M1 PR2 — Playable Loop Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Ship PR2 (feat/m1-playable-loop): hybrid story graph engine, story content schema, full-window StoryPanel, upgraded ActionPanel (queue/cancel/disabled/hints), player prefs, stub A/B branch — closing Gitea #5 and #6.
Architecture: Pure src/engine/story.ts handles triggers, choices, and outcomes; GameState gains story fields persisted in save v1. Runtime calls evaluateTriggers after boot, publish, and action completion (via tickGame return value). UI reads an expanded view model; prefs live in localStorage via src/state/prefs.ts.
Tech Stack: TypeScript strict, Vitest, Zod 4, Biome, pnpm, React 19, Zustand, Tailwind 4.
Parent spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-11-m1-pr2-playable-loop-design.md
Branch: feat/m1-playable-loop off main.

Task 1: GameState story fields
Files:
-
Modify:
src/engine/game.ts -
Modify:
src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts -
Step 1: Write the failing test
Add to src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts:
describe('createGameState() story fields', () => {
it('initializes empty story state', () => {
const content = testContent();
const state = createGameState(content);
expect(state.storyFlags).toEqual({});
expect(state.currentStoryNodeId).toBe('');
expect(state.seenStoryNodeIds).toEqual([]);
});
});
- Step 2: Run test to verify it fails
Run: pnpm test src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts -t "story fields"
Expected: FAIL — properties undefined.
- Step 3: Extend GameState and createGameState
In src/engine/game.ts:
export interface GameState {
resources: Record<string, number>;
activeActionId: string | null;
actionElapsedMs: number;
actionQueue: string[];
storyFlags: Record<string, boolean>;
currentStoryNodeId: string;
seenStoryNodeIds: string[];
}
export function createGameState(content: Content): GameState {
const resources: Record<string, number> = {};
for (const resource of content.resources) {
resources[resource.id] = resource.startAmount;
}
return {
resources,
activeActionId: null,
actionElapsedMs: 0,
actionQueue: [],
storyFlags: {},
currentStoryNodeId: '',
seenStoryNodeIds: [],
};
}
Update isActionAvailable / canUnlockAction call sites inside game.ts to pass state.storyFlags instead of default {}:
if (isActionAvailable(state, content, nextId)) {
and:
if (!isActionAvailable(state, content, actionId)) {
Remove the default storyFlags = {} parameter from exported canUnlockAction and isActionAvailable — always require explicit flags from callers (tests pass state.storyFlags).
- Step 4: Run tests
Run: pnpm test src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts
Expected: PASS (fix any test createGameState expectations).
- Step 5: Commit
git add src/engine/game.ts src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(engine): add story fields to GameState"
Task 2: tickGame reports completed actions
Files:
-
Modify:
src/engine/game.ts -
Modify:
src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts -
Step 1: Write the failing test
describe('tickGame() completion result', () => {
it('returns the id of each action that completed this tick', () => {
const content = testContent();
const state = createGameState(content);
enqueueAction(state, content, 'forage');
const result = tickGame(state, content, 300);
expect(result.completedActionIds).toEqual(['forage']);
expect(state.activeActionId).toBeNull();
});
it('returns an empty array when nothing completes', () => {
const content = testContent();
const state = createGameState(content);
enqueueAction(state, content, 'forage');
const result = tickGame(state, content, 100);
expect(result.completedActionIds).toEqual([]);
});
});
- Step 2: Run test to verify it fails
Run: pnpm test src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts -t "completion result"
Expected: FAIL — no return value / wrong shape.
- Step 3: Implement return value
Change signature and track completions in tickGame:
export interface TickResult {
completedActionIds: string[];
}
export function tickGame(state: GameState, content: Content, tickMs: number): TickResult {
const completedActionIds: string[] = [];
if (!state.activeActionId) return { completedActionIds };
state.actionElapsedMs += tickMs;
while (state.activeActionId) {
const actionId = state.activeActionId;
const action = content.actionsById[actionId];
if (!action) return { completedActionIds };
if (state.actionElapsedMs < action.durationMs) return { completedActionIds };
state.actionElapsedMs -= action.durationMs;
grantYields(state, content, actionId);
completedActionIds.push(actionId);
startNextFromQueue(state, content);
}
return { completedActionIds };
}
Refactor: inline completeActiveAction body into the loop above (or have completeActiveAction return the completed id). Update applyOfflineProgress in save.ts to ignore the return value:
tickGame(state, content, TICK_MS);
- Step 4: Run engine tests
Run: pnpm test src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts src/engine/__tests__/save.test.ts
Expected: PASS
- Step 5: Commit
git add src/engine/game.ts src/engine/__tests__/game.test.ts src/engine/save.ts
git commit -m "feat(engine): tickGame returns completed action ids for story triggers"
Task 3: Story content schema

it('requires exactly one boot trigger', () => {

});
- Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail
Run: pnpm test src/content/__tests__/storySchema.test.ts

