The review's sharpest finding was that the fiction cohered but the things in
the rooms did not belong to it: only the motif cue fragment was projected, while
decisions and temptations came from global pools. The output was a consistent
wrapper around generic room furniture.
Both now live under motifs.<id> — 6 decisions and 5 temptations each, 88
authored entries across 8 motifs. A `keeping` delve offers a flower that has not
wilted and a room you may search or leave exactly as you found it; a
`precedence` delve offers a corridor that will not let two walk abreast.
Two bugs surfaced while wiring it, both the same shape as one fixed earlier for
cue fragments: decisions and temptations were picked independently per area
rather than dealt, so a pool of 3 repeated a temptation in 75 of 80 test delves.
Both are now dealt without replacement.
Where a long delve outruns its motif pool, decisions top up from the generic
pool but temptations do not. A generic relic breaks the fiction; a repeated one
only looks thin.
Tests 11 -> 15: motif provenance for both pools, and no repeats at 6 and 9 areas.

Build steps 1, 2 and 4 of the plan in DESIGN.md.
core/ is pure JS with zero Foundry globals and 11 passing invariants. The
fiction model has one root draw — an APPETITE plus the ACCOMMODATION someone
made for it — and projects the motif, danger, prize, faction, cue fragments and
the appeasement move from it, so the fiction coheres instead of being four
unrelated draws. 336 kernels from 21 authored lines; 60 generated delves gave
51 distinct kernels.
Cue fragments are tagged by facet (institution/ritual/demand/wound/anchor) and
dealt without replacement. The facet progression across the arc reproduces the
hand-authored paper delve's structure, which had arrived at it by instinct.
Generation and table dice stay apart: pressure.mjs decides when a clock roll is
due and what it means, and never rolls. That is what makes the skeleton seed an
honest promise rather than a half-truth.
paper/ holds the hand-written delve and both playtest logs. spike/ holds the
instrumented harness that measured the Forge outside Foundry.
