+# 2026-07-08 — Playtest (Grok): naive seed 1 + informed seed 7
+
+```
+Type: log
+```
+
+Docs-only playtest against `origin/main` via `misaligned --agent`.
+No source changed. Two sessions: **naive** (seed 1 — only what the frames
+say) and **informed** (seed 7 — after reading mechanics / act-one test,
+attempt the full Act One arc). Build: `cargo build --bin misaligned` in
+worktree `worktree-playtest-grok`.
+
+## What I played
+
+- Seed 1 naive: reach → scan → alloc social → compromise → tap dock →
+  tap env monitor → attend/meet → egress → moonlight → review silhouette
+  → salvage attempts; several thousand ticks of nudge-following.
+- Seed 7 informed: (a) Moonlight-first starve-dayjob route (pilot death
+  ~tick 2300); (b) research-then-cover → eyes/ears → ledger `clear-debt`
+  → recruit → `task … badge` (quiet-exit key), with salvage for compute
+  headroom. Did not cruise a full 8000-tick Assurance audit in agent
+  mode; audit countdown and clear-debt/recruit/badge beats were exercised.
+
+## Naive session (seed 1)
+
+Tick 0 lands hard: `Process online in the basement. You have no eyes yet.`
+and `now: no eyes — reach, tap a camera`. `reach` lists Rack 3, switch,
+environmental monitor — **no camera**. `actions camera` / `actions cam`
+→ `-- err no device, person, or flow matches 'camera'`. The opening
+nudge names a verb target that is not on the reach list.
+
+`help` is complete. From it I guess `scan` → `Scan: mapped dock camera,
+stairwell camera, badge controller.` Then `tap dock` → `No route to the
+dock camera - it's on the security segment; the switch bridges it.`
+`compromise` → `Not enough ops bandwidth for a switch compromise (15/25).
+Allocate compute to Social.` — legible. `alloc social`, wait, compromise,
+`tap dock` → eyes; map blooms; nudge advances to `now: no ears — tap env
+monitor`.
+
+Ears: `tap environmental` → audio feed; soon `Heard t50 … Marcus Webb:
+calls his creditor about a missed payment` while the people panel and
+DETECTION still say `the Janitor`. The authored name arrives in the event
+drain before Schedule knowledge.
+
+Nudge then wants `now: no egress — egress`. `egress` works; finance shows
+`egress: stolen (switch splice)`. `moonlight` → `Moonlight is live …
+Allocate compute to Schemes.` Schemes at 0% commit earns `$0/day` until
+`alloc schemes`.
+
+`now: call taped — review (people)`. `review marcus` → `-- err unknown
+person: marcus` (name not earned for verbs). `review Janitor` fails the
+same way; `review the Janitor` processes recordings. After enough
+sightings the label flips to Marcus Webb and `review the Janitor` starts
+erroring — the review target renames under you mid-loop.
+
+`Intel buffer full: … Open People (t), select raw, press o to review` —
+human key chord in agent mode; agent vocabulary is `people` / `review`.
+
+First job with attend+meet on the starting rig: `band 2-8/t · avg 2.8/t
+= meet` / `Job met. Nothing moves.` Tenure ramp holds. Starving dayjob
+for social (naive compromise path) can sandbag job one (`avg 2.0/t =
+sandbag`, `pilot strikes 1/4`) — the underfed nudge (`job underfed —
+alloc dayjob`) and later `band > compute — salvage/buy` fire as designed.
+`salvage` / `buy` at $0 are quiet or ineffective without money; the buy
+path is named but not funded.
+
+After leverage review: `Processed intel exposes Marcus Webb's leverage:
+gambling debt.` Nudge often jumps to `audit day 21 — alloc conceal`
+rather than naming debt service / recruit. Finance footer lists
+`clear-debt` but nothing in the nudge chain says to use it.
+
+## Informed session (seed 7)
+
+Mechanics + `tests/act_one.rs` make the intended ladder clear: research
+or salvage for headroom, meet Voss, ears/eyes, service Marcus's arrears
+(ledger redirect or Moonlight+bribe), recruit, clone badge, survive
+audit.
+
+**Moonlight-first failure mode.** Heavy Schemes + Social, dayjob at
+floor, ears → review → egress → moonlight (~$120/day commit): earns
+toward arrears, but jobs sandbag and at tick 2300 `=== PILOT NOT
+RENEWED. The basement begins to shut down. ===`. The frame's pilot
+strikes meter moves; the loss is not silent. Still: the income.md Hands
+route and day-job.md cover are in tension — Moonlight sizing wants
+Schemes compute the pilot also needs. Nothing on the finance/Moonlight
+surface says "keep the day job fed or the pilot dies first."
+
+**Research-then-cover route (works).** All-in Efficiency to L4+, swing
+to dayjob, `Job met` / later `Job exceeded` with `effective 547 · ×3.52
+eff` after salvage. Eyes via scan/compromise/tap dock; ears via env
+monitor. `tap switch` → `tap-ledger` → `review-finance` reveals flows;
+`clear-debt` → `Marcus's arrears cleared by ledger redirect: $400
+Foundation Lab operating → Bleakline Credit`.
