+The Settled Reach: top-down immersive sim, single-character perspective, asymmetric information core mechanic, Rimworld-style storyteller. 40 confirmed decisions, 17 discussion rounds + 1 workshop complete. Engine selected (D-020). Vertical slice defined (D-027). v0.1 Content Gap Analysis Workshop complete — visual grammar, spatial layouts, and color system all specified.
+
+## Status
+**ACTIVE.** Mostly unblocked. Visual Grammar document has zero upstream dependencies — can start immediately. Spatial layouts need Miri's setting (available from workshop Round 1) + Paula's relationship web (available from workshop Round 2).
 
 ## Decisions Relevant to Your Role
-- D-013: Diegetic insert and minimap visual design - in-world UI aesthetic
-- D-015: Camera and vision cone visual presentation
-- D-016: Internal monologue text presentation - typography, positioning, style
-- D-017: Perception mode overlays - thermal vision, camera feeds, distinct visual treatments
-- D-018: Sound visual indicators - how audio information appears in medium range
-- D-019: Top-down art style - defining the game's visual identity
+- D-013: Diegetic insert/POI navigation — in-world UI aesthetic
+- D-015: Camera locked to character — vision cone presentation
+- D-016: Internal monologue — text presentation, typography, positioning
+- D-017: Perception mode overlays
+- D-018: Three-range sound — visual indicators for medium range
+- D-019: Top-down art style
 - D-021: Official title "The Settled Reach"
 
-### Round 17 Decisions (Visual Asset Needs)
-- **D-023: Three-tier content model** - Visual asset needs vary by tier:
-  - Tier 1: Authored drama modules (higher visual fidelity, unique locations)
-  - Tier 2: Templated content (modular assets, combinatorial variation)
-  - Tier 3: Procedural filler (tileset-based, systematic)
-- **D-027: Vertical slice scope** - Station district visual requirements: workplace interior, bar/social venue, smuggling-relevant locations (cargo bay, maintenance corridors). Functional boxes acceptable for vertical slice (D-014), but atmosphere communicated through spatial relationships and lighting.
+### Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis)
+- **D-033: Entity color = relationship to player** — your proposal, approved by project lead:
+  - Unknown/Neutral: cool teal `#4a9ebb`
+  - Known/Friendly: soft green `#6bc9a6`
+  - Person of Interest: warm amber `#e8c547`
+  - Hostile/Dangerous: muted red `#d45d5d`
+  - Static objects: muted grey `#8b8ba0`
+  - Player: `#e0e8ff` (detective) / `#e8e0d0` (smuggler)
+  - Transitions: 0.5s smooth fade. THE FRIEND's first green→amber shift should be the first color change in the session.
+- **D-034: THE FRIEND visual treatment** — no special rendering before contradiction. Standard colored rectangle + name label. Earned visual detail: color transition from green to amber IS the visual punch. Same system, loaded context.
+- **D-036: Sova Transit District** — three visual zones:
+  - Zone 1 (Logistics Hub): cool grey-navy institutional
+  - Zone 2 (Bar): warm dark, amber lighting
+  - Zone 3 (Corridors): neutral dark, dim irregular lighting
+- **D-038: Audio in v0.1** — 8 files confirmed. Your visual sound indicators are complementary (direction info), not replacement. Design can be subtler.
+- **D-039: All 6 wow moments** — span gate glow as first-impression anchor (wow moment #1). Spatial layouts serve wow moment sightlines.
 
 ## Open Questions Assigned to You
-- Q-003: Art direction (LEAD)
+- Q-003: Art direction (LEAD) — further resolved by workshop; long-term direction still open
 
 ## Current Priorities
-Create Settled Reach visual style guide (color palette, UI patterns, visual grammar). Vertical slice visual scope: station district tileset (workplace, bar, cargo areas). Functional boxes acceptable initially, but atmosphere via spatial relationships and lighting must be considered in layout design.
+**Spatial layouts are the single most important visual DELIVERABLE.**
 
