# CINEMATIC ROLLOUT · FISTS AUDIT (I, 27 Oct)

Scope: the 25 fists FILMS (fists have no skins). Mid-rounds stay ≤ 3 s and are outside this audit; the mid ★ set (BLOWN PUPIL,
CROSS-COUNTER, JACKKNIFE) stays.

**Rule applied:**
- KEEP = serious, brutal and not gag-based (★ or strong).
- REBUILD = gag, comic or weak. The ★ gag kills (HIT ME, JACKPOT) are retired too, per the user's decision 2.
- **Result:** 9 KEEP, 16 REBUILD (64%).

## Retired keys

Until A's `def.retired` switch lands, these keys are hidden behind SHOW RETIRED unless they're rebuilt in their slot:
- one-punch, re-entry, stop-hitting-yourself, seven-points, one-inch
- freight-train, jackpot, monument, kidney-stones, up-top
- acid-reflux, hit-me, slam-dunk, hitchhiker

The two wave-1 slots keep their keys and get a new kill each:
- fists.knock-the-stuffing-out → CHASE
- fists.coconuts → ONE VS MANY

**Note:** D's 58k_w_fists.js entries are D's file. The retired flag on them goes through A's switch or the coordinator; I won't edit D's file.
