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.

+## Dev notes (venue expansion landed 2026-07-28)
+- **The ladder's four venues now have four different rooms** (`docs/VENUES.md`).
+  Layouts live in `src/scenes/floor/layouts/` (`theRoyal`, `elevate`, `room`);
+  **Voltage stays in `venueMap.ts`** so the others can import primitives from it
+  without an import cycle. A night picks its room from `NightContext.venue.id`.
+- Nothing about a room may be a module singleton any more. Props, lights, posts,
+  probes and the tile palette all hang off `FloorLayout`. `venueMap.VENUE/PROPS/
+  LIGHTS` still exist and are still Voltage's — they are the reference room, not
+  "the venue".
+- **Dev route `#floor:<venueId>`** boots the floor demo straight into one room
+  (`#floor:room`, `#floor:theRoyal`, `#floor:elevate`). Plain `#floor`/F = Voltage.
+- `tests/floor/layoutInvariants.ts` is the executable rulebook every layout runs:
+  perimeter, reachability, anchors on walkable tiles, posts not sealed, probes
+  reachable, props on-grid. Add a room, add it to `LAYOUTS`, it gets checked.
+- Asset generation is `tools/gen/` — `assets.py` is the manifest (one entry per
+  sprite), `run_batch.py` walks it, resumable, `--workers N`. **Cloudflare Workers
+  AI first** (10k free neurons/day, resets 00:00 UTC), falling back to MODELBEAST
+  `flux_local` automatically when the day's allocation is spent. Meshes use the
+  **512 tier + vertex baker** (`mb.FAST_MESH`): ~90s vs ~6min, and the difference
+  does not survive the downscale to 32px. Heartbeat: `~/.jobs/not-tonight-assets.json`.
+- `props_import.py` takes its sizes FROM `tools/gen/assets.py`, so sizes cannot
+  drift between the farm and the game. It locks `manifest.json` — parallel imports
+  used to lose entries to a read-modify-write race, which shows up as a prop that
+  is on disk but renders as a placeholder. `tools/gen/rebuild_manifest.py` repairs.

+# NOT TONIGHT — Character, Scenario & Interaction Backlog
+
+*The idea shelf. Everything here obeys §4.3: choices cost something real, the
+game never grades them, and the humane option is never secretly optimal.
+Status: ✅ implemented · 🔜 next nibbles · 💡 backlog.*
+
+## Interactions & mini-systems
+
+- ✅ **The joint bust** (smoking yard). E on a smoker who smells herbal → three
+  verbs, none of them clean: **BIN IT** (by the book — write-up in the truth
+  log, smoker's night dampened), **POCKET IT** (the game's first corruption
+  verb — nothing happens now; maybe a Dazza sting later; and it sits in the
+  incident log waiting for the report form, where your account of it can be a
+  lie the audit remembers), **DIDN'T SEE IT** (the yard relaxes, vibe drifts
+  up… and it's still on the record as ignored). 'joint' is real contraband, so
+  it also turns up in pat-downs at the rope.
+- ✅ **The glassie run** (the glassie role's fantasy, previewed as a floor
+  task). A wire rack of glasses appears at the bar's east end; carry it the
+  length of the venue to the kitchen dishwasher. Crowd bumps and sharp turns
+  build WOBBLE; wobble breaks glasses one smash at a time. Deliver what
+  survives for vibe. Racks keep coming. The door is unattended while you do it
+  — Kayden is thrilled.
+- ✅ **ID passback detection** (2026-07-20): the same card twice in one night — the name on
+  the guest-list clipboard you already checked; second appearance of an
+  identical card = passback. Needs a "cards seen tonight" memory at the desk.
+- ✅ **Regular step-up lines** (2026-07-20) keyed off timesDeniedBefore ("back again. new
+  moustache. no hard feelings").
+- ✅ **Smoking-door slip-in** (2026-07-20) (FLOOR2 §2's second noStamp source).
+- ✅ **The 1:30 lockout** (2026-07-20) (deeply Queensland): after 1:30 AM, admissions are
+  ILLEGAL. The queue still forms; Dazza still wants bodies; every post-lockout
+  admit is a guaranteed strike risk vs a rioting line. A whole late-game phase
+  in one law.
+- ✅ **Vomit protocol** (2026-07-20): someone redecorates the dance floor → deploy the wet
+  floor sign (we own the prop) → slips if you dawdle; the glassie mop loop.
