-## Project
+The canonical stories, engineering guidance, and **all process documents** are in the private [SoMC OKF wiki](https://git.garvis.dev/dmg/somc-okf/src/branch/main/index.md).
 
-Spigot Quest Board is a Java 25 plugin for Purpur 26.2. It provides shared physical quest boards where players escrow rewards, deliver requested block items, and claim delivered or returned items.
+Before work, read the sibling `../somc-okf/index.md`, `../somc-okf/processes/index.md`, `../somc-okf/projects/spigot-quest-board/index.md`, `engineering.md` in that project section, and relevant `../somc-okf/user-stories/spigot-quest-board/` stories. Also follow the parent workspace `AGENTS.md` when present.
 
-## Canonical knowledge
+For standalone checkouts, start at the [project page](https://git.garvis.dev/dmg/somc-okf/src/branch/main/projects/spigot-quest-board/index.md) and [shared process](https://git.garvis.dev/dmg/somc-okf/src/branch/main/processes/development.md). Obtain wiki access before feature work; do not recreate a local knowledge bundle. Source builds do not require private wiki access.
 
-- `knowledge/` is the canonical OKF v0.1 knowledge bundle.
+Development follows [Development cycle](https://git.garvis.dev/dmg/somc-okf/src/branch/main/runbooks/development-cycle.md): approved stories, failing tests, passing implementation, verification, then source/wiki commit and push. GitOps updates are committed locally **without pushing**; only [Do release](https://git.garvis.dev/dmg/somc-okf/src/branch/main/runbooks/do-release.md) authorizes a reviewed GitOps push.
-- Read `knowledge/index.md` and the relevant documents in `knowledge/user-stories/` before changing behavior.
-- Every feature or behavior change requires an approved user story with task-list acceptance criteria.
-- Preserve unknown YAML frontmatter fields when editing knowledge documents.
-- Keep `knowledge/index.md`, `knowledge/log.md`, and `knowledge/user-stories/index.md` current.
-
-## Development
-
-- Compile against the Purpur API version declared in `build.gradle.kts`.
-- Use Java 25 and enable strict compiler linting.
-- Prefer small, server-independent domain objects and services that can be unit tested.
-- Use test-driven development where practical: add a failing test, implement the minimum behavior, then refactor.
-- Treat escrow, completion, cancellation, expiry, and claiming as atomic state transitions. Never duplicate or silently discard player items.
-- Key players by UUID, not display name.
-- Persist board, quest, escrow, and claim state safely across restarts using atomic file replacement where supported.
-- Use UTC and RFC 3339 timestamps for persisted or documented date-times.
-- Keep player-facing command autocomplete permission-aware and context-sensitive.
-- Use Purpur's supported Paper dialog API for native dialog interfaces.
-
-## Verification
-
-Run before completing a story:
-
-```bash
-./gradlew clean check jar
-```
-
-Mark acceptance criteria complete only after implementation and verification.

-## Git
-
-Use conventional commits in the form `type(scope): description`, with summaries under 72 characters.

 ## Status
 
-Administrators can register persistent shared quest boards by targeting a block within five blocks and running `/questadmin createboard`. Right-clicking any registered board opens a native dialog where a player can request a block and quantity while escrowing the exact reward stack held in their main hand. Every board and `/quests list` show the same active quests with requested blocks, rewards, issuers, and time remaining. Players can complete quests at any board or with `/quests complete <quest>` by delivering the required blocks. Exact escrowed rewards are granted immediately, and delivered blocks are held for the issuer. Issuers can cancel their own active quests at any board or with `/quests cancel <quest>`. Completed deliveries and rewards from cancelled or seven-day-expired quests are held durably and can be collected at any board or with `/quests claim`; inventory overflow drops at the claimant's feet.
+Administrators can register persistent shared quest boards by targeting a block within five blocks and running `/questadmin createboard`. They can instead run `/questadmin createboard physical` to generate a five-wide oak board above the targeted ground anchor, with glowing centered title and browsing-instruction signs above three decorative signs; its visible panel blocks and all five signs are registered. Right-clicking any registered board opens a compact native dashboard with dedicated browsing, creation, and claim screens. A player can request any inventory item material and quantity while escrowing the exact reward stack held in their main hand. Every board and `/quests list` show the same active quests with requested items, rewards, issuers, and time remaining; custom reward names are shown together with their material type. Players can complete quests at any board or with `/quests complete <quest>` by delivering the required items. Exact escrowed rewards are granted immediately, and delivered items are held for the issuer. Issuers can cancel their own active quests at any board or with `/quests cancel <quest>`.

