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.

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 machine the size of a building, doing the same thing forever.
Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE CYCLE -- the battery drops its stamps on a period and nothing else happens. Free, and it is the entire adversary: this thing has one idea and it will never have another.
| phase | name | what it PUSHES (nothing pops) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | the traverse | crossing the machine floor under its hazards. |
| 2 | the break | BE_0013_S1's evolve-not-swap clause: it TIGHTENS THE VENT TIMINGS, NO NEW ATTACKS. |
| # | ability | phase | body origin | tell shape | counter | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Cycle | 1 | the stamp frame's own reciprocation | the stamps drop on a period | any | |
| 2 | The Crush Lane | 1 | the floor plate under the frame | the plate moves before the stamp does | dodge_only | The row's counter -- 'the crush lane -> step on its telegraph'. |
| 3 | The Steam-Vent Tell | 1 | the relief line above the walkway | the pipe's lagging darkens with condensate | trigger_interrupt | The row's first counter -- 'the steam-vent tell -> time the gap or Heat-Shield the burst'. |
| 4 | The Belt Run | 1 | the drive belts between floors | a belt that was slack goes taut | cover | |
| 5 | The Ore Chute | 1 | the feed, opening | the noise above you changes before the fall does | dodge_only | |
| 6 | The Hot Floor | 1 | the plate over the boiler run | your own footing reads hot before it reads unstable | any | |
| 7 | The Narrow Gantry | 1 | the walkway between frames | the only route is the one with the frame beside it | cover | |
| 8 | The Tightened Vent | 2 | the same relief, on a shorter period | the lagging darkens and the release is already coming | trigger_interrupt | MHM-G10's variant law: ability 3's root with the gap removed. |
| 9 | The Overloaded Frame | 2 | the battery, running against a jam | the pitch drops and stays down | weak_point | The named weak point, and win_condition = PART_BREAK runs through it. |
| 10 | The Sprung Belt | 2 | a drive belt failing under load | the taut belt develops a wave | dodge_only | |
| 11 | The Cascade | 2 | one broken part loading the next | the frame's rhythm becomes irregular | cover | PATTERN COUNTER: the irregularity has a shape and predicting the next failure is how the player crosses the floor safely. |
| 12 | The Stop | 2 | the battery, halted | the noise ends | any | win_condition = PART_BREAK. |
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 relief valve | The Steam-Vent Tell (3), The Tightened Vent (8) and The Hot Floor (6) all go cold | the plume over the works stops | brass fitting -- salvage, and the chapter's smithing line takes it |
| the drive belt | The Belt Run (4) and The Sprung Belt (10) leave the encounter | the upper floors stop moving | leather belt stock |
| the load frame | The Cycle (1), The Crush Lane (2) and The Overloaded Frame (9) all end | the noise stops, which is the readout for the whole chapter | nothing harvested -- the break is the win |
EG_0215 Headgear and Stamp-Battery Floor -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, CONSTRICTION, D1_COLLAPSE, loaded_potential = structural. The machine IS the row.EG_0216 Boiler Line and Steam-Vent Run -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, HAZARD_VOLUME, D2_IGNITE, thermal_state:hot.EG_0217 Labor Floor, Compound Gate and the Pressed-Labor Line -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, COVER, D1_COLLAPSE. The floor below, where the people are.EG_0206 The Mining-Defaced Panel Pocket -- CARE-BOUND, GEOMETRY ONLY: hard_blocked, ten hard-line refs, attack_verbs = none. What the works is doing to the range, and it is never further damaged.| channel | what the player sees or hears |
|---|---|
| posture | no body and none invented. The channel is the FRAME: its travel gets longer as the bearings go |
| breath | the boiler's -- the vent period, which is the encounter's only rhythm |
| vocal | the battery's own noise, which changes pitch and never stops until it stops |
| opener | The Cycle is retired; The Crush Lane becomes the opener |
IT DOES NOT ENTER, RELOCATE OR LEAVE. It is a building. WHAT IT DOES TO THE ARENA: it is the arena, and it is the only adversary in the slice with no intention at all.
care_tier = elevated, target_type = oppressor_apparatus, threads = T22. MUNDANE and MINDLESS -- intelligence_tier = feral on evidence rule A8, which is the ladder's honest 'nothing above matches, and the row is BOARDED for a read'. A machine commits and does not reconsider, which is exactly what tier 1 says; if the tier scale later grows a non-agent member, this row is the first candidate and the board is recorded here. The sacred-stone desecration is the grievance and EG_0206 is never further damaged.
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.
