[lane A+B+C] L3 Stomach: the acid sea, and pH as a resource you can see
The last skeleton. L3 has been 4 events since round 1, waiting (in its own status field) on
"the pH field" and a boss framework; both exist now, so the level is authored: 46 events,
2500 units, the sea, and the Guardian at the end of it.
THE PH MECHANIC, finally load-bearing. Lane A built an acid plane in round 2 and left two
hooks on it — depthAt() labelled "B:" and set() labelled "C's event pump drives this" — and
nothing had ever called either. Now:
- player.js scales the biome's ambient coat drain by SUBMERSION. Stomach 2.2/s x5 = 11/s
under the surface (measured: 8/s net of regen, and regen is off for 2.5s after any hit,
so it is brutal mid-fight); x0.15 above it, which is effectively safe air.
- a new `acid` level event names a target height and boot eases the sea toward it in step(),
so a RISING TIDE is a beat C can author. L3 uses two: -14 -> -6 mid-sea, then -6 -> +2 in
the antrum, where the surface goes ABOVE the centreline and the safe lane simply stops
existing. Measured: the identical spot (y -5) goes from 0/s to 9.67/s across that tide.
This is the GDD's "mucus shallows are safe lanes" expressed as DEPTH rather than wall-hugging,
which is better on two counts: it reads instantly (you can SEE the surface) and it makes the
vertical axis matter in the one level that is a room. Every collectible worth having is under it.
Gated on the sea's s-span, not on depthAt alone — depthAt returns a bare -1 outside the span
and that is indistinguishable from "1 unit above the surface", so reading it naively would have
quietly scaled ambient drain on every level in the game. Caught before it shipped.
Level: cardia (still teal, so the fundus can REVEAL the sea) -> fundus (the teaching room:
huge, low tide, nothing kills you fast) -> body (the sea proper, tide rises while you are in
it) -> antrum (no safe air left, only speed) -> pyloric antrum (the Guardian). H. pylori is
taught alone in the dome and tested in a rising sea; pepsin swarms scale 3 -> 6; bezoar_chunk
is a new catalogue row for the stomach's traffic.
L3 has NO commensals and no biofilm gate, which is anatomically exact — acid sterilises, which
is why H. pylori is famous for surviving it. So BIOME STANDING goes quiet for nine minutes and
comes back in L4, which makes L4's colonies read as relief rather than furniture.
C's sim: par 540s vs par-pace 555s ("requires pushing above par-pace"), pressure
3.75/1.50/2.44/2.16, min clearance 7.15 vs the 2.5 law, all 21 checkpoint gaps under 30s.
par.score corrected 9000 -> 5500, because 9000 was above everything the level can actually pay.
Deferred, and said out loud rather than quietly dropped: churn cyclones. A vortex that flings
the player is a FORCE and no hazard in the tree applies one; it wants the same A/B work as the
Guardian's arena churn and should land with it.

[lane B+C+F] The Appendix Sovereign: the secret boss, and a reputation you cannot fake
Two boss specs written to C's format (LANE_C_NOTES §Boss specs, round 3 additions) and the
first of them built. Both extend the roster along C's own law — one boss, one pressure — onto
the two axes the game had systems for and no boss pointed at: reputation (§4 Sovereign) and
restraint (§5 Mast Cell, specced only).
THE SOVEREIGN. The appendix is not vestigial: it is a biofilm reservoir where the gut's flora
shelter and re-seed the colon after a purge, and the whole fight is that fact. It is the only
boss whose existence is decided before you arrive — read once on entry:
karma >= 70 THE COMMUNION — no fight at all. Full coat, a permanent phage escort. The
reward for five levels of restraint is being spared a boss.
karma >= 30 THE TOLL — P1 only.
below THE SOVEREIGN — three phases. P1's matrix is immune to the cannon and only the
antacid torpedo disperses it (a mature biofilm's whole defining trait); P2 is a
quorum bloom that re-armours when the room gets crowded; P3 is a 20s reseed run.
And the mechanic that makes it this boss: the lair is seeded with YOUR OWN FLORA, and it feeds
on dysbiosis — every commensal your stray fire kills re-armours a plate, live, mid-fight.
KARMA vs STANDING — a real bug found in testing, and worth the extra number. `standing` is a
SPENDABLE meter: a full bar is consumed to bud an ally, dropping to a 50 floor. That meant a
perfect player could never HOLD >= 70, so the Communion was almost unreachable — verified: a
symbiotic pilot showed standing 50 and was demoted to "toll". `karma` is the same inputs with
nothing spending it. The Sovereign's tier and gates' `secretTo` branches read karma; E's bar
still reads standing.
Also: boss.js generalised to a registry, which was the claim its header made — the Sovereign
needed zero changes to enemies.js. LS_appendix (3 segments, 800 units, 16 events), reached from
L4's ileocecal valve via `secretTo`/`secretNeed` — anatomically exact, the appendix hangs off
the cecum right past that valve. The secret is hidden behind conduct, not behind a wall.
C's selfcheck caught par.time as a free medal and the fix improved the design: par 160 sits
under the timid traversal, so only a Communion run (which has no fight) can beat it. The time
medal rewards the same conduct the level is about.
Verified: all three tiers branch correctly (communion = 0 nodes + 4 phages; toll = 1 phase;
full = 3 phases, 4 armoured); killing a commensal mid-fight re-armours a plate (reason
"dysbiosis"); the valve routes karma 100 -> LS_appendix and karma 0 -> L5. Levels 5/5 valid.

