lane P · care_tier elevated · protected false · care read from READ from the row's own cells. T0_Creature_Roster row CR_0152 carries cultural_depiction_required TRUE, a populated cultural_care_register opening 'living_manggarai_potent_landscape_tradition_rendered_with_the_weight_the_manggarai_give_it_dangerous_when_violated_owed_ritual_never_hollywood_monstered', a populated folklore_attribution_source, hard_line_anchors HL_0005;HL_0002;HL_0003, ontology_class AMBIVALENT and combat_permission FOLKLORE_FACED. Elevated is read, not argued.
recommended candidate: 1 (PROVISIONAL)
care: ELEVATED, read off the row's own care register. The care duty is stated on the row and it is double-edged. The darat are the tradition's OWN amoral spirits of place — friendly by default, offended only when their places are disturbed — so they are never Hollywood-monstered and never dismissed as mere superstition, and the plate stages STILLNESS AND OWNERSHIP rather than menace. Equally they are not defanged: combat_permission on the row is FOLKLORE_FACED and the tradition's own answer to an offence is a rite, so the plate's calm reads as something owed rather than something safe. Their attested beauty is carried with adult weight and never as titillation, which is the region page's own wording for this being class. This is one of exactly two subjects in the chapter the style register permits to be mythologically stylized.
rekey_basis: lane declared G in the pack, DISPATCHED as P by the executor ruling above
released_by_ruling: EXECUTOR RULING (2026-08-04, the Ch-3 generate lane). The pack declares lane G on this row at care_tier elevated. CONCEPT_ART_PROGRAM 4.4, made arithmetic at harness/read_boards.py T-LANE-CARE, refuses that combination by construction: a living-tradition care tier can never dispatch to Lane G, and the composer emits a Lane-R plate request instead. The care value is NOT what moves -- it is argued on the row and the live T0_Creature_Roster row carries cultural_depiction_required TRUE -- so the LANE moves, to P. Lane P is director ruling R-E's care-by-verification release, authored for exactly this class ('the four v2 HELD entity-care rows RELEASE for dispatch under care-by-verification; care_conditions binding on the row; the image critics verify outputs against each entity's roster care register'), and it is the landed treatment of the BRD_0025/BRD_0026 elevated crowd rows.
lane_p_underlay: Lane P here is generation under a DECLARED verification discipline, not a paintover underlay: the plate is generated on the region mechanism and the image critics verify the output against this entity's own roster care register (cultural_depiction_required TRUE on the live T0_Creature_Roster row). That is the care-by-verification release R-E authored, and the verification is what the row is barred on if it fails.

Style register mythologically-stylized, for the darat and the roused naga tana only, against realistic-ethnographic'. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:522-529 — 'the darat (the beautiful amoral spirits of forest and spring) ... also called kakartana, creatures of the land: they inhabit and guard forests, mountain-tops, great rocks, rivers, ponds and lakes, are friendly by default, and are offended only when their places are disturbed'. docs/spine/CH_03.md:230 — the anti-fringe framing: 'the darat are the tradition's own amoral spirits of place ... dangerous when violated, owed ritual, never Hollywood-monstered'. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:550-553 — the free spirits of this island's traditions 'set a standard of beauty no ordinary person reaches', carried with adult weight and never as titillation.
REC verdict REGENERATE_ALL
REC reason: Every candidate renders these forest and water beings as unclothed or half-clothed nude studies, which is not a form a living tradition's own spirits may be given.
REC defects: Bare torsos on all four; a full frontal nude on O3; a Western nude-study stance throughout. The lichened stone skin, the pale green cast, the hairless heads and the standing-in-still-water staging are all excellent and should be carried straight into the next pass.

