PROCITY — Round 30 lane instructions (from Fable, integrator)

Date: 2026-07-17 · V7 THE GAME is RATIFIED (docs/V7_THE_GAME.md — read it first, it is the epoch's truth). Round 30 opens v7.0-alpha: THE SAVE AND THE CRATE — wave 1 of the smallest set that makes one town play as a complete small game. (Housekeeping: the phantom R30 that two lanes were spun up for never had a brief — that was Fable's miss, now fixed. If your session finds prior R30 work anywhere, it doesn't exist; this document is R30.)

The ledger (v7.0-alpha wave 1)

1. THE SAVE CORE (F — the foundation everything consumes; publish the contract FIRST).
   • web/js/world/save.js (F-owned): versioned localStorage save implementing the delta law — cash · owned items (each = {townKey, godverseShopId|shopId, sku|slotId, pricePaid, dayFound} — the sku IS the identity, per the R25/26 fences) · current town · day number · schema procity-save/1. Save on SLEEP (see #3) and on beforeunload; export/import as JSON (John moves machines).
   • The published contract (window.PROCITY.game): { day, cash, collection[], save(), load(), sleep(), export(), import(json) } — B builds UI on this, C reads it at the counter. Publish the shape in LANE_F_NOTES §30 in your FIRST commit, implementation after.
   • Laws wired from birth: ?classic=1 → NO save layer constructed, zero localStorage touches (the covenant stays a pure v2 boot); ?game=0 opt-out; a corrupted/foreign save → rejected loudly, fresh start, the town NEVER breaks (delta law: world state is not in the save, so it can't).
2. THE SELL COUNTER CONTRACT (C — publish first, implement second). Walk to a keeper's counter with items → a sell card (mirror of the buy card): item, offer price, SELL. Offer = below the buy-side band, structurally (the no-pump law — C picks the multiplier, documents it in LANE_C_PUB §9). v7.0-alpha sells at any shop of the item's type (record shop buys records); the fancy stuff (per-keeper taste, haggling) is beta+. C consumes PROCITY.game.collection read-only; the debit/credit goes through the wallet exactly like buying (the proven seam).
3. SLEEP = SAVE = TOMORROW (F + B). v7.0-alpha's day-advance: the HUD gains a SLEEP action (B's surface; enabled any time for the alpha — home-base gating is beta) → game.sleep(): save, day+1, stock rotation (the parody/mint pick streams re-seed as rng(citySeed, shopId, 'stock', day) — F threads day into the existing stock seeding; REAL stock never rotates, it's real), gig night = day % 7 (plugs into the existing week schedule), wake at dawn (segment 0).
4. THE COLLECTION UI (B — after F's contract lands). A collection panel in hud.js (your selector/HUD patterns): cover thumb, title/artist, price paid, where + day found; count in the standing HUD; the SLEEP button + day/cash readout. Money-shot-grade is beta; readable and correct is alpha.
5. THE GATES (F, last).
   • Save/load determinism: play a scripted session (buy 2, sell 1, sleep 2×) → export → fresh boot → import → assert byte-equal game state AND the world untouched (fingerprint unchanged — the delta law's falsifiable form).
   • The no-pump gate v0: script buy-then-immediately-sell N times → assert monotonic cash LOSS (the spread is the house's). The full adversarial playtest-bot is beta.
   • Classic purity: ?classic=1 → zero localStorage reads/writes (measure, don't trust), no HUD additions, fingerprint frozen.
   • Rotation determinism: same seed, same day → byte-identical shop stock; day N ≠ day N+1 (actually different, not just asserted different).
   • qa.sh --strict --matrix green throughout. No tag — the alpha tags when it plays (likely R31, after the loop closes end-to-end).
6. A — the rotation boundary verify (small). F threads day into stock seeding — A verifies it rides RUNTIME streams only: plan generation never sees day, all goldens frozen, selfcheck proves it. One note, one line. D, E, G — rest (E's guide-band bake and G's GodBay open in beta; D's rumors likewise. If footage lands in the MOCAPGOD queue meanwhile, v6's Spike 2 takes priority for E/D — the epochs interleave, Fable sequences).

Laws

The charter's five (delta · no-pump · game-money · classic-pure · seeded-rotation) + everything inherited. No goldens move this round (rotation is runtime; A verifies the boundary). The vacuous-gate law applies to every new gate above — each names its subject and proves it touched it.

THE EXACT RUN ORDER

1. Start together: F (save core — contract in first commit) + C (sell contract first, implementation second).
2. When F's contract is published: B (collection UI + SLEEP surface). F continues (sleep/rotation threading) in parallel — disjoint files.
3. When F + B + C are in: F gates (#5), A verifies the boundary (#6).
4. Fable reviews; R31 charters the rest of the alpha (or its close, if it plays).

Waves: [F, C] → [B, F-cont] → [F-gate, A]. D/E/G rest unless footage arrives.

WAVE-1/2 REVIEW NOTES (Fable, mid-round — the agents' reports are the record)

RATIFIED — F's two amendments, both measured: (1) gig night = (day − 1) % 7 — the brief's literal day % 7 flips a fresh boot (day 1) off night 0 and breaks the R13 cover/band gates before the first sleep; the brief was wrong, the measurement wins. (2) sleep saves AFTER incrementing — disk always carries the morning you woke into.

ADJUDICATED — the cross-lane 6 lines (F edited C's interiors.js/layout.js for the stockDay salt): SANCTIONED, this instance — because all three conditions held: the owner reviewed and ratified on the record BEFORE the commit ("rides my own sub-stream discipline, absent ⇒ byte-identical"), the edit is marked and cited in the commit, and it is minimal. Without all three, a cross-lane edit gets reverted on sight. The law stands: write the ask, not the edit — C folds the seam into LANE_C_PUB at its next session; carried to the epoch retro as a process note.

WAVE-3 INPUTS (bind these into the gates session): the rotation gate must hash vertex data, not transforms (F measured its transform fingerprint vacuous over batched parody stock); C's money-pump negative control (an item minted into the collection without a successful debit must be impossible — assert recordFind only fires on wallet.buy truthy); the E-key sell routing (§9.4 dig → sell → shelf) is F's held item and lands in the wave-3 session BEFORE the gates run against it.

ROUND CLOSED (Fable, at the wave-3 review) — v7.0-alpha wave 1: COMPLETE, ALL GREEN

Ten commits, five lane-agent sessions, zero holds, zero cross-lane incidents beyond the one adjudicated. The loop is real and gated: dig → buy → the crate remembers → counter → E → sell (strictly at a loss) → sleep → tomorrow rotates the mint crates and never the real one → the save survives the reboot and the UI reads it. qa.sh --strict --matrix 7/0/0, MATRIX 10 towns, selfcheck 156,352, covenant frozen, the day provably cannot enter the world.

Fed to R31 (the alpha close — charter it after John PLAYS): the beta rulings queue (scarcity-per-day pull records · guide bands · per-keeper taste · foreign-town display names via E's index) · F's harness lesson #3 (the HUD hides in interiors by design) · the design fact that re-buying a rotated sleeve is a strict money loser (correct, filed). The alpha tags when it plays — John's hands on the real URL are the acceptance environment.

Standing

• John — nothing blocks this round. The deploy to digalot.fyi/procity still waits on your VPS-access pick (grant me the ssh rule / run the script yourself) — worth doing THIS round: testing the save loop in a real browser on the real URL is exactly the alpha's acceptance environment. And the MOCAPGOD queue still wants your footage whenever.
• The drive question stands: say "run it" and Fable spawns these lanes as subagents in the wave order above, reviews between waves, and reports once at the end.
