E's 17 new towns + Lane G's newtown_godverse fed through the lift. ONE batched golden commit as briefed: REAL_TOWN_GOLDENS + REAL_TOWN_GIG_GOLDENS go 5 -> 23 towns each, zero unpinned. THE HEADLINE: everything built this epoch held at 23-town scale, FIRST TRY. 1,210 shops -> 1,133 seated (77 dropped, 6.4%, all counted by cause); 1 CONNECTED COMPONENT and 3 VENUES on every one of the 23 towns. fitzroy — 160 shops, 2x anything absorbed before — landed 139 seated, 1 component, 3 venues, 212 posters, all invariants green. The junction-protected DP, fragmentation ruling, cluster bias, poster cap and capacity fence needed NO new hardening: the pack needed absorbing, not fixing. - Graded cluster fallback (the one refinement). Three towns have no candidate at the floor at all (ballarat/toowoomba/newtown_godverse top out at 2 shops within 160m); R21's bias switched off entirely there, stranding venues at 0. It now falls back to the DENSEST AVAILABLE — ballarat 0,2,0 -> 2,2,2, godverse 0,1,1 -> 2,2,2, toowoomba 1,0,0 -> 1,2,1. Fires only where the floor is unreachable, so NO already-pinned town moved (verified). Acceptance at pack scale: 20 of 23 towns have every venue >=3; the three above sit at their town's genuine ceiling — the carved-out case, stated explicitly. - Drop outliers, counted not hidden: daylesford 19% (32 shops on a 171-road graph, the thinnest in the pack, all overflow), fitzroy 13%. RGAP is already 0.5m and NODE_CLEAR 3m; the only lever left is spilling overflow onto a DIFFERENT street, which buys a few percent by putting a shop on a road it isn't on. Same ruling as R20: drop and count beats teleport. - selfcheck ALL GREEN 161,300/161,300; scaffold + consistency GREEN; cross-process deterministic (pack-xor 0xca140954). classic 0x3fa36874 / gig 0xb1d48ea1 / marched fixtures FROZEN. Handshake -> C + D + F: the pack is in, 23 towns pinned, start your verifies. Tri diet (ledger #1): if B's layer-by-layer names plan geometry as the venue_night driver, I own the fix.

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.

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." A–E are parallel-safe (disjoint files, standalone test pages); F integrates after they land.

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 2–4 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-beta — the five towns, at density
Five real Australian towns (Katoomba, Newtown, Fremantle, Bendigo, Castlemaine — 292 shops) boot on
their actual OSM street graphs, at real retail density: secondhand heroes keep their footfall while the
street around them gets ~4× busier (texture, never a takeover). Venues bias toward the retail cluster, the
tram runs only where it fronts a real high street (Newtown/Castlemaine — elsewhere it was "a highway bus",
so it's fenced), and the in-HUD town selector reads the towns index, so you can just pick one. Every
town: deterministic, districted, silent under ?noassets, ?classic=1 still byte-identical to v2.
See docs/shots/v4_beta/ and the charter, docs/V4_REAL_MAP.md.

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.
