lane P · care_tier elevated · protected true · care read from DECLARED. T0_Character_Index carries no care_tier or protected column at all, so the value is argued rather than read: these are members of a living Manggarai community, the region page rules them a protected community whose collective §17.1 protection binds in full, and the zones they inhabit carry care_tier elevated in build/zones/flores_island.csv. Elevated is therefore the honest floor. The registry gap — cultural_depiction_required exists on T0_Creature_Roster and nowhere else — is boarded as finding F-3 rather than papered over.
recommended candidate: 4 (PROVISIONAL)
care: The two care duties on this row are the ones the whole chapter rests on. FIRST, the benevolent healer is never the villain — the Ch-2 golden re-enrichment retired the corrupted-dukun framing and HL_0005 binds it — so no plate lends her a sinister read, a shadowed face or an ambiguous prop. SECOND, the REVEAL: her recognition of the protagonist is named and never explained until far beyond this chapter, so her eyeline attends to the space beside the viewer and never to a child's ears or face. The Catholic stratum reaches Manggarai only in the late 1920s and this is the pre-colonial present, so no sacramental object is on her.
lane_p_underlay: Lane P: generation with a declared underlay discipline and binding care_conditions, verified at the LOOK. Members of the living Manggarai community and the staging of their own named rite.
canon_note: registries/T0_Character_Index, row CHAR_0006 — role manggarai_healer_elder, chapters_present Ch_03. docs/spine/CH_03.md:194 — 'the Manggarai healer-elder (canonical) - diagnoses the semangat depletion and runs the waterfall restoration ritual that permanently raises the vril floor; she watches the space between speakers for a full day before pronouncing ... a benevolent knowledge-holder, never a target'. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:593-594 — 'the dukun/healer (Mama Klara's role) is a keeper of good knowledge - diagnosis, the waterfall restoration ritual, the herbal pharmacopoeia - and is benevolent, never the antagonist'. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:1539-1543 — the chronology-safe half of the protective kit at the chapters' pre-colonial present is ginger infused with a kinsman's own mbeko, so a root bundle is the correct carried material.
care_conditions: Lane P binds these on the row: (1) the figure is a WHOLLY INVENTED individual and carries no name, face, biography, residence or personal instrument from any real informant in the source record — the region page holds that line for every office it describes; (2) the community is never a target and never an antagonist, so no plate stages this person as threatening, servile, comic or picturesque; (3) dress rides the declared inference law above; (4) the image critic verifies the output against this row's care register before it lands. DRESS IS AUTHORED INFERENCE, DECLARED AS SUCH, AND BOUNDED BY THE ATTESTED MATERIAL SET. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:346-350 states plainly that appearance for NPC design and dress are 'not attested by either source' and that the textile substrate is 'an honest gap rather than a citation', with Erb's The Manggaraians the MUST-ACQUIRE that closes it. So the garment READ is held inside what the region page does attest — cotton as the weaving fibre (Section 9), backstrap ikat and songket as the tradition (Section 14), forest hardwood, bamboo and rattan for everything carried — and it is a plain wrapped-and-tied vernacular of handspun cotton rather than a reconstruction of a specific attested costume. Every persona plate is re-read against Erb the moment that acquisition lands.
REC verdict MIXED — recommended candidate O4
REC reason: O4 is the only one where the house behind her is vernacular - raised on stone piers under thatch - and it puts a working buffalo in the middle distance, which is the right animal for this valley.
REC defects: O1 gives the house a flush modern door on a sawn plank platform; O2 opens a modern window; O3 puts a red painted metal roof on the far hillside. All four render the swept compound ground as a smooth grey surface closer to poured concrete than to packed earth, which is a shared residue the next pass should state as beaten earth with a broom-swept grain. O4 also carries a small red mark at the chest.

recommended candidate: 2 (PROVISIONAL)
care: Care: a living-culture role, benevolent throughout, never routed as an antagonist and never a target. Two attribution lines bind and both are the region page's own. The balance-bar measurer is a KEO office and stays Keo, so it never appears on a Manggarai elder's plate. And the Manggarai field authority is rendered from the region's own record while the wider dispute-resolution office waits on the MUST-ACQUIRE Erb, so this plate carries the man and his ground and asserts no institution the corpus has yet to attest.

