Summary

Sprint 14 copy team deliverables — monologue architecture, content pools, voice guide, dialogue schema, access tier shifts, and NPC-to-NPC overheard dialogue.

#253 Monologue content architecture — docs/design/monologue-content-architecture.md (authoring contract for all future monologue)
#120 Monologue line pools — smuggler + detective YAML files for smuggling-hold and commission-kiosk (51 lines, D-035 compliant)
#121 Character voice variation — docs/design/monologue-voice-guide.md (trait, background, mood transformation guide)
#168 Tagged line pool schema — content/_schema/dialogue-line.schema.json (canonical D-035 taxonomy), updated dialogue-pool + monologue-pool schemas, Rust enum sync (Greeting situation, Focused mood)
#328 Access tier shift design — docs/design/access-tier-shifts.md (16 transitions across 3 social sites, FactId-gated)
#536 NPC-to-NPC overheard dialogue — content/npc-conversations/overheard.yaml (48 exchange pairs, D-078 occlusion-resilient)
Mood vocabulary rename (D-035 Sprint 14 amendment) — schema + Rust aligned to voice guide names: fond→warm, comfortable→content, worried→anxious, concerned→frustrated, +hostile, -analytical, -conflicted
Test fix — NPC profile count assertions updated (20→23) for content expansion

feat(schema): implement D-035 converged tag taxonomy as canonical JSON Schema (#168 ) 8c362c8535

- Add content/_schema/dialogue-line.schema.json — canonical standalone line schema
  with all 6 structural + 3 selection + 2 authoring-only tags and $defs for
  monologue extension (character, trigger, prerequisite)
- Update dialogue-pool.schema.json: add dual_lens and notes authoring-only tags,
  add additionalProperties: false to knowledge_grant
- Update monologue-pool.schema.json: add all 6 structural tags as required fields
  for schema compliance (role=player_character, access=[public], trust=surface are
  constrained constants); add topic, mood, dual_lens, notes
- Enumerate all 14 v0.1 situations and 9 v0.1 topics as allowed enum values per D-035
- Fix Rust sync gap: add Situation::Greeting and Mood::Focused to line_pool.rs
  (D-035 Sprint 8 amendments — were in schema but missing from Rust enums, causing
  content with these values to be silently dropped at runtime)
- Update line_preview.rs situation_str, mood_str match arms and help text for
  new variants; all 25 line_pool tests pass

docs(design): add Gestalt KG validation to #253 prerequisite map and #121 mood guide df4d7b4666

#253 monologue-content-architecture.md:
- All prerequisite fact_ids validated against knowledge vocabulary — APPROVED
- Flag: behavioral.sera_avoidance should be behavioral.sera_avoidance_pattern
- Flag: investigation.drin_inspection_pattern duplicated in investigation.yaml
- Confirm: cooldown is content-layer (schema field) — OQ item 3 resolved
- Pending: witness_interaction trigger payload (OQ item 4) — Dudley to confirm
  before named-pair witness_interaction lines can be authored

#121 monologue-voice-guide.md:
- BLOCKING: mood vocabulary mismatch — voice guide uses neutral/anxious/frustrated/
  content/warm/hostile but schema enum uses fond/comfortable/worried/analytical/
  conflicted/concerned/relieved; hostile not in schema at all
- Provide interim mapping table so Mellanie can use correct schema names
- Flag schema gaps: analytical and relieved have no voice guide coverage
- Recommend schema rename to voice guide names (Lead decision required)
- Mood-as-selection-weight model is mechanically coherent — APPROVED

refactor(content): rename mood vocabulary to match voice guide (D-035 Sprint 14 amendment) 91eb11da16

Schema and Rust Mood enum renamed for author-friendly vocabulary:
fond→warm, comfortable→content, worried→anxious, concerned→frustrated.
Dropped: analytical (merged into focused), conflicted (modeled as
suspicious+warm collision). Added: hostile. Final 8 moods: anxious,
frustrated, content, suspicious, warm, hostile, relieved, focused.
Neutral = untagged. Resolves Gestalt's blocking issue on #121.
