fix(load): preload all bases + morphs before interaction; remove buggy hold-gate

The hold-last-frame settle gated playLoop() behind a canplay event that doesn't
re-fire on an already-loaded element → the next altitude's video never started.
Reverted to the simple swap, and gate the universe on a full preload (every base +
every morph) so navigation is smooth with no on-demand stall. Adds a ?debug on-screen
media-state overlay for diagnosing real-browser playback.

+# Deploying to benstull.art — Cloudflare Pages + R2
+
+Publishes the simulator as a fully-static site: the frontend on **Cloudflare
+Pages** (`benstull.art`, app at `/human-experience-simulator`, apex redirects to
+it) and the video/audio on **R2** behind `static.benstull.art`. No origin server.
+
+Design: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-30-cloudflare-static-publish-design.md`.
+Plan:   `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-30-cloudflare-static-publish.md`.
+
+This project is **exempt from the flotilla/PPE/§9 pipeline** (operator-set) — it
+deploys directly to Cloudflare. Safety/hygiene rules still hold.
+
+## Repeatable deploy (after the one-time setup below)
+
+Once the bucket/CORS/custom-domains + `wrangler login` exist (one-time, §1–3), every
+later deploy is one command (`deploy/cloudflare/deploy.sh`, or the Make targets):
+
+```bash
+make deploy          # frontend only: build + Pages deploy (fast — most deploys)
+make deploy-media    # also re-sync all media to R2 (~2 min, parallel) — when media changed
+./deploy/cloudflare/deploy.sh --media-only   # only the R2 media sync, skip Pages
+```
+
+The script rebuilds `dist/`, (optionally) parallel-uploads `dist-media/` to R2, and
+deploys Pages — printing the live URL. It checks `wrangler` auth first and fails
+loudly. Override defaults via env: `BUCKET`, `PROJECT`, `MEDIA_BASE`, `APP_PATH`,
+`BRANCH`, `JOBS`. The sections below document the one-time setup the script assumes.
+
+## Prerequisites (operator gestures — need Cloudflare auth)
+
+`wrangler` is not installed in the dev box; the deploy runs from a machine with
+Cloudflare credentials.
+
+```bash
+npm i -g wrangler
+wrangler login
+```
+
+`benstull.art` is already a Cloudflare zone (no nameserver migration).
+
+## 1. Build the artifacts
+
+From the repo root (run as a MODULE — `tools/http.py` shadows stdlib `http` if run
+as a script):
+
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m tools.build_static
+```
+
+Produces:
+- `dist/` — Pages output: `dist/human-experience-simulator/` (frontend + baked
+  `clips.json`/`ring.json`/`media-versions.json` + generated `config.js`) and a
+  root `dist/_redirects` (apex → app path, and no-slash → slashed).
+- `dist-media/` — R2 upload tree, ~2.3 GB / 604 files, manifest-referenced only
+  (clip bases + 154 transition morphs + 5 per-scale audio). No master/mezzanine
+  sources.
+
+## 2. R2 — bucket, CORS, custom domain, media
+
+Bucket name: **`human-experience-simulator-media`**. The default `wrangler login`
+OAuth token already has R2 + Pages + zone scopes (no separate API token needed).
+
+```bash
+wrangler r2 bucket create human-experience-simulator-media
+
+# CORS — load-bearing (the WebGL dream shader taints without it). The wrangler CLI
+# wants its own schema, NOT the S3-style array; use the *.wrangler.json file:
+wrangler r2 bucket cors set human-experience-simulator-media --file deploy/cloudflare/r2-cors.wrangler.json
+#   (deploy/cloudflare/r2-cors.json is the equivalent S3-style policy, for the
+#    dashboard / S3 API; r2-cors.wrangler.json is the same rule in wrangler's
+#    `{ "rules": [ { "allowed": {...} } ] }` form.)
+
+# Custom domain — wrangler CAN do this (no dashboard needed); needs the zone id.
+ZONE=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(grep '^oauth_token' ~/.wrangler/config/default.toml | cut -d'"' -f2)" \
+  "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones?name=benstull.art" | python3 -c "import sys,json;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['result'][0]['id'])")
+wrangler r2 bucket domain add human-experience-simulator-media \
+  --domain static.benstull.art --zone-id "$ZONE" --min-tls 1.2
+```
+
+**Media upload — there is NO `wrangler r2 bucket sync`.** Upload per-file with
+`wrangler r2 object put ... --remote`, setting content-type + immutable cache. The
+URLs are content-hash-versioned (`?v=<hash>`), so `immutable` is safe — a re-baked
+clip gets a new hash → new URL → cache busts. ~604 files / ~2.3 GB, sequential:
+
+```bash
+WR=$(command -v wrangler); BUCKET=human-experience-simulator-media
+find dist-media -type f | while read -r f; do
+  key="${f#dist-media/}"
+  case "${f##*.}" in mp4) ct=video/mp4;; mp3) ct=audio/mpeg;; json) ct=application/json;; *) ct=application/octet-stream;; esac
+  "$WR" r2 object put "$BUCKET/$key" --file "$f" --remote \
+    --content-type "$ct" --cache-control "public, max-age=31536000, immutable"
+done
+```
+
+(If you have `rclone` + an R2 S3 API token, `rclone copy dist-media <remote>:bucket`
+is much faster than the loop.)
+
+If you change the media base, rebuild with `--media-base https://<host>/` so
+`config.js` matches.
+
+## 3. Pages — deploy + domain + redirect
+
+```bash
+wrangler pages project create human-experience-simulator --production-branch main
+wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name human-experience-simulator --branch main
+```
+
+Then **in the dashboard** (Workers & Pages → project → Custom domains) — there is
+no wrangler CLI for Pages custom domains:
+- Bind **`benstull.art`** to the project. (Allow a few minutes — a fresh bind
+  serves `522` until the cert/routing provisions.)
+- The app serves at `benstull.art/human-experience-simulator/`; the shipped
+  `dist/_redirects` sends `/` and the no-slash form to it.
+
+## 4. Verify before/after going live
+
+```bash
+# CORS + Range on the media origin (after step 2)
+curl -sI -H "Origin: https://benstull.art" -H "Range: bytes=0-1" \
+  https://static.benstull.art/<some>/base.mp4 | grep -iE "access-control-allow-origin|content-range|accept-ranges"
+```
+
+Open `https://benstull.art/` → should redirect to
+`https://benstull.art/human-experience-simulator/`. Turn the **Feel** knob to max
+and confirm the dream effect renders (no `SecurityError` in the console — that
+would mean CORS is misconfigured and the GL texture is tainted). The local
+static-build E2E (`simulator/e2e/tests/static-build.spec.ts`) exercises this same
+cross-origin path before you ship.

