Director-bridge wired end-to-end. MockDirectorBridge cycles knot palettes (str / dex / int / center) every 6s with a 600ms crossfade, and tier shifts (green / amber / red) every 12s. DirectorSystem mutates VeilBudget; VeilBudgetSystem propagates same-tick to ParticlePool (4096 -> 205 cap on red) and AudioBus. The patent-defensible novelty loop is closed live. No three.js, no PIXI. Canvas2D + pre-baked particle disc. gallery
