System S-057 assigned to real star GJ 35 (Van Maanen's Star, DG white dwarf at 13.9 ly). Renamed across all content, server code, docs, decisions, wiki lore, and config files. 224 files updated. 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.

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., "van-maanens-star"
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.,van-maanens-star.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.
