 "authored": "2026-08-04",
 "authored_by": "ch-03 board pack author lane",
 "tier": "PROPOSAL-TIER — an authoring input to the art build/generate executor. It ratifies nothing, edits no canon, and mints no MANIFEST/PLATES/RECS row. The executor lane appends those rows.",
 "shape_note": "Authored on the BRD_0001 prompt-pack shape (row_id · title · canon_refs · category · prompt · negative · care_notes), with the dispatch columns CONCEPT_ART_PRODUCTION_PROGRAM section 3.2d requires carried on the same row so the executor never has to re-derive a key: board_id, density_class_id, canon_id, canon_registry, canon_ref, canon_id_refs, subject_slug, care_tier, care_source, protected, lane, plate_id_base.",
 "affirmative_only_law": "THE `prompt` FIELD IS AFFIRMATIVE-ONLY AND IS THE ONLY FIELD DISPATCHED. On this graph negative conditioning is zeroed at node 33 and cfg is 1.0 (ART_CONSISTENCY_MECHANISM_RULING_2026-08-04.md section 5), so a negation token inside a prompt is a REQUEST for the defect. The `negative` field is therefore NOT dispatched as negative conditioning: it is the LOOK checklist the image critic and the regen belt read a plate against, and every entry on it has an affirmative counterpart inside `prompt`. Every prompt in this pack was scanned for negation tokens and the count is zero; the scan and its positive control are recorded under `checks`.",
 "style_register": "REALISTIC-ETHNOGRAPHIC for the Manggarai community, their fields and their architecture; MYTHOLOGICALLY-STYLIZED for exactly two subjects and no others, the roused naga tana and the darat; material triad volcanic stone, songket and ikat cotton, timber and thatch [docs/spine/CH_03.md:244 — 'material_palette and style_register - realistic-ethnographic for the Manggarai community, fields, and architecture; mythologically-stylized only for the roused naga tana and the darat; volcanic stone, songket and ikat cloth, timber and thatch']. The board register is painterly AAA concept art, cinematic, grounded realism. Light is PHYSICAL everywhere: docs/art_bibles/flores_island.md field 2 records the impossible-light clause as NONE PROPOSED because the spine states the recharge mechanic is the only surface through which the vril substrate is shown. Weather is dry-season ash-and-clear, from the live region row weather_cycle_profile `dry;ash;clear`, and the Ch-3 highland adds cloud standing in the Wae Rebo bowl [_source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:151-152 — 'density high in the cloud-forest bowl at Wae Rebo, thinning on the volcanic cone'].",
 "mechanism": {
  "ruling_read": "THE FLORES STYLE LoRA APPLIES TO EVERY ROW IN THIS PACK, AND THE CROSS-REGION QUESTION DOES NOT ARISE. Ch 3's region is flores_island, the SAME region the LoRA was trained for: the live T0_Region_Index row `flores_island` carries chapters `Ch 2-3`, and docs/spine/CH_03.md:8 states 'region_id flores_island (the same Flores region page as Ch 2)'. The ruling's own amortization clause is written at region grain — 'one training run amortized across every future plate in the region, versus a reference image selected, verified and carried per row, forever' (docs/pipeline_review/ART_CONSISTENCY_MECHANISM_RULING_2026-08-04.md:52-53) — so a Ch-3 plate is one of the plates that clause already covers. No cross-region transfer is proposed and none is needed.",
  "style_lora": "flores_style_v1.safetensors",
  "default_strength": 0.8,
  "per_row_strength_rule": "Strength is a PER-ROW value and it rides INSIDE the hashed sampler_config, never as a dispatcher flag — rung 5's own finding: 'a per-row strength outside the hashed payload would let two visibly different plates share one artifact identity' (the ruling, section 8a). Rows whose subject is a single crisp object or animal against a plain ground start at 0.55-0.65 (the horse-smear precedent); place, settlement and material rows start at 0.8.",
  "payload_law": "style_lora_hash carries the LoRA file's hash and is one of the eleven CLOSED payload keys (docs/generation_lifecycle.json prompt_hash.required_payload_keys), so retraining or swapping the LoRA fires regeneration_required on every dependent row with nobody remembering to check. Reference conditioning has NO key of its own and rides INSIDE sampler_config as denoise + reference_sha256 + reference_source, because the key set is closed at eleven and hash[:12] is the filename.",
  "reference_conditioning_scope": "Per-row remedy for IDENTITY/MORPHOLOGY rows only — the ruling demoted it from 'the consistency mechanism' to exactly that. Five rows in this pack are identity rows and each declares its reference route. The standing rule from rung 5 binds on all of them: 'a reference is looked at against the row's own defect line before it is used, never after', and where the landed corpus is already convicted the reference is a synthesized morphology staging.",
  "denoise_rule": "Where a row conditions on an image, denoise sits at 0.60-0.70: rung 5 proved a lower denoise repairs an INVENTED OBJECT while keeping the subject, and proved it cannot repair a FRAMING defect, because a crop IS composition and low denoise preserves composition. A row whose defect would be framing re-rolls the composition in words instead.",
  "next_training_target": "THE Ch-3 RETRAIN IS THE MECHANISM'S NEXT TRAINING TARGET. flores_style_v1 was captioned and trained on 320 landed plates that are overwhelmingly Ch-2 subjects — cave, caldera, cone, waterfall, village edge. It has never seen a swept ceremonial ground, a rattan shield, a worked lodok fan at working height, or a highland ritual falls. Once this pack's lane-G and lane-P plates land and are picked, flores_style_v1 retrains to v2 on the enlarged corpus; the new file hash lands on style_lora_hash and fires regeneration_required on every dependent row by construction. That is a scheduled consequence, never a surprise."

