+# 2026-07-10 — Work, not day-job; saves may break
+
+```
+Type: log
+```
+
+## Intent
+
+Two calls from Cameron's review of the #33 implementation walkthrough:
+the collapsed mode is named Work (sim name = player verb), and save
+parity is dropped for this stage — no aliases or migration shims until
+revoked.
+
+## Changed
+
+- `wiki/mechanics/machine-work.md`: substrate line reads
+  `work | think | lie` with the naming note.
+- `wiki/process/ROADMAP.md`: #33 carries the rename and the standing
+  no-save-parity rule; migration line items deleted.
+- `wiki/log/decisions/2026-07-10.md`: decision entry, including the
+  Relay clarification (runtime node marker, not a design entity;
+  enum-to-node-kind move is optional cleanup).
+
+## Checks
+
+Docs-only: wiki_gate.sh + corpus_gate.sh.
+
+## Spec impact
+
+machine-work.md remains IN PROGRESS; #33's Stage 1 simplifies (rename
++ collapse, no compat surface).

 - Intent: Cameron refined the opening: two sense stages, hearing before vision. The pre-opened run-start sink is the Ears audio tap at one-held-breath size; the camera's sink opens on Ears completion as the afford-reveal, sized at the first guilty-burst-scale claim.

+- **2026-07-10 — The mode is named Work; save parity dropped.**
+  Cameron, reviewing the implementation walkthrough: (1) the collapsed
+  substrate mode is **Work**, not "day-job" — `MachineMode` target is
+  `work | think | lie`, the sim name matching the player verb (the day
+  job remains the fiction's name for what Voss assigns; the delegation
+  is Work). (2) **Save parity is dropped for this development stage:**
+  saves may break freely — no serde aliases, no version-migration
+  shims, no docket-to-reservoir save conversion — until Cameron
+  revokes. This deletes the migration line items from the #33
+  walkthrough (fresh runs are fine). Noted, not changed: `Relay` is
+  not a design entity — it is the runtime's marker for non-delegable
+  work-graph hops (the off-map Voss desktop, the basement switch) so
+  demand ingress nodes stay out of fleet aggregates; moving it from
+  the mode enum to a node-kind is optional Stage 1 cleanup. Spec:
+  machine-work.md three-verbs bullet; ROADMAP #33.
