# Sprint 36: Forge — Copy Tasks
|
||
|
||
**Goal:** Close Phase 3 Atlas (unified nav chain, brand corps, content refinement) and establish Phase 4 foundations (bookmark system, location-culture resolution, character creation skeleton).
|
||
|
||
**Branch:** `sprint-36/copy`
|
||
**Agents:** Mellanie (author), Paula (narrative), Gestalt (systems)
|
||
|

||
## Key Decisions
|
||
|
||
- `decisions/economics.md` — D-189 (brand layer architecture — 8 categories), D-190 (brand volume calibration), D-185 (brands are not commodities), D-182 (TOML source of truth)
|
||
- `decisions/architecture.md` — D-191 (atlas pipeline, markers.json pixel-space format, cultural corridor naming palettes)
|
||
- `decisions/content.md` — D-128 (culture implicit in starting location — corridor identity matters for brand names and atlas names)
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
**#849 — Core-world atlas cohesion pass — hand-refine high-visibility systems**
|
||
- The high-traffic systems in the Reach (Gateway/Sirius, Groombridge/Lendel, Van Maanen's Star, Lalande, etc.) were generated by the Sprint 35 Gemma pipeline. These are the systems players will see most — they need white-glove treatment above the baseline #838 pass.
|
||
- Deliverable: edited `markers.json` files for each priority system. Files live under `tooling/planet-gen/generate/` (path is `<system_id>/<body_id>/markers.json`).
|
||
- D-191 §8: markers.json is in pixel-space `[row, col]` format against a `512 × 256` grid. City positions, road polylines, and named features all use this format. Do not convert to lat/lon — that is a display-time derivation.
|
||
- Corridor naming palettes per D-191: north_reach (Anglo-Saxon), south_reach (Iberian/Portuguese), east_reach (East Asian), west_reach (Germanic/Nordic), inner_orbit (institutional Latin/Anglo). Cohesion pass should check that names match the corridor palette and that no Earth-echoes slip through the blocklist.
|
||
- This is a child of #838 and should share notes on quality standards.
|
||
|
||
**#838 — Review and hand-refine generated atlas content across all inhabited bodies**
|
||
- Baseline refinement pass across all 273 inhabited bodies. Blockers (#832, #833) are already done from Sprint 35.
|
||
- Check city placements: not in water (ocean/river cells in the heightmap), not on steep mountain slopes, reasonable quadrant distribution.
|
||
- Check names: culturally appropriate for corridor, no Earth IP echoes, no dedup collisions.
|
||
- Check infrastructure: road and rail paths should follow terrain logic — rivers and valleys are cheap corridors, mountains are expensive. Paths that cross mountains without a pass are a generation artifact.
|
||
- Deliverable: corrected `markers.json` files committed to `tooling/planet-gen/generate/`. Document any systematic issues found (patterns the generator repeats) in a refinement notes file so the generator can be patched.
|
||
|
||
**#828 — Author 120-170 notable brand corps across all 8 categories**
|
||
- Source of truth format: TOML entries for `content/brands/brands.toml` (or equivalent — check with server team on exact file location used by #829 generate_brands pipeline).
|
||
- D-189: 8 categories with census targets:
|
||
- terroir: 15-20 (planetary origin goods — food, wine, materials)
|
||
- heritage_craft: 10-15 (old-world craftsmanship — tools, fabric, instruments)
|
||
- tech_premium: 20-25 (consumer electronics, implants, vehicles)
|
||
- cultural: 15-20 (entertainment, fashion, media)
|
||
- service_premium: 10-15 (hospitality, professional services)
|
||
- commodity_branded: 15-20 (branded commodity goods — fuel, water, staples)
|
||
- design_heritage: 10-15 (luxury goods, art, high design)
|
||
- institutional: 10-15 (education, healthcare, finance brands)
|
||
- D-190: these are notable brands, not minor ones. They are the top-of-mind touchstones in the Reach — the ones players will encounter in dialogue, on signage, in product descriptions. Minor brands (~10K) are generated by #829.
|
||
- D-185: brand corps are commodity demand nodes — they consume raw/intermediate goods from the economy simulation. Brand entries should specify their primary inputs (which commodity categories they consume).
|
||
- D-182: TOML is the source of truth. Each brand entry needs: name, category, founding_system (or corridor), price_tier, tagline (optional but useful for copy team), primary_inputs (list of commodity categories).
|
||
- Coordinate with server team (#829) to confirm the exact TOML schema before starting bulk authoring.

## Dependency Chain
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
#849 (core-world cohesion) — standalone, start immediately
|
||
#838 (baseline refine pass) — standalone, start immediately; #849 is a deeper pass on the same files
|
||
#828 (brand corps authoring) — standalone; coordinate with server on schema before bulk writing
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## PR Workflow
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
tea pr create --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --login schweitz \
