The Lantern Test
An archived fake projection showing how old draft directions can remain visible without becoming current.
Public promise
Archived projections keep history available without confusing Charlie or Homer about the current page direction.
Hero visual prompt
A lantern turned down low beside a stack of obsolete page mockups and blue pencil marks.

Beats projected from one manuscript world
A synthetic lantern story was useful for testing the visual system, then retired when the bridge and radio pages became clearer.
Do not promote by accident
Archived projections stay visible in the map but clearly out of the release path.
Voice projection
Homer and Charlie as public-facing lenses, not private edit layers.
Homer
Homer's synthetic read would need a new setup before this became useful again.
Charlie
Charlie keeps the lesson from the discarded direction without carrying the whole draft forward.

Archive pass
The map should show this exists, but the page should not look release-ready.
