 **Scope:** Branch `NEO-87-e5m2-npc-behavior-catalog-schemas-ci` · commits `846da90`–`6fd9694` vs `origin/main`  
 **Base:** `origin/main`  
+**Follow-up:** Restored missing `prototype_elite_mini_boss` row; `validate_content.py` passes with 3 npc behavior ids.

 ## Summary
 
-NEO-87 lands E5M2-01 content-only work: `npc-behavior-def.schema.json`, NPC behavior validation in `scripts/validate_content.py` (mirroring NEO-76 ability pattern), and thorough doc updates (E5.M2 freeze table, `content/README.md`, CT.M1, alignment register, backlog checkboxes). Schema shape, CI gate constants, and Python validation helpers align with the kickoff plan. **However, `content/npc-behaviors/prototype_npc_behaviors.json` ships only two of three frozen rows** — `prototype_elite_mini_boss` is missing — so `validate_content.py` exits non-zero and PR gate would fail. Docs and the implementation plan mark E5M2-01 as landed with all acceptance criteria checked; that is premature until the catalog is complete.

Schema shape, CI gate constants, and Python validation helpers align with the kickoff plan. **Follow-up:** the initial commit shipped a two-row catalog (elite row dropped before commit); restored per freeze table — CI now passes with all three ids.
 
 ## Documentation checked
 
 | Document | Result |
 |----------|--------|
-| [`docs/plans/NEO-87-implementation-plan.md`](../plans/NEO-87-implementation-plan.md) | **Conflicts** — reconciliation and AC claim three-row catalog shipped; file on disk has two rows. Kickoff table, schema spec, and CI approach otherwise **match**. |

-| [`docs/decomposition/modules/E5_M2_NpcAiAndBehaviorProfiles.md`](../decomposition/modules/E5_M2_NpcAiAndBehaviorProfiles.md) | **Partially matches** — freeze table documents all three rows (including elite stats); catalog file does not. CI rules line and status update **match** intent. |

 ## Suggestions
 
-1. **Defer “landed” doc claims until CI is green** — After fixing the catalog, re-run validation and confirm plan reconciliation, E5M2-01 backlog “Landed” note, alignment register, and module register accurately reflect a passing gate (same pattern as [NEO-76 review follow-up](../reviews/2026-05-24-NEO-76.md)).

 2. **Optional: one-row-per-`archetypeKind` gate** — The three-id frozenset already implies one row per archetype for E5M2-01. If the roster grows in a follow-up issue, consider an explicit archetype coverage check; not required for this slice.
 
 ## Nits
 
-- Nit: Commit subject “ship prototype … catalog” reads complete while the catalog file is incomplete — minor messaging; resolved when elite row lands.
+- ~~Nit: Commit subject “ship prototype … catalog” reads complete while the catalog file is incomplete — minor messaging; resolved when elite row lands.~~ **Done.** Elite row restored in follow-up commit.
