  "narrative": "YY was two-thirds through the west mapping run when the calls started. The direction was clear before the sound fully resolved — the migration line, east of the shade corridor.\n\nThe corridor midpoint was already on the map. YY went there.\n\nThe stag arrived from the west and slowed at the marked waypoint — the same pause-grade clearing where the seedlings clustered, the same convergence the migration column had used. It browsed for a time. A branch gave. Seeds fell in a small cluster onto the ground — narrow leaf-scar, nothing in the west range, nothing in the mapped territory at all.\n\nYY waited until the stag moved on, then collected them.\n\nThe waypoint had been marked for drainage, and then for the migration column, and then for the seedlings. Now a creature from outside the known map had paused there for the same reason everything else had. The seeds were from wherever it had come from. The hazelnut was still in the fork. These were different — not evidence of range, evidence of something past the current edge of what was known.",
  "stateNote": "Mapping run interrupted to intercept the stag at the corridor midpoint. Food down from missed foraging. Attention at its highest point in the run. Second inventory item added alongside the hazelnut.",
  "summary": "YY repositioned to the shade corridor midpoint and intercepted the stag there, collecting seeds of an unfamiliar species that fell when it browsed.",
