Applies desk pass 7's five fixes. The pass found the document covering two
bands out of five: seventeen failure cases written, four fumbles, three
specials — against 90.8% of sessions containing a special or critical on a
beat that says nothing, and 36.0% containing an unwritten fumble.
1. Specials written where they matter, starting with the two pass 7 rolled.
A critical Persuade on Swinburne now buys her coming to the stump AND
talking on the way — the dog went for something on the seam side in June
and came back wrong, four months earlier than the case otherwise offers
it. Previously a 1 bought what a plain success buys, which is worse than
the fumble, and the fumble buys a dog. A special Xenology, a special
Medicine (how long ago it stopped — the almanac's gap before the almanac)
and a special Spot (the third set circles and goes back toward the seam)
likewise. GM ESSENTIALS now states the shape the existing three share:
portable, private or early, never more conversation.
2. The Act Three swap beat points at EXPOSURE. v0.16 named that beat as the
trigger for the fight it measured and left the beat silent, with
"survivable" as the last word before the decision — which is about the
swap, not about what follows.
3. Every fumble branch prints its band. Three of four did not, and the one
that did was the one written in v0.16.
4. The fumbled Medicine and fumbled Spot are written. Pass 7 hit both cold
and lost ten minutes, because four beautifully specific fumble branches
make their absence elsewhere read as an oversight rather than a licence.
5. Act Four says which branch its headline figures are for. Ashcroft refuses
about five times in eight — passes 6 and 7 both did — and the 48.7%/14.5%
pair is printed far more prominently than the 21.9%/3.8% one most tables
will be in.
Every band printed was re-derived from resolveBands/gradeRoll by enumeration
rather than arithmetic, which is where the off-by-one lives.
Pass 7's finding 3 overstated itself and is corrected in the same commit: the
Close's fumble branch does name a skill, inheriting the Anomaly Lore tag from
the bullet above it. Post-pass appended.
npm run check: 18 guards pass.
