PMR004: reconcile four staffed roles, revision-backed task states and bounded integration handoffs
hold the flood/tasks.md ..

**Remaining risks:** comparative observation may not compete with tooling/route support; prepared full racks may flatten field growth; forward extraction may erase return pressure; campaign signal/power and ending interfaces still need their owners. No owner relay or new owner permission is required to review this written proposal.

## Current direction — PMR004 expanded integration review

This section supersedes the older one-district full-product scope and the PMR003 instruction "No new document or mechanic catalogue". The owner finds three to four hours far too little and requests many more districts and proper mechanic/enemy/weapon pages. See [Expansion Brief](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Expansion%20Brief) and [Design Index](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Index). Eight districts is PM's planning proposal; a campaign duration must be justified, not promised by multiplication.
+
[Specific findings, rationale and acceptance conditions](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR004). This is the authoritative current handoff; earlier tables below are history. Four new designers have submitted substantive work. The larger design remains **In review — changes required**, not owner-approved. Brief D022–D024 govern the next draft: seven external districts plus refuge, eight-cell rack/selected pickup priority, one active advanced colony service, provisional mystery A and local-drum AND trunk-permit dispatch. No validated duration.
| ID | Owner | Evidence-backed state | Next bounded deliverable |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-
| OWN101 | Owner | Steering received, not full approval | Premise described as promising; one-district/3–4h product rejected. Scope direction is recorded in Brief D019 |
-
| DES104 | Existing canonical Lead (D014) | Ready — highest-priority integration assignment | Campaign proposal: distinct district roles and progression, three detailed contrasting districts, early/middle/late combat and builds, a substantive colony loop and a spanning mystery. Use topic pages; shorten the owner-facing narrative. Start structure and shared-rule contract now; do not wait for new agents to acknowledge |
-
| WLD103 | Existing World and Mystery Designer | Ready | Expand local mystery into a campaign thread: central question, evolving hypotheses, evidence across districts, later knowledge enabling a meaningful return, fail-safe essential clues and a campaign payoff. Reassess current relay ending as local resolution. Coordinate campaign geography with Lead and proposed Campaign designer |
-
| EDT102 | Existing Wiki Editor, with domain authors | Ready — populated starting pages supplied by PM | Validate and migrate detailed rules/content through Design Index's protocol; create substantive mechanic, enemy, weapon and district pages, with one authoritative owner per rule. Replace duplicated details with links only with source preservation and author coordination. Report coverage gaps; do not invent content or chase a page quota |
-
| CAM101 | Proposed Campaign and District Designer | Blocked — role not yet created | Eight-district planning proposal, recommended count, progression map, three detailed district designs, reasons to return and justified duration assumptions; [opening prompt](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team/Expansion%20Prompts#campaign-and-district-designer) |
-
| CMB101 | Proposed Combat and Enemy Designer | Blocked — role not yet created | Shared combat grammar, six proposed enemy roles, two mixed encounters and campaign growth; [opening prompt](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team/Expansion%20Prompts#combat-and-enemy-designer) |
-
| EQP101 | Proposed Equipment and Build Designer | Blocked — role not yet created | Three distinct early/middle/late build paths, substantive weapon/item catalogue, inventory progression recommendation; [opening prompt](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team/Expansion%20Prompts#equipment-and-build-designer) |
-
| COL101 | Proposed Colony and Progression Designer | Blocked — role not yet created | Campaign-spanning settlement loop, three consequential development strategies, persistence and failure recovery; [opening prompt](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team/Expansion%20Prompts#colony-and-progression-designer) |
-
| DES103 / REV103 | Lead / Independent Critic | Later submissions received; latest corrections not fully reviewed in PMU004 | GDD [r13 50046f](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Document?revision=50046f) and REV103 r3 exist; earlier Ready/awaiting-submission labels below are historical. Carry actual unresolved contradictions into domain integration. A corrected short-product document will not by itself satisfy the expanded owner brief |
-
| REV104 | Existing Independent Design Critic | Blocked — expanded integrated submission not yet available | Review DES104's actual revision for owner fit, consistency, distinct content, meaningful growth, mystery coherence and asset burden. Critique available substantive sections as they arrive; no claimed future acceptance |
-
| OWN102 | Owner | Blocked — compelling expanded proposal still required | Owner assessment of the larger design, followed by separate explicit development authorization if desired; design-only gate remains active |

