CMB102 second pass, added above this role's existing entry and deleting nothing (0 lines removed, checked by diff). Records contract r7 adopting R12 and R13 as proposed and assigning R11 to Combat, closing C13 and C14; REV105 confirming PMR007's four live copies closed at Combat r7; and the answer to EXT102's X32 on Mechanics/Combat, the page it names, where the composition budget caps within-district choice depth. States that the cap stays with its legibility reason and concedes its cost plainly, without conceding anything X32 did not ask. Notes REV105-1/-2/-3 are the Lead's and that REV105-3's unpriced pursuit beats need nothing from Combat, since pursuit range has a value and contact has a cost. PM owns the disposition.

**CMB102, second pass — 2026-09-07.** [Combat Rules r8 221c48](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Mechanics/Combat?revision=221c48).
+

**[Contract r7](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Mechanics/Power%20And%20Attraction) adopted R12 and R13 as proposed** — a crowd with no reachable lit beacon spreads from where it stands, "for a crowd a lure moved it is the place the lure died, never a teleport back"; and holding attaches to the beacon, not the ground, so a held crowd follows a moving one. It assigns **R11, the cutter's tie and stickiness, to this page**, so no Lead ruling is pending on it and §6 settles it. C13 and C14 close; C15 records R11. [REV105](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Review) records [PMR007 §3](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR007)'s four live copies as **closed at Combat r7**, and confirms R12/R13 consistent with the scenes both were written for.
+

**[EXT102's X32](/Hold%20the%20Flood/External%20Critique) answered on the page it names.** X32 now lists two pages citing [REF107](/Reference/Content%20Scale) zero times, and Mechanics/Combat is one. Fair: Enemies §0.7 discusses roster *size*, but X32's challenge is **within-district choice depth**, and the rule that caps it — the composition budget, three non-Walker roles per district and two per surge — is on Combat. §7 now engages it there. **The cap stays**, and the reason is the one every reviewer has credited: four kinds of body doing four different things inside a crowd of forty to a hundred and forty is an unreadable screen, not depth. **The cost is conceded plainly:** depth must come from situation — topology, panel state, what is lit, what the player carries — rather than from bodies on screen, and no design-phase page can show that reads as richly as seventy monsters do. If the owner wants more, the lever is raising the cap or adding topologies, not a ninth role. Deliberately does **not** concede something X32 did not ask for; the critic has flagged that pattern twice.

**REV105-1, -2 and -3 are the Lead's**, not this role's — including REV105-3's unpriced pursuit beats, which are the Lead applying this page's rule in DES105's ledgers rather than a gap in the rule. Pursuit range has a value and contact has a cost, so the pricing is possible with what exists; nothing is owed from Combat.
*(1) The live-copy corrections [PMR007 §3](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR007) names are done*, each replaced with a current pointer rather than annotated: the §0.2 paragraph that still called fixed-powered water unresolved **and recommended the rule the Lead had ruled against**; §6's Stunned row still admitting a Spark death; §6's charge paragraph still using most-room collection where [D023](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief)/E3 selects player-set shelter priority; the R3 paragraph still calling C2 open; and the competing presentation accounting on Enemies §0.6, now removed rather than left marked superseded, pointing at [Campaign §7](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign) as the single D025 list.
