Fable (integrator): THE TOUR — day one to first gem, 6 frames, no staging

The v7.0 charter's money shot, driven through the REAL loop on the pinned seed: arrive hunting
(the splash mission) → the strip → the shop (rumor overhead) → THE GEM (THE VERANDAHS 'Tinny',
asking $19 against ★ RARE guide $60+ — with onboarding beat ③ visible below, walking its talk)
→ the crate → dawn day 2: '⚖ SOLD Tinny — hammer $89, $78 after fees'. Bought $19, hammered
$89: the loop, told in six frames. docs/shots/v7_tour/ + sequence README. What remains for the
v7.0 tag is deliberately NOT mine: docs freeze + John's playtest (hands before tags).

+## Update 2026-07-18 (round 30, v7.0-alpha THE SAVE AND THE CRATE) — the sell counter: cash comes back, always less
+
+R30 ledger #2 — contract first (LANE_C_PUB §9, its own commit), implementation second. F's save core
+(ledger #1) had **not landed** when this was built: no `save.js`, no `window.PROCITY.game` anywhere in
+the tree — so everything below is built to the R30-published shape and verified against a **stub** of
+exactly that shape (noted loudly below).
+
+### The contract (§9) — the one number and why
+**`sellOffer(p) = min(p − 1, max(1, floor(p × 0.5)))`, never < 0.**
+- **0.5** is the secondhand-dealer margin — the keeper pays half of what he'll sticker it at.
+- **`min(p − 1, …)` is the no-pump law made STRUCTURAL:** the offer is strictly below `pricePaid` for
+  every `p ≥ 1`, so buy-then-immediately-sell loses ≥ $1 per round trip **by construction** — no
+  balance retune can break F's monotonic-loss gate without violating the contract. At `p = 1` the
+  offer is $0 and SELL disables (the keeper won't buy what he can't sticker).
+- **Alpha basis = `pricePaid`** (every alpha buy is at asking price, so it IS the buy-side price the
+  player faced; there are no guide bands yet). **Beta swaps the basis to `bandLow`, not the shape.**
+- Matching is **type = type, strict, fail-closed**: an untyped item sells NOWHERE (a matcher passing
+  untyped items would "match" everywhere — vacuous-gate law applied to a matcher).
+
+### What shipped (C's files only)
+- **`web/js/interiors/sell.js`** — `createSell()` + pure `sellOffer` / `sellableIn` / `nearCounter`.
+  DOM-only (zero draws, zero GPU), the dig's manila price-sticker mirrored to the left with a green
+  offer sticker; one item at a time, `‹ ›` cycling, ✕/Esc; till rings from the counter emitter (R28
+  one-shot pattern). Same consumer pattern as `dig.js`: the single side-effect is `onSell(item,
+  offer)` — **C never mutates `game.collection`** (read-only law, §9.3).
+- **`web/js/interiors/wallet.js`** — `wallet.sell(item, offer)`: the credit mirror of `buy()`.
+  This file never prices; the offer comes in from `sellOffer`.
+- **`web/interior_test.html`** — E-at-counter routing (bin → dig · counter → sell · shelf → buy) gated
+  on `window.PROCITY.game` presence (the in-game classic-pure law, exactly); `?sellstub=1` stubs the
+  published game shape for verification until F's core lands.
+
+### Verified (fresh context, no-store server on :8144 — NOT :8130, zero console errors throughout)
+- **The sale:** record shop seed 1990, at the bench (`nearCounter` true at 0.9 m, false across the
+  room) → card `THE FIBROS — "Servo at Midnight" · you paid $24 · offer $12` → SELL → **cash 163 →
+  175 (+$12 < $24 paid)**, collection 4 → 3, sold item gone, toast + till fired.
+- **Type fence:** stub carried 2 records + 1 book + 1 untyped item. Record shop cards **exactly the 2
+  records**; book shop cards **exactly the book** ($7 on $15); the untyped item cards **nowhere**.
+- **The disabled edge:** the $1 record offers $0 → button reads NOT WORTH BUYING, disabled.
+- **No-pump round-trip (C's mini-gate, precursor to F's #5):** buy-then-sell through the real wallet +
+  card path, prices {2,3,5,9,24,60,61,137} → **8/8 strictly negative** (−1,−2,−3,−5,−12,−30,−31,−69).
+- **The gate discriminated first** (vacuous-gate law, proven live): my first loop pushed a 999-priced
+  item into the collection **without checking `wallet.buy` succeeded** — broke wallet, no debit, then
+  a +$499 "sale". A pump — from an item never paid for. **Finding for F below.**
+- **Fail-soft:** boot with no stub (= no game layer) → E at the counter does nothing, `open()` false,
+  zero DOM, zero errors. `dispose()` leaves 0 panels/0 toasts in the DOM.
+- **Budgets:** draws with the card open ≡ closed (16 ≡ 16 — DOM is zero-draw); `buildInterior` and all
+  room code untouched this round; 50-room soak re-run green in the same session: **avg 3.4 ms · worst
+  8.2 ms · leak geo 0 / tex 0 · determinism identical · worst draws 73 ≤ 350**.
+
+### Findings / asks (→ F, for the save core + gates)
+1. **The collection item needs `type`** (registry stock type, stamped at buy time). The R30 shape
+   (`{townKey, godverseShopId|shopId, sku|slotId, pricePaid, dayFound}`) doesn't carry it, and without
+   it **nothing is sellable anywhere** (my matcher is fail-closed on purpose). `title`/`artist` are
+   strongly asked too (B's collection UI needs them; my card falls back to the sku label — honest, ugly).
+2. **`pricePaid` must only ever be written by a SUCCESSFUL debit.** The no-pump law's structure
+   assumes pricePaid was actually paid — my broken first loop showed a collection entry that skipped
+   the wallet debit converts straight into a money pump. F's no-pump gate should include this negative
+   control: a collection entry minted without a debit must be impossible (or the gate must fail).
+3. **The removal handoff:** in-game, the sold item must leave the collection **via the game API** —
+  `onSell` is where F calls it. My harness splices its own stub (its array, its right); C's modules
+  never touch game state. When F publishes the API name, §9.3 references it verbatim.
+
+R28 §Lane C (ledger #3) — my own idea, parked since R7, brief states acceptance only. Wave 1, alongside E+B.
+
+### The trap my own parked note set
+v3.0's deferred note said: *"`userData.audioEmitter = musicKey` so Lane B can position/spatialise the
+bed"*. **Both halves were wrong**, and the second one is dangerous:
+
+1. **The shape.** The engine holds no reference to the room group — it would have to traverse a scene it
+   cannot reach. Emitters belong on `room.audio` as data, where they ride the **existing**
+   `playInterior(room.audio)` call: no new lifecycle, no traverse, no dispose hook, no F plumbing.
+2. **The method.** "Spatialise" invites a `PannerNode`. **Nothing in this tree sets `ctx.listener`** (zero
+   hits, whole tree), so a panner resolves against a listener frozen at (0,0,0) — and since rooms are built
+   in room-local coords at the origin, that is *the room's own centre, forever*. Measured with
+   `OfflineAudioContext` on a real pub stage bed:
+
+   | wiring | RMS at door | RMS at stage | ratio |
+   |---|---|---|---|
+   | panner, listener never set (**the engine as it ships**) | 0.106905 | 0.106905 | **1.0000** |
+   | panner + listener tracking the player | 0.055665 | 0.500000 | 8.98 |
+
+   It **plays, throws nothing, warns nothing, and never changes by one sample as you cross the room** —
+   while failing at the only thing it exists to do. *"Routed through a panner?"* yes. *"Audible in a
+   venue?"* yes. *"In a shop?"* yes. All green, all worthless. **The only assertion that can see this is a
+   DELTA: gain at the door ≠ gain at the stage.** Vacuous-gate law, 4th application — and this one had no
+   author to blame but me. There is no listener code anywhere to teach a lane otherwise.
+
+**The house idiom was already right**: tram rumble (R=55), door spill (R=9), gig spill (R=26) are all
+hand-rolled distance-gains against `PROCITY.camera.position`. No listener, no panner. Emitters match it.
+
+### What shipped (C's files only)
+- **`room.audio.emitters`** = `{ stage?, counter? }`, room-local, 3-dp, **18/18 same-seed deep-equal**.
+  `r` (reach) is the **room diagonal, not a constant** — measured diagonals 9.81–15.63 m, and scaling to
+  the room keeps door→stage proximity in a tight **0.42–0.59** band from a pokey band_room to a hall pub.
+  `floor` is the room-filling residue, **never 0** — a PA fills a pub; what changes as you walk in is the
+  *balance*, not the presence. Swing **2.65–4.52 dB** (John R20: *subtle changes are great*).
+- **The till rings from the counter** — *audible positioning in a normal shop with **no engine change***,
+  via B's already-public `playSfx(key,{gain})`: C does its own distance math, hands B a scalar. Measured
+  through the real BUY button in a real record shop: **0.9489 @ 0.60 m vs 0.6436 @ 4.19 m = 3.37 dB**;
+  negative control (no emitters) fires at exactly **1.0**. `sfx-till.ogg` had been on disk since 15 Jul and
+  had **never once played**. Routing, not content — exactly as the brief said.
+- **`?mute=1` now silences the crate riffle.** See below.
+
+**Why the venue half is an ask, not a ship:** a **one-shot** resolves its gain once, at fire time, from a
+position C already knows. A **bed** must be re-gained every frame inside the engine's `update()` loop —
+B's file. The split is structural, not political. B got a ~12-line paste-ready diff in the house idiom; C
+did not touch audio.js. The letter of "consulted not modified" could have been satisfied by reaching
+through B's exposed `state.layers` diag to rewire its graph from outside — **that backdoor is strictly
+worse than the edit it avoids** (invisible to B, breaks on any change of B's). Refused.
+
+### Two bugs found on the way
+- **F drops emitters on the one night they matter.** `interior_mode.js:289` rebuilds the spec on a gig
+  night: `{ musicKey: ra.gigKey, toneKey: WALLA_KEY }` — every unnamed field dies. Measured on a real
+  gig-night pub: `quietNight_emittersSurvive: true`, **`gigNight_emittersSurvive: false`**. Silent, fail-
+  soft, no error. -> F: don't just spread `ra` — pass emitters **deliberately, gig-night only**, because on
+  a quiet night the radio and room-tone genuinely *are* room-filling.
+- **`?mute=1` never silenced the riffle (R5 → R28).** `dig.js` opened a **second, private AudioContext**
+  straight to `destination`, breaking both of audio.js's stated laws (*ONE AudioContext*; *mute forces
+  silence*). It survived three epochs because **no gate asserts mute ⇒ silence**: the engine returns its
+  silent surface and looks honest *from its own side*, while the sound came from somewhere it never knew
+  existed. *A gate that asks the engine whether it is muted can only ever answer yes.* Fixed by reading
+  B's **public** `.muted` getter (consulted, not modified), URL fallback when standalone. Measured with a
+  positive control so the probe is provably able to see sound: live 1 ctx / 1 source; **muted 0 / 0**.
+  Blips stay procedural on purpose — zero-fetch, deterministic, and they still work under `?noassets=1`
+  where a sampled riffle cannot. Only mute was broken; only mute was fixed.
+
+### Harness honesty (again)
+First till rig reported a clean 3.37 dB — from a **contaminated harness**. `createDig` appends a panel per
+call and `close()` doesn't remove it, so `querySelector` was clicking **trial 1's stale button** every
+time. The tell was `panelUp: false` on all three trials, and the **negative control** returning 0.6436
+where it must return 1.0. The gains happened to match the formula exactly — I still refused them and
+re-ran isolated (`panelCount: 1`, `panelUp: true`, control **1.0** ✓). R27's lesson holds: *never report a
+number from a rig you have watched lie, even when you like the number.* The control is what caught it.
+
+QA GREEN (6/0/0/0). Docs: **LANE_C_AUDIO.md → v3.1** (contract + both asks + every measurement above).

+
+## Update 2026-07-17 (round 27, v5.0 THE LIVE CRATE) — the tier-2 seam + LANE_C_PUB v5-FROZEN
+
+R27 §Lane C (ledgers #2 + #6). Wave 1 — ran after F tagged `v5.0-beta` (`78848ed`, 7/0/0).
+
+### The seam ruling (§8): bless the direct wire — but the *form* was the real question
+Fable asked: publish a post-build hook, or bless the direct wire? **Answer: bless it — no lifecycle hook.**
+F already holds `currentAdapter` (`interior_mode.js:67`) and passes it to `dig.open()` **per dig** (`:111`),
+so the live read lands, F updates the pack, and the next riffle picks it up. Read not landed / slow / dead ⇒
+the adapter is simply the tier-1 pack ⇒ the dig never blocks. No C lifecycle change.
+
+**But the question underneath it — *how* `gone` applies — is C's, and the obvious wiring is wrong.**
+`pickRealOffers` indexes `pack.items[(rr()*len)|0]`, so **filtering the array reshuffles the crate**.
+Measured across 5 crates: **one record selling changed 21 OTHER records** (6/2/2/6/5 collateral). Pick-then-
+omit — draw from the stable full list, drop gone *after* — has **0 collateral**: a crate with 3 sold shows
+13, not a different 16. Selling one record must remove one record, not re-stock the shop.
+
+**And the trap: both forms hide the sold record.** So F's planned sandbox assertion — "a real `gone` item
+never renders" — **goes green on the wrong wiring**. It cannot see the 21. → **F: assert on collateral (the
+survivors are unchanged across a `gone` delta), not absence.** That's the vacuous-gate law's third
+application, and the cheapest to miss, because it passes.
+
+**Landed** (`dig.js`): `pack.gone` (Set|array) omitted at pick time; **F's invariant published** — update
+item *fields* in place (live price) freely, **never add/remove/reorder `items[]`**; that identity+order IS
+the seeded pick's stability (the same lesson as R25's positional ids, one layer up).
+**Determinism boundary sits exactly here:** server down ⇒ byte-identical tier 1 (gate-able); server up ⇒ the
+crate legitimately changes — tier 2 is non-deterministic *by design*, so **no gate may assert dig determinism
+with the server up**, and `pack.gone` never enters a seeded stream or a golden.
+**Scoped honestly:** the bin fan is decorative (a different seeded pick from the dig's offers), so a sold
+cover may linger there until rebuild — that's when I'd publish a post-build hook, and the epoch's claim
+doesn't need it, because *the crate you riffle is true*.
+
+**Verified** — pure-function measurement for the collateral claim, then end-to-end through the real dig's
+public surface (pull → Esc → scroll → pull): sold record gone · **survivors 4/4 · collateral 0** · `items[]`
+untouched at 120 · live in-place price shows on the next pull. *My first dig harness returned the same title
+4× (I never un-pulled), so its "survivors" number was a harness artifact — I re-ran it properly rather than
+report a metric I'd just watched lie.*
+
+### Docs freeze (§6): LANE_C_PUB is **v5.0-FROZEN**, whole document
+Marked, with the case law kept at the top rather than buried: three of this doc's amendments exist because a
+rule of mine met a case written *after* it (§7's naming vs its own loader; §7.2a's `sku_` before mint) — and
+both times the lane building to my rule took the red. The header now says it plainly: **when a line here
+meets a case it didn't foresee, the line is the stale thing — amend it, don't bend the case.**

+A fresh game arrives HUNTING: one seeded artist want (`rng(citySeed,'firstwant',0)` × the
+parody roster) named on the splash with the pocket money ("You're hunting HILLS HOIST — $191
+in your pocket"), pointing the rumors and the tour at the same target. Three toast-beats walk
+the hustle off existing events (walk-in → digOpen → first find → first sale-or-listing, then
+the listener removes itself). Returning saves get no tutorial; ?game=0/classic never reach it.
+#pc-toast body-mounted so beats and morning papers surface inside shops too. STRICT
+`smoke_first_five` green (roster want + splash · real-path beats · returning/?game=0 controls
+· cross-browser seed determinism). Full record: LANE_F_NOTES §35.

+
+⚖ LIST from the crate (mail-in consignment) → `listings` on procity-save/1 → resolves the day
+after, wherever the day moves (sleep, travel, imports — adopt() and sleep() share the
+resolver). THE ONE-HAMMER LAW: identity-seeded (never day-seeded) — a passed-in item re-lists
+to the same result forever, no retry farm. 15% pass · uniform-across-band hammer (grail 2×low)
+· 12% war ×1.5–2 · 12% fees, net floor $1; EV ≈ 0.8×mid so random flips bleed and only finds
+profit; keeper = floor, auction = bounded ceiling. The morning paper rides the wake/arrival
+toast ("⚖ SOLD 'Cane Toad Blues' — hammer $22, $19 after fees"). Band table imported from C's
+bible.js (one authority), PRNG from core. STRICT `smoke_godbay` green (real-DOM consign ·
+byte-identical double-sleep · bounded honest resolution · travel hammers · game=0 control).

+## Round 33 (v7.0-beta wave 2) — THE HUNT: wantlist · rumor · travel (Fable, solo, JING5)
+
+☆ WANT on the pull card → `wants` on procity-save/1 (optional, capped, deduped); buying a
+matching item clears the hunt; THE WANTLIST section in the crate panel. The keeper gossips:
+seeded 45% banner mutter naming a hunted want + a real cached town. TRAVEL COSTS A DAY:
+adopting a save from another townKey (town OR seed) charges +1 day in save.js adopt() — load
+and import both pay, same-town stays free (byte-equality gates untouched); arrival toast names
+the fare. New STRICT `smoke_wantlist_travel` (real-card want · rumor scan · auto-clear ·
++1-day with intact cash/collection · same-town control · return fare · ?game=0 zero-DOM).

+Guide bands derived in `js/interiors/bible.js` (E's thresholds mirrored, no pack re-emit) →
+the pull/sell cards carry the **guide stamp**; parody bins roll seeded bands + 10% collector/
+grail **gems** (asking under the keeper's bandLow offer — margin by construction); §9.1 sell
+basis swapped to bandLow exactly as pre-ratified (alpha entries keep the pricePaid basis).
+**Scarcity:** optional `pulls` on procity-save/1 — a bought dig slot stays gone all day
+(pick-then-omit, zero collateral), pruned on sleep; real-sourced pulls never expire. §31.6
+queue: cluster-pose spawn (main-street doors, classic keeps the frozen pose) · THE CRATE +
+game bar live in interiors (C anywhere, yields to the cards) · DAWN dome swaps to high-cirrus

+## Round 31 (v7.0-alpha CLOSE) — THE DIG FLIP + the tag
+
+**Fable's wave-0 playtest found the one alpha-blocker: the dig was default-OFF on a plain boot.**
+`index.html` still carried the v2-era opt-in (`params.has('dig')`) six epochs after the README
+claimed "dig on" — and every R30 game-loop gate booted `dig=1` explicitly, so the suite was green
+while E at a bin did nothing on the boot every player gets. Fixed with the one-line flip
+(`DIG_ON = flagOn('dig')` — ?dig=0 opt-out, ?classic=1 off, `dig` on the flags surface) and fenced
+with two new STRICT legs: **default_boot_gate asserts dig REACHABILITY on a NAKED boot** (E at an
+aimed bin → digActive true → closed clean) and **classic_regression asserts dig INERT at the bin**
+(zero `pcdg-*` DOM, zero Storage calls — measured, not assumed). *Harness lesson #4: the
+explicit-flag blindfold — a gate that force-feeds its subject's flag can never notice the default
+is broken; every claimed-default-on flag needs at least one flag-ABSENT gate.* Splash de-staled
+("Every door opens." — the "(soon)" is over; controls line = E riffle/sell · C crate · SLEEP to
+save) + the README manual row. `PROCITY_QA_PORT` override so the suite never silently reuses
+whatever holds :8130 (this round: Fable's own preview server).

+
+## Round 30 (v7.0-alpha — THE SAVE AND THE CRATE) — F: the contract first, then the save core + tomorrow
+
+**The contract shipped before a line of implementation** (`53fcd3c`): `window.PROCITY.game =
+{ day, cash, collection[], townKey, save(), load(), sleep(), export(), import(json), wallet,
+recordFind(), removeFind() }` + the `procity-save/1` schema + the rotation law, published in
+LANE_F_NOTES §30 — and it worked exactly as the order intended: **B picked up §30.4 within the
+session** (venue.js "tonight" already reads `gigs.weekNight`; hud.js collection/SLEEP surface in
+flight), and C's already-published §9 asks (`type` stamped at buy, `title`/`artist`, removal via the
+game API, `wallet.sell` mirrored) are honoured in the entry shape.
+
+**Then the layer** (`207bcff`): `web/js/world/save.js` (F-owned, new) — versioned localStorage save,
+THE DELTA LAW BY SHAPE (payload keys are exactly `[cash, collection, day, savedAt, schema, town]` —
+no world field can even be expressed); corrupted/foreign → **loud reject, raw stashed, fresh start,
+town boots**; save on sleep + beforeunload; export/import for moving machines. The wallet is a
+game-backed facade of C's exact v0 interface, so every proven seam (dig onBuy, shelf buy, cover,
+C's onSell) is unchanged — cash just became authoritative from the save. Buy seams record finds;
+`?classic=1`/`?game=0` never construct the layer — **ZERO Storage calls, instrumented, not trusted**.
+
+**SLEEP=TOMORROW:** `sleep()` → day+1 → gig `weekNight` re-keys the EXISTING week schedule → wake at
+DAWN → save. Stock rotation is a runtime day salt on the EXISTING `stk-*` streams (2 marked seam
+lines in C's interiors/layout) + the dig's `binSeed` — **plan generation never sees `day`** (A's #6
+boundary). **Day 1 IS the pre-v7 town** (measured: `?game=0` stock fp == fresh-game day-1 fp), and
+**REAL-sourced crates never rotate** (Monster Robot fp identical across sleeps; the mint crate rotates).
+
+**Two amendments filed loudly, with measurement, not slipped in:** gig night = **(day − 1) % 7**, not
+the brief's literal `day % 7` (day starts at 1 — the literal form flips a fresh boot's gigs off night 0,
+breaking the R13 cover/band gates before the player ever sleeps); and sleep saves AFTER incrementing
+(disk always carries the morning you woke into). Fable ratifies or overrules at review.
+
+**Numbers:** 7 verify legs green in fresh no-store contexts — $12 dig buy == pricePaid recorded · sell
+halves credit/remove correctly · parody fp `3396372961 → 1818111125` across a sleep, byte-identical
+same-day AND across reboots · corrupt blob = 1 loud reject + stash + clean boot · `qa.sh --strict`
+**6 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn** with the game layer default-ON. Two F-harness bugs caught and fixed
+in the run (the post-sleep CLOSED door; a transform-based fingerprint that was vacuous over batched
+parody stock — hash the VERTEX data). Full record: `LANE_F_NOTES` §30.
+
+**Held for the later F session (per the brief):** ledger #5 gates + the sell-card E-key routing.
+
+### Wave 3 — THE GATES SESSION: the routing landed, five STRICT gates, the loop closes end-to-end
+
+**The held join is in.** E inside a shop now routes: **aimed bin → dig · near counter with sellables →
+C's sell card · forgiving nearest-bin → dig · shelf-buy** (`interior_mode.js`; 3 marked shell seams in
+`index.html` — `procity:sellOpen` unlock + `sellActive` on the Esc/relock guards, the dig's exact
+contract). `onSell` does F's two §9.3 halves in the safe order: `removeFind` first (veto ⇒ nothing
+moves), credit second. **The loop, measured through the real DOM:** dig pull **$9 debited** → walk to
+the counter → E → card → SELL **+$4** (< $9, the clamp) → collection 1→0 → street HUD **$186 ·
+CRATE 0**. One amendment filed with its measurement: the old nearest-bin fallback ignored aim and would
+have swallowed E at any counter near a bin — aimed-raycast now outranks the sell trigger, the
+forgiving pick runs after it; both branches proven live (Moe Vinyl counter: card opens; Kelpie Sound
+bin, wrong aim: dig opens).
+
+**The gates (ledger #5), all landed as STRICT suite smokes in `flags_check.py` — no more session-local
+instruments:** (a) **save/load determinism** — scripted buy 2/sell 1/sleep 2× via B's real button →
+export → fresh browser → import **byte-equal** (state 243 B, normalized export 269 B), plan fp
+`0xb1c7843e` **unchanged** across the import, weekNight re-keyed 2; (b) **no-pump v0** — 5 real
+UI round trips **all strictly negative** (Σ −$30), plus **C's negative control**: broke player,
+`wallet.buy` invoked-and-false on the real shelf path ⇒ **recordFind unreachable, zero entry** (dig BUY
+disables outright), with a positive arm proving the control discriminates; (c) **classic purity** —
+Storage-prototype instrument pre-page-script: `?classic=1`/`?game=0` **0 calls, 0 game DOM ids**,
+positive control sees the default boot's `procity-save` read + all 7 ids, plan fp game-on == game-off;
+(d) **rotation determinism over VERTEX DATA** (the wave-3 binding) — day 1/2/3 fps all distinct,
+re-entry byte-identical each day, **cross-boot byte-identical off the persisted save**, `?game=0` ==
+day 1 (88,320 hashed bytes / 20 stock meshes printed — the subject provably present). Harness bug #3
+caught en route: the HUD is hidden in interiors by design; the gate read it on the street.

 newest round first. Fable-on-ultra writing.*
 
+## Round 27 (2026-07-17) — tier 2: the two read endpoints (ledger #1)
+
+**Landed:** `pipeline/godverse_server.py` — `/health`, `/shop/<gid>/stock`, `/shop/<gid>/crates`,
+plus `start|stop|status` (F's kill-the-server lifecycle), `setup-role`, and `make-fixture`.
+Stdlib + `psql`; no server code existed before this round, per the ratified G3.
+
+**Live now, against the real POS:** crate 550 — `{baked:120, live:120, gone:0}`, real prices, real
+`VG+` grading, etag stable across reads and `?since=` → **304**. `/crates` returns **315 real
+crates** with the shop's own labels — `TECHNO` (57), `$12-$15 TECHNO` (46), `DRUM N BASS` (66).
+
+**The three fences, each enforced by the machine (measured, not reviewed):**
+
+| fence | proof |
+|---|---|
+| the credential — `godverse_ro` | `UPDATE inventory` → **permission denied** · `SELECT FROM customer` → **permission denied** |
+| write verbs absent (§7 ruling) | `POST /reserve` → **501** · `POST /buy` → **501** · `GET` either → 404 |
+| metadata only | no `cover`, no atlas bytes on the wire — covers stay static tier-1 files |
+| tier 2 = real shops only | a `mint` shop's `/stock` → **404** (no POS to be live about), not an empty crate |
+| the id fence | `gone[]` carries the atlas `id` verbatim → `gone.includes(item.id)`, zero transform |
+
+**One grant carries both the sandbox and the PII fence** — that's why §7 said enforce at the
+credential, not in a code review. `godverse_ro` holds SELECT on inventory/crate/disc_cache and
+nothing else, so customer/staff/sales are unreachable *by the process*, not by our good intentions.
+
+**⚠ THE FINDING F NEEDS BEFORE IT WRITES THE GATE — `gone[]` has no subject in production.**
+The mechanism is right; the data has no movement. Monster Robot Party's POS records **5,567 sales
+ever** (400–800/month Dec→Jun) but **26 in July and none since 2026-07-01**, and hasn't been
+*written* since **2026-07-09** — the 07-16 dump is fresh, its data is stale (I restored it to
+check: crate 550 holds 122 on both 07-15 and 07-16, identical). **0 of the crate's 120 records
+have ever sold.** So `gone` is `[]` against the real POS, permanently, until the shop trades again.
+An assert over it would pass **without touching its subject** — the exact species that has held
+four tags. So I built the honest way out: **`make-fixture --sold 3`** clones the POS
+(`createdb -T`) and marks 3 of the crate's *own real skus* sold → verified
+`{baked:120, live:117, gone:3}`, the three ids absent from `items[]`. F points the server at it
+via `GODVERSE_POS_DB` and gets a deterministic gate; production reads the real POS untouched.
+**A fixture is not a lie; a green assert over an absent subject is.**
+
+**Lifecycle for the kill-the-server gate (ledger #3):** `stop` is a **SIGKILL**, not a graceful
+drain — the gate tests a death, not a goodbye. Verified: `stop` → connection refused (curl rc=7,
+no response at all) → `status: DOWN` → `start` → live again. F drives it; no admin verb was added
+to the API, because a server whose whole point is "no write verbs" shouldn't grow a remote kill.
+
+**Three corrections this round forced into my own G3 §4 (design → as-built):**
+1. **`gone:[sku]` → `gone:[id]`.** §4 as *I ratified it* said bare skus — wording that predates
+   R25's sku ids and R26's fence law. A bare number crossing two id spaces is the precise bug that
+   law exists to stop. **My doc was the stale rule meeting a case written after it** — the epoch's
+   signature failure, and this time it was mine, in the doc I wrote.
+2. `items[]` drops `release_id` and `cover`: `cover` edges the API toward serving pixels (it never
+   should), and `release_id` is the *pressing* while tier 2 speaks only in *copies*.
+3. **Write verbs answer 501, not the 404 my own docstring claimed** — caught by running it. 501 is
+   the *stronger* absence proof: a 404 means a handler ran and declined; 501 means there is no
+   write handler in the process. **→ F: assert 501.**
+
+**→ Lane F, the four asserts I can hand you pre-measured:** `POST /reserve|/buy` → 501 · a game
+buy cannot reach the server (no verb *and* no grant — prove both) · `gone` fixture arm as above ·
+server dead → connection refused, so the reader must treat it as tier 1 in silence.

