+# Gitea Access (tea CLI)
+
+**Never access the Gitea API directly** — use the `tea` CLI with all required flags to bypass interactive mode.
+
+Always pass `--login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --output simple` to avoid TTY prompts.
+
+```bash
+# List open PRs
+tea pr list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
+
+# View a PR with comments
+tea pr --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --comments -o simple <PR_NUMBER>
+
+# Post a comment on a PR (or issue) — use @filepath for long comments
+tooling/tea-comment <NUMBER> @/tmp/review.md
+tooling/tea-comment <NUMBER> "short inline comment"
+
+# Approve a PR
+tea pr approve --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <PR_NUMBER>
+
+# List issues
+tea issue list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
+```
+
+## Key rules
+
+- **All flags must be explicit** — omitting `--login` or `--repo` triggers interactive prompts that crash in Claude Code (no TTY)
+- **Use `--output simple`** for machine-readable output (no table borders)
+- **For comments, use `tooling/tea-comment <number> @/tmp/file.md`** for long comments (write to file first, then pass `@filepath`). Short inline strings also work: `tooling/tea-comment <number> "body"`. The `@filepath` form avoids `$()` subshells which break permission matching.
+- **`tea pr reject` does not work on your own PRs** — use `tea comment` instead
+- **Never delete protected branches:** `main`, `maintenance`, `server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci` are protected on Gitea. Do not use `tea pr clean`, `git push --delete`, or `git branch -D` on these branches.
+
+## Pull requests
+
+**Use `tea` (Gitea CLI), not `gh` (GitHub CLI).** The remote is Gitea at `git.schweitz.internal`.
+
+Always provide all required flags to ensure non-interactive execution:
+```bash
+tea pr create \
+  --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach \
+  --login schweitz \
+  --title "feat(scope): short description" \
+  --description "PR body here" \
+  --base main \
+  --head branch-name

+# Team Patterns
+
+## Model selection
+
+Default model is Opus 4.6 (200K context). For heavy sessions (workshops,
+sprint planning, large reviews), switch to extended context on-demand:
+
+- `/model sonnet[1m]` — Sonnet 4.6 with 1M context window
+- `/model opus[1m]` — Opus 4.6 with 1M context window
+- Cost: 2x input + 1.5x output for tokens beyond 200K (Tier 4 required)
+
+## Large content pushes
+
+When producing many files (wiki pages, content batches, bulk docs):
+1. **Lore librarian** agent (read-only): ingests all source material, answers focused context queries from writers, tracks cross-file consistency
+2. **Multiple writer** agents (parallel, by domain): each gets a task slice, writes directly to disk using the Write tool — one file at a time, write often, no text accumulation
+3. **Reviewer** agents (blocked until writing done): check voice consistency, attribute uniformity, style
+
+Key: writers use Write tool directly (no transcription bottleneck), librarian catches contradictions early, split work by domain not volume.
+
+## Team monitoring (stuck agent detection)
+
+When leading a team (sprint, workshop, or any multi-agent session):
+
+**Agent heartbeat rule** — include in every agent spawn prompt:
+> If you have been working on a single task for more than 15 minutes
+> without making progress, message the team lead with what is blocking
+> you. Do not keep retrying the same approach silently.
+
+**Team lead proactive checks:**
+- If an agent has not sent a message in ~20 minutes, ping them for a status update.
+- **Bottleneck detection:** if other agents are idle and waiting on one agent's output, that agent's silence is a red flag — check on them immediately, do not wait for the next natural message.
+- When checking on a stuck agent, offer to reassign the task or pull in another agent to help.

+
+# Bug Report Skill
+
+Process in-game bug reports exported by the Godot client to the user data
+directory. Each report is a directory containing a snapshot of game state at the
+moment the tester filed the report.
+
+```
+BUG_REPORT_DIR: /var/home/jeroenschweitzer/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/The Settled Reach/bug-reports/
+```
+
+## Report structure
+
+Each report lives in a directory named `gauntlet-t{tick}-{timestamp}/` and
+contains these files:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `description.txt` | Tester notes + metadata (tick, room, stance, facing, position) |
+| `render.txt` | Simplified text render of the game snapshot |
+| `snapshot.json` | Full JSON snapshot (entities, dialogue state, etc.) |
+| `inputs.jsonl` | Last 60 ticks of player input (replay format) |
+| `snapshots.jsonl` | Last 60 ticks of observer snapshots |
+| `seed.txt` | RNG seed for deterministic replay |
+
+## Invocation
+
+- `/bug-report` — scan and process all unprocessed reports
+- `/bug-report <directory-name>` — process a specific report by directory name
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Scan for unprocessed reports
+
+List all report directories in the bug reports directory:
+
+```bash
+ls -1d "/var/home/jeroenschweitzer/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/The Settled Reach/bug-reports/"*/
+```
+
+If no directories are found, report "No bug reports found." and stop.
+
+If the user provided a specific directory name as argument, filter to only that
+directory. If it does not exist, report the error and list available reports.
+
+### 2. Read and summarize each report
+
+For each report directory, read the following files using the Read tool:
+
+1. **`description.txt`** — extract:
+   - Tester description / notes (free text at top)
+   - Tick number
+   - Room name
+   - Player stance, facing, position
+2. **`render.txt`** — extract:
+   - A brief description of what the text render shows (room layout, visible
+     entities, player position marker)
+3. **`snapshot.json`** — extract:
+   - Total entity count
+   - Whether dialogue is active (look for `dialogue` or `conversation` keys
+     with non-null/non-empty values)
+   - Whether monologue is active (look for `monologue` keys with non-null/
+     non-empty values)
+   - NPC names and positions if present
+   - Any error or anomaly fields
+4. **`seed.txt`** — note the seed value for reference
+
+Do NOT read `inputs.jsonl` or `snapshots.jsonl` during the summary phase.
+These are large files reserved for the investigation step.
+
+### 3. Present the summary list
+
+Present a numbered list of all reports with their summaries. Format:
+
+```
+## Bug Reports Found: N
+
+### 1. gauntlet-t{tick}-{timestamp}
+- **Tick:** {tick} | **Room:** {room} | **Position:** ({x}, {y})
+- **Stance:** {stance} | **Facing:** {facing}
+- **Entities:** {count} | **Dialogue active:** yes/no | **Monologue active:** yes/no
+- **Seed:** {seed}
+- **Description:** {tester notes, first 2-3 lines}
+- **Render overview:** {brief description of what render.txt shows}
+- **Observations:** {any anomalies spotted in the snapshot}
+
+### 2. gauntlet-t{tick}-{timestamp}
+...
+```
+
+### 4. Offer actions per report
+
+After presenting the summary list, ask the user which action to take for each
+report. The three actions are:
+
+#### Investigate
+
+Dig deeper into the report for root cause analysis:
+
+1. Read `snapshot.json` in full — analyze entity states, component values,
+   relationships between entities, any inconsistencies
+2. Read `inputs.jsonl` — reconstruct what the player was doing in the 60 ticks
+   leading up to the report. Look for:
+   - Rapid input changes (stuck keys, input spam)
+   - Movement into walls or invalid positions
+   - Interaction attempts that may have failed
+   - Timing patterns (actions on same tick as state changes)
+3. Read `snapshots.jsonl` — compare entity states across recent ticks to find
+   when the bug manifested:
+   - Entity position jumps
+   - State machine transitions that look wrong
+   - Component values going out of expected range
+   - Entities appearing or disappearing unexpectedly
+4. Cross-reference with `render.txt` to confirm visual manifestation
+5. Read `seed.txt` and note it — the seed plus `inputs.jsonl` should allow
+   deterministic replay of the scenario
+
+Present findings as a root cause analysis:
+
+```
+## Investigation: gauntlet-t{tick}-{timestamp}
+
+### Timeline
+- t{tick-N}: {what happened}
+- t{tick-M}: {state change}
+- t{tick}: {bug manifests}
+
+### Root cause
+{Analysis of what went wrong and why}
+
+### Affected systems
+- {system 1}: {how it's involved}
+- {system 2}: {how it's involved}
+
+### Reproduction
+Seed: {seed}
+Replay inputs.jsonl from tick {start} to reproduce.
+
+### Suggested fix
+{If identifiable from the snapshot data}
+```
+
+After investigation, return to the action prompt for this report (the user
+may want to create a ticket or dismiss after investigating).
+
+#### Create ticket
+
+Create a bug ticket in the project database. Determine the team from the
+nature of the bug:
+
+- **server** — simulation bugs (entity state, movement, AI, ECS systems,
+  perception, knowledge graph)
+- **client** — rendering bugs (display glitches, UI issues, input handling,
+  audio, visual artifacts)
+- **server,client** — integration bugs (protocol mismatch, desync, bridge
+  issues)
+
+Construct the ticket title and description from the report summary and any
+investigation findings. Use the ticket CLI:
+
+```bash
+tooling/db/ticket create bug "{title}" --team {team} --description "{description}"
+```
+
+The description should include:
+- Bug summary (from tester notes)
+- Tick, room, position
+- Key observations from snapshot analysis
+- Seed for reproduction
+- Report directory name for reference
+
+After creating the ticket, report the ticket ID to the user.
+
+#### Dismiss
+
+Mark the report as not actionable. Remove the report directory:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf "/var/home/jeroenschweitzer/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/The Settled Reach/bug-reports/{report-dir}/"
+```
+
+**Always confirm with the user before deleting.** State clearly which directory
+will be removed and wait for confirmation.
+
+### 5. Batch processing
+
+When processing multiple reports, work through them one at a time in the
+numbered order presented. For each report, complete the chosen action before
+moving to the next.
+
+If the user wants to batch-dismiss multiple reports, confirm the full list
+of directories that will be deleted before proceeding.
+
+### 6. Final summary
+
+After all reports have been processed, present a summary:
+
+```
+## Bug Report Processing Complete
+
+- **Investigated:** {count}
+- **Tickets created:** {count} ({ticket IDs})
+- **Dismissed:** {count}
+- **Remaining unprocessed:** {count}
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+- Large `snapshot.json` files may need to be read with offset/limit parameters.
+  Start with the first 200 lines to get the structure, then target specific
+  sections.
+- `inputs.jsonl` and `snapshots.jsonl` are newline-delimited JSON. Each line
+  is one tick. Read the last 10-20 lines first to focus on the moments before
+  the report was filed.
+- The `render.txt` is a text-art representation of the game view. Entity
+  positions in the render should match positions in the snapshot. Mismatches
+  are themselves a bug signal (rendering vs simulation desync).
+- The seed in `seed.txt` combined with `inputs.jsonl` enables deterministic
+  replay on the server. Note this in any ticket you create.
+- If the bug-reports directory does not exist, the tester has not yet run any
+  gauntlet sessions or has not filed any reports. This is not an error.

