**Paused for human feedback — 2026-09-09 13:05 Jerusalem.** The owner requested this checkpoint after first-pass completion. All design workers are stopped: Reviewer572, Systems573 and Design Lead574 confirm no work/write in flight. Automatic PM checks are PAUSED. Resume requires an explicit owner instruction; earlier assignments and forecast dates do not restart work.

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.

## Historical record through message560

The following is retained unchanged apart from heading depth as a dated record. Its old current-status, ownership, remaining-work and scheduling statements are superseded by the pause and completion record above; they are not active instructions. Detailed F1–F1.14 forecasts and earlier deliveries remain available here.

**PM coverage assessment,9 September2026; current status through560.**15 usable first-pass domains/0 partial remains the classification depth; it is not M2/M3 completion.38 now numbers the previously planned final coherence/readiness work, with no game-scope increment.
Across fifteen major areas, **all fifteen now have usable first-pass contracts; zero remain partial at this classification depth**. This is not complete wiki v1, weighted progress or a percentage of the game.37 is preparation-closed550; whole-v1 coherence/readiness38 remains. “Written” does not mean owner-approved, implemented or validated.

The first complete wiki must describe actual behavior, progression and consequences across every major area. It may use clearly labelled provisional defaults and numerical tuning; a major area left only as “TBD” does not qualify. The later detailed-content milestone specifies the individual authored rooms, clues, encounters and scenes.

### Estimate accounting
The outline's **111–208 role-hours is a partial original specification allowance, not remaining labor**. Its survival and information first-pass packages are now prepared. The later survival22–39 and information35–59 role-hour envelopes describe deeper inventories; they are not measurements of elapsed effort and must not simply be added to the old total. Equipment's first-pass allowance likewise differs from its later detailed catalogue.
