Purpose
Make the horror pass testable, explainable, and safe to hand to playtesters.
Scope
- Update public copy to describe the psychological-horror layer without exposing private lore or overselling intensity.
- Add a horror-specific browser playtest path covering opening, first instability, consent choice, action trace, debrief, mute/reduce-intensity, and reset.
- Keep the first-8-minute playtest focused on onboarding/discovery with a short note that a later horror pass exists.
- Add/update scripts so syntax checks and pure helper tests run cleanly.

Acceptance checks
- README still gives one obvious way to run the prototype.
- Public docs describe simulated privacy/identity pressure without requiring private source docs.
npm run check passes.
npm test passes once tests are added.
- Browser playtest confirms canonical/divergent reconstructions, invasive/protective consent paths, mute/reduced-intensity controls, reset, and mobile layout.