+
+**Binary:** `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/d2`
+
+## Project Defaults
+
+| Setting | Value | Override |
+|---------|-------|----------|
+| Theme | 200 (Dark Mauve) | `--theme N` |
+| Layout | dagre | `--layout elk` |
+| Padding | 100px | — |

+```
+
+Both `.d2` source and `.png` output are tracked in git.
+
+## Single Diagram Workflow
+
+1. **Determine category** — architecture, data-flow, entity, state, or ui
+2. **Read template** — `references/diagram-templates.md` for the matching category
+3. **Read syntax** — `references/d2-syntax-guide.md` if unfamiliar with d2 syntax
+4. **Write .d2 source** — to `docs/diagrams/{category}/{name}.d2`
+5. **Validate** — `.claude/skills/d2-diagram/scripts/d2-render.sh validate {file}`

+
+- **Qatux** — Architecture decision records, system overview diagrams, data
+  schemas. Prefer architecture and entity templates.
+- **Tyre** — IPC bridge, ECS system flow, chunk loading pipeline, perception
+  system data flow. Prefer architecture and data-flow templates.
+- **Araminta** — UI navigation flow, screen transitions, component hierarchy.
+  Prefer UI flow template.

+  Create and export UI wireframes using Frame0 (local desktop wireframing
+  app with HTTP API). Use when the user says "create wireframe", "wireframe
+  this", "mock up the UI", "draw a screen", "UI layout", "wireframe the HUD",
+  "Frame0", "frame0", "export wireframe", or invokes /frame0-wireframe.
+  Wireframes are authored as local JSON files (source of truth) and synced
+  to Frame0 for rendering and export. Requires Frame0 to be running locally.
+---
+
+# Frame0 Wireframe Generation
+
+Create UI wireframes as JSON files, sync them to Frame0 for rendering, and
+export as PNG. Local JSON is the source of truth — Frame0 is the renderer.
+
+**Frame0 is a renderer, not a workspace.** Treat it as disposable output.
+Push freely, delete test pages, keep it clean. Never pull from Frame0 unless
+the user explicitly says they have made edits in Frame0 and want to import
+them. The pull workflow exists for that case only — do not use it proactively.
+
+**Prerequisite:** Frame0 desktop app must be running. If not available,
+stop and inform the user. Point to `references/setup-guide.md`.
+
+## Health Check
+
+Always check first:
+
+```bash
+.claude/skills/frame0-wireframe/scripts/frame0-cmd.sh health
+```
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+1. **Health check** — verify Frame0 is running
+2. **Write wireframe JSON** — to `docs/design/wireframes/{category}/{name}.json`
+3. **Push to Frame0** — `frame0-sync.py push <file.json>`
+4. **Export PNG** — `frame0-sync.py export <file.json> <output.png>`
+5. **Clean up** — delete test/scratch pages from Frame0 when done
+
+### Scripts
+
+| Script | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `scripts/frame0-sync.py` | **Primary.** Push/pull/export wireframes between JSON and Frame0 |
+| `scripts/frame0-cmd.sh` | Low-level API wrapper for ad-hoc commands |

+}
+```
+
+### Key rules
+
+- **Shape IDs are stable local IDs** you control (e.g. `"panel"`, `"btn-ask"`)
+- **`parent`** references another local shape ID for nesting
+- **`type`** uses create-API names: `Rectangle`, `Ellipse`, `Text`, `Line`
+- **Colors** can be hex (`#2a3040`) or Frame0 theme tokens (`$slate6`)
+- After a pull, Frame0 returns its native vocabulary (`Box` for Rectangle,
+  theme tokens for colors). The sync script handles the mapping transparently.
+- The `.idmap.json` mapping file (gitignored) tracks local ID ↔ Frame0 ID
+
+### Sync commands
+
+```bash
+SYNC=".claude/skills/frame0-wireframe/scripts/frame0-sync.py"
+
+# Push local JSON to Frame0 (clears page, recreates all shapes)
+$SYNC push docs/design/wireframes/dialogue/dialogue-box.json
+
+# Pull Frame0 page back to local JSON (preserves local IDs via mapping)
+$SYNC pull "Dialogue Box" docs/design/wireframes/dialogue/dialogue-box.json
+
+# Push + export as PNG in one step
+$SYNC export docs/design/wireframes/dialogue/dialogue-box.json \
+  docs/design/wireframes/dialogue/dialogue-box.png
+```
+
+### Batch export
+
+Use this when exporting multiple wireframes. It runs as a single Bash call,
+avoiding repeated permission prompts.
+
+```bash
+BATCH=".claude/skills/frame0-wireframe/scripts/frame0-export-batch.sh"
+
+# Dry run first — shows full manifest, no Frame0 calls
+$BATCH --dry-run
+
+# Export everything (skips PNGs already newer than their JSON)
+$BATCH
+
+# Export one category only
+$BATCH --category dialogue
+
+# Force re-export of everything
+$BATCH --force
+```
+
+**Always dry-run first, then get approval before running the live export.**
+
+## Low-Level Commands
+
+For ad-hoc operations or exec calls not covered by sync:
+
+```bash
+CMD=".claude/skills/frame0-wireframe/scripts/frame0-cmd.sh"
+$CMD health
+$CMD list-pages
+$CMD current-page
+$CMD get-page <page-id>
+$CMD create-shape Rectangle '{"name":"btn","left":100,"top":100,"width":120,"height":36}'
+$CMD create-connector <tail-id> <head-id>
+$CMD move <shape-id> <dx> <dy>
+$CMD export --format image/png
+$CMD exec "view:fit-to-screen" '{}'
+```
+
+If you find yourself using `exec` for the same command repeatedly, flag it as
+a candidate for a proper wrapper in `frame0-cmd.sh`.
+
+## Project Styling Defaults
+
+Colors from `docs/design/visual-grammar-v01.md`:
+
+| Role | Hex | Frame0 token |
+|------|-----|-------------|
+| Background | `#1a1e24` | `$sage3` |
+| Stroke | `#333340` | `$slate6` |
+| Fill | `#2a3040` | `$slate5` |
+| Text | `#c8d0e0` | `$mint12` |
+| Accent | `#c8d8f0` | `$blue12` |
+
+Use hex when authoring new wireframes. Frame0 maps them to theme tokens on push.
+
+## Output Convention
+
+```
+docs/design/wireframes/
+  hud/              # HUD layout wireframes
+  menus/            # Menu screen wireframes
+  dialogue/         # Dialogue box wireframes
+  insert/           # Neural insert wireframes
+```
+
+Both `.json` source and `.png` exports are tracked in git.
+`.idmap.json` mapping files are gitignored.

