jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 d9c2811842 feat(content): replace overheard.yaml with generator-compatible RON format
Archives the 48 hand-authored overheard conversations that referenced
deleted named NPCs (Kael, Sera, Torek). New RON pool format is
parameterized by role pair and zone type, culture-neutral, with
knowledge_payload for investigative value. 15 sample conversations
across 5 zone types. Adds content pattern note to decisions/content.md.

Ticket: #664

Decisions

Confirmed decisions, open questions, and rejected alternatives for The Settled Reach.

Decisions are split by domain. Each agent's briefing indicates which files to read. When in doubt about where a decision belongs: if it constrains how we build, it's architecture. If it defines what we build, it's scope. If it defines what the player experiences, it's content or perception. If it defines how the team works, it's process.

Cross-domain decisions live in one file with cross-reference notes in related files. Split threshold: when any file exceeds ~350 lines, review whether it should split.

Querying Decisions

The SQLite database contains a decisions table synced from these files. Common queries:

# All active architecture decisions
tooling/db/sqlite-query "SELECT id, title FROM decisions WHERE domain='architecture' AND status='active'"

# Decisions without implementing tickets
make decisions-orphan

# Decision coverage by domain
make decisions-coverage

Adding a Decision

  1. Edit the appropriate domain file
  2. Follow the existing format (### D-NNN: Title heading)
  3. Commit — the pre-commit hook runs decisions-sync automatically
  4. Update relevant agent briefings if needed
