(2) The bosses: reward-on-death on every encounter, so no loss is a wall; the two main-boss phases and all three sub-bosses pay out either way [CH_03.md:97-98]. (3) The side lanes: SQ1/SQ2/SQ4/SQ9 gates are state-conditions and explicitly non-gating on the main spine, and no twelve_level_gate binds at Ch 3 [CH_03.md:190]. (4) No kill can strand the chapter: main_boss_win_condition is pacify, has_nonkill_path is TRUE on both BE_0003 and BE_0003_S1, and the naga tana is appeased rather than slain by construction — the ngoéng-de-tana contract IS the resolution [CH_03.md:253; T0_Boss_Encounter_Registry:5-6]. The protected community carries no combat permission at all, so hostility toward the Manggarai has no path that could remove a required NPC: combat routes only through the crew, the captain, the bought champion, the twisted-word constructs and the roused land [CH_03.md:58, :226].",

FORK_CH03_A anchors at CH03_B11, magnitude SUBSTANTIAL, kind combat_resolution, care_band open, convergence_node null (the Ch-65 lock is far ahead), path_bucket UNLOCKED. Coverage {generative, neutral, corrosive} all reachable. The options are ACTION-keyed with a direction column — the retired truly_good/good_enough/neutral/evil labels are never option names, and the five texture bands are the DERIVED axis (§18), never selectable. The load-bearing durable output is the community's read of the conduct, which becomes a permanent mark_write on the manggarai community with forward_track [CH_63]: at the Ch-63 Pacific/Oceania continental revisit that mark is read JOINTLY with the Ch-2 Kelimutu carved mark, and reception varies by the combined Ch-2/Ch-3 Manggarai path_state — non-gating in both directions, since recognition opens or alters aid and lore and never walls. The corrosive limb explicitly closes nothing: the cold-read reception track opens instead. Two things inside this quest are NOT player forks and must not be authored as branches — the naga-tana appeasement (CH03_B05) and the caci rounds (CH03_B09) are reward-both-ways boss outcomes on mandatory main-spine actions; making either a fork would require inventing refuse-branches canon does not have.

The two load-bearing limbs and their prices: STAY AND TAKE NOTHING (FORK_CH03_A:0) buys trust that warms Ana and the healer's-child arcs and stands the freed conscripts up as valley allies, and it costs the whole remaining season on someone else's fields with no payment banked and a face that a village now knows — against a protagonist whose survival discipline this chapter has just turned concealment into. KEEP IT AS LEVERAGE (FORK_CH03_A:3) banks the knowledge that a village will give anything to hold its fields, and costs a coldness the Manggarai read on the face and remember — a colder Ch-63 reception and no warming of the two relationships this chapter opened.

"HL_0005 [T0_Hard_Lines:5] — no cinema shorthand: the caci is the documented scored whip-and-shield contest with its agricultural blood-fertilizes-earth meaning, never savage spectacle; the naga tana is the tradition's soil-guardian dangerous because violated, never Hollywood-monstered; the benevolent dukun/healer role is honored and the malevolence lives in a distinct twisted-word practitioner (the retired 'corrupted dukun' framing must never return — six drifted registry cells were corrected for exactly this)",
"HL_0123 [T0_Hard_Lines:124] — §17.1 protection is COLLECTIVE; the broker's human crew and its captain are killable antagonists and the community is not a target",

