## Summary
- Expanded `overheard.ron` from 5 zone types (16 conversations) to all 31 zone types (110 total conversations)
- 94 new overheard conversation entries authored across civilian, commercial, industrial, security, and frontier zone types
- All conversations follow D-078 occlusion-resilient authoring rules (front-loaded key info, no pronoun-first openers, self-contained turns)
- Investigative knowledge payloads embedded where conversations carry narrative signal (institutional cover-ups, manifest discrepancies, suppressed inspections)
- Ticket #814 (rail infrastructure corporation gap) verified as already resolved — Trans-Reach Rail (Tier 1) and Deep Frontier (Tier 2) already produce `rail_infrastructure`
## Tickets
- #695 — Author overheard conversations for remaining zone types ✅
- #814 — Rail infrastructure corporation gap ✅ (pre-existing)
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify `overheard.ron` parses without errors (RON syntax)
- [ ] Spot-check role slugs match zone-type template role IDs
- [ ] Verify conversation IDs are unique (no duplicates)
- [ ] Check D-078 compliance: no pronoun-first openers, front-loaded key info
- [ ] Confirm all 31 zone types from `server/content/global/zone-types/` are represented

Expand overheard.ron from 5 zone types (16 conversations) to full
coverage of all 31 zone types with 94 new conversations. Each zone
type has 2-4 role-pair conversations following D-078 occlusion-
resilient authoring rules. Conversations carry investigative
knowledge payloads where appropriate — institutional cover-ups,
manifest discrepancies, suppressed inspections, and cultural signals
players can follow.
Zone types added: administrative_civil, administrative_judicial,
archaeological_site, commercial_market, commercial_transit,
detention_facility, diplomatic_elite, entertainment_venue,
extraction_platform, extraction_space, extraction_surface,
industrial_manufacturing, industrial_processing, medical_facility,
military_garrison, port_fishing, port_maritime, port_space,
port_surface, research_station, residential_surface, rural_aquaculture,
rural_orbital, rural_pastoral, security_checkpoint, wilderness_frontier.

PR #123 — content(copy): overheard conversations — full zone type coverage (#695)
94 conversations across 31 zone types (78 new, 16 existing)
Hoshe (QA): REQUEST_CHANGES
Strong formatting, complete field coverage, unique IDs, clean RON syntax throughout. Two issues.
#
Location
Issue
1
CHANGELOG.md
Entry says "94 new ambient dialogue entries" but only 78 are new (16 existed on main). Should read "78 new entries (94 total)" or similar.
2
overheard.ron ovh_dip_002
"attach" used twice where "attaché" is meant — "Sova trade attach" and "from the attach's side". Spelling error in a diplomatic_elite zone where register precision matters.
Paula (Narrative Depth): REQUEST_CHANGES
Substantial, high-quality delivery. D-078 occlusion authoring followed well throughout. Voice differentiation between occupational registers is strong. Knowledge payloads in investigative conversations are genuinely useful. Seven issues.
#
Location
Issue
1
ovh_rag_002
Register mismatch: tagged Social, but militia analyzing a vehicle with different plates and concluding "that's a method" is Gossip (third-party info with knowledge payload).
2
ovh_ctx_002
Register mismatch: tagged Social, but content is an oblique corruption arrangement between trader and security with investigative value. Should be Gossip.
3
ovh_med_003
Register mismatch: tagged Gossip, but both speakers are the responsible parties managing the cluster personally. No third party. Should be Work.
4
ovh_hos_002
Superior/subordinate dynamic inverted. Concierge (speaker_a, Superior) provides info; security (speaker_b, Subordinate) makes the operational decision ("Worth a wellness check"). Per file spec, superior directs, subordinate confirms. Either change to Colleague or rewrite so concierge gives the direction.
5
ovh_evn_002
Three turns restating the same idea ("thin house") without progression. Turn three is turn one in different words. Trim to two turns or introduce a second idea in the third turn.
6
ovh_dis_002
Role pair (frontier_medic/liaison) doesn't match the analytical voice. Neither role has a credible professional reason to analyze unfiled homestead structures. A ranger/warden or settlement_administrator pair would carry this naturally.
7
extraction/industrial block
~8 consecutive conversations (ovh_exs_002, ovh_esp_002, ovh_mfg_001-002, ovh_ipr_001-002, ovh_epl_001-002) follow the same skeleton: observe discrepancy → clarifying question → implication. Individually effective but in sequence reads as a template. At least 2 should break the pattern.
Miri (World Consistency): REQUEST_CHANGES
Conversations pass zone-type conformance, D-078 compliance, and IP originality checks. Technology references are setting-appropriate. No franchise echoes. However, several named references conflict with established naming conventions.
#

Issue
1
ovh_epl_003 "Kessler-Dunn"
German-English compound surname. Reads as Earth-ethnic. Fails cultural generation guide IP check. Replace with setting-native name.
2
ovh_epl_002 "Kovacs"
Hungarian surname, immediately recognizable Earth-ethnic. Also protagonist of Altered Carbon — IP risk. Replace.
3
ovh_sch_001 "Harlan"
Contemporary English given name with strong Earth-Western associations. Fails IP check. Replace.
4
ovh_det_003 "Henwick"
English place-surname. Doesn't fit any established culture profile. Replace.
5
ovh_pfh_001 "Old Pemmar"
Introduces an unanchored location. "Old X" is an English naming trope. "Pemmar" isn't registered in any lore. Either register as canonical or replace.
6
ovh_pfh_002 "Calloway"
Conflicts with established lore brand (Calloway whisky/terroir, D-184). "Calloway net" in fishing context creates ambiguity. Replace with non-colliding name.
7
ovh_mga_003 "Vensek" (minor)
Not in any established culture pool. Not blocking, but should be registered.
8
ovh_exs_003 "Darra" (minor)
Not in any established culture pool. Not blocking, but should be registered.