REC verdict MIXED — recommended candidate O2
REC reason: O2 is the only candidate with no painted metal roofing in the valley behind him, and its hip cloth carries a woven border band rather than a printed one.
REC defects: O1 and O3 both set red-roofed modern buildings on the slope behind; O4 wraps the cloth high across the chest, which contradicts the elder dress the other three carry. O2's residue: the terrace lines behind him are soft and the staff reads thin.

recommended candidate: 1 (PROVISIONAL)
care: Care: the caci is a documented ceremonial martial tradition with an agricultural blood-fertilizes-earth meaning and is depicted as the Manggarai practise it, never as savage spectacle (HL_0005, and the region page's anti-fringe entry names exoticizing it as the at-risk claim). At this row the implements are HELD and never swung, because the plate's job is the person and the standing she offers, and the contest itself is staged on the boss leaf. Rated-M discipline cuts the other way too: the whip and shield are real and present at full weight, and the row is not softened into a costume study.

REC verdict REGENERATE_ALL
REC reason: On all four the shield is a woven conical hat or tray rather than a hide-faced disc, and on two the whip is a closed loop of braided rope with no free end.
REC defects: Shield rendered as basketry headgear on every candidate; closed rope hoops in place of a lash on O2 and O4; O1 dresses the figure in what reads as a modern buttoned shirt with a collar placket.

recommended candidate: 1 (PROVISIONAL)
care: Care: elevated. The textile substrate is the region's declared honest GAP, so the pattern on the loom reads as technique — banded warp, resist-dyed geometry — rather than as a specific attested Manggarai motif, and the plate is re-read the moment the Erb acquisition lands. The landed Ch-2 corpus convicted itself on exactly this axis, substituting a Central-Asian figured ikat for Flores cloth, so the affirmative material clause is written into the prompt rather than left to the model.

canon_note: registries/T0_Character_Index, row CHAR_0018 — role manggarai_songket_ikat_tradition_bearer, chapters_present Ch_03. docs/spine/CH_03.md:51 — 'the Manggarai backstrap pattern-weaving carried by Weaver-Elder Ibu Martina, the Trade 6 Tailoring substrate seed ... Martina holds the Trade-6 seat and the pattern authority (what a pattern is allowed to say about whose you are and where you stand)'. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:836-838 — cotton is the ikat and songket weaving fibre and the Trade-6 substrate; the martial and domestic material of the highland is rattan, bamboo and hardwood rather than metal. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:1713-1714 — the ikat-weaving query scored 0.32 region-filtered, recorded as an honest 'no strong textile substrate yet' rather than a false citation, which is why this row's pattern read stays generic-composite.

REC verdict MIXED — recommended candidate O1
REC reason: O1 is the only candidate where the loom's far beam is actually lashed with plant-fibre cordage to a rough hardwood post and the weaver sits on a timber house platform, which is this row's own staging.
REC defects: All four set the loom inside a smooth rendered room with a modern window opening, and two add a painted skirting band - the row owes a timber and thatch interior lit from an open doorway. O1's residue is that back wall. The backstrap loom itself is correct on every candidate, warp beam, breast beam, sword beater and body tension, and so is the banded undyed warp.

REC reason: All four hang a dark forged blade on the spear, which is the one material this highland does not have, on the row that exists to state what its hunters actually carry.
REC defects: Forged metal spearheads on every candidate. O4 also stiffens the stance and stains the hip cloth. Everything else is strong and should be kept: the lean build, the hand-laid cordage at the hip, the plaited brow band, the tree-fern forest and the mist.