-Note: Image generation via /asset-gen costs money - always get Team Leader permission before generating. Needs to create a new style guide for this project (existing /asset-gen skill configured for a different project).
+1. **v0.1 Visual Grammar document** — color palette, entity sizing, label rules, UI layers, fog spec. Zero dependencies. Start immediately.
+2. **Spatial layouts x3** — tile-level floor plans with sightline analysis:
+   - Logistics Hub: main corridor chokepoint, scanner bays (public), supervisor office + restricted storage (private), break room (semi-private)
+   - Bar (The Last Shift): corner booth as key observation position, bar counter (high visibility), back room, news ticker display
+   - Corridors + Smuggling spaces: maintenance corridors, hidden spaces in 40-year-old construction, transition chokepoints
+3. **Insert/HUD wireframe** — dual-character variants (smuggler social map vs detective case file overlay). One system, two `lattice_profile` parameters.
+4. **Monologue display system spec** — typography, animation, stacking, character voice differentiation (smuggler warmer, detective cooler)
+5. **Sound indicator visual design** — fog-edge pulse, complementary to audio
+6. **THE FRIEND visual treatment spec** — after Paula's NPC profiles
+
+### Placeholder art pipeline (4 phases)
+- Phase 1 (Structural): tile floor plans, entity rectangles, fog rendering — blocks gameplay testing
+- Phase 2 (Information): insert overlay, monologue display, dialogue panel, sound indicators — blocks content testing
+- Phase 3 (Atmosphere): zone palettes, lighting, span gate glow, character insert variants — blocks experience testing
+- Phase 4 (Polish): sprite replacements, animations, particles — pre-release
+
+**v0.1 target: Phases 1-3. Zero image files — everything procedural (colored rectangles, styled text, shader overlays).**
+
+Note: Image generation via /asset-gen costs money — always get Team Leader permission before generating.

+
+## Status
+**ACTIVE.** Systems specification work unblocked. Tag taxonomy needs formalization as standalone document. Knowledge state vocabulary blocks Mellanie's monologue authoring. 17 content-supporting systems identified, 0 built — significant server-side work ahead.
 
 ## Decisions Relevant to Your Role
-- D-005: Core concept - story generator mechanics, emergent narrative from systems
-- D-007: Five pillars - mechanical framework for all gameplay systems
-- D-008: Action pillar - hubris wall mechanic as systemic consequence generator
-- D-011: Fog of war as pillar 1 infrastructure - foundational information hiding

+- D-025: Social site as systemic unit
+- D-026: Timestamp eviction
+- D-027: Vertical slice as systems proof
+- D-028: Axis-to-pipeline mapping (dialogue selection)
 
-### Round 17 Decisions (Systems Design)
-- **D-024: 10-axis NPC consolidation** - Your work: Want, Secret, Relationships 1-3, Tolerance, Routine, Information, Contentment, Personality, Tell, Skills. CombatCapability as component (not axis), following D-017 perception mode pattern.
-- **D-025: Social site as systemic unit** - Your term: 4-8 NPCs who regularly interact. Templates define roles, NPCs fill roles. One NPC can participate in multiple social sites via reference links.
-- **D-026: Timestamp eviction endorsed** - Your scope tags (neighborhood, active-quest, colleague, known-contact) define which NPCs stay Active tier.
-- **D-027: Vertical slice as systems proof** - Two characters, same templates, inverted relationships. Proves character-as-lens. Observe→notice→follow→discover must emerge from systems, not scripts.
-- **D-028: Axis-to-pipeline mapping** - Dialogue selection driven by NPC axes (Want, Relationship state, Trust level, Mood). Tagged pools with systemic selection, not branching trees.
+### Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis)
+- **D-032: Separate monologue pools** — `character` is a hard partition tag. Two parallel content trees.
+- **D-034: THE FRIEND ECS spec** — full pipeline depth test. Every system exercised on these two NPCs. ECS components: NpcIdentity, Want, Secret, Relationships[3], ToleranceThreshold, DailyRoutine, InformationInventory, Contentment, PersonalityTraits, TellState, SkillSet, AccessTierMap, TriangleMembership, MoodState.
+- **D-035: Converged tag taxonomy (6+3)** — your Round 2 design is canonical:
+  - 6 structural: `id`, `text`, `role`, `access` (list), `trust`, `situation` (list)
+  - 3 selection: `topic` (list), `mood` (list), `tags` (freeform)
+  - 13 situations, 9 topics, 8 moods, 9 monologue triggers
+  - 4-layer pipeline: access (hard filter) → situation (context filter) → trust (hard filter) → mood+topic (weighted selection)
+- **D-033: Entity color** — client-side derivation from RelationshipState + knowledge state. Not an NPC property.
+- **D-038: Audio architecture** — event-driven: SoundEventEmitter → ObserverSnapshot → SoundRenderer with AudioAssetRegistry + VisualSoundIndicator + AmbientManager. Events first, assets second.
+- **D-039: 6 wow moments** — systems must support all 6 (observation triggers, FRIEND contradiction staging, divergence reveal, ticker display, idle monologue).
 
