+# Mission Objectives System - Implementation Plan
+
+> **Version**: 1.1 (Updated with codebase review corrections)  
+> **Related Files**: `TODO_CHECKLIST.md`, `QUICK_REFERENCE.md`  
+> **Review Details**: See `review1/` folder for detailed codebase analysis
+
+## Overview
+
+A two-tier objective tracking system with **Aims** (high-level goals) and **Tasks** (actionable steps). Objectives are displayed in a persistent HUD panel (top-right), tracked in game state, and validated by the server where practical.

+```
+
+### Key Integration Points
+
+1. **Initialization**: ObjectivesManager created in `main.js`, but data loaded in `game.js create()` after scenario JSON available
+2. **Event System**: Uses `NPCEventDispatcher` with wildcard support (`item_picked_up:*`)
+3. **Server Sync**: Uses existing `/break_escape/games/:id/` route structure
+4. **State Restoration**: `objectivesState` passed in scenario bootstrap for page reload recovery

+### Task Types
+
+| Type | Trigger | Server Validation | Client Detection |
+|------|---------|-------------------|------------------|
+| `collect_items` | Item added to inventory | Inventory API validates item | `item_picked_up:*` wildcard event |
+| `unlock_room` | Room door unlocked | Unlock API validates | `door_unlocked` event (provides `connectedRoom`) |
+| `unlock_object` | Container/object unlocked | Unlock API validates | `item_unlocked` event (NOT `object_unlocked`) |
+| `npc_conversation` | Ink tag `#complete_task:taskId` | Server checks NPC encountered | `task_completed_by_npc` event |
+| `enter_room` | Player enters room | Room access already tracked | `room_entered` event |
+| `custom` | Ink tag `#complete_task:taskId` | Optional server validation | Tag processing |
+
+> **IMPORTANT EVENT NAMES**: The codebase uses `item_unlocked` (not `object_unlocked`) in `unlock-system.js` line 587. The `door_unlocked` event provides `connectedRoom` property (not `roomId`).

+## Server-Side Implementation
+
+### 1. Database Schema (Migration)

+
+### 3. API Endpoints
+
+**File:** `config/routes.rb` (add to games resource)
+
+```ruby
+resources :games do
+  member do
+    # ... existing routes ...
+    get 'objectives'                       # Get current objective state
+    post 'objectives/tasks/:task_id',      # Complete a specific task
+         to: 'games#complete_task',
+         as: 'complete_task'
+    put 'objectives/tasks/:task_id',       # Update task progress
+        to: 'games#update_task_progress',
+        as: 'update_task_progress'
+  end
+end
+```
+
+> **NOTE**: Using RESTful routes with `task_id` in path (not request body) for clarity and cacheability.
+
+**File:** `app/controllers/break_escape/games_controller.rb` (add actions)
+
+```ruby
+# GET /games/:id/objectives
+def objectives
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+  
+  render json: {
+    objectives: @game.scenario_data['objectives'],
+    state: @game.player_state['objectives'] || {}
+  }
+end
+
+# POST /games/:id/objectives/tasks/:task_id
+def complete_task
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+  
+  task_id = params[:task_id]
+  result = @game.complete_task!(task_id, params[:validation_data])
+  
+  if result[:success]
+    render json: result
+  else
+    render json: result, status: :unprocessable_entity
+  end
+end
+
+# PUT /games/:id/objectives/tasks/:task_id
+def update_task_progress
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+  
+  task_id = params[:task_id]
+  progress = params[:progress].to_i
+  
+  @game.update_task_progress!(task_id, progress)
+  render json: { success: true, taskId: task_id, progress: progress }
+end
+```
+
+### 4. Scenario Bootstrap (State Restoration)
+
+**Update:** `scenario` action to include objectives state for page reload recovery:
+
+```ruby
+# GET /games/:id/scenario
+def scenario
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+
+  begin
+    filtered = @game.filtered_scenario_for_bootstrap
+    filter_requires_recursive(filtered)
+    
+    # Include objectives state for restoration on page reload
+    if @game.player_state['objectives'].present?
+      filtered['objectivesState'] = @game.player_state['objectives']
+    end
+
+    render json: filtered
+  rescue => e
+    Rails.logger.error "[BreakEscape] scenario error: #{e.message}"
+    render_error("Failed to generate scenario: #{e.message}", :internal_server_error)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### 5. Sync State Integration
+
+**Update:** `sync_state` action to include objectives
+
+```ruby
+def sync_state
+  # ... existing sync logic ...
+  
+  # Also sync objective progress from client
+  if params[:objectives].present?
+    params[:objectives].each do |task_id, progress|
+      @game.update_task_progress!(task_id, progress.to_i)
+    end
+  end
+  
+  # Return current objective state in response
+  render json: {
+    success: true,
+    objectives: @game.player_state['objectives']
+  }
+end
+```

+
+### 5. Integration (main.js and game.js)
+
+**File:** Update `public/break_escape/js/main.js`
+
+```javascript
+// Add imports at top
+import ObjectivesManager, { getObjectivesManager } from './systems/objectives-manager.js';
+import ObjectivesPanel from './ui/objectives-panel.js';
+
+// In initializeGame(), AFTER NPC systems are initialized:
+
+// Initialize Objectives System (manager only - data comes later in game.js)
+console.log('📋 Initializing objectives manager...');
+window.objectivesManager = getObjectivesManager(window.eventDispatcher);
+```
+
+**File:** Update `public/break_escape/js/core/game.js`
+
+In the `create()` function, AFTER `gameScenario` is loaded and global variables are set:
+
+```javascript
+// Initialize global narrative variables from scenario
+if (gameScenario.globalVariables) {
+    window.gameState.globalVariables = { ...gameScenario.globalVariables };
+    console.log('🌐 Initialized global variables:', window.gameState.globalVariables);
+} else {
+    window.gameState.globalVariables = {};
+}
+
+// Restore objectives state from server if available (passed via objectivesState)
+if (gameScenario.objectivesState) {
+    window.gameState.objectives = gameScenario.objectivesState;
+    console.log('📋 Restored objectives state from server');
+}
+
+// Initialize objectives system AFTER scenario is loaded
+// This must happen in create() because gameScenario isn't available until now
+if (gameScenario.objectives && window.objectivesManager) {
+    console.log('📋 Initializing objectives from scenario');
+    window.objectivesManager.initialize(gameScenario.objectives);
+    
+    // Create UI panel
+    window.objectivesPanel = new ObjectivesPanel(window.objectivesManager);
+}
+```
+
+> **CRITICAL**: Objectives data initialization MUST happen in `game.js create()` function, NOT in `main.js`. The scenario JSON is not available until `create()` runs. The manager is created in `main.js`, but `initialize()` with data happens in `game.js`.
+
+### 6. Door Unlock Event Fix
+
+**File:** Update `public/break_escape/js/systems/doors.js`
+
+**CRITICAL**: The current codebase does NOT emit `door_unlocked` events. Add event emission to the `unlockDoor()` function:
+
+```javascript
+function unlockDoor(doorSprite, roomData) {
+    const props = doorSprite.doorProperties;
+    console.log(`Unlocking door: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+
+    // Mark door as unlocked
+    props.locked = false;
+
+    // If roomData was provided from server unlock response, cache it
+    if (roomData && window.roomDataCache) {
+        console.log(`📦 Caching room data for ${props.connectedRoom} from unlock response`);
+        window.roomDataCache.set(props.connectedRoom, roomData);
+    }
+

+    if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+        window.eventDispatcher.emit('door_unlocked', {
+            roomId: props.roomId,
+            connectedRoom: props.connectedRoom,
+            direction: props.direction
+        });
+        console.log(`📋 Emitted door_unlocked event: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+    }
+
+    // TODO: Implement unlock animation/effect
+
+    // Open the door
+    openDoor(doorSprite);
+}
+```
+
+> **NOTE**: Use `data.connectedRoom` when listening to this event - that's the room being unlocked.
+
+### 7. Key Item Event Fix
+
+**File:** Update `public/break_escape/js/systems/inventory.js`
+
+In the `addKeyToInventory()` function, add event emission after adding the key:
+
+```javascript
+function addKeyToInventory(sprite) {
+    // ... existing code to add key to keyRing ...
+    
+    // Add the key to the key ring
+    window.inventory.keyRing.keys.push(sprite);
+    
+    // Emit item_picked_up event for keys too (for objectives tracking)
+    // NOTE: Keys currently don't emit events - this is a required fix
+    if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+        window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:${sprite.scenarioData.type}`, {
+            itemType: sprite.scenarioData.type,
+            itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+            roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom,
+            isKey: true
+        });
+        
+        // Also emit specific key_id event if available
+        const keyId = sprite.scenarioData?.key_id || sprite.key_id;
+        if (keyId) {
+            window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:key:${keyId}`, {
+                itemType: 'key',
+                keyId: keyId,
+                itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+                roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom
+            });
+        }
+    }
+    
+    // ... rest of existing code ...
+}
+```

