- make test-tooling: planet-gen determinism guard + import_economics
--dry-run, wired into pre-push on TOOLING_CHANGED; ruff widened to
E4/E7/E9/F/W (90 safe auto-fixes applied; E402/E702/F841 ignored with
documented counts)
- one-generator reality fixed in DEVOPS.md, asset-pipeline rule, CLAUDE.md
(import_economics sole generator since #951/D-223); dead check-protocol
target deleted; DEVOPS hook/config sections rewritten from the actual
hook sources; team-patterns gate description updated (client+tooling)
- project.yaml: 0.2.0 → 0.4.0 per the 0.{phase}.{n} scheme, description
refreshed from the v0.1 Sova narration to cascade reality
- stale comment sweep: voxel.rs stub claims (all 8 families implemented),
cascade.rs TODO recited to T-1044, main.rs D-192 handshake claim,
relationships.rs/chunk_streaming.rs version targets → phase language
- gitignore: client/settings.db* e2e-run artifacts

Two related quality fixes observed mid-run on Sirius + ACB + Ran:
1) Cosmopolitan corridor palettes. The six corridor inflection labels
were single-culture dominant ("administrative English / Gateway-era",
"British / Australian / Irish", "Korean/Japanese/Taiwanese", etc).
Gemma 2 2B interpreted these as "produce ONLY in this register" and
every core body came out anglophone, every east_reach body came out
East Asian. The real Earth diaspora in the setting is cosmopolitan —
a British surveyor on an east_reach moon still names a river after
their aunt in Dorset. The labels now spell out the dominant register
AND explicitly invite cross-cultural variety so Gemma samples from
the full few-shot pool instead of collapsing to one culture.
2) Per-system gttr context (the big one). The gttr.md files under
wiki/star-systems/<slug>/gttr.md already carry a vivid one-sentence
characterisation of every system — "where the rules live", "forty
years old and still in the draft", "the most connected system in
the Reach", "grandparents owned the land". This is a far stronger
cultural signal than the corridor inflection alone.
New column `star_systems.gttr_hook` stores a pre-extracted 45-word
hook per system. `tooling/db/populate_gttr_hook.py` parses each
gttr.md, regex-matches the first `**NAME**` paragraph, normalises
whitespace, truncates softly at a word cap, and stores it. Covers
all 301 systems (full coverage). Idempotent, safe to re-run after
any wiki update. Explicit transaction wrapper.
gemma_naming.py loads the hook cache at startup via
`load_system_gttr_hooks` and threads `system_hook` plus the system
and body proper names through process_body → name_feature →
_build_prompt. The prompt now carries:
System: <proper_name>. Planet: <body_name>.
About the system: <gttr_hook>
Style: British. Answer: Cooper's Creek
Style: Dutch. Answer: Meijer Beek
...
Real-mode smoke on 10 cases across 4 contrasting systems shows the
hook is doing exactly what it should. Sample output on the same
body_id / local_id pairs:
Tau Ceti (cosmopolitan hub) → Oakham River, Riverwood, Bridle Way
Ran (old-family agricultural) → Hart's Well, Blackwood Ridge
ACB (Lattice Commission seat) → Greenhaven, Rudge Brook
Posto Avançado (PT frontier dead-end) → Rio Preto, Serra de Caxias, Cunha's Cove
Posto Avançado went from "likely-English under the old corridor-only
prompt" to actual Portuguese names with a real Brazilian place stem
(Caxias), because the hook explicitly mentions wave_5 Portuguese
founders and frontier dead-end context. The gttr cultural one-liner
is the single strongest lever available for per-system cohesion —
this was the mono-culture issue observed in the first run, now fixed.
Token cost: ~60-90 extra tokens per prompt (hook + ident line).
Inference slowdown: ~5-10% per call. Acceptable for the quality gain.
Also restores 10 markers.json files that were stale from the aborted
run just killed — they were all core bodies at hop 0-1 which benefit
most from the gttr-context upgrade, so re-running them with the new
prompt is worth the ~3 minutes of re-inference.
