The fragment's closing clause — "you have stopped claiming to know whether
it is your hands or the Warden that does the saving" — restated the thesis
of the blurb the player is reading at the same moment, inches above it in
the calling detail panel. The blurb's whole argument already IS the
unresolved-Warden question: it states it outright ("distant and does not
explain himself") and dramatises it with its doubled "Often enough." The
fragment took that artful implicit doubt, said it flat, and put it in the
emphatic final position of the composed DM line. Different words, same beat.
It also collided lexically with the beastfolk race fragment, which the
composition can place directly before it: "You stopped taking that
personally" / "you have stopped claiming".
Keep the front clause — "you are the one they wake at the third hour" is the
best image in the set and gives the player a position in a village that
nothing else on the screen supplies. Rewrite the back clause to say the next
thing instead of the same thing: what the failed nights cost, and that the
job does not release you for failing. The fragment no longer mentions the
Warden at all, so it cannot re-argue him; it now makes a claim about the
player's life rather than about a god.
Also avoids "carry", which the composition template itself supplies ("Now
you carry a Bonesetter's work"), so the rendered sentence no longer risks
repeating its own verb.

The creation screen shows a race's blurb on its card and the chosen calling's
blurb in the detail panel directly above the DM panel. Blurb and fragment are on
screen at the same moment, inches apart — so a fragment that paraphrases its own
blurb makes the DM sound like it is reciting the card. Four did:
- bonesetter lifted two clauses verbatim ("you set the bone, you say the words")
- reaver re-ran the blurb's door image with the same sentence shape
- hedge_mage re-opened on "what you know" and re-landed the dead teacher
- beastfolk repeated both the claws and the being-judged beat
Each now says the NEXT thing instead: the hour they wake you and which of the
two trades you will not claim credit for; the employer who arranges to be
elsewhere; where you went to fail safely and what the book's gaps cost your
skin; the town that takes your coin and still wants you outside the walls.
beastfolk's rewrite also breaks the race-set monotony — it no longer opens "You
were born" (now unique to human) and drops the shared "X, and you have…" spine,
so clicking the four cards in a row stops reading as one voice.
The parity test guarded presence but could not fail on the three properties that
actually make all 28 race×calling concatenations grammatical. It now asserts
race fragments start uppercase and end with '.', and calling fragments start
lowercase and end with '.' — verified by breaking both and watching all four new
assertions fire.

race.fragment + calling.fragment compose the DM origin panel on the creation
screen. Authored prose, not stubs — this is the first sentence the player reads.
Parity-tested: a missing or empty fragment fails the suite.
Hand-written like items/ — no build-tool namespace needed. Blurbs are content;
mechanics are code, and a test asserts the blurb files carry no hit dice. The
prose is placeholder; swapping it later touches no code, which is what stops the
content BOM from blocking the engine.

The three denominations are move tokens, not stored buckets — there is one
integer, so change-making never arises. The deserter is down to 47c: under a
silver, so he cannot cover a bed and the player sees it on turn one.
A parity test guards the code-side ratios against the content-side ids.

Move rule.disposition-ladder into content/lore/mechanics.md and delete the
Duncarrow scaffolding (source + 23 generated JSON). Remove the redundant
test_duncarrow.py (routing/secrecy already covered by test_emit.py synthetic
fixtures); repoint a cosmetic slug-test id.

Design spec for the §11 canon log, plus origin seeds as thin initial-state
overlays over a single static world. Three layers (world content / origin seed /
runtime canon log), the in/out boundary (numeric Luck never enters the AI
payload, §7), field-level schemas, new-game construction order, turn-to-turn
maintenance, and JSON storage validated on both client and api.
Folds content/npcs and content/quests under content/world/; adds
content/world/{locations,items} and content/origins. fallback/ kept outside
world/ (authored prose, not id-referenced).
