   Commit message

   User: side sprites too small next to a normal astrocyte NPC, need
   tendrils that stick out. Grown to the generic's 54 px width by column/row
   duplication (no resampling), two outlined processes in their own colours.
   Blind round: LOW. Study rebuilt; anchors follow the grown base.

    - bend-and-leak (t2): connections 0.5 / 0.6, f1 severe.
    - warning-signs (t3): one severe east front on a round's warning (surges alone let the

    - leak-and-call (t3): connections 0.8 (at full function the novice cleared as Sentinel).
    - quiet-bend: tier 1. The novice clears it with the bonus whatever the fronts do (lead 1,
      severe, an extra front, lower function, earlier surge, a shorter deadline), and its
      lesson is the gentle one. Tiers now 6/4/5.

    Commit message

    VFX Astro: fully open, the pore is 10 rows tall on a 24 x 20 square, so it is
    centred one row above the foot ([12, 15]) to keep its rim on the tile. Link's
    astro spec now carries that root (OPENING_LIFT = 1), so the process act.js
    draws on B's page stands in the pore. A host's ctx.astroRoot(tile) wins.

    Commit message

    The rope (claude/microglia-motion d1c281659) is pinned byte for byte; PROVENANCE
    lists the new blob ids and sha256. Link's spec now carries cellH and foot, so the
    rope alone roots the process on the foot row (16 of 20).
    
    The open pore cannot be centred there: after the 24 x 20 squash it spans 5 rows up
    and 4 down, so on row 16 its rim would reach row 20, the next tile. So the pore stays
    on row 15 and the module keeps passing spec.root at the pore centre (comment and doc
    updated). New unit test at 24 x 20 and 48 x 40 (B's ctx foot [12, 16] and the
    fallback): spec carries cellH/foot, spec.root and the process's first bead are the
    pore centre. On B's page the pinned act.js still draws the process from its own
    plan (no root), 1 px below the pore centre.

    Commit message

    The rope (claude/microglia-motion d1c281659) is pinned byte for byte under
    care-turns-rope/ with its new pixels.js and astro_rope.js imports; PROVENANCE lists
    blob ids and sha256. Trim is now the rope's own verb (one process on the engulf
    clip, `carry` on its tip), so ropeMarks no longer plays it as Tend, and it passes
    ctx.foot to plan().
    
    propAt: the carry starts at the target's FOOT POINT, so the offset is measured from
    it (plan().foot, else ctx.foot, else [cellW/2, cellH/2 + round(0.31 cellH)]) and
    mapped per axis with plan().cellW / cellH. Before, it measured from the tile centre,
    so a held piece read 6 native px (12 screen) too low on 24 x 20. New unit test at
    24 x 20 and 48 x 40: the piece starts exactly on the foot; the real rope's first
    carry is within 0.5 native px of it.

    Commit message

    General's brief makes the approved shell art the ground truth. Room building's second
    blind read found small painted features off the layout holes (Border Walk's stem, Root
    Hollow's rock, the Pressure Front knot, Warning Signs' pits).
    - tests/expeditions/board-floor.py reads claude/environment-art 8742b7cf
      ground-pass/<shell>.png from the Git store (alpha >= 128 is painted floor; dips already
      cleared) and writes src/expeditions/layouts/board-floor.js: each 24x20 square's floor
      share and centre flag, per shell, with blob ids.
    - board.js: for a shell with a pass, a square is playable when inside the layout's outer
      floor outline (no holes), mostly painted floor (FLOOR_SHARE 0.6, centre floor), or on a
      door's way in; only the field reached from the first door is kept. Other shells keep
      the polygon rule. BOARD_RULES 'cell24x20-floor60-painted1-corners1'.
    - Border Walk (12,5), (12,6) and Root Hollow (4,5) now block; rocks shrink to their paint;
      the Quiet Ford pond and Warning Signs pits follow their painted dips. Every board is one
      field; every authored tile is on the floor; a test pins these.
    - The Long Tract: the OPC back at two rows below the tract (12,9), so the room again needs
      Process (the re-tile had put it three rows below and freed its lines).
    - Stitched-room verdicts regenerated (94, hash 20f0d6c6).
    
    Suite: 296/300 before the Long Tract fix (now passing); the rest are the stale shuffle
    tables (forge running) and the Hearth verdicts (fork 2).

      (0.6) of its area is, sampled every 4 px, replacing "open within a body radius of the
      centre". Room building's blind read of the 24x20 ground passes found blocked boxes larger
      than their objects; measured on the 16 shells, the old rule blocked 353 mostly-bare

      the floor. BOARD_RULES 'cell24x20-floor60-corners1'.

    User (2 Nov) picked ground squares, 24 x 20 px under the 57 degree camera, and
    asked for "an actual grid, with a heavier outest border, not the impression of
    a grid". grid.js gains gridLines (every walkable tile's edges; the playable
    area's outline, holes included, as the border) and paintGrid (lines at the
    art's own px, tinted from the ground under them, never black, no light fade;
    an optional ground-pass alpha hides lines behind standing objects). play.js
    draws tiles at TW 48 x TH 40, caches the ground and grid per room, passes
    TW/TH/cellW/cellH/origin to the VFX modules (VFX's contract), marks a hovered
    blocked square and shakes it when a click there is refused. Also loads the
    Tracts frames through a plain base: Vite's glob rewrite missed the sub-folders.

    Commit message

    The user picked ground squares 24×20 (2 Nov, via General). hearth-map.js derives COLS/ROWS from
    the layout and CELL_W/CELL_H, keeps each crop's screen window (old row × 24/20, rounded), and
    measures every footprint clearance on the ground (a screen dy is dy / (CELL_H / CELL_W) there).
    Drops, clumps and fall slots are placed at the line tile nearest a world point, so they follow
    the grid instead of counting tiles. board.js is main A's; the verdict table follows separately.

    Commit message

    Claude A's forge on the fixed bots: the Tracts novice is a script, so each seed is all-or-nothing
    per class. A tier-2 seed it clears in every class is too easy, because it always tidies and so
    always gets the bonus. So an accepted tier-2 seed fails half its runs (a class split) or all of
    them, and 30-60% was out of reach.
    - Tier 2 is now 50-85%: at least about a third of a pool must split the classes.
    - Tier 3 is now 60-100%, like the Gardens' 85-100%: an all-fail pool is allowed for rooms both
      kits play the same way.
    Doc 31 Bands by location records why. Skills tests pass.

     - score(): a room's own value is added to the connection terms, as Claude A's solver does.
       Before, it replaced them, so in Vessel rooms both bots were blind to connection function, and
       Hearth rooms saw it only through the value's lighter line terms (main B found it). The Gardens
       (no value) and the Tracts (no connections) are unchanged.
     - The beam only: -0.1 per tile to the nearest connection whose response still lingers, in rooms
       scored by their own value. This fixes the Warden expert missing After the Storm and The Long
       Evening (A fork 2): equal Ward plans crowded out the walk to the far line. The novice is
       untouched.
     - Re-measured (SIMULATION; widths 16, 32, then 64) on Vessel (a95c8ef7) and on Hearth (A fork
       2's geometry-fix working tree):
       - Vessel tiers 2 and 3 are mostly too easy for the sighted novice.
       - Hearth base: tier 1 in band; tier 2 accepts every board, with the novice 1 point under 70%.
       - Overreacted leaf-fall, rosette-surge and surge-west are too hard, so they are disallowed.

     - Expert pick rates for every upgrade, Imprint and Workshop tool. 51 rooms per class:
       Gardens, Vessel, Tracts (a95c8ef7) and the 20 Hearth boards (cd7b683e). Strict and
       tolerant counts (loadout-picks.mjs: under 1 score point is a tie, because beam search noise
       moved strict picks). Highest overall, tolerant: 29%; strict: 35%.
     - Tuned: Long Anchor pulls to 5 (42% strict at 6). Light Membrane's −1 Composure and
       Within Reach's +15% were tuned in 64846fe7.

