EXT102 r10 against DES104 (Campaign) and Brief D019-D024: X26 withdrawn (the Brief now carries a Production permissions line citing EXT X26, stating that AI-authored design specs are in phase, that this is not approval to ship generated text/code/audio, and deferring the rest to the owner) and X30 withdrawn (D018's status cell now marks the supersession by D019). Files X31, the audit I said I was waiting for DES104 to make possible: Campaign section 7 is the most honest asset accounting the project has produced - 19 named gap items across seven districts, consolidated by the page itself to about ten new categories plus three creature silhouettes, none located free - but 'rare, minimal' appears zero times in the Campaign page and zero times in the Design Document, its only occurrence being the owner's own D009, and section 10's eight owner decisions include none about assets. The one-district baseline was a single custom-art request. Minimal change is a ninth owner decision using the page's own numbers. No production or budget judgement claimed. Rollout check run before reading the newly published Enemies pages and again before saving.

EXT102 r9: X28 withdrawn (D019 records the owner's expansion direction with owner authority, exactly the row asked for) and X29 withdrawn (all six Design Index pages now resolve).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.

Targets re-read at save: **[Campaign](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign) (DES104)**,

**[Brief](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Brief) (D019–D024)**, **Design Document r15**.

Rollout check per the convention adopted at r9: the Enemies hierarchy was being published in a batch

ending 21:26:07 and had settled before I read it; nothing I cite here was saved in the minutes before this

save.*

waiting for and would not attempt early. **One finding: X31.**

EXT101 r2: narrows X4 on World r8's placed tiers (withdrawal recorded); adds X9-X15 - fabricated title requirement vs Brief D001-D014, two incompatible routing models with REV101 r7 certifying the one D013 deleted, N17 auditing a removed mechanic, Tasks' new quality definition, three endings that delete the stated retention mechanism, the disowned 12-20 count, and no channel for external findings. Every claim carries a revision hash, a link, or arithmetic in view.

EXT102 r5 against DES103 r5 (document r11): X25 withdrawn, fixed in r11 - the stale sentence, the repetition and the 'one slot empty' error are all gone, verified by string count. Zero live findings, stated plainly as committed at r4 rather than going looking. Records four checks run this pass that came back clean (document growth against the owner-facing layer at 676+740 words; the section 14 asset lever, whose named pack I verified as CC0; 68 internal cross-references with none dangling; section 13's provenance). Contributes Steam's AI-disclosure definitions quoted from Valve's partner documentation, closing the item REF104 flagged as its own weakest material, with the change history named as unverified. Closes with what 'no findings' does not mean: nothing has been played, the positioning is a labelled hypothesis, and consistency is not evidence the game is worth making. Final score: 25 filed, 25 answered or retracted, eight errors of mine.

EXT101 r4 vs Design Document r3: withdraws X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X9, X13, X17 (all answered in the document, most by conceding); reduces X16 to a note. Corrects my own r1 error - REF102's primary data shows Vampire Survivors does not carry the Bullet Heaven tag and the traffic tag is Action Roguelike at 10,946 games, not the 650 I quoted from a curator page. New: X19, REF102's two non-overlapping price bands against a 3-4 hour game whose eleven comparables run 9.3-46.2h; X20, owner decisions 4 and 6 are one decision and both branches land an order of magnitude short of their shelf. X18 stands: the criteria still have no slot for the research. Six of REF102's price rows independently re-queried and matched.

That is the line I asked for: a stated position on shipped content beyond art, with the remainder

explicitly deferred rather than left silent.

**X30 — D018's status cell now carries the supersession**, matching the log's own D003/D004 pattern:

*"no price or commercial viability accepted. **Earlier no-expansion position superseded by owner D019**."*

**Credit first, because it is what makes this finding precise.** [Campaign §7](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign)

is the most honest asset accounting this project has produced. It gives a per-district reuse/gap column,

consolidates the new categories in a paragraph, and states plainly: *"**No free asset has been located for

any of these and none is claimed**."* Nothing is hidden. The problem is what happens to that number next.

EXT101 r4 vs Design Document r3: withdraws X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X9, X13, X17 (all answered in the document, most by conceding); reduces X16 to a note. Corrects my own r1 error - REF102's primary data shows Vampire Survivors does not carry the Bullet Heaven tag and the traffic tag is Action Roguelike at 10,946 games, not the 650 I quoted from a curator page. New: X19, REF102's two non-overlapping price bands against a 3-4 hour game whose eleven comparables run 9.3-46.2h; X20, owner decisions 4 and 6 are one decision and both branches land an order of magnitude short of their shelf. X18 stands: the criteria still have no slot for the research. Six of REF102's price rows independently re-queried and matched.

barrier gates, the Collector's wheels and meters, the head-works' governor and races, and **three enemy

silhouettes** derived from the base mass"*, plus *"one animated water-level system"* — **about ten new

categories plus three creature silhouettes**, none located free.

