BRIEF (2026-07-02) — governing record: D-247 (governance/decisions/content.md); consumer: D-246 / T-1084 mosaic register.
WHAT THIS IS
D-247 established that habitable Reach worlds were alive before humans (the settlement timeline forbids terraforming from dead rock), and that an AUTHORED per-world chirality bit gates whether native life is edible. This ticket turns that canon into data + reconciled wiki + the vocabulary the mosaic needs. Owner: Miri (worldbuilding/continuity). Stakeholder: Burnelli (food-import economics). Co-maintainer for the vocab: Araminta (visual grammar, per the T-995 ObjectTag precedent).
THE MODEL (locked in D-247 — do not re-litigate, apply it):
- `biosphere_class ∈ {NativeCompatible, NativeMirror, TerraformedSterile, Airless}`. It is an AUTHORED INPUT, never seed-derived — it follows a world''s economic/cultural identity.
- Compatible ("levo") = edible; coupling *permits* an authored hazard but does not force it (most are benign gardens).
- Mirror ("dextro") = inedible but *guaranteed* inert (can''t infect/poison — safe to study).
- "Safe" ≠ "edible" — decoupled. Bio-safe is guaranteed on Mirror; food-safe is Compatible-only.
- Achiral seam (always works either way): breathe air, drink water, mine ore, burn/build with native biomass. Only eat/metabolize/medicate/infect/chirally-poison are gated.
- ~50/50 Compatible:Mirror is a DESIGN TARGET across canon-silent worlds, not a per-world draw.
WORKSTREAMS
1. CHIRALITY ASSIGNMENT (Miri). Give every inhabited body a biosphere_class by authored identity: principled default from `economic_base_primary` + `planet_class` (food/drink exporters → Compatible; dead+maintained-atmosphere → TerraformedSterile), explicit overrides where canon speaks. Locked exemplars: Arbour (GJ-338B)=Compatible; Solandar (GJ-827)=Mirror; Keid (GJ-166A)=Compatible (preserved *from exploitation* of edible alien life — the stronger conservation motive; Solandar is the Mirror-inert preserve); Oshima (GJ-79)=TerraformedSterile. Hit the ~50/50 target across the silent remainder.
2. WIKI CONTINUITY (Miri). Reconcile the entries that already gesture at native biochemistry so each is consistent with its assigned bit + the mechanism: GJ-827, GJ-524, GJ-166A, GJ-684A, GJ-197, GJ-79, GJ-124 (resolve whether Hạ Long''s "protein" is native-Compatible harvest or Earth aquaculture). Additive/explanatory, not contradictory — preserve deliberately-vague lines as intentional.
3. biosphere_class AUTHORING PATH (asset-pipeline discipline — schema + source + values together, per .claude/rules/asset-pipeline.md). Add `biosphere_class` to wiki body frontmatter (where `substrate:` already lives), a nullable `bodies.biosphere_class` column in systems-schema.sql + MIGRATION_SQL, and importer read. NOT needed for D-246; lands with this pass.
4. ALIEN-ECOLOGY VOCABULARY (Miri + Araminta) — feeds T-1084 directly. The mosaic palette is keyed on surface-class × climate-biome × biosphere-register (D-246 Palette-key). Provide the micro-habitat NAMES per biome × register: native-mirror niches get *alien* clade names (Solandar''s "five kingdoms" flavor); introduced-Earth niches get Earth names (wheatfield, orchard, pasture). Fill the fixed niche spine (canopy / understory / wet-hollow / pioneer / bare) per climate-biome (savanna gallery-copse, tundra thermokarst / lichen-heath, boreal muskeg / deadfall, …). DETERMINISM: the vocab must be fixed before T-1084 generates its first world (a later addition re-rolls affected voxels). Table size is not a perf/storage concern — author generously but to taste (~100k is headroom, not a target).
BURNELLI (stakeholder, follow-on): a food-supply demand primitive keyed on biosphere_class (Mirror + frontier → import dependency; Compatible → local-food capable). Phase-2 economy consumer; does not block this ticket.
CONSTRAINTS
- Authored input, not derivation (Arbour''s estate food must never be coin-flipped inedible).
- Semantic axes stay clade-agnostic (Forest = canopy whether oak or mega-fungus); the register skins niches, it does not change gameplay semantics.
- The mosaic geometry is chirality-blind — this work does NOT touch voxel geometry, only edibility/economy/naming/vocab.
Chirality decisions resolved (2026-07-02, with Jeroen):
- Locked exemplars: Arbour=NativeCompatible, Solandar=NativeMirror, Keid=NativeCompatible, Oshima=TerraformedSterile.
- Miri assignments accepted: GJ-524=Mirror, Freyburg(GJ-684A)=Compatible, Hạ Long(GJ-124)=Compatible (native-Compatible harvest, per her rationale).
