 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [v0.1.26] — 2026-03-13
+
+### Added
+- ContentType::Factual — lines with numbers, denials, causal chains bypass LLM and serve base text directly (#650, D-138)
+- Voice pipeline observer integration — enrichment systems rewrite dialogue/conversation text with voiced versions before snapshot assembly (#652)
+- SQLite settings storage — per-player persistent settings via rusqlite (bundled), IPC protocol v20 with ChangeSettings/RequestAllSettings/DeleteSetting commands (#627)
+- Composable behavior engine — three-layer action+modifier+context primitives replace flat culture×zone×role behavior strings (#633, D-139, Q-057 resolved)
+- Stronger few-shot examples for Friendly and RoutineDeviation tells (#651)
+- AI-Enhanced Dialogue toggle — settings panel toggle with layered hardware detection (RAM/TPT/degradation), battery auto-suspend with player override, warning label (#646, D-138)
+- PlatformInfo autoload — client-side OS abstraction centralizing all platform queries: power state, memory, CPU, GPU, display, locale, file paths, diagnostics helper (#659, D-141)
+- Vael and Osse culture profiles with voice personas, behavior modifiers, and explicit NEVER blocks (#653)
+- Behavior modifiers for all three cultures — 7-category contract: work_pace, physical_manner, social_signal, task_completion, environmental_scan, offduty_posture, authority_response (#634)
+- Zone-type template architecture — behavior primitives moved from per-location files to reusable zone-type templates (content/global/zone-types/). 31 zone types planned for v1.0 (#661, D-142)
+- POI three-tier system — large POIs as zone types, abandoned flag for decay variants, poi_overlay for small landmarks (D-142)
+- Authoring guides for base text elevation, culture creation, and content directory structure
+- D-140: dialogue re-voicing quality constraints — Paula's six rules
+- D-142: zone-type template architecture for scalable NPC behavior across 300+ systems
+
+### Removed
+- v0.1 content loading system — server/src/content/ module (8200 lines), tooling/content-converter/, tooling/validate-content, content-ron/, content/_meta/ (#655, D-122)
+- AiDialogueDetector — duplicate of HardwareDetector, replaced by PlatformInfo abstraction (#659)
+- v0.1 hand-authored Krenn dialogue, monologue, and NPC profiles — 64 files superseded by generated NPCs (#656, D-122)
+- Detective mission system — investigation knowledge, lattice-commission faction, design docs, workshop archives (#657, D-117)
+
+### Fixed
+- Name pool cross-contamination — zero overlaps across Krenn, Vael, and Osse cultures
+- D-141 → D-142 reference correction in zone-type templates
+- Modifier coverage expanded to 2+ per category for all cultures; authority_response differentiated Krenn/Osse
+- Gendered pronouns removed from culture-neutral zone-type templates
+- Ungrounded lore terms (Syndic, Meridian registration) replaced with generic descriptors in Osse culture
+- Stale notes in content-structure-canonical.md and base-text-authoring-guide.md corrected
+- Legacy annotation added to overheard.yaml (#664 tracks replacement)
+- Dead dual_lens properties stripped from environmental YAML
+
+### Changed
+- Protocol version bumped to 20 — ObserverSnapshot includes settings_response field (#627)
+- All 18 agent briefings updated for v0.2 pivot — removed detective/smuggler/hand-authored references, aligned with generator-first approach (#658)
+- 5 agent profiles (miri, ozzie, paula, inigo, hoshe) updated to remove stale v0.1 framing (#658)
+- Q-015 closed as obsolete (D-122 eliminates hand-authored FRIEND content)
+- D-018 perception model: franchise-specific example replaced with generic framing
+

-# Dialogue: ring-operative at Maintenance Corridors
-# NPC: Generic ring operative (Tier 3 template — members without individual profiles)
-# Voice: two registers. Surface: maintenance worker, brief, task-focused. Real: coded, precise, never explicit.
-# The crucial thing: both registers sound identical to a casual listener.
-# Ring-aware: full ring membership. Knows the route, the window, the players.
-# Ring code vocabulary (from Sova texture appendix):
-#   "running maintenance" = cover for ring operation
-#   "the usual pickup" = ring cargo handoff
-#   "cans are ready" = containers cleared for movement
-#   "manifest is clean" = paperwork cover confirmed
-#   "Drin was asking" = warning, inspection proximity
-#   "dead air" = Meridian surveillance gaps
-#   "the gap" = maintenance corridors, the route itself

-# Author: Mellanie (copy), covering Paula (narrative systems) + Gestalt (content architecture)
-#
-# D-065: Knowledge is the primary "inventory" for all characters. The smuggler
-# additionally gets 3 physical items because the smuggler's word doesn't carry
-# institutional weight — they need tangible proof for leverage.
-#
-# All items are contraband. All items are private (information boundary, D-010).

