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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Canon Roadmap
The world's answer to docs/roadmap.md: what is authored vs pending, and the
order the Margreave is being written. Source of truth is content/lore/*.md;
content/world + content/server are BUILT from it (python -m content_build).
Authored (status: canon)
- cosmology.md — the overarching theme: the Warden (distant good god), the
Sent (his angels), the Seven (demonic host), and the two economies +
possession (
rule.the-pact,rule.blood-price,rule.possession). The backdrop every future piece of content reconciles against. - the-seven.md — the seven demon kings, one
person.*each: Kareth (Red King), Vael (Quiet Knife), Morren (Grey Mother), Ghaul (the Yoke), Ishri (Open Mouth), Nuun (Hollow Choir), Draeth (Crowned Worm). - FTH-axis callings (folded into the cosmology, from the races/classes
spec): the Bonesetter channels the Warden, the Bloodsworn (resolves the
warlock's former
[CANON-TBD]name) pacts one of the Seven. ApplyingBloodswornto calling data and a Bloodsworn's patron choice are M4; any Luck effect is an M5/ Improviser reconcile. - mechanics.md — hosts
rule.disposition-ladder(the required-once gate vocabulary), reparented out of the retired Duncarrow scaffolding. - specimen.md — a synthetic
status: candidatedisposition-gate specimen (validated by--check, emitted nowhere); the world-building skill's structure example. Not game canon. The Duncarrow scaffolding (Crell chain, Mera Fenn) is deleted.
Lesson from the Duncarrow purge
Generated content under content/world/ has a client-side consumer:
client/scripts/content/content_db.gd (loaded via client/scripts/harness/npc_harness.gd)
and its GUT tests in client/tests/unit/test_content_db.gd. Deleting generated
content — a whole namespace of topics/npcs/canon — is a client change, not
just a content change; check client/ before purging.
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.
