Booting drafts as deployed catches a server that stops when a setting is
empty, but the server's own output rarely says why, so the model guessed
(more memory) for three rounds and the draft ended as WIP.
When a draft fails with its defaults and has blank password-like settings
without x-generate, the builder boots it once more with those filled. If
that boot passes, the cause is certain, and the model is told exactly that:
these settings stop the server when empty; give them x-generate (a password
per server) or a working default.

Launch options must be documented. A draft passed an option its server
doesn't have; servers ignore unknown options, so it booted and passed every
boot test while its setting did nothing. build now reads the pages research
based the variant on, in full, and the drafter rejects any launch option in
the startup command that none of them, nor the image's own scripts, mention.
Shell tools' options (mkdir -p, [ -n ...]) are skipped; the check is off
without sources.
The builder is game-agnostic:
- AUTHORING.md (the model's rules), the research prompt and the schema
describe the rules without naming a game.
- The draft prompt no longer includes real templates from the repo. Its
format example is one invented server (no real command, options, ports or
app id), checked by TestExampleTemplateFollowsTheRules.
- Comments, help texts, BUILDER.md and test fixtures use invented names and
values.
- TestBuilderIsGameAgnostic reads every game's name and id from games/ and
fails if any appears in the builder's code, tests, rules, schemas or docs.

- research: searches SearXNG, reads the best pages through the reader, has the
model list the server's variants, then checks every Docker image and Steam
app it named for real before an admin sees it.
- build: first boot of the variant's images (skipping ones that need root),
a draft by the model, then the draft deployed with the node-agent's
BootTest like CI does; crashes, error lines and saves outside /server go
back to the model, three boots at most.
- worker: polls the panel's builder queue (outbound only), runs research or
build in a fresh clone, streams the output as the job log, and opens the
result as a pull request from the bot account.
- Dockerfile.builder, a workflow publishing gbr-builder:latest, and
BUILDER.md. Everything about where it runs comes from environment
variables; deployment files live outside this public repo.
draft now keeps its conversation in a drafter, so build can send boot
failures back to the same model session. The boot-test runner comment no
longer names its VM.
