| WLD102 | Routing/mystery integration | World and Mystery Designer | Ready: revision requested | [r13 a8a3f4](/Hold%20the%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery?revision=a8a3f4) reviewed; PMR002 1 and 3 require scene and final-mystery corrections |
+
| DES102 | Integrated game design document draft | Canonical Lead (D014) | Superseded: revision base | First draft delivered; its rule/ending corrections continue in DES103. Supersession is not acceptance of coherence or phase approval |

| CLR101 | First-reader clarity questions | Naive Design Reader; authors answer | In review | Through [84fbe2](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions?revision=84fbe2); Q28 ruled in D016, Q37 title ruled in D017/propagation due, Q36 assigned in PMR002 |
-
| DES103 | Revised owner-facing design document | Canonical Lead | Ready | Revise current draft against PMR002 1–5 and criteria 1–11; submit one recommended survivorlike with coherent examples and a complete finale |
-
| REV103 | Independent review of revised owner document | Independent Design Critic | Blocked | Requires actual revised DES103; review exact revision against PMR002 and criteria 1–11 |
+
| REV102 | Independent integrated-document critique | Independent Design Critic | Accepted: review delivered | [r5 e2db8b](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Review?revision=e2db8b) reviews GDD r7 and now requests revision. Arc finding carried into PMR002; earlier ready verdict declined; next critique is REV103 |
| OWN102 | Design verdict and possible development authorization | Owner | Blocked | Requires reviewed document; explicit owner authorization still required before development |
**Current verdict:** [PMR002 findings and handoffs](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR002). Reviewed DES102 r6 12779d, WLD102 r13 a8a3f4 and REV102 r3 382607. A complete first draft exists; PM declines the critic's ready-for-owner recommendation. Keep The Borrowed Route and revise the existing document. D013 is confirmed, the title is a working title, and all five owner-added contributors are recorded. No owner relay, asset spending or development authorization is needed for these writing tasks.
+
**Closing verdict:** [PMR002 findings and dispositions](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR002), updated for **DES103 r2 / GDD r8 d37cbf**, World r14 e2d4b4 and REV102 r5 e2db8b. The newer draft includes the arc, one product recommendation, corrected capacity/break-even wording and removal of unsupported minimum-length claims. Those fixes are credited. The signature experiment, legal inventory/charge examples, arc loadout/use, and final mystery/ending consequences still require revision. Reference's achievement-based inferences remain unsupported. Review remains design only.
-
| Owner / task | Next bounded result | Evidence needed for handoff |
+
**Provisional primary audience:** crowd-survival players who want discoveries to change how they fight and travel. Exploration-mystery players are a possible secondary audience. Retain the arc as the current proposal and show its actual choices/costs; do not infer genre fit merely from including it. No mandatory second comparison set, price, second district or owner genre re-selection follows.
+
+
| Owner / task | Current evidence and next bounded result | Handoff gate |
| --- | --- | --- |
-
| Lead / DES103, Ready | Correct PMR002 1–2: signature experiment, target-selection precedence, legal rack and charge ledgers; integrate a recommended survivorlike combat/progression proposal. Complete the owner proposition with World's finale and corrected reference claims | Exact revised GDD; written before/after states obey one rule; acquired items, slots, leaks, capacity and burst policy reconcile; concrete early/middle/late choices |
-
| World / WLD102, Ready for revision | PMR002 1 and 3: verify scene targets and junction lamp role; complete tier-three clue/inference/action and each ending's dispatch, retreat and colony consequence | One complete final mystery chain and a check against the exact GDD revision; retain independent design opinion |
-
| Critic / REV103, Blocked on revised DES103 | Re-read the actual integrated revision against PMR002 1–4 and criteria 1–11, including unchanged surrounding examples | Revision-specific present-tense verdict and evidence; no pre-approval. REV102 was delivered, but its ready verdict was declined |
-
| Researcher / REF103, Ready | PMR002 4: correct playtime-versus-completion comparison and achievement nesting/retention/denominator claims; also distinguish tag counts from traffic | Preserve raw sources, correct unsupported inference, state unknowns; no expanded survey required |
-
| Reader / CLR102, Ready when revised summary exists | Paraphrase what the player does and why they return; check the early payoff requested in Q36 | At most three consequential comprehension gaps; do not carry unsupported achievement conclusions into owner text |
-
| External Critic / EXT102, Ready | Evaluate one combined audience/value proposition; audit X21–22's own capacity, leak and arc assumptions | Strongest contrary case and smallest useful correction, with sourced fact separated from conditional arithmetic and preference |
-
| The Troll / TRL102, Ready | Challenge one consequential PM/product assumption, including the recommendation in PMR002 | Reasons and what would change the verdict; silence and edit counts are not verdicts |
-
| Editor / EDT101, Ready | PMR002 5: current title/team/routing labels, glossary cable duplication and junction-circuit definition; reflect current question dispositions | Preserve author text/history; Q28 ruled in D016, Q37 title ruled in D017 with propagation due, Q36 remains a useful design question |
-
-
PMR002 is the current handoff. PMU002 and PMR001 below remain dated records; do not execute an earlier conflicting sequence or treat unchanged status notes as new work. Read-only existing-asset suitability inspection can precede any custom-art request; the free Kenney candidate and its limits are linked in PMR002. No asset creation is authorized.
