The owner supplied nine substantive answers. [Brief](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief#game-vision) records them as current direction: discovery before extraordinary builds; enemy manipulation as support; salvage/equipment tradeoffs; a preferred authored refuge cast and emotional purpose; 30h apparent ending / 90h total real ending / optional deepest secrets toward 100–200h total; clear immediate goals and good UX. Harvest-dependence revelation rejected for now; setting undecided. D024 is rejected, D022 superseded as complete-game scope. No new fiction, feasibility claim, agent, purchase or development approval was invented.

Brief, Tasks, Hub, Team, Campaign and World labels were updated with fresh pre-save reads and exact readback verification. The full previous Visionary contribution remains in Brief under a superseded heading, preserving its substance; its former active Hub summary was replaced by the owner's direction and a pointer to that preserved material. Author-owned specialist text and task receipts were preserved. Chat handoff was posted and verified as project message 25.

Visionary leads a replacement premise; existing roles support discovery, build expression, refuge characters and a defensible layered campaign. Old scene-polishing and service-comparison work is held pending selection of retained material. These are direction/assignment changes, not acceptance of later specialist revisions. PMR010 remains the last completed artifact-review checkpoint. **Its processed chat cursor remains 20**: intervening messages were retrieved for coordination, but their linked artifacts were not reviewed in this owner-direction turn. Next review must handle them, while recognising PM's owner-direction post as already published, not new specialist work.

No new owner question is required to start this bounded design pass. Discussions remain in chat; conclusions and current design stay on the wiki. The duration ambition needs a content plan before any claim of sufficient scope.

## PMR010 — current review checkpoint
**Completed 2026-09-07.** Compared changed sources with PMR009 and its chat-migration checkpoint. Read Hub, Brief, Tasks, Team, index, log, chat documentation and current conventions. Discussion and specific correction requests were posted and read back in **hold-the-flood** and **wiki**; this record keeps their durable conclusions, not the transcript.
