LANE C — interiors contract (venues + real-town class mapping) → Lanes A/D/E/F

v3.0-FROZEN · 2026-07-16 · durable contract for Lane D + Lane F. §0–§5 describe the shipped venue state; changes require a version bump (CITY_SPEC amendment law). Verified R13 (build) + R14 (audit). v3.1 amendment: §3 became the stage.backline[] contract (ledger #5 — the amp unification). v4.0-beta amendment (2026-07-16): §6 added — the real-town shop-class → archetype mapping (ledger #2, the density widening; C→E handshake). The frozen venue contract (§0–§5) is unchanged.

The district ships three venue archetypes behind ?gigs=1 — pub, band_room, rsl. Lane A converts a chosen shop to a venue kind in place (shop.type = kind); C keys the interior recipe off shop.type. All three return the SAME shape (below), so Lane D drops rigs in and Lane F reads state with no per-kind branching. Non-venue rooms are byte-identical (venue code runs only for recipe.venue, on its own seed sub-streams). Verified fresh (seeds 20261990/1990/7/42/101 + 90-build soak): 0 throws · 0 carves · 0 path-fails · 0 determinism-fails · leak geo0/tex0 · worst build 8.3 ms. Budgets in §3.

0. The pose ry convention (pinned) — READ THIS FIRST

Canonical convention (every C pose uses it): a pose's ry is the yaw of a thing whose front / outward normal is local −Z at ry=0, i.e. world-facing (−sin ry, −cos ry). counter.stand, browsePoints, watchPoints and bandPoses ALL follow it, and the box placeholder (placeholder.js) is built to it (toes at −Z). keepers.js greet math assumes it. Drop a rig in at a pose's ry and it faces the right way — no per-consumer flip.

Why no flip (the R13 fix, for the record): the GLB fleet meshes ship facing local +Z at ry=0 — the opposite of the −Z convention (verified: the anterior toe-bone vector toe − foot reads (≈0, +0.99)). Before R13 this was compensated per-consumer, inconsistently: band.js flipped by π (band/crowd correct, placeholders backward) while keepers.js did not (placeholders correct, keepers + browsers 180° backward whenever the GLB fleet was loaded — they'd been shipping back-to-front). D fixed it at the source in rigs.js buildFigure: the cloned inner is rotated π about Y so every GLB rig faces −Z, matching the placeholder and every C pose. All consumer flips were then deleted. Net: keepers, browsers, band and crowd all face correctly, GLB and placeholder modes are consistent, and C's pure-data poses never moved (no golden touched). If you add a new rig consumer, plant it at the pose ry with no flip.

1. What buildInterior returns for a venue (shop.type ∈ pub | band_room | rsl)

Everything below is pure data on the return (room-local coords, the ry convention in §0). Lane D drops rigs straight in; Lane F reads state — no new lifecycle vs. the R9 keeper/browser seam.

room.stage — the band stage, a 4-piece (null for non-venues)

room.stage = {
  x, z,            // deck centre (against the back wall)
  w, d,            // deck size (m) — varies by kind (table below)
  deckY,           // deck top surface height (m) — the front line stands here
  riserY,          // drum riser top height (m) = deckY + 0.16 — the drummer sits here
  frontZ,          // z of the deck lip (the crowd stands in front of this, +Z)
  bandPoses: [ { x, z, ry, role, y, seated? } ×4 ],
}

• bandPoses[0..2] = the front line: role ∈ guitar / vocal / bass, across the deck lip, y = deckY.
• bandPoses[3] = the drummer: role: 'drums', seated: true, up-stage centre on the drum riser, y = riserY (= deckY + 0.16, the fittings.js stage riser box).
• Lane D: lift each member to its own pose.y (front line = deckY, drummer = riserY). role hints the instrument — E's GLBs via opts.instrumentFor(role) (electric_guitar/bass_guitar/mic_stand/drum_kit), primitives otherwise (asset law). seated:true → seated bob. ry = π already faces the audience (+Z) — no flip (§0).
• The band is a 4-piece for v3.0 (front-line trio + drummer). Reverting to a trio would be a version bump (drop bandPoses[3]), not a runtime toggle.

room.watchPoints — the audience, cap by kind (empty [] for non-venues)

room.watchPoints = [ { x, z, ry, dance, slotIndex } ]   // seeded floor poses, all facing the stage centre

• Crowd cap by kind: pub 8 · band_room 8 · rsl 12 (the RSL is the crowd-cap stress case). The room fills what geometry allows up to the cap; the count IS the crowd cap (F asserts crowd ≤ watchPoints.length).
• dance seeded ~⅓ true ("a bit of both"). D: dance:false → stand-and-watch idle; dance:true → bob/sway with a seeded phase offset (use slotIndex/coords). Every point walkable, reachable, clear of the keeper stand + browse points + stage/PA. Deterministic per shop.seed.

