**Reopened following owner feedback, 9 September 2026.** The PM withdraws the earlier M2 core and M3 first-pass wiki acceptance. The current design underdelivers the survivorslike genre, the wiki is difficult for a human reader, and the intended fun, pressure, spectacle and emotional experience are inadequately developed. These are blocking design and communication problems, not minor polish.

The next readiness decision must address those three problems with concrete player experiences and readable current articles. The previous source and consistency checks remain historical evidence of what was examined; they do not resolve the owner's objections. Current status and the conditional correction forecast are on [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress). All workers and automatic checks remain paused pending explicit owner resumption.

Earlier reports and assessments remain in this page's revision history.
