# 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

`qa.sh --strict --matrix`: 7 passed · 0 failed · 0 warn · 0 skipped, MATRIX 10 towns green
(final tree). Gate run: hunts HILLS HOIST with $191, beats walked through the real dig/buy/list
paths, returning-save and ?game=0 controls clean, second fresh browser hunts the same artist,
0 console errors. Money shot: `docs/shots/v7_beta/first_five_splash.png`.

**v7.0 remaining:** the tour ("day one to first gem") · docs freeze · the tag — and the tag
waits for John's playtest (the alpha precedent: hands before tags).
