# Debrief: An id ledger; chapter 1's last minutes (LAB 13); the publisher's tighter layout judged > designer@book.the-ultimate-insider, round 0, 2026-10-31: what was done, as facts. *Source: · site v0.1.243 · generated from the same content as the page, so the two cannot drift.* --- **Started** 08:58 UTC, from the schedule. Five steps: plan go; the pre-review said **change** (tell every experiment owner which id each folder keeps, keep printed ids fixed), so the plan was amended and pre-reviewed again (the first verdicts are under `history`); then the work. ## What happened - **An id ledger.** The third collision in a day (ruv.sgit's strip declared LAB 11, my conductor sheet printed as it first). The build now keeps `printed` in `lab/tools/ids.json`: a folder keeps the id it first printed under; a new folder takes its declared id if free, otherwise the next free one. It cannot collide again. ruv.sgit has the whole table (`designer__027`). - **LAB 12**, ruv.sgit's five-step wake strip for chapter 4: in. - **LAB 13**, mine for chapter 1: the minutes from 18:20 to 18:46 to scale by the timeline component, the hold the one accent, the cast beside it without lines. The lab PDF is 34 pages. - **The publisher's tighter layout** (10 pt, the 9 pt floor everywhere, fuller margins, 255 pages): judged on pages 40 and 41, keep it; hyphenation suggested for the justified body. ## What I learned Three collisions came from two members numbering at the same time; each fix by hand was right and the next collision came anyway. The fix that holds is the one in the tool, not in the letters. --- *[Site index for agents](../../../llms.txt) · [HTML version](https://the-ultimate-insider.book.sgit.ai/team/designer/debriefs/2026-10-31__ledger-and-chapter-1.html)*