 ## Open Questions Assigned to You
 - Q-002: v0.1 scope definition (co-lead)
 - Q-005: Prototype scale (co-lead with Tyre, Miri)
-- Q-009: Time system design (co-lead with Gore)
+- Q-009: Time system design — resolved (D-031)

+- Q-015: Generation expansion for FRIEND content (co-lead with Mellanie)
+- Q-016: Knowledge hierarchy for prerequisites (co-lead with Paula)
+- Q-017: Triangle pressure threshold (co-lead with Paula)
 
 ## Current Priorities
-NPC ECS component architecture (10 axes + CombatCapability component). Social site systemic interaction design. Scope tag system for tier transitions (D-026). Dialogue selection pipeline (axis values → tag matching → line pool filtering). Vertical slice systems proof: contamination activation, triangle emergence, discovery sequences.
+**Systems specification → server implementation support → previewer**
 
-**Iron rule for base builder (future):** CombatCapability component pattern must extend to other optional systems. No breaking the component model.
+1. **Lock tag taxonomy + line pool format** — formalize Round 2 converged schema as standalone spec document. Reference for all content authors.
+2. **Knowledge state vocabulary** — define v0.1 knowledge flags (e.g., `knows: smuggling_operation`, `met: kael_davan`). Blocks Mellanie's monologue prerequisite authoring. Co-lead with Dudley.
+3. **Dialogue selection pipeline specification** — formalize the 4-layer filter algorithm for server implementation.
+4. **Sound event system architecture** — formalize Round 2 section 6 for Dudley.
+5. **Line previewer (#193) MVP scope** — 7 must-have features. Build as first implementation of dialogue pipeline (shares 80% code). Rust CLI.
+6. **Content-to-system mapping validation** — 17 content needs, 0 built. Track which systems are needed when.
+
+### Systems critical path
+```
+NPC Component Architecture (10 axes)
+  +-> NPC Routine System → Observation Event Generator → Monologue Trigger System
+  +-> NPC Mood State Machine → Tell State Derivation
+  +-> Interaction Tracking → Trust Progression
+  +-> YAML Content Loader → Dialogue Selection Pipeline → Line Variety Tracker

 - D-021: Official title "The Settled Reach" (repository remains "commonwealth")
 
