docs: land the saga guardrails on the milestones they constrain
Applies the seven-campaign saga direction spec (021c248) to the docs it
was written to protect. No new milestone, no new content, no BOM line.
docs/roadmap.md — a "Guarded direction" section, and a ⛨ saga note on the
four milestones that would otherwise foreclose the shape:
M3 don't hardcode the title flow so a saga entry path can't be added
M4 keep construct()'s `creation` a plain Dictionary; the scene must not
become its only producer
M5 the level curve is no longer open — L20 across 7 tiers; enemy stat
blocks carry tier; no scaling multiplier, ever
M9 the save is two objects (Saga + Campaign); humiliations move to the
Saga or they die with the campaign
races-and-classes spec — the deferred "XP curve → M5" line now inherits the
ceiling rather than choosing one.
canon-roadmap — what the saga asks of content: a tier field when the
item/quest namespaces land, and a fixed-vs-variable mark on each BOM line
when the BOM is written. Tiers 2-7 and the other six kings go to the
Backlog.
Content build --check green; no generated content touched.

## The seven-campaign saga — what it asks of content
|
||||
|
||||
The saga direction spec
|

([`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-12-character-reuse-seven-arc-design.md`](../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-12-character-reuse-seven-arc-design.md))
|
||||
authors **no content** and adds **no BOM line**. It asks two things of the content
|
||||
track, both of which land inside work already sequenced:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`tier: 1..7` on the entry envelope**, validated by the build tool — added at the
|
||||
moment the `item` and `quest` namespaces land (already an M7/M8 prerequisite in the
|
||||
content-track design). Schema, not content.
|
||||
- **When the Bill of Materials is written, mark each line fixed vs variable.**
|
||||
*Fixed substrate* (identical in every campaign): currency, the price table,
|
||||
abilities, callings, the cosmology, the Seven, the disposition ladder.
|
||||
*Per-campaign variable*: the town, its NPCs, their gated knowledge, the quest
|
||||
chain, the king. This tells you which BOM lines town #2 reuses verbatim — useful
|
||||
now, and the exact split v2 generation will need.
|
||||
|
||||
Pleasant accident: **the Greywater slice is already campaign 1** — tier 1, patron
|
||||
Ghaul the Yoke. Nothing in the content-track design changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pending (not yet authored)
|
||||
|
||||
- Per-town knowledge that grounds the cosmology: possessed NPCs, blood-harvest
|
||||
sites, shrine fronts — authored as gated `rumor`/`fact`/`secret`.
|
||||
- The Barbarian ⚔ calling name (`[CANON-TBD]`); the Bloodsworn's patron-choice
|
||||
detail (M4). Regions/towns of the Margreave beyond the scaffolding.
|
||||
- **Backlog (saga, tiers 2–7):** the other six kings as campaign patrons; tiered
|
||||
enemy families; the three story-shapes (cult cell → cult that owns a city → the
|
||||
king). Parked, not lost.