room.counter / keeper — unchanged

The bar is a normal counter; the barkeep is just a keeper at room.counter.stand (R9 seam). Faces the customer correctly under §0.

room.audio.gigKey — the live bed

room.audio = { musicKey, toneKey, gigKey? }. The manifest key is the gigKey, canonical form gig-<genreKey> — no mapping table. F passes gig state via opts.gig:

buildInterior(rslShop, THREE, { gig: { on: true } })   // → room.audio.gigKey === 'gig-covers'

• Genre resolves opts.gig.genreKey → the venue's own shop.genreKey (A sets it) → a kind default (pub→pubrock, band_room→grunge, rsl→covers). Present only when a gig is on.
• Prefer gigKey over musicKey while the gig plays. E's beds are gig-pubrock / gig-grunge / gig-covers; a missing key → silence (audio law), band still visible.
• C hand-builds 'gig-'+genreKey (byte-identical to citygen's gigKeyFor, selfcheck-asserted) rather than importing it — deliberately, to keep the interiors lib standalone (it never imports citygen).

The venue table (C-owned tuning)

kind	archetype bias	ceiling	deck w × d, deckY	crowd cap	genre → gigKey	dressing
pub	wide / hall	3.6 m	0.58·W × 2.0, 0.32	8	pubrock → gig-pubrock	pub tables, sticky carpet, bar
band_room	cosy / pokey / wide	3.4 m (low)	0.62·W × 1.6, 0.20 (barely a riser)	8	grunge → gig-grunge	near-empty standing room, tin-shed dingy
rsl	hall / wide	4.0 m (tall)	0.50·W × 2.4, 0.40	12	covers → gig-covers	flock walls, club carpet, bistro tables, members' bar

2. Quiet-night variant

No opts.gig → a normal interior: stage + watchPoints are still returned as data, but there's no gigKey (room-tone + maybe the seeded radio musicKey), and D spawns no crowd. A seeded dark night reads true — the venue is just a quiet pub/club.

3. stage.backline[] — the amp slots (v3.1, ledger #5)

room.stage.backline = [ { x, z, ry, y } ×2 ] — seeded up-stage amp/spare-cab poses, pure data (C plants no amp meshes as of v3.1). This is the unified backline: Lane D plants E's guitar_amp GLB here (its own primitive fallback under ?noassets) — one amp system, GLB when present. C's old primitive ampStacks are dropped from all three venue recipes.

• slot[0] = stage-right (the primary amp) at (stage.x + stage.w·0.36, deckY, stage.z − stage.d·0.22) — identical to D's R15-verified plant, so wiring D's amp to backline[0] moves nothing on screen. slot[1] = stage-left spare cab (mirror). ry = π faces the audience (+Z, the §0 convention); y = deckY.
• Guarantees (verified fresh, seed 20261990, pub/band_room/rsl): every slot is up-stage of the front line, flanks the drum riser, clear of all 4 bandPoses (nearest-bass clearance 0.87 m pub / 0.70 m band_room / 0.92 m rsl) and all watchPoints (≥1.95 m), and on-deck (within the deck footprint). Deterministic per shop.seed. Lane D: verify no interpenetration once wired (C's R15 clearance discipline).
• Draw impact: dropping C's primitives shaved ~4 draws off each empty venue shell (drawSweep glb-off: pub 122 · band_room 120 · rsl 131 ≤350); D's GLB/primitive at backline[0] adds it back on the gig night.
• v3.2 (parked): the drummer sit clip, instrument LOD, and C's audioEmitter idea.

4. Budgets (measured R14, seed 20261990, fresh context)

• Empty shells (drawSweep glb-off): band_room 124 · pub 126 · rsl 135 — town-wide worst 161 (opshop/hall). ≤ 350. ✓ (identical to R13 — C geometry unchanged).
• Gig-night interior draws, D's GigCrew with the real instrument GLBs + amp (localdepot): pub 60 · band_room 52 · rsl 71. Asset-free (placeholder crowd, no GLBs) worst RSL 237 (16 rigs). ≤ 350. ✓
• Tris: fleet peds ~2.7k each; E's instrument GLBs 14k each (decimated to the ≤15k target), 5 on a stage = 70k — the instruments dominate. RSL gig-night ≈ 182k tris once the async GLBs settle. The interior gate is draws (passes); tris are the street budget (200k), so this is not an interior gate. Note for E/F: F's gig-night smoke reports ~34k because it measures before the async instrument GLBs load; the settled scene is ~180k. A camera-distance LOD on instruments is a v3.1 candidate.
• Determinism / release-law: C's interior code is unchanged since R13; D's continuity + RY-fix ride disjoint rng namespaces (ctx.stream(salt) vs rng(citySeed,kind,id)) and cannot perturb C's placement or any golden. 90-build venue soak: 0 determinism · 0 carve · 0 path-fail · worst 8.3 ms; leak geo0/tex0.