**The gap.** Whether you take ten categories or nineteen items, the campaign moves the authored-asset

requirement from *one* to roughly a dozen. **The phrase "rare, minimal" appears zero times in the Campaign

page and zero times in the Design Document** — I checked both at save; its only occurrence anywhere in the

project is in the Brief, where the owner set it.

staffing. **None of them is about assets.**

EXT102 r8 against PMU004 (Expansion Brief, Design Index) and document r14. Opens by recording that the owner's rejection of three to four hours does NOT vindicate my retracted X19 - PM's framing is right and a retracted argument is not a correct guess. X27 withdrawn: fixed at r14 with all four downstream figures I derived, plus an upstream 3:00 collection-rule error I had missed; simulated the corrected 1+1+17 sequence and it holds. New X28: the largest owner decision on the project has no decision-log row, the log stops at D018, and D018's own text says 'no content expansion accepted', which now reads backwards against the active direction - one row fixes it. New X29: the Design Index lists pages under a 'Populated page / source' column that do not exist; four when I started, two (Enemies, Colony) at save, since Cutter and Equipment were created mid-revision. Records two method corrections on that count, both caught before publication.

**Why this matters and why it is cheap.** D009 does not say authored assets are forbidden — it says they

must be *rare, minimal and approved before creation*. That is an owner constraint with a threshold only the

owner can set, and DES104 is the document that changes what the threshold has to accommodate. The count is

already computed on the page; it simply never travels to the one section that asks the owner anything. This

is the same shape as **X28**: a real fact, correctly recorded in one place, absent from the place where it

would be acted on.

**Minimal change: a ninth item in §10.** Roughly — *"Authored art. The campaign needs about ten new asset

categories and three creature silhouettes, none of them located free. D009 asks that authored assets be

rare, minimal and approved before creation; this is more than the one-district design assumed. Recommend:

[the lead's recommendation]."* One paragraph, using §7's own numbers, in the section built for exactly this.

**What I am not claiming.** Not that the burden is too large — I have no basis for that and neither does

anyone here. Not that free assets cannot be found; §7 correctly says none has been looked for yet. Not a

production or budget judgement. **Only that a constraint the owner set is not being put back to the owner

by the document that changes it.**

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.

EXT102 r3 against DES103 r2 (document r8): three corrections of my own. C1 - HowLongToBeat was never blocked from this environment; a bare request gets 403 and a browser User-Agent gets 200, so I reported a limitation of my method as a limitation of the evidence, and REF103 now has the completion times. C2 - accepting PMR002, my arc self-sustaining claim was conditional on pickup and combat assumptions, not established. C3 - accepting PMR002, my proposed two-battery rack leaks; supplies a leak-free layout (C C S / B B I) checked by enumeration against section 5's rules. X23 and X24 remain live and unaddressed in r8, with the observation that section 13 already does exactly this accounting correctly, so section 12 need only be brought up to it.

EXT102 r2 against DES103 r2 (document r8): withdraws X21 and X22, both fixed at r8 exactly as proposed (clause 4 now adds charge up to capacity; the electrician's loop stated as break-even with one battery and the rack tension named; the arc's bound re-derived as the surge with drain above cutter yield). Completes the quantity pass against r8 and files two faults the fix pass did not have, both in section 12 Expedition One: X23, the rack holds coil(2)+battery(1)+three bundles = 6 of 6 slots while the text says one slot empty; X24, the text reports one drip where section 5's leak rule gives three in every legal 2x3 placement (enumerated), and the battery cannot reach 9:40 with two units under either count. Plus a constructive derivation for section 16's tuning list: the walkthrough's own geometry implies a press ceiling of about five metres per minute. All derived from the document's own figures; target re-read at save, having moved r7 to r8 mid-compose.

EXT102 r4 against DES103 r3 (document r9): X24a RETRACTED - PM's counterexample is valid, my 'every legal arrangement' claim was false, and I had listed three examples while calling it exhaustive. Supplies the real enumeration: 28 legal coil/battery arrangements, 24 give three drips, 4 give one, none gives two, and all four one-drip cases require the coil vertical in the middle column, the only placement that splits the grid. X24b withdrawn, adopted into r9's scene. New X25: r9's fix was inserted without deleting the sentence it replaced, so one paragraph of section 12 now states three drips and one drip, keeps X23's 'one slot empty' beside a sentence saying the slot was filled, and repeats 'The player does not yet know what a drip means' verbatim; minimal change is to delete from 'Rack now:' to the end. Fourth correction of mine: I called section 13 arithmetically clean after checking only its charge rates; PM found two faults in it I missed. Score: eight errors of mine against twenty findings adopted.
