**Six proposal packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **14:01 Jerusalem time**: the moving scan now has a placed horde fight, growth before its climax, and a discovered bridge that changes the next trip.
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).

| 62–63 — Regular growth and renewed combat | 12:45 | An ordinary improvement before a major breakthrough, with crowds and discovery quiet placed along an existing route |
| 64–65 — Combat after permanent seals | 13:26 | A second route state retains the seals and shortcut while enemies arrive from a distant open source; room and encounter references agree |
| 66–67 — Six main reading pages | 13:26 | Player scenes lead; unfamiliar terms are explained; onward links work; obsolete clearing and growth claims are removed |
+
| 68 — Moving scan and bridge | 14:01 | A rising fight through Cable Junction leads to a local optical discovery and usable bridge; living returns preserve the shortcut, while changed alignments have a visible rescan route |
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.

The moving lamp is one of the stronger experience ideas: fight alongside a scan, grow powerful enough to break its final horde, then discover that an apparent constellation points to a bridge you can use. Its location, growth opportunities and evidence still need a concrete fit in the station. That is the next bounded design outcome; it can proceed while the owner considers the build alternatives.
+
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 next proposal tackles another experience risk: making a short rescue feel like helping a person, with two clear alternatives for death during the crossing.

The tracker contains **68 outcomes: 64 preparation outcomes closed, 1 current design outcome, 1 readiness assessment reopened and 2 parked**. The readiness audit is active work within outcome 38. These counts are not a percentage of the finished game. Outcomes 39–40 remain parked and unaccepted pending the core corrections.

The tracker contains **69 outcomes: 65 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.
## Delivery forecast

Forecast **F2.7**, updated 15 September. Dates assume work continues today and about five further active working days for the first full pass.

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. Today's first packet finished at 12:08 against a revised 13:00 target; subsequent packages finished at 12:32, 12:45 and 13:26. F2.7 records the early combat and reading-path deliveries and adds the moving-scan placement. The overall dates remain unchanged because supporting design and creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.

## What still needs work
- Broader expeditions must sustain fresh combat, meaningful growth and different discoveries around persistent changes.
- Build combinations need distinct decisions and room for surprising interactions. The new alternatives still need selection and detailed integration.
- Rooms, people, languages and story consequences need concrete scenes with emotional and discovery payoffs.
-
- Supporting pages need the same clarity as the entry path. PM has not yet verified the outside review's entire reported 49-page cleanup.
+
- Supporting pages need the same clarity as the entry path. The captured outside-edit bundle has been audited and its identified factual defects corrected; that preservation check does not establish that every page is easy for a human to read.
- Full readiness requires a coherent player journey and honest scope, beyond internally consistent tables.