+- ✅ **Phone confiscation** (2026-07-20): someone filming on the dance floor — the
+  influencer's revenge arc.
+- ✅ **Water station duty** (2026-07-20) (RSA): press a cup on a `loose` patron; done right
+  it de-escalates the ripen timer. The humane tool that costs time.
+- ✅ **First aid** (2026-07-20): a fainter. Recovery position via a QTE that is deliberately
+  NOT funny; the room hushes; the night resumes changed.
+- ✅ **Kebab run** (2026-07-20): Dazza demands a kebab mid-slam. The shop is right there.
+  The queue can see you. The whole game in one errand.
+
+## Characters (door archetypes & scripted people)
+
+- ✅ **The off-duty cop** (2026-07-20) — flashes a badge at the rope. Real cop (deny freely,
+  he respects it; admit and he quietly reports the venue's breaches — a
+  walking inspector) or a $30 costume badge (the tells: hat, confidence,
+  wrong lanyard). The ID game's scariest bluff.
+- ✅ **The celebrity incognito** (2026-07-20) — cap + sunnies (two live rule breaches!).
+  Deny: nothing happens, ever, and Dazza never finds out who. Admit: vibe
+  rocket OR pap swarm outside (aggro storm). You cannot know which.
+- ✅ **The twins** (2026-07-20) — two people, one face, different names. Not a fake:
+  genuinely twins. Everything about the photo check is suddenly on trial.
+- ✅ **The sovereign citizen** (2026-07-20) — "I don't recognise your dress code as having
+  authority over my person." Aggro engine in a polo. His ID is a laminated
+  business card.
+- ✅ **The delivery rider** (2026-07-20) — insists the DJ ordered food. The DJ did not
+  order food. OR DID HE. (The booth lamp flickers hungrily.)
+- ✅ **The promoter** (2026-07-20) — arrives with a roll of wristbands and 'his' guest list
+  that doesn't match yours. Two clipboards enter, one leaves.
+- ✅ **The noise-complaint neighbour** (2026-07-20) — pyjamas, at the rope, at 1 AM, not
+  trying to get in: trying to get it turned DOWN. The only patron who wants
+  less club. Handle him badly and the inspector hears about it.
+- ✅ **The hen's party, lost** (2026-07-20) — seven matching sashes, wrong venue, right
+  energy. Admitting them is a vibe grenade with a random timer.
+- ✅ **The ex-doorman** (2026-07-20) — watches you work a patron, then tells you what you
+  missed (a live tutorial character; his tips are right ~80% of the time,
+  which is the joke).
+
+## Systems worth a whole phase
+
+- ✅ **Venue 4 / ROOM boss week** (2026-07-21, first cut): fourth rung on the
+  ladder (promotes from Elevate). No Dazza rule chronology — the board IS the
+  law and re-randomises every 15 in-game minutes (3 rules per window, seeded,
+  with a toast on the turn); every rope line renders as bracketed lip-read
+  guesses (`[FIST? LIST?]`) because the techno ate the dialogue. 60 licensed,
+  1.2 arrival scale, inspector working, crowd of heads and VIP-claimers.
+- ✅ **The DJ shift** (2026-07-20, first cut): E at the booth hands you the decks
+  while the resident steps out. B pulls the bass (the room leans in); SPACE
+  drops, judged against the LIVE bar line (clean/late/clang — early and late
+  are the same offence); requests arrive at the booth glass with per-request
+  odds ("got any dnb", nan's song, the DUN DUN one) and three answers that all
+  cost something. A build held too long runs out of stairs. Movement locks
+  while you hold them; the floor and the door keep happening without you.
+- ✅ **Bartender shift** (2026-07-21, first cut): E at the till hands you the
+  taps (movement locks; the floor keeps happening). Orders arrive as choices —
+  the order line degrades with the patron's stage (the spelling IS the sobriety
+  test) — SERVE / WATER / CUT OFF all legal, all priced. Serving messy/maggot
+  is the RSA breach: the vibe pays up front, and 35% of the time somebody with
+  a lanyard saw it (ONE deferred write-up per night, deduped by reason).