 "lane_rule": {
  "basis": "Director ruling R-E, carried in the art final build charter: 'lane R only for protected settlement architecture and named community rites', with the four HELD entity-care rows RELEASED for dispatch under care-by-verification (care_conditions binding on the row; the image critics verify outputs against each entity's roster care register). Applied to Ch 3 with the landed Ch-2 precedent read off PLATES.csv rather than guessed.",
  "R": "ACQUISITION-ROUTED, generation barred. The protected BUILT FORM of a living settlement. In this pack that is exactly the two todo_royal_village rows (build/zones/flores_island.csv gives that zone care_tier elevated, protected true). The Wae Rebo mbaru-niang, the compang centre-stone and the stone roads are ALREADY lane-R rows on BRD_0021 and BRD_0022 and are deliberately NOT re-worked here.",
  "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: the eight named ally personas, the caci-round boss staging, the shield-and-whip implement rows, and the cinematic frames that put the community or its protected ground in shot. This is R-E's care-by-verification release applied to the class R-E released, and it matches the landed treatment of the BRD_0025/BRD_0026 crowd-type rows, which are lane P at care_tier elevated.",
  "G": "GENERATED. Everything whose subject is the antagonist apparatus, the roused land, ordinary fauna, an object, an inscription carrier, a vril site, a non-protected zone, or a weather set.",
  "empty_care_tooth": "R-H armed a tooth in harness/read_boards.py that FAILs a lane-G row with an empty care_tier or protected. Every row in this pack carries both, plus care_source stating whether the value was READ from a registry column or DECLARED because the registry carries no such column."

