m3ultra 8ac3b18b36 Lane F R22 (v4.0 — THE EPOCH CLOSE): the re-measure, the selector, the release tour, the tag
The blocking gate is CLOSED, and the epoch closes green.

- #1b THE BLOCKING RE-MEASURE: F's R21 re-measure made the tri diet blocking; B diagnosed layer-by-layer,
  the driver traced A -> E (A's own commit: "B's numbers say the fix is E's"), E fixed it, F re-measured:
  katoomba venue_night 221,935 (+11%) -> 108,365 (-51%); bendigo 201k -> 124,682; fremantle -> 88,397.
  Worst 124,682 — the 200k stress edge is closed. The measure-first loop worked end to end.
- #3 DBG.enterShop(selector) (Lane G's ask): id · registry type · exact name · name substring, resolved
  most-specific-first so an id-shaped string can't be shadowed. One-liner QA on any of 23 towns.
- #4 The release tour -> docs/shots/release_v4/: the Fremantle hero · the Fitzroy mecca · the Toowoomba thin
  tail · the synthetic control · the ?classic=1 covenant. Every real-town frame poses through F's R21
  cluster primitive; B's R22 bookmarks anchor on the same retail heart, so tour and bookmarks agree by
  construction. HUD hidden throughout (F's R21 ruling corollary).
  The primitive earned itself twice: the first cut posed via street_noon and the MECCA CAME OUT AS BARE
  BITUMEN — the same trap as R21. Re-posed through the cluster, Fitzroy reads.
- HONEST FINDING (filed v4.x): the brief asked for the thin tail as "proof the floor holds". It does not,
  and the frame says so — Toowoomba reads as an empty road. The floor is a RATIO, not a count: 0.008
  shops/edge vs the heroes' 0.06-0.08. Shipped labelled honestly rather than swapped for a flattering town.
- #6 Docs: README v4 section (the towns ARE the product), LANE_F_NOTES §22, F-progress.

qa.sh --strict --matrix GREEN 7/7; MATRIX GREEN — 10 towns × 7 gates (the budget gate green everywhere for
the first time); selfcheck 161,300/161,300 (A's 36 goldens + the 23-town pack).

PROCITY

A standalone, procedurally generated, fully walkable 90s-Australian shopping town — every building enterable (the Vuntra City trick), every interior seeded and themed: record stores, op shops, toy shops, book barns, video rental, pawnbrokers, milk bars, market stalls. Built on the proven house stack (three.js r175 vendored, plain JS, no build step) and the asset DNA of 90sDJsim + thriftgod. v1 is the system; the GODVERSE/BaseGod real-item content plugs in later.

Run

cd web && python3 -m http.server 8130
# http://localhost:8130            (game shell — Lane B)
# http://localhost:8130/map.html   (2D plan debugger — Lane A)

The lanes (parallel Opus 4.8 sessions)

Each lane is a self-contained prompt. To run one, start an Opus session in this repo and say: "Read docs/LANES/LANE_X_….md and execute it." AE are parallel-safe (disjoint files, standalone test pages); F integrates after they land.

lane mission owns
A — CITYGEN seed → CityPlan data (streets, blocks, lots, shops) + 2D map js/citygen, js/core/registry.js, map.html
B — STREETSCAPE chunk-streamed instanced 3D town + game shell index.html, js/world
C — INTERIORS every door opens: seeded themed shop interiors js/interiors, interior_test.html
D — CITIZENS rigged-near / impostor-far NPCs + shopkeepers js/citizens, citizens_test.html, models/
E — ASSETS audit ultra's library, normalize GLBs, skins, manifest pipeline/, assets/
F — INTEGRATION wire AE into one seed-to-town game + QA gates (after AE)

  • web/assets/gen/ — 69 generated texture skins (25 shopfront facades, 10 skies, 10 grounds, 8 wallpapers, 16 interior surfaces) inherited from thriftgod + 90sDJsim, style-locked.