-#
-# Server reads these specs via CarriedBy component + Take/Place verbs (#424).
-# Client renders via inventory UI (#438) — 3x3 grid UI, bottom-right, mapped to 1-9 hotkeys.

-        The comm log is the smuggler's most powerful and most dangerous item.
-        It proves the supply chain, maps the trust network, and corroborates
-        shift manipulation. It's also the item that most clearly differentiates
-        the smuggler from the detective — the detective builds a case from
-        observation and institutional access. The smuggler already HAS the case.
-        The question is what to do with it.

-# Monologue: Detective — Commission Kiosk
-# Ticket: #120 | Author: Mellanie | Sprint: 14
-# Decision refs: D-016, D-032, D-034, D-035
-#
-# The Commission kiosk is a small terminal alcove in the transit district —
-# institutional grey, cool lighting, regulation spec. The detective has
-# authorized access. This is where official investigation happens: manifest
-# logs, personnel records, flagged container reports. It smells like
-# commission-issue air filters. The detective is comfortable here and also
-# slightly isolated — the kiosk is public but feels private.
-#
-# Voice note: the detective is in his element at the kiosk — data flows,
-# patterns emerge, the lattice is doing its work. But the kiosk is also a
-# reminder that the case is bigger than the data suggests, and that Sera works
-# with Commission systems daily. These lines should feel analytically engaged
-# with moments of personal cost showing through.
-#
-# Schema: D-035 compliant. role/access/trust/situation included on all lines.

-      Alternate secondary beat. 'File it, don't close it' is the detective's internal procedure
-      for unresolved data. The critical distinction: wrong information vs. deliberately wrong
-      information — the detective separates these without assuming either. 'That's a different
-      question' closes the processing loop, marking it unresolved, not dismissed.

-      connection drawn between them: Sera's testimony about Kael ('doesn't make mistakes'),
-      Kael's actual location, Sera's avoidance behavior. The detective is connecting dots but

-      Alternate Phase 3 — analytical register throughout, no personal register even for Sera
-      (surname only). 'Worth seeing if those connect' is the detective's verbal tic of flagging
-      without concluding. The numbered format ('Two facts... One new observation') is the
-      detective's internal case-building style. Fully non-accusatory: the connection is not

-      Alternate Phase 3. 'Let's see what' verbal tic, no accusation. 'Managing her exits' is

-      Detective NPC tutorial — procedural, method-as-principle. 'Civilians in range' is

-      is the investigative principle: don't prime witnesses, let them self-select information.
-      No contractions throughout. Teaches: NPC interaction is player-initiated and

-      Fires when the player observes an NPC at close range. The detective's asymmetry:
-      his authority access tier makes him visible in ways the smuggler is not. NPCs react
-      to his presence before interaction begins. 'Worth noting who adjusts their behavior'
-      — 'Worth' verbal tic, sets up behavioral observation as investigation method. Teaches:
-      the detective's Commission credentials affect NPC behavior, and that behavioral

-      linked' — institutional framing, establishes why the detective's HUD is denser than
-      the smuggler's. 'Standard procedure' — not a discovery, a protocol. Teaches: the

-      — 'Let's see what' verbal tic closing the tutorial sequence. Teaches: the detective's

-      Alternate Phase 3 — gut read, highest emotional weight. 'Somewhere else in his head'
-      describes the behavioral changes without cataloging them. 'Now I know why' — the click
-      of understanding arriving. 'Not ring' — short, certain, two words. 'Looking for a way
-      out' is street-smart language for exit attempt: the smuggler doesn't know the details
-      but the read is right. This line is the closest the smuggler comes to naming what's
-      happening — and she still doesn't say it explicitly.

