War of Illusions: Double Agents

I just arrived at what seems to be the end of my part in the War of Illusions in Mahogany Hall; I was a double agent and I planned to become connected with both Glass and Shroud at 20. I built up Shroud first, I didn't sabotaged the Glass. Since when I decided to carry on the Shroud part the Glass options simply disappeared, and what's worst, I really wanted to make to the Glass ending since I wanted to know about the Fingerkings, also because of the last Exceptional Story!
Is the Glass path definitely banned for me now? I feel like I thrown away one of the key secrets my character (and myself) should know, and I'm feeling pretty bad.

We built Mahogany Hall five years ago just as we were realising the limitations of our original narrative design approaches. It's more brittle than we'd like, and it is on the rework list - but because it's complicated, it's stayed on the rework list for a long time.
We'll get to it, though, and probably fairly soon. We want to tell more stories about the War of Illusions, and we won't be able to do that until we've reworked Mahogany Hall. So if you're feeling stymied by the end of it, don't worry: there will be more options at some point.

We've discussed our evolving approaches a lot, but not specifically in regard to Mahogany Hall. Babel collated a lot of relevant posts here.

Be glad. Nothing good can come from getting too involved with the Glass.

I suppose the choice to "ignore distractions" and skip over the sabotage part of the story could be more clearly worded: if it had said something like "abandon the idea of being a double agent: forget the Glass and focus solely on your work with the Shroud" I imagine you wouldn't have picked it?
And if you were at the point where there were four such choices (sabotage the Glass, sabotage the Shroud, ignore the Glass and focus on the Shroud, ignore the Shroud and focus on the Glass) what would you have picked instead?
