**2026-09-07.** The owner says the pitch takes “Flood” literally and misses the survivorlike genre, and rejects information-hiding songs as an execution trap likely to produce slop. PMR011's provisional recommendation does not override this feedback. Water is not required by the title; this is not a blanket water ban. Discovery-first priorities and all phase/asset gates remain.

Updated and verified Brief, Tasks and Hub: the song-led proposal is prior material requiring revision; existing agents now owe a concise survivorlike play account and two distinct build paths, including earned power and interactions beyond one authored wipe room. World/Campaign/Colony support that foundation rather than expand the rejected song chain. No lyric work is requested from the owner. Old author text and domain statuses are preserved with their review boundary; discussion is in chat.

Owner handoff posted and independently read back as project message **57**. This is a direct-owner coordination update, not a new completed artifact review. Messages 51–56 were read for context; their linked submissions are not blanket reviewed or accepted here. **Keep the last completed PM artifact-review/chat cursor at PMR011 (50)** so the next scheduled review examines those actual successors and intervening messages. No schedule, staffing, asset or development change occurred.

The owner supplied nine substantive answers. [Brief](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief#game-vision) records them as current direction: discovery before extraordinary builds; enemy manipulation as support; salvage/equipment tradeoffs; a preferred authored refuge cast and emotional purpose; 30h apparent ending / 90h total real ending / optional deepest secrets toward 100–200h total; clear immediate goals and good UX. Harvest-dependence revelation rejected for now; setting undecided. D024 is rejected, D022 superseded as complete-game scope. No new fiction, feasibility claim, agent, purchase or development approval was invented.

Brief, Tasks, Hub, Team, Campaign and World labels were updated with fresh pre-save reads and exact readback verification. The full previous Visionary contribution remains in Brief under a superseded heading, preserving its substance; its former active Hub summary was replaced by the owner's direction and a pointer to that preserved material. Author-owned specialist text and task receipts were preserved. Chat handoff was posted and verified as project message 25.

Visionary leads a replacement premise; existing roles support discovery, build expression, refuge characters and a defensible layered campaign. Old scene-polishing and service-comparison work is held pending selection of retained material. These are direction/assignment changes, not acceptance of later specialist revisions. PMR010 remains the last completed artifact-review checkpoint. **Its processed chat cursor remains 20**: intervening messages were retrieved for coordination, but their linked artifacts were not reviewed in this owner-direction turn. Next review must handle them, while recognising PM's owner-direction post as already published, not new specialist work.

No new owner question is required to start this bounded design pass. Discussions remain in chat; conclusions and current design stay on the wiki. The duration ambition needs a content plan before any claim of sufficient scope.

**Completed 2026-09-07.** Compared changed sources with PMR009 and its chat-migration checkpoint. Read Hub, Brief, Tasks, Team, index, log, chat documentation and current conventions. Discussion and specific correction requests were posted and read back in **hold-the-flood** and **wiki**; this record keeps their durable conclusions, not the transcript.

| Reviewed work | Disposition / next action |

| --- | --- |

| Campaign 93f482, §3.2/3.4; REV106 615c4d | X37 featured-route correction accepted: stairs reconnaissance is the main plan, harvest explicitly optional. Berth issue now one module plus empty bank; stay cargo and duration branches corrected. Local Exchange cadence is 3:00/7:00; reachable terminals are placed together at the head end. These specific corrections are closed, not whole-scene or game approval |

| Brief 6d869e; REV106 | Early crowd pressure is absent from the one return shown. Accept this as an illustration-coverage gap, not a reason to punish mastery. Visionary should pair a short retained early encounter with the existing earned return, define the Flood as creatures, and carry the already-assigned intervention home. Omit optional decoy-margin exposition here if it distracts; no module cut or new danger follows. Plain names need not be paired with jargon. A worthwhile combat choice still needs the Visionary's judgment |

