Explore before confirming objectives; route-specific details stay hidden.
Use this for setup, broad mechanics, and verification status only.
This page can flag that a decision may matter without naming the outcome.
Useful when you want non-specific warnings without route consequences.
Exact route choices appear only after verification.
Use this for reproduced route steps once chapter and scene context is proven.
Full consequences remain locked until verified and intentionally spoiler-gated.
