COMPOSER-NOTES.md is a conversation: chronological, with my wrong turns kept
on purpose so nobody re-derives them. That is the right shape for us reading it
back and the wrong shape for anyone else, including Codex.
GDD.md is the other half -- the decided state without the journey. Seventeen
sections covering the premise, the core loop, the city, the depths, a strate,
descending, the economy, death, housing, the verbs, the season, the community
layer and the opening. Every section separates what Jahni decided from what is
still open, and design that is mine rather than his says so, so nothing reads
as settled that isn't.
Written deliberately plainer than the notes: prose rather than dense tables,
because a design document that only its authors can read has failed at the one
thing it exists for.
Also records why the file is in the wrong folder. This is a document about the
game, and most of it -- the city, combat, the economy, seasons -- is nothing to
do with VoxelForge. It lives in the plugin because the plugin is the only part
of the project under version control. It should move to the project root once
that becomes a repository.