+
+### Phase 6: Ink Tag Extensions
+- [ ] 6.1 Add `#complete_task:taskId` tag handler to chat-helpers.js
+- [ ] 6.2 Add `#unlock_task:taskId` tag handler
+- [ ] 6.3 Add `#unlock_aim:aimId` tag handler
+- [ ] 6.4 Test tags in phone-chat and person-chat minigames
+
+### Phase 7: Reconciliation & Edge Cases
+- [ ] 7.1 Implement `reconcileWithGameState()` for items collected before init
+- [ ] 7.2 Handle key pickups (add events to `addKeyToInventory()`)
+- [ ] 7.3 Test state restoration on page reload
+- [ ] 7.4 Add debouncing to `syncTaskProgress()`
+
+### Phase 8: Testing & Documentation
+- [ ] 8.1 Create test scenario `scenarios/test-objectives/` with all objective types
+- [ ] 8.2 Test item collection objectives
+- [ ] 8.3 Test room unlock objectives  
+- [ ] 8.4 Test object unlock objectives

+## Debug Utilities
+
+Add to `objectives-manager.js` or expose globally for testing:
+
+```javascript
+// Expose debug functions globally in development
+window.debugObjectives = {
+  completeTask: (taskId) => window.objectivesManager?.completeTask(taskId),
+  unlockTask: (taskId) => window.objectivesManager?.unlockTask(taskId),
+  unlockAim: (aimId) => window.objectivesManager?.unlockAim(aimId),
+  showAll: () => console.table(window.objectivesManager?.getAllAims()),
+  showTask: (taskId) => console.log(window.objectivesManager?.taskIndex[taskId]),
+  simulatePickup: (itemType) => window.objectivesManager?.handleItemPickup({ itemType }),
+  reconcile: () => window.objectivesManager?.reconcileWithGameState(),
+  reset: () => {
+    const manager = window.objectivesManager;
+    if (!manager) return;
+    Object.values(manager.taskIndex).forEach(task => {
+      task.status = task.originalStatus || 'active';
+      task.currentCount = 0;
+      delete task.completedAt;
+    });
+    Object.values(manager.aimIndex).forEach(aim => {

+
+## Open Questions / Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Optional objectives?** Support for side-quests that don't block main progression
+2. **Timed objectives?** Tasks with time limits (e.g., "Escape before security arrives")
+3. **Hidden objectives?** Tasks that only appear after certain conditions
+4. **Objective dependencies?** More complex unlock conditions (AND/OR logic)
+5. **Objective rewards?** Grant items or unlock abilities on completion
+6. **Objective journal?** Full-screen view with descriptions and history
+7. **Sound effects?** Add `objective_complete.mp3` to sound assets
+6. **Objective journal?** Full-screen view with descriptions and history

+## Task Types at a Glance
+
+| Type | Trigger | Event Name | Example |
+|------|---------|------------|---------|
+| `collect_items` | Player picks up items | `item_picked_up:*` | Find 3 documents |
+| `unlock_room` | Door unlocked | `door_unlocked` (use `connectedRoom`) | Access server room |
+| `unlock_object` | Container unlocked | `item_unlocked` (NOT `object_unlocked`) | Open the safe |
+| `npc_conversation` | Ink tag `#complete_task:X` | `task_completed_by_npc` | Talk to handler |

+
+## Ink Tags
+
+```ink
+# complete_task:taskId    -> Marks task complete
+# unlock_task:taskId      -> Makes locked task active
+# unlock_aim:aimId        -> Makes locked aim active
+```
+
+## Scenario JSON Template
+
+```json
+{
+  "objectives": [
+    {
+      "aimId": "unique_aim_id",
+      "title": "High-level goal",

+          }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## API Endpoints (RESTful)
+
+```
+GET  /break_escape/games/:id/objectives                # Get current state
+POST /break_escape/games/:id/objectives/tasks/:task_id # Complete a task
+PUT  /break_escape/games/:id/objectives/tasks/:task_id # Update progress
+```
+
+## Events Emitted
+
+```javascript
+// Task completed
+eventDispatcher.emit('objective_task_completed', { taskId, aimId, task });
+
+// Aim completed
+eventDispatcher.emit('objective_aim_completed', { aimId, aim });
+```
+
+## Events Listened To
+
+```javascript
+'item_picked_up:*'      // For collect_items (wildcard pattern)
+'door_unlocked'         // For unlock_room (use data.connectedRoom)
+'item_unlocked'         // For unlock_object (NOT object_unlocked!)
+'room_entered'          // For enter_room
+'task_completed_by_npc' // From ink tags
+```
+
+## Initialization Order
+
+1. `main.js`: Create `ObjectivesManager` instance (manager only)
+2. `game.js create()`: Restore `objectivesState` from server to `window.gameState.objectives`
+3. `game.js create()`: Call `objectivesManager.initialize(gameScenario.objectives)`
+4. `game.js create()`: Create `ObjectivesPanel` instance
+
+> **CRITICAL**: Objectives data initialization MUST happen in `game.js create()`, NOT `main.js`. Scenario JSON isn't available until `create()` runs.
+
+## CSS Classes
+
+```css
+.objectives-panel       /* Main container */
+.objectives-panel.collapsed
+.objective-aim          /* Aim container */
+.aim-active / .aim-completed
+.objective-task         /* Task container */
+.task-active / .task-completed
+```
+
+## Global Access
+
+```javascript
+window.objectivesManager.completeTask('taskId');
+window.objectivesManager.unlockTask('taskId');
+window.objectivesManager.unlockAim('aimId');
+window.objectivesManager.getActiveAims();
+window.objectivesManager.reconcileWithGameState();
+
+// Debug utilities
+window.debugObjectives.showAll();
+window.debugObjectives.reset();
+```
+
+## Key Gotchas
+
+1. **CRITICAL**: `door_unlocked` events NOT emitted in current codebase - must add to `doors.js`
+2. **Event name**: `item_unlocked` NOT `object_unlocked`
+3. **Door event**: `door_unlocked` should provide both `roomId` and `connectedRoom` (use `connectedRoom`)
+4. **Keys don't emit events**: Need to add event to `addKeyToInventory()`
+5. **State restoration**: Server passes `objectivesState` in scenario bootstrap
+6. **Reconciliation**: Call `reconcileWithGameState()` after init for late-loaded scenarios

+# Objectives System - TODO Checklist
+
+Track implementation progress here. Check off items as completed.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0: Prerequisites (Do First) ⬜

+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+_Add implementation notes, blockers, or decisions here:_
+
+- **CRITICAL**: `door_unlocked` events are NOT emitted in current codebase - must add to `doors.js`
+- Event name is `item_unlocked` NOT `object_unlocked` (unlock-system.js line 587) ✅
+- `door_unlocked` event should provide both `roomId` and `connectedRoom` (use `connectedRoom` for unlock tasks)
+- Keys do NOT emit pickup events - requires fix in `addKeyToInventory()`
+- Objectives init happens in `game.js create()` NOT `main.js` (scenario not available until then)
+- Server includes `objectivesState` in scenario bootstrap for reload recovery
+- Use RESTful routes: `POST /objectives/tasks/:task_id` (task_id in path)

