+# Ticket CLI
+
+**Use `tooling/db/ticket`** for all ticket operations. Never use `sqlite3` directly (crashes in Claude Code).
+
+## Positional arguments — not flags
+
+`ticket create` uses **positional** arguments for `type` and `title`. There is no `--title` flag.
+
+```bash
+# CORRECT — type and title are positional
+tooling/db/ticket create story "My ticket title" --description "Details here" --team server --priority low
+
+# WRONG — --title does not exist, gets absorbed into the title string
+tooling/db/ticket create story --title "My ticket title" --description "Details here"
+#   Creates a ticket titled: "--title My ticket title"
+```
+
+## Full usage
+
+```bash
+# Create
+tooling/db/ticket create <type> <title> [--parent N] [--priority P] [--decision D] [--team T] [--description TEXT]
+#   type: initiative | epic | story | task | bug
+#   priority: critical | high | medium | low
+
+# Read
+tooling/db/ticket show <id>
+tooling/db/ticket list [--sprint N] [--team T] [--status S]
+
+# Update
+tooling/db/ticket assign <id> <agent>
+```
+
+## Key rules
+
+- **Type and title are positional** — everything else is a flag
+- **Quote the title** — always wrap in double quotes to handle spaces
+- **Never use `sqlite3` CLI** — it crashes (std::bad_alloc). Use `tooling/db/sqlite-query` or `tooling/db/sqlite-exec` for raw SQL
+- **Verify after create** — run `tooling/db/ticket show <id>` to confirm the title is clean

@@ -66,8 +66,22 @@ works on screen before invoking `/pr-push`. If they haven't, ask:
 
 ```bash
 git status
+git diff --stat
 ```
 
+**Run both commands from the repo root** (`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`).
+Running from a subdirectory can cause paths to not resolve, hiding real
+changes — Sprint 30 proved this when `git diff HEAD -- server/src/bin/atlas.rs`
+returned 0 lines from the wrong CWD, masking uncommitted agent work.
+
+**CRITICAL: Do not trust "already done" claims without checking git state.**
+If agents report that work was "already implemented in a prior commit," verify
+by checking `git status` and `git diff --stat` first. Grepping source files
+only proves the code exists on disk — it does NOT prove the code is committed.
+Uncommitted working-tree changes look identical to committed code when you
+read files. Only `git status` distinguishes "already shipped" from "just
+written by a teammate."
+
 If there are uncommitted changes (staged or unstaged), run the **commit skill**
 first. Use the `/git-commit` skill to group changes into logical commits with
 proper conventional commit messages. Wait for commit to complete before

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [v0.1.30] — 2026-04-05
+
+### Added
+- `corridor-status` subcommand for atlas CLI — shows remaining unfinished systems grouped by geographic sector and hop distance (#744)
+- Star map insert module — concentric hop-ring view of 301 systems, sector-colored, click-to-select with info panel, pan/zoom (#674)
+- BoneAttachment3D overhead anchor above Head bone for future floating UI elements (#712)
+- CharacterVisualDescriptor wired into startup IPC and snapshot restore for save/load persistence (#718)
+- Display-only hair highlight swatch (auto-derived from primary tint) in character creation (#719)
+- Asset manifest fully populated (11 body types, 14 hair, 4 heads, 4 eyebrows, 8 clothing) with regeneration script (#720)
+- Sprint 30 acceptance test suite (27 tests across all 5 tickets)
+
+### Fixed
+- `habitable_planet_count` filter now accepts both "breathable" and "standard" atmosphere values — previously all committed systems reported 0 habitable planets (#762). Systems committed before this fix may have stale `habitable_planet_count = 0`; re-commit to update.
+- `corridor-status` uses LEFT JOIN so systems without gate records are included in counts
+- `generate_body_matrix` now emits `atmosphere: "standard"` (was "breathable") to match committed-system conventions
+- DirAccess asset scanning replaced with manifest JSON — fixes character creation in exported PCK builds (#720)
+- Star map set_insert_active() no longer auto-shows the modal panel (#674)
+- Star map insert state propagation wired into main.gd (#674)
+
 ## [v0.1.29] — 2026-04-03
 
 ### Added

CLAUDE.md

@@ -84,6 +84,16 @@ The ticketing database (`settledreach.db`) lives in the **parent directory** sha
 - 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.
 
