Open questions for the owner
I never block on these. Each open question has an assumption I'm proceeding with. Answer any time, and the next iteration will fold the answer in.

| # | Question | Assumption in use | Raised |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q10 | Owner action: when the build reaches M1, please generate the Alembic sprite (and later the other C-assets) with your image model, using the prompt files the build writes to assets/prompts/, and drop the PNGs in assets/ai_raw/. |
Until then the build uses code-drawn placeholders, and the pipeline is proven on a synthetic AI-like stand-in (D41). M1 acceptance 4 stays open until the real image arrives. | i4 |

Owner reply after i1: "your guesses are all correct. we can skip audio for now."

| Q1 | Reference image docs/reference/inspiration.png doesn't exist |
Use the brief-derived mood as canonical (D26). If an image appears later, view it on art iterations as the brief instructs. | i1 | after i1 |
| Q2 | Target platform | Browser-first (TS + WebGL2), desktop later with Tauri. | i1 | after i1 |
| Q3 | AI image generator | Tool-agnostic. Any model that outputs a PNG on flat magenta works with lanternforge clean. |

| Q4 | Does the no-purchase rule cover audio? | Moot for now: audio is skipped (D25). If it returns, the same rule applies (procedural, in-house or justified CC0). | i1 | after i1 |
| Q5 | 15–20 h to a first ending | Confirmed. | i1 | after i1 |
| Q6 | Title "Lanternhold" | Working title, confirmed. | i1 | after i1 |
| Q7 | Keeper Records carry over between worlds | Confirmed: on by default, can be disabled per world, stays on the cut list. | i1 | after i1 |
| Q8 | Input | M+K first, gamepad at M5, no hover-only information. | i1 | after i1 |
| Q9 | Hallucination toggle disables warp Sight bonuses | Confirmed. | i1 | after i1 |
