tevansandClaude Opus 5 906a034ffe Areas arrive as situations, not prompts
The review's verdict after resolution blocks: 'still choices attached to
prompts, not spaces that naturally produce play'. The hand-written delve gives
a place — four people back-to-back around a dead lantern — and the decisions
fall out of it. DELVE gave a decision and asked the GM to imagine the room.

Every area now carries a situation: an occupant, what they are doing, what
changes when the party walks in, why (GM), and what it offers. 48 across 8
motifs, motif-scoped and dealt without replacement.

It produces chains nothing planned: in seed live-table-01 a grave-robber in
area 2 is trying to get a password's intonation right, and area 4 is a door
that needs one. Three routes to it now exist where there was a Wits roll.

Also closes the last two open complaints: the five roll-less decisions now have
real attempts (a voice you could not speak to was the weakest), and {priorCue}
resolves against a cue the party has actually seen instead of granting the
answer by fiat.

Tests 19 -> 24.
