Supporting field note · Reviewed prototype represented by a frozen public reviewer snapshot.

Quest CraftThe story branches. Authority does not.

Help an adult Game Master turn an unexpected player choice into several playable paths without revoking player agency.

The model supplies bounded wording, software validates the exchange, and the Game Master may accept, revise, combine, or ignore the result.

Problem
Help an adult Game Master turn an unexpected player choice into several playable paths without revoking player agency.
Intended user
An adult Game Master facilitating players ages 9 to 12; the adult retains final authority.
My role
Product and system designer and release owner directing AI-assisted implementation, evaluation, correction, and approval.
Interaction built
One constrained generation request produces three structured paths while local checks and the adult authority rail remain outside the model step.
Result
The reviewer snapshot retains 36 rows: 33 model generations, three local privacy rejections, six failed or superseded attempts, and two behavior corrections.
Limit
A bounded public reviewer snapshot, not the private canonical implementation or a general safety result.

Movement one · Agency score

A choice becomes three paths, each returning the table to the players.

Select one editorial beat to trace it across the manuscript. All four beats and all three paths remain readable without client-side JavaScript.

Movement two · Evaluation

A small fixed suite, with its edits left in the margins.

A fixed release suite of 12 synthetic scenarios, three retained rows each, human-scored cells, local privacy rejections, and corrective reruns.

Twelve scenarios yielded 36 retained rows: 33 model generations and three local rejections where the model was not called. Human review recorded 360 / 360 passing cells in this bounded frozen suite.

Correction proofmarks

Observed misses changed the instructions.

The frozen result is inseparable from these revisions. The proofmark indicates a corrected rerun inside this suite, not a general reliability claim.

Correction one

Keep the path inside the supplied setting.

Failure
Unrelated setting facts appeared in generated paths.
Changed
Narrow the grounding instructions and rerun the affected scenario.
Earned here
The corrected release suite retained setting-grounded output under the fixed rubric.
Boundary
One fixed synthetic suite does not establish general grounding reliability.

Correction two

Remove humiliation, not merely soften it.

Failure
Softened mockery still centered a young rival's embarrassment.
Changed
Tighten youth-suitability instructions and exclude superseded passing rows.
Earned here
The corrected release suite records the revised behavior and preserves the failed attempts.
Boundary
Does not establish general child safety or developmental suitability.

Movement three · Reviewer boundary

A frozen folio, not a claim about the live world.

A bounded public reviewer snapshot, not the private canonical implementation or a general safety result.

The reviewer snapshot retains 36 rows: 33 model generations, three local privacy rejections, six failed or superseded attempts, and two behavior corrections.

  • This reviewed prototype is not production-ready and is not proof of production maturity.
  • The fixed synthetic suite is not independent replication or a general safety result.
  • The private canonical implementation was not inspected; no stack or current runtime is inferred.
  • No source-bound current project next step is public.
  • The adult Game Master retains final authority; this does not establish general child safety.
  • The frozen reviewer snapshot is not equivalent to a live demo.
  • Implementation was AI-assisted; this page does not claim manual authorship of every line.

Mutable Lovable prototypeIts generation behavior was not re-tested. This mutable surface is not presented as matching the frozen reviewer snapshot.

Public media recordApproval covers this portfolio-native social image only; the reviewer mirror has no detected license and provides no general reuse grant. The image remains metadata-only on this route.
