MRPGI is verified clean and in sync; all thirteen cases still pass against it. This pass closes the content gaps a sprite audit turned up — several generated sprites were never placed, and each one was a missing film beat. - Case Seven now opens in BEIRUT, as the film does: four days at the back of a summit of the six least popular men on earth, holding a glass of water, which is where a Los Angeles shipping company with two hundred and six ships gets named out loud. Added as room6 with start_room pointed at it, so nothing renumbered. Case is now 140 points across seven rooms. The despots are generic fictional strongmen rather than caricatures of real heads of state. - Case Ten: the P.L.O.T. Device itself now appears — the title object of the case had never once been on screen — plus Cane's self-driving car, which refuses the destination and plays an advertisement before the paperclip intervenes. - Case Six: Danny Cavanaugh's publicity still, captioned in his own hand, "DANNY CAVANAUGH — AVAILABLE." - Case Eight: Hector Savage's fire hose, and Meinheimer's own wheelchair. - Case Nine: Tanya Peters and the clinic on Wilshire (Frank is DONOR OF THE QUARTER; there is a plaque; his wife has not seen it). - Case 00b: the Professor's four-foot diagram, admitted as Exhibit 1 over a defence objection that it is prejudicial, which the judge agrees it is. ZAZ's own earlier films go in as texture, not cases (DESIGN §10): Airplane!'s "don't call me Shirley" in Case Five, the escalating "wrong week to quit" across four rooms of Case Eight, the drink poured into his own face, and Otto the inflatable partner in Act III at forty per cent with no pump. Kentucky Fried Movie's news anchor who doesn't know he's on air (twice, 1988 and 2025) and Feel-A-Round at the Academy Awards, where the usher cannot move because he is the horse. Six name-shadowing blockers caught by the linter on the way in, including 'earpiece' swallowing 'plotdevice' and 'body' swallowing 'comedian'. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
