Fable (integrator): ROUND 33 CLOSED — THE HUNT lands, all green; the beta's last system is in

qa.sh --strict --matrix on the final tree: 7 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn · 0 skipped, MATRIX 10
towns green. New STRICT smoke_wantlist_travel: ☆→★ through the real card (the save carried
{THE VERANDAHS — 'Servo at Midnight'}) · a keeper muttered the hunted artist within 2 shops
('saw one in Castlemaine just last week') · buying the wanted sleeve cleared the hunt · the
synthetic→melbourne ride cost EXACTLY one day with $179 and the find riding along · the
same-town reboot was free (the control discriminates) · the ride home charged again (day 3) ·
?game=0 built zero want DOM and muttered nothing · 0 console errors. Matrix note: town_matrix
shares one browser across towns so travel drifts the day as it walks — safe because
determinism double-boots the SAME town (free by the same-town rule); reasoned before landing.
Money shots: docs/shots/v7_beta/rumor_and_wantlist.png (the keeper's mutter over the toy
shop's 70s wallpaper + THE WANTLIST open in the crate) + want_card.png. README manual row.

+## §33 — R33: v7.0-beta wave 2 — THE HUNT (wantlist · rumor · travel) (Fable, solo, JING5)
+
+- **save.js:** optional `wants: [{artist?|title?|sku?}]` on procity-save/1 (validated
+  exact-and-loud when present; ≥1 string field per entry; cap 40; absent-when-empty keeps the
+  alpha byte shape). `recordWant` (case-insensitive dedupe) / `findWant` (a want covers an item
+  when every field the WANT names matches — sku exact, artist/title by value) / `removeWant`
+  (identity). **TRAVEL in `adopt()`:** adopted save's `town !== townKey` ⇒ `day += 1`,
+  `traveled = true`, prunePulls — load AND import both pay the fare; same-town adoption free
+  (save-determinism byte-equality untouched). `game.traveled` getter → the shell's arrival toast.
+- **dig.js:** the pull card's ☆ WANT line — construction-gated on `opts.onWant` (game absent ⇒
+  zero want DOM, the classic-pure pattern). ☆ click → ★ ON THE WANTLIST (a stamp, not a button,
+  once wanted).
+- **interior_mode.js:** onWant/isWanted seams into dig.open; buy of a matching item removes the
+  want (+ '✓ off the wantlist' toast). **THE RUMOR** in the enter() banner: seeded
+  `xmur3('rumor:<citySeed>:<shopId>:<day>')` → 45% roll → hunted want + a town from
+  RUMOR_TOWNS (the repo's real cached towns, current town excluded). Runtime-only stream —
+  A's boundary holds; no game / empty wants ⇒ the line never exists.
+- **hud.js:** THE WANTLIST section in the crate panel (non-empty only): artist/title rows, ✕
+  stops hunting; refresh watches wants length so an open panel follows adds/clears.
+- **Gate:** `smoke_wantlist_travel` STRICT (see ROUND33_INSTRUCTIONS for the green run) — real
+  card path, seeded rumor scan, auto-clear, +1-day travel with same-town negative control and
+  the return fare, `?game=0` zero-DOM control, 0 console errors.
+- **Matrix note:** town_matrix shares one browser across towns, so travel drifts the day as it
+  walks the matrix — safe because determinism double-boots the SAME town (free by the
+  same-town rule) and no matrix gate reads absolute day. Reasoned before landing, not after.
+- **The shot found what the gate didn't (harness lesson #5 candidate):** R32's crate-in-shops
+  surface BUILT only in street update() frames — a door entered fast after boot had no game
+  surface inside at all, and the interior tickGame() happily refreshed a UI that never existed.
+  Green gates missed it because every gate's boot idles on the street long enough to build.
+  Fixed: tickGame() now builds AND refreshes (any mode); found by taking the money shot, which
+  entered the shop faster than any gate does. Shots are a detector, not decoration.

+# PROCITY — Round 33 instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-20 · **R32 closed all green** (7/0/0, matrix 10 towns — THE BIBLE + scarcity live).
+Round 33 is **v7.0-beta wave 2 — THE HUNT**: the wantlist, the rumor, and travel that costs a
+day ([V7_THE_GAME.md](../V7_THE_GAME.md) system #6, the last unbuilt beta system). Solo round
+again (John's "keep going"), same treaty, lane ownership honoured in the commits.
+
+## The design rulings this round encodes
+
+1. **A want is something you SAW.** The wantlist grows from the pull card (☆ WANT IT — you
+   pulled it, it's dear, you'll hunt one cheaper) — not from an abstract search box the 90s
+   didn't have. Buying a matching item clears its want automatically (the hunt ends when
+   you're holding it). Wants ride the save (`wants: [{artist?|title?|sku?}]`, optional field,
+   same procity-save/1 back-compat law as `pulls`).
+2. **The keeper finally gossips** (charter: "D's citizens finally gossip for a reason").
+   Seeded per (citySeed, shop, day): ~45% of shop entries mutter a hunted want + a real cached
+   town in the banner — flavor and a travel nudge, honest about being neither promise nor
+   stock lookup (town-wide packs mean any town CAN surface the record eventually). Runtime
+   stream, freshly keyed — no plan/golden moves. Full persona lines remain D's when the v6
+   clip work lands; the banner is the keeper's voice until then.
+3. **Travel = the townKey changing hands.** Booting a save in a different town (different
+   plansrc/town/**seed** — a new seed is a new town) costs exactly one day, applied in
+   save.js `adopt()` so load and import both pay it, and pulls prune on the way. Same-town
+   reloads and export→import round trips stay free — the save-determinism gate's byte
+   equality survives untouched. The town selector IS the bus; the arrival toast names the
+   fare. The 23 towns are now a map you spend days moving across, not a dropdown.
+
+## Gate (F)
+
+`smoke_wantlist_travel` (STRICT): ☆→★ through the real card → the save carries the want ·
+a keeper names the hunted artist within the open shops (seeded scan) · buying the wanted
+sleeve auto-clears it · synthetic→melbourne costs exactly one day with cash/collection intact
+· same-town reboot is FREE (the control) · the ride home costs a day again · `?game=0` builds
+zero want DOM and mutters nothing.
+
+## ROUND CLOSED (Fable) — ALL GREEN
+
+`qa.sh --strict --matrix`: **7 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn · 0 skipped**, MATRIX 10 towns green
+(the shared-context day drift travel introduces across matrix towns was reasoned through
+before landing: determinism double-boots the SAME town, so no gate sees it). The new gate's
+run: want carried {THE VERANDAHS — "Servo at Midnight"} · rumor after 2 shops ("🗣 THE
+VERANDAHS? saw one in Castlemaine just last week") · buy cleared the want · travel day 1→2
+with $179 and the find riding along · same-town free · return trip day 3 · game=0 clean ·
+0 console errors. Full record: LANE_F_NOTES §33.
+
+Also caught and fixed here: the R32 crate-in-shops surface only BUILT in street frames — a
+door entered fast after boot had no game surface inside (the money-shot script entered faster
+than any gate does and exposed it; tickGame() now builds-or-refreshes in any mode). Money
+shots: `docs/shots/v7_beta/rumor_and_wantlist.png` + `want_card.png`.
+
+**What remains of v7:** §31.6-5 (dig Esc in person — John's hands) · then the v7.0 close:
+GodBay offline auctions (G's lane), THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES (onboarding), the tour, the tag.