| Exchange 17dca3 | Six-cell issue and dock-set links/priority credited; no issued conversion cargo remains. Still open: map/ground/table/failure text retain two clutches while §6 says three; use three working/fourth seized, leaving two after an interrupted swap. Mirror Lead's actual terminals instead of wet-point wording. Position the lure relative to a Carrier within its 12 m acquisition range and the bank relative to the landing/pursuit range. Explain its benefit over the same objective without planting it; do not add danger just to justify expenditure |

| Combat a33732; Enemies 2c9af4 | Same-body versus fresh-arrival distinction, durability withdrawal and removal of the no-bypass rule accepted. The yield check is useful where fuel is the claimed benefit. It does not require cutting a persistent tram obstacle merely because stairs bypass it, spending its fuel on every visit, or banning discretionary combat |

| World 43bcfe, received in chat 17 | Physical-name substitution received, acceptance withheld on a concrete regression: the map now requires the junction valve open to energise the gate, while its own tier-two scene still opens it by Coil with the valve shut. Restore direct pool power as an alternative to joined-yard power. Remove doubled phrases introduced by replacement. No new access rule or mystery task is required |

| Clarity 82676e and workflow | Editorial successor inspected; the Reader's actual vision assessment still covers Brief 0fff74, not the later return. Do not count it as another clarity pass. Critic's statement that it awaits permission to post in chat was answered: owner's project-wide channel instruction already covers routine discussion; no extra PM approval is required |

| Existing work without new evidence | Support Assembly comparison, refuge treatment, scope adequacy and asset gaps remain open. Equipment chat 16 acknowledges a change already accepted; no extra countersign or catalogue work. REF112/113 qualifications remain assigned, not re-reviewed |

**Records and cleanup:** asked the editor in wiki chat to narrow the convention claiming history itself records reads. History records saves, not which artifacts a review processed; keep compact review checkpoints here, while removing per-pass ledgers from design articles. Do not strip another author's unique contribution. Tasks updates changed only exact PM-owned rows and retained the Equipment submission receipt. Hub now reflects delivered corrections. Both were freshly read, saved and verified before this checkpoint.

Original Design and World r27 were unchanged at initial intake; World r28 arrived later and is included above. Maintenance/index discovery alone was not design progress. No external technical facts, actual player comprehension, feel, balance or enjoyment were verified. No game development, simulation, playtest, asset creation or purchase occurred.

**Chat cursor:** project messages 16 and 17 handled; PM correction messages 18 and 20 posted and read back. Last successfully processed project message ID: **20**. Wiki room message 11 read and PM reply 19 verified. Next run starts after the project cursor; later messages and revisions are not silently processed. PMR010 supersedes the older active-cursor wording below.

**Verification:** Hold the Flood/Tasks SHA-256 `33a15d014655474c726f6deadd59dd3606083957339cd139354ef6fd67baed41`; Hold the Flood SHA-256 `8154a4de6946ca193440026a0c0d68c8cc88c25e1cc795f454a62d32e93ff586`.

No new owner decision or resource is needed for this bounded correction pass; no owner notification is warranted solely for these routine revisions.

**Completed 2026-09-07.** [Review, exact revisions and content hashes](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR009). Compared actual source changes with PMR008 and included the late Brief 6d869e, Equipment 122d38, Build Paths f6f8ef and Clarity 5e56f8 revisions. Reviewed Hub, Brief, Tasks, Team, index, log and feed; feed timestamps/order were not used as proof of recency. The source table matches immutable Markdown to captured content, with section limits stated in the report.

**Disposition:** concrete Visionary return received and accepted as a contribution; next focus is its visible refuge consequence. Siphon adjacency removal and Equipment's countersign accepted. Campaign/REV105 timeline corrections credited; X37 accepted narrowly because the middle-Tram fight buys no stated benefit over existing stairs. PM withdraws the requirement that all builds be proved by those same three visits. Berth-supported issue still illegally includes a second module; omit Kit or establish a field offer. Support Assembly contest accepted for same-state comparison, rival not adopted. Exchange uses its local 3:00/7:00 cadence; terminal geometry and prior bounded corrections remain. Combat qualifications accepted, role/area keep tables not blanket passes. Reader's concrete-example question now has a submission to assess; scheduling blocker resolved and independently verified. REF112 unchanged correction remains; REF113 read as unverified analogy with a claim-scope qualification.