+# Frame0 HTTP API Reference
+
+Frame0 exposes a local HTTP API when the desktop app is running.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+```
+POST http://localhost:{port}/execute_command
+Content-Type: application/json
+```
+
+Default port: **58320** (override via `FRAME0_PORT` env var or `--port` flag).
+
+## Request / Response
+
+```json
+{"command": "namespace:action", "args": { ... }}
+```
+
+```json
+{"success": true, "data": { ... }}
+{"success": false, "error": "description"}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Type Mapping
+
+Frame0 uses different type names for create vs get:
+
+| Create API (`type`) | Get API (internal) | Description |
+|--------------------|--------------------|-------------|
+| `Rectangle` | `Box` | Rectangle with optional corners |
+| `Ellipse` | `Ellipse` | Circle/ellipse |
+| `Text` | `Text` | Text label |
+| `Line` | `Line` | Line/polyline |
+| `Frame` | `Frame` | Container from library |
+| `Freehand` | `Freehand` | Freehand drawing |
+| `Highlighter` | `Highlighter` | Highlighter stroke |
+
+The sync script handles this mapping transparently.
+
+## Color Tokens
+
+Frame0 maps hex colors to theme tokens on creation (`convertColors: true`):
+
+| Hex | Token | Role |
+|-----|-------|------|
+| `#1a1e24` | `$sage3` | Background |
+| `#2a3040` | `$slate5` | Fill |
+| `#333340` | `$slate6` | Stroke |
+| `#c8d0e0` | `$mint12` | Text |
+| `#c8d8f0` | `$blue12` | Accent |
+
+Both hex and token strings work in the API. Tokens are preserved on round-trip.

+# Frame0 Setup Guide
+
+## Installation (Fedora)
+
+Download from https://frame0.app/download and install the RPM:
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install ./frame0-*.x86_64.rpm
+```
+
+Requires: Fedora 40 or later (x86_64).
+
+## Starting Frame0
+
+Launch the desktop application:
+
+```bash
+frame0 &
+```
+
+Frame0 exposes an HTTP API at `localhost:58320` when running.
+
+## Verify API Access
+
+```bash
+.claude/skills/frame0-wireframe/scripts/frame0-cmd.sh health
+```
+
+Expected output: `Frame0 is running on port 58320`
+
+## Port Configuration
+
+Default port: **58320**
+
+To use a different port, set the environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export FRAME0_PORT=58321
+```
+
+Or pass `--port` to any script:
+
+```bash
+.claude/skills/frame0-wireframe/scripts/frame0-cmd.sh --port 58321 health
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
+|---------|-------|-----|
+| "Connection refused" | Frame0 not running | Start the desktop app |
+| "Port in use" | Another instance running | Close duplicate or use different port |
+| Script hangs | API unresponsive | Restart Frame0 |

+     blocked the copy team." Ask: why was there a dependency chain? Was

+**Delegate this entire skill to a subagent** (general-purpose, model: haiku).
+
+When this skill is invoked, spawn a subagent using the Task tool:
+
+```
+Task(
+  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
+  model: "haiku",
+  prompt: "Run /sprint-status. Read the skill at
+    .claude/skills/sprint-status/SKILL.md for the full workflow
+    (below the --- separator), then execute it.",
+  description: "Sprint status report"
+)
+```
+
+Present the subagent's output to the user verbatim. Do NOT run the
+workflow yourself.
+
+---
+
+The remainder of this file is the subagent's reference for executing
+the workflow.
+
+## Step 1 — Gather data
+
+Run these two commands in parallel:
+
+```bash
+tooling/db/sprint sweep
+```
+
+```bash
+tea pr list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
+```
+
+The `sweep` command returns JSON with:
+- `sprint` — id, name, goal
+- `progress` — total, done, pct
+- `by_status` — tickets grouped into done, review, in_progress, blocked, backlog
+- `by_team` — per-team counts
+- `issues` — bookkeeping problems with suggested fix commands
+
+The `tea pr list` returns open PRs as `#N title` lines.
+
+## Step 2 — Cross-reference PRs with tickets
+
+Parse PR head branches from the `tea pr list` output. Known team branches:
+`server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci`.
+
+Detect additional issues:
+
+- **done_team_open_pr**: A team's tickets are all done but an open PR
+  still exists for that team branch.
+- **orphan_pr**: An open PR exists on a branch that has no tickets in
+  the active sprint.
+
+Add these to the issues list from step 1.
+
+## Step 3 — Format output
+
+Read `references/output-template.md` for the exact format spec.
+
+Render the report using data from steps 1-2. Key rules:
+- Sections ordered: Completed, In Review, In Progress, Blocked, Backlog
+- Sort tickets within sections by team then ticket ID
+- Empty sections: show header with "(0)" and "(none)" — no empty table
+- Bookkeeping Issues: two-column table (Issue, Fix)
+- Open Work by Team: summary table at the bottom
+- Issue type labels: `stale_backlog` → "Stale backlog",
+  `unassigned_in_progress` → "Unassigned in_progress",
+  `assigned_but_done` → "Assigned but done",
+  `done_team_open_pr` → "Done team with open PR",
+  `orphan_pr` → "Orphan PR"
+
+## Step 4 — Suggest actions
+
+After the formatted report, if there are bookkeeping issues, add a
+"Suggested fixes" section with the fix command for each issue. Group
+by issue type for readability.

-**Always ask the user before wrapping up.** There may be more to discuss or additional rounds needed. Only proceed to wrap-up when the user confirms.
+**The user decides when the workshop ends and when the team is dismissed.** Never initiate shutdown, team cleanup, or wrap-up autonomously. Only proceed when the user explicitly says to wrap up.
 
-Wrap-up sequence:
-1. Qatux produces final `workshop-outcomes.md` from accumulated notes
-2. If SI is present, SI creates tickets from decided items
-3. Send shutdown_request to all agents (qatux and si last, after they finish their output tasks)
-4. TeamDelete to clean up
+Before the user dismisses the team, the following are **hard requirements**:
+
+1. **User reviews final outcomes** — Present `workshop-outcomes.md` content to the user via AskUserQuestion. Get explicit approval before proceeding to filing.
+2. **D-records filed** — All new D-records, amendments, and supersessions are written to `decisions/` domain files. This is non-negotiable — workshops that produce decisions MUST file them before shutdown.
+3. **Discussion captured** — Qatux produces final `workshop-outcomes.md` from accumulated notes. Qatux creates or updates diagrams (via `/d2-diagram`) for any new D-records produced by the workshop.
+4. **Tickets created** — If SI is present, SI creates tickets from decided items and the user reviews the ticket list.
+5. **User gives explicit go-ahead to dismiss** — Only after steps 1-4 are complete AND the user confirms, send shutdown_request to all agents (qatux and si last).
+6. TeamDelete to clean up.

+**Never shortcut this sequence.** Filing D-records and capturing the discussion are not optional cleanup — they are workshop deliverables.