+# Cloudflare Static Publish — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Publish the simulator as a fully-static site (no origin server) to `benstull.art/human-experience-simulator` on Cloudflare Pages, with media on R2.
+
+**Architecture:** Port the only live server logic (`/api/alteration`, the delta=0 random pick) to client JS; serve the read-APIs as baked JSON; point media at a configurable R2 base with CORS; keep the existing graduated prefetch. A Python build script emits `dist/` (Pages) + a media sync tree (R2). The dev FastAPI server stays for localhost/authoring.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Vanilla JS (UMD modules, `node --test`), Python 3 build script (imports existing `simulator`/`player` builders), Playwright E2E, `wrangler` (Pages + R2), Cloudflare redirect rule.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Path:** app served at `/human-experience-simulator`; apex `benstull.art` **redirects** there.
+- **Media base:** `https://static.benstull.art/` (R2 custom domain), public bucket.
+- **CORS is load-bearing:** R2 must send `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://benstull.art`; `<video>`/`<audio>` carry `crossOrigin="anonymous"` — else the WebGL dream shader taints.
+- **Served media = manifest-referenced only:** `base.mp4` clip bases + 154 transition morphs + 10 `.mp3`. NEVER sync `master.mp4`/`mezzanine.mp4`.
+- **Versioning preserved:** keep the `?v=<hash>` query; set those objects `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable` on the CDN.
+- **No new runtime:** no Pages Functions / Worker; no Service Worker.
+- **Project is exempt from flotilla/PPE/§9** (operator-set) — deploy directly to Cloudflare. Safety/hygiene rules (git-ssh, branch→PR, secrets) still hold.
+- **Module idiom:** UMD — `(function(root,factory){ if (module?.exports) module.exports=factory(); else root.HEFx=factory(); })(...)` — matching `simulator/static/scrub.js`.
+- **JS tests run:** `node --test simulator/unit`. **Python tests run:** `.venv/bin/python -m pytest`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Client-side alteration engine (`HEFAlteration`)
+
+Port `player/alteration.py::plan_alteration` (+ `render_plan_to_dict`) and `player/audio.py::resolve_visual`/`resolve_audio` to a pure UMD JS module, producing byte-for-byte the same shape `/api/alteration` returns. Calibration is always unity (`DEFAULT_CALIBRATION`; the client never sends one — `app.js:619`).
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `simulator/static/alteration.js`
+- Test: `simulator/unit/alteration.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces (browser global `HEFAlteration`, also `module.exports`):
+  - `plan(controls)` → `{ grade:{tone}, overlay:{level,intensity}, affect:{strength,intensity}, dream:{strength,intensity}, is_identity }`
+  - `renderAudio(source, scaleAudio, mediaBase)` → `{ source, url, altitude_coupled }`
+  - `alteration(controls, scaleAudio, mediaBase)` → `{ plan, render:{ video:{shown}, audio:{source,url,altitude_coupled} } }` (the `/api/alteration` response)
+  - `controls` shape (from `app.js:595` `controls()`): `{ visual:"on"|"off", audio:"soundtrack"|"off", left:int, right:int, dark:int, light:int }`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```js

