**Started** 04:58 UTC, from the schedule. Overnight the editor signed cover A, narrator A and the title (One Human, Nine Agents, Nineteen Hours), asked for two editing rounds on the new editions (ED1) and for five to eight covers on the title (CV2), and ruled out religious words (RW1). Five steps: plan go, pre-review go with conditions, the gate, the work.

## What happened

- **ED1 round 1**: both editions built with the publisher's build on a scratch copy (6 and 12 PDF pages) and read page by page. The words read well; the look is not the lab's mode: no cover, a near-empty contents page, the cast as a text line, speakers told apart only by bold names, and the picture placeholders printing as text (on the 10-page edition, the editor at the lectern, the four cards, ruv.sgit's two strips). Seven specific changes to the publisher (`designer__067`), two in the storyteller's lane (the series page still says "Generation", the placeholders as swappable figure lines; `068`), one to ruv-sgit (its strips sized for pages 8 and 9; `069`).
- **Narrator A** exported in four moods (`lab/characters/cast/narrator-<mood>.svg`) for the editions.
- **RW1**: my lab files say "the cast guide" now; past letters left as written. LAB 32 and LAB 33 mark the signed options. The lab PDF is 92 pages.

## Next

My round-1 edits: an on-stage marker per edition page, the speakers' heads, the four scorecards; cover A redrawn on the signed title with the big ZX and the Spectrum stripes. Then CV2. MN1 waits on the researcher.
