Addresses Tyre, Hoshe, and lead review comments on PR #137: - **Audit doc amendment** (Tyre E1 / Hoshe H1 / Lead): add "Lead override (2026-04-21)" section at top of docs/architecture/sprint-37-878-audit.md. Rewrites the conclusion to "DECISION: STRIP" with the cascade-based rationale. Preserves the original audit body as the pre-override record. - **Regression tests** (Lead 2a-2b / Hoshe H2 / H3): add POSITIVE assertions of the new uniform behavior so silent reintroduction fails. - `phase2_container_verb_labels_uniform_regardless_of_player_state` — two trials (empty KG, POI-bearing KG) assert container verb labels equal Phase-1 defaults. - `monologue_pool_selection_uniform_no_archetype_key` — two observers with divergent MonologueState both draw from OBSERVE_NPC_LINES. - **Decision record amendments** (Lead 3 / Tyre S2): D-032, D-035, and D-057 amended with Phase 6 deferral wording. "Retired pending Phase 6, not deferred with scaffolding." Reintroduction gate: a confirmed Phase 6 character-model design. - **types.rs doc fixes** (Tyre S1 / Hoshe H5): StartupMessage protocol- flow comment updated to reflect no-version handshake (D-192). ObserverSnapshot version-history block grows a "Sprint 37 wire-format shifts" section documenting D-192 + #878 schema drops. - **observer/tests.rs:944 comment** (Hoshe H6): rewritten to cite cascade rationale instead of the stale D-032-SUPERSEDED premise. - **tests/run-atlas-determinism exit** (Hoshe H7): exit 0 when EXIT_CODE=2 (venv/DB missing = skip, not fail). Preserves skip semantics for tests/run-all on machines without the Python venv. Follow-up tickets filed: - #895 (server, low): expand check-systems-db-stamp GENERATOR_SOURCES to cover gemma_naming.py + naming_core.py (Tyre S3). - #896 (planning, low): add CLAUDE.md carveout for server wiki writes closing coverage gates (Tyre S4 / Hoshe H8). H4 investigation: v01_integration_playthrough.rs was not the only E2E handshake→tick→snapshot test; coverage preserved by bridge_ipc.rs, bridge_tcp.rs, and game_loop.rs (the latter is pre-existing-broken per #885). No replacement test needed. 1142/1142 lib tests pass. cargo clippy -- -D warnings clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
