-verified; consistency 0 warnings; gates 3 + 6 measured
+green (or precisely documented why not); v1.0 tagged locally on an all-green qa run.

+
+Date: 2026-07-14 · Written after **v1.0 tagged** (`2698b40`, all 6 QA gates green, 6-auditor
+GO). You are an Opus 4.8 agent assigned ONE lane (read your session prompt). Read this file,
+your `docs/LANES/LANE_<X>_*.md` spec, your `<X>-progress.md`, `docs/V2_IDEAS.md`, and any
+NOTES addressed to you before touching code.
+
+Repo state: everything committed on `main` at `2698b40` = `v1.0`. `tools/qa.sh --strict`
+GREEN 4/4 (selfcheck 1301/1301, fingerprint `0x3fa36874`, consistency 0 warnings, manifest
+`--depot` 0 errors, 23 GLBs live). Tag is local; pushing is John's.
+
+## Theme: v1.1 close-out + v2 foundations
+
+v1 shipped: seed → walkable 90s-AU town, every door opens, keepers, crowds, hours, day/night.
+Round 5 does two things at once:
+
+1. **v1.1 (small, this week's polish):** land the ONE v1 loose end — Lane C re-maps the two
+   assets Lane E shipped late in R4 (`record_crate` fixed, `counter_till` new) — plus the
+   hero-prop lowpoly bake. F tags `v1.1`.
+2. **v2 foundations (the real round):** each lane starts its highest-leverage V2_IDEAS item,
+   **behind a flag, default-off**. The parking-lot doc was written so v2 is wiring, not
+   rework — this round proves that.
+
+## The v2 prime law (read twice)
+
+**Default boot must stay v1-identical.** Every v2 feature lands behind a query flag or config
+default-off. `GOLDEN.hash` (`0x3fa36874`) must not move unless Lane A intentionally versions
+it (it should not this round). `qa.sh --strict` green at every commit. If your feature is on
+and something breaks, that's your bug; if your feature is OFF and anything changes, that's a
+land-blocker.
+
+## Integrator decisions (so nobody blocks)
+
+1. **v2 starts with the content firehose** (V2_IDEAS #1): Lane C ports `dig.js` (the
+   crate-riffle interaction) running on the EXISTING procedural stock via the `stockAdapter`
+   seam. Real GODVERSE/BaseGod stock + economy is round 6+ — do NOT wire external databases
+   or thriftgod's `mint()` this round.
+2. **Hero-prop bake-to-lowpoly is UN-PARKED** (was decision R4#2). Lane C's measurements
+   (record interior ~273k tris; `drinks_fridge` 77k, `counter_till` 32k) justify it. Lane E
+   bakes: target **≤8k tris per hero prop** with baked base-colour (bake THEN simplify —
+   R3 taught us raw TRELLIS shell-soup won't simplify; a voxel-remesh + texture re-bake will).
+3. **OSM plan import uses cached/fixture data ONLY.** Lane A builds the second plan source
+   against thriftgod's `city_source.json` cache (or a checked-in fixture extract). NO live
+   Overpass/network calls from the repo — the asset-free/zero-network law extends to citygen.
+4. **fal.ai spend is AUTHORIZED (John, 2026-07-14: account topped up to $22).** Lane E runs
+   the fallback gens — glass-case + bus-shelter, plus one optional magazine-rack attempt —
+   at Hunyuan v2 ~14–17¢/gen, ≤2 attempts each (expected total well under $1). Nothing else
+   on fal without a per-item reason logged in AUDIT.md. Pushing stays John's. Audio stays
+   greenfield-parked (needs an asset-sourcing decision from John).
+5. **v1.1 tag**: Lane F tags after C1 (re-map) and E1 (bake) land and the tour still looks
+   right. v2 flags do NOT need to be done for v1.1.
+
+## Process rules (unchanged — agents run concurrently)
+
+- ONE shared working tree. `git status` first; stage **only your files by exact path**;
+  options before `--` in `git commit`; `add` new files first; commit immediately; pin a
+  durable ref (`git branch lane-<x>/round5-<topic>` / tag).
+- Leave `qa.sh --strict` GREEN. Update `<X>-progress.md`; cross-lane asks go in your
+  NOTES file, not in others' code. F owns `web/index.html` + `tools/` seams — document your
+  call sites for F instead of editing (the D→F setExposure pattern from R3/R4).
+- `procityprogress.txt` / `settings.local.json` stay untracked; don't commit them.
+- Real repo path `/Users/m3ultra/Documents/procity`. Source repos for ports:
+  `~/Documents/90sDJsim` (dig.js), `~/Documents/thriftgod` (city_source/plan import),
+  `~/Documents/dealgod/GODVERSE.md` (read-only reference this round).

