Declare CB-WP-0021: import the edition, tier M

GROUND-WP-0002 T01 ruled the edition dataset authoritative, so the engine
must stop inventing Problem values and suits. Problems.csv carries 5
problems per scenario worth 2,2,2,3,3 (total 12) with a required_solution
each; the stand-in deals 3 worth 1,2,3 (total 6). GR-E01's thresholds of
5/7/9 are ordinary against 12 and unreachable against 6 -- which is why
the maintainer's last game ended 0 scores and winners nobody, and why
'GR-E01 unreachable below 5 seats' was carried as a rules gap. It was
never a rules gap.

Measured before declaring: AM-4a has 3,798 lines of headroom and a CSV
crate costs 21,613 marginal (csv 14,291 + csv-core 3,360 + ryu 3,962;
itoa/memchr/serde/serde_core are already present and free). 5.7x over, so
the shipped runtime cannot gain a CSV parser and that is settled by
measurement rather than preference.

The ADR's third question is the one that bites: Problem values and suits
become part of GroundState, which is hashed, so every recorded state hash
changes. A content import that quietly invalidates every hash in a
project whose central invariant is replay determinism is not a
data-loading change.

Chaos d8=7, no override.

# Purpose
```
structural tier M (adds or refuses an external dependency, and changes
how a game is set up — a canonical interface)
chaos d8 = 7 → no override
declared tier M
```
Declaration 4 of chaos window 2.
## The engine has been playing a stand-in
`games/ground/src/lib.rs` builds Problems with `value: priority` and suits
cycled by index. `editions/ground-darvo-r0/Problems.csv` has carried the
real thing since 2026-07-31, and **GROUND-WP-0002 T01 ruled it
authoritative on 2026-08-03**:
| | problems/scenario | values | total | suits |
|---|---:|---|---:|---|
| `Problems.csv` | **5** | 2, 2, 2, 3, 3 | **12** | `required_solution` per problem |
| the stand-in | 3 | 1, 2, 3 | **6** | cycled by index |
GR-E01's thresholds are 2p → 5, 34p → 7, 56p → 9. **Ordinary against 12,
unreachable against 6** — which is why the maintainer's last game ended
`0` scores and `winners nobody`, and why clay-borg has been carrying
`GR-E01 unreachable below 5 seats` as a rules gap for ground-game to rule
on. It was never a rules gap.
## The constraint, measured before declaring
**AM-4a has 3,798 lines of headroom.** A CSV crate costs, marginally
against the shipped graph:
| crate | lines |
|---|---:|
| `csv` | 14,291 |
| `csv-core` | 3,360 |
| `ryu` | 3,962 |
| **marginal total** | **21,613** |
**5.7× the available headroom.** `itoa`, `memchr`, `serde` and
`serde_core` are already present and cost nothing; the parser itself is
what does not fit.
So the shipped runtime cannot gain a CSV parser, and that is settled by
measurement rather than by preference. What remains is *which* of the
alternatives to take, and that is the ADR.
## Task: decide how the data reaches the game
```task
id: CB-WP-0021-T01
status: todo
priority: high
```
Write `decisions/ADR-0011-*.md` (tier M: survey and decision in one).
**Three questions, and the third is the one that bites.**
**(a) Where does the data live?** `ground-game` is a separate repository.
Depending on a sibling checkout makes the build depend on a path that may
not exist; vendoring a copy makes clay-borg carry content it does not own.
Whichever is chosen must say how a copy is known to be current, because a
silently stale copy is worse than no copy.
**(b) How is it parsed, given a CSV parser does not fit?** Candidates, and
each needs its marginal cost stated rather than assumed:
- hand-rolled reader in `games/ground` — small, but it is a parser we
then own, and `problem_text` contains commas;
- **bake it**: a dev-time step converts the CSV into a generated Rust
module or compact literal, so the shipped runtime parses **nothing**.
Then the generated artifact must be proven to match its source, which
is the DFD class this repo already has machinery for;
- load nothing at runtime and treat the data as scenario input.
**(c) What does this do to determinism?** Problem values and required
suits become part of `GroundState`, which is hashed (K7). **Every recorded
state hash changes.** Before writing code, establish what actually pins a
hash today — `make sim` runs 25 scenarios, `replay-test` re-executes
bundles, and AM-7's probe asserts per-segment hashes. Say which of those
break, and whether any of them are *supposed* to be stable across a
content change.
**This is the reason the ADR exists.** A content import that quietly
invalidates every recorded hash, in a project whose central invariant is
replay determinism, is not a data-loading change.
## Task: import it, and let the thresholds mean something
```task
id: CB-WP-0021-T02
status: todo
priority: high
```
Replace the stand-in. `setup` must build Problems from the edition data:
`point_value`, `required_solution`, `visibility` (Surface → face up,
Hidden → face down) and `hidden_priority`.
**Controls:**
- **The stand-in must become unreachable.** A test that the fixture
constants no longer appear — a `value: priority` that survives beside
real data is a fallback nobody will notice until the numbers look odd
again.
- **A scenario must be able to reach GR-E01's threshold at 2 players**,
which is the specific thing that was impossible. Assert the arithmetic,
not just that a game runs.
- The 5-problem shape must survive: the stand-in dealt 3, and code that
assumed 3 will not announce itself.
## Task: retire the rules gap that was never one
```task
id: CB-WP-0021-T03
status: todo
priority: medium
```
`gr-e01-threshold-unreachable-2p` is tagged `provisional: true` with
`provisional_owner: ground-game`, and its description says group success
*"is unreachable at 2, 3 and 4 players"*. If T02 lands, that scenario is
asserting a property of the **stand-in**, not of the game.
Retire or rewrite it, and **say which of the six provisional items this
resolves**, so GROUND-WP-0002 T03 shrinks rather than being left to
rediscover it. Message `ground-game` with the outcome — the last such
message sat unread for four days because nothing pointed at it.
Do **not** quietly delete a failing-in-fact scenario. CB-EV-0005: *a score
improved by deleting the question is not an improvement.*
## Task: evidence
```task
id: CB-WP-0021-T04
status: todo
priority: high
```
`evidence/CB-EV-0019-*.md`.
- **What the import cost**, against the 3,798 lines that were available.
- **What broke**, especially hashes, and whether the blast radius was
predicted in T01 or discovered in T02. If it was discovered, say so —
that is the ADR having missed something.
- **Whether the endings now mean anything**: play one and report the
score against the threshold.
- **Quote CB-WP-0020's cost by re-running the instrument.**
- **Chaos: 4 of 12 in window 2.**
