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.

/**
|
|
* An area is a beat. Draft 5 §6 — two faces, not four.
|
|
*
|
|
* Cue (what players perceive) and Truth (what is going on) are required. Consequence is inline
|
|
* bracketed mechanics, the way the house style already does it. Reveal appears only where a
|
|
* secret genuinely differs from the Cue.
|
|
*
|
|
* DELVE does not write prose. The playtest was explicit that the read-aloud paragraphs are most
|
|
* of what makes a delve playable and they are hand-written. So the Cue is emitted as *fragments*
|
|
* for the GM to assemble aloud, labelled as such. Faking prose here would be the one dishonest
|
|
* thing this tool could do.