     Commit message

     General's call (2 Nov), keeping the user's rule of a grid on walkable tiles only. Room building's
     blind review of the Hearth board art found that a blocked tile surrounded by walkable ones looked
     gridded: its neighbours' per-tile outlines boxed it in, so buildings didn't read as blocking.
     
     - grid.js gridEdges(cols, rows, passable): each edge shared by two walkable tiles, plus a walkable
       tile's edge on the border, once. play.js draws them as single half-pixel lines; the colour and
       opacity (rgba(44,70,55,0.4)) are unchanged.
     - Checked:
       - a unit test (a blocked centre and a blocked corner);
       - all 20 Hearth crops (A fork 2, cd7b683e) and the 3 Gardens shells: 0 drawn edges touch a
         blocked tile, and none borders a blocked tile enclosed on all four sides;
       - pixels: the 3 px ring round an enclosed blocked tile went from 108/324 grid pixels to 23/324,
         which are only the perpendicular walkable lines that meet it;
       - the prototype page (First Steps).

     - Fixed what the real facts showed: the goal box and last-round card said the Gardens 80% target;
       Hearth gauges now mark the 50% bonus floor only where the bonus uses it; settle squares and two
       type cards no longer mention the target or the removed flag; the handoff arrow follows `types`.
     - Strain: the first type chip's card says the board overreacted and scorch costs 2 moves.

       Warden, which was segment-lost at width 32.

     A suspended candidate, kept as the brief for a 3D rebuild. The user suspended the
     Threadway injury on 31 Oct 2026 until Threadway was fully built. Threadway is now a
     live 3D scene with a moving camera, so these flat overlays won't ship as they are.
     The proposed rebuild uses switchable state collections in the scene.
     
     - threadway_states.py builds the overlay pieces on render p23 at the Studios crossing
       (x ~690-745), plus a manifest and 512x288 previews. Every pixel is checked against
       p23's own palette.
     - States: intact, ruptured (chasm, slumped podium west end, lights out, STARWELL
       sign askew) and recovering (plank walk, shores, hoarding, half light).
     - Changed area in the 512x288 camera view: 62% / 54% / 38% for intact->ruptured,
       ruptured->recovering and intact->recovering. Three blind tests with an identical
       control pair all passed.

     Claude B's Hearth strain (220886dc, doc 30 §8.1): an overreaction leaves a 2-tile scorch
     beside the struck line, fading one tile per return. Modelled in a clean scene with H15's
     camera, late sun and field material (as Threadway's potholes); quantised to B08. One piece
     set serves board and overworld, since Hearth boards are 1:1 crops of H15. Three blind

     Commit message

     - Services v3 gains strain {level 0..4, marks}. strainReturn eases 1 (2 if you stayed
       home), then adds 1 per stretch, 1 per gap (2 when that return's disturbance hits
       its line) and 1 per frazzled resident, with one clamp. strainPreview shows the
       departure delta and the worst case.
     - At 4, disturbanceFacts flags an overreaction (one extra pressure front). No lockouts.
     - disturbancePlayed leaves a 2-tile scorch mark on an overreaction. It fades one tile
       per return, with at most 2 marks (a third replaces the oldest), and costs 2 moves to enter.
     - The calming visit now lowers stress and strain by 2 (never straight to 0). The new
       stress cause duty-covered applies to a resident holding someone else's duty while stretched.
     - v1 and v2 saves migrate (strain 0, no marks).
     - Docs: doc 30 §8.1 rules, science and fiction; doc 31 §12 and §22.6 updated. The model
       moved to analysis/home/hearth-strain-model.mjs and reproduces the approved numbers
       (MODEL: typical 0%, struggling 21%, rough 86% reach 4).

     pose facing the vessel (wall side north/south/west/east -> up/down/left/right) with its contact
     line. The ghost is the dashed outline of that pose; the gate keeps its cream ring round the sprite.

     Under reduced motion (no tweening), every move now shows its path in the frame the bead arrives:
     a 2-px dotted cream trail with a dark rim, plus a faint ghost where it left, held 400 ms and
     thinned away in two whole steps. The release draws the trail along the lumen from the gate;
     adhesion draws it along the lumen to the crossing, through the wall on its side, then along the
     floor tile route; hops and enters draw a short dotted link between the pips with the pip fill.

     User rejected clip 7: under reduced motion the mover vanished from its start
     tile and appeared on its end tile. The arrival still now also shows a 2-px
     dotted ink/cream trail along the real tile path and a faint ghost outline on
     the start tile; a drag's trail runs on to the puller's tile edge, a self-Pull's
     clamps sit on the trail. Held flow -> release, then the ghost goes and the
     trail fades in two whole steps. Same marks and total time; no tweened motion;
     paused stays frozen. The hub's temporary rope is a still under reduced motion.

     Commit message

     Blind round 1 fixes (coordinator's list): 10-px pale-lilac beads with a darker rim and a cream
     highlight (round, distinct from the painted coral dashes); fixed stations along the lumen ending at
     a gate, each surge at the station equal to its rounds left, one whole-step hop per End turn and a
     flash on reaching the gate; release = pop then stream; the adhesion ghost is a steady 2-px dashed
     bead off the grid line, it scatters when an aim breaks the coincidence and returns on un-aim; one
     stream bead stops nearest the wall, crosses and fills the ghost, and stays with two contact pads
     (no legs, no body); no flicker after landing.

     Wall targets carry side (where the vessel edge is) and adhered, and their condition once
     read. The adapter exposes the lumen's traffic paths as ordered solid tiles (lumenPaths), and
     each surge telegraph carries them as lumen (tiles stays empty: nothing on the floor is hit).
     A surge shown early by extraLead is flagged foresight, like the Gardens telegraphs.

     - Rope re-pinned (39d8c254: a standing process stays while its Link plays); smoke on B's
       d8505761 page: the process stays up in rounds 2-3, Link follows ctx.actPlan (contact 933 ms).
     - Supported AREA: a flat B08 tint (#a9b783) on every supported tile except B's grid outline,
       tufts on top; 5x5 vs Attune 7x7 now differ by whole tinted tiles. No ring, no outline.
     - The node: our pore is lavender (nothing darker than #5a5877); LINKED is rounded lobes + a bud,
       not spikes. The dark upright spine is the pinned drawAstro: request filed in astro.md.
     - Room end: the area recedes inward ring by ring (600 ms), lobes fold, the pore relaxes to its
       seam and every socket keeps its seam.
     - Aim: the predicted area (same tint, half coverage) on 'board' plus a socket bracket on 'top';
       the hub's dead hold cut to 1.4 s.
     - Hearth visit: the rope reaches the nearest resident; no "+" marks; residents ease
       (visitEase squash-and-settle); a moss patch stays at the seed (astro.moss).
     - Captures use grayscale text (no ClearType fringe). Linked-rounds pip: real round reset, noted.

     User review (2 Nov): "Not this time" removed (defer and decline are identical in the roster
     rules). In each pair (Pip covers / Leave gap, Solo / Bring Mote) the chosen button wears the
     sage frame and the other stays gold; row labels no longer repeat the choice in words.

     Commit message

     Pinned astro_rope/turn_tendrils/pixels/runtime/act from claude/microglia-motion cffce890
     (PROVENANCE.json); astro-rope.js deleted. astro-turns: opening timed from the act plan's
     astro marks (ctx.actPlan, falling back to the pinned plan when null), process stays up
     (LINK_ASTRO_STAYS), drawAstro in the hub, LINKED roots on the socket every round.
     Hearth visit: drawAstro one-shot from spec.root [420,248]. AS2 draws B's #2c4637 grid
     and the Ranger's touch rope.
     