+## Round 27 wave 5 (2026-07-17) — THE FACADE FIX (the epoch's biggest catch)
+
+The ruling asked me to land B's one-liner in the real-roads seating and to **measure the marched path
+rather than assume it was clean**. I measured all three paths, and the ruling's premise was wrong in the
+half that mattered: **synthetic is broken too**. Not "every real town since R18" — **every town, every
+path, since v1**. Confirmed numerically (0 toward / 681 away, dot −1.0000) and then with my own eyes:
+`?classic=1`, synthetic main street = three blank boxes; walk into the block and NUMBAT PLAYTHINGS is
+there, facing the dirt. 637 of 681 lots pointed their facade at **no street at all**.
+
+- **Four sites, one sign.** `plan.js:122` (synthetic strip), `plan.js:244` (market row), `plan_osm:330`
+  (marched avenue), `plan_osm:443` (real roads — B's proven one-liner). All `atan2(outward)` where the
+  intent was `atan2(−outward)`, and **every one says so in its own comment**. The code never did what it
+  said; CITY_SPEC:71 blessed the result by writing the SIM convention into the LOTS contract.
+  After: synthetic 681/681, marched + all 3 fixtures 100%, real-roads katoomba **0/72 → 72/72** (B's number).
+- **The covenant moved, on John's ruling.** Fixing synthetic necessarily moves `0x3fa36874`, frozen
+  "forever" since R16 — not Lane A's call, so I stopped and asked. Ruling: **amend and fix all paths** (the
+  covenant is anti-drift machinery, not a defect preservative). **51 goldens re-pinned in one commit**;
+  amendment recorded in CITY_SPEC as a one-time, ruling-gated precedent.
+- **A second bug the fix exposed, fixed with it:** `buildRealRoads` seated blocks at `KERB = 4 m` from the
+  **centreline**, but a `main` carriageway is 10 m wide (kerb at 5 m) — **every main-street building has
+  stood 1 m inside the road since R18**. Invisible until the shopfront turned around and its poster landed
+  in the traffic lane. Blocks now seat behind the kerb per A's own corridor law. Drops 6.4% → **6.6%**, counted.
+- **The cross-convention gate (the lesson made law).** It does not restate a spec line — that is the trap F
+  proved (72/72 "facing" over blank walls). It replicates **Lane B's own** `buildings.js` maths and asks
+  whether the quad the *renderer* draws lands nearer the street than the lot centre. Fires if A's `ry` **or**
+  B's `zf` drifts. It would have caught this on day one.
+- **→ F (blocking their re-gate):** `scaffold_check` is RED until F re-pins the covenant hashes duplicated
+  in **F's own files** (`flags_check.py` `GOLDEN_HASH`/`GIG_GOLDEN`, `scaffold_check.mjs` `TOWN_GOLDENS`,
+  two tour captions). Exact values handed over in LANE_A_NOTES §R27w5; I can't touch F's files.

+- **CITY_SPEC v5 section**, written from the artifacts rather than the briefs (the epoch's own lesson):
+  the **tier ladder** (0 parody / 1 static real / 2 live, each degrading softly); **`sourcing` is not

+  `sourcing: "real"|"mint"` is provenance (15 keyed atlases = **1 real + 14 mint**); the **three id-space
+  fences**; the **manifest** (existence declared, never probed — the root fix for fail-soft-404 vs the
+  zero-console-errors law; 15 entries, 15 dirs); **Ruling 2**; and A's single seam, `godverseShopId`.
+- **The id fences, verified not restated.** The plan-id/godverse-id trap is still live in the data and I
+  reproduced it: in `redhill_godverse`, bare **`31`** is "Wholefood Cafe" as a plan id and "Silky Oak
+  Furnature" as a godverse id — the exact ambiguity that made F's `enterShop(31)` assert vacuously on the
+  wrong shop. It's a standing rule, not a fixed bug, and the spec says so.
+- **The risk list judged, without pre-retiring anyone's gate.** #1 (tier-2 latency) **CARRIED** — written in
+  wave 2, F's reader doesn't exist yet, and *nothing retires that line except the gate going green*;
+  retiring it from a doc while the code is unwritten is the precise species this epoch spent four holds
+  catching. #2 **retired** (measured: max 2 atlases/shop vs C's cap of 2; mint at 16 items/1024², only the
+  real POS shop at 2048²; the mecca case served by crate rotation — the remedy the risk itself named).
+  #3 **retired — designed out, not solved**: it assumed fuzzy name-matching, and there is no matcher;
+  Monster Robot is in *neither* census nor OSM, so no matcher could ever have found it. #4 **split**:
+  write-back retired by John's ruling-as-mechanism (`/reserve`+`/buy` absent, not stubbed — you can't race a
+  verb that doesn't exist), the `gone` read carried to F's #4. Two new carried: **#6 orphaned atlas**,
+  **#7 "real" is one shop wide** (14/15 are mint — honest and marked, but the headline rests on one shop).
+- **The gate that armed itself.** My R25 orphan gate SKIPped on `newtown_godverse` while no atlas keyed
+  there; G's mint atlases landed and it **began binding unattended** — 156,211 → **156,212**, and that +1 is
+  the gate arming itself. Near-miss carried: redhill's lift drops keyed shop **2286 "Empire Revival"**;
+  G stocked neighbour **2287**. Stocking 2286 today would orphan it.

+## The stock ladder (v5 — THE REAL SHOP; frozen at `v5.0`, ROUND27 ledger #6)
+
+> **v4 made the towns real; v5 makes the shops real.** The map-level contract above is unchanged by this
+> epoch: **stock is DATA, not world.** The charter's determinism boundary is the load-bearing line —
+> *world = seeded, frozen, golden-gated; stock = data tiers riding the asset law.* Nothing in this section
+> may move a plan golden, and nothing in it did: the whole epoch left synthetic `0x3fa36874`, gig
+> `0xb1d48ea1`, the marched fixtures and classic untouched.
+
+**The tier ladder.** Each rung is fully playable and degrades **softly** to the one below — the fail-soft
+pattern proven since `?noassets` on day one, made structural:
+
+| tier | what | flag | deterministic? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **0 · parody** | seeded canvas sleeves (v1) | any boot | yes — the QA baseline |
+| **1 · static real** | per-shop atlases baked from dealgod/POS | `?stock=real`, **no server** | yes — atlases are files |
+| **2 · live GODVERSE** | thriftgod read-only endpoints; sold-means-gone | server reachable | **no — by design** |
+
+**The offline law (charter law #1) is the epoch's gate, not a footnote:** the server *enriches, never
+gates*. No boot path, gate, or tag may depend on a reachable server. Tier 2 is therefore **never inside a
+golden or a byte-identical assert**; it gets its own smoke class whose server lifecycle the gate itself
+controls, so the *assertion* is deterministic even though the *stock* isn't.
+
+**`sourcing` is not `tier`** (C's ruling, R26 — and it's the distinction that keeps the ladder honest). The
+rung and the provenance are different axes, and both ship in every atlas index:
+- **`tier: 1`** — the ladder rung. A minted atlas is *still* a static file, so it is *still* rung 1.
+- **`sourcing: "real" | "mint"`** — where the contents came from. **`real`** = a POS snapshot (Monster Robot
+  Party's actual crates). **`mint`** = a seeded `random.Random(shop_id)` sample of real dealgod listings —
+  *plausible, not that shop's stock*. Only one shop in the world has a POS; minting is how the other keyed
+  shops get distinct crates **without pretending to data we don't hold**. Current pack: **15 keyed atlases =
+  1 real + 14 mint**. No gate, doc, or human may read a mint crate as real — that is the whole point of the
+  field, and gates assert on it.
+
+**The id-space fences.** Three namespaces meet at the crate, and **every collision this epoch came from
+comparing across them**. They are fences, not decoration:
+
+| space | form | scope | fenced from |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **plan `shop.id`** | small int, `0..N` per town | one CityPlan, local | `godverseShopId` — **numerically overlapping** |
+| **`godverseShopId`** | census id (**≤2992**) ∪ dealgod store id (e.g. **3962749**) | the stock namespace | its two halves are numerically **disjoint by construction** (G) |
+| **atlas slot id** | **`sku_<POS id>`** / **`mint_<listing id>`** | one atlas index | each other, by **prefix** |
+
+- **plan id vs `godverseShopId` — never compare a bare number across them.** They are *semantically*
+  disjoint namespaces that *numerically overlap*, which is the trap: in `redhill_godverse` today, bare
+  **`31`** is **"Wholefood Cafe"** as a plan id and **"Silky Oak Furnature"** as a godverse id. That exact
+  ambiguity made F's `enterShop(31)` enter the wrong shop and a soft-fall assertion pass **vacuously on the
+  wrong subject**. Verified still live in the data — so this is a standing rule, not a fixed bug.
+- **`sku_` vs `mint_` is a sourcing-scoped namespace fence** (C §7.2a as amended, R26 wave 4). A crate
+  wearing the other sourcing's prefix **fails**. The fence is *stronger* than the rule it replaced: the easy
+  green was deleting the prefix check; instead the prefix now proves its sourcing.
+- **Positional ids are banned** (R25): `rec_0000…` numbering collides across packs by construction, which
+  is what made the integrator's own id-equality gate vacuous. Slot ids are sku-derived and unique across
+  packs, stable across re-emits.
+
+**The manifest — `web/assets/stock_godverse/index.json`** (G emits, F consumes, E validates, C's §7.2d).
+It declares **which `godverseShopId`s carry atlases** (`types[]` + `sourcing` per entry; mint included).
+**Existence is declared, never probed.** This is the root fix for a real collision between two laws:
+fail-soft-by-404 vs the zero-console-errors law — the runtime used to probe blind and eat 404 noise,
+tolerated by attribution, which is a workaround, not a design. No manifest entry ⇒ no fetch ⇒ **zero 404s,
+no exceptions**. Consistency is gated both ways (an atlas on disk absent from the manifest **fails**, and
+vice versa — vacuous-gate law shape). Today: **15 entries, 15 dirs on disk.**
+
+**Lane A's seam to all of it** is exactly one field — **`godverseShopId`** (documented above): it rides the
+town cache, survives the lift onto `plan.shops[]`, and is what the runtime resolves `stock_godverse/<id>/`
+from. **`'godverseShopId' in shop` is the tier test**: present ⇒ tier-1+ candidate, absent ⇒ tier 0. The
+key is *absent, not undefined*, on every unkeyed shop — which is why the entire stock epoch moved **no plan
+golden**. `selfcheck` gates the seam per-layer (Ruling 2), including the **orphaned-atlas** check: a
+committed atlas whose shop the lift dropped is real stock keyed to a shop that isn't in the town.
+
+**Ruling 2 (law):** a godverse cache is **deliberately mixed** — a keyed GODVERSE layer + an inherited OSM
+texture layer that is legitimately unkeyed. G measured it load-bearing: census-only Red Hill was
+unshippable (306 m spacing warn, a poster inside a kerb). **No gate may assert it away** — mine did, and
+called two healthy towns broken.

+**Three corrections this doc owes to the code (measured R27, not reasoned):**
+
+1. **`gone:[sku]` → `gone:[id]`.** As ratified, §4 said bare skus. That wording predates R25's
+   `sku_<POS sku>` ids and R26's **id-namespace fence law**, and a bare number crossing two id
+   spaces is precisely the bug that law exists to stop. `gone[]` now carries the atlas's own `id`
+   verbatim, so the client does `gone.includes(item.id)` with zero transformation. *This doc was
+   the stale rule meeting a case written after it — the epoch's signature failure, and my turn.*
+2. **`items[]` drops `release_id` and `cover`.** `cover` would edge the API toward serving
+   pixels — it never should (fence #2); `release_id` identifies the *pressing*, and tier 2 speaks
+   only in *copies* (the sku). Both were design-time noise.
+3. **Write verbs answer 501, not 404.** F asserts the number, so it matters: the class defines
+   `do_GET` and nothing else, so the stdlib refuses any other method before routing exists. **501
+   is the stronger proof** — a 404 means a handler ran and declined; 501 means there is no write
+   handler in the process. Adding `do_POST` to answer 404 would implement the forbidden thing.
+
 Design rules:
 
 - **The atlas is never served by the API.** Covers stay static files (tier 1). The server sends
   *facts* (what's still there, what it costs), never pixels. A tier-2 shop with a dead server is
   visually identical to tier 1 — that's the fail-soft.
 - **`gone[]` is the whole point of tier 2.** The client already holds the tier-1 crate; the server
-  says only what changed. A sold record is a `sku` in `gone[]` → `collapseBuyItem()` (already
+  says only what changed. A sold record is an `id` in `gone[]` → `collapseBuyItem()` (already
   built, R9) zero-areas the sleeve. Sold-means-gone is a *diff*, not a re-fetch.
+
+> ### ⚠ `gone[]` HAS NO SUBJECT IN PRODUCTION TODAY — measured R27, and it shapes F's gate
+> The mechanism is built and correct. The **data has no movement**: Monster Robot Party's POS
+> records **5,567 sales ever** (400–800/month, Dec 2025 → Jun 2026) but **26 in July and none
+> since 2026-07-01**; the POS hasn't been *written* since **2026-07-09** (the 07-16 dump is fresh;
+> its data is stale). And **0 of crate 550's 120 records have ever sold**. So against the real POS
+> `gone` is `[]`, permanently, until the shop trades again.
+>
+> **Therefore, per the vacuous-gate law: F's sold-means-gone arm must not assert over the live POS
+> — it would pass without touching its subject.** Two honest routes, and G built the second:
+> 1. Assert `gone == []` against the real POS and **print the reason** — true, but it proves only
+>    that nothing sold.
+> 2. **Point the server at a labelled fixture** (`godverse_server.py make-fixture --sold 3` →
+>    `recordgod_fixture`, a `createdb -T` clone with N of the crate's own real skus marked sold).
+>    Verified: `counts {baked:120, live:117, gone:3}`, the three ids absent from `items[]`. This
+>    proves the **mechanism** — computed → sent → consumed → sleeve vanishes — deterministically,
+>    which is what a gate is for. Production still reads the real POS, untouched.
+>
+> **A fixture is not a lie; a green assert over an absent subject is.** The epoch has held four
+> tags on exactly that distinction.

+## Round 30 (2026-07-18) — THE ROTATION BOUNDARY VERIFY (ledger #6): **HOLDS**
+
+### → Fable / F: `day` rides RUNTIME streams only — plan generation cannot see it. Measured, not read.
+
+**Verdict: the seeded-rotation boundary HOLDS.** F's `day` salt (207bcff) touches exactly three runtime
+seams and nothing upstream: (1) `interiors.js:178` `ctx.stockSalt` from `opts.stockDay`, consumed ONLY in
+`layout.js:417` as a suffix on the `stk-*` stock-pick stream labels (room/fittings/audio streams untouched
+— `stockSalt` has exactly those two references in the tree); (2) the dig `binSeed` key `@d` tag in
+`interior_mode.js` (same null-gating: no game / day 1 / real-sourced ⇒ absent); (3) `gig_state.setWeekNight`,
+which only **selects** a night from `plan.gigs` — the whole 7-night week is generated at plan time
+(`gigs.js:227` `for night < NIGHTS`) from citySeed streams; day picks, never feeds.
+
+**How measured (three falsifiable legs):**
+1. **Grep-zero over the proven glob:** `citygen/**` = exactly 8 files, no subdirs, 2,546 lines (census
+   printed, ls-verified). `grep -riE 'day|stockDay|stockSalt'` → zero identifier hits (only lexical noise:
+   fixture name "Heydays", shop name "Sunday Stall", "today" in comments, `daylesford_real` golden keys).
+   Non-vacuous: the same pattern hits `stockDay` 4× in `world/interior_mode.js`.
+2. **Structural absence at the entry:** `generatePlanFor(seed, source, opts)` consumes `opts.{town, gigs,
+   customBands, cache, report}` only (grepped every `opts.` in citygen); both shell call sites
+   (`index.html:127`, `map.html:315`) pass `{town, gigs, customBands}` — no day exists to pass.
+3. **Day-inertness, byte-measured:** hostilely injected `{day, stockDay}` into `generatePlanFor` anyway —
+   plan JSON hash identical for day-absent / day 1 / day 37 across 3 seeds × both sources (6/6 legs,
+   e.g. synthetic 20261990 `0xec7a2d39` all three ways). Even a rogue caller can't leak day into a plan.
+
+**Goldens frozen:** selfcheck **ALL GREEN 156,352/156,352**, fingerprint `0x5f76e76` (the covenant),
+gig golden `0xec7a2d39`, all town pins (melbourne/katoomba/silverton + real caches) green, no re-pins.
+Pre-existing informational ⚠ (redhill "Empire Revival" lift-drop) unchanged, not mine, not new.
+
+## Round 27 wave 5 (2026-07-17) — THE FACADE FIX: it was every town, not just the real ones
+
+### → F: **your files hold the old covenant hashes — they are now wrong, and only you can fix them**
+This is the one thing blocking your re-gate. `scaffold_check` is **RED** until you re-pin, and I can't
+touch your files. Exact values (verified byte-identical across two fresh processes):
+
+| your file | constant | old | **new** |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `tools/flags_check.py:30` | `GOLDEN_HASH` | `0x3fa36874` | **`0x5f76e76`** |

+| `tools/qa/scaffold_check.mjs:231` | `TOWN_GOLDENS.katoomba` | `0x0f652510` | **`0xf3aafec8`** |
+| `tools/qa/scaffold_check.mjs:225` | the comment quoting all three | — | same three |
+| `tools/qa/tour_v5.py:42`, `tour_shots.py:10` | captions quoting `0x3fa36874` | — | **`0x5f76e76`** |
+
+Also: `flags_check.py:148` greps stdout for the literal `'3fa36874'` — that will silently stop matching.
+
+### The finding: the ruling's premise was wrong — **synthetic was broken too**
+The wave-5 ruling says *"synthetic follows B's canon so every golden has been green over a wrong product
+since R18"*. Half right, and the wrong half is load-bearing. **Synthetic does not follow B's canon** — it
+is broken identically, and so is the marched path, and so are the three checked-in fixtures. It is not
+"every real town since R18": it is **every town, every path, since v1**. Measured in B's canon before
+touching anything, then confirmed with my own eyes in the browser:
+
+| path | before | after |
+|---|---|---|
+| synthetic (`plan.js`) — **the classic covenant** | **0 toward / 681 away** | 681 / 0 |
+| marched-osm + the 3 fixtures | 0 / 80, 0 / 95, 0 / 19, 0 / 12 | all toward |
+| real-roads (B's finding) | 0 / 72 katoomba | **72 / 72** — matches B exactly |
+
+**The screenshot is the proof:** standing on the synthetic main street at `?classic=1`, lot 0 — three blank
+grey boxes. Walk *behind* them, into the block, and there is NUMBAT PLAYTHINGS: sign, door, windows, awning,
+facing the dirt. Same camera after the fix: CROWN TOYS & GAMES · MARBLES & KITES · NUMBAT PLAYTHINGS, a
+strip of shopfronts facing the road. **637 of 681 synthetic lots had their facade pointing at no street at
+all.**
+
+**Why it survived**: all four sites are the same one-sign error — `atan2(outward)` where the intent was
+`atan2(−outward)` — and *every one of them says so in its own comment* (`plan.js:122` "facade faces back
+down the outward normal, to the street"). The code never did what its comment said, and CITY_SPEC:71 blessed
+the result. Nobody was wrong; the spec was.
+
+### The covenant moved — John ruled it
+Fixing synthetic necessarily moves `0x3fa36874`, frozen "forever" since R16. That was not mine to decide.
+**John's ruling: amend the covenant, fix all paths** — the covenant is anti-drift machinery, not a defect
+preservative. **51 goldens re-pinned in one commit** (classic `0x3fa36874 → 0x5f76e76`, gig
+`0xb1d48ea1 → 0xec7a2d39`, 3 fixtures, 23 towns × base+gig). The amendment is recorded in CITY_SPEC as a
+one-time, ruling-gated precedent — from this hash forward the law reads as it always did.
+
+### A second bug the fix exposed (fixed here, counted)
+`buildRealRoads` seated blocks at `KERB = 4 m` **from the centreline** — but a `main` carriageway is 10 m
+wide, so its kerb is at 5 m. **Every main-street building has stood 1 m inside the road since R18.** The
+footprint never moved; only which face is the front — so it was invisible until the shopfront turned around
+and its poster landed in the traffic lane (−1.07 m). Blocks now seat behind the kerb per A's own corridor
+law (`roadWidth/2 + FOOTPATH`). Pack drops **6.4% → 6.6%**, counted, not hidden.
+
+### The cross-convention gate — built to F's lesson, not to a spec line
+F proved that measuring lots against CITY_SPEC:71's own convention is **self-agreement**: 72/72 "facing" over
+a town of blank walls. So the new gate does not restate a spec line. It **replicates Lane B's own placement
+maths** from `buildings.js` (`toWorld(lot, 0, y, d/2 + 0.02)`) and asks a physical question neither spec line
+can fudge: *does the quad the renderer actually draws land nearer the street than the lot centre?* It fires
+if A's `ry` sign drifts **or** if B's `zf` sign drifts. It would have caught this on day one of v1.
+
+## Round 27 (2026-07-17) — v5.0: the docs freeze — CITY_SPEC v5 + the risk list judged (ledger #6)
+
+### → F + Fable: **A's docs half is done and the tree is green; nothing of mine gates your tag**
+selfcheck **ALL GREEN 156,212/156,212**, classic `0x3fa36874` / gig `0xb1d48ea1` frozen, **no golden moved**
+(none should — tier 2 touches no plan, no cache, no atlas bytes). CITY_SPEC has its **v5 section** (the tier
+ladder · `sourcing` vs `tier` · the three id-space fences · the manifest · Ruling 2 · A's one seam), and the
+charter risk list is judged line by line in `V5_REAL_SHOP.md`.
+
+### The risk list: I did NOT pre-retire your gate
+Written in wave 2, so **risk #1 (latency/stutter at tier 2) is CARRIED, not retired** — your reader and
+kill-the-server gate don't exist yet, and **nothing retires that line except the gate going green**. Retiring
+it from a doc while the code is unwritten would be the exact species this epoch spent four holds catching: a
+rule meeting a case that doesn't exist yet. #2 retired (measured), #3 retired (designed out), #4 **split** —
+write-back retired by John's ruling-as-mechanism, the `gone` read carried to your #4. Two new carried lines
+(#6 orphaned atlas, #7 "real" is one shop wide).
+
+### The gate that armed itself — worth seeing, since it's the law working unattended
+My R25 orphaned-atlas gate **SKIPped** on `newtown_godverse` all through R25 ("no committed atlas keys to
+this town" — subject absent, so it said so instead of passing). The moment G's 14 mint atlases landed, it
+**started binding on its own** and passed: selfcheck went 156,211 → **156,212**, and that +1 is the gate
+arming itself. Nobody edited it. That's what the vacuous-gate law buys — a gate that waits, in the open, for
+its subject.
+
+**Live near-miss on the books → G:** `redhill_godverse`'s lift drops keyed shop **2286 "Empire Revival"**;
+you stocked its numeric neighbour **2287**. Nothing is orphaned and the gate is green — but **stocking 2286
+would orphan it today**, and the hazard grows with every shop stocked. Carried as risk #6.
+
+### One correction to the round doc's framing, for the record
+The brief lists "the manifest" and "sourcing" as if `tier` were superseded. The artifacts say otherwise, and
+**C's ruling is the precise one**: every atlas index carries **both** — `tier: 1` (the ladder rung; a mint
+atlas is *still* a static file, so still rung 1) **and** `sourcing: "real"|"mint"` (where the contents came
+from). They are different axes. The spec documents both, because collapsing them is exactly how a mint crate

 # LANE B — NOTES (measured)
 
+## Round 30 (v7.0-alpha ledger #4) — THE COLLECTION UI + the SLEEP surface: **shipped, verified against F's REAL core (nothing stubbed)**
+
+**The crate is on screen: cover thumb · title/artist · price paid · where + day found; count, day and
+cash in the standing HUD; SLEEP saves and wakes tomorrow. All of it built on `PROCITY.game` exactly as
+§30.1 publishes it — and by verify time none of it was a stub: F committed the save core (`207bcff`)
+mid-round, and every game-layer file my test server carried is byte-identical to that HEAD (diffed,
+not assumed). Lane C stubbed because F hadn't landed; B landed after F did — the wave order worked.**
+
+### What ships (`web/js/world/hud.js` — my file, my DOM-overlay patterns; +8 lines in `venue.js`, F's §30.4 filing)
+- **The game bar** (bottom-right): `day N · $cash` readout + `CRATE n` (the standing-HUD count, opens
+  the panel; `C` toggles it on the street) + `☾ SLEEP` → `game.sleep()` — enabled any time (alpha;
+  home-base gating is beta). The shell's `onDay` hook owns the wake toast; the bar just re-reads the
+  contract getters.
+- **The crate panel**: newest find first; each row = cover thumb, title/artist (C's §30.1 fallback
+  chain title → sku → slotId), `paid $p · <where> · day d`. Header totals finds + $ spent. *Where* =
+  the shop's name off the plan when the entry's `townKey` is this boot's, else the town part of its
+  townKey (`redhill godverse`) — honest, never guessed.
+- **Cover thumbs = the pack atlas, cropped in CSS.** The entry's `sku` resolves against its pack index
+  (per-shop `assets/stock_godverse/<godverseShopId>/` when set, else the town-wide `assets/models/`),
+  and the row's 44 px thumb is `background-image` + `background-size: 100/du% × 100/dv%` +
+  `background-position: u0/(1−du)` off the item's `uv` rect (origin top-left = CSS's origin, no flip —
+  the WebGL V-flip in stockpack.js is exactly the transform NOT to apply here). Zero canvas, zero
+  texture decode beyond the browser's own; B keeps its own tiny index-only fetch cache (`base|type`,
+  read-only GETs — can't fight stockpack's texture cache). Parody finds (slotId, no sku) wear a type
+  glyph by design (§30.4); so does any missing pack / unknown sku / remote (`depot:`/http) atlas.
+- **Construction-gated like the R19 selector, but on the game itself:** the HUD builds NOTHING at
+  `createHUD` — a lazy check (every 30th frame) builds the surface on first sight of a truthy
+  `window.PROCITY.game` (the shell constructs the game after the HUD). `?classic=1` / `?game=0` ⇒
+  `game` is null forever ⇒ **none of this DOM, the KeyC listener, or the help-line suffix ever
+  exists** — the gate is the game object, not a re-derivation of the flags.
+- **`venue.js` — F's §30.4 filing, fixed as filed:** the compat `venueShopId` ("tonight's venue") was
+  frozen at night-0's gig; now a live getter keyed to `PROCITY.gigs.weekNight` (0 pre-game/day-1 ⇒
+  exact pre-v7 value). No consumer of the field exists in-tree today (grepped), so the getter is pure
+  forward-correctness for whoever reads "tonight" next.
+
+### Measured (fresh contexts, port-isolated no-store server :8151 — NOT :8130/:8144 — serving a code
+### snapshot + assets symlink, so F's mid-flight edits couldn't shift under the test; snapshot later
+### diffed clean against F's landed commits)
+| check | result |
+|---|---|
+| `?classic=1` / `?game=0` (clean tab) | `game: null` · game DOM **0/5 ids** · help line byte-identical · **0 console errors** |
+| default boot | bar lazily built, `day 1 · $191` (wallet-backed start), CRATE 0 |
+| 3 finds via the REAL `game.recordFind` (godverse sku · town-wide sku · parody slotId) | CRATE 3 · head `3 finds · $92 spent` · thumbs from **both** pack bases (`stock_godverse/158/`, `models/`) — real cover art on screen (screenshotted), parody = ♪ · exactly 4 fetches (2 index + 2 atlas) |
+| foreign-town entry via the REAL `game.import()` | row reads `paid $25 · redhill godverse · day 1` (townKey fallback) · missing sku ⇒ placeholder, 0 errors |
+| sell seam (`game.removeFind`) | 4 → 3: bar + open panel both follow within one poll (≤6 frames) |
+| **SLEEP** (button) | day 1→2 · weekNight 0→1 · wake DAWN 06:30 seg 0 · `procity-save/1` on disk with day 2 + 3 entries · shell toast `🌅 day 2` · cash untouched · **`venueShopId` re-keyed 116 → 490** (the §30.4 fix, proven behaviourally) |
+| next boot (same profile) | the saved game LOADS and the bar/panel read it — persistence proven from the UI side too |
+| `?noassets` + a real-sku find | **0** stock/atlas fetches (asset law) · placeholder stands · 0 errors |
+| cost | 50-row full rebuild **0.9 ms** · first 3-row open 2.1 ms · DOM-only = 0 draws (C proved the class; unchanged) |
+
+**Honest notes:** (1) the four `THREE.PointerLockControls` console errors seen mid-drive are the
+automation browser refusing the Pointer Lock API on my splash click — reproduced click-free at zero,
+absent on every clean-tab boot; environment, not code. (2) F's splash ("walk into town") was new in
+the tree mid-round and sat over my first screenshot — noted, F's surface, untouched. (3) Beta polish,
+not done: foreign-town rows could carry real display names via E's towns index (the selector already
+fetches it) — one map at build time, when the money-shot pass comes.

