|
## Route
|
|
|
|
- Hidden route: `/internal/pdi-bundle-7c4f`
|
|
- Discovery points on the stock page:
|
|
- Stimulus controller source for the stock page (`listing_puzzle_controller`)
|
|
- Optional hidden hint drawer after clicking the Forecourt logo 5 times (the drawer renders the controller's stored path at runtime)
|
|
|
|
## Stage 1
|
|
|
|
- Location: main image caption on the stock page
|
|
- Visible clue: `Photo set 03 // ingest note JHDU // something seems shifted.`
|
|
- Solve method: Caesar shift back by 3
|
|
- Answer: `GEAR`
|
|
|
|
## Stage 2
|
|
|
|
- Location: "Factory options" table
|
|
- Visible hint: `The stock sheet is longer than the original order form. Check the verified items carefully.`
|
|
- Solve method:
|
|
- use only the rows verified from `Order form`
|
|
- then take the first letter of each option name in top-to-bottom order
|
|
- Aluminium look fuel cap
|
|

## Stage 3
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
- Encoded value: `VFVSQk8=`
|
|
- Solve method: Base64 decode
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Stage 4
|
|
|
|
- Location: "Inspection notes" card
|
|
- Visible hint: `The workshop printout is still shown newest first. Only the notes filed into the final inspection bundle share the same base code, and the service desk phone still uses the old multi-tap keypad labels.`
|
|
- Note references:
|
|
- `OBS-17-09` (`Advisory`, ignore this row)
|
|
- `INS-88-52`
|
|
- `INS-88-73`
|
|
- `INS-88-21`
|
|
- `INS-88-71`
|
|
- Solve method:
|
|
- use only the notes marked `Filed`
|
|
- ignore the one advisory entry with a different base code
|
|
- the card is shown newest first, so read the filed notes from oldest to newest
|
|
- decode the final two digits as classic mobile keypad `key + tap count`
|
|
- 71 = P (`7` pressed once)
|
|
- 21 = A (`2` pressed once)
|
|
- 73 = R (`7` pressed three times)
|
|
- 52 = K (`5` pressed twice)
|
|
- Answer: `PARK`
|

## Admin behavior
|
|
|
|
- `GET /internal/pdi-bundle-7c4f` shows the login prompt
|
|
- The login prompt tells solvers to use the words in page order
|
|
- Entering `GEAR-AXLE-TURBO-PARK` unlocks the fake admin panel
|
|
- The panel is session-backed only and can be cleared with the "Clear admin session" button