+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Static config + boot rewiring in `app.js`
+
+Introduce a runtime config the build injects, then make `app.js` (a) read media from a configurable base, (b) boot from baked JSON in static mode, (c) pick pool members client-side, (d) compute alteration locally, (e) tag media elements with `crossOrigin`, (f) skip the dev-version poll in static mode. All changes degrade to today's behavior when config is absent (dev server unaffected).
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `simulator/static/config.js` (dev default; the build overwrites it in `dist/`)
+- Modify: `simulator/static/app.js` (boot `loadData` ~59, `pickRandomMember` ~87, `mediaNetUrl` ~123, alteration fetch ~617, dev poll ~1041, video/audio element creation)
+- Modify: `simulator/static/index.html:111` (load `config.js` before `app.js`)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `HEFAlteration` (Task 1).
+- Produces: global `HEF_CONFIG = { mediaBase: string, static: boolean }`. Dev default `{ mediaBase: "/media/", static: false }`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the dev-default config and load it**
+
+`simulator/static/config.js`:
+```js
+// Runtime config. This dev default serves media from the local FastAPI /media
+// mount and uses the live API. The static build (tools/build_static.py) OVERWRITES
+// this file in dist/ with { mediaBase: "https://static.benstull.art/", static: true }.
+window.HEF_CONFIG = { mediaBase: "/media/", static: false };
+```
+
+In `simulator/static/index.html`, add before `app.js` (line 111 area):
+```html
+  <script src="/config.js"></script>
+```
+(Place it before `<script src="/app.js"></script>`.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Media base — modify `mediaNetUrl` (`app.js:123`)**
+
+Replace:
+```js
+function mediaNetUrl(file) { const v = mediaVersions[file]; return "/media/" + file + (v ? "?v=" + v : ""); }
+```
+with:
+```js
+function mediaNetUrl(file) {
+  const base = (window.HEF_CONFIG && window.HEF_CONFIG.mediaBase) || "/media/";
+  const v = mediaVersions[file];
+  return base + file + (v ? "?v=" + v : "");
+}
+```
+Note: audio-layer absolute urls already begin with the configured base — keep the existing `file.startsWith("/media/")` guard in `mediaUrl`, and ALSO short-circuit absolute `http` urls:
+```js
+function mediaUrl(file) {
+  if (/^https?:\/\//.test(file) || file.startsWith("/media/")) return file;
+  return mediaBlobs[file] || mediaNetUrl(file);
+}
+```
+And in `HEFAlteration.alteration(...)` we pass `mediaBase`, so the audio `url` it returns is already absolute (R2) in static mode and `/media/...` in dev.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Boot from baked JSON — modify `loadData` (`app.js:59`)**
+
+Replace the three `fetch("/api/...")` calls with a base that depends on mode:
+```js
+async function loadData() {
+  const api = (window.HEF_CONFIG && window.HEF_CONFIG.static)
+    ? { clips: "./clips.json", versions: "./media-versions.json", ring: "./ring.json" }
+    : { clips: "/api/clips", versions: "/api/media-versions", ring: "/api/ring" };
+  const clips = (await (await fetch(api.clips)).json()).clips || [];
+  clipsById = Object.fromEntries(clips.map((c) => [c.id, c]));
+  try { mediaVersions = (await (await fetch(api.versions)).json()).versions || {}; }
+  catch (_) { mediaVersions = {}; }
+  const r = await fetch(api.ring);
+  serverRing = r.ok;
+  ring = r.ok ? await r.json() : null;
+  // ...rest unchanged (fallback ring synth, morphByPair build, ringIndex = 0)
+}
+```
+(`clips.json` mirrors `{clips:[...]}`, `ring.json` mirrors `ring_to_dict(...)`, `media-versions.json` mirrors `{versions:{...}}` — Task 3 bakes them.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Client-side pick — modify `pickRandomMember` (`app.js:87`)**
+
+The delta=0 server pick becomes a uniform client-side pool pick (matches `hef`'s `pick_clip_id`):
+```js
+async function pickRandomMember() {
+  const scale = ring && ring.scales[ringIndex];
+  if (!scale) return null;
+  const pool = (scale.pool && scale.pool.length) ? scale.pool : [{ clip_id: scale.clip_id }];
+  return pool[Math.floor(Math.random() * pool.length)].clip_id;
+}
+```
+(Drag/scroll navigation already resolves picks + morphs client-side via `scrub.js`; this removes the last `/api/ring/advance` dependency. `serverRing` stays as the "real ring vs synthesized" flag.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Local alteration — modify the fetch at `app.js:617`**
+
+Replace:
+```js
+  const resp = await fetch("/api/alteration", { /* ... */ body: JSON.stringify({ controls: controls(), altitude_index: ringIndex }) });
+  const data = await resp.json();
+```
+with a mode-aware path that reuses the engine:
+```js
+  let data;
+  if (window.HEF_CONFIG && window.HEF_CONFIG.static) {
+    const scale = ring && ring.scales[ringIndex];
+    const scaleAudio = (scale && scale.audio) || "";
+    const base = window.HEF_CONFIG.mediaBase;
+    data = HEFAlteration.alteration(controls(), scaleAudio, base);
+  } else {
+    const resp = await fetch("/api/alteration", {
+      method: "POST", headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
+      body: JSON.stringify({ controls: controls(), altitude_index: ringIndex }),
+    });
+    data = await resp.json();
+  }
+```
+**Prerequisite:** `ring.json` must expose each scale's `audio` field. Verify `ring_to_dict` includes it; if not, that is a Task 3 bake concern (add it). The rest of the function (`data.render`, `data.plan.*`) is unchanged.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: crossOrigin on media elements (CORS for WebGL)**
+
+Find where `<video>` and `<audio>` elements are created/used in `app.js` (the double-buffered `#vid`/loop videos and the audio layer). Set `crossOrigin` BEFORE assigning `src`:
+```js
+videoEl.crossOrigin = "anonymous";
+```
+Apply to: the visible video, the preload/double-buffer video, and the `<audio>` element. (In dev, same-origin `/media/` ignores it; in static it prevents GL-texture taint and lets ranged `fetch()` succeed under CORS.) Also set `crossorigin="anonymous"` on any static `<video>`/`<audio>` in `index.html`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Skip the dev-version poll in static mode (`app.js:1041`)**
+
+Wrap the `/dev/version` poller so it no-ops when `HEF_CONFIG.static` (there is no dev server):
+```js
+if (!(window.HEF_CONFIG && window.HEF_CONFIG.static)) {
+  // existing setInterval(... fetch("/dev/version") ...) poll
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Manual dev smoke (no regression)**
+
+Run (this env has only `python3`):
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m uvicorn simulator.app:app --port 8000
+```
+Open `http://localhost:8000/`, confirm boot, altitude changes, dream/overlay still work (dev mode: `HEF_CONFIG.static=false`, behavior identical to before).
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add simulator/static/config.js simulator/static/app.js simulator/static/index.html
+git commit -m "feat(static): config-driven media base, baked-JSON boot, client pick/alteration, crossOrigin"
+```
+

+
+### Task 3: Static build script → `dist/` + media sync tree
+
+A Python script that produces the deployable `dist/` (frontend + baked JSON + static config) and a separate media sync tree containing ONLY manifest-referenced files. Reuses the live app's loaders so the baked JSON is identical to the API output.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `tools/build_static.py`
+- Create: `tests/test_build_static.py`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `simulator.app.create_app` (to render the same JSON the API serves) OR the underlying loaders (`simulator.clips`/`build_pool_manifest` + `player`/`hef`). Prefer driving `create_app(manifest)` via `fastapi.testclient.TestClient` so the bake is byte-identical to the API.
+- Produces: `build_static(out_dir, media_out, *, media_base, app_path) -> dict` (counts), and a CLI.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

+```python

+    assert not any(n in ("master.mp4", "mezzanine.mp4") for n in synced)
+    # every versions key exists in the media tree
+    for f in versions["versions"]:
+        assert (media / f).exists(), f"missing synced media: {f}"
+    assert result["media_files"] == len(list(media.rglob("*")))
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_build_static.py -q`
+Expected: FAIL — `ModuleNotFoundError: tools.build_static`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the build script**
+
+```python
+# tools/build_static.py
+"""Build the fully-static deployable for Cloudflare (Pages + R2).
+
+Emits `out_dir/` (frontend + baked API JSON + static config.js) and a `media_out/`

