Supersede the atlas_body_heightmaps BLOB store with a per-body 16-bit grayscale heightmap.png (2048x1024, canonical elevation) next to a renamed reliefmap.png (color display render). Records the rationale (binary merge-conflict avoidance + DB size + viewable/deterministic single source), the multi-resolution split (Layer 1 downsamples to 512x256), and the dropped table.

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
- Edit the appropriate domain file
- Follow the existing format (
### D-NNN: Titleheading) - Commit — the pre-commit hook runs
decisions-syncautomatically - Update relevant agent briefings if needed
