 # Changelog
 
+## v0.5.0 — 2026-09-28 22:51
+- CREW tab — crew roster with good/bad traits (issue #7): the ship's people on top of issue #6's exploration loop. Single-player, no auth, by design. Display + arrival only — no dismiss/assign actions yet.
+- New table (`lib/db/schema.ts` + DDL in `lib/db/client.ts`): `crew` (id/save_id/name/role/trait_good/trait_bad/origin). Origin is 'STARTING CREW' for the seeded crew or '<planet>, <system>' for members found while exploring.
+- Pure seeded crew generation (`lib/game/crew.ts`, same pattern as world.ts): name pools (16 first × 22 last, unique per roster), role pool of 8, good/bad trait pools of 10 each. `generateStartingCrew` gives a new game 2–3 members with unique names and roles; `rollCrewMember` finds a joining member on ~18% of scans (`CREW_CHANCE = 0.18`).
+- Starting crew is seeded in `ensureSave` from the save seed via `startingCrewRng(seed)` — same per-save derivation pattern as bodies/exploration, so a given seed always starts with the same crew.
+- Exploration extended: the crew roll draws from the SAME per-planet rng stream as the resource/part haul (called after it in `explorePlanet`), so outcomes stay deterministic per save+planet and existing hauls are unchanged. Found members join the roster with origin = '<planet>, <system>'; each body can only be scanned once, so no duplicate joins.
+- New endpoint: `GET /api/crew` → `[{id,name,role,trait_good,trait_bad,origin}]` in join order (auto-initializes like the others). `POST /api/explore` responses now also carry `crewFound` (the joining member or null). OpenAPI spec in code (`lib/openapi.ts`) updated for both.
+- CREW tab now renders REAL data: fetches `/api/crew` on mount (Radix unmounts inactive tabs, so opening the tab always refetches — no polling), cards show name + role, the good (+) and bad (−) traits and an ORIGIN line. Placeholder crew constants removed for this tab only — other tabs keep theirs until their issues land.
+
+## v0.4.0 — 2026-09-28 22:17
+- LOCAL SYSTEM tab — planet list + exploration to find things (issue #6): the first in-system game loop on top of issue #5's save/world foundation. Single-player, no auth, by design.
+- New tables (`lib/db/schema.ts` + DDL in `lib/db/client.ts`): `planets` (id/system_id/parent_id/name/type/hazard/explored — planets have parent_id NULL, moons point at their planet) and `inventory_items` (id/save_id/kind[name]/qty — the dumb-simple cargo hold SHIP SYSTEMS (#8) will spend from later).
+- Planet generation hooks into world gen (`lib/game/world.ts`, pure + seeded): each system gets 2–5 planets, some with 1–3 moons, generated when the system is inserted via `bodyRng(seed, systemId)` — so a given system always has the same bodies regardless of order. Bodies are stored in display order (a moon follows its parent row).
+- Exploration (`lib/game/save.ts`): `explorePlanet` rolls a deterministic haul from `explorationRng(seed, planetId)` — a resource and/or a part (qty), or nothing (~21% of scans) — marks the body explored (each once), costs a turn, accumulates finds into inventory (same kind+name bumps qty) and writes an explore event.
+- New endpoints: `GET /api/system` → `{ systemId, systemName, planets[{id,name,type,hazard,explored,parent}], inventory, turn }`; `POST /api/explore {planetId}` → fresh system state + `outcome` (400 malformed body, 404 unknown planet, 409 already explored). OpenAPI spec in code (`lib/openapi.ts`) updated for both.
+- LOCAL SYSTEM tab now renders REAL data: fetches `/api/system` on mount, draws the staggered body list (planets base level, moons indented + dimmed with their parent's name), badges reflect real state (UNEXPLORED / SCANNED / HAZARD) and an EXPLORE button per unexplored row; explore responses apply directly (no polling). A CARGO HOLD panel shows the live inventory. Placeholder constants removed for this tab only — other tabs keep theirs until their issues land.

 ## v0.3.0 — 2026-09-28 21:35
 - World generation + jump between solar systems (issue #5): the game save, DB schema, turn counter and event writing that all later tabs build on. Single-player by design — one save row, no auth/accounts.
 - New tables (`lib/db/schema.ts` + DDL in `lib/db/client.ts`): `saves` (id/seed/turn/created_at), `solar_systems` (name, x/y chart position, discovered, is_current), `jump_routes` (directed pairs, both directions stored for single-row adjacency lookups), `events` (append-only log: new-game + jump events so far).

 - **Scaffolded (v0.1.0)** — stack proof only, no game systems yet; the rest of this section is what's built + what lands next.
 - Next.js 16 App Router + React 19 + TypeScript strict, bun package manager (bun.lock), Node 22 in CI/Docker.
-- **Frontend component layer: scificn-ui v0.1.0** (https://scificn.dev) — copy-paste model on Radix + Tailwind v4; components live in `components/ui/` (Button, Panel, Badge, Card, Alert, Tabs, StatCard, Terminal, StatusGrid, ProgressRing, BarChart, LineChart, NodeGraph, Progress), theme tokens in `app/globals.css`. The app's interface base is the scificn-ui **Mission Control** showcase layout (https://www.scificn.dev/showcase/mission-control) rebuilt as `components/mission-control.tsx` and rendered from `app/page.tsx`, with placeholder ship content — no game logic yet. As of v0.2.0 the operations panel is a 7-tab visual template (WORLD MAP, LOCAL SYSTEM, CREW, SHIP SYSTEMS, SKILL TREE, MISSIONS, EVENT LOG) built on NodeGraph + Card widgets. As of v0.3.0 the WORLD MAP tab renders live data from `GET /api/world` (seeded world generation in `lib/game/`, save/jump/events via Drizzle/sql.js — single player, one save, no auth); the other tabs keep local placeholder constants until their own issues land. Deliberate deviation from upstream: `--text-muted` brightened `#4A4A40` → `#6B6B5C` (+12pt lightness) for readability on the near-black background. Upstream repo has **no LICENSE file** — user-approved risk, keep components minimal and re-verify licensing before any redistribution of this codebase.
-- SQLite via Drizzle ORM + sql.js (WASM, kept external in next.config.ts) at db/space-wanderer.db volume-mounted; schema designed to switch to Postgres later. Game tables (`saves`, `solar_systems`, `jump_routes`, `events`) live since v0.3.0 — single-player save with seeded world generation + turn counter; DDL in `lib/db/client.ts` must stay in sync with `lib/db/schema.ts`.

Game tables (`saves`, `solar_systems`, `jump_routes`, `planets`, `inventory_items`, `events`) live since v0.3.0/v0.4.0 — single-player save with seeded world + per-system body generation, turn counter and exploration; DDL in `lib/db/client.ts` must stay in sync with `lib/db/schema.ts`.
 - Vitest unit tests colocated (`**/*.test.ts`); Playwright e2e in `e2e/`, CI-only.
 - Server-authoritative TURN engine in lib/ — unlike Flight-Ops there is NO tick loop or sim clock: state advances only when a player action resolves a turn, and every action endpoint returns the full post-action snapshot which the client applies immediately (polling optional/later for multiplayer).
 - Plain React hooks for client state, no external store. **NO auth/accounts/multiplayer by design** (single player only) — there is no users/sessions table and no session headers; a "session" means the local single-player save slot in the DB, not an identity system. Do not copy Flight-Ops's lib/auth.ts / SignInScreen / admin patterns.