-# Monologue: Smuggler — Smuggling Hold
-# Ticket: #120 | Author: Mellanie | Sprint: 14
-# Decision refs: D-016, D-032, D-035, D-037
-#
-# The smuggling hold is below the maintenance corridors — an unmarked
-# sub-level cargo space that the ring uses for temp storage and transfers.
-# Not on any official manifest. The smuggler knows every pipe and access
-# point here. This is both her operational center and her greatest exposure.
-#
-# Voice note: the smuggler here is at maximum operational competence and
-# maximum paranoia simultaneously. She's in control of the space but the
-# space itself is evidence of everything she's done. Lines should carry
-# that dual register — calm on the surface, tight underneath.
-#
-# Schema: D-035 compliant. role/access/trust/situation included on all lines.
-# Existing Sprint 5 files (the-terminal, the-last-shift, maintenance-corridors)
-# will be updated by #168 (schema compliance pass).

-
-description: >
-  Maintenance tech and dock inspector at the Sova Transit District Logistics Hub.
-  Age 40, Station Sova native. Competent at both roles. Compromised by a gambling
-  debt to Harek — a significant sum from bar card games. The debt does not require
-  Drin to do anything explicitly illegal. It means Drin is slow during inspections
-  of certain containers. He does not open them. He does not look hard. The ring
-  noticed this pattern and relies on it. Drin is compromised by omission, not
-  commission.
-
-want:
-  primary: "Freedom"
-  intensity: 8
-  description: >
-    Clear the debt and stop looking over his shoulder.
-    Drin wants to return to when the job was just a job — maintenance rounds, dock
-    inspections, clocking out, going home. The work was repetitive and that was
-    fine. Now every inspection cycle carries a second calculation: which containers
-    to skip, which bays to clear without looking, how to file a report that says
-    nothing happened when something might have. He wants the old version of the
-    job back. He does not know how to get there.
-
-secret: >
-  Drin's inspection negligence is being exploited by the ring. He understands that
-  someone benefits from his looking the other way — containers move through his
-  shifts without scrutiny and nobody complains. But he does not know the ring's
-  structure, does not know Kael's role, does not know the scope of the operation
-  his silence enables. He thinks it is smaller than it is. The distinction between
-  omission and commission feels meaningful to him and would not feel meaningful to
-  an investigator.

-    kind: "friend"
-    trust: 3
-    notes: "Debt holder, inadvertent coercer. Fear-based, asymmetric. Harek does not press aggressively — keeps the debt active, invites Drin to card games, covers a round. Drin likes Harek personally, which makes the dynamic worse."

-    Already past breaking. The compromise IS Drin's post-threshold state. He crossed

-    3. Break (10:00-10:30, break room) — eats alone or with maintenance crew. Avoids
-       Harek and prolonged conversation with Maret.
-    4. Dock inspections (10:30-14:00) — scheduled bay checks, container verification,
-       freight condition reports. Compromise lives here — certain shifts, certain
-       bays get shorter inspections.

-
-  Key authoring guidance: Drin is passive, not malicious. His turncoat status came

-  moral compromise — quiet, methodical, shrinking. The irony is that his methodical
-  nature makes the compromised inspections more visible by contrast.
-
-  Triangle dynamics: In worried-knowledge (Maret-Drin-Voss), Drin is the

-
-    Reverse observation notes -- what NPCs say about the detective to the smuggler:
-
-    Kael (noticing Commission presence): "There's someone new at the hub. Commission
-    badge. Keep your head down." [access: insider, trust: real -- ring protective warning]
-
-    Voss (to smuggler during shift): "Commission liaison showed up this morning.
-    Routine check, apparently. Just do your job normally." [access: insider, trust: real
-    -- operational caution]
-
-    Lera (when smuggler arrives at bar): "Your Commission friend is here again.
-    Came in with Sera." [access: insider, trust: surface -- coded language, "your" is
-    ironic distance]
-
-    Sera (overheard at bar): "The new liaison? Standard posting. Nothing to worry
-    about." [access: public, trust: surface -- Sera's deflection benefits the ring
-    indirectly]
-
-    Naia (when smuggler sits near her): "Have you noticed the new person at the hub?
-    Commission, someone said. Kael didn't seem happy about it." [access: peer,
-    trust: surface -- innocent observation]
-
-    Renn (to smuggler during operations): "That investigator's been poking around
-    manifests. Maret's sweating." [access: insider, trust: real -- ring intelligence]
-
-    Maret (to smuggler in corridor): "The Commission officer requested last quarter's
-    schedules. I gave them the clean set." [access: insider, trust: real -- complicity

