v5.0-alpha is NOT tagged. #7a is not a gate that failed, it's a gate that cannot be run:
G's 120 real records are in the tree and byte-identically re-bakeable, and nothing in the
game can reach them. R18's law — release rounds don't ship known breaches.
GREEN (everything except the crate): qa.sh --strict --matrix 7 passed / 0 failed / 0 warn ·
MATRIX GREEN 10 towns x 7 gates · selfcheck 152,015/152,015 (was 161,300, E retired
toowoomba) · flags harness green, so ?classic=1 still holds through the merge · tier 0
?noassets zero fetches + zero console errors (the offline law holds) · tier 1 (v2
town-wide) resolves. Tier 1 (v5, per-shop) is NEVER FETCHED.
FINDING 1 — the atlas contract contradicts itself. LANE_C_PUB:271 publishes
stock_shop_<id>_index.json; C's own loader (stockpack.js:25) fetches
${base}stock_${type}_index.json. Incompatible. G built runtime-compatible (which is why
C's base-override check passed); E built contract-compatible (which is why E's validator
can't see it). Nobody was wrong — the contract was. F recommends amending to G's shape:
it's the only one the runtime can load, and it costs G nothing.
FINDING 2 — the gate built to catch that was blind and green. validate_atlas.py globs a
filename that can't exist at runtime, finds nothing, and returns 0 ("No atlases yet =>
clean pass"), which validate_manifest.py:158 propagates. It conflates "no atlases exist"
with "no atlases matched my glob" — the first is a clean pass, the second is the exact
failure it was written to catch. Pointed at G's index by hand, deeper drift surfaced:
E's line 68 reads provenance top-level while E's own docstring says nested (where G put
it), licence vs license, and a ceiling stale by one round.
FINDING 3 — #7a would have passed vacuously. Walked into The Vintage Record (real shop,
real road) via DBG.enterShop: the crates filled with real covers — from E's 350-item
town-wide v2 pack, not the crate. Zero requests to stock_godverse/, ever. Eyeballed as
written, the gate goes green and proves nothing. Two vacuous gates in one round, same
species: both test the presence of a thing rather than the identity of it.
R24 — three gaps, none F-only: A+G land a godverse_id (verified live: every godverse shop
reports null; the schema has no such field) -> E builds redhill_real (one Overpass fetch,
E's file, outward-facing — not F's to invent) -> C keys the pack cache by type+base
(today a hit returns before base is read, so two stocked shops collide and fail-soft
breaks) -> F passes the per-shop base and re-gates. F deliberately did not build its half:
untestable with no street and no identity field. Filed, not guessed.
Also: A's spacing warn earned on day one — ballarat now warns at 255 m, so the thin tail
has a second member. The README v5 teaser is held with the tag; they're one claim.

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 — 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 v1–v3 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.
