feat(attest-demo): floating panels show the REAL pipeline encircled PNGs for canned scenarios · v2.29.0

The floating panels were a browser canvas approximation — not the pipeline output.
Now attest-demo PRE-RENDERS the real encircled PNGs for every canned scenario
(scripts/pmu/attest-scenarios.mjs, shared by both sides): two genTriptych builds
per scenario (intent-vs-reality = Fail A, intent-vs-negative = Fail B), fewer
impostors since only the encircled PNG is needed. R.scenarios carries the actual
encircleRegionsPng data URIs.

The floating panels now show the REAL pipeline PNG (an <img>) for the default and
every canned intervention — swapping instantly on click. A free-text edit clears
the scenario and falls back to the labeled gzip-analogue canvas (only live Rust
could redraw arbitrary text — the stated horizon). The HUD label says which mode
is showing.

The four canned scenarios are the coherent spec.txt ones (Faithful surgery →
IN_LANE · Surgery→Sledgehammer · Analysis→Execution · Force-Tie), centralized so
the pre-render and the UX use identical text.

Verified in jsdom: default shows the real PNG (data:image/png, canvas hidden),
Sledgehammer swaps the real PNG + OFF_DOMAIN, free edit falls to the canvas
analogue. Guard 26/26.

Story: 'this is not the png output from the pipeline we need' — so the floating panels now carry the ACTUAL pre-rendered pipeline encircled PNGs for the canned scenarios, with the analogue canvas kept only as the free-edit fallback. The operator's 'then we may be done — when those are the pngs not canvas floating' condition is met.

◎ COMPETENCE SHAPE — the leaf walk, encircled
the shape the off-lane % describes — each cluster ringed in its own colour, numbered, located on the 144-anchor lattice
each region is where the leaf walk — the recursive definer-of-definer walk on the chip — lit reality outside the declared intent lane. Named, ranged and read below deterministically, with zero model in the loop — recompute the identical bytes yourself: npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo

what you're looking at: the whole map is your competence lattice — both edges are the same 144 ShortLex anchors (what you do × what you act on). Each lit cell is one place this commit said something (its message + docs) and did something (its code). Colour = whether saying and doing landed in the same lane.
green — in lane: you worked where you declared. This is the competence; more green is better.
amber — bleed: code touched a neighbour you didn't mention. A little is normal — nobody declares everything.
red — drift: code fired in an orthogonal lane (the surgeon doing plumbing) and enough of it to flip the aggregate. Red ≈ 0 is what good looks like.
◎ the pink ring is this commit's coordinate — where its work actually concentrated on the lattice.
so, this commit: 1010 green, 1178 amber, 0 red → off-lane 14% against a 25% tolerance — in lane, some bleed.

B3,C3 — Tactics·Signal × Operations·Flow (actor) acting on B3,B1 — Tactics·Signal × Tactics·Speed (patient) · grip 0.750
actor seed B3,C3 — Broadcast signal bandwidth and message reach drive the flow throughput and delivery rate across the pipeline. Flow is the rate at which committed work crosses the finish line. Inventory accumulates upstream; flow is the only thing the customer pays for, and the only thing the operator can measure honestly. Movement is the irreversible delivery of value across the boundary. Anything stationary is cost; anything moving is either revenue, deferred revenue, or the exhaust of revenue not yet realized. Throughput dominates utilization. A ninety-nine-percent utilized system at low throughput pays the same wages as a fifty-percent utilized system at twice the throughput, but the second one ships the customer's order. Flow has a direction. Bidirectional flow is two flows, each measured separately; calling them a single flow hides the chokepoint and the chokepoint is where the leverage lives. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered. Every message carries provenance. The sender's history is half the message's weight; an unknown sender pays in attention what a known sender pays in seconds saved.
patient seed B3,B1 — Bandwidth limits of a signal determine the speed and tempo beats of the message broadcast. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. Latency is the price of a missed beat. Every hundred milliseconds of round-trip turns a parallel race into a stalemate, because the first arrival sets the rules the second arrival has to honor. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Throughput compounds: doubling the rate doubles the surface area where serendipity can hit. A pipeline at twice the velocity is not twice as productive — it is exponentially more lucky. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered. Time-to-first-byte is the only number the operator feels at the wheel. Optimize the felt latency before the raw throughput; the operator's grip on the loop is what drives the loop forward. Every message carries provenance. The sender's history is half the message's weight; an unknown sender pays in attention what a known sender pays in seconds saved. Velocity is irreversible. A delivery sent fast cannot be unsent slow; a release deployed cannot be undeployed at the same speed it was deployed. Speed buys position, and position is harder to surrender than to occupy.

feat(attest-demo): floating panels show the REAL pipeline encircled PNGs for canned scenarios · v2.29.0

The floating panels were a browser canvas approximation — not the pipeline output.
Now attest-demo PRE-RENDERS the real encircled PNGs for every canned scenario
(scripts/pmu/attest-scenarios.mjs, shared by both sides): two genTriptych builds
per scenario (intent-vs-reality = Fail A, intent-vs-negative = Fail B), fewer
impostors since only the encircled PNG is needed. R.scenarios carries the actual
encircleRegionsPng data URIs.

The floating panels now show the REAL pipeline PNG (an <img>) for the default and
every canned intervention — swapping instantly on click. A free-text edit clears
the scenario and falls back to the labeled gzip-analogue canvas (only live Rust
could redraw arbitrary text — the stated horizon). The HUD label says which mode
is showing.

The four canned scenarios are the coherent spec.txt ones (Faithful surgery →
IN_LANE · Surgery→Sledgehammer · Analysis→Execution · Force-Tie), centralized so
the pre-render and the UX use identical text.

