Track Dependencies

BlazeTracker’s tracking modules have dependencies. When a parent module is disabled, dependent modules are automatically disabled too.

Dependency Rules

Module	Requires	Why
Time	—	No dependencies
Location	—	No dependencies
Climate	Location + Time	Needs coordinates (from location) and datetime (from time) to generate forecasts and look up weather
Props	Location	Props are nearby objects at the current location
Characters	—	No dependencies
Relationships	Characters	Can’t track relationships without knowing who’s present
Scene	—	No dependencies
Narrative	Relationships + Scene	Events reference relationship subjects and tension levels

Impact of Disabling Modules

Disabling Time

No location shown in compact/detailed blocks
Weather forecast is unavailable
Chapter boundaries from location changes are not detected

Disabling Climate

No weather shown in compact block
Weather forecast modal is empty

Minimal Configurations

Just time and location

Enable: time, location LLM calls per message: ~2

Time, location, and characters (no relationships)

Enable: time, location, characters LLM calls per message: ~3 + 3N

Everything except narrative

Enable: time, location, climate, props, characters, relationships, scene LLM calls per message: ~8 + 3N + P (no narrative/chapter calls)

Full tracking

Enable: all modules LLM calls per message: ~10 + 3N + P