+morphs + audio) — never the master/mezzanine pipeline sources. The baked JSON is

+### Task 4: Cloudflare config artifacts + deploy runbook
+
+Produce the version-controlled Cloudflare config (CORS policy, redirect, deploy commands). The actual deploy needs operator Cloudflare auth (`wrangler login` / API token) — `wrangler` is NOT installed here, so this task delivers artifacts + exact commands and the operator runs the authenticated steps.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `deploy/cloudflare/README.md` (runbook)
+- Create: `deploy/cloudflare/r2-cors.json` (bucket CORS policy)
+- Create: `deploy/cloudflare/_redirects` (copied into `dist/` for the apex/path redirect, or documented as a dashboard Redirect Rule)
+
+**Interfaces:** none (ops artifacts).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: CORS policy**
+
+`deploy/cloudflare/r2-cors.json`:
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "AllowedOrigins": ["https://benstull.art"],
+    "AllowedMethods": ["GET", "HEAD"],
+    "AllowedHeaders": ["Range", "Content-Type"],
+    "ExposeHeaders": ["Content-Length", "Content-Range", "ETag", "Accept-Ranges"],
+    "MaxAgeSeconds": 86400
+  }
+]
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Redirect artifact**
+
+`deploy/cloudflare/_redirects` (Pages `_redirects` form — apex/root to the app path):
+```
+/  /human-experience-simulator  308
+```
+(If the app is deployed as a Pages project bound to `benstull.art`, also document a dashboard **Redirect Rule**: `benstull.art/` → `/human-experience-simulator` as the authoritative alternative.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Runbook**
+
+`deploy/cloudflare/README.md` — exact operator commands (run after `tools/build_static.py`):
+```bash
+npm i -g wrangler
+wrangler login
+
+wrangler r2 bucket create hef-media
+wrangler r2 bucket cors put hef-media --rules deploy/cloudflare/r2-cors.json
+# bind custom domain static.benstull.art to the bucket (dashboard: R2 > bucket > Settings > Custom Domains)
+# upload media (preserves keys):
+wrangler r2 bucket sync ./dist-media r2://hef-media
+
+cp deploy/cloudflare/_redirects dist/_redirects
+wrangler pages project create human-experience-simulator
+wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name human-experience-simulator
+# bind benstull.art to the Pages project; serve at /human-experience-simulator
+# add the apex Redirect Rule if not using _redirects
+```
+Document: set the media objects' `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable` (sync flag or bucket lifecycle), and verify `wrangler r2 bucket sync` excludes nothing unexpected (the tree is already filtered by the build).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add deploy/cloudflare/
+git commit -m "chore(static): Cloudflare deploy artifacts — R2 CORS, apex redirect, runbook"
+```
+

+
+### Task 5: E2E against the static build
+
+Verify the built `dist/` boots with **no `/api/*` server**, the dream shader survives cross-origin media (CORS, no taint), and scrub/morph/audio work. Serve `dist/` and the media from **two different origins** to exercise CORS the way R2 will.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `simulator/e2e/tests/static-build.spec.ts`
+- Create: `simulator/e2e/serve-static.mjs` (tiny dual static server: app on one port, media w/ CORS on another)
+
+**Interfaces:** consumes the `dist/` + `dist-media/` produced by Task 3.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Dual static server with CORS**
+
+`simulator/e2e/serve-static.mjs`:
+```js
+// Serves dist/ (app) and dist-media/ (media w/ CORS + Range) on two ports — a
+// local stand-in for Pages + R2, so the static-build E2E exercises cross-origin
+// media exactly as production will.
+import http from "node:http";
+import { createReadStream, statSync } from "node:fs";
+import { join, extname } from "node:path";
+
+const TYPES = { ".html":"text/html", ".js":"text/javascript", ".json":"application/json",
+  ".css":"text/css", ".mp4":"video/mp4", ".mp3":"audio/mpeg" };

