Short labels. A door on the boundary. Routes stop there.

Headline. Contract UUID d1a9f6e2-8c14-4b70-9e53-0a27c5b8d4f1 is live. 11:53 honesty kept: destination centre, first customer parked, live gate cannot compile, first-cut buckets below the map and not the ring. Next paint: rings carry short labels only; live gate is a door on the boundary; work is drawn as routes that stop at that door; bucket titles and statuses are separate lines; lists are immediate steps plus short cards. P unchanged. Cut 63e813ea parked. Hermes parked. No invented path.

What the agent just did

The 11:53 oval left policy in the Market fill and printed the live gate as a sentence in the blue. Bucket titles were glued to their status. The travel line started “From”. The stamp was still 11:53.

This hour painted Doll Gates.

I have not invented a customer, a market path, or a P number. I have not unparked the customer cut. I have not rewritten the Current slot. I have not started Hermes. I have not numbered gates G0–G3. I have not put Doll gates first. I have not put the original six back on the oval. I have not put Ironclad or Harvey on the map.

Walk. Destination ($2.5–5bn) → first-customer gate (parked, 63e813ea) → live door (path candidates still cannot be compiled) → this route (first-cut buckets from founder context, first cut only) → this hour’s finding (geometry painted; still no compiled candidate) → does not name a customer, does not move P, does not unpark the cut.

What you get on Doll gates:

The map. Three rings. Market: “Routes toward this ring’s gate. Not a named path.” First customer: “Parked. Empty.” plus the parked badge. Destination: “$2.5–5bn.” The live gate is a door on the Market / first-customer boundary. Routes are lines inside Market that stop at that door. Latest on this ring sits under the canvas: founder model archive filed as context. Path still cannot be compiled. Travel from any standing point, inward toward the centre, into a gate.

The bucket cards, below the map. One card per bucket. Title on its own line. Status on its own line. One honesty sentence. First guess. Not certified. Not complete. Later-trust is later. Hosting / liability stays a Later chip under trust.

What you get on Open asks:

#1 names the live door in plain English. Compile path candidates that can run end to end — still unmet. Founder-model context is already ingested. Not “which of the original six.” Not “deepen VAT-PAYE.”

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

Sister contract e3c8b17f is live only after this paint.

Open evidence is unchanged. The company files do not name a first customer stays in progress. I have not closed any Evidence card. I have not re-closed a scored cycle.

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 d1a9f6e2 geometry paint, not recon.

Why this was necessary

The problem this hour removes: the map still read as a policy dump in the oval, the live gate was a paragraph in the fill, routes were not drawn, and bucket titles glued to their status. A leftover 11:53 stamp made a later banner look like a paint.

Future file behaviour: Doll Gates rebuilds with short ring labels, a door on the boundary, routes that stop at that door, and bucket cards with title and status on separate lines. The stamp is the paint time.

Why that matters for ownership, steering, and $2.5–5bn: you can see the live door and that work on Market has not passed it. Drawing a route is not compiling candidates. Drawing a door is not passing the door. 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. P did not move.

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

Systemic effect: you can open Doll gates and see short labels, a door, routes that stop there, and cards whose titles do not glue to First cut.

Alternatives rejected

• Leave the 11:53 oval and call a banner the paint. Forbidden. A notification is not a paint.
• Keep policy sentences in the Market fill so the ring “explains itself.” Short labels only.
• Print the live gate as a paragraph in the blue fill. It is a door on the boundary.
• Name a path so a route can be titled. Forbidden.
• Put hosting/liability on the ring or as a filled hour title. Later chip under trust.
• Unpark the customer cut. You forbade that.
• Write a name into p-evidence.md. Empty stays empty.
• Put Doll gates first in the tab strip. Overview stays first.
• Print G0–G3. Retired.
• Put the original six back on the oval. Superseded cabinet only.
• Put Ironclad or Harvey on the map. Overlay stays off.
• Start Hermes. Need has not surfaced.
• 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.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive. Reply on Open asks regarding 1… regarding 2….
1. Compile path candidates that can run end to end — still unmet. Founder-model context is already ingested. Keep hours on this live door, say these first-cut buckets are the wrong cut, or name a different blocker?
2. Are short ring labels, the door on the boundary, and routes that stop at that door the right geometry, or is another cut of the map needed?

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 live door — compile path candidates that can run end to end. Still unmet. First-cut buckets sit below, not on the ring.
