claude b8332b697d Documentation pass for a cold start
ci / verify (push) Successful in 49s
Audited the whole set rather than appending to it, and the two files a fresh
session reads first were both wrong.

README claimed the emergency escape takes three seconds and is CANCELLED BY
DAMAGE. It takes one, and damage explicitly does not interrupt it -- that is a
settled decision with its own entry in DECISIONS.md, and the front page said
the opposite. It also described one stationary boss, one hub portal, and none
of characters, permadeath, levels, inventory, loot, upgrades, settings or
credits. Rewritten, with the "not ready for the internet" warning made explicit.

ROADMAP had no "what is next" at all: every stage reads *done*, which for a
cold start is a dead end. It opens with where things stand and a table of
candidates -- auth, a reason to play past level 15, an economy, hit feedback,
replacing the non-redistributable packs, DTLS -- each with what blocks it, and
says plainly that the user has chosen none of them. Open questions renumbered
from the orphaned 8-11 they were left at, with the solved one dropped and three
real ones added.

ARCHITECTURE's file map listed two files twice, missed five subsystems
(upgrades, stats, poison, settings, credits, the UI theme), and still said
MapGen.build() is "the entry point both sides use" -- it is server-only, and
the whole anti-map-hack story depends on that. Rebuilt by layer and audited
against the tree: every path listed exists, and every one of the 64 source
files is covered.

CLAUDE.md's security paragraph said a client can send "exactly two things"
plus two roster requests. There are five client -> server messages. That number
is the security model, so it is now a table naming each one and what it
carries. Also records that nothing automated can see the screen.

Smaller: a stale 156/156 test count in ASSETS.md, and test counts refreshed to
468 where they are quoted.

check.sh clean, 468 tests, SMOKE PASS, all four diagnostics green, no broken
internal links.

claude 61680d00d7 Style the rest of the interface: panels, sliders, scrollbars, cards
ci / verify (push) Successful in 48s
Buttons were the easy half. This is everything else.

Dialogs sit on panels now rather than being text over a dimmed world -- the
pause menu, character select, upgrades, settings and credits all root through
UiTheme.dialog_panel(). The panel stylebox is the pack's frame MODULATED DARK.
The set is cream throughout, which is right for buttons and wrong for a dialog
over a dark dungeon; tinting keeps the pixel border and the corner shape and
lets every label the game already draws in light colours stay readable, instead
of recolouring every label in five screens to suit the art.

Sliders and scrollbars are the pack's too, section headings sit on its banner
ribbon, and an upgrade card's rarity is now its frame rather than a word on it
-- three choices are compared at a glance and a colour reads faster than a
label.

Two bugs of the same shape, and neither was findable without looking at the
screen. A Slider and a ScrollBar take their THICKNESS from the stylebox's
minimum size, which for a StyleBoxTexture is its content margins. Mine were
zero, so both resolved the correct stylebox, reported the correct texture, and
drew a groove zero pixels tall. A probe confirmed the theme was resolving
perfectly while the track was invisible. Tests now assert every slider and
scrollbar stylebox has a non-zero minimum, and it is gotcha 7 in CLAUDE.md.

The first attempt at the slider groove also used the pack's HOLLOW bar sprite,
whose middle is transparent -- tinting it dark left an outline and nothing
else. It uses the solid one.

tools/screenshot.tscn gained the upgrade screen, which it has to stage: the
game scene owns that screen's visibility and re-asserts it every frame, so
setting `visible` lasted exactly one frame, and standing the player at the NPC
client-side lasted until reconciliation pulled them back. It now moves the
player on both sides and holds it until the shot. That tool has caught four
bugs the automated gates all passed.

claude 132646f6c3 Rework the UI on Crusenho's pack; credit it in the game, not just the repo
ci / verify (push) Successful in 48s
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
ci / verify (push) Successful in 48s
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 4a98cf4b0e The Cantor gets its own portal; bullets stop strobing
ci / verify (push) Successful in 48s
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.

claude 42568a40ad Fix: every zone change was handing the player a blank character
ci / verify (push) Successful in 48s
SimWorld knows nothing about characters, so Instance.add_peer builds a fresh
SimPlayer -- level 1, base stats, empty inventory. Something has to give that
player back its character, and only character SELECT ever did. Every portal
into a dungeon and every escape back to the hub therefore reset the player's
level, experience, upgrades and bag. The record on disk stayed correct
throughout, which is what made it read as a display glitch: the level shown was
1 because the level being played really was 1, and the first kill's experience
grant partially repaired it, so the numbers appeared to come and go.