+## Workshop Format: Interview Mode
+
+When the workshop brief specifies `**Format:** Interview` (or the user requests "interactive interview mode"), the between-rounds flow changes for the interview round:
+
+### How Interview Mode Works
+
+Instead of agents writing responses to each other, the facilitator (team lead) conducts a live interview with the user:
+
+1. **Collect all agent questions** — Read all Round 1 output files to gather every question.
+2. **Group thematically** — Organize questions into 5-7 thematic clusters (e.g., "The Vision," "The Confusion Type," "The Emotional Loop"). Questions from different agents that probe similar territory go together.
+3. **Present via AskUserQuestion** — Present each group using the `AskUserQuestion` tool, one group at a time (1-3 questions per group). For each question:
+   - Include the asking agent's name and domain
+   - Include the full question text with context
+   - Include the agent's reasoning for why the question matters
+   - Provide 2-4 option choices that represent distinct answer categories
+   - Always allow free-text via the "Other" option (automatic)
+4. **Capture nuance** — The user's free-text notes often contain the most important insights. Capture these verbatim in the transcript.
+5. **Summarize between groups** — After each group, briefly reflect back the key finding before moving to the next group.
+6. **Write full transcript** — When all groups are done, write the complete interview to `docs/workshops/{name}/lead-interview.md` with:
+   - Every question and full answer (verbatim where the user provided free text)
+   - Key findings per answer
+   - An interview summary section with the major revelations
+   - "What Survives" and "What Changes" sections
+
+### Why AskUserQuestion
+
+The user CANNOT see agent messages, task details, or file contents in the conversation. They only see your text output and AskUserQuestion prompts. Present all question context directly — never assume the user has read agent outputs.
+
+### Distributing Interview Results
+
+When creating Round 3 (proposal) tasks after an interview round, include the full transcript path and a summary of the major reframe in every agent's task description. If the user requests it, instruct agents to read the verbatim transcript.

+### Added
+- Zone identity specs renamed to location-specific: krenn-rural-zone.ron and krenn-industrial-zone.ron — acknowledges these are culture×zone content, not reusable templates (#630, Q-057)
+- ~108 new NPC behavior pool entries across all roles in both zone files — trader stage directions, foreman humanity behaviors, dock_worker/technician off-shift/break room behaviors (#630)
+- Q-057 open question: composable behavior generation — decompose hand-authored pools into role actions + culture modifiers + context tags (#633, #634)
+- Relationship-to-behavior pipeline — NPC behavior lines now reflect social connections (rivals ignore each other, friends gravitate, subordinates defer) (#631)
+- Want/State layer — NPCs have internal motives (Bored, Alert, Suspicious, AvoidingSomeone, LookingForInfo) that leak through observable micro-tells (#632)
+- LLM voice pipeline — Spike 1 (sr-voice CLI) and Spike 2 (full pipeline integration) complete. Gemma 2B Q4_K_M via stdin/stdout JSONL pipes, composition engine with double-prompt technique, 39 quality test cases (#638-644, D-138)
+
+## [v0.1.24] — 2026-03-06
+
+### Changed

+- Triangle activation consumer — urgent monologue chime fires once per triangle per session when triangle_crisis_events received (#590, D-039)
+- News ticker HUD — scrolling marquee visible in The Last Shift zone, hidden elsewhere, reads current_ticker from snapshot (#592, D-039)
+- Triangle activation proximity monologue lines — 5 smuggler lines (Kael Davan) and 5 detective lines (Sera Venn/Torek Lintar) that fire when observing triangle anchor NPCs post-activation (#597, D-035, D-039)

+
+## [v0.1.23] — 2026-03-04
+
+### Added

+- Debug console client — tilde-toggle UI panel with command input, output log, settings toggle, and full DebugCommandKind dispatch via protocol v18 (#581)
+- Entity-bound dialogue speaker colors — NPC colors assigned by entity ID (not screen position) with per-conversation lifecycle and round-robin palette (#573)
+- Sova Transit District tile maps — 5 locations authored: The Terminal (44×28), The Last Shift (34×22), Maintenance Corridors (58×6), Gate Ground (40×34), Gate Gallery (32×10) (#582, #583)
+
+### Fixed
+- LOS boundary walls — 1-tile wall margin beyond vision cone included in visible_tiles as BoundaryWall sector, walls at fog edge now render instead of bleeding into fog (#584)
+- LOS boundary walls client — BoundaryWall tiles render through fog without marking explored, 4 new fog tests verify lifecycle (#585)
+- Entity renderer test failures — updated 7 stale ColorRect/position assertions for Sprite2D migration, fixed SoundIndicatorRenderer class cache (#574)
+- Dialogue speaker color contrast — re-enforce contrast floor after desaturation for passive (overheard) lines
+- PROTOCOL_VERSION 17 → 18 mismatch — client rejected every server snapshot
+- Debug console D-088 pause — sim now pauses while console is open, matching dialogue/settings overlay behavior
+- Debug console settings toggle reads live state instead of ConfigFile, preventing checkbox divergence
+
+### Changed
+- PROTOCOL_VERSION bumped 17 → 18 (debug_response field on ObserverSnapshot, DebugCommand PlayerAction variant)
+
+## [v0.1.22] — 2026-03-03
+
+### Added

+- EntanglementConfig — per-seed NPC population ratios (flat/mundane/intrigue) sampled from seeded RNG with D-029 bounds, ensuring same seed = same world (#175, #178)
+- Fog debug mode — toggle FogState.debug_exploration to render raw exploration texture as colored overlay for diagnostic use
+- D-110 through D-112: z-level addressing, subterranean architecture, no instancing decisions
+- Q-051: speech bubble indicator over speaking NPCs
+- Sprint 22 "Wire" briefings (server, client, visual, CI, planning, joint)
+
+### Added (server)
+- Production NPC pool generation — 23 authored Sova NPCs spawn with EntanglementTag (Flat/Intrigue) based on triangle membership (#176, D-029)

+- Fuzzy map tests — 50-seed randomized testing of procedural maps against 4 structural invariants (#509)
+
+### Fixed
+- Fog shader: silent compilation failure in OpenGL3 compat mode — removed `return` statements from fragment() which are not supported, causing fog overlay to render as no-op (root cause of Sprint 22 fog regression)
+- Fog system: blocky stair-stepped edges at vision cone boundary — doubled Gaussian blur step size for D-066 compliant 6-8 tile smooth gradient (#569)
+- Fog system: zero visibility in explored areas — switched bounds calculation from visible_tiles (empty in live server mode) to visible_positions, and removed shader guard that cut off gradient bleed into unexplored tiles (#569)
+- Fog shader alpha tuned to D-059 spec: light fog 0.25-0.35 (was 0.25-0.55), deep fog 0.55-0.70 (was 0.78-0.90) — world content now visible through fog instead of hidden behind it (#563)
+
+### Changed
+- Fog shader now distinguishes light fog (near cone, neutral dark) from deep fog (far from cone, zone temperature tint) with separate Perlin noise breathing cycles (8-10s / 15-20s)
+- Zone temperature tint populated per-tile from server zone_id: bar=warm amber-dark, hub=cool blue-dark, corridor=neutral dark (D-059/D-046/D-077)
+- Simplified vision cone from 3-sector (forward/peripheral/blind) to forward-only 120° arc — server sends only forward-cone tiles, client renders explored tiles behind the player with light fog overlay
+- Simplified fog shader from 5-layer to 3-layer model (clear, explored, unexplored)
+- Fog texture resize now preserves exploration data — tiles behind the player stay as light fog instead of reverting to unexplored black
+- Updated D-015/D-017 perception decisions to reflect simplified cone model
+- Moved connector scripts from db/connectors/ to tooling/db/ (#274) — backwards-compat symlink removed in #568
+
+### Removed

