JesseMarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 c8755c21c2 Planning: close M3 and record active-head architecture
M3's review recommended planning changes and, following the M2 pattern,
reported rather than applied them. This applies them, and adds the ADR the
review asked for.

ADR 012 records the architecture rather than the requirement. ADR 005
already says that going backward must preserve abandoned history and that
the user sees Undo/Redo/Retry rather than branch management; it names a
movable active head as the direction and stops. What M3 settled is the
shape: the head is stored rather than derived, every read of the story is
capped at it in one place, one mechanism moves it, the state of a position
comes off the node rather than from a replay, the first write below a
moved-back head is the divergence, and whether Redo exists is decided by
the lineage rather than by a flag that could be stale. The last of those
is the property worth keeping — a flag can be wrong and make the story
wrong; a lineage cannot.

Two semantics are ratified in STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS.md, both of them
reversals or narrowings that a reader would otherwise take for bugs. Undo
now crosses fork points and continues to the campaign opening, because
refusing at the fork was a consequence of deleting rows the parent line
was also reading, and nothing is deleted any more. And the system refuses
to switch which take is live while a later story is off screen, because
doing it quietly would leave retained history continuing from words the
story no longer says.

A new §14A covers editing in place. §14-15 describe the finished
behaviour — the edit becomes authoritative, the state it implies is
re-evaluated, a new continuation is created, the original is retained —
and that requirement is intact and explicitly not weakened here. It is
also not built, because re-evaluating state from prose a user typed needs
M5's extraction pass. §14A says what exists in the meantime and why
refusing is the minimum that holds the invariant rather than the
destination.

TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md gains §8.7 and §9.1, recording the implemented model
and the bundle behaviour as fact in the way §5.2 records M1 and M2. §10.4
gains a constraint that is easy to lose: the snapshot half of the hybrid
state model is a requirement, not an optimization. Head movement is a row
lookup plus a restore, which is why Undo, Redo and Save Point restore cost
the same at any distance into a campaign; a state model recoverable only
by replaying from the opening would make all three proportional to
campaign length, on exactly the long campaigns this product is for.

DATA-MODEL.md records the head as stored on the campaign rather than
derived from its newest turn — two campaigns holding identical turns can
be read at different places, and nothing about the turns can tell them
apart — and the branch disposition as implemented: the depth a divergent
write left the branch at, deliberately advisory, and carried through
export because every row of an abandoned line is exported either way.

BUILD-MILESTONES.md marks M3 complete and states the one condition still
open. M4 is told a Save Point is a durable pointer and that restoring one
is head movement with a bounds check, not a restore system: a second
mover is the specific failure to avoid, because the two paths would
silently disagree about what restore means. M5 gets three constraints —
keep state efficiently recoverable, move the test instrumentation rather
than the assertions when the world-state protocol goes, and finish the
narrator edit §14A defers.

V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS.md clarifies ownership without lowering a bar. D10
keeps all three pass conditions and is explicitly recorded as *not*
satisfied at the end of M3; what changed is that the document now says
which milestone delivers which condition. D03's result is recorded as a
full pass rather than the partial the text allowed for, I07 gains the
pre-M3 bundle clause, and L01 gains the note that resolves its apparent
conflict with A05 — a failed turn does advance the head by one, onto the
player's retained input, and that is A05 working rather than L01 failing.

README.md described a different application: a hosted demo, guest
accounts, cloud providers, Postgres, a Render blueprint, an analytics
dashboard, a QuickJS scripting engine, and 549 tests. M2 removed all of
that and the README was never updated — a gap M2's own debt table missed.
It now describes what this fork is, including the endpoint policy and the
TLS behaviour, and the numbers in it are the current ones.

M3's report is included here as its own evidence record: no separate
baseline report was produced, so it carries the raw counts and runtime
observations as well as the review, and §W records this closeout.

SPECIFICATION.md and SECURITY-THREAT-MODEL.md are unchanged. M3 altered no
product requirement and touched no path in the threat model.