+# NOT TONIGHT — Spaces Plan
+
+*How the game's two spaces grow from readable-but-abstract into places, using the
+fleet's asset factories. Written 2026-07-20. Code contract: everything lands
+behind data tables (`venueMap.PROPS` / `LIGHTS`) and a sprite drop-in convention —
+generated art replaces placeholders with zero code changes.*
+
+> **Superseded in part, 2026-07-28 — see [VENUES.md](VENUES.md).** This document
+> describes ONE venue floor, which is what the game had when it was written. The
+> venue ladder now has four distinct rooms, and props/lights/posts/probes hang
+> off a per-venue `FloorLayout` rather than the module singletons named below.
+> The pipeline sections (§4 sprite drop-in, and the settled prop pipeline at the
+> foot of this file) are still exactly right and still the house rules — only
+> "the venue floor" in §2 is now specifically *Voltage's* floor.
+
+## 1. Design principles
+
+1. **Darkness stays the mechanic.** Props read as silhouettes in ambient dark and
+   resolve under the torch. Nothing may make the room bright enough to scan from
+   the doorway.
+2. **Navigate by light signature.** Each zone owns a colour of light, so the
+   player orients by glow before geometry: bar = warm amber · dance floor =
+   pulsing pink (on the actual beat) · DJ booth = deep blue · toilets =
+   flickering green fluoro · smoking yard = cool rain-blue spill · entry/exit =
+   venue pink. The torch is white; UV is purple. No other light sources.
+3. **Props are data.** `PropDef { kind, tile pos, footprint, emissive? }` — the
+   renderer prefers a generated texture (`gen:prop:<kind>`) and falls back to a
+   procedural placeholder, so the game is complete TONIGHT and gets prettier as
+   art lands.
+4. **Spaces anticipate the role ladder** (design §6): the bar interior is laid
+   out for a future bartender shift, the DJ booth for the DJ shift, the glassie
+   station and smoking yard for floor loops that already have lanes speccing them.
+

+Zone-by-zone (tile coords in `venueMap.ts`):
+
+| Zone | What's there (props) | Light signature | Future role hook |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Bar** (north run) | back-bar shelf (emissive), 3 beer taps, till, glass stacks | steady amber pools along the shelf | Bartender shift: the serving lane between bar tiles and shelf is already unwalkable-to-patrons |
+| **Dance floor** (centre) | 4 corner speaker stacks, disco ball (centre), floor grid cells | pink grid cells pulse ON `beat:tick`; ball throws a slow-rotating glint | DJ role reads crowd here |
+| **DJ booth** (east of dance, sealed box facing the floor) | 2 decks + mixer (from the 90sDJsim gear GLBs!), booth monitor, lamp | deep blue wash + VU flicker | The DJ shift's playable pocket |
+| **Booths** (south + east walls) | table per booth pair, candle | tiny warm candle pools | — |
+| **Dunnies** (NE walled room) | sink row + mirror on west wall, hand dryer | green fluoro, FLICKERS (torch almost redundant inside — deliberate) | — |
+| **Smoking yard** (SW walled pocket, open sky) | butt bin, milk crate seats, fence | cool blue outdoor spill + rain particles INSIDE the yard | FLOOR2's smoking loop (specced) |
+| **Entry corridor** (west) | poster wall (3 art slots — MODELBEAST posters!), cloakroom window, stamp podium | venue-pink spill from the door | UV re-entry checks happen here |
+| **Glassie station** (bar's west end alcove) | glass racks, tub trolley | dim amber | Glassie role's home base |
+
+Sim impact: walkability only changes where NEW walls go (DJ booth box, yard
+fence, sink row). All existing anchors keep working; reachability is asserted in
+tests. The yard gets a `smoke` anchor upgrade so wanderers actually go out for one.
+
+## 3. The door street (640×360 tableau)
+
+Already reads well. Two upgrades, both drop-in images (no layout change):
+1. **Backdrop plate** behind the existing rects: one wide pixel-art street wall
+   (brick, posters, grime) — swaps in as `gen:street:backdrop` when generated.
+2. **Kebab shop interior glow card** in its window + rotating poster art in two
+   street frames (same poster slots as the entry corridor).
+
+## 4. The sprite drop-in contract (how John's art lands)
+
+- Drop processed PNGs in **`public/props/`** named `<kind>.png` and list them in
+  **`public/props/manifest.json`** (`{"props": ["deck", "speaker", ...]}`).
+- The floor loads the manifest at boot; anything listed replaces its placeholder
+  (texture key `gen:prop:<kind>`). Missing = placeholder. No code changes.