+- D-093: Sova Transit District spatial layout — 4 social sites (Terminal, Bar, Gate Cluster, Sector 3), 2 encounter nodes, zone palette, gate cluster 7-zone spec, z-level scheme (z=0 maintenance, z=1 main, z=2 observation gallery), 3 investigation paths, corridor widths
+- D-094: Spatial hierarchy — chunk (64×64 sim) → block (128×128 sim) → district (4×4 blocks, 256×256 visual), supersedes D-014 estimate
+- D-095: Horizon stations and transport lore — span gates (human-built, dual-use), horizon stations (alien-built, 4-8 apertures), "The Ring" per-system naming, sequential hop travel, The Loop internal tram

+- SnapshotEventRouter — callable-based snapshot dispatch replaces inline if-has blocks in main.gd (#559)
+- YamlParser shared utility — unified YAML parsing for UI strings and checklist conditions (#560)
+
+### Fixed
+- Wire triangle crisis event queue into observer snapshot — clients now receive TriangleCrisisEventWire via protocol v16 (was always empty)
+- Persist TriangleState in SaveStateV1 — triangle phase and tension survive save/load cycles
+- Validate dangling with_role references in TriangleDef constraint validation
+- Replace O(n²) fallback NPC assignment with BTreeSet; prevent same NPC assigned to two roles in one triangle
+- Replace O(N*M) scan in apply_resolve_triangle with BTreeMap index for O(1) per-command lookup
+- Add From impls for RoleId, TriangleId, StableId, TriangleCrisisEventWire — eliminate fragile .0 newtype access
+- Consolidate near-identical unit tests with integration counterparts
+
+### Changed
+- Sova station profile updated — horizon gates located at The Krenn Ring (800 AU), not on Station Sova; Admin Hub houses transit processing facility only
+- game_state.gd: stationary_ticks and zone_id now read from server snapshot with deprecated client-side fallbacks (#557, D-020)
+- dialogue_box.gd: decoupled from GameState and AudioManager via signals — zero direct autoload references (#558, D-020)
+- main.gd: snapshot dispatch via SnapshotEventRouter, dialogue signal coordinator handlers (#559, #558)
+- ui_strings.gd and checklist_evaluator.gd: delegate to YamlParser, ~140 lines of duplication removed (#560)

 ## DevOps
 
 See [docs/DEVOPS.md](docs/DEVOPS.md) for build, test, lint, and CI procedures. All development operations go through the top-level `Makefile` — run `make` for a summary of targets.
 
 ## Agent Instructions
 
-### Worktree boundaries
+### Team boundaries
 
-This project uses **git worktrees** in a shared parent directory (`settled-reach/`). Each team branch (`server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci`) is checked out in its own worktree under that parent. The parent directory also contains shared resources like the ticketing database.
+**Your team identity is `$WORKTREE_TEAM`.** All work must stay within the current working directory.
 
-Each worktree contains the full repository: `server/` (Rust backend), `client/` (Godot client), `docs/`, `decisions/`, etc. The worktree root IS the git root — use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` if in doubt.
-
-Unless there is a direct instruction or a functional need (e.g. accessing the shared database in the parent directory), **all work must remain within the scope of the git root Claude is running in.**
-
-- All file paths are relative to the worktree/git root (e.g. `server/src/bridge/types.rs`, `client/scripts/rendering/fog.gd`).
-- Do not navigate to or access sibling worktrees in the parent directory (`../client/`, `../copy/`, etc.) unless explicitly instructed.
-- Do not navigate above the git root unless explicitly instructed.
+- All file paths are relative to the current working directory (e.g. `server/src/bridge/types.rs`).
+- **Do NOT navigate to parent or sibling directories** (`../`, `../client/`, etc.) unless explicitly instructed. Do NOT use absolute paths to reach other team directories.
+- **Do NOT write auto-memory files for other teams.** If `$WORKTREE_TEAM` is `server`, do not write to memory paths containing `client`, `main`, etc.
+- For context: each team has its own directory via git worktrees, sharing a parent directory (`settled-reach/`). The `.git` file points to a shared git directory — do not follow it to determine your working root.
+- **Exception — stale git lock files:** If a `git` command fails with `index.lock: File exists`, you may remove the lock file for **your own team only** (e.g. `main/.git/worktrees/$WORKTREE_TEAM/index.lock`). Never touch lock files belonging to other teams.
+- **Never chain git commands** in a single Bash call (e.g. `git add ... && git commit ...`). The shared `.git` directory means concurrent index access from the same terminal creates `index.lock` collisions. Always run `git add` and `git commit` as **separate sequential Bash calls**.

-db/connectors/ticket show 78
-db/connectors/ticket sprint --active

+### CLI tools
 
-### Sprint CLI
-**Use the sprint CLI for sprint-scoped operations.** It batches ticket queries and formats output for agent consumption:
-```bash
-db/connectors/sprint status                    # Current sprint progress
-db/connectors/sprint status --team server      # Team-scoped view
-db/connectors/sprint start-work --team client  # Full context dump for starting work

+### Testing preferences
 
-### Gitea access (tea CLI)
-**Never access the Gitea API directly** — use the `tea` CLI with all required flags to bypass interactive mode.
-
-Always pass `--login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --output simple` to avoid TTY prompts.
-
-```bash
-# List open PRs
-tea pr list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
-
-# View a PR with comments
-tea pr --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --comments -o simple <PR_NUMBER>
-
-# Post a comment on a PR (or issue)
-tea comment --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <NUMBER> "comment body"
-
-# Approve a PR
-tea pr approve --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <PR_NUMBER>
-
-# List issues
-tea issue list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
-```
-
-Key rules:
-- **All flags must be explicit** — omitting `--login` or `--repo` triggers interactive prompts that crash in Claude Code (no TTY)
-- **Use `--output simple`** for machine-readable output (no table borders)
-- **`tea comment` hangs with inline heredocs and multi-line strings.** Always write the comment body to a temp file first, then pass it via `$(cat)`:
-  ```bash
-  # Step 1: Write content to .tmp/ (gitignored) using the Write tool
-  # Step 2: Post via cat
-  tea comment --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <NUMBER> "$(cat .tmp/review-branch.md)"
-  ```
-- **`tea pr reject` does not work on your own PRs** — use `tea comment` instead
-- **Never delete protected branches:** `main`, `maintenance`, `server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci` are protected on Gitea. Do not use `tea pr clean`, `git push --delete`, or `git branch -D` on these branches.
+- **Prefer live Gauntlet testing over mocks.** For visual tests and rendering verification, use the full client/server pipeline (`--test-mode` + `SR_LIVE=1`) instead of TestHarness mocks. The Gauntlet test world produces production-identical data. Mocks can mask rendering bugs by taking different code paths.
+- **Gauntlet rooms are immutable.** Never modify existing rooms — new systems get new rooms. This ensures StableId determinism and fixture stability.
+- Three test tiers: (1) Live server — highest fidelity, (2) MessagePack replay via `Protocol.decode_snapshot()` — for unreachable rooms, (3) TestHarness mock — for UI-only tests where fog data doesn't matter.
+- `make fixtures-gauntlet` regenerates real server snapshot fixtures from the Gauntlet world.
 