-
-notes: >
-  PC-as-NPC entity. Follows the NEUTRAL BEHAVIORAL PATH:
-  - No dramatic decisions
-  - No confrontations initiated
-  - No relationship state changes during session
-  - No evidence-based confrontations (those are the player's choices)
-  - No dramatic leverage plays
-  - No routine deviations
-
-  AGENCY BOUNDARIES: The detective-NPC arrives, reviews records, walks the floor,
-  takes notes, visits the bar with Sera, goes home. They exhibit baseline personality
-  (professional, formal, observational) and observable tells (note-taking, systematic
-  movement, manifest fixation). They respond to player interaction with public-tier
-  dialogue only.
-
-  STARTING KNOWLEDGE -- two options:
-
-  Option A (default for v0.1): Smuggler has been warned by Voss. Smuggler starts
-  with KnowsOf about the detective (role: Commission liaison, faction: Commission,
-  risk: moderate). Color: amber.
-
-  Option B: Smuggler not yet warned. First visual sighting triggers knowledge
-  accumulation. Commission badge visible. Color: teal initially, shifts to amber
-  once ring members pass the warning.
-
-  Smuggler observation monologue triggers (5 lines):
-
-  1. "Commission officer just stood there after talking to Voss. Making notes. Not good."
-     [trigger: observe_npc, note-taking tell]
-  2. "That investigator is working the hub section by section. Not browsing. Searching."
-     [trigger: observe_anomaly, systematic movement tell]
-  3. "Commission's parked at the manifest terminal again. Third time today."
-     [trigger: observe_anomaly, manifest fixation tell]
-  4. "They're watching. From the corner, where they can see the whole dock floor. Professional."
-     [trigger: observe_npc, observation positioning tell]
-  5. "The investigator and Sera again. Old friends? Or is Sera reporting to them?"
-     [trigger: observe_npc, Sera proximity tell -- creates doubt about Sera's role]
-
-  Public-tier dialogue (if smuggler approaches):
-
-  1. Greeting (hub): "Good morning. Commission Liaison Office -- I'm conducting a routine compliance review."
-     [access: public, trust: surface, situation: greeting]
-  2. About purpose: "Standard review. Manifest reconciliation, scheduling compliance. Nothing unusual."
-     [access: public, trust: surface, situation: social]
-  3. About district: "Only been here a few days. Seems like a well-run operation."
-     [access: public, trust: surface, situation: social -- deliberate blandness]
-  4. About Sera: "Ms. Venn? Colleague. We've worked in the same division."
-     [access: public, trust: surface, situation: social -- professional deflection]
-  5. Deflection: "I appreciate the interest, but I'm sure you have cargo to route. I won't keep you."
-     [access: public/authority, trust: surface, situation: confrontation -- polite dismissal]
-
-  ITEM COUNT:
-  - Routine entries: 7
-  - Relationship stubs (NPCs about detective): 7
-  - Tell descriptions + monologue triggers: 10 (5 tells x 2)
-  - Dialogue lines (detective-NPC speaks): 5

-    threat. Secondary want: find someone — anyone — who can offer protection in
-    exchange for information. The detective is the obvious candidate, but Pell
-    doesn't know the detective exists yet. Drin is an institutional contact, but
-    Drin is compromised through Harek's debt. The irony is thick.
-
-secret: >
-  Surface: ring member — known to the ring, not known to the detective or civilians.
-  Deep: Pell is considering turning informant. This is the most dangerous secret in
-  the district. If Nils or Devra confirm Renn's suspicion, Pell is dead or
-  disappeared. If Pell successfully cooperates with the detective, the ring
-  collapses. Vulnerability: isolation — no allies in this decision. The ring would

-notes: >
-  CATALYST + TURNCOAT: maximum instability. "When Pell breaks, everything moves."
-  Pell's disruption (CATALYST) is driven by deliberate loyalty shift (TURNCOAT),

-  disrupt accidentally; Pell's disruption is the consequence of a conscious decision
-  to betray. For the smuggler, the decision to support, report, or manage Pell
-  defines the operation's future. For the detective, finding Pell before the ring
-  acts means gaining the keystone witness. Timing is everything, and Pell's anxiety
-  is the countdown.