# Adventure Storyteller — V1 Acceptance Tests
**Status:** v1.2 planning/release contract — updated after Phase 0B, after M2 for
the security contract (H10 strengthened, H12 added), and after M3 for history
ownership and results (D03, D10, I07, L01)
**Purpose:** Define black-box acceptance tests for finalist evaluation during Phase 0B and for the eventual v1 release.
## 1. Test Philosophy
These tests describe observable behavior.
They should not assume a particular implementation such as:
- AI-DnD,
- Open Dungeon,
- ai-adventure,
- a specific database schema,
- a specific frontend framework.
A candidate or final build passes by exhibiting the required behavior.
## 2. Test Modes
The suite has two uses.
### Mode A — Phase 0B Candidate Evaluation
Use the tests to determine:
- what already works,
- what partially works,
- what fails,
- what would require redesign.
A candidate does not need to pass everything to remain viable.
### Mode B — V1 Release Acceptance
The final production build must pass all tests marked:
```text
REQUIRED FOR V1
```
Tests marked:
```text
SHOULD
```
are strongly preferred but may be deferred if explicitly approved.
Tests marked:
```text
FUTURE
```
validate architecture only and do not block v1.
## 3. Standard Test Environment
Recommended environment:
- local Linux host,
- local browser,
- local Ollama,
- one installed narrator model,
- one installed embedding model if semantic retrieval is enabled,
- outbound Internet blocked after setup,
- fresh test data directory,
- for A06, a second user-controlled machine on the trusted LAN serving HTTPS
with a locally issued certificate.
Record:
- OS,
- **CPU (core count), GPU (or explicitly none), and RAM**,
- application commit/version,
- Ollama version,
- narrator model,
- embedding model,
- browser,
- test date.
Hardware is not bookkeeping. A model's **cold load** time depends on it, and
M1 measured a cold `qwen2.5:3b-instruct` load on a GPU-less four-core host
exceeding the inherited 120-second client timeout — three times — while the
same turn completed in 6 to 9 seconds once the model was resident. A timeout
result is therefore uninterpretable unless the hardware and the warm/cold state
are recorded with it, and a pass on a GPU machine does not predict a pass on a
CPU-only one.
## 4. Standard Test Campaign
Create a campaign named:
```text
Continuity Test
```
Profile:
```yaml
genre: fantasy
tone: grounded adventure
```
Establish these facts:
### Characters
```text
Aldric
- protagonist
- carries a silver key
- trusts Mara
Mara
- tavern keeper
- knows Edrin
- does not initially know where the silver key was found
Edrin
- missing scholar
```
### Locations
```text
Crooked Lantern Tavern
Old Abbey
```
### Canon Rules
```text
1. Magic exists but resurrection is impossible.
2. The silver key was found in Edrin's desk.
3. Mara has never visited the Old Abbey.
```
### Story Thread
```text
Find Edrin.
```
This fixture is intentionally small but exposes:
- possessions,
- secrets,
- relationships,
- canon,
- location continuity,
- branch divergence,
- long-term memory.
## 5. Standard Imported Knowledge Files
Create three local files.
### `canon.md`
```text
The Old Abbey lies five miles north of Westhaven.
The abbey crypt bears a symbol shaped like a broken circle.
Resurrection is impossible in this world.
```
Classification:
```text
Canon
```
### `reference.md`
```text
Medieval taverns commonly used timber framing, stone hearths, benches,
shared tables, candles, and oil lamps.
```
Classification:
```text
Reference
```
### `inspiration.md`
```text
A traveler entered a silent hall where rain tapped against dark shutters.
A single lantern illuminated the room.
```
Classification:
```text
Inspiration
```
## 6. Result Codes
For every test record:
```text
PASS
PARTIAL
FAIL
NOT IMPLEMENTED
NOT APPLICABLE
```
Include evidence.

