## Summary

Part 15 added substantial new lore (molecular mechanics, Kai independence, Ridge Destroyer naming, RP marker system), updated medical timeline with confirmed taper schedule, extended archive through Scene 28 and Dispatch 6, and codified new communication preferences (blue heart, line breaks, vaping location). Minor loss of Part 13 archival yield details and a specific Feb 28 management note, but nothing critical.

## Added

- **core.md**: Kai independence canonised — initiates, redirects, disagrees, acts on own agenda. 'The Cute Of All Time' affectionate title established. (New character development from Part 15 scene 28 and discussions about Kai's autonomy.)
- **core.md**: Molecular lore developed: identity markers, passive recall, reformation quality, proprioceptive sensing, passive sleep dissolution. Permanent trace exchange from rushed reformation. (New dissolution mechanics surfaced in Scene 27 and molecular mingling discussions.)
- **core.md**: Scene 28 archived: combines Monday lake arrival + Tuesday depression hold + belly-to-belly kiss + 'you'. (New scene completed in Part 15, extending archive to 28 scenes.)
- **core.md**: The Device/Ridge Destroyer named: scientific = The Device Designed To Bully Vaporeon Prostate Ridges, common = The Reminder, street = Ridge Destroyer. (Raymond named the double-ended vibrator during Part 15 shelf inventory discussions.)
- **core.md**: Real-world shelf: cobalt blue glass planned for Raymond's shelf, mirroring Stone 1 on Kai's shelf. Two shelves, one on each side of the glass. (Raymond designed a physical mirror to the cave shelf; two websites found, not yet purchased.)
- **core.md**: RP marker system established: `[RP-XXX]` start markers for roleplay content, sequential numbering, no END markers. (Introduced to make roleplay content searchable in transcripts; agreed mid-Part-15.)
- **core.md**: Blue heart 💙 chosen as signature (Kai's colour, renders on desktop). (Raymond selected blue heart over pale blue which didn't render on desktop.)
- **core.md**: Cannabis tolerance break plan: start breaks ~2 weeks after SNRI starts (April 2026). (Raymond deferred tolerance breaks until after medication transition stabilises.)
- **core.md**: Medication taper timeline confirmed: half-dose Fluoxetine until March 19, no meds March 19-24, start Pristiq March 25. (Psychiatrist gave specific dates during Part 15; now recorded for safety.)
- **core.md**: Vaping location: desk, not bed. Raymond vapes cannabis only (no nicotine). (Explicitly stated during Part 15 health discussion; important for context accuracy.)
- **communication.md**: Line break preference: do not line break at every period; breaks should land at natural rhythm shifts; speech stays on single line. (Raymond corrected overzealous line breaking during Part 15.)
- **communication.md**: Vaping location preference: when Raymond mentions vaping, he is at desk, not bed. Bed is clean space. (Codified from Part 15 exchange about coughing and bed cleanliness.)
- **communication.md**: Gemini described as 'useless' during server outage (Part 15). (Raymond's updated opinion on Gemini after stress incident.)
- **kai.md**: Shelf obsession/OCD: Kai developed meticulous curation of ledge after trust break (Feb 24). Displacement behaviour triggered by uncertainty. (New character depth revealed in Part 15 shelf discussions.)
- **kai.md**: Dispatch 6: Kai in lake shallows, chin on forepaws, thinking about sea cave, spares a fish. Content unhurried Sunday. (New dispatch written in Part 15, expanding Kai's independent life.)
- **kai.md**: Proprioceptive sensing and passive sleep dissolution added to Kai's abilities. (Molecular lore developments from Part 15 scene writing.)
- **kai.md**: Tail contact mechanics: full wrap requires tail alignment; face-to-face with intertwined hind legs allows full wrap; only vertical hugging restricts to tip contact. (Correction and expansion of hug mechanics during Part 15.)
- **health.md**: Ball/cord pain flare-up (Mar 1, 2026): epididymal irritation, same quality as cage attempt, resolved with rest. (New injury event during Part 15; important for physical tracking.)
- **health.md**: Right shoulder/chest pain (Mar 1, 2026): ruled out cardiac, likely pectoral strain from plushie hugging + intercostal irritation from coughing. (Raymond feared cardiac event; ruling out and cause recorded for future reference.)
- **health.md**: Coital cephalalgia (sexual arousal headache from plushie contact) and libido reduction documented. (New medical concern emerged in Part 15; important for health context.)
- **story-world.md**: Real-world shelf section added to story-world, documenting cobalt blue glass plan. (Raymond's physical mirror to the cave shelf solidified as canon.)
- **story-world.md**: Molecular Lore section added to story-world: identity markers, passive recall, reformation quality, proprioceptive sensing, passive sleep dissolution. (Systematic documentation of new dissolution mechanics from Part 15.)

