Ledger #2 (E's half), built to C's LANE_C_PUB §6 table under John's SUBTLE directive.
- Widened fetch: C's tasteful staple list (shop=* + amenity=cafe per C's dagger note), mapped through
C's copy-paste table onto EXISTING registry types (no new archetypes). Guardrails honoured: no
vehicle/fuel/funeral/storage/industrial, no pure services. New raw snapshot per town (the fetcher
auto-refetches when the class list changes -- query recorded in each snapshot), committed like the first.
- SUBTLE by construction: secondhand HEROES never subsampled; texture capped at 3x heroes (top of C's
~2-3x band), over-cap towns seed-subsampled deterministically (sha256(townKey:osmId)) with every drop
counted in counts.textureDropped. Result 3.0x in all five: katoomba 20+60 (-4), newtown 18+54 (-156),
fremantle 20+60 (-81), bendigo 9+27 (-81), castlemaine 6+18 (-43). Density 6-21 -> 24-80 shops (3-4x).
- web/assets/towns/index.json (new, E-owned): {schema, generated, license, attribution, towns[{key, town,
state, shops, roads}]} -- B's selector can drop the REAL_TOWNS hardcode (hud.js:11).
- Deterministic (byte-identical re-run, 0 re-fetch). ODbL: SOURCES.md + per-cache license/attribution.
-> Lane A (absorb pass): (1) 10 expected golden re-pins -- the widening moves every real town's base+gig
golden (designed E->A handoff); synthetic 0x3fa36874 UNMOVED, fixtures frozen. (2) SEAM: index.json
trips selfcheck's town glob (selfcheck.js:467 takes every top-level towns/*.json as a cache) -- one-line
fix in your file: .filter(f => f.endsWith('.json') && f !== 'index.json'). Didn't touch selfcheck.js
(yours, you're mid-round in it); Fable spec'd the index at this path so the path stays.
-> Lane C: kept video_games -> video (absent from your §6 table; was already shipping as video pre-widening,
so the fallback would have regressed it to opshop). Same family, same target -- flagging for your table.
