Five things from the second playtest. A status line at the top of every screen: the game, the pack, your current title, and the version plus the commit it came from. `tools/stamp.js` writes the commit into src/build-info.js before serving and before building, so a distributed dist/theladder.html states exactly which commit produced it. An uncommitted working tree gets a `+` suffix — "4cab9fc+" is honest in a way a bare SHA would not be. The whole game is now playable on Enter. Every screen marks one control and the app focuses it after each render: the first *available* option while choosing, the next-turn button once the result is in, "keep going" on the retrospective. Tab and Shift+Tab reach the other options. Locked options needed no special handling — the browser's tab order already skips disabled controls, so they stay visible without being in the way. "What is notable? under What changed?" — two fixes. `notable` is the retrospective's own list of moments; a display rule can now say `inLedger: false` and it is left out, because "Notable — changed" tells nobody anything. Flags are the opposite and stay, but as sentences the pack supplies rather than as booleans: "The envelope is in your locker." instead of "the envelope: now true". Exported logs live in logs/, gitignored, and `npm run analyze` reads the newest one there when given no argument. A log records what a real person did turn by turn, including whatever they typed into the feedback box — committing one once would put it in the history for good. Version set to 0.3.0 on the reasoning that the engine was 0.1 and the interface 0.2; say if you want a different scheme and I will renumber. 119 tests. Reasoning in docs/DECISIONS.md §25-28.

Exported playtest logs
Drop exported feedback logs here — the browser downloads them wherever it normally does, and this is where they go to be read.
npm run analyze # the newest log in this folder
npm run analyze -- <file> # a specific one
The logs themselves are gitignored. They record what a real person did, turn by turn, including anything they typed into the feedback box, so they are not committed: keep them local, or share them deliberately.