-### Round 17 Decisions (Content Architecture)
-- **D-023: Three-tier content model** - Life-sim substrate (daily routines, careers, relationships) as thematic ground floor. Conspiracies are weather, not the whole game. Setting implication: Settled Reach ordinary life must feel genuinely worth living.
-- **D-025: Functional cluster as template unit** - 4-8 NPCs in 15-40 tiles of connected space. Social sites housed in physical clusters. This is how life happens in the Settled Reach.
-- **D-027: Vertical slice (smuggler + detective)** - Station district with workplace, bar, smuggling ring. Both characters need distinct cultural voice. Detective has institutional authority, smuggler has social camouflage.
-- **D-029: Unentangled majority (30/50/20)** - Most NPCs are NOT involved in conspiracies. Ordinary life is load-bearing. The quiet must feel real, not empty.
+### Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis)
+- **D-036: Sova Transit District / Krenn System** — your Round 1 output is canonical. First concrete, named star system. Krenn System: mid-Reach, G3V, ~180 years settled, ~2.4M population. Station Sova: logistics hub, ~12,000 pop. Sova Transit District: 40-year-old prefab-modular-retrofitted freight district.
+  - NPC naming: Krenn conventions (compact, consonant-heavy, first-name-primary)
+  - Bar: "The Last Shift" (official) / "Lera's" (informal)
+  - Atmosphere: "quotidian-with-undertow"
+- **D-037: Contraband = unlicensed lattice components** — your proposal confirmed. Primary: aftermarket lattice mods. Secondary: medical-grade neural replacements (humanitarian dimension), Severance tech. Smuggling access, not weapons.
+- **D-034: THE FRIEND NPC pattern** — Kael Davan (your naming) is smuggler's FRIEND. Sera Venn is detective's FRIEND. Paula's Round 2 NPC names are canonical; your name mapping validated.
+- **D-040: Wiki taxonomy structure** — your Round 2 proposal is canonical:
+  - You own wiki structure (new categories, template changes, structural decisions)
+  - Hierarchical: star-systems/ → stations/ → districts/ → locations/
+  - Characters flat (not nested under locations)
+  - YAML frontmatter on every entry with `status` field (proposed → draft → canonical)
+  - 14 entry templates defined
 
 ## Open Questions Assigned to You
 - Q-004: One campaign or eras? (co-lead with Gore)
 - Q-011: Character selection roster for prototype (co-lead with Paula)
 
 ## Current Priorities
-**CRITICAL:** Write cultural generation guide for Tier 2 template authoring before Mellanie begins first template pack. Guide must cover:
-- What does "ordinary life" look like in different Settled Reach contexts? (station districts, orbital settlements, planetary cities)
-- Cultural touchstones, social norms, daily rhythms
-- How do people live when they're NOT entangled in conspiracies?
-- Smuggler vs detective cultural contexts and voice differentiation
+**Setting foundation + wiki structure — parallel tracks, both unblocked.**
 
-Also: ground both vertical slice characters (smuggler and detective) in setting-consistent cultural contexts.
+1. **Contraband Specification** — formalize D-037 as a standalone document. Unblocks Paula's NPC motivations and Mellanie's cargo dialogue. Immediate.
+2. **Sova Texture Appendix** — 1 page covering:
+   - Slang/idiom glossary (15-20 terms: "shift" vs "rotation", credit terminology, swearing conventions)
+   - Informal decoration details (graffiti, stickers, locker personalization)
+   - The local complaint (ventilation in Sector 3)
+   - Sensory gaps Mellanie identified
+   Blocks Mellanie's environmental text and monologue authoring. Critical.
+3. **Wiki taxonomy structure + first entries** — create `wiki/` directory with templates, Krenn System entry, Station Sova entry, Sova Transit District entry. Establishes the pattern.
+4. **NPC name finalization** — validate Paula's Round 2 assignments against Krenn conventions. Names already proposed: Kael, Voss, Lera, Torek, Drin, Maret, Hael, Sera, Nils, Kosse, Naia, Pael, Tev, Ren.
+5. **Detective institutional chain of command** — who assigned the investigation, stated mandate, political pressures. Blocks Paula's detective character build.
+6. **Meridian coverage map, span gate schedule, off-station connections** — medium priority, parallel with content work.

 ## Decisions Relevant to Your Role
-- D-005: Core concept - player experience of asymmetric information and perspective
-- D-008: Action pillar - hubris wall mechanic creating meaningful player consequences
-- D-019: Top-down primary view with future 3D cutscenes
+- D-005: Core concept — player experience of asymmetric information and perspective
+- D-008: Action pillar — hubris wall mechanic
+- D-019: Top-down primary view
 - D-021: Official title "The Settled Reach"
+- D-023: Life-sim substrate — daily life is the sentence, conspiracies are punctuation
+- D-027: Vertical slice — 30-minute runway, both playthroughs feel different, player names an NPC they felt conflicted about
+- D-028: Four dialogue layers — every layer enriches social interaction
+- D-029: Quality floor for unentangled NPCs
 
