| 60 — Three worthwhile expeditions | [The observation ward](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal): repair, test an apparent window as an alien instrument, then reach a hidden refuge |
| 61 — Independent review and response | Corrected unearned puzzle inference, mismatched rig abilities, growth order and unexplained cost notation |

The chosen expedition and growth rules are aligned in Combat Rules and nine supporting articles. The new Ricochet and Gravity mechanisms are still proposed replacements for parts of the old detailed build rules; numerical reconciliation has not been declared complete.

| Outcome | Who | State | Next delivery, Jerusalem time |
|---|---|---|---|

| 58 — Review the revised hospital story and survival proposals | Temporary GPT review support | Working on current sources; former review was incomplete | Critique today 13:00; range 12:40–13:20 |
| 62 — Growth rhythm and a renewed route | Systems Designer | Working; new receiving turn verified | Draft today 13:00; range 12:40–13:30 |
| 63 — Independent cadence/route review | Temporary GPT reviewer | Criteria saved; waiting for the stopped draft | Critique today 13:30; range 13:00–14:00 |
This batch can continue while the owner reacts to the three build directions. It will show how regular growth feels during fighting, when a transformation lands, where fresh enemies fit around permanent closures, and how oxygen and quiet leave room for discovery.

The original Claude Design Lead and Reviewer are absent from the current native session directory. No assignment has been sent to another Claude session. PM, Systems and temporary GPT review support can complete this batch; no additional permanent agent is needed today.

The original Claude Design Lead and Reviewer were absent from the last native session-directory check earlier today. No assignment has been sent to another Claude session. PM, Systems and temporary GPT review support can complete this batch; no additional permanent agent is needed today.
The outside [Open Decisions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Open%20Decisions) review has been read and its fourteen groups triaged. Most room, character, language, interface and consistency work belongs to the team. The reported 49-page cleanup has not yet been independently verified by PM; current pages are checked as their topics are revised.
## Delivery forecast

Updated 15 September, forecast F2.2. Estimates assume work continues today and about five further active working days for the first full pass. The dates will change when actual delivery or remaining decisions change the work.

| Milestone | Target | Plausible range | What will be ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| First reviewed build/expedition packet | **Completed today 12:08** | Earlier than revised 13:00 target | Both proposals, critique, responses and PM checks |
| Growth and renewed-route draft | Today 13:00 | Today 12:40–13:30 | A concrete rhythm and an example using the actual station plan |
+
| Reviewed story/survival proposals | Today 14:00 | Today 13:00–15:00 | Current proposals, one focused critique, any necessary author response and PM disposition |
| Reviewed growth/route packet | Today 14:30 | Today 13:30–15:30 | Proposal, one critique, one response and PM disposition |
| Coherent revised design wiki | 23 September | 21–28 September | Readable core articles and supporting rules aligned with selected directions; consequential open choices explicit |
| Full detailed campaign design | 24 November | 3 November–22 December | Proposed progression, content, mysteries, ending paths and production scope developed across the campaign |
The near-term forecast has moderate confidence. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence; the detailed-campaign date has very low confidence and is a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate. Neither means the game is built, tested, balanced or proven to last the desired number of hours. Development and playtests await separate authorization.

The first packet was initially forecast for 14:15 today, advanced to 13:00 as drafts arrived, and completed at 12:08. The pre-pause estimates were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's unresolved core-loop findings require new dates. Earlier estimates and actual deliveries remain in this page's revision history.

Forecast F2.3 adds the resumed story/survival review in parallel, after its current sources were reconciled; existing delivery targets are unchanged. Earlier estimates and actual deliveries remain in this page's revision history.
