# BRIEFING — 2026-10-01T00:48:00Z

## Mission
Comprehensive audit of FreeExile game encyclopedia/wiki and documentation hygiene, identifying verbose lore clutter and mapping conversion to Diátaxis reference tables and strict line count compliance.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: explorer
- Roles: Wiki & Documentation Auditor, Technical Synthesizer
- Working directory: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_wiki_1
- Original parent: 20396639-15bc-4fc4-af33-31ae836db798
- Milestone: FreeExile UI/UX, i18n & Wiki Streamlining (2026-10-01T00:40:31Z)

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Read-only investigation — do NOT modify source code or docs outside .agents/teamwork/explorer_survey_wiki_1/
- Follow Diátaxis documentation framework (Tutorials, How-To, Reference, Explanation)
- Strict compliance with GEMINI.md doc hygiene standards (Soft cap 400 lines, Hard cap 600 lines, high-density specs, clickable file links)
- Communicate via send_message to caller agent (id: 20396639-15bc-4fc4-af33-31ae836db798)

## Investigation State
- **Explored paths**:
  - `wiki/` (37 markdown files: README.md, 14 in vi/, 11 in en/, 11 in zh/)
  - `docs/` (68 markdown files across architecture, game_design, standards, client, operations, adr, security)
  - `tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py`
  - `tools/lint/check_documentation_system.py`
- **Key findings**:
  - 100% of doc and wiki files comply with Hard Cap (<=600 lines). `docs/standards/ENGINEERING_STANDARDS_2026.md` is at 514 lines (warning level, soft cap 400 lines).
  - `docs/standards/POE2_GAMEPLAY_AND_ZONE_ARCHITECTURE.md` is missing YAML Frontmatter, causing `check_documentation_system.py` to FAIL.
  - 3 broken `file:///` links found in `wiki/` across all 3 language specs of `INVENTORY_STASH_AND_SPATIAL_GRID_SPECS.md` pointing to non-existent `server/world/consignment_vault.py` (actual: `server/trade/consignment_vault.py`).
  - 1 broken `file:///` link in `docs/design_requests/approved/DRQ-20260929-FERAL-NPC-CAST.md` pointing to `docs/NPC_SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md` (actual: `docs/game_design/NPC_SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md`).
  - `wiki/vi/` has 14 files, but `wiki/en/` and `wiki/zh/` only have 11 files (3 files missing: `ECONOMIC_BALANCE_AND_ANTI_INFLATION_SPECS.md`, `ENDGAME_WORLD_MAP_AND_CONTENT_SPECS.md`, `MAP_PROCGEN_WARFOG_ANTIBOT_GUIDE.md`).
  - `wiki/vi/` files are 2-3x longer than EN/ZH due to verbose lore narratives, flowery prose, and Midjourney prompt blocks (e.g. `MAPS_DUNGEONS...` has 214 lines with 0 table lines).
  - Formulated full Diátaxis Reference Conversion Map with 5 concrete Markdown tables for Characters, Maps/Zones, Weapons, Currencies, and Monsters/Bosses.
- **Unexplored areas**: None. Comprehensive survey completed.

## Key Decisions Made
- Structured the entire handoff into the 5-component standard (Observation, Logic Chain, Caveats, Conclusion, Verification Method).
- Provided ready-to-use Diátaxis Reference tables and schemas in handoff.md.
