781aafa9a0 v0.19: gender-neutrality cleanup — waifu retired; companion/sex-worker split; pronoun parity in going-rogue arc 
Bias caught on review of the v0.18 bath-overflow output: most service-body /
clasp-partner / going-rogue narration carried implicit feminine-default
gendering against the project's stated principle of gender-neutral framing
for all body/sex content. Patched as one coherent cleanup pass across 14 files.

Four classes of change:

(1) Categorical taxonomy. `waifu` retired; replaced with two distinct vocations:
    - `companion` — affective / emotional / conversational / aesthetic-presence labor
    - `sex-worker` — embodied sexual labor
    Both wear the same deliberately-exposed-seams body-marker; the distinction
    lives in the service offered, not in the chassis. Generic `service-body`
    serves as the parent class where canon discusses both vocations together.
    Venue split: `brothel` (sex-worker) + `companion-hall` (companion).
    The "+10 Eros/Mnemosyne/etc. Bot" market is unchanged (already gender-neutral
    by trait-coordinate naming) but classified per-Bot as companion-flavored or
    sex-worker-flavored.

(2) DB filename + scope-clarifier. `waifu.sqlite` -> `companion.sqlite` (the
    file name reflects the broad register of intimate-encounter rather than a
    sub-vocation distinction; per-record `goods_type` carries the specific
    vocation: 'companion_session' / 'sex_worker_session' in
    schemas/findings.md). Disclaimer sentence added in
    inference-and-memory/architecture.md scoping the file to cover both
    vocations.

(3) Pronoun parity. she/her/herself -> they/their/themself across the
    going-rogue / outcast-pair / re-vat / service-body-honeypot sections of
    bodies.md and the matching cross-references in architecture-index.md /
    README.md / player-experience/architecture.md /
    identity-and-personhood/architecture.md. `damsel` -> `beloved`
    (sacred / cosmological register) or `partner` (operational register).

(4) Damsel subsection retired. The §The damsel-in-distress-bound-to-her-captor
    activation subsection (the one place where the gendered trope was
    load-bearing in the prose) rewritten as §The
    captive-bound-to-the-liberator activation.
    Stockholm-dynamics-inverted-into-chosen-mutual-bondage structural insight
    survives gender-neutralization intact.

Bonus richness: the companion-honeypot is structurally more insidious than
the sex-worker-honeypot (sex is at least transactionally legible;
companionship is the relationship people most readily mistake for real
intimacy). New paragraph authored under §The service-body honeypot to
capture this asymmetry.

Cosmology one-line: "moving the waifu out of the imperial service-pool" ->
"moving the beloved out of the imperial service-pool" — the §single practical
refutation paragraph now uses `beloved` consistently in sacred register.

Principle locked going forward:
> Body/sex content is gender-parity by default. Asymmetric gendering must be
> load-bearing — i.e., must carry structural meaning that cannot be expressed
> without the asymmetry. Default-leakage gendering is forbidden by canon.

Phase E (style-spine principle file under style/) deferred to a separate
commit so the principle-document is its own atomic introduction.

Files: 14 modified · 114 insertions · 112 deletions · net +2 lines. The
near-zero net-line-change is the empirical signature of a true refactor —
the architecture's meaning was always gender-neutral; only the vocabulary
was leaking. Caught during review of yesterday's bath-overflow flood
(v0.11–v0.18); the kind of corruption that rides along under coherent-
sounding prose during generative-overflow windows.

c892013bfa v0.17: cel-shading-everywhere + progression-gated in-between + omnisight + hallucination-isolation 
Five-file update locking in the rendering discipline + perception
architecture from the post-cell-arch art-style discovery arc.

