Known limitations
- Masala Mound is a product hypothesis. No human study in this repository proves that it makes people sleepy, creates a particular dopamine effect, improves general memory, or improves sleep.
- Gentle and Deeper are product preferences, not validated measures of ability. Automation proves that Deeper’s opening is structurally tighter, but no human timing or perceived-challenge study proves that people find it substantially harder or typically spend fifteen minutes on it. Rasoi Image Drift is an unvalidated screen-away hypothesis and may feel neutral, helpful, or unhelpful to different people.
- The Punjabi-inspired material direction has not completed human Punjabi cultural-authenticity review.
- Browser automation verifies native semantics, keyboard operation, reduced motion, 200% zoom, and target size; real-device VoiceOver and TalkBack acceptance remains pending.
- Chromium verifies the offline PWA and release surfaces. Broader installed Safari and Android proof remains pending.
- The canonical GitHub Pages route, rendered QR destination, service-worker control, same-origin requests, and offline reload are browser-verified. A physical-device QR scan remains pending.
- The iOS Wall is deferred. No Family Controls entitlement, native interception, notification, or App Store capability is claimed.
- Navakankari, Aadu Puli Aattam, and Pallanguzhi are bounded sourced rule studies, not complete traditional matches or proof of one definitive regional ruleset. Their cultural framing has not completed representative human review.
- Grand Salon games are authored entertainment. They have not been normed on a representative adult sample and do not produce a validated population-normed, percentile, diagnostic, or cognitive-trait result.
- The assessment-readiness module is a fail-closed evidence inventory, not validation evidence. It authorizes neither research collection nor public output.
- Sector Sprint is an authored entertainment route. Automation establishes deterministic mechanics, bounded effects, Chromium input latency, and frame pacing; no human evidence establishes AAA quality, representative adult enjoyment, cultural authenticity, a particular challenge curve, tiredness, or a sleep effect. Native Mobile Safari performance remains unverified.
- Automated browser coverage completes all eight games, exercises the three classic-study boards plus Sector Sprint controls and narration, and verifies keyboard focus and semantic Stack state. It does not establish equivalent task meaning for alternative sensory presentations or replace real-device assistive-technology testing.
These are visible limits, not shipped claims hidden in a backlog.
