# 14 situation values (D-035, D-028 Layer 2)
# Situation context for dialogue line eligibility — engine-state-to-situation mapping
name: situations
decision_ref: D-035
description: >
  Dialogue situation tags. The engine activates situations based on simulation
  state (time of day, interaction history, NPC routine state, triangle pressure).
  Content authors tag lines with situations; the engine decides which situations
  are currently active for a given NPC encounter.

values:
  - value: arrival
    description: Player has just arrived at this location (first visit this game-day)

  - value: shift_start
    description: NPC is beginning their work shift — settling in, task-focused

  - value: shift_end
    description: NPC is wrapping up their work shift — tired, ready to leave

  - value: shift_transition
    description: >
      The gap between shifts when oversight is thinnest. Key operational window
      for the ring. People are moving, handoffs happening, attention divided.

  - value: bar_evening
    description: Social hours at The Last Shift — off-duty, relaxed, drinks flowing

  - value: night_shift
    description: Late hours, skeleton crew. Quieter, more intimate conversations.

  - value: investigation
    description: Player is actively asking pointed or probing questions

  - value: confrontation
    description: >
      Triangle tension has escalated past the pressure threshold. NPCs are
      agitated, defensive, or aggressive. Activated by triangle pressure system.

  - value: social
    description: NPC is in a social activity — bar, break room, casual conversation

  - value: alone
    description: NPC is by themselves, no other NPCs nearby

  - value: emergency
    description: An urgent event is occurring — alarm, accident, security incident

  - value: routine
    description: Normal daily activity, nothing notable happening

  - value: observation
    description: Player is watching from a distance, not directly interacting

  - value: greeting
    description: >
      Initial contact phase of an encounter. Layer 2 (D-028) uses greeting lines
      with access tier filtering to differentiate first meeting vs established vs
      post-confrontation greetings. Added Sprint 8 amendment. NOTE: server
      derive_situations() does not yet push Situation::Greeting — pending Rust update.