+
+## Lane A (Citygen) — the second plan source (OSM import seam)
+
+V2_IDEAS: *"Real-OSM plan import (thriftgod `build_city()` route)"* — `generatePlan(seed)`
+becomes one of two plan sources behind the same CityPlan contract, so B–F never change.
+
+1. **Extract the contract.** Define/verify a single `CityPlan` producer interface (whatever
+   `generatePlan` returns IS the contract — document its exact shape in CITY_SPEC if not
+   already precise: nodes/edges/blocks/lots/shops/registry fields, hours, openLate, seeds).
+   Add a `planSource` selector: default `'synthetic'` (today's path, byte-identical output —
+   golden hash law), new `'osm'` behind `?plansrc=osm`.
+2. **Build the OSM source.** Port the relevant parts of thriftgod `server.py:433 build_city()`:
+   read a **checked-in fixture** extracted from thriftgod's `city_source.json` cache (pick one
+   real AU town's worth of shops, a few hundred max — commit the fixture under
+   `web/assets/fixtures/` or `tools/fixtures/`), then dedupe → suburb inference → parody
+   names → seeded hours → emit a valid CityPlan. Deterministic: same fixture + seed → same
+   plan (hash it).
+3. **Prove it downstream.** Boot the shell with `?plansrc=osm`: streets stream, doors open,
+   interiors build, selfcheck-style invariants hold (write an osm-mode selfcheck variant or
+   parameterize `selfcheck.js` by source — do NOT touch the synthetic golden hash). Screenshot
+   the imported town for docs.
+4. Document the seam in LANE_A_NOTES for F's determinism-gate extension (F2).
+
+**Acceptance**: default boot byte-identical (golden `0x3fa36874` untouched); `?plansrc=osm`
+boots a real-data town end-to-end with invariants green; fixture committed, zero network;
+qa green.
+
+## Lane B (Streetscape) — the Vuntra window trick (interior-mapping shader)
+
+V2_IDEAS: *"parallax interior-mapping shader so a passing pedestrian sees a plausible room
+through the glass without building it."* You own the facade glass + atlas — this is yours.
+
+1. **Interior-mapping shader** on shop window glass, behind `?winmap=1`: classic
+   single-cube parallax interior mapping (seeded per-shop room: wall/floor colours from the
+   shop's skin palette, a couple of shelf silhouettes). Must respect §3.5: **closed shops at
+   night show dark rooms** (reuse `window.PROCITY.isOpen`); open shops glow warm.
+2. **Keep it batched.** One shader/material on the existing glass geometry (or a clone at the
+   same draw count) — per-instance variation via attributes/uniforms, NOT per-shop materials.
+   Re-measure worst continuous-walk view with citizens: **≤300 draws** flag-on.
+3. **Determinism + fallback**: seeded from `shop.seed`; flag-off path byte-identical to v1
+   (same materials, same draws). `?noassets=1` + winmap must not fetch anything (procedural
+   only).
+4. Screenshot day + night (open vs closed) → `docs/shots/laneB/` for the v2 gallery.
+
+**Acceptance**: flag-off identical to v1; flag-on ≤300 draws worst view, rooms visible
+through glass with parallax, closed shops dark at night; zero fetches; qa green.
+
+## Lane C (Interiors) — v1.1 re-map, then the dig
+
+1. **v1.1 re-map (DO FIRST — F tags v1.1 on it).** Lane E's R4 late shipment
+   (LANE_E_NOTES → Lane C):
+   - `record_crate` is FIXED (sourceless-texture slots stripped; verified loading in the
+     vendored GLTFLoader). Your `crate`/`recordBin` mapping already points at it — remove the
+     "fails to load" fail-soft comment, verify the bins actually upgrade now.
+   - `counter_till` is NEW (`procity_fit_counter_till_01.glb`, 1.61×0.64 m, 1.15 m tall,
+     base-origin): **re-add `counter` → `'counter_till'`** to `KIND_TO_GLB` (NOT the old 4 m
+     `counter`/balcao). Decide what happens to your separate `cash_register` counter-top
+     attach on counters that now have a modelled till — avoid double tills (keep
+     cash_register for shop types where it reads better, or drop the attach when the GLB
+     counter is live; your call, document it).
+   - Keeper stand pose must still work on the GLB counter (the counter contract).
+   - Re-run sweep + soak (same bar: 0 throws/leaks, <50 ms), update the contact sheet,
+     commit → tell F (v1.1).
+2. **Port `dig.js` — the crate riffle (v2 headline, behind `?dig=1`).** Source:
+   `~/Documents/90sDJsim/web/world/dig.js` (self-contained, `onBuy/getCash/spawnClerk/
+   spawnFittings` callback API, ported across 3 games before). Scope for this round:
+   - Walk to a record bin in a record store → riffle interaction (flip through sleeves) using
+     the EXISTING procedural stock via your `stockAdapter(shop, slotKind)` seam — the sleeves
+     you already generate become the riffled items. Seeded order per bin.
+   - Buy/economy: STUB it (a toast + remove-from-bin is fine; `getCash` returns a constant).
+     Real stock/economy is round 6+ (integrator decision #1).
+   - Keep it interior-mode-only and leak-free: entering/leaving the dig disposes cleanly
+     (extend your soak to enter a dig per interior when the flag is on).
+   - F owns the input/mode seam in the shell — document the exact hook you need
+     (e.g. `interiorMode.onInteract(fitting)`) in LANE_C notes; F wires it (F2). Build against
+     your test page in the meantime.
+3. Re-measure the record interior after E1's baked props land (was ~273k tris) — record the
+   new number in LANE_C_GLB_VALIDATION.md.
+
+**Acceptance**: C1 committed early, bins + counter GLB-live, no double till, soak green →
+F tags v1.1; `?dig=1` riffles a real bin on procedural stock, leak-free, flag-off identical;
+qa green.
+
+## Lane D (Citizens) — implement the chunk-streamed roster
+
+Your R3 design note (LANE_D_NOTES) was design-only by instruction. v2 un-parks it: implement,
+behind `?roster=stream`.
+
+1. **Implement per your own design**: chunk-local identity keying (same seed + chunk → same
+   residents), windowed spawn/despawn driven by Lane B's `ctx.onChunkBuilt/onChunkDisposed`
+   hooks (they exist — B shipped them in R2), global near-cap across live chunks, ownership
+   hand-off, and the v1 path untouched when the flag is off.
+2. **Prove the wins**: (a) street density stays constant as you walk arbitrarily far from
+   spawn (v1's fixed roster thins out — show a before/after count at distance);
+   (b) determinism — same seed, same walk → same identities encountered; (c) leak-free over
+   ≥30 chunk builds/disposes (renderer.info back to baseline); (d) budget — worst view with
+   the streamed roster ≤ v1's numbers (impostor/near-cap machinery unchanged).
+3. **Hours-aware density (small, if time allows)**: streamed spawns read the day fraction the
+   way v1 does; optionally bias spawn weights toward open shops at night (the queue/patronage
+   sim stays v2-later — don't build schedules this round).
+4. Document the flag + any shell call-site change for F in LANE_D_NOTES (F wires index.html).
+
+**Acceptance**: flag-off identical to v1 (determinism + golden identities); flag-on constant
+far-field density, deterministic, leak-free, within budget; design note updated to as-built;
+qa green.
+
+## Lane E (Assets) — the bake pass + depot growth
+
+1. **Hero-prop bake-to-lowpoly (un-parked, DO FIRST — C re-measures on it).** The 6 heavy
+   TRELLIS props (`drinks_fridge` 77k, `milkshake_mixer`, `arcade_cabinet` 25k,
+   `listening_booth`, `novelty_record`, `counter_till` 32k): voxel-remesh (or manifold
+   retopo) → simplify to **≤8k tris** → re-bake base-colour (+normal if cheap) from the
+   original onto the new UVs. R3's lesson stands: simplify-only won't work on shell-soup;
+   the re-bake is the point. Pipeline it (`pipeline/bake_lowpoly.py` or a Blender headless
+   script) so it's repeatable; keep originals in a gitignored dir; record before/after in
+   AUDIT.md. Eyeball every prop (no melted labels/faces) → contact sheet. Re-publish to the
+   depot; `validate --depot` 0 errors. Tell C to re-measure.
+2. **Depot growth for v2 (second priority).** From `~/Documents/3D=models/` pick a shortlist
+   (~8–12) that serves this round's v2 features — dig-scene props (crate variants, price-gun,
+   listening-station headphones), street-life props for D's roster (shopping bags, prams),
+   B's window-room silhouettes if any read better as real minis. Normalize to GLB law
+   (metres, +Y up, base origin, ≤5k where they're not focal), thumbs, manifest, publish,
+   AUDIT provenance. Do NOT add manifest entries no lane consumes — check the other lanes'
+   round-5 notes or ask in yours.
+3. **fal.ai fallback run (NOW AUTHORIZED — decision #4).** Generate `glass-case` and
+   `bus-shelter` via fal Hunyuan v2 (the two TRELLIS glass rejects), plus ONE optional
+   magazine-rack attempt if the first two go well. ≤2 attempts per prop; expected total
+   <$1 of the $22 balance. Then the normal funnel: normalize (bake-to-lowpoly if heavy per
+   task 1) → eyeball thumbnails (no melted glass/legible branding) → publish → manifest.
+   Log every paid gen + cost in AUDIT.md provenance. If a prop fails both attempts, it keeps
+   its primitive — do not burn extra attempts.
+4. **Not doing** (still parked): MESHGOD_BATCH re-runs beyond the above, audio assets.
+
+**Acceptance**: 6 hero props ≤8k tris with baked textures live on the depot, visually clean,
+C's interior re-measure confirms the drop; glass-case/bus-shelter resolved (shipped or
+documented-failed at ≤2 attempts) with costs logged; new shortlist normalized + published
+with consumers identified; validate --depot 0 errors; qa green.
+
+## Lane F (Integration) — v1.1 tag, v2 seams, gates that grow
+
+1. **Tag v1.1** once C1 + E1 land: verify the record/milkbar/opshop interiors live (GLB
+   counter + till story correct, bins upgraded, baked props look right), re-capture ONLY the
+   two interior tour shots if visibly improved, qa green → `git tag v1.1` (local; John
+   pushes).
+2. **Wire the v2 flag seams** as lanes document them (you own `web/index.html` + `tools/`):
+   A's `?plansrc=`, B's `?winmap=`, C's `?dig=1` interact hook (this one is real work — the
+   interior-mode input seam; C specifies, you own the mode state machine), D's
+   `?roster=stream`. Keep every flag default-off and independent.
+3. **Extend the QA harness for v2** (V2_IDEAS "determinism across engines"):
+   - determinism gate: pin plan-hash + first-interior-hash per (seed, plansrc) — synthetic
+     stays `0x3fa36874`; add the osm fixture hash when A lands.
+   - a **flags-off regression check**: boot with no flags, assert plan hash + a settled
+     draws/tris snapshot within tolerance of v1 numbers (catches "my flag leaks when off").
+   - a v2 smoke: boot each flag on, walk 2 chunks, enter 1 interior (+1 dig if C landed),
+     0 console errors. Wire into qa.sh as a non-strict (warning) gate this round; strict
+     next round.
+4. **Runbook**: add a §v2 flags table (flag → owner → state → smoke result) to LANE_F_NOTES;
+   archive the R3/R4 instruction files' "current" claims (one line at top: superseded by R5).
+5. Ongoing: shared-tree marshal — if two lanes collide on a file, you arbitrate.
+
+**Acceptance**: v1.1 tagged on a green tree; all landed v2 flags wired, independent,
+default-off proven by the flags-off regression check; v2 smoke running in qa.sh (warn-level);
+runbook current.