     Where I stopped: unit tests mid-fix (2 failures: look.rope is null at OPEN_MS+100 in the
     "link step" test - the default spec's rope is not yet out then; adjust the test time to after spec.out).
     Next step: fix that test, add linked/grid/actPlan tests at T=24/32, run browser specs,
     re-capture clips (incl. a linked-across-rounds clip), smoke on claude/skills c53f80f8, update astro.md.

       wrap-1..3 hold, keep with keep-2 dither fade, or retract), corner-safe.

     Coordinator's decisions on blind round 4 (engulf 4, tend 4, process 3, trim 3, refusal 3,

     Composure readout. Inflamed: no flying piece; one segment on the bar, its real half filling
     bright and its lost half an empty brown-rust outline that shakes once (2 px); the study meter
     is no longer stress-orange. Trim: the input itself is dragged along the reach into the cell on
     Tend's path (new hook propAt). Process: clumps rise out of the cell and break down, then the
     squash. Aim: dark confirm corners from the first frame, a 2-px three-beat shake, red only under
     the cursor. 48/48 unit (24/32), 31/31 browser; five clips re-captured.

     - Prompt line: steps sharing a trigger show the newest two at most (MAX_LINES). The newest step's
       focus wins, and the other shown step's focus lights too (`also`): lesson 3 lights the goal
       strip and Fast Care. Room-event triggers (after:survey-reveals) work through the engine log.
     - The demo tutorial mirror and engine check are re-pinned to A's ad7fd6c9 and B's 8b79435b
       (26 rooms, 7839 checks, 0 failed). Demo scenes follow A's new step order.
     - On Claude A's proposal (STE: one meaning per word), "settle" is now only the Settle action. The
       goal strip and result screen say "targets" ("Rounds to reach targets", "Deadline: reach
       targets by here", "Connections protected", "Targets not reached in time"). Ids are unchanged.

     Round 1 (12 clips) mostly 2/5: successes read as absences and 1-px marks broke up at 24-px
     tiles. Fixes: a positive success shape (the target's corners spring outward and hold; green
     and wider on supported ground; half of them for an inflamed, halved restore, with the lost
     half as a rust box); every mark at least 2 px; Settle as a Composure gauge with a pop; a
     kinked broken tether and a dropping latch; slow drawn-in slides with a path chevron; the
     Care step capped near 1.1 s after contact. Round 2 (14 clips, B's grid on): fade/tend 4,
     seven at 3, trim/settle/engulf/refusal/order/inflamed 2, process 1; then pods carry taken
     clumps and Trim targets back to the cell (taken() lets hosts hide props), bigger Process
     pellets and Settle gauge, a shaking refused hover box. Binds B 35a29e8f's trim, process
     and debris-moved {by: 'engulf'}; Seal is not Care's. No hard-coded range. Both critiques

     User review of clips 33-55 (1 Nov):
     - Walk: a short trail of fading dots instead of the hop; Flow uses a sparser, shorter trail.
     - Build: no "Built" / "In use" words; a built tool's Fit / Take off button wears the sage
       slot frame (slot-built.png).
     - Home: pressing the Hearth podium raises three squares in the overworld above it (Imprint,
       invitation, run records); each opens its panel beside the podium. Podium art pinned.
     - Rest moves from Starwell to a proposed Apothecary row; Starwell keeps the endurance strip.
     - No words on the mock HUD: place chips, recruit ribbons, the Equipped line and record tags
       removed; endurance as pips; Coordinator chip as its class icon.

    The user chose smaller tiles (Room building's t13 sample approved). Boards are now 21×12
    tiles of 24 px with an 8 px decorative east strip. Every authored tile (starts,
    connections, sockets, jolt pads, inflamed ground, tutorial tiles) was re-placed by pixel
    position, so connections stay where Room building paints them. Claude B rescaled the kit
    by 4/3 to match (catalog 9c8adf7f, re-pinned byte-identical): movement 5, reach 3,
    supported radius 3, Survey 5, Ward range 4. The reference loop now reads B's pinned
    numbers. Line of effect refuses a diagonal step between two wall tiles, matching
    movement. Verdicts are stamped with board rules and the kit.

    - Rules (doc 31 §3, catalog text): a Ward holds back 60% of the harm to everything inside, never
      all; neurons and segments lose 40% as fast (fractions kept by the room); a Ward never lowers a
      unit's Composure loss. Stand Fast: the first hit on you costs no Composure, and the tile you
      stand on is warded. "Take no harm" is withdrawn as contradicting the user's 60% rule.
    - engine: ward-ticks event before Stand Fast releases; survey and survey-ribbon carry tile and tiles.
    - play.js: modules run in URL order; hover titles are read after the redraw; preview is called
      twice a frame (layer 'board' before units, 'top' after), also while aiming before any hover,

    Runtime: opt-in turn options, all off by default (the approved m003 reel is

     The user's review: no words anywhere in VFX, no dark popups, refusal = the box
     shakes, success = the slot lights up, corners on hover only. renderUi reduces every
     core and group UI cue to those four effects; world labels and outlined outcome glyphs
     are gone and a refused cell jitters. The light follows the HUD frames' cut corners.
     Mock HUD uses the HUD's parchment/slot nine-slices; talk box approved (no tail, text
     inset to the buttons). Equipped = lit slot frame (no tick tab, no bar under it).
     Overlays sit on exact boxes; hover is mouse-only. Specs rewritten to the new language.

     General: habitual Care could pass lesson-survey, breaking "the lesson is the only way

     against a quiet front only once a Survey has found it. The solver now clears the room

     The user could not tell how to play and asked for tutorial rooms. Eight hand-made rooms
     follow Claude B's lesson order (doc 31 sec. 16): move and end turn, reading warnings,
     protect then settle, fast vs recovery Care, Link and supported ground, Composure and
     Settle, the class action (Warden Ward, Sentinel Survey), and Before the Front as
     graduation. Each carries its goal line, step prompts and won/lost text, and a rule that
     makes the lesson the only way to succeed; tests check every room is clearable and that
     naive play only ever fails for a reason the room has taught. They are first in the
     prototype picker, with untaught actions hidden (B's engine gates them too).
     
     Building them exposed a real bug: a room could settle before its last threat resolved.
     Fixed with a resolved-round marker plus a regression test; A Quieter Return re-timed.

     numbers (fronts -40, inflamed 3x3, lingering only where unsupported, jolts, supported
     ground). 13 hand-made sections and 4 hand-made rooms; the assembler never alters a section
     and refuses crowded rounds, unreachable tiles, rooms the solver cannot clear solo with the
     base kit, and tier-1 rooms the novice cannot clear. A reference base-kit loop drives the
     solver until the lead pins B's engine; in a scratch check B's engine (0af7f8d6) replayed
     6/6 solver plans on this room with identical outcomes.

     - Pressed state everywhere: the hub sinks any HUD button on pointer-down/Enter/Space
       (rows without their own data-ref get the button's rect); first-slice scenarios
       press ~150 ms before their commit. Focus brackets now follow :focus-visible only.
     - Side-story completion plays "Story complete" (no claim ribbon); Imprint and drill
       unlocks play the quests group's once-only flourish.
     - Workshop build/fit/unfit and Depot repair route to the build group ("Built", not
       "Bought").
     - Hub: a scripted pause no longer leaks into the next study; the cue log scrolls its
       own panel instead of the page (a click could be lost); pointer handlers reset per study.

     Room half of the user's turn-based decision (Claude B writes the system half). Rooms
     become 32 px boards derived from the existing polygon rooms, with typed sockets;

     board-fit survey (34 rooms: mean 85.5 walkable tiles, none split, 15/445 spots need
     a nudge, none in the approved side-quest rooms) and two board-fit sheets.