  "attribution": "Ch 3 is MANGGARAI ground. Every term is used under the name of the people whose record attests it, and a Keo or Nage institution stays Keo- or Nage-attributed even where it informs a Manggarai situation [_source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/flores_island.md:1162-1166 — 'a Keo or Nage institution stays Keo- or Nage-attributed even when it informs a Manggarai situation ... The Manggarai-side equivalents anchor on the pending MUST-ACQUIRE Erb and Allerton, never on a neighbouring people's record']. No ngadhu, no bhaga, no woe post, no nado mere and no balance-bar appears on any Ch-3 plate: those are Ngada, Nage and Keo forms and they have their own ground.",
  "own_words": "The tradition's own vocabulary is the naming layer and it is carried through to localization: mbaru niang, compang, lodok, lingko, caci, larik, nggiling, naga tana, darat, ngoeng-de-tana, semangat, tu'a teno, songket, ikat, gong-waning, penti — every one of which the region page's Section 17 already binds to a string-table glossary entry.",
  "word_sense_law": "THE LEXICAL FIX IS LEXICAL. Rung 5 found a word-sense collision that four rungs of prompting could not move: the affirmative clause said the cavity opened 'straight through the living barrel itself' and BARREL reached the model's CONTAINER sense first, so two rows rendered coopered barrels and a hollow log. 'The fix is lexical, not mechanical: say flank, ribcage or trunk.' Every culture-specific term in this pack therefore carries a PLAIN PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION beside it, and the terms whose English sense collides are never dispatched bare.",
  "collisions_declared": [
   "naga — the bare word reaches an East-Asian dragon prior. Never dispatched alone; the animal is written as a very large reticulated python, olive and black in a net pattern, heavy-bodied, flat-headed.",
   "buffalo — reaches an American bison prior. Written as a domestic water buffalo with slate-grey hide, a wide swept-back crescent horn sweep, and wallow-caked flanks.",
   "spring — reaches the SEASON. Written as a spring head where water rises out of the ground into a stone-lipped pool.",
   "shield — reaches a heater or kite shield. Written as a small round rattan shield, hide-faced, gripped on the forearm.",
   "shell — reaches a seashell or a container. The familiar's species is written as a large freshwater softshell turtle with a leathery unplated disc and a short fleshy tubular snout.",
   "compang, lodok, lingko, mbaru niang, caci, larik, nggiling, darat — unknown tokens to the model; each is dispatched with its physical description attached.",

(the family first appears at Ch 8); no family name, pattern, or operative chain exists to surface'. The broker's crew therefore reads as LOCAL hired men with local kit, and no two Ch-3 antagonist plates share a mark, badge, cut or colour that would read as one apparatus.",
   "NO Grand Sage register anywhere, on any surface.",
   "THE CHILD FAMILIAR STAYS LOST. docs/spine/CH_03.md:132 holds the Ch-58 reveal off every surface artifact, so no plate carries a second familiar, a shadow companion, or an empty second slot read.",

CHAR_0002 gets NO character sheet on this pack and no figure, face, silhouette, reflection or retreating back appears in the frame that carries the mark; the D1-09 portrait is declared PENDING and routed to the Ch-13 join leg where the join is canon.",
   "MAMA KLARA'S RECOGNITION IS NAMED AND NEVER EXPLAINED [docs/spine/CH_03.md:210, hard_line_relevance 'HELD: named-not-explained; no origin reveal pre-Ch-76']. Her plates show her attending to the SPACE AROUND the child — docs/spine/CH_03.md:194 states she 'watches the space between speakers for a full day before pronouncing' — and never a direct look at the child's ears or face, which would paint the recognition the scene withholds.",
   "SEMANGAT IS FELT AND NEVER DECLARED (HL_0015). The only visible vril surface in this region is the water at a recharge site; light stays physical everywhere else.",
   "THE INSCRIPTION READ IS NEOPHYTE-TIER ONLY (HL_0028). The Ch-3 fragment carrier reads visually INCOMPLETE and semantically CLOSED; the spine pays off at Ch 76 and a plate that reads as a complete legible sign leaks seventy-three chapters of payoff. No legible script, no closed sigil, no numeral, no cartouche.",

   "THE D1-03 / D1-04 SPLIT RULE. Neither program doc states which layout class a zone takes. The rule used here is DERIVED FROM THE LANDED DATA rather than invented: every landed D1-03 canon_id (kelimutu_crater_lakes, recharge_waterfall) is a zone whose Zone Catalog climactic_affordances cell is non-empty, and every landed D1-04 canon_id whose cell is empty (mount_inerie_cone_country, liang_bua_cave, manggarai_village_edge, wae_rebo_village) takes D1-04. Applied to Ch 3 that puts mama_klaras_waterfall (threshold) at D1-03 and todo_royal_village, wae_water_spring and lingko_forest_edge (empty) at D1-04. The tension — the chapter's MAIN BOSS SITE landing in a class named 'ordinary sites' — is real and is boarded as finding F-4 rather than resolved by opinion.",
   "THE PER-ROW LoRA STRENGTH VALUES (0.55 to 0.8). The ruling authorizes a per-row strength and gives one measured datum, the 0.55 that fixed the over-applied row.