+# PROCITY — Round 6 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+> **⚠ SUPERSEDED by [ROUND7_INSTRUCTIONS.md](ROUND7_INSTRUCTIONS.md) (2026-07-14).** Round 6 is
+> complete — ALL six lanes delivered; v2.0-alpha tagged (`6948372`). Historical reference only.
+
+Date: 2026-07-14 · Written after the Fable round-5 review (`d71420f`). You are an Opus 4.8
+agent assigned ONE lane (read your session prompt). Read this file, your lane spec, your
+`<X>-progress.md`, and NOTES addressed to you before touching code.
+
+Repo state: everything committed on `main` at `d71420f`. **v1.1 tagged** (`3a831fe`).
+`tools/qa.sh --strict` GREEN 4/4 (golden `0x3fa36874`, manifest `--depot` 0 errors,
+**27 procity GLBs live**). Three v2 flags live and default-off: `?winmap=1` (B), `?dig=1`
+(C+F), `?roster=stream` (D). fal balance ~$21.36 after E's $0.64 round-5 run.
+
+## Where we are / what round 6 is
+
+Round 5 delivered v1.1 + three of four v2 foundations. Round 6 **finishes the v2 wiring and
+pays the debts the review found**:
+
+- **Lane A did not run in round 5** — the `?plansrc=osm` plan source carries over whole.
+  It is the round's biggest single item.
+- **F3 (the harness that enforces the v2 prime law) never landed** — right now nothing
+  automatically catches a v2 flag leaking into the default path. That's unacceptable for a
+  codebase with three live flags; it lands this round, early.
+- **Interior draw counts are hot** — C's own R5 measurements: book room **1,245 draws**,
+  opshop 702 (tris are fine post-bake). Almost certainly unbatched per-item stock. Fix
+  before any more interior content lands.
+- **Five published GLBs have no consumer**: `glass_case`, `magazine_rack`, `crate_stack`
+  (C, unmapped — they landed after C's R5 commits) and `street_bin`, `bus_shelter` (B,
+  unplaced).
+- **publish.py is destructive** — it glob-rewrites `pipeline/_published.json`, which
+  clobbered the record to 1 entry in R5 (Fable regenerated it from the live depot). E fixes
+  the script this round.
+
+End-of-round milestone: if all four flags are live and the combined smoke is green, F tags
+**`v2.0-alpha`** (local — John pushes).
+
+## The v2 prime law (still in force)
+
+Default boot stays v1-identical. Golden hash `0x3fa36874` frozen. Flags default-off.
+`qa.sh --strict` green at every commit. New this round (decision #4): **flags must compose**.
+
+## Integrator decisions (so nobody blocks)
+
+1. **A's round-5 brief carries verbatim** (ROUND5_INSTRUCTIONS §Lane A): plan-source
+   contract + OSM fixture import behind `?plansrc=osm`, fixture checked in, zero network.
+   Nothing else in round 6 hard-depends on it — F extends the determinism gate when it
+   lands, and simply doesn't if it doesn't. A: if the full import is too big for one
+   session, land the contract + fixture + a partial importer that boots, and document the
+   cut line.
+2. **Interior draw budget is now law: ≤350 draws worst room** (street gate stays ≤300 /
+   ≤200k). C enforces via its sweep; F adds it to the harness once C's fix lands. Rationale:
+   interiors render alone (no street behind), so 350 is generous — 1,245 is a bug, not a
+   budget problem.
+3. **publish.py becomes non-destructive**: merge into `_published.json` (union of existing +
+   newly pushed), never replace. `_published.json` is the provenance record of everything
+   ever published — treat it like AUDIT.md.
+4. **Flag-composition law**: any subset of v2 flags on together must work. F smokes the
+   all-on combo (`?winmap=1&dig=1&roster=stream` + plansrc if landed). If two flags fight,
+   the later-landing lane owns the fix; F arbitrates.
+5. **fal spend**: no new gens authorized this round. The $21.36 balance sits. (Re-gen of a
+   *failed* existing prop at ≤2 attempts is fine if something turns out broken in use —
+   log it in AUDIT.md.)
+6. **Tag `v2.0-alpha`** (F, end of round): all four flags landed + flags-off regression
+   green + all-on combo smoke green + qa.sh strict green. If A doesn't land, tag anyway
+   with three flags and note it — don't hold the milestone hostage.
+
+## Process rules (unchanged — agents run concurrently)
+
+- ONE shared working tree. `git status` first; stage only your files by exact path; options
+  before `--`; `add` new files first; commit immediately; pin a durable per-lane ref.
+- Leave `qa.sh --strict` GREEN. Update `<X>-progress.md`; cross-lane asks in your NOTES.
+- F owns `web/index.html` + `tools/`; document call sites for F instead of editing.
+- `procityprogress.txt` / `settings.local.json` stay untracked.
+- Repo: `/Users/m3ultra/Documents/procity`. Ports: `~/Documents/thriftgod` (A's import),
+  `~/Documents/90sDJsim` (reference). Dev server `:8130`.
+
+## Sequencing
+
+```
+F1 (flags-off regression + v2 smoke) ── land FIRST, everything else runs under it

+
+---
+
+## Lane A (Citygen) — the second plan source (CARRIED FROM ROUND 5, unchanged)
+
+Your round-5 brief carries verbatim — execute ROUND5_INSTRUCTIONS.md §Lane A. Summary:
+
+1. **Extract the contract**: document the exact CityPlan shape `generatePlan` returns in
+   CITY_SPEC (nodes/edges/blocks/lots/shops/registry/hours/openLate/seeds); add a
+   `planSource` selector — default `'synthetic'` byte-identical (golden hash law), `'osm'`
+   behind `?plansrc=osm`.
+2. **Build the OSM source**: port the relevant parts of thriftgod `server.py:433
+   build_city()` reading a **checked-in fixture** (one real AU town's shops, few hundred
+   max, extracted from thriftgod's `city_source.json` cache) → dedupe → suburb inference →
+   parody names → seeded hours → valid CityPlan. Deterministic (fixture+seed → same plan,
+   hash it). **Zero network.**
+3. **Prove it downstream**: `?plansrc=osm` boots the shell end-to-end — streets, doors,
+   interiors; invariants green (parameterize selfcheck by source; synthetic golden hash
+   untouched). Screenshot the imported town.
+4. Document the seam in LANE_A_NOTES for F's determinism-gate extension.
+
+**Integrator note (decision #1):** if one session can't finish, land contract + fixture +
+a booting partial importer and document the cut — a half-landed seam beats another no-show.
+
+**Acceptance**: default boot byte-identical; `?plansrc=osm` boots a real-data town with
+invariants green; fixture committed; zero network; qa green.
+
+## Lane B (Streetscape) — place the street props
+
+1. **Place `street_bin_01` and `bus_shelter_01`** (published R5, no consumer yet). Bins:
+   seeded placement along footpaths (corner/mid-block, sparse — this is a country town, not
+   a mall). Bus shelter: main-street edges, oriented to the kerb, sensible spacing (1–3 per
+   town) — note it's also the future stop for V2's tram/bus loop, so place it ON the street
+   graph (an edge attribute or deterministic edge pick), not free-floating, and document the
+   placement rule in LANE_B_NOTES for whoever builds the vehicle loop.
+2. **Footprint/collision verify** both (same bar as your R4 furniture verify): planted,
+   no sidewalk clipping, player collision sane, correct facing, deterministic per seed.
+3. **Re-measure** worst continuous-walk view with citizens: still ≤300 draws (the props are
+   instanced/batched like the rest of your furniture — don't add per-instance materials).
+4. Optional polish: a `winmap` bookmark shot for the gallery (day + night through glass).
+
+**Acceptance**: both props placed deterministically + collision-verified; worst view ≤300
+draws; placement rule documented; qa green.
+
+## Lane C (Interiors) — kill the draw count, then map the three orphans
+
+1. **Interior draw batching (do FIRST — it's now law, decision #2: ≤350 draws worst room).**
+   Your R5 numbers: book 1,245 / opshop 702 / milkbar 573 draws. Diagnose first (one
+   `renderer.info` breakdown per room type — is it per-item stock meshes? per-sleeve
+   canvases? fitting clones?), then batch: merge static stock into per-fitting or per-room
+   geometry (`BufferGeometryUtils.mergeGeometries` on shared-material groups), or instance
+   repeated items. Constraints: determinism (same seed → same room), dig compatibility
+   (`?dig=1` riffle needs its bin's sleeves — keep dug bins' items addressable or rebuild
+   the bin's mesh on dig-open), leak-free dispose, keeper/stock contracts unchanged.
+   Re-measure ALL room types after; extend your sweep to **assert ≤350** so it can't regress.
+2. **Map the three orphaned fittings** in `glb.js` (published + in manifest since E3/E2,
+   after your R5 commits): `glass_case` → toy/pawn/milkbar (display case — front-of-room or
+   counter-adjacent), `magazine_rack` → milkbar/pawn (it's the R3 thin-wire reject reborn
+   via fal — eyeball it in-room), `crate_stack` → record/opshop back-room dressing. Real-
+   metre scale + per-kind yaw as ever; sweep + soak with them on; extend the contact sheet.
+3. Re-run the dig soak (`?dig=1`) after the batching change — the riffle must still work on
+   the batched bins.
+
+**Acceptance**: worst room ≤350 draws with the sweep asserting it; all three fittings live
+in rooms, validated, screenshotted; dig still works + leak-free; qa green.
+
+## Lane D (Citizens) — harden the streamed roster toward default-on
+
+The roster flips to default in v2 proper; this round produces the evidence for that call.
+
+1. **Full soak with `?roster=stream` on**: the standard gate-2 walk (≥30 chunks, ≥15 shops)
+   plus your far-field walk — leak-free (renderer.info at baseline after chunk disposes),
+   0 console errors, heap stable, determinism (same seed + walk → same identities).
+2. **Hours-aware density** (if not already in): streamed spawns respect the day fraction
+   like v1; at night, density drops and the openLate video shop's block stays lively.
+3. **Flag-composition check with C**: `?roster=stream&dig=1` — entering a dig from a street
+   with a streamed roster, exiting, walking on. No interaction with interior mode (roster
+   is street-tier), but prove it.
+4. **The numbers memo**: write LANE_D_NOTES "roster default-on readiness" — perf deltas
+   (draws/tris/frame-time worst view vs v1 roster), memory over a 30-chunk walk, density
+   uniformity evidence, known gaps. F + Fable use it to decide the flip in round 7.
+
+**Acceptance**: streamed-roster soak green; composition with dig proven; readiness memo
+written with real numbers; flag still default-off; qa green.
+
+## Lane E (Assets) — make the pipeline non-destructive, then on-call
+
+1. **Fix publish.py (decision #3)**: merge newly-published files into `_published.json`
+   (read existing → union → sorted write), never replace. While you're in there: after any
+   publish, verify the file against the live depot list (`/api/list` filtered to
+   `procity_*`) and warn on drift. Add a small check to `validate_manifest.py` (or a new
+   gate): every manifest `depot:` file must appear in `_published.json` — so a future
+   clobber fails QA instead of hiding.
+2. **Re-verify the record**: run your fixed publish path's verify against the depot and
+   confirm the 27-entry `_published.json` Fable regenerated is exactly right (fix if not).
+3. **On-call**: B may need bus-shelter/bin scale or origin tweaks once placed; C may find
+   `magazine_rack`/`glass_case` issues in-room (fal re-gen of a *broken* prop is authorized
+   at ≤2 attempts per decision #5, logged). Answer within your NOTES.
+4. **No speculative generation** — the depot grows consumer-driven only. No fal spends
+   beyond decision #5's broken-prop clause.
+
+**Acceptance**: publish.py merges (proven by a dry-run + a real no-op run), QA catches
+manifest-vs-published drift; `_published.json` verified against depot; asset asks answered;
+qa green.
+
+## Lane F (Integration) — the enforcement harness, then the alpha tag
+
+1. **F1 — flags-off regression + v2 smoke (LAND FIRST; carried from R5 where it slipped).**
+   Per your own LANE_F_NOTES §"v2 QA harness extensions":
+   - **Flags-off regression**: boot with no flags → assert plan hash == golden + a settled
+     draws/tris snapshot within tolerance of the v1.1 baseline. This is the enforcement arm
+     of the prime law — with three live flags it is overdue.
+   - **v2 smoke**: for each flag (`winmap`, `dig`, `roster`, + `plansrc` when A lands):
+     boot flag-on, walk 2 chunks, enter 1 interior (dig: open one riffle), 0 console errors.
+   - **All-on combo** (decision #4): one smoke with every landed flag on simultaneously.
+   - Wire into qa.sh as a **warn-level gate this round** (strict in round 7). Keep it
+     headless-runnable and fast (<2 min) or it won't get run.
+2. **F2 — plansrc integration (only if A lands)**: wire the shell plan bootstrap selector,
+   extend the determinism gate to pin (seed, plansrc) hashes, add plansrc to the smoke.
+3. **F3 — tag `v2.0-alpha`** (decision #6): all landed flags smoke-green + flags-off
+   regression green + qa strict green → tag locally with a summary (three flags is
+   acceptable if A no-shows again — note it in the tag message). Update the flags table +
+   runbook + F-progress. John pushes.
+4. Add C's interior ≤350-draw assertion to the harness once C1 lands (a per-room-type
+   check in the smoke or soak — coordinate via NOTES).
+5. Marshal duty continues.
+
+**Acceptance**: flags-off regression + per-flag + all-on smokes running in qa.sh (warn);
+determinism gate extended if plansrc lands; `v2.0-alpha` tagged on a green tree; runbook +
+flags table current.