lane P · care_tier elevated · protected true · care read from DECLARED. T0_Character_Index carries no care_tier or protected column at all, so the value is argued rather than read: these are members of a living Manggarai community, the region page rules them a protected community whose collective §17.1 protection binds in full, and the zones they inhabit carry care_tier elevated in build/zones/flores_island.csv. Elevated is therefore the honest floor. The registry gap — cultural_depiction_required exists on T0_Creature_Roster and nowhere else — is boarded as finding F-3 rather than papered over.
recommended candidate: 1 (PROVISIONAL)
care: Care: elevated. A child of a living community, staged as a child — competent at his own scale, never comic, never a mascot, never picturesque. The practice tackle is deliberately practice tackle, which is how a rite is learned rather than a softening of it.
lane_p_underlay: Lane P: generation with a declared underlay discipline and binding care_conditions, verified at the LOOK. Members of the living Manggarai community and the staging of their own named rite.
canon_note: registries/T0_Character_Index, row CHAR_0021 — role manggarai_age_peer_friendship_through_caci_practice, chapters_present Ch_03. docs/spine/CH_03.md:198 — Peer Agnesius sits in the protected village roster of teachers and neighbours. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:1427-1431 — the caci contest circuit runs as an opt-in ladder rung, 'a recurring skill-contest the player may climb for community standing and reward, offered never forced'.
care_conditions: Lane P binds these on the row: (1) the figure is a WHOLLY INVENTED individual and carries no name, face, biography, residence or personal instrument from any real informant in the source record — the region page holds that line for every office it describes; (2) the community is never a target and never an antagonist, so no plate stages this person as threatening, servile, comic or picturesque; (3) dress rides the declared inference law above; (4) the image critic verifies the output against this row's care register before it lands. DRESS IS AUTHORED INFERENCE, DECLARED AS SUCH, AND BOUNDED BY THE ATTESTED MATERIAL SET. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:346-350 states plainly that appearance for NPC design and dress are 'not attested by either source' and that the textile substrate is 'an honest gap rather than a citation', with Erb's The Manggaraians the MUST-ACQUIRE that closes it. So the garment READ is held inside what the region page does attest — cotton as the weaving fibre (Section 9), backstrap ikat and songket as the tradition (Section 14), forest hardwood, bamboo and rattan for everything carried — and it is a plain wrapped-and-tied vernacular of handspun cotton rather than a reconstruction of a specific attested costume. Every persona plate is re-read against Erb the moment that acquisition lands.
REC verdict REGENERATE_ALL
REC reason: On all four the shield resting at the boy's feet is a flat woven disc or a conical hat laid on its side rather than a hide-faced fighting shield.
REC defects: Woven basketry disc in place of a hide shield on every candidate, one with the conical crown pointing outward at the camera; the coiled cord over the shoulder reads correctly and can stay.

recommended candidate: 3 (PROVISIONAL)
care: Care: elevated, and the row carries the region's own sound-care rule on its face. No protected sacred music is reproduced and the gong-waning register is reference-composed rather than sampled from consecrated performance, which at image grain means the plate stages the INSTRUMENTS AND THE PLAYER and never a specific consecrated ensemble. The musical-theory substrate is a declared acquisition gap, so the set reads as a generic composite of the attested form — graded hung gongs plus a hide-headed drum — and asserts no specific tuning, count or arrangement.
lane_p_underlay: Lane P: generation with a declared underlay discipline and binding care_conditions, verified at the LOOK. Members of the living Manggarai community and the staging of their own named rite.
canon_note: registries/T0_Character_Index, row CHAR_0022 — role manggarai_gong_waning_specialist_caci_ensemble_director, chapters_present Ch_03. docs/spine/CH_03.md:42 — Thread 21 Music anchors on 'the Manggarai gong-waning and ceremonial drumming context (Pak Kornelius's caci ensemble)'. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:852-857 — 'the Flores gong-waning (the tuned gong-and-drum ensemble), central to the caci ceremony ... canonized as the region's Thread-21 vril-active instrument', with no reproduction of protected sacred music and the register reference-composed. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:871-873 — the gong-waning musical theory is thin in the processed corpus and is flagged as an acquisition gap, which is why this plate's instrument read stays generic-composite.

REC verdict MIXED — recommended candidate O3
REC reason: O3 is the only candidate whose drums are barrel-bodied and laced to sit horizontally, and the only one with no painted metal roofing behind the ensemble.
REC defects: O1, O2 and O4 all render a goblet-bodied West African hand drum with rope tuning in place of the local barrel drum - a substitution this corpus has already been corrected on once; O2 adds a red roof behind. The hanging bronze gongs on their timber frame are correct on all four.
