council: T reads a turn for what the seats did, and says how far back it can

[sanlee-ys]

The turn page (§9.22) answers what the seats said about turn 10. The other half of a turn is what they ran, and the room has been parsing, redacting and keeping every tool call since §9.6a — it just draws them in a 37-cell column, where the outcome is one glyph. So "did anything fail in turn 10, and where" cost a scroll per seat.

T opens the same turn's acts at the full frame.

  acts in turn 3  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  → everyone  5 acts
    the room keeps the last 50 turns per seat — an act from an older turn is gone.

  › what does resume cost by turn five?

What it is

• A second FACE of the projection, not a third projection. TurnView keeps deciding which turn is on screen; TurnView.Ledger decides which of that turn's two records is drawn. [, ], g and G move the same coordinate, and the scroll window, the overflow markers and the clamp are the same code pointed at a different list.
• The key is T. Shift on the key whose subject it shares — t gives one turn the whole room, T gives that turn's acts the whole room. It flips rather than navigates (toggleArenaDiff's shape), so a reader on turn 7 stays on turn 7. t still means the reading face from anywhere. In compose it is the letter T, on q/f/c/t's contract. That a shifted letter arrives as "T" and not "shift+t" was read off the pinned ultraviolet source, not assumed.
• The help panel gained no row. f / t / T merged onto the row that already teaches both, which is how t itself landed there. The row sits at its 114-cell budget exactly.

The honesty this surface could get wrong for free

• No reported outcome never renders as success. ? outcome unknown is its own word, because a vendor that says a step ENDED has not said it worked (antigravity's DONE).
• An unresolved call splits on whether the seat is still working, not on turnEntry.Live — the newest turn stays the column's current one long after every seat lands, so Live alone would report a dead call as running for the rest of the session. running while waiting or streaming; no outcome reported once that seat has landed.
• (no acts recorded), never "did nothing." A trace is a reading of what a vendor chose to report.
• The header states the retention window from maxHistory itself. the room keeps the last 50 turns per seat — an unqualified "the acts" would be a record with a silent floor under it. It is a line under the rule rather than meta on it, because labelRuleIn sheds its meta whole at narrow widths and that sentence must not be the first thing to go.
• A seat that sat the turn out is absent (§9.15), on screen and in the paste.

y / Y

Both keys already take the page's own document; YankPage is what keeps that true now there are two. The ledger document is built from the same turnEntries call the screen renders from, so there is no second sanitizer — every string already passed the one redact-and-sanitize choke point on the way onto State. It carries the retention sentence too: in a file pasted into an issue a week later, that line is the only thing saying the record was ever bounded.

Out of scope, deliberately

No per-seat focus on the page (§9.22's declined ruling stands), no change to what turnEntries collects, no note cards on the ledger (the seat's own rule already carries how its turn ended), no STATE.md.

Gates

go vet ./..., go test ./internal/council -timeout 20m, and the rest of the suite: green. Two new goldens (act-ledger, act-ledger-ascii); help.txt moved by exactly one line, the taught key — read before accepting. No test spawns a vendor. Nothing here is a claim about vendor behaviour, so no live run is owed: the acts it draws are the ones §9.6a already measured, at a width that can afford to name them.
