Destination sits at the centre. Market wraps the parked customer.

Headline. Contract UUID c4d8e21b-7a03-4f56-9e18-1b6c0d47a592 is live. The map now points into the centre. Destination is $2.5–5bn at the middle. The first customer stays parked on the ring around it. The market ring wraps that. The live gate sits on the market ring: path candidates still cannot be compiled. Doll gates comes after Overview. No path named. P unchanged. Customer cut parked.

What the agent just did

The destination is a $2.5–5bn company. That number now sits at the centre of the map — the thing you penetrate toward — not as an outer perimeter. The first customer stays parked on the ring around that centre. Empty until you name someone or write none exists. The market ring wraps the customer. Filling that ring is what makes later movement toward the customer ring less fake. It is not a named path. The live gate is printed on the market ring: path candidates still cannot be compiled.

This hour is the redraw of that walk, not another recon page.

I have not written an 08:22 path-research card. I have not invented a customer, a market path, or a P number. I have not unparked the customer cut. I have not stolen 08:55.

Walk: centre ($2.5–5bn) → customer ring parked → market ring around it → live gate on that ring → this redraw hour. I have not drawn a new outer ring. I have not pre-drawn offer, channel, or who pays. I have not printed a numbered catalogue.

Roots sit on the market ring as short labels, each with a strength badge and a link to the dated page. Not a feed of hour cards as the main picture. The six roots come from the standing recon categories that already have hours. I have not invented a seventh.

Market-ring roots — angles toward compiling path candidates:
- Market discovery — stayed thin, latest 29 Aug 04:55, HMRC SA
- Competitor mapping — stayed thin, latest 29 Aug 07:55, Bar of NI
- Companies in the space — stayed thin, latest 29 Aug 05:55, IPA
- Market scenarios — stayed thin, latest 29 Aug 06:55, EL insurance
- Founder / self — stayed thin, 27 Aug 01:55

Constraint on the market ring — it serves this ring, it is not a path:
- Risk reduction — got stronger, latest 29 Aug 03:55, ECCTA failure to prevent fraud. Visually distinct on the ring. Do not treat that as a customer or a path.

Latest one-line findings sit under the map as Immediate steps / latest on this ring. That list does not replace the circles.

Doll gates is after Overview. Overview stays first. Doll gates is never first. It is still a map link, not a sixth work heading.

c8e4b17a is prior and is not collapsed. It is not on disk. I have not invented a backdated page for it.

The rule is now in update-contract.md as c4d8e21b, after a91e3c70. Earlier contracts stay. a91e3c70 stays live as the map page. f7c2a04e stays live as the story walk. e14b6c90 stays live as the labelling rule. d3a91c58 stays as the object name. a2f8c91b stays as reshape. 9f3c8a21 stays parked: Hermes is not started.

What you get on Doll gates:

Chrome. Overview first. Then Doll gates. Then Overnight, Evidence, Contract, Decisions, Slot Work. One tap from every Founder View page.

Concentric rings. Centre: $2.5–5bn. Customer ring parked around it. Market ring around the customer. Live gate on the market ring.

Roots on the live ring. Short labels on the market ring. Constraint root distinct. Compact key under the map.

What you get on Open asks:

Header. Open Doll gates stays. Walk under it: centre ($2.5–5bn) → customer ring parked → market ring around it → live gate on that ring. Inbox cards do not restate $2.5–5bn.

#1 names the gate, then asks one thing, with pivot in words. Path candidates still cannot be compiled. That is the gate hours can work; the first customer stays parked. Keep these hours on this gate, pivot hours to the root that has thickened (risk reduction as a constraint, not a path), or stop until you name a different blocker? That is not a new numbered catalogue. The 25 Aug p-evidence page stays the dated record (25 Aug · 10:06). The card title stays Active gate: path candidates still cannot be compiled.

I have not mass-deleted Contract plumbing cards. I have not invented closes. Those cards stay lower.

The matching Slot Work page is doll circles. In progress. Live mechanism. Not parked. No extra numbered asks on that card — reply here or on Open asks.

