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_12.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 factory agent who has never been on the beach and knows every name on it.
Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE OPEN BOOK -- he leaves the day-book open on the desk, because nothing in it is incriminating. Free, and it teaches that the fight is about which book.
| phase | name | what it PUSHES (nothing pops) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | the infiltration | the ledger house, the guards, and two sets of books. |
| 2 | the cornering | BE_0012_S2's evolve-not-swap clause: it RAISES THE GUARD TEMPO ON THE SAME GRAMMAR. |
| # | ability | phase | body origin | tell shape | counter | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Open Book | 1 | the day-book on the desk | a book left open where anyone could read it | any | |
| 2 | The Guard Pincer | 1 | two men at both ends of the room | they take the doors rather than the desk | cover | The row's counter -- 'the guard pincer -> a gap-jump or a Stone Skin block'. |
| 3 | The Second Set | 1 | the real accounts, kept elsewhere | a tally that does not match the day-book's totals | weak_point | |
| 4 | The Alarm Line | 1 | a cord to the compound gate | he moves toward the wall and not the door | trigger_interrupt | The row's second counter -- 'the ledger-burn threat -> race the exposure or CUT THE ALARM LINE'. |
| 5 | The Threatened Burn | 1 | a lamp over the tally stacks | the lamp moves to the shelf | trigger_interrupt | EG_0186 is D2_IGNITE-armed with fuel:flammable, and he is the one who arms it. |
| 6 | The Named Intermediary | 1 | a name that appears in both sets | one name is written the same way in two different hands | weak_point | The link BE_0012's complicity chain needs. The chapter's whole evidence line runs through this ability. |
| 7 | The Bought Quiet | 1 | a factory clerk who stops helping | someone who was answering stops | neutralize | |
| 8 | The Raised Tempo | 2 | the same guards, faster | the pincer closes in fewer beats | cover | |
| 9 | The Scattered Tally | 2 | the accounts, thrown | he stops carrying paper and starts dropping it | any | PATTERN COUNTER: which pages he drops and which he keeps is the read. |
| 10 | The Doorway Hold | 2 | his own body in the exit | he stops retreating | parry_only | |
| 11 | The Offer | 2 | a share, proposed across a desk | he opens the book toward you | any | Taking it is available and it is an integrity write. This chapter does not pretend the temptation is not real. |
| 12 | The Exposure | 2 | the quota structure, read where the court will hear it | he stops talking | any | win_condition = EXPOSE;REDUCE. |
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| the lamp | The Threatened Burn (5) leaves the encounter | the race becomes a search | nothing harvested |
| the second set of books | The Second Set (3), The Named Intermediary (6) and The Scattered Tally (9) resolve at once -- the structure is legible | he stops moving toward shelves | the quota structure, and the named intermediary BE_0012 phase 2 needs |

HE ENTERS already inside. HE RELOCATES between shelves. HE LEAVES exposed. WHAT HE DOES TO THE ARENA: he threatens to burn it, and that threat is the clock.
care_tier = elevated, target_type = economic_apparatus. MUNDANE. The quota records are the trade's paperwork and making them legible is the win; the people they count are never depicted or enumerated on screen. 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.
