# Sprint 26: Clean House — Joint

**Goal:** Ship the voice pipeline to production by integrating observer, removing v0.1 dead weight, and stabilizing the codebase.

## Pre-Sprint

No blocking decisions or schema work required before implementation starts. All design decisions for this sprint are locked (D-138, D-122, D-117).

One cross-team coordination point must happen at sprint start:

| Item | Owner | Needed by |
|------|-------|-----------|
| Behavior primitive format agreement | Server (#633) | Copy (#634) cannot start until format is specified |

Server team (#633) should document the behavior primitive data structure (as a Rust type or YAML schema) and share it with copy team before #634 begins. This is a 1-day coordination item, not a blocker on other tickets.

## Sprint Completion Proof

The sprint is done when all of the following are observable:

1. **Voice pipeline live end-to-end:** Start the game with a generated Van Maanen's Star NPC visible. Observable behaviors and dialogue lines for that NPC are voiced (culture-inflected, not raw base text). A `Factual`-type line (containing a number or denial) shows as base text, not LLM output.

2. **Client toggle functional:** Settings panel contains an AI-Enhanced Dialogue toggle. Disabling it causes the server to serve base text. Hardware detection runs at startup; if the system cannot run the model, the toggle is greyed out with an explanation.

3. **v0.1 content deleted:** `server/src/content/` does not exist. `content/campaigns/main/systems/van-maanens-star/stations/sova/districts/transit/dialogue/` and `monologue/` are gone. `content/global/knowledge/investigation.yaml` and `content/global/factions/lattice-commission.yaml` are gone. `cargo check` passes with no references to deleted modules.

4. **D-records filed:** `decisions/content.md` reflects the amended D-123 and the LLM voice pipeline workshop outputs. D-138 Spike 2 findings are formally in the record.

5. **Agent profiles updated:** At least 10 of 20 agent profiles and 10 of 18 briefings updated to reflect v0.2 framing. Zero references to Kael Davan, Sera Venn, or playable detective/smuggler archetypes in updated files.

## Test Plan

| Area | Method | Owner |
|------|--------|-------|
| Voice pipeline integration | Live test: generate NPC, inspect voiced output vs base text | Server |
| ContentType::Factual bypass | Unit test: inject Factual-tagged line, assert LLM not called | Server |
| Observer wiring | Integration test: `voice_pipeline.rs` test suite + live Gauntlet run | Server |
| Client toggle | Manual: toggle off, verify server serves base text | Client |
| Hardware detection | Manual: run on low-spec config, verify graceful degradation | Client |
| Content deletion | `cargo check` + `make test` full suite passing after deletion | Server |
| D-record accuracy | Qatux review of decisions/content.md for completeness | Copy/Planning |

## Cross-Team Dependencies

```
Server #650 (ContentType::Factual)
  → Server #652 (observer integration) — preferred ordering, not hard block

Server #633 (composable behavior engine) — format agreement
  → Copy #634 (decomposed behavior content)

Copy #656 (remove Van Maanen's Star hand-authored) — may require client test update
  → flag to Client if test_insert_off_behavior.gd needs edits

Client #646 (toggle) — depends on server #652 being wired
  (parallel development OK; both can land independently, integrate at end)
```
