S13 · Onboarding, recurring play and catch-up

Current implementation: Zero-start onboarding, selected intentions, carried weekly charters, campaign records and six event definitions are installed.

Outstanding acceptance: Definitions do not establish all daily/weekly/monthly briefs, returning-player routes or repeat-play depth.

The four requirements below preserve the original release target. Their historic baseline is not used as a current completion score. This page does not mark the entire stream complete merely because related components are installed.

Reference

Requirement	Required deliverable	Acceptance standard
S13.01 · Build newcomer and alternative career onboarding	Create real first-session instruction, meaningful early choices, practice and zero-money recovery.	An unfamiliar player reaches a self-chosen next goal without tester-controlled accounts, setup inventory or designer intervention.
S13.02 · Implement daily, weekly and monthly systems	Create chosen intentions, charters, scheduled phenomena, eligibility, banking and useful repeat work.	Rewards do not create NPC currency faucets, punish ordinary absence, or invalidate helping others after a weekly goal completes.
S13.03 · Implement six calendar/world-event briefs	Create triggers, schedules, variants, completion, recurrence, per-player receipts and permanent history where applicable.	An entire live calendar cycle runs correctly across time zones and restarts; temporary opportunities do not hide essential permanent access.
S13.04 · Build returning and post-clear onboarding	Summarize changed rules, preserve legacy identity, provide valid progression routes and appropriate reconfiguration.	A new player after the first clear and a long-absent player can progress without fake resets of shared history or free tradable endgame grants.