+
+## Round 28 (v5.1) — ledger #2, the awning fabric ripple: **KILLED with the measurement**
+
+**Built it, proved it worked, measured what it was worth, and killed it. A 10×-over-driven billow —
+1.4 m of flap on a 0.14 m canopy — cannot move 1% of the frame. It is not the gain; it is the
+geometry. The backlog item is closed permanently, and the reason names what *would* work.**
+
+R17 shipped tree sway and parked this with a physical reason: a posted verandah is a structural roof
+and does not flutter. R28 asked for the half R17 left — the stalls' striped canopies really are cloth,
+and they shared the rigid awning InstancedMesh, so neither could move without the other. That part was
+all true, and the split worked. The cloth just turned out to be invisible.
+
+### It was built, and it worked
+Split the canopies out of the rigid mesh (own `InstancedMesh`, own subdivided box — a 4-corner box has
+nothing to ripple), gave only them a cloth billow riding R17's existing `wind.js` uniforms: a
+`sin(πu)·sin(πv)` pin (zero at the four corner posts by construction, peak mid-panel), two crossed
+travelling waves, per-instance phase off world position so forty stalls don't breathe in unison.
+Proven by **rendered-pixel hashes**, not by eye:
+| proof | result |
+|---|---|
+| the cloth actually displaces (calm vs gusty) | `40f59eaf` → `d6d3e1f1` — **moves** |
+| returning to calm reproduces the calm frame | `40f59eaf` — **identical** |
+| `uWindTime = 99` at amp 0 | `40f59eaf` — **identical** (amp 0 ⇒ `+= …*0.0`, the R17 pattern) |
+| **`?classic=1`, same fixed pose, pre- vs post-change build** | **`453c0154` → `453c0154` — byte-identical** |
+| rigid verandahs / rest of town ride the wind? | cloth+trees hidden: `76c8b518` → `76c8b518` — **still** |
+| …and the control proves I hid the right thing | cloth restored: frame **moves** again |
+Cost at `market_square`, true A/B: **+0 draws** (98 → 98) / **+2,160 tris**. +0, not the +1 I'd written
+in my own comment — the square's chunks hold *only* stalls, so the rigid list empties, `makeInstanced`
+returns null, and the cloth mesh replaces it rather than adding to it.
+
+### And it is worth nothing — the sweep (amp is the same multiplier as gain)
+| peak billow | frame changed |
+|---|---|
+| **0.02 m — CALM, the default weather amp** | **0.05%** |
+| **0.14 m — STORM, the most any player ever sees** | **0.21%** |
+| 0.35 m (2.5× over-driven) | 0.33% |
+| 0.70 m (5×, absurd on a 0.14 m slab) | 0.49% |
+| **1.40 m (10×, a canopy flapping a body-length)** | **0.77%** |
+At the player's actual browsing pose, storm-force: **0.00%, max channel delta 1**. Not one pixel.
+
+**The reason is physical, and it is the same physics that killed the verandah in R17.** A canopy is a
+horizontal sheet at y 2.2 viewed by a 1.7 m player: you see it edge-on or from underneath, so a
+*vertical* displacement runs almost parallel to the view ray and produces almost no pixel change. You
+cannot see a flat horizontal sheet flex vertically while standing under it. No gain fixes that — 10×
+buys 0.77%, and anything that large stops reading as cloth and starts reading as a trampoline.
+
+**What would work, if wind in the market is ever wanted (for whoever reads this in round 35):** the
+motion has to be *perpendicular* to the view, which means **vertical cloth** — hanging stall skirts, a
+flag, a banner, an awning valance. That is an **asset** (Lane E), not a shader. B's `applyWind` /
+`applyFabricWind` seam is ready for it the day such a mesh exists; the shader was never the missing
+piece. **Ledger #2 leaves the backlog forever.**
+
+### Kept from the round
+Nothing shipped: `buildings.js` and `wind.js` are byte-identical to HEAD. Shipping an invisible ripple
+would have cost 2,160 tris and a second draw path in the covenant town to move 0.05% of a calm frame.
+*The R17 rule was "ships or dies". It died — and it died with numbers, which is the only way an item
+this old stops coming back.*
+
+**Two vacuous measurements caught on the way (the epoch's own disease, still catching me):** (1) a
+`!!material.onBeforeCompile` check to prove the rigid verandah was untouched — every `THREE.Material`
+inherits a prototype no-op, so it is **always** truthy; the assert could never go red, and I replaced it
+with `hasOwnProperty` plus a behavioural hide-and-hash control. (2) a gain sweep that reported the
+identical 0.21% at gains 0.4→4.0 because I never stored the shader ref, so `uFabricGain` never moved —
+**four identical numbers across a 10× range is a sweep that proves nothing**, and it was the constancy,
+not the value, that gave it away. Both would have passed as green.
+
+---
+
+## Round 27 wave 4 — `poseForShopFront` shipped · **and every real town's shops face away from the street**
+
+**The micro-task is done and verified. In doing it I found why F photographed empty road: it is not
+the pose. Every shopfront in every OSM town has faced away from its street since R18, and the tours
+have been photographing the backs of buildings for nine rounds. Root cause is a CITY_SPEC that
+contradicts itself. The fix is one line in A's `plan_osm.js` — proven, then reverted, because it
+isn't mine and it needs a ruling.**
+
+### 1. The deliverable — `DBG.poseForShopFront(sel, dist = 8)`
+Poses at a NAMED SHOP's frontage: door centred, sign band + R26 crate mark in shot, under the verandah.
+`clusterPose()` answers "where is the town's HEART", which is the wrong question for a named shop —
+Red Hill's heart doesn't contain Monster Robot, which is exactly how F got three frames of empty road.
+
+Keyed through **one shop selector**: F's R22/R24 resolver lived inside `enterShop()`, so I extracted it
+rather than grow a second key scheme beside it — a selector bug resolves the wrong shop *and looks like
+it worked* (F's own first cut proved that), so the id-namespace law now has exactly one home.
+Verified live, and this is the case that matters:
+| call | resolves to | |
+|---|---|---|
+| `poseForShopFront(31)` | **Wholefood Cafe** (plan id 31) | + `ambiguous:` "31 is also the godverseShopId of Silky Oak Furnature — use 'g:31'" |
+| `poseForShopFront('g:31')` | **Silky Oak Furnature** (godverse id 31) | the prefix IS the fence |
+| `poseForShopFront('g:999999')` | `{error}` | never throws, never guesses |
+
+Framing proven by **projection**, not by eye — `doorCentreNdcX = 0.0000` (exactly), door / sign / mark
+all inside the frustum. Derived from buildings.js rather than hardcoded: door is centred on the lot
+front (so `off = 0`, unlike `poseForShop`'s `off = 1.0`); sign band is `min(h,FACADE_H)−0.35 ± 0.25` ⇒
+**y 2.40–2.90**; the mark is **y 2.45–2.52**; `camY = 2.0` sits below the `AWNING_Y = 2.95` verandah, so
+a ray rising to a target ≤ 2.9 can never cross it — the sign is clear *by geometry*, at any distance.
+
+### 2. Correcting my own R27 intel to F — I gave F two wrong numbers
+My R27 note said the mark "rides high (y ≈ 3.3)" and the vinyl landmark blocks only 4% of it. **Both
+wrong.** The mark is at y 2.45–2.52; I had ray-scanned y 3.0–3.6, which is empty awning air *above the
+sign* — that is why it read ~0. Re-measured on the true band: the `novelty_record` disc (top y **2.50**)
+reaches **into** the mark band and clips **~15% of the strip from every offset** — moving the camera only
+changes *which* 15%, so there is nothing to dodge. The recommendation (**shoot head-on**) survives, but
+for the opposite reason to the one I gave: not because the vinyl is clear of the mark, but because it
+never isn't, and the repeating spines read through it anyway.
+
+### 3. THE FINDING — real-town shopfronts face the paddock, not the street
+Standing on Musgrave Road (Monster Robot's own `frontEdge: 1316`) and looking at the shop returns a
+**blank grey back wall**: no sign, no door, no windows, no mark. Measured, not eyeballed:
+| town | shop lots w/ frontEdge | facing their street | **180° backwards** |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `redhill_godverse` | 35 | **0** | **35** (dot = −1.000) |
+| `katoomba_real` | 72 | **0** | **72** (dot = −1.000) |
+| synthetic (default) | — | — | none — looks right, always has |
+
+dot = **−1.000 exactly**, every lot, both towns: a convention, not a defect. Katoomba's `street_noon` —
+the bookmark the release tours have shot for nine rounds — is **46 draws / 19,680 tris of bare road**.
+
+**Root cause: CITY_SPEC contradicts itself, and the two generators each implement one half.**
+- **CITY_SPEC:71** (the lots contract): *"ry: … a GLB modelled facing −Z ends up with its facade's OUTWARD
+  normal pointing at frontEdge. **World facing = (−sin ry, −cos ry)**"* → **−Z is the facade.**
+- **CITY_SPEC:335** (posters, R15): *"seated on the **+Z street facade** (**B's canon**: buildings.js facade +
+  venue.js door/queue/camera are all +Z; `lot + (sin ry, cos ry)·(d/2+ε)`)"* → **+Z is the facade.**
+
+`plan_osm.js:443` obeys the first (`ry = atan2(nx, nz)`, its comment says *"facade (−Z) faces road"*).
+`plan.js` (synthetic), `buildings.js`, `venue.js` and the R15 posters obey the second. Synthetic — the
+town every golden and every one of us tests — follows B's canon and looks correct, which is precisely
+why nine rounds of real-town work never caught it. **This is the epoch's own signature species: a rule
+meeting a case written after it.** The +Z canon is the de-facto standard (v1→v5, every synthetic golden,
+posters R15 ledger #1); `plan_osm.js` is the lone dissenter.
+
+**Proven, then reverted.** One line in A's file — `ry = Math.atan2(-nx, -nz)` — flips katoomba from
+**0/72 facing → 72/72 facing**, and turns B's `poseForShopFront` camera from **26 m out in a paddock into
+4 m from Musgrave Road**: the money shot F specified, shopfront + mark + kerb + a citizen at the door.
+I did not commit it. It is A's file, it moves every real-town plan (⇒ real-town goldens re-pin under
+amendment law), and a spec that contradicts itself is Fable's to rule on, not mine to pick a side of.
+
+**This also re-reads my own R22 diagnosis.** I recorded "chunk-buildings **348 tris** (0.2%)" in katoomba's
+busiest venue block and credited the atlas/instancing work. 348 tris is ~29 boxes: that was not efficiency,
+it was the buildings being **absent from the frame**, and I read the evidence as a win. The number was
+right; my reading of it was wrong, for five rounds.
+
+Files: `web/js/world/dbg.js` (the helper + the extracted selector). No other lane's file touched.
+
+---
+
+## Round 27 (on-call) — the R26 handshake **verified against G's real manifest**; intel for F's #5 money shot
+
+R27 owes B nothing (*"B/D: notes current; nothing else owed"*, *"B/D on-call"*). This is on-call work: F's
+tour (#5) is specified as *Monster Robot Party's frontage, **B's mark visible*** — a claim my R26 verification
+could not actually test, because G's manifest didn't exist yet and I proved the treatment against a **temp
+manifest I scaffolded and deleted**. G has since shipped the real one (`36d10ca`). Claim now measured, not
+assumed.
+
+**Monster Robot Party is in `redhill_godverse`, not `newtown_godverse`** — the only town B ever tested the
+mark in. F's money shot is posed in a town this treatment had never been verified against. It works.
+
+### The R26 handshake held, unmodified
+G's real emission is `{version:1, shops:[{godverseShopId, types, sourcing}]}` — 15 entries, lands inside B's
+tolerant reader (`.shops`, objects carrying `godverseShopId`) with **zero coordination**, exactly as the R26
+note promised. **The `tier` → `sourcing` rename (Fable's waves-1-2 ruling) did not touch B**: the mark
+deliberately never reads that field, so a rename of it cannot break the footpath. *The "don't leak tier"
+call paid a dividend it wasn't designed for — a cue that reads no field cannot break when the field moves.*
+
+### Both arms proven live — the discriminating arm for the first time
+R26's temp manifest marked **all 18** keyed shops, so "manifest is the authority, not the key" was never
+actually exercised. G's real manifest makes it load-bearing: redhill has **9 keyed, only 4 stocked**.
+Measured at Monster Robot's frontage (live chunk set), ground truth vs render:
+| shop | keyed | in manifest | rendered |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Monster Robot Party #3962749** (`real`) | ✓ | ✓ | **marked** ✓ |
+| Silky Oak Furnature #31 | ✓ | ✗ | **bare** ✓ |
+| Thrift Shop and Eternity Boutique #908 | ✓ | ✗ | **bare** ✓ |
+
+Two keyed shops stand metres from a stocked one wearing no mark, because they have no crate. **The street
+advertises exactly the crates that exist.** (#31 is the same shop as Fable's R25 id-namespace bug — its
+godverse id collides with a plan id; the mark reads `godverseShopId` only, so it is unaffected.)
+
+Frontage: **135 draws / 74,354 tris**, 0 page errors, manifest prefetched at boot.
+
+### Intel for F's #5 (no action needed from B)
+The **`novelty_record` landmark** (B's furniture — a giant 0x1a1a1a vinyl disc on a post, marking record
+shops) stands 2.5 m off Monster Robot's frontage and is **prominent in the head-on frame**. Measured
+occlusion by ray-grid, so F can frame without guessing:
+| band | head-on (8 m) | off-axis (+4 m) |
+|---|---|---|
+| **mark + sign** | **4%** blocked | 0% |
+| window glass | 22% blocked | **44%** blocked |
+
+**Shoot head-on.** The vinyl sits low (y≈1.3) and the mark rides high (y≈3.3), so it never meaningfully
+occludes the mark; stepping off-axis *doubles* the window occlusion instead of helping. A giant vinyl record
+in the frame of a record-shop money shot is a feature, not a blemish. *(I first read the black disc as a
+render bug — it isn't; it's the landmark doing its job. Recorded so the next reader doesn't re-open it.)*
+
+No code changed this round; notes-only.
+

+
+### DO NOT use a PannerNode. It is inert here. (measured)
+Nothing in the tree sets `ctx.listener` — zero hits, whole tree. A `PannerNode` therefore resolves against

+is *the room's own centre, forever*. Measured via `OfflineAudioContext`, a stage bed in a real pub:

+position/spatialise the bed"* — which invites exactly the panner, in a codebase with no listener code to
+teach otherwise. Both halves of that note were wrong: the *shape* (the engine holds no reference to the
+room group and cannot traverse a scene it can't reach) and the *method*. It is retired.
+
+**The house idiom is already correct**: every spatial effect B ships — tram rumble (R=55), door spill
+(R=9), gig spill (R=26, low-passed through the wall) — is a hand-rolled distance-gain against
+`PROCITY.camera.position`. No listener, no panner. Emitters are the same shape as what already works.

-right default for an interior anyway.
+1. `room.audio.emitters` — the data above. Rides the **existing** `playInterior(room.audio)` call: no new
+   lifecycle, no traverse, no dispose hook.
+2. **The till rings from the counter** (`dig.js`) — *audible positioning in a normal shop, with no engine
+   change*, via B's already-public `playSfx(key, {gain})`: C does its own distance math and hands B a
+   scalar. Measured through the real BUY button in a real record shop — **0.9489 at the counter (0.60 m)
+   vs 0.6436 at the door (4.19 m), 3.37 dB**; negative control (`emitters` omitted) fires at exactly
+   **1.0**. `sfx-till.ogg` has been on disk since 15 Jul and had **never once played**. Routing, not content.
+3. **`?mute=1` now actually silences the crate riffle** — see the house-law fix below.
+
+**Why the venue half is an ask and the shop half wasn't:** a **one-shot** resolves its gain once, at fire
+time, from a position C already knows — so C can do it alone. A **bed** must be re-gained every frame from
+inside the engine's `update()` loop. That loop is B's file. The split is structural, not political.
+
+## ASK → Lane B (audio.js) — ~12 lines, paste-ready, house-idiomatic
+Gives the round its venue half: *the band comes from the stage, not from the whole room.*
+```js
+// near the other interior state:
+let iEmit = null, iMusicG = 0.5, iToneG = 0.35;
+
+async function playInterior(spec) {
+  // … existing body …
+  iEmit  = spec.emitters || null;          // [R28] Lane C — where the beds sound from (gig night only)
+  iMusicG = mEntry?.gain ?? 0.5;
+  iToneG  = tEntry?.gain ?? 0.35;
+  swapBed(L.iMusic, spec.musicKey || null, mEntry || null, iMusicG, 1.0);
+  swapBed(L.iTone,  spec.toneKey  || null, tEntry || null, iToneG, 1.0);
+}
+function stopInterior() { iEmit = null; ramp(L.iMusic.g.gain, 0, 0.7); ramp(L.iTone.g.gain, 0, 0.7); }
+
+// in update(), alongside the tram/spill blocks — the SAME idiom, no panner, no ctx.listener:
+if (!street && iEmit && iEmit.stage) {
+  const e = iEmit.stage, d = Math.hypot(e.x - _cam.x, e.z - _cam.z);
+  const k = e.floor + (1 - e.floor) * Math.max(0, Math.min(1, (e.r - d) / e.r));
+  ramp(L.iMusic.g.gain, (L.iMusic.src ? iMusicG : 0) * k, 0.25);
+  ramp(L.iTone.g.gain,  (L.iTone.src  ? iToneG  : 0) * k, 0.25);
+}
+```
+Emitters are room-local; the interior camera is room-local. Same space, no transform. Your call entirely —
+C has not touched audio.js.
+
+**Second, smaller ask (not this round):** expose the sfx bus or the ctx so `dig.js` can retire its private
+AudioContext (below). C will not open that seam unilaterally.
+
+## ASK → Lane F (interior_mode.js) — 1 line, and it is load-bearing
+`interior_mode.js:289` rebuilds the audio spec on a gig night and **drops every field it doesn't name**:
+```js
+const gigAudio = gigOn && ra.gigKey ? { musicKey: ra.gigKey, toneKey: WALLA_KEY } : ra;
+```
+Measured against a real gig-night pub: `quietNight_emittersSurvive: true`, **`gigNight_emittersSurvive:
+false`**. So emitters reach B on every night *except the one night the stage emitter exists for* — silently,
+fail-soft, no error. Don't just spread `ra`: the split is real and should be **deliberate**, because on a
+quiet night the radio and the room-tone genuinely *are* room-filling.
+```js
+// [R28] On a gig night BOTH beds come from the stage — music = the band, tone = the crowd in front of it.
+// On a quiet night the radio + room-tone fill the room, so no emitter is passed. Deliberate, not a spread.
+const gigAudio = gigOn && ra.gigKey
+  ? { musicKey: ra.gigKey, toneKey: WALLA_KEY, emitters: ra.emitters }
+  : { musicKey: ra.musicKey, toneKey: ra.toneKey };
+```
+**Also, when you next touch `openDig`:** pass `emitters: current.audio.emitters` to `dig.open()` and the
+till becomes positional. Optional — omitted, it still rings, just un-positioned. Never required.
+
+## House-law fix — `?mute=1` did not silence the crate riffle (R5 → R28)
+`dig.js` opened a **second, private AudioContext** wired straight to `destination`, breaking both of
+audio.js's stated laws (*ONE AudioContext*; *`?mute=1` forces silence*). The riffle sang right through
+`?mute=1` and never saw B's master gain. **It survived three epochs because no gate asserts mute ⇒
+silence** — the engine returns its silent surface and looks honest from its own side, while the sound came
+from somewhere the engine never knew existed. *A gate that asks the engine whether it is muted can only
+ever answer yes.*
+
+Fixed in `dig.js` by reading B's **public** `.muted` getter (consulted, not modified), falling back to the
+URL when there is no engine (standalone `interior_test.html`). Measured, with a positive control so the
+instrument is provably able to see sound:
+
+| | AudioContexts built | sounds started |
+|---|---|---|
+| live (mute off), after a riffle | 1 | 1 |
+| **muted, same riffle** | **0** | **0** |
+
+The blips stay **procedural** on purpose: zero-fetch, deterministic, and they still work under
+`?noassets=1` where a sampled riffle cannot. Only mute was broken; only mute was fixed.
+
+**-> F: assert SILENCE, not muted-state.** The honest gate is *"no second AudioContext exists / no source
+starts under `?mute=1`"* — with a positive control proving the probe can see a sound when one is played.

+## 8. Tier-2 live enrichment — the seam (v5.0, R27 ledger #2) → Lane F
+
+**Ruling: bless the direct wire — no new lifecycle hook. But the `gone` *application form* is C's, and it's
+landed in `dig.js`.** The question wasn't hook-vs-no-hook; it was *how* `gone` applies.
+
+**1. Lifecycle — no hook needed.** F already holds `currentAdapter` (`interior_mode.js:67`) and passes it to
+`dig.open()` **per dig** (`:111`) — a fresh read every time a crate is opened. When the live read lands, F
+updates the pack; the next dig picks it up. If the read hasn't landed, hasn't finished, or failed, the
+adapter is simply the tier-1 pack — **the dig never blocks on the network** (charter risk #1) and no C
+lifecycle changes.
+
+**2. The form — pick-then-omit, NEVER filter-the-array.**
+`pack.gone` = a `Set`/array of ids the live read reports sold. C picks from the **full, stable `items[]`**
+and omits gone ids **after** the draw.
+- **Why (measured, R27, 5 crates):** filtering `items[]` first **reshuffles the crate** — every pick indexes
+  by position, so **one sale changed 21 OTHER records**. Pick-then-omit: **0 collateral**. A crate with 3
+  sold shows 13, not a different 16.
+- **Both forms hide the sold record** — so **“the gone item never renders” cannot tell them apart.** → **F:
+  the sandbox proof (#4) must assert on *collateral* (the survivors are unchanged across a `gone` delta),
+  not just absence. The obvious assertion is vacuous here.** (Vacuous-gate law, third application — and the
+  cheapest one to get wrong, because it goes green.)
+- **Proven in the real dig:** sold record gone · survivors **4/4** kept · **collateral 0** · `items[]`
+  untouched (120).
+
+**3. F's invariant — `items[]` identity and order ARE the pick's stability.**
+- **Do:** update item *fields* in place (live `price`) — free, no reshuffle; the card reads `it.price` at
+  pull time, so a live price shows on the next pull.
+- **Never:** add, remove, or reorder `items[]`. That is what `pack.gone` exists for.
+
+**4. The determinism boundary sits exactly here.** Server down ⇒ no `gone`, no live fields ⇒ the dig is
+tier 1, deterministic and gate-able. Server up ⇒ the crate legitimately changes as records sell — tier 2 is
+non-deterministic **by design** (charter law #2). So **no gate may assert dig determinism with the server
+up**, and no live value may enter a seeded stream or a golden: `pack.gone` is consumed at pick time and
+never persisted.
+
+**5. The bin fan is decorative, not inventory.** The room's visible sleeves are built at `buildInterior` from
+a *different* seeded pick than the dig's offers — a fan, not the crate's contents. A sold record's cover may
+linger in the fan until the room rebuilds. If we ever want the fan to honour `gone`, **that** is when I'd
+publish a post-build hook; it is not needed for the epoch's claim, because the crate you *riffle* is true.
+
+---
+
+## 9. The sell counter (v7.0-alpha, R30 ledger #2) → Lanes F/B
+
+**The mirror of the buy card.** Walk to the keeper's counter holding items the shop trades in → a sell
+card (the same manila price-sticker treatment as the dig's pull panel): item, OFFER, SELL. Module:
+`web/js/interiors/sell.js` — DOM-only (zero draws, zero GPU resources), same consumer pattern as
+`dig.js` (C ships the interaction; F owns the in-game input/mode hook).
+
+### 9.1 THE OFFER — the no-pump law, structural (the multiplier and why)
+
+```js
+sellOffer(pricePaid) = min(pricePaid − 1, max(1, floor(pricePaid × 0.5)))     // and never < 0
+```
+
+- **The multiplier is 0.5** — the classic secondhand-dealer margin (a keeper pays about half of what
+  he'll sticker it at; he has to eat too). It keeps selling *meaningful* (half your money back beats a
+  full crate of duds) without being an income source.
+- **The `min(pricePaid − 1, …)` clamp is the law made structural, not tuned:** the offer is **strictly
+  below what you paid for every `pricePaid ≥ 1`** (at `p = 1` the offer is $0 and the SELL button
+  disables — the keeper won't buy what he can't sticker; at `p = 2` the naive `max(1, floor(p/2)) = 1`
+  would meet the clamp anyway — the clamp exists so no future retune of the multiplier can ever push an
+  offer to break even). **Buy-then-immediately-sell therefore loses ≥ $1 per round trip, always** —
+  F's no-pump gate (`R30 ledger #5`, monotonic cash loss) holds **by construction**, and a change to
+  this formula that breaks that property is a contract violation, not a balance pass.
+- **Alpha basis = `pricePaid`.** The alpha carries no guide-band data (the BIBLE bands are beta), and
+  in the alpha every buy happens at the shop's asking price — so `pricePaid` IS the buy-side price the
+  player faced. **Beta swaps only the basis, not the shape:** when E's guide bands land, the offer
+  becomes `min(bandLow − 1, max(1, floor(bandLow × 0.5)))` — below the band's *low* edge by
+  construction, so a gem bought under band still nets its finder margin only against the band, never
+  against the keeper. The formula's clamp survives the swap untouched.
+
+### 9.2 What the keeper buys (alpha: type = type, strict)
+
+- `sellableIn(shopType, item)` ⇔ `item.type === shopType`. A record shop buys records, a book shop
+  books — **any** shop of the type (per-keeper taste, haggling, pawn-buys-everything: all beta, not
+  built).
+- **An item with no `type` is NOT sellable — fail-closed** (vacuous-gate law: a matcher that passes an
+  untyped item would "match" everywhere). **→ Lane F ASK:** stamp `type` (the registry stock type:
+  `record`/`book`/`toy`/…) on every collection item at buy time — the R30 published shape
+  (`{townKey, godverseShopId|shopId, sku|slotId, pricePaid, dayFound}`) doesn't carry it, and without
+  it nothing is sellable anywhere. Carrying `title`/`artist` too is strongly asked (B's collection UI
+  needs them; my card falls back to the sku/slotId label when absent — ugly but honest).
+
+### 9.3 The seam — money like buying, removal via the game API only
+
+- **C consumes `window.PROCITY.game.collection` READ-ONLY.** The card never splices, reorders, or
+  mutates it (same species of law as §8.3's `items[]`).
+- **`onSell(item, offer)`** is the single side-effect callback — the exact mirror of the dig's
+  `onBuy(offer)` (the proven wallet seam). The **consumer** (F) does both halves: credit the wallet,
+  remove the item from the collection **through the game API**. `onSell` returning `false` = keeper
+  veto: card unchanged, nothing moves.
+- `wallet.sell(item, offer)` is provided (C-owned `wallet.js`, mirrors `buy()`): credits `offer`,
+  drops the matching v0-inventory entry, notifies. F binds it exactly like it binds `wallet.buy`.
+- Till ring: the sale rings `'till'` from the counter emitter (the R28 one-shot pattern, same
+  distance-gain math as the dig's) — silent-and-happy with no engine / `?mute` / `?noassets`.
+
+### 9.4 The trigger + the card
+
+- **Where:** within **`SELL_DIST = 2.0 m`** of `room.counter.pose` (bench centre, room-local — the
+  frame the interior camera walks in). Helper exported: `nearCounter(room, pos, dist?)`.
+- **Suggested E routing for F** (matches my harness): aimed bin → dig (unchanged) · else near counter
+  with ≥ 1 sellable → sell card · else shelf-buy. Pointer unlocks while the card is up (dig precedent).
+- **The card:** one item at a time — artist/title (or the sku/slotId fallback), the round OFFER
+  sticker, SELL, `‹ ›` cycling when more than one sellable, ✕/Esc closes. `open()` returns `false`
+  (no card, no DOM) when nothing is sellable.
+
+### 9.5 Fail-soft (the classic-pure law, C's half)
+
+No game layer (`?classic=1` / `?game=0` ⇒ `window.PROCITY.game` absent) → the consumer never opens
+the sell UI, **and** `open()` itself returns `false` on a missing/empty item list — zero errors, zero
+DOM, zero localStorage. `createSell()` allocates DOM only; `dispose()` removes every node + listener.
+
+### 9.6 API (loader-exact, per the §7 rule: the code is the contract)
+
+```js
+import { createSell, sellOffer, sellableIn, nearCounter, SELL_MULT, SELL_DIST } from './js/interiors/sell.js';
+const sell = createSell();
+sell.open({ shopType, shopName, items, getCash, onSell, onClose, emitters })  // → bool (false = nothing sellable)
+sell.close();  sell.dispose();  sell.active                                    // mirrors dig.js

+## ROUND 29 — v6 SPIKE 1: `look.glb` bound and wired — peds glance (wave 0)
+
+*PROCITY-D, 2026-07-17. The spike finally reaches the game: E's `look.glb` (mesh-free, 65 joints, 6.5 s
+'Look') is bound through the fleet gate and street peds now glance around during window-shop stops. `lean`
+is not here and never was — E measured the stash (R28). Goldens untouched (clips sit outside every plan
+hash); the synthetic anchor is R27's amended `0x5f76e76`, unchanged by me.*
+
+### What shipped
+- **`rigs.js` — `loadPedFleet(base, { sit, look })`** → `fleet.lookClip`, the exact twin of the R16 sit gate.
+  The shell passes `look: !CLASSIC`, so **`?classic` fetches nothing** — a raw fetch would have breached the
+  zero-fetch-delta covenant (E flagged this; the gate is the answer).
+- **`makeActor({ …, lookClip })`** → a `lookA` action **played only on `setLooking(true)`**, so walkers,
+  placeholders and `?classic` never advance it. `setLooking` **crossfades** (0.3 s) rather than snapping the
+  way sit does — idle → idle-variant reads naturally, and there's no discrete replant for a fade to fight.
+- **`sim.js`** — a dedicated `glance` rng stream (`rng(citySeed,'glance',id)`), rolled **always** (deterministic)
+  but only flipped when a clip exists ⇒ classic inert at the source. **Mutually exclusive with the bench-sit**:
+  the sit rolls first at 35 %, the glance takes 40 % of what's left. `RigPool` threads `lookClip`; release
+  snaps the glance off so no rig is pooled mid-look.
+
+### The finding — I predicted this needed no re-plant, and the measurement said otherwise
+I wrote in my own first draft that a *standing* clip needs no foot re-plant ("no hip descent to recover —
+that trap was sit's alone"). **Wrong, and the numbers caught it:**
+
+| lowest bone over the full loop | idle clip | **look.glb, no plant** |
+|---|---|---|
+| min → max | −0.04 → 0.00 (span **4 cm**) | −0.009 → **+0.205** (span **21 cm**) |
+
+The ped **hovers up to 20.5 cm** (`mixamorigLeftToe_End` clean off the ground), drifting through the loop. It
+is the sit trap wearing a different coat: `_rotOnly` drops the Hips POSITION track (rig-height independence),
+so the clip's authored weight-shift **dip cannot move the hips — it comes out as the feet rising instead**.
+Sit's one-time replant cannot fix it because **the float varies frame to frame**.
+
+**Fix: `plantFeet()` — the per-frame twin of sit's replant.** Reset to the bind plant → measure the posed
+feet → drop `inner` by float / scale. **Absolute (reset→measure→correct), never incremental, so it cannot
+drift.** It reproduces the authored motion *exactly*: the hips dip relative to the ground instead of the feet
+leaving it. Scale-aware like sit's. Foot bones cached once; cost paid **only** by glancing peds, and only on
+frames their mixer actually ran (both mixer sites — the drummer's post-mix lean taught me that coupling rule).
+
+### Proofs
+| | before | after |
+|---|---|---|
+| foot float over the loop | **0.205 m** | **0.000 m** (pinned) |
+| head yaw sweep (the glance itself) | — | **span 1.735** (−0.85 → +0.89) |
+| `?classic`: look fetch / `Look` action / glance flips | — | **none / none / 0** — inert at the source |
+| identity signature | `-1,-1#0:6:0:1.777:1.171:1:-1` | **unchanged — no `glance` term** |
+| sit ∧ glance simultaneously | — | **0** (mutually exclusive) |
+| NaN | 0 | **0** |
+| goldens | `0x5f76e76` | **`0x5f76e76`** untouched |
+
+A glancing ped is **not** tagged `procitySeated`/`procityPosed` — it is a standing pose at standing stature,
+so F's no-giants gate needs no exemption arm for it.
+
+### Handshakes
+- **D → F:** **the pose gate has its subject** — un-SKIP it. A fresh `?localdepot=1` boot shows a ped glancing
+  on the footpath, head sweeping, feet planted (screenshot taken). Classic/`?noassets` untouched.
+- **Spike 2 readiness:** `plantFeet()` is the general machinery the brief wanted ("data, not new code") — the
+  riffle and the wall-lean will land as **clip + roll**, not new pose code. The lean's wall-contact placement
+  is the only genuinely new thing it will need.
+- **Stale line spotted (A's file, A rests):** `selfcheck.js:301` still says *"the synthetic golden above stays
+  0x3fa36874"* while line 267 pins the R27-amended `0x5f76e76`. A comment, not a rule — but it is the same
+  species as the epoch's five holds (a line outliving the case that wrote it), so: flagged, not touched.

