Quiet Hound Protocol

A tactical scout dog enters a silent zone, and fixed quiet-related words become mission modifiers that change how each newly drawn dog must be classified.

Creation: creation_7928e917e1321710f9743285e23538f8
Player action: Choose a mission doctrine, then deploy or redeploy the live scout dog to see the fixed word intel cascade into a new threat class, score, and objective.
Style cartridge: 🎮 Video Game HUD · video-game-hud
Novelty delta: The fixed vocabulary acts as a rules engine for live visual deployments rather than appearing as a list or decorative text.

Causal chain

1. datamuseSupplies fixed quiet-word intel that defines mission modifiers and scoring rules.
2. dog-ceoProvides the live scout image whose visual profile is classified under those modifiers.

API roles

API	Operations	Essential role
datamuse	words	Its fixed quiet-related vocabulary forms the mission doctrine, rank labels, and deterministic score modifiers used for every deployment.
dog-ceo	random	Its live image draw is the scout being deployed; every redeploy visibly changes the subject being classified and the resulting mission state.

Dependency

datamuse → rules → dog-ceo: The quiet-word list determines the active classification rules and score weights applied to each newly drawn dog image, so the text source visibly governs the live visual source.

Interaction

Controls: doctrine selector, DEPLOY SCOUT button, REDEPLOY LIVE SCOUT button

Outcome: The dog image updates on each live redeploy, while doctrine choice and quiet-word modifiers recalculate callsign, threat class, score bars, and mission objective.