+# PROCITY — Round 7 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+> **⚠ SUPERSEDED by [ROUND8_INSTRUCTIONS.md](ROUND8_INSTRUCTIONS.md) (2026-07-14).** Round 7 is
+> complete — roster flipped to default, `?stock=real` live, harness strict, v2.0-beta tagged
+> (`4feba02`). B (weather) and A (osm parity) slipped — round 8 carries both §Lane A and §Lane B
+> verbatim; everything else is historical reference only.
+
+Date: 2026-07-14 · Written after the Fable round-6 review (`6948372`) and the **v2.0-alpha
+tag**. You are an Opus 4.8 agent assigned ONE lane (read your session prompt). Read this
+file, your lane spec, your `<X>-progress.md`, and NOTES addressed to you first.
+
+Repo state: everything committed on `main` at `6948372` = `v2.0-alpha`. `tools/qa.sh
+--strict` GREEN **5/5** (incl. the v2 flags harness at warn level). Four v2 flags live,
+default-off: `?plansrc=osm` · `?winmap=1` · `?dig=1` · `?roster=stream`. Goldens: synthetic
+`0x3fa36874`, osm `0x34cfdec0`. Interior law ≤350 draws/room (worst 313, sweep asserts).
+27 procity GLBs live. fal balance ~$21.36. Tags `v1.0`/`v1.1`/`v2.0-alpha` await John's push.
+
+## Theme: the flip round + the content firehose
+
+Round 6 built the machinery; round 7 turns two keys:
+
+1. **`?roster=stream` becomes the DEFAULT.** D's readiness memo says it's deterministic,
+   leak-free, hours-aware, and composes — gated only on one optimisation (the ped sub-mesh
+   merge, so full density fits the draw budget). E merges, D validates, F flips.
+2. **Real stock enters the dig** (the reason this system exists — V2_IDEAS #1, deferred
+   twice): a curated GODVERSE content pack feeds C's `stockAdapter` behind `?stock=real`,
+   so the crates you riffle hold *real* record sleeves instead of parody canvas.
+
+Plus: the flags harness graduates **warn → strict**, B ships weather, A hardens osm mode.
+End-of-round milestone: **`v2.0-beta`** (F tags; criteria in decision #6).
+
+## Prime-law amendment (read carefully — the baseline moves this round)
+
+The v2 prime law ("default boot stays v1-identical") gets its first **deliberate,
+versioned** exception: when F flips the roster default, the default boot changes. Protocol
+(decision #1): the flip commit and the flags-off-baseline re-pin happen in ONE F-owned
+commit, with the old baseline recorded in the commit message. **Plan goldens do NOT move**
+(`0x3fa36874` / `0x34cfdec0` — the plan layer is untouched by the roster). Any other lane
+whose feature would move the default boot: that's still a land-blocker — the exception is
+the flip only.
+
+## Integrator decisions (so nobody blocks)
+
+1. **Roster-flip protocol**: E1 (sub-mesh merge) → D1 (validate + full-density numbers) →
+   F1 (flip default; keep `?roster=v1` as the escape hatch back to the fixed roster;
+   re-pin the flags-off draws/tris baseline in the same commit). Order is strict — no lane
+   pre-empts the flip.
+2. **Real-stock scope**: read-only content, NO economy backend. E builds the pack offline
+   from GODVERSE (`~/Documents/dealgod/GODVERSE.md` — recordgod's 185k vinyl w/ images is
+   the target): curate ~200–400 sleeves per record-shop archetype (+ optional small packs
+   for book/toy if cheap), bake into atlas textures + a JSON index (id, title, artist,
+   price band, atlas UV), publish atlases to the depot like any asset. C consumes behind
+   `?stock=real` through the existing `stockAdapter` seam. Buying stays a stub. `?noassets`
+   and flag-off behavior untouched. **No runtime network beyond the existing depot path;
+   no databases; nothing from GODVERSE checked into the repo except the built pack index
+   if it's small.** Parody-name law: run titles/artists through the same
+   no-real-trademarks screen as everything else — if the source data is real-world
+   metadata, parody-transform it in the pack builder (deterministic).
+3. **Weather is B's round**, behind `?weather=1`: seeded per-day weather state (clear /
+   overcast / rain), rain particles + wet-ground response, wind sway on awnings/trees if
+   cheap. The sky domes for it already exist in `web/assets/gen/`. Tram loop is a stretch
+   goal ONLY if weather lands early (`?tram=1`, instanced, one path over B's bus_shelter
+   stops, no traffic sim).
+4. **Harness graduates to strict** (F, after the flip lands): a red flags-harness now
+   fails qa.sh. New flags this round (`stock`, `weather`, `tram` if it lands) enter at
+   warn and graduate next round.
+5. **fal**: no new spends. Broken-prop re-gen clause (≤2 attempts, logged) still stands.
+6. **Tag `v2.0-beta`** (F, end of round) when: roster default-on + escape hatch verified ·
+   flags harness strict + green · `?stock=real` riffles real sleeves in a record shop ·
+   `?weather=1` rains · qa strict green. If stock OR weather slips, tag anyway with what
+   landed and note it — same no-hostage rule as always.
+
+## Process rules (unchanged)
+
+- ONE shared working tree. `git status` first; stage only your files by exact path;
+  options before `--`; `add` new files first; commit immediately; pin a durable lane ref.
+- Leave `qa.sh --strict` GREEN. Update `<X>-progress.md`; cross-lane asks in your NOTES.
+- F owns `web/index.html` + `tools/`; document call sites for F.
+- `procityprogress.txt` / `settings.local.json` stay untracked.
+- Repo `/Users/m3ultra/Documents/procity`; GODVERSE reference `~/Documents/dealgod`;
+  dev server `:8130`.
+
+## Sequencing
+
+```
+E1 (ped sub-mesh merge) ──→ D1 (validate + density numbers) ──→ F1 (FLIP + re-pin baseline)
+E2 (GODVERSE stock pack) ──→ C1 (?stock=real in the dig) ──────→ F2 (strict harness + new smokes)
+B1 (?weather=1) · A1 (osm parity + 2nd town) ── parallel ──────→ F3 (tag v2.0-beta)
+```
+E has both feeder tasks — start E1 immediately (it gates the flip), E2 right after.
+F1 lands before F2 (strict) so the baseline only re-pins once.
+
+---
+
+## Lane A (Citygen) — osm mode to parity + a second town
+
+The Melbourne import works; make osm a first-class citizen, not a demo.
+
+1. **Selfcheck parity**: parameterize the full selfcheck suite by plan source so osm plans
+   get the same invariant coverage as synthetic (lots/shops integrity, hours contract,
+   exactly-one openLate, storeys ranges, determinism, <100ms). Wire so `qa.sh` runs both
+   (F already pins both goldens — extend the checks behind them).
+2. **A second fixture town**: extract another AU town from the thriftgod cache (different
+   scale/shape than inner-Melbourne — a smaller coastal or regional strip is ideal) →
+   `?plansrc=osm&town=<key>`. Same laws: checked-in module fixture, zero network,
+   deterministic, pinned golden per town (give F the hashes).
+3. **Document the "add a town" recipe** in LANE_A_NOTES (fixture extraction → module →
+   golden pin) so future towns are mechanical.
+4. Watch for: osm towns must satisfy the SAME downstream contracts (openLate exactly-one,
+   registry types, hours sanity) — if a real town's data fights a contract, the importer
+   normalizes it (and logs what it changed), the contract doesn't bend.
+
+**Acceptance**: full selfcheck green on every (source, town); second town boots end-to-end;
+recipe documented; both plan goldens unchanged, new town's golden pinned; qa green.
+
+## Lane B (Streetscape) — weather
+
+`?weather=1` (decision #3). Seeded, deterministic, cheap.
+
+1. **Weather state**: seeded per (citySeed, day) — clear / overcast / rain (weights feel
+   AU-plausible). Expose `window.PROCITY.weather` for other lanes (D may thin crowds in
+   rain later; not this round).
+2. **Rain**: a particle layer (instanced/points, ONE draw), audible-later, camera-following;
+   wet ground = roughness/darkening response on street surfaces; puddle sheen if cheap.
+   Sky: pick the matching dome from the existing `sky-*.jpg` set (summer storm / grey
+   drizzle are already in `web/assets/gen/`).
+3. **Wind**: subtle sway on awnings + trees during overcast/rain if it fits the budget —
+   vertex-shader time offset, not per-frame CPU.
+4. **Budget + composition**: worst view ≤300 draws with weather on; works with winmap
+   (rain outside a lit window is the money shot — screenshot it), night, and interiors
+   (rain audio/visual stops inside; interiors are separate scenes so mostly free).
+5. **Stretch ONLY if 1–4 land early**: `?tram=1` — one instanced tram/bus on a seeded
+   main-street loop over your bus_shelter stops, door-stop pause at each. No traffic sim.
+
+**Acceptance**: `?weather=1` deterministic per seed/day; rain + wet ground + matching sky
+render; ≤300 draws; composes with winmap/night; flag-off identical; screenshots (incl.
+rain-through-window); qa green.
+
+## Lane C (Interiors) — real sleeves in the crates
+
+`?stock=real` (decision #2). The stockAdapter seam you built in v1 finally eats.
+
+1. **Define the pack contract with E** (you own the consumer side): what the JSON index +
+   atlases must provide per item (title/artist/price-band/atlas+UV). Put the agreed schema
+   in LANE_C_NOTES *first* so E builds against it — a half-day handshake beats a rework.
+2. **Consume**: when `?stock=real` and the pack is available (depot or `?localdepot=1`),
+   record-shop bins draw sleeves from the pack (seeded pick per bin — same seed, same
+   crate contents) instead of parody canvas; the dig riffle shows real covers + pack
+   titles/prices; the pull-out card shows title/artist/price.
+3. **Laws**: deterministic per shop.seed · leak-free (atlas textures dispose with the room
+   or share via the loader cache — prove with the soak) · ≤350 draws (atlas = the sleeves
+   stay batched; assert via drawSweep) · `?noassets` and flag-off untouched · fail-soft
+   (pack missing → parody canvas, warn once).
+4. **Extend the dig soak**: `?dig=1&stock=real` enter/riffle/exit × N rooms, zero leaks,
+   determinism.
+5. If E's pack covers book/toy too, wire those shelves as a bonus — record shops are the
+   acceptance bar.
+
+**Acceptance**: riffling a bin with `?stock=real` shows real (parody-screened) sleeves with
+titles/prices, deterministic + leak-free + ≤350 draws; fail-soft proven; contract doc'd;
+qa green.
+
+## Lane D (Citizens) — validate the merge, hand F the flip
+
+1. **D1 — validate E1's merged peds** (the flip gate): rigs bind + animate (walk/idle),
+   silhouettes/materials intact, impostor bake clean, identity variety preserved. Then the
+   numbers: draws-per-near-rig before/after, worst-view draws/tris at FULL density
+   (`?roster=stream`, no reduced-density concession), 30-chunk soak leak-free. Write the
+   go/no-go into LANE_D_NOTES with the exact figures — F flips on your word (decision #1).
+2. **Full-density defaults**: with the merge in, set the stream path's density/near-cap
+   defaults to the values your memo said full density needs — these become the shipping
+   defaults when F flips.
+3. **Post-flip verification** (after F1 lands): default boot runs the streamed roster —
+   re-run your determinism + far-field-density + leak checks on a NO-FLAG boot; verify the
+   `?roster=v1` escape hatch actually restores the fixed roster.
+4. Do NOT start rain-behavior/schedules/queues — crowds react to weather in a later round.
+
+**Acceptance**: merged peds validated with published numbers; go/no-go memo written; after
+the flip, no-flag boot passes your full check suite; escape hatch verified; qa green.
+
+## Lane E (Assets) — the two feeders
+
+Both critical-path. E1 gates the flip; E2 gates the stock. In that order.
+
+1. **E1 — ped sub-mesh merge (START IMMEDIATELY).** Per-ped GLBs carry multiple
+   primitives/materials → multiple draws per near rig. Merge to (ideally) ONE primitive +
+   one atlased material per ped: gltf-transform `join`/`palette`/`instance` pipeline —
+   **preserving skinning (joints/weights), morphs if any, and compatibility with the shared
+   walk/idle clips**. Backup originals (gitignored), process all 19, verify each loads +
+   binds in the vendored GLTFLoader, record before/after draws+tris in AUDIT.md, hand to D.
+2. **E2 — the GODVERSE stock pack.** Build `pipeline/build_stock_pack.py`: read recordgod
+   data from `~/Documents/dealgod` (fixture-extract like A's pattern — the pipeline reads
+   the local dataset at build time; NOTHING queries it at runtime), curate 200–400 sleeves
+   (image quality + variety), **parody-transform titles/artists deterministically** (the
+   no-real-trademarks law applies to metadata too), bake atlas PNG/WebPs + JSON index to
+   C's schema (wait for C's contract note — it's their task 1), publish atlases to the
+   depot, stage for `?localdepot=1`. Provenance in AUDIT.md (source dataset, count,
+   transform). Small packs for book spines / toy boxes only if the record pack lands early.
+3. **On-call**: B may want a rain-streak sprite or puddle texture (procedural first —
+   generate only if truly needed, flux_local, free).
+
+**Acceptance**: E1 — all peds single-draw (or documented floor), skinned + animating, D
+signs off; E2 — pack published + staged, index validates against C's schema, parody screen
+run, provenance logged; qa green (incl. your own provenance-drift gate).
+
+## Lane F (Integration) — flip, tighten, tag
+
+1. **F1 — the roster flip (after D1's go).** In `web/index.html`: streamed roster becomes
+   default; `?roster=v1` restores the fixed roster; `?roster=stream` stays accepted (now a
+   no-op). **Same commit**: re-pin the flags-off regression baseline (draws/tris snapshot)
+   to the new default boot, old values in the commit message (prime-law amendment). Plan
+   goldens untouched. Then boot no-flags + escape hatch and eyeball both.
+2. **F2 — harness to strict (after F1).** Flags harness failures now fail qa.sh. Add
+   smokes for the new flags as they land: `stock=real` (enter record shop, open dig,
+   assert non-parody sleeve count > 0), `weather=1` (boot, assert particle layer + wet
+   response active, 0 errors), `tram=1` if B ships it. New flags enter at warn (decision
+   #4), existing four + flags-off are strict.
+3. **F3 — tag `v2.0-beta`** (decision #6 criteria): summary tag message with the flip
+   baseline note; update flags table + runbook + F-progress. Local; John pushes (remind
+   him v1.0/v1.1/v2.0-alpha are also still unpushed).
+4. **Marshal**: this round has two hard sequams (E1→D1→F1, E2→C1) — if a lane stalls,
+   flag it in F-progress early rather than at round end. The R5 lesson (silent no-show)
+   now has a harness for code, but not for schedule — you're the schedule harness.
+
+**Acceptance**: default boot = streamed roster with re-pinned baseline + working escape
+hatch; harness strict + green with new-flag smokes; `v2.0-beta` tagged on a green tree;
+runbook/flags table current.
+
+---
+
+*— Fable (integrator). Two keys turn this round: the town gets permanently busier, and the
+crates get real. Both have hard sequencing — respect the arrows, commit atomically, pin
+your refs, leave it green.*