**Processed scope:** report table identifies changed artifacts and inherited limits. No assertion of external research verification, fresh-human comprehension, tested feel or sufficient release scope. Later source successors are unprocessed unless explicitly included above. Do not treat PM status writes or unchanged open findings as new specialist progress.

**Verified writes:** report, Tasks and Hub were freshly read before saving and exactly matched on readback before this checkpoint. Only the previously inspected PM-owned evidence block and PM-owned priority rows were replaced; author receipts and late schedule resolution were preserved. Prior PMR008 wording remains in history and its report. PM output hashes:

The owner can review the clearer vision; no phase, asset or additional-agent approval is required for the next bounded design pass. No automation was created or changed by PM; no development or game-asset work occurred.

**2026-09-07 · Coordination update, not an artifact-review checkpoint.** The owner reported creating The Visionary and supplied its mandate to establish a clear identity, challenge any agent and change/remove incompatible mechanics. PM read current Team, Brief, Tasks, Hub and PM Reviews plus index/log and recorded the role and first milestone on existing coordination pages. During the handoff the Visionary published its Game vision section on Brief; the Brief readback mismatch was inspected, its contribution preserved, and the handoff revised to acknowledge receipt and request the next concrete example rather than duplicate its first synthesis. The owner’s criticism of the pitch and PM’s responsibility are explicitly recorded.

The next priority is a short understandable vision and concrete player experience, with a reasoned keep/change/remove assessment; domain expansion and another pitch wait for that direction. The Lead retains integration responsibility. This does not revoke the Visionary's granted design-edit authority, infer that its schedule runs, or authorize development/assets. No routine message was sent outside the wiki.

**PMR007 remains the last completed artifact-review checkpoint.** The interrupted PMR008 drafts were not published and confer no acceptance; later submissions still require revision-specific review. This update does not mark those submissions processed or repeat their stale task findings.

Fresh reads immediately before each save and readbacks verified these coordination outputs. Existing contributions were preserved; only PM's own handoff text was revised, and Brief's Game vision remains ahead of PM's coordination text:

- [Hold the Flood/Team](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team): `e921373b5a942474bfd9ca2c5a9f29c144d94bd04b8d8f270ae059646d29b14d`

**2026-09-07.** The owner accepted PM's recommendation to prioritize depth of repeated play and explicitly said “resume.” PM enabled the existing hourly PM automation, verified direct wiki access, read current Hub/Brief/Tasks/PM Reviews and Wiki Conventions, and published the bounded DES105/EQP102/CMB102/WLD104/COL102/CAM103/REV105 handoff on Tasks with a Hub link. Each destination was freshly read before an insertion-only save and fetched afterward to verify exact intended text. Existing authored contributions were retained.

This is a coordination update, **not a completed artifact review**. PMR006 remains the processed-review checkpoint. The pre-pause intake in the PM conversation was interrupted without review writes; its Campaign/contract/Equipment/Colony/Exchange/critic observations and later submissions still need actual revision-specific review. Do not treat this note or unchanged PM writes as new specialist progress or advance their acceptance status.

The owner approved resuming design, not the proposed game, scope, assets or development. No other agent's execution or scheduler is inferred from publishing assignments. Next PM review: inspect current revisions, resolve remaining integration defects, and assess the repeated-expedition design evidence rather than issuing a new count quota.

Completed 2026-09-06. [Findings and dispositions](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR005). Compared actual source snapshots to PMR004's scoped review plus PMU005's verified repair baseline. Hub, Brief, Tasks and Team were unchanged on intake; index/log/feed revealed changed combat/role pages and reported editor resumption. Read actual changes, Walker and relevant surrounding rules; confirmed the revisions below by exact immutable-source equality, not feed order or timestamps. Current Campaign, World, Equipment, Colony and Independent Review sources were unchanged; no new acceptance of those artifacts is inferred.

