A dungeon now names the boss arena it ends in, and the arena decides the boss.
Three entrances in the hub: Warden's Descent, The Choir Vault, Proving Grounds.
That replaces the seed coin-flip from the last commit, which was the wrong
call. Which boss you are about to fight is the single thing a player decides
before walking into a dungeon, and rolling it for them makes that decision
unavailable. Only the Proving Grounds still leaves its arena open, because a
harness you re-enter every couple of minutes wants whichever fight comes up
first -- and it is the one place where "either will do" is true.
test_every_boss_has_a_dungeon_that_reaches_it is the check that matters here:
adding a boss and forgetting to give it a way in is now a failing test rather
than a boss nobody meets. The smoke test asserts all three portals open over a
real socket -- bots pick theirs by account id, so a run exercises each.
Bullets no longer animate. The sheet's eight frames are a COLOUR cycle rather
than a shape change, so running it had every bullet on screen strobing through
a palette in unison, which with a few hundred in the air is exactly as hard to
look at as it sounds. Each bullet holds one frame and turns slowly instead,
offset by its own id so a ring of twenty does not rotate as one rigid wheel.
The rate is slow enough that nothing completes a full turn inside its own
lifetime, so it reads as drift rather than spin, and a test pins that against
the longest-lived bullet in the game. The renderer slices four textures at
startup now instead of thirty-two.
check.sh clean, 414 tests, SMOKE PASS (22 assertions), all four diagnostics
green.

Two labelled portals now stand side by side in the hub. The Proving Grounds
runs the same generator, the same rooms, the same enemies and the same
four-phase Warden -- enemies at a fifth health, the boss at 288 instead of
3600, and trash dropping potions 80% of the time instead of 8%. A manual pass
over loot, the inventory, dropping and every boss phase takes a couple of
minutes rather than a quarter of an hour.
It is multipliers over the shared content rather than a parallel copy: a
duplicated Content would drift the first time anything was tuned, and
"identical but easier" would quietly stop being true. And it is a portal
rather than a launch flag, so the two can be compared back to back without
restarting the server -- which is most of the point.
Which dungeon you enter is resolved from the player's server-side position,
and PORTAL_USED carries the answer. There is deliberately no client message
that names a dungeon: one would let any client ask for the generous loot table
and bring the results back to the hub. Instance matching compares dungeon ids
too, so walking into one entrance can never drop you into the other's run on
timing alone.
SimWorld.portals replaces portal_pos/portal_enabled, enter_instance carries
the portal list and the dungeon id (the client needs the latter to scale the
boss bar's ceiling the way the server scaled the boss), and Protocol.VERSION
goes to 7.
Also pins what happens when two players reach for one item on the same tick:
exactly one gets it -- the loop is sequential and the pickup erases the entity
before the next player looks. The tie-break is join order rather than distance,
which is arbitrary rather than designed, so it is recorded as such.
Stale doc fixed while here: MapGen.build() still claimed the client rebuilds
the map from the seed, which has not been true since map streaming landed and
is the opposite of the rule.
check.sh clean, 288 tests, SMOKE PASS (18 assertions, both dungeon kinds
opened over a real socket), all three diagnostics green.