Verified in jsdom: default shows the real PNG (data:image/png, canvas hidden),
Sledgehammer swaps the real PNG + OF

③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · -0.51 noise p20 of last 10
no measurable relation between the work and the declared spec → do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
good looks like: positive on an aligned commit (phantom P1: sigmaPositive) · ≥6 clears the trust floor · ≥8.5 verified-reef · 0–3 = panel story not yet evidence
tolerance (edge cells) · 1010 green · 1178 amber · 0 red · off-lane 14% bleeding p80 of last 10
some reality fired outside the declared lanes — amber bleed, below the alarm flip → glance at the TOLERANCE panel — amber clusters show where reality leaned out
good looks like: red ≈ 0 and orthogonal off-lane < 10% on an in-lane commit (phantom P1: redZero, offPctBelow 10) — a few amber is normal bleed
pre-walk overlap · 8% overlapping p35 of last 10
the two ingests share real ground without being copies — the healthy middle → nothing to do — this is the healthy shape
good looks like: green overlap WITHOUT being a copy — near-100% is self-similarity (a docs-only read), not alignment
drift (XOR %) · 0.979% of compared cells disagree close p45 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 143 hops → ply 7 · reality 143 hops → ply 6 · 641ms inside-budget
both cascades ran to extinction inside the time budget — the read is complete · each hop = one real on-chip ballistic process; intent ended at A3,C1 · C1,C3, reality at C,B3 · A2,B1 · A2,B3 — the definers-of-definers the recursion concentrated on → the ply story in the panels is complete
good looks like: both sides finish inside the 2500ms budget; clouds concentrate at block-heads (the ShortLex-ascending follow), early plies heavy, deep plies faint
lattice fill · intent 2221/20736 (10.7%) · reality 2188/20736 (10.6%) flooded
too much lit — a flooded lattice makes every commit look alike (the AR-2 failure shape) → tighten θ or the claim budget — see anti-rules ledger AR-2 (unguided floods)
the ladder — what's climbing · weakest link first
→ weakest · intersection-specific words/tile (median) · 5 (over 144 tiles) → target 70 parent-echo distance 0.93 · author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
σ_response pass count · 32/144 → target 144 thin distance 0.78 · raise seed richness (the reef GDD loop) — pass count follows intersection-specific words
σ_localize (latest targeted edit) · 0.61 @ B3,B3 → target 6 chance distance 0.9 · iterate the ingest until the target zone owns its own edit — the brain-surgeon read does not yet hold
σ_drift (commit panel, median last 10 non-docs-only) · 2.54 (n=10) → target 6 weak distance 0.58 · read the maps as sketch, not evidence — converge the seed library before citing this
sweep coverage (deterministic top-rank hits) · 23/46 → target 46 majority distance 0.5 · chase the missing tiles in the sweep — each convert lifts σ_panel directly
seed orthogonality (distinct openings) · 143/144 → target 144 converging distance 0.01 · fix the few shared openings — tile-dump-inspect names them
σ_panel (joint rank certainty) · 10.63 → target 6 beyond-doubt distance 0 · cite the distribution-level claim (carry the independence caveat)
next move (picked by the system, not session memory): intersection-specific words/tile (median) is furthest from target weighted by leverage (5 (over 144 tiles) vs target 70 → distance 0.93 × leverage 1 = 0.93) — author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system

# Laboratory 🧪 — Reef-the-spec + A↔B signing → the delegation drift receipt

## WHY (authored in Operator)
The delegation itself should be **measured**, not trusted. The author room (actor) signs the spec as intent; the executing room (patient) signs delivered work; the real on-chip walk measures the drift = "did the room build what the spec asked." That makes the actor–patient pair the delegation subdivision, and dogfoods the signing mesh locally as a rehearsal for the internet-wide version. This is also what unblocks Builder's R6.

## REQUIREMENTS (falsifiable)
- **R1 — reef-from-spec.** A command that compiles an arbitrary markdown spec → a reef seeded from *its own* vocabulary (NOT the generic 144-tile library). *Check:* feeding `builder-npx-underwriter-package.md` yields a reef whose anchors come from that spec.
- **R2 — A↔B signing.** Node A (author room) ed25519-signs the reef/intent commitment; node B (executing room) signs the delivered-work payload. The two signatures + the drift receipt form one transaction. *Check:* two distinct host keys appear on the receipt.
- **R3 — The REAL walk (HARD RULE).** Run the **real recursive on-chip ballistic walk** (`pmu-onchip --ballistic`, connectivity lattice, row→column→row recursion) with spec=intent, delivered-work=reality. **NEVER** the analytic `mode=converged`/diffusion shortcut, a diagonal/identity grid, a JS BFS, or Monte-Carlo-as-the-walk. Speed is a correctness signal (~14ms, not ~21s). *Check:* `tests/pmu-simulator/competence-walk-is-real.test.mjs` stays green; the walk propagates past ply 1.
- **R4 — Drift receipt.** Output = a signed receipt stating whether the delivered work cohered with the spec (σ + verdict + triptych). *Check:* run Spec A as reef, Builder's package as payload → a signed σ.
- **R5 — Local mesh dogfood.** Run the whole A↔B loop on this repo's rooms locally, as the rehearsal for the internet-wide mesh. *Check:* a local two-node transaction completes end-to-end.

## ACCEPTANCE
Take this delegation set as the test: Spec A (reef/intent) signed by Operator-as-node-A, Builder's delivered npx package (reality) signed by Builder-as-node-B → the real ballistic walk produces a signed drift receipt with a σ that says whether Builder built what the spec asked. Respect the competence-walk HARD RULE; that's the whole differentiator.
This is the on-chip drift receipt for commit ac2b60004, the same artifact emailed on commit — published so the claim is verifiable on the open web. Recompute it yourself: npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo.