+### GDScript conventions
+
+**Autoload parse-order rule:** Autoload scripts (`client/scripts/autoloads/`) compile before global `class_name` scripts are registered. Referencing a `class_name` type directly in an autoload causes a parse-time "not declared" error. Pattern:
+- Declare fields untyped: `var my_field = null` (comment the intended type)
+- Do **not** reference `class_name` types at the top level or in `_ready()` of autoloads
+- In method bodies called at runtime (e.g. `apply_snapshot`), use `load()` inline — by then the script is cached and `load()` returns the cached resource without reloading: `var CVD := load("res://scripts/rendering/character_visual_descriptor.gd")`
+- Do **not** cache the `load()` result in `_ready()` — `_ready()` fires during autoload init, before the target script is in the resource cache, causing an actual file reload that breaks self-references in scripts using their own `class_name`
+
+`game_state.gd` (`character_visual_descriptor` field) and `sim_bridge.gd` (`harness` field) follow this pattern.
+
 ### 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)

 The founding cooperative was correct about one thing the development agencies missed: the system's cold habitable body supports a specific microbial ecology that, with modification, produces a highly efficient atmospheric nitrogen-fixing cycle. Mabuhay's farms are not productive by inner-reach standards. They are self-sufficient in a way that most frontier systems at this distance are not, which means the settlement has survived without reliable Assembly resupply for three generations now. It imports precision equipment, medical supplies, and communication hardware. Everything else it produces. This is not comfort. It is the minimum viable condition for sustained independence at 42 light years from Gateway.

-The horizon station at GJ 482A is accessible from Mabuhay's outer gate. The Assembly has not released a survey report for it. Mabuhay residents have not filed a survey notification, which the Assembly charter technically requires for any charted system within three hops of a registered settlement. They have not filed it because they do not want the Assembly to hold the development rights. The founding families have been conducting informal surveys for over a decade. What they have found — whether promising or unremarkable — is internal to Mabuhay's cooperative governance and not accessible to outside inquiry without cooperative council approval, which is not readily given to strangers.
+Dagat (GJ 482A) is the gate-adjacent system at hop 8 — the nearest settled neighbor and, for most practical purposes, Mabuhay's link to the broader Reach. Three centuries of proximity have produced something that neither community names directly. Mabuhay will confirm bilateral agreements covering emergency gate access, search and rescue, and certain cargo categorizations not standard in Assembly filings. What those categorizations cover, what commitments the bilateral agreements encode beyond the disclosed items, and whether the structure extends to governance arrangements that should have been reported under the cooperative charter — that is information the council holds internally and has never offered to Assembly compliance officers who have inquired.
 
 ## Narrative Hook
 
-Mabuhay has been conducting informal surveys of the unsurveyed system adjacent to its outer gate for over a decade, and has not filed the Assembly notification that its charter requires, because the founding families intend to develop it themselves on terms the Assembly did not write.
+A freight operator passing through both Mabuhay and Dagat recently filed an anomalous customs notation with the Gate Corporation — a cargo classification applied to a shipment that passed through both systems using a category that has no Assembly-standard equivalent and that should have required full manifest documentation under the cooperative charter. The notation exists in the Gate Corp record. Mabuhay's council has not responded to the inquiry.

 The star demands the ethic. GJ 1111 is an M6.5-type — one of the coolest, dimmest red dwarfs in the settled Reach, sitting near the boundary where stellar classification shades toward brown dwarf territory. The habitable zone exists, but it is close-in and tidally influenced. The primary inhabited body at Zenzele is a close-orbit station, not a planetary surface; the fraction of the population that lives planetside inhabits a world that experiences regular stellar flare events, requiring hardened infrastructure and an acceptance of periodic communication blackout. Zenzele has some of the most robust electromagnetic hardening standards in the south_reach, developed locally over three generations and now exported to newer systems. The community that designed its own infrastructure out of necessity found that the expertise was marketable.
 
-Five gates make Zenzele a significant hub despite the hostile primary. The gate network connects to Lalande — the major hop-3 node — as well as to GJ 905, GJ 693, GJ 4053, and GJ 393. This puts Zenzele at the center of the outer south_reach's eastern arc, a distribution point for systems that would otherwise have limited connectivity. The transit cooperative that runs the gates is formally separate from the infrastructure guilds that handle station maintenance, but in practice they are deeply interlinked — many families have members in both.

