Reconciles the ~30 inconsistent heritage proposals from the 6-sector #1016
content pass into one canonical cultural_specialization heritage vocabulary
(47 values). Key reconciliations: norse_compact->nordic (un-fuses people from
faction), spanish_iberian+spanish_hispanic->spanish, brazilian_portuguese+
lusophone_frontier->brazilian, italian_northern->italian, afrikaans_cape->
afrikaans, french_provencal+french_canadian->french. No compound values; one
token per system (blends take dominant heritage or the cosmopolitan activity
value).
Maintainer decisions (2026-06-01): keep ALL values distinct (no lumping —
welsh/afro_brazilian/cape_malay/xhosa/luxembourgish/konkan all retained);
keep empty-but-complete slots (yoruba/hausa/hungarian/persian/turkic). Fills
the Middle-East gap the pass exposed: arab/persian/turkic added even at near-
zero current usage so the canon is complete.
Logs the southern-African overrepresentation (~25/300, afrikaans=15) as a DLC
content-rewrite rebalancing task (#1019) rather than lumping the taxonomy.
Migration note included: 4 already-shipped hero cultural values use old suffix
forms (afrikaans_cape, french_provencal, italian_northern, norse_compact) and
will be renamed in the culture-write pass when _CULTURAL_HERITAGE is replaced.

Three-round design workshop (Miri, Burnelli-Sheldon, Paula; documented by
Qatux, ticketed by SI) that produced D-237. Includes per-agent round
outputs, round notes, the independent scout critique, and the final
workshop-outcomes.md with the consolidated schema, 27-value economic
vocabulary, cultural + faction vocabularies, deterministic-varied fallback
spec, must-pin table, and CI guardrails.
Clerk-Skip: workshop discussion docs, no D-record surface (D-237 filed separately)

- settings.json: add Read(repo/**), Read(/tmp/**), Grep, Glob to the
allowlist. Teammates inherit settings.json (not settings.local.json),
which had no Read rule — so every teammate file read escalated to the
lead as a per-file prompt. This closes that gap.
- Add the system-economic-specialization workshop brief (lore-authored
per-system dominant-commodity field + within-system weighted variation;
Q5 covers adding a small identity field set in the same 300-system pass).
Note: agent memory-strip (6c93b698f) + this read-allow reach teammates
only after a Claude Code restart (settings/agent-def snapshot is taken at
lead startup).
