Shelved AICOM Concepts

Shelved AICOM Concepts (revivable)

Status: SHELVED by owner 2026-07-03 — none are rejected; all are "someday" candidates. Proposed during the V2 program design discussion. Do NOT build these without an explicit owner revival. Each entry lists feasibility grounding so a revival needs no re-research. Related: Agent-Guide, the V2 program roster (Game PC), docs/design/v2/.

#	Concept	One-liner	Feasibility grounding	Revive when
1	Chief-of-Staff mode	Human commander seated -> AICOM becomes staff: runs rear garrisons/logistics, radios recommendations, accepts sector delegation	Team modes + command menu + SideMessage radio all exist; Planning layer exposes suggestions API	After V2 core is stable; big UX win for player-commander servers
2	Nemesis system	Cross-round memory of specific PLAYERS (UID): radio call-outs, bounty, extra recon on last round's top asset-killer	a2waspwarfare_Extension persistence + UID stats already flow; honest (encounter-derived only)	With Adaptive T2 (lane 456) shipping
3	Deception	Decoy convoys, dummy staging structures, false radio traffic before the real push; telegraphs can occasionally lie	Cheap assets + existing radio grammar; rate-limited so legibility survives	After the legibility grammar (N3 lane 12) is live and learned by players
4	War diary AAR	First-person after-action report auto-written from the commander's own WHY tokens, posted by the bot + match page	Pure Stats V2 + explainability output; zero in-game cost	As soon as explainability (AICOMSTAT v3) + Stats V2 ingest both live
5	Terrain weaponization	Mine expected chokepoints on defense, wreck-blockades during withdrawals, cut own-flank bridges when losing	A2 mines exist; bridge-demolition HVT pattern sketched in wild-ideas; composition spawner exists	With V2 defense doctrine; owner-check the mine density
6	Campaign persistence	Extension dumps/restores full war state -> a week-long war across server restarts; serialized community story	callExtension bridge proven (stats.json); state = towns/upgrades/economy	V2.2 flagship, after one-shot is stable
7	Commander cam	Spectator/admin overlay drawing the brain's live intent: axes, staging, target scores on the map	Intent vars + WHY tokens exist; marker/overlay tech trivial	With the read-only admin hub (streaming + debugging jewel)
8	Honest rubber-banding	Optional keep-it-close mode: commander tunes its OWN economy handicap, never cheats or reads hidden info	Skill-dial params (N3 lane 11) provide the knobs	Low-pop-night QoL, after difficulty dial ships

House rule reminder: concepts here are shelved, not rejected — distinct from the owner rejected-concepts list in AGENTS.md (that list stays forbidden).
