Tim settled the last two questions: convention one-shot, and rules.mjs gains a real opposed roll (landed by a peer session at R-273). Both decisions change the document, and the one-shot unblocked the print pack. THE PRINT PACK — docs/scenarios/CLEAN_GROUND_HANDOUTS.html, guard 17. Four A4 sheets, self-contained, no external fonts or assets: H01 the coroner's note on white, H02 the 1962 committee minute on cream with photocopy grain, H03a and H03b the almanac on ruled paper. 11pt floor throughout. The binding constraint is that H03a and H03b must print identically or the almanac trick dies, so that is structural rather than careful: they share one `.almanac` class and every dimension comes from a variable defined once. There is no selector anywhere that names one page and not the other, and check-handouts fails the build if one appears, if their markup structures diverge, if their columns differ, if any row stops reading "41 mi", if the counts stop being forty-one now against fifty-three then, or if the pack and the scenario drift apart. It earned itself immediately: its first run failed my own pack for five rules at 10.5pt, under the house 11pt floor. Rendering was checked visually too, which caught two things no guard would have — the "TO CLEAN GROUND" header colliding with NOTES, and the writing crossing the red margin rule instead of starting right of it. THE ONE-SHOT. Countdown step 6 said "and this is a campaign", which the decision contradicts. Rewritten, and the Close's "leave it filed" ending now says how to land it tonight: do not end on "you'll be back", because the table never will and a hook they cannot take reads as an unfinished scenario. Name the next agent who gets sent, and have Registry thank them. THE OPPOSED ROLL. The scenario-local ruling is deleted; GM ESSENTIALS points at the game. Both beats were re-priced against the real rule by enumerating all 10,000 roll pairs -- exact, no seeds -- and two things fell out: THE OFFER IS PRICED. Ashcroft refusing is taken 21.9% of the time, the safest file at the table. Accepting: 48.7%, past Braithwaite's 37.6%. Accepting does not make him a bit more vulnerable, it makes him the easiest person in the room, and the countdown reaches for the easiest. STEP 5 CAN COME TO NOTHING, 14.5% of the time against an Ashcroft who accepted, and that row fires once and is marked permanent. Previously a silent gap in a climactic beat. It is now a written outcome with read-aloud text: the reach fails, it wears the wrong face for a moment, the party learns what it is and cannot prove it, and the clock still turns to step 6. Also: update-readme's count-word list ran out at sixteen, one guard after its own comment warned about hardcoded lists going stale. It failed loudly rather than silently, so it is an inconvenience and not a defect. Extended. npm run check: 17 guards, exit 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

/* ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
|
CLEAN GROUND — print-ready handout pack. A4, four sheets, one per page.
|
|
|
|
Print from a browser with BACKGROUND GRAPHICS ON, scale 100%, margins
|
|
"default". The cream of H02 and the ruled paper of H03 are backgrounds; with
|
|
them off, H02 prints on white and the almanac loses its rules, which does not
|
|
destroy either handout but does cost most of the effect.
|
|
|
|
THE ONE RULE THIS FILE EXISTS TO ENFORCE. H03a and H03b must be
|
|
indistinguishable except for their dates and figures — that is the entire
|
|
trick, and it dies the moment one of them is styled a hair differently from
|
|
the other. So they are not two designs that happen to match: they share one
|
|
class, `.almanac`, and every dimension they use comes from a variable defined
|
|
once below. There is deliberately no `.almanac-a` or `#h03b` anywhere in this
|
|
file. If you want to change the look of the almanac, change the variable and
|
|
both move together; if you find yourself adding a selector that names only one
|
|
of them, that is the bug, and `check-handouts` will fail the build for it.

<h2>RESERVE ENTRY (NORTHERN) — AUTHORISED</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The Committee approved the entry of a reserve holding of ground in the northern
|
|
march, of eleven miles and a fraction, to be recorded twice in order that one record
|
|
may be drawn upon without disturbance to the other.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The purpose of the reserve is to hold persons displaced by a general exchange, in
|
|
a place which is not on any list that an adversary may obtain. Members were reminded
|
|
that an unrecorded place cannot be targeted and cannot be requisitioned.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The entry is pegged to the standing boundary oak at Sike Head, being the feature
|
|
to which the march was recorded before the survey of 1861 and therefore the older of
|
|
the two authorities. The Committee was satisfied that the tree is in good health.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The Registrar drew the Committee's attention to the consequence of paragraph 2.
|
|
A place recorded as the place to which the displaced go is a place the record must
|
|
afterwards furnish with displaced persons. The Committee noted this and did not
|
|
regard it as an obstacle.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The entry is to be reviewed at the rising of the emergency, and cancelled if it
|
|
is found not to have been drawn upon.</li>
