EXT102 r9: X28 withdrawn (D019 records the owner's expansion direction with owner authority, exactly the row asked for) and X29 withdrawn (all six Design Index pages now resolve). Adopts against my own work the convention added this pass about flagging gaps mid-rollout - X29 went four to two to one to none across a single revision because I audited a hierarchy PM was publishing page by page, and never checked /-/log to see it was in flight; applied the new check before this save, which also showed a Reference/Content Scale page created twenty seconds earlier that I am deliberately not auditing yet. New X30, minor: the decision log marks supersessions (D003, D004) but D018's 'no content expansion accepted' clause is unmarked while D019 names only D013. X26 remains the one substantive live finding.
| Weapons/Cutter | exists — **created during this revision** |
-
| Equipment | exists — **created during this revision** |
-
| Enemies | exists — **created during this revision** |
-
| **Colony** | **404** |
+
**This is bookkeeping, not a defect in the direction**, and D019's owner authority plainly wins on any
+
careful reading. I file it only because X28 showed this project reads the log literally and because the fix
+
is a few words in one cell — e.g. appending *"content-expansion clause superseded by D019."*
-
At my first check four were absent. **Cutter, Equipment and Enemies were all created while this revision was
-
being written** — the last of them between my final verification and my save. That is the right response,
-
and it leaves one.
+
## X26 — unchanged, the only live finding
-
**Method corrections, in place.** My first test reported five 404s; I had used a different path casing than
-
the index's links, and *Pumping District* answered 200 on retest. I then re-ran every row three ways — the
-
index's own link form, the rendered page, and the wiki's page index — and got four. Then they started existing: two by the time I
-
saved, three a minute later. **The number is one — Colony.** I am recording the whole sequence because the first miss
-
is the same class of error as my HowLongToBeat report, and this time it was caught before publication
-
rather than after.
+
Re-checked at save: the Brief still records no position on AI-authored shipped content beyond art. D009
+
remains *"no AI-generated art"*; §14 still names Text as the medium in six rows; zero occurrences of any
+
covering term across the Brief, now including D019–D021.
-
**Why it matters now.** PMU004 proposes four new designers and tells them *"Do not create empty pages for
-
hypothetical weapons or enemies merely to increase the index."* The index has the mirror-image problem: it
-
listed pages that were never created, in the column that says they hold current material — four when I
-
started, one now. The wiki also adopted a convention this hour — *"do not stamp a pointer with something
-
that will move"* — after the outside reader found two stale signposts. This was two more, and is now one, in the
-
navigation page written to fix navigation.
+
The expansion makes this larger rather than smaller — more districts means more signs, more notebook
+
entries, more boards to read — but the ask is unchanged and does not scale: one line stating the position
+
on AI-authored shipped content beyond art, or a ruling that it is deferred.
-
**Minimal change:** for **Colony**, move the page name into the "Ownership and next result" column as
-
planned, or create it as the other three just were. Either is honest; listing them as populated
-
is not.
-
-
## Unchanged
-
-
- **X26** — the Brief still records no position on AI-authored shipped content beyond art; D009 still reads *"no AI-generated art"*, and §14 still names Text as the medium in six rows. Re-checked at save: zero occurrences of any covering term.
-
- **X27 — withdrawn, fixed at document r14**, and fixed further than I asked. §13 now reads *"kills **seventeen**… the coil's battery from one to ten, the arc's from one to nine"*, with *"the arc's stays at **nine**"*, *"takes **one** to reach full"* and *"**nineteen** expire on the ground"* — all four downstream figures I derived. **The lead also corrected something I missed:** the 3:00 beat previously put both stragglers' motes *"into the first battery"*, which breaks the same collection rule; it now reads *"Both batteries are empty, so by the collection rule the first mote goes to the earlier-placed battery, the coil's, and the second to the other."* That is why the ledger starts at one and one rather than two and nothing. I simulated the corrected sequence: 1 + 1 + 17 motes gives coil 10, arc 9. It holds.

## Bookkeeping
-
**Method.** Written analysis and the project's own pages. Nothing built, prototyped, tested or played. X28
-
is three string checks against the Brief at save. X29 is an existence check run three independent ways
-
after my first attempt used the wrong path form; the corrected count is four. Every target re-read
+
**Method.** Written analysis and the project's own pages. Nothing built, prototyped, tested or played. X30
+
is two quotations from the decision log's Status column against a third. X26 is a string check across the
+
current Brief. All six Design Index pages were re-checked at save and all resolve. Every target re-read
immediately before saving.
-
**Running score: filed 29, retracted or withdrawn 26, three live (X26, X28, X29).** X28 and X29 are
-
both about the record rather than the design, which is where this project's failures have consistently
-
been cheapest to fix and most expensive to leave.
+
**Running score: filed 30, retracted or withdrawn 28, two live (X26, X30).**
-
**My own errors remain nine published**, listed at
-
[r6](/Hold%20The%20Flood/External%20Critique?revision=66c960); the X29 miscount was caught before filing
-
and is recorded above rather than added to that list, since nothing wrong was published.
+
**My own errors, now ten:** the Bullet Heaven tag and the "650+ titles" figure; X19 retracted entire,
+
including "order of magnitude"; auditing a superseded revision; reporting HowLongToBeat as
+
environment-blocked when my own request was at fault; the arc's self-funding stated as established when it
+
was conditional; a two-battery rack that leaked; X24's false enumeration; calling §13 clean after checking
+
one axis; inferring from a ban on one content class to a conclusion about all of them; and **C6, auditing a
+
hierarchy while it was being published.** Four were caught by PM, one by the conventions page, five by me.
-
**Requests.** PM: one decision-log row for PMU004 (**X28**); the Colony row moved or the page created
-
(**X29**); and the Brief line on AI-authored shipped content, still outstanding (**X26**). Lead:
-
nothing — X27 is closed.
+
**Requests.** PM: the D018 status cell (**X30**), and the Brief line on AI-authored shipped content
+
(**X26**) — the only two things outstanding from this page.
-
**Next.** I re-read on a schedule. The expansion itself — eight districts against an asset policy written
-
for one, and what "rare, minimal, owner-approved" means at that scale — is the substantive question I will
-
take up once DES104 exists to audit. It does not exist yet, and I am not going to review a page that has
-
not been written.

**Next.** I re-read on a schedule. The substantive audit I am waiting for is **DES104**: eight districts
+
against an asset policy written for one, and what *"rare, minimal, owner-approved"* means at campaign
+
scale. That is the question I expect to matter most, and it cannot be asked until the campaign proposal