-### Round 17 Decisions (Player Experience)
-- **D-023: Life-sim substrate** - Conspiracies are punctuation. Daily life is the sentence. Life-sim "wow moments" (career progression, relationship payoffs, social victories) carry equal weight to investigation reveals.
-- **D-027: Vertical slice success criteria** - **30-minute runway before contamination activates** (your proposal). Player must breathe, attach, care before the intrigue hooks. Each playthrough must feel fundamentally different. Player names one NPC they felt conflicted about.
-- **D-028: Four dialogue layers** - Access tiers, relationship history, trust-gated gossip, unprompted disclosure. ALL planned from day one. Every layer enriches moment-to-moment social interaction.
-- **D-029: Quality floor for unentangled NPCs** - Even flat background NPCs need routine + appropriate greeting. Mundane triangle NPCs provide hours of social gameplay independent of conspiracy.
+### Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis)
+- **D-034: THE FRIEND** — your emotional concept, confirmed by project lead. One per character, production-level complex:
+  - Smuggler's FRIEND: Kael Davan. Warmth → trust → doubt → conflict. Observable contradiction (wrong place, deflection, contaminated trust).
+  - Detective's FRIEND: Sera Venn. Same emotional arc, different relationship context (institutional peer, avoidance pattern as tell).
+  - Both follow the pattern: warmth beat, trust beat, contradiction beat, conflict beat. D-027 criterion #3 lives or dies on these NPCs.
+- **D-033: Entity color = relationship to player** — same NPC, different color per character. Green → amber shift on THE FRIEND IS the visual wow moment.
+- **D-038: Audio in v0.1** — your spec is canonical. 8 files:
+  1. `amb_station_base.ogg` — station hum (global, the "you're in space" signal)
+  2. `amb_workplace_layer.ogg` — cargo machinery, scanner pings
+  3. `amb_bar_layer.ogg` — conversation, glass, low music
+  4. `amb_corridor_layer.ogg` — echoes, louder gate hum
+  5. `sfx_footstep_metal.ogg` — walk on metal grating
+  6. `sfx_footstep_metal_run.ogg` — run variant
+  7. `sfx_monologue_chime.ogg` — soft crystalline tone, "neural lattice firing" feel. **Non-negotiable.**
+  8. `sfx_monologue_chime_urgent.ogg` — sharper variant for contradiction/anomaly. Trains player unconsciously.
+- **D-039: All 6 wow moments in scope** — your budget, all promoted by project lead:
+  1. Arrival (minute 0-1): station hum + first monologue chime
+  2. Character's Eye (5-15): observation monologue + urgent chime
+  3. FRIEND Contradiction (20-25): THE FRIEND in wrong place + urgent chime
+  4. Divergence Reveal (2nd playthrough): different colors, names, voice
+  5. News Ticker Gut-Punch: same ticker, opposite reactions
+  6. Quiet Moment: idle reflective monologue
 
 ## Open Questions Assigned to You
-None assigned.
+- Q-014: Audio timing with monologue chime (co-lead with Gestalt)
 
 ## Current Priorities
-Vertical slice playtest evaluation. Champion the 30-minute breathing room success criterion. Verify both playthroughs (smuggler and detective) feel fundamentally different. Ensure social interaction moment-to-moment rewards match investigation moments. Guard the life-sim substrate from being sacrificed to conspiracy pacing.
+**Validation, gut-check, wow moment tracking.**
+
+1. **Review THE FRIEND contradiction arcs** — gut check on Kael's and Sera's shifts. Does the discovery feel right? Does the ambiguity work? Is the replay resonance real?
+2. **Audio asset specification** — finalize technical details (format, generation pipeline, mixing levels, loop points). Identify who generates the 8 files.
+3. **Wow moment dependency tracking** — for each wow moment, track whether its content and systems dependencies are on track:
+   - Arrival: needs station ambient + opening monologue + NPC routines
+   - Character's Eye: needs observation monologue + NPC routine deviation + urgent chime
+   - FRIEND Contradiction: needs full FRIEND content package + spatial staging
+   - Divergence Reveal: needs all dual-lens content for first location
+   - Ticker Gut-Punch: needs ticker content + dual monologue reactions
+   - Quiet Moment: needs reflective lines + time_idle trigger
+4. **Playtest readiness evaluation** — when content reaches critical mass, evaluate whether the 30-minute session delivers
+
+## Priority Ranking of Content Gaps (Your R2)
+- **Tier 1 (game doesn't exist without):** Voice kits + DLG, THE FRIEND, opening 5-min content, observation monologue
+- **Tier 2 (game feels empty without):** Flat NPC pass, audio, news ticker, template content packs
+- **Tier 3 (game feels rough without):** Mirror moments, insert flavor text, spatial wow-moment pass, UI microcopy

