Third reading said the core criticism was gone — areas now arrive as playable
rooms — but that the result was over-stuffed: 'a room plus its operating
manual'. Asked for the single remaining gap, it said one word: integration.
The hand-written delve makes image, situation, pressure and choice read as one
thing; this presented them as stacked components.
So this removes blocks, not content. The image, the situation and the automatic
clue become one opening paragraph to read from. The decision collapses to
attempt/miss/or. Trigger, bane beat, fallback and skip-guidance become a single
GM footer line. The per-area truth drops the delve-level transgression, which
was already in the header and was being reprinted in every area.
Areas go from roughly thirty lines to eleven to eighteen.
A new invariant asserts the pass removed blocks and not information: for twenty
delves, every situation, onArrival, because, offer, decision, alternative,
trigger, fallback, temptation and roster must still appear in the rendered page.
Tests 24 -> 25.
