This is a desk simulation, not a classroom trial or report of child outcomes. The author walked educator, learner and evidence-review routes through the written scripts and actual A4 pages.

Lens Concrete rehearsal and finding Adjustment or open gate
Educator, Day 12 Hold the figure/box fixed, cover box with broad screen, then slide screen away. B page depicts both states with the screen visibly blocking the box. Six stages total 25 minutes. Narrate what is visible, not how a viewer must feel.
Quiet child route, Day 14 Point to two numbered cue/reveal scores; choose one without sound, touch or acting. The child can direct a neutral adult to move a card. Paper score records devising choice only; live timing remains unobserved.
Educator, Day 17 Place broad figure outside a fixed stage border, move it inside after a slow card cue. F page depicts outside/inside with a bold boundary. Actual movement requires space/access and child consent; no running or crossing a real hazard.
Learner, Check I New depot page provides separate covered parcel and striped cue plus empty numbered boxes. The required order is read aloud but no solution is pictured. Neutral adult records first placement; do not pre-place cue.
Learner, Check J New kiosk page depicts start (outside figure, screened token) and leaves end frame empty. Cue is separate. Partial responses can show one of entrance/reveal even if the other is missing. Key separates features. The two-beat challenge may need more than one session for some children; do not hurry.
Assessor Compare QCAA devising vs observed performance/response. A paper score can show child planning; enacted voice/movement, maker encounter and real willing audience require separate observed evidence. Hold any unobserved claim rather than treating puppet direction as child performance.
Funder/public reviewer Nine original printable pages and two separately keyed checks are traceable, openly usable and have an exact source/rights boundary. No impact, translation, full-year coverage, community endorsement or classroom validation claim.

Print QA: All nine A4 SVG/PDF pages were rendered and visually inspected at page scale; the diagrams depict prop/screen/cue/position changes independently of their labels. Exact text/tactile builds carry the same order and visibility information. Classroom pilot, local enactment safety, real maker clearance, consent and observed audience remain open human gates.

Asset maintenance: Rebuild original A4 aids with python3 generate_assets.py --write. Audit the pack without edits using python3 verify_pack.py. After an intentional source edit, inspect the changed materials, run python3 verify_pack.py --write-manifest, then run the read-only check again.
