+## DEPLOYED LIVE 2026-07-22
+URL: https://monsterrobot.games/games/recordstoreguy/  (tile added to arcade landing, flagship slot)
+- Deploy: `./deploy.sh` (rsync engine/ → games VPS host path, read-only bind mount, no docker cp).
+- Covers: deploy-assets/recordstoreguy{,_riso}.jpg (from intro frame — Dez + Dead Wax tendrils).
+- Landing backup on server: index.html.bak-pre-rsg-20260722-023227
+- 3 TEMP stand-in clips (swap when queue delivers real footage, then re-run deploy.sh):
+  needle_skip.mp4 = black 1.2s; t5s4_action.mp4 = copy of t5s3; t7s2_action.mp4 = copy of t7s1.
+- Verified live: game 200, all clips/covers 200, attract+gameplay play in-browser, 0 console errors.
+- FOLLOW-UP option: bare /recordstoreguy/ vanity URL needs nginx/mount work (currently soft-404 → lander).
