# RLE Castle: The Faire — development preview

**Release:** 2026-10-31 · Presentation preview 0.1.0, not a version of the executable.

This page is a development showcase, not a browser-playable release or a new evaluation result. It is separate from the ten experiment instruments on the homepage.

## Provenance

One shared screenshot of the Faire window supplies the public image. Its precise build revision and capture time are not established. See `provenance.json` for the source hash, rectangular crop, encoding and output hash. The full desktop screenshot is NOT published. Desktop, chat and notification overlays were excluded before resizing.

Josh reported playing the improved footrace on October 31. That first-person feedback is credited as such. The current local executable was not accessed or tested by this publication pass. The richer footrace visual with uncertain capture provenance is not represented as gameplay evidence. Neither the October 18 rejected prototype nor the rejected car-racing screen is used.

Descriptions of the larger adventure, agent interfaces and research questions are design intent. No game build, private source, saves, credentials, personal desktop paths or internal conversation archives are uploaded.

## Checks

`python projects/rle-castle/test_preview.py` checks the public crop hash, local assets, image loading, readable mobile layout, navigation and the existing homepage instrument count. These are author-run website checks, not independent game validation.

User visual review and independent Rinball inspection remain separate from deployment checks.
