Two blind reviews of everything since the last pass (afa0e17), every
finding checked against the code, no behavior changed: all thirty
scene goldens match without a re-bless and the engine suite is
untouched.
Reel and renderer: the camera's look-down rule is stated once, beside
LOOK_DOWN, instead of twice in the effect; the empty aim branch that
stood where a cutaway used to be is gone (the guard it implied is now
explicit); the pit events and the punch are handled by their own
types, not through "in" casts; smoothstep is one export used by every
tween instead of eleven inline copies; the two floor rings share one
painter; project() takes a Billboard instead of a third hand-typed
copy of its fields; the strides-left figure and the web rim no longer
shadow the reel's steps and the pane's fx; the die card's verdict is
built from events, not by matching an emoji; the workshop asks for the
hover cue by name instead of passing an empty click handler.
Server and engine: one requestBase() for the origin, one slug pattern
in store.ts gating both the clip page and its files, one 404 for both;
LOOPBACK sits above its only caller; doCounteract names what a counter
is played against once; fearCells sits beside its own docblock rather
than between sightedCellsFor and its.
Deploy: chromiumExe, the private server, ffmpeg, and the reel rewind
live in deploy/lib/harness.mjs, shared by the gate, the recorder, and
the card cutter instead of pasted three times; the recorder drops its
duplicate frame counters and names its poster settle; the card uses the
gallery's exact gold; the one-time Sentry URL bootstrap leaves
deploy.sh; the backup comment states the rule rather than the incident.

A day of Eric watching the clips as a newcomer would.
The camera can pitch: FirstPerson takes a `pitch` that shears the
horizon up the pane (walls center on it, the eye stays half a wall
high), so the ground at the pane's foot comes within half a cell. The
director uses it for deeds at your own feet — a conjuration on your
square, a treasure taken up, the pit you fell down — instead of the
cutaway that stepped outside your body.
Everything shows through a warp. The floor pass now runs between the
cast and the wall draw, so a column that bent through a mouth maps its
ground through the warp's rigid motion and wears the far room's decals
— the pit past the wormhole included — under the same violet haze as
its walls.
A wizard down a pit is public (inPit on the player view), drawn sunk to
the floor line in first person and dimmed on the board. A body sharing
your square, which had no depth to draw at, stands right in front of
you. A pit leap glides like a shove instead of cutting. And the
director's blocked-sight test no longer counts a warp BEYOND the
target as a block, nor stands a cutaway camera inside another wizard's
square — the pair that put Wanderer's face across the whole pane.
The reel stops for a die: a card over the held world names who rolls
and for what, tumbles the faces on the reel's own clock, lands the
roll, and only then plays the outcome; the beat, the fx, the glides
and the camera all wait it out. A punch by you drives a fist into the
scene; one at you comes at the camera; both land with a comic POW.
film-clips rolls until the reel's last move rather than a fixed count,
and the gate settles longer on a step whose caption rolls a die. All
thirty goldens re-blessed.

Eric's direction: passing through an ordinary warp mouth is a normal
stride. The veil already marks the doorway, and the wizard walks through
it as through any door — no shimmer, no surge, and the eyes carry on
the way they were going instead of turning back to show the mouth. The
surge stays for the moment a wormhole is cast, staged straight from the
warpOpened event through both its new mouths.
The heist's pinned frames re-blessed for it: at the crossing the reel
now looks down the corridor at the enemy's home rather than back
through the mouth.
deploy/film-clips.mjs films the catalog for the gallery — every scene
in both takes, the reel playing under the paused clock at one frame per
40ms, muxed to 25fps mp4s with the first pinned beat as the poster. The
recorder used for the first clip set lived in a session scratchpad and
was lost; this one lives here.
