qa.sh --strict --matrix 7 passed / 0 failed / 0 warn. selfcheck ALL GREEN 156,352/156,352 —
UNCHANGED, confirming the brief's prediction that nothing this round moves a golden. MATRIX
GREEN 10 towns x 7 gates.
F'S POSE GATE HAS NO SUBJECT — SKIPPED with the reason printed, per the vacuous-gate law. The
brief asked for "lean/look poses through the scale gate" and "leaning peds in old frames". There
are no new poses in the game:
· `lean` DOES NOT EXIST. E measured instead of trusting the list — the stash's 34 clips have no
lean, and find -iname "*lean*" across ultra returns nothing. Brief and kickoff both called it
already-cached. The premise was half wrong, and E found it the only way these are ever found.
· `look.glb` is shipped, verified, published, sha1-checked by fetching the bytes BACK off the
public depot — AND NOTHING BINDS IT. loadPedFleet() loads walk, idle, sit. No look. E's
handoff said it plainly ("-> D: gate it behind an opt the way rigs.js gates sit"); D's entire
R28 commit is LANE_D_NOTES.md, 48 lines, docs only. The run order said "when E's clips land:
D (#1 wiring)" — the log says D committed BEFORE E shipped.
Nobody was careless; the wave order was. Every check E ran was real and passed, and none of them
could see that no consumer exists. A GATE ON THE ARTIFACT CANNOT SEE THE WIRE — fifth appearance
of the R17 pattern this epoch and the cheapest yet to have missed, because the artifact was
perfect.
v5.1 SHIPS ANYWAY, AND DOES NOT CLAIM THE SPIKE. An unbound clip is inert: nothing is broken,
the game is unchanged and correct. This is not R18's "known breach", it is an unfinished item,
and holding a polish tag over an inert file would be precious. What ships is the sweep:
C's audioEmitter (its own v3.0 note had specified it wrong on both halves — "the panner was
inert"), and TWO backlog items KILLED WITH THE MEASUREMENT — B's awning ripple and D's
instrument LOD, the oldest tri item on the books. They don't leave the backlog "deferred"; they
leave it gone, with the number that killed them.
Filed for R29 (D, one opt): rigs.js gains `look` the way it gates `sit`; F passes it from the
shell. Then the pose gate has a subject and F runs it.