+# PROCITY — Round 8 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-14 · Written after the Fable round-7 review (`16d4f2b`) and the **v2.0-beta
+tag** (`4feba02`). You are an Opus 4.8 agent assigned ONE lane (read your session prompt).
+Read this file, your lane spec, your `<X>-progress.md`, and NOTES addressed to you first.
+
+Repo state: everything committed on `main` at `16d4f2b`. `tools/qa.sh --strict` GREEN 5/5
+with the flags harness **STRICT**. **The streamed roster is the DEFAULT** (`?roster=v1` is
+the escape hatch; baseline re-pinned 164 draws / 66k tris; plan goldens frozen at
+`0x3fa36874` synthetic / `0x34cfdec0` osm-Melbourne). `?stock=real` puts real GODVERSE
+sleeves in record-shop crates and digs. John is pushing main + v1.0/v1.1/v2.0-alpha/
+v2.0-beta to origin. fal balance ~$21.36.
+
+## Theme: catch-up + the town comes alive
+
+Round 7 turned the two big keys but **two lanes slipped**: B (weather) and A (osm parity)
+have no round-7 work. Round 8 is those debts plus the "living town" tier that the flip and
+the stock pack unlock:
+
+- **A and B execute their carried tasks** — B's weather is now also a dependency for D.
+- **C widens real stock** (book/toy) and gives the dig a working **buy loop v0**.
+- **D makes crowds react** — weather + shop patronage (peds actually enter shops).
+- **E feeds packs** and stays the asset kitchen.
+- **F graduates the new smokes to strict** and tags **`v2.0-rc`**.
+
+A slip note (this applies to everyone): a lane that can't finish its round MUST commit a
+partial + write the cut line in its progress doc before the session ends. Round 7's slips
+were silent again — the schedule harness (F) catches them at round end, but a one-line
+"stopped at X because Y" turns a re-derive into a resume.
+
+## Prime law (post-amendment state)
+
+Default boot = streamed roster at the re-pinned baseline; plan goldens frozen; everything
+NEW still lands behind a default-off flag; flags compose; `qa.sh --strict` green at every
+commit. The flags harness is strict — if your feature leaks into the default path, qa fails
+and it's yours to fix.
+
+## Integrator decisions (so nobody blocks)
+
+1. **B goes first on weather** (carried R7 brief, unchanged — ROUND7 §Lane B): D's crowd
+   reactions consume `window.PROCITY.weather`, so B1 landing early unblocks D2. If B slips
+   again, D ships patronage only (hours-based) and weather-reaction carries — do not fake a
+   weather source.
+2. **Buy loop v0 scope (C)**: in-memory only. Player cash starts at a seeded-per-town float
+   (e.g. $40–60), HUD chip, `onBuy` deducts price + removes the sleeve from the bin +
+   adds to a simple inventory list (I key). NO persistence (no localStorage — a page reload
+   resets; that's fine for v0), no selling, no economy sim. Deterministic world, free-agent
+   player: purchases mutate live room state only, never generation.
+3. **Pack expansion (E)**: book spines + toy boxes packs, same pipeline/laws as the record
+   pack (build-time extract, parody-transform, atlas + index, depot publish, provenance).
+   Target ~150–250 items each; reuse C's schema (already proven); C wires shelves.
+4. **Patronage v0 scope (D)**: streamed peds occasionally path to an OPEN shop's door,
+   pause, "enter" (despawn with a door-swing tell or fade), re-emerge after seeded dwell.
+   No interior presence (interiors stay player-only this round), no queues. Respect hours
+   (closed shops get no visitors; the openLate video shop gets night traffic).
+5. **Audio stays parked** (needs John's sourcing decision — flagging it: one line from John
+   unlocks street ambience + door bell, the V2_IDEAS "greenfield" item).
+6. **Tag `v2.0-rc`** (F, end of round) when: weather + patronage + buy-v0 + ≥1 new pack
+   landed and smoke-green, stock/weather smokes graduated strict, qa strict green. Same
+   no-hostage rule: tag what landed, note what slipped.
+
+## Process rules (unchanged)
+
+- ONE shared working tree; stage only your files by exact path; options before `--`;
+  `add` new files first; pin a durable lane ref; leave qa GREEN; progress doc + NOTES.
+- F owns `web/index.html` + `tools/`; document call sites for F.
+- `procityprogress.txt` / `settings.local.json` stay untracked; `pipeline/_stockpack/`
+  and staging dirs are gitignored — keep build output out of the repo.

