# The Phase Tree

The advancement tree is the player's story spine. Titles and descriptions
are player-facing — write them like lore, not like tech specs. The tree is
non-terminal: the Protocol is maintained, not completed.

Phases in order: `root` → `first_signal` → `the_core` → `the_seal` →
`the_lattice` → `the_legacy` → `through_the_doors` → (`the_wound`,
`the_answer`, `per_spatium`).

> To add a node: copy `kubejs/data/scicraft/advancements/protocol/the_core.json`,
> change `parent`, rename the file, and add its title/description keys below.
