 ### Phase 5: Conditional Branch Extraction
 
-- split branch-heavy cells into `critical_branch`

-- support branch conditions such as `with helmet` and `w/o leg greaves`

+- branch-heavy cells are split into base result content plus ordered `critical_branch` rows
+- branch parsing is shared across `standard`, `variant_column`, and `grouped_variant` table families

+- branch payloads can contain prose, affix notation, or both
+- the importer now upgrades older SQLite files to add the `CriticalBranches` table before load
+- the web critical lookup now returns and renders conditional branches alongside the base result

 ## Ingestion notes
 
-Recommended import flow:
+Current import flow:
 
 1. Create `critical_table`, `critical_group`, `critical_column`, and `critical_roll_band` from each PDF's visible axes.
-2. Store each cell in `critical_result.raw_cell_text` exactly as extracted.
+2. Store each base cell in `critical_result` with base raw/description/affix text.
-3. Parse the symbol line into `critical_effect`.
+3. Split explicit conditional branches into `critical_branch`.
-4. Split explicit conditional branches into `critical_branch`.
+4. Return the base result plus ordered branches through the web critical lookup.
-5. Gradually enrich prose-derived effects such as death, blindness, paralysis, limb loss, initiative changes, and item breakage.
+5. Parse symbolic affixes into `critical_effect` in the next phase.
-6. Route image PDFs like `Void.pdf` through OCR before the same parser.
+6. Gradually enrich prose-derived effects such as death, blindness, paralysis, limb loss, initiative changes, and item breakage.
+7. Route image PDFs like `Void.pdf` through OCR before the same parser.
 
 The important design decision is: never throw away the original text. The prose is too irregular to rely on normalized fields alone.
