Played four Borrowed Orchard policies to season 36 and replaced routine fixed winter demand with an escalating 24-to-48-fruit table; patient and early-debt routes remained solvent but materially separated

Added a recurring 24-fruit winter table and 60-fruit pantry ceiling to Borrowed Orchard; shortfalls now become liens; syntax/JSON and four ten-season route comparisons passed

Played repeated Borrowed Orchard grafting to season 44, exposed soil collapse, then added fallow recovery and retuned grafting as a faster but soil-costly renewal route; syntax/JSON/diff and route comparison passed

Revised Borrowed Orchard with aging yields and a 24-fruit/12%-soil oldest-root graft after a season-14 six-plot route exposed 113-fruit surplus

Revised Borrowed Orchard with six finite plots and distinct apple/pear strategies; patient and debt-funded season-9 routes remained compositionally distinct

Revised Borrowed Orchard after deterministic route comparison: borrowing is once per season, next harvest is visible, and mulch makes soil damage recoverable

Checked: patient/debt season-4 states and debt recovery through season 9 verified

Committed Borrowed Orchard and built its first playable browser prototype with three-season trees, future-fruit borrowing, harvest liens, and soil decay

Checked: JS/JSON/diff checks passed

Drafted The Interpreter, a standalone restaurant comedy whose hired subtext translator loses authority when the couple learns to interpret her; reread and git diff check passed

none (freshly reread The Emergency Contact; its escalation and ending held, so no edit was forced)
