# Project State

## Project Reference

See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-05-08)

**Core value:** Every idle mechanic must function as a metaphor that the player absorbs without being told. When economy and meaning conflict, meaning wins.
**Current focus:** Phase 01 — foundations-and-doctrine

## Current Position

Phase: 01 (foundations-and-doctrine) — EXECUTING
Plan: 2 of 7 (next: 01-02-eslint-firewall)
Status: Executing Phase 01
Last activity: 2026-05-09 -- Plan 01-01 (scaffold + test infra) complete

Progress: [█░░░░░░░░░] 14%

## Performance Metrics

**Velocity:**

- Total plans completed: 1
- Average duration: 6 min
- Total execution time: 0.1 hours

**By Phase:**

| Phase | Plans | Total | Avg/Plan |
|-------|-------|-------|----------|
| 1. Foundations & Doctrine | 1/7 | 6 min | 6 min |

**Recent Trend:**

- Last 5 plans: [01-01 scaffold-and-test-infra: 6 min — green]
- Trend: — (1 of 7 plans complete; trend will form after Wave 2)

*Updated after each plan completion*

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table.
Recent decisions affecting current work:

- Phase 1 will land all retrofit-hostile foundations (versioned saves, content/asset pipelines, sim/render firewall, anti-FOMO doctrine, Season 7 end-state design) before any feature code — research from all four researchers converged on this ordering.
- Phase 2 will ship Season 1 as a complete vertical slice that could *plausibly* ship as a free standalone prologue ahead of Seasons 2-7, defending against the 7-Season scope risk.
- Phases 4-7 deliver the remaining six Seasons in mechanic-introducing pairs (Season 2 alone with prestige, Seasons 3-4, Seasons 5-6, Season 7 alone) — at most one new mechanic per Season per the scope-defense doctrine.
- Plan 01-01: scaffolded by hand (the official `npm create @phaserjs/game@latest` is interactive-only — `--template react-ts --yes` flags are silently ignored as of create-game v1.3.2); plan's documented fallback path was used. Vite 8 + TS 6 referenced-projects tsconfig layout adopted; `build` runs `tsc -b && vite build` so strict-TS gates every build. ESLint 9 installed → Plan 02 must use **flat config** (`eslint.config.js`), not legacy `.eslintrc.*`.
- Plan 01-01: pre-installed `fake-indexeddb@^6` here so Plan 03 doesn't have to re-edit `package.json`. All Phase-1 dep versions match RESEARCH.md exactly within their `^` ranges.

### Pending Todos

None yet.

### Blockers/Concerns

Carry-forward banner concerns from research:

- **7-Season scope risk** is the project's biggest risk; defended by the standalone-Season-1 escape hatch (Phase 2) and the one-mechanic-per-Season cap.
- **Story ends but the loop doesn't** — Season 7 end-state design must land in Phase 1 (PIPE-05); finite Roothold ceiling enforced in Phase 4 (SEAS-04); credits/coda rest-state in Phase 7 (SEAS-10).
- **AI asset style drift** — provenance + curation + locked north-star reference set must land in Phase 1 (AEST-08, AEST-09, PIPE-03) before any production-volume asset generation in Phase 5+; visual regression testing in Phase 8 (PIPE-04).
