Rust binary (server/src/bin/atlas.rs) with commands: show-system,
show-body, show-station, list-bodies, list-stations, add-body,
add-station, stats, populate. Reads from server/data/systems.db.
Wrapper at tooling/atlas, skill at .claude/skills/atlas/SKILL.md.
Scope note: atlas will grow to cover the full geographic hierarchy
(planetary surfaces, settlements, districts) as the cascade progresses.
Also: removed stale star_systems table from settledreach.db (belongs
in systems.db only) and ran initial populate pass (329 bodies + 301
horizon stations across 301 systems).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
New tables for the celestial body hierarchy below system level:
- bodies: planets, moons, gas giants, asteroid belts, oort clouds
with physical properties, settlement data, and cultural overrides
- stations: orbital/surface facilities with type, population,
docking class, and gate infrastructure flag
Naming convention: GJ-{n}b (planet), GJ-{n}b-1 (moon),
GJ-{n}b-S1 (station), GJ-{n}-oort (oort cloud).
Self-referential parent_body_id for moon→planet relationships.

Three wireframes for the Reach Navigator insert app:
- Galaxy hop-ring map (concentric layout, sector-colored, contextual gate lanes)
- System orbital schematic (star + orbits + oort cloud + horizon station)
- Body info panel (planetary screenshot, profile stats, GTTR entry)
Navigation flow: hop-ring → click system → orbital → click body → info panel.

3 rounds of SW1 (endgame feature vision) with 5 agents + Qatux.
Produced endgame-feature-vision.md (692 lines) covering the full
galaxy-to-ground generation pipeline, cultural cascade, replayability
architecture, and player experience beats.
Workshop was cut short when PO redirected to a 6-phase development
cascade (wiki content → economics → planetary maps → player control →
world gen → detail coloring). v0.2 target dropped. Heritage roots
(D-104/D-105/D-101/D-107) flagged for supersession — real-world
cultural corridors replace abstract roots.

6 wireframe views (Body, Head, Hair, Clothing, Accessories, Color Picker)

Layout: 60% preview pane with [Q]/[E] rotation, 35% tabbed panel with
search bar, scrollable grid, and docked color controls per tab.

cross-references from Kensho and Renaissance, catalog, index,
and cultural migration design doc.

noun contexts). Covers CHANGELOG, briefings, workshop docs, sprint
briefings, environmental text examples, templates, ticker content,

Round 6: four agents responded to the project lead's challenge
"what do you walk away with?" Gore proposed Threshold Attunement
and Attend verb (too philosophical, not literal enough). Gestalt
proposed vigil_vocabulary flag and Establish Watch verb. Nigel
proposed cross-playthrough WATCHER persistence flag. Ozzie
proposed door-measuring as retroactive evidence reading (thin
but visceral). Lead verdict: "too much philosophy too little
lootbox" — parking this for later. The reward design is TBD.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 5: Gestalt translated world texture into playable verbs.
Watch Investment Counter (hidden 0-100), six player verbs
(Watch, Investigate, Converse, File, Document, Depart), bleed
tile states, Adams & Ford entry as accumulated field notes,
investment-scaled gate departure monologue, storyteller
de-escalation. Project lead noted: "extraordinary world texture
and zero playable verbs" — this document fills that gap.

Round 4: final positions incorporating the name Abzu and all
challenge results. Locked decisions: high-bleed as failed vigil
canon, vigil predates human tenure, Institute paralyzed by
faction conflict, non-resolution principle. Araminta added
upwelling lighting gradient, departure transit spec, Mode 3
Institute transient vocabulary. Paula endorsed Option C for
the inner envelope. Miri specified six sealed envelope additions.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 3: all four agents challenged the sealed envelope against
existing Builder/Interstitium/Gate lore. Key finding: no
contradictions with canon. All four independently converged on
high-bleed gates = failed vigil signal. All four endorsed the
vigil predating human tenure. Inner sealed envelope identified
as required for implementation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The sealed envelope: canonical internal truth about what the
vigil watches — observation is load-bearing, the founding
settlers were recruited, the doors accommodate non-human
shift-takers. Project lead direction: verbatim creative
decisions and critiques across all workshop rounds. Everything
up for grabs when the lead changes their fickle mind.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 2: each agent read all four briefs and synthesized.
Key convergences: the doors as load-bearing detail, Adams &
Ford entry as mechanic, community warmth-without-origin.
Nigel self-cut "memory-without-event" archetype. Paula revised
tier 4 from "they know" to "they've stopped asking."
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 1 of the Abzu workshop: Miri (worldbuilding), Paula
(narrative), Nigel (replayability), Araminta (visual design)
each produced independent briefs for the furthest system at
hop 23. Key seeds: Adams & Ford commission frame, the four
investigative frames, the "picture won't close" mechanic,
K-type amber palette, and the doors that are 10-15% too tall.

Corridors are migration tendencies, not ethnic boundaries. Cross-corridor
heritage at any hop distance is normal and expected.

Adds Section 6.3 (Naming Variety) with guidelines for avoiding
theme-park naming — max 30-40% Earth transplants, mix in founder
names, local features, corporate designations, and evolved forms.
Also adds foundational note clarifying that culture, politics, and
economics are independent axes along corridors: systems can share
any combination with neighbours without cultural branding.

- Political philosophy gradient by sector and hop distance
- Compact of Westphalia breakaway coalition in the west_reach
- Central authority gradient from core to frontier
- Exception density guidelines and six exception archetypes

Gate builders don't place two horizon stations in one star system.
Binary pairs (A/B components of same physical star) split to
independent stars. Each "move" system keeps its connections and
content, only the host star changes.
Migrations:
- GJ 559A (Rigil Kentaurus) -> GJ 768 (Altair) — rewritten for new star
- GJ 725A (Renaissance) -> GJ 251
- GJ 820A -> GJ 3877 (Tessera — compact/records world)
- GJ 570B -> GJ 1156
- GJ 783B -> GJ 299
- GJ 663B (Guniibuu B) -> GJ 1286 (Kensho — university world)
- GJ 338A -> GJ 4053
- GJ 280B -> GJ 3991
- GJ 15B -> GJ 4274
New system names and roles assigned:
- Tessera: founding compact + institutional records
- Kensho: university world, largest Institute presence
- Vargr: mining (DSMC, MVG/GC minority stakes)
- Parallax: media world (was Procyon)
- Lu Ban: failed corp / mixed industrial (was Groombridge 34)
- Altair: southern gateway (was Rigil Kentaurus)
- Keid: garden world / ecological reservation
- Ross 128: ocean world (fishing, research, tourism)
Also adds docs/design/gj-catalog-full.json (3801 GJ entries from
HYG v4.2) for future star assignment.
