// Overheard Conversations Pool
//
// Schema: server/src/npc/overheard.rs :: OverheardPool  (TBD — pending #663)
// Ticket: #664 (copy team, Sprint 27)
// Decision refs: D-078 (occlusion-resilient authoring), D-142 (zone-type architecture),
//                D-122 (all NPCs generated), D-139 (behavior primitives model)
//
// FORMAT NOTE: This file introduces a new content pattern — generator-compatible overheard
// conversations parameterized by role pair and zone type. Pending D-record (see Q-WTF
// note at end of decisions/content.md). The format is authored independently of any
// specific NPC instance: role_pair draws from zone-type template role IDs; the generator
// resolves role → NPC at runtime.
//
// HOW THIS WORKS:
//   At runtime, the generator finds two NPCs in proximity whose roles match `role_pair`
//   and whose zone type matches an entry in `zone_types`. The conversation is assembled
//   with per-word occlusion applied based on player distance, ambient noise level, and
//   ListeningFocus stance (D-078). Culture modifier can be applied to the assembled text
//   at the same layer as behavior primitive assembly.
//
// OCCLUSION-RESILIENT AUTHORING RULES (D-078 — apply to every line authored here):
//   1. Front-load key information — most important word in the first third of the line.
//   2. Short declarative sentences — one idea per turn.
//   3. No pronoun-first openers — first word has highest drop risk under occlusion.
//      A dropped pronoun without antecedent is unresolvable. Use role nouns or subjects.
//   4. Each turn is self-contained — a player who hears only one side gets a complete thought.
//
// REGISTERS:
//   Work   — shift logistics, job gripes, operational notes
//   Social — idle chat, personal news, relationship signals
//   Gossip — third-party information with player-relevant knowledge payload
//
// RELATIONSHIP CONTEXT:
//   Colleague   — same-level co-workers
//   Acquaintance — recognize each other, not close
//   Friend      — off-duty warmth, shared history signals
//   Superior    — one holds authority over the other (speaker_a is superior)
//   Subordinate — one defers to the other (speaker_a is subordinate)
//
// KNOWLEDGE PAYLOAD:
//   Describes what a player can infer from a fully-heard exchange, or the
//   key fragment retained under partial occlusion. None if the exchange is
//   social atmosphere with no investigative value.
//
// PRIMITIVES ARE CULTURE-NEUTRAL. No cultural attitudes in action or speech text.
