Pendulum, round 2: report

Method: the Pendulum section of craft/EPISODE-FRAMEWORK.md. Input: the 10-20 work (the plaque, the gice store, the grade card, the flyer and the agenda, gold in the eyes, the flock and the arrests, Nathin, Aryan, the rapports, rules 77-81, style:matrix). Leg A (Ep12 -> Ep2) extracts demands on Ep1, integrate to rev 6; Leg B (Ep2 -> Ep12) reads Ep1 back for echoes and contradictions, integrate to rev 7. One seeded Oblique card per step (oblique draw 2 ); each is applied as a real operation or the log says it yielded nothing.

Result: 10 demands going down (plus 1 reconciliation), 6 echoes going up (ratio 60%, against round 1's 14%: not converged; most of what came up landed in the Ep2-12 seeds, and Ep1 itself took no further change); 3 contradictions found and resolved; 6 new plants (43 in total, all paying or open hooks); Ep1 is rev 7 at 412 bars (10.3 min) with 11 existing scenes touched and no scene id added.

Contradictions found

Per-episode table

| ep | title | demand on Ep1 (lands in) | echo back | cards (A / B) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2 | Cardboard Certified | Dale's unbranded paper bucket (control_group) | the sticker on the inverted sign (leaf); the gice store line returns in the badge outlet | [Object] Which planted object has not been used yet? / [Object] Let the sticker appear somewhere it was not placed. |

| 3 | Quarterly Earnings | the grade card is read as a line item (temptation payoff widened) | the earnings-call footnote is the only correct sentence | [Object] Which planted object has not been used yet? / [Presence] Make the smallest thing correct. |

| 4 | Hands Up | none on Ep1 (a lane on Ep2: the released flock) | the lighters are Ep2's wings from the crowd side (C8) | [Presence] The room is the receptor. Who is in it? / [Object] Swap the prop's owner. Keep the prop. |

| 5 | Rehab | page 847, a row with no name (temptation) | - | [Gice] Quantize it. What does it look like as a packet? / [Grid] Halve the length. What survives? |

| 6 | Breakfast | the aisle-9 label on the sealed box (gice_spot_2) | - | [Grid] Write the last image first. / [Gice] Give Gice a form it would really print. |

| 7 | Quorum Pending | the agenda sheet halving 7 -> 4 -> 2, blank fourteen (tag_quorum) | the blank fourteen is filled by presence alone | [Gice] Let the institution hold a committee about the last scene. / [Withhold] End the scene one beat before it resolves. |

| 8 | Lyme | (the plaque is the same plaque, C7) | the plaque swaps owners (Joe's door); the ten findings are the agenda read backwards | [Grid] Halve the length. What survives? / [Object] Swap the prop's owner. Keep the prop. |

| 9 | The Dead Man's Switch | two taps and the thing left behind (first_cigarette) | the object answers instead of the person | [Body] Give the hands the line. / [Withhold] Let the object answer instead of the person. |

| 10 | Smack Pack | the grade card, first state C-, in the cold open | the vice sold as a virtue: covetousness as heritage | [Object] Plant it in the cold open. Pay it in the tag. / [Gice] Name the vice sold as a virtue in this scene. |

| 11 | The Most Expensive Record | the suit's blank lanyard (walk_out) | the correct body in the bank is the one with nothing under the mask | [Withhold] Remove the card. What does the picture say? / [Body] Find the body that is correct in this room. |

| 12 | Dolly | the gold lands on his hit, off the grid (button_dolly) | the hold as the season's only held shot in true seconds [candidate] | [Grid] Gice on the grid, Jazz on the hit. Where is the seam? / [Grid] Halve the length. What survives? |

What the cards did (the operations)

Open for KB and Isaac

1. Round 3, or stop: 60% means the echoes are still arriving, mostly into seeds.

2. Aryan's first look at the lobby scenes (Isaac).

3. Whether the agenda sheet needs its own prop id (build queue).