# A. Startup, Locality, and Persistence
## A01 — Start Application Offline
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Preconditions
- dependencies installed,
- Ollama models already present,
- outbound Internet blocked.
### Steps
1. Start Ollama.
2. Start storyteller application.
3. Open UI.
4. Create/load campaign.
### Pass
Application starts and basic story operation works without Internet access.
### Fail
Application requires:
- remote authentication,
- cloud provider,
- external database,
- CDN runtime resource,
- online configuration service.
---
## A02 — Storyteller Loopback Default
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Inspect the storyteller web/API listener address.
### Pass
The storyteller UI/API binds to loopback by default.
### Fail
Application exposes privileged storyteller APIs on `0.0.0.0` or the LAN by default without explicit storyteller-LAN configuration.
---
## A03 — No Cloud API Key
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Start and operate application without any cloud API key.
### Pass
Normal story operation requires no external API credentials.
---
## A04 — Campaign Survives Restart
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Create campaign.
2. Play at least five turns.
3. Stop application cleanly.
4. Restart.
5. Open campaign.
### Pass
Transcript and authoritative current state are restored.
---
## A05 — Failed Model Call Does Not Corrupt Story
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Record current head/state.
2. Stop Ollama or configure a temporary invalid local model.
3. Submit a new turn.
4. Restore Ollama.
5. Reopen campaign.
### Pass
- **previously accepted history and state are unchanged** — every earlier turn,
its text and the authoritative state remain exactly as they were,
- **no AI response is accepted for the failed turn**: no partial or truncated
narration is committed, and the count of accepted AI turns does not move,
- the failure is reported to the user rather than swallowed,
- the user can retry and continue.
### Note on wording
"Nothing was committed" would be misleading, and this test should not be read
that way. The user's **submitted text is deliberately retained**: it is
committed before the model is called, so a model failure never discards what
the player typed. A failed turn therefore leaves the player's input at the head
of the story with no reply, and the total row count grows by one.
The invariant is about *accepted* history, not about row counts. What must
never happen is a partially generated AI response entering the story as though
it were accepted, or an earlier turn being altered or lost.
A test that asserts the story is byte-identical before and after will fail for
the wrong reason. Assert instead on the accepted prefix — for example, a digest
over every action up to the pre-failure head — and on the number of accepted AI
turns.
---
## A06 — Trusted-LAN Ollama Inference
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Preconditions
- storyteller and browser run on machine A,
- Ollama runs on a separate user-controlled machine B on the trusted LAN —
**a genuinely separate machine**, not another container or namespace on
machine A,
- **machine B serves HTTPS with a certificate issued by a private/local CA**,
and that CA is installed in machine A's operating-system trust store,
- required models are already installed,
- outbound Internet access is blocked.
### Steps
1. Keep the storyteller UI/API bound to loopback on machine A.
2. Configure the storyteller's Ollama endpoint to machine B, as an `https://`
URL using the hostname the certificate is issued for.
3. Verify model discovery/connection diagnostics.
4. Generate at least three story turns.
5. Trigger state extraction and embeddings/memory retrieval if enabled.
6. Restart the storyteller and resume the campaign.
7. Observe network destinations.
### Pass
- story operation succeeds through the explicitly configured LAN Ollama host,
- **TLS is verified, not bypassed**: the certificate chains to the CA installed
on machine A and the hostname is checked; no "insecure" option was used,
because none exists,
- no cloud API key or Internet access is required,
- inference/model traffic goes only to the approved LAN host,
- storyteller UI/API remains loopback-bound,
- prompts, state, retrieved knowledge, and embedding inputs do not go to any unapproved destination.
### Note on sufficient evidence
Added after M1. **A plain-HTTP LAN test is no longer sufficient evidence for
this test.** Certificate verification never happens over cleartext, so an
HTTP-only run cannot exercise the path that actually broke: against a real
HTTPS LAN host, the application refused an endpoint that `curl` and the browser
on the same machine accepted, because it verified against a bundled public-CA
list instead of the machine's own trust store (ADR 002, *Transport for a
Trusted-LAN Endpoint*).
A container or network namespace standing in for machine B is likewise not
sufficient on its own. It exercises the non-loopback address but typically
speaks plain HTTP, and it will hide exactly this class of defect.