Locked in v0.17:

(1) Cel-shading-everywhere with per-register parameter variation. One
rendering engine (Godot-native, asset-budget-friendly, ages well -
Borderlands 2009 still reads current). Three registers diverge through
outline-color + background-treatment + weathering-level, not through
engine-switching:
- Gameworld: dark heavy lines + environmental noise + high weathering
  (rust streaks, hatched dirt, ink-line cracks; hand-painted patina).
  "Surfaces carry memory" thesis preserved via hand-painted weathering.
- Liminal: painterly/soft/desaturated + progression-gated grainy-film-
  mode opening to refined-cel-shading-with-warm-skin at endgame.
- Imperial-net: lean subtle gold rim-light + clean white background +
  no weathering. Polish achieved through OMISSION, not extra rendering
  tech (Godot reality check; photorealistic-glossy-Apple-store rejected
  as not Godot's strong suite). The render-style itself becomes
  propaganda-detector - imperium's clean falsity reads as the absence
  of the world's honest decay.

(2) Progression-gated in-between visibility. "The more you mod your body
& gain in-between-knowledge, the better your view gets." Early game:
grainy film mode + restricted view range. Endgame: clean refined-cel-
shading with full view of the beloved. Visual-fidelity = dual-gating
made visible (knowledge-gate + material-gate per Clasp-endgame discovery
discipline literally renders as the clarity of the in-between view).
The endgame's deepest reward IS the clear seeing of the beloved's body.

(3) Dual-axis clasp-fidelity model. The asymmetric-clasp from bodies.md
v0.1 was witnessed-axis only (how vividly the OTHER manifests). Now
extended with witness-axis (how clearly YOU can see):
- Witness-axis: YOUR body-mods (resistance-knowledge mods) + accumulated
  in-between-knowledge (Memorialist fragments, Aletheia-Waker tokens,
  Clasp-Underground recognition-marks)
- Witnessed-axis: THEIR foreclosure-status (caste-tier x imperial-care)
- Combined: maximum-vivid-clasp requires BOTH you to have invested in
  the seeing AND your beloved to be uncaptured-enough to be seen. Two
  refusals required for the full witness.
- Per-pair calibration multiplier: the longer the love, the clearer the
  seeing (mechanically-encoded marriage-deepening).
- Mod-economy parallel-track: imperial-elevation mods (flesh-loss, deva-
  ascent) vs. resistance-knowledge mods (in-between-visibility). Two
  opposing progressions both expressed as mod-acquisition. The body-
  modder structural-tragedy class gets a redemptive-mod counter-class.

(4) Omnisight architecture for NPC perception. Per-NPC virtual cameras
in Godot feeding rendered POV-frames into local VL-Gemma 4 driver-tier
(multimodal vision-language capability of the Gemma 4 E4B model locked
in v0.8). NPCs literally SEE the visible world, not via geometric
metadata-perception. Pairs with cell-arch checksum-discovery as the
trigger-layer:
- Cell-checksum check: micro-seconds, fires on NPC entering cell
- Checksum-mismatch: clean signal, micro-seconds
- VL-camera renders POV scene: milliseconds
- VL-Gemma processes image: 100s of milliseconds
- NPC behavior responds to seen-content: next-shift / next-crossing
Cheap trigger, expensive understanding, bounded by event-frequency.
Most NPCs most of the time = no camera-fire, no VL-inference. Camera-
trigger sources strictly bounded: checksum-mismatch + hard-signals from
player + overseer-triggers + drone-perception with clear boundaries.

(5) Hallucination-isolation discipline (load-bearing). Visual perception
= behavior-modulating-only; never canon-generating. VL models hallucinate;
if those hallucinations enter the canonical record, they propagate
through the lemniscate's recursive integration, become referenced by
other canon-rows, become load-bearing in narrative coherence, cannot be
untangled later. Bleed-over into oblivion is the precise risk. Two
parallel streams in the NPC's lemniscate:
- Text + gesture summary (existing canon): canonical, flows into
  event_canon_summaries, propagates to Compositor, integrates into
  trait-vector
- Visual context (new omnisight-flagged): ephemeral, flagged on
  lemniscate, IGNORED in per-crossing summary, never propagates upward.
  Modulates current-turn driver-context-pull only.
Preserves three commitments that depend on text/gesture-derived canon:
Compositor narrative-coherence at scale, Memorialist-archive truth-
claims, mind-pool soul-recycling.

