+**Status:** User-verified; identity, interaction, and UIUX visual gates passed. Committed and pushed on the Phase 20 feature branch; no merge has been made.
 
 **UI authority:** [Phase 20a UI/UX](phase_20a_stage_identities_and_names_ui_ux.md). The [Phase 20 design brief](../plans/action_reactions_design_brief.md) records the product decisions. This slice supplies stable identities and readable names for placed characters and props, and makes overlapping object selection match the approved mockup. Action plans, reaction links, and runtime event routing belong to Phases 20b–20e.