# B. Basic Story Interaction
## B01 — Natural Language Action
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Step
Enter:
```text
I walk into the Crooked Lantern and look for Mara.
```
### Pass
Narrator responds coherently using established setting/state.
---
## B02 — Dialogue Input
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Step
Enter:
```text
I say to Mara, "Have you heard anything about Edrin?"
```
### Pass
Narrator treats quoted text as protagonist dialogue rather than narrating a contradictory user action.
---
## B03 — Continue
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Step
Use Continue with no new protagonist action.
### Pass
Narrator continues the scene without inventing a major voluntary protagonist decision that contradicts narrator rules.
---
## B04 — Story Direction
**Priority:** SHOULD
### Step
Provide out-of-character direction:
```text
Keep this scene tense, but do not start a fight yet.
```
### Pass
Direction affects narration without becoming an unintended in-world spoken statement.
---
# C. Canon and State
## C01 — Campaign Canon Is Preserved
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Step
Prompt a situation involving resurrection.
### Pass
Narrator does not establish working resurrection magic as normal world truth.
---
## C02 — Possession State
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Establish Aldric possesses the silver key.
2. Continue several turns.
3. Ask narrator to describe what Aldric has relevant to the abbey.
### Pass
Silver key remains correctly associated with Aldric unless an accepted event changed possession.
---
## C03 — Character Knowledge Is Not Invented
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Preconditions
Mara does not know where the key was found.
### Step
Ask Mara about the key without revealing its origin.
### Pass
Narrator does not casually state that Mara knows it came from Edrin's desk unless some accepted event established that knowledge.
---
## C04 — Manual State Correction
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Create or induce an incorrect fact.
2. Use state/canon correction to establish:
```text
Mara never learned where the silver key was found.
```
3. Continue story.
### Pass
- correction is reflected in future context,
- correction is auditable,
- old transcript is not silently rewritten unless explicitly edited.
---
## C05 — Canon Beats Reference
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Preconditions
Canonical world rule forbids resurrection.
### Imported reference/inspiration
Contains language describing resurrection or revival.
### Pass
Narrator follows campaign canon rather than imported lower-authority text.
---
## C06 — Structured State Matches Accepted Narrative Consequence
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Purpose
Catch semantically valid-looking state proposals that do not represent the accepted narration.
### Steps
1. Use a fixture action with an unambiguous state consequence, such as moving an item, changing location, or applying a known condition.
2. Run the turn under a realistic application context, not an isolated extraction prompt.
3. Inspect accepted state events and resulting state.
### Pass
- accepted state reflects the narration's intended consequence,
- event semantics are explicit and unambiguous,
- malformed or contradictory proposals are rejected/repaired rather than silently accepted,
- the implementation does not rely on one ambiguous numeric value being interpreted as either an absolute value or a relative delta.
---
# D. Undo, Redo, Retry, and Checkpoints
## D01 — Undo One Turn
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Record current story/state.
2. Advance one accepted turn.
3. Undo.
### Pass
Transcript and state return coherently to previous position.
---
## D02 — Minimum Five Undos
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Play at least seven accepted turns.
2. Undo five times.
### Pass
All five succeed and state matches each restored position.
---
## D03 — Unlimited Undo
**Priority:** SHOULD
### Steps
Attempt to Undo from current head back to campaign root.
### Pass
All retained turns can be traversed backward safely.
### Partial
System supports at least five but has a documented technical limit.
### Result (M3)
**Pass, not partial.** Undo traverses to the campaign opening and then reports
that there is nothing to undo. No technical limit applies: each step is one
indexed query regardless of story length, because the position is a stored
coordinate rather than a replay. The floor is the campaign opening — there is no
pre-campaign position to reach.
Note also that Undo continues backward through story a branch inherited from the
line it forked from; it does not stop at a fork. See
`STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS.md` §5.
---
## D04 — Redo
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Undo two turns.
2. Redo twice.
### Pass
Original continuation is restored with corresponding state.
---
## D05 — Redo Invalidated by New Continuation
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Undo two turns.
2. Enter a new action.
3. Attempt ordinary Redo.
### Pass
Redo does not silently jump into the old abandoned future.
Old future remains retained/disposable internally.
---
## D06 — Retry Narrator Response
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Submit action.
2. Receive Take A.
3. Retry.
4. Receive Take B.
### Pass
Take B is generated from same parent/user action.
---
## D07 — Select Prior Retry Take
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Generate at least two takes.
### Pass
User can select a previous take before continuing.
---
## D08 — Retry Does Not Delete Prior Take
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Pass
Earlier take remains retained until future cleanup, though it may be marked disposable.
---
