While you were out

Superseded as an IA — retained as the content source. In v2 the morning-after is the wrap segment inside the lane, not its own view. This page keeps the full design of the three cards that segment shows — minutes, the row of face clips, the diff — and the v2 dock opens them unchanged. Superseded by pointer; nothing deleted.

The room ran three rounds on punch up act two and stopped at the gate. Nothing has been applied. Three proposals are waiting on you, and one continuity contradiction is open that no seat is allowed to fix.

Stopped at GATE, rounds cap reached. Not budget — 56 calls were left. Round 3 repeated round 2 because the taste call on Wren was never made, so the room converged on structure and stalled on voice.

Act two pass — session minutes

The room agreed on one thing early and never came back to it: the hinge is an accusation, not a reveal. Both writer seats arrived at moving scene 14 ahead of 13 without conferring, and the Reference Reader found four comparable midpoints in the corpus that turn the same way. That is the strongest signal the session produced.

It did not settle the voice. Deji can put Wren want on the page and it lands, but she stops being ambiguous. Mira holds that readable Wren costs more than the scene gains. That is a taste conflict and the ruleset defers taste to you, so I did not arbitrate it. Round three then repeated round two, which is why we stopped short with budget still in hand.

Hal notes are line-level and I would take them as a batch. Wen has flagged two canon contradictions; one of them — Wren driving in 14 — is load-bearing and unresolved. Continuity cannot fix it, by design, so it needs a writer or it needs the canon unlocking.

Open
  • The Wren voice call. Nothing moves past it.
  • Wren drives in scene 14, against locked act-one canon.
  • Scene 15 still has no want of its own.
Not attempted
  • Act one and the ending — canon-locked in the brief.
  • Any voiceover solution — tone red line.

Figures and pages are illustrative. The seats, the paces and the approval behaviour are the design. Back to the pack →
