"Biome" describes per-zone vegetation classification (Whittaker table).
"Planet class" describes overall planetary character. The conflation
caused the planet generator to misclassify ~270 bodies as barren.
Scope: systems.db column, schema SQL, Rust atlas code, wiki table
headers (Biome → Class), atlas proposal JSONs, all docs/decisions,
tooling scripts. Also normalizes atmosphere vocabulary (breathable →
standard) and expands planet class mapping to all 26 wiki values.
Unknown classes default to temperate for modder safety.

Workshop #801 deliverable: commodities.toml (36 commodities across
5 tiers), production_chains.toml (21 Leontief recipes including
2 substitution routes), schema.md (SQL DDL + validation rules).
Key design choices: brands are not commodities (separate layer),
water→fuel at 8:1 yield, 3 political sub-flags replacing single
boolean, gate energy-over-gate as commercial service. Wiki stub
pages generated for all 36 commodities.
Tickets #811–#815 created for follow-up work. #801 closed.

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.

Replace every occurrence of "Krenn" with "Van Maanen's Star" (or
contextual variants like VMS for locale codes, Van Maanen for proper
noun contexts). Covers CHANGELOG, briefings, workshop docs, sprint
briefings, environmental text examples, templates, ticker content,
and architecture docs.

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.

System S-057 assigned to real star GJ 35 (Van Maanen's Star, DG white

Workshop to decide content generation architecture: hand-authored pools,
composable primitives, or LLM re-voicing with progressive enhancement.
Includes proposed-llm-voice.md (Gemini/Jeroen design session) and
Gemini project review (GEMINI-SCAN.md).
Key design: base text serves triple duty — LLM prompt seed, graceful
fallback, and LLM-off experience. Baked content for hubs, lazy
pre-voicing for exploration, same pattern as world generation.

Updated in-universe "Commonwealth" references to "the Settled Reach"
in decisions, architecture docs, design docs, workshop outputs,
README, and wiki. Kept all references to Hamilton's books as
inspiration/comparison in historical discussions and wiki-review
workshop rounds.

Line IDs in all dialogue and monologue pool files renamed from the
old location-scoped format (e.g. the-terminal_d_039) to the new
NPC-scoped format (e.g. kael-davan_d_001) per the D-035 Sprint 15
amendment.
Changes:
- 20 dialogue pool files across 3 locations renamed
- 14 monologue pool files (detective + smuggler) renamed
- Schema descriptions updated in dialogue/monologue schema files
- Authoring style guide and design docs updated with new examples
- Multi-location NPCs (kael-davan, pc-detective, pc-smuggler) given
globally unique cross-file sequences to satisfy XREF uniqueness check
The location-scoped scheme already caused a collision (the-terminal_d_039
appearing in multiple NPC files) and would not scale to procedurally
generated NPC populations (D-029). Zero content changes — pure ID
substitution.

Adopts the whatsinagame naming pattern where the domain comes
first and the action second (e.g. pr-review, sprint-start,
audio-gen). Updated all cross-references in settings, agents,
docs, and inter-skill references.
12 renames: commit→git-commit, create-skill→skill-create,
gen-audio→audio-gen, gen-image→image-gen, plan-sprint→sprint-plan,
push-pr→pr-push, render-sprite→sprite-gen, review-pr→pr-review,
search-docs→docs-search, start-sprint→sprint-start,
start-workshop→workshop-start.

4-track workshop targeting the class of bugs from Sprint 6-7: blocking
I/O, serialization boundaries, state desync, off-by-one encoding.
Participants: Tyre, Hoshe, Dudley, Stig. Covers integration test
architecture, serialization boundary tests, client test infrastructure,
and test gap prioritization. Includes catalogue of 6 real bugs.

0.5m sim tiles for movement/LOS granularity, 1m visual tiles for
proportional art and readable spaces (2x retina factor). All world
geometry constrained to 2x2 sim tile minimum so cover/LOS maps 1:1
with visuals. Entities occupy 1x1 sim tiles for fine positioning.
Updates: D-043, D-044, D-051, D-056, D-059 annotations, workshop
outcomes (art direction + control/interaction), sprint 6 briefings,
decision index, and CLAUDE.md.