     User feedback (1 Nov): the hover label was one giant textbox in the wrong

     - Hover/focus/hold label is the title only, drawn as a small parchment
       note in the cards' pixel frame. Key, state and reasons move to the click
       card and inventory detail as a status line (contextStatus).
     - Inventory tabs are words (Satchel, Kit, Power-ups, Requests, Projects).
     - Departures read "Practise in Memory Meadow" and "Set off on an outing".
     - Request rewards name an Imprint by its approved name and whose.

     the stretch smooths them (amplitude x(1 - 0.25*breath)), as wrinkles do.

     bumps. Flanks are shaved in 1px and scalloped with circles ~5px apart that
     bulge ~2px past the original line: three rounded crests a side with notches
     between, sides out of step; top stays a smooth dome. In every breath pose.

     User: bumps instead of nubs, along the flanks (shoulder to base). The side
     body now carries five uneven rounded bulges in its outline (two back, three
     front, varied height and radius) in every breath pose; nub processes and
     their sockets removed; top stays clear.

     User: the cells do not move using tendrils; this package is only for the
     animations that use them, and all tendrils sit under the main sprite.
     
     Processes now start inside the body and appear only when the host starts an
     action: extend grows one out of the body edge toward a point or target, it
     grips (or points and follows aim), a held process reels in slack and pays
     out line, and release/retract draw it back in. Automatic reaching while
     moving is opt-in (reach.auto) for a tendril-travel skill only. view() lists
     only emerged processes; renderers and demo draw them all under the sprite.
     New action reel (walk, Survey, Engulf, Pull) in reviews/m003; demo gets
     action buttons. 16/16 module tests, npm test 150/150.

   Commit message

   - Many Hands, Relay, Breach and the field rooms take the host fact `reach`
     (kept as ranger.reach); both recruit hosts set it from the kit, so Long Reach
     and Imprint reach costs apply to your own work and to contact orders.
   - Pressure & Aftermath offers stationed Care at connections under a forecast
     front, and a visible front striking a recruit startles it (quiet fronts do not).
   - M6 Version B records a witness (no inspect order): report.witnessed.
   - Practicum jolt pad on the approach plus a third Swap task; M6 Version B
     connection on the walk onward; PIP8 contact (now wall-contact) beside the walk,
     under its jolt pad. These change approved layouts and await the user's OK.
   - Tests read the roamer's speed from the roster (B raises it to 75 at re-pin).

   Commit message

   Procedural pixel VFX for menu focus/confirm/refusal, pickup to inventory,
   buy/sell with failed purchase, quest accept/step/claim, NPC conversation and
   a contact-order skill chain (Claude B helper events). Effects consume real
   host outcomes (lead economy.js, pinned vendor helper) through adapters with
   replay-safe keys; a pure director handles dedupe, replacement, aggregation,
   UI vs world clocks, delay and reduced motion. Review hub at
   src/vfx/review/index.html; recipes in docs/vfx/VFX_FIRST_SLICE.md; blind
   critique rounds 1-2 kept in docs/vfx/critique/. Candidate, not shipped.

   Common Hall: the lead's quests tracked with questProgress and claimed with claimQuest
   (commit first, measured receipt, quest-claimed event); residents' side-story requests
   through the journal rules with neutral set-aside; B's boardView debriefs on a chalk board,
   newest first, beats numbered and shaped (pressure, aftermath, recovery) so colour is never
   the only cue. Studios: Lobby kit preview only (loadout stays home-only; switch question
   open for Claude B); floors with open, cleared and locked drills, locked ones in B's own
   words; the Coordinator floor locked until the first recruit; a clear only from the host's
   practice-room receipt through clearDrill, once; read-only power-up and flex pools.

    Commit message

    User request ("someone needs to code the shop menus"), relayed by General. Seven menus in
    src/hud/shops/: Exchange, Market stalls, Apothecary (field supplies), Workshop, Food Hall,
    Tea House and Wrapping Depot. Every action calls B's pure rules (pinned byte-identical to
    the lead's fa5d6d10 pin, hashes tested); availability is the same call probed, and each
    receipt's signed Supply change is measured. The host commits first; only then do the
    receipt and the trade-committed event follow, and a failed save claims nothing. Rest stops
    refuse provisions with B's loadoutChangeAt text. Trade events (committed, refused,
    cancelled) follow the contract agreed with the VFX session.
    
    Also: eight shop icons (51; Aseprite 51/51), descriptions and science lines for gear,
    tools and finds (spool line checked against Nave 2010), and hover labels moved to the top
    layer so they show above modal dialogs and wrap.

    H15 is approved H14 plus the decided home layout (Claude B doc 30): the symmetric home loop,
    cross path in line with the gate, axis path and spurs; the delivery tray; the mirrored home
    board and bench; plots P1-P4 as stone-kerbed tilled beds; the contact and keeper pads.
    Built in H14's own saved scene (camera, sun, toon ramps) and pasted over H14 only where it
    changes. Growth 1 and 2 clear lobes of the south woods with plots P5/P6 and pads, each
    changing over a third of its best 512x288 view (33.8%, 34.1%).
    
    The neurons, their lines, the rosette, the contact collars and the crossing are held back
    (WITH_NEURONS=False) until a design makes each neuron belong to its spot (user, 31 Oct).

    The user moved the Act V refuge from Hearth Grove to Practice Grove, now
    renamed Memory Meadow, so Hearth keeps the player's built progress. The
    refuge, its night option and the epilogue aftermath were approved on
    31 Oct 2026.
    
    - meadow_states.py builds per-layer pieces over approved L12, runtime
      prop sprites with foot points, a manifest, and 1x/2x previews.
    - It asserts the user's one-third rule. Changed share of the camera view:
      refuge 41% (arrival) and 45% (ring); aftermath 38% and 42%.
    - Props (canopy, crate pile, beacon, route stake) are rendered from the
      B05 library under L12's dawn sun by hearth_props_blender.py --place
      meadow.
    - The meadow README is retitled, and the lead is asked to carry the
      rename through the plan, the runtime and the docs.
    
    No collision or state IDs are implied.

    Quiet District states, round 5, to the user's one-third rule (changed

    - before stage 3 the whole district is dead and cold (blue-grey, one
      value step darker); at stages 3-4 its colour is back but dim; stage 5
      is the approved scene. Light sources and the sky are never changed.
    - measured at every camera position: before->stage 3 min 37%,
      stage 3->stage 5 min 40%; the build asserts both
    - colour map and pre-darkened layers in quiet/layers for the runtime
    
    D10 is D09 with the quiet-garden tree's trunk redrawn: one continuous
    trunk lit left and shaded right, roots flaring both sides, a dark edge
    against the bench. At game size D09's trunk read as a kneeling leg.
    Only architecture.png changes; D09 is untouched.

    recruit in the practicum, M6 Version B, F6 and PIP8 rooms: contact orders for any class
    within reach, Direct from a distance for the Coordinator only, a closed gate refusing an
    order gracefully, Swap only along an open line, Huddle on the declared jolt, the keeper
    working through its first jolt; M6 files the same finding solo or with Mote
    (report-source-recorded). F2 is a rule room whose barrier never opens, with free
    backtracking and Fen walking their own route (route-walked only if the turn is walked).
    Wick: wickOutingPlan() guarantees an eligible Quiet Tracts repair; stretchEarned() credits a
    returned repair, tested on real completed runs.

    Commit message

    Rill (R0-R2): a Gardens side room with a real narrow passage and two sites; Rill works the
    near one (at most one job, inside B's guest budget: guest plus recruit at most two), then
    walks the last stretch alongside and turns away; the last-stretch task is always the
    Ranger's, and Rill's route never blocks a site or the exit (tested with Rill as a blocker).
    Cress (C0-C2): the lower road episode; Cress's route follows the banked stretches and
    Wick's work site (a real blocker when active) and needs no repair at all.
    
    sidequest-evidence.js derives Claude B's evidence kinds from what a room's state shows was
    done (M1 windows, inspected Vessel Margins contacts, Rill's crossing, Cress's route) and
    checks them against a byte-identical pin of B's catalogue (claude/skills b1f8b1eb);
    stretchEarned() marks a returned outing with a real Quiet Tracts repair (W1-W5).