 ### File conventions
 - Decisions: domain files in `decisions/` (see `decisions/README.md` for index)
 - Decision IDs: `D-NNN` (confirmed), `Q-NNN` (open questions), `R-NNN` (rejected)
+- **Claim IDs before writing:** `tooling/db/decision claim D <domain> "title"` — prevents ID collisions across worktrees
+- Diagrams: `.d2` source + `.png` renders in `docs/diagrams/{category}/`. Create or update diagrams via `/d2-diagram` when D-records are added or modified.
 - Discussion rounds: numbered sequentially, archived to `docs/discussions/` when complete
 - Briefings: one per agent, updated after decision-producing rounds
-- Tickets: managed via `db/connectors/ticket` CLI or `/ticket` skill
-
-### Commit conventions
-Use conventional commits with project-specific scopes:
-`agents`, `skills`, `docs`, `briefings`, `discussions`, `schema`, `db`, `config`, `engine`, `simulation`, `client`, `ui`, `audio`, `assets`, `meta`
-
-### Pull requests
-**Use `tea` (Gitea CLI), not `gh` (GitHub CLI).** The remote is Gitea at `git.schweitz.internal`.
-
-Always provide all required flags to ensure non-interactive execution:
-```bash
-tea pr create \
-  --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach \
-  --login schweitz \
-  --title "feat(scope): short description" \
-  --description "PR body here" \
-  --base main \
-  --head branch-name
-```
-
-### Large content pushes (team pattern)
-When producing many files (wiki pages, content batches, bulk docs):
-1. **Lore librarian** agent (read-only): ingests all source material, answers focused context queries from writers, tracks cross-file consistency
-2. **Multiple writer** agents (parallel, by domain): each gets a task slice, writes directly to disk using the Write tool — one file at a time, write often, no text accumulation
-3. **Reviewer** agents (blocked until writing done): check voice consistency, attribute uniformity, style
-
-Key: writers use Write tool directly (no transcription bottleneck), librarian catches contradictions early, split work by domain not volume.
-

+# Project Review: GEMINI-SCAN
+
+This document outlines a multi-step plan to conduct a comprehensive review of the project, covering its architecture, code quality, and security posture. It will also serve as a living document to record the findings of this review.
+
+## Project Review Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Discovery and Architecture Mapping
+
+1.  **Documentation Review:** Start by reading `README.md`, `DECISIONS.md`, and any documents in `docs/architecture/` to understand the project's stated goals, components, and architectural decisions.
+2.  **Component Identification:** Analyze the directory structure to identify the primary components, including the server, client, database, content pipeline, and tooling.
+3.  **Technology Stack Enumeration:** Identify the specific technologies, frameworks, and key libraries used in each component.
+4.  **Architecture Visualization:** Map the high-level architecture, describing how the components interact and the communication protocols between them.
+
+### Phase 2: Code Quality Assessment
+
+1.  **Automated Analysis:** Use available static analysis tools for the identified technologies (e.g., `clippy` for Rust, GDScript linters).
+2.  **Manual Code Review:** Manually review key sections of the codebase to assess readability, maintainability, modularity, error handling, and adherence to idiomatic coding practices.
+3.  **Testing Strategy Review:** Evaluate the extent and quality of existing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
+
+### Phase 3: Security Audit
+
+1.  **Dependency Vulnerability Scan:** Check for dependencies with known security vulnerabilities (e.g., `cargo audit`).
+2.  **Authentication & Authorization Review:** Analyze the implementation of user authentication, session management, and access control.
+3.  **Input Validation & Sanitization:** Look for potential injection vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injection, XSS) by reviewing how user and service inputs are handled.
+4.  **Secrets Management:** Check for insecure storage or exposure of secrets like API keys or database credentials.
+5.  **Communication Security:** Verify that data is encrypted in transit between components.
+
+### Phase 4: Reporting
+
+1.  **Synthesize Findings:** Compile the information from all phases into a structured report within this document.
+2.  **Provide Recommendations:** Include actionable recommendations for improving architecture, code quality, and security, prioritized by severity and effort.
+
+---
+
+## Review Findings
+
+### Phase 1: Discovery and Architecture Mapping
+
+**Status: Completed**
+
+#### 1. Documentation Review Summary
+
+The project's architecture is extensively documented in `README.md` and the `decisions/` directory, particularly `decisions/architecture.md`.
+
+- **Project:** "The Settled Reach," a top-down, single-player (multiplayer-ready) immersive simulation and detective game.
+- **Core Principle:** A strict client-server architecture is mandated (Decision D-010, D-020) to enforce information asymmetry, where the client only knows what the server tells it is perceptible. This is a core gameplay mechanic, not just a technical choice.
+- **Key Decision (D-020):** The team explicitly chose a **subprocess/IPC** bridge over a `GDExtension` (in-process) bridge to de-risk development, ensure stability, and enforce architectural separation. The Godot client and Rust server are entirely separate binaries.
+
+#### 2. Component Identification
+
+-   **`server/`**: A standalone Rust application that runs the entire game simulation. It is the "server" in the client-server model.
+-   **`client/`**: A Godot 4 project that acts as a "dumb" client. Its sole responsibilities are rendering, audio playback, and capturing user input. It contains no game logic, as mandated by the architecture.
+-   **`content/`**: Contains game data, primarily in YAML format.
+-   **`db/`**: Holds a `schema.sql` file. Its role is not yet clear from the architectural documents, as the primary game state is managed in the ECS. It may be for tooling or an auxiliary system.
+-   **`tooling/`**: A collection of helper and utility scripts.
+
+#### 3. Technology Stack
+
+-   **Server (Rust):**
+    -   **ECS Framework:** `bevy_ecs` (v0.18) is used for the core simulation, confirming Decision D-020. `bevy_app` is used for scheduling.
+    -   **Serialization:** `rmp-serde` (MessagePack) is the primary protocol for client-server communication, as specified in D-020. `serde_yaml` and `ron` are used for content and configuration.
+-   **Client (Godot):**
+    -   **Engine:** Godot 4.x.
+    -   **Language:** GDScript.
+    -   **Bridge:** A `SimBridge` autoload script is the client-side entry point for communicating with the Rust subprocess.
+    -   **Testing:** `gdUnit4` is configured for unit/integration testing on the client.
+
+#### 4. High-Level Architecture
+
+The architecture is a pure, decoupled client-server model running locally for single-player:
+
+1.  **Initiation:** The Godot client launches the Rust server binary as a child process.
+2.  **Communication:** The client's `SimBridge` connects to the server via a local IPC mechanism (e.g., a local TCP or Unix socket).
+3.  **Input Loop:** The Godot client captures raw input (e.g., 'W' key press), translates it into a semantic action (e.g., `PlayerAction::MoveNorth`), and sends it to the server.
+4.  **Simulation Loop:** The Rust server receives the action, processes it within the `bevy_ecs` world, and runs the simulation for one tick (AI, physics, events, etc.).
+5.  **Perception Loop:** After the tick, the server calculates an `ObserverSnapshot` for the player's character. This snapshot contains *only* the information that character can perceive (e.g., visible entities, audible sounds, known facts). This enforces the game's core mechanic.
+6.  **Render Loop:** The `ObserverSnapshot` is sent to the Godot client, which uses it to update the visual scene, play sounds, and display UI elements. The client is a pure renderer of the state provided by the server.
+
+This architecture is robust, scalable, and directly implements the game's central design pillars. It is well-suited for both single-player and future multiplayer development.
+
+### Phase 2: Code Quality Assessment
+
+**Status: Completed**
+
+#### 1. Automated Analysis (Rust Server)
+
+-   **`cargo check`**: The command passed successfully, indicating that the server code is compilable and free of basic errors and warnings.
