| Unconfirmed outcome | Death during transfer | Last confirmed state kept, present location and outcome marked unconfirmed in words | Nothing asserted. Delivery, refuge, loss and safety are all withheld. Under the conditional [Death Shift And Rescue Continuity](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Death%20Shift%20And%20Rescue%20Continuity) proposal, the world outcome resolves before geometry moves, but its local closure tell is not transmitted aboard. Only later observation can update this knowledge; no receipt or safeguard selection is implied |

**3. An old route, and a transformer that refuses.** After a death the arrangement advances. In *Places*, the route captured in the previous arrangement is drawn in historical weight and says so; the roster reports joined, discovered-unjoined and anonymous counts and names nothing. The player walks to a seam where two faces are now adjacent, and the latch preview draws two arrowheads meeting head to head: both are outputs. No pulse is spent and no existing join changes. Inspecting the reversible gallery shows its current mode and its two named sides as a **present** local reading, in the live band, which cannot be filed as evidence without a capture. The player may change the mode; walking joins are untouched, which the three separate readings state plainly.

**4. A crossing that ends unconfirmed, and a bench that is not ready.** The rescue reads *prepared* — travel air confirmed **by the survivor**, abort place stocked, route walked this life — and the display keeps that "by the survivor" attached. The door opens: *in transfer*. The astronaut dies mid-crossing. The display holds the last confirmed state and marks present location and outcome **unconfirmed**; it asserts no abort, no delivery, no loss and no reunion, because the ordering rule that would decide it is unresolved. Aboard, the packing bench shows *setup incomplete*: one contribution is complete and the other is not, so no prepared-full canister exists and none appears in the manifest. Postponing costs nothing and no state changes because time passed.

**One credible simpler alternative.** A single context line: show only the most relevant action and one state, chosen by context. It is far cheaper, has no ladder to author, and is calmer to read. Its cost is exactly the moment this design exists for — the return margin and a locked strike cannot co-present, so the player cannot weigh a survival cost against a threat while acting, and provenance collapses into a prompt. Worth adopting if the ladder proves unreadable, and I would want that observed rather than argued.

**Gaps, left open rather than invented.** Target override or reselection is unchosen. General menu pause is proposed only. Rescue-versus-shift ordering, survivor loss, save policy, the final joining mechanism and whole-station completion behaviour remain owner or design decisions; hosted warning and reset needs use preparation-closed Encounter33, with its design proposals still distinct from owner selections. Specific mapping deltas belong to the global-04 and placement alignments. A complete cast dialogue, glyph, string and full state-transition inventory is later work, not this article.

**Gaps, left open rather than invented.** Target override or reselection is unchosen. General menu pause is proposed only. The protected rescue safeguard remains unselected; its conditional retreat-before-shift order is supplied by the current continuity proposal. Wider survivor loss, save policy, the final joining mechanism and whole-station completion behaviour remain owner or design decisions; hosted warning and reset needs use preparation-closed Encounter33, with its design proposals still distinct from owner selections.

**Scope note — what this delivers and what remains.** This is the parent inventory's **first component**: the finite state list with provenance, non-colour and non-audio forms and refusals, plus the journal/manifest structure and the option set with defaults. It is **not** a new envelope and no hours are subtracted on the strength of it, because a first-pass list is not the exhaustive one the estimate covers. What remains inside that 35–59 role-hours: a cue-by-cue form specification for every authored creature, mechanism, face and fixture rather than the 41 representative states here; the per-screen structure below section level; option interactions with each other; and the failure-message wording. Those must be deduplicated against survival cue work rather than added to it. No implementation, prototype, simulation, playtest, asset, framework or platform decision is proposed or performed here, and nothing above establishes that any of it is legible, usable or enjoyable.
