Editorial review: 9 October 2026. Observation dates: 7–9 October 2026. The report windows below are distinct; later success does not rewrite an earlier restriction as a completed shift.

PARTIAL SHIFT, 7 OCTOBER
The original Banking role was Marketer Level 1. One observed work entrance was unavailable at 5:44 and available at 6:00 on the game clock, despite a separate 8:00–17:00 schedule label.
A completed Cab commute deducted 150 and a start message established the shift start. Starting did not establish income.
The early-departure panel progressed from No pay yet to a paid departure option. The completed partial receipt paid 2,900; performance moved 80%→90%; the role did not change. Work-only net was 2,900−150=2,750.
A guitar purchase elsewhere in the session was not a payroll deduction. The menu's 11,600 full-shift amount was not the received amount in this partial window. A fixed quarter-shift formula, minimum paid wait and general tax rule were not established.
Round 06 completion: 2026-10-07T05:33:37Z.

RESTRICTION AND CARD READS, 7–8 OCTOBER
Some Career reads said You've worked today while Jobs showed no Go to work or Next shift, despite Go automatically remaining checked. A later game-clock 12:02 AM read changed wording to You work today; a Jobs check at 12:05 AM still lacked the start entry.
These are distinct wording and availability readings, not a measured midnight reset or proof of automatic work.
The opened round 26 Next shift card displayed Today 8 AM, Marina Towers · Victoria Island, workdays 6 AM–10 PM and clock in by 9:30 AM for an early-bird boost. Cab 150 was only a quote. No trip, shift start or boost result occurred in that window.
Round 17 completion: 2026-10-07T16:41:39Z. Round 24 completion: 2026-10-07T23:15:15Z, with an 8 October-dated report. Round 26 completion: 2026-10-08T01:37:42Z.

COMPLETED BANKING SHIFT, 8 OCTOBER
Round 30 completed one full shift on the original character and career, received 11,600 after the 150 commute and explicitly promoted Marketer Level 1 to Relationship Officer Level 2. Work-only net was 11,450. The post-promotion performance reading was 45%.
Do Your Work was observed repeatedly after the first card read and modes were never changed. Work Like Jaguda was visible only. The receipt reported four tasks, one going well. Individual event answers, mode multipliers and fastest strategies were not established.
Observations bracketed the apparent shift at about 59m11s–62m02s. Exact activity duration and total eligibility wait were not measured; this is not an hourly-earnings benchmark.
Charisma 3→5 and stars 45→48 were observed over the completed run; separate sources of these gains and numeric experience were unisolated. Later recorded core fields were retained once. This does not resolve the older laptop failure or establish all Needs were identical.
Round 30 completion: 2026-10-08T07:08:19Z.

LATER MENU READING, 9 OCTOBER
Round 51 showed Rank 2 of 5, Relationship Officer IV, 45% performance, shifts 0/2, Charisma 5/3 and Lagos Rep 1/3. Round 53 freshly reread those rows without another completed shift or promotion.
The IV suffix was not an earned-promotion receipt. The displayed 21,000 wage was not received. Shifts and Rep rules remain unknown, and the older 100% target was not freshly read in this later window.
Round 51 completion: 2026-10-09T02:05:58Z. Round 53 completion: 2026-10-09T03:36:36Z.

Player use: inspect the actual available entrance and current requirement rows, record start and completed settlement separately, and subtract only costs within the named window. Calculator inputs remain scenarios until supported by a receipt.
