# Morning gate — 2026-08-07 (one sitting)

**Status: DRAFT — the overnight session updates this as work lands. Do not
run it until this banner says READY.**

Everything below folds the deferred visual gates into one sitting, ordered so
travel between sites doubles as #339 reproduction attempts. Launch is
prepared by the overnight session; **the client is NOT launched until you're
back** (your instruction).

## 0. Launch (the lead runs this when you say go)

Main checkout, absolute path, probes armed. The first `[step-h]` line in the
log must print the assembly path under
`C:\Users\erikn\source\repos\acdream\src\` — that is the wrong-binary guard,
now part of every capture.

## 1. Already verified last night — nothing owed

- **#32 local edge-slide** — you passed it at the Rithwic cliff ("Yes works
  now"). Closed.
- **#338 step heights** — headline refuted by measurement; no production
  change happened, so there is nothing to look at. Closed (AD-68 records the
  benign residual).

## 2. The sitting

| # | What | Where / how | Pass looks like |
|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | *(placeholder — filled in by the overnight landings: #330 is
  automated-gate-only and needs no eyes; S1/S2/S3/S4/S5 rows appear here
  exactly as far as the night got)* | | |

## 3. Free riders during travel

- **#339 portal-space hang** — every portal you take is a reproduction
  attempt; if you get stuck again, the log captures the readiness flags and
  the session becomes the diagnosis session. Nothing to do actively.

## 4. Deliberately NOT in this sitting

- **C5c's connected-gate batch** (~1 hr: D-1 scenarios, AP-136 six-step park,
  route-7, two-client, nine-stop soak) — standing debt by your direction;
  say the word any morning and it becomes its own sitting. The probe family
  stays in the tree until it runs.
- **AP-156 scale question** — retail does NOT scale cross-cell flood spheres;
  we do. Matching retail here means adopting a retail bug whose direction is
  walk-through for shrunk objects. Your call, explicitly, before any code
  changes: keep our over-inclusive scaling (safe, divergent) or match retail
  (faithful, under-inclusive for scale<1). One sentence from you settles it.
