Docs: adopt End-of-Month slice as Decision-Gate answer + SL-1..7 plan (DR-035)

Reconcile the roadmap to the just-committed End_Of_Month_Game_Jam_Slice
("Awakening Engine Last Stand"). 9-agent grounded code audit: 13/14 slice
systems already shipped; END-2 (final siege + latching win) is the one
blocker. Decision Gate answered early as ship-the-minimum.

- DR-035 (new): adopt the slice; END-2 charge cadence LOCKED siege-survived-only
- Backlog: NEXT reframed to the slice + SL-1..SL-7 milestones (END-2 = SL-3, critical path)
- Milestones: close ledger gap (MC-1 PASS / MC-4 / base-mining / EB-1 / EB-2 / END-1) + slice row
- Path_to_Fun: top pointer (stays long-term north-star; Path B untouched)
- Slice doc: Status & Navigation cross-links

CLAUDE.md intentionally unchanged (no budget headroom; conventions doc, uncontradicted).

 # Path to Fun — the north-star roadmap
 
+> **[ACTIVE JUNE 13–30 → the slice]** Path A's spine is built — a 2026-06-13 code audit found **13/14 systems shipped** (MC-0/1/4 · EB-1/2 · END-1). The operator answered the [Decision Gate](#the-decision-gate-mandatory-stop-after-end2) **early, as *ship the minimum***: the immediate target is the **[[End_Of_Month_Game_Jam_Slice]]** ("Awakening Engine Last Stand"), a compact single-arena base-defense demo due June 30. The one un-built spine mechanic — **END-2** (final siege + latching win, spec'd [below](#end-2--the-charge-means-something-the-cap-arms-a-final-siege-win-or-lose)) — is the slice's critical path. This doc stays the **north-star for the full game**; the slice scopes Path A to a deliverable. Milestone breakdown: [[Backlog#NEXT — Awakening Engine Last Stand (End-of-Month Slice) ★]] · adoption: [[DR-035_End_Of_Month_Slice_Adoption]]. *(Path B is untouched and provisional; the formal ship-vs-continue note is logged after June 30.)*
+
 > The plan to turn an engineering-complete foundation into a game that's fun to play. Direction locked in [[DR-028_Combat_Primary_Verb_Depth_First]]. This is the **forward** plan; [[Milestones]] stays the historical record, [[Backlog]] the loose pool. Living doc: the [Path A contract table](#path-a--the-proven-path-to-a-point-committed) is the only committed scope; everything in [Path B](#path-b--the-forever-track-provisional-not-scheduled) is provisional and re-derived after Path A's fun-gates pass.