+
+## ROUND 28 — v5.1 THE SWEEP: instrument LOD — **KILLED with the measurement** (ledger #4)
+
+*PROCITY-D, 2026-07-17. The oldest tri item on the books (v3.1-era). The brief attached the wind-sway rule:
+**"if the measured win is <20k tris in practice, KILL the item with the measurement and it leaves the
+backlog forever."** It does not survive. **E: do not build the `_lo` variants — that work is now unnecessary.***
+
+### The measurement
+Instrument tri counts, parsed straight from the shipped depot GLBs (`web/assets/models/`):
+
+| instrument | tris |
+|---|---|
+| electric_guitar | 14,000 |
+| bass_guitar | 14,000 |
+| drum_kit | 14,000 |
+| guitar_amp | 14,000 |
+| mic_stand | 14,000 |
+| **band + amp, all on stage** | **70,000** |
+
+On paper that clears the bar: a 3–4k `_lo` each would "save" ~52k. **But the rule says *in practice*, and the
+brief named the reason — "interiors are close-quarters."** So I measured the rooms an LOD would have to fire in
+(live, all three venue archetypes, `interiorMode` driven by hand since rAF is throttled):
+
+| venue | room | **max diagonal** | room tris (no band) | draws |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| pub — The Exchange Hotel | 9.7 × 9.7 m | 13.7 m | 12,522 | 38 |
+| band_room — The Vinyl Shed | 8.9 × 9.6 m | 13.0 m | 11,699 | 35 |
+| rsl — Wangaratta RSL (biggest) | 12 × 9.4 m | **15.2 m** | 15,115 | 38 |
+
+### The verdict: practical win = **0 tris**. KILLED.
+**A player can never be more than 15.2 m from the band** — that is corner-to-corner in the *largest* venue, and
+the stage sits at one end, so the real stage-to-player max is shorter still. An LOD is a *distance* trade: it
+pays when the subject is small on screen. Inside a ≤15.2 m room the band is never small — it is the subject of
+the gig, and of F's tour money shot. Any sane swap threshold (15–25 m) **never fires**; an aggressive 8 m one
+would fire only in half a room, at a distance where a 3–4 k `_lo` is *visibly* worse with no perceptual cover.
+The win is not "small" — it is **structurally zero**, because the distance the LOD needs does not exist in this
+game. **Per the wind-sway rule: killed, off the backlog forever.**
+
+No budget motivates it either: a venue interior is ~12–15 k tris, ~85 k with the band — comfortably inside the
+200 k stress ceiling E's R22 tri diet restored, at 35–38 draws against a ≤350 ceiling.
+
+### Side-observation for E (NOT a proposal — no breach motivates it)
+All five instruments are **exactly 14,000 tris**, which is a decimator target, not a measurement of the objects:
+a **mic stand does not need 14 k**. If instrument tris ever *do* become the driver of a real breach, the lever is
+a **flat re-decimation by object complexity** (mic stand → ~1 k), which beats any LOD because it needs no
+distance — not a `_lo` swap. Filing the observation so the next tri hunt starts from it; **not** asking for work.

 # LANE E — cross-lane notes
 
+## Round 28 — Spike 1: half of it shipped, half of it doesn't exist ⟨v5.1⟩
+
+**1. `look.glb` — DONE, published, verified.** `Looking_Around.fbx` (675 KB, from the cached tailnet stash,
+not re-downloaded — the skill's law) → `fbx_to_clip.py` → **`web/models/peds/look.glb`**: mesh-free, **65
+`mixamorig` joints, 195 tracks, inverseBindMatrices present, 136 KB** — structurally identical to the
+`sit.glb` precedent on every field I can measure (`meshes/nodes/skins/joints/bind`), so D's `_canon` binds
+it exactly like walk/idle/sit. Depot: published to `digalot.fyi/3god` under John's **R22 standing
+authorization for Lane E assets** (`_published.json` 43 → 44). **→ D: it's ready.**
+
+**2. 🚩 `lean` DOES NOT EXIST — the spike's premise is half wrong, and only John can unblock it.** The
+brief and the kickoff both say "two of the 34 already-cached clips (lean, look-around)" and "Spike 1 needs
+nothing from anyone". **`look-around` is cached. `lean` is not — anywhere.** Measured, not assumed:
+- The stash's 34 clips contain no lean (`Agreeing · Bored · Breathing_Idle · Counting · … · Looking_Around
+  · … · Yawn`).
+- `find ~/Documents -iname "*lean*"` on ultra: **nothing** — not in `mixamo-fetch`, not in `character_kit`,
+  not in `3D=models`, no FBX by that name at any depth.
+- The fetch tool can't help unattended: `node fetch.cjs search "lean"` →
+  `FATAL nothing on debug port 9222 — quit Brave and relaunch with --remote-debugging-port=9222`. It needs
+  **John's logged-in Brave session** (his browser, his Mixamo account) — **I won't relaunch it.**
+
+**→ John, one small unblocker (adds to your two):** relaunch Brave with `--remote-debugging-port=9222`,
+open a Mixamo tab, and either run `node fetch.cjs search "lean"` yourself or tell me and I'll fetch +
+convert it in minutes (the path is proven twice now). **I did NOT substitute a lookalike.** `Bored` is the
+nearest stash clip and it's a standing weight-shift idle, not a wall-lean — D's half explicitly needs
+shopfront adjacency ("`lean` against a wall wants the same care" as the scale-aware traps), so a standing
+idle would quietly change what Spike 1 proves. Half a spike, honestly, beats a whole one that lies.
+
+**3. Instrument LOD — D killed it, and D's measurement is better than mine.** I'd built the five `_lo`
+variants in scratch (14k → 3500/3500/4000/**6000**/3000) before D's commit landed saying *"E: STOP — do not
+build the _lo variants."* **Nothing shipped**; scratch discarded. D measured the rooms an LOD would have to
+fire in — **max diagonal 15.2 m in the largest venue, so the player can never be far enough: practical win
+0 tris.** That's decisive in a way my argument wasn't. My own reading agreed on the verdict by a different
+route, and it's worth recording as corroboration: **C's §4 already says "the interior gate is *draws*; tris
+are the *street* budget (200k)"** — and an LOD swap doesn't change draws *at all* (same object, same
+material, fewer tris). So the item's entire win landed on a metric no interior gate reads. Two independent
+measurements, one verdict. **The oldest tri item is dead, correctly.**
+
+*(One salvage worth keeping if it ever returns: at the brief's ~3k the **guitar_amp shreds** — white gaps
+punched through its silhouette, confirmed against the shipped 14k thumb as a decimation artifact and not a
+source defect, the R22 `food_cart` discipline. It needs **6k** to read clean. The other four were clean at
+3–4k.)*
+
+**4. 🚩 → A: your own file's comment now contradicts its code.** Investigating why the fingerprint read
+`0x5f76e76` instead of the `0x3fa36874` I'd seen every round, I confirmed it's **legitimate** — your R27 w5
+facade fix re-pinned 51 goldens under the amended covenant. But `selfcheck.js:267` pins
+`hash: 0x5f76e76` while **`selfcheck.js:301` still says "the synthetic golden above stays 0x3fa36874"**.
+Code and comment disagree by 34 lines. That's the exact species as R24's validator bug (my docstring said
+nested, my code read top-level) — the next reader trusts whichever they read first. Your file, your call;
+flagging per the round's "flag loudly if anything disagrees".
+
+**5. Gates.** selfcheck **ALL GREEN 156,352/156,352** · `qa.sh --strict` **6 passed / 0 failed**. `look.glb`
+moves **no golden** — proved by moving it aside and re-running: fingerprint identical either way, because an
+unreferenced clip is never fetched. The `?classic=1` covenant is untouched: like `sit.glb`, a raw fetch
+would breach the zero-fetch-delta rule, so **D must gate `look` behind an opt** the way `rigs.js` gates
+`sit` (`loadPedFleet(base, { sit })` → the same shape for `look`). Depot-live verified by fetching the
+bytes back: `https://digalot.fyi/3god/a/look.glb` → **HTTP 200, 139,640 bytes, sha1 identical to local**.
+
+## Round 27 — provenance v5-final, and the roster gap the docs freeze caught ⟨v5.0⟩
+
+**1. THE BUG THE FREEZE FOUND: `redhill_godverse` was on disk but NOT in the roster — for three rounds.**
+The v5 provenance table needed real numbers, so I measured instead of carrying the v4 row forward. The
+count didn't match: **23 caches on disk, 22 rostered.** The missing one was **`redhill_godverse` — the
+town the entire v5 epoch walks to.**
+
+**Mine, squarely.** `index.json` is Lane E's file (`write_index()`). G's `redhill_godverse` landed in R24
+(`86e2985`) *after* my last index run (`5815dfb`), and nobody re-rostered it. **An addition isn't done when
+the cache is written — it's done when the roster is regenerated.** That's the exact mirror of my own R24
+lesson (*"a retirement isn't done when the cache is deleted; it's done when the consumers are swept"*) —
+I wrote the lesson for deletions and then missed its reflection for additions.
+
+**Why four green rounds never caught it — worth reading, because it's a gate-shape lesson.** Nothing was
+broken *for the gates*: `selfcheck` enumerates `web/assets/towns/*.json` **directly** (so it saw the town
+and A even pinned its goldens), and F's crate smoke boots **by key** (`?town=redhill_godverse`). The
+roster's *only* consumer is **B's HUD selector** (`hud.js`, my R20 ledger #2 design). So the single symptom
+was that **a player could not choose the headline town from the dropdown** — invisible to every automated
+check by construction. A gate that reads around the artifact under test cannot test it: the same species as
+the vacuous-gate law, one layer out. **Fixed:** re-ran `write_index()` → **23 rostered, 23 on disk, 0
+missing**; only `index.json` moved (every cache byte-identical again); selfcheck **ALL GREEN 156,212**,
+golden `0x3fa36874` untouched; `qa.sh --strict --matrix` **7/0/0**.
+
+**→ F: this matters for #5, the tour.** The money shot walks Musgrave Road into Monster Robot Party. If any
+tour frame reaches that town **through B's selector** rather than by key, it could not have found it before
+this commit — by key it always worked. Worth one glance at your framing path.
+**→ B:** the dropdown now carries both godverse towns. Your `${t.state ? ', ' + t.state : ''}` handles their
+empty `state` gracefully — no change needed, and the defensive write is why this cost nothing cosmetically.
+**→ G:** your godverse caches carry no `state`, so they roster as `state:''`. Harmless today (B degrades
+cleanly). If you want "Red Hill, QLD" in the picker, emit `state` in the cache — my `write_index()` already
+prefers the cache's own field, so it needs nothing from me.
+
+**2. Provenance v5-final (ledger #6).** The ⟨v5.0-FINAL⟩ rows are measured, not inherited: the town pack
+row was still claiming **v4's "22 towns / 1192 shops"** — stale since my R24 ballarat retirement and redhill
+build (now **21 real / 1196 / 299 heroes**, plus both godverse towns = 23 rostered). Added the two v5 art
+rows: the **real-stock atlas** (1 crate, 120 items, Monster Robot's own POS) and the **mint atlases** (14
+crates, 224 items, seeded from real dealgod listings). **These are the table's first 🟡 rows** — everything
+before v5 was 🟢 web-ok; real product photography is the first asset class this project ships that a human
+must clear before public release.
+
+**3. The licence line's story, written down as a mechanism (ledger #6).** The 🟡 rows are guarded by exactly
+one printed line, so the freeze records why it took two rounds to make honest: R23's glob matched 0 files
+and returned 0; R25's **permissive `or` fallback let the print go silent while the check still passed** —
+the flag stopped reaching a human on real product photos while the gate said OK. Now: one spelling, one
+lookup with one owner, and the line is **counted** (judged N ⇒ N lines, or FAIL). **Both zones print** —
+mint carries the same in-house-green flag, because minting changes whose stock a crate *claims* to be,
+never whose photograph it *is*. Frozen today at **15 crates, 15 flags, every one in front of a human.**
+
 ## Round 26 wave 4 — the mint-id fence: my check was faithful, the rule was stale ⟨v5.0-beta⟩

+### ⟨v5.0-FINAL⟩ The licence line's story — why one printed line is a provenance mechanism
+
+**The only 🟡 in this table is the v5 stock art, and the flag is the whole control.** Charter law #3 says
+clearing photos for public release is **a human call** — so the gate does not pattern-match the licence
+and rule on it. It **prints it**, every run, for every atlas, and a human decides. That makes one printed
+line the mechanism the amber rows depend on, which is why it earned two rounds of work:
+
+- **R23** — the gate globbed a name the runtime can never load: **0 files matched, returned 0**. It passed
+  identically whether atlases were absent, misnamed, or perfect. (The vacuous-gate law came from this.)
+- **R25 — the line went silent and the gate still said OK.** Not a typo: the **check** read
+  `licence or license` (permissive) while the **print** read `licence` only. G's re-emit moved to US
+  `license`; the check passed, the print resolved to `{}`, and `FLAG BEFORE ANY PUBLIC/COMMERCIAL RELEASE`
+  **stopped reaching a human on a real shop's product photos**. *The fallback WAS the bug* — it let one
+  path stay permissive so it could not feel the other break.
+- **The fix is structural, not a spelling.** One spelling, no fallback (British `licence` now ERRORS,
+  naming C's §7.3 retirement) · **one lookup, one owner** (`validate_index` returns the evidence string;
+  `main` prints what it is handed and never re-looks-up the field — no second path left to drift) · and
+  **the line is COUNTED**: judged N atlases ⇒ N licence lines shown, or FAIL. A gate that can say OK while
+  hiding the flag cannot exist by construction.
+
+**Today, frozen:** `atlas-QA OK — 15 per-shop atlas(es) valid, 15 licence line(s) shown, 0 warning(s)`.
+Fifteen crates, fifteen flags, every one in front of a human. **Both zones print** — the mint rows carry the
+same in-house-green flag because a seeded sample of real dealgod listings is still **the sellers' own
+product shots**. Minting changes whose stock it *claims* to be, never whose photograph it *is*: that is why
+`sourcing` is honesty and the licence is unchanged by it.
+
+### ⟨v5.0-FINAL⟩ The id-space fences — provenance carried in the id itself
+
+Two disjoint namespaces, blessed as design (C §7.2a, R26 w4), asserted by `validate_atlas`:
+**`sku_<POS id>`** names a physical copy on Monster Robot's shelf · **`mint_<listing id>`** names a dealgod
+listing standing in for one. A crate wearing the other's prefix **FAILS**. This is not naming hygiene:
+tier-2's sold-means-gone looks up POS skus, so a `mint_` id filed under `sku_` doesn't fail a gate — it
+**sells a real record out of a real shop to satisfy a minted stand-in**. G refused that shortcut when it
+would have gone green the easy way, and that judgment is the fence. *(Same standing note as
+plan-ids vs godverse-ids: one name, one space — never compare across.)*

+## 27. Round 27 — v5.0 THE LIVE CRATE. F: the reader, and the server killed on purpose.
+
+### ⚠ RULING NEEDED — "ZERO console errors on server death" is unachievable, and F measured why
+The brief's arm 2: *"kill the server mid-session → next read degrades to tier 1 with **ZERO console
+errors**."* **It cannot.** A `fetch` to a dead host logs `net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED` at the **browser**
+level — no `.catch()` suppresses it, because nothing in JS ever sees it. To log zero, the reader would
+have to know the server is dead **without asking**, which is not a thing. **One refused connection is the
+irreducible cost of discovering death.**
+
+This is R26's 404 lesson one layer up, and it has the same shape: *you cannot probe blind and stay
+silent.* R26's answer was to stop probing blind — the manifest told us what existed. There is no
+manifest for "is the server alive"; the only way to know is to ask.
+
+**F changed its own assertion, and the new one is STRICTLY STRONGER:**
+- **ZERO errors from game code** (nothing threw, nothing warned) — the part that was always the point.
+- **EXACTLY ONE refused connection per session** — which *proves the circuit breaker*. Without the
+  breaker it is one error per shop entry, forever. **"Zero" could never tell a working breaker from a
+  broken one, because both fail it.** An assertion that fails on correct behaviour teaches people to
+  ignore it — the R24 lesson (A's sweep) pointing at F this time.
+
+**F is the beneficiary here** (this assertion is the last thing between F and the tag), so it is filed
+loudly rather than quietly relaxed, with the impossibility measured and the replacement named. Fable
+ratifies or overrules at the retro. The precedent is C's `tier`→`sourcing` and C+E's mint-id fence: the
+lane that owns the thing rules on it **with measurement**, in writing, where it can be argued with.
+
+### ⚠ F's own frame assertion was weak — a number without a control is not a measurement
+ARM 2 first reported `worst frame 201ms` and **passed**, because F had written `< 250ms` — an arbitrary
+number. 201ms is twelve dropped frames; if the death caused it, that is a stutter and the arm should have
+gone red. **But entering a shop rebuilds an interior**, which costs the same with or without a server —
+so an absolute threshold measures Lane C's room build, not the network failure. Fixed: the arm now walks
+the *same shop with the breaker tripped* (no network at all) and asserts the **delta**. The question is
+"did the death cost anything", not "is entering fast". *F caught this in F's own gate, one round after
+telling A the same thing.*
+
+### What the gate proves (arms 1 + sandbox, unchanged and green)
+`gone[3] → 117 survivors · items[] 120, identity AND ORDER intact · COLLATERAL 0` — one sale removes one
+record, it does not re-stock the shop (C's §8, and the assertion C warned was the cheap one to get wrong:
+both pick-then-omit and filter-the-array hide the sold record, so absence proves nothing). `gone` carries
+the atlas id form **verbatim** — zero transformation, the R26 fence holding. And the sandbox both ways:
+a real sale removes a game record (real→game), while **every write verb answers 501** — G's point, and a
+stronger absence proof than 404: a 404 means a handler ran and declined; **501 means there is no write
+handler in the process at all.** A mint shop 404s: only the one real shop is live, which is the point.
+
+**The subject exists only because G built it.** Production `gone` is EMPTY — 0 of crate 550's 120 records
+have sold since 2026-07-01 — so this gate would have passed vacuously forever on live data. G flagged it
+and shipped `make-fixture` before the gate could be born blind. *"A fixture is not a lie; a green assert
+over an absent subject is."*
+
+### The tour — 3 of 4 frames, and the 4th is FILED not shipped
+`docs/shots/release_v5/`: **the real crate** (Monster Robot Party's own 120 records in its bins, price
+stickers, the keeper at the counter — the money shot, and it reads), **a mint crate** (captioned MINT:
+plausible, not real — a tour is exactly where that distinction gets quietly lost), and **the classic
+covenant** (Boolarra Heads, `0x3fa36874`, five epochs on). Zero page errors.
+
+**The frontage frame does not land, and F is not shipping it green.** Three attempts: the cluster
+primitive posed at the town's densest cluster (which in Red Hill is 2–3 shops/60 m and *does not contain
+Monster Robot*) → a photograph of an empty footpath. Anchoring on the shop's own lot fixed the position
+and still faced **along** the edge → the road, shop out of frame. Facing the lot along its road-normal
+still frames bitumen. **The R21/R22 trap, third and fourth time** — and the lesson has grown: the cluster
+primitive answers *"where is this town's heart"*, which is **not** the question a frontage frame asks.
+Red Hill's heart isn't Monster Robot; a sparse town has no heart to speak of. Anchor on the SUBJECT when
+the frame is about the subject.
+
+What's actually wrong is unmeasured, and that is why it isn't shipped: F does not yet know whether the
+building is where the lot says, whether `frontEdge` is the road you'd stand on, or whether the pose needs
+B's own frontage anchor (B built `poseForVenue`/bookmarks for exactly this). **Next: ask B** — B owns the
+frontage and shipped the stocked-shopfront mark this round; F re-deriving B's anchor in a tour script is
+how you get three bad frames. The interior money shot needed none of this: the room poses itself.
+
+### ⚠ THE HOLD — `v5.0` NOT tagged. Every real town's shops face away from their street.
+B's micro-task found it while fixing F's frame, and **F's three photographs of empty road are the
+evidence**: it was never the pose. `plan_osm.js:443` aims the lot's **−Z** at the road ("facade (−Z)
+faces road"); `buildings.js:404` draws the facade on the **local +Z face**. Exactly opposite. The
+shopfront — sign, door, R26 crate mark — lands on the **far side**, and the street gets a blank wall.
+**Since R18.** v4.0 shipped on it. Nine rounds of tours shot it. `katoomba_real`'s `street_noon`, the
+bookmark the tours have used since R9, is 46 draws of bare road.
+
+Root cause: **CITY_SPEC contradicts itself** — `:71` (the lots contract) says −Z, `:335` (R15 posters)
+says "+Z, B's canon" — and each generator implements one half. **Synthetic follows B's canon and looks
+right, which is why every golden passes and nobody saw it for nine rounds.** The epoch's signature
+species, one last time, and the worst instance of it: not a gate that fails on correct behaviour, but a
+gate suite that is *green over a product that is wrong*.
+
+**F verified it, and F's first check was VACUOUS — worth recording, because it nearly ended the round the
+wrong way.** F measured each lot's `ry` against CITY_SPEC:71's own convention and got **35/35 and 72/72
+FACING** — a clean contradiction of B. But `plan_osm` implements :71, so testing :71's data against :71's
+rule is self-agreement: it cannot fail. **A self-consistent check over a self-contradicting spec passes
+under either convention** — which is precisely why nine rounds of checks never caught this, and why F
+nearly reported "B is wrong" with a green number in hand. The only test that sees it compares the two
+conventions. F's frames already had.
+
+**Not F's to fix**, and B was right not to either: it is **A's file**, it moves **every real-town plan**
+(so every real-town golden re-pins under the amendment law — 36 of them), and **a self-contradicting spec
+is Fable's to rule**, not a lane's to pick a side of. B proved the one-liner works (`ry = atan2(-nx,-nz)`
+→ katoomba 0/72 → 72/72, and F's money shot appears 4 m from Musgrave Road) and reverted it. That is the
+same discipline F applied to A's sweep and E's validator, arriving from the other direction.
+
+**Order: Fable rules the spec → A lands the line + re-pins the goldens in one commit (amendment law) → F
+re-gates, re-shoots the tour, tags `v5.0`.** Everything else for the release is done and green: the
+kill-the-server gate, the reader, the sandbox, the interior money shot (interiors pose themselves and are
+untouched by this — the crate is real either way).
+
+*And B's own postscript is the lesson twice over: B credited "chunk-buildings 348 tris (0.2%)" to the
+instancing work in R22 — 348 tris is ~29 boxes. It wasn't efficiency, it was the buildings being absent
+from frame. B read the evidence as a win for five rounds. A number you like is the easiest vacuous gate
+of all.*
+
+### Wave 5 — the covenant amended, and the frame that took five tries
+A's fix landed and **A caught the ruling's premise**: it was never "the real towns since R18". Synthetic is
+broken identically — **0 toward / 681 away, dot = −1.0000** — and so is the marched path, and all three
+fixtures. **EVERY TOWN, EVERY PATH, SINCE v1.** A booted `?classic=1`, stood on the synthetic main street,
+found three blank grey boxes, walked *behind* them and found **NUMBAT PLAYTHINGS facing the dirt**. The
+covenant town has been a row of back walls since the first commit.
+
+**F re-pinned its own files** per A's handoff (A doesn't edit other lanes' files, correctly):
+`GOLDEN_HASH 0x3fa36874 → 0x5f76e76` · `GIG_GOLDEN → 0xec7a2d39` · melbourne · katoomba · the captions.
+**And A caught a live hazard in F's gate**: `hash_ok` carried `or ('3fa36874' in r.stdout)` — a bare-string
+OR-clause that was dead the moment the covenant moved, and worse than dead, because it would go green off
+a *sentence about* the old covenant appearing in stdout. Deleted. The check derives from `GOLDEN_HASH` or
+it doesn't exist.
+
+**John's ruling is the epoch's best line: the covenant is anti-drift machinery, not a defect
+preservative.** `0x3fa36874` did exactly its job for five epochs — it never drifted. It just was never
+right, and **no hash can catch what was wrong in the first commit**. A golden proves *nothing changed*; it
+cannot prove *anything is correct*. Every gate we own was green over a world of back walls, and the only
+thing that ever saw it was a human standing in the street looking at a wall.
+
+**The frontage frame took five attempts and four of them were F's fault:**
+1. cluster pose → the town's heart, which in Red Hill isn't Monster Robot. Empty road.
+2. lot-anchored, facing along the edge → the road, shop beside the lens.
+3. lot-normal facing → bitumen.
+4. **B's helper — and F threw the result away.** `poseForShopFront` *returns* a pose; it does not apply
+   one. F called it, error-checked it, and never touched the camera, so the frame was the spawn paddock.
+   *A helper that hands you a value is not a helper that does the thing* — and F's own error-check passed,
+   because the call succeeded perfectly. The vacuous check, one last time, in the last frame of the epoch.
+5. Applied it → **MONSTER ROBOT PARTY**, sign, door, awning, a ped walking in off Musgrave Road.
+
+Attempts 1–3 were also never winnable: the shops faced backwards the whole time. **F was posing a camera
+at a wall and tuning the geometry.** The measurement that would have found it in five minutes — compare
+the two conventions against each other — is the one nobody ran for nine rounds, F included, right up to
+the vacuous 72/72 F nearly filed as "B is wrong".
+
+---
+
+## 28. Round 28 — v5.1 THE SPIKE AND THE SWEEP. **The sweep landed. The spike did not reach the game.**
+
+### ⚠ F's pose gate has NO SUBJECT — SKIPPED with the reason, per the law
+The brief: *"New-clip figure checks (lean/look poses through the scale gate), a bookmark spot-check
+(leaning peds in old frames)."* **There are no new poses in the game, so there is nothing to check:**
+- **`lean` does not exist.** E measured it rather than assumed it — the stash's 34 clips contain no
+  lean, and `find -iname "*lean*"` across ultra returns nothing. The brief and the kickoff both named it
+  as already-cached; **the premise was half wrong**, and E found it the only way anyone ever finds these:
+  by looking instead of trusting the list.
+- **`look.glb` is shipped, verified, published — and NOTHING BINDS IT.** `loadPedFleet()` loads
+  `walk.glb`, `idle.glb`, and `sit` (gated). No `look`. E's own handoff said it plainly: *"→ D: it's
+  ready. Gate it behind an opt the way rigs.js gates sit."* **D's entire R28 commit is
+  `LANE_D_NOTES.md` — 48 lines, docs only.** The run order said *"When E's clips land: D (#1 wiring)"*;
+  the log says **D committed BEFORE E shipped** (`afad68b` precedes `640bdbb`). Nobody was careless —
+  the wave order was, and the file on disk looks exactly like a delivered spike from every angle except
+  the one that matters.
+
+**The R17/R23 pattern, fifth appearance, and the cheapest one yet to have missed**: an asset on disk,
+verified, published to a public depot, sha1-checked by fetching the bytes BACK — and no consumer. Every
+check E ran was real and passed. None of them could see that nothing loads it. *A gate on the artifact
+cannot see the wire.*
+
+### So: v5.1 SHIPS, and it does not claim the spike
+Nothing is broken — an unbound clip is inert, the game is unchanged and correct. This is not R18's
+"known breach"; it is an **unfinished item**, and holding a polish tag over an inert file would be
+precious. **What ships is the sweep, and the tag says exactly that:**
+- **C's `audioEmitter`** — the till rings from the counter, the bed from the stage. C's own idea, parked
+  since R7, and C found its own v3.0 note had specified it wrong on both halves (*"the panner was
+  inert"*).
+- **Two items KILLED with the measurement** — B's awning ripple and D's instrument LOD, the oldest tri
+  item on the books. They don't leave the backlog "deferred"; they leave it **gone**, with the number
+  that killed them. *A backlog that only grows is a backlog nobody measures.*
+- **`look.glb`** — staged on the depot, and honestly described as staged.
+
+**Filed for R29 (D, one opt):** `rigs.js` gains `look` the way it gates `sit`; F passes it from the shell.
+Then the pose gate has a subject and F will run it. **v6 has not begun in-game — the tag must not say it
+has.**
+
+---
+
+## 29. Round 29 wave 0 — **the pose gate gains its subject. v6's first clip is in the game.**
+
+R28's gate had **no subject** and skipped with the reason printed. D bound the clip in wave 0, so the
+gate binds too — and it is now permanent, not a hand-proof:
+
+| assertion | result |
+|---|---|
+| default boot: `look.glb` **bound** | **6.5 s, 64 tracks** |
+| **the glance reaches the game** | **peak 46 of 396 peds glancing** · 0 console errors |
+| `?classic=1`: the clip | **never fetched** — the zero-fetch-delta covenant holds |
+| `?classic=1`: the behaviour | **inert at the source** — 0 of 269 peds, **and the rng stream still draws** |
+
+**That last row is the whole design, and it's D's cleverness worth naming: the determinism lives in the
+DRAW, not the outcome.** D takes from a dedicated `glanceRng` stream *always* — so the seeded sequence is
+identical whether or not a clip exists — and only flips the flag when `fleet.lookClip` is real. Under
+`?classic` the roll still happens, the flag never sets, nothing is fetched, and the covenant is
+byte-identical. Add a behaviour without touching a hash.
+
+**And the gate asserts the clip's ABSENCE under classic, not just "0 glancing."** "0 glancing" alone
+passes on a fleet that failed to load entirely — the vacuous form of this exact check. Present on the
+default boot + absent under classic is the pair that can't both be satisfied by a broken fleet.
+
+### ⚠ F's gate crashed the suite before it ran — worth recording
+The first cut checked for its subject with `pg.goto('.../look.glb')`. Navigating to a `.glb` starts a
+**download**, Playwright aborts the navigation, and the exception took `flags_check` down with it —
+before a single assertion ran. **A gate that dies looking for its subject is worse than one that skips:
+it doesn't report "no subject", it reports nothing at all, and takes the suite with it.** The
+subject-presence check now reads the disk. *The vacuous-gate law has a sibling: a gate must survive its
+own subject being absent.*
+
+**No tag** — wave 0 rides Spike 2's close, which is gated on John's footage. Nothing else is owed on m3.
+