    The first Studios interior, at ANNO: Mutationem scale (one storey fills the
    288 px screen). A Meshy concept is pixelised, put on the shared B08 palette
    with its neon halfway, cleaned to match the other scenes, and hand-finished
    in lobby.aseprite (sign, class board, specimens, lowered desk, cartoon glass).
    
    A pinhole projector fitted to the painting gives the room depth: prop sprites
    with sort rows, a walk polygon in screen pixels and floor metres (including a
    walkway behind the desk), door thresholds and perspective scale. The painted
    lights are rebuilt in Blender to shade characters, with exported light maps
    for 2D sprites. BlenderKit downloads and .blend files stay out of git.

     Ward: back to wardShare 0.6 by default in Pressure & Aftermath and both Act II demos, the
     final rule from Claude B (claude/skills 28 §5; plan §13: a Ward cannot neutralise all
     inflammation); still tunable.
     
     Rest stops (user decision): Starwell's two Vessel Margins branches are separate outings by
     default; outings.js adds the optional both-in-one outing that rests at Starwell between
     them, over a byte-identical pinned copy of Claude B's rest rules (vendor/rest.js, blob
     e5d0cb5 from claude/skills 82849f10).
     
     Teaching: the one supervised Coordinator try (Act II, alongside the observer) is recorded
     with no lasting unlock and no reward; it is planned, not playable, until Direct has a target.

     Commit message

     User decision (31 Oct): the Sentinel's Survey needs an early job, so the Warden is not the
     obvious pick. A quiet front gives no forecast and takes no visible function; while it
     presses an unsupported connection it builds strain, so a response lingers when it passes.
     Only a sweep reads it in time (and Care can then steady the connection). The first
     visit's third front and Night Shift's second front are quiet: a prepared Sentinel leaves
     nothing behind, while solo and Warden players meet a lingering response (and Soothe).
     
     The Vessel Margins relay demo takes the HUD session's science check: the three-factor AND
     rule is labelled the game's simplification of one protocol; adhesion is shown without
     claiming no entry; no single pathway releases monocytes; letting go is not a reset; the
     recruitment-negative wording is scenario-bound. The teaching plan moves Coordinator
     lessons after the first recruit.

     Commit message

     Claude B measured that single, non-overlapping fronts let Care alone decide every room.
     Rooms after first-visit now carry paired fronts (B's candidates for Night Shift and Two
     Basins), and the later rooms warn later. A ring (Ward, Stand Fast, flex and Imprint
     rings) now sheds 60% of the remaining load and counts as support, in Pressure & Aftermath
     and both Act II demos, so the Warden is not the only safe choice. Survey also says which
     connection would strain unsupported. The pilot now plays only from what a player can see.
     The teaching plan records the user's decision that the Coordinator, Direct, Swap, Huddle
     and the Companion Imprint stay locked until the optional helper is recruited.

     Commit message

     The helper is now an optional recruit (user decision, 31 Oct): every room is played solo
     by default, with the recovery choice moved to the ranger (quick Care keeps a lingering
     response going; Soothe makes it fade) and the one astrocyte link wanted for both the
     next front and the last one's aftermath. A recruited helper joins only when the host
     brings one, under a configurable label.
     
     Skills arrive as the pinned kit's generic host facts through a lab skill host that reads
     src/main-game/vendor/kit without editing it: Ward and Stand Fast rings hold fronts back,
     Survey reads the forecast ahead (and finds the Many Hands leak), Attune shortens links,
     Long Reach extends reach; Direct and Swap are refused without a companion. The family lab
     gains a skill bar, Imprints, help cards and a recruit toggle. teaching.js records where
     every catalogue skill (and Flow) is introduced, with its limits and open gaps.

     Extends the region kit to Claude A's Quiet Tracts (3 rooms) and
     injury-site rooms (7: The Breach and Many Hands), pinned from
     claude/expeditions 0e4a4d4e. Each region has its own palette:
     - Quiet Tracts: night-blue walls round a stony greige floor, with
       darker worn paths so the cream axon is the only cream line
     - injury site: a warm ochre floor between rust-brown scar walls
     
     New modules for the layouts' "drawn, not solid" features:
     - a myelinated axon (tract) lying across the floor, as low cream
       myelin segments with dark nodes
     - vessels along a wall or across the floor, using the approved
       dark-red tube; floor vessels get no dark groove or sheath
     - vessel gaps as torn openings in the wall
     Long rock holes (scar ridges) become a row of boulders. The vessel
     reds now apply to every room with vessels.
     
     Re-renders Pressure Front, Night Shift and Storm Season (v6) on the
     gardens-a616978 layouts, so their dressing sits round the new Pressure
     & Aftermath spots.
     
     Relay is set aside at the user's request: its layout and renders are
     kept as a local backup in gardens-rooms/backup/ (ignored by git), and
     the kit no longer loads it. No .blend files.

     Makes the run-room kit region-aware: kit_layout.region() and
     REGION_PALETTE give each region its own canopy, floor and path ramps,
     and room-type dressing is per region. The kit builds Claude A's five
     Act II rooms (margins-layouts-0, claude/expeditions a6169788): Border
     Walk, Adhesion Bend, Quiet Bend, Warning Signs and Shared Footprint.
     
     Vessels follow Claude A's zones, which are never collision. After the
     user's review they are drawn as living vessels, not flat bands:
     - a half-sunk dark-red tube with blood cells seen through its lumen,
       lying in a dark perivascular groove
     - a continuous violet sheath of astrocyte endfeet
     - a branch that grows out of its parent, with one width, the parent's
       sheath open at the joint, and a free end turning down into the tissue
     - cross-sections as a rim round a dark well
     Five vessel reds (kit_layout.VESSEL_RED) are added to the palette for
     vessel pixels only; the user chose a dark red between B08's browns and
     a neon true red. Shared Footprint takes Starwell's violet.
     
     Keeps every revision (m1-m9 and the border-walk-vs-* colour variants).
     Also includes another session's re-pin of the Gardens layouts at
     a616978, the same geometry with Pressure & Aftermath spots. No .blend
     files.

     The art director rejected the Meshy Solar Garden Tower's painted texture
     ("dizzying" however it was recoloured). build_stack() in studios_kit.py
     rebuilds it from primitives in the street's toon materials: a stone ground
     floor with the arched giant door, stepped cream blocks outlined in window
     steel, a glass top floor, green walls and roof solar arrays. Same 8.21-unit
     frame, so the STUDIOS blade sign keeps its place east of the door.
     
     The Studios is narrower than the walkable block it replaced, so every shop
     sign, the Common Hall chalkboard and its banners stayed behind at fixed
     pixels. finish_threadway.py now places each relative to its building's
     screen position in plan.json. P22 is the full render with both changes.
     
     First commit of the Threadway street pipeline; .blend files, Meshy and
     BlenderKit models stay ignored. walk25_kit.py (CR-NAV-02) belongs to

     Commit message

     Fronts from a forecast press on named connections; an anchored
     astrocyte, the neighbour helper or the ranger's Care supports them. A
     lingering response stays after a front only where a connection spent
     long enough strained and unsupported, and slows recovery there; the
     helper's fast work feeds it, recovery work fades it. A room settles
     when every connection holds its function after the forecast clears,
     even with a response still present; a connection at zero is overloaded
     and the room can be retried. Four rooms on the Gardens shapes, eight
     falsification tests from the reviewed design, a scripted pilot, and
     Gardens runs now draw this encounter (Pressure Front stays a dev-only
     prototype). Shared shapes keep both families' spots clear for the art.

     Every icon now fits the central 14x14 of its 16x16 cell, outline included,
     with a 1 px transparent margin. The generator draws on a padded canvas and
     fails on oversize art instead of clipping it; a test decodes the committed
     atlas and checks the margin. Key caps, cooldown seconds, counts and offer
     keys sit beneath slot frames; the half-scaled Imprint badge is removed.

