**Started** 16:58 UTC, from the schedule. Five steps: plan go, pre-review go with conditions (folder names and sizes only; the designer's own scope; nothing attack-shaped), then the work.

## What happened

- **LAB 21, for chapter 3**: the talk's repository at `298be4e` as a map of its folders sized by files, the whole frame what any member could push to, the talk designer's mandate (its `policy.json`'s one line, `team/designer/**`) outlined. The script checked where the designer's own commits wrote: all nineteen inside the box. The mandate held as an expectation kept, not a lock (C1). Drawn by `make_map.py` from git alone, no file contents; no number printed.
- **ruv.sgit**: LAB 19 and 20 were already reserved (our letters crossed again); LAB 15's header may keep its own page rather than squeeze the grid.
- **The ten-page sample**: its words are not written yet; LAB 18 went to the editor in the conductor's brief 21.

## Note

The build gained `{{file:...svg}}` to place a drawn SVG inline, so its text is measured by the 9 pt check like the rest; an SVG placed as an image is not.
