Replace flat content/districts/ with hierarchical campaign/system/ station/district structure. Path mirrors canonical IDs, enables glob-based discovery, and is multi-campaign/DLC ready. - git mv 46 files preserving history - New metadata: campaign.yaml, system.yaml, station.yaml - Rewrite content.yaml with glob-based district discovery - Add campaign, system, station JSON schemas - Update district schema: hierarchy fields derived from path - Update npc-profile schema: accept district-scoped IDs - Add TODO to 17 dialogue/monologue pool files for generator revision - Update _meta/README.md with new hierarchy documentation Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Content Infrastructure
Directories prefixed with _ are infrastructure, not game content. The server content loader skips directories starting with _ when scanning for content files.
_meta/— Infrastructure metadata (this directory)_schema/— JSON Schema validation files (draft 2020-12)
Directory Hierarchy
Content is organized hierarchically to match the game universe:
content/
content.yaml # Manifest: campaign list, glob discovery patterns
global/ # Cross-campaign shared content (factions, enums, knowledge)
campaigns/
{campaign}/ # e.g., "main"
campaign.yaml
systems/
{system}/ # e.g., "krenn"
system.yaml
stations/
{station}/ # e.g., "sova"
station.yaml
districts/
{district}/ # e.g., "transit"
district.yaml
npcs/
locations/
triangles/
dialogue/
monologue/
routines/
templates/
Canonical ID Derivation
Identity is derived from directory path at load time — no redundant ID fields in YAML.
- District:
{system}.{station}.{district}(e.g.,krenn.sova.transit) - NPC (within district):
npc:{slug}(e.g.,npc:kael-davan) - NPC (cross-district):
npc:{district}.{slug}(e.g.,npc:transit.kael-davan) - Location:
{system}.{station}.{district}.location.{slug}
Content Discovery
The loader reads content.yaml for enabled campaigns and their glob patterns.
District discovery uses systems/**/districts/*/district.yaml — no per-district
manifest entry needed. Adding a district = creating a directory with district.yaml.
