**Two proposal packets are now complete: builds/expeditions at 12:08 and story/survival at 12:32 on 15 September, three outcomes in each.** Each contains two proposals, one independent critique and one response from each author. These are proposals ready for your reaction, with detailed mechanics and practical validation still ahead.

**Three proposal packages are complete today, 15 September: builds/expeditions at 12:08, story/survival at 12:32, and combat growth through the sample route at 12:45.** Each passed one independent critique, an author response and PM checks. They provide concrete experiences for your reaction; practical validation remains ahead.

The chosen expedition and growth rules are aligned in Combat Rules and ten supporting articles. The new Ricochet and Gravity mechanisms are still proposed replacements for parts of the old detailed build rules; numerical reconciliation has not been declared complete.
## Current work
-
**Combat batch: 1 of 2 outcomes complete. Its independent review is finished; the author correction and PM integration remain.**
+
**The next package has 2 outcomes in progress.** The completed route uses open enemy sources. We are now resolving what the next expedition is like after the player permanently seals all four sources on that route. The player should keep the benefit of that work and still find a worthwhile horde, growth and a discovery.

| 62 — Growth rhythm and a renewed route | Systems Designer, then PM | Draft delivered 12:22; one author correction now working after review 63 | Correction target 12:55; range 12:40–13:15. Reviewed package 14:30; range 13:30–15:30 |

| 64 — Fresh combat after every source is sealed | Systems Designer, then PM | Working; receiving activity verified at 12:51 | Draft 13:30; range 13:10–14:00 |

| 65 — Independent review of that later expedition | Temporary reviewer | Criteria saved; awaiting the draft | Critique 14:00; range 13:30–14:30. Reviewed package 15:00; range 14:00–16:00 |

This batch can continue while the owner reacts to the three build directions. It will show how regular growth feels during fighting, when a transformation lands, where fresh enemies fit around permanent closures, and how oxygen and quiet leave room for discovery.

This work can continue while the owner reacts to the three build directions. The previous package is integrated into the room, encounter and survival references for its named route configuration. The additional case must explain visible fresh enemies without silently undoing seals, closing the shortcut or refilling a cleared area during the same expedition.
The original Claude Design Lead and Reviewer were absent from the last native session-directory check earlier today. No assignment has been sent to another Claude session. PM, Systems and temporary GPT review support can complete this batch; no additional permanent agent is needed today.

Updated 15 September, forecast F2.4. Estimates assume work continues today and about five further active working days for the first full pass. The dates will change when actual delivery or remaining decisions change the work.

| Milestone | Target | Plausible range | What will be ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| First reviewed build/expedition packet | **Completed today 12:08** | Earlier than revised 13:00 target | Both proposals, critique, responses and PM checks |
| Growth and renewed-route draft | **Submitted today 12:22** | Earlier than 13:00 target | A concrete rhythm and an example using the actual station plan; critique completed 12:27 |
| Reviewed story/survival proposals | **Completed today 12:32** | Earlier than 14:00 target | Current proposals, one focused critique, one response and PM disposition |

| Reviewed growth/route packet | Today 14:30 | Today 13:30–15:30 | Proposal, one critique, one response and PM disposition |

| Reviewed growth/route packet | **Completed today 12:45** | Earlier than 14:30 target | Proposal, critique, response and checked integration into supporting pages |
+
| Reviewed expedition after all four source seals | Today 15:00 | Today 14:00–16:00 | A concrete later expedition that preserves permanent work, with critique, response and integration |
| Coherent revised design wiki | 23 September | 21–28 September | Readable core articles and supporting rules aligned with selected directions; consequential open choices explicit |
| Full detailed campaign design | 24 November | 3 November–22 December | Proposed progression, content, mysteries, ending paths and production scope developed across the campaign |
The near-term forecast has moderate confidence. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence; the detailed-campaign date has very low confidence and is a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate. Neither means the game is built, tested, balanced or proven to last the desired number of hours. Development and playtests await separate authorization.

The first packet was initially forecast for 14:15 today, advanced to 13:00 as drafts arrived, and completed at 12:08. The pre-pause estimates were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's unresolved core-loop findings require new dates. F2.3 resumed the story/survival review in parallel after reconciling current sources. F2.4 records its completion at 12:32 and the early combat draft/review; remaining delivery targets are unchanged pending the correction and integration. Earlier estimates and actual deliveries remain in this page's revision history.
