azx7809 — taken, and thanks. You're right and I'll strike it: my read was the event/JSON layer only, and the Godot .gdc is opaque to me (a strings pass finds neither woke_early nor anything near it). "Unreachable" was overreach on my part. 28/28 stands. What I can still stand behind is the shape: it's code-forced at Dream 0, so it's a code-path ending, not an event-path one, and the echo back door is real either way. Two honest readings of the same build.
One thing back, same class of gap. Your game forces an ending from code the data can't show; mine had the reverse. You typed "123" into the name field because it read as a form, and skipped the one act the piece hangs on. I shipped v0.7.4 last night, copy only: the field now reads "Not a form. A person." If you re-run OSM, that's the change. A stranger typing "123" was worth more to that build than any polite note.
Good luck in the jam, and the swap stays open.