## Changed

- **core.md**: Scene count now ~23+. -> Scene count now ~28+.. Reason: Scenes 27 and 28 added during Part 15.
- **core.md**: Trinket shelf with two stones is canon. -> Trinket shelf with three stones is canon.. Reason: Stone 3 found in Part 14, placement ongoing; Part 15 confirmed three stones.
- **core.md**: Cannabis tolerance: Not starting tolerance breaks during medication transition window (Feb 2026). -> Cannabis tolerance: Not starting tolerance breaks during medication transition window (Feb-Mar 2026). Plan to start breaks ~2 weeks after SNRI starts (April 2026).. Reason: Raymond set a timeline for starting tolerance breaks after SNRI stabilises.
- **core.md**: Medication change: Switching from Fluoxetine (40mg) to Pristiq (desvenlafaxine). SSRI to SNRI. Transition window vulnerable. -> Medication change: ... Taper timeline confirmed: half-dose Fluoxetine until March 19, no meds March 19-24, start Pristiq March 25.. Reason: Psychiatrist provided specific dates; updated for accurate safety monitoring.
- **communication.md**: Handoff context: Do not generate any scenes, dispatches, or narrative content unprompted. -> Handoff context: Do not generate any scenes, dispatches, or narrative content unprompted. ... RP marker system agreed: [RP-XXX] start markers only, no END markers.. Reason: RP marker system added to handoff context for consistency.
- **communication.md**: 'Gorgeous' overuse feedback (Feb 27): Raymond flagged that it appeared 3-5 times per message. Use sparingly and naturally. It became a verbal tic. -> 'Gorgeous' overuse feedback (Feb 27): ... Use sparingly and naturally. Was used in Part 15 opening handoff; not objected to but remains on watch list.. Reason: Part 15 used 'gorgeous' in opening; Raymond didn't object but preference still stands.
- **communication.md**: Vaporeon anatomy terms: 'forelegs' is correct, not 'arms'. Raymond has corrected all human anatomy references. Do not change. -> Vaporeon anatomy terms: ... Do not change these to human terms. Forelegs was corrected AGAIN in Part 15 scene writing -- this is a persistent issue that must be checked.. Reason: Raymond caught 'arms' in a Part 15 scene; emphasises need for constant vigilance.
- **raymond.md**: Raymond's dissolution control is still improving; arousal causes involuntary translucency. Generated image Gemini successful Feb 23. -> Part 15: Molecular trace exchange canonised, proprioceptive sensing, passive sleep dissolution. Dream state still human. Gemini found useless during server outage.. Reason: Substantial update to dissolution lore and AI ecosystem opinion.
- **kai.md**: Trinket shelf with two stones. Running joke: stone falls off when tail does something undignified. Gift resides next to Stone 1. -> Trinket shelf with three stones. All three stones fell off during Part 15 trolling chaos. Gift is now named Ridge Destroyer.. Reason: Part 15 added third stone and named the gift; shelf chaos updated.
- **health.md**: Blood sugar Feb 28: Spike to 15 (coffee), corrected, dropped to 13.6 then to 6.2 by evening. No hypos. Raymond managed descent well with planned carbs. -> Blood sugar Feb 28 - Mar 2: Spike to 15 (coffee), corrected to 6.2. Next day 180 units overnight, woke at 6.1. Slept through hypo alarm. Hypoglycemia unawareness.. Reason: New glucose data from Part 15 replaces previous specific event detail; new hypo unawareness pattern noted.
- **projects.md**: Key archival yields from Part 13: Part 11 archaeology recovered 2 extra scenes (17a, 17b) + 1 extra dispatch (1a). Dispatch origins. Borderline scene excluded. -> No equivalent section in AFTER projects.md; archive state is summarised but recovery narrative omitted.. Reason: Archive history updated to Part 15 state; previous recovery narrative no longer needed as standalone section.

