Changes to the chapters

1. The owner's later decisions in the markings. These include true scale, protected mechanics, logistics-only lawfare, all ship classes buildable, the sole game engine, JCOM ownership of the Space Dreidel, the two victory axes, and INS Adir (CVN-107).

2. Source chapter 01, the D-001 through D-017 ledger, where a later owner line does not overrule it.

3. The other source chapters, in their authority order: chapter 07, then 03, then 02, then 04, then 05, then 06.

A contract line that freezes a weapon loses to the 23:25 decision. A chapter that treats a retired renderer as the game loses to the 23:57 decision.

The lawfare question is closed. Owner, 2026-10-04 23:25, verbatim: "supply delays and blockades, not weapons breaking down." Lawfare is reputation pressure plus supply delays, embargoes, port denial, protester blockades, flotilla blockades, and slowed reinforcements. It never lo…

PR gains are capped at 25 points per rolling minute. Penalties are not capped. The orbital laser is immune to the lawfare freeze and still pays the PR cost. Francesca Albanese stays the off-map diplomatic antagonist. Greta Thunberg's flotilla is a blockade. The removal package i…

Explicit conflict packages

This map turns partial, unbuilt, and conflicting requirements into work packages. M0 delivers a playable JSLC tutorial with PR warfare expressed through logistics. Lane states and implementation claims are recorded baseline observations, not fresh verification.

JCOM means JSLC Command. Its orbital asset is the Space Dreidel. Kinetic victory requires destroying all hostile Command Centers, production facilities, and builder engineers. PR victory drives enemy legitimacy to zero. At zero legitimacy, ports close, cargo is refused, base gat…

P0 blocks M0. P1 is a promised operation. P2 is completeness or presentation. A package whose text is the PR conflict, the retired renderer boot, or the tutorial is P0 even if a source chapter ranked it lower.

Read on 2026-10-05 from each lane directory. "ahead" is commits on the lane branch that are not in that clone's origin/main. No final report means the lane has not closed.

gg11, gg12, gg14, gg15, and gg23 have no "b" lane in this list. gg12 and gg15 were not in the running set named by the brief.

Authority, highest first: the owner's later decisions in the markings (including the 2026-10-05 02:05 victory decision), then source chapter 01, then the other source chapters, then these chapters. A closed item is listed above the open decisions and is not a button.

Sources: markings and owner step 6295. |

Two models stay until you pick one clearance and one phase model. Model A is the Blue Aurora four-phase lift: chapter 06 reads 15 m as clearance above a 45 m mast, a 22 s cycle, and it runs in the active simulation. [BUILT: beta/src/gameplay/auroraElevator.ts] Model B is the 720…

- Keep both until a later pick, and port Model B into the 3D game

- **Directive:** The game is architected as a modern evolution / Total Conversion grounded in the Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour (SAGE Engine) paradigm, combining a deterministic 30 Hz simulation core with modern WebGL / Three.js 3D rendering.

- **Sources:** Steps 0, 368, 7625, 7752.

- **Directive:** Active development must never overwrite or destroy core baselines. The designated development branch for the game is `v0c-alpha` under `jcom_v0bb_training_jslc-and-conquer`. Master design documentation lives in `z4yin/jslcnc-bible-20261004-antigravity`.

- **Sources:** Steps 373, 377, 7752, 7758.

- **Sources:** Step 7600 ("BRING BACK MY FUCKING SHELL SIDEBAR", "START WITH THE SHELLS").

- **Sources:** Steps 7590, 7605 ("make sure claude-design also runs through every node and module BUT ONLY AFTER THEY ARE PUSHED").

- *Healthy (100-75% HP):* Smooth mechanical locomotion, rotating radars, hum of avionics.

- *Damaged (74-35% HP):* Radar pod locked, visible smoke plume, sputtering exhaust, speed reduced by 25%.

- *Critical (34-0% HP):* Catastrophic electrical sparks, dragging treads, secondary munitions cooking off, weapons disabled (stalled).

- **Core Lifeblood Systems:** Units consume Fuel, Ready-Rack Ammo, and Mechanical Reliability. They cannot operate without resupply tethers (C-130 drops, UNREP supply ships, D9 triage dozers).

- *Healthy (100-75% HP):* Rattling suspension, mismatched tires, improvised armor plating intact.

- *Damaged (74-35% HP):* Wobbly suspension, black diesel smoke pouring from engine block, improvised sandbags falling off.