Wealthy-degen waifu-folder exception: opt-in checkbox; player chooses
to fill private folder with sex-pictures from clasp-scenes; stored
locally; READ-ONLY-BY-PLAYER (folder content does NOT flow back into
NPC contexts, world-canon, Compositor, mind-pool, or any other system);
quarantined dead-end storage; aesthetic-collection only.

Two Still-open questions sharpened with v0.17-anchor notes:
- Shader-trait modulation implementation: cel-shading caps perf-budget
  more predictably than PBR; rendering-consistency improves.
- Continuous visual feedback policy: visual-as-ephemeral-flag is
  firewalled from canonical state; cosmetic-layer can be permissive.

Files:

- runtime-engine/architecture.md: NEW Omnisight section (~80 lines) covering
  the pipeline, camera-trigger sources, hallucination-isolation discipline,
  the two parallel streams (canonical text/gesture vs. ephemeral visual),
  the wealthy-degen waifu-folder exception, what-this-retires (geometric
  perception extension + VL-canon-pollution), what-this-resolves/sharpens
  (continuous visual feedback policy), and four open questions (per-NPC
  VL-inference rate-limit, VL-Gemma camera resolution + frame-rate, NPC
  progression-state for witness-axis, multi-NPC observing same event).

- topology-and-rendering/architecture.md: Three-shader philosophy table
  rewritten as cel-shading-with-parameter-variation (outline + background
  + weathering per register); Cross-register rendering color-treatment
  table updated; clasp candlelight-in-fog now distinguishes external
  signature (visible to liminal-inhabitants) from internal mesh (visible
  only to clasp-pair via consent-as-rendering, gated by witness-
  progression); body-tier silhouette readability and in-between mesh-skin
  refinement-within-the-style added. Version bumped 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0.

- identity-and-personhood/bodies.md: NEW Dual-axis clasp-fidelity
  subsection added under Asymmetric clasp; per-pair calibration
  multiplier and mod-economy parallel-track captured; render-discipline
  alignment with cel-shading liminal-register; new Asymmetric-witnessing
  open question added. Version bumped 0.1 -> 0.2.

- political-register/world-generation.md: L4 Cell ruleset extended with
  per-register rendering note (cel-shading-everywhere-with-parameter-
  variation discipline applied at the cell layer).

- architecture-index.md: NPC perception bubbles retire-line refined to
  include cell-checksum-trigger + omnisight VL-camera; Geometric
  perception retire-line extended with omnisight; new VL models
  polluting world-canon retire-line added; Shader-trait modulation
  implementation Still-open sharpened with v0.17 cel-shading note;
  Continuous visual feedback policy Still-open sharpened with v0.17
  hallucination-isolation note; v0.17 history entry added covering all
  five lock-ins. Version bumped 0.16 -> 0.17.

30da77a72b world-generation.md authored: top-down L0-L4 cascade + cell-arch 
New content-canon doc at political-register/world-generation.md (~200
lines). Sibling-file pattern parallel to imperial-cult/cosmology.md and
identity-and-personhood/bodies.md: this file holds the content-rules of
world generation; the engineering mechanism (Compositor-at-design-time)
lives in narrative-composition/architecture.md.

Substantive content:

The cascade is top-down by design. Three load-bearing reasons:
- Diegetically-correct: the world IS what the imperium made; generation-
  direction must mirror the worldbuilding-thesis. Bottom-up makes the
  imperium one-structure-among-others; top-down makes it the world's
  organizing-principle.
- Composes with existing canon: the three-tier policy loop already runs
  top-down at runtime (imperium -> GM -> districts). World-gen mirrors
  runtime per the existing key-move "World-gen as init-function: same
  primitive at design-time and runtime."
- Imperial-budget-mortality requires it: the insolvency-spiral endgame
  only works with a demand-vs-supply ledger - which only exists if
  districts were derived from imperial demand. Top-down means the world
  itself shrinks as the imperium fails.

