 # Spigot Tyrant Design Log
 
+## 2026-08-21 — Bound role control items completed
+
+- Completed US-017 and the reopened US-015 and US-016 criteria with configurable owner-bound Tyrant and Vigilante control items that open their respective panels.
+- Role items are reconciled on login and periodically after role transitions, deduplicated, removed after role loss, and recoverable through `/tyrant item` or `/vigilante item` without dropping overflow.
+- Drop, pickup, container, drag, hopper, placement, dispenser, item-frame, death, stale-owner, and stale-role paths prevent transfer or remove invalid items.
+- Added default `Tyrant Control` Nether Star and `Vigilante Control` Compass settings and validation.
+- Verified role policy, delayed reconciliation, panel interaction, command recovery, settings defaults, compiler warnings, tests, and packaging with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-08-21 — Bound role control item implementation started
+
+- US-015, US-016, and US-017 begin a test-first implementation of configurable owner-bound Tyrant and Vigilante control items.
+- Delivery, command recovery, interaction, role validation, transfer prevention, role-loss cleanup, and duplicate resistance will build on the existing bound-item patterns.
+
+## 2026-08-21 — Bound role control items planned
+
+- Added US-017 for secure owner-bound Tyrant and Vigilante inventory items that open the corresponding control panels.
+- The Tyrant item defaults to a Nether Star named `Tyrant Control`, and the Vigilante item defaults to a Compass named `Vigilante Control`; both material and name are configurable.
+- Planned automatic role-assignment and login delivery, command recovery, full transfer prevention, removal on role loss or inventory departure, and duplicate resistance.
+- Reopened US-015 and US-016 in the backlog to track control-panel access through the new role items.
+
 ## 2026-08-21 — Vigilante control panel completed
 
 - Completed US-016 and the reopened US-008 criteria with resistance overview, recruitment, Follower management, and confirmed role-relinquishment screens.

+# US-017: Use bound role control items
+
+As a **Tyrant or Vigilante**, I want a bound role item that opens my control panel so that I can access role controls without typing a command.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] A player receives the appropriate control item when becoming the active Tyrant or Vigilante.
+- [x] The Tyrant control item opens the Tyrant control panel when used.
+- [x] The Vigilante control item opens the Vigilante control panel when used.
+- [x] The Tyrant control item defaults to a Nether Star named `Tyrant Control`.
+- [x] The Vigilante control item defaults to a Compass named `Vigilante Control`.
+- [x] Each item's material and name are configurable, and hidden metadata identifies its owner, associated role, and the plugin.
+- [x] Only the current role holder identified by the item's metadata can use the item.
+- [x] A former role holder or another player cannot use or retain the item.
+- [x] `/tyrant item` restores a missing Tyrant control item in addition to existing eligible class items.
+- [x] `/vigilante item` restores a missing Vigilante control item.
+- [x] Recovery commands cannot create duplicate control items.
+- [x] Using a recovery command while the inventory is full does not drop the item and explains how to retry.
+- [x] A role control item cannot be placed, crafted with, stored, framed, dispensed, transferred, or moved into another inventory.
+- [x] Dropping a role control item removes it immediately rather than creating a transferable dropped item.
+- [x] If a role control item leaves its owner's inventory during death or another inventory event, it is removed and may be recovered after respawn.
+- [x] A missing role control item is restored automatically on login or role assignment when inventory space is available.
+- [x] Every copy is removed immediately when the player loses the associated role.
+- [x] Repeated commands, role transitions, death, logout, restart, and concurrent inventory events cannot duplicate role control items.
+- [x] Existing `/tyrant`, `/tyrant menu`, `/vigilante`, and `/vigilante menu` control-panel access remains available.
+
+## Validation
+
+Automated tests verify role eligibility, paused-role retention, reconciliation and recovery, panel activation, role-specific commands, and configuration defaults. Inventory listeners cover transfer and departure paths, and the complete `./gradlew clean check jar` lifecycle passes.
