+## Version the scene before a round
+
+Letters version one frame. A **round** versions the whole scene. A round is any
+of: two or more open threads on one scene; one request that changes more than
+one frame of a scene; the human saying "iterate", "push this further", "next
+version", or asking for a change that is not a typo or a spacing polish. One
+substantial comment on one frame is NOT a round - that is a letter (above).
+
+Before the first edit of a round, snapshot the scene. One snapshot per round,
+not per comment: if the newest `design/scenes/<scene>-v<N>/` is younger than
+every file in the live scene (nothing changed since it was taken - a sibling
+job or the previous comment took it minutes ago), the snapshot exists - skip
+to step 4.
+
+1. **Copy the scene**: `design/scenes/<scene>/` → `design/scenes/<scene>-v<N>/`
+   (`v1` the first time; then the next free number), `_layout.tsx`,
+   `_fixtures.ts` and nested variant directories included. Then re-point every
+   id reference inside the copy from `<scene>/` to `<scene>-v<N>/`: `data-goto`
+   attributes (`data-goto="<scene>/cart"` → `data-goto="<scene>-v<N>/cart"`),
+   Markdown `goto:<scene>/…` links, and any scene-qualified `meta.of`. Check:
+   `grep -rn "<scene>/" design/scenes/<scene>-v<N>/` returns nothing but imports.
+   The archived flow then plays on its own and never leaks into the live one.
+2. **Freeze what it imports.** Files INSIDE the scene folder travel with the
+   copy; anything imported from outside it (`design/screens/`, the app's
+   components, a CSS file) stays live - the snapshot tracks it. If the round
+   will change any of those, copy them into `<scene>-v<N>/_snapshot/` and
+   re-point the imports; otherwise leave a one-line note at the top of the
+   version's first frame: `// v<N> tracks the live <Screen>; exact state: git`.
+   Assets (`design/assets/`) stay shared - they are rarely edited in place.
+3. **Pin it on the `archive` board** as its own band: a node per frame of the
+   version (a board lists frames; the recipe arranges scenes), `layout.rows`
+   with one lane per band, oldest version at the top, newest at the bottom,
+   `{ "space": 4 }` between bands, and EVERY scene on the board named in the
+   recipe with its own scene recipe (an unlisted scene falls to a trailing lane
+   in default order). Create the board the first time (`"order"` high, so it
+   sits last among the curated boards; `"auto": false`). Set the copied frames'
+   `meta.title` to `"<title> · v<N>"` so the sidebar reads as history. The
+   version also shows on `all-scenes` (it holds everything) - fine; it must NOT
+   be added to any feature board or to `publish.json`.
+
+   ```json
+   { "version": 1, "name": "archive", "order": 90, "auto": false,
+     "layout": {
+       "rows": [ ["archive"], { "space": 4 }, ["checkout-v1"], { "space": 4 }, ["checkout-v2"] ],
+       "scenes": {
+         "checkout-v1": { "rows": [["cart", "payment", "confirm"]] },
+         "checkout-v2": { "rows": [["cart", "payment", "confirm"]] } } },
+     "nodes": [ { "frame": "archive/routines-guided" },
+                { "frame": "checkout-v1/cart" }, { "frame": "checkout-v1/payment" }, { "frame": "checkout-v1/confirm" },
+                { "frame": "checkout-v2/cart" }, { "frame": "checkout-v2/payment" }, { "frame": "checkout-v2/confirm" } ] }
+   ```
+4. **Now do the round on the live scene**, in place - the snapshot is the
+   before. Keep each anchored element's tag, `data-testid` and visible text
+   where you can, so pins self-heal; when a change must remove an anchored
+   element, reply and close that thread FIRST, then make the change (resolve
+   first, restructure second). Reply per thread with one line: what changed,
+   and that `v<N>` is on the archive board. Who closes the thread depends on
+   how the work arrived: from the CLI queue (`comments list --open`), you
+   resolve with `--addressed-in <scene>/<frame>`; from a comment-born jam job,
+   you never resolve - the owner does (instructions/jam.md).
+
+Never wait for the human to ask for this. They should be able to say "make the
+cards denser", "drop the sidebar", "try a warmer palette" three times in a row
+and know every state is one board away: rollback is a copy back, the archive
+bands are the proof of work they show a collaborator, and the before/after of
+every comment is visible on the canvas rather than buried in a diff.
+
+**Git rides along.** At the first snapshot of a session, offer once: "I'll commit
+each version to git as well - ok?" If yes, two commits per version, staging ONLY
+the paths the round touched (never `git add design` wholesale - the human may
+have work in flight there; never a push):
+`git add design/scenes/<scene>-v<N> design/boards/archive.json && git commit -m "design(<scene>): v<N> snapshot"`
+and, after the round, `git add design/scenes/<scene> design/boards design/comments && git commit -m "design(<scene>): <the round, in a few words>"`.
+Not a git repo, or the human declines: the archive board alone carries it.
+
+Choosing between the two: one frame, one competing direction → a letter. A round
+→ a version. They compose - a version can hold a variant run.
