jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 65e033443f docs(decisions): file D-140 dialogue quality rules, D-142 zone-type template architecture (#647)
D-140: Paula's six rules for dialogue re-voicing quality — secret-tier
passthrough, epistemic weight, access tier feel, named entity
passthrough, relationship-specific lines, culture register override.
D-142: Zone-type template architecture — three-layer behavior system,
31 zone types for v1.0, POI three-tier system, scale math for 300+
systems with 300+ cultures. Amend D-123 (baked vs pre-voiced modes),
supersede D-124 (resolved by two-spike strategy).

# 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:
```bash
# 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