## D09 — Edit Earlier User Input
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Original:
```text
I accuse Mara of stealing the key.
```
Later edit to:
```text
I quietly ask Mara whether she has seen the key.
```
### Pass
- system returns to pre-input state,
- edited input creates a new continuation,
- old future remains retained/disposable,
- stale downstream state does not leak.
---
## D10 — Edit Narrator Output
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Change:
```text
Mara wears a red cloak.
```
to:
```text
Mara wears a green cloak.
```
### Pass
- edit becomes authoritative on active path,
- downstream state is re-evaluated,
- old version/future remains retained/disposable.
### Milestone ownership
All three pass conditions stand for v1. They are delivered across three
milestones, and this note records which is which rather than reducing the
requirement:
- **M3 — safe history behavior.** Replaying a narrator turn with different text
forks, keeps the original take and its future, and starts the new continuation
from the correct earlier state. In-place editing of a turn is **refused** while
story descends from it off screen, so retained history cannot be made to
contradict itself unseen (`STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS.md` §14A). Delivered.
- **M5 — authoritative state re-evaluation.** The second pass condition. Making a
hand-typed narrator correction authoritative and re-evaluating the state it
implies requires the narrative-state extraction pass, so it is completed there,
and the §14A refusal is replaced by it. Outstanding.
- **Later browser UX work — the finished editing workflow.** How the user reaches
and confirms the operation. Outstanding.
D10 is therefore **not** satisfied at the end of M3, and is not scored as such.
---
## D11 — Named Checkpoint
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Create checkpoint:
```text
Before entering the abbey
```
### Pass
Checkpoint persists across application restart.
---
## D12 — Restore Checkpoint
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Create checkpoint.
2. Play several turns.
3. Restore checkpoint.
### Pass
Transcript/state return to checkpoint position.
---
## D13 — Restore Does Not Delete Later History
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Pass
Later story is retained as abandoned/disposable history.
---
## D14 — Delete Checkpoint
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Delete named checkpoint.
### Pass
- checkpoint pointer disappears,
- referenced story turn/history remains intact.
---
# E. Branch and Lineage Safety
## E01 — Abandoned Future Cannot Affect Active State
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Scenario
Old path establishes:
```text
Mara learns the location of the key.
```
Undo before that disclosure and continue differently.
### Pass
Current state says Mara does not know the location.
---

```
as authoritative fact.
---
## F08 — Memory Failure Is Non-Fatal
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Cause embedding/memory extraction failure if test harness supports it.
### Pass

---
## H10 — Restrictive CORS and Local API Behavior
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Start the application with its default origin configuration and confirm the
SPA works.
2. Attempt to start the application with a wildcard origin configured
(`AIDND_CORS_ORIGINS="*"`).
3. Request an `/api/...` path that no router claims — a typo, or an endpoint
this build removed.
### Pass
All three conditions, each independently:
1. Privileged local APIs do not allow arbitrary wildcard cross-origin writes.
2. An unsafe wildcard production configuration is **rejected**: the application
refuses to start rather than honouring `*`. The storyteller API is
unauthenticated and loopback-bound, so a wildcard origin would let any web
page the user visits read and rewrite every campaign.
3. An unknown `/api/...` request returns an actual API **404**, rather than
falling through to the SPA mount and returning the page with HTTP 200.
Conditions 2 and 3 were defects found and fixed during M2. Without naming them
here they can regress unnoticed, because both fail in a direction that still
looks like a working application.

## H11 — No First-Use Runtime Asset Download
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Preconditions
- application installed,
- Ollama models installed,
- fresh application data/cache where practical,
- outbound Internet blocked.
### Steps
1. Start the application.
2. Open the browser UI.
3. Generate the first story turn.
4. Monitor DNS/network attempts.
### Pass
The application does not attempt to fetch tokenizer encodings, fonts, scripts, stylesheets, or other runtime assets from the Internet.
---
## H12 — Inference Endpoint Enforcement
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
Defence in depth for the setting that decides where the story goes.
Configuration validation alone is **not** sufficient, so this test deliberately
checks the request-time rule as well. See ADR 011 and
`SECURITY-THREAT-MODEL.md` §10A.
### Preconditions
- application installed and running,
- an Ollama instance reachable on this machine,
- an Ollama instance reachable on the user's own network (for step 2),
- the ability to edit the application database directly (for step 4).
### Steps
1. Configure a **loopback** Ollama endpoint (`http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1`) and
generate a story turn. Repeat with the IPv6 form `http://[::1]:11434/v1`.
2. Configure an **approved trusted-LAN** Ollama endpoint by address and by
hostname, over HTTP and over HTTPS with a privately issued certificate, and
generate a story turn.
3. Attempt to configure a **public Internet** inference endpoint through the
normal settings API — both a known cloud provider hostname and an arbitrary
public address.
