jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.7 75287f9534 content(wiki): address PR #138 round 2 — N1 + N2
- N1: wiki/factions/lattice-commission.md:144 — refresh footer
  Updated: timestamp to 2026-04-22. Round-1 fix touched the
  frontmatter but missed the footer block; both fields now agree.
- N2: wiki/factions/index.md — rewrite the Local Factions cross-ref
  to describe the-ring.md as it actually is on the branch:
  a canonical named faction (faction_type: criminal, status:
  canonical) documenting an informal contraband network at
  district scale, preserved as the one maintained worked example
  for corridor authors. Previous prose mischaracterized the file
  as an "archetype doc," which it is not.

lattice-commission.md has no direct link to the-ring.md, so no
change needed there — the only corridor-wide phrasing left is
"informal contraband networks" in the Faction Relationships
table, which is a generic structural observation about smuggling
as a Commission enforcement target, not a cross-ref to the-ring.md.

Factions

Political and institutional factions operating across the Settled Reach.

Major Factions

Faction Type Role
Concord Assembly Government Reach-wide representative body, seated at Sirius
Lattice Commission Regulatory body Neural lattice regulation, transit/information oversight, HQ at ACB
Veil Institute Research institution Alien horizon gate research, dominant at Gateway
Syndics Commercial combines Supply chain operators — agriculture, manufacturing, finance
Guardians of Autonomy Political movement Counter-surveillance, anti-institutional concentration
The Unbound Cultural movement Anti-lattice, voluntary disconnection

Regional Factions

Faction Scope Role
Compact of Westphalia West_reach (hops 6-16) Mutual recognition treaty; coordinated non-compliance with Assembly authority

Local Factions

Faction Scope Role
The Ring District-level Informal contraband network operating inside a freight logistics district — structure, cargo, community role documented as a canonical worked example for corridor authors

Local factions emerge from specific district conditions and are authored on demand. The Ring above is the one canonical worked example currently maintained; additional district-scale informal networks will be added as new corridor content is written.
