### Forbidden / failure points
* No radio proof, no new Steve information, no Avalance/Waverider, no Anya, no Mike or Dustin physically in Part 2.
* Do not use narrator future-summary or tell the reader what the moment will mean later.
* Do not let logistics erase the four central couples.
### Approved contract status
Approved in the Part 2 pre-writing pass after source-merging the old `part2_chapter_logic_map.md` with the newer block contracts. This entry replaces older thinner planning for this chapter.
### Chapter role in Part 2
Block: The first convoy. Part 2 closes with practical naming: convoy. The word comes because the group already functions that way through vehicles, maps, roles, children, animals, water, medicine, tools, Steve signs, and Nancy writing the route. The handoff to Part 3 is three vehicles, too mu
### Physical opening
To be staged from the previous chapter's exact handoff. The chapter must begin with the physical consequences of Chapter 058 visible in people, vehicles, supplies, children, animals, wounds, signs, and location.
### Physical ending / handoff
The handoff to Part 3 is three vehicles, too much life, not enough space or communication, and no radio proof / no new Steve information / no Avalance or Waverider yet.
### Required continuity and scene anchors
* Keep the chapter as lived scene work, not report-language.
* Track water, food, medicine, hygiene, light, sleep, sound, weapons, vehicles, children, animals, weather, and living-person road pressure.
* Keep Steve present only through signs, jacket, route code, grief, private
### Forbidden / failure points
* No radio proof, no new Steve information, no Avalance/Waverider, no Anya, no Mike or Dustin physically in Part 2.
* Do not use narrator future-summary or tell the reader what the moment will mean later.
* Do not let logistics erase the four central couples.

This is a full organized English working version for the new skeleton phase. It preserves the usable planning material already built for Part 3, but removes dated update-stacking and places each decision where it belongs.

## English working baseline
English is now the default working language of the project. Treat this as the working version, not as a translation layer and not as a tracker of earlier language status.
## Part engine
Part 3 is the stage where the saga stops sounding like a group traveling together and starts sounding like a living convoy.
The emotional core remains the four main couples:
* Ronance
* Clexa
* SwanQueen
* Vauseman
Avalance, Steve / Anya / Hawkins, Shoni, Seth / Summer, and Caskett widen the world, a
## Timeline baseline
Part 3 covers roughly month 21 to month 27 after Day Zero.
The part begins with the convoy already named, but physically cramped inside three vehicles. It ends with the road no longer being enough and with the group needing a first place to stop, which hands the story to Part 4 and the Lake Camp.
## Standalone Entry Arcs in Part 3
Part 3 widens the saga through several entrance blocks. Each block must have enough independent life to feel like a fanfic before the convoy absorbs it.
Required Part 3 applications:
* Avalance and the Waverider need a full pre-contact arc: old team/home, Day Zero, losses, vehicle
## Required anchors
* The radio at the end of Chapter 065 proves Steve is alive, but it does not allow a full conversation, location, GPS, or coordination.
* Ronance and Raven manage to answer, but they do not know Steve is with Mike and Dustin.
* The radio proves the signs work, therefore Nancy, Robin, and Raven keep