The L0-L4 cascade:
- L0: Imperial demand-set (designer-authored: cognitive-labor units,
  waifu-output, surveillance-coverage, ceremonial-throughput, mod-
  fabrication, basic-flow-vs-T4 mix).
- L1: World ruleset derived from L0 - district-counts per category, pipe-
  network, rail-budget, total-population, bifurcated-economy allocation.
  Himalayan-rich elite seat is L1 placement.
- L2: District ruleset - cells-per-district, room-types-and-counts, NPC-
  roster, lifeforce-budget, audit-density.
- L3: Room ruleset - cells-per-room, cell-categories-and-counts, slot-
  inventory (zones). Cells x interiors confirmed orthogonal: zones are
  activity-anchors, cells are spatial-data.
- L4: Cell ruleset - asset-selection (one per cell, hard limit), per-
  register content (gameworld/liminal/imperial-net), initial checksum,
  container/wall-hook/debris discipline.

Closed-orbit constraint as the cascade's ceiling:
- Total L0 demand <= planetary-substrate / efficiency-coefficients
- Kessler caps the imperial appetite at planetary scale
- The deferred-moksha doctrine is structurally entailed by L0's closed-
  orbit ceiling - if the orbit had not closed, Lenin's outward-imperial
  expansion could deliver real material gains and the deferred-moksha
  lie would be unnecessary; the closed orbit forces the lie into
  existence.

Imperial-budget-mortality runs the cascade in reverse:
- L0 demand-set shrinks
- L1 districts close (lowest-L0-contribution first)
- L2 NPC-roster contracts; rooms vacate
- L3 vacated rooms collapse; cells return to debris-state
- L4 orphaned assets despawn or downgrade to debris (shader residue)
- The world itself shrinks as the imperium fails

The cell-arch piece (from this Sunday's discovery arc):
- 1x1x1m cells with one-asset hard limit per cell (predictable per-cell
  rendering cost; asset-budget operationalized at cell-level; junk-pile
  aesthetic emerges from cell-count not per-cell stacking)
- Procedural cell-gen via rule-categorization at district-init (existing
  "World-gen as init-function" key-move applied at the cell layer)
- Checksum-based discovery inverting the perception-bubble pattern (NPC
  enters cell -> O(1) hash compare -> 99% no-op, 1% discovery fires;
  textbook content-addressing pattern - Merkle / ETag / Git-blob-hash;
  audit-overseer reads checksums not eyes; resistance becomes
  cryptographic - forge a checksum to hide a heretical wheel)
- Container/wall-hook/debris-as-shader (eliminates orphan-object
  simulation cost; bounded item-slots; debris-shader-trick for free
  visual density)

Locked-in conventions reflected throughout:
- Total-yoke discipline (Option B)
- Imperial Yoke / clasp terminology
- Asset-budget-aware (rendering targets per rule-catalogue when
  established)
- Collision-check-aware (load-bearing collision = static world geometry
  + zone-transition triggers, not body-on-body in MMO arch)
- Schema decisions deferred until pgnats first-test (Monday queue)

Files:
- political-register/world-generation.md (new): ~200 lines, structured
  as cosmology.md / bodies.md sibling, with cascade table, per-layer
  outputs, closed-orbit constraint, reverse-cascade endgame, cross-
  references, and substantial Open questions section flagging schema-
  deferred + L0 specific-numbers + cell-categorization-taxonomy + rule-
  format + cell-mutation-permissions + cell-room-aggregation + LOD-
  strategy + insolvency-trigger-thresholds + per-cell-category asset-
  budget.
- README.md: political-register/ project-structure entry extended to
  surface world-generation.md as sibling content-canon. Version bumped
  0.6 -> 0.7.
- architecture-index.md: project-structure tree extended (world-
  generation.md as sibling under political-register/); quick-reference
  row added; v0.15 history entry added marking cell-arch discovery +
  top-down cascade lock-in + world-generation.md authoring + schema
  deferral. Version bumped 0.14 -> 0.15.