+- **`tools/props_import.py`** (PIL, runs anywhere with python3+PIL — ultra has it)
+  takes raw generated images → target pixel size + palette quantise + transparent
+  background → writes `public/props/` + updates the manifest:
+  `python3 tools/props_import.py incoming/deck_raw.png deck`
+- Target sizes are in the script (`TARGETS`): hero props 48–64 px, furniture
+  24–32 px, small items 16 px. It refuses unknown kinds so typos can't ship.
+
+## 5. GENERATION QUEUE — John's list (in priority order)
+
+Pipelines: **[MB]** = MODELBEAST `flux_local` (params given) → drop raw output in
+`art_incoming/`, run the import script (or hand me the raws — either works).
+**[GLB]** = Blender ortho prerender of an existing fleet mesh (camera: orthographic,
+top-down 90° for floor props / front 0° for the street, transparent film, ~512px,
+neutral even lighting) → same import path.

+dolls entirely per docs/ASSETS.md §2. Wants its own session to set the
+palette/density once.
+
+*(flux params for all [MB] jobs: `model flux2-klein-4b, steps 4`; put "no text,
+no lettering" in every prompt EXCEPT the posters, where mangled text reads as
+authentic gig-poster grot.)*
+
+
+## Prop pipeline — settled 2026-07-22 (A/B'd, not guessed)
+
+Two routes, both free and unlimited on MODELBEAST. Pick by object, not by habit.
+
+**[MB] flux direct** — `flux_local` → `tools/props_import.py`. Fast (~9s).
+Use for FLAT things: posters, decals, graffiti, signage, floor markings.
+
+**[GLB] TRELLIS → Blender** — `flux_local` (product shot) → `trellis2_mlx`
+(`asset_id` is a TOP-LEVEL job field, NOT inside `params`) → 
+`tools/glb_to_sprite.py <mesh.glb> <kind>` → sprite + manifest, headless, no
+GUI. Use for objects with real VOLUME: tables, fridges, machines, furniture.
+
+Why the split, from the A/B (same pool table, both routes): flux picks its own
+camera every generation — the same prompt style gave a perfectly top-down
+urinal and a front-on fridge in one batch, and mismatched camera angles never
+read as one room. The mesh route renders every prop from one fixed ortho
+camera, and TRELLIS carries detail flux flattens: worn felt, real pockets,
+rails and legs, clean alpha.
+
+**RAKE by object HEIGHT — and I had this backwards first time.**
+Low and wide (pool table, booth table, crate): **60°**. Tall (arcade, fridge,
+speaker, anything standing): **~76°**. The instinct to *lower* the rake for tall
+objects "so you see more face" is wrong — a tall object already shows nothing
+but face; it needs to be steeper to read as a floor prop at all. A speaker at
+55° is a featureless black slab.
+
+**Judge sprites at SHIP size, not render size.** A 512px render of a fridge from
+above looks ambiguous; the same sprite at 32x32 under the game's own point light
+reads fine, because the venue's LIGHTS do half the identifying work (the fridges
+carry a cyan glow, the arcade a flickering blue). Do not re-roll a prop off the
+back of the big preview.
+
+**The old guidance, kept because it is still true for low objects:** The venue's props are
+three-quarter top-down, not straight down. Re-rolled from directly overhead, a
+bar fridge is a grey rectangle — physically correct and visually dead, because
+the glowing bottles that say "fridge" are on its front. 60° keeps the top
+surface dominant while leaving enough face to identify the object at 32px.

+# NOT TONIGHT — the four venues
+
+*Written 2026-07-28. The venue ladder in `src/data/venues.ts` has always been
+four venues; up to now they shared ONE floor map and differed only by difficulty
+knobs. This document is the design contract for giving each its own room.*
+
+## 0. Why bother
+
+Design §6 sells the ladder as *promotion* — survive a week, get a better door.
+But a promotion you cannot see is a number, not a reward. Walking into Elevate
+and finding The Royal's carpet under your feet undoes the fiction the whole run
+is built on. Each venue now has its own bar layout, its own dunnies, its own
+smoking area and its own DJ booth, because those four things are exactly what a
+bouncer actually learns about a room.
+
+## 1. Shared contract (all four)
+
+- **Grid is fixed at 80×45 tiles.** Venues differ by ARRANGEMENT, not extent —
+  the camera, minimap and bounds maths all key off `MAP_W`/`MAP_H`, and a
+  per-venue grid size would be a refactor with no visible payoff. A small venue
+  reads small by walling its unused grid to `void`, not by shrinking the array.
