KIT_BE_0010_S1 -- The Lesser-Panel Sickness-Node -- the protocol, taught on something that can be got wrong

CANON SUBORDINATION — this document is PROPOSAL-TIER: it serves canon and never outranks it.

The canon: the CVD · the T1 foundation docs · the T0 registries (registries/) · the spine

(docs/spine/CH_*.md) · the region pages (_source/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/). Authority order: docs/DOC_MAP.md § 0.

Canon served (structural — the registries this kit's canon rows live in, plus its chapter's spine node):

T0_Boss_Encounter_Registry · docs/spine/CH_10.md

READ THAT CANON FIRST — open it and derive from it before you build anything from this document.

If this document disagrees with canon, CANON WINS and this document is the defect — fix the

document, never the canon. Nothing here is applied until it is ratified into canon.

PROPOSAL-TIER. This kit serves canon and never outranks it. It writes no registry row.

The law it obeys: docs/proposals/combat/KIT_SCALING_TABLE.md. The intelligence scale:

docs/proposals/combat/INTELLIGENCE_TIERS.md. The body it fights with is the bestiary

lane's: docs/proposals/bestiary/BESTIARY_ELEVATION_DOCTRINE.md and its sheets. This file

describes the FIGHT; it never restates the BODY. Authors no magnitude -- no damage, no

health, no timing, no coefficient. Those are Phase-5M's behind the tuning firewall.

Silhouette read. A smaller panel in an alcove, dimming at the edge.

Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE REHEARSAL MISREAD -- the same free re-perceive the main encounter guarantees, on a surface where the stake is small. It is the tutorial and it says so.

phases -- evolve, never swap

phase	name	what it PUSHES (nothing pops)
1	perception	the read alone. Deliberately forgiving.
2	vril-management	the second step layered onto the held read. The main encounter's phases 1-2, at rehearsal scale.

the kit

#	ability	phase	kind	body origin	tell shape	counter	element	lore ground + mechanism	note
1	The Rehearsal Misread	1	non-ordinary	the lesser panel, read wrongly	the reading does not settle, and it is free	`any`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1`'s own counters cell -- 'a misread grants a free re-perceive'. MECHANISM: identical to the main encounter's guarantee, at lower stakes. Element `none`.
2	The Small Register	1	non-ordinary	the alcove panel's own forms	one form belongs and one does not	`weak_point`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1` `composure_nodes = puzzle_routed=lesser_panel_read`. MECHANISM: the entoptic read at teaching scale. Element `none`.
3	The Node's Feeding-Tell	1	non-ordinary	the sickness-node, drawing	the alcove dims twice before anything else	`any`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1` -- 'the feeding-tell telegraphs twice before consequence'. MECHANISM: the same double-telegraph guarantee. Element `none`.
4	The Slow Encroachment	1	non-ordinary	the node's edge on the panel	the dimming's boundary moves one hand's width per cycle	`cover`	none	LORE GROUND: `EG_0148` Lesser-Panel Alcove and Protocol-Rehearsal Apron, `hard_blocked`. MECHANISM: the stake is the same and it is smaller. Element `none`.
5	The Ambiguous Form	1	non-ordinary	a shape that reads both ways	a form that is neither clearly the panel's nor clearly the node's	`neutralize`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1` `target_type = environmental_protocol_boss_folklore_malevolent_being`. MECHANISM: the genuinely undecidable case, included so the player learns that 'undecided' is an answer. Element `none`.
6	The Second Read	1	non-ordinary	the same form, from a different position	the ambiguity resolves when you move	`any`	none	LORE GROUND: the cross-readable structure `BE_0010` establishes. MECHANISM: position is the second channel, and it is free. Element `none`.	The rehearsal's kindest teaching: when a read will not settle, move.
7	The Inner Heat, Rehearsed	2	non-ordinary	the reader's own body under a held read	the heat rises while the read is still required	`trigger_interrupt`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1` `composure_nodes = vril_management=inner_heat_rehearse`. MECHANISM: the stack-hold, introduced. Element `none`.
8	The Drifting Read	2	non-ordinary	phase 1's perception, under the new load	a settled reading starts moving again	`weak_point`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1`'s 'layered onto the HELD read'. MECHANISM: the earlier step is held, not banked. Element `none`.
9	The Forgiving Slip	2	non-ordinary	the encounter, giving the step back	a dropped hold can be picked up without restarting	`any`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1` -- 'damage impossible, DELIBERATELY FORGIVING'. MECHANISM: the row's own word, made into an ability: dropping a hold here is recoverable, and in the main encounter it is not. Element `none`.	The difference between the rehearsal and the real thing, stated in one move.
10	The Node's Reach	2	non-ordinary	the sickness-node, extending	the dimming reaches the alcove's far edge	`cover`	none	LORE GROUND: same `EG_0148` context. MECHANISM: the loss condition, and it is slow. Element `none`.
11	The Node Recedes	2	non-ordinary	the encroachment, pushed back by a held stack	the alcove's edge brightens	`any`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1` `win_condition = PERCEIVE;PURGE`. MECHANISM: the same purgation, two steps instead of four. Element `none`.
12	The Panel Kept	2	non-ordinary	the lesser panel, legible	the dimming stops	`any`	none	LORE GROUND: `BE_0010_S1` `win_condition = PERCEIVE;PURGE`, `care_tier = high`. MECHANISM: the win is a wall that is still readable. Element `none`.

