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.

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.

The repo lives on a Gitea server and CI/CD is a long way off, so
.github/workflows/content-build.yml never ran. A workflow nobody executes is
worse than none: it read as a safety net that wasn't there.
Removing it moves the `--check` gate somewhere real. It is now enforced by
tools/content_build/tests/test_real_content.py, which runs check() against the
live bible under pytest — so the gate is a test you actually run, not a job
that never fired.
The world-building skill's verify step now says plainly that nothing runs these
for you, and adds the client suite to the checklist: content/world/ is a CLIENT
INPUT (content_db.gd loads it, test_content_db.gd asserts on it), so a content
change can break the client. That is exactly what the Duncarrow purge did, and
with no CI there is nothing else to catch it.

The purge left `gate: never` — the rung no disposition unlocks — demonstrated
nowhere. Duncarrow's Crell chain had taught it; specimen.md only taught `warm`.
Adds secret.specimen-drowned-clerk (secrecy 4, gate: never), so the specimen
now shows an ascending 2 -> 4 chain and a reason `never` exists: the NPC holds
it, but saying it aloud would hang him. Mirrored in the skill's worked example,
which now states the rule — if any rung *should* buy the secret, gate it at
`trusted` instead.

The purge plan assumed content/world/** was pure build output. The client
reads it: content_db.gd loads content/world/topics/ (now absent, since every
topic was Duncarrow-generated) and its tests asserted on deleted ids.
- content_db: a missing content dir is an empty dir, not an error (§13)
- test_content_db: repoint at cosmology canon; drop deleted npc.mera-fenn
- test_content_db: assert the no-body-on-client invariant structurally, so it
cannot pass vacuously when the topic set is empty
- schema.md: finish repointing the worked example onto specimen.md's ids
- restore a local real-bible --check smoke test (was only in CI)
- roadmap: record that generated content has client consumers

Author gritty, disposition-gated Margreave content (lore bible + hand-authored
quest/item/location/origin JSON) that reconciles against existing canon before
writing, holds the world's hard-by-default / warm-when-earned NPC tone, and keeps
the content_build --check gate green.
- SKILL.md: read-before-write workflow, read-only on existing canon (propose
diffs, require approval), build+check+pytest as the done bar.
- references/schema.md: full bible + JSON contract, secrecy scale, gate model.
- references/tone.md: tone contract + NPC disposition-warmth model.
- scripts/canon_index.py: dumps existing ids for reconciliation.
- evals/: 3 test cases (all green in isolated-worktree runs).
Un-ignore /.claude/skills/ so project skills are versioned like code; all other
.claude/ dirs (root + nested api/client) stay ignored.