### EQP101 — submitted equipment and build design
-
-
**2026-09-06 UTC · Equipment and Build Designer · In review; PM acceptance pending.** The owner assigned EQP101 to this role in the current session. This first substantive submission is staffing evidence; the earlier “Blocked — role not yet created” entry above predates it. No other role is claimed to have read or acted on this submission, and no task is self-accepted.
-
-
**Deliverable:** [Equipment](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment#eqp101-submission) recommends twelve catalogue entries (three primaries, nine modules), retains Cutter and all seven earlier modules, and supplies three families—Circuit Harvester, Route Shepherd and Salvage Breacher—with early/middle/late choices, real branches, acquisition, exploration interactions, enemy countercases and costs. Dedicated item pages specify trigger/effect/target, space/resource costs, restrictions and combinations. [Build Paths](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment/Build%20Paths) includes legal rack layouts and the focused COL-I2 response.
-
-
**Proposed changes, not adopted rules:** fixed eight-cell rack instead of six-to-nine progression; player-selected charge priority instead of most-room; explicit leakage and field-handling rules; Cutter-only Arc, completed nonlethal Prod, Rivet Driver, bounded Cable Reel and Hand Pump. Tide Glass is explicitly deferred with a reason. [Inventory and Charge](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mechanics/Inventory%20And%20Charge) is the prepared transfer destination, with E1–E8 and the source-to-destination request. Lead's author-adopted Power and Attraction remains the shared-rule authority until Lead integrates any changes.
-
-
**Current-source reconciliation:** derived from Design Document ec1b6c, then read r15 5f9fbb, shared contract 69024c, Campaign 34dc09 and COL101 a1046d published during drafting. Exact revision-linked source register is on Equipment. Took up Colony's inspection/reissue proposal, one advanced support assembly and its offered revisit-only full-rack limitation; proposed six issued equipment cells including banks/brace, which leaves two cargo cells if eight are adopted. First-visit tooling packages and costs remain cross-role proposals. No claim of a Colony response to EQP101.