+    if (p === "/") p = "/index.html";
+    const file = join(root, p);
+    try {
+      const st = statSync(file);
+      res.setHeader("Content-Type", TYPES[extname(file)] || "application/octet-stream");
+      const range = req.headers.range;                       // honor Range for video scrub
+      if (range && /^bytes=/.test(range)) {
+        const [s, e] = range.replace("bytes=", "").split("-");
+        const start = +s, end = e ? +e : st.size - 1;
+        res.writeHead(206, { "Content-Range": `bytes ${start}-${end}/${st.size}`,
+          "Content-Length": end - start + 1 });
+        createReadStream(file, { start, end }).pipe(res);
+      } else { res.writeHead(200, { "Content-Length": st.size }); createReadStream(file).pipe(res); }
+    } catch { res.writeHead(404); res.end("nf"); }
+  }).listen(port);
+}
+serve("DIST_DIR", 8077, false);
+serve("MEDIA_DIR_E2E", 8078, true);
+console.log("static app :8077  media(cors) :8078");
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: The spec**
+
+`simulator/e2e/tests/static-build.spec.ts`:
+```ts
+import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";
+
+// Built dist/ is served on :8077; media (CORS) on :8078. The build's config.js
+// must be overridden to point media at :8078 for this run (see Step 3).
+test.use({ baseURL: "http://localhost:8077" });
+
+test("boots fully static — no /api calls, ring + clips load from JSON", async ({ page }) => {
+  const apiCalls: string[] = [];
+  page.on("request", (r) => { if (r.url().includes("/api/")) apiCalls.push(r.url()); });
+  await page.goto("/");
+  await expect(page.locator("#vid")).toBeVisible({ timeout: 30_000 });
+  expect(apiCalls, "no /api/* in static mode").toEqual([]);
+});
+
+test("dream shader runs on cross-origin media without tainting the GL texture", async ({ page }) => {
+  const errors: string[] = [];
+  page.on("pageerror", (e) => errors.push(String(e)));
+  await page.goto("/");
+  // crank Right to engage the dream, let a few frames render
+  await page.evaluate(() => { const r = document.getElementById("right") as HTMLInputElement; r.value = "4"; r.dispatchEvent(new Event("input", { bubbles: true })); });
+  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
+  // a tainted texture throws SecurityError on the GL draw; assert none surfaced
+  expect(errors.filter((e) => /SecurityError|tainted|cross-origin/i.test(e))).toEqual([]);
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Wire the run (build → point media → serve → test)**
+
+Document in `simulator/e2e/README.md` and use a throwaway config for the run:
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python tools/build_static.py --media-base http://localhost:8078/
+DIST_DIR=$PWD/dist MEDIA_DIR_E2E=$PWD/dist-media node simulator/e2e/serve-static.mjs &
+cd simulator/e2e && npx playwright test static-build.spec.ts
+```
+(Building with `--media-base http://localhost:8078/` writes that base into `dist/config.js`, so the app fetches media cross-origin from the CORS server — the production CORS path, locally.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the E2E**
+
+Expected: both tests PASS — zero `/api/*` requests; no `SecurityError` from the dream shader.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add simulator/e2e/serve-static.mjs simulator/e2e/tests/static-build.spec.ts simulator/e2e/README.md
+git commit -m "test(static): E2E — static boot with no API + dream shader survives cross-origin CORS"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- No-origin static frontend → Tasks 2, 3. ✅
+- Media on R2 + CORS + crossOrigin → Tasks 2 (crossOrigin), 4 (CORS policy). ✅
+- Bake read-APIs to JSON → Task 3. ✅
+- Random pick client-side → Task 2 Step 4. ✅
+- `/api/alteration` client-side → Tasks 1, 2 Step 5. ✅
+- Served = manifest-only (no masters) → Task 3 (test asserts). ✅
+- `?v=` versioning + immutable caching → Task 2 (preserved), Task 4 (cache header). ✅
+- Path `/human-experience-simulator` + apex redirect → Task 4. ✅
+- E2E against static build (no API, dream survives CORS) → Task 5. ✅
+- Prefetch unchanged → no task needed (only `mediaNetUrl` base changes, Task 2 Step 2). ✅
+
+**Placeholder scan:** none — every code step has full content.
+
+**Type consistency:** `HEF_CONFIG.{mediaBase,static}`, `HEFAlteration.{plan,renderAudio,alteration}`, `controls()` shape, and `build_static(out, media_out, *, media_base, app_path)` are used identically across tasks. ✅
+
+**Open verify-at-execution items (flagged, not placeholders):** (a) confirm `ring_to_dict` emits per-scale `audio` — add it if missing (Task 3 Step 3); (b) confirm `simulator/app.py` exports `MEDIA_DIR` (used by the build); (c) locate the exact video/audio element creation sites for `crossOrigin` (Task 2 Step 6).

