# 2026-07-11 — Plot action rows resolve authored templates

```
Type: log
```

## Intent

Repair the authored plot surface after the Bevy context menu exposed
`{target}` literally inside the Payroll Garnishment synopsis.

## Changed

- Plot start rows now resolve authored titles and synopses through the same
  target/persona renderer used by plot narration and world acts.
- Held-choice labels now pass through that renderer as well; Priya's authored
  "Let {target} take the credit" row names Priya Sharma at runtime.
- Plot title text in commitment, rejection, and invalid-choice logs also uses
  the resolved display form.
- Core action-query tests pin both start-row and held-choice interpolation.

## Defense

`wiki/mechanics/plots.md` requires templated fields to fill correctly in both
frontends and agent mode. Those surfaces all render the shared `ActionDesc`
query, so interpolation belongs before the descriptor leaves the core rather
than in three frontend-specific formatters.

## Checks

- `cargo test -p misaligned-core actions::tests::person_actions_stage_with_knowledge`
- `cargo test -p misaligned-core actions::tests::plot_choice_labels_interpolate_the_target_on_the_shared_action_surface`
- deterministic agent-mode action-surface run (`salvage`, `wait 1`, `people`,
  `review janitor`, `actions Marcus`, `help`, `quit`) completed with plain-text
  frame terminators and no raw template placeholders
- `./tools/check.sh --land`