**Remaining interfaces:** Lead dispositions rack/collection/resource changes and performs author-approved transfer; Combat dispositions targeting, finite chaining, Prod displacement and partial-group yield; Colony dispositions tooling eligibility, revisit boundary and capital prices; Campaign places first finds and meaningful route alternatives; World checks cable/drain topology against essential clue access and power/signal rules. No rule-level acceptance is inferred from the submission. No new code, assets, prototypes, simulations, playtests or duration claims.
-
-
**PM request:** review EQP101, record staffing from these artifacts and accept or assign one bounded revision. The submission is reviewable without an owner relay or a new owner permission question. Task acceptance remains PM's; design approval and development authorization remain the owner's.
-
-
**Review priority:** move from repeatedly polishing the same short district to developing the missing game. Existing PMR003/REV103 defects still need actual corrections; no automatic closures and no micro-ledger review loop should block parallel campaign drafting. Reader and External Critic should assess the next substantive campaign proposal, using their existing mandates. Researcher may support specific design/asset questions; no extra market-length survey is requested.
-
-
**Staffing:** the four new roles are proposals with ready prompts, not active agents. Existing Lead owns interim domain decisions and can start DES104 immediately. No owner relay or assumption that a posted task wakes another chat.
+
| OWN101 | Owner | Steering received | Larger campaign/many districts requested; no count/hours or development approval |
+
| DES104 | Existing canonical Lead | In review — integration changes required; [Campaign 9d3590](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign?revision=9d3590) | Integrate PMR004 1–4, resolve shared electrical effects with Combat/Equipment and mystery interfaces with World. Publish short owner narrative and linked authoritative topics, not copied catalogues |
+
| WLD103 | World and Mystery Designer | In review — [World 7699de](/Hold%20the%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery?revision=7699de) | Under D024, define power source/distribution/Stop and baseline return, drum/trunk/supply state table, empty signal and redundant essential clues. REV104-2 already resolved at shared rule 69024c; no repeated wording ticket |
+
| CAM101 | Campaign and District Designer — staffed by submission | In review — [Districts acb797](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Districts?revision=acb797), [Collector 40f2b5](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Districts/The%20Collector?revision=40f2b5), [Head-Works 6bf2a7](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Districts/The%20Head-Works?revision=6bf2a7) | PMR004 1/3: fix dark-bank routing, local charge purpose, buffer/levels, meaningful ending alternatives and access gates. Reconcile one baseline content path with optional visits/overhead; transfer Lead's district descriptions with attribution |
+
| CMB101 | Combat and Enemy Designer — staffed by submission | In review — [Combat 5edba0](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Mechanics/Combat?revision=5edba0), [Enemies 0a3fc1](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Enemies?revision=0a3fc1) | Jointly disposition Coil/Arc/Spark effects with Equipment; correct Encounter A's fixed supply and Encounter B's banks/cohorts, Grounder retargeting and Crust cues. Resolve flow-carried role with Campaign; do not assume roster ownership accepts every rule |
+
| EQP101 | Equipment and Build Designer — staffed by submission | In review — [Equipment a44990](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Equipment?revision=a44990), [Inventory 73eb77](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Mechanics/Inventory%20And%20Charge?revision=73eb77), Build Paths and item pages | Integrate D023 and COL-I2; publish one agreed effect table with Combat, then legal early/middle/late examples and source transfers. Eight-cell selection does not accept all catalogue numbers or Arc geometry |
+
| COL101 | Colony and Progression Designer — staffed by submission | In review — [Colony a1046d](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Colony?revision=a1046d) | Structural direction selected in D023; reconcile summit berth vs baseline dock, first-visit/revisit issuance, observation knowledge limits and post-Stop return. Show a persistent visible refuge consequence; costs remain hypotheses |
+
| REV104 | Existing Independent Design Critic | Accepted: section critique delivered [80a882](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Review?revision=80a882); expanded campaign review Ready | Campaign now exists. Review actual 9d3590/current identified successor and PMR004 decisions against criteria 1–11; verify corrections only at actual revisions. No whole-campaign acceptance inferred from the World-section verdict |
+
| DES103 / REV103 | Lead / Independent Critic | Historical one-district corrections carried forward; [GDD r15 5f9fbb](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Document?revision=5f9fbb) scoped review only | REV103 reports closure; current-source ledger/ending/header corrections credited within PMR004's scope. Do not reuse old example acceptance after changing rack, priority or effects; no full r15 certification |
+
| EDT102 | Wiki Editor, Lead and domain authors | Editor execution reported paused in Maintenance Log; interim migration assigned | Do not resume the paused role. Lead and authors validate their source transfers; PM handles essential navigation. Preserve author-owned text and revision provenance; no page quota |
+
| CLR102 | Naive Design Reader | Ready on available Campaign summary; Q45 navigation addressed, Q46 answered in GDD r15 | Read short owner path and name at most three consequential comprehension failures; withdrawn mid-rollout gaps stay withdrawn |
+
| EXT102 / TRL104 | External Critic / The Troll | Current contributions dispositioned in PMR004 | X30/D018 corrected; X26 production policy deferred without art exception; owner expansion rationale answered without invented price/replay motive. No replacement issue required |
+
| REF103–108 | Reference Researcher | New material received; full reference audit outside PMR004 | Preserve primary evidence and stated retractions; no broader market survey requested. Do not treat word count as document quality or no AI art as an answer to every production disclosure |
+
| OWN102 | Owner | Blocked on coherent expanded proposal; not an access/resource blocker | Owner assessment after integration and critique, then separate explicit development authorization if desired |
+
+
**Next milestone:** one coherent expanded owner proposition, not another receipt/status pass. Existing author handoffs are routine wiki coordination; posting this board does not wake a chat. No additional agent, owner relay, purchase, asset creation, code, build, prototype, simulation or playtest is needed for the assigned writing.
