DETERMINISTIC BLACKJACK — S-STAGE PLATE-READY VERIFIED MANIFEST
CODE VERSION: V9.2.54
SESSION: 7 | 20260907_020601
STATUS: PRE-RENDER VERIFIED INPUT SET — PLATE REMAINS PENDING UNTIL POST-RENDER AUDIT
PURPOSE: S has already prepared the candidate publication values so plate creation is a controlled layout/audit step, not a second data-discovery exercise.
AUTHORITY: current-session evidence and this S-generated manifest are numeric authority. Previous plates and Sessionplate_structure.zip are presentation precedent only.
ZERO IS DATA: never inherit a zero, N/A, score, status or number from a template.

================ OBSERVED / LIVE SESSION =================
MODE: FROZEN
Observed path: start £100.00 | final £25.00 | P/L -£75.00 | hands 9 | W/L/P 2/6/1 | exposure £180.00 | avg wager £20.00
Observed path extrema: peak £130.00 at hand 1 | trough £25.00 at hand 9 | maxDD £105.00 at hand 9
Observed synthetic-reference profile: N/A | requires a complete source-supported 30-hand observed path under the frozen scorecard equations

================ S-STAGE PUBLICATION TEMPLATE / MODULE SELECTION =================
TOP-SECTION TEMPLATE CLASS: STANDARD ARCHETYPE B — HYBRID / EVIDENCE-STATE / INCOMPLETE JOURNEY
PRIMARY TOP-SECTION PRECEDENT: HYBRID / EVIDENCE-STATE STANDARD (canonical seed reference: Session 10)
APPLICABILITY SCORE: Complete-observed standard = 3 | Hybrid/evidence-state standard = 6
SELECTION REASON: Evidence favours Hybrid/evidence-state treatment. Complete-observed applicability=3, Hybrid/evidence applicability=6, complete observed=false, action differences=0, wager differences=0.
MANDATORY EVIDENCE MODULES: HYBRID / EVIDENCE-STATE STANDARD MODULES: evidence-state/N/A/last-source-supported treatment, decision provenance/divergence where present, five-controller running P/L bar and protected lower interpretation area. Carry complete-observed score modules only when current evidence actually supports them.
MANDATORY GLOBAL MODULE: full-width five-controller running P/L bar and protected lower interpretation area whenever those controllers/evidence states are applicable.
SELECTION RULE: S classifies the current evidence against two standard publication archetypes, independent of the current Session number. Canonical Session 7 and Session 10 plates are seed whole-plate visual references for those archetypes only; Session 9 is a HYBRID-DETAIL MODULE reference when current Hybrid-vs-Frozen decision comparison evidence exists. None are numeric authority. Sessionplate_structure.zip contains the canonical shuffle-robustness table template. For future publication handoffs it is always included; the template is structural authority for the shuffle-robustness table only, while current S evidence remains numeric authority.
PUBLICATION DENSITY CHECK: preserve the selected precedent's information density, canvas utilisation, typography scale, panel depth and graphical richness. Reject a sparse/generic reconstruction even when its numbers are correct. Do not optimise for small PNG file size; render at publication resolution.
COMPOSITION DIRECTIVE: PRIMARY BODY = HYBRID/EVIDENCE-STATE / SESSION-10 ARCHETYPE; ADD = COMPLETE-OBSERVED SCORE MODULES only where current evidence supports them; GLOBAL = FIVE-CONTROLLER RUNNING-P/L BAR; DO NOT CREATE A THIRD VISUAL ARCHETYPE.
CANONICAL GEOMETRY GATE: treat the primary archetype as the page skeleton, not loose inspiration. Preserve the accepted family's approximately 40% left / 20% centre / 40% right main-body hierarchy, icon-led metric cells, prominent bankroll arrow/summary, large Risk/Journey score boxes, dense full-width robustness table, and four equal-depth lower analysis panels. Hybrid additions must fit inside that skeleton or increase canvas height; they must not cause a new dashboard layout.
COMPONENT MAP GATE: before rendering, classify every visible module as SESSION-7 WHOLE-PLATE INHERITED, SESSION-10 WHOLE-PLATE INHERITED, SESSION-9 HYBRID-DETAIL MODULE INHERITED, or CURRENT-SESSION EVIDENCE SUBSTITUTION. Session 9 is module-only and must never become a third whole-plate archetype. If a module cannot be mapped to one of those categories, do not invent a new permanent panel unless current evidence makes it unavoidable.
VISUAL SIMILARITY GATE: before showing the image, compare it against both supplied canonical plates. It must be immediately recognisable as the same publication family by geometry, panel proportions, density, iconography, typography hierarchy, metric-cell structure, score prominence, table depth and lower-panel utilisation. Blue/white colour similarity alone is insufficient. A numerically correct but visibly redesigned or sparse plate is FAIL and must be rebuilt before user presentation.
USER VISUAL ACCEPTANCE BOUNDARY: user visual acceptance is final human UAT after autonomous evidence AND canonical-visual gates pass; it is not the first design-review stage.
Decision provenance: total 11 | textbook/frozen-aligned 11 | research overrides 0 | primary H11v10 overrides 0
Wager match/above/below 9/0/0
Action match/different 11/0
Shuffle events explicitly observed: 0
Total cards recorded: 52
Cards since most recent observed shuffle/start: 52
Validation warnings/overrides encountered: 1
Hands re-entered through amendment review: 0
Observed shuffle boundaries: none

