chore(meta): plan Sprint 34: Pulse

Close Phase 2 — wire econ-sim into game server tick loop, expose price
history and trade flows via implant insert panel, add economics debug
console commands for runtime event injection and parameter mutation.

New tickets: #821 (server tick integration), #822 (IPC bridge v21),
#823 (debug command handler), #824 (economics insert panel),
#825 (debug console econ commands). Existing: #810, #785, #811, #748,
#814, #695. 11 tickets total across server, client, copy, planning.

# Sprint 34: Pulse — Copy Tasks
**Goal:** Close Phase 2 — wire the economics simulation into the live game, expose price history and trade flows in the implant, and make the economy observable and tweakable at runtime.
**Branch:** `sprint-34/copy`
**Agents:** Mellanie (author), Paula (narrative)
## New Tickets
| # | Title | Blocked by |
|---|-------|------------|
| #814 | Rail infrastructure corporation gap | — |
| #695 | Author overheard conversations for remaining 24 zone types | — |
## Key Decisions
- `decisions/economics.md` — D-182 (TOML source of truth — all economics content lives in `wiki/economics/`), D-175 (corporation taxonomy — Tier 1/2/3 structure)
- `decisions/content.md` — D-142 (zone-type template architecture — 31 zone types defined), D-139 (composable behavior primitives — overheard conversations are Layer 2 cultural flavor)
## Notes
### #814 — Rail infrastructure corporation gap
**Context:** The corporation validation pipeline (`tooling/economy-db/import_economics.py`) flagged a gap: no existing wiki corporation produces the `rail_infrastructure` commodity. This is a lore-world gap as much as a data gap — rail is the primary intra-continental transit system on inhabited worlds (see `decisions/architecture.md` D-093 for Sova Transit context, `wiki/economics/production_chains.toml` for chain definitions).
**Deliverable:** Either (a) assign `rail_infrastructure` production to an existing Tier 1 or Tier 2 corporation (MVG — Marvian Gravity Works — is the most plausible candidate given its Tier 1 infrastructure mandate) or (b) create a new corporation if no existing corp fits. Update:
- `wiki/economics/corporations.toml` — add production entry
- Corresponding wiki corporation page (if new corp: `wiki/corporations/<name>.md`)
- Verify `make economy-db` passes after the change
Do not assign to a Tier 3 regional corp — rail infrastructure is a systemic commodity that should have Tier 1 or Tier 2 backing.
### #695 — Overheard conversations for remaining 24 zone types
**Context:** `server/content/global/overheard.ron` currently covers 5 of 29 zone types (~17% coverage). The remaining 24 types need 2-4 role-pair conversations each. These are the passive ambient dialogue lines that play when NPCs are overheard by the player without direct engagement (D-078).
**Format:** Each conversation entry in `overheard.ron` follows the existing pattern — two role slugs, a setting line (terse, 1 sentence describing where/when), and 3-5 lines of dialogue. Lines should feel naturalistic for the zone type; the NPC pair should be plausible co-workers or passers-by given the zone's economic activity.
**Zone types to cover:** Check `server/content/global/zone-types/` for the full list. Currently covered: the 5 types already in `overheard.ron` (verify by reading the file). Write 2-4 conversations per remaining zone type. Prioritize the zone types most likely to be visited first in a playthrough: `residential_dense`, `commercial_retail`, `transit_hub`, `office_district`, `industrial_light`.
**Lore anchors:** Use the wiki cultural pages (`wiki/cultures/`) for voice and slang. Zone types that map to specific planetary environments (agricultural, wilderness) should reflect the relevant culture. Avoid generic SF clichés — these lines should feel like they belong in the Reach.
**Volume:** 24 zone types × 3 conversations average × 4 lines each = ~288 lines total. Work zone-type by zone-type; commit partial coverage. Do not block on completing all 24 before committing.
## Dependency Chain
```
#814 (rail corp gap) — standalone
#695 (overheard conversations) — standalone, parallel
```
Both tickets are independent and can run in parallel.
