+# Runtime Gameplay Loop Closeout
+
+PR: PR_26152_208-runtime-gameplay-loop-closeout
+Date: 2026-06-02
+
+## Scope
+
+- Closed the gameplay-loop expansion lane.
+- Validated scenes, spawning, despawning, scoring, and state updates.
+- Documented the next runtime capability slice.
+
+## Validation
+
+Commands:
+
+```powershell
+node tests/engine/RuntimeSceneDefinitionSupport.test.mjs
+node tests/engine/RuntimeMultiSceneLoading.test.mjs
+node tests/engine/RuntimeSpawnDespawnProcessing.test.mjs
+node tests/engine/RuntimeScoringAndStateProcessing.test.mjs
+```
+
+Result: PASS.
+
+Additional static check:
+
+```powershell
+git diff --check
+```
+
+Result: PASS.
+
+## Lane Status
+
+| Area | Status | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Scene definitions | PASS | Multiple explicit manifest-owned scenes validate. |
+| Scene loading | PASS | Explicit scene loading and declared transitions validate. |
+| Spawn/despawn | PASS | Spawn uses manifest definitions; despawn uses runtime rule outcomes. |
+| Scoring/state | PASS | Score and state updates use manifest definitions matched to rule outcomes. |
+| Samples | SKIP | Permanently out of scope. |
+| Tools | SKIP | Out of scope. |
+
+## Next Runtime Capability Slice
+
+Next lane: manifest-driven rule outcome production.
+
+Expected first slice:
+
+- produce rule outcomes from existing attached rules
+- keep scoring, spawn, despawn, and state processors data-driven
+- keep samples and tool work out of scope
+- preserve visible error reporting and no silent fallback behavior
+
+## Lanes Executed
+
+- engine - gameplay loop closeout validation.
+- runtime - scenes, spawning, despawning, scoring, and state processing only.
+
+## Lanes Skipped
+
+- samples - permanently out of scope.
+- tools - out of scope.
+- browser Playwright - not part of this headless engine validation.
+
+## Playwright
+
+Playwright impacted: No browser/tool UI impact. This closeout validates headless runtime processors through targeted Node tests.
+
+## Manual Validation
+
+Review the four closeout tests and confirm the gameplay expansion remains manifest-driven with no sample, tool, or game-specific dependency.
+
+## Blocker Scope
+
+No blocker for the gameplay-loop expansion lane.

+# Runtime Multi Scene Loading
+
+PR: PR_26152_205-runtime-multi-scene-loading
+Date: 2026-06-02
+
+## Scope
+
+- Added runtime scene registry and loading support.
+- Supports loading scene definitions from manifest by explicit scene id.
+- Validates declared scene transitions.
+- No tool dependency was added.
+
+## Validation
+
+Command:
+
+```powershell
+node tests/engine/RuntimeMultiSceneLoading.test.mjs
+```
+
+Result: PASS.
+
+## Lanes Executed
+
+- engine - multi-scene loading validation.
+- runtime - explicit scene load and transition validation only.
+
+## Lanes Skipped
+
+- samples - permanently out of scope.
+- tools - out of scope.
+- browser Playwright - not part of this headless engine validation.
+
+## Playwright
+
+Playwright impacted: No browser/tool UI impact. This PR validates headless scene loading through targeted Node tests.
+
+## Manual Validation
+
+Review `RuntimeMultiSceneLoading.test.mjs` and confirm scene loading rejects implicit scene id and undeclared transitions.
+
+## Blocker Scope
+
+No blocker for runtime multi-scene loading.

+# Runtime Scene Definition Support
+
+PR: PR_26152_204-runtime-scene-definition-support
+Date: 2026-06-02
+
+## Scope
+
+- Added manifest-driven scene definition support.
+- Supports multiple scene records in manifest.
+- Scene ownership remains manifest-driven.
+- No hard-coded scene assumptions or silent defaults were added.
+
+## Validation
+
+Command:
+
+```powershell

+
+## Playwright
+
+Playwright impacted: No browser/tool UI impact. This PR validates headless engine scene data through targeted Node tests.
+
+## Manual Validation
+
+Review `RuntimeSceneDefinitionSupport.test.mjs` and confirm scenes require explicit `sceneId`, scene arrays, transitions, and environment force references.
+
+## Blocker Scope
+
+No blocker for runtime scene definition support.
