Stage: `P8_2_MARKET_PREPARATION_ACTIVE`

The Phase 6 battle, VFX and equipment direction is Owner-accepted. Phase 7
turns the existing 50-screen design inventory into an individually viewable,
Chinese-first, production-oriented landscape HTML atlas. Runtime, engine,
audio, bulk asset production, device, package and release work remain frozen.

Strongest evidence: fixed-source static design validation, exact
asset-provenance checks, browser interaction and responsive-layout
verification, offline self-contained bundle verification, and agent visual
review. The Phase 7.1 candidate evidence is ignored local evidence at
`prototype/gallery/evidence/r7-1-candidate-e23b00b-attempt01/`. Its browser log
SHA-256 is
`b735e2218321b4452e3ea2a49b0e03d6c2f568cd218fb15f340d9fe635453441`;
the 23-row inventory SHA-256 is
`a169dbdc4d03eb00a6ffffc447d035cf5cb0a423422af9060d4eaff81d0b2706`
and verifies 23/23 from its evidence root. The self-contained HTML bundle
SHA-256 is
`64dbe54f94e66d0bff6bcdf17f5852c5c77c8b56b25eef8f30068ab9198f8176`.

Phase 7.1 remains the accepted automated design baseline: every Recruit has one
active equipment slot and individual run-scoped level/XP capped at level 10.
The Owner has authorized Phase 8 as five separately playable experience
packages. On 2026-08-12 the Owner reviewed the published P8.1 Contract and
receipt flow and explicitly accepted it. P8.2 Market Preparation is now the
only active package; P8.3-P8.5 and Godot/runtime development remain frozen.

The authoritative ignored local evidence is at
`prototype/gallery/evidence/p8-1-candidate-0b4a64f-attempt01/`. Its nine-file
inventory verifies 9/9 with SHA-256
`b076e5990aadb5e2b72ed979e27403a294c17b342c9bbadbad63b460c7fd60f3`.
The P8.1 browser log SHA-256 is
`c7e9a7278cb99881b51715bc25e3bd3112293ad282b63bc8449c1150653f6729`;
the Phase 7 regression log SHA-256 is
`af5eb0616e7dc1061f702d392952419701a93b6452475d626fac490d5c8f3aae`;
the self-contained bundle SHA-256 is
`e5895441d2835a22e9f94d6615c95be7180b7df6983c4611b499efc730feb915`.

P8.2 uses the authority price formula rather than the obsolete Phase 7 sample:
each level-1 base Recruit costs 14 Coin, so two separate hire receipts move the
opening balance `52 -> 38 -> 24` and Company `2 -> 3 -> 4` while Line capacity
remains four. It then owns one equipment transaction and one tap-select/tap-
destination order change, stopping before Risk.

Shortest next action: implement and verify the bounded P8.2 Market Preparation
state machine, then publish it for Owner play without starting P8.3.