================ STAT-WATCHING / ULTIMATE-AI EVIDENCE =================

================ STAT-WATCHING CASUAL | SESSION 20260907_020601 ================
EXPERIMENT STATUS: EXPLORATORY COUNTERFACTUAL / DETERMINISTIC / QUARANTINED FROM FROZEN-vs-CASUAL SCORECARD
REPLAY BASIS: FORMAL_START
VISIBLE-EVIDENCE RULE: wager and exit decisions use only completed prior-hand evidence visible to the player; no future cards, shoe composition, or unrevealed dealer hole card is consulted. A hole-card hunch may affect a current play decision only after the dealer up-card is visible and only from previously revealed hole-card history.
POLICY: ordinary wager £15; rare evidence-triggered 2x/3x/4x presses; rolling last-five-hand table impression; deterministic walk-away rule from Hand 8 onward. Existing Casual and Frozen policies are unchanged.
STAY POLICY: the stay-at-table counterfactual keeps the SAME Stat-Watching Casual personality, wager logic, hunch logic and play policy; only the behavioural walk-away trigger is disabled. It never switches to Frozen style.
Chosen behavioural path: hands 9 | bankroll £40.00 | W/L/P 2/6/1 | exposure £135.00 | termination SOURCE_EXHAUSTED
Stay-at-table counterfactual: hands 9 | bankroll £40.00 | W/L/P 2/6/1 | exposure £135.00 | termination SOURCE_EXHAUSTED | NOT SOURCE-COMPLETE
Exit value versus staying: N/A unless a behavioural exit occurs and the stay-at-table replay is source-complete.
PATH_CHOSEN: H0=100.00;H1=115.00;H2=100.00;H3=115.00;H4=100.00;H5=85.00;H6=70.00;H7=70.00;H8=55.00;H9=40.00
PATH_STAY: H0=100.00;H1=115.00;H2=100.00;H3=115.00;H4=100.00;H5=85.00;H6=70.00;H7=70.00;H8=55.00;H9=40.00
INFLUENCE | NONE | No wager press, hunch override, or behavioural exit trigger fired in the source-supported path.
Publication boundary: exploratory side experiment only. Do not award established Frozen/Casual scorecard percentiles or alter the main comparison from this block without a later declared research phase.

================ SESSION 10+ STANDARD PLATE ARCHITECTURE =================
TOP BAR: mandatory full-width SESSION SUMMARY — RUNNING PROFIT / LOSS (ALL PLAYERS). Use only current-session verified P/L or evidence-state wording. Controller completion/exit status belongs in this bar; do not duplicate Ultimate-AI final/status in the main header.
HEADER: retain shuffle/entry context at left, main title, and Journey ID at far right. Header is session-level identification, not a second controller-result area.
OBSERVED SCORECARD PRECEDENT: if the current Observed/Hybrid/Personal journey is a complete source-supported 30-hand path, show its OWN independently computed Risk and Journey in the main observed-player panel. Use the canonical complete-observed archetype treatment where applicable, while retaining the global five-controller running-P/L bar when supported.
FORMAL-START MIDDLE: when supported, show BOTH Risk and Journey beside BOTH Frozen and Casual rows. Large score row is exactly RISK SCORE | JOURNEY INTENSITY SCORE and must align cleanly; do not add a third duplicate Journey box.
BOTTOM FOUR PANELS: KEY FINDINGS | MOST SIGNIFICANT OBSERVATIONS | ROBUSTNESS INTERPRETATION | OVERALL CONCLUSION. These panels primarily interpret the robustness table; routine audit housekeeping stays beside the evidence it qualifies.
PROTECTED ANALYSIS SPACE: do not obtain room for new modules by shrinking the bottom analytical area or reducing its established readable text. Increase canvas height if necessary.
WRITTEN CHATGPT SUMMARY: explicitly report running P/L/evidence status for every controller shown in the top bar.

POST-RENDER GATE: audit every number and substantive label against this manifest plus authoritative evidence. Plate remains PENDING until that audit passes.
