**Fourteen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **16:30 Jerusalem time**: a later expedition through the Receiver Vault, with a transformation during the horde and a discovery connecting an old hospital record to the astronaut's arrival. The enemy guide is in review. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.

**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. Work has started on two trips using the same equipment but different earned upgrades, including a useful hybrid. 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 **77 outcomes: 73 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.

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 new upgrade-choice estimate has moderate-to-low confidence because compatibility may expose a mechanical limitation. Other near-term estimates have moderate confidence.

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. F2.24 records the equipment guide completed at 16:05 and the Receiver Vault expedition at 16:30. The enemy-guide draft arrived at 16:26, ahead of its 17:15 target, so its reviewed target moves from 18:00 to 17:15. 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. F2.25 records the enemy guide completed at 16:46, ahead of its revised 17:15 target. The next proposal began at 16:47 and addresses repeated upgrade choices, where the existing examples mostly follow fixed paths. Allow 90–150 minutes for the draft and 45–90 minutes for critique, response and integration. 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.
