Sprint 16: Converse — Copy Tasks

Goal: Dialogue becomes a two-way exchange — players pick options and the server responds; NPC information-giving deepens through trust and trait-shaped delivery; the sprite pipeline gets its correct art-direction angle; and housekeeping fixes land across all three active teams.

Branch: copy Agents: Mellanie (author), Paula (narrative), Gestalt (systems)

Carry-over from Sprint 15

None. Sprint 15 was 100% complete (16/16 done).

Key Decisions

decisions/content.md — D-035 (tag taxonomy; Sprint 15 amendment: line ID namespace change from location-scoped to NPC-scoped), D-028 (dialogue architecture, line pool format)
decisions/process.md — D-022 (process workflow)

Notes

#542 — Migrate line IDs from location-scoped to NPC-scoped namespace

What exists: All dialogue and monologue YAML files under content/campaigns/main/systems/van-maanens-star/stations/sova/districts/transit/. There are approximately 20 dialogue pool files and a set of monologue pool files. The current line ID scheme uses the location as prefix:

Old: the-terminal_d_039 (all NPCs at The Terminal share one ID sequence)
New: kael-davan_d_001, dock-worker_d_001 (each NPC has an independent sequence)

The D-035 Sprint 15 amendment confirmed this change. The collision that prompted it (the-terminal_d_039 appeared in multiple NPC files) demonstrates the old scheme does not scale to procedurally generated populations.

Dialogue pool files to update (location + NPC name):

dialogue/maintenance-corridors/kael-davan.yaml
dialogue/maintenance-corridors/ring-operative.yaml
dialogue/maintenance-corridors/transit-worker.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/bar-owner.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/bar-regular.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/bartender.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/day-worker.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/kael-davan.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/pc-detective.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/pc-smuggler.yaml
dialogue/the-last-shift/sera-venn.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/courier.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/dock-worker.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/kael-davan.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/maintenance-tech.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/new-hire.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/pc-detective.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/pc-smuggler.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/scheduler.yaml
dialogue/the-terminal/shift-supervisor.yaml

Monologue files: Check all monologue/detective/*.yaml and monologue/smuggler/*.yaml (if present) for any m_ prefixed line IDs that use the old location-slug convention.

ID scheme rules:

For each NPC file, assign a fresh sequence starting at _001:

Dialogue lines: {npc-slug}_d_{###} — e.g., kael-davan_d_001
Monologue lines: {npc-slug}_m_s_{###} (smuggler) or {npc-slug}_m_d_{###} (detective) per D-032

The npc-slug is the NPC's name in kebab-case: kael-davan, dock-worker, shift-supervisor, pc-smuggler, pc-detective, etc.

Each file's IDs restart at _001 — do not carry a running counter across files. The 999-line ceiling is per-NPC, not per-location.

Schema: The dialogue-pool.schema.json regex pattern already accepts the new format (^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*). Only the description field in the schema needs updating to reference the new convention. No code changes required — line IDs are opaque strings to the server.

Authoring docs: Update docs/workshops/content-gap-analysis_v0_1/ or any voice guide that references the old {location_slug} convention. Check docs/briefings/mellanie.md and related copy briefings for any hardcoded examples.

Golden tests: Run make pre-pr after all renames to confirm no golden test snapshots reference old IDs. The content cross-reference validation (CI ticket #464, done) will catch any mismatches between schema and file content.

This is a mechanical rename with zero content changes. Do not rewrite lines, adjust trust tiers, or add new content in this ticket. Pure ID substitution only.

Dependency Chain

#542 (line ID namespace migration) → standalone, no dependencies
