Three parts: a census of twelve independent seeds rolled only as far as the
three outstanding branches; a played session on the seed that reached two of
them at once (4417); and a read of the Close, the only act never given a pass.
The census settles the "still untested" list. Ashcroft accepted and was taken
in 3 of 12 — one session in five or six, not rare, and nine passes missing it
was ordinary luck. The swap succeeded twice against an expected five, which is
a mildly cold run at p~0.05 and is recorded as noise: the four consecutive
failures passes 6-9 reported are the same thing from the other end.
1. The branch nobody had reached is the one the document has no answer for.
Act Four says taking the party's muscle "is a better scene than the anchor
being it" and then, one bullet later, arranges the anchor being it in 37%
of games. Ashcroft is not an interchangeable body: he holds the door
everyone else goes through, Transposition 63 is his, and the Close cannot
happen until somebody is back through. The document states all three facts
separately and never puts them together. The only guidance on a taken PC is
two sentences about the player's evening.
And it is worse than a gap, because the thing now has a reason to
cooperate: an understudy wearing the anchor does not need to escape the
party, it needs them to walk it home, and it holds the door properly
because that is what the file says an anchor does. That is the best scene
in the scenario and it is not written.
2. "Telling Ivy. Or not telling her" is called the act's real scene and is one
sentence — no read-aloud, no failure case, nothing downstream — in a
document that gives the fumbled Medicine six lines. And the Close opens
with Ivy asking whether there is a north, which only works if she was never
told. Its "works in both branches" covers how the PARTY learned, not
whether IVY was told.
3. The Close is the only scene in the document with no failure case, and its
failures are likely: the clock, a split table, a dead Ivy, a downed party.
4. "Four across, then cancel anyway" is a third ending, not a failed second
one, and choosing the four is the most brutal question the case can ask.
5. A critical Research at the depot, with nothing written above the success —
the second consecutive pass to land an unwritten special on the first
honest session after check-outcomes recorded 83.7%.
Five fixes listed, unapplied. npm run check: 20 guards pass.
