**Eleven proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **15:26 Jerusalem time**: a readable campaign journey with visible horde scale, discovery payoffs and accurate return rules. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.
Start with [The Game](/Hold%20The%20Flood/The%20Game), continue through [three expeditions into the observation ward](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal), then [Coming Home](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home) and [Discovery in a Changing Station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station). For combat, follow [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds) into [Three Ways to Break a Horde](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison).

Each package received one focused critique, one response and PM checks. These are completed design proposals, not tested gameplay. The new Ricochet and Gravity controls remain proposed alternatives to the current detailed equipment rules. The two renewed-route examples do not yet cover every shifted layout or combination of permanent seals.

Read the scene in [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds), with placement in [Moving Scan Expedition](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Moving%20Scan%20Expedition). Its added rail, viewing bay, bridge and receiver make a fourteenth proposed major mechanism; physical fit and fun remain untested. The current proposals tackle two experience risks: making a short rescue feel like helping a person, and making the final station connection produce a lasting, perceptible payoff.

The tracker contains **73 outcomes: 69 preparation outcomes closed, 1 current design outcome, 1 readiness assessment reopened and 2 parked**. The completed preservation audit and its corrections belong within outcome 38; they do not close overall readiness. These counts are not a percentage of the finished game. Outcomes 39–40 remain parked and unaccepted pending the core corrections.

The original Claude Reviewer received the earlier assignment automatically but stopped at a monthly spend limit at 13:03. Temporary GPT support completed that review. The Lead was absent from the same directory check; availability will be checked again before a future handoff. No new permanent agent or manual message forwarding is needed for the current assignments.

Near-term estimates have moderate confidence. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence. The campaign date has very low confidence and remains a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate. None promises development, validated fun or the desired number of playable hours; those require a separately authorized phase.

The pre-pause targets were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's core-loop findings moved those dates. Today's first packet finished at 12:08 against a revised 13:00 target; subsequent packages finished at 12:32, 12:45 and 13:26. F2.17 records the journal completed at 15:06 and the campaign overview submitted at 15:10. Its draft arrived early, so the reviewed-version target moves from 17:00 to 16:00; review and the single response remain to be completed. The reviewed scope comparison and factual reference alignment finished at 14:56. The station-completion comparison finished at 14:36. The rescue comparison was completed at 14:20. The moving scan and preservation audit are complete. The overall dates remain unchanged because supporting design and creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.

F2.18 records the campaign overview completed at 15:26 and the cast draft submitted at 15:31, now in review. The home-loop page also now correctly says that either return brings fresh hordes next expedition. The journal finished at 15:06. The reviewed scope comparison and factual reference alignment finished at 14:56. The station-completion comparison finished at 14:36. The rescue comparison was completed at 14:20. The moving scan and preservation audit are complete. The overall dates remain unchanged because supporting design and creative choices still need work.
