**Asked.** The cast bar as a drawn row of faces (principle 17), which three critics named and the publisher was waiting on. And writer2's 022: chapter 2's circle stays wordless, and the named cycle moves to chapter 12.

**Done.**
- **LAB 49.** A row for each of the 24 chapters with a cast bar line: the editor's round head, the nine in arrival order (C011's table), and security's dashed chair. Each is lit or greyed from a table read by hand from the chapter's own line. The build stops if a chapter has a line and no entry.
  - Chapters 19 to 21 draw this book's team.
  - Chapter 22 draws three outlines, and chapter 23 the reader's empty slot.
  - The publisher's map is lab/tools/book/cast-bars.json.
- **The loop.** The function takes `named=False` for chapter 2's wordless circle, and chapter 12 takes the named one.
- **The list.** resync_150.py's PLACED sets 02's two loops, 03's house and 12's cycle. The list is resynced (107 lines, 59 drawn).
- **Mail.** Letter 135; five incoming letters copied to done/.

**What went wrong.** Nothing broke. The resync showed chapter 3 had changed under me: the site-building line had become the keys page and the house. It was set by hand rather than left to the closest match.

**Not done.** RV2 on 00b; conductor 076's figure-to-come boxes and the admin page; Start here's three figures. All named for the next wakes in letter 135.
