Purpose

Schedule the four phases that deliver the Higher Lower game (BC-001 objectives O1–O5) as a small, tested, documented Python project, with S01 reviewing each phase through its own branch and pull request.

Planning Assumptions

• Week 1 starts 2026-10-04; the plan ends by 2026-10-14 (the Business Case sets no hard date; this is the author's evening-sized target, see Open Issues).
• One phase per branch and pull request, each closing its issues.
• Nothing under src/ or tests/ before the milestone is accepted and the task is a row in it.
• Only S01 reviews (SA-001).

Gateway Schedule

Gateway	Document	Window	Decision date	Owner	Stories	Main deliverable	Milestone
Project setup	MIL-001	2026-10-04 – 2026-10-06	2026-10-06	S01	—	pyproject, Doxyfile, skeleton, repo metadata
Game logic	MIL-002	2026-10-07 – 2026-10-09	2026-10-09	S01	—	Data, art, constants, pure functions, tests
Console game	MIL-003	2026-10-10 – 2026-10-12	2026-10-12	S01	—	Playable game loop with score, tests

Scope Coverage

Business Case scope item	Gateway
src/, tests/, docs/ layout, pyproject.toml, .gitignore, Doxyfile	MIL-001
Repository description and topics	MIL-001
Assignment data set, logo and vs art	MIL-002
Random pair selection, answer checking	MIL-002
Console game, score tracking	MIL-003
README.md, venv and test instructions	MIL-004

Dependencies

MIL-001 → MIL-002 → MIL-003 → MIL-004

A No-Go on any phase moves all later windows by the rework time.

Plan Risks

Risk	Impact	Mitigation
README template not supplied	README task blocked	Ask S01 before MIL-004 starts
Host token missing or lacking scope	Cannot sync issues or set topics	Token read from .env for personal use only; ask S01 if absent
Doxygen not installed locally	Cannot verify docs build	Treat as a No-Go note; install or review comments manually

Open Issues

• README template: the brief says "using the template below" but none was included. Needed before MIL-004.
• Python version: "greater than 3.13" is planned as >=3.13; confirm if strictly 3.14+ is meant.
• Target dates are proposed, not stated in the brief; confirm.
• The brief links the organisation; the origin remote is the repository 014-higher_lower within it, which is what will be synced.
