Round 4 orders, all five. The headline is a bug I authored: the v4 gating rule (any id in a TechDef.unlocks is locked until that tech completes) turned three rounds of tech authoring into a total bootstrap deadlock. Measured: melt not producible at tick 0 (first-taste impossible), 0 of 24 techs reachable — every pack chain gated behind packs you cannot make. disc-artifact-bottling cost 10 analog packs and unlocked the only machine that bottles analog packs. Fixed as a shape, not a patch, and both rules are now tests: - the M1 melt chain is starting equipment (so first-taste is possible, and RENDER's era derivation correctly reads it as starting equipment) - one pack is craftable at tick 0 — SPATIAL, made from the quantizer's own sins, so your first research is a study of your own damage 23/23 nodes now reachable; six emptied disc nodes deleted (no lane references tech ids). Also: - §10 THE COMPOSITE SEAM transcribed: alpha/hard-matte/blue-hole/fringe-lace/ green-spill/mixed-pixel/roto-chatter/ghost-feather/sodium-light (forward canon), matte bath, optical printer, chroma keyer, roto bench, neural keyer (powerDraw 240 — the codex's "appetite that dwarfs everything"). - ARCHAEOLOGY LAB canonized (kind: lab), ungated — a lab behind research is a lab you can never build. - ASIC cooler live: the round-3 spec of 0.02 would have meant "never heats, free 100/s". Retuned to 0.0018, sane under both readings of the contract. - accents where output-derivation can't work; CODEX_REF regex widened for §10. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
