1.0	v1.0	milestone	in_progress	Phase 2 Wave 1 (Plan 02-02 begin-plant-grow) complete. 3 atomic commits: e82a11b (sim/garden — types, plants table, growth state machine, plantSeed), 537016b (render layer + Garden scene + scheduler integration), 414a554 (begin screen + seed picker + ui-strings + lazy content split). 163/163 tests green; npm run ci exits 0. GARD-01 / GARD-02 / AEST-07 / UX-01 requirements landed end-to-end. Begin → Plant → Grow vertical slice operational on Phaser primitives; Pitfall 5 mitigated (synchronous-inside-click AudioContext bootstrap); Assumption A5 verified (Phaser.Scale.FIT seed-picker positioning works without modification). Wave 1 plan 02-03 (harvest-journal-fragments) builds on src/sim/garden + src/render/garden + src/ui/garden surfaces shipped here. Wave 2 (02-04 lura-gate-beats + 02-05 letter-settings-e2e) still queued.

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 02 — Season 1 Vertical Slice (Soil) — Wave 0 done; Wave 1 in progress (02-02 done, 02-03 next); Wave 2 queued

Current Position

Phase: 02 (season-1-vertical-slice-soil) — 2/5 plans complete (Wave 0 + Wave 1 first plan) Plans: 5 of 5 created (3 waves); Wave 0 (02-01) DONE; Wave 1 first plan (02-02) DONE; Wave 1 second plan (02-03) ready; Wave 2 queued Status: Plan 02-02 begin-plant-grow executed in sequential mode — 3 atomic commits, 35 new tests (163/163 total green), npm run ci exits 0. GARD-01 / GARD-02 / AEST-07 / UX-01 satisfied end-to-end on Phaser primitives. Begin → Plant → Grow vertical slice operational. Pitfall 5 mitigated; Assumption A5 verified. Last activity: 2026-05-09 -- Plan 02-02 execute complete

Performance Metrics

Velocity:

• Total plans completed: 9 (1 partial — 01-05 Task 2 deferred via IOU)
• Average duration: ~5 min (Wave 1 baseline 6min; Wave 2 plans 4–8min; Plan 07 ~2min; Plan 02-01 ~12min; Plan 02-02 ~18min — Phase-2 vertical-slice plans are heaviest)
• Total execution time: ~60 min across Phase 1 + Phase 2 Wave 0 + Wave 1 first plan

By Phase:

Phase	Plans	Total	Avg/Plan
1. Foundations & Doctrine	7/7 (complete)	~30 min	~5 min
2. Season 1 Vertical Slice (Soil)	2/5 (Wave 0 + Wave 1 first plan complete)	~30 min	~15 min

Recent Trend:

• Last 5 plans: [01-05 asset-provenance (partial) · 01-06 doctrine-docs · 01-07 ci-workflow · 02-01 foundations · 02-02 begin-plant-grow — all green]
• Trend: ↗ (02-02 was 18 min — heavier still than 02-01 because it spans every architectural tier: sim → render → game → ui → content; 35 new tests + the first end-to-end vertical slice on Phaser primitives)

