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. Crates on a shelf above the water, and men who keep checking the sea.
Opener (MHM-G10, the cheap lesson first). THE TIDE MARK -- the wet line on the rock is higher than it was when you looked. Nothing attacks. Free, and it starts the only clock in the encounter.
| phase | name | what it PUSHES (nothing pops) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | the approach | their posted escort on a closing tide. Timing and the cliff line. |
| 2 | the shelf | BE_0013_S6's evolve-not-swap clause: THE SAME ESCORT GRAMMAR, NOW FIGHTING WITH ITS BACK TO A RISING SEA. |
| # | ability | phase | body origin | tell shape | counter | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Tide Mark | 1 | the sea, on the rock | the wet line is higher than it was | any | The row's own counter -- 'the tide is the clock AND THE GROUND BOTH -- the shelf is walkable for a window and conductive when it is not (EG_0208)'. |
| 2 | The Escort Volley | 1 | posted riflemen above the approach | they take the cliff line and stop moving | cover | The row's second counter -- 'the escort volley -> the cliff line, WHICH THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW ONTO'. |
| 3 | The Cliff Line | 1 | the traverse the escort refuses | the route they are not watching is the exposed one | any | They will not follow. That is the answer and it is free to discover. |
| 4 | The Approach Lane | 1 | the shelf's own walkable window | the shelf is dry for a span and then it is not | trigger_interrupt | |
| 5 | The Posted Sentry | 1 | a man above the crates | a lamp that does not move with the others | cover | |
| 6 | The Crate Line | 1 | the taking, in progress | the crates are going UP | any | The stake, and the reason the encounter has a hurry in it. |
| 7 | The Wet Shelf | 1 | the conductive rock once the water is over it | the shelf stops being footing | dodge_only | EG_0208 carries D6_CONDUCT and medium:conductive, and the tide arms it for both sides. |
| 8 | The Backed Escort | 2 | the same men, with the sea behind them | they hold a line they cannot give ground on | parry_only | The row's own clause. Same grammar, no retreat, which makes them more dangerous and more answerable at once. |
| 9 | The Lifting Rig | 2 | the frame taking the crates up the cliff | the rig's line goes taut | weak_point | The row's third counter -- 'the rig -> ITS OWN LIFTING FRAME, WHICH IS WHAT ACTUALLY STOPS THE TAKING'. win_condition = REDUCE;PART_BREAK. |
| 10 | The Cut Line | 2 | a rig line released deliberately | a crate drops rather than rises | dodge_only | They will drop the material rather than lose it, which the encounter treats as the loss it is. |
| 11 | The Last Window | 2 | the tide's final walkable beat | the shelf's dry span is one pace wide | trigger_interrupt | |
| 12 | The Rig Down | 2 | the lifting frame, collapsed | the line goes slack and stays slack | any | win_condition = REDUCE;PART_BREAK, has_nonkill_path = TRUE. The taking stops. |
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 lifting rig | The Lifting Rig (9) and The Cut Line (10) both end -- nothing leaves the shelf | the crates stay where they are, which is the win stated in one image | nothing harvested. The row is explicit that the rig is what actually stops the taking |
| the escort's high ground | The Escort Volley (2) and The Posted Sentry (5) lose their posts once the cliff line is taken | they come down onto the shelf, where the tide is a problem for them too | nothing harvested |
EG_0208 Blombos Sea-Cliff Approach and Tidal Shelf -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, TRAVERSAL_SURFACE, D6_CONDUCT, medium:conductive, submersion, heals_over. The row's own counters cell names this id, and the tide arms it against everyone equally.EG_0207 The Blombos Ochre Stratum and Pigment-Processing Floor -- CARE-BOUND, GEOMETRY ONLY: hard_blocked, HL_0001;HL_0002;HL_0003;HL_0004;HL_0006;HL_0007, enemy_usable = FALSE, attack_verbs = none. THE DEEP-TIME DEPOSIT IS WHAT IS BEING TAKEN and it is never dug, damaged or entered as a combat volume by anyone, including the player. The fight happens on the shelf outside it.EG_0212 Quay, Warehouse Frontage and the Colonial Register Room -- BOTH: enemy_usable = TRUE, COVER, D1_COLLAPSE. Where the crates were going.| channel | what the player sees or hears |
|---|---|
| posture | the escort stops facing outward and starts standing shoulder to shoulder |
| breath | the sea's -- the swell's period shortens as the tide makes |
| vocal | the sentry's calls stop being about the player and start being about the water |
| opener | The Tide Mark is retired; The Backed Escort becomes the opener |
THEY ENTER before the player, already working. THEY RELOCATE upward, toward the rig. THEY LEAVE when the rig does. WHAT THEY DO TO THE ARENA: they are removing part of it, and the tide is removing the rest.
care_tier = elevated, target_type = oppressor_apparatus, threads = T22;T03. MUNDANE: an escort, a rig and crates. THE OCHRE STRATUM IS NEVER DUG BY ANYONE. EG_0207 is hard_blocked with six hard-line refs and there is no ability in this kit -- for either side -- that damages, excavates or enters it; the whole fight is on the shelf outside. The antagonist is the period-true institutional collecting that commissioned the taking, routed per CVD 17.1, and win_condition = REDUCE;PART_BREAK means the encounter is won against a machine and a schedule rather than against a body count.
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.
