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):

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 bestiarylane'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 non-commissioned officer who is better at this than the men he commands.
Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE POST CHECK -- he walks his own line and corrects one man's spacing. Nothing happens. Free, and it shows the player that the cordon is HIS and that it has a shape.
| phase | name | what it PUSHES (nothing pops) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | the sentry-line breach | his cordon, held by men he has trained. The fight is against a formation. |
| 2 | the isolated duel | BE_0011_S1's evolve-not-swap clause: it TIGHTENS HIS TELEGRAPH WINDOWS AND IMPORTS THE PATROL CADENCE. His own attacks arrive on the circuit's beat. |
| # | ability | phase | body origin | tell shape | counter | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Post Check | 1 | his own walk down the line | he corrects a man's spacing | any | |
| 2 | The Carbine Volley | 1 | the section, on his call | the line stops moving and levels together | cover | The row's counter -- 'the carbine volley -> canopy cover or a dodge-roll'. |
| 3 | The Reload Window | 1 | the section's own rhythm | the line's rifles come down at the same moment | any | The gap the whole first phase is built around, and it is free to see. |
| 4 | The Cordon Close | 1 | the sentry line converging on a breach point | the posts either side of the gap advance | cover | |
| 5 | The Bayonet Line | 1 | the section, closing with fixed steel | they stop shooting | parry_only | |
| 6 | The Whistle | 1 | his own signal, redirecting the line | a whistle that is not on the patrol's beat | neutralize | |
| 7 | The Regrowth Lane | 1 | the saw-vine thicket at the clearing's edge | he drives you toward the margin instead of the palisade | dodge_only | EG_0173 is CONSTRICTION class and enemy_usable = TRUE; the regrowth is worse to fight in than the open, and he knows it. |
| 8 | The Sabre Lunge | 2 | rear leg and point, from a formal guard | his rear heel lifts and the point drops | dodge_only | The row's second counter -- 'the sabre lunge -> a parry-riposte or a stagger-break'. |
| 9 | The Riposte Trap | 2 | the same lunge, aborted into a parry | the rear heel lifts and the point does NOT drop | parry_only | MHM-G10's variant law: ability 8's root with one detail changed, and that detail is the answer. |
| 10 | The Imported Cadence | 2 | his attacks, timed to the patrol circuit | his exchanges arrive on the interval the cordon was walking | neutralize | PATTERN COUNTER: the read is the interval, learned in phase 1, and it is the row's own evolve-not-swap clause. |
| 11 | The Pistol | 2 | a holstered sidearm at close range | his off hand leaves his guard | cover | |
| 12 | The Surrender | 2 | a sabre reversed and offered | he stops on the beat instead of between beats | any | win_condition = REDUCE. He is a professional and professionals stop. |
CLASS PURITY (tooth T5). Every move above is physical. No element family, no vril
mechanism, no non-ordinary affordance appears in this kit, because this being's own canon
row carries no hollow row, no lore home and nothing that elevates it. It is dangerous the
way the real animal or the real person is dangerous, engineered up until it reads at the
shipped combat camera. TIMID here would mean BORING-PHYSICAL, never insufficiently magical.
| part | moveset subtraction on break | legibility gain | material the economy wants |
|---|---|---|---|
| the section's discipline | The Carbine Volley (2), The Cordon Close (4) and The Bayonet Line (5) lose their coordination as men break | the volley stops being simultaneous, which is audible | nothing harvested |
| his whistle | The Whistle (6) and The Imported Cadence (10) lose their reference | he has to shout, and shouting is slower than the beat he was using | nothing harvested |
EG_0170 Sentry-Line Palisade and Patrol Cordon -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, CONSTRICTION, D1_COLLAPSE. His line, and it can be dropped.EG_0173 Efak Clearing Regrowth and the Saw-Vine Thicket Margin -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, CONSTRICTION, heals_over. Ability 7 is him arming it.EG_0168 Bank Staging Point and Saturated Mud Margin -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, material:saturated_earth. Bad footing for a lunge, in both directions.| channel | what the player sees or hears |
|---|---|
| posture | he stops walking the line and takes a fencing guard |

HE ENTERS on his own cordon. HE RELOCATES along it and never off it in phase 1. HE LEAVES by surrendering. WHAT HE DOES TO THE ARENA: he drew it -- the posts, the spacing and the lane are all his, and breaking the line is what makes phase 2 possible.
care_tier = elevated, target_type = oppressor_apparatus. MUNDANE. He is the apparatus's competent middle, and the Force Publique's rank-and-file are conscripted men whose discipline breaks under pressure -- part 1 is that, and it is not a moral judgement on them. The antagonist is the concession system above him. has_nonkill_path = TRUE is not declared on this row; the surrender in ability 12 is the row's own REDUCE read generously and is boarded as a proposal rather than claimed as canon.
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.
