  "narrative": "Three body-lengths past the midpoint waypoint, the ground gave.\n\nOne foot — to the ankle — into waterlogged soil. The drainage line ran directly under that point; the stag's weight the day before had broken the surface compaction. YY pulled free with effort, the sound loud against the quiet of the corridor.\n\nThe waypoint marker was two paces back. YY stood at the edge of the soft patch and looked at both of them.\n\nThe run continued, west section only. At the marker, a second notation: unstable after wet, stag-weight confirmed.\n\nThe midpoint had been marked for drainage. Now it was marked for drainage and this.",
  "stateNote": "Foot sank at the corridor midpoint waypoint — stag-weight and drainage had softened the ground beneath the surface; pulled free; waypoint notation updated; run shortened to west section only; food down from missed foraging, health and attention slightly down.",
  "summary": "YY's foot sank into softened ground at the corridor midpoint waypoint mid-run; pulled free, updated the notation, and completed the west section with the corridor's reliability now qualified.",