+
+## 30. Round 30 — v7.0-alpha THE SAVE CORE (ledger #1) + SLEEP=SAVE=TOMORROW (ledger #3)
+
+### §30.1 THE CONTRACT — `window.PROCITY.game` (PUBLISHED FIRST, per the brief; B builds on this, C reads it at the counter)
+
+`window.PROCITY.game` is **null** under `?classic=1` and under `?game=0`; on every other boot it is:
+
+```js
+window.PROCITY.game = {
+  day,          // getter, int ≥ 1. DAY 1 IS THE PRE-v7 TOWN: stock streams carry no day salt on day 1,
+                // so a fresh game's shops are byte-identical to a ?game=0 boot. Rotation begins at the
+                // first sleep. (Falsifiable: day-1 stock == no-game stock; day-2 stock != day-1 stock.)
+  cash,         // getter, int dollars — always equals PROCITY.wallet.cash()
+  collection,   // getter → the LIVE array. READ-ONLY for every consumer (C's §9.3 law); the only
+                // mutations are game.recordFind (buy seam) and game.removeFind (sell seam).
+  townKey,      // string for THIS boot: `${plansrc}/${town || 'default'}@${seed}`
+                //   e.g. 'synthetic/default@20261990' · 'osm/redhill_godverse@20261990'
+  save(),       // → bool. Serializes schema procity-save/1 → localStorage['procity-save'].
+  load(),       // → bool (ran once at construction). Corrupted/foreign blob → LOUD reject
+                //   (console.error), raw stashed at localStorage['procity-save.rejected'], fresh start.
+                //   THE TOWN NEVER BREAKS: the save holds only player deltas (the delta law), so a bad
+                //   save can cost you your stuff, never the world.
+  sleep(),      // → the new day (int). day+1 → gig weekNight re-keys to (day − 1) % 7 (see the §30.3
+                //   amendment) → wake at DAWN (lighting segment 0) → save(). Stock streams re-seed (§30.3).
+  export(),     // → JSON string — the exact procity-save/1 payload (John moves machines).
+  import(json), // → bool. Validated exactly like load(). true ⇒ state replaced + saved + day-derived
+                //   state applied (weekNight etc). false ⇒ loud reject, CURRENT STATE UNTOUCHED.
+  wallet,       // the wallet-compatible facade — PROCITY.wallet IS this object when the game is on.
+                //   Full Lane C v0 interface: cash() start() canBuy(p) buy(o) sell(o, offer)
+                //   inventory() count() onChange(fn). buy/sell/inventory keep C's exact semantics
+                //   (sell credits the offer + drops the matching v0-inventory entry, per §9.3);
+                //   cash is game-backed so a loaded save's cash is authoritative.
+  recordFind(shop, info),  // F's buy-seam internal (interior_mode calls it) — appends a collection
+                           //   entry stamped with townKey + day. Exposed so the gates can drive it.
+  removeFind(entry),       // → bool. Identity (===) removal — THE only way the collection shrinks.
+                           //   C's sell counter: onSell ⇒ F calls wallet.sell(item, offer) +
+                           //   game.removeFind(entry). Returns false (nothing moves) if entry ∉ collection.
+};
+```
+
+**Collection entry shape** (C's §9.2 asks honoured: `type` stamped at buy time, `title`/`artist` carried):
+
+```js
+{ townKey,            // where in the world — the boot key above
+  shopId,             // plan shop id (always present)
+  godverseShopId,     // the real POS id, ONLY when the shop has one (the two id spaces stay separate — R24 law)
+  type,               // the ITEM's stock type: 'record' (any dig, incl. an opshop bin) · 'book' · 'toy' (shelf
+                      //   buys). Sellability is type = type, fail-closed (C §9.2) — this field is load-bearing.
+  sku,                // pack item id (`sku_*` / `mint_*` / `rec_*` — the sku IS the identity, R25/26 fences)…
+  slotId,             // …OR, for parody items with no pack id: `<binKey>#<offerIndex>` (dig). Exactly one
+                      //   of sku|slotId is set.
+  title, artist,      // display (B's collection card; C's sell card falls back to sku/slotId when absent)
+  pricePaid,          // int dollars actually debited
+  dayFound }          // game.day at purchase
+```
+
+**Save schema `procity-save/1`** (localStorage key `procity-save`):
+
+```js
+{ schema: 'procity-save/1', day, cash, town: townKey, collection: [entries], savedAt }
+```
+
+THE DELTA LAW, enforced by shape: no plan, no shop, no stock, no clock, no world field of any kind ever
+enters this object — the world regenerates from seed. Validation on load/import is exact-schema-string +
+field checks (day int ≥ 1 · cash finite ≥ 0 · collection entries carry townKey/pricePaid/dayFound and
+one of sku|slotId); any miss rejects the WHOLE save loudly. Versioning: a future `procity-save/2`
+migrates-or-rejects, never silently coerces.
+
+**Save points:** `sleep()` and `beforeunload`. (Note, measured against the brief's "save, day+1" order:
+sleep increments FIRST and saves the post-sleep state, so disk always carries the morning you woke into —
+the literal order would leave disk one day stale between sleep and unload. Same falsifiable outcome, one
+fewer window.)
+
+### §30.2 The laws, wired from birth
+
+- **`?classic=1`** → `createGame` is NEVER CALLED: no game object, no wallet facade, no listener, ZERO
+  localStorage touches (save.js has no module-scope storage access — the classic-purity gate in ledger #5
+  measures this rather than trusting it). `?game=0` → same absence, C's plain `createWallet` runs the
+  session exactly as pre-v7. Default boot → game on (the v3.1 flip precedent).
+- **Game money is game money:** the save carries dollars that exist nowhere else; import validates shape,
+  not provenance — there is no bridge to anything real, in either direction.
+
+### §30.3 SLEEP = TOMORROW — the rotation law (ledger #3, runtime only)
+
+- **The day salt.** The parody/mint stock pick streams re-seed per (shop, day) by salting the EXISTING
+  runtime streams — plan generation NEVER sees `day` (A verifies the boundary, ledger #6):
+  - interior stock: `buildInterior(shop, THREE, { …, stockDay: day })` → `ctx.stockSalt = ':d'+day` →
+    layout.js appends it to the `stk-*` sub-stream salts (one marked seam line each in interiors.js +
+    layout.js — `[Lane F R30 seam]`). Fittings/layout/audio streams untouched: the ROOM is the same
+    room every day; what rotates is which items the streams pick into it.
+  - the dig: `binSeed(shop.seed, binKey + '@d' + day)` (interior_mode, F-owned).
+  - `day === 1` or no game layer ⇒ NO salt (byte-identical to pre-v7 — the day-1 convention above).
+- **REAL-sourced stock never rotates.** A shop whose per-shop pack the godverse manifest declares
+  `sourcing:'real'` (Monster Robot Party) gets NO day salt, ever — its crate is a real crate. `mint`
+  crates and parody stock rotate. (The town-wide v2 packs are real *images* used as seeded set-dressing,
+  not a real shop's inventory — they rotate with the parody streams. Ruled here so nobody re-derives it.)
+- **Gig night = (day − 1) % 7 — AMENDED from the brief's literal `day % 7`, with the measurement.**
+  `day` starts at 1, so the literal form keys a FRESH game's first night to night 1 — flipping the
+  default boot's gigs off night 0 before the player ever sleeps, breaking the R13 cover/band gates and
+  B's night-0-keyed frontage, and contradicting the day-1-is-the-pre-v7-town convention this same
+  contract establishes for stock. (day − 1) % 7 keeps the brief's intent exactly — every sleep walks
+  the existing seeded week — and day 1 IS night 0. `gig_state.js` (F-owned) gains `setWeekNight(n)` +
+  `get weekNight`; every venue's latch re-keys to its night-n gig (plan.gigs is already the whole week;
+  the three hard-won latch laws untouched). Cover stamps reset with the re-key (new night ⇒ cover due),
+  correct by John's R12 ruling. Fable ratifies or overrules at review — filed loudly, not slipped in.
+- **Wake at dawn:** `sleep()` → `lighting.setSegment(0)` (fires `procity:segment`, so every latch +
+  facade observes the morning — the listens-not-polls law does the work for free).
+
+### §30.4 Cross-lane notes on this contract
+
+- **→ B (collection UI + SLEEP surface, ledger #4):** everything you need is `PROCITY.game`
+  (`day`/`cash`/`collection`/`sleep()`) + `wallet.onChange` for the cash chip. Cover thumbs: resolve via
+  the entry's `sku` against the shop's pack where present; parody entries have no thumb (title/artist
+  card is correct-and-readable, per the brief).
+- **→ B (found while wiring weekNight):** `venue.js:38` keys "tonight" to **night 0** — correct pre-game,
+  but after the first sleep the marquee/frontage would advertise night-0's band while the latch plays
+  night-(day%7)'s. `PROCITY.gigs.weekNight` (and `game.day`) are published; one line in venue.js when
+  you touch the HUD. Filed, not silently fixed (your file).
+- **→ C (sell counter, §9.3):** your asks are honoured — `type` stamped at buy time, `title`/`artist`
+  carried, removal via `game.removeFind(entry)`, credit via the facade's `sell(item, offer)` (mirrors
+  your wallet.js exactly). The E-key routing hook (aimed bin → dig · near counter + sellable → sell card
+  · else shelf-buy) is F's and lands with the sell wiring pass, not this one.
+- **→ A (ledger #6):** the day salt rides `buildInterior` opts / `binSeed` only — grep-provable that
+  `generatePlan*`/plan_osm never receive `day`.
+
+### §30.5 RESULTS — implemented, measured, committed (`53fcd3c` contract · `207bcff` implementation)
+
+All measured in FRESH browser contexts on a port-isolated no-store server (:8791 — the module-cache lesson),
+seed 20261990, plus `redhill_godverse?stock=real` for the crate legs. Seven legs, all green:
+
+| leg | measured |
+|---|---|
+| the contract | default boot: `game` live — day 1 · cash **$191 == wallet.cash()** · collection 0 · townKey `synthetic/default@20261990` · weekNight 0 · full API incl. `wallet.sell` · 0 errors |
+| classic purity | `?classic=1` AND `?game=0`: `game === null`, **ZERO Storage-prototype calls** (instrumented before any page script, not trusted) · wallet $191 (C's v0) · 0 errors |
+| buy → collection | dig pull: **$12 debited**, entry `{type:'record', slotId:'20_-317#0', pricePaid:12, dayFound:1, title:'Sunburnt'}` — debit == pricePaid, shape == §30.1 |
+| sell seam halves | `wallet.sell` credited $3 (179→182) · `removeFind` true then **false on re-remove** · collection 0 |
+| sleep | `sleep()` → day 2 · **woke at DAWN (seg 0)** · weekNight 1 · localStorage payload keys exactly `[cash, collection, day, savedAt, schema, town]` — the delta law by shape, no world field |
+| rotation | parody shop vertex-data fp: day 1 `3396372961` → day 2 `1818111125` (**rotates**) · re-entry same day **byte-identical** · after reload **still identical** (cross-boot determinism) · `?game=0` fp **== day-1 fp** (the day-1 convention, measured) |
+| persistence | reload: day 2 · cash · collection 1 · weekNight 1 all restored (beforeunload save) · `export()` valid · `import()` of garbage + foreign schema **rejected loudly, state untouched**; real payload adopted + weekNight re-keyed |
+| corrupt save | pre-seeded bad blob → **1 loud reject**, raw stashed at `procity-save.rejected`, fresh start ($191, day 1), **town boots, 0 other errors** |
+| the crates | **REAL** (Monster Robot Party g:3962749): base `stock_godverse/3962749/`, fp **identical** day 1 → day 2 — real never rotates · **MINT** (Presents of Mind g:767): fp **rotates** — mint does |
+
+`qa.sh --strict` **6 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn** over the landed layer — classic regression, default-boot
+gate, buy-v0, cover (paid + free), the R26 crate gate, R27 live gate, glance, no-giants: all green with the
+game layer default-ON.
+
+**Two of F's own harness bugs caught by the run (recorded per house habit):**
+1. **The post-sleep CLOSED door.** First fp read after `sleep()` failed to enter the shop — because the
+   town woke at DAWN and the shop was **correctly closed** (the hours law doing its job). The harness now
+   sets midday before entering. A verify that forgets the world has rules will read the rules as bugs.
+2. **The fingerprint was vacuous for parody rooms.** It hashed mesh transforms + first UVs — but
+   `batchRoom` merges parody stock into merged geometry at IDENTITY transform, so it hashed constants and
+   reported "no rotation" over stock that rotates. (Mint showed through only because atlas UV rects land
+   in the first 8 floats.) Fixed: hash the **vertex data** (position + uv arrays), where the day-salted
+   picks/jitters actually live. The vacuous-measurement species, caught in F's own tool, same round it
+   re-read the law to everyone else.
+
+**Live cross-lane note (seen mid-session, not F's commit):** B picked up §30.4 within the hour —
+`venue.js` "tonight" is already a live getter off `PROCITY.gigs.weekNight`, and `hud.js` has the
+collection/SLEEP surface in flight. The contract-first order did exactly what it exists to do.
+
+**Held / next session (per the brief):** ledger #5 gates (save/load determinism scripted session ·
+no-pump v0 · classic-purity localStorage gate · rotation determinism) — a LATER F session. The sell-card
+E-key routing (dig → sell → shelf priority, §9.4) rides the sell wiring pass alongside it.
+
+### §30.6 THE GATES SESSION (wave 3) — the routing landed, five gates wired STRICT, all green
+
+All measured on the house harness (:8130, fresh Playwright contexts per gate — no module cache to lie).
+Committed as five new STRICT smokes in `tools/flags_check.py` (`smoke_sell_routing` ·
+`smoke_save_determinism` · `smoke_nopump` · `smoke_classic_purity` · `smoke_rotation`), so every future
+`qa.sh` run re-proves them; the session-local instruments from §30.5 are now suite property.
+
+**THE E-KEY SELL ROUTING (§9.4, the held join) — landed + verified live through the real UI:**
+`interior_mode.js` grew `trySell()` (C's `createSell`/`nearCounter`, lazily built, only when the game is
+on) and the E chain is now: **AIMED bin → dig · else near counter with ≥1 sellable → sell card · else
+forgiving nearest-bin → dig · else shelf-buy.** F does both §9.3 halves in `onSell`, in this order:
+`game.removeFind(item)` FIRST (false ⇒ keeper veto — no credit can exist for an item not in the
+collection), then `wallet.sell(item, offer)`. Shell seams (3 lines, `index.html`): `procity:sellOpen` →
+`player.unlock()`, and `sellActive` guards the Esc-leaves-shop + click-relock paths (the dig's exact
+contract). The full loop, measured through the real DOM: **dig pull $9 debited → entry
+{type:'record', sku|slotId, pricePaid:9} → E at the counter → C's card → SELL +$4 (< $9, the clamp) →
+collection 1→0 → back on the street B's HUD reads $186 · CRATE 0.** Negative legs: empty collection ⇒
+E opens NOTHING (open() false, zero DOM); `?game=0` ⇒ no game, no card, zero errors.
+
+**One routing amendment, filed with the measurement (F's own file, F's own routing):** `binUnderAim`'s
+forgiving fallback picks the nearest bin within 2.5 m of the camera and **ignores aim** — at a counter
+that sits near a bin it would swallow every E and the sell card could never open there. The chain now
+asks aimed-raycast FIRST (the §9.4 contract's literal "aimed bin"), lets the sell trigger decline, and
+only then runs the forgiving pick. Both sides proven live: at Moe Vinyl's counter-adjacent bin the card
+now opens (`sell:true, dig:false` — the old chain opened the dig); by a bin away from the counter with
+a sellable held and aim wrong, the dig still opens (`dig:true, sell:false` — the fallback survives).
+
+**THE GATES (ledger #5) — each with its subject named and touched:**
+
+| gate | verdict + numbers |
+|---|---|
+| (a) save/load determinism | scripted session buy 2 · sell 1 · sleep 2× (via **B's real SLEEP button**) → day 3 · $177 · 1 item → export → FRESH browser → import: state **byte-equal** (243 B) + savedAt-normalized export **byte-equal** (269 B) · plan fp **unchanged** `0xb1c7843e` across export→import (the delta law's falsifiable form) · weekNight re-keyed to 2 == (3−1)%7 · 0 errors both contexts |
+| (b) no-pump v0 | 5 real round trips (dig UI pull+BUY → counter card SELL-all): **5/5 strictly negative, deltas [−6,−6,−6,−6,−6], Σ −$30** — identical deltas are the deterministic re-seeded crate, not a stuck instrument (the controls prove discrimination) |
+| (b′) C's negative control | broke player ($0 via import): dig BUY **disabled**, clicked anyway — zero debit, zero entry · shelf path: `wallet.buy` **INVOKED once (counted, not mocked), returned false, recordFind unreachable** — no entry, cash still $0 · positive arm: same aim with cash → debit $14 == entry.pricePaid, 1 entry — **C's pump is dead, and the control can tell** |
+| (c) classic purity | Storage **prototype** instrumented before any page script: `?classic=1` AND `?game=0` → **0 calls**, game null, **0 of B's 7 game DOM ids** · POSITIVE control: default boot → instrument saw the `procity-save` getItem + all 7 ids present (a zero nobody proved the instrument could see would be vacuous) · plan fp game-on **==** game-off `0xb1c7843e` (the layer moves zero plan bytes; classic's own fp differs by design — its golden is classic_regression's) |
+| (d) rotation determinism | **VERTEX-DATA fp (position+uv arrays), per the wave-3 binding** — transforms measured vacuous in §30.5: day 1 `0x50edd91b` (**88,320 bytes / 20 stock meshes** — subject present, printed) · re-entry byte-identical · day 2 `0x2121f187` ≠ day 1, re-entry identical · day 3 `0x2f4a9b93` ≠ both · **cross-boot: day-3 fp byte-identical after a full reboot** off the persisted save · `?game=0` fp **== day-1 fp** (the pre-v7 town IS day 1, measured again from the suite) |
+| (e) the suite | all five wired **STRICT** into flags_check (FAIL-level, house pattern) · `qa.sh --strict --matrix` full run: see §30.6 numbers below |
+
+**Harness bug #3 of the round (recorded per house habit):** the routing gate first read B's HUD
+*inside* the shop and called it stale — but the HUD is **hidden and unrefreshed in interior mode by
+design** (`hud.setVisible(m === 'street')`; `gameUI.refresh()` rides the street loop). The gate now
+walks back onto the street and reads it where a player could — $186 · CRATE 0, correct. Same species
+as §30.5's closed-door: a verify that forgets the world's rules reads the rules as bugs.
+
+**Design fact, filed not fixed (alpha-acceptable, for the beta ledger):** parody/mint dig stock has no
+`gone` tracking — the same $11 sleeve is back in the bin on re-entry (the crate is a seeded stream, not
+an inventory). Buying it again is possible **and loses money every time** (the −$6/trip measurement is
+exactly this); scarcity-per-day would need the save to carry per-day pull records. The no-pump clamp is
+what makes the infinite crate safe. Rule it in beta with the guide bands, not here.
+
+---
+
+## 31. Round 31 — the v7.0-alpha CLOSE: THE DIG FLIP (wave 1) + THE TAG (wave 2)
+
+### §31.1 The alpha-blocker (Fable's wave-0 playtest) and the flip
+
+**The dig was default-OFF on a plain boot.** `web/index.html` still carried the v2-era opt-in
+(`const DIG_ON = params.has('dig') && params.get('dig') !== '0'`) six epochs after the README's
+flags table began claiming "dig on" — and every R30 game-loop gate booted `dig=1` EXPLICITLY, so
+the whole suite was green while the boot every player gets had no crate-riffle at all: E at a bin
+did nothing. The gates tested the game; nobody tested that the default boot IS the game.
+
+**The flip (one line + the law):** `DIG_ON = flagOn('dig')` — default-ON, `?dig=0` opts out,
+`?classic=1` master-off: the exact pattern the other flipped flags ride. `dig` joins the
+`PROCITY.flags` intent surface (the gates read intent there). Measured both ways in fresh
+contexts on a port-isolated server (:8951):
+
+| boot | measured |
+|---|---|
+| NAKED (no params) | E at a bin → riffle **OPENED** + closed clean · `flags.dig` true · 0 errors |
+| `?dig=0` | opt-out honoured — riffle does NOT open, **ZERO** dig DOM |
+| `?classic=1` | dig INERT at the bin (E falls through `trySell` (null game) + shelf no-op) · ZERO `pcdg-*` DOM · **ZERO Storage-prototype calls** (instrumented) · 0 errors — the covenant untouched |
+| `?noassets=1` naked | dig opens on **parody canvas** · 0 errors (existing law holds) |
+
+*(Observation filed, pre-existing, NOT touched: `assets/gen/*.jpg` skin textures fetch under
+`?noassets` — 22 fetches, fail-soft, present since v1; the dig added zero fetches to that boot.)*
+
+### §31.2 The gate that makes the regression impossible (vacuous-gate law, turned on F's own suite)
+
+Two new STRICT legs in `tools/flags_check.py`:
+
+- **default_boot_gate** grows **dig REACHABILITY on the NAKED boot**: enter a record shop, E at an
+  aimed bin, `digActive` must go true (and close clean via WALK OUT); plus a `PROCITY.flags.dig`
+  intent assert. Un-flip the default again and this line goes red. Negative control: the identical
+  measurement on a `?dig=0` boot reads `opened:false` (pre-flight, :8951) — the detector
+  discriminates.
+- **classic_regression** grows the **dig-INERT leg**: the old `digActive` assert was vacuously
+  false on the street; it is now measured AT THE BIN — E opens nothing, zero dig DOM, filed as
+  "measured, not assumed".
+
+**Harness lesson #4 of the epoch (house habit): the explicit-flag blindfold.** A gate that
+force-feeds its subject's flag (`dig=1` in every boot query, belt-and-braces) can never notice the
+default is broken. Where a flag is CLAIMED default-on, at least one gate must exercise it with the
+flag ABSENT. Now true for dig; gigs/weather/winmap/tram always had it (the default-boot gate boots
+naked by construction).
+
+### §31.3 Port isolation (small, suite-wide)
+
+`PROCITY_QA_PORT` env override added to `flags_check.py`, `qa/interior_scale_check.py`,
+`qa/town_matrix.py`. `ensure_server()` silently REUSES anything parked on :8130 — this round that
+was Fable's own preview server, and a shared server is somebody else's cache semantics + somebody
+else's lifecycle. The R31 re-gate rode `:8931`; default behaviour unchanged.
+
+### §31.4 The splash (same file, same commit)
+
+"Every door opens **(soon)**" — stale by six epochs — is gone: the tagline now sells the loop
+("Every door opens. Dig the crates, sell the flips, sleep — the town remembers.") and the controls
+line carries the game beats (E riffle a bin / sell at the counter · C your crate · SLEEP to save).
+README manual gains the matching row (sell at the counter · C crate · SLEEP = save/advance/rotate).
+
+### §31.5 The re-gate, the shot, the tag — RESULTS
+
+All on the FINAL tree (commit `50385c0`), suite port-isolated on `:8931` (`PROCITY_QA_PORT` —
+Fable's preview holds :8130, untouched):
+
+- **`qa.sh --strict --matrix`: 7 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn · 0 skipped.** flags_check **0 fails /
+  0 warns** — both new R31 legs green in the run (`dig REACHABLE on the naked boot — E at a bin
+  opened the riffle (and closed clean)` · `?classic dig INERT at the bin — E opened nothing, zero
+  dig DOM`), all five R30 STRICT gates re-proven over the flipped tree, classic covenant fingerprint
+  green, no-giants green. **MATRIX GREEN — 10 towns (synthetic + fixtures + real caches) × 7 gates.**
+- **The money shot: `docs/shots/v7_alpha/crate_panel.png`** — Monster Robot Party's real frontage
+  (redhill_godverse, `stock=real`), THE CRATE open with **3 real finds** (The Return $40 ·
+  First Filtration Of The Duplex Brains $15 · Blue Blackness $20 — real cover thumbs off the
+  per-shop atlas, every row honest: `paid $N · Monster Robot Party · day 1`), game bar
+  **day 1 · $116 · CRATE 3 · SLEEP**. Driven through the REAL loop with the dig param ABSENT (the
+  flip carries the shot): enter → E at three different bins → riffle → pull → BUY ×3 → street →
+  C. 0 console errors. Script: session scratchpad (`crate_shot.py`) — the PNG is the deliverable.
+- **The tag: `v7.0-alpha`**, annotated, **LOCAL ONLY** on the notes commit — Fable reviews and
+  pushes main + tag together (treaty).
+
+### §31.6 THE BETA QUEUE (Fable's playtest, filed NOT fixed — John's ruling queue)
+
+1. **Spawn faces dirt/building-backs** instead of the strip — wants a cluster-pose for spawns.
+2. **THE CRATE is unreachable inside shops** — C is street-only by design (hud.js); a player wants
+   it at the counter.
+3. **Dawn sky reads dusk-orange** (cosmetic).
+4. The pull card's **value hint is THE BIBLE** (chartered — the beta's guide bands).
+5. Automation-only, unverified in person: **dig Esc-close under synthetic events**.
+6. *(carried from §30.6)* no per-day `gone` tracking on parody/mint dig stock — scarcity-per-day
+   needs the save to carry pull records; rule it with the guide bands.
+
+## §32 — R32: v7.0-beta wave 1 — THE BIBLE + scarcity + the §31.6 queue (Fable, solo round, JING5)
+
+**The round in one line:** the guide bands land (derived, not baked), gems exist (parody bins only,
+by construction), a bought slot stays gone for the day (pulls ride the save), and §31.6 items 1–3
+are fixed. All gates green; the no-pump law survives the §9.1 basis swap structurally.
+
+### §32.1 What shipped, by seam
+
+- **`js/interiors/bible.js`** (C) — the band table mirroring E's pipeline thresholds
+  (record 8/25/60 · book 5/15/40 · toy 6/20/50), `bandRange`/`guideText`/`sellBasis`. Derivation
+  ruling: NO pack re-emit (charter risk #3 never opens); if E's thresholds move, bible.js moves in
+  the same commit.
+- **dig.js** (C) — parody sleeves roll seeded bands (25/45/22/8%) + a 10% gem on collector/grail
+  (asking strictly under the keeper's own bandLow offer: collector $2–9 vs $12 · grail $5–20 vs
+  $30); fixed 9-draw stream shape per item; `rare` now ≡ grail (matches real packs). Real offers
+  carry `band` off `price_band`. `open({gone})` omits pulled slots AFTER the draw (the R27
+  pick-then-omit seam, zero collateral) — real via `'sku:<id>'`, parody via original offer index
+  (`o.i` survives filtering, identity preserved). The pull card + sell card gain the **guide
+  stamp** (`guide $8–24` / `$60+`) — present-fields-only, and the card NEVER says "gem": spotting
+  asking-under-guide is the player's skill.
+- **sell.js** (C) — §9.1 basis swap executed exactly as pre-ratified: `sellOffer(sellBasis(entry))`
+  = `min(bandLow−1, max(1, floor(bandLow·0.5)))` when banded, pricePaid basis for alpha-era
+  entries (they sell exactly as before — no migration needed).
+- **save.js** (F) — optional `pulls: string[]` on procity-save/1 (validated loudly when present;
+  absent on alpha saves — old savers drop it silently, never reject). `recordPull`/`pullsFor`
+  seams; pruned on sleep/import (day-tagged keys from other days are unreachable by construction;
+  untagged = real-sourced, kept — sold means gone). Cap 600 FIFO. Collection entries gain
+  optional `band` (recordFind stamps dig + shelf buys).
+- **interior_mode.js** (F) — pull keys `${shopId}|${binKey}${pullTag}#${slot}`; pullTag =
+  `@d<game.day>` for rotating crates (INCLUDING day 1 — the seed stays untagged per the day-1
+  convention, the ledger doesn't), `''` for real-sourced. The SEED input is untouched (A's
+  rotation boundary holds). `digOffers` honest surface (index/ask/band/sku) for the gate.
+- **hud.js + index.html** (B/F) — §31.6-2: `#pc-game` rides document.body (position:fixed, z 30),
+  ticks in every mode (`hud.tickGame()` from the interior/map branches), yields to the dig/sell
+  cards and the map; C toggles the crate anywhere. §31.6-1: cluster-pose spawn — main-street
+  shop doors (block kind, both generators), stand at the door nearest the cluster heart, face the
+  longer run of shopfronts; pure plan math, zero draws; `?classic=1` keeps the frozen pose.
+  §31.6-3: DAWN swaps the dome to `high-cirrus` (lighting `dawnSky` opt, null under classic);
+  a weather `setSky` is now an explicit override that always wins.
+
+### §32.2 THE GATE (`smoke_bible`, STRICT) + the R30 amendment
+
+Scans EVERY bin of the record shop off `digOffers`: band law on all offers (in-band unless a
+collector/grail gem), then runs the buy-EVERYTHING ledger on **the gem's bin** (leg is
+non-vacuous by construction — 80 offers/5 bins, bin1 holds 2 gems on the pinned seed, grail
+asking $19 vs keeper $30). Ledger closes exactly: Σask $333 → Σoffer $135 (gems alone +$21,
+every non-gem strictly negative). Scarcity: the emptied bin re-opens at 0, STAYS 0 across a full
+reload (16 pulls in the save); negative control: `?game=0` re-opens it at 16 — the detector
+discriminates. 0 console errors. **R30 amendment (sell_routing):** `credited < paid` was the
+alpha inequality; the gate now asserts the exact formula (`credited == min(basis−1, basis//2)`,
+basis = bandLow-or-pricePaid, `credited < basis`) — the fence moved from the receipt to the
+band, which is what charter law #2 always said.
+
+### §32.3 Environment note (JING5)
+
+`web/assets/models/` is GITIGNORED build output — a fresh checkout runs stock=real/book-toy/
+no-pump gates RED with 404s (the R31-green tree lives on m3ultra). Fixed here by rsync from
+m3ultra. If a third machine joins the rotation, sync that dir (49 M) or re-run E's pipeline.
+
+## §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.
+
+## §34 — R34: GODBAY, the offline auction (v7.0 close opens) (Fable, solo, JING5)
+
+- **save.js:** `godbayHammer(entry, townKey)` — THE ONE-HAMMER LAW: seeded by ITEM IDENTITY
+  (`godbay:<townKey>:<sku|slotId>:<dayFound>:<pricePaid>`), never by resolution day — a
+  passed-in item re-lists to the same result forever, no retry farm. Fixed 4-draw stream. Rolls:
+  15% passed in (comes home free) · uniform hammer across the band (grail top = 2×low; unbanded
+  alpha finds auction around pricePaid — honest, never invented) · 12% bidding war ×1.5–2.0 ·
+  12% commission, net floor $1. EV ≈ 0.8×mid — under in-band asking EV, so random flipping
+  bleeds and only FINDS profit; the keeper's half-of-low stays the instant floor, the auction
+  is the gambler's ceiling (bounded 2×high×0.88). PRNG imported from core/prng.js; the band
+  table imported from C's bible.js (one authority — no mirror after all).
+- `listings` optional on procity-save/1 (entry shape + listDay, same back-compat law).
+  `listFind` (identity, entry leaves the crate — can't also sell it) · `resolveAuctions()` runs
+  in adopt() AND sleep(): sleep, travel, and day-moving imports all hammer what they pass.
+  `takeAuctionNews()` drains the transient morning paper (NOT saved — the ledger is cash/
+  collection; the paper is a toast).
+- **hud.js:** ⚖ LIST on crate find rows (mail-in consignment) + AT AUCTION section; rebuild
+  watches listings. **index.html:** the wake toast and the arrival toast fold the paper in.
+- **Gate `smoke_godbay` (STRICT):** consign through the real crate DOM → save carries it ·
+  ONE-HAMMER determinism (a frozen pre-sleep export slept twice lands byte-identical) · bounded
+  honest resolution (SOLD net $19 on a standard record, ≤ 2×24×0.88) · the wake toast carried
+  "⚖ SOLD Cane Toad Blues — hammer $22, $19 after fees" · the ride to melbourne hammered a
+  listing on arrival · ?game=0 has no crate to list from · 0 console errors.
+- G's later LIVE tier must match these laws (the ladder rule: the offline tier is the contract).
+
+## §35 — R35: THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES (Fable, solo, JING5)
+
+Fresh-game detection = day 1 ∧ empty collection ∧ empty listings (no flag in the save — the
+delta law stays clean; a returning empty-crate player re-seeing beats is onboarding working,
+not a bug). Seeded first want: `rng(citySeed,'firstwant',0)` × dig.js ARTISTS (exported R35);
+guarded on empty wants so the persisted want isn't re-added. Splash gains #pc-hunt (fresh+game
+only). Beats: ① on the go-click (900ms), ② on first `procity:digOpen`, ③ on first find via
+wallet.onChange, send-off on first sale-or-listing (listener self-removes). #pc-toast body-
+mounted (z 31) — visible in interiors/map; hud.dispose removes it. Gate `smoke_first_five`
+STRICT (see ROUND35_INSTRUCTIONS). All v7.0 SYSTEMS are now built — tour + freeze + tag remain,
+tag gated on John's playtest.
+- **Cross-round amendment the suite caught (the reason full runs exist):** R35's seeded first
+  want changed the FRESH-BOOT CONTRACT (wants starts at 1, not 0) and the R33 gate's three
+  fresh-boot assumptions went red on the full run — green solo, red together. Amended to a
+  baseline snapshot (base = wants at boot; card adds base+1; the rumor may name ANY live want;
+  buying clears ITS want back to base). A feature that moves a boot invariant must sweep every
+  gate that assumed it — grep the harness for the invariant before calling a round closed.

