jpmschweitzerandClaude Sonnet 4.6 0f1eda8d12 chore(meta): restructure Sprint 25 per feasibility study

Dependency chain inverted: #611 (NpcBlueprint structs) now goes first
and defines the schema contract. Copy team (#609, #610) fills YAML to
match Tyre's structs rather than the other way around.

#613 (NPC generation pipeline) cancelled and absorbed into #612 — the
NPC pipeline is the print loop at the end of the generator binary, not
a separate ticket.

Ticket descriptions loosened: strip over-specified acceptance criteria,
replace with intent + scope boundaries. Phoneme generation explicitly
out of scope for #610 (name lists are sufficient). #612 gains a phased
approach note (Phase 1: hardcoded stubs, Phase 2: real YAML) so server
can build in parallel with copy.

Briefings updated to reflect inverted chain, two-ticket server sprint,
and exploratory framing: this sprint discovers the right spec, it does
not implement a known one.

Sprint 25: Emerge — Copy Tasks

Goal: Prove the generator can extrapolate from minimal input — a rural Krenn area AND an industrial Krenn zone from zone type and culture profile alone, no per-location spec. Two zone types, one culture, side-by-side comparison.

Branch: copy Agents: Miri (worldbuilding lead), Mellanie (voice/dialogue review)

New Tickets

#	Title	Blocked by
#609	Zone identity spec	#611 (server defines schema first)
#610	Krenn culture profile	#611 (server defines schema first)

Key Decisions

decisions/scope.md — D-114 (generator-first proof-of-life), D-119 (generator spike critical path)
decisions/content.md — D-121 (voice is culture-driven, job as modifier), D-122 (all NPCs generated), D-128 (culture implicit in starting location), D-129 (NPC personality: traits + behavior first)
decisions/architecture.md — D-012 (chunk-based map, borderless generation future)

Notes

How this sprint works for copy

Server starts first. Tyre (#611) defines ZoneSpec, CultureProfile, and NpcBlueprint as Rust structs and writes example YAML showing the expected format. That YAML is the schema contract. Copy fills real content into that schema — not the other way around.

Wait for #611 to deliver its example YAML before writing the real files. Coordinate with Tyre at sprint start to agree on file locations (content/global/zone-identity-spec.yaml and content/global/culture-krenn.yaml are the expected paths, but Tyre's struct design is authoritative).

#609 — Zone identity spec

Output: YAML file the generator deserializes at runtime. Schema defined by Tyre's ZoneSpec struct from #611.
Minimum two zone types with real content: rural and industrial. These are the two the sprint proof runs. Remaining types can be stubs with plausible values.
The taxonomy must make the generator produce visibly different output per zone type — if rural and industrial look the same, it has failed.
Content scope: what varies between zone types (density, pace, social site mix, NPC role distribution). Not prose worldbuilding — structured parameters that the Rust generator can read.
Do not invent the schema. Read #611's example YAML first.

#610 — Krenn culture profile

Output: YAML file the generator deserializes at runtime. Schema defined by Tyre's CultureProfile struct from #611.
Must provide enough cultural signal that generated NPCs feel Krenn, not generic-space-village.
Sprint scope: name lists (not phoneme generation rules — Tyre's generator picks from lists), speech markers, economic values, social norms.
Phoneme-based name generation is explicitly out of scope for this sprint. A curated list of Krenn-sounding names is sufficient.
Existing Krenn atmosphere and naming examples in decisions/content.md D-036 (amended post-workshop) are a starting point. Go deeper on concrete values (specific speech markers, actual name examples) not broader on atmospheric description.
Do not invent the schema. Read #611's example YAML first.

Dependency Chain

server #611 (schema contract) ──> #609 (zone spec YAML)  ──┐
                                                            ├──> server #612 (generator)
                            ──> #610 (culture YAML) ───────┘

Server defines the shape. Copy fills it. Both #609 and #610 can be written in parallel once #611 delivers its example YAML.
