The important one: the dress-code card was highlighting every rule a patron
broke the moment they stepped up, so optimal play was reading a red line off the
desk. That deleted the inspection loop the whole scene exists for. The highlight
now fires after the ruling, as feedback.
Second: tonight's date appeared nowhere in the game, so working out whether an ID
was underage — the tell that files a heat strike and costs the licence — was
guesswork. It is now on the card beside the DOB and under the HUD clock, which
finally makes the boundary cases idCheck.ts was written for reachable.
Also:
- determinism: the partner's generatePatron call sat behind an enqueue-success
check, and enqueue fails at maxQueue, which is player-controlled — so from the
first queue overflow the rest of the night's patrons diverged. Same class as
the comeback-stream bug, fixed for couples and missed for patrons.
- the sobriety modal's backdrop wasn't interactive; you could rule straight
through it
- tooltips read "navy a blazer" — articles baked into the noun tables, then
colour-prefixed. They are the only detection channel for four rules under
placeholder art, so they have to read cleanly.
- bumbag and chain are drawn on the body but were described only in the head zone
- NightScene.endNight pushed heat strikes past core/meters.ts
- dropped the diff's one `as never` for a real type guard (CCR-4)
- replaced a vocabulary-coverage test whose string-equality heuristic silently
stopped working once a legitimate word matched its own type id
231 tests. Balance findings (vibe pins at 100, stalling is dominant, the slam
never materialises) are measured and written up in LANEHANDOVER.md but not
applied — that is a whole-economy retune and it wants a human playtest, not a
bot with perfect information.

Playable start to finish: 9 PM to 3 AM, patrons arrive on a curve, you work the
rope, inspect them, and rule. Dazza texts escalate the dress code through the
night, deferred consequences land when you can no longer argue, and the night
ends in a summary or one of two fail states.
Rules engine (src/rules/, pure, no Phaser):
- dressCode: 8 rules whose text/activeFrom are read out of data/strings/dazza.ts
by ruleId, with a load-time throw if a rule and its announcing text disagree
- idCheck: all ID date maths, built on core/GameClock's ageOn
- judge: the single scoring function, every magnitude named in JUDGE_TUNING
- sobriety: challenge content and the drunk-performance model
Scene layer (src/scenes/door/): NightScene shell, DoorScene, pure QueueManager +
arrivalCurve, patron-up inspection view, ID card, phone, dress-code card,
sobriety modal, stamp, summary.
Tests 49 -> 229.
Ten bugs found by playing it rather than by testing it, including one patron
being ruled eleven times (state was mutating inside a tween callback; it now
settles synchronously), a correctly-played night still rioting at 1:37 AM, and
28% of patrons being deniable for a logo the renderer never drew.
Contract change requests CCR-1..3 are in LANEHANDOVER.md. src/data/types.ts,
src/core/ and docs/ are byte-identical to main; the two additive extensions are
declare-module augmentations. src/main.ts is the one file touched outside the
lane (8 lines, to boot into the night) and is flagged for the reviewer.

FloorDemoScene (F from Parade): an 80x45-tile venue you patrol in the dark with
a flashlight cone that reveals detail, plus all three v0.2 infractions and the
UV stamp check. Self-populates from the patron generator; consumes Patron[] only,
so Phase 2 can hand it the real admitted list.
Pure, tested logic (venueMap, cone, player, crowdSim, bangJudge, escalation,
patDown); Phaser layer stays thin (FloorView + three overlays). 120 new tests,
169 total.
Two bugs found by running it rather than by the suite, both fixed:
- bump penalties had a per-agent cooldown but no sim-wide bound, so the leak rate
scaled with crowd size and an unattended venue pinned vibe to 0 / aggro to 100
by ~1AM. Sim-wide gate added, with a regression test.
- beat.update() sat below the overlay early-return, freezing the beat clock behind
modals and making the stall rhythm game unwinnable. Clock and beat now always run.
Also retuned dwell times and the tile/darkness palette for readability, and
dropped Light2D in favour of the cone mask it was fighting.