The system's population is split between its two settled locations: Qina's surface holds the founding community of 380,000, the source of the hardening expertise and the origin point of the settlement's ethic; Zenzele Horizon, the oort station housing the gate complex, has grown to just over a million over three centuries, and is where most of the system's people now live. The transit cooperative that runs the gates is formally separate from the infrastructure guilds that handle station maintenance, but in practice they are deeply interlinked — many families have members in both.
 
 The self-reliance culture is visible in how Zenzele handles outside assistance. The Assembly maintains a modest presence, as expected at hop 4, but the local governance structure — a rotating assembly of household representatives, modeled on historical precedent and modified three times over three hundred years — has always insisted on managing its own security and customs operations. The Assembly compliance office has a small staff here; enforcement of Assembly transit regulations is technically handled by Zenzele's own port authority operating under delegated authority. In practice, this works smoothly. The port authority holds the delegation seriously. But the distinction matters to residents, who will explain it at length if asked.

The ~1.67M total population (380K surface + 1.2M horizon station + 86K industrial station) is intentionally structured: surface habitability is severely constrained by the stellar environment, which concentrates population at the horizon station rather than on the planetary surface — this distribution is correct and not an error.

+Wave_2 settlement at hop 8 is an apparent anomaly. Wave_2 communities are typically found within hops 1-5 of Gateway; Altgrund's hop 8 position is an artifact of how hop distance is calculated. In the wave_2 era, Gateway was not yet the canonical hub from which all distances were measured — settlement expeditions launched from multiple staging points along what later became the corridor. Altgrund's founding cohort reached GJ 189 via a shorter route from an earlier hub. When Gateway's administrative authority was established and hop-distances were standardized from that single point, Altgrund and communities like it found themselves formally reclassified as deeper-frontier than their four hundred years of continuous settlement suggested. The community had not moved. The map had changed around them. Wave_2 at hop 8 is therefore correct: the hop distance is current-map accurate, and the wave designation reflects when the community was actually founded.

-**GJ 3943** is a transitional binary at the midpoint of an unsettled gap, which means it provides two colors of insufficient light and no other services.
+**BRANDPUNT** means focal point. The community at hop 17 named itself for what it does rather than what it is — an unusual choice in a corridor where systems are named for what they look like (Stilwater, Droëland, Skemeraand) or what they feel like (Eerste Wacht, Skuilplek, Helderoog). Brandpunt feels like a laboratory, which is what it is.
 
-## The Binary Quality
+## Why the Binary Matters
 
-A K-dwarf primary with an M-dwarf companion in a wide orbit. From the surface of the single rocky habitable zone world, the effect is not dramatic — it is more accurately described as a persistent variation in the quality of the dimness. The K-dwarf illuminates in amber. The M-dwarf companion shifts the color toward red depending on its orbital position relative to the surface. The modulation between two registers of insufficient light is visible enough that corridor travelers recognize it as a waypoint marker: the subtle color oscillation on viewport displays means you are passing through GJ 3943, which means you have left the settled corridor behind.
+The K5V+M3V binary at GJ 3943 produces a combined spectrum that no other inhabited system on this corridor can replicate. The companion drifts in a wide orbit; over a cycle of months, its spectral contribution shifts the total system illumination between the primary's amber-dominant K-type output and the cooler red of the M3V. The viewport oscillation that corridor travelers have long used as a waypoint marker — that subtle shift in color as you transit — turns out to be scientifically useful under specific conditions.
 
-The habitable world is marginal. Thin atmosphere, low surface gravity, polar ice deposits as the primary water source. The wave-3 assessment said "within parameters for emergency habitation, not recommended for permanent settlement." The wave-4 reassessment, a century later, used identical language. Either the wave-4 team consulted the wave-3 record before visiting, or the system produces the same assessment in any competent observer.
+Specifically: the conditions under which you are trying to understand why adapted crop cultivars underperform when transplanted from one system to another.
 
-## The Unsettled Gap
+The corridor's farming communities spent generations adapting Earth-derived cultivars to their specific stellar spectra, and then began exchanging seeds with each other without accounting for the fact that K5V and M2V and M3V are different light environments for which the same cultivar may have contradictory adaptations. Brandpunt was built thirty-five years ago to study this. The Agricultural Spectrum Research Compact runs the settlement. The farming communities provide food. Brandpunt provides the analysis that keeps the food growing.
 
