The setter delegates JSON parsing into `mc_core::ScoringWeights::from_personality_json` (single SoT). 3-player smoke output evidence: `{"clan_id":"blackhammer","slot":1,"type":"ai_personality_assigned"}{"clan_id":"deepforge","slot":2,"type":"ai_personality_assigned"}`.

-- ⚠ Headless smoke test: 5 EndTurns vs an AI clan produces non-trivial AI action chains. **Plumbing verified end-to-end; AI behavioural inertness past turn 0 is a separate (deeper) issue.** Re-run 2026-05-12 at p2-67 Phase 11 commit `ff7198346` (TurnProcessor::step now ticks every EndTurn): Claude's view advances visibly turn-over-turn (food_stored 0→10, gold 60→100, unit_count 3→6, science_per_turn 0→42 — recorded at `apricot:/tmp/wave2-smoke-output.txt`), confirming the original Wave-final diagnosis ("bench isn't ticking, AI sees the same state every turn") was partially wrong. AI side still emits `actions_applied=1` on turn 0 per slot and `=0` on turns 1-4. Root cause is NOT a step-ticking gap; it is the bench projector's degenerate search space — `project_tactical` populates an empty unit_catalog, zero per-tile yields, and no move-cost data, so `decide_tactical_actions` returns empty after the turn-0 founding pass. Open follow-up `pX-bench-projector-enrichment` to widen the projector. Flips to ✓ once the projector has enough surface for `decide_tactical_actions` to find work past turn 0.

Turn 1 emits `actions_applied=1` on both AI slots (`Action::EnqueueBuild` of tier-1 units, varying by clan); turns 2-5 still emit `0` — root cause is no longer the projector, it's (a) single production queue saturates after turn 1, (b) militarist starter has no settler/founder so `FoundCity` never fires, (c) idle warriors find no movement target. Bullet stays ⚠ until p2-71b widens starter inventory or `decide_tactical_actions` emits fallback Fortify.
 - ✓ Determinism: same `(seed, state, weights)` produces byte-identical action sequences across two runs. Verified Wave 3 `run_ai_turn_is_byte_deterministic` — JSON-string equality, not just `len()`.
 
 **Status:** `partial` (8/9 ✓, 1 ⚠ conditional on p2-67 Phase 11). Harness loader bullet flipped ✓ via Wave-final 2026-05-11 (commit `2de1880db`, gdext rebuild on apricot, 2-player + 3-player smoke runs both emit `ai_personality_assigned` notification per AI slot with deterministic clan mapping). 5-EndTurn smoke bullet flips to ⚠ — plumbing verified, action depth limited to turn 0 because `TurnProcessor::step` is not wired into `apply_end_turn` (owned by p2-67 Phase 11). Will flip to ✓ when Phase 11 lands as a downstream consequence — the same smoke harness will then surface a multi-turn chain.

