Vendored DARVO.csv, Relations.csv and Scenarios.csv — the three unread files that carry mechanism. The engine has implemented the DARVO sequence and relation formation/breaking from GroundRules.md since the beginning, and had never read the game owner's statement of them. Every checkable clause agrees, and agreement is recorded rather than noted: a survey that finds nothing and leaves no trace cannot be told from one never run. The two hardest clauses to notice were already right — Focus placed "even if the Attack was cancelled", and Focus removed when the sequence ends before REVERSE. The tests are tripwires, not derivations. The match was made by a person reading prose, and that reading goes stale in silence when the prose changes; each behaviour pins the phrase it was read from, so a reworded edition goes red and asks for a human. Mutation-proven by rewording the cancelled-Attack clause. F25 raised, and it is the real yield: Scenarios.csv carries threshold_2_players/3_4/5_6, starting_stress and round_track, and the engine hardcodes all three — a match returning 5/7/9, stress: 2 at setup, five rounds. They agree on all four scenarios. These are the most contested numbers in the project; the whole 4/6/9 vs 5/7/9 episode turned on them, and the engine has been right by maintenance coincidence rather than by reading the file that owns them. Also pinned: Problems.csv and Scenarios.csv both state the deal and the engine reads only the first. They agree; nothing was checking. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| 1 | stage_order | stage | symbol_id | mandatory_effect | target_memory | advance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 | DENY | SYM_DENY | Choose one face-up, unsolved Problem not protected by GROUND—OU. Turn it face down and place a Denied token on it. Ordinary Investigate cannot reveal it. | None. | Advance to ATTACK unless the sequence is ended by GROUND or Bond Support. |
| 3 | 2 | ATTACK | SYM_DARVO_ATTACK | Make one extra Attack against any other player. Resolve it with the normal relation rules. Then place your Focus/Blame token Focus-side beside that target, even if the Attack was cancelled. | The Focus target becomes the target of REVERSE. | Advance to REVERSE unless the sequence is ended; remove Focus if the sequence ends before REVERSE. |
| 4 | 3 | REVERSE | SYM_REVERSE | Target the player holding your Focus. Unless they reject it with GROUND—ND, flip your Focus token to Blame in front of them, give them +1 Stress, and take one Protection token. Then reduce your own Stress by 2. | Focus becomes Blame and remains with the target until removed by GROUND—ND. | End the DARVO sequence. |