5. The archetypes (C-owned)

band_room = a tin shed: small (cosy/pokey), low ceiling, barely-a-riser deck, near-empty standing floor, bar in the corner — the PA louder than the room. rsl = carpet-and-flock club: the biggest floor in town (hall/wide), a proper raised stage at one end, bistro tables round the edge, members' bar, the biggest crowd cap. Both reuse the pub venue machinery (theme.js venueSpec + layout.js placeStage/placeWatchPoints); only the dressing + venueSpec differ. Stage/PA keep GLB slots for Lane E (primitive fallback holds); the backline amp is D's, planted at stage.backline[0] (see §3).

6. Real-town shop-class → interior archetype mapping (v4.0-beta, ledger #2) → Lane E

Directive (John, kickoff — SUBTLE: texture, not takeover). The secondhand shops stay the heroes of the town (they are the game). The widening adds general retail as texture — the everyday main-street staples a real Australian town has — mapped onto existing archetypes (no new archetypes this round). The player should feel the town's more alive, not that the game changed.

How it's applied (E owns the emission). plan_osm keeps only registry types (SHOP_TYPES — unknowns flatten to opshop). So E maps each fetched OSM shop=* / amenity=* value to a registry type below and bakes it into the cache's shop.type. Every target is an existing type, so C's recipes, A's registry, and the budgets are all unchanged. Unknown/unlisted classes degrade safely to opshop (R18-proven: 18 real OSM types all built valid).

Heroes — secondhand (unchanged; NEVER subsampled):

OSM class	→ type
charity, second_hand, antiques, vintage	opshop
books, bookshop	book
music	record
video, games	video
pawnbroker	pawn
toys	toy

Widened — everyday main-street texture (general retail):

OSM class(es)	→ type	wears it as
bakery, cafe†, confectionery, pastry, chocolate, deli/delicatessen, butcher, cheese, coffee, tea	milkbar	the food counter
convenience, kiosk, general, dairy	milkbar	the corner store
newsagent, stationery	milkbar	papers + magazines
chemist, pharmacy, cosmetics, perfumery	milkbar	dispensary counter
clothes, fashion, boutique, shoes, bag, jewelry/jewellery	dept	the dressed retail floor
department_store, variety_store, supermarket	dept	big general retail
hardware, doityourself, trade, electronics, mobile_phone, furniture, houseware/homeware	dept	shelved goods
greengrocer, florist, farm, garden_centre	stall	produce/plants on trestles

† cafe/fast_food are amenity=*, not shop=* — fetch them from the amenity tag; everything else is shop=*. Fallback: any fetched class not listed → opshop.

}

Default (not in the map) → opshop.

Subtlety guardrails (E):

• Fetch only these tasteful staples — not every OSM shop=*. Skip vehicle/tyres/fuel, funeral, storage, industrial, and pure services the player never browses (hairdresser, beauty, travel_agency, bank, laundry, estate_agent).
• Never subsample the secondhand heroes.
• If a town's general-retail count would visually drown the secondhand strip, seed-subsample the texture classes (the milkbar/dept/stall targets) toward ~2–3× the secondhand count, and count the drops in norm.dropped like every other drop.

Why these targets: milkbar (counter + fridge + magazine rack + glass case) is the canonical Australian counter shop — it wears cafe/bakery/deli/newsagent/chemist naturally; dept (cube shelves + clothes racks + glass cases) wears clothes + hardware + big retail; stall (trestles + crates) wears produce + florist. Three general-retail looks + the six secondhand heroes + the three venues = variety with no new archetypes. Pre-verified (seed 20261990, real-town lot 8.5×14): milkbar/dept/stall/opshop all build valid (0 carves, ≤143 draws); dept reads as a clean dressed-retail floor (cube shelves + clothes racks + counter, the escalator does not dominate the ~7.9×11.7 room), so clothes/hardware → dept is confirmed. C re-checks the full result in the five-town door-soak (ledger #6) once E's caches land. (FYI: C's theme.js canonicalType/ALIAS already recognizes several of these — deli/corner_store→milkbar etc. — for any direct buildInterior(rawClass); the authoritative mapping for the caches is this table.)
