The postern
Hrold follows the lower approach to staging before breaching at half health. A two-second warning precedes the physical strike; death before impact cancels it. The gate remains permanently open after breach. The campaign has twenty authored waves, with Hrold arriving in wave twenty.
Beam and sweep
Normal strike contact is 0.6 seconds into a 2.4-second cycle. The frontal sweep locks direction with a 1.2-second warning and uses the same sector for collision and the visible telegraph. Four cardinal walk views retain direction at rest and use hysteresis without orthogonalizing the route.
Art acceptance still open
The V3 front death, intro and shoulder-plate repairs are retained. Breach beam/grip rigidity and weak pullback/contact separation remain unresolved. Runtime contact is fitted to the painted left lintel/post junction, but this is not a production art acceptance claim.
