Run Artifact Catalog
Exact count: 60 stable identities (
AR-001..AR-060). Artifacts modify run-wide shop, route, formation, encounter, reward, loss, or mastery rules. They never occupy a recruit equipment fit or duplicate a unit proc.
Artifact Contract
Artifacts are offered as visible milestone choices. A run stores each artifact
ID once; duplicates convert to a new choice, never stack. Conflict removes
the paired artifact from future offers and is symmetric in this catalog. A
conflict is about incompatible run theses, not arbitrary rarity.
Every rule states its information surface and downside. Production plans are
compact: all need I collection/choice icon, V run-state cue plus
reduced-motion state, and S selection/trigger event plus caption. E or M
appears only when the artifact changes environment or music state.
AR-001..AR-010 - Shop And Recruit Rules
| ID and name | Run-wide rule and decision effect | Cost, conflict, and visibility | Production needs |
|---|---|---|---|

Every shop shows one extra equipment item, but recruit offer count is one lower. | Conflicts AR-001; shop header previews composition. |
I/V/S: tool window icon, reverse slot cue, latch slide. |
AR-003 Common Cause |
First Common recruit of each shop costs one product-defined tier less; Uncommon/Rare costs one tier more. | Conflicts AR-004; every price shows artifact delta. |
I/V/S: one-notch banner, price arrows, soft stamp. |
AR-004 Narrow Search |
Shops guarantee one Uncommon-or-Rare recruit but suppress one base-profession role weight. | Conflicts AR-003; suppressed role is chosen and visible for the run. |

I/V/S: long bench, reserve-to-cost cue, bench creak. |
AR-008 Lean Company |
Reserve capacity is lower; after a death, next legal recruit is guaranteed within recovery cost tier. | Conflicts AR-007; capacity and guarantee state remain on roster/shop. |
I/V/S: short bench, vacancy guarantee cue, firm knock. |
AR-009 Familiar Faces |
Profession+trait duplicates may appear in one shop; buying one suppresses that signature for next two shops. | Conflicts AR-010; duplicate warning explains breadth tradeoff. |
I/V/S: paired silhouettes, suppression clock, double card tap. |
AR-010 Wide Casting |
Each shop must offer distinct base professions while legal, but trait variety protection is disabled. | Conflicts AR-009; repeated-trait risk shown on artifact state. |

I/V/S: thick shutter screen, count-plus cue, muffled glass. |
AR-027 Shared Tempo |
At each cadence boundary, fastest allied and enemy basics both wait for their slower neighbor. | Conflicts AR-028; paired clocks show every affected action. |
I/V/S: joined clocks, wait tethers, synchronized ticks. |

I/V/S/E: shortened path, node-minus cue, quick steps. |
AR-034 Long March |
Each region adds one elite-option node and one recovery-option node; boss reward choice count is lower. | Conflicts AR-033; added nodes and boss tradeoff show up front. |
I/V/S/E: extended path, node-plus cue, measured steps. |
AR-035 Salvage Charter |

I/V/S: two empty cards, role guarantee cue, open book. |
AR-042 Kept Tools |
After a recruit death, one lost equipment counter tag is guaranteed in next shop. | Conflicts AR-041; no replacement-role guarantee is added. |
I/V/S: held tool outline, tag guarantee cue, tool knock. |

I/V/S: rotating crests, breadth counter, three-note rise. |
AR-052 Practice Makes Depth |
Winning three battles with unchanged profession set adds one advanced-prerequisite offer. | Conflicts AR-051; changing one profession resets count visibly. |

AR-053 Known Law |
Choose one mastered region grammar to suppress from RG-08 ordinary encounters. |
Conflicts AR-054; suppressed grammar increases boss reward uncertainty. |
I/V/S/M: crossed motif seal, suppression cue, removed music stem. |

AR-058 Complete Circuit |
Player must face both bosses in each visited region with a recovery node between. | Conflicts AR-057; second boss reward has fewer choices. |
I/V/S/M: paired crown path, two-boss schedule, linked boss cadence. |
AR-059 Final Examination |
Training comparisons are disabled during run; first plan divergence each boss grants one extra inspect pause. | Conflicts AR-060; preparation view states no replay access. |
I/V/S: closed slate/open eye, divergence pause cue, solemn tone. |
AR-060 Open Workshop |
Training comparison is available at each shop; boss inspect does not pause simulation. | Conflicts AR-059; training gives no rewards and time cost is explicit. |
I/V/S: open slate/clock eye, workshop cue, chalk-and-clock tone. |
No-Duplication Audit
- Shop/recruit artifacts change offer composition and generation constraints, not one recruit's item trigger.
- Formation/battle artifacts apply symmetrically or to the whole deployed line.
- Route/reward artifacts alter node and choice grammar, not item power.
- Loss/recovery artifacts create replacement counterfactuals and never revive a dead recruit or erase consequence.
- Mastery artifacts change run laws and information boundaries, not flat stats.
- All 30 conflict pairs are symmetric and all 60 artifacts are unique.