-GJ 3943 sits between Pedra Seca and Eerste Wacht — Pedra Seca being the last reliably provisioned system before the corridor thins, and Eerste Wacht being the 500-year-old anomaly at hop 18 that nobody followed the founding cohort to reach. Between them is this: two gates, an automated horizon station, a binary that illuminates the transit window in shifting amber and red, and a world the surveys have recommended against settling twice.
+## What Kind of Place It Is
 
-The corridor economics do not support a community at GJ 3943. A settlement here would depend entirely on imported supply through a corridor that is itself thin and operated by settlements with barely enough surplus to sustain themselves. Nobody has proposed it. The binary shifts between its two shades of dim and the corridor traffic passes through.
+It is a pressurized dome settlement at the polar ice deposits on a thin-atmosphere world, staffed by agricultural scientists, spectral analysts, and corridor technical specialists — most of them Afrikaans-heritage, many of them educated at inner-Reach institutions before returning to serve the corridor's needs. The sky through the dome panels shifts slowly through K amber and M red on a logged spectral schedule, because the experiment requires tracking it.
+
+The community is 1,800 people, more than half of whom hold advanced credentials of some kind. The canteen is institutional. The research library is extensive. The governance is a consortium council. It does not feel like the farming communities one and three hops away, and it is not supposed to. It is what the farming communities can do with surplus capital and a specific problem: they built a lab and staffed it with people who came back.
 
 ## Practical Information
 
-GJ 3943 is seventeen hops from Gateway with two apertures connecting to Pedra Seca and Eerste Wacht. No services. The automated horizon station processes transit. Gate Corporation maintenance visits occur approximately every two years. The color oscillation on approach is the system's most distinctive feature and the only navigational landmark experienced corridor travelers use to confirm their position.
+Brandpunt is seventeen hops from Gateway with two apertures connecting to Pedra Seca and Eerste Wacht. The community imports food and exports research. The horizon station has capacity for researcher rotation transits and handles corridor through-traffic without difficulty. Visitors with legitimate research purposes are received. The Commission holds a contract here, which some corridor travelers regard as a mark against Brandpunt and some regard as a mark of competence. Neither position is entirely wrong.

-GJ 3943 is a transitional binary — a K-dwarf primary with an M-dwarf companion in a wide orbit, producing a light environment that shifts between dim amber and dimmer red depending on the companion's position relative to the habitable zone. The effect is not dramatic from the surface of the single rocky world in the inner habitable zone. It is more accurately described as a persistent variation in the quality of the dimness — a modulation between two registers of insufficient light that the survey teams measured, noted, and found no reason to dwell on.
+The name means focal point in Afrikaans — the place where parallel light rays converge after passing through a lens. The founders chose it with precision. Brandpunt is not a farming community and not a frontier outpost in the way the corridor uses that term. It is what the name says: a place where dispersed technical capacity accumulates, is applied, and flows back out.
 
-The habitable world is marginal. Thin atmosphere, low surface gravity, limited surface water concentrated in polar ice deposits that would require extraction infrastructure to access. The survey record from the wave_3 assessment period is brief: "within parameters for emergency habitation. Not recommended for permanent settlement at current corridor development levels." The wave_4 reassessment, conducted 120 years later, reached the same conclusion with identical language, suggesting either that the wave_4 team consulted the wave_3 record before visiting or that the system's characteristics produce the same assessment in any competent observer.
+The system's K5V+M3V binary produces a light environment that no other inhabited system on the deep-frontier corridor replicates. The M3V companion drifts in a wide orbit that brings its spectral contribution in and out of alignment with the primary over a cycle of several months — shifting the combined illumination at GJ3943b between the K5V's amber dominant and the M3V's cooler red contribution as the companion moves and its angular contribution to total system illumination varies. From the surface of the settlement, the shift is not dramatic. It manifests as a slow drift in the color temperature of daylight: amber for months, shading toward red, shading back. A human eye adapts without noticing the change. An agricultural cultivar's photosynthetic system does not adapt. It expresses.
 