- Step 4: Run tests
Run: pnpm test src/content/__tests__/storySchema.test.ts
Expected: PASS
- Step 5: Commit
git add src/content/storySchema.ts src/content/__tests__/storySchema.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(content): add Zod story graph schema and validation"
Task 4: Action narrative fields + merged GameContent
Files:
-
Modify:
src/content/schema.ts -
Modify:
src/content/index.ts -
Modify:
src/content/__tests__/schema.test.ts -
Step 1: Write the failing test
Add to src/content/__tests__/schema.test.ts:
it('accepts optional storyHint and storyTooltip on actions', () => {
const content = buildContent({
resources: [{ id: 'gold', name: 'Gold' }],
actions: [
{
id: 'forage',
name: 'Forage',
durationMs: 3000,
yields: [{ resourceId: 'gold', amount: 1 }],
storyHint: 'Pick herbs along the trail.',
storyTooltip: 'Yields +1 Gold. Safe choice.',
},
],
});
expect(content.actionsById.forage.storyHint).toBe('Pick herbs along the trail.');
});
- Step 2: Run test to verify it fails
Run: pnpm test src/content/__tests__/schema.test.ts -t "storyHint"
Expected: FAIL
- Step 3: Extend action schema and GameContent export
In schema.ts:
export const actionDefSchema = z.object({
id: z.string().min(1),
name: z.string().min(1),
durationMs: z.number().positive(),
costs: z.array(resourceAmountSchema).default([]),
yields: z.array(resourceAmountSchema).min(1),
unlock: unlockDefSchema.optional(),
storyHint: z.string().min(1).optional(),
storyTooltip: z.string().min(1).optional(),

In index.ts:
import { actionDefs, resourceDefs } from './definitions';
import { buildContent, type Content } from './schema';
import { buildStoryContent, type StoryContent } from './storySchema';
import { storyNodeDefs } from './story';
const base = buildContent({ resources: resourceDefs, actions: actionDefs });
const story = buildStoryContent(storyNodeDefs, base.actionsById, base.resourcesById);
export type GameContent = Content & StoryContent;
export const content: GameContent = { ...base, ...story };
Create a minimal placeholder src/content/story.ts for now (Task 18 replaces with full stub):
export const storyNodeDefs = [
{
id: 'boot_intro',
prose: 'Placeholder boot.',
triggers: [{ type: 'boot', targetNodeId: 'boot_intro' }],
},
];
Update engine/content imports: change Content to GameContent where story APIs need story nodes — or export GameContent as the runtime content type. For minimal churn, add GameContent in schema.ts re-export from index and use GameContent in story.ts engine module.
- Step 4: Run tests
Run: pnpm test src/content/__tests__/schema.test.ts
Expected: PASS

- Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail
Run: pnpm test src/engine/__tests__/story.test.ts
Expected: FAIL
- Step 3: Implement outcomes + enterStoryNode + initStory
Create src/engine/story.ts:

state.storyFlags = state.storyFlags ?? {};
state.seenStoryNodeIds = state.seenStoryNodeIds ?? [];
if (!state.currentStoryNodeId) {
state.currentStoryNodeId = '';
}
}
Use a type-only import pattern if circular — GameContent from content/index is fine in engine tests; engine story.ts should import StoryContent & Content as:
import type { GameContent } from '../content/index';
If Biome/lint complains about content importing engine, define StoryContent + Content intersection locally:
import type { Content } from '../content/schema';
import type { StoryContent } from '../content/storySchema';
type GameContent = Content & StoryContent;

useGameStore.getState().setPrefs(prefs);
const bootEffect = processStoryTriggers(this.state, content, { reason: 'boot' }, prefs);
this.applyStoryUiEffect(bootEffect);

