what happened

Nobody wrote this one down. The flight recorder kept the subject line: “Initial commit: ASTEROIDS // HYPERCOLOR”

the numbers

the commit, drawn

5 sectors on the scan, each drawn as the thing it is; 5 of them arrived in this commit; the heavy one is index.html.

meanwhile

While v1 was on the cabinet, David Friedrich changed the rules.

landed as “Twelve rules, a referee, and a ledger nobody writes for themselves” — 06 August 2026

The rules themselves were altered: the rules had drifted from the checks that enforce them. GR2 now admits the one tool that talks to the network and says exactly how far that goes; src/game/tally.js joins the commons, because a punishment the punished can switch off is not one; GR5 and GR11 name the machinery they actually stand on; and the counts in the rulebook, the referee and the hooks finally agree with each other.

On this day David Friedrich invoked an override: GR6 - the referee cannot land in pieces. tools/chronicle.sh is 1215 lines by itself and clears the budget alone, so splitting buys no smaller commit, only more of them. GR10 already forces this to land apart from the game; this is that half, whole.
