The corridor over-represented southern-African heritage (afrikaans on 15
systems; arab=2, persian/turkic=0) as an artifact of the earlier
name-balancing overcorrecting. Convert five genuinely-thin afrikaans
systems — whose distinctive threads are heritage-agnostic — into
Arab/Persian/Turkic founders so the cultural cascade is built on a
balanced set. Load-bearing mystery systems (Eerste Wacht / Helderoog /
Brandpunt etc.) are left untouched.
Droëland (GJ 914A) -> Marib (arab)
Stilwater (GJ 508A) -> Sawad (arab)
Koeberg (GJ 1245B) -> Akhgar (persian)
Skuilplek (GJ 722) -> Siginak (turkic)
Carnarvon (GJ 680) -> Golestan (persian; Mostert dynasty -> Farahani)
Result: afrikaans 15->10; arab 0->2, persian 0->2, turkic 0->1.
Full narrative retouch (not just names): gttr.md + index.md prose,
body/station proper_names, cultural_specialization, gttr_hook,
atlas_city_names, and the four brand-corps named after the converted
systems (corp IDs kept stable; only display names + products renamed).
Cross-references in neighbour systems, the catalog, the aggregate
drifter guides, and the atlas proposals are updated to match.
arab/persian/turkic added to _CULTURAL_HERITAGE so the values validate;
the full canonical 47-value migration remains #1016.
Also fixes a pre-existing canon bug: Sawad (GJ 508A) no longer claims
GJ 914A is "unsettled" — it is Marib, a three-century settlement.

price_tier was documented in D-189 §5 and present in brands.toml but
silently discarded on import — absent from schema, INSERT, and V-B06.
- Add price_tier TEXT column to brand_products CREATE TABLE
- Add COLUMN_MIGRATIONS entry for ALTER TABLE on existing DBs
- Add VALID_PRICE_TIERS constant (mass/premium/luxury/flagship/institutional)
- Include price_tier in product_rows tuple and INSERT OR REPLACE
- Add price_tier to V-B06 enum checks; skip NULL (nullable column)
- Backfill 4 pre-amendment anchor brands (8 entries): Calloway flagship/premium,
VGV luxury/premium, thrds luxury/premium, Bífröst flagship/luxury
V-B01..V-B06 all pass.

Header still said "4 anchor brands only, Phase 3 deferred". Now reflects
Sprint 36 #828 reality: 124 brand corps, full D-189 census, all 8 categories.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Blocking PR #129 items 1, 2 (plus polish 16 and 17):
- D-191 §8 prose rewritten to match the code. The previous amendment said
positions were `{x, y}` objects against a "typically 1024 × 512" grid,
but the generator, the six hand-authored templates, and all 2394
procedural seed files ship `[row, col]` integer arrays against a
`{"w": 512, "h": 256}` grid. The decision doc is now aligned with
reality: positions are `[row, col]`, the storage grid is 512 × 256,
and the row-first ordering is called out explicitly so readers can
cross-reference NumPy/flood-fill/A*/cost-grid conventions.
- §8 now follows the D-094 amendment pattern. The superseded 2026-04-10
prose is preserved verbatim as "Original (superseded)" with a dated
Amendment block on top — future readers can see what changed and why
instead of silently losing the history.
- brands.toml header gains a short Phase 2 boundary note. The 4 anchor
brands come from D-189 §5; the additional ~23 brands from D-189 §11
are deliberately deferred to Phase 3 — Phase 2 only needs the demand-
node plumbing and V-B01..V-B06 validation exercised end-to-end.
- systems-schema.sql `bodies.terrain_reference` comment now pins the
repo-root-relative path convention (wiki/star-systems/<slug>/bodies/
<body_id>/heightmap.png) so the three downstream pipelines (populate,
atlas generator, client loader) share a documented contract instead
of drifting against an unwritten convention.
Adds the brand layer per D-189 §5:
- Schema: brand_products, brand_inputs, system_fiscal, corp_financial_state,
corp_lifecycle_events (+ 5 indexes).
- Importer: reads wiki/economics/corporations/brands.toml, populates the
new tables, validates V-B01–V-B05 structural rules, and derives
system_fiscal for inhabited systems.
- Data: 8 brand_products, 16 brand_inputs, 301 system_fiscal rows.
Brand products are demand nodes — they consume commodities; they are not
commodities themselves (D-185). Depends on copy PR #127 for the corp
records referenced by brands.toml.
- Fix 16 lore_archetype keys in tier1.toml to match lore.toml definitions
- Fix 4 commodity ID mismatches (medical_re-embodiment, fine_dining, vehicles, entertainment)
- Add pharmaceutical_manufacturer archetype to lore.toml
- Fix station_module_constructor note (Cygni B → Sova Station Works)
- Create GJ-280B stub (Sova Station Works HQ system)
- Add Station Sova cross-reference to sova-station-works.md
- Fix GJ-251 and GJ-144 economic exports (financial_services contradictions)
- Split corporation index into Narrative Profiles and Tier 1 sections

Adds 25 new named corporations covering D-175 priority gaps: financial
services (Groombridge Settlement House, Compact Financial Exchange,
Meridian Risk), re-embodiment (Somatic Futures, Blue Collective), east
reach anchors, Compact distributors, freight, mining, medical, lattice,
and more. Each corp has lore + behavioral archetype, political tension,
administered silence, currency preference, and branded products.
Includes TOML records in wiki/economics/corporations/tier1.toml and
narrative wiki pages in wiki/corporations/.