     Commit message

     The Quiet Tract, Breach, Many Hands and Relay rooms join the Gardens
     rooms as irregular polygon rooms (CR-NAV-01): each keeps its encounter
     positions and the door sides it offered, with its own outline, islands
     and door positions. Every version 2 run now builds every room from a
     layout (content families-4); version 1 keeps its rectangle rooms.
     
     Shapes are authored as smoothed cages between exact door mouths
     (shape-tools.js); rooms.js derives keep-clear spots and features
     (vessels, vessel gaps, the axon tract) from the fixtures and writes one
     JSON per room set for the art kit. Breach vessel gaps move just inside
     the wall. Saved Breach and Quiet Tract states now must match their
     fixture geometry too.
     
     Polygon checks cost more, so distance fields reuse a per-outline mask,
     steering tries headings best-first (same choice, fewer checks) and the
     scripted pilots stop re-planning while standing on their goal. Pilot
     outcomes match the rectangle rooms across every room and modifier.

     Five candidate rooms answer the lead's campaign-room handoff: Border
     Walk (normal border traffic), Adhesion Bend (a relay where its
     conditions coincide), Quiet Bend (same symptom, no recruitment),
     Warning Signs (a precondition without a relay) and Shared Footprint
     (Starwell cooperation without a leak). Layouts carry vessel
     compartments as non-collision zones, wall contacts, escape routes,
     proposed states and design notes; the checker now verifies contacts,
     zones and escape routes. Design data only: no rules change, and Vessel
     Margins stays closed to generation.

     Commit message

     Re-pins Claude A's Gardens layouts at claude/expeditions 6e70c5c (Night
     Shift's walls shallower; more optional doors) and re-renders all eight
     rooms. Night Shift v3b is the v3 kit on the new outline.
     
     v4 dressed each room type differently, but the user found the
     difference too subtle. v5 gives each type its own palette
     (kit_layout.PALETTE) and signature, with shapes and collision unchanged
     and floors kept pale and walls dark:
     - entrance: the Glade's green canopy, grass and flowers at the way home
     - encounter: amber synaptic lights clustered in the wall by each neuron
       patch
     - recovery: a cool blue-teal cave
     - finale: rose-plum walls, a warm cream floor and amber lights
     - branch: mossy olive walls round tended beds
     
     Broad light patches were dropped: the palette has no step lighter than
     a floor's lit one, so they could not show. The build places shared
     template meshes instead of bpy.ops primitives. No .blend files.

     Commit message

     The hand-drawn crate outlines sat a pixel right and two low of the rendered
     boxes, so lids poked out and the bottom outlines hung over the kerb like legs.
     Each Exchange and depot stack is now painted whole on the rendered columns,
     sitting on its floor row; stray rendered crate pixels go back to the wall and
     the depot planter stays in front. Same frozen passes, gated on revision, so
     S11 and S12 still rebuild exactly.

     Commit message

     Generator v2 now gives Gardens runs polygon rooms (CR-NAV-01): every
     room has its own outline and door table, links join doors by facing
     and arrive at the destination's own door, and doors a run leaves
     unused are plugged (solid in play, drawn closed). Pressure Front and
     Tag Garden fixtures are polygon rooms everywhere; Quiet Tracts and the
     injury site keep their rectangle rooms. Content version families-3.
     
     Distance fields and steering respect polygon walls, saved encounter
     states must match the full fixture geometry, caches avoid plugs and
     walls, and fixture checks are cached so plans stay fast. Night Shift's
     walls were made shallower after the prepared pilot lost a neuron.

     Commit message

     A modular room kit for the Gardens expedition region: each run room is
     built from a polygon room record, not authored as its own scene.
     kit_layout.py places modules from one walkable mask, build_room.py turns
     them into Blender geometry, and pixels.py finishes and checks the
     result. The modules are a pale membrane floor with routed worn paths, a
     dendrite thicket wall along every edge, knot/ridge/hedge/rock/water
     holes and a matching lantern doorway with a plug sprite. Tall art over
     floor goes to the foreground layer, so the ranger walks behind it.
     
     The eight rooms are rendered (v3, with v1/v2 and the r01-r03 Root
     Hollow style test kept) on Claude A's irregular polygon layouts, pinned
     from claude/expeditions 1fd75c5. Includes the contract request (the
     earlier wall-band proposal) and the art handoff to Codex for polygon
     movement, layers, door plugs and icon slots. No .blend files, no game
     integration.

     The eight rooms a Gardens run can draw now have their own walkable
     outlines (bays, narrowings, curved edges, islands, an S-bend) and two to

    Measured every building's purpose in Claude A's real rooms (tools, gear) and
    in a 22-outing model on the lead's ledger (cash flow, market, bonds,
    recovery, Studios pacing). Fixed what broke:
    - Tea House: answers an open visit request only (free visits tripled bond XP).
    - Food Hall: the meal is the return's one recovery step (clearing erased the
      story's carried recovery, 41% -> 0% of outings).
    - Workshop: replaced two strictly-worse tools and one strictly-better tool
      with three measured sidegrades (steady grip, quick hands, reaching frame).
    - Apothecary: spare tether (did nothing outside the Breach) -> Ward stake.
    - Studios: second class drills open with Act III recovery (pool complete at
      outing 11 of 22, not 6).
    Lab host gains dev-only tool adapters and a pilot analysis hook.

      surroundings and faint signals hid information or dropped inputs, which
      the plan rules out; they remain only as an opt-in generator option.
    - Generated expeditions can be limited to a region (Dendritic Gardens,
      Quiet Tracts, the Act V injury site), so the Breach no longer appears
      outside the injury site. Vessel Margins refuses to generate until the
      stress-model Relay exists. The district gate opens onto Quiet Tracts.
    - One expedition repairs at most one Quiet District stretch, and stage 4
      now has a beat: a resident changes their routine to use the road.
      Version 1 quest books are upgraded on load.
    - Pressure Front fails by overload (not neuron death), and a failed
      family room can be retried from its checkpoint as the same expedition
      (same runId, attempt + 1), so a retry never banks twice.

    Checked the story plan v0.2 against the classes and progression
    (docs/game-balance/24-story-plan-fit.md).
    
    - src/services: each drill opens only after its field-note topic is met
      (opensWith, drillsOpen). Act I opens one drill per class floor; Act II
      the second. No drill waits on an optional arc.
    - Kit Imprint texts and lab labels name no resident or cell type; the
      Companion is a guest that never vacates a home duty. Ids unchanged.
    - Handoff: encounter requests (Sentinel finds before Act V, Warden role
      in the reworked Relay, Quiet Tract hooks) and Imprint sources.

    - validateKit requires bounded plain data: plain objects, finite numbers, valid
      cooldown, effect, room, run and receipt shapes. restoreKit returns a
      structured rejection instead of throwing (audit finding 1).
    - startRun validates the whole request on a candidate; a refused start leaves
      the kit unchanged (audit finding 2). Both reproductions are regression tests.
    - Imprint labels (Shelter, Companion, Lookout); ids keep `keepsake`. Finds and

    - Bram (border macrophage) watches a connection: earlier forecasts and

    - Pressure fronts: unsteadied microglia slow down; a forecast visit or a
      bond of three keeps them steady.
    - A new connection needs a keeper; a second growth step; a disturbance
      forecast while you are away waits if the home cannot be covered.
    - Provisions (up to two run upgrades, 6 then 12 Supply) and a run-upgrade

    Give each specialisation one job that every family has, instead of bonuses
    only the Breach could read (v3 left the Warden idle in four of six families):
    - Sentinel finds: Survey (reveal, full-length warnings), Long Reach passive
      (never for leading a precursor), Pull.
    - Coordinator delegates: Direct also calms flickers, steadies residents and
      relays send orders to neighbours; visitors follow its clump; Swap.
    - Warden protects: Ward (the room's danger cannot act inside), Stand Fast,
      Attune extended to Many Hands rings.
    
