SCENARIO_BACKLOG.md

OpenRA-Bench — Scenario Backlog (toward 200 packs)

This file is the canonical brainstorm catalog for the path from 29 packs today (22 active + 17 designed in the plan + 2 harvest rebuilds) → ~200 packs total. It complements SCENARIO_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md (methodology) and SCENARIO_QUALITY.md (whole-suite recap) by giving the next-buildable seed any coding agent can pull off.

How to use this file

1. Pick a seed whose engineering tag matches what's available today (YAML = build now; BOT:x / PRED:x / ENG:x = blocked on that engine PR landing).
2. Author the pack to the no defect, no cheat bar (see SCENARIO_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md and CLAUDE.md).
3. Populate the new schema field meta.benchmark_anchor: list[str] with the seed's anchor (real-world capability and/or named benchmark).
4. Scripted-policy validate (stall / brute / wrong-path / intended) across seeds 1–4 — every lazy policy must LOSS, intended must WIN, never a DRAW.
5. Move the seed from this file to a section of SCENARIO_QUALITY.md (the whole-suite catalog) once committed.

Engineering tags

• YAML — buildable today, pure YAML.
• MAP:x — needs a new map generator or static .oramap.
• BOT:x — needs new scripted-bot variant in openra-sim/src/scripted_bot.rs. Currently supported: hunt, rusher, patrol, turtle, guard. Proposed: raider, pincer, feinter, prober, tower-rusher, boomer, tech-switcher.
• PRED:x — needs new predicate in openra_bench/scenarios/win_conditions.py (+ _PHRASES entry in game_knowledge.py).
• ENG:x — needs deeper engine work (new order, signal, mid-episode hook). Examples: deploy, capture_actor, apc-transport-complete, air-units, power-signals (today inert), scheduled-event, dynamic-deadline, RL-adversary (P3-1).

Engineering shopping list (PRs that unblock the most seeds)

Order from cheapest to most expensive; numbers in parentheses are how many seeds each PR unblocks.

1. forbidden_tools + tool_violation signal (P2-1) — unblocks ~6 seeds (Group I + B3).
2. raider bot — unblocks ~4 (B1 + Group F defenses + C2).
3. then:[A,B] happened-before composite (P2-3) — unblocks ~5 (B2 + Group G/I/N).
4. own_building_lost_gte + building_destroyed_gte (P2-2) — unblocks ~3 (C3 + C2 + C5).
5. region_held_for_ticks — strengthens B4 + several defense seeds.
6. pincer / feinter bots — unblocks C3, C4, several adv-*.
7. Mid-episode scripted-event hook — unblocks C5 + 4 robustness seeds + surprise-flank.
8. Power-signals fix — unblocks 7+ seeds in Groups A/M.
9. MCV deploy order — unblocks ALL Group A mcv-* (7+ seeds).
10. capture_actor order — unblocks Group K spec-engineer-*.
11. Engineer-rebuild order — unblocks several robustness seeds.
12. apc transport completeness — unblocks Group L.
13. Water mapgen + lst — unblocks Group L amphibious + island.
14. Air units (yak/mig/heli) — unblocks anti-air, paradrop, air-ground coord.
15. Stealth/spy/thief mechanics — unblocks spec-spy / spec-thief.
16. Superweapons (nuke / iron-curtain / chronosphere) — Group K.
17. Live RL adversary slot (P3-1) — unblocks C1, C4, all adv-*-race seeds.