+- **Every layout exports a `FloorLayout`**: `{ id, map, props, lights, posts,
+  probes }`. Nothing else may be a module singleton — that was the old shape and
+  it is what made four venues impossible.
+- **Every layout must satisfy the same invariants** (`tests/floor/layouts.test.ts`):
+  1. every `AnchorKind` has ≥1 anchor, and every anchor is walkable;
+  2. all walkable tiles are mutually reachable (flood fill), except sealed
+     cubicle interiors, which must be reachable from their `StallDef.door`;
+  3. every `POSTS` entry is walkable and has a walkable neighbour (a post on a
+     sealed tile freezes the player for the night — this has shipped twice);
+  4. every `PROBES` entry has a walkable tile within reach;
+  5. no prop hangs off the grid.
+- **Materials are grain, the palette is hue.** `FloorLayout.materials` names a
+  generated plate per tile kind (`tex_carpet`, `tex_concrete`, …) and the baker
+  stamps it **tinted to the palette colour**. That is deliberate: an untinted
+  photo-real plate blows straight past the brightness band everything else was
+  tuned in, and the room stops being dark. Plates are 16×16 — the game's tile —
+  because at that size "carpet" is structured noise, which is also what pub
+  carpet looks like from head height. No plate named, or art not landed: flat
+  palette colour, exactly as before.
+- **The baked floor is keyed per venue** (`floor:tiles:<id>`). Textures outlive a
+  scene, so a single global key meant the first venue you played baked the floor
+  for every venue after it — you would survive a week at The Royal, get promoted,
+  and walk into Voltage still standing on the pub's carpet. It only shows on
+  promotion, which is precisely when the ladder is supposed to pay off.
+- **Light signatures survive** (SPACES.md §1): bar = amber, dance = pulsing
+  pink on the real beat, DJ = deep blue, toilets = flickering green, smoking =
+  cool blue, entry = venue pink. A venue may add ONE signature colour of its
+  own — Elevate's skyline gold, ROOM's sodium orange — and no more, or the
+  navigate-by-glow rule stops working.
+- **Darkness stays the mechanic.** No venue may be bright enough to scan from
+  the doorway.
+
+## 2. The Royal — "a dive with a dance floor"
+
+Licensed 80 · regulars and punters · nobody checks anything.
+
+A suburban Australian pub that had a dance floor bolted on in about 2004 and has
+not redecorated since. Patterned carpet, a horseshoe public bar, and the dance
+floor is plainly the least important thing in the building.
+
+| Space | What's in it |
+|---|---|
+| **Public bar** (horseshoe, west) | the long counter, taps, till, keg stack, a TV showing the footy, bar fridges |
+| **Pool room** (north-west) | two pool tables, cue rack, a dartboard on the wall |
+| **TAB / pokies corner** (north-east) | bank of poker machines, TAB screens, stools, its own miserable light |
+| **Bistro** (centre-north) | bistro tables, bain-marie counter, the meat-raffle drum |
+| **Dance floor** (south-east) | small, an afterthought, one mirror ball, a jukebox on the wall |
+| **DJ corner** | not a booth — a folding table with a controller, beside the dance floor |
+| **Dunnies** (east) | a stainless TROUGH, two cubicles (one out of order), one basin |
+| **Beer garden** (south, open sky) | picnic tables, umbrellas, patio heater, butt bin — the smoking area, and the nicest room in the pub |
+
+Light: warm amber everywhere, green cone over each pool table, the pokies' own
+sickly blue, and the beer garden cool blue. No pink except the dance corner.
+
+## 3. Voltage — "valley institution"
+
+Licensed 110 · the tuning baseline · the inspector drinks here.
+
+**This is the existing map and it does not change.** It is tuned under the
+darkness sheet, its reachability is asserted, and every existing floor test
+targets it. It stays the default layout and the reference for the other three.
+
+## 4. Elevate — "rooftop, small room, big opinions"
+
+Licensed 70 · influencers and owner's mates · every second person is a VIP.
+
+The whole venue is outdoors, which makes the rain a design element rather than a
+yard-only effect. Small footprint — a third of the grid is sky. You arrive by
+lift, not off the street, so the entry is a lobby.
