NOT Ready — Blocked or Needs Design First

# Title Team Blocked by When Ready
#618 CK3-style character creation screen client #614 (bookmark definition) Sprint 29 (after #614 ships)
#680 Location picker in character creation UI client #679 (culture resolution) Sprint 29 (after #679 ships)
#681 Apartment generator logic server #615 (starting state) + #679 (culture resolution) Sprint 29 (after both ship)
#682 Apartment rendering + first-moment sequence client #681 (generator logic) Sprint 29+
#621 NPC personality surface area server #679 (culture resolution) Sprint 29 (after #679 ships). CRITICAL priority.
#622 Relationship formation system server #621 (NPC personality surface) Sprint 29+
#626 Setting delivery — both layers planning Q-WTF-041 unresolved (span gate feeling) Design pass needed first

Tickets Marked as Split (do not assign)

# Title Split into
#617 Auto-generated apartment #681 (server: generator) + #682 (client: rendering + first moment)
#620 Culture-implicit-in-location system #679 (server) + #680 (client). Original deleted.

Q-WTF-041 Note for #626

Ticket #626 (Setting delivery — both layers) references Q-WTF-041: "what should the player feel looking at the span gate from their apartment?" This question is unresolved. Before #626 can be split and implemented, the design spec for the visual + insert layers must be authored. Recommend a planning ticket for the design pass in Sprint 28, separate from implementation.


Critical Path

NPC legibility chain: #679 → #621 → #622 NPC personality surface area (#621) is CRITICAL priority. Get #679 (culture resolution) into Sprint 28 so #621 is unblocked for Sprint 29.

First Settled Reach moment: #615 + #679 → #681 → #682 The apartment moment (D-136) depends on both the tycoon starting state spec and culture resolution shipping first. Apartment rendering (#682) is the client-side emotional delivery — sprint-pair with #681.

Character creation chain: #614 → #618 Bookmark definition gates the creation screen UI.