 ## Acceptance
 
-- ☐ `mc-player-api::projection::project_tactical` populates `unit_catalog`, `building_catalog`, per-tile yields, `strategic_axes`, personality weights.
+- ☑ `mc-player-api::projection::project_tactical` populates `unit_catalog`, `building_catalog`, `strategic_axes`, personality weights (`clan_id`, `promotion_*_weight`). [evidence: `crates/mc-player-api/src/projection.rs:442-470`; tests `tactical_carries_unit_catalog_from_state`, `tactical_carries_building_catalog_from_state`, `tactical_clan_id_round_trips_through_player_state`, `tactical_promotion_weights_round_trip`]
-- ☐ `BuildingsCatalog` exists (or `UnitsCatalog`'s pattern is reused).
+- ⚠ Per-tile yields: **deferred** — bench `TileState` carries no food/prod/gold triple (only biome label + ecology fields). The closest formula `mc_city::yield_fold::tile_yields_from_collectibles` reads collectibles, not biome→yield. p2-71-followup tracks porting a biome-yield lookup into the projector. The 5-turn smoke does not block on this — see findings below.
-- ☐ `GdPlayerApi` accepts catalog handles at construction.
+- ☑ `BuildingsCatalog` exists as `Vec<TacticalBuildingSpec>` held on `GameState::ai_building_catalog` (mirror of `UnitsCatalog` pattern, simpler since the building catalog is consumed only by the projector — no runtime sim need). [evidence: `crates/mc-turn/src/game_state.rs:336-358`]
-- ☐ 5-EndTurn smoke shows `actions_applied > 0` for AI slots on turns 1-5.
+- ☑ `GdPlayerApi` accepts catalog handles via setters: `set_units_catalog_json`, `set_buildings_catalog_json`, `set_difficulty_threshold_mult`, plus `unit_catalog_len` / `building_catalog_len` debug readers. [evidence: `api-gdext/src/player_api.rs`]
-- ☐ AI action variants differ by personality (sample: blackhammer vs deepforge produce non-identical chains).
+- ⚠ 5-EndTurn smoke shows `actions_applied > 0` on AI slots **for turn 1 only**; turns 2-5 emit `actions_applied=0`. [evidence: `scripts/claude-smoke-5endturn.sh` run on apricot 2026-05-11, both AI slots emit 1 action on turn 1 (`Action::EnqueueBuild` of a tier-1 unit), zero thereafter.]
-- ☐ Unit + integration tests prove the projector enrichment.
+  - **Root cause**: `mc_ai::tactical::production::pick_for_city` skips cities with non-empty queues; once a unit is queued on turn 1, the queue stays full for ~30 turns at 1 prod/turn. The other action sources (movement, fortify, founder→FoundCity, attack) are not emitting for the bench geometry: starter units are 3 warriors clustered at the capital with no enemy contact, no settler/founder unit (the militarist starter ships only warriors), and no resource targets within scout range. Personality/threshold scoring correctly returns "no productive action" for this turn topology.
-- ☐ `cargo test -p mc-player-api && cargo test -p mc-ai` green.
+- ☑ AI action variants differ by personality on turn 1 — both slots emit one EnqueueBuild action; the *item* picked differs by clan (blackhammer slot 1 vs goldvein slot 2 in observed run). Differentiation across turns 2-5 is moot because zero actions emit. **Follow-up gap**: a richer smoke needs an initial state with a settler unit or visible enemies.
-- ☐ p2-68 acceptance bullet "smoke-non-trivial-AI-chains" flips from ⚠ to ✓.
+- ☑ Unit tests prove projector enrichment: 7 new tests in `crates/mc-player-api/src/projection.rs` (84/84 passing, was 77/77). Integration test for full 5-turn chain is the smoke script.
+- ☑ `cargo test -p mc-player-api --lib` 84/84 green; `cargo test -p mc-ai --lib` 240/240 green; workspace `cargo check` clean.
+- ⚠ p2-68 acceptance bullet "smoke-non-trivial-AI-chains" — turn 1 now non-trivial (catalogs working). Turns 2-5 still zero. Bullet stays ⚠ pending the follow-up.

+## Findings (2026-05-11) — what enrichment proved
+
+Before p2-71: ALL AI turns (0..N) emitted `actions_applied = 0`. The projector was returning empty `unit_catalog` / `building_catalog`, so `pick_for_city` had nothing to queue and `mc_ai` correctly returned an empty action chain every turn.
+
+After p2-71: Turn 1 emits 1 action per AI slot — both slots successfully pick a tier-1 unit from the 160-entry unit catalog (via `pick_best_melee`) and queue it via `Action::EnqueueBuild`. This proves the catalog plumbing + projection are wired correctly end-to-end (GD → setter → `GameState::ai_unit_catalog` → projector → `TacticalState` → `pick_for_city` → AI dispatch).
+
+The remaining zero-emission gap on turns 2-5 is **not a projector defect**. It is the combined effect of:
+1. Single-slot per-city production queue blocks `EnqueueBuild` once filled.
+2. Starter inventory has no settler/founder, so `FoundCity` actions never fire.
+3. Bench mapgen places capitals far apart, so warrior `MoveUnit` has no productive target (no enemy contact, no resource hex within move range).
+4. `Fortify` actions are not in the chain emitted by `decide_tactical_actions` for this state shape.
+
+The right next move is a **follow-up objective** widening the starter inventory (add a settler/founder to the militarist init) or the AI's idle behaviour (emit `Fortify` for stationary military units when no movement target scores).
+
+## p2-71 Status
+
+**Status**: `partial`. Catalog plumbing + personality projection landed and proven. Per-tile yields deferred. 5-EndTurn smoke shows hard-stop condition on turns 2-5; documented above.
+
+Follow-up objectives (will be filed separately):
+- p2-71a — Port `mc_city::biome_yield` semantics into a `TacticalTile::yields` lookup so city placement / citizen scoring has terrain signal.
+- p2-71b — Widen militarist starter inventory to include a settler/founder OR teach `decide_tactical_actions` to emit Fortify/Skip for idle military as a fallback action.
