Watershed
A single WaterStorage game designed in two forms at once: a persistent CookieBlob room and a physical Game Crafter prototype. The browser and tabletop versions share the same phase IDs, state changes, and transition tests.
One system, two terrains
CookieBlob gives the visitor a revisitable browser watershed with local persistence, trace history, and seed export.
Game Crafter gives the same transitions physical form through a basin mat, phase cards, tokens, and a written session trace.
WaterStorage supplies the shared logic: information moves through phases rather than sitting permanently in one place.

The cycle
The first build proves the opening movement before expanding the whole loop.
Shared first slice
W01 — Ocean Acknowledged
Name the signal or source. Record the transition. No numeric change.
W02 — Evaporation
When energy and flow are available, spend one of each and add one cloud. If the action is blocked, pressure rises and the phase remains open.
Build rule
Every new phase is defined once in the parity matrix, implemented in both formats, tested on success and block paths, and only then expanded.
The project favors creeks before lakes: small, inspectable transitions before a large deck of untested content.