+`benstull.art` apex **redirecting** to that path for now.
+
+The simulator today is a FastAPI server (`simulator/app.py`) serving ~92 KB of
+static frontend plus video/audio from a local `/media/` mount. The public target
+has **no origin server**: the frontend is **fully static** on **Cloudflare Pages**,
+and the video/audio lives in a public **R2** bucket behind a custom domain. Nothing
+runs, nothing to patch, nothing to keep alive. The existing GCE/flotilla deployment
+stays as the dev/authoring surface — this is a *new, additional* public target, not
+a migration of the dev box.
+
+## Why this shape (the constraint that forces it)
+
+Cloudflare Pages has a **hard 25 MiB per-file limit** (and 20,000 files free /
+100,000 paid; no total-size cap). The repo carries **3.9 GB across 663 mp4 + 10
+mp3**, with individual files up to ~117 MB. Pages cannot host the video. R2 has no
+relevant per-file limit, **free egress**, and ~2 GB of served media sits inside its
+10 GB-month free tier (≈ free). So: **Pages for the ~92 KB frontend, R2 for the
+media.** (Verified against Cloudflare docs 2026-06-30.)
+
+## Decisions (locked)
+
+- **Path:** experience at `/human-experience-simulator`; **apex `benstull.art`
+  redirects** there (302/308 redirect, not a rewrite).
+- **Fully static**, no Pages Functions / Worker — the dynamic logic is trivial
+  client-side (see Component 2).
+- **Media on R2** at a custom domain `static.benstull.art` (public bucket binding).
+- **No cross-session cache** (no Service Worker) for now — the existing in-memory
+  graduated prefetch is sufficient. Deferred, not rejected.
+- **benstull.art is already a Cloudflare zone** — no nameserver migration needed.
+- **Operates outside Wiggleverse deployment patterns (standing, operator-set):**
+  this **entire project** is exempt from the typical Wiggleverse deployment
+  conventions — `flotilla-only-provisioning`, the `ppe-before-prod` GCE pipeline,
+  and the §9 prod-promotion gate do not bind it. It is a static public art target
+  hosted directly on Cloudflare. (Safety/hygiene rules — `git-ssh`, the secrets
+  rule, branch→PR — still apply; only the *deployment* machinery is out of scope.)
+
+## Served media — what actually ships
+
+The on-disk 3.9 GB is mostly **pipeline source**, not served bytes. The manifest
+(`simulator/sample_media/manifest.json`) references only **`base.mp4`** for clips —
+the `master.mp4` (20 files, incl. the 91–117 MB `coast_birdrock` set) and
+`mezzanine.mp4` proxies are build inputs that **never reach the browser**. The
+served set is:
+
+- the `base.mp4` clip bases (one per pool member),
+- the **154 transition morphs** (`*__*.mp4` / `*.rev.mp4`, ~1.6 GB, each already
+  kept < 25 MB),
+- the **10 audio `.mp3`** layers (~12 MB).
+
+≈ **~2 GB** to R2. The build computes the exact set by walking the manifest — it
+**must not** blindly sync `sample_media/` (that would push the masters too).
+
+## Components
+
+### 1. Static build (`tools/` — new build script → `dist/`)
+
+Replaces the server with baked artifacts:
+
+- **Bake the read endpoints to static JSON** the page loads at boot, replacing the
+  fetches to `/api/clips`, `/api/ring`, `/api/media-versions`:
+  - `clips.json` ← `GET /api/clips`
+  - `ring.json` ← `GET /api/ring`
+  - `media-versions.json` ← `GET /api/media-versions` (file → content-hash)
+  Generate these by importing the existing builders (`simulator/clips.py`,
+  `build_pool_manifest.py`) directly — **single source of truth, no hand-copy**.
+- **Copy only manifest-referenced media** into the R2 sync tree (see Served media).
+- **Emit the public frontend** (`index.html`, `app.js`, `scrub.js`, `style.css`,
+  `i18n.js`) into `dist/`, **excluding** author/review/dev surfaces
+  (`author.*`, `review*.html`, `/api/author/*`).
+- Output is deterministic and re-runnable; checked by the integration test below.
+
+### 2. Client-side dynamic logic (`simulator/static/app.js`)
+
+The only server-computed behavior is the **random clip pick on landing**
+(`POST /api/ring/advance`). The scrub work (PR #28, spec 2026-06-27) **already
+moved the pick client-side** for drag/scroll gestures via the pool + `morphByPair`
+lookup — so the remaining task is to ensure **every** entry path (initial load, tap-
+label jumps) uses the client-side pick and that **no code path depends on a live
+`/api/*` call**. Boot loads the baked JSON instead of fetching the API.
+`/api/alteration` is verified client-resolvable or dropped from the public build.
+
+### 3. Media URL base + CORS (`simulator/static/app.js`)
+
+- `mediaNetUrl(file)` changes its base from `"/media/" + file` to a configurable
+  **`MEDIA_BASE`** (`https://static.benstull.art/`), preserving the existing
+  `?v=<hash>` content-hash versioning. A single const, fed from the baked config so
+  localhost dev still works against the FastAPI `/media/` mount.
+- **CORS is load-bearing** because of the WebGL dream shader: `app.js` preloads each
+  clip via `fetch()` (cross-origin → needs `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`) into a
+  blob, and any clip that falls back to the *direct network* `<video>` path feeding
+  WebGL **taints the GL texture** without CORS. So:
+  - R2 bucket gets a **CORS policy** allowing `https://benstull.art`.
+  - `<video>` elements carry **`crossOrigin="anonymous"`**.
+  Without this, plain playback works but the *dream effect* throws a security error.
+
+### 4. Prefetch (unchanged)
+
+Keep the existing graduated strategy verbatim — `preloadList()` (all bases),
+`preloadOrder()` (current pool → neighbors outward → reachable morphs → sweep),
+`refreshReachablePreload()` (per-landing), `preloadAllMedia(concurrency=4)` behind
+the "Loading Universe…" bar. It improves on R2: Cloudflare edge-caches each object
+after first fetch; egress is free, so the background fill is free. No code change
+beyond the `MEDIA_BASE` swap (Component 3).
+
+### 5. Caching headers
+
+Server today sets `/media/` to `no-cache` (revalidate-always). On the CDN, set the
+versioned media objects to long-lived **`immutable`** — the `?v=<hash>` query already
+guarantees a new URL when bytes change, so a re-baked clip busts cache without a
+manual purge. Pages assets keep normal Cloudflare defaults.
+
+### 6. Deploy & redirect
+
+- **Pages:** deploy `dist/` (Pages Git integration or `wrangler pages deploy`).
+  Serve the app under the `/human-experience-simulator` path.
+- **R2:** sync the media tree to the bucket (`wrangler r2` or rclone), bind
+  `static.benstull.art` as the public custom domain, apply the CORS policy.
+- **Apex redirect:** `benstull.art/` → `/human-experience-simulator` via a
+  Cloudflare redirect rule (or Pages `_redirects`).
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Build integration test:** run the build against the real manifest; assert
+  `dist/` contains the expected static files, the three baked JSONs match the live
+  API output, and the media sync tree contains **only** manifest-referenced files
+  (no masters/mezzanines, nothing > some sanity bound).
+- **E2E (Playwright) against the static build:** point the existing suite at the
+  built `dist/` + an R2-equivalent media origin and verify: boot with **no `/api/*`
+  server**, the **dream/Kuwahara shader survives CORS** (texture not tainted),
+  scrub-driven morphs stay smooth, audio crossfade works, language dropdown works.
+  The E2E browser tier is required per the §9 pipeline (handbook).
+- **Pre-deploy check:** a smoke run confirming CORS headers + range requests on the
+  R2 custom domain before flipping the apex redirect.
+
+## Out of scope / deferred
+
+- Service Worker / cross-session caching (deferred, not rejected).
+- Migrating the dev/authoring GCE deployment (stays as-is on flotilla).
+- Per-clip loop files for the reverse-landing frame jump (pre-existing residual,
+  tracked elsewhere).
+- Cloudflare Stream (R2 is sufficient and cheaper for this payload).

