Phase 3 deliverables 1-4. The door now has something to read rather than a
checklist to tick.
The guest list clipboard shares the desk's left panel with Dazza's rules via a
tab, because there is no spare space at 640x360 and the tradeoff is honest:
checking a name costs you a beat of queue time. The mechanic is measured rather
than asserted — at the generator's real claim rates an exact match is a coin
flip, a near match leans legit, and no match leans liar. Owner's-mate patrons
now drop Terry's name, so the trap has a tell that isn't just confidence.
Scripted encounters (four, three a night) arrive ahead of the arrival curve and
speak in beats. Their consequences are real and the game never says which call
was right — no meter, no chime, no narrator.
The inspector reads as a boring punter; admitted, he converts any live breach
from a 3 AM audit finding into an immediate strike. Denied, nothing happens
ever. Verified in play: a night ended LICENCE PULLED with two of three strikes
his.
The incident report sits between the summary and the next shift. Filed accounts
go to pastReports so Phase 4 audits what the player claimed; NightScene no
longer dumps the raw truth there, which had nothing to catch anyone out with.
Also closes my own Phase-1 finding: judge() now reads intoxication and
contraband. Refusing someone who cannot stand up used to score identically to
refusing a clean punter, so the game's most legible signal was worth nothing.
That gap was also what made quietBeer's humane option secretly optimal on both
meters — the one thing design 4.3 forbids.
518 tests (was 413). Played a full 3-night run: all three nights reached 3 AM,
heat carried 1 -> 2 -> 2. The Phase-1 economy findings are all still true and
this lane did not change them — vibe pinned at 97-98 every night and aggro sat
at 0. Details in LANEHANDOVER.md.

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.
