World event inventory (full surface)
Source of truth for what IdleSpectator covers across the whole game.
Refresh via live libraries + mutation_discovery / domain audits under .harness/.

Policy
If it is interesting, it is an interest candidate.
CreatesInterest / Happiness Signal registers Layer A.
EventStrength + scoring decide who gets the spotlight.
Only true brief FX, cooldowns, civic Aggregates, and god-tool / biome spam stay B-only.
How to read this
| Layer | Meaning |
|---|---|
| B | Activity / Life / chronicle prose may fire; no interest candidate |
| A | Registers interest; director ranks by points |
| Gap | Game fires a lifecycle beat; we have no reliable A path |

Wired hooks (major)
Happiness, status (+ egg-loss hatch), WorldLog, wars, plots (new/cancel/join/leave/finish),
meta genesis (culture/religion/language/clan/army/alliance/city/kingdom),
books, traits, deferred libraries, boats (trade/unload), buildings (consume; civ complete/wonder; ambient destroy demoted),
relationship (lover/child/family/baby/alpha), Family.setAlpha, SpeciesDiscovery,
meta trait gain (MetaObjectWithTraits.addTrait pipelines),
earthquake sticky (Earthquake.startQuake while active).
Known gaps / thin areas
| Gap | Why it matters | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Building complete / wonder finish | Settlement spectacle | Live (Building.completeConstruction, civ only) |
Library tip Labels use raw {id} |
Watch tips look untracked / ugly | Live (LibraryAssetNames + humanize) |
| Large ambient-A libraries (items/genes/phenotypes/subspecies/meta) | Camera noise with weak prose | Live (Signal-only A; library_ambient_policy_ok) |
Meta-trait diffs not fail-gated in domain_event_audit |
Regressions easy to miss | Live (fail-gated + library_asset_labels_ok) |
| Era/earthquake ongoing poll | Age via startNextAge; quake sticky via Earthquake.startQuake |
Live |
| Alliance/kingdom destroy managers | End beats covered by WorldLog (alliance_dissolved, kingdom_destroyed, …) |
Closed via WorldLog |

- Happiness:

Scoring notes
TotalScore = EventStrength + scale + CharacterSignificance * charWeight + visual + novelty.
CharacterSignificance includes favorite/king/leader/renown/kills/level and species rarity.
