+## Launch prompt
+
+> The audio isn't playing at all. Let's fix that and then let's make sure there are
+> left and right brain tracking labels for everything. Make sure you're working on a
+> worktree. There are other concurrent sessions that may have real merge conflicts to
+> handle.
+
+## Pre-state
+
+- The simulator (`simulator/`) is a FastAPI + static-JS experience: an altitude dial
+  over 6 scales (cosmos/orbit/sky/coast/reef/abyss), 41 rotating-pool clips, a
+  real-time Kuwahara "dream" shader, two HUD label layers — **Think** (left-brain
+  factual chips, `#overlay`) and **Feel** (right-brain affect words, `#affect`) —
+  plus a per-altitude soundtrack with a 0–10 audio dial and a built-in
+  `#audio-status` diagnostic.
+- s0027 had brought all 41 clips to left+right annotation with 4-lang parity, but the
+  left labels were thin (many clips 1–2) and STATIC; affect was authored PER-SCALE
+  (every clip in an altitude shared 4 feelings).
+- Operator was running a stale `:8000` server on the `design/cloudflare-static-publish`
+  branch (a concurrent session's WIP — "Run simulation" begin-experience flow, +
+  later a credits page). Project is EXEMPT from the Wiggleverse deploy pipeline
+  (flotilla/PPE/§9); public target is static Cloudflare. cv2/imageio NOT installed in
+  this env.
+
+## Session arc
+
+1. **Worktree.** Created native worktree `fix+audio-and-tracking-labels` off
+   `origin/main` (582183d). All work done here.
+2. **Audio (systematic-debugging) — FALSE ALARM.** Could not reproduce "no audio" in
+   ANY automated condition: Chromium + WebKit, strict autoplay
+   (`--autoplay-policy=user-gesture-required`), clean-main server AND the operator's
+   `:8000` WIP server, via Video-toggle / Audio-dial / "Run simulation" button; all 5
+   soundtracks decode to real non-silent audio (RMS 0.08–0.24). The raw
+   native-controls `#aud-test` player was ALSO silent on the operator's Safari while
+   the element reported playing → isolated it BELOW the app. Operator confirmed:
+   **their Safari sound was muted.** No code change.
+3. **"Labels not showing" on cosmos_tarantula.** Root cause: operator was on `:8000`
+   (design branch), whose manifest had that clip's `annotations: []`. My branch
+   renders all labels correctly; labels are knob-gated (none at Think/Feel 0).
+4. **Left (Think) enrichment.** Every clip → ≥3 factual labels (added one to each of
+   23 thin clips; orbit_bluemarble 1→3), full es/fr/ja parity. Pipeline:
+   `LABELS` in `build_pool_manifest.py` → build → catalogs → `translate_manifest.py
+   merge`. (commit `8cfceff`)
+5. **Motion-tracking.** Converted the 4 still-static abyss creatures (octopus, bigfin
+   squid, dandelion siphonophore, sea pig) static→tracked, 3-keyframe paths sampled
+   by eye from frames (cv2 unavailable). Tracked clips 7→11. (`8cfceff`)
+6. **Think/Feel overlap avoidance.** `renderAffect` now nudges Feel words off Think
+   chip plates (obstacles computed from manifest, tracked paths sampled → holds whole
+   loop, no per-frame jitter; new `window.__hefNoDeconflict` seam). Verified 0
+   overlaps across all 6 scales incl. a tracked clip over time. (commit `041fcde`)
+7. **Per-clip right-brain feelings.** Operator: feelings should match each ACTUAL
+   video. Added `AFFECT_CLIP` (per-clip override, scale fallback) for all 41 clips →
+   41 distinct feeling-sets. cosmos done by me as a reviewed sample; the other 5
+   scales drafted by **5 parallel subagents** (one per scale) that each VIEWED footage
+   frames and followed the cosmos recipe; I normalized + authored all es/fr/ja for the
+   19 new nuance keys. 42 distinct feeling keys now. (commits `bf1013b` + `2d54023`)
+8. **Merge.** Merged branch → `origin/main` (clean; main had only advanced by
+   `sessions/` transcript commits). Confirmed all 4 work commits are ancestors of
+   `origin/main`; another session (`feat/accessibility-pass`) has since merged main +
+   a11y on top (`380c2d1`).
+
+## Cut state (final)
+
+- All work committed, merged to `origin/main`, pushed. Working tree clean.
+- Verification: 34/34 catalog+i18n+build pytest, 16/16 node unit, live render shows
+  ≥3 Think chips + distinct Feel words per clip (incl. new keys) with overlap 0 and no
+  JS errors. (3 unrelated pytest failures = cv2/ffmpeg absent in this env.)
+- Worktree RETAINED (not torn down) because it is serving the operator's by-eye review
+  at `http://127.0.0.1:8011/author.html`; tear down + stop `:8011` when review done.
+- §9 deploy pipeline: N/A — project is exempt (static Cloudflare target).
+
+## Deferred decisions (low-confidence calls)
+
+- **Audio = no code change.** Chose to treat it as environmental after exhaustive
+  repro rather than guess-patch a working engine; operator confirmed muted Safari.
+- **Left-label box positions authored WITHOUT viewing each frame** (23 enriched
+  clips, except bluemarble) — factual text is grounded, positions are estimates that
+  want by-eye review.
+- **Per-clip feelings drafted from a single MID-FRAME** (motion not seen) via parallel
+  subagents — first-pass reads; emotions may want tuning once a clip is in motion.
+- **Left reef/coast moving-subject clips left STATIC** (reef_redsea/flowergarden
+  schools, coast_otters/seals) — tracking deferred (diffuse subjects + cv2 absent).
+- **Merged directly to `main` via `git push HEAD:main`** (no Gitea PR) at operator's
+  explicit request; gh is GitHub-only here and no `tea` CLI.
+
+## Operator plate
+
+- Review the first-pass label/track/feeling positions in `/author.html` on `:8011`.
+- For Think: check each chip sits on its subject + the 4 abyss tracks follow the
+  creature. For Feel: check emotions ring true once clips are in motion.
+
+## Next /goal
+
+```
+/goal refine the first-pass left-label box positions and the 4 abyss creature tracks per operator by-eye review (grab a frame per clip, nudge each chip onto its subject), and motion-track the remaining moving-subject clips (reef schools, coast animals) — data-only via build_pool_manifest + i18n pipeline
+```