"named_gaps": [
"REVEAL, verified clean rather than assumed: the House of Velheim does not exist to the player at Ch 3 — the broker Ngoéng Tana, his crew and his bought champion are a purely local pre-colonial structure with no Antagonist_Network operative row, and the family first appears at Ch 8. Nothing in this definition reaches for a pattern, a chain or a negated agent-noun; the Grand Sage is dark [CH_03.md:99, :261, :272]. This is a check performed, not a gap.",
"NO MAIN-STORY QUESTLINE ROW EXISTS. T0_Questline_Index holds 101 rows in exactly three classes — 79 legendary, 12 side, 10 trade — and no main class at all. questline_id is therefore left EMPTY rather than pointed at a side lane. This is a registry gap, not a property of this node, and it will recur on all 79 main-story definitions.",
"encounter_facet cannot type this quest honestly. The enum is single-valued {folklore, materialized_argument, none}, and this quest carries BOTH: BE_0003_S1 is folklore (the naga tana) and BE_0003_S3 is materialized_argument (Tombo Holes, in the Ch-69 lineage), while the climax encounter BE_0003 is a corrupted human individual carrying neither. Set to none, with the two facets recorded here. A multi-encounter main-story quest needs either an array or a per-encounter facet column.",
"THREE BEATS HAVE ZERO AUTHORED DIALOGUE. Counted over the 427-row Ch-2/Ch-3 set: CH03_B06 (the Shell bond), CH03_B09 and CH03_B10 (both caci boss phases, including the unmasking) have no rows at all — and CH03_B10 carries a scene anchor, SC_CH03_caci_unmasking, with nothing to speak into it. The chapter's climax is currently a scene spec with no lines.",
"MAMA KLARA (CHAR_0006) HAS ZERO DIALOGUE ROWS, declared deferred scope by the spine itself. She is the chapter's most load-bearing NPC — she diagnoses the depletion, runs the ritual behind OBJ_02, and gives the familiar approach protocol behind OBJ_06 — and CH03_B02 has only 4 dialogue rows, none of them hers [CH_03.md:219].",
"THE ONCE-ONLY TASKING LINES ARE A LIVE STALENESS DEFECT ON THIS QUEST. Two of the six affected rows are this quest's own taskings: RATO_B11 (count the crew, behind OBJ_04) and RATO_B08 (the turned spring, behind OBJ_05). The condition grammar has no negation, so both re-offer their setup after the objective resolves. It awaits a schema decision — line_variant ordering, or a produced-flag column the grammar can test positively — and cannot be fixed in this row [CH_03.md:218].",
"THE FOUR FORK OPTIONS HAVE NO REGISTRY IDENTITY. Their only minted ids anywhere are the player_strings indices FORK_CH03_A:0 to :3; no fork/option registry rows exist, so fork_option_refs {fork_id, option_ref} resolves against a strings file rather than a registry key.",
"THE AGILITY COURSE HAS NO OWNER. HL_0079 requires one course per chapter and canon names it — the Wae Rebo mbaru-niang five-story ascent, architecture-vertical, with a cone-roof-proportion Puzzle variant — and DROP_CH03_AGILITY_LETTER_FRAGMENT exists for it, but the §10 beat graph has no beat hosting it, so it belongs to no quest definition [CH_03.md:78, :253; T0_RNG_Drop_Table:7].",
"THE TRADE-6 SUBSTRATE HAS NO BEAT AND SO NO QUEST HOME. SEED_0008 and Weaver Woman Emma's whole loom sequence sit on HUB_AMBIENT precisely because the chapter's twelve beats contain no craft or trade beat to point at — the spine records the absence rather than inventing a beat. It is therefore excluded from reward_seed_refs, and a later pass that gives Ch 3 a craft beat should move those rows onto it and add the seed here [CH_03.md:217].",
"THREADS 5 AND 13 ADVANCE WITH NO CARRIER BEAT. The compang axis-mundi and the mbaru-niang/lingko sacred geometry advance at chapter-ambient level only, so this quest realizes neither through an objective — deliberate on the spine's part, and named here so a later author does not read the omission as an oversight [CH_03.md:164].",
"BE_0003_S1 target_type is deliberately unresolved at fauna while its class-siblings type folklore_malevolent_being; a guardian appeased and not slain fits neither cleanly, and the enum harmonization is routed to the post-v3 registry consistency audit (roadmap D-1) [CH_03.md:308].",
"TWO PROMISE EDGES OPEN HERE AND ARE ONLY PARTIALLY WIRED: PL_0097 (early inscriptions unreadable at then-current mastery, re-read as Vimana Coordinate 1 of 6 at Ch 41) and PL_0100 (the early mastery rungs into the Ch-66 endgame gates) are both PARTIAL — the re-read-at-higher-tier system that would pay them back is named as a generalization ask, not built. CH03_B03 opens them regardless [T0_Promise_Ledger @ PL_0097, @ PL_0100]."
