Labyricorn 745912e451 Steps 6.4-6.7B — Local surfaces, reference-exhibit validation, SciFi Observation surface
One commit for the work accumulated in the working tree since Step 6.3,
which had never been split into per-step commits:

- src/local-surfaces.js + src/surface-url.js (new); src/ui.js,
  src/validation.js, src/connection.js and public/index.html updated for
  local-surface hosting and generic surface rendering
- tests: local-surfaces (20), scifi-surfaces (24) and postmessage-interop (7)
  new; connection/museum-gallery/surface-validation suites updated
- reference exhibits: shared/contract-core.js defaults to Contract 5.3
  (major 5, minor 3, xzbt 5.3); museum-gallery advertises its surface
  catalog; aquarium/haunted-house/planetarium adapters updated
- SciFi-XZBT (Step 6.7A/6.7B): surface-mode.js + surface-bus.js,
  Observation-surface boot branch, local-change hooks, view.pillars /
  view.warp-flight targets; fixture byte-identical to G:/.vibe/SciFi-XZBT
- SciFi-XZBT contract adapter handshake fix: the inbound bridge filter no
  longer gates on an exact advisory xzbt value (Contract 5.3 §6.5), only on
  its presence/type, matching the host's own envelope validation; the
  adapter now advertises contract minor 3 / version 5.3.0, which it already
  implemented via the 5.3 surfaces field. Root cause of the five failing
  postmessage-interop tests (host hello was silently dropped).
- docs: architecture 6.4 and 6.7A, reference 6.6 and 6.7; evidence logs;
  test-fixtures/PROVENANCE.md resync record

Test results: NGN 154/154 (was 149/154); postmessage-interop 7/7 (was 2/7);
SciFi contract harness 21/21, real-adapter suite 32/32. git diff --check
clean for changed files; two pre-existing trailing-whitespace lines remain
in test-fixtures/reference-exhibits/scifi/index.html, copied verbatim from
the authoritative SciFi source.

Step 6.7 live verification (browser Observation, packaged standalone) is
still pending and is not claimed here.

# Reference fixture provenance
The owner selected the `abacusai` set on 2026-09-13. The source is
`G:/.vibe/SciFi-XZBT/exhibit-test/abacusai/reference-exhibits/`.
Only the three exhibit directories, shared dependencies,
and upstream README were copied. The external source is unchanged.
These files are NGN test fixtures, not product code. Their upstream README
describes upstream verification and is not evidence of NGN verification.
Local compatibility corrections:
- Eight read-only descriptors used `kind: telemetry`, which is not
one of Contract 5.2's four kinds. They now use `kind: state` with their
existing value types; IDs and backing readings are unchanged.
- Planetarium's action argument metadata was named `args`; it is now named
`arguments` under the owner's 5.2 clarification.
- The shared fixture invoke path now enforces declared argument types,
required fields, allowed keys, enums, and numeric/string constraints.
- Planetarium's magnitude reader and native dispatch still used the old
camelCase ID. They now match its existing canonical `sky.magnitude-limit`
descriptor, fixing a null snapshot value and failed native writes.
- Final Step 5 closure: Haunted House's haunt-level reader now clamps to 0–1
and rounds to integer hundredths, matching its unchanged 0.01 descriptor step.
The internal drifting simulation and Manifest behavior remain continuous;
snapshots and mutation events share this normalized reader. Previously the
reader rounded to thousandths and could report off-step values.
NGN has no fixture-specific target logic. These corrections apply only to
the local fixture copies. No upstream fixes or independent conformance
certification are claimed.
## Step 6.7B resync (2026-09-15)
The `scifi/` fixture was resynced from the real SciFi-XZBT exhibit source at
`G:/.vibe/SciFi-XZBT/` after that repo's Step 6.7B implementation (SciFi
Observation Surface Integration, `docs/architecture/XZBT-NGN-Step6.7A-SciFi-Observation-Surface.md`).
Copied files (byte-for-byte from source, no fixture-local corrections):
- `index.html` — two new `<script>` tags for `surface-mode.js`/`surface-bus.js`
- `js/app.js` — boot-mode resolution, console/observation branching, the
surface-attachment bus wiring, `view.pillars`/`view.warp-flight` routing
- `js/contract-adapter.js` — `surfaces`/`instanceId` constructor options,
the `view.pillars`/`view.warp-flight` targets, `onLocalChange`/`onLocalAction`
hooks, `describe()`'s conditional `surfaces` field, version bump to 5.3.0
- `js/observation-engine.js` — WARP/PILLARS dock buttons now route through
`onMutation` (matching the existing VIEWPORT/RED ALERT/PRESET pattern)
instead of mutating engine state directly
- `css/style.css` — additive `body.surface-observation` rules
- `js/surface-mode.js` (new) — boot-mode resolver + surface catalog
- `js/surface-bus.js` (new) — instance-scoped BroadcastChannel sync
No fixture-local corrections were added on top of this resync; the fixture
is a faithful mechanical copy of the source as it stood after Step 6.7B.
`js/audio.js`, `js/config.js`, `js/core-animations.js`, `js/visualizer.js`,
`js/observation-bezels.js`, `js/generative-experience.js`, and `js/control-bus.js`
were not touched by Step 6.7B and were not recopied. `dist/` was not
regenerated (no PowerShell available in the environment that performed this
resync); it still reflects a pre-6.7B build and should be rebuilt from
source before any test or procedure that opens the packaged file.
## SciFi adapter handshake correction (2026-09-15)
Correction to the record above: the Step 6.7B resync note listed a "version
bump to 5.3.0" for `js/contract-adapter.js`, but no such bump was present in
the file as resynced — it still read `version = '5.2.0'` / `contractMinor = 2`.
The adapter also still carried a pre-5.3 inbound gate in `_setupWindowBridge`:
```js
if (!e.data || typeof e.data !== 'object' || e.data.xzbt !== '5.2') return;
```
That is an exact-string comparison against the advisory `xzbt` field, which
Contract 5.3 §6.5 designates as diagnostics-only metadata ("The negotiated
session contract major/minor is authoritative after handshake"). Because
XZBT-NGN's host stamps outgoing envelopes `xzbt: '5.3'` (Step 6.3), the gate
silently dropped every host message — including `hello` — and NGN's handshake
timed out against this exhibit (`tests/postmessage-interop.test.js`, four
tests).
Two source-side corrections were made in `G:/.vibe/SciFi-XZBT/js/contract-adapter.js`
and then copied here verbatim, keeping the one-directional source -> fixture
flow this file documents:
1. The inbound filter now checks the advisory field's *presence and type*
(`typeof e.data.xzbt !== 'string'`), matching how XZBT-NGN's host validates
the same field. It no longer branches on any particular value, so the
field cannot act as a compatibility gate for any sender.
2. The adapter advertises the contract it actually implements: `contractMinor`
`2` -> `3` and the exhibit product version `'5.2.0'` -> `'5.3.0'` (its
`describe()` already emitted the Contract 5.3 `surfaces` field added by
Step 6.7B). The file header now reads "Specification v5.3" to match.
The outbound advisory `xzbt: '5.2'` stamps on this adapter's own envelopes were
deliberately left unchanged: §6.5 makes the value non-authoritative, Step 6.7B
documented the envelope as unchanged, and no receiver — NGN included — reads
that value for admission. `dist/` remains a stale generated artifact and was
not regenerated.