-  learning a corrupted system honestly. Write her questions as genuine, her
-  confusion as real, her eagerness as endearing. The tension comes from the
-  ring's reaction to her, not from anything Resha does deliberately.
-
-  Not a formal triangle member. Her function is atmospheric and catalytic — her
-  questions create pressure on Voss and Kael, and her presence reminds the hub
-  that the operation is only invisible to people who have learned not to look.

-  Lattice Commission field technician, 31 years old, posted to Sova Transit
-  District 14 months ago after a stressful border-system relay. The detective's
-  pre-existing institutional contact and closest personal ally in the district.
-  Sera is warm, competent, available — and sitting on unreported evidence. She ran

-  discrepancies tied to Kael's shifts) pointed to something she didn't want to see.

-    Keep her life stable and her friendships intact.
-    Sova was supposed to be quiet — routine calibration checks, scheduled

-    confiding about Kael's late nights, and Sera's competence made her curious, and
-    her curiosity made her compromised. Secondary want: protect Naia from the
-    consequences of what Sera has discovered. Every helpful tip Sera shares with the
-    detective is shadowed by the evidence she's withholding.
-
-secret: >
-  Sera ran an unauthorized compliance check on Kael Davan's freight handling records
-  after Naia confided worry about Kael's behavior. She found manifest discrepancies
-  tied to Kael's shifts — containers that don't reconcile with incoming freight
-  manifests. She also found that the irregularities correlate with shifts where
-  Torek Lintar handles dock inspections. This is reportable evidence. Sera has not
-  reported it. She has been sitting on this information for approximately 6 weeks,
-  protecting Naia from the consequences. If the detective discovers the concealment,
-  Sera faces institutional consequences. If the ring discovers a Commission employee
-  has flagged their manifests, Sera is in physical danger. If Naia learns Sera

-      trigger: "10-15 minutes. Social context accumulating."
-      routine_deviation: "None visible. Sera is building the detective's picture of the district."
-    - phase: 3
-      description: >
-        The Pattern. The detective observes Sera leaving the bar when Torek arrives.
-        Three times. Three different excuses. The detective's training fires on the
-        third occurrence — pattern recognition, not anomaly detection. Color shifts
-        from green to amber. Slower than Kael's contradiction — cumulative, not
-        sudden.
-      trigger: "15-20 minutes. Third observed departure when Torek enters."
-      routine_deviation: "Departure from bar correlates with specific NPC arrival. Excuse variety masks behavioral consistency."
-    - phase: 4
-      description: >
-        The Question. Detective asks Sera about Torek directly. Sera deflects —
-        Torek is just loud, she doesn't like loud drunks. Plausible. But the
-        detective notices the controlled delivery, the shoulder shift, the topic
-        change that follows. The deflection is the tell.
-      trigger: "20-25 minutes. Detective initiates dialogue about the avoidance pattern."
-      routine_deviation: "Sera becomes more controlled. Warmth present but calibrated. Steers conversations away from freight and manifests. Compensates with extra helpfulness on other topics."
-    - phase: 5
-      description: >
-        Contaminated Trust. Sera continues being helpful — same time, same booth,
-        same district background. But the detective is now watching. Every piece of
-        helpful information from Phase 1 is retroactively contaminated. Was she
-        genuinely helpful, or steering away from manifests? Was introducing Naia
-        friendship, or preemptive framing? Three paths open: trust test (direct
-        confrontation about concealment), institutional (report through Commission
-        channels), observation (watch and build parallel case).
-      trigger: "25-30 minutes. Post-confrontation, remainder of vertical slice."
-      routine_deviation: "Surface behavior returns to baseline. Trust is structurally damaged. The FRIEND arc changes the past, not just the present."
-
-dual_lens:
-  smuggler: >
-    Commission woman at the bar. Field tech, not investigator — but still Commission.
-    Keep an eye on her. If observant across multiple visits, might notice the
-    avoidance pattern: "Sera left again. That's twice when Torek showed up. Probably
-    hates his singing." On replay, the smuggler understands Sera's avoidance wasn't
-    about personality — it was about what she found and was hiding.
-  detective: >
-    THE FRIEND. Only ally in a district that doesn't want you here. Institutional
-    peer, personal friend, district guide. Monologue shifts from fond ("Good to see
-    Sera. She always was the reliable one.") to analytical doubt ("She's not lying.
-    But she's not telling me everything. Sera, what do you know?"). The color shift
-    from green to amber is the moment the safe harbor is contaminated. Maximum
-    emotional weight.
-
-notes: >
-  Tier 1 FRIEND NPC, bonded to detective. FRIEND + WITNESS: the concealment
-  betrayal. "I was your friend AND I was hiding evidence." The detective trusted
-  Sera as safe harbor (FRIEND) while Sera sat on the exact data the detective
-  needed (WITNESS). The contamination is retrospective — every helpful tip
-  recontextualized once concealment surfaces. Was helpfulness genuine, or
-  compensation? The answer is both, and that ambiguity is the emotional payload.
-
-  Parallels Kael (smuggler's FRIEND) with different contradiction mechanics:
-  cumulative pattern recognition vs. single spatial observation, institutional
-  concealment vs. operational security breach, slow doubt vs. sudden alarm. Voice:
-  competent, slightly wry, precise. Uses complete sentences. When deflecting,
-  redirects rather than goes silent — the redirect IS the tell.
-
-  The avoidance pattern must be THREE observed departures. Detective's training
-  recognizes patterns, not anomalies. One is nothing, two is coincidence, three
-  is data. Naia references establish friendship depth before it becomes
-  load-bearing. Commission background establishes access level before it becomes
-  evidence of capability.