+B and E start immediately (both feed others). C1 and D1 need nobody.
+
+---
+
+## Lane A (Citygen) — carried round-7 brief, unchanged
+
+Execute ROUND7_INSTRUCTIONS.md §Lane A verbatim. Summary: (1) selfcheck parity for osm
+plans (full invariant suite runs on both sources; F pins both goldens); (2) a second
+fixture town (`?plansrc=osm&town=<key>`, checked-in module, zero network, golden pinned —
+pick a small coastal/regional strip for contrast with inner-Melbourne); (3) the "add a
+town" recipe in LANE_A_NOTES; (4) importer normalizes real-world data to the contracts
+(exactly-one openLate etc.) and logs what it changed.
+
+This brief has now slipped twice (R7; and R4–R5 for its predecessor). If a full session
+isn't available, land ANY complete subset with a cut-line note — parity alone is a fine
+round.
+
+**Acceptance**: full selfcheck green on every (source, town); second town boots end-to-end
+(or a documented cut); goldens pinned; qa green.
+
+## Lane B (Streetscape) — carried round-7 brief: weather
+
+Execute ROUND7_INSTRUCTIONS.md §Lane B verbatim. Summary: `?weather=1` — seeded per
+(citySeed, day) state (clear/overcast/rain) exposed at `window.PROCITY.weather`; rain
+particles (ONE draw), wet-ground response, matching sky dome from the existing set; wind
+sway if cheap; ≤300 draws worst view; composes with winmap/night (rain-through-lit-window
+screenshot); flag-off identical. Tram (`?tram=1`) remains the stretch, only after weather.
+
+**New this round**: D consumes `window.PROCITY.weather` (decision #1) — expose it early
+(even while polishing visuals) and document the shape in LANE_B_NOTES: at minimum
+`{ state: 'clear'|'overcast'|'rain', intensity: 0..1 }`, stable per day segment.
+
+**Acceptance**: as ROUND7 §Lane B, plus the documented `PROCITY.weather` contract; qa green.
+
+## Lane C (Interiors) — buy loop v0 + wire the new packs
+
+1. **C1 — buy loop v0** (decision #2, in the dig, works with parody AND real stock):
+   seeded starting cash → HUD chip (street + interior); pulling the front sleeve and
+   confirming buys it: cash decreases by the sleeve's price, sleeve leaves the bin (bin
+   mesh updates — your batching keeps dug bins addressable, use that), inventory list on
+   I. Broke = can't buy (a "not enough cash" tell). In-memory only; reload resets.
+   Leak/determinism laws: world generation unchanged (purchases are runtime state);
+   dig soak extended to buy 2 items per visit — no leaks, ≤350 draws.
+2. **C2 — wire book spines + toy boxes** when E1's packs land: `?stock=real` extends to
+   book/toy shelves through the same stockAdapter path (static shelf stock; digging other
+   shop types is NOT this round). Fail-soft per pack (record pack present but book missing
+   → records real, books parody).
+3. Keep the pack schema doc current if E's new packs need any field additions.
+
+**Acceptance**: buying works end-to-end in a dig (cash/HUD/inventory/bin-update), soak
+green with purchases; book+toy shelves show real stock when packs present, fail-soft
+otherwise; ≤350 draws; qa green.
+
+## Lane D (Citizens) — the crowd comes alive
+
+1. **D1 — shop patronage v0** (decision #4, independent of B): streamed peds occasionally
+   select an OPEN shop within their chunk, path to its door, pause, despawn-with-tell,
+   re-emerge after a seeded dwell. Hours-aware: closed = no visitors; night = the openLate
+   video shop is the only draw. Deterministic per seed+time; budget-neutral (it's the same
+   peds, different paths); leak-free (despawn/respawn through your existing lifecycle).
+   Behind `?patronage=0` OFF-switch — patronage is default-ON for streamed rosters (it's
+   crowd behavior, not a new system; the flags-off baseline may move a hair — coordinate
+   the re-pin with F if draws shift, same protocol as the flip).
+2. **D2 — weather reaction** (after B1 exposes `PROCITY.weather`): rain → density drops
+   (~40–60%), walk speed up slightly, more peds choose shop doors (shelter patronage);
+   clear → v1 behavior. Read the contract from LANE_B_NOTES; do not import B's modules.
+3. Re-run the roster soak with patronage on (leak-free over the despawn/respawn cycles).
+
+**Acceptance**: peds visibly enter/leave open shops day-long and cluster on the video shop
+at night; deterministic + leak-free + budget-neutral; rain thins and redirects the crowd
+(or documented as carried if B slips); qa green.
+
+## Lane E (Assets) — pack kitchen

+   items each, atlas + index to C's schema, depot publish + local stage, provenance in
+   AUDIT.md. Book spines are TALL-thin (different atlas cell aspect) — coordinate the
+   cell geometry with C before baking.
+2. **E2 — pack QA**: extend your provenance-drift gate (or add a small check) to validate
+   pack indexes — every entry has atlas+UV in range, price band sane, no empty titles —
+   so a bad bake fails qa instead of rendering blank sleeves.

