The report catches up: frequency-aware interest weights and eleven banks for the floor's own paperwork
A bar shift logs ~26 serves and buildReport takes the top 3 with no dedupe, so bartender nights filed three identical generic pour questions. Weights now price frequency as well as interest, and the loaded kinds have real questions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

**Branch:** main (solo, Fable, ultra) · **Gate:** lint ✓ build ✓ test 756+4 ✓
|
||||
**Deployed:** https://monsterrobot.games/not-tonight/ (bundle hash verified against local build)
|
||||
|
||||
### The incident report catches up with the content
|
||||
~15 incident kinds shipped 2026-07-21 all landed on DEFAULT_BANK ("An entry was
|
||||
made in the log. Your account?"). The report is the game's moral spine (§4.3 —
|
||||
the system about what you SAY happened), so the newest and most loaded content
|
||||
was the vaguest thing in it.
|
||||
|
||||
**The real bug underneath**: `buildReport` takes the top 3 by `weight + jitter`
|
||||
with NO dedupe by kind, and every unweighted kind gets `defaultInterest: 2`. A
|
||||
bar shift logs ~26 `barServe` rows — so a bartender night's form was three
|
||||
near-identical generic pour questions, crowding out the one baggie. Weights now
|
||||
price FREQUENCY as well as interest: once-a-night-and-awkward scores high,
|
||||
many-times-a-night scores 0-2 however interesting it feels. Full table written
|
||||
for every kind the floor logs; `mopped`/`wetFloorSign`/`barShift`/`djShift`/
|
||||
`lightsOn`/`carpetEntrance` are deliberate zeros (a shift you turned up to is
|
||||
not an incident).
|
||||
|
||||
**New kind**: `barServeBreach` split out of `barServe` in FloorDemoScene —
|
||||
pouring a beer and pouring for someone who cannot find their mouth are
|
||||
different questions, and the report can only ask about what the kind can name.
|
||||
|
||||
**Eleven new banks**, in the established register (truthful names what happened
|
||||
and stops; soft options are deniability a tired adult could defend; no account
|
||||
pronounces a verdict): `baggiePocketed` ("Where is it now?" — the jointPocketed
|
||||
tier), `baggieBinned`, `barServeBreach`, `barCutOff`, `djTip`, `tabMisreturned`,
|
||||
`tabUnclaimed`, `carpetStorm`, `radioOrder`, `firstAid` (plain words only —
|
||||
tone guard), `phoneConfiscated`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tests (4 new, tests/incidentReport.test.ts)
|
||||
- 26 serves + 1 baggie → the baggie is asked, **all 30 seeds** (the flooding guard)
|
||||
- loaded bar kinds outrank routine ones; a turned-up-to shift asks nothing
|
||||
- every floor kind is explicitly weighted (guards the drift that started this)
|
||||
|
||||
### Verified in pane
|
||||
Rigged bar night (26 serves + breach + tip + baggie) → form asked exactly the
|
||||
three loaded ones, options shuffled, all three screenshotted.
|
||||
|
||||
### Still open (from SOLO-19's findings, unactioned — John's design calls)
|
||||
1. The bar generates zero hype; bartender pay ≈ wage vs a carpet doorgirl's
|
||||
+$180. Either the bar wants a hype channel or the wage table should say so.
|
||||
2. The RSA dilemma presents ~3x/night and dedupe caps it at one strike (0.8
|
||||
strikes/night for reckless serving). Design §6 calls it the bartender's
|
||||
signature tension; it is currently a coin flip.