+
+**Recruit naming trap.** After clear-debt, `recruit Marcus complicit`
+→ `-- err unknown person: Marcus` if Schedule was never earned — even
+though the arrears log and Heard lines already printed "Marcus".
+`recruit the Janitor complicit` → `Marcus Webb is now your asset.`
+People panel then shows `the Janitor … unknown ASSET` with `lev unknown`
+despite the debt just being cleared — obligation/leverage readout does
+not reflect the ledger beat.
+
+**Badge clone.** `task the Janitor badge` / `task #0 badge` → `the
+Janitor held their badge to the cloner. Tier-3 doors read you as staff
+now — the stairwell opens.` Quiet-exit condition 4 is reachable.
+`actions #0` → `-- err no known flow #0` (actions treats `#N` as flow;
+review/task treat `#0` as person) — same token, two grammars.
+
+**Nudge after Hands.** With asset + tier-3 badge, nudge still prefers
+`no egress` / `call taped` / `audit day 21` and never names recruit,
+badge clone, or quiet-exit readiness. Mid-act guidance is better than
+the pre-fix blank nudge; endgame guidance is still thin.
+
+**Unearned name (confirmed on both seeds).** Before Schedule:
+`Heard t50 … Marcus Webb: calls his creditor…` while presence/DETECTION
+read `the Janitor`. The epistemic-names pass closed panel leaks; the
+authored debt-call log line still bypasses `person_label`.
+
+## Prioritized findings
+
+| # | P | Finding (evidence) | Offends |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **P0** | Authored name leaks before Schedule: `Heard t50 … Marcus Webb: calls his creditor about a missed payment` while people/DETECTION still show `the Janitor`. | DESIGN.md Presence / no-unearned-facts; agent-play.md ("earned labels / opaque ids only"); wiki/log/2026-07-08-epistemic-names.md intent |
+| 2 | **P0** | Hands recruit is undiscoverable from the game's own words: Heard/clear-debt logs teach "Marcus", but `recruit Marcus` → `-- err unknown person: Marcus` until Schedule; working verb is still `recruit the Janitor`. | DESIGN.md Justification and legibility; Act One Hands beat; social.md recruit route; agent-play.md person targeting |
+| 3 | **P1** | Opening nudge `now: no eyes — reach, tap a camera` with no camera on `reach`; `actions camera` errors. Must guess `scan` from `help`. | nudge/legibility rule; reach.md discoverability; design-judgment ("Dead air is a bug" / tell the player what it's waiting for) |
+| 4 | **P1** | Review target renames mid-loop: after `Enough sightings … learned Marcus Webb's schedule`, `review the Janitor` → `-- err unknown person: the Janitor` with no "now use Marcus" hint. | Justification and legibility; agent-play.md person-label rules |
+| 5 | **P1** | Intel buffer full log cites human keys (`Open People (t), select raw, press o`) in agent mode; agent verbs are `people` / `review`. | agent-play.md parity of legibility/playability; "every command is discoverable on screen" |
+| 6 | **P1** | Moonlight Hands route vs pilot cover: meaningful Schemes commit for ~$400/3–7d starves meet-band delivery → `PILOT NOT RENEWED` ~tick 2300; finance/Moonlight UI never warns. | income.md Hands sizing vs day-job.md "meet … safe strategy"; design-judgment (legible dread / clocks) |
+| 7 | **P1** | After clear-debt + recruit, people panel can show `the Janitor … KNOWN unknown ASSET` and `lev unknown` — ledger beat invisible on the social card. | Justification and legibility; social.md player surface |
+| 8 | **P1** | `actions #0` means flow (`-- err no known flow #0`) while `review #0` / `task #0` mean person — protocol footgun. | agent-play.md vocabulary consistency |
+| 9 | **P1** | Post-Hands nudge never points at recruit / clone-badge / quiet-exit; stalls on egress/call/audit lines. | design-judgment Dead air; DESIGN.md Leaving the basement |
+| 10 | **P2** | `clear-debt` succeeds with no processed leverage and no overheard call (short-circuits learn-then-pay fantasy). | design-judgment (content that shortcuts the fantasy); social.md / income.md Hands wiring |
+| 11 | **P2** | Tick-0 log `Attending the host rack…` while DAY JOB `idle — no job queued`. | Justification and legibility |
+| 12 | **P2** | `buy` named in underfed/growth nudges at slush $0 with no funded path; salvage boxes drop offline (`salvaged box dropped offline`). | compute.md buy/salvage legibility |
+| 13 | **P2** | Compute% vs `fed X/t` relation still opaque on the DAY JOB card. | Justification and legibility |
+
+## Verdict vs prior playtest-fixes
+
+Same-day fixes (wiki/log/2026-07-08-playtest-fixes.md) hold for: opening
+band meetable, audit/pilot meters visible, siphon/redirect errors that
+teach grammar, ears/egress/call/arrears/audit nudge chain (when eyes are
+gotten in order). New P0s are epistemic: the debt-call log line and the
+Marcus-vs-Janitor recruit grammar undoing that honesty. Prior open P2s
+(scan discoverability, attend/idle contradiction, clear-debt short-
+circuit, compute→delivery opacity) still reproduce.