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. COMPLETE.
• 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.
• Plan 02-01 (Wave 0): BLOCKER 3 lastTickAt-vs-tickCount split landed — SimState carries TWO time fields with strict ownership (lastTickAt = wall-clock, app-only writes; tickCount = sim-internal monotonic). simAdapter.applyTickCount is the canonical sim → store path. Pinned by 3 store tests + 1 migrations test.
• Plan 02-01 (Wave 0): V1Payload extended in place per D-34 (no migrations[2]) — Phase-1's v1 has shipped zero production saves so adding fields with defaults in migrations[1] is cleaner. Regression-defense test asserts Object.keys(migrations).sort() === ['1'].
• Plan 02-01 (Wave 0): ESLint sim-purity rule (Block 3 of eslint.config.js) is the mechanical defense for D-33 — bans Date.now() and setInterval in src/sim/** with src/sim/scheduler/clock.ts as the lone exception. Programmatic Vitest test against the date-now-violator fixture proves the rule fires; negative test on clock.ts proves the exception holds.
• Plan 02-02 (Wave 1): GRID_LAYOUT origin-centering math corrected during execution — gridOriginX=296 / gridOriginY=168 (not the plan's 240/144 hedged "≈" values). True-centered in 1024×768.
• Plan 02-02 (Wave 1): Phaser 4 cannot be imported under happy-dom — its boot probe checkInverseAlpha calls canvas.getContext('2d') which returns null. SeedPicker test mocks src/game/event-bus to avoid pulling Phaser into the test runtime; Phaser scene behavioral coverage is the Plan 02-05 Playwright e2e's job (RESEARCH Validation Architecture explicitly states render-tier needs a real canvas).
• Plan 02-02 (Wave 1): Audio bootstrap is module-level state (not React useState) so the click handler can call it synchronously — Pitfall 5 (iOS Safari requires AudioContext construction inside the gesture, not just resume) is mitigated structurally.
• 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.
• Plan 01-07: minimum-viable CI workflow (49 lines) running npm ci + npm run ci on push/PR to main; ubuntu-latest only, Node 22 only, no matrix per CONTEXT user pushback against ceremony. The workflow's role is to refuse merges that break local npm run ci, nothing more. New CI gates (Phase 2 e2e, Phase 8 visual regression) are added by editing package.json scripts.ci (or new dedicated workflow files), not by editing ci.yml — the workflow stays stable across all future phases.
• Plan 01-07: npm ci (lockfile-strict) chosen over npm install per RESEARCH § Security Domain; npm audit deferred to Phase 8. actions/setup-node@v4 with cache: 'npm' per RESEARCH CI Pitfall A — never cache node_modules/ directly.
• Plan 01-05 Task 2 (north-star images): Deferred via Path C per 01-05-IOU.md. User decision: "I don't really want to deal with creating the art for this." Two placeholder PNGs committed with valid provenance sidecars. Real north-star curation deferred to Phase 5 when production-volume asset generation begins.

Pending Todos

• Plan 01-05 Task 2 (human curation) — Phase 5 follow-up: 10-20 hand-curated AI generations committed to assets/north-stars/ with provenance sidecars. Non-blocking for Phase 2 (no production AI assets until Phase 5+). Recorded in 01-05-IOU.md with resolution path.

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 landed in Phase 1 (.planning/season-7-end-state.md, PIPE-05 ✓); finite Roothold ceiling enforcement deferred to Phase 4 (SEAS-04); credits/coda rest-state to Phase 7 (SEAS-10).
• AI asset style drift — provenance schema + CI gate + refused-sample fixture landed in Phase 1 (Plan 01-05 Task 1, PIPE-03 + AEST-08 ✓); locked 10–20-image north-star reference set deferred to Phase 5 per IOU (AEST-09 IOU); production-volume asset generation begins Phase 5+; visual regression testing in Phase 8 (PIPE-04).

Session Continuity

Last session: 2026-05-09 Stopped at: Phase 2 Wave 1 first plan (Plan 02-02 begin-plant-grow) executed in sequential mode — 3 atomic commits (e82a11b, 537016b, 414a554), 35 new tests, 163/163 total green, npm run ci exits 0. GARD-01/GARD-02/AEST-07/UX-01 building blocks landed end-to-end on Phaser primitives. SUMMARY at .planning/phases/02-season-1-vertical-slice-soil/02-02-begin-plant-grow-SUMMARY.md. Next action: /gsd-execute-phase 2 to continue with Plan 02-03 (harvest + journal + fragments) on top of the sim/garden + render/garden + ui/garden surfaces shipped in 02-02. Wave 2 (02-04 lura-gate-beats + 02-05 letter-settings-e2e) follows after both Wave 1 plans complete.
