The README, the project page and the engineering guide all describe a linear story. The tree shipped two days ago. Every published surface is a phase behind, and the guide is not merely behind — it is wrong in a way that costs a reader time. Its 2.2 was "Two coordinate systems, and the bug class they create", and it explained the codebase through position_of_index, note_action_removed and settled_story_actions. All three were deleted in SP3. 2.3 explained retry through Action.variants and state_before. Somebody reading either would go looking for machinery that is not there, which is worse than a gap. So 2.2 is now "The story is a tree", written at the depth 1.2 and 1.3 are written at: the seven bugs that turned out to be one bug, the lineage clause and the two properties that make fork count free, why takes group by parent_id rather than by coordinate, cursors becoming anchors, and a closing list of what the design is honest about. 2.3 is rewritten around state_after and takes, and 1.1 and 1.5 follow, because the pipeline no longer snapshots before the call and the memory bank no longer holds an action back. The numbers were simply old: 151 tests where there are 440, 37 migrations where there are 64, twelve phases where there are fourteen. They appear in four places across the README, the project page's stat tiles and the guide's results table. The measured branch cost — 103 B, and 1.007x the page load of the same story flat — is added beside the egress and turn-cost figures it belongs with, since it is the number that answers "what does branching cost me". Three screenshots, on a new tools/shots_fixture.py: the Bandit Camp demo driven through eight written turns with written deltas, three discarded takes forked onto branches of their own, one off a branch so the map has to nest. Same reason tree_fixture.py is committed — the shots have to be reproducible and the frontend still has no test runner. play-world-state.jpg is reshot because it predates the entire tree UI; the map and the branches panel are new. Note for next time: docs/guide.html is hand-written, not generated from the Markdown, so every guide edit is two edits in two vocabularies. Both files were checked for tag balance and both pages rendered locally before this landed.
