mirrored and repaired now share ONE decrement path (correct()) and ONE placard slot —
the gunship's card is architectural (drafted sector, registration marks, no tick) where
the mite's is clerical. A sector theft and a unit theft move the ledger identically;
there is a test pinning it, because that is what a fork would break.
Stasis is implemented as a clock, not an effect: the sky gets its own feedSec, and a
hash auditor simply stops it accumulating. Release is byte-identical to the moment the
hold began — 5 seconds of audit cost the feed exactly zero — with none of the brownout's
seizure vocabulary. The transport legend flips PLAY to HOLD; that is the only pixel a
hold changes.
THE COMPLIANCE TONE: one voice of the ratify triad, A4, frequency set and never ramped.
Measured single partial, harmonics at the double-precision floor, pitch wander 0.000 Hz,
zero sidebands, bit-identical across renders — generated, not recorded. Gated on
discovered exactly as tapeChunk is: 146 million notices over 6s of audio time produce
exactly 5 notes.
Debt band >= 3 wears the pallor machinery with its sign flipped, white instead of grey.
Bands 0-2 render byte-identical: a factory in good standing wears no mark.

- repaired events decrement the ledger by one unit of the item (theft, not
boredom-decay) and stamp a small perfect green-tick placard — The Correction
signs its work; kept distinct from the crooked chip-coloured shipment stamp
- parity-mite activity grows a hospital-white sterile patch via growthMask
(its 3rd/4th customer): desaturate + lift to clinical white + faint tile grid,
the inverse of corruption and meant to feel worse
- DEV hook: .mite() .repair() plus .frame()/.canvas() pixel-verification drivers
- +3 repair-semantics tests (screen suite 33); order-3 STANDARD lines are DATA's
copy, my chyron wraps them (verified live, no clipping)

Mosquito swarms degrade a REGION via the growthMask template, seeded from the
swarm's world position -- the mask's second customer, as intended.
The game finally says its own name: a chromatic-ghosted WIMVEE FKTRY burn-in
holding 1.5s then dissolving to NOTHING IS WRONG. The awakening grows from a
single frame to a 0.47s full-canvas moment, so the first shipment lands as an
event rather than a blink.
Title and awakening are timed in seconds; the scram wipe stays frame-counted.
Three clocks for three fictions.

The Correction takes the sky for one second every time the player does science:
hospital white, green tick, the standard's real name from codex 1. Composited
dead last in screen space so not one pixel of it is corrupted -- that is the
joke. Hard cut on exit; a dissolve would make it look negotiable.
Timed in seconds, not frames: a broadcast interruption must last a second at any
refresh rate (verified 30 frames at 30fps, 60 at 60fps). The scram wipe stays
frame-counted -- tape artifacts are quantized to frames.
Pallor drains saturation and closes the corners in, per codex 8: colour is the
resource, so a factory with no reserve literally has less of it.

growthMask() is the reusable spatial-artifact template: an fbm-ragged growth
front creeping outward from a deterministic seed. The raggedness is load-bearing
-- a clean circle reads as a spotlight, not as spreading crystal.
Moire separates area from intensity: intensity saturates early while the mask
keeps growing with tally, so a big shipment reads as "the maze has spread"
rather than "everything got slightly shimmery". Seeded from the tick the crystal
first landed.
Tremor is ~1/4 of the brownout's judder and fever is a smooth haze against
tremor's random jitter, so dread, fever and seizure stay distinguishable.
Also clamps dt at both ends: a negative dt (clock rewind) turned ease()'s
1-exp(-dt/tau) into a huge negative multiplier and threw eased values into orbit.
Unreachable from main.ts's monotonic clock, but not a landmine worth keeping.

One stamp per shipped event (not per unit), 0.4s, sized by count, in the item's
chip colour. Composited in screen space so a melting feed never drags the placard.
Scram events get the one-frame TRACKING LOST bar, positioned from entity+tick so
a run always wipes the same way.

Eased param pressure so shipments land as waves, log escalation over the
first ~100 items, cross-modulated wobble above 0.8 so a mature factory looks
alive, brownout seize, and a one-frame white awakening on the first ship ever.
Measured 0.004-0.013ms/frame CPU against a 2ms budget.
