Locked decisions

The PRD said no production code until the Section 9 blockers were answered. These are the answers the slice was built against.

Q1 · Bike scope

On-foot athlete

No vehicles: the contestant sprints, vaults, climbs, balances, swings and slides. The fixed-step model ships throttle, brake, lean/balance, hop and the traversal assist for each obstacle class.

Q2 · Movement model

Rail-linear

Forward motion is on Z only. Left/right is lean and balance correction, which keeps the side-cinematic camera honest and keeps Mode A input counting deterministic.

Q3 · Tick rate

60 Hz fixed step

One accumulator, one integrator. Input polling is edge-captured and consumed inside the same fixed step, so hop counts can never drift from physics.

Q4/Q5 · Question bank

SAT practice + gameshow, static now

Gate items are adapted from SAT practice-exam item styles and indexed by answer integer. MC rounds use gameshow cadence. Shipping as typed data now; the query surface is already a function call, so swapping to a Cloud-backed bank is a one-file change.

Q6 · Repeats

Per-run non-repeat set

Each rider carries a seen set; the query falls back to the full pool only when a bucket is exhausted, and to pure gameplay when no question matches the obstacle parameter.

Q7 · Multiplayer

Local split-screen, online-ready model

One authoritative world object stepped outside both canvases; each canvas is just a camera onto it. Profiles, level progress and trivia stats already use the exact row shape a Cloud table will hold.