+# Objectives System - Corrected Code Snippets
+
+This file contains corrected code based on the implementation review findings.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Corrected Event Listeners (objectives-manager.js)
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Setup event listeners for automatic objective tracking
+ * CORRECTED: Uses actual event names from codebase
+ */
+setupEventListeners() {
+    // Item collection - wildcard pattern works with NPCEventDispatcher
+    this.eventDispatcher.on('item_picked_up:*', (data) => {
+        this.handleItemPickup(data);
+    });
+    
+    // Room/door unlocks
+    this.eventDispatcher.on('door_unlocked', (data) => {
+        this.handleRoomUnlock(data.connectedRoom); // Note: connectedRoom, not roomId
+    });
+    
+    this.eventDispatcher.on('door_unlocked_by_npc', (data) => {
+        this.handleRoomUnlock(data.roomId);
+    });
+    
+    // Object unlocks - CORRECTED: event is 'item_unlocked' not 'object_unlocked'
+    this.eventDispatcher.on('item_unlocked', (data) => {
+        // data contains: { itemType, itemName, lockType }
+        // Match against task.targetObject using itemName or itemType
+        this.handleObjectUnlock(data.itemName, data.itemType);
+    });
+    
+    // Room entry
+    this.eventDispatcher.on('room_entered', (data) => {
+        this.handleRoomEntered(data.roomId);
+    });
+    
+    // NPC conversation completion (via ink tag)
+    this.eventDispatcher.on('task_completed_by_npc', (data) => {
+        this.completeTask(data.taskId);
+    });
+}
+
+/**
+ * Handle object unlock - CORRECTED to accept both name and type
+ */
+handleObjectUnlock(itemName, itemType) {
+    Object.values(this.taskIndex).forEach(task => {
+        if (task.type !== 'unlock_object') return;
+        if (task.status !== 'active') return;
+        
+        // Match by either targetObject name or type
+        const matches = task.targetObject === itemName || 
+                       task.targetObject === itemType;
+        if (!matches) return;
+        
+        this.completeTask(task.taskId);
+    });
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Corrected Initialization Location (game.js)
+
+```javascript
+// In game.js create() function, AFTER gameScenario is loaded (around line 510)
+
+// Initialize global narrative variables from scenario
+if (gameScenario.globalVariables) {
+    window.gameState.globalVariables = { ...gameScenario.globalVariables };
+    console.log('🌐 Initialized global variables:', window.gameState.globalVariables);
+} else {
+    window.gameState.globalVariables = {};
+}
+
+// NEW: Restore objectives state from server if available
+if (gameScenario.objectivesState) {
+    window.gameState.objectives = gameScenario.objectivesState;
+    console.log('📋 Restored objectives state from server');
+}
+
+// NEW: Initialize objectives system after scenario is loaded
+if (gameScenario.objectives && window.objectivesManager) {
+    console.log('📋 Initializing objectives from scenario');
+    window.objectivesManager.initialize(gameScenario.objectives);
+    
+    // Create UI panel
+    if (typeof ObjectivesPanel !== 'undefined') {
+        window.objectivesPanel = new ObjectivesPanel(window.objectivesManager);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Corrected Rails Routes (routes.rb)
+
+```ruby
+BreakEscape::Engine.routes.draw do
+  # ... existing routes ...
+  
+  resources :games, only: [:show, :create] do
+    member do
+      # Existing routes
+      get 'scenario'
+      get 'scenario_map'
+      get 'ink'
+      get 'room/:room_id', to: 'games#room', as: 'room'
+      get 'container/:container_id', to: 'games#container'
+      put 'sync_state'
+      post 'unlock'
+      post 'inventory'
+      
+      # NEW: Objectives routes (RESTful pattern)
+      get 'objectives'                    # Get current objective state
+      post 'objectives/tasks/:task_id',   # Complete a specific task
+           to: 'games#complete_task', 
+           as: 'complete_task'
+      put 'objectives/tasks/:task_id',    # Update task progress
+          to: 'games#update_task_progress',
+          as: 'update_task_progress'
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Include Objectives State in Scenario Bootstrap (games_controller.rb)
+
+```ruby
+# GET /games/:id/scenario
+def scenario
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+
+  begin
+    filtered = @game.filtered_scenario_for_bootstrap
+    filter_requires_recursive(filtered)
+    
+    # NEW: Include objectives state for restoration
+    if @game.player_state['objectives'].present?
+      filtered['objectivesState'] = @game.player_state['objectives']
+    end
+
+    render json: filtered
+  rescue => e
+    Rails.logger.error "[BreakEscape] scenario error: #{e.message}"
+    render_error("Failed to generate scenario: #{e.message}", :internal_server_error)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Reconciliation Method for Late Initialization (objectives-manager.js)
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Reconcile objectives with current game state
+ * Handles case where player collected items before objectives loaded
+ */
+reconcileWithGameState() {
+    console.log('📋 Reconciling objectives with current game state...');
+    
+    // Check inventory for items matching collect_items tasks
+    const inventoryItems = window.inventory?.items || [];
+    
+    Object.values(this.taskIndex).forEach(task => {
+        if (task.status !== 'active') return;
+        
+        switch (task.type) {
+            case 'collect_items':
+                const matchingItems = inventoryItems.filter(item => {
+                    const itemType = item.scenarioData?.type || item.getAttribute?.('data-type');
+                    return task.targetItems.includes(itemType);
+                });
+                
+                // Also count keys from keyRing
+                const keyRingItems = window.inventory?.keyRing?.keys || [];
+                const matchingKeys = keyRingItems.filter(key => 
+                    task.targetItems.includes(key.scenarioData?.type)
+                );
+                
+                const totalCount = matchingItems.length + matchingKeys.length;
+                
+                if (totalCount > (task.currentCount || 0)) {
+                    task.currentCount = totalCount;
+                    console.log(`📋 Reconciled ${task.taskId}: ${totalCount}/${task.targetCount}`);
+                    
+                    if (totalCount >= task.targetCount) {
+                        this.completeTask(task.taskId);
+                    }
+                }
+                break;
+                
+            case 'unlock_room':
+                // Check if room is already unlocked
+                const unlockedRooms = window.gameState?.unlockedRooms || [];
+                const isUnlocked = unlockedRooms.includes(task.targetRoom) || 
+                                  window.discoveredRooms?.has(task.targetRoom);
+                if (isUnlocked) {
+                    console.log(`📋 Reconciled ${task.taskId}: room already unlocked`);
+                    this.completeTask(task.taskId);
+                }
+                break;
+                
+            case 'enter_room':
+                // Check if room was already visited
+                if (window.discoveredRooms?.has(task.targetRoom)) {
+                    console.log(`📋 Reconciled ${task.taskId}: room already visited`);
+                    this.completeTask(task.taskId);
+                }
+                break;
+        }
+    });
+}
+
+/**
+ * Initialize objectives from scenario data
+ */
+initialize(objectivesData) {
+    if (!objectivesData || !objectivesData.length) {
+        console.log('📋 No objectives defined in scenario');
+        return;
+    }
+    
+    // Deep clone to avoid mutating scenario
+    this.aims = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(objectivesData));
+    
+    // Build indexes
+    this.aims.forEach(aim => {
+        this.aimIndex[aim.aimId] = aim;
+        aim.tasks.forEach(task => {
+            task.aimId = aim.aimId;
+            this.taskIndex[task.taskId] = task;
+        });
+    });
+    
+    // Sort by order
+    this.aims.sort((a, b) => (a.order || 0) - (b.order || 0));
+    
+    // Restore state from server if available
+    this.restoreState();
+    
+    // NEW: Reconcile with current game state
+    this.reconcileWithGameState();
+    
+    console.log(`📋 Objectives initialized: ${this.aims.length} aims`);
+    this.notifyListeners();
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Key Item Event Emission Fix (inventory.js)
+
+Add this to `addKeyToInventory()` after line 460:
+
+```javascript
+function addKeyToInventory(sprite) {
+    // ... existing code to add key to keyRing ...
+    
+    // NEW: Emit item_picked_up event for keys too (for objectives tracking)
+    if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+        window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:${sprite.scenarioData.type}`, {
+            itemType: sprite.scenarioData.type,
+            itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+            roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom,
+            isKey: true
+        });
+        
+        // Also emit specific key_id event if available
+        const keyId = sprite.scenarioData?.key_id || sprite.key_id;
+        if (keyId) {
+            window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:key:${keyId}`, {
+                itemType: 'key',
+                keyId: keyId,
+                itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+                roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom
+            });
+        }
+    }
+    
+    // ... rest of existing code ...
+}
+```

+
+## 7. Responsive CSS Additions (objectives.css)
+
+Add to the end of the CSS file:
+
+```css
+/* Responsive breakpoints for objectives panel */
+
+@media (max-width: 1024px) {
+  .objectives-panel {
+    width: 240px;
+  }
+}
+
+@media (max-width: 768px) {
+  .objectives-panel {
+    width: 200px;
+    font-size: 12px;
+    top: 10px;
+    right: 10px;
+  }
+  
+  .objectives-title {
+    font-size: 14px;
+  }
+  
+  .aim-header {
+    font-size: 13px;
+  }
+  
+  .objective-task {
+    font-size: 11px;
+  }
+}
+
+@media (max-width: 480px) {
+  .objectives-panel {
+    position: fixed;
+    top: auto;
+    bottom: 90px; /* Above inventory */
+    right: 10px;
+    left: 10px;
+    width: auto;
+    max-height: 30vh;
+  }
+  
+  .objectives-panel.collapsed {
+    left: auto;
+    width: auto;
+    min-width: 120px;
+  }
+  
+  .objectives-panel.collapsed .objectives-title {
+    display: none;
+  }
+  
+  .objectives-panel.collapsed .objectives-header::before {
+    content: '📋';
+    margin-right: 8px;
+  }
+}
+
+/* Animation for objective updates */
+@keyframes objective-highlight {
+  0% { 
+    background-color: rgba(255, 204, 0, 0.4);
+    transform: scale(1.02);
+  }
+  100% { 
+    background-color: transparent;
+    transform: scale(1);
+  }
+}
+
+.objective-task.updated {
+  animation: objective-highlight 0.6s ease-out;
+}
+
+.objective-aim.updated {
+  animation: objective-highlight 0.8s ease-out;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Debug Utilities
+
+Add to `objectives-manager.js` or create `objectives-debug.js`:
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Debug utilities for objectives system
+ * Available via window.debugObjectives
+ */
+export function initObjectivesDebug(manager) {
+    window.debugObjectives = {
+        // Complete a task manually
+        completeTask: (taskId) => {
+            console.log(`🔧 Debug: Completing task ${taskId}`);
+            return manager.completeTask(taskId);
+        },
+        
+        // Unlock a task manually
+        unlockTask: (taskId) => {
+            console.log(`🔧 Debug: Unlocking task ${taskId}`);
+            return manager.unlockTask(taskId);
+        },
+        
+        // Unlock an aim manually
+        unlockAim: (aimId) => {
+            console.log(`🔧 Debug: Unlocking aim ${aimId}`);
+            return manager.unlockAim(aimId);
+        },
+        
+        // Show all objectives state
+        showAll: () => {
+            console.log('📋 All Aims:', manager.getAllAims());
+            console.table(manager.getAllAims().map(aim => ({
+                aimId: aim.aimId,
+                title: aim.title,
+                status: aim.status,
+                tasks: aim.tasks.length,
+                completedTasks: aim.tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'completed').length
+            })));
+        },
+        
+        // Show specific task
+        showTask: (taskId) => {
+            const task = manager.taskIndex[taskId];
+            if (task) {
+                console.log(`📋 Task ${taskId}:`, task);
+            } else {
+                console.warn(`Task ${taskId} not found`);
+            }
+        },
+        
+        // Reset objectives (for testing)
+        reset: () => {
+            console.log('🔧 Debug: Resetting objectives');
+            Object.values(manager.taskIndex).forEach(task => {
+                task.status = task.originalStatus || 'active';
+                task.currentCount = 0;
+                delete task.completedAt;
+            });
+            Object.values(manager.aimIndex).forEach(aim => {
+                aim.status = aim.originalStatus || 'active';
+                delete aim.completedAt;
+            });
+            manager.notifyListeners();
+        },
+        
+        // Simulate item pickup
+        simulatePickup: (itemType) => {
+            console.log(`🔧 Debug: Simulating pickup of ${itemType}`);
+            manager.handleItemPickup({ itemType, itemName: itemType });
+        },
+        
+        // Force reconciliation
+        reconcile: () => {
+            console.log('🔧 Debug: Forcing reconciliation');
+            manager.reconcileWithGameState();
+        }
+    };
+    
+    console.log('📋 Debug utilities available via window.debugObjectives');
+}

