Critical Path
Single highest-risk dependency: #261 Dual Lens Authoring Guide. If delayed, everything downstream shifts.
Notes
- Existing tickets #190, #191, #192 (content packs) now have parallel spatial layout co-deliverables (#311, #312, #313). Content and layout must be developed together.
- Existing ticket #179 (NPC profiles) now has a split: 2 NPCs (Kael, Sera) at production-level depth via #297/#298, remaining 13 at v0.1 tiers.
- #303 (Visual Grammar) supersedes #252 (Placeholder art spec) in scope.
- #305 (Dialogue pipeline) and #193 (Line previewer) share code — build previewer AS the pipeline.
- #327 (Audio assets) ownership TBD — needs someone to run Stable Audio Open generation pipeline.
