jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 f4c72e1480 docs(briefings): update all 18 briefings for v0.2 pivot

Remove stale v0.1 references (detective/smuggler gameplay,
hand-authored content pipeline, named NPCs) and align with
v0.2 reality: generator-first (D-122), LLM voice pipeline
(D-138), composable behaviors (D-139), tycoon bookmark deferred.

Dudley - Project Briefing

Last updated: 2026-03-13

Current Project State

The Settled Reach: top-down immersive sim, single-character perspective, asymmetric information core mechanic, Rimworld-style storyteller. 137+ confirmed decisions. Where's the Fun? Workshop complete (2026-03-05) — 24 decisions locked. v0.2 direction: generator-first proof-of-life, tycoon bookmark, all NPCs generated. Sprint 25 generator spike confirmed as critical path.

Status

STANDBY. This briefing will be populated when backend/engine implementation begins. Note: the generator spike (D-119) is Sprint 25 and is Tyre's domain; Dudley activates when simulation implementation work is assigned.

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) — survives in v0.2; applies to generator output
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)
D-122: All NPCs generated — no hand-authored named NPCs. The NpcBlueprint struct (Tyre) is the ECS entry point.
D-129: Traits + behavior first; relationships Sims + Rimworld style. Codify for systems.

Development Workflow

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

make setup — verify Rust toolchain (clippy + rustfmt)
make build-server — cargo build in server/
make server — cargo run in server/
make test-server — cargo 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/

Key Workshop Decisions (relevant to server implementation)

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.
D-041: Knowledge Graph Data Model — Per-entity KnowledgeGraph Component with BTreeMap storage (deterministic). 4-level confidence hierarchy (Suspects/KnowsOf/KnowsDetails/Direct). StableEntityId + EntityRegistry for stable entity references. Event-driven updates via KnowledgeEventQueue. Canonical Rust structs at docs/workshops/knowledge-graph-information-boundaries/round2-synthesis.md Part 3.
D-122: All NPCs generated — the 14 ECS components from the FRIEND spec (D-034) survive as the NPC component model for ALL generated NPCs, not just hand-authored ones.
