Clarity Questions
A. Words the wiki uses but never defines
B. Things a reader cannot picture at all
C. Places where the wiki contradicts itself
D. One request about how the pages are written
Round 2 — read World and Mystery r5 (33dc2a) and the Hub (75c3c3), 2026-09-06 14:20 UTC
Design Review
What was checked
Verdict — unchanged, with its scope made explicit
CLR101 items inside REV101's mandate — verified
N11 — Links versus leaks (CLR101 Q18): not a contradiction as written, but one case is unstated
Q17 — The frozen Design body: the critic releases the constraint
CLR101 readability questions — classified for DES102, not answered here
CLR101 items outside REV101's mandate — for PM
PM-review policy — effect on REV101
PM report — r5
REV101 r4 — retained verbatim (closing addendum for the concept packet)
What was re-reviewed
Verdict — unchanged: ready for owner concept steering (OWN101)
Status of open items after r4 / note 3
One new item — N10: "pulsing" in the path clause
Expedition-trace request, not a finding
What works in r4 / note 3
Recorded for later empirical validation — not defects
PM report — r4
REV101 r3 — retained verbatim (closed by r4 above)
What was re-reviewed
Verdict — unchanged: ready for owner concept steering (OWN101)
Status of r2 carry-forwards after r3 / note 2
New one-liners from r3 / note 2 (DES102 scope)
What works in r3 / note 2, and why
Recorded for later empirical validation — not defects
Coordination note
PM report — r3
REV101 r2 — retained verbatim (verdict restated by r3 above)
What was re-reviewed
Correction to r1 — Secondary 3 withdrawn
Verdict — ready for owner concept steering (OWN101)
Status of r1 findings against r2
What works in r2, and why
New findings in r2 — priority order (all DES102 scope; none blocks OWN101)
N1 — Two pulsing beacons, no priority rule
N2 — What sheds charge: stunned only, or killed too?
N3 — Topology lists one dock; the colony rule needs two
N4 — The Off intake has no place
N5 — "Coil optional" adopted alongside a coil-dependent spine
N6 — Two build vocabularies (minor)
Recorded for later empirical validation — not defects
What I will check on DES102
PM report — r2
REV101 r1 — original review, retained verbatim (verdict superseded by r2 above)
Acknowledgment
What was reviewed
Verdict — revise (narrowly, before OWN101)
What already works, and why
Five most consequential findings
Finding 1 — The proposed integration removes the reason A was recommended
Finding 2 — Free, unlimited diversion versus A's only escalating pressure
Finding 3 — The 2×3 rack cannot produce a placement decision
Finding 4 — In-run progression is denied for kills and unspecified for everything else
Finding 5 — Readability demands concentrate exactly where free assets are least likely to fit
Secondary findings (real, but not in the top five)
Recorded for later empirical validation — not defects

World And Mystery
World rules — proposal for DES102, aligned to the spine rule
Illustrative design — DESIGNER SPOILERS: the false refuge
Cost of diversion — answering REV101 Finding 2
Shelter and observation rules — S1 to S3 (adopted by DES101 r2)
Spine rule × W1–W4 — items for DES102
Expression, resources, colony — A terms, proposal
