chore(meta): cascade refocus — supersede v0.2 cluster, re-home backlog tree, capture workshop WIP

Governance:
- D-166 amendment (2026-06-12): outside-in build order (geo → econ-on-world →
  building templates → door boundary contracts → NPC/interiors → gameplay);
  Phase 5 ramps in parallel once outsides are walkable (gate: T-962)
- D-114/D-115/D-117/D-118/D-120 marked superseded by D-166 (inbound anchors fixed)
- D-221 amended: milestones retired, cascade-hierarchy gating is canonical
- Q-077/Q-068/Q-036 resolved (answered by events); Q-110 (scale anchoring) and
  Q-111 (live-econ coupling) opened from cascade grounding

Ticket tree (147 stray backlog tickets dispositioned):
- New parents: T-1036 (post-cascade gameplay parking), T-1037 (maintenance initiative)
- Re-homed: 15 → Phase 4 (T-750), 30 → Phase 5 (T-749), 11 → Phase 6 (T-751),
  21 → gameplay parking, 28 → maintenance; children follow their epics
- Cancelled 12 administrative shells (mirror tickets, emptied pre-cascade umbrellas,
  v0.2 pivot shell T-603); T-9/T-28 closed done; T-745 in_progress
- New grounded tickets T-1038..T-1044: inter-settlement road/rail graph, L3→L4
  dispatch threading, river-channel-anchor bug, 64m landform-repeat bug,
  region seam blending, road-entry octants, drainage re-run fix

Docs:
- CLAUDE.md cascade paragraph updated to the amended rule
- 20 v0.1-era docs/design files marked superseded with pointers;
  content-structure-canonical retitled (v0.2 label dropped)

- **Amendment (2026-05-22):** Phases 4 and 5 swapped — **world generation now precedes player control**. The rule: no player-control or in-world rendering work begins until the generator can deterministically seed-generate every tile of every world via the full multilayer cascade. The original Phase 4 "2-floor test map" is **dropped** — test layers are produced by the generator itself once layer-drawing begins; we start drawing the world only when generation knows what to draw. Generation progress is viewed as **per-layer maps in the implant Atlas** (the Phase 3 deliverable, already built), not via an in-world renderer. The existing in-world rendering code is **left as-is until Phase 5** — neither built upon nor removed before then. Rationale: building player systems against a throwaway test substrate means rebuilding them against real generated tiles later; gating player work on deterministic generation avoids that waste. Epics T-749 (now Phase 5) and T-750 (now Phase 4) and the CLAUDE.md cascade table are updated to match.
- **Amendment (2026-06-12):** Build order **within and after** the cascade clarified (Jeroen). The world is built **outside-in**: (1) geo layer; (2) the economic layer drawn onto the world — cities, buildings, streets, blocks, and the inter-settlement road/rail network; (3) building templates; (4) **door boundary contracts** defining the seam between exteriors and building interiors. Only then (5) the background NPC layer and building interiors (Phase 6), and only after that does gameplay/scenario design resume ("making it a game again" — tracked in the post-cascade gameplay parking epic, outside any phase). **Player control and visual rendering (Phase 5) ramp in parallel once outside generation produces walkable exteriors** — the Phase-5 trigger is "outsides generate deterministically and are walkable", not "all Phase-4 polish complete"; T-962 holds the gate and is updated to this trigger. Guiding statement: *"Before this is a game I want it to be a Reach a character can travel through."* NPCs, scenarios, and gameplay systems are conceived, designed, and built only after the traversable world exists. This amendment absorbs the v0.2 scope cluster — D-114, D-115, D-117, D-118, D-120 are marked superseded by this record, with each one's surviving design substance noted on the record itself.
- **Rationale:** The pattern of negotiating pragmatic v0.2 cuts while discussing room-level detail repeatedly produced superseded decisions, confused agents, and distracted from building the actual product. The cascade enforces a first-things-first discipline: each layer of the game is grounded in the layer below it before detail is added.
- **Raised by:** Jeroen, established 2026-03-24 during world generation workshop.
- **Dissent:** None.