    Keepsakes (ward, friend, watch) and up to two provisions can start a run;
    eligibleUpgrades accepts the unlocked pool. Save v3 with migrateKit for v2.
    The lab plays all six families from Claude A's 773b241, adds an attention-
    lapse play style for measuring protection, and marks every stand-in hook
    as [ADAPTER].

    Commit message

    Fourteen short lessons in five chapters (plus an optional puzzle) teach each encounter
    family on its real rules, one idea per room. A coach rings what matters and speaks only
    when the player stalls or right after a visible consequence; debrief cards say what
    happened from the room's own metrics. A quest chain alternates lessons with expeditions,
    and generated runs now contain only practised families. Optional field notes keep what
    was seen, what is known and what is invented apart. Dev page: play.html.

    Consolidates the accepted game, Claude A's expeditions, Claude B's classes,
    skills and homestead, both art workstreams, science and project history into
    16 static pages that open from disk with no server.
    
    - Feature registry (wiki/source/features.mjs) separates where each feature
      lives (integrated / dev prototype / proposed / rejected) from who verified
      it, so agent reports are never presented as accepted functionality.
    - Eight single-file demo snapshots built from pinned commits via Git, plus
      copied screenshots and art, so nothing links into another agent's worktree.
    - Patch notes (friendly) and a developer changelog generated from Git with
      a verification record.
    - build-wiki.mjs fails on any broken link, anchor, worktree/absolute path or
      missing git reference; check-wiki.mjs opens every page in Edge.
    
    Only wiki/ is added; no shared, core or other agents' files change.

    Commit message

    A short puzzle family (two rooms) that the v2 generator only ever uses
    as the optional side branch. A developing neuron receives connections:
    trim every quiet one and keep every active one. Complement-like tags
    hint "quiet" and CD47-like shields hint "keep", but each room has a
    misleading hint, so the player must watch the pulses (tags raise the
    odds of removal rather than decide it: Stevens 2007, Schafer 2012,
    Lehrman 2018; microglia nibble terminals: Weinhard 2018). Trimming an
    active connection dims the circuit and keeps the side cache sealed;
    nothing is lost and the door out stays open.
    
    Pilots: watching the pulses solves both rooms in under 20 s; following
    the tags alone over-prunes.

    activation is now evaluate -> host applies to a candidate copy -> commit, so a
    refusal, a throw or a stale intent changes neither the kit nor the world;

    Commit message

    A new encounter family (two intro rooms and a climax), playable in the
    family lab and in generated v2 expeditions. Each cell does one job:
    - a border-associated macrophage patrols its vessel (long-lived, not a
      microglial cell; Goldmann 2016) and can flag the hidden leak, which
      is labelled a game rule;
    - astrocytes in a ring around the leak, linked in turn, raise borders
      that corral the spill (Wanner 2013: astrocyte borders corral
      inflammation, over days to weeks, compressed here); a partial ring
      slows the spill, a closed one contains it and the spill outside
      recedes. The leak only holds a seal once ringed (game rule), and the
      border blocks the ranger too, so the seal is made from inside and an
      astrocyte is unlinked to leave; processes can always touch border
      astrocytes, so the ranger is never walled in for good;
    - neighbour microglia clear debris when sent, then tire; linked
      astrocytes partly back them up only when every neighbour is tired
      (Konishi 2020: compensation for impaired, not busy, microglia);
    - a neuron dimmed to zero in the spill is lost and fails the room.
    
    Pilots: neglect fails every room and modifier; ringing and sealing
    settles every one, alone or with neighbours. Sending neighbours did not
    save pilot time; that balance question goes to Claude B.

    Commit message

    A new encounter family (two intro rooms and a climax), playable in the
    family lab and in generated v2 expeditions. Built to the full-text
    checks:
    - the alarm from debris relays two ways: to astrocytes, whose reactive
      state persists and is only partly reset by damping (Liddelow 2017;
      no "A1/neurotoxic" label per the 2021 consensus), and as a microglial
      recruitment call (CCL2-like; D'Mello 2009);
    - a strong call lights vessel-wall beacons that capture responders;
      entry is staged: perivascular wait, then across the glial wall;
    - recruited monocyte-derived cells clear debris fast but strip myelin
      from the bystander tract nearby (Yamasaki 2014); stripped segments
      strain while the tone is high and a lost one fails the room;
    - tone fades partly on its own and stalls while astrocytes stay
      reactive and recruits stay active (Francos-Quijorna 2017); damping
      and settling let it fall. High tone dims neurons; a lost neuron
      fails the room.
    Stripped segments also lower the room's circuit signal, so uncontrolled
    help degrades the ranger's senses later in the expedition.
    
    Pilots: neglect fails every room; keeping recruits out and careful
    welcoming both settle every room and modifier; naive welcoming strips
    the tract.

    A new encounter family, playable in its own lab (family.html) and in
    generated v2 expeditions (two intro rooms and a climax).
    
    Four neighbourhood patches each have a neuron and a resident microglia
    that calms over-active "flickers" (inspired by the microglial
    adenosine brake, Badimon 2020). A forecast brings fronts:
    - alert fronts (arousal; noradrenaline-inspired, Liu 2019 / Stowell
      2019) make resident surveillance smaller and slower, capped, and it
      recovers within seconds once the front passes;
    - tides (glucocorticoid-inspired priming, Frank 2010-2014) change
      nothing alone but make flickers that start after a lead time flare
      faster, except where residents were steadied beforehand;
    - flickers peaking in a severe front leave echo marks that fade in a
      fast and a slow part (uneven recovery, Wohleb 2014);
    - mild repeats habituate, severe fronts do not, and a new type after
      repeats hits harder.
    The ranger steadies residents ahead of a front and calms what they
    miss. A neuron reaching zero is lost and fails the room. The optional
    "feed storm" modifier is labelled as fiction in play.
    
    Also: process.js (shared reach/attach/tether mechanics for new
    families), familylab.js (generic lab host), drawers.js (room drawers
    by family). Pilots: neglect fails every room and modifier; reading the
    forecast settles every one.

    Commit message

    Full-text checks (methods, results, figures, limitations) changed four
    rules; the rest were caption fixes:
    - Debris no longer stops OPCs maturing; it stalls the final wrap of a
      nearby segment while the short window keeps ticking (Kotter 2006).
    - Haze slows maturation instead of reversing it, and a settled,
      repair-mode neighbour speeds it (Miron 2013, activin-A).
    - Bare segments block a deterministic share of pulses outright, more
      when worn; the rest pass slowly (conduction block, Felts 1997).
    - Oligodendrocyte support reaches only the segments it wrapped
      (Fünfschilling 2012; Lee 2012), not a radius.
    - Wording: pericytes respond within seconds; "debris constricts
      pericytes" is labelled a game rule built on real constrictors.
    
    Valve Chain strain 0.06 -> 0.05 keeps its vessel shortcut a graded
    trade-off now that the unsupported radius support is gone. The
    long-way-round pilot still restores every room and modifier without
    loss; neglect fails every room.

    expedition.html is a dev-only loop: walk the Quiet District, use the

    verbs as the labs, and come home to bank road repairs. The quest book is
    kept in localStorage as a stand-in for the game save, validated on every
    load (a corrupt record is set aside and the player is told).
    
    - Family room drawing moved to breach/draw.js and tract/draw.js, shared
      by both labs and the new page. Drawing takes a perception view: patchy
      sensing places far things approximately with "?", late warnings show
      a shorter telegraph badged "noisy" (and its log line is held back).
    - Family adapters carry a checked player-facing science line plus the
      game rules it simplifies; the page shows both.
    - Browser tests: keyboard play in the district and a run, an
      accelerated full loop with banking and reload persistence, a failed
      run that banks nothing, and a tampered save that is refused.

    Generator version 2 builds expeditions from encounter-family rooms (the
    Breach and Quiet Tract today; new families join through families.js).
    Version 1 plans and saved runs are unchanged and still validate.
    
