Seed The Barricelli Files mystery (Scenes 5–10, narrative-only)
A narrative-only manifest wrapping the existing barricelli-inventor-proof level template: Dobby intro/tasks (branching, awards dobby.knows_barricelli*), a phone node bound to Glitch Hunter, the gated Glitch-Hunter interrogation (options require the Dobby flags, converge via a terminal), Scene 7 level, Scene 8 debrief, the barricelli_luggage merit ceremony, and the Scene 10 deep-web branch. Phone dialing still stubbed — the phone node is authored structure off the walkable path (Dobby → Hunter is direct for now). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
