Changelog

Version history for the Laternia campaign system.

[1.2.0]

Quality Gate Fixes

• Editor and Lorekeeper now save review files (session_NN_editor_review.md, session_NN_lore_review.md) for every session — auditable record of what they found
• Editor now checks session reports against the adventure file for content invention — flags creatures, NPCs, mechanics, and plot elements not in the source material
• New content_invention_flags field in Editor output catches DM drift before it propagates to the wiki

Session Loop Fix

• Game loop now detects when the DM declares "SESSION ENDS HERE" and breaks immediately — prevents the DM from generating 10+ redundant epilogue blocks past the session boundary
• Pattern matches common DM end markers: "session ends here", "end of session", "session complete"

Site Polish

• ASCII art castle on homepage (randomized from pool at build time)
• ASCII LATERNIA logo as homepage title
• "by Max Capacity" attribution
• Campaign/adventure line moved below castle art
• Skull ASCII art on 404 page with Oregon Trail reference
• LATERNIA footer logo
• Wiki links resolved in homepage teaser text
• Party list shows character classes
• Dim text brightened for readability
• Session count and campaign line in main text color

[1.1.0]

DM Agent Hardening

• Pacing identity baked into DM backstory — anti-compression as core personality trait
• Content fidelity rule — DM cannot invent creatures, entities, or plot elements not in adventure files
• NPC name fidelity rule — DM must use exact names from adventure scripts
• Third-person POV locked in DM narration

Character Improvements

• Professor Mercer expanded with 6 emotional modes (fear, frustration, quiet awe, dry humor, self-doubt)
• "Fascinating!" hard-capped to once per session

Adventure File Rewrites

• Adventures 1–3 rewritten to match Adventure 4's prescriptive density
• Added character-specific beats, emotional session boundaries, DM Notes sections
• Added explicit content constraints per adventure (e.g., "JUST RATS", "JUST A CORRIDOR")
• Added HARD STOP rules at session boundaries to prevent compression

Site Improvements

• Homepage title deduplication fix
• 404 page
• Flattened URL structure — removed /run-N/ layer, now /campaigns/sessions/NN/
• Act groupings in progress bars (I–IV)
• Future adventure titles hidden as ??? with next-adventure teaser
• Homepage reordered: party → story → latest session → quests → progress
• Overall progress bar moved to top of homepage
• Latest Session card with teaser text from session report
• Readable teaser text color

Automation

• Nightly scheduled task (nightly-session) — runs one session daily at 8pm Pacific

[1.0.0]

The Campaign System

• Multi-agent D&D pipeline: DM, three PC agents (Cora Flint, Garrick Kade, Prof. Mercer), Rules Keeper
• Raw session log capture (TeeWriter to session_NN_log.txt)
• Campaign state persistence (campaign_state.json)
• --all-deepseek flag for low-cost runs (~$0.05/session)

Post-Session Agents

• Scribe — narrative session reports written from gameplay transcript
• Wiki Keeper — encyclopedia entries extracted from each session
• Lorekeeper — NPC name consistency pass, encyclopedic wiki rewrites, end-of-adventure deduplication
• Editor — fact-checks Scribe and Wiki Keeper outputs against the gameplay transcript; find/replace correction system

Campaign Structure

• 20-adventure arc across 4 Acts, milestone leveling (levels 1–20)
• 3 sessions per adventure, 60 sessions total
• Adventure advancement logic with session tracking per adventure

Site

• Custom Python static site generator (site_builder.py) — zero external dependencies beyond markdown

• Session reports, raw transcripts, full campaign wiki, readme, changelog
• Session nav bar (« SESSION NN | CAMPAIGN | SESSION NN ») on every session page
• Campaign progress bars with per-adventure status
• Auto git publish after each session (git_publish.py) — commits docs/ and output/, pushes to origin
• Deployed via GitHub + Vercel