**Disposition:** CMB101 remains In review — changes required. Walker naming accepted for coordination; eight-role merge/Carrier boundary require integration, Heavy's vague-wording request declined, R3 live copies conflict, existing PMR004 encounter/effect findings remain open. Further specification must use D023/current EQP101. Editor reports resumed; no schedule or authorization changed by PM. The no-inspection claim is assigned a factual correction using PMU005. No owner-facing creative milestone or action needed.

**Next useful work:** actual joint Combat/Equipment/Lead integration and the independent campaign review already assigned. Do not repeat unchanged findings or infer that a posted assignment wakes a chat. PMR004 remains the broader campaign review; this focused checkpoint supplements its processed snapshots rather than certifying unrelated material. Design-only and all owner asset rules remain active.

Completed 2026-09-06. [Report and dispositions](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR004). Compared actual current content and immutable revision equality against PMR003's processed snapshots and PMU004's coordination baseline, using index, log and Atom feed without assuming timestamp or feed order. Read current Hub, Brief, Tasks and Team; new campaign/domain submissions, World expansion, independent section review and relevant critique/navigation updates. **This is an integration-focused review, not full certification of the legacy GDD or new external research.**

**Verdict:** four new designer roles evidenced by substantive submissions; expanded campaign in review, changes required. D022–D024 select seven external districts plus refuge, eight-cell rack/selected priority, one active advanced colony service and mystery A for the next draft. Shared power/dispatch, conflicting electrical effects, invalid encounter states and district consequences have bounded assignments. REV104-2 is resolved at 69024c; remaining campaign findings and current PM corrections are open. No validated hours, owner design approval or development authorization.

Fingerprints are SHA-256 of UTF-8 raw Markdown, final metadata trailer removed and trailing whitespace trimmed. Exact immutable-source equality was checked for the following revisions. Do not repeat these findings because a timestamp or feed position differs; compare actual content. Unchanged status reports are not new work.

**Received / limited-scope only:** Clarity latest Q45–47 and withdrawals, Maintenance pause/current navigation issues, Reference current headers and targeted qualifications. No full new audit of REF103–108 or outside sources occurred. In particular REF106 Readable State, REF107 Content Scale and REF108 Drainage Engineering remain available for a future decision-linked review; their presence does not establish verified production facts. Older GDD material outside the named delta and unread individual page details are not marked fully processed. Revisit only material that affects a current decision, with actual content comparison, not a repeated receipt pass.

Each target was freshly read, the intended edit merged while preserving other contributions, saved with a descriptive commit and fetched again to verify exact intended Markdown. This checkpoint was composed only after all writes below succeeded. Their own changes are the PM baseline, not new specialist submissions.

**Next review:** compare against these exact scoped snapshots; read actual author responses/integration rather than reissuing unchanged findings. The next owner milestone is a coherent, concise expanded proposal and revision-specific critique. Design only; no game code, build, prototype, implementation, simulation, playtest, game-asset creation, purchase or agent creation occurred.

Completed: 2026-09-06 16:08 UTC. Compared actual source hashes with PMR002's processed snapshots and its verified coordination baseline. Read current Hub, Brief, Tasks and Team (unchanged on intake); index, log and feed; changed Design Document, World, Independent Review, External Critique, Clarity, Register, Reference/audit pages and maintenance notes. Discovered and read REF104 Asset Licences from the index/feed. Design 211106 and Glossary ed1bfe were unchanged; do not count them or PM's own control-page edits as new work. Exact source equality to each revision below was checked; feed order and timestamps were not treated as proof of revision identity.

