**Nineteen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **18:55 Jerusalem time**: [four places in the hospital](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Station%20Room%20And%20Module%20Inventory#region-2-clinical-exchange-r11r20). Meeting a survivor, fighting or bypassing the ward hall, comparing treatment effects and working around the sample line now have distinct descriptions. The new Open Decisions draft arrived at 19:05 and is in its independent review; it distinguishes current proposals from unresolved choices. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.

**Twenty proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **19:23 Jerusalem time**: [Open Decisions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Open%20Decisions). It gives one current account of the remaining concerns, with concrete examples and alternatives. Real criticism remains visible; stale reference questions and the missing original shift-comparison link are repaired. The next proposal gives the astronaut two contrasting personalities through the same existing scenes. 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 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 **82 outcomes: 78 preparation outcomes closed, 1 current 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 decision-guide estimate now has moderate confidence: the draft is complete and its single independent critique is underway. Any response still needs source and preservation checks. 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. F2.34 records the decision-guide draft delivered at 19:05, moving its reviewed target from 22:00 to 20:00. The clinical pass completed at 18:55, ahead of its revised 19:30 target. Its single correction preserved discovery before rescue preparation and introduced the remembered patient through her history. The decision-guide rewrite began at 18:49 alongside that response. The clinical pass addresses rooms that explain machines more clearly than the hospital people lived in. The guide addresses stale claims about missing proposals while preserving criticisms that still apply. The pass adds no room or encounter and must preserve the current combat, rescue, evidence and persistence rules. The optional owner reaction to horde, home and opening experiences remains unanswered. 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. F2.35 records the decision guide completed at 19:23, ahead of its revised 20:00 target, and adds the astronaut comparison. That proposal addresses a gap left by more detailed machines and survivor scenes: what this person wanted before docking, what they enjoy and what could challenge their values. It uses existing events and leaves the revival mystery and pending owner choices open. 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.