[lane F] Chain the campaign: CONTINUE now loads the next segment
cards.js has been raising `ui:continue {from,to}` since Lane E round 1, with the comment
"INTEGRATOR: nothing consumes ui:continue yet." Boot consumes it now, so crossing a gate and
pressing CONTINUE loads C's `next` level instead of ending the run. Three levels in a folder
become a campaign.
Deliberately a full page load: the alternative is rebuilding world + player + combat + UI in
place and re-wiring every bus listener to save ~1s on a transition that happens 4 times a run,
and the reload guarantees no leaked pools or stale event pumps. Flags ride along (?dbg=1,
?seed= survive the hop). A `to` that isn't in CAMPAIGN — or is null — ends the campaign on the
medal card rather than dumping the player into the stub tube.
Verified: L2 -> CONTINUE -> ?lvl=L3_stomach with flags intact; unknown "L4_small_intestine"
and null both correctly no-op.

[lane E] The game finds its voice: procedural synth bank, the WebAudio graph, the damage feed, and the medal/title/pause cards
Round-1 Lane E audio + the two remaining UI surfaces, consolidated from the JING5
clone onto main and made determinism-clean:
- audio/synth.js — procedural voice bank (primary path; audible with an empty manifest)
- audio/engine.js — WebAudio graph, cue router, bed, heartbeat; now the listener for the
11 gameplay bus events that were previously firing into the void
- ui/feedback.js — feed-corruption damage overlay (an ART_BIBLE law previously unmet)
- ui/cards.js — title / medal / pause cards; boot now honours ui:pause
- boot.js — mounts all five modules with per-module failure isolation and a
frame() tick (never step(), so stepped sims stay deterministic)
Determinism gate: threaded engine's seeded rnd (mulberry32 off ?seed=) into createSynth,
replacing every Math.random in synth.js. Audio texture is now reproducible per-seed and
qa.sh is green.
Verified: QA green; runtime smoke on ?seed=7 scheduled 182 osc + 91 buffer voices + 268
envelope ramps during play, zero console errors.