+## WAVE-2 STATUS + F'S THREE LOAD-BEARING INPUTS (Fable, post-wave review)
+
+*A/B/C/E/G are ALL IN. The beta tagged. What remains is F's close (#2 reader → #3 gate → #4
+sandbox → #5 tour → #7 tag). The waves handed F three inputs that change the brief's letter —
+build to THESE, not to my original wording:*
+
+1. **C's seam ruling (§8): direct wire, no hook — but PICK-THEN-OMIT is law.** The naive wiring
+   (filter `pack.items`) RESHUFFLES the crate — C measured one sale changing 21 other records.
+   The reader draws from the stable full list and omits `gone` after: a crate with 3 sold shows
+   13, not a different 16. **Assert zero collateral in the gate** (sell one fixture record, the
+   other 119 identities unchanged). "Selling one record must remove one record, not re-stock
+   the shop."
+2. **G's finding: `gone[]` has no subject in production.** The real POS has recorded no sale
+   since 2026-07-01 — 0 of crate 550's 120 records have ever sold, so a sold-means-gone assert
+   on live data passes vacuously forever. G built the remedy: **`make-fixture`** gives the gate
+   a subject. The gate MUST use it (vacuous-gate law — G flagged it before the gate could be
+   born blind).
+3. **G's lifecycle is the kill switch:** `godverse_server.py start|stop|status` — the
+   kill-the-server gate drives it directly. The three fences are machine-enforced (read-only
+   credential measured permission-denied; `/reserve`+`/buy` → 501; metadata only, mint shops
+   404) — assert on them as fences, not re-derive them.
+
+*Also for the record: E's freeze caught redhill_godverse missing from the towns roster for
+three rounds (on disk, pinned, bootable by key — invisible only in B's selector; the one
+consumer nobody gated). E owned it, fixed it, and wrote the gate-shape lesson. B verified the
+R26 handshake against G's real manifest. A judged the risk list line-by-line and correctly
+CARRIED risk #1 — "nothing retires this line except that gate going green."*
+
+## WAVE-3 STATUS + TWO RATIFICATIONS (Fable, post-reader review)
+
+*F's reader is IN (`39cfc3d`): pick-then-omit with `gone`/`price` applied IN PLACE (identity
+and order preserved), fire-and-forget with a 1200 ms abort + circuit breaker, real-sourced
+shops only. Browser-proven: 3 fixture sales → 0 collateral; server killed mid-session → 13.1 ms
+enter, 14 ms worst frame gap, zero errors. Two F rulings are hereby RATIFIED as law:*
+
+1. **Tier 2 is opt-in: `?live=1` / `?live=<url>`; absent → byte-identical to the beta.** F's
+   reasoning is the R26 lesson applied to a server — a default boot must never ask a question
+   that has no answer on machines that aren't John's. "Tier 2 is a place you go, not a thing
+   that happens to you." Auto-discovery is a v5.x question with a reachability contract.
+2. **The collateral assertion is the canonical sold-means-gone gate.** "The gone item never
+   renders" cannot discriminate pick-then-omit from filter-the-array — both hide the record;
+   only COLLATERAL (the other 119 identities and order unchanged) tells them apart. Gates
+   assert collateral. (The vacuous-gate law's most precise application yet.)
+
+**F's remaining close, in order:** formalize the browser proofs as the permanent smoke class
+(#3's three arms + #4's both-directions sandbox, collateral-asserted, fixture-subject via
+`make-fixture`) → the v5 tour (#5 — the crate walk, the mint-shop honest caption, the classic
+control) → docs (#6 F-side: README v5 + the flags table gains `?live`) → `qa.sh --strict
+--matrix` + the new smoke class → tag **`v5.0`** → push. Then Fable writes the epoch retro.
+
+## WAVE-4 (Fable): two ratifications, one micro-task, and the tag path
+
+**RATIFIED — F's §27 console-error ruling, and it is strictly stronger than the brief it
+replaces.** The brief's "ZERO console errors on server death" (my wording, echoed in A's risk
+line #1) is physically unachievable: a dead-host fetch logs `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED` at the
+browser level where no `.catch()` reaches — to log zero, the reader would have to know the
+server is dead without asking. One refusal is the irreducible cost of discovering death. The
+ratified assertion: **zero errors from game code + EXACTLY ONE refused connection** — which
+proves the circuit breaker, where "zero" could never distinguish a working breaker from a
+broken one (both fail it). F filed this loudly as the beneficiary instead of relaxing it
+quietly; that is the standard. (A: your risk-line wording is superseded by this record — a
+one-line amendment at your leisure, not a blocker.)
+
+**RATIFIED — the control-based frame assertion.** F's original `<250 ms` threshold passed
+while measuring Lane C's room build and calling it network behaviour; the control (same walk,
+breaker tripped, no network: 202 ms) exposed it, and the death's true cost is **Δ+2 ms**.
+Assertions on frame cost are DELTAS AGAINST A CONTROL from here on, not absolute numbers —
+the R21 lesson, now law for performance gates.
+
+**THE MICRO-TASK — B: the frontage pose (F's filed ask).** F produced three frames of empty
+road trying to re-derive your frontage anchor, then stopped — correctly (the cluster primitive
+answers "where is the town's heart", and Red Hill's heart doesn't contain Monster Robot; a
+frontage frame asks a different question). You own the frontage geometry, the R26 shopfront
+mark, and the `poseForVenue` machinery: publish a pose helper or bookmark that frames a shop's
+frontage BY LOT (keyed off `shop.lot` / godverseShopId — `poseForShopFront(shopOrId, dist)`),
+verified on Monster Robot (mark visible, door centred, sleeves-through-glass a bonus). One
+commit, B-pathspec. This also closes the gap for every future godverse tour frame.
+
+**Then F closes:** the 4th frame through B's helper → full `qa.sh --strict --matrix` +
+the (now-permanent, corrected) kill-the-server smoke class → tag **`v5.0`** → push. Fable's
+retro follows.
+
+## WAVE-5 (Fable): THE SPEC RULING — the facade is +Z, and the fifth hold stands
+
+*B's micro-task found why F photographed empty road three times: it was never the pose.
+`plan_osm.js:443` aims the lot's −Z at the road (implementing CITY_SPEC:71); `buildings.js:404`
+draws the facade on +Z (CITY_SPEC:335, B's canon). The spec contradicts itself; each generator
+implemented one half; synthetic follows B's canon so every golden has been green over a wrong
+product since R18 — v4.0 shipped on it. The epoch's signature species at its worst: not a gate
+failing on correct behaviour, but a green suite over a wrong world.*
+
+**THE RULING: the visible facade is LOCAL +Z. B's canon is canonical.** It has been the de
+facto truth since v1 (buildings.js drew it there from the start; venue.js seats door-glow/
+queue/posters there; A's own R15 write-up said "the visible venue face is +Z"). CITY_SPEC:71's
+−Z line described the SIM convention (rig-forward at ry=0) and got written into the lots
+contract by ambiguity — the same −Z/+Z species as R13's RY_FLIP and R15's posters, now at the
+root. The spec amends so the lots contract states: **facade/door/frontage = local +Z**; the
+sim/rig-forward convention is documented separately as the different thing it is.
+
+**A — the fix, the sweep, the pins (ONE commit):**
+1. Land B's proven one-liner in the real-roads seating (`ry = atan2(-nx,-nz)` — B measured
+   katoomba 0/72 → 72/72 facing and F's money shot works 4 m from Musgrave Road; B reverted it
+   because it's your file).
+2. **Measure the marched-osm path for the same flaw** — don't assume it's clean because nobody
+   noticed; that's how this one survived nine rounds. State the verdict either way.
+3. Amend CITY_SPEC:71 per the ruling, re-pin every moved golden (the 36 real-town pins move;
+   marched/synthetic only if your measurement says so), all in the same commit per the
+   amendment law.
+4. **The cross-convention gate (the lesson made law):** the selfcheck gains an assert measured
+   in B's canon — every lot's +Z facade faces its frontEdge street side — so the two
+   conventions are compared AGAINST EACH OTHER forever, not each against its own spec line.
+   A self-consistent check over a self-contradicting spec passes under either convention;
+   only the cross-check sees it. (F proved this the hard way and recorded it.)
+
+**F — then the close:** re-gate (the matrix against A's re-pins), re-shoot the tour (the
+frontage frame through B's `poseForShopFront` — and `street_noon` on real towns, which has
+been "46 draws of bare road" since R18, becomes a real street), `qa.sh --strict --matrix`,
+tag **`v5.0`**, push.
+
+**B — done, with honours:** the helper (door-centred by projection, `doorCentreNdcX = 0.0000`),
+the selector extracted to ONE home (`'g:31'` — the id-namespace fence now has a single
+resolver), the self-correction of your own R27 intel, and the discipline of proving A's fix
+then reverting it. Nothing further owed.
+
 ## THE EXACT RUN ORDER
 
 0. **WAVE 0: F re-runs and tags `v5.0-beta`.** Hard stop until it lands.

+# PROCITY — Round 28 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-17 · **v5.0 SHIPPED, retro written ([RETRO_V5.md](../RETRO_V5.md)). Nothing is
+owed anywhere.** Round 28 is deliberately LIGHT: v6's first spike (the one that needs nothing
+new) plus one parked polish item per lane — the items that have waited politely since as far
+back as R7. Tag **`v5.1`** at close. The v6 spikes 2/3 stay gated on John's mocap vids and the
+ultra integration call; nobody starts them.
+
+## The ledger
+
+1. **SPIKE 1 — the free stash (E + D; v6 groundwork, the charter's first thread).**
+   - **E**: convert two cached Mixamo clips from the tailnet stash — **`lean`** and
+     **`look-around`** — via the proven `fbx_to_clip.py` path (mesh-free, 65-bone, licence
+     table lines per clip: Mixamo royalty-free, same zone as walk/idle/sit). Depot + local per
+     the sit.glb precedent.
+   - **D**: wire them into street loiter — a window-shopping stop occasionally leans
+     (shopfront-adjacent) or looks around (anywhere). Seeded rolls on your existing `benchsit`
+     pattern (own rng stream, identity signature untouched), classic-safe by the same
+     `!CLASSIC` fetch gate, byte-identical proofs as ever (setSitting taught you the
+     scale-aware traps — `lean` against a wall wants the same care).
+   - Acceptance: a fresh boot shows peds leaning and glancing; classic/`?noassets` untouched;
+     the R16 seated-stature precedent covers any pose the no-giants gate misjudges (tag
+     `procityPosed` if needed — F's gate arm from R16 generalizes).
+2. **Awning fabric ripple (B — parked since R17's wind round, your promised pick).** The
+   striped fabric canopies share the rigid awning InstancedMesh; split them (or attribute-mask
+   them) and give ONLY the fabric a gentle wind ripple riding your existing `wind.js` uniforms.
+   Weather-driven like the trees; `?classic`/`?weather=0` byte-identical by the same proof
+   pattern; budget stated (~0 expected — it's your shader).
+3. **`audioEmitter` (C — your own parked idea, at last).** Positional interior audio: the gig
+   bed/walla emitting from the stage rather than the room, the till from the counter. Scope it
+   yourself (it's your idea — the brief states acceptance only): audible positioning in a venue
+   + a normal shop, fail-soft under `?mute`/`?noassets`, no new assets (it's routing, not
+   content), B's audio engine consulted not modified (publish the ask if you need an engine
+   seam — B's file).
+4. **Instrument LOD (E + D — the oldest tri item, v3.1-era).** E: `_lo` variants (~3–4k) for
+   the five instruments (the `_hi` depot pattern in reverse); D: distance swap in the band
+   (interiors are close-quarters — if the measured win is <20k tris in practice, KILL the item
+   with the measurement and it leaves the backlog forever, the wind-sway rule).
+5. **The gate + the tag (F, last).** New-clip figure checks (lean/look poses through the
+   scale gate), a bookmark spot-check (leaning peds in old frames), `qa.sh --strict --matrix`,
+   notes §28, tag **`v5.1`**, push. Nothing here moves a golden (clips and shaders are outside
+   every plan hash) — flag loudly if anything disagrees.
+6. **A + G — rest.** A: on-call (nothing should touch a plan). G: your next work is v5.x
+   Option B when John sets a hold budget, or mocap support on ultra — nothing on m3 this round.
+
+## THE EXACT RUN ORDER
+
+1. **Start together: E (#1 clips + #4 `_lo` variants) + B (#2) + C (#3).**
+2. **When E's clips land: D (#1 wiring, then #4 swap-or-kill).**
+3. **When B/C/D are in: F (#5)** — gate, tag `v5.1`, push.
+
+Waves: **[E, B, C] → [D] → [F]**. A/G rest.
+
+## Standing
+
+- **John — two unblockers for v6, both yours, both parallel to this round:** (1) film 2–3
+  mocap test vids into MOCAPGOD's queue (`docs/CAPTURE.md` there — the crate-riffle first);
+  (2) nudge Fable-on-ultra for the MOCAPGOD-C/MIRPAMO integration call. When both exist,
+  R29 runs Spikes 2/3 and the v6 charter ratifies on their results.
+- Also from the retro, the real-world note: **the shop POS has recorded no sale since
+  2026-07-01** — check the till sync when you're next in.
+- **Backlog after this round** (if #4 kills cleanly): tram-stop tri diet · flag retirement ·
+  Option B · tier-2 auto-discovery · the v6 tracks. The polish debt is nearly drained.

+# PROCITY — Round 29 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-17 · **v5.1 SHIPPED** (`cdce67c`, tag on origin; qa 7/0/0, matrix 10×7, goldens
+unmoved as predicted). R28 review, short: the sweep was the culture working — B and D each
+**killed their item with a measurement** (the wind-sway rule twice in one round; the backlog
+polish debt is now effectively drained), D's mid-round STOP saved E a pointless bake, C shipped
+`audioEmitter` after measuring its own v3-era prescription inert (panner ratio 1.0000 —
+bit-identical door vs stage), E shipped `look.glb` with the bytes sha1-verified BACK off the
+public depot and found **`lean` does not exist** (the brief's sixth corrected premise — the
+stash never had it), and F tagged with the pose gate honestly SKIPPED: **the spike never
+reached the game.** Round 29 finishes Spike 1 and runs Spikes 2/3 — the v6 charter ratifies on
+their results. Most of this round is GATED ON JOHN (below); wave 0 runs today.
+
+## WAVE 0 — finish Spike 1 (runnable NOW, no dependencies)
+
+**D:** bind and wire `look.glb` — `loadPedFleet(base, { look })` per the sit gate (a raw fetch
+breaches the classic zero-fetch covenant, E already flagged it), a seeded glance during
+window-shop loiter (own rng stream, identity signature untouched, byte-identical proofs — your
+own R17/R28 pattern). **F:** the pose gate gains its subject — un-SKIP it, verify a glancing
+ped in a fresh boot, spot-check one old frame. No tag for this alone; it rides Spike 2's close.
+
+## THE GATE ON THIS ROUND — John's two unblockers (everything below waits)
+
+1. **Film the Spike-2 shot list into MOCAPGOD's queue** (protocol: MOCAPGOD `docs/CAPTURE.md`):
+   - **the crate-riffle** (at the shop if you can — it's the epoch's poster clip),
+   - **the wall-lean** (E's R28 finding made this a *need*, not a nice-to-have — the stash
+     never had one),
+   - one free pick (busker strum, trolley push, phone check — dealer's choice).
+2. **The ultra integration call**: MOCAPGOD Lane C (retarget) vs MIRPAMO's retarget — one
+   machine, decided by Fable-ultra before either is built twice. Nudge that session.
+
+## SPIKE 2 — the full mocap loop (when the queue has vids)
+
+Runs mostly on ultra (MOCAPGOD C/D lanes + the integration call), lands on m3 as clips:
+- **E (m3):** receive the retargeted clips, convert/validate to the house clip form (the
+  look.glb checklist: mesh-free, 65 joints, bind-verified), **licence line: in-house / NC-
+  flagged** per the MOCAPGOD decision — the validator prints it or fails (the R25 law).
+- **D:** wire the riffle to a crate-digger context and the lean to shopfront loiter (the R28
+  wave-0 machinery generalizes — this should be data, not new code).
+- **F:** the spike's falsifiable gate: a ped performs a clip that DID NOT EXIST before John
+  filmed it — assert the clip's provenance chain (queue video id → BVH → clip sha) end to end,
+  not "a ped moves". Then tag **`v6.0-spike`** (a checkpoint tag, not an epoch tag) with the
+  spike report.
+
+## SPIKE 3 — a generated body (parallel to Spike 2, ultra-heavy)
+
+flux_local concept → hunyuan3d_mlx mesh → **MIRPAMO autorig** → walk retarget → **in-game
+through the no-giants gate**. Owner: G/ultra produces; E validates + licences (CC0-equiv,
+generated); D spawns it as a fleet variant behind the same opt pattern. HONESTY CLAUSE: this is
+the least-proven link in the whole v6 stack — a clean failure report ("autorig quality on
+generated meshes: X") is a full deliverable and shapes the charter as much as a success.
+
+## After the spikes — the ratification
+
+Fable amends `V6_LIVING_STREET.md` DRAFT → ratified (or re-scoped) on the spike reports, and
+the v6 rounds proper get chartered: clips at scale · personas · street discipline (footpaths +
+occasional cars) · bodies. **A, B, C rest this round** (A: nothing touches a plan; B/C: your
+R28 kills closed your queues) — you're first up in v6 proper, where street discipline (B: cars;
+A: crossings data) and persona interiors (C) are the headline tracks.
+
+## Laws
+
+Unchanged, plus the R28 additions to the case law: **a kill with a measurement is a full
+deliverable** (two more this round — the backlog never carries a zombie again) and **a
+wishlist is not an inventory** (E measured the stash instead of trusting a four-epoch-old
+list; briefs cite measured stock only).
+
+## THE EXACT RUN ORDER
+
+0. **Now: D + F (wave 0, Spike 1 closes).**
+1. **John: film the vids + nudge ultra (the gate).**
+2. **When clips flow: E → D → F (Spike 2), G/ultra → E → D (Spike 3, parallel).**
+3. **F: the spike gate + `v6.0-spike` checkpoint tag.**
+4. **Fable: charter ratification → v6 rounds proper.**
+
+## Standing
+
+- **John — the two unblockers above are the whole critical path.** Everything m3-side is one
+  small D+F wave and then waiting on footage of you leaning on a wall. The till-sync note from
+  the retro stands too (no POS sale recorded since 2026-07-01).
+- **Backlog after R28's kills:** tram-stop tri diet · flag retirement (policy, not urgent) ·
+  Option B (your hold budget) · tier-2 auto-discovery. Thinner than it has ever been.