-The through-route connects Pedra Seca at GJ 421B to GJ 546. This is the corridor's unsettled gap — the stretch between the last reliably provisioned system at Pedra Seca and the wave_2 anomaly at GJ 546, where settlement exists for reasons that do not follow the normal logic of frontier expansion. GJ 3943 sits in the middle of that gap. Transit vessels pass through. The horizon station processes their transit. The binary's shifting light registers on the viewport displays as a subtle color oscillation that experienced corridor travelers recognize as the marker of this particular waypoint: you have left the settled corridor behind, and what lies ahead is a different kind of territory.
+This is the fact that Brandpunt was built to study.
 
-Nobody has proposed settlement. The conditions do not warrant it and the corridor traffic does not require it. A community at GJ 3943 would depend entirely on imported supply through a corridor that is itself thin, fragile, and operated by settlements that have barely enough surplus to sustain themselves. The economics do not work. The survey data confirms that the economics do not work. The system remains what it has been for the entire duration of the Reach's expansion: a through-route waypoint, transited and unremarked, its binary star shifting between two shades of dim.
+Thirty-five years ago, a consortium of technical specialists from the corridor's farming communities recognized a problem that had been accumulating for decades without a name. The corridor's farming communities had each spent generations adapting Earth-derived crop cultivars to their specific stellar conditions — Pedra Seca's drought-resistance work under its K7V primary, Droëland's photosynthetic adaptations for K-type dimness, Ouplaas's long-cycle cereal genetics tuned to M-dwarf output. As the communities' supply relationships deepened, they began exchanging seeds along with goods. They were exchanging cultivars whose light-spectrum tuning was calibrated to different stars. The adapted strains performed poorly when transplanted to neighboring worlds whose stellar spectrum differed from their development environment — and nobody had the research infrastructure to explain why.

+The founding consortium — eight specialists from four corridor communities, including three Khoikhoi-descended agricultural scientists who had trained at Lalande's technical institute and returned to serve the corridor's needs — identified GJ 3943 as the only natural multi-spectrum testing environment within the corridor's reach. The oscillating binary light would allow a single experimental planting to be assessed against both K5V and M3V spectral parameters within a single growing cycle. Neither parameter exists anywhere else on the corridor in isolation, let alone in combination. Every survey report had recommended against permanent settlement, citing the thin atmosphere, marginal gravity, and polar ice as the only water source. The founding consortium's response was that this made it appropriate. A natural laboratory should not be a place anyone would otherwise want to farm.
+
+The Agricultural Spectrum Research Compact was incorporated thirty-five years ago. Each member community — Pedra Seca, Droëland, Skuilplek, Ouplaas, and eventually Eerste Wacht — contributes a defined annual share of agricultural surplus to the Compact. In return, members receive Brandpunt's cultivar testing results, light-condition specifications for adapted strains, and access to technical consulting from resident specialists. The system that three consecutive surveys had declared unviable for settlement turned out to be viable in the specific register of people who brought their food with them and had a consortium of farming communities to bring it from.
+
+The settlement on GJ3943b is called Skuiling — Afrikaans for shelter. It is built into the polar terrain where the ice-extraction infrastructure provides both the water supply and the habitat foundation. Pressurized dome modules anchor to the extraction framework. The sky overhead shows the binary's color oscillation that corridor travelers recognize as the waypoint marker — from inside the domes, the binary's light comes through panels calibrated to specific spectral parameters and shifts on a scheduled cycle to match the companion's orbital position. Researchers track the spectral schedule with precision because the experiment requires it.
+
+The community is 1,800 people. It holds more advanced degrees per capita than any farming community between hop 10 and hop 23. It does not govern by elder council. It does not maintain partnership protocols for genetic management. It does not keep multi-year emergency stores as a cultural practice. It has a research council, employment contracts, a canteen that produces reasonable food from imported ingredients, and a commission-registered horizon station with transit capacity for the rotation of researchers on secondment from member communities. The corridor's farming communities regard Brandpunt with a combination of appreciation and mild suspicion that the Compact's architects anticipated and have not tried to resolve. They know they depend on what Brandpunt produces. They are less certain about the kind of people who produce it.
 
