Review fixes for the #1016 cultural pass (Hoshe/Paula/Miri):
- Kruger 60 (GJ 860A) xhosa -> cosmopolitan (Miri): GTTR describes an
Afrikaner/Xhosa/Zulu founding "without mapping cleanly onto any of
them" — the textbook genuinely-fused case, which taxonomy rule 4
resolves to cosmopolitan rather than one of the three. Commented.
- Altmark (GJ 357) financial_technocratic -> cosmopolitan (Paula):
reverts to the original shipped value; the GTTR reads as commercial
non-alignment, not credential-based technocracy.
- Kampala Gate (GJ 667B) + Moyale (GJ 1292) keep swahili but add inline
comments documenting that these are East-African-INTERIOR founders
(Baganda; Kenyan/Ethiopian Borana-Oromo) for which the taxonomy has no
dedicated token — swahili is the nearest available, NULL would fall to
the wrong corridor default. Gap logged for a follow-up taxonomy value.
Mwangaza (693) swahili is literally correct (coastal) — untouched.
- heritage-taxonomy-draft.md: stale "(38)" subheadings -> "(47)" to match
the actual canonical count (Hoshe/Miri doc typo).
Retracted: Pedra Seca (GJ 421B) xhosa — reviewer thought it lacked
authored backing, but its gttr.md explicitly states "Afrikaans and Xhosa
heritage"; pin kept.

Completes the deferred cultural half of #1016 and migrates the heritage
vocabulary to the canonical 47-value taxonomy (D-237).
Migration (mechanical):
- _CULTURAL_HERITAGE replaced with the canonical 47-value set
(docs/.../heritage-taxonomy-draft.md). Renamed the 4 shipped hero
values to canonical: afrikaans_cape->afrikaans, french_provencal->
french, italian_northern->italian, norse_compact->nordic.
Content pass (authored from GTTR/name heritage triage, 6-sector fan-out):
- +139 new cultural_specialization pins and 1 change (Altmark
cosmopolitan->financial_technocratic), taking coverage 32 -> 171
across 54 distinct values. Each pin is grounded in an explicit GTTR
founding-community statement or system/feature name etymology, applied
only where founding heritage DIVERGES from the corridor baseline
(D-167/D-232); corridor-typical systems left NULL.
Distribution is now balanced and diverse — portuguese 15, german 12,
vietnamese 10, afrikaans 10 (no longer dominant post-#1019), then a long
tail filling the previously-missing slots (welsh, herero, czech, akan,
hungarian, konkan, afro_brazilian, cape_verdean, shona, arab/persian/
turkic, etc.).
Judgment calls (flagged for review):
- Kruger 60 + Pedra Seca -> xhosa (mixed SA founding; adds diversity).
Pedra Seca has a Portuguese name but Afrikaans/Xhosa GTTR founding —
name/heritage mismatch noted for a future content fix.
- Kampala Gate / Moyale / Mwangaza -> swahili as the nearest token for
East-African-interior heritage; taxonomy may want a dedicated value.
- Kept hero pins Kensho=scholarly, Keid=scholarly, Nyrheim=nordic.

Review fixes for the #1019 heritage rebalance:
- Marib's farm world Ghouta -> Ghawr (Miri): "Ghouta" carries strong
modern associations (2013 Damascus attack); Ghawr (the Jordan Rift
Valley, an irrigated lowland farming region) keeps the water-fed-
drylands sense without the resonance.
- Add dominant_faction = "independent" to GJ 914A / 508A / 1245B (Hoshe)
— all five rebalanced systems are self-governing independent
communities; uniform with siblings GJ 722 / 680 and clears V-FAC-01.
- catalog.md: fill GJ 914A -> Marib and GJ 722 -> Sığınak (Hoshe) — the
two anchor systems still showed em-dash placeholders.
- Marib gttr: name the second aperture neighbour Sığınak instead of the
bare "GJ 722" (Miri).
Pre-existing Golestan aperture/spur wording (reviewers split on whether
it is even wrong) is left for a separate content pass — not introduced
by this rename.

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.

The 6-sector content pass (core pilot + deep_frontier/north/east/south/west,
~260 systems read from both index.md and gttr.md) authored economic_
specialization + dominant_faction for the systems whose lore makes those
identities distinct. Conservative pin bar: corridor-typical systems left NULL
for the heuristic/derivation fallback.
Totals now: economic 170 (27 hero + 143), faction 76 (27 hero + 49),
cultural still 27 (DEFERRED — the culture pass needs a canonical heritage
vocabulary first; the agents surfaced ~30 real heritages from the names plus a
genuine Middle-East/Arabic gap, to be reconciled into one taxonomy before
writing cultural_specialization).
regen-db green, stamp fresh, all CI guardrails pass. Soft warnings are the
expected D-177 MonopolySource review list, the known Arbour estate/breadbasket
question, and sparse-corp_presence W-FAC-03 advisories — none blocking.
Notable pins: Haodu financial_hub/syndic_dominant, Matamba legal_archive,
Inhambane/Sonnwend/etc breadbasket, the terroir cluster, the west_reach
Compact zone, Aurelius governance_center/veil_institute. FLAGs left NULL
pending human calls (ISPI=veil_institute?, Gate-Corp-as-faction).
