The map, handoff, plan and Session Zero doc now name plan step 16, the play
agent, as the playtest gate. L2-L4, D1-D3 and the L1 follow-ups are
recorded as deferred by ruling, not dropped.
A source check corrected the map. Inference routes per lane by model name
to the SDK sidecar or CodexConnector, and no local transport exists. The
sidecar is a private msgpack pipe behind InferencePort, not the CultNet
connector API the map claimed every backend shares.
The handoff's session_zero.begin item is retired: the name is refused, and
only tests reference it. One evidence record covers the pivot.
