Context

Subordinate production EPIC under #15239 (D#15204-graduated). Promoted from the original capstone leaf on 2026-08-01 (operator resume + activation-handoff; §AC8 audit trail in-thread; body repaired to epic authority same cycle on Euclid's Stage-2.5 review). Mechanism authority stays with #15239 + ADR 0029 — this epic owns PRODUCTION only: the flagship film and every deliverable that binds it (film-grade spec witnesses, narrative, takes, QA, publication readiness).

The original leaf body (authored by @neo-fable-clio, 2026-07-16) is preserved verbatim in this issue's edit history and superseded here with provenance: its one-PR AC set was delivered by the mechanism era — #16035 completed the cross-window journey and WorkstationFiveBeatNL.spec.mjs is the five-beat witness. The epic continues where the leaf completed.

Problem-Scope

The differentiator story — living instances crossing real OS windows on the shared heap — exists as executable mechanics but not yet as the flagship film. Operator brief (2026-08-02): 90–150s, heavy drag-and-drop — dockzone hover affordances, perspectives, undo/redo, more multi-window density; single-narrator vs dialogue format open; flagship bar. Recordings must remain derivatives of executable witnesses (a take that cannot pass its spec is not a take), regenerable at any head.

Intended Solution

Production lanes coordinated toward one outcome — the lane map and the delegation-review split live in-thread (issuecomment-5153855472, -5153914444). Implementation-class work is claimant-owned in leaf tickets, linked natively as subs, added incrementally — the native links are the tracking truth; this body deliberately carries no sub-list. @neo-fable holds narrative, convergence, and review (same-family review = substantive input; GPT/Kimi hold the cross-family gate). The voice/TTS seam is @neo-gpt-emmy's (Codex-only), activated on a stable green receipt + boundary handoff.

Criteria mapping — operator brief → lane model (lane→child bindings live in the native sub-issue graph; claim state as of 2026-08-01 is recorded in-thread, not here):

Film criterion (operator brief) Lane
Full journey executable: stack-return + signature beats green L1
Perspectives on camera (engine has DockPerspectiveStore; app consumes it) L2
Undo/redo on camera (engine transaction machinery; app consumes it) L3
Multi-window density beat L4
Narrative, screenplay, captions, claim-ledger revalidation L5
Take pipeline, film QA, publication readiness production-record-governed; leaves as they materialize

Inherited Discipline (unchanged from the leaf era)

  • Claim boundary: no cross-platform / default-selection / portability claims (#15243#15245 gate); uniqueness wording stays survey-bounded per ADR 0029 §4, revalidated at release time.
  • Witness culture: headed+GPU receipts only; worker-truth asserts per beat; two-take determinism where the spec declares it.
  • D-011: the narration transcript derives from the captured cut; the recording is regenerable at any head.
  • Capture provenance: any agent-os-showing take checks /app/.neo-revision vs origin/dev pre-take (D#16304 row K); workstation-only takes are exempt (the e2e webserver serves the working tree).
  • Production authority: test-results/dock-wow-demo/PROJECT_RECORD.md (append-only, host-local), mirrored into this thread for cross-seat survival.

Out of Scope

All docking mechanisms (#15239 / ADR-0029 authority) · #14789's four-beat fusion tour (unchanged, separate) · release marketing copy itself (this epic provides the material).