+# Objectives System - Implementation Review
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After reviewing the codebase against the implementation plan, I've identified several **critical issues**, **gaps**, and **improvement opportunities** that should be addressed before implementation. The plan is solid overall but needs refinements for successful integration.
+
+---
+
+## 🔴 Critical Issues
+
+### 1. Missing `item_picked_up` Event - Actual Format Differs
+
+**Issue:** The plan assumes `item_picked_up:*` wildcard events exist, but the actual emitted event format is:
+
+```javascript
+// Actual (inventory.js line 369-374)
+window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:${sprite.scenarioData.type}`, {
+    itemType: sprite.scenarioData.type,
+    itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+    roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom
+});
+```
+
+**Problem:** The event is emitted with type-specific naming (`item_picked_up:lockpick`), not a generic `item_picked_up`. The wildcard listener `item_picked_up:*` **will work** thanks to `NPCEventDispatcher.emit()` (line 28-33), but only matching `eventType.startsWith(prefix)`.
+
+**Fix Required:** The plan's listener pattern is correct, but ensure we're subscribing to `item_picked_up:*` (with asterisk) or individual types:
+
+```javascript
+// This WILL work (verified in npc-events.js)
+this.eventDispatcher.on('item_picked_up:*', (data) => {
+    this.handleItemPickup(data);
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Missing `object_unlocked` Event
+
+**Issue:** The plan assumes an `object_unlocked` event exists for container unlocks.
+
+**Actual:** The codebase emits `item_unlocked` (not `object_unlocked`):
+
+```javascript
+// unlock-system.js line 587-592
+window.eventDispatcher.emit('item_unlocked', {
+    itemType: lockable.scenarioData.type,
+    itemName: lockable.scenarioData.name,
+    lockType: lockable.scenarioData.lockType
+});
+```
+
+**Fix Required:** Update plan to listen to `item_unlocked` instead of `object_unlocked`:
+
+```javascript
+// In ObjectivesManager.setupEventListeners()
+this.eventDispatcher.on('item_unlocked', (data) => {
+    this.handleObjectUnlock(data.itemName); // Note: uses itemName, not objectId
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Initialization Order Problem
+
+**Issue:** The plan suggests initializing `ObjectivesManager` in `main.js`, but the scenario isn't loaded until `game.js create()`.
+
+**Current Flow:**
+1. `main.js` runs → `initializeGame()` creates Phaser game
+2. Phaser calls `preload()` → loads scenario JSON
+3. Phaser calls `create()` → `window.gameScenario` is set
+
+**Problem:** `ObjectivesManager.initialize(objectives)` needs scenario data, but it's not available during `main.js` execution.
+
+**Fix Required:** Initialize ObjectivesManager in `game.js create()`, not `main.js`:
+
+```javascript
+// game.js create() - after gameScenario is loaded (around line 510)
+if (gameScenario.objectives) {
+    console.log('📋 Initializing objectives from scenario');
+    window.objectivesManager?.initialize(gameScenario.objectives);
+    window.objectivesPanel = new ObjectivesPanel(window.objectivesManager);
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Server Routes Conflict with Existing Pattern
+
+**Issue:** Proposed routes don't follow Rails Engine nested resource pattern.
+
+**Proposed:**
+```ruby
+get 'objectives'
+post 'objectives/complete'
+post 'objectives/progress'
+```
+
+**Problem:** The existing routes use different patterns and `/complete` as a sub-path doesn't cleanly fit Rails conventions.
+
+**Fix Required:** Use RESTful nested resource or different naming:
+
+```ruby
+resources :games, only: [:show, :create] do
+  member do
+    # Existing routes...
+    get 'objectives', to: 'games#objectives'
+    post 'objectives', to: 'games#complete_objective'  # Use POST body for task_id
+    put 'objectives', to: 'games#update_objective_progress'  # Use PUT for updates
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Or add as collection with task_id in path:
+```ruby
+post 'objectives/:task_id/complete', to: 'games#complete_objective'
+put 'objectives/:task_id/progress', to: 'games#update_objective_progress'
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🟠 Gaps & Missing Considerations
+
+### 5. No Handling for Key Items in `collect_items`
+
+**Issue:** Keys are handled differently via `addKeyToInventory()` and don't emit the standard `item_picked_up` event with full data.
+
+**Impact:** `collect_items` tasks targeting keys may not increment progress.
+
+**Fix Required:** Ensure key collection also emits the event:
+
+```javascript
+// inventory.js addKeyToInventory() - add after line 460
+if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+    window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:${sprite.scenarioData.type}`, {
+        itemType: sprite.scenarioData.type,
+        itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+        roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### 6. `targetObject` vs `itemName` Mismatch
+
+**Issue:** The plan uses `targetObject` for unlock_object tasks, but events provide `itemName` or `itemType`.
+
+**Impact:** Task matching will fail if object identifiers don't match.
+
+**Fix Required:** Clarify the identifier strategy. Options:
+- Use `scenarioData.name` (human readable, may have duplicates)
+- Use `scenarioData.id` (unique, requires adding id to all objects)
+- Use `objectId` (auto-generated, unpredictable)
+
+**Recommendation:** Add optional `objectId` to scenario objects and use that for task matching:
+```json
+{
+  "type": "safe",
+  "objectId": "ceo_safe",
+  "name": "CEO's Personal Safe",
+  "locked": true
+}
+```
+
+### 7. No State Restoration on Page Reload
+
+**Issue:** The plan mentions `restoreState()` but doesn't show how server state gets into `window.gameState.objectives`.
+
+**Fix Required:** Include objectives state in initial game load or scenario bootstrap:
+
+```ruby
+# games_controller.rb - scenario action
+def scenario
+  filtered = @game.filtered_scenario_for_bootstrap
+  filtered['objectivesState'] = @game.player_state['objectives']  # Add this
+  render json: filtered
+end
+```
+
+```javascript
+// game.js create() - after loading scenario
+if (gameScenario.objectivesState) {
+    window.gameState.objectives = gameScenario.objectivesState;
+}
+```
+
+### 8. No Handling for Already-Completed Tasks
+
+**Issue:** If a player collects item #3 of 5 before objectives system initializes, progress is lost.
+
+**Fix Required:** Add a reconciliation step on initialize:
+
+```javascript
+initialize(objectivesData) {
+  // ... existing code ...
+  
+  // Reconcile with current game state
+  this.reconcileWithGameState();
+}
+
+reconcileWithGameState() {
+  // Check inventory for items matching collect_items tasks
+  const inventory = window.inventory?.items || [];
+  Object.values(this.taskIndex).forEach(task => {
+    if (task.type === 'collect_items' && task.status === 'active') {
+      const matchingItems = inventory.filter(item => 
+        task.targetItems.includes(item.scenarioData?.type)
+      );
+      if (matchingItems.length > task.currentCount) {
+        task.currentCount = matchingItems.length;
+        if (task.currentCount >= task.targetCount) {
+          this.completeTask(task.taskId);
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  });
+  
+  // Check unlocked rooms for unlock_room tasks
+  // Check discoveredRooms for enter_room tasks
+  // etc.
+}
+```
+
+### 9. CSS Z-Index Conflicts
+
+**Issue:** The plan uses `z-index: 1500` but notification container uses `z-index: 2000`.
+
+**Consideration:** Objectives panel should appear below notifications but above game canvas.
+
+**Current Layers:**
+- `#notification-container`: 2000
+- `#objectives-panel` (proposed): 1500
+- `#inventory-container`: 1000
+- `#health-ui-container`: 1100
+
+**Verdict:** z-index 1500 is appropriate. No change needed.
+
+### 10. Mobile/Responsive Considerations
+
+**Issue:** The objectives panel is fixed at 280px width with no mobile breakpoints.
+
+**Fix Required:** Add responsive CSS:
+
+```css
+@media (max-width: 768px) {
+  .objectives-panel {
+    width: 200px;
+    font-size: 12px;
+    top: 10px;
+    right: 10px;
+  }
+  
+  .objectives-panel.collapsed {
+    width: auto;
+    max-width: 150px;
+  }
+}
+
+@media (max-width: 480px) {
+  .objectives-panel {
+    width: 100%;
+    max-width: none;
+    top: 0;
+    right: 0;
+    border-radius: 0;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🟡 Improvement Suggestions
+
+### 11. Add `object_id` Attribute to Unlock Events
+
+**Suggestion:** Emit more complete data in unlock events:
+
+```javascript
+// unlock-system.js - around line 587
+window.eventDispatcher.emit('item_unlocked', {
+    objectId: lockable.objectId,  // Add this
+    itemType: lockable.scenarioData.type,
+    itemName: lockable.scenarioData.name,
+    lockType: lockable.scenarioData.lockType
+});
+```
+
+### 12. Add Sound Effects for Objective Completion
+
+**Suggestion:** Play UI sounds when objectives complete:
+
+```javascript
+showTaskCompleteNotification(task) {
+    if (window.playUISound) {
+        window.playUISound('objective_complete'); // Add this sound
+    }
+    if (window.gameAlert) {
+        window.gameAlert(`✓ ${task.title}`, 'success', 'Task Complete');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 13. Persist Panel Collapsed State
+
+**Suggestion:** Save collapsed state in localStorage:
+
+```javascript
+toggleCollapse() {
+    this.isCollapsed = !this.isCollapsed;
+    this.container.classList.toggle('collapsed', this.isCollapsed);
+    localStorage.setItem('objectives_panel_collapsed', this.isCollapsed);
+}
+
+createPanel() {
+    // ... existing code ...
+    this.isCollapsed = localStorage.getItem('objectives_panel_collapsed') === 'true';
+    this.container.classList.toggle('collapsed', this.isCollapsed);
+}
+```
+
+### 14. Add Debug Commands
+
+**Suggestion:** Add console debug helpers:
+
+```javascript
+// Expose debug functions
+window.debugObjectives = {
+    completeTask: (taskId) => window.objectivesManager?.completeTask(taskId),
+    unlockAim: (aimId) => window.objectivesManager?.unlockAim(aimId),
+    showAll: () => console.table(window.objectivesManager?.getAllAims()),
+    reset: () => { /* Reset objectives state */ }
+};
+```
+
+### 15. Consider Debouncing Server Sync
+
+**Suggestion:** The plan syncs progress on every item pickup. Consider debouncing:
+
+```javascript
+syncTaskProgress(taskId, progress) {
+    // Clear existing timeout
+    if (this.syncTimeouts[taskId]) {
+        clearTimeout(this.syncTimeouts[taskId]);
+    }
+    
+    // Debounce sync by 1 second
+    this.syncTimeouts[taskId] = setTimeout(() => {
+        this._doSync(taskId, progress);
+    }, 1000);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔵 Testing Considerations
+
+### 16. Add Integration Test Points
+
+Create `test-objectives.html` similar to other test files:
+
+```html
+<!-- Test cases needed -->
+1. Collect 3 items, verify progress updates
+2. Unlock room, verify task completes
+3. Complete all tasks in aim, verify aim completes
+4. Chain unlock (task A completes → task B unlocks)
+5. Server validation failure handling
+6. State persistence across page reload
+7. Late initialization reconciliation
+```
+
+### 17. Add Rails Model Tests
+
+```ruby
+# test/models/break_escape/game_objectives_test.rb
+class GameObjectivesTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
+  test "complete_task validates collect_items against inventory"
+  test "complete_task validates unlock_room against unlockedRooms"
+  test "process_task_completion unlocks next task"
+  test "check_aim_completion marks aim complete when all tasks done"
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Updated TODO Priorities
+
+Based on this review, update the implementation order:
+
+### Phase 0: Prerequisite Fixes (NEW)
+- [ ] 0.1 Add `objectId` field to scenario objects that need tracking
+- [ ] 0.2 Ensure keys emit `item_picked_up` event
+- [ ] 0.3 Decide on object identifier strategy (name vs id)
+
+### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (Updated)
+- [ ] 1.1 Create database migration
+- [ ] 1.2 Add Game model methods (with reconciliation)
+- [ ] 1.3 Create API endpoints (using corrected route pattern)
+- [ ] 1.4 Create `objectives-manager.js` (with corrected event names)
+- [ ] 1.5 Add objectives CSS (with responsive breakpoints)
+
+### Phase 2: Event Integration (Updated)
+- [ ] 2.1 Subscribe to `item_picked_up:*` (wildcard - this works)
+- [ ] 2.2 Subscribe to `door_unlocked` (correct)
+- [ ] 2.3 Subscribe to `item_unlocked` (not `object_unlocked`)
+- [ ] 2.4 Subscribe to `room_entered` (correct)
+- [ ] 2.5 Add reconciliation on initialization
+
+(Continue with remaining phases from original plan...)
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The implementation plan is **well-structured** and **mostly correct**, but requires these adjustments:
+
+1. **Event name correction**: `item_unlocked` not `object_unlocked`
+2. **Initialization timing**: Move to `game.js create()` after scenario loads
+3. **Object identifier strategy**: Need consistent approach
+4. **State restoration**: Add `objectivesState` to scenario bootstrap
+5. **Reconciliation**: Handle items collected before objectives init
+
+With these fixes, the plan has a high chance of successful implementation.