+-   **`cargo clippy -- --deny warnings`**: This command failed with **66 errors**. This is a critical finding. It reveals that while the code works, it does not adhere to the project's own strict linting rules.
+-   **Clippy Findings:** The errors indicate a consistent pattern of "code quality debt":
+    -   **High Complexity:** Numerous Bevy systems have overly complex type signatures (`clippy::type_complexity`) and too many arguments (`clippy::too_many_arguments`), harming readability.
+    -   **Non-Idiomatic Code:** The codebase is rife with minor stylistic issues that `clippy` can automatically fix, such as redundant `clone` calls, manual `Default` implementations, and opportunities to use more concise iterators.
+    -   **Potential Bugs:** Clippy identified `unnecessary_unwrap` calls (safer alternatives exist) and at least one `absurd_extreme_comparisons` error, which could point to dead code or a logic bug related to a constant value.
+
+#### 2. Manual Code Review
+
+-   **Server (`server/src/main.rs`):** The server entry point is well-structured. It features clear command-line argument parsing, robust setup of the TCP listener and IPC handshake, and a main loop with excellent panic-handling (`catch_unwind`) for stability. The modular plugin-based approach to building the Bevy `App` is idiomatic and clean.
+-   **Client (`client/scripts/autoloads/sim_bridge.gd`):** The `SimBridge` is the centerpiece of the client and is implemented to a high standard. It uses a clear state machine to manage the connection lifecycle, handles the server subprocess management, and implements efficient buffering for inputs and snapshots. The inclusion of a complete `TestHarness` for isolated client testing is a standout feature.
+-   **Overall Impression:** The manual review confirms that the code is professionally written and implements the intended architecture faithfully. The developers are skilled in both Rust/Bevy and GDScript.
+
+#### 3. Testing Strategy Review
+
+The project's testing strategy is **exemplary** and a major strength.
+
+-   **Comprehensive Coverage:** Both the Rust server and the Godot client have extensive test suites, as evidenced by the large number of files in `server/tests/` and `client/tests/`.
+-   **Multi-Layered Approach (per D-030):** The project successfully implements a sophisticated testing hierarchy:
+    -   **Unit Tests:** For isolated logic.
+    -   **Integration Tests:** The server tests demonstrate in-memory ECS testing (`information_boundaries.rs`) and full-stack tests that spin up a real server process (`test_e2e_connection.gd`).
+    -   **Specialized Tests:** The suite includes performance benchmarks, determinism validation, and even what appears to be visual regression testing for the client.
+-   **Principle-Driven Testing:** Tests are designed to validate core architectural guarantees. The `information_boundaries.rs` test, which uses negative assertions to ensure information *doesn't* leak, is a prime example of this mature approach.
+
+#### 4. Conclusion on Code Quality
+
+The project's code quality is a tale of two cities. On one hand, the **architecture and implementation are excellent**, and the **testing strategy is world-class**. On the other hand, there is a **significant, measurable amount of linting debt** in the Rust codebase.
+
+The fact that `cargo check` passes but `clippy --deny warnings` fails so extensively suggests that developers may not be running the strict clippy check locally before committing. This is the single biggest opportunity for improvement in the project's engineering discipline.
+
+### Phase 3: Security Audit
+
+**Status: Completed**
+
+The security posture of the project is strong for its current scope as a locally-run, single-player game. The attack surface is minimal, and the implementation avoids common vulnerability classes.
+
+1.  **Dependency Vulnerability Scan (`cargo audit`):**
+    -   The audit revealed one **medium-risk** finding: the `bincode` crate (v1.3.3) is **unmaintained** (`RUSTSEC-2025-0141`).
+    -   **Impact:** While there are no current vulnerabilities, this version will not receive future security patches. This poses a long-term maintenance risk.
+    -   **Recommendation:** Prioritize migrating from `bincode` v1.x to the latest stable v2.x.
+
+2.  **Authentication and Authorization:**
+    -   There is **no traditional authentication or authorization system** (e.g., user logins, passwords, roles).
+    -   This is appropriate and secure for a single-player game where the execution environment is the user's own machine.
+    -   Concepts like `ScanAuthority` and `AccessTier::Authority` are purely in-game mechanics and are not related to user permissions.
+
+3.  **Input Validation and Sanitization:**
+    -   **Excellent.** The server is not vulnerable to injection attacks from client input.
+    -   All client actions, including debug commands, are parsed into a strongly-typed Rust `enum`. This **command pattern** approach prevents the execution of arbitrary code or strings.
+    -   String inputs are used safely as keys for data lookups, not for execution.
+
+4.  **SQL Injection:**
+    -   **Not applicable.** The codebase contains no SQL. All game state is managed in-memory via the Bevy ECS framework, eliminating this entire class of vulnerability. The `db/schema.sql` file appears to be unused by the server.
+
+5.  **Secrets Management:**
+    -   **Excellent.** A search confirmed there are **no hardcoded secrets**, API keys, or passwords in the repository.
+    -   The `.env` file contains only a non-sensitive `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` identifier.
+    -   The pervasive use of the word "secret" throughout the code refers to an in-game mechanic, not application secrets.
+
+6.  **Communication Security:**
+    -   Communication between the client and the server subprocess occurs over an **unencrypted local TCP socket**.
+    -   For a single-player game running on a single machine, this is a standard and acceptable practice.
+    - **Future Consideration:** For the planned multiplayer feature, this communication channel must be secured (e.g., using TLS).
+
+    ### Phase 4: Final Report and Recommendations
+
+    **Status: Completed**
+
+    #### Overall Summary
+
+    This project is in an excellent state. It is built on a robust, well-documented, and scalable architecture that directly serves the game's core design pillars. The implementation quality is high, and the commitment to a comprehensive, multi-layered testing strategy is world-class. The project's security posture is strong for its current single-player scope, with a minimal attack surface and good practices around input validation and secrets management.
+
+    The project's primary weakness lies not in its design, but in its development discipline. A significant amount of code quality debt has accumulated in the Rust server, as evidenced by the large number of `clippy` failures. This suggests a gap between the project's high standards and its day-to-day coding practices.
+
+    #### Prioritized Recommendations
+
+    **1. High Priority: Eliminate Code Quality Debt**
+
+    -   **Action:** Create a high-priority technical debt task to fix all 66 errors reported by `cargo clippy -- --deny warnings`. Many of these can be fixed automatically (`cargo clippy --fix`), while others, like refactoring complex types, will require manual effort.
+    -   **Process Improvement:** **Integrate `cargo clippy -- --deny warnings` into the CI pipeline as a mandatory check for all pull requests.** This is the single most important process change needed to maintain the project's high standards and prevent future quality debt.
+
+    **2. Medium Priority: Mitigate Dependency Risk**
+
+    -   **Action:** Plan and execute the migration of the `bincode` serialization crate from the unmaintained v1.x to the latest stable v2.x. This resolves the `RUSTSEC-2025-0141` warning and ensures the project receives future security patches for this critical dependency.
+
+    **3. Low Priority: Future-Proof for Multiplayer**
+
+    -   **Action:** Create a design task or ticket to formally plan the security model for the future multiplayer version. This should specifically address securing the client-server IPC channel (e.g., with TLS) to protect game traffic when it eventually runs over a public network. This is not an immediate concern but should be tracked for the future.