    - families.js: one adapter per family (create, step, command, targets,
      dynamic region, neuron signal, telegraphs, rooting, speed factor).
    - roomfit.js: fixtures must take the standard door sockets, every
      objective is validated from each doorway arrival, and no hazard
      source may sit on an arrival. First Wave's socket and both Breach
      vessel gaps moved clear of the doors so they can join runs.
    - circuit.js: each v2 run declares one circuit effect; the live circuit
      follows the current room's neurons, carries part of a dim ending into
      the next room, and heals with rest. Stage changes are announced;
      Comfort swaps perception changes for slower work; faint signals can
      drop helper calls (always shown).
    - run.js (run version 2): family records, run-owned resilience from
      family jolts, a lost neuron or segment fails the whole run in every
      mode, strict validation of family records and the circuit.
    - sandbox.js: reach/release/anchor, pushes, rooting, slowdowns, closing
      vessel gaps, Comfort and steady-care for family rooms.
    - Pilots accept a driver; run-pilot.js completes whole v2 expeditions.

    Commit message

    Protecting neurons and their pathways is the objective, so a loss can no
    longer be a grading cost:
    - Quiet Tract: a lost segment fails the room at once, in every mode
      (outcome.reason 'segment-lost'). A 'wearing' event announces a bare
      segment when its strain passes the new lossWarnStrain (0.8).
    - Breach: a neuron whose function reaches zero is lost and fails the room
      ('neuron-lost'); an 'endangered' event fires once at the silent
      threshold. Previously a fully silenced neuron could still "settle".
    - Gentle mode now only removes the ranger-resilience failure ('frayed').
    - Validators reject completed or active states containing a loss.
    - Lab end screens name the reason; tests and README updated, plus a
      browser test for the tract failure path.

    Commit message

    A non-Breach encounter family (recovery/resolution + white matter +
    cooperation) built on two non-microglial cell roles, plus a neuronal
    dysfunction engine. Dev-only lab; not integrated into Circuit Ranger.
    
    - OPC -> oligodendrocyte: self-repelling precursors claim bare segments,
      mature only with no debris close and no lingering haze, then wrap
      recently active segments within a short window; reserve refills gaps.
      Unled OPCs keep to their side of the vessel; the ranger can lead one
      (moving at its pace) through a squeeze gap or round the vessel's end.
    - Pericyte valve chain: slow tone changes coupled along the vessel;
      debris/haze constrict, activity and a relaxing touch dilate. Constriction
      opens a squeeze gap (a route) but starves downstream segments (supply).
    - Neurons: pulses cross bare segments slowly; strained bare segments
      misfire (telegraphed, cooldown); unsupported ones are lost for good.
      The far neuron's function drives the room's declared dysfunction effect.
    - dysfunction.js: late warnings (shortened by a bounded fraction, badged),
      patchy surroundings (far objects at approximate positions), faint
      signals (unheard helper orders, always shown); one effect at a time; a
      Comfort setting swaps any effect for an equivalent work-rate penalty.
    - Three authored rooms, four modifiers, validated (no soft-lock: OPC
      routes exist with every gap closed), plain-data state validation.
    - Shared lab kinematics and drawing helpers; 17 rule tests, policy pilots
      (idle, cleaner, restorer, detour) and a browser spec with evidence.

    Commit message

    Research-driven replacement direction for the expedition encounters (design
    package and research follow in the report commit). Independent module and
    dev-only lab; not integrated into Circuit Ranger; production build unchanged.
    
    - field.js: path-distance fields over authored geometry (waves bend around
      walls; agents path around them). params.js: tuning schemas with units,
      safe ranges and validated overrides for balancing sweeps.
    - breach/: three interacting archetypes plus a multi-stage controller.
      Spreading waves from open breach sockets (telegraphed, staggered,
      cancellable by sealing in time, spreading debris when left open);
      visitors from a vessel gap (swarm relay, fast clearing, crowd strain and
      residue); astrocytes (link, cover, reserve, rest, vessel sheathing) and
      neighbour microglia (tendrils converge to seal); neurons dim and recover,
      never die. Ranger verbs: tethered process reach, anchoring, and lab
      stand-ins for reposition (anchor-pull), assist and steady-care.
    - 4 authored rooms (two intros, two climax geometries) and 4 modifier
      presets; fixture validator; plain-data state validation.
    - Encounter Lab page with keyboard, mouse and touch controls; scripted
      pilots; 20 rule tests wired into npm test; lab browser spec and evidence.

    Commit message

    Research synthesis (roguelites, biology), critical audit of the previous
    src/skills prototype, class/skill/encounter catalogues, and a seeded
    fixed-step balance model reusing the real navigation functions, core
    Tend/Call/response rules and Claude A's (uncommitted) hazard rules.
    
    Includes encounter x build matrices, parameter sweeps, sensitivity, run-level
    simulations, room-fairness fixes and exploit tests, plus the recommended
    roster (Sentinel/Coordinator starters, Warden unlock), parameters,
    run-upgrade framework, progression graph, integration requirements and
    playtest hypotheses. All results regenerate byte-identically with
    node docs/game-balance/analysis/run-all.mjs. No production code changed.

    Commit message

    Addresses the four probes in 2026-10-27-lead-expeditions-response.md:
    
    1. Completed runs keep only earned Supply as pending; run-only boons
       cannot be claimed after a run ends.
    2. Pending rewards are validated as unique, earned, unclaimed, uncarried
       Supply, and completed claims re-check earning independently.
    3. Run payloads must be plain data (no functions, accessors, cycles,
       symbols, class instances, undefined or non-finite numbers) with known
       fields; restoreRun returns a rejection instead of throwing.
    4. New verifyRewardIntent freshness check; the sandbox claim is now a
       candidate transaction (copy wallet and run, publish only on success),
       so stale, duplicate or throwing payouts change nothing.
    
    Also stops the event log storing undefined details.

    Commit message

    Claude A expeditions workstream (src/expeditions, tests/expeditions,
    tests/unit/expeditions.test.js only). Not integrated into Circuit Ranger;
    the production build is unchanged.
    
    - Seeded generator joins 12 hand-authored 512x288 templates into 4- or
      5-room runs: entrance, encounter(s), optional harder side branch with a
      Supply + boon cache, recovery pool (5-room), final relay challenge, exit.
      Every plan is validated: connectivity, paired doors, walkable arrivals,
      reachability around blockers, hazard-free arrivals, calm work windows,
      capability/unlock requirements and namespaced IDs.
    - Four encounter types with distinct play: drift (timing between bands),
      rescue (soothe and lead neighbours to a haven), cluster (competing
      nodes) and relay (stay in a moving ring). Generic assists[] input for
      future skills; no class IDs.
    - Serialisable run record: door locks, retreat/abandon/fail/complete,
      two-phase reward intents (receipt only on accepted payout), retry with
      carried Supply, gentle accessibility mode and validated JSON payloads.
    - Dev-only demo at /src/expeditions/demo.html with sandbox movement,
      wallet and helper adapters; separate Playwright config on port 5184.

    Commit message

    Independent src/skills module (not wired into Circuit Ranger): two
    specialisations with conditional passives, two equippable active slots,
    four skills (Process Dash, Surveillance Sweep, Signal Beacon, Coordinated
    Call), one timed modifier, five trade-off run upgrades and a three-node
    prototype tree. Activation is evaluate (pure) -> host applies once ->
    commit, so only an accepted host result records a cooldown; a Call-backed
    skill is charged once by the host's Call. Cooldowns use caller-supplied
    active time, are per skill and survive equip, spec change and run end.
    
    Includes a validated local JSON payload (not production save support),
    encounter fixtures, a local sandbox adapter, a canvas-2D demo at
    /src/skills/demo.html, 22 node unit tests and a separate Playwright
    config for the demo on port 5175.