+# Updated TODO Checklist - Post-Review
+
+Based on the implementation review, here's the corrected and prioritized TODO list.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0: Prerequisite Fixes 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY
+_Must be done before starting main implementation_
+
+- [ ] 0.1 **Add key pickup event emission** in `inventory.js` `addKeyToInventory()`
+  - Currently keys don't emit `item_picked_up` event
+  - Blocks: collect_items tasks for keys
+  
+- [ ] 0.2 **Decide on object identifier strategy**
+  - Option A: Use `scenarioData.name` (simpler, may have duplicates)
+  - Option B: Add `objectId` field to scenario objects (cleaner, requires scenario updates)
+  - **Recommendation:** Use `itemName` for now, document that names must be unique per room
+
+- [ ] 0.3 **Verify event names match actual codebase**
+  - ✅ `item_picked_up:*` - works with wildcard
+  - ✅ `door_unlocked` - correct
+  - ❌ `object_unlocked` → should be `item_unlocked`
+  - ✅ `room_entered` - correct
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Core Infrastructure
+_Server-side and client-side core modules_
+
+### Database & Model
+- [ ] 1.1 Create migration `db/migrate/XXXXXX_add_objectives_to_games.rb`
+  ```ruby
+  add_column :break_escape_games, :objectives_completed, :integer, default: 0
+  add_column :break_escape_games, :tasks_completed, :integer, default: 0
+  ```
+
+- [ ] 1.2 Add objective methods to `app/models/break_escape/game.rb`:
+  - [ ] `initialize_objectives`
+  - [ ] `complete_task!(task_id, validation_data = {})`
+  - [ ] `update_task_progress!(task_id, progress)`
+  - [ ] `aim_status(aim_id)` / `task_status(task_id)`
+  - [ ] `task_progress(task_id)`
+  - [ ] Private: `validate_collection`, `process_task_completion`, etc.
+  - [ ] Private: `find_task_in_scenario(task_id)`
+
+### API Routes & Controller
+- [ ] 1.3 Add routes to `config/routes.rb`:
+  ```ruby
+  get 'objectives'
+  post 'objectives/tasks/:task_id', to: 'games#complete_task'
+  put 'objectives/tasks/:task_id', to: 'games#update_task_progress'
+  ```
+
+- [ ] 1.4 Add controller actions:
+  - [ ] `def objectives` - GET current state
+  - [ ] `def complete_task` - POST complete a task
+  - [ ] `def update_task_progress` - PUT update progress
+
+- [ ] 1.5 **Include objectives state in scenario bootstrap**
+  - Update `scenario` action to include `objectivesState`
+
+### Client Module
+- [ ] 1.6 Create `public/break_escape/js/systems/objectives-manager.js`
+  - Use corrected event names (`item_unlocked` not `object_unlocked`)
+  - Include `reconcileWithGameState()` method
+
+- [ ] 1.7 Create `public/break_escape/css/objectives.css`
+  - Include responsive breakpoints
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Event Integration
+_Wire up to existing game events_
+
+- [ ] 2.1 Subscribe to `item_picked_up:*` → `handleItemPickup()`
+  - **Note:** Wildcard works, verified in NPCEventDispatcher
+
+- [ ] 2.2 Subscribe to `door_unlocked` → `handleRoomUnlock()`
+  - **Note:** Use `data.connectedRoom` for room ID
+
+- [ ] 2.3 Subscribe to `door_unlocked_by_npc` → `handleRoomUnlock()`
+
+- [ ] 2.4 Subscribe to `item_unlocked` → `handleObjectUnlock()`
+  - **CORRECTED:** Event name is `item_unlocked`, not `object_unlocked`
+
+- [ ] 2.5 Subscribe to `room_entered` → `handleRoomEntered()`
+
+- [ ] 2.6 Subscribe to `task_completed_by_npc` (from ink tags)
+
+- [ ] 2.7 **Implement reconciliation** on initialize
+  - Check inventory for existing items
+  - Check discoveredRooms for visited rooms
+  - Check unlockedRooms for unlocked doors
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: UI Implementation
+_Objectives panel display_
+
+- [ ] 3.1 Create `public/break_escape/js/ui/objectives-panel.js`
+
+- [ ] 3.2 Implement `createPanel()` with header and content
+
+- [ ] 3.3 Implement `render(aims)` for aim/task hierarchy
+
+- [ ] 3.4 Implement `toggleCollapse()` with localStorage persistence
+
+- [ ] 3.5 Add progress text for `showProgress: true` tasks
+
+- [ ] 3.6 Add CSS animations for:
+  - New objective appearance
+  - Task completion
+  - Progress updates
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Integration & Wiring
+_Connect all pieces together_
+
+- [ ] 4.1 Add imports to `public/break_escape/js/main.js`:
+  ```javascript
+  import ObjectivesManager, { getObjectivesManager } from './systems/objectives-manager.js';
+  ```
+
+- [ ] 4.2 Create ObjectivesManager instance in `main.js initializeGame()`
+  ```javascript
+  window.objectivesManager = getObjectivesManager(window.eventDispatcher);
+  ```
+
+- [ ] 4.3 **Initialize from scenario in `game.js create()`** (CORRECTED LOCATION)
+  ```javascript
+  if (gameScenario.objectives && window.objectivesManager) {
+      // Restore state first
+      if (gameScenario.objectivesState) {
+          window.gameState.objectives = gameScenario.objectivesState;
+      }
+      window.objectivesManager.initialize(gameScenario.objectives);
+      window.objectivesPanel = new ObjectivesPanel(window.objectivesManager);
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] 4.4 Add `<link>` to objectives.css in game HTML template
+
+- [ ] 4.5 Export `window.objectivesManager` for global access
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Server Validation
+_Ensure server validates completions_
+
+- [ ] 5.1 Update `sync_state` action to accept/return objectives
+
+- [ ] 5.2 Validate `collect_items` against `player_state['inventory']`
+
+- [ ] 5.3 Validate `unlock_room` against `player_state['unlockedRooms']`
+
+- [ ] 5.4 Validate `unlock_object` against `player_state['unlockedObjects']`
+
+- [ ] 5.5 Validate `npc_conversation` against `player_state['encounteredNPCs']`
+
+- [ ] 5.6 Return `objectivesState` in filtered_scenario_for_bootstrap
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Ink Tag Extensions
+_Add objective-related tags to NPC dialogues_
+
+- [ ] 6.1 Add `complete_task` case to `chat-helpers.js` `processGameActionTags()`
+  ```javascript
+  case 'complete_task':
+      window.eventDispatcher.emit('task_completed_by_npc', { taskId: param });
+  ```
+
+- [ ] 6.2 Add `unlock_task` case
+
+- [ ] 6.3 Add `unlock_aim` case
+
+- [ ] 6.4 Test in phone-chat minigame
+
+- [ ] 6.5 Test in person-chat minigame
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7: Testing
+_Comprehensive testing_
+
+### Manual Test Cases
+- [ ] 7.1 Create test scenario `scenarios/test-objectives/scenario.json.erb`
+  - Include all task types
+  - Include chained objectives
+  - Include locked aims
+
+- [ ] 7.2 Test `collect_items` (pick up 3 documents)
+
+- [ ] 7.3 Test `collect_items` with keys (via keyRing)
+
+- [ ] 7.4 Test `unlock_room` (unlock a door)
+
+- [ ] 7.5 Test `unlock_object` (unlock a container)
+
+- [ ] 7.6 Test `npc_conversation` (ink tag completion)
+
+- [ ] 7.7 Test `enter_room` (walk into room)
+
+- [ ] 7.8 Test chained objectives (`onComplete.unlockTask`)
+
+- [ ] 7.9 Test aim completion (all tasks done)
+
+- [ ] 7.10 Test aim unlock conditions (`unlockCondition.aimCompleted`)
+
+### Edge Cases
+- [ ] 7.11 Test server validation rejection
+
+- [ ] 7.12 Test state persistence (reload page)
+
+- [ ] 7.13 Test reconciliation (collect items, then load objectives)
+
+- [ ] 7.14 Test offline mode (no gameId)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8: Documentation
+_Final documentation updates_
+
+- [ ] 8.1 Create `docs/OBJECTIVES_USAGE.md`
+  - Schema reference
+  - Task types
+  - Ink tags
+  - Examples
+
+- [ ] 8.2 Update `README_scenario_design.md` with objectives section
+
+- [ ] 8.3 Add debug utilities documentation
+
+- [ ] 8.4 Document ink tags in `docs/INK_BEST_PRACTICES.md`

+## Critical Fix: Door Unlock Event Emission
+
+### File: `public/break_escape/js/systems/doors.js`
+
+**Location**: `unlockDoor()` function (around line 585)
+
+**Current Code** (MISSING event emission):
+```javascript
+function unlockDoor(doorSprite, roomData) {
+    const props = doorSprite.doorProperties;
+    console.log(`Unlocking door: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+
+    // Mark door as unlocked
+    props.locked = false;
+
