The door stops being 28 rectangles

The rope is where the player spends most of the night and it was still coloured
primitives behind a single street plate.

- kebabShop: the moral centre of the game (design §5) was three rects and the
  word KEBABS. The warm spill on the footpath stays procedural — it is the only
  warm light in the scene and it is what says the shop is open.
- front:<venueId>: one facade per rung of the ladder, so a promotion is visible
  from the footpath. ROOM also loses the procedural NOT TONIGHT sign, because
  "no sign. no socials." is its actual entry in data/venues.ts.
- Footpath: a street lamp, a bin, a waiting cab, and brass stanchions on the
  carpet. The cab is alpha'd back and depth-1 so it never looks clickable next
  to the kebab shop, which is.
- poster4..poster9, so four venues stop sharing one wall of three. Mangled
  lettering is correct on posters and always has been.

And a composition bug I put in this same wave: the per-venue street plates were
first prompted as "frontage", so The Royal's backdrop was a whole pub with its
own central door and the venue facade then sat on top of it — two pub fronts,
two doors. Voltage's original plate has always been a WALL, which is what a
backdrop has to be. Re-prompted all three as blank walls and regenerated. No
test would have caught that; I found it by looking at the screen.

127 sprites now, none missing.

Gate: lint clean, build clean, 821 tests passing.

+
+### The door scene stops being 28 rectangles
+The rope is where the player spends most of the night and it was still coloured
+primitives behind one street plate. Now:
+- **`kebabShop`** — the moral centre of the game (design §5) was three rects and
+  the word KEBABS. The warm spill onto the footpath stays procedural either way;
+  it is the only warm light in the scene and it is what says OPEN.
+- **`front:<venueId>`** — one venue façade per rung. The Royal is a pub front,
+  ROOM is a blank wall with one steel door. The promotion is now visible from the
+  footpath before you walk in. ROOM also suppresses the procedural NOT TONIGHT
+  sign, because "no sign. no socials." is literally its entry in data/venues.ts.
+- Footpath dressing: `streetLamp`, `streetBin`, `taxi`, and `stanchion` posts on
+  the red carpet. The taxi is alpha'd back and depth-1 so it never reads as
+  clickable next to the kebab shop, which is.
+- Six more posters (`poster4`–`poster9`) so four venues stop sharing one wall of
+  three. Mangled lettering on these is CORRECT (docs/SPACES.md) — the poster
+  prompts are the only ones that do not say "no text".
+
+### The composition bug I shipped into the same wave
+First pass prompted the per-venue street plates as **"frontage"**, so The Royal's
+backdrop was a whole pub with its own central door — and then the venue façade
+was drawn on top of it. **Two pub fronts, two doors.** Voltage's original plate
+has always been a WALL, which is what a backdrop has to be. Re-prompted all three
+as blank walls ("NO doors, NO entrance") and regenerated: 50s each, free, local.
+Caught by looking at the screen, not by any test — there is no assertion that
+would have found it.
+
+### Totals
+**127 sprites.** 95 prop kinds + 10 materials + the door-scene art, none missing.
+15/15 this wave plus 3 regenerated plates, no failures.
+
+### Note on Cloudflare
+Still spent both times today: the free 10k neurons reset at **00:00 UTC**, which
+is 10:00 AEST — so an evening session in Australia will essentially always find
+the allocation gone and run local. That is fine (the farm is free and unlimited),
+but it means the CF-first tier only ever pays off for a morning batch. Every
+sprite this session is MODELBEAST-rendered.
