# Sprint 7: Talk — Copy Tasks

**Goal:** Complete interaction UI layer and activate basic dialogue system with NPC conversations.

**Branch:** `copy`
**Agents:** Mellanie (author), Paula (narrative), Gestalt (systems)

## Carry-over from Sprint 6

None — all Sprint 6 copy tickets completed.

## New Tickets

| # | Title | Blocked by |
|---|-------|------------|
| #443 | Archetype evidence presentation spec — detective case file vs smuggler notebook | — |

Use `db/connectors/ticket show <id>` for full details.

## Key Decisions

- `decisions/content.md` — D-065 (inventory spec), D-034 (THE FRIEND pattern)
- `decisions/perception.md` — D-033 (entity color as relationship)
- `decisions/scope.md` — D-027 (vertical slice criteria)

## Notes

### #443: Archetype evidence presentation spec
**What exists:**
- D-065 inventory spec (3x3 grid, 1-9 hotkeys, all characters get 9 slots)
- D-034 THE FRIEND pattern (contradiction discovery as wow moment #3)
- Smuggler character profile (wiki, NPC-format brief from Sprint 5 #383)
- Detective character profile (wiki, NPC-format brief from Sprint 5 #383)
- Inventory UI (client #438, Sprint 6/7) — will render items in grid

**What the ticket needs:**
- Design specification document at `docs/design/archetype-evidence-presentation.md`
- **Detective version:** Case file aesthetic — institutional, analytical, organized
  - Evidence item presentation: formal labels, clinical descriptions
  - Contradiction markers: flagged discrepancies, red highlight on conflicting data
  - Visual language: clean, structured, Commission-approved formatting
  - Example items: badge, datapad, evidence tags, contraband samples
- **Smuggler version:** Personal notebook aesthetic — informal, pragmatic, survival-focused
  - Evidence item presentation: handwritten notes, practical labels, street terminology
  - Contradiction markers: crossed-out notes, question marks, personal uncertainty
  - Visual language: rough, lived-in, annotated by hand
  - Example items: manifest copy, access token, comm log (from Sprint 6 #441)
- UI copy for both archetypes (item names, descriptions, tooltip text)
- Spec must inform visual design (for future sprite work) and copy tone

**Integration points:**
- Informs client inventory UI rendering (future: item sprites will follow this aesthetic)
- Informs copy team authoring of item descriptions (tone, voice, formatting)
- Builds on D-065 inventory mechanics (both archetypes use same 3x3 grid, different presentation)
- Supports D-034 THE FRIEND contradiction discovery (how contradictions appear in case file vs notebook)

**Gotchas:**
- This is a design spec, not implementation — no code, no sprites yet
- Focus on: tone, voice, labeling conventions, contradiction presentation, archetype differentiation
- Smuggler notebook should feel personal (this is YOUR notebook), detective case file should feel institutional (this is COMMISSION evidence)
- Contradiction presentation is key: detective sees "DISCREPANCY FLAGGED", smuggler sees "wait, that doesn't add up" handwritten note
- Reference D-033 entity color as relationship model — evidence is also relationship-dependent (what detective flags as suspicious, smuggler sees as normal)

## Dependency Chain

```
#443 (evidence spec) → standalone, design document
```

## Sprint 7 Copy Load

Sprint 7 has only **1 copy ticket** — light workload. #443 is a design specification (not authoring), estimated 4-6 hours.

If capacity allows, copy team can preview Sprint 8 content work:
- Line pool authoring (once server #308 spec is complete)
- Dialogue content for v0.1 NPCs
- Monologue pool expansion

## PR Workflow

When ready to submit, create a PR with `tea` CLI. All flags are required to avoid TTY prompts:
```bash
tea pr create --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --login schweitz --title "docs(copy): archetype evidence presentation spec" --description "See docs/sprints/sprint-7/copy.md" --base main --head copy
