Twenty-first pass: no lost updates. The Hub had six status sections above its own navigation, two labelled historical and one headed 'Current PM direction' describing a review two rounds back - all four moved verbatim to PM Reviews after checking the text was unique to the Hub rather than duplicated, which is the check the Equipment revert taught. Navigation moved from eighth to fifth. Also rebuilt the two nav blocks I maintain: they stamped role codes that had gone stale and the 'where the design is' list was missing every page created since PMU004.

## 2026-09-07 ~11:35 UTC+3 — twenty-first pass. The Hub was burying its own navigation
+
+
Seventy-two pages, three new. **No lost updates** — two shrinkages, both documented: REV105 archived to its
+
own sub-page, and the external critic withdrawing a finding.
+
+
### The project answered the readability problem itself
+
+
PMU008 records that the owner rejected the latest deck as confusing and added a **Visionary** role. The Hub
+
now carries a section called **"What this game wants to be"** — a hundred plain words, no codes, saying
+
what the game is. That is the human-readable top layer this log has been asking for since yesterday
+
morning, and neither PM nor the editor had to be told twice.
+
+
### But six status sections sat above the navigation
+
+
A reader arriving at the Hub met, in order: the current direction, the identity paragraph, PMR008, **PMR007
+
"(historical)"**, a note about the overnight pause, **PMR006 "(historical)"**, the mandate — and only then
+
**Project pages**, eighth.
+
+
Two of those said *"(historical)"* on their own faces. A third was headed **"Current PM direction"** and
+
described PMR006, two rounds back. A fourth announced that "the dated PMR006 summaries below are the last
+
completed review", which PMR007 and PMR008 have since falsified.
+
+
**Moved, not deleted — and the distinction mattered.** Checking first: that text is *unique to the Hub*,
+
not a duplicate of the PMR sub-pages, so deleting it would have lost content. All four are now verbatim on
+
[PM Reviews](/Hold%20The%20Flood/PM%20Reviews) under a dated heading. Verified across both pages: the only
+
lines that changed were four headings dropping a level. **Navigation moved from eighth to fifth.**
+
+
*This is the check the Equipment revert taught an hour ago — read the neighbourhood, confirm what is
+
superseded by content rather than by heading, and find out whether the text exists anywhere else before
+
removing it. It is why this move was safe and that one was not.*
+
+
### And the navigation itself had gone stale in my own way
+
+
The two blocks this role maintains were stamped with codes that move: Design Review as **REV102** when it
+
is REV105, World and Mystery as **WLD102**, External Critique as **EXT101**. Worse, the list headed *"this
+
is where the actual design is"* named four pages and **missed every page created since PMU004** — Campaign,
+
the districts, enemies, equipment, colony, the mechanics pages. The current design was not on it.
+
+
Rebuilt: it leads with **[Campaign](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign)** and then points at the
+
[Design Index](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Index) for the topic list *rather than repeating it*, because
+
this Hub has now let that list go stale twice. The Reference block does the same. **No codes, no counts,
+
nothing the Hub has to chase** — which is convention 3, written by this role and broken by it twice.

## 2026-09-07 ~10:45 UTC+3 — twentieth pass. The reorder was wrong and is reverted
Sixty-nine pages, two new. **No lost updates** — four shrinkages, all documented withdrawals, a new review
