claude	132646f6c3	Rework the UI on Crusenho's pack; credit it in the game, not just the repo ... Crusenho's Complete UI Essential Pack is CC BY 4.0 -- redistributable and commercial-friendly, confirmed from the License.txt the pack itself ships -- so unlike the two bdragon packs a subset is committed: twelve PNGs, 48 KB, under assets/sprites/ui/. Only what is used, because each committed PNG costs a Godot .import sidecar and a directory nothing references is one nobody prunes. UiTheme builds a Theme in code from it -- button states, panels, line edits -- and every screen roots itself through UiTheme.themed_root(). The HUD's bars are the pack's frame with a tinted fill, drawn as three horizontal slices because Godot's nine-patch lives on nodes and the HUD is drawn rather than built from controls. Inventory slots use the pack's slot art at exactly twice the source size; a non-integer scale on a 1px border reads as a wobble along every edge. The credits screen is the other half of the request and it is a licence obligation, not a nicety: two packs are now CC BY, which asks for attribution "in any reasonable manner", and a markdown file in a source repo is not reasonable for someone who downloaded a build. Settings -> Credits shows every source with its terms and a link to the licence text. test_credits.gd asserts CREDITS.md and docs/ASSETS.md name every entry, so the three cannot drift. Two things found by actually looking at the screen, which is the point: - The FIRST version of this styled nothing. A Control inherits its theme from Control ANCESTORS only, and the chain breaks at the first plain Node or CanvasLayer -- which is every screen here. get_window().theme set the property, changed nothing, and read as correct. check.sh, 458 tests and a clean smoke run all passed with the entire interface unstyled. The theme test now instantiates every screen and asks what its buttons resolve. - The settings screen showed Fire bound to the right mouse button, because the test suite was writing the player's real user://settings.cfg -- rebinding calls save() and nothing had redirected the path. Settings.path is now redirectable, the fixture points it at a scratch file, and a test asserts the default is still the player's own. tools/screenshot.tscn is what found both. It boots the client windowed and saves the menus, the HUD, settings and credits. Manual, needs a display, and the only thing in the project that can tell you the interface rendered. check.sh clean, 460 tests, SMOKE PASS, all four diagnostics green.

claude	872922e9e2	Fix boss jitter; add a settings screen for controls and volume ... The jitter had two causes, and the larger one is embarrassing: boss_state() handed back the newest snapshot raw while players and enemies both went through the interpolator. The boss therefore stepped at the 20Hz snapshot rate instead of the frame rate. Invisible for as long as every boss stood still, and the first one that moved looked broken. It is interpolated now -- but not across an instance change, where the previous snapshot describes a different fight in a different room and lerping to it would fling the new boss across the map for a frame. The smaller cause was server-side: a CHASE boss corrects by the SIGN of its distance error, so at the standoff the sign flipped every tick and the boss vibrated a couple of pixels at 60Hz. It has a dead band now. The settings screen covers rebindable controls and volume, reachable from both the main menu and the in-game menu. Bindings are stored as physical keycodes -- following key position, the choice setup_input_map.gd already made -- and labelled back through the active layout so an AZERTY player reads the letter on the key their fingers are on. A rebind replaces every event on the action rather than the first, because an action that kept its alternates would still answer to the key you just moved away from. A key already in use is refused and the clash is named. Reset restores what the PROJECT shipped, captured once before anything overrides it -- captured later it would restore the last session's choice, which is the thing being undone. Effects play on an SFX bus created at runtime, so both sliders are real mixer settings rather than a number multiplied into every play() call. Worth recording: the test suite AND the smoke test both passed while a client logged twelve engine errors on every startup. ConfigFile.get_value(s, k, null) does not mean "no default" -- it means the key is absent and no default was given, and the engine logs an error per action. Nothing caught it because the smoke refutations matched SCRIPT ERROR and friends, and a plain ERROR: is none of those. It surfaced from running the client and reading the output. smoke.sh now asserts no plain engine errors either, excluding by name the one line Godot prints on every clean exit, and reintroducing the bug makes it fail. One mutation caught nothing and should not have: the early return in linear_to_db_clamped was dead code, since the clamp beneath it already prevents negative infinity. Removed rather than left looking tested. check.sh clean, 439 tests, SMOKE PASS (23 assertions), all four diagnostics green, and a real client boots with zero engine errors.

