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_11.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 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 clerk with a lamp, standing much closer to the paper than to the door.
Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE LAMP MOVED -- he sets his lamp down beside the record stacks rather than on the desk. Nothing happens. Free, and it is a threat: he has told the player exactly what he will do.
| phase | name | what it PUSHES (nothing pops) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | the infiltration | the ledger house, its guards and its stacks. A stealth and reading problem with a fire hazard standing in it. |
| 2 | the cornering | BE_0011_S2's evolve-not-swap clause: it RAISES THE GUARD TEMPO ON THE SAME GRAMMAR. No new guards; the same ones, faster. |
| # | ability | phase | body origin | tell shape | counter | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Lamp Moved | 1 | his own hand, and a lamp | the lamp goes beside the paper | any | |
| 2 | The Guard Pincer | 1 | two men at both ends of a stack range | the lamps are behind you and in front of you | cover | The row's counter -- 'the guard pincer -> a gap-jump or a Stone Skin block'. |
| 3 | The Stack Cover | 1 | the record stacks themselves | a man's shadow is on the paper and he is not | cover | EG_0171 is CONCEALMENT class and enemy_usable = TRUE; both sides use it, and only one side is willing to burn it. |
| 4 | The Quota Structure | 1 | the records, read in sequence | two entries that cannot both be true | weak_point | primary_verb = expose. The named weak point is a contradiction in his own filing. |
| 5 | The Alarm Cord | 1 | a pull-cord at the ledger house door | he moves toward the door and not through it | trigger_interrupt | The row's second counter -- 'the ledger-burn threat -> race the exposure or CUT THE ALARM LINE'. |
| 6 | The Threatened Burn | 1 | the lamp, tipped toward the stack | he picks the lamp back up | trigger_interrupt | The race's actual clock. EG_0171 carries fuel:flammable and D2_IGNITE, and he is the one who arms it. |
| 7 | The Clerk's Knowledge | 1 | his own memory of the filing | he moves to a shelf without looking at it | neutralize | He knows where everything is and the player does not. Neutralize is watching where he goes. |
| 8 | The Raised Tempo | 2 | the same two guards, on a shorter circuit | the pincer closes in fewer beats | cover | MHM-G10's variant law: ability 2's root, compressed. |
| 9 | The Scatter | 2 | the records, thrown rather than burned | he stops carrying paper and starts dropping it | any | PATTERN COUNTER: which entries he drops and which he keeps is the read, and it takes several throws to see. |
| 10 | The Doorway Hold | 2 | his own body in the only exit | he stops retreating | parry_only | |
| 11 | The Last Page | 2 | one document, held over the lamp | he stops moving entirely | trigger_interrupt | |
| 12 | The Exposure | 2 | the quota structure, read out where the station can hear it | he puts the page down | any | win_condition = EXPOSE;REDUCE. The win is that a system becomes legible. |
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 lamp | The Lamp Moved (1), The Threatened Burn (6) and The Last Page (11) all leave the encounter -- nothing can be burned | the race stops being a race and becomes a search | nothing harvested |
| the alarm cord | The Alarm Cord (5) and The Raised Tempo (8) lose their trigger | the guards keep their original circuit | nothing harvested |
EG_0171 Ledger-House Interior Shell and the Quota Record Stacks -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, CONCEALMENT, D2_IGNITE armed, fuel:flammable, transient_combat. The arena, and the thing at stake, and the thing HE is willing to burn.EG_0172 Station-Master's Quarters and the Fixed Iron-and-Canvas Fabric -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, COVER, D1_COLLAPSE. Next door, and where the noise carries.EG_0170 Sentry-Line Palisade and Patrol Cordon -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, CONSTRICTION. The approach.| channel | what the player sees or hears |
|---|---|
| posture | he stops standing between the player and the door and starts standing between the player and the shelves |
| breath | his -- he is not a fighter and it shows immediately |
| vocal | he starts talking, continuously, which is the opposite of everyone else in the chapter |
| opener | The Lamp Moved is retired; The Threatened Burn becomes the opener |
HE ENTERS already inside. HE RELOCATES between shelves he knows. HE LEAVES exposed. WHAT HE DOES TO THE ARENA: he threatens to end it -- the only encounter in the slice where the adversary's win condition is destroying the room.
care_tier = elevated, target_type = colonial_apparatus, threads = T03. MUNDANE: a clerk with a lamp. The quota records ARE the atrocity's paperwork and the encounter's whole shape is that a system is made legible rather than that a man is killed; win_condition = EXPOSE;REDUCE and the exposure is the win. Routed through the apparatus per CVD 17.1.
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.
