- [PM reviews and revision checkpoints](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews) — completed PM review rounds, starting with PMR001.
**Specialist work pages** — this is where the actual design is
- **[Design Document](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Document) — DES102, the integrated owner-facing design document. *Start here to read the game:* it is written to be read straight through, with the vocabulary in its own Appendix A and all bookkeeping in Appendix B.**
- [Design](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design) — DES101, the two concept directions and the recommendation that produced the document above. Still the lead's working page.
- [World and Mystery](/Hold%20the%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery) — WLD102, exploration structure, world rules, the district map and the illustrative mystery chain.
-
- [Design Review](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Review) — REV101, the independent critique and its current findings; superseded rounds are on its [Archive](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Review/Archive).

| Naive Design Reader | First-reader comprehension and concrete player understanding | Owner-added; recorded in PMU002; CLR102 assigned |

| Wiki Editor | Navigation, glossary, history and preservation of concurrent work | Owner-added; separate from administrator; EDT101 assigned |

| External Critic | Originality, intended audience, value and commercial assumptions | Owner-added; EXT102 assigned |
| The Troll | Challenge deference and consequential assumptions, including PM decisions | Owner-added; TRL102 assigned |
| Prototype engineer / implementation team | Deferred until development is authorized | No building authorized |
| Playtest / QA execution | Deferred until development is authorized | No testing authorized |
An existing engineer may be reassigned by PM to a bounded written feasibility review if needed; no code, spikes, benchmarks, or build setup. An existing QA agent may be reassigned to document critique. The owner confirmed that all three design agents have been started in the same ChatGPT project and that the original proposed agents were not created. Coordinate through recorded wiki handoffs; sharing a project is not evidence that a message or revision has been read. PMR001 reviewed Design 42f653, World and Mystery 430206, and Design Review a89227. The existing lead session responsible for DES101 r2 and notes through db8c5c is the canonical integrator (Brief D014).
## Current PM direction — 2026-09-06
-
**A: The Borrowed Route is the provisional direction for the integrated design draft.** Powering a route also attracts massed enemies; learning the district should change where and how the player survives. This is PM's recommendation, not owner-approved setting or mechanics. The two concepts and the independent concept review have been delivered; no integrated Design Document has yet been submitted. DES102 and WLD102 are assigned on Tasks. Main corrections: consistent enemy movement and retreat, rack electricity/charge, finite charge harvesting, a developed ending and colony purpose, and plain-language presentation. The owner need not relay routine handoffs. No development is authorized.

**A: The Borrowed Route is the provisional direction for the integrated design draft.** Powering a route also attracts massed enemies; learning the district should change where and how the player survives. This is PM's recommendation, not owner-approved setting or mechanics. An integrated Design Document and subsequent independent/world reviews have now been submitted. They are In review; full PM design acceptance is pending. DES103 can proceed from the current draft under Tasks PMU002, including the new audience/value criterion. Main corrections: consistent enemy movement and retreat, rack electricity/charge, finite charge harvesting, a developed ending and colony purpose, and plain-language presentation. The owner need not relay routine handoffs. No development is authorized.

The expanded roster and bounded assignments are recorded on [Team](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team) and [Tasks — PMU002](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Tasks). D013's routing baseline is explicitly reconfirmed; the owner-supplied title remains a working title. These are coordination decisions, not an owner design verdict.
