Root cause was not the suspected fade race — no animation exists
anywhere under client/ui/implant (grep-proven, and settle+2 vs
settle+90 captures were byte-identical). _build_screen_header() was
the single ImplantHeader call site in the codebase that added the
header bare instead of through ImplantPanel.add_component(), so its
fixed light-gray text washed out against pale terrain (Quarter upland
scatter, District olive) while reading fine on dark ocean. Wrapped in
an ImplantPanel like every sibling — the theme's panel_bg scrim makes
it legible everywhere. One committed golden (atlas_GJ820Bc_District)
already carried the ghosting baked in, confirming the bug was static;
all 13 goldens regenerated per the header change, two independent
live-server runs byte-identical (T-1157 stability discipline).
Verified live at the original evidence center: header crisp at
settle+2/+30/+90.

Finding 2 became a real code fix: interstitial_fill_into now enforces
the footprint-wins conflict rule (column_has_voxel range probe) — the
FilledChunk absence contract was previously a documented promise the
code didn't keep against conflicting inputs; pinned by a fully-
overlapping-leaf test asserting per-tile resolution. The tautological
overlap test replaced with a real rects_overlap() geometric helper
(itself sanity-tested) applied pairwise. The degenerate-setback fix is
now a standalone pure fn shrink_lot_or_interstitial with four boundary
tests — honestly documented as unreachable from live traffic today
(every min_lot exceeds every setback), a robustness guard for future
recalibration. Both sub-chunk clip tests now reconstruct the full
32-tile union across the seam (disjoint + complete), including the
pre-existing footprint clip test (leave-cleaner). Brief's ChunkLayout
claim tightened to the verified no-production-consumer statement.

The BSP leaves that lose the D-233 coverage roll in
subdivide_block_footprints were computed and discarded; they are now
surfaced as the interstitial rect set (BlockSubdivision), making the
ground-plane classification exhaustive by construction: footprint /
interstitial / street-margin-or-reserved. FillChunk carries the leaves
plus a minimal BlockFillContext (interstitial_character + setback_tier,
re-derived at block level via the existing pure fn); FilledChunk gains
a sparse interstitial map whose absence contract is stated on the
struct (missing key = footprint/street/reserved, never unknown). The
pure resolution maps OperationsSurface (D-233) first, else setback_tier
onto five of D-235's seven interstitial values — dock_slip/market_pad
have no specified trigger in the record and point at T-1209 rather
than an invented mapping. Design brief with the geometry model at
docs/architecture/interstitial-fill-t1098.md (lead-approved
checkpoint). Bonus fix: a degenerate setback shrink previously vanished
from BOTH lists silently; it now falls through to interstitial. 14 new
tests; full cargo test green incl. all golden harnesses; purity per
T-987 (plan-time compute, pre-resolved work items, no cache reads).

D-130->D-131 (broad life-verb vocabulary, x3) and D-118->D-133 (skills
affect outcome, x2), each verified by full record-body match and lead
spot-check. The T-1205 audit body-matched all 66 unique decision ids
across the remaining 11 briefings — the other 10 are citation-clean.
Final f4c72e148 tally: 16 mis-citations across 6 of 18 briefings, all
fixed (T-1199 + T-1205). Follow-ups: T-1208 (eight wholesale-stale
briefings, rewrite backlog), and tiger.md confirmed deleted/off-roster.

The surcharge is now COASTAL_ACCESS_SURCHARGE_HOPS_PER_RING=1 added
directly to length_cells (a pure hop count) — the old cost-unit
constant div_ceil'd through MIN_CELL_COST silently produced 4 hops per
ring, worst-case +24 (double the waypoint threshold) for physically
short edges; worst case is now 6. A formula-pinning test asserts both
the arithmetic and the constant. GJ251c's repro tightened to the
documented 2 edges. The always-land citation now points at the real
guarantee (features.rs::extract_attractors, D-209) — and checking the
D-211 Phase-4 synthetic-overflow path exposed a real gap: it has no
ocean-mask guard at all (T-1206 filed); documented, not papered over.
D-210 gains a dated amendment recording the surrogate-anchor-at-cost
carve-out and the relaxation-over-nudge adjudication. The bare 100
dependency dissolved with the unit fix. Edge counts on both repro
bodies verified unchanged (reachability was never affected).

