Scope: Stage-local catalog for Earth, compact selector 3 / native stage ID 3. Shared record grammar, resource notation, evidence labels, and safety rules are owned by Stage catalogs.

• Static-confirmed: all 20 ordinary pickup records are decoded from the clean USA N64 ROM.
• Static-confirmed: Earth ordinary-pickup visuals resolve through global file 0x30, whose 21-entry selector table and pickup-used bundles are cataloged below. The previous file-0x88 pickup-resource mapping is Rejected / superseded.
• Runtime-confirmed, v38: all three Earth key visuals from file 0x30 render correctly when imported into TEST LAB through the Fire destination-resource architecture; the tested Earth key awards correctly in inventory.
• Runtime-confirmed: the all-eight-stage persistence validation collected/restored a representative Earth ordinary pickup. The 20 Earth records have not been individually exhausted one by one in runtime testing.
• Earth's three stage key pickups use stage-qualified overlay callback VA 0x802F52B0; this address is Earth-overlay evidence, not a globally resident callback identity.

The Earth ordinary-pickup resource file is global file ID 0x30, not file 0x88. File 0x88 is the separate MONK1 fighter resource and is loaded into fighter-resource slot 0x801AE470.

The Earth stage setup allocates file 0x30, publishes that allocation through the ordinary-pickup resource-base slot 0x802E82B8 at 0x8000EA58, then raw-loads file 0x30 at 0x8000EA5C. This is the base consumed by the ordinary pickup selector path.

Superseded mapping: the former catalog entry that treated file 0x88 (0x006BAEC0..0x006DD46F, size 0x225B0) as the Earth ordinary-pickup resource is rejected. That file is MONK1 fighter data. The v34-v37 TEST LAB line exposed the error directly: importing selectors 0..2 from file 0x88 produced/hung on monk imagery rather than Earth icons.

Empty slots 4,5,7,9 are logical selector capacity only. They do not prove free physical storage.

The three ordinary Earth keys are normal 8-frame embedded Type-4 bundles in file 0x30. This is the format used by the successful cross-stage v38 proof.

All 24 key images have native image type 4. The v34-v37 Type-5/monk interpretation is superseded because those proofs read selectors 0..2 from the wrong global file (0x88).

• All 20 ordinary 0x30-byte pickup records remain correct and contiguous at the existing overlay addresses.
• Earth progression metadata remains stage-local: Four Squares requires Square; Triangle requires Four Squares; later location requirements remain as listed in the ordinary-pickup table.
• Checkpoint/progression static split (2026-09-29): native callback 0x802F52B0 creates pickup-time checkpoint state only for parameter 0 / Earth Square: direct 0x80062D60 request at ROM 0xE1034 and selector-2 store at 0xE1044. Parameters 1/2 instead update live overlay state 0x802F5520 / 0x802F5E22, both independently read elsewhere and therefore preserved. Permanent item-use handlers 0x800720F0 / 0x8007213C / 0x80072188 commit progression bits separately. Minimal Square-only checkpoint candidate NOPs 0xE1034 and 0xE1044. Static-confirmed; runtime Pending.
• Earth selector/location ownership closure (2026-10-01, Static-confirmed): Earth raw overlay file 0x9C (ROM [0xD8B90,0xE1B80), runtime base 0x802ECE30) has direct absolute selector writers for 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8. Selector 2 is the Square pickup callback store at ROM 0xE1044; selector 3 is committed by a later Earth progression sequence after 0x802C0D54 & 0x01; selector 5 is a separate physical/scripted checkpoint event; selector 6 is committed by a later progression sequence after 0x802C0D54 & 0x02 and its stock path already skips the write when current selector is >=6; selector 8 belongs to a later Earth set-piece completion path. Selector 4 is established by a separate Earth scripted transition/process and is recognized explicitly on re-entry. Selector 7 is owned by permanent routine 0x8003B004, which first requires native stage 3 and current selector exactly 6 before writing 7 and spawning the checkpoint process. Direct Earth readers also test selector ranges such as <3, <4, ==4, <5, <6, <7, and >=7, confirming 0x802C18F8 is live Earth world/scene state rather than a respawn-only value.
• Accepted Earth destination-wrapper rule (2026-10-01): logical Earth Square / Four Squares / Triangle rewards are checkpoint-free. Of the three ordinary Earth key locations, only the stock Square physical location directly owns a checkpoint selector transition. Under randomization that location retains destination-owned checkpoint target 2, but the wrapper must be monotonic: if current Earth selector is below 2, commit absolute selector 2 and request checkpoint presentation; if current selector is already 2 or later, award the randomized logical reward but do not lower the selector or replay the checkpoint. Four Squares and Triangle do not own 0x802C18F8 transitions; their Earth-local state writes remain destination-owned. Do not generalize max(current,target) to native scripted selectors 3..8, which retain their stock prerequisites/order guards. Runtime update (2026-10-01): TEST LAB remaining-key no-checkpoint v01 Runtime-confirms checkpoint-free logical awards for Square / Four Squares / Triangle with correct inventory identity. The product rule is closed: Earth key pickup itself must not create a checkpoint. The live local states 0x802F5520 / 0x802F5E22 remain destination/progression state and must be preserved separately where required.
• The ordinary pickup visual selector is resolved against file 0x30 through the current-stage resource pointer at 0x802E82B8.
• File 0x88 remains valid Earth-stage evidence for MONK1/enemy work only; it is not the pickup visual catalog.
• v34-v36 Mission Objective hangs and v37 monk/glitched imagery are now explained by the wrong donor file. They are retained as negative controls, not as evidence that Earth keys use an exotic pickup format.
• Runtime-confirmed, v38: all three real Earth key visuals imported into TEST LAB through the destination-native Fire resource architecture, displayed correctly, retained their native animation, and the tested Earth key award appeared correctly in inventory. The native Herbs control remained correct.
• Difficulty-gated wall-spike result (2026-10-05): Runtime-confirmed bounded. In the inventory-HUD proof line, the photographed horizontal climbing-wall spikes were inactive at difficulty value 2; an otherwise identical control changing only ROM 0x000A6BA8 from 0002 to 0004 made them active. Static trace at Earth VA 0x802F078C contains a difficulty-dependent path that terminates its current process through 0x80028564 when the copied difficulty is below 3. This supports a native difficulty gate, but the exact process identity is not promoted to a universal "all Earth hazards" rule and difficulty 3 was not separately runtime-tested.
• Earth is therefore closed as a cross-stage ordinary-item visual donor family at the bounded v38 scope. The next global-materializer gates are generalized checkpoint-safe award semantics, composed foreign-key masking, Fortress destination stress/capacity, and production allocation/composition.

• Stage catalogs — shared schema, notation, safety rules, and eight-stage index.
• Data structures and encodings — ordinary 0x30-byte record grammar.
• Resource and overlay system — global file-table, loader, overlay, and selector/resource grammar.
• Memory and allocation map — literal ROM/RDRAM ownership and lifecycle.
• Address and patch-site registry — exact guarded patch sites.
• Pickups and stage-local randomization — current production ordinary-pickup behavior and modeled Earth dependencies.
• Global item materialization and solvability — generalized cross-stage materializer/solver rules, not Earth-local resource claims.
• Persistence, inventory, and lifecycle — collected-state persistence and stage-transition lifecycle.
