Landed before the cut: surf as a speed-lock onto world.crestSpeed(s) with surf.authority (ruling #1) — riding beats throttle and holding a crest is throttle discipline; tuning.js header corrected to the real wallRho frame (C's flag); enemies.js reads rho as a FRACTION of safe radius (C's placement law); balance.js hazard + pickup constants; NEW hazards.js (reflux_surge / aortic_squeeze / ring_gate, self-scheduling telegraphs, reset(fromS) built for respawn) and NEW pickups.js (all five kinds, shape-coded). Cut off before: wiring — nothing imports hazards/pickups yet; the fiction-id -> archetype resolve (round-2 task #1) does NOT exist despite the enemies.js comment saying index.js does it; player.kill/shove/refill are called but were never added; checkpoint/respawn and gate -> level:complete not started; NOTES unwritten. F lands the glue next commit. Committed by F to protect the shared tree. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
