**PM coverage assessment, 8 September 2026.** This is the remaining-work map for the [whole-game outline](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Whole%20Game%20Outline), alongside the dated [Progress and forecast](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress). It is management work, not an additional completed gameplay package.

| Death, shifts and station connections | Conditional [joining mechanism](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station) | One shared rule set for death order, room/object identity, permanent joins, recovery, rescue interaction and whole-station completion | Local permanence is already selected. The final-layout answer affects the rigid candidate; identity and recovery requirements can proceed now. |

| Combat and contested work | Usable [Combat Rules](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Combat%20Rules) and [combat-state contract27](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Combat%20And%20Enemy%20Roster), prepared443 | Remaining interface/edge-case matrix for controllers, target assistance, combined attacks, oxygen actions and recovery | Shared first-pass state sheet prepared19:34 atf1fe0d9a. Target assistance, multiple ordinary controllers and field healing remain proposals; exact timing and readability are unvalidated. |

| Story, endings and corruption | Partial: existing story/corruption alternatives; [Story And Ending Map30](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Story%20And%20Ending%20Map) submitted463, review under462 | Proposed causal spine and four mystery/personal chains; evidence/action map across apparent, deeper and optional-secret layers; visible choices, human consequences, both regional orders and unique-scope ledger | Systems STOPPED after draft463 at20:30:02, sourcee902a631; one review underway under462 against unchanged pre-draft criteriab1a66b77. Draft21:15 target achieved early; reviewed22:15(21:30–23:00) remains forecast, today8Sep Jerusalem. Final canon, ending count, mortality/corruption and full-station payoff remain unselected; no owner answer is inferred. |

| Colony and home projects | Usable [Home And Colony Loop28](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Home%20And%20Colony%20Loop), preparation-closed450 at5bff3436, alongside Coming Home/Home Projects | Exact fixture/control and cue briefs, participant/facility state integration and owner-dependent management/economy branches; five final cast arcs/15scenes remain in the separate cast inventory | Closed20:01:12 Jerusalem after one focused critique/response. Living/death return, deliberate storage/sharing, refill, five optional projects and loan/reclaim are prepared, with two reused/three new projects and three new fixed ship fixtures. Counts/names/benefits remain proposed; first-survivor selection and gameplay validation remain open. |

| Save, identity and content authoring | Usable [first-pass contract](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Save%20And%20Content%20State), preparation-closed417 at438cdf35 | Complete transition/commit catalogue, placement/reference matrix and resolved conditional branches and recovery policy | First-pass identity/continuity requirements are prepared. Save policy, rescue/shift order and full-station behavior remain open; engineering/migrations remain later. |

| Development and validation handoff | Usable [first-pass plan](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Development%20And%20Validation%20Handoff), prepared410 | Final v1-specific packet with exact revisions, development scope, conditions, staffing, estimates and decision criteria | Eleven risks/gates are mapped, including sustained progression. Actual prototypes, code, simulations, assets and playtests require explicit phase authorization. |

| 8 Sep | Language29 prepared459; home-parent compatibility456 complete; Story30 submitted463 | PM and GPT review work continues; Systems STOPPED after the20:30:02 draft. One focused review underway under462 against unchanged criteria registered460; no acceptance yet. Both original Claude roles stay paused; specialist setup9–10Sep remains planned, not active. |

Shared integration outcome04’s narrow parent-equipment alignment432, legacy Discovery Chain/Expedition slice441–443 and Coming Home/Home Projects compatibility456 are complete. The legacy slice replaces stale route/journal clauses with no new access guarantee;456 aligns home parts/supply, deliberate unloading, historical routes and refill conservation, with PM STOPPED ownership of both home parents. Remaining global shift/rescue/full-station branches and other affected articles still need integration;04 stays open. A pending choice blocks only the rules that actually depend on it, not every parallel stream.

Track deliverable and depth separately: first-pass rule set, finite content inventory, and later implementation. Count a shared survivor scene/colony project/clue/region objective once, then estimate only its distinct additional work. Keep package review/response, PM cross-page integration and whole-game coherence review separate without double counting. Production24's response explicitly assigns the24module/40room/12mechanism v1 brief minimums to one20–34author-hour package, beyond objective allocation. This retains the placed-mechanism obligation rather than silently deferring it. Detailed campaign authoring extends these briefs; do not charge both full depths. See [Production Scope](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Production%20Scope) for the proposed revised144–247role-hour v1 allowance and separate review/response/integration; it is the dated8Sep planning estimate, not logged labor or an automatically current remaining balance; subtract accepted scope before recomputing the remainder.

This map is based on the current owner brief, Whole Game Outline revised through narrow alignment432 at2d6de3c0, the linked owning articles and a source-by-source PM coverage audit. The catalogue was subsequently read at submission396, received one focused review/response397/399 and was preparation-closed400 at revision737b3cfd. Outcome21 trap/encounter and22 handoff first passes were closed410;23 save/content-state closed417 at18:09:56 Jerusalem, final438cdf35. Production24 closed423 after scoped response421/422; Regional Discovery Map25 closed426 after response425 at3acda018. Its objective map leaves the domain partial pending24module/40room briefs. Acquisition26 closed434 at18:57:01, finalf5f6d768, after actual429, one focused critique431, the verified author response and PM’s paragraph-only maintenance433. Late notice436 records pre-maintenancef7ede725 rather than a rollback. PM now classifies equipment/acquisition as a usable first-pass contract, with source-fixture detail and exceptions still required. Combat And Enemy Roster27 closed443 at19:34, finalf1fe0d9a, after one focused critique and the442 response. PM now classifies the existing enemy/encounter/trap category as usable first-pass; the already usable combat category is not counted again. Exact40room/ten-encounter/twelve-mechanism inventories remain incomplete. Home And Colony Loop28 closed450 at20:01:12, final5bff3436, after one focused critique and449response. Home/colony was thereby classified usable first-pass; five final cast arcs/15scenes and exact fixture/control details remain unfinished. Two Language Discovery Map29 closed459 at20:23:52, finaldf0f48f5, after one focused critique and458response. Only the existing language/discovery category now advances, bringing the current total to11usable/4partial. Story And Ending Map30 was submitted463 at20:30:02, sourcee902a631, with pre-assignment criteriab1a66b77 registered460; one review is underway under462 and Systems STOPPED. Submission is not a prepared story contract. Narrow legacy04 Discovery114e9267/Expedition836ab2ae integration is verified443; global04 remains open. Scope estimates are reviewed planning assumptions, not validated labor or adopted content counts. The separately found Rescue Shift Proposal and Station Assembly Example remain unadopted intake407, not completed shared integration. The management checkpoint retains the exact inspected source revisions. No page count, model agreement or desk review establishes fun, balance, usability, performance or campaign duration.