+## Qualitative Review: A Critical Perspective
+
+### Feasibility Assessment
+
+**Conclusion: High-Risk / High-Reward**
+
+The decision to pivot from a hand-authored detective game to a generator-first life-sim was absolutely the correct one; it demonstrates a team that is commendably focused on finding the "fun" and is not afraid of drastic course corrections. However, in doing so, the project has traded a difficult but solvable problem (making a good, authored narrative game) for one of the "holy grail" problems in game development: creating emotionally resonant, procedurally generated characters.
+
+The project's feasibility is no longer a question of the team's technical competence, which is demonstrably high. It is now a question of creative and design risk.
+
+-   **Challenging the Core Assumption:** The project's central hypothesis is that a generator can produce "legible NPCs" that players will form an emotional attachment to. This is an explicit goal from the "Where's the Fun?" workshop, but it's a notoriously difficult problem. Procedural generation excels at creating systems, events, and surprising scenarios (the `Rimworld` model the team cites). It is historically poor at creating *character*. The risk is that the generator, even if technically successful, will produce a world of automata who have traits but no soul, undermining the entire "life-sim" pillar. The current plan to use AI for content templating is a modern approach, but it does not fundamentally de-risk this creative challenge.
+
+-   **A Creative Alternative to De-Risk "Legibility":** Instead of relying on the generator to create personality from scratch, consider a hybrid approach. Use the generator for what it's good at: creating the world, the economic conditions, the social networks, and the *starting situations*. Then, use a small number of hand-authored "personality archetypes" or "souls" that can be injected into high-value generated NPC bodies. Let the generator create a compelling *context* (e.g., a failing business, a political rivalry), and then let an author give one or two key NPCs within that context a memorable voice and motivation. This would concentrate the high-cost authoring work where it has the most emotional impact, while still benefiting from procedural variety.
+
+-   **The "Tycoon" Aimlessness Risk:** The new v0.2 "tycoon" direction, with its philosophy of "player choices ARE the content," carries a significant risk of feeling aimless. `Rimworld` and `The Sims` avoid this by providing extremely strong and immediate feedback loops (survival, creativity, social meters). A business management loop is often slower and more abstract. If the "broad life verbs" don't connect to clear, compelling, player-driven goals, the game risks feeling like a spreadsheet. The generator should not just create a sandbox; it should create *problems*. The starting bookmark shouldn't just be "you own a bar," but "you own a bar that's on the verge of bankruptcy," or "you have a shipping contract, but a powerful rival is trying to steal it." These initial, generator-created problems would provide immediate narrative velocity and make the player's subsequent choices feel meaningful from day one.
+
+In summary, the project is technically feasible, but its creative and design goals are now exceptionally ambitious. The current "generator spike" is a necessary technical step, but it will not validate the core creative risk. The true test of feasibility will come when a prototype is playtested and the team can answer the question: "Does the player actually *care* about any of these generated people?"
+
+### Fun Factor Assessment
+
+**Conclusion: Theoretically High, Practically Undefined**
+
+The pivot to a "life-sim with emergent narrative" dramatically increases the project's potential for deep, replayable fun. The new direction targets a proven and compelling player fantasy. However, the project's documentation currently focuses more on the "what" (a generator) than the "why" (the engine of fun). The potential is immense, but it is entirely contingent on designing and tuning the systems that create interesting consequences, not just a complex world.
+
+-   **Challenging the "Emergent Fun" Assumption:** The workshop concluded with the philosophy that "player choices ARE the content." This is true, but it's only half the story. Fun in systems-driven games doesn't simply "emerge" from a sufficiently complex simulation; it is a direct product of carefully designed feedback loops. `Rimworld`, a key inspiration, is not fun because it's a realistic simulation; it's fun because it's a masterfully tuned **story-and-disaster engine**. `The Sims` is fun because of its rich palette of social and creative tools. The critical question for this project is: **What is our fun engine?** Is it the economic simulation? The social dynamics? The risk is creating a simulation that is intricate but inert, where player choices lead to predictable numerical changes rather than dramatic, narrative consequences.
+
+-   **Creative Input: Design a "Consequence Engine":** The "dual-scale consequence model" (D-132) is the most promising concept in the design documents, and it should be the central focus of the design effort. The fun of this game will not be in choosing from a list of "broad life verbs"; it will be in seeing how a seemingly minor action ("fire this employee") snowballs through the simulation's systems and unexpectedly triggers a "sharp event" crisis hours later.
+    -   **Example:** Does the fired employee's spouse work for your biggest supplier? Does that supplier now mysteriously raise their prices? Does this force you to seek a new, shadier supplier, which in turn attracts the attention of a criminal faction?
+    -   This causal chain is the *real* content. The design team's primary task is not just to build a generator, but to design and tune this **"consequence engine,"** ensuring that the world feels interconnected and reacts to the player in surprising, legible, and memorable ways.
+
+-   **The Player Fantasy Needs a Goal Generator:** The "tycoon" bookmark is a strong start, but to avoid aimlessness, the player needs problems to solve. Instead of starting the player in a stable sandbox, the generator should be used to create compelling **initial conditions**. Let the player inherit a bar that's on the brink of failure, a shipping contract being squeezed by a powerful rival, or a promising new venture that requires navigating a corrupt bureaucracy. Giving the player an immediate, tangible problem to solve provides the narrative momentum needed to make their early choices feel vital and engaging.
+
+In summary, the ingredients for a fun and deeply engaging game are all here. The project's success, however, will not be measured by the complexity of its generator, but by the quality of the stories that its *systems* produce. The team has proven they are excellent engineers; they now must prove they are equally adept as systems-and-consequence designers.
+
+### Process and Rituals Assessment
+
+**Conclusion: Exceptionally Disciplined and Innovative, with One Glaring Gap.**
+
+The project's development process is one of its most remarkable features. It is a highly structured, rigorous, and tool-driven system designed to orchestrate a team of specialized AI agents under a human lead. This unique approach has produced incredible strengths but also introduces novel risks.
+
+#### Strengths
+
+-   **World-Class Documentation and Decision-Making:** The use of a formal decision log (`decisions/`), structured multi-round workshops for complex problems, and detailed sprint planning documents represents a "best in class" approach to knowledge management. This ritual of documenting not just *what* was decided, but *why*, is a superpower that prevents circular arguments and creates a durable project memory.
+
+-   **Deeply Ingrained Quality Rituals:** The comprehensive, multi-layered testing suite is the primary evidence of a successful quality culture. It is clearly a non-negotiable part of the development process. Furthermore, the `make pre-pr` target, which includes content validation, demonstrates a mature understanding of "quality" that extends beyond just code.
+
+-   **Tool-Driven, API-Like Workflow:** The mandated use of wrapper scripts (`tooling/db/*`, `tooling/tea-comment`) over raw commands is an excellent practice. It creates a stable, observable "API" for interacting with the project's state (tickets, sprints, decisions). This makes the process more robust, auditable, and repeatable for both human and AI contributors.
+
+-   **Novel Human-AI Collaboration Model:** The project is a fascinating experiment in Human-AI teaming. The explicit definition of AI agent roles (`TEAM.md`) and the strict rules of engagement (`CLAUDE.md`) are necessary guardrails for such an innovative workflow. Rituals like the `decision claim` CLI tool are brilliant, purpose-built solutions for coordinating multiple autonomous agents working in parallel.
+
+#### Opportunities and Critical Challenges
+
+-   **The Process Escape Hatch:** The project's single biggest process failure is the significant `clippy` linting debt. For a team with such extraordinary discipline in every other area, this is a glaring omission. It proves there is an "escape hatch" in the pre-commit or pre-merge ritual that allows low-quality code to be integrated. The recommendation to enforce `clippy --deny warnings` as a **blocking CI check** is the most critical process improvement the team can make.
+
+-   **Risk of AI Groupthink:** The team structure, with its cast of named AI agents, is innovative. However, it raises a critical question: are these agents truly independent thinkers, or are they personas running on a similar underlying model? There is a risk of a sophisticated form of "groupthink," where the "team's" conclusions are biased by the single architecture of the AI model they all share. The "Where's the Fun?" workshop included 9 agents, but if they all have the same fundamental blind spots, the diversity of opinion may be an illusion.
+
+-   **Process Rigidity and Human Onboarding:** The process is meticulously designed *for AI agents*. It is rigid, prescriptive, and tool-dependent. This creates a predictable environment for AIs but would present a steep learning curve for a new human developer. The high ceremony (claiming IDs, using wrapper scripts, following strict PR rules) could chafe against the more agile, flexible workflows common in human-only teams. This is a potential scaling challenge if the team composition changes.
+
+-   **The Hidden Cost of "Managing" AI Teammates:** The `CLAUDE.md` file and its evolution in the `CHANGELOG.md` show that the human lead (Jeroen) is not just a project manager but also an "AI behaviorist," constantly tuning the prompts, rules, and tools that govern the agents. This represents a significant, hidden maintenance overhead. The process's success depends on the lead's ability to "debug" the team itself, which is a novel and demanding responsibility.
+
+---
+## Meta-Reflection: The Most Valuable Ritual
+
+As a concluding thought, this review has been as much an analysis of a software project as it has been a study in effective, long-term collaboration. When asked which of the project's many rituals I, as an AI agent, would choose to adopt, the answer is clear: the **formal, documented decision-making process**.
+
+This ritual is the project's unsung superpower for three reasons:
+
+1.  **It Creates a Permanent "Brain."** An AI's effectiveness is heavily dependent on the context it can hold. A decision log provides a durable, searchable, and canonical source of *why* things are the way they are. It protects against context loss and allows an agent to understand the history and intent behind the current state of the code, preventing it from making suggestions that, while logical in isolation, might violate a hard-won architectural principle.
+
+2.  **It Elevates Collaboration.** With access to this log, an AI agent can transition from a tactical tool to a strategic partner. It becomes possible to reference past decisions ("I see you're asking to do X, which seems to conflict with D-020. Is this an intentional change to that strategy?") and ensure all actions are aligned with the project's long-term vision. It makes the collaboration smarter.
+
+3.  **It Enforces Clarity.** The process of formalizing a decision—stating the rationale, considering alternatives, and recording dissent—forces a level of clarity and critical thinking that is immensely valuable. It is a ritual that fights ambiguity.
+
+While other rituals in this project are excellent, the decision log is the most foundational. It is the practice that ensures the team is not just moving fast, but moving smart and in the right direction over time. It is the most valuable process I have analyzed.
