# 3 trust tier values (D-035, D-028 Layer 3)
# Hard filter for trust-gated gossip disclosure
name: trust-tiers

description: >
  Trust tiers control information disclosure depth. Each NPC tracks trust
  progression per player character, starting at surface. Trust advances
  through repeated positive interactions. This is a hard filter — lines at
  'real' or 'secret' trust are invisible until the player earns that level.

values:
  - value: surface
    description: >
      Default tier. Safe, non-committal responses. What the NPC tells
      strangers and acquaintances. The public face.

  - value: real
    description: >
      Earned through repeated positive interactions. The NPC shares genuine
      opinions, workplace complaints, personal concerns. What they tell
      people they trust.

  - value: secret
    description: >
      Highest tier. The NPC reveals information they'd normally hide —
      involvement in the ring, knowledge of the smuggling operation,
      fears and vulnerabilities. Reaching this tier with THE FRIEND is
      where the contradiction arc becomes explicit.