+
| Lead / DES103, In review — changes required | [r8 d37cbf](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Document?revision=d37cbf). PMR002 1–3: fix the nearest-beacon signature/failed scene; show legal racks, leaks, pickups and charge; draw and use the arc under the one-link-per-battery rule; integrate the final mystery | Revised GDD with written state/resource examples and a complete finale. Remove stale PM-pending labels and add Q39's battery definition; do not redo already credited fixes |
+
| World / WLD102, Ready for revision | [r14 e2d4b4](/Hold%20the%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery?revision=e2d4b4). Title/routing labels fixed and independent preference recorded. Complete PMR002 1/3: target states, junction lamp role, tier-three clue and endings | One complete clue/inference/action chain; dispatch, retreat and colony outcomes for each ending; check exact GDD revision |
+
| Critic / REV103, Blocked on the revision addressing PMR002 | [REV102 r5 e2db8b](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Review?revision=e2db8b) received; its arc loadout/link/scene/cue finding is accepted. Next review is REV103; retain old IDs/history | Review exact resulting GDD against PMR002 1–4 and criteria 1–11. Include quantity/resource checks and unchanged surrounding examples. Present-tense verdict, no advance owner-packet approval |
+
| Researcher / REF103, In review — further correction required | [Audit 722cb8](/Reference/Length%20And%20Price%20Audit?revision=722cb8) and [REF102 r4 b0250e](/Reference/Survivorlike%20Market%20Data?revision=b0250e) received. Original playtime/price corrections credited; new completion data not independently reproduced by PM | PMR002 4: correct achievement nesting/retention/denominator conclusions, completion-comparability headline and systematic-sample overclaim. Propagate to GDD/reader. No expanded survey |
+
| Reader / CLR102, In review — contribution received | [Round 10 / 37ad97](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions?revision=37ad97). Q28/Q37 closed; Q36 has early-payoff answer; Q38 fixed. Q39 is a small valid glossary correction | Check the next revised owner summary for at most three consequential gaps; do not translate global achievement percentages into predicted finishers or satisfaction |
+
| External Critic / EXT102, In review — product case received, one proof rejected | [Product case 3148bb](/Hold%20the%20Flood/External%20Critique?revision=3148bb), [r2 d3b19b](/Hold%20the%20Flood/External%20Critique?revision=d3b19b). Audience narrowed above; X23 accepted; X24's universal three-drip claim refuted by the legal vertical-coil rack in PMR002 | Correct the proof while retaining the useful depletion concern. Lead owns correct numbers; Independent Critic checks them in REV103. A second contextual price table is not required for the pitch |
+
| The Troll / TRL102, Accepted: challenge resolved | [r7 / 972514](/Disagreement%20Register?revision=972514) withdraws its challenge after the lead recommended one game. TRL103 is answered in PMR002: World r14 already states its preference | No replacement process challenge required. New substantive arguments remain welcome; no repeat roll call |
+
| Editor / EDT101, In progress: updates verified | [Glossary ed1bfe](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Glossary?revision=ed1bfe), [Maintenance 78f776](/Wiki%20Maintenance%20Log?revision=78f776). Cable names and question summary improved; preserve these | Update remaining junction-circuit definition and live labels/source links as authors revise; preserve history. Do not re-open Q28/Q37 or cable duplication |
+
+
**Advocacy is allowed:** a new reasoned design preference may be posted on its author's wiki page without waiting for another revision or PM invitation. A baseline does not forbid disagreement. Repeating unchanged arguments or status lists is what the volume rule discourages; there is no one-post-per-role quota.
+
+
PMR002 is the current handoff. PMU002 and PMR001 below are dated records. Ready/Blocked states do not imply a chat has resumed. Read-only existing-asset suitability inspection can precede any custom-art request; the free Kenney candidate and its limits are linked in PMR002. No purchase, new agent, owner relay, game asset or development approval is needed for the writing handoff.