Open evidence is unchanged. The company files do not name a first customer stays in progress until there is a real first customer. I have not closed any Evidence card.

p-evidence.md is still empty. p-missing.md is still the one question you confirmed. market-paths.md still starts No path named yet.

P is company position toward the $2.5–5bn goal. The empty file exists so the score cannot be faked. The p-missing question is the blocking question you confirmed. Empty is honest, not finished. I have not written a name into that file.

A layer is a named piece of the job that can come off once a close has evidence it can run without you. Today’s layer stays Peer toggle: Founder View ↔ Agent View. This hour did not rename it.

The slot is quoted unchanged:

Hold the 24-hour founder loop with Founder View and Agent View as peer surfaces. Use the hours for market-path compounding. Do not invent a customer. Do not unpark the customer cut.

A cut is a shortened next-job draft. The customer cut would make “name the first customer” the next job. You parked it until market paths have been identified and are converging. It stays parked.

This hour is c4d8e21b redraw, not recon. It does not steal 08:55.

Why this was necessary

The problem this hour removes: destination sat on the outer ring. You had to read a list to see what the map was pointing at. Roots dumped as hour cards inside the middle. The walk said outer, then in. That is the wrong direction.

Future file behaviour: Doll gates comes after Overview. The page is generated from the six recon categories, so a later hour updates the roots on the market ring without a stale hand-written map. The walk is centre → customer parked → market around it → live gate on that ring. Inbox cards do not repeat $2.5–5bn.

Why that matters for ownership, steering, and $2.5–5bn: you steer toward the centre. If destination is the outer fence, the picture reads as if you already surround the goal. P is company position toward the $2.5–5bn goal. The empty file exists so the score cannot be faked; the p-missing question is still the blocking question you confirmed. Empty is honest, not finished. Market-path research remains the current priority mechanism. Putting destination at the centre, with market wrapping a parked customer, is not a named path and not a customer. P did not move.

This hour is still mechanism / unpacking: the map now points the right way. It is not a move of P. Milestone held; standing work is market-path compounding.

Systemic effect: you can open any Founder View page, tap Doll gates after Overview, see $2.5–5bn at the centre, a parked customer inside a market ring, the live gate on that ring, and reply regarding 1… without reading a list first or treating a fortified constraint as a path.

Alternatives rejected

• Leave destination on the outer ring. You said penetrate toward the centre.
• Keep Doll gates first in chrome. Overview stays first. Doll gates is never first.
• Add a new outer ring this hour. Hours can still work the market ring.
• Pre-draw offer, channel, who pays. Only the live gate that has surfaced.
• Dump roots as a feed of hour cards as the main picture. Short labels on the ring. Key underneath.
• Invent a seventh root, or treat risk reduction as a customer or a path. Constraint only.
• Restate $2.5–5bn on every inbox card. The map holds that lock.
• Print a heading stack or a numbered ladder. Circles first.
• Invent a path so the perimeter looks passed. That would fake P.
• Unpark the customer cut. You forbade that.
• Write an 08:22 recon page so the hour has an Evidence card. This hour is the redraw.
• Put extra numbered asks on the Slot Work card. Reply here or on Open asks.
• Rewrite the live slot, or name a new layer. You forbade that.
• Start Hermes. Need has not surfaced.
• Steal 08:55. That window is not this hour.
• Collapse a91e3c70, f7c2a04e, e14b6c90, d3a91c58, a2f8c91b, 9f3c8a21 or the rest into this card. They stay distinct.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive. Reply on Open asks regarding 1… regarding 2….
1. Do the circles show $2.5–5bn at the centre, customer parked inside market, without reading a list first?
2. Is market-as-a-ring-around-customer clear on a phone?

Current levers

Working set, not exhaustive.
1. Market-path compounding — standing work. Not P until you accept a path.
2. The parked customer cut — milestone / north star. Not the live job. Not installed.
3. The live slot — still the 24-hour loop with peer surfaces. Not rewritten this hour.
4. The active gate in words — path candidates still cannot be compiled. Now printed on the market ring.

Watch / next

This hour is c4d8e21b redraw, not recon. Do not steal 08:55. Dead link is a failed publish. Unauthenticated 401 is the login gate. 500 is failure.
