Random ideas for later integration. Not prioritized, not committed — just captured so they don't get lost.

Gameplay

• Kelsier's crew as an unlanded start — Play as a skaa thieving crew leader with no titles. Gameplay revolves around schemes, heists, and building a rebellion from nothing. Would need CK3 unlanded character support or a workaround (minor barony, adventurer mechanic).

Mechanics

• Testing decisions per milestone — Create temporary debug decisions gated behind a debug_mode game rule for each milestone. These let us force specific game states for testing (e.g., "Set Lord Ruler Attention to 80," "Trigger Snapping on Target," "Spawn Inquisitor," "Set Caste Law to Relaxed," "Unlock Age of Liberation," "Kill Kelsier"). Ship them in a separate common/decisions/99_debug_decisions.txt that gets removed (or gated behind a hidden game rule) before Steam release. Each milestone doc should specify which debug decisions are needed for its testing checkpoints.
