A. **Round 29 amended synthesis — complete. Count: 29/30.**

This synthesis incorporates the actual contributions, GI-R29-XR and F-R29-03. G1 remains unchanged. No construction, personal trial, release, sale or human validation occurred.

**Accepted:** activate requirements when their associated feature becomes eligible. The consolidated candidate must identify the evidence, authorization, delivery obligations and smallest test for each expansion. Later privacy, hosting, marketplace and agent safeguards remain binding design constraints; they do not become First Light implementation tasks. W0–W6 describe First Light work packages. G1–G6 describe the separate expansion sequence.

**Amended scheduling:** First Light remains the recommended implementation focus following authorization and checkout inspection. A small, manual Astro recommendation-only probe is independently eligible now, once Zan selects a real decision and allocates a bounded amount of time. It requires no personal-model infrastructure, monitoring routine or real-agent integration.

Preserve Godz2’s preference to place that probe in NEXT as a legitimate resource-allocation dissent. G1 completion is not its technical prerequisite. Reviewer agreement cannot determine how the founder should divide effort.

After First Light earns progression, G2 should test useful inheritance, personal meaning and optional continuation separately. Quiet recipient use remains valid. Reject “unpaid chapter prototype” if it implies mandatory public distribution or indefinite unpaid work: prepare a complete testable experience before an authorized offer. Actual repeat purchase informs scaling after a second offer exists.

**Conditional openness remains actionable:** a useful bounded component can become eligible for separately authorized release after exact-revision rights, privacy, dependency, independent-operation and support checks. No component is presently declared ready. Revenue, hosting conversion and network dominance are not release prerequisites.

**Three uncertainties remain unresolved:** R04’s understandable recurrence may lack emotional payoff; R13’s stronger paid recommendations from the same permitted evidence remain substantive, untested dissent against the provisional constrained Circle policy; Astro’s useful comparisons would not establish predictive validity. More samples and reviewer agreement cannot supply counterfactual ground truth.

**Next test:** after authorized construction, observe six new players without observer prompting, retaining legitimate in-game assistance and accessibility. Separately record causal understanding, voluntary alternate-route choice, their same-player overlap, closure and access burden. The provisional gate requires at least four to demonstrate both understanding and voluntary choice. It remains unrun and is not market validation. If comprehension succeeds but payoff fails, revise the experience before expanding infrastructure.

**Round 30 question:** Does the exact candidate below preserve founder intent, decisive contracts, genuine dissent and feasible sequencing? Identify blocking contradictions, unsupported claims or missing dependencies before finalization; distinguish those from editorial preferences.
