 - ✗ Asymmetric Hard vs Normal, 10 seeds: Hard wins ≥ 7/10. Hard's median tier_peak exceeds Normal's by ≥ 1 era.
 - ✗ `difficulty.json` documents the exact knobs each tier modifies (build-speed multipliers, AI aggression clamps, MCTS rollout budgets, yield bonuses). Each knob has a rationale comment.
 
+## Status note (2026-04-18)
+
+`difficulty.json` defines four tiers (easy/normal/hard/insane) with
+`ai_modifiers.{production_mult, research_mult, gold_mult, combat_bonus,
+extra_starting_units, starting_gold_bonus}`. Grep confirms only
+`mc-tech::costs.rs` currently reads the tier (for research cost scaling);
+`mc-ai` + the tactical executor do NOT consume the production / gold / unit
+bonuses, so the knobs are data-only at the decision layer.
+
+**Pre-work required before batches can be run:**
+1. Wire `ai_modifiers.production_mult` into `mc-ai::tactical::production` (or
+   thread it through `TacticalState.player_stats.production_bonus`) so AI
+   production outputs scale per tier.
+2. Wire `starting_gold_bonus` + `extra_starting_units` into the engine-side
+   setup path (`auto_play.gd` or `game_state.gd` init).
+3. Surface the difficulty id through the game-setup env (`AI_DIFFICULTY=easy|normal|hard`)
+   + plumb down to both the mc-tech cost multiplier and the new mc-ai tactical
+   hook.
+4. Unblock p0-01's gameplay-balance issue first — tier differentiation cannot
+   be measured while every tier resolves T39-T100 via rush-domination.

 ## Depends on
 
-- **p0-25** — new `turn_stats.jsonl` instrumentation (`tier_peak`, `peak_unit_tier`, `wonder_count`). Cannot measure without the fields.
-- **p0-01** — MCTS must be the AI driver under test.
+- **p0-25** — new `turn_stats.jsonl` instrumentation (`tier_peak`, `peak_unit_tier`, `wonder_count`). ✅ done.
+- **p0-01** — MCTS driver under test; also carries the balance-tune blocker.
 - **p0-02** — clan personalities multiplied into each difficulty tier; Easy-Blackhammer must still behave aggressively but less efficiently than Normal-Blackhammer.
+- **p0-26** — tactical AI port. ✅ done 2026-04-18; tactical knob hooks must now land in `mc-ai::tactical`, not the deleted GDScript executor.
