 ## Phase 10H — Boards That Feel Fresh (CR-008)
 
 Spec: `memory-bank/change-requests/CR-008-fresh-boards.md`. New decisions recorded as plan §0.5.60–0.5.62.
+- [x] **Step 10H.1 — Content: pay variance and new goods.** Config `contractPayVariance` 0.15. Five Standard goods (decision 0.5.61): Water Recyclers, Spare Parts (Priority-eligible) and Lunar Base Supplies Earth → Moon; Crew Personal Effects and Recycled Alloys Moon → Earth (locations' goods lists update from the catalog). Earth → Moon now has 6 Standard goods, Moon → Earth 4. All existing tests still pass (tutorial masses unchanged: goods on both routes still hold 5/12/20 t). Test: `goods.test.ts` (route variety, variance is a fraction).