A routing cell folds up to 64 native pixels, so a coastal settlement's
own land pixel (placement always filters !ocean_mask) can sit inside a
water-majority cell that RouteGrid marks IMPASSABLE — and astar()
hard-returned None for every pair touching it, zeroing whole road
graphs (GJ251c: all 3 placements; GJ380c: Sethvale). The fix relaxes
only the start/goal anchor lookup: nearest_passable_cell (ring BFS,
deterministic row-major tie-break, bounded at COASTAL_ANCHOR_MAX_RING=3)
finds a surrogate anchor and prices it via COASTAL_ACCESS_COST_PER_RING
— a short, honestly-costed access road, never a free water crossing.
IMPASSABLE semantics untouched everywhere else (D-210 transit costs,
open-ocean). The placement-nudge alternative was rejected: it would
move Layer-3 state D-211 promises is seed-derived, for no gain.
Boundary semantics pinned by test: exactly-half-water cells stay
passable (strict-majority rule); a settlement with no passable cell
within the search ring degrades to an isolated 0-edge node, never a
panic or fabricated route. Failing-first repro on real bodies
(GJ251c 0->2 edges, GJ380c 0->1) via the real cascade entry point,
plus same-seed determinism. Full cargo test green; believability and
cascade goldens verified unaffected (Layer-2-only change).

footprint_tiles is an authored value, never derived from normalized
mesh geometry — [1,1] defaults only for plausibly-single-tile classes;
ordinarily-multi-tile classes require an explicitly stated footprint at
promotion. Her exact wording in furniture-props.md §3; conventions.md
§4 gains the authored-not-derived sentence pointing at the full rule
(and a pre-existing 'Single Sunday-tile' typo fixed in passing). The
[1,1] values shipped for the four promoted items stand as ruled.

table_baroque, chair_modernist, desk_scifi (furniture, with mask
sidecars) and lion_statue (props, non-tintable) enter
client/assets/models/ under the category-first convention, byte-
identical to the spike sources (MD5-verified; spikes/ untouched,
vw_beetle excluded per the Q-067 deferral). Postprocess verified
already-applied by Blender node-graph inspection (mat_primary,
roughness=1.0/specular=0.0 shader inputs — the convenience properties
read stale defaults, the graph is authoritative), so not re-run. All
four registered in manifest.json at 'planned' with footprint_tiles
[1,1] (a flagged judgment call — normalized spike geometry erases
real-world scale; the brief ruling goes to araminta in review).
In-engine proof: clean headless import + ResourceLoader load +
instantiate for all four. Discovery documented in conventions.md §2 +
glb-gen SKILL.md: Godot externalizes the GLB's embedded texture as a
<model>_Image_0.png sidecar referenced by binary UID — it must be
committed or loading breaks with an undiscoverable dependency error.

The 2026-03-13 'update all 18 briefings' commit transcribed a family of
adjacent-id slips while summarizing the Where's the Fun? workshop batch,
copied forward by every later maintenance pass: D-126<->D-134 swapped,
D-136 written as D-131, D-137 as D-136, D-130 as D-131, D-120 as D-137.
Fixed in gore/mellanie/ozzie/stig/nigel briefings; every correction
verified against the record's actual body (D-130's emergent-moral-arc
and D-120's no-skill-ceiling were resolved beyond the clerk's audit by
body-matching — the nigel D-137 fix would otherwise have created
contradictory citations in one file). Governance records untouched
(they were always correct); sprint archives verified already-correct.
Remaining 13 briefings from the same commit: T-1205.

doors.md now presents D-231's actual struct shape (initial_state
Open/Closed/Locked/Sealed; TemporalWindow lives in the independent
credential field) and attaches the Phase-5 runtime bridge to
initial_state only. furniture-props.md inventories all five spike GLBs
— acceptance is 4 promotable (3 furniture + lion_statue), vw_beetle
explicitly excluded to the Q-067 deferral. deferred.md + station-walls
gain the axis-completeness note: roof/facade/street textures ride the
wall-brief convention as a same-family follow-on, so the register
accounts for all four D-235 axes. The briefing's D-257 pointer
corrected to palette.md §2.1–2.2, and both the briefing and palette.md
(leave-cleaner, gap inherited from PR #211) now carry D-154's amendment
to D-033 — relationship colors display only in the insert/perception
overlay; normal gameplay is a uniform #1a1a1a outline (D-150).

Replaces the 2026-03-13 v0.2-pivot briefing (sprite pipeline, dropped
scope framing, pre-Atlas) with the current shape: palette.md +
conventions.md as the live authorities the briefing points at rather
than restates, her standing rulings (category-first naming, D-257
toon/glazing) marked as hers to extend, D-235 co-maintenance with Miri,
the wardrobe pipeline as reference model, D-255 stepped Atlas as active
co-designed work, and her real open items (T-1049, D-257 shader,
Q-119, T-1198). Every v0.2-era decision citation verified before
dropping: D-114/D-117 superseded; D-119/D-122/D-128/D-135 live but not
hers; D-033/D-045 kept. D-126/D-131 found REPURPOSED to unrelated
content since the era docs cited them — the ID-drift sweep is T-1199.
Lead added the briefs/ + deferred.md pointers (araminta's cross-agent
note; her SendMessage to the author couldn't be delivered).

