Episode 3's hidden page is the folder the agent would not open. Five frames of a torn terminal card at 29:47 give the address; the page shows the folder as it is, in the world, with no explanation: a journal, letters never sent, a cat, a recital, Episode 1's painted-out cabin and a watermelon log.

Every line on this page is drawn from the lore: 153 sheets and 8,338 lines of Markdown in Aaron's series repo, each with exactly one tier. Change a line there and run lore.py publish, and every page of this course follows (this copy: built 23 October 2026 from 3ab0458).

Sources are in braces: {E2 25:20} is Episode 2 at 25:20, {E4 S17} a scene, {Aaron 2026-10-22} a decision of Aaron's. “edit” opens the line in the series repo, which is private: it works for Aaron and the crews; the sources are everyone's. Everything that isn't steel is free to change.
