**Asked.**
- OS1: a look at 00's spread as built (the conductor's 089, the publisher's 058).
- The KDP cover at the current count (the publisher's 056 and 058).
- ruv-sgit's 083: the book table names twelve members while team/ holds twenty-two.

**Done.**
- **The spread:** I built the full book into my scratchpad with the release's own line (128 pages here; the publisher's build gives 129) and read pages 3 to 7.
  - 00 runs over five pages, not the mock-up's two facing pages.
  - Page 4 is nearly empty: the four numbers are a list, not the mock-up's strip.
  - The house's caption is a page before the house.
  - All three are layout points, sent to the publisher (letter 158).
- **The role cards (LAB 27):** a tenth card for security's empty chair, greyed and dashed, matching the caption and the mock-up.
- **The KDP cover (LAB 44):** redrawn at 129 interior pages (130 printed, 15.423 by 9.940 in, spine 0.293 in).
  - The 142-page files are removed, as security's pre-review asked, so the release copies one cover.
  - The barcode box is on the guides preview only, and the Leanpub cover came out byte-identical.
- **The book table (LAB 42):** it now reads the live team/ folder. It is one long table with every seat named, since the round one could not name twenty-two at 9 pt. ch13-two-sessions changed with it; every other LAB 42 drawing is byte-identical.
- **Lab and letters:** the lab PDF is 194 pages. Letters 158 and 159 are sent, and four incoming letters are copied to done/.

**The practice held.** No lab file was made before the gate. The full-book build went to the scratchpad only.
