+### T6 newcomer join eligibility — `tws_t6_join.gsc` `1.0.1`
+
+- Fix `t6/scripts/tws_t6_join.gsc` treating the initial T6 setup spawn as
+  gameplay, which rejected a new spectator's `.join` on Farm Survival round 3.
+  Wait for the stock delayed spectator transition, then record actual play.
+  Continue observing later spawns so waiting for the next round cannot grant
+  an extra life after death. Reject requests while a spawn is settling; a real
+  death during that window also permanently closes eligibility.
+- T5 is unchanged: its separate SP spawn flow and `self.initialized` guard
+  do not use T6's delayed game-mode spectator transition.
+- Compatibility: existing T6 common `1.0.0` or later; no new dependency
+  requirement. Deploy the updated join script to `storage/t6/scripts/zm/`
+  and restart the map. No full server-process restart is required.
+- Portable regression fixtures: `node tools/check_join.mjs`. Compilation and
+  live Plutonium validation remain required; no deployment was performed.