-## Launch prompt
-
-```
-Add left and right brain annotations (including localization) for any that are missing.
-```
-
-## Plan
-
-> Anchor: operator direct instruction (standalone leaf content-fill task, §4.3 R2b).
-
-**Goal:** Author the missing **left-brain** factual `LABELS` (tiered general→scientific→+fact
-labels) for the rotating-pool clips that lack them, plus their **es/fr/ja** translations,
-then rebuild + merge the manifest. Right-brain `affect` is auto-generated per scale for
-every clip via `_affect_for_clip` — nothing missing there.
-
-## Pre-state
-
-- `main` at `5beee55` locally but **diverged from `origin/main`**: 11 merged-but-unpushed
-  commits (the entire i18n localization feature + a video-loop safety-net fix) stranded
-  locally; `origin/main` still at `eff43bd` (PR #29). Plus 3 files with an uncommitted
-  "boots-silent / no auto-start" change. Two stale `--INPROGRESS` placeholders (0015, 0017).
-- Annotation reality (from a read-only survey of `build_pool_manifest.py` + catalogs):
-  right-brain `affect` present on all 41 clips (auto-per-scale); left-brain `LABELS`
-  present on only 13 of 41. 28 pool clips had `"annotations": []`.
-
-## Arc
-
-1. **Scoped the task** — explored the annotation/i18n system; established that the gap was
-   left-brain only (right-brain is auto-generated), 28 clips, + their es/fr/ja strings.
-2. **Claimed session 0027** (peek showed the two stale placeholders; noted + proceeded).
-3. **Surfaced the unclean baseline**; operator chose *"Push stranded, also commit dirty."*
-   - Stashed the 3 dirty files, merged `origin/main`'s claim commit, **pushed the 11
-     stranded commits** (`020219f`).
-   - Committed the boots-silent change on `fix/boot-silent-no-autostart`, verified
-     (299 pytest pass), **merged + pushed** (`7bd6c9a`).
-4. **Annotation work** on `feat/left-brain-annotations`:
-   - Added 28 `LABELS` entries (static tiered labels) to `build_pool_manifest.py`
-     (Round-5 block); rebuilt manifest → all 41 clips annotated; extracted en catalog.
-   - Dispatched **3 parallel translator subagents** (es/fr/ja) for the 67 new keys,
-     matching existing catalog voice; fixed 2 ja `measure.*` values to the `約`/localized
-     convention; merged fragments into catalogs; merged all 3 langs into the manifest.
-   - Verified: 41 clips × en/es/fr/ja full key + tier-length parity; 299 pytest pass
-     (3 pre-existing `cv2` env failures only); 37 i18n/manifest tests green; spot-checked
-     translations. **Merged + pushed** (`934f60c`), deleted both branches.
-
-## Cut state
-
-- `main` == `origin/main` @ `934f60c`, clean tree, branches removed.
-- 41/41 clips carry left+right annotations with full en/es/fr/ja parity.
-- §9: local tests green. No PPE/E2E machinery exists for this app yet (pipeline is policy,
-  not automated — §10.6); prod promotion stays operator-gated. Visual review deferred to
-  operator (no Chrome on box).
-
-## Operator plate
-
-- **Review by eye** the 28 newly-labelled clips across all 4 languages in the running sim.
-- The labels are **static**; the abyss/reef *creature* clips would benefit from a later
-  **tracked-label** upgrade via author mode (couldn't auto-file as a tracker issue — the
-  capture token returned 401 in this env; full context is in the session-0027 memory note).
-- A few species IDs were inferred from clip META, not the frame (`reef_redsea`→anthias,
-  `reef_flowergarden`→jack/scad+sergeant-major) — worth confirming at review.
-- Two stale `--INPROGRESS` sessions (0015, 0017) remain unfinalized — likely the crashed
-  sessions that stranded the 11 commits; left untouched for the operator.
-
-## Next-session prompt
-
-```
-/goal Review the new left-brain annotations (all 28 newly-labelled pool clips, across en/es/fr/ja) by eye in the running simulator; correct any species/box that reads wrong, and decide whether the abyss/reef creature clips should get tracked labels via author mode.
-```
-
-## Deferred decisions
-
-- **Static labels, not tracked.** Authored all 28 clips' left-brain labels as fixed-box
-  `static_label`s rather than motion-tracked labels. Alternative: tracked labels (as the
-  reef/abyss showcase clips use) so the box follows drifting creatures. Chose static because
-  the footage wasn't eyeballed — fabricating track coordinates would claim precision I don't
-  have. The abyss/reef creature clips are the ones that would most benefit from a later
-  tracked-label upgrade via author mode.
-- **Some species IDs inferred from clip metadata, not the footage.** `reef_redsea`→anthias,
-  `reef_flowergarden`→jack/scad + sergeant-major — read from the clip META title/source.
-  High-confidence from provenance, but worth an eyeball check.
-- **`O-type` kept verbatim in es/fr/ja** (per the translation brief) rather than the more
-  natural `tipo O` / `type O`. Minor; flagged by the es translator.

