+### 31. Longer Authored Persona Variants
+
+- Status: `ready`
+- Tags: `content`, `docs`, `protocol`
+- Why now:
+  - Pegasus often used longer, multi-clause authored alternatives for the same personality question
+  - we already have the short-path import working, so this is a low-risk way to add richer phrasing without inventing a new dialog engine
+  - it gives us a straightforward next pass that stays familiar to the original robot
+- Scope:
+  - import the longer authored variants already present in the legacy MIMs
+  - prefer richer phrasing for favorite-style, identity, and charm prompts when the source text provides it
+  - keep the runtime behavior rule-based and deterministic
+- Next step:
+  - add a small batch of longer variants to the current Build B content packs and prove them with a smoke test
+
+### 32. Dialog Joining And Composition
+
+- Status: `discovery`
+- Tags: `content`, `docs`, `protocol`
+- Why now:
+  - the videos and source files suggest Jibo sometimes felt like he was joining thoughts together, even when the source text was still authored
+  - we have not found evidence of a general runtime joiner yet, so this remains a post-release enhancement instead of a 1.0.19 dependency
+  - keeping it separate lets us preserve familiar Jibo phrasing now and experiment with composition later
+- Scope:
+  - design a post-release dialog composition layer that can stitch authored fragments together when appropriate
+  - keep the first version conservative and familiar, not LLM-driven
+  - make sure any future joining feature is opt-in and does not replace the current authored prompt path
+- Follow-up:
+  - revisit after 1.0.19 personality import and report-skill parity stabilize
+  - decide whether the composition layer should sit above the prompt catalog or beside it as a dedicated response post-processor
+  - keep this separate from the authored-variant backlog item so we do not blur prompt richness with runtime composition