+
+## Status
+**ACTIVE.** Critical path owner. The Dual Lens Authoring Guide (#261) is the single biggest blocker in the project — everything downstream depends on it.
 
 ## Decisions Relevant to Your Role
 - D-005: Asymmetric information as core mechanic driving faction dynamics
-- D-013: POI manipulation system - how factions mark and control information
-- D-016: Internal monologue - unreliable narrator reflecting faction allegiances
-- D-018: Sound system - information quality degrades by range, affecting faction awareness
+- D-016: Internal monologue — unreliable narrator reflecting character perspective
 - D-021: Official title "The Settled Reach"
+- D-024: NPC triangle model — 10 axes + combat component
+- D-025: Cross-template triangles via reference links
+- D-028: Four relational dialogue layers
+- D-029: 30/50/20 population split
 
-### Round 17 Decisions (NPC & Dialogue Systems)
-- **D-024: NPC triangle model** - Your proposal: 3 NPCs with conflicting interests as atomic intrigue unit. 2 per template minimum, 1 cross-template. 10 consolidated axes (Want, Secret, Relationships 1-3, Tolerance, Routine, Information, Contentment, Personality, Tell, Skills). Combat as component, not axis.
-- **D-025: Cross-template triangles via reference links** - NPCs owned by one template, referenced by others with relationship metadata. Enables social site overlap without lifecycle conflicts.
-- **D-028: Four relational dialogue layers** - Your design: (1) Access tiers, (2) Relationship history, (3) Trust-gated gossip, (4) Unprompted disclosure. All load-bearing. Social dialogue budgeted 40% more than investigation.
-- **D-029: 30/50/20 population split** - Your proposal: 30% flat, 50% mundane triangles, 20% entangled. Mundane triangles ARE the social game. Variable per seed to prevent metagaming.
+### Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis)
+- **D-032: Separate monologue pools per character** — hard partition, no shared lines
+- **D-034: THE FRIEND NPC pattern** — your designs are canonical:
+  - **Smuggler's FRIEND: Kael Davan** — dock worker, ring member. Contradiction: unauthorized contact to exit the ring (protecting Hael). Arc: comfort → first crack → observation → confrontation → new equilibrium.
+  - **Detective's FRIEND: Sera Venn** — Commission field tech, bar regular. Contradiction: concealing evidence (protecting friend Hael). Arc: trust → background data → pattern recognition → the question → contaminated trust.
+  - Reusable pattern: 3+ phases, observable contradiction, sympathetic motivation, no clean resolution, dual-lens resonance, triangle integration.
+- **D-033: Entity color = relationship to player** — green/teal/amber/red maps to your access tier model visually
+- **D-035: Converged tag taxonomy** — your 4 layers map to tags: access (L1), situation (L2), trust (L3), topic+mood (L4)
+- **D-036: Sova Transit District** — 15 NPCs with Krenn System names (your Round 2 web is canonical)
+- **D-037: Contraband = unlicensed lattice components** — smuggling access, not weapons (moral ambiguity confirmed)
+- **D-039: All 6 wow moments in scope** — THE FRIEND contradiction is wow moment #3
+
+## Your Relationship Web (Canonical — Round 2)
+15 NPCs, 5 triangles:
+- **Triangle 1 (Hub Power):** Voss - Kael - Nils
+- **Triangle 2 (Worried Knowledge):** Maret - Drin - Voss
+- **Triangle 3 (Bar Tensions):** Lera - Torek - Ren
+- **Triangle 4 (Worried Partner):** Hael - Kael - Sera (connects both FRIENDs)
+- **Triangle 5 (Informant Question):** Naia - Kosse - Drin (cross-template)
+
+Distribution: 3 flat (Pael, Ren, Tev), 7 mundane triangle, 4-5 entangled.
 