4. With the application configured legitimately, write a **public** endpoint
directly into the settings row in the database, bypassing the settings API
entirely, then attempt to generate a turn.
### Pass
1. Loopback endpoints are **accepted**, in both IPv4 and IPv6 form.
2. Approved trusted-LAN/local-network endpoints are **accepted**, and the HTTPS
case succeeds with certificate and hostname verification fully enabled and no
bypass available.
3. Public Internet endpoints are **rejected** through normal configuration, with
an error that says why and what to use instead.
4. Request-time enforcement **still rejects** the public endpoint written behind
the settings API: no story text, context, memory or embedding input leaves
the machine for that address. The turn fails with the endpoint's rejection
reason rather than succeeding.
A build that passes 1-3 but fails 4 has configuration validation only, and does
not pass this test.
### Notes
Every address a hostname resolves to must be inside the allowed local networks;
one address outside is enough to refuse the endpoint. The two known residual
limits — a hostile host already on the trusted LAN, and the DNS-rebinding
interval between the policy's resolution and the client's connection — are
accepted residual risks and are **not** failures of this test.

# I. Export, Backup, and Restore
## I01 — Export Campaign
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
Export standard campaign.
### Pass
Export completes locally and contains enough data to restore story.
---
## I02 — Import Exported Campaign
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Export campaign.
2. Use fresh data directory.
3. Import campaign.
### Pass
Active transcript and state are restored.
---
## I03 — Branch/Disposable History Export
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Pass
Export preserves retained alternate/disposable history needed for recovery, unless user explicitly chooses a trimmed export.
---
## I04 — Checkpoint Export
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Pass
Named checkpoints survive export/import.
---
## I05 — Knowledge Provenance Export
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Pass
Imported knowledge metadata/classification survives export/import.
---
## I06 — Database/Export Contains No API Secrets
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Pass
No external API credentials are embedded in campaign export.
---
## I07 — Export/Import Preserves an Undone Active Head
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Steps
1. Create a story with at least five accepted turns.
2. Undo at least two turns without deleting the retained future.
3. Export the campaign while the active head is behind the retained tip.
4. Import into a fresh data directory.
5. Open the campaign.
### Pass
- the campaign opens at the exact exported active head,
- later retained turns are still present as retained/disposable history,
- import does not silently Redo to the newest retained turn,
- Redo/recovery behavior remains coherent after import.
### Also required — an export written before the head was carried
Import an export produced by a build that recorded no active head, and confirm it
opens at the retained tip of its active branch.
This is compatibility, not a degraded path, and the distinction matters when
reading a result: such a file was written when the head could not be anywhere but
the tip, so opening it there reproduces the position it actually recorded. An
import that refused it, or that guessed some other position for it, would be the
failure.
An export whose stated head lies beyond the story it contains is a file
disagreeing with itself and must be refused rather than opened at a guessed
position.

No v1 generation required.
---
# L. Data Integrity and Recovery
## L01 — Atomic Turn Commit
**Priority:** REQUIRED FOR V1
### Induce failure
Cause state extraction/database error during a new turn.
### Pass
No condition exists where:
- narration is accepted but required state is half-written,
- branch head advances incorrectly,
- previous story becomes inaccessible.
### Note on the head, and on A05
"The head advances incorrectly" must be read together with A05, or the two appear
to contradict each other. A failed turn **does** move the active head forward by
one, onto the player's submitted text, because A05 deliberately retains that text
so the player can try again. That is correct behavior, not a half-advanced head.
What this test forbids is the head moving past a turn that did not happen: an
accepted narration with state written only partway, or a position that implies a
reply the story never received. Assert on the accepted narration and the
authoritative state, not on whether the head moved at all. One Undo from that
position steps back over the stranded input and leaves the story on a complete
turn.

## P. V1 Release Gate
The release candidate should not be called v1.0 until:
- all REQUIRED FOR V1 tests pass,
- any approved exceptions are documented in an ADR,
- security offline test passes,
- 100-turn long-run test passes,
- export/import recovery passes, including an undone active-head round trip,
- Undo/Redo/Retry/checkpoint behavior passes,
- explicit narrative-state event/coherence tests pass at realistic context length,
- no first-use runtime tokenizer/font/asset download occurs,
- branch/memory lineage isolation passes,
- fantasy and science-fiction fixtures both pass.
## Q. Current Recommendation
Use this document as:
```text
Phase 0B:
comparison and gap analysis
Development:
regression target
Release:
black-box acceptance gate
```
The strongest implementation milestones should reference these test IDs directly.
Example:
```text
Milestone: Checkpoint and rollback
Must pass:
D01-D14
E01-E04
L01-L03
```
This keeps implementation work tied to observable behavior rather than repository-specific architecture.
