id: investigate: embedded playable posts — HTML5 mini-games, async challenges, and forkable succession saves #2053
Description
LIST 15b. Boards should host little 'flash-game-type' things (HTML5 equivalents) that people build and post — and challenges: challenge someone to a game of chess over the system, played over time. Examples to design against: (1) the multiplayer eat-the-dots game where your dot grows as you eat others; (2) D&D-style role-playing threads; (3) succession games — the Dwarf Fortress pattern where one player takes the fortress for a set number of in-game years, then 'from this save point, it passes on to this person' — forkable and built in. Investigate: the embeddable game object, async turn/state passing, save-point forking in the graph, and how match attestation (LIST 10) plugs in. Deliverable: game-post model with the three examples walked through.
Program: Drew's 2026-10-28 directive (full text: hatch-personal memory/topics/id-program-2026-10-28.md).
Working pattern: parallel investigations, then the named synthesis issue merges them into a full design. Route guidance: Workhorse by default; Specialist/Summit for synthesis and ramification-heavy work. A result that says "done" is not the endpoint — the orchestrator reviews it and may commission another round. Deliverables: a markdown design/investigation doc (mermaid/SVG diagrams welcome) linked from this issue, plus follow-up issues for anything buildable. Build a proof of concept where the design calls for one, but do NOT build the permanent feature on top of an unreviewed PoC.
Acceptance criteria
- A written investigation exists covering the embeddable game object and async turn/state model for challenges
- The three design examples in the issue (multiplayer eat-the-dots, D&D-style threads, Dwarf-Fortress succession forks) are each addressed
- Findings feed the boards v1 synthesis (id: design: ID boards v1 #2054) by link

Intake review
LIST 15b investigation under epic #2056, feeding synthesis #2054. Filed by Drew 2026-10-28; not resolved by any merged PR. Suggested approach: bounded investigation write-up on this issue per the program pattern. Risk: game-object design drifting from the board model in #2052 — cross-link findings early.

Top priority — ID program wave-1. Drew directed this be picked up in the next runs (2026-10-29): enqueued directly as triage task 3358 in repo-health-code-pilot at queue priority 20 (only breakage-class work at priority 10 outranks it). Wave-1 is the ungated investigations and designs; syntheses and PoCs stay gated on their named inputs. Investigation route: Workhorse.

Queued: repo-health-code-pilot task 3926 (2026-10-30), wave-2 follow-on. The 2026-10-29 triage verified this issue and recorded 'write the investigation' as the next step; this task is that write — investigation doc PR under doc/, follow-up issues for buildable pieces, close with the doc link. Ordered by Drew ('queue unrun').

Investigation write — playable posts (#2053)
Task 3358's 2026-10-29 game-post model is now the wave-pattern doc at
doc/2026-10-30T19-45-00Z_investigation_playable_posts/(PR #2815, merged), re-verified against current main: tic-tac-toe.wasm+ roc examples present, world capability/resource docs present, #2026/#2032 closed and #2037/#2050/#2054/#2266 open as scoped. No change to the model.Gate update for #2054: #2052's doc has also landed (PR #2810, merged) — both investigations this synthesis was waiting on are now wave-pattern docs. PoC #2266 remains the only open buildable from this issue; nothing new filed.
