chore(sprint): playtest-3 audit — 6 stories under epic 37#96
Merged
Conversation
Tonight's forensic audit of the 2026-04-19 playtest (Blutka/Orin in
caverns_and_claudes/mawdeep, Felix Surrone solo in space_opera/aureate_span,
plus the stalled evropi session) surfaced ~20 distinct bugs across the save
architecture, dispatch write-backs, inventory lifecycle, chargen, and
template substitution paths. Clustered into six new stories with evidence
baked in so picking up the work does not require re-deriving the bug:
- 37-36 (3pt) Party-peer identity packet in game_state — canonical
pronouns/race/class of other party members injected so narrator stops
drifting Blutka he/him -> she/her across sealed-letter turns
- 37-37 (5pt) Sealed-letter world-state handshake between turns — shared
world delta (location, encounter, adjacency) stops narrator fabricating
physical separations like the collapsed corridor
- 37-38 (5pt) State write-back hygiene — total_beats_fired stuck at 0,
encounter.outcome null on resolved encounters, scrapbook backfill, turn
counter lag, NPC.last_seen_turn stale
- 37-39 (5pt) Inventory lifecycle — starting kit double-init, consumables
not removed on use, containers re-populate on room re-entry, weapons
keep state=Carried after explicit narrative discard
- 37-40 (5pt) Chargen + template + slot-reuse — evropi blockers: stale
narrative surviving session reinit, NULL resolved_archetype, unresolved
{{generated at session start}} template leak in all 6 saves, "A Human
{class}" hardcode, notorious-party firing in solo sessions
- 37-41 (8pt) State completeness bundle — 10 sub-items: empty
current_region, region pollution from aside text, no freetext/slug
dedup, encounter.actors missing enemies, world_history arcs frozen at
turn 30, tropes don't write quest_log/stakes, NPC HP 0/0, player turns
not logged to narrative_log, world_history embeds empty, NPC
auto-registration missing
Also surfaced but not filed (already in flight as 37-30 in_progress):
scrapbook image_url NULL across every save in every genre — 462 render
PNGs exist but none linked to their scrapbook rows.
31pt of playtest-3 fixes under epic 37.

Summary
Tonight's playtest surfaced a punch list of bugs from three concurrent sessions (Blutka + Orin in caverns_and_claudes/mawdeep, Felix Surrone solo in space_opera/aureate_span, plus the stalled evropi session across 6 characters). Forensic audit of the SQLite saves produced six clustered stories, all filed under epic 37 with evidence baked inline.
31pt total. Related to in-progress 37-30 (scrapbook image_url NULL across every save — 462 render PNGs exist but aren't linked back).
