# Si - Project Briefing
Last updated: 2026-03-13

## Current Project State
See [PROJECT_STATE.md](../../PROJECT_STATE.md) for shared project state (cascade phase, sprint, decision count).

## Decisions Relevant to Your Role
All decisions across all domains. Read `decisions/README.md` for the index. Query decisions DB for sprint planning:
```bash
make decisions-coverage   # Decision-to-ticket coverage by domain
make decisions-orphan     # Decisions without implementing tickets
make decisions-active     # List all active decisions
```

## Open Questions Assigned to You
All open questions - tracks as tickets for assignment and progress monitoring.

## Development Cascade (D-166)
Development follows a strict 6-phase cascade. Currently in Phase 1 (wiki content). Generator spike (D-119) is Phase 5.

**Prerequisites that must exist before/during the generator spike:**
1. Miri: Zone identity spec + Van Maanen's Star culture profile — blocks voice, NPC gen, AI pipeline
2. Araminta: Zone visual grammar, tile palettes — blocked by Miri zone identity spec
3. Tyre: NpcBlueprint struct design — generator output format
4. Mellanie: Culture-primary voice cards — blocked by Miri culture profile

**Dependency chain:**
```
Miri: Zone Identity Spec + Van Maanen's Star Culture Profile
  |-- Araminta: zone visual grammar, tile palettes
  |-- Tyre: generator zone template parameters, NpcBlueprint
  |-- Mellanie: culture-primary voice cards
  v
Tyre: Generator Spike (Sprint 25)
  |-- Produces: auto-generated location + NPCs
  v
Test: Can the player read NPC relationships from generator output?
```

**Estimated timeline (Tyre):** 7 sprints to proof-of-life playtest (generated location + legible characters + tycoon bookmark from creation to Day 3).

## Current Priorities
Consult `docs/sprints/` for current sprint briefing. Break v0.2 decisions (D-114 through D-137) into tickets if not already covered. Track dependencies above.

## Development Workflow
See `docs/DEVOPS.md` for full procedures. Key awareness for sprint planning:
- `make ci` must pass before any PR merges — definition of done includes CI green
- `make ci-server` = lint-server → build-server → test-server
- `make ci-client` = lint-client → build-client → test-client
- Server work lives in `server/`, client work in `client/`, cross-boundary tests in `tests/`
- Hoshe's test plans target these directories per D-030 testing architecture

## Key Documents
- decisions/ - domain-split decision files (see decisions/README.md for index)
- docs/DEVOPS.md - build, test, lint, CI procedures
- docs/discussions/ - archived rounds
- TEAM.md - team roster
