Reserved
Eligible physical items are atomically locked to the pool before selection.
Vault Nine
Vault Nine is ArcTrove's fixed-reserve selection mode. Nine eligible, unique physical IDs are locked, concealed under a precommitted deterministic permutation, and presented as display slots. The customer's chosen slot resolves through that committed mapping to the physical item they receive.
The 9 / 1 / 8 rule
The reserve is fixed for that selection event. Every participating unit has a unique physical inventory identity.
Eligible physical items are atomically locked to the pool before selection.
The customer picks one concealed display slot; its committed physical mapping is resolved and assigned.
The non-selected physical items leave this pool and remain individually accounted for.
What the mode does
Before the choice, a deterministic seed process commits a permutation that maps the nine display slots to the nine live reserved physical IDs. The customer then chooses a display slot. The already-committed mapping resolves that slot to one inventory ID, which moves into the buyer's vault as one atomic state change.
Availability
Making the mode easy to understand does not make it available for purchase. Its production feature flag remains off.