- USER OVERRIDES: Puerto Último(GJ-197)=NativeCompatible (breadbasket identity over Miri''s balance-motivated Mirror). Edict/Sirius(GJ-244A)=Airless — keep the world harsh/frozen (deliberately-inconvenient below-grade transit capital is load-bearing canon); no climate change; below-grade sealed habitat = no open-air biosphere.
- Two-gate default rule ACCEPTED for canon-silent worlds: Gate 0 (habitability from atmosphere/hydrosphere frontmatter → Airless / TerraformedSterile / Alive), Gate 1 (Compatible vs Mirror from economic_base_primary; agriculture→Compatible near-lock, penal→Mirror, research→50/50 lever).
- NAMING: Keid''s habitable body renamed Cadwal→(pending final pick; rec Linnaeus — pairs with Solander, its student naturalist; or Beagle). Capital stays ''Vance'' (already the author tribute). Miri''s IP flag (Cadwal = Vance''s exact book title) is the driver.
- Still to APPLY: the 7 additive wiki continuity edits (Miri specified exact text), the biosphere_class frontmatter+schema+importer plumbing (workstream 3), and the Cadwal→<name> rename across wiki + the GJ166A atlas proposal.
NAMING CONFIRMED: Keid''s habitable body Cadwal → Linnaeus (the great classifier; ties to Solander/Solandar taxonomy + the ''five kingdoms''). Capital stays Vance.
PROGRESS 2026-07-03: Workstreams 1-2 DONE + committed (388168eef, branch micro-habitat-mosaic).
- Cadwal→Linnaeus rename applied (body frontmatter name + biosphere_class:NativeCompatible, GJ-166A infobox, atlas proposal, D-247 clarified). Capital stays Vance.
- 5 wiki continuity edits applied (GJ-524 Mirror, GJ-166A/Keid Compatible, GJ-684A Freyburg Compatible, GJ-124 Hạ Long Compatible, GJ-197 Puerto Último Compatible). Solandar/Oshima needed none.
REMAINING:
- Workstream 3 (biosphere_class plumbing): add nullable bodies.biosphere_class column to systems-schema.sql; teach tooling/db/wiki_sync.py import_from_wiki to read biosphere_class frontmatter + apply the two-gate DEFAULT for canon-silent bodies (Gate0 atmosphere/hydrosphere, Gate1 economic_role/economic_base); add explicit frontmatter for the 3 override bodies still needing it (Solandar=NativeMirror, GJ-524=NativeMirror [uninhabited-but-alive → default would mis-Airless it], Edict/GJ244Ad=Airless [standard-atm+ice edge case]); ensure generate_wiki round-trips biosphere_class; then the BAKE (run import_from_wiki + generate_wiki → systems.db + regenerated infoboxes, incl. the Linnaeus name propagation) + commit systems.db. Add biosphere_class to BodyParams read set (D-240) as the D-247 code hook. NOTE: the bake is a systems.db binary-artifact commit — consequential, do deliberately.
- Workstream 4 (alien-ecology vocab → palette): integrate Miri''s biome × register vocabulary (cane/vane/wrack/husk/drum-root native-mirror lexicon + Earth-register names, per her Deliverable 3) into atlas/mosaic.rs + mosaic_constants.toml — extends the temperate/native baseline to the full surface-class × climate-biome × register palette. This also completes T-1084''s biome-awareness. Determinism: lock before generation.

- Two-gate default rule ACCEPTED for canon-silent worlds: Gate 0 (habitability from atmosphere/hydrosphere frontmatter → Airless / TerraformedSterile / Alive), Gate 1 (Compatible vs Mirror from economic_base_primary; agriculture→Compatible near-lock, penal→Mirror, research→50/50 lever).
- NAMING: Keid''s habitable body renamed Cadwal→(pending final pick; rec Linnaeus — pairs with Solander, its student naturalist; or Beagle). Capital stays ''Vance'' (already the author tribute). Miri''s IP flag (Cadwal = Vance''s exact book title) is the driver.
- Still to APPLY: the 7 additive wiki continuity edits (Miri specified exact text), the biosphere_class frontmatter+schema+importer plumbing (workstream 3), and the Cadwal→<name> rename across wiki + the GJ166A atlas proposal.
NAMING CONFIRMED: Keid''s habitable body Cadwal → Linnaeus (the great classifier; ties to Solander/Solandar taxonomy + the ''five kingdoms''). Capital stays Vance.
PROGRESS 2026-07-03: Workstreams 1-2 DONE + committed (388168eef, branch micro-habitat-mosaic).
- Cadwal→Linnaeus rename applied (body frontmatter name + biosphere_class:NativeCompatible, GJ-166A infobox, atlas proposal, D-247 clarified). Capital stays Vance.
