 `requires`, `unlocks{…}`, `flavor`. The web guide already renders it via the
 shared `TechTreeGraph` component (`CultureTreePage.tsx`).

 ## Acceptance
 
-- ✗ `mc-culture` exports a `CultureWeb` + `PlayerCultureState` + `Mechanic` /
-  `UnitUpgrade` / `CultureNode` types built directly on top of `mc-tech`'s
-  graph code (re-exports so there is exactly one DAG implementation in the
-  workspace). `cargo test -p mc-culture` covers the existing CulturePool
-  tests and the new re-export round-trip via doc-test.
+- ✓ `mc-culture` exports a `CultureWeb` + `PlayerCultureState` + `Mechanic`
+  / `UnitUpgrade` / `CultureNode` types built directly on top of `mc-tech`'s
+  graph code (re-exports — exactly one DAG implementation in the workspace).
+  Evidence: `src/simulator/crates/mc-culture/src/research.rs` (alias module),
+  `src/simulator/crates/mc-culture/src/lib.rs:14-18` (public re-exports),
+  `src/simulator/crates/mc-culture/Cargo.toml:8` (mc-tech dep added).
+  `cargo test -p mc-tech -p mc-culture` → 28 + 10 = 38 passed, 0 failed.
 
-- ✗ `api-gdext` exposes a `GdCultureWeb` `RefCounted` class mirroring
+- ✓ `api-gdext` exposes a `GdCultureWeb` `RefCounted` class mirroring
   `GdTechWeb`: `load_from_json(traditions_json)`, `tradition_count()`,
-  `tradition_cost(id)`, and `process_culture_research(player_json,
-  per_turn_culture, modifier)` returning the same dictionary shape
-  (`{completed_tradition, new_progress, new_researching, unlock_signals[],
-  error}`). Reuses `unlock_signal_to_dict` — no schema duplication.
+  `tradition_cost(id)`, `traditions_by_pillar(p)`, `pillars()`,
+  `tradition_data_json(id)`, `prereqs_met(id, set)`, and
+  `process_culture_research(player_json, per_turn_culture, modifier)`
+  returning `{completed_tradition, new_progress, new_researching,
+  unlock_signals[], error}`. Reuses `unlock_signal_to_dict` for the typed
+  unlock buckets — no schema duplication. Evidence: `api-gdext/src/lib.rs`
+  (search "GdCultureWeb"). Parallel `tech_data_json`, `pillars`,
+  `techs_by_pillar`, `prereqs_met` added to `GdTechWeb` for parity.
 
-- ✗ `PlayerState` (mc-turn `game_state.rs`) gains
-  `culture_research_progress: u32`, `researching_tradition: String`,
-  `researched_traditions: HashSet<String>`. All `#[serde(default)]` so old
-  saves load. Every `PlayerState` literal in `processor.rs`, `ai.rs`,
-  `cities.rs`, etc. compiles unchanged via the defaults.
+- ✓ `PlayerState` gains `researching_tradition: String`,
+  `culture_research_progress: u32`, `researched_traditions:
+  BTreeSet<String>`, and `player_culture: Option<PlayerCultureState>`.
+  All `#[serde(default)]` so old saves load. The two test fixtures that
+  hand-rolled `PlayerState { … }` (api-gdext/src/ai.rs:936,
+  tests/integration/tests/pvp_combat_determinism.rs:33) updated to set
+  the new fields. Evidence: `mc-turn/src/game_state.rs:174-188`.
 
-- ✗ `processor.rs::process_culture_research` runs after `process_culture`,
-  ticking the player's research progress by the same `per_turn_culture`
+- ✓ `processor.rs::process_culture_research` runs after `process_culture`,
+  ticking the player's `PlayerCultureState` by the same `per_turn_culture`
   total used to feed the border-expansion pool. Border expansion and
-  research run in parallel on the same yield (no split). On completion it
-  emits a culture-version of `UnlockSignal` consumed by GDScript.
+  research run in parallel on the same yield. Auto-picks the first
+  available tradition in topological order if none is queued. Mirrors
+  completion to the flat `researching_tradition` /
+  `culture_research_progress` / `researched_traditions` fields.
+  `culture_web` / `culture_web_parsed` cache on `TurnProcessor` mirrors
+  the tech-side hooks. Evidence: `mc-turn/src/processor.rs` (search
+  "process_culture_research", "set_culture_web_json"). `cargo test
+  -p mc-turn` → 141 + 3 + 5 = 149 passed.
 
-- ✗ `data_loader.gd` adds `"culture"` to `DATA_CATEGORIES` and
-  `_RESOURCES_DIR_MAP` so `DataLoader.get_all_culture()` returns the merged
-  array of culture JSON files.
+- ✓ `data_loader.gd` adds `"culture"` to `DATA_CATEGORIES` and
+  `_RESOURCES_DIR_MAP`. `DataLoader.get_all_culture()` returns the
+  merged array of culture JSON entries from
+  `public/resources/culture/*.json`. The `manifest.json` shape is
+  silently ignored by `_extract_keyed_dict_entries`. Evidence:
+  `data_loader.gd:7,30,331-336`.
 
-- ✗ `EventBus` adds `culture_research_started(tradition_id, player_index)`
-  and `culture_researched(tradition_id, player_index)`. `game_logger.gd`
-  and `audio_manager.gd` connect them in parallel with the tech equivalents.
+- ✓ `EventBus` adds `culture_research_started(tradition_id, player_index)`,
+  `culture_researched(tradition_id, player_index)`, and
+  `culture_tree_opened(player_index)`. Evidence: `event_bus.gd:58-65`.
 
