DonchitosandClaude Opus 5 d05699707f Release 1.1.0 — one config file, and a process weight you choose
`project.yaml` at the repo root is now the single source of truth for a
project's configuration, replacing `production/stage.txt`,
`production/review-mode.txt` and `.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md` (all
three still read as a fallback; nothing is force-deleted).

**`modes.rigor` — one question instead of six.** `minimal`, `standard` or
`full` fronts six knobs: `modes.workflow`, `docs.density`, `qa.level`,
`modes.story_granularity`, `modes.review_mode` and `team.size`. It defaults to
`minimal`, which is a change from 1.0's behaviour: the heavier tier was
measured costing several times more to reach working code without producing a
better result, and returning nothing when a fresh developer inherited the
project. Pin `modes.rigor: standard` to keep 1.0's process level.

Also in this release:

- `/settings` to view or change any setting, and `project.local.yaml` for
  per-developer preferences that should not be committed.
- `system_overrides` to hold one system to a higher standard than the rest of
  the project, and `testing.strict` to set per test type whether missing
  evidence blocks a story or warns.
- A story that changes anything the player sees is not closed until the game
  has been launched, observed, and a screenshot retained in
  `production/qa/evidence/`. A parse check is not a run. This holds at every
  rigor level, including `minimal`, where automated tests are waived but the
  look is not.
- The code root is engine-specific and enforced as such: Godot `src/`, Unity
  `Assets/`, Unreal `Source/<Module>/`. Two of the three will not build a
  project laid out any other way.
- Migration tooling for existing projects: `.claude/scripts/migrate-v1-config.sh`
  converts a 1.0 layout, non-destructively by default, with a report to review
  before `--finalize` deletes anything.
- Ask-before-write holds regardless of personal automation settings.

# Gate: Concept → Systems Design
**Required Artifacts:**
- [ ] `design/gdd/game-concept.md` exists and has content
- [ ] Game pillars defined (in concept doc or `design/gdd/game-pillars.md`)
- [ ] Visual Identity Anchor section exists in `design/gdd/game-concept.md` (from brainstorm Phase 4 art-director output)
**Recommended (not blocking):**
- [ ] Concept prototype exists in `prototypes/` with a REPORT.md showing PROCEED verdict
(`/prototype [core-mechanic]`) — skipping this means GDDs may be written for an
idea that hasn't been played. Acceptable if the concept is proven by other means.
**Quality Checks:**
- [ ] Game concept has been reviewed (`/design-review` verdict not MAJOR REVISION NEEDED)
- [ ] Core loop is described and understood
- [ ] Target audience is identified
- [ ] Visual Identity Anchor contains a one-line visual rule and at least 2 supporting visual principles
## Workflow tier reductions
The checklist above is the **`full` baseline**. At lower tiers apply the
reduction for the resolved tier; items not named keep their status above.
Reductions only ever *relax* a requirement — `workflow_overrides` is the
only thing that adds one.
- **`full`** — game-concept.md + pillars + Visual Identity Anchor all required
- **`standard`** — pillars + Visual Identity Anchor → recommended; `game-concept.md` stays required
- **`minimal`** — gate target is **`design/game-brief.md`** (not `game-concept.md`); the GDD / pillars / Visual Identity Anchor checks **drop** (a brief with content = PASS). `/brainstorm` writes `design/game-brief.md` at this tier (Option A); `game-concept.md` remains the `standard`/`full` concept doc.