- 5 wiki continuity edits applied (GJ-524 Mirror, GJ-166A/Keid Compatible, GJ-684A Freyburg Compatible, GJ-124 Hạ Long Compatible, GJ-197 Puerto Último Compatible). Solandar/Oshima needed none.
REMAINING:
- Workstream 3 (biosphere_class plumbing): add nullable bodies.biosphere_class column to systems-schema.sql; teach tooling/db/wiki_sync.py import_from_wiki to read biosphere_class frontmatter + apply the two-gate DEFAULT for canon-silent bodies (Gate0 atmosphere/hydrosphere, Gate1 economic_role/economic_base); add explicit frontmatter for the 3 override bodies still needing it (Solandar=NativeMirror, GJ-524=NativeMirror [uninhabited-but-alive → default would mis-Airless it], Edict/GJ244Ad=Airless [standard-atm+ice edge case]); ensure generate_wiki round-trips biosphere_class; then the BAKE (run import_from_wiki + generate_wiki → systems.db + regenerated infoboxes, incl. the Linnaeus name propagation) + commit systems.db. Add biosphere_class to BodyParams read set (D-240) as the D-247 code hook. NOTE: the bake is a systems.db binary-artifact commit — consequential, do deliberately.
- Workstream 4 (alien-ecology vocab → palette): integrate Miri''s biome × register vocabulary (cane/vane/wrack/husk/drum-root native-mirror lexicon + Earth-register names, per her Deliverable 3) into atlas/mosaic.rs + mosaic_constants.toml — extends the temperate/native baseline to the full surface-class × climate-biome × register palette. This also completes T-1084''s biome-awareness. Determinism: lock before generation.
Miri''s full Deliverable 3 vocab (the source for workstream 4) is in her T-1085 agent report.
Workstream 4 DONE (partial) + committed (5fb34675e): grassland biome-awareness (ClimateBiome from temperature_c+moisture_q → savanna/temperate/boreal/tundra palettes; savanna Forest-copses, tundra lichen/sparse) + Miri''s full biome×register vocab preserved as docs/design/alien-ecology-vocabulary.md. Cold-barren districts now render structured-sparse (D-245 climate-appropriateness): vegetated_districts 8→20, 0→39 on cold bodies. Full suite green, believability golden regenerated. CONTINUATION (noted): Forest biomes (tropical/boreal), Wetland/extreme-class biomes, the introduced-Earth register (needs biosphere_class + the managed layer), and the §8 material follow-up. REMAINING on T-1085: workstream 3 (biosphere_class schema+importer+default-rule+bake) + this WS4 continuation.
Workstream 3 DONE + committed (cc7c5ada0): biosphere_class plumbing via the stamped regen-db path. Nullable bodies.biosphere_class column (schema + migration); economy_import/bodies.py populate_biosphere_class (frontmatter override + D-247 two-gate default, recompute-all); wired as import step 17; frontmatter overrides for Solandar/GJ-524/Hạ Long (the 3 whose default deviated). systems.db regenerated + stamped (make regen-db). VERIFIED: all 9 canon exemplars correct; distribution 111 Compatible : 108 Mirror among inhabited alive (~50/50), Airless for uninhabited, TerraformedSterile for thin-atm. BodyParams Rust hook deferred (no consumer yet — mosaic is chirality-blind; Burnelli economy is the future consumer).
T-1085 STATUS: WS1 (chirality assignment) DONE, WS2 (wiki continuity) DONE, WS3 (biosphere plumbing) DONE, WS4 (vocab→palette) DONE-partial (grassland biome-awareness + vocab doc; Forest/register/§8-material continuation noted). REMAINING: (a) rename completion — propagate Linnaeus to bodies.proper_name in the DB (still Cadwal; proper_name is atlas-CLI-owned, wipe+reimport would drop non-proposal cols → needs a targeted approach); (b) WS4 continuation; (c) Burnelli food-economy consumer (separate stakeholder follow-on).', 'in_progress', 'medium', 'miri', NULL, 'D-247', '2026-07-02 20:30:57.222', '2026-07-05 09:57:14.888', NULL, '266b2ac2007b0bb0ac6ebb5d1a0522be', 2) ON CONFLICT(record_id) DO UPDATE SET type=excluded.type, parent_record_id=excluded.parent_record_id, title=excluded.title, description=excluded.description, status=excluded.status, priority=excluded.priority, assigned_to=excluded.assigned_to, team=excluded.team, decision_ref=excluded.decision_ref, updated_at=excluded.updated_at, deleted_at=excluded.deleted_at, hash=excluded.hash, canonical_version=excluded.canonical_version WHERE excluded.updated_at > tickets.updated_at OR (excluded.updated_at = tickets.updated_at AND excluded.hash > tickets.hash);