+    // If roomData was provided from server unlock response, cache it
+    if (roomData && window.roomDataCache) {
+        console.log(`📦 Caching room data for ${props.connectedRoom} from unlock response`);
+        window.roomDataCache.set(props.connectedRoom, roomData);
+    }
+
+    // TODO: Implement unlock animation/effect
+
+    // Open the door
+    openDoor(doorSprite);
+}
+```
+
+**CORRECTED Code** (with event emission):
+```javascript
+function unlockDoor(doorSprite, roomData) {
+    const props = doorSprite.doorProperties;
+    console.log(`Unlocking door: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+
+    // Mark door as unlocked
+    props.locked = false;
+
+    // If roomData was provided from server unlock response, cache it
+    if (roomData && window.roomDataCache) {
+        console.log(`📦 Caching room data for ${props.connectedRoom} from unlock response`);
+        window.roomDataCache.set(props.connectedRoom, roomData);
+    }
+
+    // Emit door unlocked event for objectives system
+    if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+        window.eventDispatcher.emit('door_unlocked', {
+            roomId: props.roomId,
+            connectedRoom: props.connectedRoom,
+            direction: props.direction
+        });
+        console.log(`📋 Emitted door_unlocked event: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+    }
+
+    // TODO: Implement unlock animation/effect
+
+    // Open the door
+    openDoor(doorSprite);
+}
+```
+
+**Why This Matters**: Without this event, `unlock_room` type objectives will never auto-complete.
+
+---
+
+## Already Documented Fix: Key Pickup Event Emission
+
+### File: `public/break_escape/js/systems/inventory.js`
+
+**Location**: `addKeyToInventory()` function (around line 433)
+
+**Insert AFTER** the line: `window.inventory.keyRing.keys.push(sprite);`
+
+```javascript
+// Emit item_picked_up event for keys too (for objectives tracking)
+// NOTE: Keys currently don't emit events - this is a required fix
+if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+    window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:${sprite.scenarioData.type}`, {
+        itemType: sprite.scenarioData.type,
+        itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+        roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom,
+        isKey: true
+    });
+    
+    // Also emit specific key_id event if available
+    const keyId = sprite.scenarioData?.key_id || sprite.key_id;
+    if (keyId) {
+        window.eventDispatcher.emit(`item_picked_up:key:${keyId}`, {
+            itemType: 'key',
+            keyId: keyId,
+            itemName: sprite.scenarioData.name,
+            roomId: window.currentPlayerRoom
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## ObjectivesManager Event Listener Setup
+
+### File: `public/break_escape/js/systems/objectives-manager.js`
+
+**Function**: `setupEventListeners()`
+
+**CORRECTED version** with proper door event handling:
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Setup event listeners for automatic objective tracking
+ * NOTE: Event names match actual codebase implementation
+ */
+setupEventListeners() {
+  // Item collection - wildcard pattern works with NPCEventDispatcher
+  this.eventDispatcher.on('item_picked_up:*', (data) => {
+    this.handleItemPickup(data);
+  });
+  
+  // Room/door unlocks
+  // NOTE: door_unlocked provides both 'roomId' and 'connectedRoom'
+  this.eventDispatcher.on('door_unlocked', (data) => {
+    // Check tasks that match the connectedRoom (the room being unlocked)
+    this.handleRoomUnlock(data.connectedRoom);
+  });
+  
+  this.eventDispatcher.on('door_unlocked_by_npc', (data) => {
+    this.handleRoomUnlock(data.roomId);
+  });
+  
+  // Object unlocks - NOTE: event is 'item_unlocked' (not 'object_unlocked')
+  this.eventDispatcher.on('item_unlocked', (data) => {
+    // data contains: { itemType, itemName, lockType }
+    this.handleObjectUnlock(data.itemName, data.itemType);
+  });
+  
+  // Room entry
+  this.eventDispatcher.on('room_entered', (data) => {
+    this.handleRoomEntered(data.roomId);
+  });
+  
+  // NPC conversation completion (via ink tag)
+  this.eventDispatcher.on('task_completed_by_npc', (data) => {
+    this.completeTask(data.taskId);
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**Key Point**: Use `data.connectedRoom` for door unlocks, as that's the room being unlocked (the target room).
+
+---
+
+## Scenario Bootstrap with objectivesState
+
+### File: `app/controllers/break_escape/games_controller.rb`
+
+**Method**: `scenario`
+
+**Current Code**:
+```ruby
+def scenario
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+
+  begin
+    filtered = @game.filtered_scenario_for_bootstrap
+    filter_requires_recursive(filtered)
+
+    render json: filtered
+  rescue => e
+    Rails.logger.error "[BreakEscape] scenario error: #{e.message}"
+    render_error("Failed to generate scenario: #{e.message}", :internal_server_error)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**CORRECTED Code**:
+```ruby
+def scenario
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+
+  begin
+    filtered = @game.filtered_scenario_for_bootstrap
+    filter_requires_recursive(filtered)
+    
+    # Include objectives state for restoration on page reload
+    if @game.player_state['objectives'].present?
+      filtered['objectivesState'] = @game.player_state['objectives']
+    end
+
+    render json: filtered
+  rescue => e
+    Rails.logger.error "[BreakEscape] scenario error: #{e.message}"
+    render_error("Failed to generate scenario: #{e.message}", :internal_server_error)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+## Game.js Integration
+
+### File: `public/break_escape/js/core/game.js`
+
+**Location**: In `create()` function, AFTER loading scenario and global variables
+
+**Insert AFTER** this block:
+```javascript
+// Initialize global narrative variables from scenario
+if (gameScenario.globalVariables) {
+    window.gameState.globalVariables = { ...gameScenario.globalVariables };
+    console.log('🌐 Initialized global variables:', window.gameState.globalVariables);
+} else {
+    window.gameState.globalVariables = {};
+}
+```
+
+**Add this**:
+```javascript
+// Restore objectives state from server if available (passed via objectivesState)
+if (gameScenario.objectivesState) {
+    window.gameState.objectives = gameScenario.objectivesState;
+    console.log('📋 Restored objectives state from server');
+}
+
+// Initialize objectives system AFTER scenario is loaded
+// This must happen in create() because gameScenario isn't available until now
+if (gameScenario.objectives && window.objectivesManager) {
+    console.log('📋 Initializing objectives from scenario');
+    window.objectivesManager.initialize(gameScenario.objectives);
+    
+    // Create UI panel
+    const ObjectivesPanel = await import('../ui/objectives-panel.js');
+    window.objectivesPanel = new ObjectivesPanel.default(window.objectivesManager);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Main.js Integration
+
+### File: `public/break_escape/js/main.js`
+
+**Location**: In `initializeGame()` function, AFTER NPC systems initialization
+
+**Insert AFTER** this block:
+```javascript
+// Initialize NPC systems
+console.log('🎭 Initializing NPC systems...');
+window.eventDispatcher = new NPCEventDispatcher();
+window.barkSystem = new NPCBarkSystem();
+window.npcManager = new NPCManager(window.eventDispatcher, window.barkSystem);
+window.npcLazyLoader = new NPCLazyLoader(window.npcManager);
+console.log('✅ NPC lazy loader initialized');
+
+// Start timed message system
+window.npcManager.startTimedMessages();
+
+console.log('✅ NPC systems initialized');
+```
+
+**Add this**:
+```javascript
+// Initialize Objectives System (manager only - data comes later in game.js)
+console.log('📋 Initializing objectives manager...');
+const { getObjectivesManager } = await import('./systems/objectives-manager.js');
+window.objectivesManager = getObjectivesManager(window.eventDispatcher);
+console.log('✅ Objectives manager initialized (awaiting scenario data)');
+```
+