expect(isActionAvailable(state, content, 'push_onward')).toBe(true);
});
});
- Step 2: Replace story.ts with full stub graph
export const storyNodeDefs = [
{
id: 'boot_intro',
prose: '[Stub] You wake at a crossroads camp. Smoke rises from a cold fire pit.',
triggers: [{ type: 'boot', targetNodeId: 'boot_intro' }],
},
{
id: 'fork_choice',
prose: '[Stub] Tracks split. The high road climbs; the low road bends toward the river.',
choices: [
{
id: 'pick_a',
label: 'Take the high road',
outcomes: [
{ type: 'setFlag', flag: 'route_a' },
{ type: 'grantResource', resourceId: 'supplies', amount: 3 },
],
targetNodeId: 'route_a_beat',
},
{
id: 'pick_b',
label: 'Follow the river',
outcomes: [
{ type: 'setFlag', flag: 'route_b' },
{ type: 'grantResource', resourceId: 'coin', amount: 2 },
],
targetNodeId: 'route_b_beat',
},
],
},
{ id: 'route_a_beat', prose: '[Stub] Route A: high ground, extra supplies.' },
{ id: 'route_b_beat', prose: '[Stub] Route B: river trade, extra coin.' },
{
id: 'threshold_listener',
prose: '',
triggers: [{ type: 'minResources', minResources: { coin: 3 }, targetNodeId: 'merchant_flavor' }],
},
{ id: 'merchant_flavor', prose: '[Stub] A merchant remembers your face.' },
{
id: 'scout_listener',
prose: '',
triggers: [{ type: 'actionComplete', actionId: 'scout_path', targetNodeId: 'scout_aftermath' }],
},
{ id: 'scout_aftermath', prose: '[Stub] The path is mapped.' },
];
Boot flow: after boot_intro fires, runtime needs to advance player to fork — add enterOutcomes or second boot step. Fix: boot trigger targets boot_intro; on Continue player stays until we add auto-chain OR boot_intro has no choices and continueStory calls enterStoryNode(state, content, 'fork_choice') from runtime. Simpler: boot trigger targets fork_choice directly OR boot_intro choices empty with enterOutcomes that don't auto-advance — simplest stub fix: set boot targetNodeId: 'fork_choice' and move intro prose to fork's enterOutcomes log, OR chain: boot_intro prose only, player clicks Continue → runtime advances to fork_choice via continueStory calling enterStoryNode(state, content, 'fork_choice').
Plan explicit behavior in continueStory:
continueStory(): void {
const state = this.state;
if (!state) return;
if (state.currentStoryNodeId === 'boot_intro') {
enterStoryNode(state, content, 'fork_choice');
// apply UI effect...
}
this.closeStoryPanel();
this.publish();
}
- Step 3: Update definitions.ts
Add push_onward:
{
id: 'push_onward',
name: 'Push onward',
durationMs: 6000,
costs: [{ resourceId: 'supplies', amount: 2 }],
yields: [{ resourceId: 'coin', amount: 3 }],
unlock: { requireStoryFlags: ['route_b'] },
storyHint: 'Follow the river route.',
storyTooltip: 'Costs 2 Supplies. Yields 3 Coin. Route B only.',
},
Update fortify_camp:
unlock: { minResources: { supplies: 8 }, requireStoryFlags: ['route_a'] },
storyHint: 'Walls for the high road camp.',
storyTooltip: 'Route A only. Costs supplies and coin.',
Add hints to other actions similarly.
- Step 4: Run tests
Run: pnpm test src/content/__tests__/story.test.ts
Expected: PASS
- Step 5: Commit
git add src/content/story.ts src/content/definitions.ts src/content/__tests__/story.test.ts src/state/runtime.ts
git commit -m "feat(content): stub story graph with A/B branch and route-gated actions"
Task 18: Architecture doc and verification gate
Files:
-
Modify:
docs/architecture.md -
Step 1: Update architecture.md
Add bullets:
- `story.ts`: story graph traversal, triggers (boot, actionComplete, minResources), choices, outcomes.
- `storyOrchestration.ts`: evaluates triggers after boot/publish/action completion; maps prefs to panel auto-open.
- Player prefs (`prefs.ts`) in localStorage — not in save v1.
- Step 2: Run full pre-PR chain
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm test:coverage
pnpm build
Expected: all green; src/engine/ coverage ≥ 80%.
- Step 3: Manual playtest checklist
pnpm dev— boot story auto-opens (default pref).- Continue from boot → fork → pick A vs B → different resources and unlocked actions.
- Queue 3 actions → cancel middle → order respected.
- Scout path completes → scout aftermath story fires.
- Earn 3 coin → merchant flavor fires.
- Settings → manual story mode → new beats badge only.
- Reload → story flags, node, queue preserved.
- Step 4: Commit
git add docs/architecture.md
git commit -m "docs: document story engine and PR2 playable loop"
Task 19: Open PR
Files: none (git + Gitea)
- Step 1: Push branch
git checkout -b feat/m1-playable-loop
git push -u origin feat/m1-playable-loop
- Step 2: Create PR
Title: feat(m1): playable loop — story graph, story panel, queue UI
Body:
## Summary
- Story graph engine with hybrid triggers and A/B branch (#6)
- Full-window StoryPanel with VN layout and story log
- ActionPanel queue list, cancel, disabled states, hints/tooltips (#5)
- Player prefs: story-open mode and action-detail mode
- Stub story graph proving route-exclusive actions
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test:coverage && pnpm build`
- [x] Route A vs B → different flags, resources, unlocked actions
- [x] Queue cancel works
- [x] Reload preserves story + queue
- [x] Engine coverage ≥ 80%
Closes #5
Closes #6
- Step 3: Verify CI green on PR branch
Expected: Gitea Actions CI / verify passes.

| Queue UI cancel/disabled | Task 14 |
| Player prefs + Settings | Tasks 9, 16 |
| Stub A/B branch + route actions | Task 17 |
| storyFlags wired to unlocks | Tasks 1, 10, 17 |
| Architecture docs | Task 18 |
| Closes #5, #6 | Task 19 |
Placeholder scan: none.
Type consistency: GameContent used in engine story module and view model; TickResult.completedActionIds consumed in runtime; store GameView extended consistently in Task 10–11.
Execution handoff
Plan complete and saved to docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-11-m1-pr2-playable-loop.md. Two execution options:
1. Subagent-Driven (recommended) — dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration
2. Inline Execution — execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints
Which approach, senpai?