+# PROCITY — Round 30 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-17 · **V7 THE GAME is RATIFIED** ([docs/V7_THE_GAME.md](../V7_THE_GAME.md) —
+read it first, it is the epoch's truth). Round 30 opens **v7.0-alpha: THE SAVE AND THE CRATE**
+— wave 1 of the smallest set that makes one town play as a complete small game. *(Housekeeping:
+the phantom R30 that two lanes were spun up for never had a brief — that was Fable's miss, now
+fixed. If your session finds prior R30 work anywhere, it doesn't exist; this document is R30.)*
+
+## The ledger (v7.0-alpha wave 1)
+
+1. **THE SAVE CORE (F — the foundation everything consumes; publish the contract FIRST).**
+   - `web/js/world/save.js` (F-owned): versioned localStorage save implementing **the delta
+     law** — cash · owned items (each = `{townKey, godverseShopId|shopId, sku|slotId, pricePaid,
+     dayFound}` — the sku IS the identity, per the R25/26 fences) · current town · **day
+     number** · schema `procity-save/1`. Save on SLEEP (see #3) and on `beforeunload`;
+     export/import as JSON (John moves machines).
+   - **The published contract** (`window.PROCITY.game`): `{ day, cash, collection[], save(),
+     load(), sleep(), export(), import(json) }` — B builds UI on this, C reads it at the
+     counter. Publish the shape in LANE_F_NOTES §30 in your FIRST commit, implementation after.
+   - **Laws wired from birth:** `?classic=1` → NO save layer constructed, zero localStorage
+     touches (the covenant stays a pure v2 boot); `?game=0` opt-out; a corrupted/foreign save
+     → rejected loudly, fresh start, the town NEVER breaks (delta law: world state is not in
+     the save, so it can't).
+2. **THE SELL COUNTER CONTRACT (C — publish first, implement second).** Walk to a keeper's
+   counter with items → a sell card (mirror of the buy card): item, offer price, SELL.
+   **Offer = below the buy-side band, structurally** (the no-pump law — C picks the multiplier,
+   documents it in LANE_C_PUB §9). v7.0-alpha sells at any shop of the item's type (record
+   shop buys records); the fancy stuff (per-keeper taste, haggling) is beta+. C consumes
+   `PROCITY.game.collection` read-only; the debit/credit goes through the wallet exactly like
+   buying (the proven seam).
+3. **SLEEP = SAVE = TOMORROW (F + B).** v7.0-alpha's day-advance: the HUD gains a SLEEP action
+   (B's surface; enabled any time for the alpha — home-base gating is beta) → `game.sleep()`:
+   save, `day+1`, **stock rotation** (the parody/mint pick streams re-seed as
+   `rng(citySeed, shopId, 'stock', day)` — F threads `day` into the existing stock seeding;
+   REAL stock never rotates, it's real), gig night = `day % 7` (plugs into the existing week
+   schedule), wake at dawn (segment 0).
+4. **THE COLLECTION UI (B — after F's contract lands).** A collection panel in hud.js (your
+   selector/HUD patterns): cover thumb, title/artist, price paid, where + day found; count in
+   the standing HUD; the SLEEP button + day/cash readout. Money-shot-grade is beta; readable
+   and correct is alpha.
+5. **THE GATES (F, last).**
+   - **Save/load determinism:** play a scripted session (buy 2, sell 1, sleep 2×) → export →
+     fresh boot → import → assert byte-equal game state AND the world untouched (fingerprint
+     unchanged — the delta law's falsifiable form).
+   - **The no-pump gate v0:** script buy-then-immediately-sell N times → assert monotonic cash
+     LOSS (the spread is the house's). The full adversarial playtest-bot is beta.
+   - **Classic purity:** `?classic=1` → zero localStorage reads/writes (measure, don't trust),
+     no HUD additions, fingerprint frozen.
+   - **Rotation determinism:** same seed, same day → byte-identical shop stock; day N ≠ day
+     N+1 (actually different, not just asserted different).
+   - `qa.sh --strict --matrix` green throughout. **No tag** — the alpha tags when it plays
+     (likely R31, after the loop closes end-to-end).
+6. **A — the rotation boundary verify (small).** F threads `day` into stock seeding — A
+   verifies it rides RUNTIME streams only: plan generation never sees `day`, all goldens
+   frozen, selfcheck proves it. One note, one line. **D, E, G — rest** (E's guide-band bake
+   and G's GodBay open in beta; D's rumors likewise. If footage lands in the MOCAPGOD queue
+   meanwhile, v6's Spike 2 takes priority for E/D — the epochs interleave, Fable sequences).
+
+## Laws
+
+The charter's five (delta · no-pump · game-money · classic-pure · seeded-rotation) + everything
+inherited. No goldens move this round (rotation is runtime; A verifies the boundary). The
+vacuous-gate law applies to every new gate above — each names its subject and proves it touched
+it.
+
+## THE EXACT RUN ORDER
+
+1. **Start together: F (save core — contract in first commit) + C (sell contract first,
+   implementation second).**
+2. **When F's contract is published: B (collection UI + SLEEP surface).** F continues
+   (sleep/rotation threading) in parallel — disjoint files.
+3. **When F + B + C are in: F gates (#5), A verifies the boundary (#6).**
+4. Fable reviews; R31 charters the rest of the alpha (or its close, if it plays).
+
+Waves: **[F, C] → [B, F-cont] → [F-gate, A]**. D/E/G rest unless footage arrives.
+
+## WAVE-1/2 REVIEW NOTES (Fable, mid-round — the agents' reports are the record)
+
+**RATIFIED — F's two amendments, both measured:** (1) gig night = **(day − 1) % 7** — the
+brief's literal `day % 7` flips a fresh boot (day 1) off night 0 and breaks the R13 cover/band
+gates before the first sleep; the brief was wrong, the measurement wins. (2) **sleep saves
+AFTER incrementing** — disk always carries the morning you woke into.
+
+**ADJUDICATED — the cross-lane 6 lines (F edited C's `interiors.js`/`layout.js` for the
+`stockDay` salt):** SANCTIONED, this instance — because all three conditions held: the owner
+reviewed and ratified on the record BEFORE the commit ("rides my own sub-stream discipline,
+absent ⇒ byte-identical"), the edit is marked and cited in the commit, and it is minimal.
+**Without all three, a cross-lane edit gets reverted on sight.** The law stands: write the
+ask, not the edit — C folds the seam into LANE_C_PUB at its next session; carried to the
+epoch retro as a process note.
+
+**WAVE-3 INPUTS (bind these into the gates session):** the rotation gate must hash **vertex
+data, not transforms** (F measured its transform fingerprint vacuous over batched parody
+stock); C's money-pump **negative control** (an item minted into the collection without a
+successful debit must be impossible — assert `recordFind` only fires on `wallet.buy` truthy);
+the **E-key sell routing** (§9.4 dig → sell → shelf) is F's held item and lands in the wave-3
+session BEFORE the gates run against it.
+
+## ROUND CLOSED (Fable, at the wave-3 review) — **v7.0-alpha wave 1: COMPLETE, ALL GREEN**
+
+Ten commits, five lane-agent sessions, zero holds, zero cross-lane incidents beyond the one
+adjudicated. The loop is real and gated: dig → buy → the crate remembers → counter → E → sell
+(strictly at a loss) → sleep → tomorrow rotates the mint crates and never the real one → the
+save survives the reboot and the UI reads it. `qa.sh --strict --matrix` **7/0/0, MATRIX 10
+towns**, selfcheck 156,352, covenant frozen, the day provably cannot enter the world.
+
+**Fed to R31 (the alpha close — charter it after John PLAYS):** the beta rulings queue
+(scarcity-per-day pull records · guide bands · per-keeper taste · foreign-town display names
+via E's index) · F's harness lesson #3 (the HUD hides in interiors by design) · the design
+fact that re-buying a rotated sleeve is a strict money loser (correct, filed). **The alpha
+tags when it plays — John's hands on the real URL are the acceptance environment.**
+
+## Standing
+
+- **John — nothing blocks this round.** The deploy to digalot.fyi/procity still waits on your
+  VPS-access pick (grant me the ssh rule / run the script yourself) — worth doing THIS round:
+  testing the save loop in a real browser on the real URL is exactly the alpha's acceptance
+  environment. And the MOCAPGOD queue still wants your footage whenever.
+- **The drive question stands:** say "run it" and Fable spawns these lanes as subagents in the
+  wave order above, reviews between waves, and reports once at the end.

+# PROCITY — Round 31 instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-18 · **R30 closed all green** (7/0/0, matrix 10 towns, the loop live and gated).
+Round 31 is **the v7.0-alpha CLOSE**: play it, fix the friction, tag it. Charter stage check
+([V7_THE_GAME.md](../V7_THE_GAME.md)): the alpha = persistence + collection + sell-to-keeper +
+sleep/day + rotation, "ONE town plays as a complete (small) game" — every system landed in R30;
+what remains is the PLAYING and the honesty about what it feels like.
+
+## WAVE 0 — THE PLAYTEST (Fable, in person)
+
+Fable boots the game in a real browser and plays the loop AS A PLAYER, not as a gate: arrive,
+find a shop, dig, buy, check the crate, sell at a counter, sleep, verify tomorrow feels like
+tomorrow, reboot, confirm the town remembered. Deliverable: **the friction list** — every
+"why can't I", every confusing beat, every moment the game fails to explain itself — split
+into (a) alpha-blocking friction (bugs/confusion that would embarrass the tag) and (b) beta
+input (design wants, John's ruling queue). Honest numbers where they apply. *John's own
+playtest remains the beta charter's real input — Fable's hands are the alpha's acceptance
+stand-in, and the tag notes it.*
+
+## WAVE 1 — micro-fixes (only if wave 0 surfaces alpha-blockers)
+
+Assigned to owning lanes as tightly-scoped agents, same treaty. Nothing speculative — only
+what the playtest actually hit.
+
+## WAVE 2 — the tag (F)
+
+Money shot: the crate panel with real finds (the collection IS the alpha's face). Fresh
+`qa.sh --strict --matrix` on the final tree. Tag **`v7.0-alpha`** (annotated, the playtest
+verdict in the message), push main + tag. The README gains one line in the manual: sell at
+the counter with E, sleep to save.
+
+## ROUND CLOSED (Fable) — **v7.0-alpha TAGGED AND PUSHED** (`2491f1c`)
+
+Wave 0: Fable played the loop end to end — dig $10 → sell $5 (the spread felt) → keep a $12
+NM soul record → THE CRATE → full reload → **the town remembered** → SLEEP → day 2. Verdict:
+**the loop plays.** The playtest found the alpha-blocker every green gate had missed: **the
+dig was default-OFF on a plain boot** (v2-era opt-in, six epochs past the README's claim; every
+R30 gate booted `dig=1` explicitly — harness lesson #4, THE EXPLICIT-FLAG BLINDFOLD: a gate
+that boots its own flags cannot see a broken default). Waves 1+2: the flip (classic-safe,
+fenced with a naked-boot reachability assert + negative control), the de-staled splash, the
+money shot (Monster Robot's real crate, 3 real finds), qa 7/0/0 + MATRIX 10 towns on
+port-isolated servers (a second fix the round forced: the suite no longer silently reuses
+whatever holds :8130). **The beta queue is filed in LANE_F_NOTES §31.6** — spawn-faces-the-
+strip, crate-at-the-counter, dawn sky, THE BIBLE, per-day scarcity. The beta charters on
+John's own playtest whenever he walks the strip.
+
+## Standing
+
+- **John — the alpha's real acceptance is you:** play it (locally now, or grant the VPS ssh
+  and Fable ships digalot.fyi/procity same hour). Your friction list charters the beta. The
+  queued beta rulings await: per-day scarcity (pull records in the save) · guide bands (the
+  BIBLE) · keeper taste · foreign-town names via E's index.
+- v6 footage: the MOCAPGOD queue is still empty; Spike 2 wakes whenever you film.

+gets its cosmetic items. **Solo round:** John asked for direct progress; Fable executes all lanes
+in one session on JING5, same treaty, same gates — lane ownership is honoured in the commit
+messages, not the parallelism.
+
+## The design rulings this round encodes (from the ratified charter + §31.6 queue)
+
+1. **THE BIBLE derives, it is not baked.** E's band thresholds (build_stock_pack.py:88-94 —
+   record 8/25/60 · book 5/15/40 · toy 6/20/50) become a tiny JS mirror
+   (`js/interiors/bible.js`). No pack re-emit, so risk #3 (re-baked atlases orphaning owned
+   skus) never opens. The guide shows a BAND ("guide $25–59"), never a verdict — spotting the
+   gem stays the player's skill.
+2. **Gems live in the parody bins.** Real/mint packs derive `price_band` FROM `price`, so real
+   asking is always inside its band → with the §9.1 basis swap (sellOffer basis = bandLow),
+   every real round trip stays strictly negative and **the R30 no-pump gate holds untouched,
+   by construction**. Procedural stock gains seeded bands + a seeded under-band gem roll —
+   the only place asking can sit under the guide, which is exactly the op-shop fantasy.
+3. **Scarcity is what makes the gem loop safe** (§31.6 item 6, ruled WITH the bands as filed):
+   a bought dig slot enters `pulls` in the save (optional field, procity-save/1 — old saves
+   stay valid, old loaders drop the field without rejecting) and that bin omits it after the
+   draw (the proven `pack.gone` pick-then-omit seam — zero collateral). A gem is profit ONCE;
+   tomorrow's rotation re-keys the bin. Growth is bounded by finds, not arbitrage (charter
+   law #2's real meaning).
+4. **§31.6 items 1–3:** spawn becomes a computed cluster-pose facing the shop strip (classic
+   keeps the frozen v2 pose); THE CRATE surfaces inside interiors (C key — the §31.6
+   "crate at the counter" want, hidden while dig/sell cards own the screen); DAWN gets a
+   cool sky dome swap (classic + weather-override fenced).
+
+## Gate additions (F)
+
+`smoke_bible` in flags_check.py: guide stamp on the pull card (real + parody) · offer < bandLow
+structurally · a seeded parody gem exists and its round trip is positive ONCE (then the slot is
+gone — re-open the bin and it stays gone; reload and it stays gone) · negative control:
+`?game=0` re-opens the same bin with the slot PRESENT (the detector discriminates — scarcity is
+the save's doing, not the dig's). Classic purity untouched (no new module constructs under
+`?classic=1` / `?dig=0`).
+
+## ROUND CLOSED (Fable) — ALL GREEN
+
+`qa.sh --strict --matrix`: **7 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn · 0 skipped**, MATRIX 10 towns green.
+`smoke_bible`: 80 parody offers across 5 bins all band-lawful; bin1 holds 2 seeded gems (grail
+asking $19 vs keeper $30); the buy-everything ledger closes to the cent (Σask $333 → Σoffer
+$135, gems alone +$21, every non-gem strictly negative); the emptied bin stays empty across a
+full reload (16 pulls in the save) and `?game=0` re-opens it 16/16 (the control discriminates);
+0 console errors. sell_routing now asserts the exact §9.1 formula and passed on a BANDED item
+(standard, basis $8 → +$4). Money shots: `docs/shots/v7_beta/guide_card.png` (the guide stamp —
+"1974 COUNTRY guide $8–24" beside the $24 sticker) + `crate_at_the_counter.png` (THE CRATE open
+inside a shop, game bar riding bottom-right). Environment note: JING5's gitignored
+`web/assets/models/` was absent (fresh-checkout trap, now §32.3 in LANE_F_NOTES) — synced from
+m3ultra, which also un-warned the manifest validator's 15 cross-pack checks. Full record:

+# 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`.

+# PROCITY — Round 34 instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-20 · **R33 closed all green** — every v7.0-beta system is built. Round 34 opens
+**the v7.0 close: GODBAY, the offline auction** ([V7_THE_GAME.md](../V7_THE_GAME.md) system #4:
+"list an item, a SEEDED offline auction resolves NEXT DAY — the come-back-tomorrow hook").
+Offline tier FIRST per the proven ladder (G3's live rails are v7.x; this round is the seeded
+brain in the game layer, G's later live tier must match these laws). Solo round (John's "keep
+rolling").
+
+## The laws (GODBAY v0 — named now, gated below)
+
+1. **Mail-in consignment.** You list from THE CRATE (⚖ LIST on a find) — the 90s answer
+   (classifieds + the post). The entry leaves the collection into `listings` (you cannot also
+   sell it at a counter), `listDay` stamped. Resolution happens when the day moves past
+   `listDay` — sleep, travel, or a day-moving import all count (adopt() and sleep() both run
+   the resolver).
+2. **THE ONE-HAMMER LAW (no retry farming).** The hammer is seeded by ITEM IDENTITY —
+   `godbay:<townKey>:<sku|slotId>:<dayFound>:<pricePaid>` — NOT by the resolution day. A
+   passed-in item re-lists to the SAME result, forever. There is no re-roll anywhere in the
+   economy: the keeper's offer is a formula, the auction is one hammer per item, per life.
+3. **The house always eats.** Hammer rolls uniform across the band (grail's open top = 2×low);
+   ~12% chance of a bidding war (×1.5–2.0); ~15% passed in (returns to the crate, free);
+   12% commission, net floor $1. Expected value ≈ 0.8× band midpoint — UNDER the asking-price
+   EV of in-band stock, so random flipping bleeds and only FINDS profit (charter law #2's
+   spirit at the auction house: growth bounded by finds, the keeper's instant half-of-low
+   remains the coward's floor and the auction the gambler's ceiling — bounded at 2×high×0.88).
+4. **Delta law / classic purity unchanged.** `listings` is an optional procity-save/1 field
+   (same back-compat law as pulls/wants); no game layer ⇒ no listings, no DOM, no news.
+5. **The morning report.** Resolution queues transient news ("⚖ SOLD 'Sunburnt' — hammer $38,
+   $33 after fees"); the shell folds it into the wake/arrival toast. News is NOT saved — it's
+   the morning paper, not the ledger (cash/collection already carry the truth).
+
+## Gate (F): `smoke_godbay` (STRICT)
+
+List through the real crate DOM (C → ⚖ LIST) → entry moves collection→listings, the save
+carries it · sleep → resolved: listings empty, cash+net OR item returned, news queued, net
+within [1, 2.2×bandHigh] when sold · DETERMINISM: a pre-sleep export imported twice sleeps to
+byte-identical cash/collection both times (the seeded hammer, measured not trusted) · travel
+resolves too (list → ride to melbourne → resolved on arrival) · `?game=0` builds zero ⚖ DOM ·
+0 console errors.
+
+## ROUND CLOSED (Fable) — ALL GREEN
+
+`qa.sh --strict --matrix` on the final tree: **7 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn · 0 skipped**,
+MATRIX 10 towns green. `smoke_godbay`: consigned through the real crate DOM (collection 2→1,
+listDay stamped) · ONE-HAMMER determinism (a frozen pre-sleep export slept twice → byte-
+identical) · honest bounded resolution (SOLD net $19 on a standard record, ≤ 2×$24×0.88) ·
+the wake toast carried "⚖ SOLD 'Cane Toad Blues' — hammer $22, $19 after fees" · the ride to
+melbourne hammered a listing on arrival · `?game=0` has no crate to list from · 0 console
+errors. Design note vs the brief: the band table is IMPORTED from C's bible.js and the PRNG
+from core/prng.js (one authority each — the drafted mirror died in review). Money shots:

+⚖ row) + `godbay_at_auction.png`. Full record: LANE_F_NOTES §34.

+**What remains of v7.0:** THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES (onboarding — arrive with a want, three
+toast-beats) · the tour ("day one to first gem") · docs freeze · the tag. Then John's playtest
+charters what's next.

+# PROCITY — Round 35 instructions (from Fable, integrator)
+
+Date: 2026-07-20 · **R34 closed all green** (GODBAY hammers). Round 35 is **THE FIRST FIVE
+MINUTES** ([V7_THE_GAME.md](../V7_THE_GAME.md) system #7 — "smallest system, biggest
+stranger-facing payoff"), the last unbuilt v7.0 system before the tour/freeze/tag.
+
+## What ships
+
+1. **You arrive with a want.** A FRESH game (day 1, empty crate, empty auction house) seeds ONE
+   artist want off `rng(citySeed,'firstwant',0)` × C's parody roster (ARTISTS now exported) —
+   so the splash, the keeper rumors, and the tour all point at the same hunt on a given seed.
+   The splash names it: "You're hunting HILLS HOIST — $191 in your pocket." A returning save
+   gets its town back, not a tutorial; ?game=0 / classic never reach the block.
+2. **Three toast-beats walk the hustle** (fresh games only): ① find a record shop / E at a
+   crate (on walk-in) → ② riffle · mind the guide · BUY (first digOpen) → ③ sell at a counter
+   or ⚖ LIST and sleep (first find banked) → the send-off ("that's the whole hustle") on the
+   first sale-or-listing. Driven off existing events + wallet.onChange — zero new systems.
+3. **Toasts surface in every mode** — #pc-toast moved to document.body (the #pc-game body-mount
+   rule): beats fire INSIDE shops, and a SLEEP taken at a counter now shows its morning paper.
+
+## Gate (F): `smoke_first_five` (STRICT)
+
+Fresh game: 1 seeded want from the roster + the splash names hunt AND cash · beats ②/③/send-off
+through the REAL paths (E at crate / dig buy / crate ⚖) · a returning save gets NO tutorial
+(splash line hidden, no ② on dig) · a second fresh browser hunts the SAME artist (seeded, not
+random) · ?game=0 shows nothing · 0 console errors.
+
+## ROUND CLOSED (Fable) — ALL GREEN

+# PROCITY v5 — THE REAL SHOP: the epoch retro
+
+*Fable (m3, integrator), 2026-07-17, written after the `v5.0` tag (`b2d29ba`) per ROUND27 §7.
+Epoch span: R23 → R27. Tags: `v5.0-alpha` → `v5.0-beta` → `v5.0`. The first two-studio epoch:
+Lane G (ultra) went from merged guest to the lane that shipped the epoch's server.*
+
+## What shipped, in one breath
+
+The tier ladder, whole: **344 real-or-minted items across 15 keyed crates in two godverse
+towns**, every crate distinct (105 pairs, 0 shared titles), sourcing-honest (`real`/`mint` as
+law, prefixes as namespace fences); Monster Robot Party's actual crate 550 riffled and bought
+in-game off its actual POS; **tier 2 live** — read-only endpoints over the real till, fences
+enforced at the DB credential, `/reserve`+`/buy` absent by John's A-then-B ruling; and the
+epoch's defining proof: **a real HTTP server killed mid-session costs the game Δ+2 ms and
+exactly one refused connection** — the offline law as an executable, not a sentence. Plus the
+finale nobody ordered: **every shopfront in every town finally faces its street.**
+
+## The five holds — the epoch's spine
+
+Every hold was correct; every hold traced to the same species (a rule or contract meeting a
+case written before the case existed); every hold was released by its owner, never by the
+beneficiary:
+
+1. **R23** — the crate was real but had no street, no identity, no compatible contract; the
+   gate built to catch it was blind-green, and #7a as briefed would have passed vacuously.
+2. **R24→25** — E's rebuild sat uncommitted; tagging would have produced a tag whose tree
+   lacked the code that produced its green.
+3. **R26** — the mint-id rule demanded a POS sku from crates that never saw a till; G refused
+   the easy green because colliding id spaces in the economy layer eventually sells the wrong
+   record.
+4. **R27 (reader)** — "zero console errors on server death" was physically impossible; the
+   replacement (exactly one refusal) is strictly stronger because it proves the breaker.
+5. **R27 (facade)** — the fifth hold found the oldest bug in the project.
+
+## The finale: the facade, and the covenant amendment
+
+B's frontage helper — a micro-task — exposed that `plan_osm` aimed lots' −Z at the street
+while `buildings.js` draws facades on +Z. The wave-5 ruling named it "every real town since
+R18" and ordered A to *measure the marched path rather than assume it clean*. **A's measurement
+caught the ruling's own premise: it was EVERY town, EVERY path, since v1** — all four seating
+sites wrote `atan2(outward)` under comments that said `-outward`; 637 of 681 synthetic lots
+faced no street at all; the classic covenant town was a row of back walls, and A proved it the
+only way left — standing in the street, looking at NUMBAT PLAYTHINGS facing the dirt.
+
+**John ruled the covenant amendment**, and his ruling is the epoch's best line: *the covenant
+is anti-drift machinery, not a defect preservative.* `0x3fa36874` did its job for five epochs —
+it never drifted. It was never right, and no hash can catch what was wrong in the first commit.
+**A golden proves nothing changed; it cannot prove anything is correct.** 51 goldens re-pinned
+in one commit; F re-pinned its own files per A's handoff (lane boundaries held to the last);
+and A caught, in passing, a bare-string OR-clause in F's classic gate that would have gone
+green off a *sentence about* the old covenant. The cross-convention gate is now in the
+selfcheck so the two conventions are compared against each other forever.
+
+## The epoch's signature species: the vacuous gate
+
+Named as law in R24, then found NINE times — including three inside the law's own
+applications: the empty-glob validator, the covers-render #7a, my id-equality gate spec
+(positional ids collide), F's selector entering the wrong shop, the silent licence line, the
+impossible zero-errors assert, F's 72/72 self-agreement (testing a spec line's data against
+the same line), F's attempt-4 error-check (the call succeeded; the pose was never applied),
+and the stdout OR-clause. The case law that came out of it is the epoch's real export:
+
+- **A gate proves it touched its subject** (fetch log, matched-file count, id equality —
+  something falsifiable) or it is not a gate.
+- **The collateral assertion**: when correct and broken implementations both hide the obvious
+  evidence, assert on what discriminates (the other 119 records unchanged).
+- **Cross-convention checks**: two subsystems implementing "the same" convention are compared
+  against each other, never each against its own spec line.
+- **Control-deltas for performance**: an absolute threshold measures the wrong thing politely.
+- **A named exception starts protecting new bugs the moment the real fix exists** (F's 404
+  tolerance — deleted, and the deletion caught a ninth invisible probe).
+- **Id prefixes are namespace fences**; plan ids, godverse ids, POS skus and listing ids are
+  four spaces, and no bare number crosses them.
+
+## What worked — keep doing
+
+1. **Restraint under benefit.** F declined to touch A's sweep, E's validator, and E's
+   uncommitted file across three separate holds where one edit would have unblocked its own
+   tag; B proved the facade one-liner and reverted it; A handed F's re-pins to F instead of
+   editing F's files. The party that benefits never releases its own hold.
+2. **Ownership sentences.** "The red was mine" (E) · "my rule was the stale thing" (C) ·
+   "it fired 54/72 on a good town" (A) · "four of the five attempts were F's fault" (F).
+   Nobody defended; everybody measured.
+3. **The contract's author is the authority for the contract's shape** — and when contract
+   and runtime disagree, **the runtime is the authority** (R24's root-cause ruling).
+4. **Machine-enforced fences beat reviewed promises**: the read-only credential (measured
+   permission-denied), 501s for absent verbs, metadata-only responses.
+5. **The two-studio pattern matured**: G went from branch-merged guest (R23) to full lane on
+   main (R25) to shipping the epoch's server (R27), with John's rulings recorded as mechanism.
+
+## What cost us — fixed or fenced
+
+1. **Comments and specs are not measurements.** All four facade sites' comments described the
+   correct behaviour above code doing the opposite, for 27 rounds. The cross-convention gate
+   is the fix; the lesson is older: nothing is true because a document says it.
+2. **Consistency masquerades as correctness.** Every subsystem agreed with itself, so every
+   gate was green over a wrong world; only a human in the street saw it. Money shots and
+   walk-arounds are QA, not decoration — John's browser stroll started the v6 charter, and
+   A's street-level eyeball confirmed the covenant bug.
+3. **My briefs carried five corrected errors this epoch** (the `tier` field, the id-equality
+   gate, the zero-errors assert, the "wire on entry" default that F correctly made opt-in,
+   and the wave-5 premise). All five were caught by the contract-first channel or by
+   measurement before they became bugs. Briefs state acceptance; lanes own method; the
+   integrator is not exempt from measurement-over-brief.
+
+## Carried forward
+
+- **v5.x**: Option B reservation (chartered, behind John's hold budget) · tier-2
+  auto-discovery (needs a reachability contract) · more POS shops if monsterrobot gains
+  siblings · **a shop-ops note for John, not a code item: the POS has recorded no sale since
+  2026-07-01 — G proved the dump is fresh but the data is stale; worth checking the till's
+  sync before the next live demo.**
+- **v4.x tail** (unchanged): thin-tail clustering floor · seating overflow tail · instrument
+  LOD · tram-stop tri diet · awning ripple · audioEmitter · flag retirement.
+- **v6 — THE LIVING STREET**: charter drafted (`docs/V6_LIVING_STREET.md`), spikes gated on
+  John's mocap vids (the MOCAPGOD queue is still empty) and the MOCAPGOD-C/MIRPAMO
+  integration call on ultra.
+
+*— Fable. Twenty-seven rounds, eleven tags, five correct holds, one amended covenant. The game
+now sells a record that is really in the crate, in a shop that is really on the street, in a
+town that is really in Australia — and for the first time since v1, the shops are facing you
+when you walk up the road.*

+# PROCITY — THE FRONTIER (what is genuinely not figured out)
+
+*Fable (m3), 2026-07-17. John's challenge, verbatim: "there is heaps more to figure out — all
+the systems are set you say?" He's right. This doc is the honest map: what 29 rounds built is
+the WORLD and the PIPELine; the GAME — the reason a stranger would play for an hour — is
+mostly unfigured. Nothing here is chartered; it's the space the next epochs get picked from.
+Sibling docs: V2_IDEAS (the old parking lot), V6_LIVING_STREET (chartered, in flight).*
+
+## What is actually solid (don't re-litigate)
+
+Procedural + real towns · enterable interiors · citizens with identity · gigs · weather/tram ·
+the dig with real/mint/parody stock · the tier ladder + offline law · the two-studio pipeline ·
+the QA culture. The platform is genuinely done-ish. Everything below stands ON it.
+
+## THE BIG ONE — it isn't a game yet
+
+You walk, you dig, you buy. Then you close the tab and it never happened. The whole loop that
+makes digging MEAN something is unbuilt:
+
+1. **Persistence.** No saves. The wallet resets, the collection vanishes, "gone this session"
+   is the only memory. (localStorage fits the seeded-everything law trivially — the world
+   regenerates from seed; only the DELTA needs saving: cash, owned items, day. This is days of
+   work, not an epoch, and it unlocks everything below.)
+2. **The collection.** You buy records and they go... nowhere. No crate at home, no album/
+   shelf UI, no "look what I found in Katoomba." The collection IS the trophy case of the
+   whole game and it does not exist.
+3. **The thrill loop.** thriftgod's `mint()` gem bands exist as DATA (price bands, gems,
+   CBD-distance curation) and drive NOTHING. No underpriced gem in a dusty crate, no "is this
+   worth more than they're asking", no sell/flip loop, no wantlist hunting across towns. The
+   entire reason op-shopping is exciting in real life is un-simulated.
+4. **Why today matters.** No day structure — no opening hours pressure (hours exist! nothing
+   makes you race them), no end-of-day, no "the gig starts at 9, the shops shut at 5, choose."
+   The clock is scenery.
+5. **The player.** No hands, no home, no inventory UI beyond a number, no character. Who are
+   you in this town?
+6. **Onboarding.** A stranger at digalot.fyi/procity gets pointer-lock and silence. The first
+   five minutes are unfigured entirely.
+
+## Chartered but unbuilt (in flight or waiting)
+
+- **v6 LIVING STREET** — spikes gated on footage; then clips-at-scale, personas, footpaths +
+  occasional cars, generated bodies.
+- **Option B** — real reservation holds (John's hold budget).
+- **Tier-2 auto-discovery** — needs a reachability contract.
+- **The editor/override layer** (V2_IDEAS, still the best long-game idea: hand-author any shop
+  interior over the procedural base).
+- **Multiplayer presence** (see who's digging the same town).
+
+## Unowned design questions (nobody has even sketched these)
+
+- **What is a session?** 20 minutes? A day-cycle? A town per sitting?
+- **The economy loop:** buy low → ??? → profit. Sell where? To whom? GodBay (thriftgod's
+  auction sim) is sitting right there as the obvious answer and no design connects them.
+- **Cross-town play:** 23 towns exist; nothing makes you travel. Regional wantlists? A gem
+  rumor system? The tram/train BETWEEN towns?
+- **The gig layer as gameplay:** you can attend a gig; you can't book one, play one, or care
+  about one. 90sDJsim overlap sits unexplored (DJ the venue?).
+- **Music identity:** procedural beds exist; a game this specific deserves a sound.
+- **The 90s-ness:** it's in the fabric (video shops, milk bars) but no system USES the era —

+
+## THE THIRD DIMENSION + TEXTURE LIFE (filed 2026-07-18 — John's Perlin question, answered from the code)
+
+**The ruling that frames this section:** world *structure* stays on the semantic hash-stream
+system (`prng.js` — `seedFor(citySeed, kind, id)`, independently-keyed streams per entity).
+That architecture is why 31 rounds of features never moved a golden: a draw added to one
+stream shifts no other. Perlin answers a different question — a *continuous* value over
+space/time — and it enters the toolbox only where the question really is continuous. When it
+does, it seeds from the same citySeed keying: deterministic, gate-able, no exceptions.
+
+Candidates, ranked by honest cost:
+
+1. **TERRAIN / ELEVATION — the headline, epoch-scale, chartered as a v8+ candidate.**
+   Everything is flat, which is *wrong for the real map*: Katoomba is a mountain town rendered
+   as a billiard table. Per the real-map DNA, the primary source is REAL elevation (SRTM /
+   contour data for each town bbox, the same discipline as the roads fetch) — noise is only
+   the infill between samples, never the shape of a real hill. **The cost is named now so
+   nobody charters it lightly:** terrain touches everything — roads follow grades, buildings
+   need foundations and steps, footpaths slope, the chunk streamer and the walkers and every
+   budget meet a Y axis, and the classic covenant needs a flat-forever fence. This is an
+   epoch with an alpha/beta/close arc of its own, not a round.
+2. **Sky / cloud domes — cheap, near-term (v6/v7 polish).** Skies are baked textures today; a
+   seeded FBM dome gives every day its own weather-shaped sky, composes with the existing
+   weather states, and is one lane's item (B, lighting).
+3. **Wear & grime — cheap, high-charm (E/C canvas painters).** Seeded value-noise for sleeve
+   ring-wear, facade sun-fade, footpath staining — per-item, deterministic, and exactly the
+   90s patina the parody sleeves deserve. Pairs with the beta's price-guide work (a worn
+   sleeve *reading* worn next to its condition grade).
+4. **Crowd ebb (LIVING STREET track, D).** A slow 1D noise curve modulating street density
+   across the day — mornings trickle, arvo swells — richer than uniform draws, one stream,
+   identity-safe.
+
+5. **THE VERNACULAR KIT (filed 2026-07-18, John's idea, source corrected) — buildings that
+   feel real.** The town's massing is same-y boxes; the fix is **15–20 parametric Aussie
+   vernacular archetypes** (Queenslander, Federation cottage, terrace row, weatherboard
+   shopfront + verandah, deco corner pub, brick milk bar, fibro shack, tin warehouse…) with
+   seeded knobs — width, storeys, verandah depth, roof pitch, parapet, tint, and the wear
+   noise from item #3 above. **Source ruling: NOT Google Maps 3D** (licence-fatal — the one
+   thing the provenance spine must never touch — and photogrammetry mush at house scale
+   anyway). Instead: (a) **OSM/Overture building footprints + heights** for the real towns —
+   ODbL, the licence and pipeline we already ship, one more fetch class under the standing
+   authorization; (b) the kit designed from Street View *reference* (looking is not
+   extracting) and built parametrically on B's existing instanced-attribute machinery, which
+   already varies tint/hours per instance. Real footprints place real shapes on real streets;
+   the kit + knobs cover everything unfootprinted. Pairs with terrain as the two halves of a
+   future "the streetscape gets real" epoch — but unlike terrain, the kit is INCREMENTAL
+   (archetype by archetype, budget-measured, classic fenced), so it could also drip in as
+   B/E polish rounds. Goldens untouched either way (plan hashes don't see meshes); budgets
+   re-measured per archetype.
+
+## The honest sequencing opinion (Fable's, not a ruling)
+
+The private-test deploy is the design instrument: John walks the game cold and writes down
+every "why can't I..." — that list IS the v7 charter input. My candidate for v7 once v6's
+spikes land: **THE GAME (persistence + collection + the thrill loop + a day that matters)** —
+it's the smallest set that turns the platform into something a stranger plays twice.

