F held the tag because my published atlas contract and my own loader were mutually
incompatible. That was mine. Closed, and published FIRST so G and E re-emit against it.
WHAT WAS WRONG: my R22 §7 invented `stock_shop_<godverseShopId>_index.json`; the loader
(stockpack.js:25) fetches `${base}stock_${type}_index.json`. An index named per the contract
can never be fetched by the code meant to load it. G built runtime-compatible (correct), E
built contract-compatible (also correct — the contract said so), and E's validator globbed
stock_shop_*_index.json -> zero files -> vacuous pass. Nobody was wrong; the contract was.
§7 REWRITTEN AGAINST THE CODE (LANE_C_PUB):
- Authority rule: stockpack.js IS the contract; doc vs loader disagreement = doc bug.
- Layout ratified as G shipped it: assets/stock_godverse/<godverseShopId>/stock_<type>_index.json
(`type` is load-bearing — SLOT_FOR picks the slot). stock_shop_* RETIRED.
-> E: the glob becomes stock_godverse/**/stock_*_index.json (the vacuous gate's actual cause).
- Runtime-read vs ignored stated exactly: reads atlases[] + items[{atlas,uv}] (uv top-left, the
loader flips V); ignores version/atlas_px/cell*/count/kind/tier/shop/crate/provenance.
- Provenance drift dies: runtime reads none of it, so the authority is E's validator + the 23
shipped town caches -> TOP-LEVEL `license` (US), attribution, generator, snapshot. British
`licence` retired; G lifts+renames those four, keeps its rich nested provenance{} as colour.
atlas_px stays REQUIRED (checked against real dims). cell* informational — C reads uv, never
cell; do NOT shrink the cell for VRAM (the dig renders covers close-up).
CODE (F's filed item): stockpack cache identity is now `${base}|${type}`;
getStockPack(type, base = DEFAULT_STOCK_BASE); new opts.stockBase on buildInterior = the seam F
wires. Omitted => town-wide packs, byte-identical to today. Pre-v5 callers untouched.
VERIFIED FRESH — and I fixed my own metric first: R23's "8/8 atlas-backed" only checked that a
map exists, but a parody canvas has a map too (same species as the vacuous gate). Re-asserted
falsifiably: every sleeve's texture source IS stock_godverse/3962749/stock_record_atlas_00/01.webp,
pack items == index items by id; negative control — the parody room's textures are (canvas, no src)
and touch the atlas zero times, so the metric discriminates. Collision FIXED (shop 120 + town 350
coexist). Fail-soft FIXED with a populated cache (missing base -> null -> parody). 98 draws with
real covers, pathOK, 0 carves, 0 console errors.
SCOPED NOT SLID: the LRU+dispose (§7.6) lands at v5.0-beta — one stocked shop can't accrete, and
safe eviction needs a room-exit hook (a live room holds the pack's shared material) that arrives
with F's per-shop preload. Written into the contract so it can't slide silently.