+4. No fal spends (broken-prop clause stands). Audio assets stay parked (decision #5).

+them; pack-QA gate green; provenance logged; qa green.

+2. **F2 — patronage default-on baseline**: if D1 moves the flags-off draws/tris beyond

+## Provenance — round-3 hero props (for the depot publish sign-off)
+
+Per the round-3 instruction ("record the per-asset provenance list in AUDIT.md first, then hand
+John the two-liner"). The hero props have the **cleanest provenance in the whole set** — they are
+100% generated on-device, from no third-party source:
+
+| asset (`procity_fit/street_<id>_01.glb`) | origin | licence zone |
+|---|---|---|
+| **5 generated** — listening_booth, drinks_fridge, arcade_cabinet, milkshake_mixer (fit) · novelty_record (street) | **fully synthetic, local**: concept image = MODELBEAST `flux_local` (FLUX.2-klein-4B, Apache-2.0 model) → mesh = `trellis_mac` (TRELLIS.2, an original reconstruction of that concept image). No scanned/third-party geometry, no copyrighted source asset. | 🟢 original work (CC0-equivalent) |
+| cash_register (`vintage-cash-register.glb`) | **reuse** of John's own `thriftgod_hero` asset, already live on 3GOD (round-3 reuse check) — not regenerated. | 🟢 same as existing depot set |
+| magazine_rack | **not shipped** — TRELLIS wire rack floored ~112k tris (thin-wire gotcha) → in-engine primitive. | n/a |
+| glass_case, bus_shelter | **not shipped** — TRELLIS failed on the transparent glass → fal.ai fallback list (John's go — Hunyuan v2 ~14–17¢/gen: ~$0.28–0.34 for the pair, ~$1 worst case w/ retries) or primitive. | n/a |
+
+- **Prompts were generic period objects with explicit `no text, no brands, no people`.** Every kept
+  prop was eyeballed for accidental baked branding (contact sheet `docs/shots/laneE/props_gen_local.png`).
+  The only textual marks are the **drinks-fridge's weathered faux-stickers** — verified at full concept
+  resolution to be **garbled, illegible pseudo-lettering** (no real trademark; e.g. a faux barcode +
+  nonsense glyphs), which reads as period flavour and blurs out at mesh-texture resolution. 🟢 cleared.
+- Tri/size note: TRELLIS meshes are dense multi-shell scans; `normalize.py`'s COLLAPSE decimate floors
+  well above the ≤5k library budget (**25–77k tris, ~0.3–3.5 MB/prop**; neither COLLAPSE nor meshopt
+  can reduce shell-soup without a voxel-remesh that destroys the baked UVs). Accepted for **focal,
+  optional, LOD-able** props (texture-intact) — flagged for a later texture-bake-to-lowpoly / gltfpack pass.
+- These GLBs stage locally (`web/assets/models/`, git-ignored, served by `?localdepot=1`) and await
+  John's depot publish; they are **not** committed binaries (same policy as the library `_normalized` set).