The asset-brief template (scope/visual-reference/naming/gen-path/
acceptance, one page) and five real briefs — station walls, rural walls,
doors, floors, furniture/props — each citing its D-235 axis tokens and
palette.md register rows (or the D-257 toon default), conventions.md
naming/mask/footprint rules, and the image-gen -> glb-gen -> promotion
path with concrete acceptance counts. Doors carry the negative
no-state-frame-files constraint (runtime mechanism stays Phase 5);
furniture/props' first acceptance is promoting the three unpromoted
spike GLBs. deferred.md is the formal register for the T-1051 four
(lamp posts, barns, TVs, billboards) + cars/Q-067, with rationale and
revisit triggers — satisfying T-1051's own 'or record formal deferral'
deliverable. Child stories under T-961 are created lead-side at merge.

Tyre finding 2: _log_atlas_view_transform's footprint_px now logs the
real on-screen pixel footprint (StepCanvasTransport.canvas_footprint_px
* canvas_scale — the same public pure function the terrain layer uses),
with the old cell-count field kept as canvas_cells. Live-verified the
divergence the fix exposes: Global logs footprint_px=(1528, 760) vs
canvas_cells=191x95 — the T-1192 fit-multiplier class the log exists to
root-cause, previously invisible under the mislabel.
Tyre finding 3: atlas_shots.json's one_shot_per_body note replaced by
rung_coverage stating the true distribution — 13 goldens across 7
bodies (per-rung coverage map, GJ380c's 3 shots as the invariance-proof
body, curated-subset rationale per T-1121). Corrects the prior commit
message's '12 new goldens' miscount: the true count everywhere is 13,
verified against shots array, visual.json entries, and PNGs on disk.

Tyre's PR #212 finding 1: the review-status row existed only in a live
DB, unrecorded in any git-tracked changelog — a rebuild reverted it.
Root cause: pql run from the capture worktree resolved the MAIN vault
(FR-4), so the write-through row landed here, uncommitted. Committing
it main-side makes the transition rebuild-safe; branch and main
changelog rows union at merge.

_setup_atlas_golden_shot and _run_atlas_matrix rebuilt on the real D-255
surface: nav.push('regional') through AtlasApp's own body-selection tail,
then StepCanvasViewer.jump_to at a fixed center (inventory item 5) — no
shim over the retired continuous-zoom API. is_pending()-aware bounded
settle (mirroring atlas_agent_driver.gd) and view-transform logging
(inventory item 3) wired into both capture paths. The 12 z2_0/z4_0/zfit
goldens are replaced by 12 (body, rung) goldens captured live against
fresh --test-mode servers; atlas_shots.json/visual.json re-keyed;
atlas_gen_open's stale gen_l1_* overlay ids fixed to gen_dw_temp.
Verification: two consecutive District runs byte-identical, and a
cold-vs-warm disk-cache invariance proof on both terrain draw branches
(Global/NEAREST, District/LINEAR) — byte-identical either way, so
capture output does not depend on the shared user://atlas_cache state.
DEVOPS.md's real-rendering exception note now records the fold-target
mapping for the smoke file T-1182 already deleted (Global + District
goldens exercise its two real-pixel draw branches). Old legacy-tracked
.import sidecars go with their PNGs; new goldens ship bare per
.gitignore's client/**/*.import rule.

user://atlas_cache/ is one directory for every worktree gate run, live
capture driver, and real play session, and T-1183's Tier-2/3 lookup
short-circuits BEFORE test_mode's silent-no-op IPC — so a warm shared
cache delivers real canvases into tests written against 'nothing ever
arrives'. Caught live: a concurrent GJ380c Global capture flipped the
two before-any-canvas viewer tests in another worktree's push gate.
Adds disk_cache_root_override on StepCanvasViewer (threads into
StepCanvasRequest's existing test-injection-only seam; production
leaves it empty) and routes every direct viewer construction in the
viewer + legend suites through a _make_viewer() helper pinning an
isolated root. First slice of T-1193's viewer test seam; screen-built
viewers still share the default root (noted on T-1193).

Authors the full style bible: camera table separating D-148 gameplay from
D-019 offline-renderer use; the delegated toon-vs-PBR ruling (environment
props share the character toon treatment, with a minimal-PBR carve-out for
glass/polished metal so sightlines read truthfully under occlusion-based
perception); a color/material register for every D-235 ObjectTag (hue,
grain, D-217-keyed weathering); and explicit supersession notes both ways
with visual-grammar-v01.md and the mood-board workshop transcript.
Includes branch-side pql changelog rows (T-1050/T-1052 -> review); the
worktree pre-commit export step failed benignly (write-through had
already refreshed the files) so they are staged explicitly here.
