Altus: The Beginning Bootstrap Playable Scene Sprint 02

Altus moved from a spec-backed runtime model to a first Unity Bootstrap scene for the opening War Table stewardship loop, verified with licensed EditMode and PlayMode tests.

Altus: The Beginning completed its Bootstrap playable scene sprint.

The sprint turned the deterministic Sprint 01 stewardship foundation into a visible Unity scene surface. The new Bootstrap scene shows the first-session War Table: the Citadel return summary, dispatching Merek Vane to Hold Frostgate, claiming the earned Silver Marks, Stone, and Luminant Order trust, and committing the War Table Level 2 restoration, alongside resource readouts and an early bottom navigation shell.

The scene consumes the existing AltusStewardshipState model rather than duplicating dispatch, claim, timer, faction-trust, or upgrade behavior in UI code. The first-session trust contract is preserved end to end: no store, ad, or paid shortcut surface appears until the first session is complete.

The sprint also added an Editor scene builder and build-settings support so the repository can regenerate or verify the Bootstrap scene deterministically instead of treating the scene as untracked local work. Unity was pinned to 6000.4.11f1 with the universal render pipeline and the test framework.

Verification ran on a licensed editor: the scene generated headlessly, the EditMode suite passed nine of nine deterministic model checks, and the PlayMode test confirmed the Bootstrap scene loads to the first-session War Table with the dispatch action ready. Hosted CI keeps the Unity test runner skip-guarded until a licensed CI runner exists, while the repository, content, and VeritySpec checks stay green.

This is still a prototype scene, not final production UI art or release readiness. The next Altus steps are to configure render and input settings for the scene and to expand War Table, hero recovery, faction, and economy content beyond the sprint seed.
