**Fifteen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **16:46 Jerusalem time**: the enemy guide explains each creature through the pressure it creates and the choices available to the player. The Receiver Vault expedition is also ready to read. A [two-trip upgrade proposal](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Upgrade%20Choices) was submitted at **17:03** and is under independent review. It uses the same equipment with different earned upgrades, including a useful hybrid. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.

**Sixteen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **17:18 Jerusalem time**: [two trips with the same equipment and different earned upgrades](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Upgrade%20Choices), including a useful hybrid and a reach-versus-contacts trade. Systems has started a scene about recognizing one former patient within an existing horde and bringing that knowledge home. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.
Start with [The Game](/Hold%20The%20Flood/The%20Game), continue through [three expeditions into the observation ward](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal), then [Coming Home](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home) and [Discovery in a Changing Station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station). For combat, follow [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds) into [Three Ways to Break a Horde](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison).

Each package received one focused critique, one response and PM checks. These are completed design proposals, not tested gameplay. The new Ricochet and Gravity controls remain proposed alternatives to the current detailed equipment rules. The two renewed-route examples do not yet cover every shifted layout or combination of permanent seals.

Read the scene in [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds), with placement in [Moving Scan Expedition](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Moving%20Scan%20Expedition). Its added rail, viewing bay, bridge and receiver make a fourteenth proposed major mechanism; physical fit and fun remain untested. The new Receiver Vault proposal tackles a different risk: a later expedition must deliver growing power and a horde climax before its quiet discovery. It uses the existing vault rooms, enemies and machinery; the new reward opportunity remains a proposal. Earlier rescue and station-completion comparisons are ready for owner reaction.

The tracker contains **78 outcomes: 74 preparation outcomes closed, 1 current design outcome, 1 readiness assessment reopened and 2 parked**. The completed preservation audit and its corrections belong within outcome 38; they do not close overall readiness. These counts are not a percentage of the finished game. Outcomes 39–40 remain parked and unaccepted pending the core corrections.

The original Claude Reviewer received the earlier assignment automatically but stopped at a monthly spend limit at 13:03. Temporary GPT support completed that review. The Lead was absent from the same directory check; availability will be checked again before a future handoff. No new permanent agent or manual message forwarding is needed for the current assignments.

The new upgrade-choice estimate has moderate-to-low confidence because compatibility may expose a mechanical limitation. Other near-term estimates have moderate confidence. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence. The campaign date has very low confidence and remains a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate. None promises development, validated fun or the desired number of playable hours; those require a separately authorized phase.

The pre-pause targets were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's core-loop findings moved those dates. F2.26 records the upgrade proposal submitted at 17:03, ahead of its original 18:30 draft target. Its independent review is working, so the reviewed target moves from 19:45 to 18:00, allowing a critique, one response and integration. The proposal addresses repeated upgrade choices, where the earlier examples mostly followed fixed paths. The overall dates remain unchanged because broader experience coverage, supporting clarity and consequential creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates and reasons remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.

The pre-pause targets were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's core-loop findings moved those dates. F2.27 records the upgrade comparison completed at 17:18 after one critique and response, ahead of its revised 18:00 target. The next assignment began at 17:21 and addresses the human meaning of an existing horde encounter. Its allowance is 60–120 minutes for a draft plus review, response and integration; a record-only comparison is available if the recognition scene demands too much new state. The overall dates remain unchanged because broader experience coverage, supporting clarity and consequential creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates and reasons remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.
