Human-tested: provinces show correct culture/religion, decision menu
clean, character sheet correct, 5-year playthrough with no crashes.
305 mod-related log entries are all expected (303 vanilla cascade,
2 unused variables).

All 7 implementation tasks pass. All 7 static validation checks pass.
ck3-tiger: 0 fatal, 0 errors, 0 untidy. In-game testing remains as
the final step.

Added two new gotchas to the modding reference:
- Modifier icons must use common/modifier_icons/ indirection (bare
names, not full DDS paths) to avoid doubled-path resolution
- on_game_start events must use scope=none with every_living_character
for character initialization
Also added modifier_icons directory to the directory layout tree and
two rows to the Common Pitfalls table.

Add Localization Gotchas section covering hard-won lessons:
religion custom loc mapping blocks, trait double-prefix keys,
name list name loc, county adjective keys, culture extra keys,
and province history for total conversions. Also add 3 entries
to the Common Pitfalls table.

Make gameplay testing instructions more explicit — Claude Code
cannot launch CK3 or interact with the UI, so the test script
must clearly describe what the human player needs to do. Add
guidance on game speed and what to look for.

Point M3 (tasks 3.1, 3.3, 3.4), M5 (task 5.3), and M6 (task 6.1)
to the new character lore profiles in docs/bookmarks/the end of an
empire/characters/. Add design docs section to MASTERPLAN current
state noting the 19 character profiles and index exist.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
19 character profiles plus an index/glossary for the 1020.1.1
bookmark cast. Each file documents lore summary, personality,
CK3 trait mapping, starting conditions, relationships, and
mechanical notes.
Canonical characters: Lord Ruler, Kelsier's crew (10), Venture
family (2), Shan Elariel, Kar. Four Great House heads (Hasting,
Lekal, Erikeller, Tekiel) are extrapolated from canonical house
lore and clearly marked as such.

MASTERPLAN current state reflects M1 complete, M2 ~85% done with
full inventory of what exists and what's missing. REQUIRED_ASSETS
adds completion tracking table (92/230+ assets, ~40%). Events
registry status corrected from "none implemented" to reflect M2
events and completed modifier icons/backgrounds. REVIEW_NOTES
resolves WARNING-01 (pillars), WARNING-05 (attention unified),
WARNING-06/07 (trigger distinctions), WARNING-08 (religion family),
updates NOTE-02 (province IDs), and corrects summary counts.

Add Gender Doctrine group to M3 task 3.8 with three options:
male_preference (Steel Ministry), equal (Survivorism, Terris),
irrelevant (Cult of Ruin). Women can hold titles, serve in
council, and wield Allomancy in all faiths — only inheritance
order is affected. Add gender preference to M4 government types.
Remove integrated ideas from IDEAS.md (unlanded crew → M5,
debug decisions → TESTING.md).

Create docs/TESTING.md with debug game rule, debug decisions per
milestone, log analysis commands, pre-launch validation script,
post-run analysis script, and Claude Code testing capabilities.
Add cross-reference to TESTING.md in each milestone's Testing
Checkpoints section (M1-M8).

Expand M3 with custom education system (5 tracks × 4 tiers), dynasty
legacies (5 universal + 10 house-specific), custom death reasons (12),
and character nicknames (~15). Expand M4 with custom government types
(3), factions (5), vassal contracts (6 terms), secret types (8), hooks
(3), court types (3), and portrait modifier system (10 triggers).
Update MASTERPLAN scope to reflect all new systems.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Expand milestone docs with several major new systems:
M3: Religion overhaul — 12 custom tenets (3 per faith), 2 custom
doctrine groups (Allomantic Stance, Caste Doctrine), expanded holy
sites (~10, differentiated by faith, with conditional sites),
tradition condition fixes, dead parameter cleanup. New task 3.11:
Steel Inquisitor holy order + individual Inquisitor request mechanic,
Keeper Network secret society with progression and discovery risk.
M4: Council retheme (5 positions with 10 custom tasks), 7 court
positions (Royal Court), legend system suppression, caste law system
(3 tiers: Strict/Relaxed/Abolished with cross-caste consequence
events), innovation system (Age of the Lord Ruler pre-unlocked +
Age of Liberation locked behind lord_ruler_fallen flag).
M5: Band council with 7 crew roles, vacancy penalties, ~14 role
events, and 5 band tasks. Each crew member's Allomantic ability
enhances their assigned role.
M7: Advanced council interactions (~25 events) — kandra courtier
replacement, Court Smoker vs Seeker duels, Obligator Witness
betrayal, Terris Steward Keeper reveal. Post-endgame choice: seize
the throne or release the kingdoms. Variable standardized to
lord_ruler_fallen across all docs.

Break the MASTERPLAN into 8 milestone documents (M1-M8) with a
standard template. Each milestone includes prerequisites, current
state assessment, numbered implementation tasks with file references,
testing checkpoints, acceptance criteria, and risk analysis.
