Act I, monochrome. Five rooms, 100 points, verified at 100/100 with four verified deaths. Built out of John's Police Quest material. PQ1's famous 8-bit integer underflow is not an easter egg here, it is the central puzzle: Frank signs for a $40 operational float clipped to a note reading DO NOT EXCEED YOUR FLOAT, the back room costs $2,500, and exceeding the float by one dollar wraps the department ledger's eight-bit field to 255 — the terminal appends the cents column and authorises $2,550.00. He keeps drinking to 132 because it will not do to stop suddenly. Accounts raise it in March; it goes to a hearing. PQ1's Gremlin runs through the whole case and is never resolved: chickens on the Captain's desk, on Al's shoulder, on the murdered guest star, and one in the winning freeze-frame. Nobody has said the word "chicken" out loud in eleven years. No file was ever opened. Then the stage: six memorised jokes, in order, and every "improvise" option is fatal — plus a full glass on a stool three feet from the microphone, which is how Danny Cavanaugh died and which you must not touch. Linter gained the rule that actually caused this session's bug: MRPGI's obj_matches is a BIDIRECTIONAL substring test over name AND synonyms, and match_obj takes the first hit in array order, so an earlier object can make a later one unreachable by its own name. `talk barman` was addressing `clubbar`. It found two more: `sideboard` swallowing `cardtable`, and `bouncer` swallowing `bunkerdoor` — the last of which shipped broken in Case Ten. All six cases lint clean and all six still win.