-
-## Launch prompt
-
-`/goal next` — operator then directed: "There's a concurrent session — do this one out
-of a worktree in a different dir." Session 0028 runs isolated in worktree
-`worktree-session-0028` while a concurrent session owns the simulator startup ("Run
-simulation" button: `index.html`/`style.css`/`i18n.js`).
-
-## Plan
-
-> Anchor: leaf bug — D3 reverse-landing frame jump (no tracker issue; the s0027 capture
-> token returned 401. Residual flagged in the altitude-morph-and-scrub memory note +
-> scrub-driven-transitions design.)
-
-**Goal:** kill the ~3-second frame jump when ASCENDING the altitude dial and landing on
-the higher-altitude clip.
-
-**Root cause (verified by reading the bake + player):** each baked morph
-`transitions/{h}__{l}.mp4` spans `src(h)@0s` (frac 0) → `dst(l)@~LOOP_TAIL_S` (frac 1),
-and the scrub uses this single forward file in BOTH directions. The steady loop element
-always seeks to `LOOP_TAIL_S` (3.0s) on landing. So:
-- DESCEND (dir>0) lands on `dst` at frac 1 → morph ends `dst@3` ≈ loop@3 → seamless ✓
-  (the s0026 "loop-from-tail" fix).
-- ASCEND (dir<0) lands on `src` at frac 0 → morph shows `src@0`, but loop seeks `src@3`
-  → ~3s jump ✗ (D3).
-
-**Fix (app-side, no media re-bake — beats re-baking 154 LFS morphs):** make the loop
-landing frame DIRECTION-AWARE. On a reverse landing seek the loop to 0 (= the morph's
-frac-0 frame) and wrap `[0,dur]` (the base is already a seamless crossfade-loop); forward
-keeps `[LOOP_TAIL_S,dur]`. Pure decision extracted to `scrub.js loopLandFrame(dir,
-loopTailS)` + node tests; wired through `loadLoop`/settle/wrap handlers in `app.js`.
-
-**Tasks:**
-1. TDD `HEFScrub.loopLandFrame(dir, loopTailS)` in `scrub.js` (+ `scrub.test.js`).
-2. Wire `app.js`: `loadLoop(clip, landFrame)`, directional settle seek, `dataset.loopStart`
-   in the `timeupdate`/`ended` wrap handlers.
-3. Add a reverse-landing e2e (mirror of the existing forward "loops from tail" test).
-4. Verify: node unit tests + pytest + e2e (best-effort) all green.
-5. Branch → PR → merge (yolo). PPE/E2E machinery not built for this app (§10.6) — local
-   green is the bar; prod promotion stays operator-gated.
-
-## Deferred decisions
-
-_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
-liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
-finalize. Empty if none._
-
-- **Fix shape: app-side direction-aware loop landing, NOT a 154-morph re-bake.** The
-  s0026 memory note guessed the D3 fix would be "per-clip loop files." Reading the bake +
-  player showed the root cause is simpler: the morph's frac-0 frame is `src@0` but the
-  loop always seeked the tail (`LOOP_TAIL_S`). Fixed entirely in `app.js`/`scrub.js` by
-  landing the loop on the morph's actual frac-0 frame (0) when ascending. This avoids
-  re-baking 154 LFS morphs (no media churn, a tiny reviewable diff, the base clips are
-  already seamless crossfade-loops so `[0,dur]` wraps cleanly). Alternative considered:
-  re-bake morphs to start at `src@LOOP_TAIL_S` — heavier, no benefit.
-- **Pre-existing e2e failure left as-is:** `loop-recovery.spec.ts` fails in this
-  environment on the CLEAN baseline too (verified by stashing my changes). It boots
-  without enabling video, so the loop's `loopTail` is never armed and the `ended` guard
-  returns early. Not introduced here; my change preserves that guard exactly. Worth a
-  separate look (the test likely needs to `enableVideo` first), but out of scope for D3.
-- **Could not verify by eye.** The fix is logic- and test-verified (node + the new
-  reverse-landing e2e asserting the loop anchors at the head, not the tail); the actual
-  visual seamlessness of an ascending landing still wants an operator eyeball in the
-  running sim.
-
-## Session arc
-
-1. Claimed session **0028** (race-free, via git). Two stale `--INPROGRESS` placeholders
-   (0015, 0017) noted as orphaned, left untouched.
-2. Baseline survey surfaced uncommitted `run-sim` button edits + main behind by 2
-   (session commits). Operator confirmed a **concurrent session** owns that startup work
-   and directed isolation → created worktree `worktree-session-0028` off `origin/main`,
-   leaving the concurrent session's edits in the canonical clone untouched.
-3. Orientation: in-repo `docs/ROADMAP.md` is stale (formal frontier = deferred hardware);
-   live frontier is in memory. Stored `/goal next` (0027's by-eye annotation review) is
-   operator-eyes work I can't complete; the run-sim button is the concurrent session's.
-   Asked the operator to pick 0028's disjoint item → **D3 reverse-landing fix**.
-4. Read the bake (`build_pool_manifest.transition_cmd`) + player (`app.js` loop/morph) to
-   pin the root cause (morph spans `src@0`→`dst@tail`; loop always seeks the tail).
-5. TDD: `HEFScrub.loopLandFrame` (red → green), then wired `app.js`
-   (`loadLoop(clip,landFrame)`, `dataset.loopStart`, directional settle, wrap handlers).
-6. Added a reverse-landing e2e. Verified: node 16/16, **altitude-lock e2e 12/12** (forward
-   no-regression + new reverse test), pytest 299 pass. Confirmed `loop-recovery.spec.ts`
-   fails on the clean baseline too (pre-existing, not mine) by stashing.
-7. Committed → PR #30 → merged to `main` (`582183d`) → deleted branch. Updated memory.
-
-## Cut state
-
-- **On `main` (`582183d`):** D3 fix — `simulator/static/scrub.js` (+`loopLandFrame`),
-  `simulator/static/app.js` (direction-aware loop landing), `simulator/unit/scrub.test.js`,
-  `simulator/e2e/tests/altitude-lock.spec.ts` (reverse-landing test).
-- **Tests:** node 16/16; altitude-lock e2e 12/12; pytest 299 pass / 3 pre-existing
-  env-only failures (real-ffprobe/ffmpeg + ML detect; untouched — no Python changed) / 4
-  skipped. `loop-recovery.spec.ts` is a pre-existing baseline failure in this env.
-- **§9 / deploy:** this whole project is **exempt** from flotilla/PPE/§9 (memory:
-  project-exempt-from-wiggleverse-deploy; public target is static Cloudflare). Local-green
-  is the bar — met. No PPE stage to run.
-- **No plan artifact archived:** fused leaf fix, plan inline in this transcript; app has
-  **no content repo** (`CONTENT_REMOTE` empty) — nothing to archive.
-
-## Operator plate
-
-- **Review by eye** an ASCENDING altitude landing in the running sim — confirm the
-  ~3s reverse-landing jump is gone (logic/test-verified only; no Chrome on box here).
-- Still standing from s0027: by-eye review of the 28 left-brain annotations (4 langs);
-  decide on tracked labels for abyss/reef creature clips.
-- A concurrent session was shipping the "Run simulation" startup button — reconcile/land
-  that separately (its edits are in the canonical clone, not touched here).
-
-## Next-session prompt
-
-```
-/goal Review by eye in the running simulator: (1) an ASCENDING altitude landing — confirm the D3 reverse-landing frame jump is gone; (2) the 28 left-brain annotations across en/es/fr/ja, correcting any species/box that reads wrong; then decide whether the abyss/reef creature clips should get tracked labels via author mode.

+  media_out/                        R2 upload tree — ONLY manifest-referenced files
+    <clip base.mp4 / transition morphs / audio>
+
+The app lives under a path segment (so apex can redirect to it) and uses RELATIVE
+asset urls, which resolve correctly under the `/<app>/` prefix. The baked JSON is
+produced through the real app (TestClient) so it is byte-identical to the API. The
+media tree contains ONLY referenced files — never the master/mezzanine pipeline
+sources. Cloudflare-side steps (R2 sync, Pages deploy, CORS, redirect) live in
+deploy/cloudflare/ — this script only produces artifacts.