claude	7ef972e3b3	Hub character swapping, XP percentage, passive health regeneration ... Character swapping is hub-only, and refused by the SERVER rather than merely greyed out in the menu. Allowing it inside a dungeon would be an instant, uninterruptible exit from danger -- strictly better than the one-second escape channel, which would make that channel pointless. Creating a character in a dungeon is refused for the same reason. Both are covered by diag_progression. Health regenerates at 0.5% of MAXIMUM per second. A percentage rather than a flat rate so it does not become irrelevant at level 15: a capped character regains 1.2 hp/s against a level 1's 0.5, and both take about 200 seconds to heal from nothing. No out-of-combat gate -- at this rate it cannot out-heal anything actually shooting at you, and a trickle that never stops is easier to reason about than a timer players have to learn. A fractional carry is needed because a tick heals well under one hit point, so truncating each tick would heal exactly nothing; there is a test for that specifically. The XP bar now states the percentage and the level it leads to, since a bar answers "how far" vaguely and a number answers it exactly. Recorded the two Stage 3 answers: 4 inventory slots, and the boss's food item is player-instanced now so the mechanism gets exercised rather than deferred. Writing the swap guard's test caught my own mistake: the first version created its spare character through the store, which has no opinion about where you are, so it bypassed the guard it was meant to prove and left a stray character behind that broke a later assertion. 200 tests. check.sh, test.sh, smoke.sh and both diagnostics pass.	2026-09-04 00:56:29 +02:00
claude	e1f9fa8096	Unlock menu after failed join; remove contact damage; cover clean disconnects ... A failed connection left the connect buttons disabled forever. _show_menu() returned early when a menu already existed, so the set_busy(false) that re-enables them never ran on the way back from _abort_connect -- the player was locked out of both joining and hosting with no way out but a restart. Also guards against a second attempt stacking on an in-flight one. Contact damage is gone as a concept: nothing in this game hurts you by touching it, because every threat should be a bullet you can see and dodge. The Stalker walked at you and dealt contact damage and nothing else, so it now carries a point-blank shotgun instead -- five pellets, 62 degrees, 18-tick lifetime for about 78px of reach, so it still has to close and leaves nothing lingering. tests/unit/test_content.gd asserts every hostile enemy has an emitter, so a new enemy cannot quietly reintroduce the mechanic. The menu's "Disconnect" DOES get the anti-cheese protection -- verified, not assumed. It calls Net.shutdown(), the socket closes, and the server takes the same linkdead path as a SIGKILL, because the channel is keyed on the socket closing rather than on how it closed. Made permanent: a --leave-after bot flag and two smoke assertions covering the polite exit alongside the hard kill, so a future "clean leave" message that skipped the channel would fail a test. The menu now says so out loud in a dungeon -- the mechanic only reads as fair if the cost is known before clicking. 103 tests, 12 smoke assertions; check.sh, test.sh and smoke.sh all pass.	2026-09-03 19:37:26 +02:00
claude	005679f1b5	Fix bullet/ship desync; rework death, escape, arrival and hub awareness ... (1) Bullets appeared to trail the ship. Two independent causes, measured with the new tools/diag_prediction.gd rather than guessed at: - ServerRuntime ticked before ClientRuntime, so input sampled on frame N was not consumed until frame N+1, leaving the drawn ship a constant one tick (4.00px at 240 u/s) ahead of the authoritative one that bullets spawn from. ClientRuntime now sets process_physics_priority = -10. Gap on a listen server: 4.00px -> 0.10px mean, 0.30px worst. - PLAYER_MUZZLE_OFFSET was PLAYER_RADIUS + 6 = 12px against a 13px drawn ship, so bullets were born inside the sprite. Regression from the previous commit's hitbox shrink; it now derives from PLAYER_VISUAL_RADIUS. (2) No more timed respawn. A downed player stays down until they ask for the hub (E), which is an ordinary input -- the server has no "revive me" message. (3) Escape channel 3s -> 1s, and damage no longer cancels it. An interruptible channel makes killing the process strictly better than using the button, so a dropped connection now runs the same channel: the player stays in the world as linkdead, still killable, and is only released once it completes. Instances refuse to close while a linkdead body is resolving, or a solo drop would delete it on the next tick and hand the exploit straight back. (4) Escape opens an in-game menu: return to hub (routed through the same held- escape channel, not a new message), disconnect, quit. (5) Server pushes a roster so the hub shows who is online and which dungeon they are in. Entering a dungeon grants 2s arrival protection -- invulnerable AND weapons-cold, since invulnerability alone would make the spawn a free firing position -- flagged in the snapshot and drawn on every protected ship. (6) Cleared dungeons hold the party 30s (was 5s) with a visible countdown. (7) The hub's grey circle was a 100k-HP target dummy that read as scenery. Now drawn as a bullseye so its purpose is legible. Protocol version 1 -> 2. 91 tests (was 78); smoke.sh gains a bot that is SIGKILLed mid-dungeon to prove the disconnect path end to end. check.sh, test.sh and smoke.sh all pass.	2026-09-03 18:43:19 +02:00