ELEVATED, AND NOT ELEMENTAL BY DEFAULT (KIT_SCALING_TABLE 3.1b). 12 of the 12 moves

above are non-ordinary and each names its element family, its lore ground and its

mechanism. The rest are a body doing physical things, and they are marked physical rather

than dressed up. An elevated kit is one that CONTAINS the non-ordinary; it is not one in

which everything glows.

part economy -- the three currencies (MHM-G4)

part	moveset subtraction on break	legibility gain	material the economy wants
the perception hold	The Ambiguous Form (5) and The Drifting Read (8) leave the live set once held clean	the alcove's forms stop moving	NOTHING HARVESTED -- `hard_blocked` site
the vril-management hold	The Inner Heat, Rehearsed (7) stops demanding once held through a cycle	the reader's own state stops being a variable	nothing harvested

the arena, both directions (MHM-G13)

EG_0148 Lesser-Panel Alcove and Protocol-Rehearsal Apron -- CARE-BOUND, GEOMETRY ONLY: hard_blocked, HL_0001;HL_0002;HL_0004;HL_0005;HL_0007;HL_0121, enemy_usable = FALSE, attack_verbs = none. The alcove is the rehearsal ground and is never touched.
EG_0150 Rock-Shelter Apron and Patinated Overhang -- CARE-BOUND, GEOMETRY ONLY: hard_blocked. The approach.
EG_0146 /Xam Entoptic-Pattern Panel Face -- CARE-BOUND, REFERENCED AND NEVER REPRODUCED.

escalation, announced in the body before the numbers (MHM-G7)

channel	what the player sees or hears
posture	none, and none is invented. The channel is the ALCOVE's dimming edge
breath	the reader's own
vocal	the alcove's echo, shortening
opener	The Rehearsal Misread stays free in both phases -- this encounter never withdraws its kindness, which is the whole point of it

turf and relocation (MHM-G8, MHM-G9)

IT DOES NOT ENTER OR LEAVE. It is on a wall. WHAT IT DOES TO THE ARENA: nothing but take it, slowly.

the care read

care_tier = high. Same constraints as BE_0010 and stated rather than inherited: damage impossible, panel never touched, entoptic material referenced and never reproduced, HL_0121 and the full EG_0148 stack binding. This encounter exists so that the player arrives at the main protocol having already been forgiven for getting it wrong.

difficulty-mode expression

This kit is authored ONCE, at Fading. The five modulators of KIT_SCALING_TABLE section 4

express it across the ladder: active_ability_set grows upward through reserved follow-ups

on roots the player already learned, window_class tightens, answer_tree_depth prunes

toward the single true answer, hazard_concurrency rises with the arena rows above, and

phase_overlap interleaves the phase cycles. No second kit exists and no number here changes

with the tier.
