# Step Away Narrative Expansion v2.0

This release expands the story layer without changing the locked rules.

## What changed

- Shared outcomes now publish as short case novellas, not just result screens.
- Live play uses richer case pulse text after interventions.
- Every play stores a narrative beat based on case category, current Moment, Lead suit, Support suit, result band, crisis state and pressure.
- Weaves now read narratively: highest VALUE leads, lower VALUE supports, and the story explains that relationship.
- Jokers now store narrative event beats.
- The same case can read differently on replay because different cards, suits, result bands, crisis states and seeded beat choices produce different story sections.

## Rules unchanged

- No Weave cap.
- Face/Ace VALUE 10.
- Face/Ace can DIG 10 if discarded.
- Face/Ace are Single only and only trigger effects when played.
- DIG is unlimited during a Search Window.
- Draw-up happens at Moment end.
- Cases use suit target bars.
