# Rejected Alternatives — Scope

Rejected proposals in the **scope** domain, rationale preserved for the audit trail.

### R-013: Localization / i18n
- **Rejected:** 2026-07-13
- **Reason:** Full localization — an i18n framework, translation management, and the volume of template writing the Settled Reach's procedurally-composed text would demand — is prohibitively expensive for a solo developer, and compounds against the Gemma-based naming/text generation: every generated string would need a parallel translation pathway. The game ships English-only. The `tiger` (Translator) agent persona was removed with this decision (see `.claude/agents/README.md` and TEAM.md). Revisit only if project scope and resourcing change fundamentally.