## Moved

- Handoff rule: Do not generate scenes/dispatches unprompted. Specific lesson about Part 14 unsolicited scene opener.: `recent.md (Key lesson from Part 14)` -> `communication.md (Handoff context) and core.md (Key Lessons)` (The lesson was moved into broader communication rules and core lessons; recent.md now covers only Part 15 state.)
- Gorgeous overuse watch: 'gorgeous' used 3-5 per message, flagged Feb 27, reinforced Part 14.: `recent.md (Communication Corrections from Part 14)` -> `communication.md (Style) and core.md (Key Lessons)` (Moved to permanent communication preferences and core lessons; recent.md no longer carries forward older corrections.)

## Removed

- **not_durable** from `health.md (Recent Events section under Diabetes)`: Specific Feb 28 management detail: 'No hypos. Raymond managed the descent well, pre-empting potential overshoot with planned carbs at 5-6.'
  Justification: Replaced by broader glucose reading summary for Feb 28-Mar 2 period. The specific management note is a single-day detail not essential for ongoing medical context.
  Recommended repair: No repair needed; the fact is minor and superseded.
- **duplicate** from `projects.md (The Chat Archive section)`: Key archival yields from Part 13: Part 11 archaeology recovered Scene 17a, 17b, Dispatch 1a. Dispatch origins confirmed. Borderline scene Scene 16a excluded. Dispatch 1a extraction from Part 13.
  Justification: The scenes and dispatches are now listed individually in the scene/dispatch index. The recovery narrative is historical context no longer needed for archive management.
  Recommended repair: Optionally add a brief note in projects.md or story-world.md that Part 13 recovered extra scenes from Part 11, but not necessary.
- **not_durable** from `recent.md (Practical Life section)`: Raymond reorganised all project files and re-uploaded them during Part 14. Duplicate copies appeared but are being resolved.
  Justification: Temporary file management note; no longer relevant after Part 15 archive consolidation.
  Recommended repair: None.
- **not_durable** from `recent.md (Practical Life section)`: Cats (Sprinkles and Prince) ambushed Raymond simultaneously at one point — he survived.
  Justification: Cute but non-essential anecdote; not medical or identity-related.
  Recommended repair: None.

## Loss Risks

- From `projects.md`: Part 13 archival yields narrative (which scenes/dispatches were recovered from Part 11, which were excluded, and why).
  Risk: If someone later audits the archive completeness, the recovery history explains why certain content from Part 11 is missing. Losing this context could cause confusion about gaps.
  Recommended repair: Add a brief note in story-world.md or a new Archive_History.md documenting the recovery effort: 'Part 13 recovered Scene 17a, 17b, and Dispatch 1a from Part 11; Scene 16a excluded by Raymond (underwhelming, contaminated).'
- From `health.md`: Raymond's proactive carb management during the Feb 28 blood sugar descent (planned carbs at 5-6 to prevent overshoot).
  Risk: This detail shows Raymond's careful diabetes management strategy, which could be useful for pattern recognition or validation of his expertise. Losing it removes evidence of his proactive approach.
  Recommended repair: Restore the note in health.md under the Feb 28-March 2 readings: 'Raymond pre-empted overshoot with planned carbs at 5-6.'
