what happened

Dave took the game apart into forty-four modules and wired a ledger into it that counts his own overrides, which is either integrity or a very patient trap.

landed as “The cabinet learns your name, and starts keeping score”

the numbers

the commit, drawn

12 sectors on the scan, each drawn as the thing it is; 11 of them arrived in this commit; 1 came back lighter than it went; the heavy one is index.html, with 48 smaller left off the scan.

override

GR5

index.html stops being the game and becomes the door to it. The 3366 lines it loses are not deleted, they are the same lines living in src/ as modules, which is the whole point of GR3.

override

GR6

the extraction cannot be split. Every intermediate commit would be a page that lists modules it does not yet ship, and that is a cabinet that does not boot - GR1, a red line, and the more important of the two. One surprise, then, but a large one.

meanwhile

While v2 was on the cabinet, David Friedrich changed the rules.

The rules themselves were altered: the referee learns that docs/faces/ is generated, exactly as it already knows docs/art/ is, so a painted face is nobody's work to own and nobody's to be judged for. CLAUDE.md, .env.example and .gitattributes say what the faces are, that a face has no second sitting, and how two clones merge a list of them.

While v2 was on the cabinet, David Friedrich did some housekeeping.

The ledger, written by the machine and not by the pilot: David Friedrich - 3
