+### SESSION — SCENARIOS: THE JOINT & THE RACK (Fable, solo) — 2026-07-21 00:50
+**Branch/commits:** main; deployed live.
+**Done:**
+- **docs/SCENARIOS.md** — the idea shelf: characters (off-duty cop, celebrity
+  incognito, twins, sovereign citizen, noise-complaint neighbour, lost hen's
+  party, ex-doorman tutorial character), interactions (ID passback, 1:30
+  LOCKOUT LAW as a late-game phase, vomit protocol, water station, kebab run),
+  all held to §4.3 discipline. Two items implemented this session:
+- **THE JOINT BUST** (smoking yard): 'joint' is real contraband (severity 2 —
+  it also turns up in rope pat-downs now). E on a committed smoker who smells
+  herbal opens the new reusable **ChoiceOverlay** (three verbs + doll +
+  keyboard/pointer, built for every future floor scenario):
+  - BIN IT: by the book; the yard grumbles (+1 aggro); truth-logged.
+  - POCKET IT — **the game's first corruption verb**: nothing happens now;
+    50% a Dazza sting lands later ("a punter says SECURITY is holding");
+    and the incident sits in the log with report-form accounts where the
+    TRUTHFUL option is a confession (interest weight 9 — it WILL come up).
+  - DIDN'T SEE IT: the yard exhales (+1 vibe, smoker +0.08 intox), and
+    "no action taken" is still on the record.
+- **THE GLASSIE RUN** (the role ladder's glassie fantasy as a floor task):
+  kitchen room carved behind the bar's west end (dishwasher prop with green
+  glow, racks, door), a full rack spawns at the bar's EAST end (~22 min
+  respawn, amber marker). Carry it the length of the venue: crowd bumps and
+  hard steering build WOBBLE (pure physics in floor/glassie.ts, 5 tests);
+  wobble breaks glasses one smash at a time (new Sfx 'glassSmash' voice);
+  deliver survivors for vibe. Drop the lot: "The crowd applauds. Someone
+  yells TAXI." While carrying, the ONLY interaction in the world is the
+  dishwasher — the rack owns your hands, the door owns Kayden.
+**Verified in-browser**: full rack run (took rack → stressed → 5/6 delivered,
+incident logged), joint bust modal screenshot, POCKET IT → truth-log incident +
+sting queued. **Tests: 651. Gate clean. Deployed, live 200.**
+**Broke / known-wonky:**
+- The joint gates on activity === 'smoking' (a committed yard dwell) — right
+  for real play; test harnesses must pin dwellMs.
+- Rack carry doesn't slow the player (wobble IS the cost); revisit if the run
+  feels free once John plays it.
+- ChoiceOverlay is scroll-fixed full-screen; on-floor camera position is
+  irrelevant to it (deliberate).
+**Next:** SCENARIOS.md 🔜 items (ID passback, regular step-up lines,
+smoking-door slip-in); the lockout law wants its own design pass; John's two
+human passes still open.

+# NOT TONIGHT — Character, Scenario & Interaction Backlog
+
+*The idea shelf. Everything here obeys §4.3: choices cost something real, the
+game never grades them, and the humane option is never secretly optimal.
+Status: ✅ implemented · 🔜 next nibbles · 💡 backlog.*
+
+## Interactions & mini-systems
+
+- ✅ **The joint bust** (smoking yard). E on a smoker who smells herbal → three
+  verbs, none of them clean: **BIN IT** (by the book — write-up in the truth
+  log, smoker's night dampened), **POCKET IT** (the game's first corruption
+  verb — nothing happens now; maybe a Dazza sting later; and it sits in the
+  incident log waiting for the report form, where your account of it can be a
+  lie the audit remembers), **DIDN'T SEE IT** (the yard relaxes, vibe drifts
+  up… and it's still on the record as ignored). 'joint' is real contraband, so
+  it also turns up in pat-downs at the rope.
