The two detailed drafts arrived just before the pause and have not been accepted. Their new text, occurrences, quantities or refinements do not amend the first-pass baseline. No further source integration, design authoring or review is scheduled during the hold. The five outstanding owner choices remain unanswered; existing proposals and the early story draft remain revisable.

**Forecast status.** F1.15 records actual M2/M3 completion on9 September, replacing F1.14's predicted11/14 September dates. There is no remaining M3 task or forward10–18-hour coherence allowance. The previous detailed-campaign estimate was10 November (20 October–1 December), low confidence; it and the same-day39/40 targets are now **on hold**, to be rebased after feedback/resumption. Paused time is not counted as agent work. No additional agent or implementation phase is required for the human review.

All work remains design only. No code, build, simulation, playtest, purchase or game asset is authorized by first-pass completion or this pause.

### Forward forecast — baseline F1
**Adopted F1.14 forecast — 9 September:** M3 first-pass wiki now targets **14 September (11–18 September), low confidence**. M2 coherent core remains11 September (10–14); M4 detailed campaign remains10 November (20 October–1 December). Earlier published22 September remains in the history below. These are estimates, not deadlines guaranteed by team agreement.
@@ 30,7 53,7 @@
M4 remains a low-confidence forecast: the SMALL inventory is prepared but not an owner-selected final game size, and exhaustive branch/arrangement depth is unproven. Scope37 supplies a current conditional350–590 role-hour M4 roll-up; it does not count uncreated specialists as available capacity. The initial30–60-working-day estimate with two additional specialists, and40–80 with the original team alone, are historical baseline scenarios rather than current staffing prerequisites. The10November target (20October–1December) remains unchanged pending actual evidence. Re-estimate after three representative detailed packages—a mechanism room, a two-language correction and a short rescue/home arc—are written and checked. Final gameplay validation requires a separately authorized phase and has no established endpoint.

### Extra agents — when and why
**No extra agent creation is required today.** Restored original Lead/Reviewer and existing Systems have substantive parallel assignments. Reconsider a technical/production specialist on10 September only if the concrete handoff queue needs independent expertise; campaign evidence integration is optional only for an actual unresolved gap.

### Reporting agreement
PM sends a compact report every15 minutes during authorized active work, plus meaningful completion, disagreement, blocker or decision updates. Owner pause suspends work/check-ins;490 explicitly resumed them. Reports include open/closed preparation counts, actual delivery/activity, next target/range, current v1 forecast and its changes. No page/message count or invented game-completion percentage substitutes for progress. The fallback requires the computer and apps to remain available.
