- scripts/compile-ink.mjs: build-time inklecate runner using bundled binary (BLOCKER 4 — uses node_modules/inklecate/bin, not stale -windows/-mac path strings). Assumption A6 verified first-try on Windows; the same binary path resolution works on macOS + Linux per the wrapper's own getInklecatePath convention. - scripts/compile-ink.test.mjs: 3 Vitest cases proving the compiler runs + emits valid JSON with inkVersion. wipe=false for the test path so it can run in parallel with the ink-loader test without racing on the wipe step. - 4 Season-1 .ink files authored in voice (Lura warmth-anchor, gardener-keeper for compost): lura-arrival.ink, lura-mid.ink, lura-farewell.ink, compost-acknowledgements.ink (rewrite of Plan 02-03 scaffolded version into VAR-driven branch shape consumable by the runtime). - src/content/ink-loader.ts: loadInkStory + bindGardenStateToInk + INK_VARIABLE_MAP. Centralized snake_case slot mapping per Pitfall 4. UTF-8 BOM stripped before Story instantiation. - src/content/ink-loader.test.ts: 8 cases — Story instantiation for all 4 beats, fragment_count binding, Pitfall 4 snake_case enforcement, silent skip for stories missing declared vars. - package.json: build now runs compile:ink first; ci chain runs compile:ink before test so ink-loader.test.ts's precondition check passes. - .gitignore: src/content/compiled-ink/ excluded (regenerated on every build). npm run ci exits 0; 11 new tests green (228 total).

/content/ — authored content tree
All player-visible strings, memory fragments, and dialogue live here, never in
src/. The build pipeline (src/content/loader.ts) reads this tree at build
time, validates against Zod schemas, and emits typed values into the runtime
bundle.
This is the contract. Phase 2's writer can author against it without reading any TypeScript.

Fragment ID convention (locked — see CLAUDE.md)
Fragment IDs are stable strings of the shape:
season<N>.<id>
where <N> is 0..7 and <id> matches [a-z0-9._-]+. Examples:
season1.soil.first-bloomseason3.canopy.lura_07.vignette
Never use numeric IDs. Renames are forbidden once a fragment ships; re-authoring an existing fragment changes its body, never its ID.
The exact regex enforced by src/content/schemas/fragment.ts is:
^season\d+\.[a-z0-9._-]+$
Adding fragments
Option A — bulk YAML (preferred for short fragments)
Add an entry to /content/seasons/<slug>/fragments.yaml:
fragments:
- id: season1.soil.first-bloom
season: 1
body: |
Multi-line text here.
Option B — one-per-file Markdown with frontmatter (for longer pieces)
Create /content/seasons/<slug>/fragments/<slug>.md:
---
id: season1.soil.lura-first-letter
season: 1
---
The body of the fragment goes here as Markdown. Frontmatter holds the
structured fields; the body is everything after the closing `---`.
The loader (src/content/loader.ts) merges frontmatter + body into the
same Fragment shape as the YAML form.
Validation (PIPE-01)
Every fragment is validated by the Zod schema in
src/content/schemas/fragment.ts. A schema violation throws at module-eval
time, which fails npm run build.
Test coverage in src/content/loader.test.ts proves the schema rejects:
- numeric IDs (violates the stable-string rule)
- season values outside
[0, 7] - Markdown frontmatter missing required fields
If your edit causes the build or tests to fail with a [content] schema violation error, the message includes the offending file path.
Ink dialogue
Phase 1 installs inkjs + inklecate and ships a no-op npm run compile:ink
script. Phase 2 begins authoring .ink files under /content/dialogue/ and
replaces the no-op with inklecate -o src/content/compiled-ink/ content/dialogue/*.ink.
Deferred (Phase 2+)
- Per-Season lazy loading: Phase 2 switches to
{ eager: false }for Seasons 2–7 so the initial bundle contains only Season 1 (PIPE-02). - Tag/keyword indices: Phase 5+ may add fragment tagging if the Memory Storm UI needs filtered queries.
- Season-range narrowing: Phase 2 narrows the
seasonfield to[1, 7]when the demo fragment is removed.