+
+| Space | What's in it |
+|---|---|
+| **Lift lobby** (west) | lift doors, a rope line, the stamp podium, one mirror |
+| **Cocktail bar** (north) | short backlit bar, no taps — bottles and a champagne bucket |
+| **VIP booths** (east) | banquettes behind velvet rope posts, low tables |
+| **Dance floor** (centre, small) | it is a terrace with a dance floor, not a club |
+| **DJ plinth** | raised, open, no booth walls — the DJ is on display |
+| **Toilets** (north-east) | two unisex cubicles, marble basin, enormous mirror |
+| **Terrace edge** (south + east) | glass balustrade, planters, the city skyline beyond |
+| **Smoking** | the whole roof is open air; a designated corner with a standing ash urn and heat lamps |
+
+Light: warm amber bar, cool blue-white terrace, deep blue DJ, and the venue's
+own signature — **skyline gold** spilling from the city card beyond the glass.
+
+## 5. ROOM — "no sign, no socials"
+
+Licensed 60 · heads and chancers · the board is the law.
+
+A concrete warehouse. No branding anywhere, because branding is how you get
+found. The sound system is the most expensive thing in the building by an order
+of magnitude and everything else is borrowed.
+
+| Space | What's in it |
+|---|---|
+| **Main floor** | concrete pillars, no booths, the crowd is the furniture |
+| **The stacks** | Funktion-One-style speaker towers + subs — huge, four corners |
+| **DJ booth** | low, central, facing the floor, no barrier — CDJs not turntables |
+| **Bar** (west) | a plywood plank on scaffolding, cans only, no taps, no till |
+| **Toilets** (north-east) | industrial, graffiti on every surface, three cubicles of which one works, a cracked basin, no mirror |
+| **Loading dock** (south, open sky) | roller door, pallets, a wheelie bin — this is the smoking area |
+| **Chill-out** (north-west) | two ruined couches under a single bulb |
+| **The board** | the rule board that rewrites itself (`shuffleDressCode`) — a physical prop by the entry |
+
+Light: almost none. Sodium orange over the loading dock (ROOM's signature),
+one flickering green fluoro in the dunnies, strobes on the floor, and the
+stacks' own power LEDs. This is the darkest venue in the game on purpose.
+
+## 6. Prop vocabulary added for these rooms
+
+Route per SPACES.md §"Prop pipeline": **[F]** = flux direct (flat things —
+signage, boards, screens, backdrops); **[M]** = product shot → TRELLIS.2 →
+Blender ortho render (things with volume). Rake follows the house rule —
+**60° low and wide, ~76° tall**.
+
+| Venue | Kinds |
+|---|---|
+| The Royal | `pokie`[M76] `tabBoard`[F] `bistroTable`[M60] `picnicTable`[M60] `trough`[M70] `keg`[M76] `dartboard`[F] `jukebox`[M76] `raffleDrum`[M60] `bainMarie`[M60] `tvSport`[F] `beerUmbrella`[M80] `ashtray`[M60] |
+| Elevate | `cocktailBar`[M60] `banquette`[M60] `ropePost`[M76] `planter`[M60] `balustrade`[M76] `djPlinth`[M60] `marbleSink`[M70] `ashUrn`[M76] `champBucket`[M60] `loungeChair`[M60] `liftDoor`[F] `skylineCard`[F] |
+| ROOM | `stackF1`[M76] `subBass`[M60] `plywoodBar`[M60] `rollerDoor`[F] `pallet`[M60] `wheelieBin`[M76] `oldCouch`[M60] `pillar`[M76] `ruleBoard`[F] `strobe`[M76] `smokeMachine`[M60] `cableSnake`[M60] `brokenBasin`[M70] `canStack`[M60] `cdj`[M60] |
+| Staff (set dressing, all venues) | `staffBartender` `staffDj` `staffGlassie` `staffSecurity` — all [M76] |
+
+Staff figures are PROPS, not patrons. The procedural dolls stay exactly as they
+are: `dollPlan` draws the specific items the dress code convicts on, so
+replacing patrons with pre-rendered art would make the convictions invisible
+(recorded in LANEHANDOVER, FABLE-SOLO-23). A bartender who never moves is set
+dressing and carries no mechanical weight, which is why she can be a sprite.
+
+Street plates (door scene, one per venue, [F], 640×176):
+`street:royal` `street:elevate` `street:room` — `street:backdrop` stays Voltage's.