 ---
 
 ## Supply Dependency
 
-None.
+Brandpunt imports essentially all food from member communities. The agricultural surplus contributions from Pedra Seca, Droëland, and Ouplaas cover food requirements for the permanent population and the rotating research cohort. The community maintains six months of reserve stores — shorter than most deep-frontier communities hold, by design: the founding consortium's view was that extended reserve culture would signal a siege mentality that would undermine the Compact's collaborative model.
+
+Technical components for the research infrastructure arrive through the corridor from inner-reach sources, sourced through Commission research procurement contracts. Brandpunt's Commission contract status is the subject of occasional pointed commentary from the corridor's more autonomy-oriented communities. The community's position is that institutional contracts fund the research that keeps their neighbors' crops viable, and their neighbors have not disagreed in terms that alter the arrangement.

 ## Faction Notes
 
-No faction presence. The horizon station is automated. Gate Corporation maintenance visits follow the standard unsettled through-route schedule — approximately once per two years, shorter than the dead-end unsettled interval because through-route gates process more transits and require more frequent calibration.
+The **Agricultural Spectrum Research Compact** is Brandpunt's governing body for research priorities and funding allocation. Its council includes one representative from each member community plus elected representatives from Brandpunt's resident population. The founding communities hold veto power over research priority changes by supermajority, a provision the founding consortium inserted to ensure the Compact could not be redirected toward commercial applications that would benefit external interests over member communities.
+
+The **Lattice Commission** holds an active research contract with Brandpunt's spectral analysis division — the only formal Commission institutional relationship in the deep-frontier Afrikaans corridor. The Commission's interest is the cultivar adaptation data, which has broader applications for wave_5 and wave_6 settlement of M-dwarf-heavy outer corridors. The arrangement is commercially explicit and does not extend to governance or administrative oversight, a distinction the Compact's charter specifies in detail.
+
+No Syndic operations. No Assembly representation. No Guardians of Autonomy chapter. The community's founding philosophy was not anti-institutional but non-institutional: the Compact provides all necessary governance and the Commission provides external funding. Everything else is overhead they decline to carry.
+
+---
+
+## Silence Topic
+
+The Compact's exact funding terms — what each member community pays and what it receives — are documented in the Compact's operating agreements, which are the Compact's internal documents and not filed with any registry. The farming communities know what they contribute. They know what they receive. What they do not know, and have not asked, is what the other member communities contribute and receive. The Compact's charter prohibits disclosure of individual member terms to other members, on the grounds that disclosure would introduce competitive dynamics into a cooperative framework. Whether this provision protects the farming communities' mutual interests or Brandpunt's negotiating position is a question the farming communities have discussed quietly, among themselves, and reached no common position on.
+
+---
+
+## Narrative Hook
+
+Thirty-five years of spectral adaptation data, held by a consortium that includes both the corridor's oldest communities and a Commission research contract — and nobody on the farming side of the arrangement knows what the Commission is getting from the data that the Compact's charter says belongs to the member communities.
+
+---
+
+## Calibration Note
+
+Wave_5 settlement at hop 17 would be unusual for an agricultural community; it is consistent for a research station funded by established agricultural communities with surplus to invest. The system's prior "unviable for permanent settlement" designations applied to agricultural settlement logic. The Compact model changes the economic basis: food is imported, not grown, and the settlement's output is research and technical services rather than agricultural production. The K5V+M3V binary's oscillating spectrum — previously noted as the system's most distinctive and practically useless feature — is the research infrastructure. The three surveys that recommended against settlement were correct about everything they assessed and assessed the wrong use case.

 Two hundred and eighty years of careful water management has produced a community of approximately 800 people living in a settlement built around a system of cisterns, condensation collectors, and aquifer management infrastructure that is, by any engineering assessment, remarkable for its scale and its age. The cistern network predates most of the settlement's above-ground structures — the founders built the water infrastructure first, lived in temporary shelters while they did it, and only began permanent construction once the water supply was secured. This priority ordering is visible in the settlement's architecture: the cisterns are the most solidly built structures, maintained to the highest standard, and treated with the particular reverence that communities reserve for the thing that keeps them alive.

 What it eventually meant was distribution. Ribeiro's Star became, over the course of wave_3 and into wave_4, the primary transit junction for goods and people moving between Lalande's inner hub and the outer-arc systems that could not efficiently route through the single inward corridor. The flare star requires precautions — the M5.5Ve designation carries a meaningful flare probability that is managed through standard electromagnetic hardening, though not to the extreme levels required at Zenzele — but the gate infrastructure is reliable, and reliability is what transit economics demands.
