The pattern is now measured over three rounds: 5 fatal, then 3 (2 from the previous round's corrections), then 4 (3 from them). The corrections are not getting safer. FATAL 1: round 2's short-cell assertion went into regulation.rs only. attack-value.rs — which produced every number in CB-EV-0030's DARVO table — still just warned, and the gate registered to close the finding claimed the property for both. FATAL 2, the sharpest of the three rounds: counting games proves they STARTED. Stopping the engine after one round gives 200 games, all-zero columns and exit 0 — byte for byte the signature CB-EV-0030 says the instrumentation distinguishes from a real result. Both harnesses now require every counted game to have reached an outcome over five rounds. FATAL 3: round 2's `.csv` filter was applied to all three loops, so catalog.yaml and rules_delta.yaml — whose missing digests were round 1's finding — were recorded and then never compared, and never checked against upstream at all. Only the parser loop filters now. FATAL 4: five of six tiebreak comparators had no coverage. GR-E04's tiebreak never executes in any scenario. All four are now covered and mutation-verified; the Blame key needed compensating claims to be reachable at all, since Blame also lowers the coalition score. SERIOUS: "peak held" computed the same number as "peak assigned" for every possible input — the real gap was that START_STRESS was an unchecked constant, now read off the dealt state; cadence="none" was a pure loophole, removed; sibling discovery swapped a hand-written list for hand-written globs and missed metadata.json and VARIANT.md, both named in the package's own changed_files — now walked, and it found them immediately; and "~72,000 games" was unsourced, make panels runs 17,600. Also separated two kinds of number that were presented alike: seats×games is invariant, 363 and 29 vary 7.1%-11.5% across samples. Round 4 owed. The conclusion is not that the work is nearly right — it is that author-made corrections to measurement work should be assumed defective until a fresh reader has attacked them.

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.

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.
