Normative requirements
What conforming mission design must express.
Suspicion derive from observable incongruence, restricted actions, known records, and environmental context.
Provide nonviolent paths for access, collection, recovery, and extraction when the mission design supports them.
NPC reactions communicate what changed through behavior, dialogue, posture, access, or attention.
Players recover from minor mistakes through explanation, assistance, delay, or role-consistent action.
