 ## Technical approach
 
-1. **Linear + branch:** Issue **NEO-22** exists in Backlog; on kickoff set **In Progress** and branch `neo-22-retire-click-to-move-implement-wasd-locomotion-godot-client` (or team naming).
+1. **Linear + branch:** **2026-04-17 kickoff** — Linear **In Progress**; story branch **`NEO-22-retire-click-to-move-wasd-locomotion`** (issue id first per [linear-git-naming](../../.cursor/rules/linear-git-naming.md)).
 2. **Authority model (blocking):** Decide with product/server owner:
    - **A)** Client integrates WASD locally only for prototype; server receives **rate-limited** position or move deltas (may need new endpoint — likely **out of this slice** unless already planned), or  
    - **B)** Keep **discrete `MoveCommand`** but drive target from **keyboard-sampled “stick to last intent”** (awkward), or

 | **Camera vs world steering** | **TBD in kickoff** — default recommendation: **camera-relative XZ** | Matches isometric follow rig; document if world-axis is chosen instead. |
 | **NavAgent** | Default **off** for routine WASD in this slice | Removes nav-ribbon + column latch class of bugs; re-add only with explicit hybrid design. |