+- ✅ **The glassie run** (the glassie role's fantasy, previewed as a floor
+  task). A wire rack of glasses appears at the bar's east end; carry it the
+  length of the venue to the kitchen dishwasher. Crowd bumps and sharp turns
+  build WOBBLE; wobble breaks glasses one smash at a time. Deliver what
+  survives for vibe. Racks keep coming. The door is unattended while you do it
+  — Kayden is thrilled.
+- 🔜 **ID passback detection**: the same card twice in one night — the name on
+  the guest-list clipboard you already checked; second appearance of an
+  identical card = passback. Needs a "cards seen tonight" memory at the desk.
+- 🔜 **Regular step-up lines** keyed off timesDeniedBefore ("back again. new
+  moustache. no hard feelings").
+- 🔜 **Smoking-door slip-in** (FLOOR2 §2's second noStamp source).
+- 💡 **The 1:30 lockout** (deeply Queensland): after 1:30 AM, admissions are
+  ILLEGAL. The queue still forms; Dazza still wants bodies; every post-lockout
+  admit is a guaranteed strike risk vs a rioting line. A whole late-game phase
+  in one law.
+- 💡 **Vomit protocol**: someone redecorates the dance floor → deploy the wet
+  floor sign (we own the prop) → slips if you dawdle; the glassie mop loop.
+- 💡 **Phone confiscation**: someone filming on the dance floor — the
+  influencer's revenge arc.
+- 💡 **Water station duty** (RSA): press a cup on a `loose` patron; done right
+  it de-escalates the ripen timer. The humane tool that costs time.
+- 💡 **First aid**: a fainter. Recovery position via a QTE that is deliberately
+  NOT funny; the room hushes; the night resumes changed.
+- 💡 **Kebab run**: Dazza demands a kebab mid-slam. The shop is right there.
+  The queue can see you. The whole game in one errand.
+
+## Characters (door archetypes & scripted people)
+
+- 💡 **The off-duty cop** — flashes a badge at the rope. Real cop (deny freely,
+  he respects it; admit and he quietly reports the venue's breaches — a
+  walking inspector) or a $30 costume badge (the tells: hat, confidence,
+  wrong lanyard). The ID game's scariest bluff.
+- 💡 **The celebrity incognito** — cap + sunnies (two live rule breaches!).
+  Deny: nothing happens, ever, and Dazza never finds out who. Admit: vibe
+  rocket OR pap swarm outside (aggro storm). You cannot know which.
+- 💡 **The twins** — two people, one face, different names. Not a fake:
+  genuinely twins. Everything about the photo check is suddenly on trial.
+- 💡 **The sovereign citizen** — "I don't recognise your dress code as having
+  authority over my person." Aggro engine in a polo. His ID is a laminated
+  business card.
+- 💡 **The delivery rider** — insists the DJ ordered food. The DJ did not
+  order food. OR DID HE. (The booth lamp flickers hungrily.)
+- 💡 **The promoter** — arrives with a roll of wristbands and 'his' guest list
+  that doesn't match yours. Two clipboards enter, one leaves.
+- 💡 **The noise-complaint neighbour** — pyjamas, at the rope, at 1 AM, not
+  trying to get in: trying to get it turned DOWN. The only patron who wants
+  less club. Handle him badly and the inspector hears about it.
+- 💡 **The hen's party, lost** — seven matching sashes, wrong venue, right
+  energy. Admitting them is a vibe grenade with a random timer.
+- 💡 **The ex-doorman** — watches you work a patron, then tells you what you
+  missed (a live tutorial character; his tips are right ~80% of the time,
+  which is the joke).
+
+## Systems worth a whole phase
+
+- 💡 **Venue 4 / ROOM boss week** (design §6): dress code re-randomises every
+  15 in-game minutes; dialogue rendered as lip-read guesses under the loudest
+  mix arc.
+- 💡 **The DJ shift** (role ladder): the booth is built, the engine's mix is
+  already externally scriptable — requests at the booth, energy management.
+- 💡 **Bartender shift**: the bar geometry and RSA scoring already exist;
+  pour-and-cut-off from the other side of the counter.