-description: >
-  Cargo staging worker, late 20s. Has an unfortunate habit of positioning
-  himself exactly where someone running corridor surveillance would stand —
-  at junctions, in doorways, facing the approach. This is where he waits for
-  Kosse, his partner, who works the late freight bay and takes the same route
-  back through the maintenance corridors. Tev times his breaks to the late
-  route schedule. He has no idea how this looks to someone tracking corridor
-  traffic. No ring connection. No secrets.

-    walks home with Kosse when schedules align, alone otherwise. The junction

-  NOBODY + CIVILIAN: pure noise floor. The "seems important but isn't" quality
-  is entirely positional — standing at corridor junctions, watching approach
-  traffic, checking the time, stationing himself in threshold positions. All
-  of this is to meet a partner after shift. One memorable observable trait:
-  weight always on the wrong foot, perpetually glancing the same direction.
-  Paula owns the trait design. Mellanie owns the lines (#307).

-  Dock worker on the day shift and bar regular at The Last Shift. Twenty-nine years

-

-  Spending beyond a standard dock worker's means. The source is deliberately

-description: >
-  Shift supervisor at the Sova Transit District Logistics Hub. Eleven years on the

-  smooth inspections and create coverage windows in the schedule. Voss has positional

-    Keep his shift running without incident. Clean handoffs, zero incident reports.

-    receives smooths the rough edges of a supervisor's salary. Secondary want:
-    maintain authority despite being undermined by Nils Davan, who gives ring orders

-  Takes a cut from the ring to smooth inspections and create schedule coverage

-
-notes: >
-  SYSTEM + OPERATOR: corrupted machinery. The system works — for the wrong people.
-  Voss IS the institutional process and he actively runs it, meaning the legitimate
-  logistics infrastructure and the criminal operation share the same human engine.

-  Key authoring guidance: Voss is middle management, not a villain. His resentment
-  toward Nils is genuine. His competence is real. His fear of exposure drives
-  pragmatic compliance, not loyalty. Write him as a man trapped by his own

-  criminal exposure. When stressed, he gets procedural, not aggressive.
-
-  Triangle dynamics: In hub-power (Voss-Kael-Nils), Voss has the title but not the
-  power. In worried-knowledge (Maret-Drin-Voss), Voss needs everyone quiet without
-  revealing why.