House laws (short form — CITY_SPEC has the fine print)

Seeded everything, Math.random banned in gen code · the game must run with zero assets · instancing from day one · canvas text, no font files · characters = shared base rigs + one clip bank, canonical sources live outside this repo · 🟢 web-ok licensing only.

v3.1 — THE FLIP: the town shows its best by default

The Friday-night layer soaked through alpha, beta, and the v3.0 release — so v3.1 flips it on by default, and the mature v2 flags flip with it. Boot the plain URL and each town seeds 24 venues (pub, band room, RSL) with a full seeded week of gigs, town-wide posters, and a Friday night that reads: a 4-piece band (trio + a seated drummer) with real instruments, a mixed crowd, an outdoor queue, a per-venue cover charge, muffled gig spill + walla and applause, town-wide streetlamp pools, and identity continuity — the ped you followed in is in the crowd. Plus weather, the tram, and the parallax interior-window shader, all live by default.

The covenant moved, it didn't disappear. ?classic=1 boots the exact v2 town — byte-identical forever (synthetic golden 0x3fa36874, zero gig layer, zero fetch delta). That is the new frozen regression target; the default boot is deterministic to the gig golden 0xb1d48ea1. Asset-free (?noassets=1) composes with the default boot and stays silent-and-fine.

Flags — the four headliners are ON by default, each with a =0 opt-out; ?classic=1 is the master off:

flag default what
?classic=1 off the exact v2 boot — all four below off, byte-identical to the frozen baseline
?gigs=0 on the gig district — venues, week schedule, band/crowd/queue, cover, posters, night pass
?weather=0 · ?tram=0 · ?winmap=0 on seeded weather · the tram loop · the parallax interior-window shader
?roster=v1 · ?pop=N stream chunk-streamed citizen density is the baseline; ?roster=v1 restores the fixed roster
?dig=0 · ?stock=real dig on crate-riffle on record bins · real GODVERSE sleeves in the stock
?noassets=1 · ?plansrc=osm · ?mute=1 · ?dbg=1 off asset-free (zero network) · OSM plan source · silence · the window.DBG capture/soak harness
?plansrc=osm&town=<key> boot a real Australian town: fixtures melbourne/katoomba/silverton, or a real OSM cache bendigo_real/castlemaine_real/fremantle_real/katoomba_real/newtown_real (ODbL, web/assets/towns/SOURCES.md). REAL ROADS: a cache with roads[] (schema v2) builds the CityPlan street graph from the town's actual OSM streets; without roads[] a cache marches onto synthetic avenues. Or just pick a town from the HUD selector — no URL needed

v4.0 — THE REAL MAP: the towns are the product

23 real Australian towns — 1,210 real shops, every state and territory — on their actual streets. Not "inspired by": Fitzroy's shops sit on Fitzroy's roads, at their real positions, because the pipeline eats OpenStreetMap and marches it through the same CityPlan contract the procedural town uses. Pick one from the in-HUD selector and walk it. Everything built across v1v3 comes along unchanged — the venues and their seeded week of gigs, the 4-piece band with the seated drummer, the crowd that follows you into the pub, the interiors behind every door, weather, the tram — because they all hang off the plan contract and never had to know the geography got real.

The towns run from meccas (Fitzroy, 160 shops) to the thin tail (12), at real retail density: the secondhand heroes keep their footfall while the street around them gets ~4× busier — texture, never a takeover. Venues bias to the retail heart. The tram only runs where it fronts a real high street (elsewhere it was honestly "a highway bus", so it's fenced). Everything stays deterministic from the seed, silent under ?noassets=1, and ?classic=1 still boots the exact v2 town, byte-identical forever (0x3fa36874).

The tour: docs/shots/release_v4/contact.html — the Fremantle hero, the Fitzroy mecca, the thin tail (labelled honestly: the floor is shops-per-street-metre, and Toowoomba is below it), the synthetic control, and the ?classic=1 covenant made visible. Charter: docs/V4_REAL_MAP.md · data + licences (ODbL): web/assets/towns/SOURCES.md. | ?seed=N | 20261990 | town seed |

Release tour: docs/shots/release_v3_1/contact.html — the money shots on the default boot, plus a ?classic=1 before/after. QA: tools/qa.sh --strict (classic regression + default-boot gate + smokes + no-giants) --soak (the full-week soak); the seated drummer passes the no-giants gate at the seated stature band [0.9,1.5] m.
