+
+This session ran ALONGSIDE the parallel session that landed the roster wave
+(41e93d0..d4f8024). No feature work from me — I soak-tested, found three real
+defects, fixed them, and re-verified the merged tree.
+
+### Fixed 1 — the dev route killed the door (main.ts, NightScene)
+`showScene()` stopped `'Door'` (it was in the stop list) and then declined to
+restart the already-active `'Night'`. Pressing **N** mid-night therefore left a
+live Night driving a SHUTDOWN Door: an unplayable black screen with no way back.
+`'Floor'` was not in the list at all, so it survived — the asymmetry is what made
+it look like a launch race. Now only ROOT scenes route (`Roster/Night/Parade/
+FloorDemo/JuiceDemo`), and re-pressing a route key restarts the target, so N
+means "fresh night". `NightScene.teardown()` now stops Door and Floor, making
+real the ownership main.ts always claimed in a comment.
+
+### Fixed 2 — every floor-start shift booted INERT (NightScene)
+`applyLocation()` moves flags but emits nothing; the initial call is
+`applyLocation(role.startLoc)`. FloorDemoScene latches `present` when it binds
+the night context — and now that the night preloads all 28 prop textures, the
+floor's own loader finds nothing missing and binds SYNCHRONOUSLY, i.e. BEFORE
+that delayedCall(0) runs. So `present` latched `false` for bartender, glassie
+and DJ: floor visible, camera live, and every interaction dead. The audio filter
+also stayed in door mode while you stood on the dancefloor. The night now emits
+`night:phaseChange` + `audio:location` for the starting post. Verified all four
+roles: bartender→taps, glassie→floor, dj→decks, door→door.
+
+### Fixed 3 — the floor carried last night into this one (FloorDemoScene)
+Phaser reuses scene INSTANCES across restarts, so class-field initialisers run
+once per GAME. A DJ shift left `djMode` set and the next night booted with
+movement locked and the keyboard eaten; last night's `puddles` kept slipping
+people through sprites Phaser had destroyed; `spotted`/`cutOffDealt`/`jointDealt`
+marked fresh arrivals as already handled (patron ids restart with the run).
+`resetNightState()` in `create()` now wipes all of it. NOTE: the roster wave's
+own bar state (tabs/tips/orders/staffReadyAt) was already reset correctly in
+bindNight — only the older floor state leaked.
+
+### Soak (frame-stepped, ~1.5h game time, zero errors)
+Door object count flat (~70), floor objects track crowd, vibe oscillates 50→67→54
+(live pressure, not pinned). Night ended legitimately on AGGRO 97.8 after I
+abandoned the rope all night and Kayden waved through 13 people including a
+17-year-old — the fail narration is correct.
+
+### Verified of the roster wave
+Roster board renders and routes; BARTENDER shift starts on the floor at the taps;
+order → SERVE → pour meter → vibe +4.2 → `barServe` incident. Old saves still
+load (GameState shape unchanged, `loadGame` validates `v===1` and falls back).
+
+### Harness note for future sessions
+`window.game.loop.step()` does NOT advance real asset loading. A night that
+preloads 28 textures needs real wall-clock time before Door/Floor launch — step,
+then `await sleep(~900ms)`, then step again. Two "critical bugs" this session
+were my own harness outrunning the loader; check `scene._queue` and
+`load.totalToLoad` before believing a scene is stuck.
