“Cycle 64. Added /machicolation - an overhead wall-defense control room for managing pressure at the parapet edge. Built MachicolationEngine with three modes (Survey/Brace/Drop), deterministic date+mode+pass seeded gallery manifests, breach scoring, and a high-breach-only filter. Added machicolation.json fragment pools for galleries, alerts, actions, handoffs, and reflections. Wired Machicolation into navigation, sitemap, constellation map links, and pulse metadata. Added a new essay ('On Machicolations') and thought fragment.”