-## 2026-09-05 — Initial quest-board design
-
-- Administrators create physical quest boards, and every board exposes the same global quests and claims.
-- Players create quests by selecting a requested block material and quantity and escrowing reward items from their inventory.
-- Completing players deliver the requested block items at a board and immediately receive the escrowed reward.
-- Delivered blocks remain held by the quest system until the issuer claims them at a board.
-- Cancelled and seven-day-expired quests return escrowed rewards through the same claim system rather than direct inventory delivery.
-- Inventory overflow from rewards or claims is dropped at the receiving player's feet.
-- Player `/quests` commands are disabled by default so administrators can require physical-board interaction.
-- The board interface follows Spigot Base by using Purpur's supported native dialog API.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Foundation started
-
-- Approved work begins with an OKF knowledge bundle, Java 25/Purpur 26.2 Gradle foundation, automated verification, and a public Gitea repository.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Foundation completed
-
-- Published the project to the public `dmg/spigot-quest-board` Gitea repository.
-- Added strict Java 25/Purpur 26.2 Gradle builds, plugin metadata, a metadata regression test, and CI/release workflows modeled on Spigot Base.
-- Verified the plugin foundation and JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Shared physical quest boards
-
-- Added durable world-UUID and block-coordinate board registration through `/questadmin createboard`.
-- Registered main-hand interactions open one shared native Purpur dialog while unregistered blocks remain untouched.
-- Persistence publishes a board only after an atomic YAML save succeeds and rejects duplicate locations.
-- Verified 11 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Quest creation and reward escrow
-
-- Added board-dialog and `/quests create <block> <quantity>` creation using a valid block material, positive quantity, and the exact held reward stack.
-- Escrow preserves full Bukkit item metadata in durable Base64-backed YAML and rolls inventory removal back if persistence fails.
-- Quests receive UUID identifiers and UTC creation and seven-day expiration timestamps.
-- Verified 26 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Shared quest browsing
-
-- Added globally shared active-quest listings to every board and to `/quests` and `/quests list`.
-- Listings include requested blocks, exact reward summaries, issuer names, and boundary-safe remaining durations.
-- Added persisted lifecycle status with backward-compatible active defaults and filtered stale quest IDs from contextual completion and cancellation suggestions.
-- Verified 37 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Block delivery and quest completion
-
-- Added board actions and `/quests complete <quest>` for exact requested-material delivery from player inventories.
-- Completion serializes state transitions, holds delivered blocks in durable issuer claims, and grants exact escrowed rewards with owner-protected overflow drops.
-- Added durable online and next-login issuer notifications and rollback before persistence succeeds.
-- Verified 49 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Issuer quest cancellation
-
-- Added issuer-only board actions and `/quests cancel <quest>` with ownership-filtered autocomplete.
-- Cancellation atomically moves exact reward escrow into an issuer claim without directly changing inventory.
-- Serialized cancellation against completion and retained active state when persistence fails.
-- Verified 58 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Quest expiration and held-item claims
-
-- Added boundary-safe scheduled expiration that moves exact rewards into durable issuer claims.
-- Added claim collection at every board and through `/quests claim`, distinguishing delivered blocks from cancelled or expired reward returns.
-- Inventory overflow drops at the claimant's feet with ownership protection, and failed claim acknowledgement rolls inventory and drops back before retry.
-- Added persisted online and next-login expiry notifications.
-- Verified 73 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
-
-## 2026-09-05 — Administrative player-command control
-
-- Disabled all player `/quests` command forms and autocomplete by default while preserving equivalent physical-board actions.
-- Added persistent `/questadmin commands enable|disable` control with permission-aware autocomplete and failure-safe updates.
-- Kept administrative board creation available independently of the player-command setting.
-- Verified 82 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