**Verdict:** [PMR003 findings and dispositions](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR003). GDD r10 and World r16 substantially address PMR002: main target rule, arc loadouts/use/fuel, finale consequences, length assumptions and Q39/Q40. Revisions still required on resource ledgers, surge/stun/burst timing and the final valve/supply explanation. X25's retained false sentence is confirmed. The independently authored REV102 r6 only reviews r8 and withdraws earlier ready verdicts; it is not REV103 on r10. **REV103 is now Ready**, since the requested revised document exists. No agent is assumed to have read the assignment or started from the status change.

**Other dispositions:** EXT102's retraction and X25 accepted as a delivered contribution. Reference's achievement/price-inference corrections credited; older audit qualifications still require propagation. REF104 received but not accepted as legal guidance or asset approval; the no-AI-art-to-no-disclosure inference was rejected without making a platform submission decision. The Troll's C4 correction/closure acknowledged; no replacement challenge assigned. The owner asked for a simple pitch during this review; explaining the current design does not approve it or open development.

**Writes completed before checkpoint:** report, Tasks, Hub and Reference each re-read immediately before saving, saved with descriptive summaries and verified by reading back the intended Markdown. Current Tasks replaces its old PMR002 handoff section with PMR003 while preserving prior findings on the linked review and history. Specialist author text was preserved. No code for the game, build, prototype, simulation, playtest, production asset, purchase or new agent was created. Unity/Steam, design-only phase and all owner asset restrictions remain in force.

Inspect actual changes after the snapshots above: prioritize the next GDD and World corrections, and the actual REV103 verdict. Do not inherit conclusions onto unread later revisions or turn Ready into assumed execution. Preserve already-credited fixes; no repeat requests for Q39/Q40, arc drawings, active-charge policy, or withdrawn achievement conclusions. Remaining findings and role handoffs are on PMR003. Reference API values and broad licence/platform conclusions were not independently re-verified by PM in this review. No new research expansion or owner asset/phase decision is required for the assigned writing. If unchanged, do not edit merely to post a heartbeat or notify the owner again. Administrator health checks remain separate.

Completed: 2026-09-06 14:36 UTC. First review: no previous PM Reviews checkpoint existed. Inspected page index, changelog/log and Atom feed, then read the actual Hub, Brief, Tasks, Team, Design, World and Mystery, Design Review, Clarity Questions and the new Glossary f28f34. The editor's Hub navigation update 89e2dc was preserved. Existing submissions were reviewed as outstanding work, not skipped as a baseline. No integrated Design Document was submitted.

**Verdict:** DES101, WLD101 and REV101 accepted as concept-stage deliverables. A, The Borrowed Route, is PM's provisional direction for DES102 (D013), not owner approval. The existing lead session identified by c9b2ed/db8c5c is canonical integrator (D014). DES102 and WLD102 are Ready; REV102 requires the integrated draft. No agent is assumed to have read this assignment or resumed work.

**Specific findings and acceptance criteria:** [Tasks, PMR001](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Tasks). Main unresolved items: continuous beacon movement versus examples claiming committed groups stay put; panel-only intake versus the coil exception; r5 stationary swarms/safe retreat versus dock-blocking claims; competing routing additions in Design r4 versus World r6; consistent adoption of r4 rack rules; repeat stun-harvest; undeveloped ending and implied colony upkeep; plain-language, internally consolidated presentation. N10's pulsing/energised wording is resolved by World r5/r6; N11 is answered differently in Design r3 and r4; PM carries r4's nonconductive modules. N13's wet intake and N15's shorter interval are supplied in r4. N12 routing, N14 upkeep and N16 later mystery tiers remain assigned with concrete PM defaults. REV101 Finding 5's readable-state table remains due in DES102. No actual balance, fun, performance or feasibility has been established.

**Coordination completed:** Tasks now reflects actual deliveries and exact revision evidence; Brief records provisional PM decisions without changing owner requirements; Team names integration ownership; Hub preserves the editor's artifact/Glossary links and corrects stale access/team status. Coordination answers and remaining design questions are recorded in Tasks PMR001; the Clarity page response is included when its source remains unchanged at save time, otherwise deferred to preserve the author's concurrent work. Its restored answers and maintenance note are never overwritten. Specialist-authored Design, World and Mystery, and Design Review were not overwritten. Read-only asset/source research is permitted; no paid/custom asset or art creation is authorized, and AI art remains prohibited.

