The canon-log schema and NewGame code already migrated to race_id/
calling_id + allowed_callings, but two copies of the roster outside
that schema were missed, and no parity test guards them:
- docs/canon-log.md (the cross-boundary contract doc) still documented
the OLD player shape and allowed_classes. Anyone building a player
block from the doc would get a 422.
- .claude/skills/world-building's schema reference still emitted
allowed_classes with two dead calling ids (assassin, priest). Author
a new origin with that skill and it fails origin.schema.json
(additionalProperties: false, allowed_callings required) AND, if that
ever loosened, silently allows zero callings at runtime.
Also:
- add schema tests rejecting a dead class_id field and an unknown
calling_id (priest)
- guard NewGame._validate's container types (spend/skills) so a
malformed JSON round-trip (null spend, string skills) produces a
front-loaded error list instead of a GDScript runtime crash
- extend the no-mechanics-in-content test to db.races, not just
db.callings
- rewrite the roadmap's M4 bullet: the two contract migrations landed;
only the creation screen and title->creation->shell flow remain
client: 250/250. api: 74 passed, 2 skipped. content_build --check: clean.

All seven callings are now named; no [CANON-TBD] remains in the specs.
Reaver (Barbarian). To reave is to raid — occupational, like Sellsword and
Trapper, naming what he does for money rather than what he is inside. That is
the rule the five mock names already obeyed and that §8's own list broke: a
calling is what a village calls you, not what a rulebook calls you. Bearsark
and Wildman were rejected for naming a condition; Breaker for being generic.
Bloodsworn (Warlock) was not a new coinage — the cosmology minted it a day
after the races spec was written ("what the Margreave calls bloodsworn",
rule.blood-price), and the cosmology spec had already applied it. It is the
exact FTH-axis mirror of Bonesetter: one channels the Warden, one pacts a king
of the Seven. Accepted cost, recorded in the spec: alone among the callings it
names a condition rather than a trade — the villain who pacts Ghaul is
bloodsworn too. A second, occupational word (Cursewright, Hexman) was
considered and rejected as a distinction the player will never feel.
Also retires the stale "reconcile class names" note on M4 and records the two
contract migrations that milestone owes: the canon log's `race` field, and the
deserter origin's dead allowed_classes.

Both roadmaps still described the copper currency change as pending. It is
merged. The marker moves to M4, M8's line now says what it still owes (the
price table — nothing is priced yet), and a "Landed out of band" section
records the two items that shipped outside a milestone: the currency value
type, and the once-per-reply move cap its review turned up.

Implements the docs restructure half of the content-track design (the
currency item is code and stays unbuilt). Content stops being unbounded:
the work is now a countable checklist with an end.
content/roadmap.md — new. Three sections, only one of which is ever the
work:
Spine Greywater Docks + one dungeon, patron Ghaul the Yoke; the
cosmology touching ground. Plus what is already canon.
BOM ~57 discrete pieces for a complete, playable game, per
milestone. Numbers, not vibes.
Backlog Everything the slice does not need. Not a debt — where ideas
go to be safe.
Its rule: never author anything that is not in the Bill of Materials.
The BOM carries a Fixed/Variable column — the seven-campaign saga spec's
only ask of this table. ~37 fixed / ~20 variable: a second town costs the
20, not the 57. That is also the exact split v2 generation would need.
content/lore/canon-roadmap.md becomes a pointer (older specs and plans
reference the old path). An items-and-prices table does not belong under
lore/.
docs/roadmap.md — M4..M9 each gain a "Content it consumes →" line into
the BOM.
world-building skill — SKILL.md and evals.json now point at
content/roadmap.md, and the skill is told to respect the BOM rule: ideas
that arrive during authoring go to the Backlog, not into the world.
Build + --check green; generated content/world and content/server are
byte-identical. No Python touched.

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.

Capture the direction change from M3-b: UI screens are authored editor-first
as .tscn node trees (previewable/arrangeable in the Godot editor), scripts do
on-load work only — never build the tree in _ready(). Add ADR 0001, a
"UI scene conventions" how-to in client/docs, a §16 mandate in the charter,
and mark M3-a/M3-b done in the roadmap.

The aliveness POC (M0-M2) is proven, so redefine the project as the tactical
CRPG the /mockups describe. Charter: §1 reframed (Code of Conquest / The
Margreave), §10 combat = tactical + action-economy but GRIDLESS (tokens are
flavor, no positional rules), §15 = button-driven actions + free-text NPC
dialogue (Adjudicator reshaped to the optional free-text escape hatch), §16
adopts /mockups as the UI/systems bible, §17 rewritten to the game's scope.
Two conflicts flagged not silently decided (§18): damage determinism (§7 vs
mock ranges → M5) and class names (§8 vs mock callings → M4).
Roadmap: M0-M2 kept as the built engine; M3-M9 re-sequenced around the mock
screens (Theme+shell → creation → combat → dialogue → inventory/sheet → world
systems → framing/AI-flavor/persistence). Streaming stays shelved; v2 NPC
ideas preserved, re-homed to M6.

M2 (prove aliveness) build-complete + live-proven; feel confirmed in playtest.
Active build focus is now M3 (make it a game), starting with the Adjudicator.

Flip considering-state to done+merged+live-confirmed. Strike the streaming
item — the considering-state reframes the wait and is tested/live; real
streaming's transport rework + mid-stream failure surface isn't worth it for
the POC. Streaming spec retained as a record (banner SHELVED). Includes the
human's folded-in further-down roadmap ideas.

Pivot M2 anti-freeze from streaming to a lighter considering-state: a rotating
in-character 'the Master considers…' indicator (authored content, §13 spirit)
on the proven non-streaming loop, plus the HttpTransport request-timeout fix so
a hung call yields to the fallback instead of spinning forever. Meets §14's
anti-freeze goal by reframing the wait; near-zero new failure surface. Streaming
design PARKED (banner + roadmap ○), revisit if playtest shows the wait hurts.
Conscious §14 deviation recorded per §18.

Regroup the flat status list into milestones with a 'what this proves' goal, and
tag every item with its §2 side (state/text/both), dependencies, and milestone
goal. Sequencing calls locked: M3 leads with the playable dungeon
(Adjudicator→Combat→Luck) before the comedic roles (Improviser/Banter); streaming
deferred until the M2 dialogue experiment proves aliveness.