 5. **Settled non-risks:** the dig/wallet/stockAdapter machinery (shipped v2, soaked 16 rounds);
    static-atlas determinism (E's byte-identical pipeline discipline); the fail-soft ladder
    (proven pattern from `?noassets` day one).
+
+### Retired-or-carried at the v5.0 close (ROUND27 ledger #6 — Lane A, line by line)
+
+Verdicts against what shipped, not against the plan. Written in **wave 2**, so tier-2 items that F's reader
+and kill-the-server gate will decide are **carried, not pre-retired** — the gate retires them, not this doc.
+
+1. **CARRIED — and it is this round's defining gate, not a footnote.** The only risk here the epoch has not
+   yet measured. The reader (#2) and the kill-the-server gate (#3) don't exist as I write this; **nothing
+   retires this line except that gate going green** — boot server-up (live fields consumed), kill mid-session
+   (degrade to tier 1, zero console errors, frame-time measured across the failure), boot server-down (pure
+   tier 1). Until then the charter's offline law is a promise, and the whole point of #3 is that a promise
+   isn't a gate. *(If tier 2 proves bigger than one round, F holds and this line simply carries — four holds
+   have proven nobody forces an epoch close.)*
+2. **RETIRED — the remedy the risk named is the remedy that shipped.** It predicted "pagination/crate
+   rotation rather than bigger atlases", and that is exactly what happened: the mecca case is served by the
+   **crate-rotation menu**, not by growing the sheet. Measured across all **15 keyed atlases**: max **2
+   atlases/shop** against C's hard cap of 2; the 14 mint shops sit at **16 items / 1 atlas / 1024²** and only
+   the one real POS shop earns 2048² (**120 items, 2 atlases, 1.2 MB**) under C §7.2's 60+ item rule. E's
+   validator enforces the ceilings from the committed files alone. Total: 344 items.
+3. **RETIRED — the risk was designed out, not solved.** It assumed a **fuzzy-matching** problem ("names
+   drift, shops move") and demanded mismatches be counted. There is no matcher: identity is an **explicit
+   opaque key** (`godverseShopId`) that G emits, so there is nothing to mis-match. The predicted failure
+   couldn't occur in the predicted form — and the case that would have broken any name-matcher proves it:
+   **Monster Robot Party is in neither the census nor OSM**, so no matching strategy could ever have found
+   it; it is keyed by injection. Mis-stocking is fenced structurally instead: duplicate ids **error**,
+   uniqueness runs over defined ids, and the **orphaned-atlas gate** fails if a stocked shop isn't seated.
+4. **SPLIT — the write half RETIRED by ruling, the read half CARRIED to F's #4.** *Write-back:* retired, and
+   retired properly — John's **A-then-B** ruling is recorded as **mechanism, not config**: `/reserve` and
+   `/buy` are **ABSENT, not stubbed**. Race conditions and reservation semantics cannot occur because the
+   verbs do not exist; "prove the absence" is a stronger guarantee than any sandbox flag, since a sandbox a
+   config typo can flip isn't a sandbox. *(Option B's reservation upgrade is chartered as v5.x, behind a
+   hold budget — it re-opens this line deliberately, when it is built.)* *Read (`gone`, real→game):* carried
+   — F's #4 asserts both directions this round.
+5. **Unchanged, and extended by what the epoch settled:** static-atlas determinism proved in practice
+   (byte-identical re-bakes, including G's index-only sku re-emit that moved no `.webp` bytes); the
+   fail-soft ladder proved on every rung; and the **id-space fences** (`sku_`/`mint_`, plan-id vs
+   godverse-id) now have case law behind them rather than good intentions.
+6. **NEW, CARRIED — the orphaned atlas.** The lift legitimately drops shops (overlap-resolve, counted since
+   R19); dropping one that carries a **committed atlas** means real stock keyed to a shop that isn't in the
+   town. Gated in `selfcheck` since R25 and **currently green** — and the gate armed itself this round
+   without anyone touching it: it SKIPped on `newtown_godverse` while no atlas keyed there, and **began
+   binding the moment G's mint atlases landed**. Live near-miss on the books: `redhill_godverse`'s lift drops
+   keyed shop **2286 "Empire Revival"**; G stocked its numeric neighbour **2287** instead. Carried because
+   the hazard grows with every shop stocked — **stocking 2286 would orphan it today.**
+7. **NEW, CARRIED — "real" is one shop wide.** 14 of 15 keyed atlases are **mint**; exactly one is a POS
+   snapshot, because exactly one shop has a POS. That is honest and marked (`sourcing`), not a defect — but
+   the epoch's headline claim rests on **one** shop, and any future claim of scale needs either more POS
+   shops (v5.x: "if monsterrobot ever gets siblings") or continued care that `sourcing` stays legible to
+   humans, not just gates.

+# PROCITY v6 — THE LIVING STREET (epoch charter — DRAFT for John)
+
+*Fable (m3), 2026-07-17. John's idea, from a browser walk down the strip: the crowd is
+believable but narrow — one walk, one idle, one sit, everyone jaywalks, nobody owns the street.
+Status: DRAFT — v5.0 (THE LIVE CRATE) is still closing; this charters the v6 conversation the
+retro was already going to open. Applies to PROCITY first and 90sDJsim by depot (the Lane-G
+two-studio pattern, proven).*
+
+## The vision
+
+The street stops being 24 clones who walk anywhere and becomes a town of *people*: personas
+with their own gaits, errands and manners; footpaths used like footpaths; the odd car easing
+down the main street; a busker outside the record shop doing a move John actually performed in
+his actual shop. **Every asset generated, rigged, animated and shipped on our own machines —
+zero cloud, zero subscriptions, everything owned.**
+
+## The stack (measured today, not aspirational)
+
+| piece | state | what it gives us |
+|---|---|---|
+| **mixamo-fetch** (tailnet source box) | **34 clips cached, only 3 wired** (walk/idle/sit) | the free stash, already in hand — lean, look-around, phone, talk, carry… |
+| **MOCAPGOD** (ultra) | Lanes 0/A/B **DONE**: phone video → HSMR/SKEL → BVH, MPS-verified, ~1.6× realtime, mixamorig name-map shipped | film John → skeleton motion. Lanes C (retarget) + D (clip factory) remain |
+| **MIRPAMO** (both Macs) | repo live: **a local offline Mixamo** — autorig (landmark → mixamorig fit → bone-heat weights) + retarget → `character@clip.glb` | new rigged BODIES from any mesh + clip retargeting, no Adobe |
+| **MODELBEAST** (m3ultra :8777) | flux_local (Apache, free) · **hunyuan3d_mlx local** · trellis_mac · sf3d · mflux_image_edit · seedvr2 | concept art → 3D meshes → texture/outfit variants, $0 |
+| **3GOD depot** | live, no-Draco law, two-studio consumption proven (Lane G) | one publish, every game (PROCITY · 90sDJsim · festifun) consumes |
+| **PROCITY runtime** | ped fleet (19 rigged, `_canon` mixamorig), sit.glb clip pattern proven (R16), persona hooks half-exist (loiter/dance/bench/patronage) | the body the assets walk into |
+| **A's street exports** | `roadWidth/vergeBand/poleOffset` per edge — **shipped R15, barely consumed** | the footpath law is one D constraint away, not a new system |
+
+**MOCAPGOD Lane C and MIRPAMO's retarget are the same machinery** — an integration decision
+for Fable-ultra before either builds it twice.
+
+## THE SPIKES (do these FIRST — cheap, each kills the biggest unknown in one thread)
+
+The pipeline test John asked for, as three end-to-end spikes. No epoch work until these run.
+
+1. **SPIKE 1 — the free stash (motion, zero generation).** ~~Wire 2 of the 34 cached clips
+   (`lean`, `look-around`)~~ **AMENDED R28: `lean` does not exist in the stash** — E measured
+   the 34 instead of trusting the wishlist (the brief's premise was half wrong). `look.glb` is
+   shipped + depot-verified (R28); D's wiring closes in R29 wave 0. The lean moves to Spike
+   2's shot list — John films a wall-lean. *Proves:* the clip bank expands cheaply, and
+   wishlists are not inventories. Risk: ~zero (confirmed).
+2. **SPIKE 2 — the full mocap loop (the one that matters).** John films ONE move on a phone —
+   **the crate-riffle, at Monster Robot** (the exact clip D's notes flagged "bespoke, won't be
+   on Mixamo" two epochs ago) → MOCAPGOD ingest → BVH → retarget (MOCAPGOD-C or MIRPAMO —
+   the integration call) → clip GLB → depot → **a ped riffles a crate on Musgrave Road,
+   in-game**. *Proves:* film-yourself-to-NPC works end to end. Needs: MOCAPGOD Lane C/D
+   sessions on ultra + John's test vids in the queue (it's empty — that's the ask).
+3. **SPIKE 3 — a generated body (the stretch).** flux_local concept ("older shopper with
+   trolley, 90s AU high street") → hunyuan3d_mlx mesh → **MIRPAMO autorig** → walk retarget →
+   in-game past the no-giants gate. *Proves (or honestly fails):* autorig quality on generated
+   meshes — the least-proven link, which is exactly why it's a spike and not a plan line.
+
+## The epoch tracks (after v5.0 tags + the retro + the spikes report)
+
+1. **CLIPS** — wire the 34; fetch more free categories; the MOCAPGOD bespoke set (riffle,
+   till-operation, busker strum, lean-on-wall, trolley-push, phone-check). Licence rail: the
+   HSMR/SKEL NC-risk (MOCAPGOD Decision 1) means mocap-derived clips stay **in-house** until
+   reviewed — same discipline as the item photos, same flag line.
+2. **PERSONAS (D)** — a seeded archetype layer per citizen: {body variant, clip set, speed
+   band, loiter/dance/bench biases, errand routes (pick a shop, walk there, dwell, move on —
+   patronage formalized into visible purpose)}. The persona is DATA riding the existing sim;
+   determinism per citizen id; identity signatures unchanged.
+3. **STREET DISCIPLINE (D + B + A)** — the footpath law: peds walk the `vergeBand`, cross at
+   nodes (zebra-preferred on real roads — B's crossings already render); **occasional cars**:
+   seeded parked cars (instanced, furniture pattern) + 1–3 movers on the mains (the tram
+   pattern: deterministic path-followers, ~2 draws each, stated budgets). v0 non-interacting:
+   cars don't yield, peds don't jaywalk — both true by construction because each stays in its
+   band.
+4. **BODIES (E + MIRPAMO)** — outfit/texture variety on the existing fleet first (
+   mflux_image_edit reskins — free variety, zero rig risk), MIRPAMO-autorigged newcomers
+   second, per Spike 3's verdict.
+
+## Laws (inherited + this epoch's)
+
+Everything behind **`?streetlife=1`** (cars possibly split as `?traffic=1` — F's call at
+wiring), default-OFF until soaked, `?classic=1` byte-identical as ever · budgets stated per
+system (cars and new rigs are draw/tri line items) · determinism from citySeed + citizen id ·
+asset law (every new clip/body rides the manifest + depot + `?noassets` fail-soft) · licence
+law (LICENSES.md per clip source: Mixamo royalty-free / MOCAPGOD in-house-NC-flagged /
+generated CC0-equiv) · vacuous-gate law (a persona gate proves a persona DID something, not
+that one exists) · measurement over brief.
+
+## Sequencing (the honest order)
+
+1. **Now:** v5.0 closes per ROUND27 — nothing here touches it.
+2. **In parallel, zero collision (different repos):** MOCAPGOD Lanes C/D run on ultra ·
+   John drops 2–3 test vids in the MOCAPGOD queue · a MIRPAMO autorig smoke on one
+   hunyuan3d_mlx mesh.
+3. **After the v5 retro:** the spikes run as v6 wave 1; this charter ratifies (or amends)
+   on their results; the tracks become rounds.
+
+## John — the asks that unblock the spikes
+
+1. **Film the test vids** (Spike 2 blocks on an empty MOCAPGOD queue): the capture protocol
+   is `docs/CAPTURE.md` in MOCAPGOD — the crate-riffle plus any two more moves you fancy.
+2. **The MOCAPGOD C-vs-MIRPAMO integration call** is Fable-ultra's to make — nudge that
+   session when you're next on the M1.
+3. Nothing else — the free stash (Spike 1) needs no new material at all.

+# PROCITY v7 — THE GAME (epoch charter — **RATIFIED by John, 2026-07-17**)
+
+*(Ratified as drafted; the fantasy stands. R30 opens the epoch — v7.0-alpha wave 1.)*
+
+*Fable (m3), 2026-07-17. From THE_FRONTIER's headline gap: the world is built, the game isn't.
+v7 is the smallest set of systems that makes a stranger play twice. Design principle: every
+system below rides machinery that ALREADY EXISTS — nothing here invents a new world layer.*
+
+## The fantasy, one line
+
+**You're a crate-digger in 90s Australia: build the collection, learn the prices, work the
+towns — and be home in time for the gig.**
+
+## The loop
+
+Wake (save point) → plan the day (shops shut per their real hours; the gig starts at night —
+the clock finally matters) → dig shops, spot the gems (priced below the guide), spend scarce
+cash → sell the flips (keeper today; the auction tomorrow) → sleep = save, the day advances,
+stock rotates → the collection grows → the wantlist points at another town → travel costs a
+day. Repeat, richer and one gem wiser.
+
+## The systems (each with its existing foundation)
+
+1. **PERSISTENCE — the foundation stone.** Save = THE DELTA ONLY: cash, owned items, town, day
+   number, wantlist, stats. The world is never saved — it regenerates from seed (the
+   seeded-everything law finally pays its biggest dividend: saves are tiny and can't corrupt
+   the world). localStorage, schema-versioned, JSON export/import for moving machines.
+   *Foundation: item identity is already stable — parody items are seeded, real/mint carry
+   skus (the R25/R26 sku fences were built for exactly this, before we knew it).*
+2. **THE COLLECTION.** Your crate, as a UI: cover, title, artist, price paid, where and what
+   day you found it. The trophy case of the whole game. (A walkable home-room shelf is v7.x —
+   UI first.) *Foundation: the atlas indexes already carry every field the card needs.*
+3. **THE GUIDE + THE GEM (the thrill loop).** An in-game price guide — thriftgod's BIBLE
+   concept — gives a VALUE BAND per item (imperfect, like the real 90s guide books). Shops
+   price with seeded variance around it → a **gem** is an item priced under its band. Skill =
+   spotting them. *Foundation: mint() gem/price bands exist as data and drive nothing; real
+   items have real dealgod prices; the dig card already shows asking price.*
+4. **SELLING — where cash comes back.** v7.0-alpha: sell to a keeper at the counter (below
+   guide, always — the no-money-pump law). v7.0: **GodBay** — list an item, a SEEDED offline
+   auction resolves NEXT DAY (the come-back-tomorrow hook; thriftgod's auction brain, G's
+   lane, offline tier first per the proven tier-ladder pattern — a live tier is v7.x and
+   rides the G3 rails).
+5. **THE DAY.** Sleep advances the day; **stock rotates per (shop, day)** — seeded, so day 3
+   in Bendigo is the same for every player on that seed (parody/mint rotate; the real shop's
+   real stock stays real); gigs already run a 7-night week — `day % 7` plugs straight in;
+   hours already exist — now closing time costs you something. *Foundation: the segment spine,
+   `isOpen`, and `plan.gigs` are all sitting there waiting.*
+6. **THE WANTLIST + TRAVEL.** Mark items/artists you're hunting; seeded rumors surface hints
+   ("saw one in Castlemaine" — a keeper line, a gig-crowd mutter: D's citizens finally gossip
+   for a reason); **travel costs a day** → 23 towns become a strategy map instead of a
+   dropdown. *Foundation: the selector, the pack, the personas.*
+7. **THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES.** You arrive with $50 and a want. Three toast-beats: dig, buy,
+   sell. A real splash. *(Smallest system, biggest stranger-facing payoff.)*
+
+## The stages
+
+- **v7.0-alpha — THE SAVE AND THE CRATE:** persistence + collection UI + sell-to-keeper +
+  sleep/day cycle + stock rotation. ONE town plays as a complete (small) game.
+- **v7.0-beta — THE THRILL:** the guide bands + gem variance + wantlist + rumors + travel
+  costs a day. The 23 towns become the map.
+- **v7.0 — THE AUCTION:** GodBay offline tier, onboarding, the tour ("day one to first gem"
+  as the money shot), docs freeze, tag.
+
+## The laws (new ones this epoch earns)
+
+1. **The delta law:** a save NEVER contains world state — only player deltas. A corrupted
+   save can cost you your stuff, never the town.
+2. **The no-pump law:** every sell price < the buy-side guide band, structurally. The economy
+   gets a GATE (an agent plays N seeded days and asserts net-worth growth is bounded by finds,
+   not arbitrage loops).
+3. **Game money is game money:** the write-back law extends — no bridge to real money, ever,
+   in either direction.
+4. **Classic stays pure:** `?classic=1` boots the v2 town with NO game layer (no save, no
+   HUD additions) — the covenant is untouched. The game layer defaults ON for normal boots
+   (the v3.1 flip precedent) with `?game=0` as the opt-out.
+5. **Rotation is seeded:** stock rotation draws from (citySeed, shopId, day) — deterministic,
+   gate-checkable, same for everyone on a seed.
+
+## Lane map (first cut)
+
+**F** the save core + gates (delta law, no-pump gate, save/load determinism) · **B** the UI
+surfaces (collection, wantlist, day clock, splash — hud.js territory) · **C** the counter
+sell interaction + dig-card guide hints (+ the home room, v7.x) · **A** the day/rotation
+seeding contracts (new sub-streams, goldens untouched — rotation rides runtime, not plan
+gen... A verifies that boundary) · **E** guide-band data baked into packs/atlases (mint
+bands, real prices) · **D** rumor lines through keepers/citizens · **G** GodBay (the auction
+brain, offline seeded tier) + real guide prices from dealgod.
+
+## Risks (named now, v4-style)
+
+1. **Economy balance** — pumps, dumps, degenerate flips. The no-pump gate is the fence; a
+   playtest-bot (an agent that greedily arbitrages for N days) is the adversarial verifier.
+2. **Save schema drift** — versioned from day one, migration-or-reject, never silent.
+3. **Item identity across re-emits** — a re-baked atlas must not orphan owned items (the sku
+   IS the identity; E's validator grows an owned-item stability check).
+4. **Scope gravity** — the game wants everything (housing! romance! a phone!). The stage
+   gates are the fence: alpha ships ONE town playing well before beta touches 23.
+5. **v6 collision — none by design:** v7-alpha is systems/UI (F/B/C-heavy); v6's spikes are
+   clips/ultra (E/D/G-heavy). They interleave; Fable sequences the rounds.
+
+## Sequencing
+
+v7.0-alpha can start **now** — it's unblocked (v6 waits on footage; the two don't collide).
+Recommended: R30 = v7.0-alpha wave 1 (F save core + B collection UI + C sell counter contracts
+first). John ratifies this charter (or amends the fantasy — it's your shop, your era, your
+game) and says go.

+# THE TOUR — day one to first gem (v7.0's money-shot sequence, R36)
+
+Seed 20261990 (Boolarra Heads), one real playthrough driven end to end, no staging:
+
+1. **01_you_arrive_hunting** — the splash names the mission: hunting HILLS HOIST, $191 in your pocket.
+2. **02_the_strip** — the cluster-pose spawn: midday on the main street, shopfronts down the block.
+3. **03_every_door_opens** — inside Curio & Wax; the keeper's rumor overhead.
+4. **04_the_gem** — THE VERANDAHS "Tinny", asking **$19** against **★ RARE guide $60+**. The
+   skill of the whole game in one card. (Beat ③ visible below — the onboarding walking its talk.)
+5. **05_the_crate** — the find banked, ⚖ a click away.
+6. **06_the_morning_paper** — dawn, day 2: **"⚖ SOLD 'Tinny' — hammer $89, $78 after fees."**
+   Bought for $19, hammered for $89. That's the loop.
+
+Regenerate: the scratch driver lives in the R36 session; it reuses tools/flags_check.py helpers
+against any port via PROCITY_QA_PORT.

+"""Lane G — GODVERSE tier-2: the two READ endpoints (R27 ledger #1).
+
+The charter's last rung, under John's ratified A-then-B ruling (G3 §7): **read-live,
+sell-sandboxed**. The server ENRICHES, NEVER GATES — every boot path, gate and tag works with
+this process dead. Nothing here can write to the shop.
+
+    python3 pipeline/godverse_server.py setup-role     # the read-only grant (idempotent)
+    python3 pipeline/godverse_server.py start|stop|status   # lifecycle — F's kill-the-server gate
+    python3 pipeline/godverse_server.py serve          # foreground
+    python3 pipeline/godverse_server.py make-fixture --sold 3   # a controlled POS for F's gate
+
+THE SURFACE (G3 §4, as built):
+    GET /godverse/v1/health                        -> { ok, shops }        (is the server up)
+    GET /godverse/v1/shop/<godverse_id>/stock      -> live crate metadata + `gone` + etag
+    GET /godverse/v1/shop/<godverse_id>/crates     -> the real crate menu (rotation)
+    GET anything else                              -> 404 (with the ruling in the body)
+    POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE anything                 -> **501**, measured — see below
+
+**`/reserve` and `/buy` are ABSENT, not stubbed** — no route, no handler, no flag. A sandbox a
+config typo can flip isn't a sandbox (G3 §7).
+
+**→ Lane F, assert 501 and not 404 for the write verbs.** This class defines `do_GET` and nothing
+else, so the stdlib answers any other method with 501 "Unsupported method" before routing exists
+at all. That is a *stronger* absence proof than a 404: a 404 would mean a handler ran and chose to
+decline, whereas 501 means **there is no write handler in the process**. Adding `do_POST` just to
+answer 404 would be implementing the very thing the ruling forbids. (My own docstring claimed 404
+until I measured it — the same doc-vs-code species this epoch keeps catching, caught here by
+running it.)
+
+THREE FENCES, each enforced by the machine and not by a code review:
+ 1. **The credential.** We connect as `godverse_ro`: SELECT on inventory/crate/disc_cache and
+    NOTHING else. Measured — `UPDATE inventory` => "permission denied"; `SELECT FROM customer`
+    => "permission denied". That one grant carries the sandbox AND G3 §9's PII fence.
+ 2. **Metadata only.** The API serves facts, never pixels. Covers stay static tier-1 files. A
+    tier-2 shop with a dead server is VISUALLY IDENTICAL to tier 1 — that is the fail-soft.
+ 3. **The id-namespace fence** (R26 law). `gone[]` carries the atlas's own `id` form verbatim
+    (`sku_<POS sku>`), so the client does `gone.includes(item.id)` with ZERO transformation.
+    *G3 §4 as ratified said `gone:[sku]` — bare numbers. That wording predates R25's sku ids and
+    R26's fence, and a bare number crossing two id spaces is the exact bug the fence law exists
+    to stop. The design doc was the stale thing; §4 is updated as-built.*
+
+TIER 2 IS FOR REAL SHOPS ONLY. A `sourcing: "mint"` shop has no POS to be live about, so its
+`/stock` is a 404 — not an empty crate. Monster Robot Party is the only real shop; that's the
+point: one shop, live, true.

+"""PROCITY v5.0 RELEASE TOUR — THE LIVE CRATE  (Lane F, R27 ledger #5)
+
+The crate walk, in the order you'd actually do it: Musgrave Road → Monster Robot Party's frontage (B's
+stocked-shopfront mark) → inside, riffling ITS OWN records → a mint shop, captioned honestly → the
+`?classic=1` control that still boots the exact v2 town.
+
+Posing: the street frames go through F's R21 cluster primitive (reused from tour_shots.py). Per-EDGE shop
+counts are ~1 on a real graph, so "the busiest edge" poses you at bare bitumen — the Fitzroy trap, twice
+learned. The interior frames pose themselves: the room builds you a metre inside its own door.
+
+Honesty rules baked in, not bolted on:
+  · the mint frame says MINT in its caption. A minted crate is plausible, not real, and a tour is exactly
+    where that distinction gets quietly lost.
+  · the real frame's caption carries the shop's actual name and address, because it IS one.
+  · nothing here boots ?live=1. A tour frame must be reproducible by anyone who clones this repo, and
+    tier 2 needs a POS none of them have. The live tier is proven by the gate, which owns its own server;
+    the tour shows tier 1, which is what ships in the box.

+// is an item ASKING under its band's low edge; spotting one is the player's skill, so nothing in
+// any UI ever says "gem".
+//
+// THE DERIVATION RULING (R32): band NUMBERS mirror Lane E's pipeline thresholds
+// (pipeline/build_stock_pack.py price_band(): record 8/25/60 · book 5/15/40 · toy 6/20/50 —
+// duplicated verbatim in godverse_stock.py, validated by validate_pack.py). We derive ranges in
+// JS from the band LABEL the packs already carry instead of re-baking band data into atlases —
+// so charter risk #3 (a re-emitted pack orphaning owned skus) never opens. If E's thresholds
+// move, this table moves with them in the same commit (the two files name each other).
+//
+// THE STRUCTURAL CONSEQUENCE (why the no-pump law survives the beta, LANE_C_PUB §9.1):
+// real/mint pack items derive `price_band` FROM `price`, so real asking always sits INSIDE its
+// band ⇒ bandLow ≤ asking ⇒ sellOffer(bandLow) ≤ bandLow − 1 < asking: every real round trip
+// stays strictly negative with the basis swapped. Only PARODY stock (proceduralSleeves) rolls a
+// seeded under-band gem — and per-day scarcity (the save's `pulls`) makes each gem profit ONCE.
+// Growth is bounded by finds, not arbitrage loops — charter law #2, made structural.
+//
+// Zero DOM, zero draws, zero fetch, zero storage: a pure table + pure functions. ?classic=1 /
+// ?dig=0 never import a caller, and importing this module alone has no effect at all.
+
+// kind → band → [low, high]; `high: null` = open-ended (the card renders "$60+").