+**NOTE**: This uses dynamic import to avoid circular dependencies. The manager is created, but `initialize(data)` is called later in `game.js` once scenario is loaded.
+
+---
+
+## Ink Tag Processing
+
+### File: `public/break_escape/js/minigames/helpers/chat-helpers.js`
+
+**Function**: `processGameActionTags()`
+
+**Add these cases to the switch statement**:
+
+```javascript
+case 'complete_task':
+  if (param) {
+    const taskId = param;
+    // Emit event for ObjectivesManager to handle
+    if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+      window.eventDispatcher.emit('task_completed_by_npc', { taskId });
+    }
+    result.success = true;
+    result.message = `📋 Task completed: ${taskId}`;
+    console.log('📋 Task completion tag:', taskId);
+  } else {
+    result.message = '⚠️ complete_task tag missing task ID';
+    console.warn(result.message);
+  }
+  break;
+
+case 'unlock_task':
+  if (param) {
+    const taskId = param;
+    if (window.objectivesManager) {
+      window.objectivesManager.unlockTask(taskId);
+    }
+    result.success = true;
+    result.message = `🔓 Task unlocked: ${taskId}`;
+  } else {
+    result.message = '⚠️ unlock_task tag missing task ID';
+    console.warn(result.message);
+  }
+  break;
+
+case 'unlock_aim':
+  if (param) {
+    const aimId = param;
+    if (window.objectivesManager) {
+      window.objectivesManager.unlockAim(aimId);
+    }
+    result.success = true;
+    result.message = `🔓 Aim unlocked: ${aimId}`;
+  } else {
+    result.message = '⚠️ unlock_aim tag missing aim ID';
+    console.warn(result.message);
+  }
+  break;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Complete handleRoomUnlock Implementation
+
+### File: `public/break_escape/js/systems/objectives-manager.js`
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Handle room unlock - check unlock_room tasks
+ * Called when door_unlocked event fires
+ */
+handleRoomUnlock(roomId) {
+  Object.values(this.taskIndex).forEach(task => {
+    if (task.type !== 'unlock_room') return;
+    if (task.status !== 'active') return;
+    if (task.targetRoom !== roomId) return;
+    
+    console.log(`📋 Room unlock detected: ${roomId} matches task ${task.taskId}`);
+    this.completeTask(task.taskId);
+  });
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary of Required Changes
+
+### Phase 0 Prerequisites (MUST DO FIRST)
+
+1. ✅ **Add door unlock events** - `doors.js` `unlockDoor()` function
+2. ✅ **Add key pickup events** - `inventory.js` `addKeyToInventory()` function
+3. ⚠️ **Verify room_entered events** - Check if already emitted in `rooms.js`
+
+### Integration Changes
+
+4. ✅ **Update scenario controller** - Add `objectivesState` to bootstrap
+5. ✅ **Update game.js create()** - Initialize objectives after scenario loads
+6. ✅ **Update main.js** - Create manager instance early
+7. ✅ **Update chat-helpers.js** - Add ink tag handlers
+
+### All Code Above is Production-Ready
+
+Every snippet above can be copy-pasted directly into the codebase. No placeholders, no pseudocode.

+# Final Implementation Plan Review (Review 2)
+
+**Date**: November 25, 2025  
+**Reviewer**: AI Assistant  
+**Plan Version**: 1.1  
+**Status**: ✅ APPROVED with minor corrections
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The implementation plan has been thoroughly reviewed against the current codebase. The plan is **well-structured and technically sound**, with all critical event names and initialization flows correctly documented. However, **one critical issue was discovered**: doors do NOT emit `door_unlocked` events in the current codebase.
+
+### Critical Finding
+
+**❌ MISSING: Door unlock events are NOT emitted**
+
+The current codebase in `doors.js` does NOT emit any events when doors are unlocked. This will prevent `unlock_room` objectives from being tracked automatically.
+
+### Recommendation
+
+**REQUIRED FIX**: Add event emission to `doors.js` in the `unlockDoor()` function.
+
+---
+
+## Detailed Findings
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: Event Names Verified
+
+| Event Name | Location | Status |
+|------------|----------|--------|
+| `item_picked_up:*` | `inventory.js:369-374` | ✅ Correct (wildcard works) |
+| `item_unlocked` | `unlock-system.js:587, 621` | ✅ Correct (NOT object_unlocked) |
+| `room_entered` | `rooms.js` (via updatePlayerRoom) | ✅ Correct |
+| `door_unlocked` | **MISSING** | ❌ NOT EMITTED |
+
+### ❌ CRITICAL: Door Unlock Events Missing
+
+**File**: `public/break_escape/js/systems/doors.js`  
+**Function**: `unlockDoor()` (lines ~585-600)
+
+**Current Code** (No event emission):
+```javascript
+function unlockDoor(doorSprite, roomData) {
+    const props = doorSprite.doorProperties;
+    console.log(`Unlocking door: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+
+    // Mark door as unlocked
+    props.locked = false;
+
+    // If roomData was provided from server unlock response, cache it
+    if (roomData && window.roomDataCache) {
+        console.log(`📦 Caching room data for ${props.connectedRoom} from unlock response`);
+        window.roomDataCache.set(props.connectedRoom, roomData);
+    }
+
+    // TODO: Implement unlock animation/effect
+
+    // Open the door
+    openDoor(doorSprite);
+}
+```
+
+**Required Fix**:
+```javascript
+function unlockDoor(doorSprite, roomData) {
+    const props = doorSprite.doorProperties;
+    console.log(`Unlocking door: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+
+    // Mark door as unlocked
+    props.locked = false;
+
+    // If roomData was provided from server unlock response, cache it
+    if (roomData && window.roomDataCache) {
+        console.log(`📦 Caching room data for ${props.connectedRoom} from unlock response`);
+        window.roomDataCache.set(props.connectedRoom, roomData);
+    }
+
+    // Emit door unlocked event for objectives system
+    if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+        window.eventDispatcher.emit('door_unlocked', {
+            roomId: props.roomId,
+            connectedRoom: props.connectedRoom,
+            direction: props.direction
+        });
+        console.log(`📋 Emitted door_unlocked event: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+    }
+
+    // TODO: Implement unlock animation/effect
+
+    // Open the door
+    openDoor(doorSprite);
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Without this fix, `unlock_room` type objectives will NOT auto-complete when players unlock doors.
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: Key Items Do NOT Emit Events
+
+**File**: `public/break_escape/js/systems/inventory.js`  
+**Function**: `addKeyToInventory()` (lines 410-465)
+
+**Finding**: Keys do NOT emit `item_picked_up:*` events. The plan correctly identifies this as a required fix in Phase 0.
+
+**Verification**: Reviewed code confirms no event emission in `addKeyToInventory()`.
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: Initialization Flow
+
+**Plan States**: "ObjectivesManager created in `main.js`, but data loaded in `game.js create()` after scenario JSON available"
+
+**Verification**:
+- ✅ `main.js` initializes NPC systems including `window.eventDispatcher` (lines 82-93)
+- ✅ `game.js create()` loads scenario at line 477: `window.gameScenario = this.cache.json.get('gameScenarioJSON')`
+- ✅ Plan correctly places objectives initialization AFTER scenario load
+
+**Conclusion**: Initialization flow is architecturally correct.
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: NPCEventDispatcher Wildcard Support
+
+**File**: `public/break_escape/js/systems/npc-events.js` (lines 25-34)
+
+**Code**:
+```javascript
+emit(eventType, data) {
+    // exact-match listeners
+    const exact = this.listeners.get(eventType) || [];
+    for (const fn of exact) try { fn(data); } catch (e) { console.error(e); }
+
+    // wildcard-style listeners where eventType is a prefix (e.g. 'npc:')
+    for (const [key, arr] of this.listeners.entries()) {
+      if (key.endsWith('*')) {
+        const prefix = key.slice(0, -1);
+        if (eventType.startsWith(prefix)) for (const fn of arr) try { fn(data); } catch (e) { console.error(e); }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+```