   "GARMENT AND DRESS DETAIL on all eight persona rows and on the two caci figures.

The community hold: the reception is a WARY WELCOME, which is the region page's own standing-on-arrival value, so the faces are careful rather than hostile — §17.1 collective protection means the community is never staged as the threat. The Catholic stratum reaches this valley in the late 1920s and this is the pre-colonial present, so no mission building stands in the bowl."

(2) PROSE IS NEVER A RESOLUTION SOURCE. A first cut of this tooth swept every PLT_/BRD_ token in the whole repo and then reported BRD_0031 and BRD_0042 as collisions against THIS PACK'S OWN DOC_MAP ROW, which names the minted range in a sentence. That is the repo's already-recorded 'a sentence can arm a token from nowhere' defect, and the already-recorded fix applies: resolve against id CELLS only.

T0_Scene_Spec_Registry holds 22 rows and NONE of them is a Ch-3 anchor — the six Ch-2 anchors were minted under ruling R-B as a faithful transcription of CH_02.md and the Ch-3 five were left. D1-36's declared key_registry is that registry, so every Ch-3 cinematic row in this pack keys on beat: instead (which §3.2a admits and the landed CH02_B0x rows already precedent) and carries the scene anchor as a secondary token.",
   "recommendation": "Mint the five rows as a faithful transcription of the §13 table in one registry append via harness/apply_registry_rows.py, exactly as R-B did for Ch 2, then re-key these rows' primaries to scene: where the beat carries an anchor. This lane did not do it: a subagent may not change canon.",

   "finding": "THE Ch-3 BROKER HAS NO ROW ANYWHERE. Ngoéng Tana is named in the spine, in the boss row's own boss_name cell and in the region page's faction table, and he carries no CHAR_ row and no NW_ row — deliberately, because the structure is pre-family and the spine says so. The consequence for art is concrete: he cannot be a keyed plate row under §3.2b, so he exists only as an unkeyed figure inside the BE_0003.P2 staging plates, and his look is authored with no canon to check it against.",
   "recommendation": "Leave the registry alone and accept the consequence, which is the honest reading of the reveal ladder. Record his authored look on the BE_0003 rows so the two plates agree with each other, which this pack does.",

T0_Character_Index, T0_Weapon_Registry, T0_Vril_Site_Registry, T0_Inscription_Spine and T0_Language_Script_Registry carry NO care_tier or protected column, so 23 of the 48 rows here carry a DECLARED care value with its basis argued on the row. cultural_depiction_required exists on T0_Creature_Roster and nowhere else. R-H's empty-care tooth catches an EMPTY cell; it cannot catch a wrongly argued one.",

Separately, compang_lingko_fields carries the affordance `sacred` and its landed plates sit at D1-04 on BRD_0020, which contradicts the same rule in the other direction.",

The chapter's playable read therefore stands on the lane-P boss-staging rows over a generic-composite ground.",
   "recommendation": "Treat the Erb acquisition as the Ch-3 art leg's blocking dependency and schedule it ahead of the pick pass, not after it. Every row in this pack that touches caci, lingko, compang or mbaru niang names the gap on its own face so the debt is visible rather than inferred.",

The LoRA still APPLIES to every row here because Ch 3 is the same region and the ruling's amortization clause is written at region grain — this is not a cross-region question — but the corpus gap is real.",
   "recommendation": "Retrain to flores_style_v2 once this pack's lane-G and lane-P plates land and are picked. The new file hash lands on style_lora_hash and fires regeneration_required on every dependent row by construction, so the cost is known in advance rather than discovered.",
