vendor tool that covers what the gate checks
They ruled on all seven items the same day. Two were actionable here.
F28 RULED: points. Modes.csv MODE_COOP clarified upstream to say
"penalties apply to points, not card count"; mastery is now
total - blame - denied. A recorded scenario went red on it --
gr-e02-shared-ground pinned 0 (2 claimed CARDS - 1 - 1) and now expects
2 (4 POINTS - 1 - 1). The number moved because the rule was decided, not
because the engine drifted, and the scenario records both rulings; its
schema has no field for a second one, so both live in ruled_note with
`ruled` carrying the LATEST date.
F29 RULED not-intended and APPLIED upstream: SCN_02's suits re-tuned the
same day. The characterisation test is how we found out -- it pinned the
duplication, went red on the re-tune, and that red WAS the notification.
It now asserts every pair distinct, the stronger statement the
duplication had made unavailable. SCN_02 re-measures at 73 at 2p, not
67: its own board now.
F26/F30 ruled and recorded. F30's ruling incidentally confirms our
reading -- they name priority-2's suit as the first lever, which is the
difference we identified without having measured causation.
vendor-editions grew twice, both times because it covered less than the
gate it exists to satisfy:
- It refused to touch ground-darvo-r0/ on the reasoning that the
baseline is "a separate record". That was wrong within the hour:
ground-game clarified Modes.csv and `make vendor` reported a clean
sync while edition-check went red. A sync tool that covers less than
its check reports success into a red gate.
- Its two-block rewrite DETECTED which fence held which set and
preserved the arrangement -- faithfully preserving a swap an earlier
write had introduced, leaving each fence under a heading describing
the other. edition-check reads every sha256 line flat and passed
throughout: a document can be self-consistently wrong and green.
Order is now asserted, with a control that goes red on a swap.

Why these three, now. The engine already implements the DARVO
sequence and relation formation/breaking — from GroundRules.md, never
from the edition's own statement of them. That is not inert display data;
it is rules taken from a secondary source and never checked against the
primary one, and CB-WP-0037 T02 exists to check them.
Player_Mats.csv is the reason a file is not the unit. It is mostly
ornamentation — a symbol, a colour, a title per seat — and one column,
choice_rule, is GR-R03 itself: "At Stress 0-3 choose any action. At
Stress 4-5 choose ATTACK or GROUND unless you spend a ready Freedom
token." Classifying the file would have thrown the rule away with the
colour swatches (see Ornamentation.md §1.4).
Deliberately absent: BOM, Print_Manifest, Back_Designs,
Symbols, Design_Tokens — production artifacts for a physical print
run, meaningless to a simulator, and now declared as ornamentation with
falsifiers rather than merely skipped
(OrnamentRegister.md O5-O7). And Extensions.csv, which names content
the designer placed outside the core; importing it would break the claim
that this engine plays the edition as printed (ADR-0015 D2).
The catalog and the H1 experiment package
Vendored 2026-08-08 from ground-game 8886543 (CB-WP-0038). These are
outside this directory — editions/catalog.yaml and
editions/experiments/h1-problem-stress/ — because the catalog selects
between packages and does not belong inside one.
Digests were claimed for these by CB-WP-0038 T01 and not recorded; the adversarial review (CB-REV-0001) reported it unverified and it was a real gap.

H2 vendored 2026-08-08 (CB-WP-0042). Its Problems.csv is r0's with
one column added — stress_scope — and nothing else changed: same
rows, same point_value, required_solution, visibility and
hidden_priority. That is checked, not assumed, because the delta's
unchanged: list claims deal_and_thresholds and a silent change there
would move every baseline hash.
rules_delta.yaml is the load-bearing one: it is the executable
statement of H1, and the kernel implements it. A silent change there is a
silent change to what we measured.

make edition-check compares this against ../ground-game when that
repository is present, and reports upstream not checked out as a
distinct outcome when it is not — never a pass. An absent check is
reported absent, not treated as satisfied (the shape ADR-0009 used for
node).
What may not change under this revision
Per GROUND-WP-0002 T01's contract: point_value and
required_solution are authoritative and frozen within r0. The
engine hashes game state and both values are in that state, so a silent
change would rot every recorded scenario expectation. A change to either
is a new revision (-r1), and this digest is what notices.
The catalog & module mirror (CB-WP-0048)
editions/catalog.yaml, ASPECTS.md, CATALOG.md and modules/ mirror
ground-game so tools resolve paths without requiring a sibling checkout.
ground-game remains the authority for every design decision in them.
They are recorded above like any other sibling. The digest block is
generated by walking editions/, not typed: CB-REV-0002 #8 and
CB-REV-0003 #8 both found hand-written lists that made their own controls
vacuous, and a mirror that grows a directory is the case that breaks a
list a human maintains.
This note used to be editions/PROVENANCE-catalog.md — a file inside the
mirrored tree that upstream does not have, which edition-check correctly
refused as unexplained. Provenance about the mirror is ours, so it lives
with our other provenance rather than inside the thing it describes.
