Nine findings from a review of the phase-14 stack. The one about a retry
withdrawing a memory is not a bug — a memory anchored to a node describes that
node, and it goes when the node goes. The root is the exception, and it is the
only one: migration 62 parked every memory written before memories had
coordinates on depth 0, so withdrawing the opening node would retire a whole
bank nobody attached there. A memory with no source range covers no story and
now stays; a summary that genuinely ends there is still withdrawn.
The rest are repairs.
* The adventure list quoted whichever attempt was written last rather than the
one the story tells, so switching back left the index disagreeing with the
page.
* A v1 import gave a typed memory no depth, rebuilding the NULL the migration
exists to remove — invisible until the imported adventure forked.
* The action cap counted a v1 file's turns, and a turn expands into a row per
saved attempt, so a file inside the cap could write a multiple of it.
* Forking a live node on a borrowed ancestor promoted a sibling on a branch the
caller never named. It is a branch switch, and now says so.
* Switching attempts left the state, status and memory panels reading the
previous take: the story does not change length, so nothing keyed on its
length noticed. Same class as the branch-switch bug this phase already fixed.
* A retry after switching back numbered the new attempt into the middle of the
group instead of the end.
* The cursor backfill numbered every action in the table once per adventure;
correlated to the adventure being updated, it is an index lookup instead.
* Renaming a branch answered own_actions=0.
And one behaviour change recorded rather than repaired: script-visible history
and actionCount no longer count blank-text rows. That is the right shape and
there is no reading compatible with both, so plan/14 says so.

A bundle had one list and a forked adventure has two stories, so export was
emitting every branch's turns interleaved by index — a mangled story rather
than lost data, and unreachable only because forking has no UI yet.
`ai-dnd-adventure-v2` carries the branches, the depth each one left its
parent at, which attempt at every turn is the story, and what each node
left behind. That last one is not decoration: the after-snapshots are what
a branch switch puts back, and a bundle without them imports a tree nobody
can switch inside.
`app/bundle.py` owns both formats and nothing else knows either. The v1
reader stays — those files are already on people's disks — and it is now
the only place a `variants` array exists anywhere.
The rule the module is built on is that a bundle carries what was chosen
and never what is derived. The head branch, the fork points, the live flags
and the anchors are decisions somebody made. The lineage, the head depth,
the legacy `index` and the variant ordinals are computed from those and are
rebuilt on the way in, because a bundle is a text file anybody can edit and
a derived field shipped beside its source is a chance for the file to
disagree with itself where no read would report it.
`index` is the one that stops being academic here. It agreed with `depth`
until SP5, and this is the first writer that has to fill it for a forked
story, where two branches both hold a node at depth 4. It is allocated one
per turn instead: siblings share it, no two coordinates do.
Everything a hand-edited file can get wrong about the shape of a tree is a
400 raised before the adventure row exists, because a half-applied import
is exactly the failure this phase exists to end — a story that goes quiet.
A file wrong about which attempt is live is corrected rather than refused;
that is an invariant of the database, not of the format.
Measured on the 600-action fixture: 587 kB to 911 kB, and all of the
increase is the outcomes at 489 B a node — the coordinates themselves save
57.5 B a node against the old turn-and-variants shape. Twenty forks add
660 B. 4.3% of the import body cap.
381 tests green, 16 of them new in test_bundle_v2.py. No migration, no
vacuum owed.
