Combat Rules and Build Rules now have readable replacements, with scoped repairs to acquisition, mechanical interfaces, the roster and all ten encounter placements. A single combined review, author response and PM integration are complete. The revised written proposals allow massed ordinary encounters, multiple ordinary weapons, paused link editing and temporary combat upgrades that reset on every return home. Thunderhead now works as one manual special with automatic restoration of charging. Exact populations, effects and growth cadence remain proposals.

The station-space and player-information drafts are submitted and their combined review is complete. The Design Lead is making one correction to the room geometry and two living-return routes; Systems is restoring specific player cues, correcting the equipment example and improving the readable opening. PM is aligning the shared encounter rules and verifying the final changes. The current integrated-batch target is 14:00 on 10 September, with a 13:30–14:30 range; see [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress) for actual worker states and forecasts. Existing detailed samples remain parked.

The station-space and player-information batch is integrated after one combined review, one response per author and PM verification. It preserves physical crowd sources, short rescue routes, the twelve equipment parts and the five save examples. Two concrete living-return traces now expose the cost of repeatedly walking farther to fresh combat. Existing detailed samples remain parked.

The next parallel assignments address the remaining player-experience gaps. Systems will give the three builds actual broad coverage, supply, heat and control rules. The Design Lead will replace the older Expedition Proposal with three successive outings and at most two ways to keep living returns worthwhile, making any proposed travel-rule changes explicit. The Reviewer will save fresh criteria before inspecting their new drafts, then provide one combined critique. The next reviewed proposal packet is targeted for 15:30 on 10 September, with a 14:30–16:30 range; see [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress).
The main pitch and three build examples now distinguish actual equipment behavior from the further rules needed for a developed build to transform a substantial visible horde. Storm Choir needs a convincing branching payoff, Ricochet Foundry needs overlapping shots to create its dense pattern, and Gravity Furnace proposes temporary pull and thermal-burst effects. These are concrete design targets; the current conservation rules alone do not establish the promised spectacle.
