Problem definition
Value recovery concentrates on main-level wins, so failure can stall several forms of progress together.

Homescapes
Design direction
Separate core wins from downstream settlement, distinguish existing earned and eligible states as win-only, preserved pending or blocked, and connect voluntary return without new rewards or rights.

Selected principles and the game-local design6 design records
These entries describe the selected design. Design selection is distinct from actual application and effect validation. The classified objects below retain their own roles and connections.

Goals and residual processing
Initial IFR · goal direction
Realign branching, destinations, recovery sequence and exposure within common-input dependencies.
Final IFR · design goal
Separate and buffer the win-only core and pending settlements already earned or eligible under original rules, placing state and optional next actions lightly within existing surfaces.

Compounding Growth
Play match-3 levels → earn stars and coins → spend stars on renovation tasks → advance the story and rooms → return to levels.
Outputs strengthen assets, capabilities, or access and open a stronger next cycle.
View pattern definition →Core Core Loop: Match-3 → Stars → Renovation → Story
Absolute core loop. Level clear supplies stars; stars unlock mansion repair tasks, area/game-day progress, and chapter continuation.

Core classification and definition · Pressure and Concentration Bottleneck
Pressure and Concentration Bottleneck
The affected flow runs through 05/06 + fail streak → balance → choice → receipt → fulfillment → retry/return join; its limiting point is the operations pressure handoff.
Difficulty, randomness, growth, or completion pressure accumulates at one decision point and concentrates the burden of retrying or reinvesting.