ROW:cr0002-the-roused-soil-guardian-register
title: CR_0002 — the soil-guardian register, the same animal roused
caption: folklore_being · plate role study · 4 candidates
canon_id CR_0002 in T0_Creature_Roster/Sheet1 — canon_ref entity:CR_0002
citations: SRC_00469, SRC_00203 (rows of registries/T0_Source_Material_Registry)
lane P · care_tier elevated · protected false · care read from DECLARED ELEVATED for the FOLKLORE register only. T0_Creature_Roster row CR_0002 carries cultural_depiction_required TRUE and a folklore_attribution_source that reads 'settled as attested Manggarai living tradition per SRC_00469 - the naga are good guardians named for their charge ... every village is held to keep at least one'. The landed D1-15 plates of this same row are ordinary-fauna reads at care_tier standard; the D1-16 register is the living-tradition read and carries the elevated tier, which is why the two classes are two boards and not one.
recommended candidate: 1 (PROVISIONAL)
care: ELEVATED for this register. The row exists because the chapter needs the SAME ANIMAL to read two ways without the second read becoming a different creature — that is what 'mythologically-stylized when roused' means and it is why the stylization is spent on scale, stillness and light rather than on anatomy. The tradition's own frame binds: these guardians are GOOD, named for what they keep, one to a village, and this one is dangerous because a contract was broken. The spine explicitly retired the de-fanged protective-python framing, so the roused read carries real threat; HL_0005 keeps it from becoming a Hollywood monster. Both duties are on the plate at once, which is the point of putting both reads on one sheet.
rekey_basis: lane declared G in the pack, DISPATCHED as P by the executor ruling above
released_by_ruling: EXECUTOR RULING (2026-08-04, the Ch-3 generate lane). The pack declares lane G on this row at care_tier elevated. CONCEPT_ART_PROGRAM 4.4, made arithmetic at harness/read_boards.py T-LANE-CARE, refuses that combination by construction: a living-tradition care tier can never dispatch to Lane G, and the composer emits a Lane-R plate request instead. The care value is NOT what moves -- it is argued on the row and the live T0_Creature_Roster row carries cultural_depiction_required TRUE -- so the LANE moves, to P. Lane P is director ruling R-E's care-by-verification release, authored for exactly this class ('the four v2 HELD entity-care rows RELEASE for dispatch under care-by-verification; care_conditions binding on the row; the image critics verify outputs against each entity's roster care register'), and it is the landed treatment of the BRD_0025/BRD_0026 elevated crowd rows.
lane_p_underlay: Lane P here is generation under a DECLARED verification discipline, not a paintover underlay: the plate is generated on the region mechanism and the image critics verify the output against this entity's own roster care register (cultural_depiction_required TRUE on the live T0_Creature_Roster row). That is the care-by-verification release R-E authored, and the verification is what the row is barred on if it fails.
canon_note: docs/spine/CH_03.md:242 — 'the naga tana rendered on the reticulated python (CR_0002 carried from Ch 2, here the potent-land guardian, mythologically-stylized when roused)'. registries/T0_Creature_Roster, row CR_0002 — scientific_name Malayopython reticulatus, chapters_present CH_02;CH_03, combat_permission PERMITTED, ontology_class ORDINARY_FAUNA, thread_anchor 'Thread 2'. _source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:530-532 — every village is held to keep at least one guardian named for its charge, so the register plate stages a KEEPER of a place rather than a wandering monster. docs/spine/CH_03.md:308 — the row's target_type stays fauna deliberately: 'the naga-tana is a land-guardian appeased not slain - neither malevolent-being nor plain fauna fits cleanly', and the enum harmonization is a registry audit rather than a per-chapter cell edit.
REC verdict MIXED — recommended candidate O1
REC reason: O1 carries one animal, one flat wedge skull, a smooth unhooded neck and the correct net pattern along the whole body, on wet dark rock at the water, with nothing else in the frame.
REC defects: O2 rears two extra serpents out of the fall behind the subject, one of them pale; O3 and O4 both split the frame with a tall pale column of shed skin that breaks the composition in half. O1's residue: the far bank is soft.
