**Updated 2026-09-08 17:15 Jerusalem (UTC+3).** PM and GPT work continues; only the two Claude roles are paused. All work remains **design only**.

**19 tracked design packages: 18 preparation-closed, 1 open.** Whole-game outline17 closed16:20 and Player Information18 closed16:35 today. Survival and Loadout19 closed16:45. Shared integration04 remains dependent on the station contract and owner choices. New package19 was explicitly added380, not silently substituted for another outcome. Closed preparation remains separate from owner selection and complete game design.

**20 tracked design packages: 18 preparation-closed, 2 open.** New package20 Equipment Catalogue was explicitly added394; shared integration04 remains dependent. Outline17, information18 and survival19 are prepared. These are bounded written outcomes, not complete game domains or an overall game-completion percentage.
“Closed” means the bounded written design/review outcome is complete. It does not mean a feature is implemented, every detail approved or fun validated. This board covers the current design batch; it is not a complete campaign or production backlog, and the closed/total ratio is not an overall game-completion percentage. Stable IDs stay fixed; added/reopened work must be recorded explicitly.

**Planned availability change —8 Sep:** the owner paused both Claude roles for token limits and intends to bring them back in the morning. PM will not wake them or infer resumption from host status or the clock. New Claude-dependent work is queued; routine monitoring is hourly and quiet during the break. The forecast already assumed overnight downtime, so its dates remain unchanged. A later restart would trigger a new estimate.
+
**Availability correction —8 Sep:** the owner paused only Claude, and explicitly confirmed PM and the existing GPT Systems designer should continue. PM’s broader stop was an incorrect inference and has been withdrawn. Systems is authoring; a temporary independent GPT reviewer handles the named review, while PM works on full-v1 coverage. Neither permanent Claude role will be woken or replaced before owner confirmation. Active one-minute fallback monitoring and15-minute progress/forecast reports are restored.
## Forward forecast — baseline F1
@@ 43,7 43,7 @@
The critical sequence is core decisions and interfaces → whole-game architecture/content budget → domain designs → cross-domain integration → v1. Content detail proceeds in parallel only where interfaces are stable. Extra writers do not eliminate the PM/review bottleneck.

**Next milestone:** resume coordination after the owner brings Claude back in the morning; specialist setup remains planned9–10 Sep. Today’s information contract closed16:35 and survival contract closed16:45, ahead of their closeout windows. The coherent core targets11 Sep(range10–14); the complete first-pass wiki targets22 Sep(range18–29).

**Next deliveries:** Equipment Catalogue draft target18:00 today(range17:30–18:15), reviewed package18:30(range18:00–19:00). PM’s whole-v1 coverage check targets17:45(range17:30–18:15), identifying the remaining domain work rather than counting prepared packages as full completion. Core11 Sep(10–14), complete first-pass wiki22 Sep(18–29), and specialist setup9–10 Sep remain unchanged.

## What changed in this report
-
- The whole-game outline is preparation-closed16:20, and the proposed information/accessibility contract closed16:35 after its focused review and response.
-
- Survival and loadout closed16:45 after one review/response. Capacity, oxygen refill and prepared-canister states are explicit proposals; numerical balance remains unvalidated.
-
- The owner paused both Claude agents for token limits. They will remain paused until the owner confirms their return; no routine messages need forwarding.
-
- The UI estimates now distinguish the completed first-pass contract from a later35–59-role-hour inventory. Survival and UI overlap must be counted once; earlier planning envelopes are not logged effort or remaining-work totals. Scope reassessment remains9 Sep18:00.
+
- GPT work continues under the owner’s clarification393. The Claude-only token pause is not a project-wide blocker.
+
- Systems394 is producing12 proposed reusable parts with individual behavior, costs, discovery contexts and concrete legal combinations. Existing model/effort and ownership are preserved.
+
- A temporary GPT reviewer saved and hashed independent criteria before seeing the draft. PM will relay one focused review and author response; Claude Reviewer remains paused.
+
- PM is checking full-v1 coverage and unique remaining deliverables. The18 prepared packages include local examples and alternatives; campaign, content, cast and integration work still need a complete backlog.

This is planned downtime, not a failed handoff. New work that needs the paused roles stays queued.

The available team continues useful work. No manual message forwarding is needed, and a paused provider does not suspend other authorized agents.

## Reporting agreement
-
PM sends a compact report every15 minutes while useful work is active, plus meaningful completion, disagreement, blocker or decision updates. During the owner’s planned pause, with no active work, hourly unchanged checks stay quiet and periodic activity reports stop. Each report gives the timestamp, changes since the previous report, numeric open/closed preparation counts, real worker activity, blockers, next deliverable with ETA, current v1 target and any forecast change, and a link here. An unchanged interval is stated honestly. No page/message counts or invented completion percentages stand in for progress. Clearly labelled estimated dates and ranges are required; never present them as known facts or guaranteed deadlines. The local monitor requires the computer and apps to remain available.