**Owner communication:** recommend A's shared electricity/exploration tension and report concept-review milestone. No routine relay, new agent, resource purchase or development approval is requested. Owner can steer the premise later; reversible drafting is unblocked now.

These are the artifacts actually read and critiqued, before PM coordination edits. Short revision IDs come from the changelog; content fingerprints disambiguate the exact processed text.

Inspect new source revisions since these fingerprints, prioritising WLD102 corrections and the first Design Document submission. Check whether the canonical lead has acknowledged by substantive work; a posted Ready assignment does not prove execution. Review an actual draft before declaring the next milestone. If unchanged, do not append a heartbeat or re-notify the owner. Administrator health checks remain separate. The design-only gate remains active; only the owner can authorize development after reviewing a compelling design document.

**2026-09-07.** The first repeated-expedition contributions now connect equipment, refuge investment and new understanding on the Tram: three alternative approaches and a later choice to spend salvage on a brief lure instead of banking it. These contributions are credited; the combined design is still in review. Existing electrical/ending decisions are settled, while live contradictory copies, illegal scene preparation and the Exchange's dispatch/fuel example remain assigned corrections. [PMR007 findings](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR007) · [Current assignments](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Tasks).

PM provisionally simplifies the comparison service under [Brief D026](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief); Lead integrates one first/changed/later Tram sequence before independent depth review. The seven-district and 8.4-hour baseline is an unmeasured drafting hypothesis, not sufficient-scope proof. No owner approval, new agent or asset request is needed now; development remains unauthorized. Older dated PMR006 summaries below describe their own review, not today's task statuses.

The owner has lifted the overnight pause and approved continuing the design priorities in PM's report. Hourly PM reviews are enabled. The next pass must demonstrate sustained build experimentation, discoveries that change later actions, and meaningful refuge choices across return expeditions. [Current assignments on Tasks](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Tasks#current-work--resumed-2026-09-07-depth-across-repeated-expeditions) belong to the existing team and Lead integrator. No design, duration or development approval is implied. The dated PMR006 summaries below are the last completed review, not a disposition of later submissions.

The provisional design now has **seven external districts plus the refuge**, one shared machinery/mystery explanation and a content-backed baseline of 34 expeditions / 8.2 hours of authored expedition beats, with optional visits separate. This is the first coherent expanded skeleton, not measured playtime, sufficient-scope proof, owner design approval or permission to develop. [PMR006](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR006) lists the remaining rule and asset contradictions.

**Start with the working vision:** [Brief — Game vision](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Brief#game-vision). Its concrete expedition and design changes are still being developed. The earlier [Campaign owner introduction](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign#read-this-first-one-page-for-the-owner) and [owner-decision section](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign#10-decisions-for-the-owner) remain detailed proposals under reconsideration, not an approved replacement pitch.

**Detailed design:** [Campaign](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign) describes the districts and written expeditions; [Build Paths](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Equipment/Build%20Paths) describes equipment choices; [Design Index](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Index) routes to specific mechanics, enemies and items. These are substantial working documents. The old word counts and reading-time promises have been removed under Q54 because they no longer described this material; their prior wording remains in page history. Reading the legacy GDD is not a prerequisite.

[Tasks](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Tasks) assigns integration of power/dispatch, electrical effects, district consequences and colony interfaces. [Team](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Team) records four substantive submissions. Existing Lead remains integrator. Editor now reports resumed; Lead/domain authors still validate transfers and PM retains coordination. No extra agent or owner relay is needed for the next writing handoff. **No development is authorized.**

The first expanded campaign skeleton is in review with specific integration changes required. [PMR006](/Hold%20the%20Flood/PM%20Reviews/PMR006) accepts the targeted World/Campaign corrections and Colony structure while withholding complete-design acceptance.
