Strategic Pivot Plan: "The Red-Team Response"

Context: Pivoting from "Heavy PC MMO" to "Browser-First, Mobile-Sync Lore Engine" to validate traction immediately.

1. Core Philosophy Updates

• Shift: Visual Fidelity (3D World) → Accessibility & Retention (Dashboard/Discord).
• MVP Definition: Instead of a "Full Game", we ship a "Vertical Slice of Progression".

3. Revised Roadmap (The 7-Day Battle Plan)

4. Technical Architecture Impact

• Backend (loh-backend): Remains the source of truth. Needs new API endpoints for Discord Bot and Web Dashboard.
• Game Client (loh-game Bevy): Deprioritized slightly. Focus shifts to loh-website (Dashboard) as the primary "Always On" client. The Bevy client becomes the "High Fidelity" view for combat/exploration.
