THE ?r=3 BREACH — the carried number was stale by 84 draws. Re-measured with the pin
method of record (stepwalk 2m, 802 stations, fresh headless contexts, no-store server):
default 282/291 (≤300, 9 margin at night) · classic 269 byte-exact to the R38 pin incl.
90,580 tris · ?r=3 382/391, NOT 307. Decision: GATE, not shave — the 91-draw excess is
the R+1 live-chunk window (48 vs 31 chunks) on a per-chunk cost already collapsed to
~1 draw/kind/chunk, so shaving it means cutting default-boot content to legalise a
diagnostic. ?r= above auto now declares PROCITY.budget {draws:420, diagnostic:true} and
console-warns its own law; HUD threshold + DBG.info().budget read it; new
tools/qa/r40_lane_b.py enforces it (386 ≤ 420, and >300 so the exemption is provably
load-bearing).
?classic=1 TOWN SELECTOR (Fable ruled): true by construction, now deliberate and
qa-asserted — 27 options, one fetch (the named POST_V2_EXCEPTION), picks stay classic,
zero draws, 0 errors.
FOG SIGNAGE: three silent surfaces consume A's address layer via new
createStreetLocator(plan) — HUD street row, door tooltip ('Little Paris Cafe ·
Katoomba Street'), fog-map caption. Never branches on town type; classic-gated by
construction (#pc-street absent, tooltip pre-R40-byte).
E's arcade rule applied verbatim (§40.4): roof spans, a spanned roof has no posts;
district.kind keying, explicit ARCADEKIT classic gate + ?arcadekit=0 control.
-34 post instances exactly, lane draws 120→120 (+0). Shot pair vs E's reference.
Goldens 157,647/157,647, 0x5f76e76 unmoved after every wave.