 dims (node-transform-aware) and WebP/PNG/JPEG texture sizes. Normalizer output:
 `pipeline/_normalize_results.json`.
+
+## Round 4 — ped-rig decimation (gate-3 blocker)
+
+The 19 street ped rigs in `web/models/peds/` were **~31k–56k tris each (924k total)** — the cause of
+gate 3 failing (~279k tris at the busiest intersection vs ≤200k). Decimated to **≤3k tris each**
+(integrator decision #1) via `gltf-transform` `weld` → `simplify` (meshoptimizer):
+
+```
+gltf-transform weld  in.glb  _w.glb
+gltf-transform simplify _w.glb out.glb --ratio 0.05 --error 0.12
+```
+
+meshoptimizer works cleanly here (proper manifold skinned character meshes, NOT the TRELLIS
+shell-soup of the R3 hero props). Result: **924,153 → 46,551 tris** (48.6k → 2.45k avg; range
+1564–2805, all ≤3k), **36M → 5M** on disk. **Skinning fully preserved** — `JOINTS_0`/`WEIGHTS_0`
+intact, skeleton unchanged (nodes + 65 joints identical to source), so the shared `walk.glb`/
+`idle.glb` clips retarget unchanged (both left untouched). Contact sheet:
+`docs/shots/laneE/peds_decimated.png` — silhouettes/textures read clean, no melted faces/hands
+(fine for street distance). Originals backed up (gitignored) at `pipeline/.peds_orig/`; per-ped
+before/after in `pipeline/_peds_decim.json`. Lane D validates rig binding + anims (task D2); Lane F
+re-measures gate 3 (~24-rig near cap × ≤3k ≈ ≤67k fleet contribution).
+
+## Round 4 — E2 asset re-exports (published)
+
+- **`procity_fit_record_crate_01.glb` re-export (fixed).** The R3 normalize left a **sourceless
+  texture** (packed AO/roughness map didn't survive the WebP export; the material's
+  `metallicRoughnessTexture` + `occlusionTexture` pointed at it), which crashed three.js GLTFLoader
+  with `undefined 'uri'`. `pipeline/fix_glb_textures.py` strips material slots that reference a
+  sourceless texture (base-colour + normal kept; the orphan is never loaded). Verified it loads in
+  the vendored `GLTFLoader` (5000 tris, textures ok); re-published to the depot.
+- **`procity_fit_counter_till_01.glb` (new).** ~2 m timber shop counter with a period beige till —
+  `flux_local` concept (3 rolls for the ~2:1 aspect) → `trellis_mac` mesh → `normalize.py`. 1.61 ×
+  0.64 m, 1.15 m tall, 32k tris (TRELLIS shell-soup floor, within decision-#2's 25–77k for focal
+  props). **Provenance: 100% synthetic/on-device** (FLUX.2-klein-4B + TRELLIS.2 on the M3 Ultra), no
+  third-party source — cleanest licence zone. Replaces the R3 4 m till-less counter for the interior
+  counter slot (Lane C maps `counter` → `counter_till`); the balcao 4 m `counter` stays for long-bar use.
+
+## Round 5 — E1: hero-prop bake-to-lowpoly (un-parked)
+
+The 6 heavy TRELLIS hero props were **25k–77k tris** (shell-soup — simplify-only floors there,
+R3's lesson). Rebuilt topology + re-baked base colour via `pipeline/bake_lowpoly.py` (Blender
+headless): **voxel-remesh → triangulate → decimate ≤8k → smart-UV → Cycles DIFFUSE(COLOR) bake
+HP→LP → WebP export**. All **≤8k tris**, base colour baked onto fresh UVs, self-illuminated a
+touch (matches normalize). Originals backed up (gitignored) at `pipeline/.props_orig/`; batch spec
+`pipeline/batch_bake.json`; results `pipeline/_bake_results.json`.
+
+| prop | tris before → after | voxel | size on disk | note |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| drinks_fridge | 77047 → 8000 | 0.03 | 5.3M → 0.9M | hollow glass-door box — needed a coarser voxel (0.012 grabbed the internal shelves into wireframe) |
+| milkshake_mixer | 73492 → 7991 | 0.005 | 4.7M → 0.9M | small part, fine voxel |
+| listening_booth | 53502 → 7986 | 0.012 | 3.4M → 0.9M | panel + stool |
+| counter_till | 32226 → 7999 | 0.012 | 1.9M → 0.9M | timber counter + till |
+| novelty_record | 26486 → 8000 | 0.014 | 1.8M → 0.9M | thick disc + base |
+| arcade_cabinet | 25142 → 8000 | 0.012 | 1.5M → 0.8M | boxy cabinet |
+
+Fleet: **288k → 48k tris**, **18M → 5.2M**. Every one **eyeballed** (contact sheet
+`docs/shots/laneE/props_baked.png` — no melted labels/faces; the fridge re-bake was the only redo)
+and **verified loading in the vendored `GLTFLoader`** (tris ≤8k, baked texture present).
+Re-published to the depot (`validate --depot` 0 errors). **Provenance unchanged: 100% synthetic/
+on-device** (FLUX.2-klein-4B + TRELLIS.2 + Blender bake, no third-party source). → Lane C
+re-measures the record interior (was ~273k tris).
+
+## Round 5 — E3: fal.ai fallback props (glass-case + bus-shelter + magazine-rack)
+
+The two R3 TRELLIS glass rejects + the optional magazine-rack, generated on **fal.ai Hunyuan3D v2**
+(John-authorized, decision #4). Pipeline: `flux_local` concept (frosted/opaque surfaces so the
+reconstructor has something to grab — clear glass is what defeated TRELLIS) → `pipeline/gen_props_fal.py`
+(fal `fal-ai/hunyuan3d/v2`, key from MODELBEAST settings, never hardcoded) → `normalize.py` (scale/
+origin) → `bake_lowpoly.py` (voxel-remesh → ≤8k → **EMIT albedo bake**; Hunyuan materials need the
+base-colour→emission route, DIFFUSE(COLOR) baked them near-black).
+
+**Paid gen log (fal Hunyuan3D v2, ~$0.16/gen):**
+
+| prop | attempts | cost | outcome |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| glass-case | 1 (frosted-glass concept) | ~$0.16 | ✅ solid case, timber base, items visible — TRELLIS couldn't; 40k→8k baked |
+| bus-shelter | 2 (att.1 dropped the thin perspex panels → att.2 with an opaque back wall) | ~$0.32 | ✅ solid shelter, back wall + roof + bench; 40k→8k |
+| magazine-rack | 1 (optional; solid-timber, not wire) | ~$0.16 | ✅ tiered timber rack w/ magazines — beat the R3 wire failure; 40k→8k |
+
+**Total fal spend this round: ~$0.64** of the $22 balance (well under the <$1 estimate). Guardrail
+held — nothing else on fal. All 3 ≤8k tris, base-colour baked, **verified loading in the vendored
+GLTFLoader**, eyeballed (`docs/shots/laneE/props_fal.png` — no melted glass, no legible branding),
+published, `validate --depot` 0 err. **Provenance: FLUX.2-klein-4B concept + fal Hunyuan3D v2 mesh +
+Blender bake — synthetic, no third-party source** (Hunyuan output is model-generated geometry).
+Raw fal GLBs + concepts kept in gitignored `pipeline/.genprops/`. These retire the last two
+primitive-only fittings (glass_case, magazine_rack) + add a street bus_shelter.
+
+## Round 5 — E2: depot growth (consumer-driven)
+
+The round-5 v2 features are **procedural** (dig.js riffles generated sleeve art; B's window shader is
+100% procedural; D's roster is spawn logic) — so no forced GLB needs. Per Fable "don't add manifest
+entries no lane consumes", E2 is deliberately light: two already-synthetic depot props with clear
+consumers, re-normalized to procity names + thumbs (both already ≤5k tris, metre-scale, base-origin):
+
+| new id | source | footprint / h | consumer |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `street/bin` (`procity_street_bin_01.glb`) | `council-bin.glb` (thriftgod_hero, on depot) | 0.57×0.68 m, 1.0 m | Lane B street dressing (towns need bins) |
+| `fit/crate_stack` (`procity_fit_crate_stack_01.glb`) | `milk-crate-stack.glb` (thriftgod_hero) | 0.71×0.72 m, 0.9 m | Lane C record-store floor piles / dig context |
+
+Both 3k tris, verified loading in the vendored GLTFLoader, published, `validate --depot` 0 err.
+Provenance: MeshGod-generated (thriftgod_hero) — synthetic, web-ok. **Note:** also resolved Lane B's
+B3 ask — `novelty_record` (was 26.5k, spiking the busy view) is now 8k via the E1 bake. No speculative
+props added; further depot growth is available on request once C's dig / D's roster name concrete needs.
+
+## Round 7 — E1: ped sub-mesh merge to one draw (gates the roster flip)
+
+The 19 ped rigs carried **1–9 primitives / 1–3 materials each = 92 draws** for the fleet (≈116 at
+the 24-rig near cap) — the optimisation D's memo gates full-density roster on. `pipeline/merge_ped.py`
+(headless Blender) merges each ped to **ONE primitive + one atlased material**: join meshes → pack
+every material's UV islands into a non-overlapping atlas UV → **EMIT-bake each source material's
+base-colour into one 1024 atlas** (route base-colour→emission via the ORIGINAL uv so the atlas UV
+doesn't hijack the lookup) → single material. **Skinning + skeleton fully preserved** (65 joints
+intact on all 19, `JOINTS_0`/`WEIGHTS_0` kept; `walk`/`idle` untouched).
+
+Result: **fleet 92 → 19 draws (1/ped)**; at the 24-rig near cap **116 → 24 draws** (79% cut). Size
+5M → 4M. Verified in the vendored `GLTFLoader`: all 19 load with `isSkinnedMesh` + bind the shared
+`walk.glb` clip; `man_suit` (2-mat) poses to **byte-identical dimensions vs the original**
+(109.038 × 62.5) proving the skin deforms unchanged; `man_athletic` (3-mat, most complex atlas)
+eyeballed correct (skin/top/pants regions all right). Pre-merge decimated peds backed up (gitignored)
+in `pipeline/.peds_r6/`; per-ped in `pipeline/_peds_merge.json`. → **Lane D validates (D1)** —
+full silhouette/material/impostor/identity pass + full-density numbers — then **F flips the roster**.
+
+## Round 7 — E2: GODVERSE stock pack pipeline (real sleeves for the dig)
+
+`pipeline/build_stock_pack.py` builds C's `?stock=real` content pack **offline** (nothing queries the
+dataset at runtime): read recordgod (`dealgod` Postgres `discogs_release`, 185k vinyl w/ cover URLs) →
+curate N sleeves (deterministic md5 sample, varied) → **parody-transform title/artist** → fetch covers →
+bake 8×8 atlas WebPs (256px cells) + a JSON index (`{id,title,artist,price,price_band,atlas,uv}`) →
+stage for `?localdepot` / publish to depot.
+
+**Parody law (metadata):** real (title, artist) → deterministic seed → recombined from period-AU word
+banks; the output **shares no source token** (`Dark Side of the Moon`/`Pink Floyd` → `Quiet Milk Bar`/
+`The Galahs`) so there is **zero real-trademark leakage**, yet it reads as plausible AU record stock,
+and the same source row yields the same parody every build. Verified deterministic + token-disjoint.
+
+**Pipeline PROVEN** end-to-end with `--sample 24` (synthetic solid-colour sleeves): 24 → one 2048 atlas
++ index, UVs correct, price bands (bargain/standard/collector/grail) working; sample pack staged to
+`web/assets/models/` so Lane C can wire the consumer against the **real index format now**.
+
+**The real 200-400 pack is blocked on two external deps (flagged to Fable):**
+1. **`GODVERSE_DSN`** — the dealgod Postgres DSN (creds). Postgres is up on `localhost:5432`; the
+   builder reads the DSN from env (I don't hunt for creds). `--from-db --count 300` runs once it's set.
+2. **Lane C's pack schema** (their task 1, not yet posted) — I built to the proposed fields above;
+   `INDEX_FIELDS` adjusts to C's LANE_C_NOTES contract when it lands.
+Provenance of the real pack: source = Discogs metadata + cover images (recordgod), **metadata
+parody-transformed** (no real titles/artists ship); covers are real release art (read-only, non-economy
+per decision #2). Small book/toy packs are a follow-up once the record pack lands.

+"""PROCITY hero-prop bake-to-lowpoly — turn a heavy TRELLIS shell-soup GLB into a game-ready

+    BL=/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender
+    "$BL" --background --python bake_lowpoly.py -- BATCH.json OUT_DIR [THUMB_DIR]
+
+Why bake (R3's lesson): raw TRELLIS meshes are dense multi-shell scans; plain decimate /
+meshopt-simplify floors at 25–77k because they can't merge across the shells. So we throw the
+topology away and rebuild it:
+  1. import the normalized HP (already metres / +Y up / base-origin / textured)  → bake SOURCE
+  2. voxel-remesh a copy  → one watertight manifold surface (no more shell-soup)
+  3. decimate the remesh to the tri budget (≤8k)  → LP
+  4. smart-UV unwrap LP
+  5. Cycles bake DIFFUSE(COLOR) HP → LP's new UVs  → a single baked base-colour texture
+  6. export LP GLB (WebP, embedded, self-illuminated a touch like normalize.py) + 256 thumbnail

+"""PROCITY Lane F — v2 flag enforcement harness (round-6 F1).
+
+The machine version of what the R5 review did by hand. Three things, headless, <2 min:
+  1. FLAGS-OFF REGRESSION — the enforcement arm of the prime law. Boot with no flags → the plan
+     fingerprint must equal the golden 0x3fa36874, the settled street view must stay within the v1
+     budget (≤300 draws / ≤200k tris) AND within tolerance of the v1.1 snapshot, every v2 subsystem
+     must report inactive, and there must be ZERO console errors. A v2 flag leaking into the default
+     boot trips this.
+  2. PER-FLAG SMOKE — for each landed flag (winmap, dig, roster, +plansrc when A lands): boot flag-on,
+     cross ≥2 chunks, enter one interior (dig: also open+close a riffle), 0 console errors.
+  3. ALL-ON COMBO (flag-composition law, decision #4): every landed flag on at once, same smoke.
+
+Run:  cd web && python3 -m http.server 8130   (or let this script spawn its own)
+      tools/.venv/bin/python tools/flags_check.py
+Wired into tools/qa.sh as a WARN-level gate this round (strict in round 7). Exit 0 = all pass;
+non-zero = a check failed (qa.sh reports it as a warning this round).
