**Sixteen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **17:18 Jerusalem time**: [two trips with the same equipment and different earned upgrades](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Upgrade%20Choices), including a useful hybrid and a reach-versus-contacts trade. The [former-patient scene](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions) was submitted at **17:38** and is being revised after independent review. It connects a person in the crowd to an optional conversation with Ivo. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.

**Seventeen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **17:59 Jerusalem time**: [recognising a former patient inside a horde](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions), with evidence-based knowledge and an optional conversation with Ivo. Systems is now improving the first expedition around the player's first useful relay invention and its competing use in station machinery. 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).

| 76 — Receiver Vault expedition | 16:30 | [Turn the shelter, break a firing lane and investigate the iris](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Receiver%20Vault%20Expedition); proposed nearer arrival and existing longer route preserve different power choices |
| 77 — Enemy guide | 16:46 | [Nine creatures and two horde setpieces](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Combat%20And%20Enemy%20Roster), explained through visible warnings, pressure and responses; rescue and carrying examples corrected |
| 78 — Two trips, two different builds | 17:18 | [The same rig takes different earned paths](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Upgrade%20Choices); real declined alternatives, a hybrid, a new reach trade and the cost of a small offer pool |

| 79 — A person in the crowd | 17:59 | [Nadi's history and Ivo's memory](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions), with honest crossing evidence, ordinary horde combat and a cheaper record-only alternative |
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 new Receiver Vault proposal tackles a different risk: a later expedition must deliver growing power and a horde climax before its quiet discovery. It uses the existing vault rooms, enemies and machinery; the new reward opportunity remains a proposal. Earlier rescue and station-completion comparisons are ready for owner reaction.

The tracker contains **79 outcomes: 75 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.

The patient-scene estimate has moderate-to-low confidence because preserving one identity across renewed expeditions may require a simpler treatment. Other 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 opening estimate has moderate confidence: the personal relay combination already fits the current rules, while its clarity and emotional payoff still need a rewrite and review. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence. The campaign date has very low confidence and remains a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate.

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. F2.28 records the patient scene submitted at 17:38, ahead of the 18:50 draft target. Its independent review began at 17:40, so the reviewed target moves from 20:00 to 18:50, with allowance for one response and integration. The review is checking the human dialogue, what the player can actually know and the costs of a one-time identity within renewed crowds. The simpler record-only comparison remains available. The overall dates remain unchanged because broader experience coverage, supporting clarity and consequential creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates and reasons remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.

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. F2.29 records the patient scene completed at 17:59, ahead of the revised 18:50 target. The opening rewrite began at 18:01. It addresses a specific remaining weakness: the existing opening explains a part's station use without showing its useful personal combination. The relay setup already fits the current design; the assignment also corrects an unsupported enemy entrance and temporary-shutter wording. The owner can react to the existing horde, home and opening examples while this work continues. The overall dates remain unchanged because broader experience coverage, supporting clarity and consequential creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates and reasons remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.
