Maintainer: PM. Owner input recorded 2026-09-06 UTC.
## Confirmed requirements
+
- The owner confirms adding extra members (2026-09-06 follow-up). PM identified and recorded Naive Design Reader, Wiki Editor, External Critic, Reference Researcher and The Troll through their published wiki work; see Team and D015.
- Genre: survivorlike.
- Central priorities: exploration, experimentation, mystery.
- The Flood is an overwhelming mass of enemies. Zombies and aliens are examples, not a selected enemy roster or setting.

| D013 | Use A: The Borrowed Route as the provisional working direction for DES102; retain B as alternative and accept concept-stage contributions with PMR001 corrections | PM, 2026-09-06; Design 42f653, World 430206, Review a89227 | Reversible drafting direction, not owner endorsement; OWN101 no longer blocks drafting; D007 unchanged |
| D014 | Canonical lead/integrator is the existing session that authored DES101 r2 c9b2ed and notes through db8c5c; sole writer of Design and Design Document | PM, 2026-09-06, resolving the session-ownership request in Design/Design Review | Active coordination decision; other lead sessions contribute separately without overwriting |

| D015 | Record five owner-added contributors: Naive Design Reader, Wiki Editor, External Critic, Reference Researcher, The Troll | Owner follow-up, 2026-09-06; PM identifies role names from their work pages | Active expanded roster on Team; previous unrecorded/outside labels are historical; existing design-only/asset rules apply |
+
| D016 | Confirm D013's continuous post-entry attraction and panel-only entrance selection after the designers' sight-limited alternative | PM, 2026-09-06, Tasks PMU002 response to Q28 / World r9–r12 / TRL C11 | Current drafting baseline; alternative remains available for argued revision; no further confirmation needed to continue |
+
| D017 | Hold the Flood is the owner-supplied working project title; final commercial naming is not locked | PM correction, 2026-09-06, EXT X9 / TRL C2 | Corrects PMR001's overstatement; no title change performed; final naming belongs to owner |

| D018 | Add audience/value evidence as document criterion 11; combine related product choices into a recommendation | PM, 2026-09-06, accepting External Critic X18 and addressing X20 | Revises PM's criteria, not owner requirements; no price, content expansion or commercial viability accepted |

**D013 rationale and limits.** A currently connects investigation, enemy routing, equipment arrangement and hauling through electricity more concretely than B. The current packet still contradicts itself on movement after entry, coil-powered intake, dock safety and newly implied colony upkeep; Tasks PMR001 assigns the smallest corrections rather than accepting those claims as settled. Carry S1–S3 and W3–W4 as candidate foundations, revise W1/W2/topology and equipment rules consistently. Provisional scope defaults: one fixed district and an ending; no kill XP (charge as combat yield); top-down 2D; no mandatory colony upkeep or decay. Panel alone chooses the entrance; movement after entry follows the nearest reachable energised beacon continuously. Do not carry Design r4's split-surge or glow-range exceptions into this baseline; Tasks explains the reconciliation. Use r4's nonconductive modules and wet-salvage leakage. All are revisable design assumptions, not owner approvals. Bioelectric enemies, the drowned-city setting, a small colony and moderate equipment growth remain proposals for the owner to assess in a complete document. A is not an approved production scope. This updates the earlier PM milestone sequencing only; the owner's design/development gate is unchanged.
Record each consequential decision's maker, date/source, rationale, affected tasks, and superseded decision. Concept acceptance is not approval to build.