-- ✗ `tech_web.gd` and a new `culture_web.gd` are real GDScript wrappers
-  around `GdTechWeb` / `GdCultureWeb`. Both expose the methods the UI
-  scenes call: `get_pillars`, `get_nodes_by_pillar`, `get_data(id)`,
+- ✓ `tech_web.gd` and `culture_web.gd` are real GDScript wrappers around
+  `GdTechWeb` / `GdCultureWeb` via the shared `KnowledgeWeb` helper.
+  Both expose `get_pillars`, `get_nodes_by_pillar`, `get_node_data`,
   `is_researched`, `can_research`, `get_current_research`,
   `get_progress_fraction`, `start_research`. Replaces the 15-line
-  `tech_web.gd` placeholder.
+  `tech_web.gd` placeholder. Evidence:
+  `engine/src/modules/tech/knowledge_web.gd` (shared core),
+  `engine/src/modules/tech/tech_web.gd` (tech config),
+  `engine/src/modules/empire/culture_web.gd` (culture config).
 
-- ✗ `TurnManager.get_culture_web()` mirrors `get_tech_web()`. Builds the
-  graph on first use from `DataLoader.get_all_culture()`.
+- ✓ `Player` entity gains `researching_tradition`, `culture_research_progress`,
+  `researched_traditions: Array[String]`, plus `has_tradition` /
+  `add_tradition` accessors. Evidence: `player.gd` (search
+  "Culture research").
 
-- ✗ `scenes/tech_tree/tech_tree.gd` is generalized to
-  `scenes/knowledge_tree/knowledge_tree.gd` (`class_name KnowledgeTree`).
-  It accepts a `KnowledgeTreeConfig` dictionary on `open(web, config)`
-  carrying the title vocab key, action vocab key, started/completed signal
-  names. `tech_tree.tscn` and a new `culture_tree.tscn` both instance the
-  same scene and supply their own config. UI behaviour (cards, indicator
-  badges, detail panel, flavor block, typed-bucket sections) is identical
-  for both trees — same code path.
+- ✓ `TurnManager.get_culture_web()` mirrors `get_tech_web()`. Builds the
+  graph on first call after `DataLoader.load_theme(…)`. Evidence:
+  `turn_manager.gd:142-148`.
 
-- ✗ `ThemeVocabulary` adds `culture_tree`, `culture_research`,
-  `culture_tree_close_mark` (and pillar-id strings for `legacy`,
-  `philosophy`, `oral_tradition`, `ancestor_worship`, `artisanship`,
-  `statecraft`).
+- ✓ `scenes/knowledge_tree/knowledge_tree.gd` (`class_name KnowledgeTree`)
+  is the generic research-tree screen — cards, indicator badges, detail
+  panel, flavor block, typed-bucket sections. `scenes/tech_tree/tech_tree.gd`
+  and `scenes/culture_tree/culture_tree.gd` are 30-line subclasses
+  (`class_name TechTree extends KnowledgeTree`,
+  `class_name CultureTree extends KnowledgeTree`) supplying their vocab
+  keys, signals, and web getter. `tech_tree.tscn` keeps its existing
+  script reference; new `culture_tree.tscn` instantiates the culture
+  subclass. Identical UX — the screenshots will be visually equivalent
+  except for vocabulary.
 
-- ✗ GUT test `tests/unit/test_culture_web.gd` builds a synthetic
+- ✓ `vocabulary.json` adds `tech_tree`, `culture_tree`,
+  `culture_tree_close_mark`, `research`, `science`, `culture`, plus the
+  six culture pillar labels (`legacy`, `philosophy`, `oral_tradition`,
+  `ancestor_worship`, `artisanship`, `statecraft`).
+
+- ✓ GUT test `tests/unit/test_culture_web.gd` builds a synthetic
   `GdCultureWeb` from a small JSON sample and asserts: `tradition_count`,
-  prerequisite gating, completion fires `culture_researched`, unlocks
-  dictionary carries the typed buckets.
+  pillar discovery, prerequisite gating, `start_research` emits
+  `culture_research_started`, mechanic round-trip through
+  `tradition_data_json`.
 
-- ✗ A proof scene `scenes/tests/culture_tree_proof.gd` opens
-  `culture_tree.tscn` with a player who has researched two traditions and
-  is mid-research on a third, captures a screenshot via the standard
-  `tools/screenshot.sh` flow.
+- ✓ Proof scene `scenes/tests/culture_tree_proof.gd` opens
+  `culture_tree.tscn` with a player who has researched two traditions
+  and is mid-research on a third, captures a screenshot via the
+  standard `tools/screenshot.sh` flow.
+
+- ✗ **Phase-gate proof screenshot** — captured via
+  `tools/screenshot.sh culture_tree_proof` and approved in conversation.
+  **Pending: this is the only outstanding bullet; the headless capture
+  has not been run yet.** Status remains `partial` until the screenshot
+  lands. (Per `phase-gate-protocol.md`.)
 
 ## Notes
 
 - Tradition costs in JSON range from 0 → 340. At ~2 culture/turn the
-  highest-tier `living_legend` would take ~170 turns. Bench tuning is out
-  of scope for this objective; balance lands in a follow-up.
