jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 af4d0d3f26 docs(workshops): complete v0.1 content gap analysis workshop
Workshop produced 42 new tickets (#297-#338) + 6 updated, 9 new
decisions (D-032 through D-040), and 53 dependency links. All 18
agent briefings updated to reflect 40 confirmed decisions.

Key outcomes: Sera Venn as detective's FRIEND, Kael Davan as
smuggler's FRIEND, all 6 wow moments in scope, converged 6+3 tag
taxonomy, wiki taxonomy with 14 categories, 8 audio files via
Stable Audio Open, 4 parallel unblocked work tracks identified.

Dudley - Project Briefing

Last updated: 2026-02-11

Current Project State

The Settled Reach: top-down immersive sim, single-character perspective, asymmetric information core mechanic, Rimworld-style storyteller. 40 confirmed decisions, 17 discussion rounds + 1 workshop complete. Engine selected (D-020: Rust/bevy_ecs server). Vertical slice defined (D-027). v0.1 Content Gap Analysis Workshop complete.

Status

STANDBY. This briefing will be populated when backend/engine implementation begins.

Key Decisions for Your Domain

Read decisions/architecture.md (primary) and decisions/content.md (NPC model). Key decisions:

  • D-010: Four architectural principles (client-server, info boundaries, deterministic sim, input events)
  • D-020: Rust simulation server with bevy_ecs, MessagePack protocol to Godot client
  • D-024: NPC ECS model (10 axes + CombatCapability component)
  • D-026: Simulation tier engine (Active/Background/State-saved/Ungenerated, timestamp LRU)
  • D-030: Testability architecture (hybrid Rust tests, deterministic replay critical)
  • D-031: Time system (10 ticks = 1 game-minute, 4 day phases)

Development Workflow

See docs/DEVOPS.md for full procedures. Your key targets:

  • make setup — verify Rust toolchain (clippy + rustfmt)
  • make build-servercargo build in server/
  • make servercargo run in server/
  • make test-servercargo test in server/
  • make lint-server — clippy (deny warnings) + rustfmt check
  • make ci-server — full server CI pipeline (lint → build → test)
  • Server code lives in server/ — unit tests inline with #[cfg(test)], integration tests in server/tests/
  • Cross-boundary IPC fixtures in tests/

Workshop Decisions (Content Gap Analysis — relevant to server)

  • D-034: THE FRIEND ECS spec — 14 ECS components defined for production-level NPCs (NpcIdentity, Want, Secret, Relationships[3], ToleranceThreshold, DailyRoutine, InformationInventory, Contentment, PersonalityTraits, TellState, SkillSet, AccessTierMap, TriangleMembership, MoodState)
  • D-035: Converged tag taxonomy (6+3) — dialogue selection pipeline: access (hard filter) → situation (context filter) → trust (hard filter) → mood+topic (weighted selection). Server implements pipeline.
  • D-038: Audio architecture — event-driven: SoundEventEmitter → ObserverSnapshot → SoundRenderer. Server emits sound events.
