# Campaign plan

Goal: a behavior-equivalent engine reading owner-supplied original assets. The next end-to-end
milestone is a strategic turn reproduced under an explicit load/continuation procedure and
recorded command stream, with file-byte, inflated-byte and state equality reported separately.

## Priority order

1. **Establish rollout baseline.** Finish campaign controls, source-bound gate and reporter,
   honest execution accounting, and generated publishing. Select reproducible evidence explicitly
   in `current.json`; missing baseline means not established. Independent reproduction and
   integrated-tree evidence precede acceptance.
2. **Complete research write-set replacement pilot.** Proposed/blocked until its contract has
   executable acceptance criteria, complete inputs, workload/branch exposures, and lease/control
   evidence. Include tech-tree writes, player effects, container elements, allocations, IDs,
   events and RNG state. Existing compare runs and partial replacement attempts are historical
   evidence, not a completed pilot. Start with [research findings](../findings/subsystems/research-replace.md).
3. **Command payload semantics and ship construction.** After the pilot, admit at most two
   independent slices with explicit dependencies and paired worktrees. Resolve runtime inputs,
   complete command payload effects, construction allocations/IDs and write boundaries before
   interpreting a replay result. See [construction findings](../findings/subsystems/ship-construction.md).
4. **Recorded-command standalone replay.** Reproduce explicitly identified workload pairs with
   bound commands, assets, route, seeds and visit order. Report residuals and original dependencies;
   consuming a stream or parsing a save is not behavioral equivalence.

## How work advances

`contracts/*.json` owns scope and lifecycle. `board.md` and `DASHBOARD.md` are generated views.
The integrator alone selects current evidence. Historical domain findings remain in `findings/`;
they do not schedule work or establish current status. New evidence that changes the plan requires
a recorded surprise and Astra resolution. Operational policy: [campaign README](README.md),
[workflow](../guides/multi-agent-workflow.md), [method rules](../guides/method-rules.md).