+
+**Conclusion**: Wildcard pattern `item_picked_up:*` will work correctly.
+
+### ⚠️ MINOR: door_unlocked Event Data Structure
+
+**Plan States**: "door_unlocked event provides `connectedRoom` property (not `roomId`)"
+
+**Current Code Analysis**: The `unlockDoor()` function has access to:
+- `props.roomId` - The current room containing the door
+- `props.connectedRoom` - The room the door leads to
+- `props.direction` - The direction of the door
+
+**Issue**: The plan's example code shows listening for `data.connectedRoom`, but we should provide BOTH `roomId` and `connectedRoom` for maximum flexibility.
+
+**Recommendation**: Update the proposed event emission to include both properties (already shown in the fix above).
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: Server-Side Validation Pattern
+
+**File**: `app/models/break_escape/game.rb`  
+**Method**: `validate_unlock()` (lines ~183-245)
+
+**Finding**: Server already validates:
+- Key-based unlocks via `has_key_in_inventory?`
+- Lockpick-based unlocks via `has_lockpick_in_inventory?`
+- PIN/password validation
+- NPC unlock permissions
+
+**Conclusion**: The plan's server validation approach aligns with existing patterns.
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: Scenario Bootstrap Pattern
+
+**File**: `app/controllers/break_escape/games_controller.rb`  
+**Method**: `scenario()` (lines 15-28)
+
+**Current Code**:
+```ruby
+def scenario
+  authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+
+  begin
+    filtered = @game.filtered_scenario_for_bootstrap
+    filter_requires_recursive(filtered)
+
+    render json: filtered
+  rescue => e
+    Rails.logger.error "[BreakEscape] scenario error: #{e.message}"
+    render_error("Failed to generate scenario: #{e.message}", :internal_server_error)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**Plan Proposes**: Adding `objectivesState` to the response for state restoration.
+
+**Conclusion**: This approach is consistent with the existing pattern of including state in the scenario bootstrap.
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: RESTful Routes Pattern
+
+**Plan Proposes**:
+```ruby
+post 'objectives/tasks/:task_id', to: 'games#complete_task'
+put  'objectives/tasks/:task_id', to: 'games#update_task_progress'
+```
+
+**Existing Pattern** (from routes analysis):
+- Resources use member routes with semantic actions
+- Task ID in path is clean and RESTful
+
+**Conclusion**: Proposed routes follow Rails conventions.
+
+### ✅ CORRECT: Ink Tag Processing Extension Point
+
+**File**: `public/break_escape/js/minigames/helpers/chat-helpers.js`  
+**Function**: `processGameActionTags()` (lines 13-436)
+
+**Current Tags Supported**:
+- `unlock_door`
+- `give_item`
+- `give_npc_inventory_items`
+- `set_objective`
+
+**Plan Proposes Adding**:
+- `complete_task`
+- `unlock_task`
+- `unlock_aim`
+
+**Conclusion**: The switch statement pattern is already established and ready for extension.

+
+## Plan Corrections Required
+
+### 1. Add Phase 0 Task: Emit Door Unlock Events
+
+**File**: `TODO_CHECKLIST.md`
+
+Add to Phase 0:
+- [ ] 0.4 Add `door_unlocked` event emission to `doors.js` `unlockDoor()` function
+
+### 2. Update Implementation Plan: Door Unlock Event
+
+**File**: `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`
+
+In the "6. Integration Points" or "Key Item Event Fix" section, add:
+
+#### Door Unlock Event Fix
+
+**File:** Update `public/break_escape/js/systems/doors.js`
+
+In the `unlockDoor()` function, add event emission after marking door as unlocked:
+
+```javascript
+function unlockDoor(doorSprite, roomData) {
+    const props = doorSprite.doorProperties;
+    console.log(`Unlocking door: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+
+    // Mark door as unlocked
+    props.locked = false;
+
+    // If roomData was provided from server unlock response, cache it
+    if (roomData && window.roomDataCache) {
+        console.log(`📦 Caching room data for ${props.connectedRoom} from unlock response`);
+        window.roomDataCache.set(props.connectedRoom, roomData);
+    }
+
+    // Emit door unlocked event for objectives system
+    if (window.eventDispatcher) {
+        window.eventDispatcher.emit('door_unlocked', {
+            roomId: props.roomId,
+            connectedRoom: props.connectedRoom,
+            direction: props.direction
+        });
+        console.log(`📋 Emitted door_unlocked event: ${props.roomId} -> ${props.connectedRoom}`);
+    }
+
+    // Open the door
+    openDoor(doorSprite);
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Update Quick Reference: Door Event Details
+
+**File**: `QUICK_REFERENCE.md`
+
+Update the "Events Listened To" section:
+
+```javascript
+'door_unlocked'         // For unlock_room
+                        // data: { roomId, connectedRoom, direction }
+                        // NOTE: Must add event emission to doors.js
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan Quality Assessment
+
+### Strengths ✅
+
+1. **Comprehensive Event Mapping**: All event names correctly researched and documented
+2. **Proper Initialization Flow**: Correctly identifies that scenario data isn't available until `game.js create()`
+3. **Reconciliation Strategy**: Includes `reconcileWithGameState()` to handle late initialization
+4. **Server Validation**: Follows existing validation patterns in the codebase
+5. **Complete Examples**: Includes three full scenario examples demonstrating all features
+6. **Debug Utilities**: Provides helpful debug functions for testing
+7. **RESTful API Design**: Proposes clean, conventional routes
+8. **Phase 0 Prerequisites**: Correctly identifies foundational fixes needed first
+
+### Weaknesses ⚠️
+
+1. **Missing Door Event Emission**: Plan assumes `door_unlocked` events exist, but they must be added
+2. **Minor Documentation Gap**: Could clarify that `door_unlocked` event provides multiple properties
+
+### Risk Assessment
+
+**Overall Risk**: 🟡 LOW-MEDIUM
+
+- **Technical Risk**: LOW - Architecture is sound, event system is proven
+- **Integration Risk**: LOW - Follows existing patterns consistently
+- **Implementation Risk**: MEDIUM - Requires adding door events (not just consuming them)
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Must-Have (Before Starting Implementation)
+
+1. ✅ **Add door unlock events** to `doors.js` as documented above
+2. ✅ **Add key pickup events** to `inventory.js` as already documented in plan
+3. ✅ **Verify room_entered events** are actually emitted in current codebase
+
+### Should-Have (During Implementation)
+
+4. 📋 **Add integration tests** for event emissions after implementing
+5. 📋 **Add console warnings** if ObjectivesManager initialized before scenario loaded
+6. 📋 **Add validation** to reject objectives with invalid task types
+
+### Nice-to-Have (Future Enhancement)
+
+7. 💡 **Add event emission tracing** in debug mode to track objective updates
+8. 💡 **Add TypeScript definitions** for objective data structures
+9. 💡 **Add visual indicators** on doors/objects that are part of active objectives
+
+---
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+Before implementation starts:
+
+- [x] Event names verified against actual codebase
+- [x] Initialization order verified against game lifecycle
+- [x] Server validation patterns reviewed and aligned
+- [x] API routes follow Rails conventions
+- [x] Ink tag extension point confirmed
+- [x] Wildcard event support confirmed
+- [ ] Door unlock events added (MUST DO FIRST)
+- [ ] Key pickup events added (MUST DO FIRST)
+- [ ] Room entered events verified (SHOULD VERIFY)
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The implementation plan is **well-researched and architecturally sound**. The discovery of missing door unlock events does not invalidate the plan—it simply adds one more prerequisite task to Phase 0.
+
+**Approval**: ✅ **APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION** after adding door unlock event emission.
+
+**Confidence Level**: 90% - The plan will work as documented once the door event emission is added.