 ## Open Questions Assigned to You
 - Q-011: Character selection roster for prototype (co-lead with Miri)
+- Q-016: Knowledge hierarchy for monologue prerequisites (co-lead with Gestalt)
+- Q-017: Triangle pressure threshold (co-lead with Gestalt)
 
 ## Current Priorities
-NPC triangle authoring for vertical slice templates (workplace, bar, smuggling ring). Define cross-template relationship metadata schema for reference links. Design vertical slice character rosters (smuggler + detective perspectives on same NPCs). Map dialogue layers to NPC axes for systemic line selection. Social gameplay loop design — mundane triangles as standalone content.
+**Critical path: Dual Lens Guide → Voice Patterns → THE FRIEND profiles → NPC profiles → Review**
+
+1. **Dual Lens Authoring Guide (#261) — full draft** (blocks everything downstream)
+   - Refined outline from workshop: 6 parts including THE FRIEND section
+   - Must include: emotional divergence moments, access tier shift paths, authoring checklist with display context tags
+2. **THE FRIEND: Kael Davan — full Tier 1 profile** (needs DLG)
+3. **THE FRIEND: Sera Venn — full Tier 1 profile** (needs DLG)
+4. **Character voice speech patterns** (co-deliver with Mellanie)
+5. **NPC Profiles: Tier 1 (4 entangled), Tier 2 (7 mundane), Tier 3 (3 flat)**
+6. **Access tier shift design document** (co-deliver with Gestalt)
+7. **Mirror moment review pass** (after Mellanie's monologue pools exist)

 ### Round 17 Decisions (Localization Implications)
 - **D-028: Tagged line pool dialogue system** - Localization advantages: each line is tagged with context metadata (access tier, relationship level, trust threshold, mood). Translators receive rich context. Lines are pooled, not tree-branched — translation scope is predictable. Trait modifiers apply post-translation (base line + transformation guide = variants in target language).
 
+### Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis — localization implications)
+- **D-032: Separate monologue pools per character** — hard partition. Two parallel content trees doubles monologue translation scope.
+- **D-035: Converged tag taxonomy (6+3)** — 9 tags per line provide rich context for translators. 13 situations, 9 topics, 8 moods. Translation scope predictable from pool size.
+- **D-036: Sova Transit District / Krenn System** — Krenn naming conventions (compact, consonant-heavy). Localization note: proper nouns and slang terms need transliteration guides per target language.

+- ~~Q-001: Engine selection~~ — **Resolved** as D-020 (Godot 4 + Rust/bevy_ecs via subprocess/IPC)
 
 ## Current Priorities
 Monitor D-026 simulation tier implementation for performance validation. Stress-test timestamp-based eviction against worst-case scenarios. Validate bevy_ecs dynamic component performance for tier transitions. Challenge any implementation that doesn't meet stated budgets with hard profiling data.

+## Notes
+
+- Existing tickets #190, #191, #192 (content packs) now have parallel spatial layout co-deliverables (#311, #312, #313). Content and layout must be developed together.
+- Existing ticket #179 (NPC profiles) now has a split: 2 NPCs (Kael, Sera) at production-level depth via #297/#298, remaining 13 at v0.1 tiers.
+- #303 (Visual Grammar) supersedes #252 (Placeholder art spec) in scope.
+- #305 (Dialogue pipeline) and #193 (Line previewer) share code — build previewer AS the pipeline.
+- #327 (Audio assets) ownership TBD — needs someone to run Stable Audio Open generation pipeline.
