Generated playtest checklist

Start/reach the quest naturally and verify journal index 0 is obtainable.
Reach index 0: The Endar Spire
Reach index 1: The Sith are attacking the Endar Spire I have gathered my things, I should head towards an escape pod.
Reach index 2 (Finished): I’ve got the keycard, it’s time to escape!
Reach index 3 (Finished): I have reached an escape pod and escaped the Endar Spire. It looks like I’m heading towards the planet Taris.
Branch coverage: this journal has 2 different Finished entries; test each reachable completion branch.
Verify any scripted reward/item transfer shown above actually occurs.
Verify involved NPCs/objects remain present and usable after the stage transition.
Verify no unrelated vanilla Morrowind dialogue/quest state appears during the flow.

QA console reference

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_CharGen. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