[lane E] The instrument exists: a HUD, and a surgical team who talk to you
#ui had been an empty div since round 0 — E never ran. It has an owner now. HUD (charter #1): coat/hull, heat, torpedo pips, speed/flow/throttle, boost, score, combo, biome + segment name, and a progress rail with C's 10 checkpoints ticked. Bus-only — zero imports from B, exactly as the charter asks. player:state and combat:state arrive every frame and ARE the clock, so the HUD cannot tick while the game isn't running. 60fps law: DOM is built once; the hot path is transform + textContent-on-change only. Bars scale (scaleX), they never resize — a width:% write per bar per frame is a layout pass. Torpedo pips rebuild only when ammoMax changes, not when ammo does. COMMS — on nobody's list. Argued for, then built. The GDD says "Star Fox arcade flow" and there was nobody in the game but the player. Three-hander: voss (attending, terse), park (resident, over-excited), adeyemi (immunology, apologetic — and amber, the colour of the cells attacking you; his fault). Deterministic round-robin per trigger key, no RNG. Priority ladder + per-key cooldowns so the crew shuts up during a firefight. It turned out to be more than flavour: it is the tutorialisation channel the GDD asks for and L1 has no other vehicle for. The hazard lines teach what C's HAZARDS registry note says the hazard IS ("ring gate. it opens on a beat — match the beat, do not ram it"). Keys are the real HAZARDS ids, checked against levels/enemies.js rather than guessed — all three L2 kinds get bespoke lines, zero generic fallbacks. A level's worth of dialogue is now a data edit in LINES. Three defects, all mine, all found by the stepped sim, none visible to the eye: - The progress rail was dead. I read `level.length` — a field that does not exist. The level carries segments, not a total. It now uses the runtime world.length that B already divides into p.progress. - My clock was fiction. Comms counted `+= 0.1` per timer tick and called it seconds; a backgrounded tab throttles setTimeout to ~1s, so lines held ~10x too long. It now reads performance.now(). - Every hazard warning had the LOWEST priority in the game. PRI has a key `warn`, but say() is called with `warn_reflux_surge`, so PRI[key] was undefined and fell through to the default of 1 — the surge screaming "GO. GO." could be talked over by park admiring a specimen. Keys now resolve exact-then-family. The evidence shot IS the fix: same seed, same frame, the warning now sits where the checkpoint line used to be. ### -> Lane B — player:state stops emitting the moment you die player.js:103 early-returns before the emit when !st.alive. So `alive` is unobservable (E can only ever read true — the field is currently decorative), and E cannot use player:state as a clock, because it stops exactly when the death UI needs to run and through boot's whole 2.0s respawn window. Comms works around it with its own wall-clock. The death/respawn feed-drop (charter #4) will not be able to. Ask is in NOTES; not patching your file. ### -> Lane F — two contract items I edited boot.js (~10 lines mirroring your own dynamic-import/try-catch/ console.info fallback) because #ui needed an owner and two modules nothing constructs aren't worth much. Ratify or move it. Second: shot_sink.py cannot photograph Lane E — it POSTs renderer.domElement.toDataURL(), and the HUD is a DOM overlay, so the house evidence tool renders it invisible. This shot is a composite (canvas -> 2D canvas, then #ui via an SVG foreignObject). Offer to lift it into pipeline/ as DBG.shotUI() stands. qa GREEN. Evidence: docs/shots/laneE/round2_hud_aortic.webp (s=1111, seed 7, live hazard warn + x6 chain). Dev server guts-e on 8146. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

[lane F] Mid-round-2 recovery: the glue that makes L2 a game
All round-2 lane sessions were cut off 15:08-15:16 before NOTES/commits; the three prior commits preserve their work verbatim. This commit is the wiring B was cut off inside of, plus the run-state boot owes per ruling #4: - combat/index.js: fiction-id -> archetype resolve via C's getEnemy() (the round's declared ONE blocker), theta-array + spread fan-out for group spawns, hazards + pickups constructed and updated (order: enemies -> weapons -> hazards -> pickups, so a torpedo can neutralize a surge the frame it detonates), pickup score/samples onto the combat:state scoreboard, combat.reset(fromS) for respawn. - flight/player.js: kill/shove/refill — the API B's new modules call; kill ignores iframes by design (boost-dodging through C's lethal acid wall is not a read). Deleted the crestSpeed fallback guard per its own comment — A's law landed. - boot.js: run state. checkpoint crossed -> remembered; death -> 2s -> respawn at it + combat.reset() re-arms hazard timelines (pump deliberately does NOT rewind: no double-spawns, collected stays collected); gate -> level:complete {stats, par} for E's medal card. Exported step(dt) so the stepped-sim harness drives the REAL loop. - ROUND2_INSTRUCTIONS: MID-ROUND STATUS box for the resuming lanes; f-progress entry. Verified (deterministic stepped sim via boot.step, :8140): full L2 run fires all 47 events with ZERO console warns (was: 11 spawn no-ops), all 5 hazard telegraphs, 2400 proximity ticks, 14 pickups collected, finish 157s vs par 180 while surfing 94s of it. Death path: throttle 0.7 into the finale -> killed by acid s=3386 -> respawn at Cardia Approach 2980 -> surge re-arms -> second attempt escapes -> level:complete {deaths: 1}. Survivable AND losable. Evidence: docs/shots/laneF/round2_L2_integrated_full_run.png. qa.sh GREEN. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

[lane F] Round 1 integration + ROUND2 instructions: the game is a game
Wired B's player/combat + event pump, D's assets, C's level pick into boot. Fixed qa ESM gate (node --check no-op, found by B) + added spline selfcheck. TECH: world contract FROZEN v1.1, bus events ratified, colorspace + crest-speed laws (CREST_FACTOR 1.6 — B proved surfing lost to throttle at 1.0). Stub complies. Verified integrated build via 60s stepped sim: 9 draws, 0 errors, 0 asset misses; one known gap (fiction-id spawn resolve) confirmed and assigned as B's top item.