_place now adopts, through a single _adopt_character that every transfer runs.
That let _enter_world_as drop its adopt/reset/adopt dance -- three lines that
existed only because reset_for_instance clobbered the health adopt had just
computed -- and let the level-up path derive maximum health through
recompute_max_hp instead of keeping a second copy of the formula.

diag_upgrades now walks hub -> dungeon -> hub after taking an upgrade and
asserts level, experience, upgrades, damage, maximum health and inventory all
survive each leg. With the fix reverted it reports exactly what was described:
level 1, no upgrades, base damage, empty bag. One of the new checks compared
health against a formula fed the player's own level, which agrees with itself
even when the level is wrong; it compares against the character record instead.

Also drops "(every upgrade)" from the choice cards. That a flat bonus rides
along with all of them is a design principle, not something a player needs
told -- the number is enough.

claude e0c1e0d5c6 Stage 5: bosses that move, attacks that warn, and a second boss
ci / verify (push) Successful in 49s
Boss movement is a property of the PHASE, not of the boss -- a fight that
stands still and then starts hunting you is one boss with two phases. Four
modes (STATIC, ORBIT, CHASE, WAYPOINTS) handled generically in
SimWorld._move_boss, so a boss that moves is still data. BossDef.stationary
is gone rather than kept beside the phases: a flag claiming the boss stood
still while a phase walked around would be a second source of truth and the
wrong one, so moves() is derived.

CHASE holds a distance instead of closing, because a boss standing on top of
you is a boss whose bullets cannot be read. Waypoints are fractions of the
arena so one phase works in rooms of different sizes. Every mode is speed
clamped in one place -- ORBIT computes an absolute destination and would
otherwise snap onto its circle on the first tick -- and movement slides
against geometry so a boss cannot walk through the pillars its own arena was
designed around.

The room clamp moved to after movement, where it is finally load-bearing. It
was a no-op while every boss stood still, which is exactly when an invariant
is cheapest to establish: boss rooms deliberately do not lock, so walking out
is always an escape, and that only holds if the boss cannot follow.

TelegraphedStrikeEmitter marks spots and fills them a moment later. The moment
between is the feature: a burst at your feet is a coin flip, the same burst
with a second of notice is a question. It stays stateless like every other
emitter -- they are shared resources and two bosses of the same kind must not
stomp each other -- so strike positions are derived from the volley number and
a test asserts the burst lands where the marker promised. Markers are drawn
through fog and through walls, unlike everything else in the view, because a
warning you cannot see is an unavoidable hit with extra steps.

The Cantor of the Vault fights in the choir vault: static, then a four-corner
circuit, then a chase, then orbiting while marking. It exists to prove the
format stretched, and a test asserts it uses both new mechanisms.

Which boss a run has now comes from its SEED rather than its depth. Depth is a
dev flag nothing in play raises, so the arena was keyed to something no player
can change and the second boss was unreachable in an actual game.

Two things found while finishing:

  - tools/export_content.gd had a hand-maintained boss list and had already
    gone stale, silently not writing the Cantor. Content.ALL_ENEMIES and
    ALL_BOSSES now feed the export tool, the renderer and five tests that each
    kept their own copy.
  - diag_loot failed intermittently after another diagnostic. Taking over from
    the bot cleared its input queue but not its HELD input, so a starved server
    coasted on the bot's last movement vector for half a second and walked the
    player off the item it had been placed on. The press arrived correctly,
    which is why "the press reached the simulation" passed while everything it
    should have caused failed.

claude cb2c1e7840 Scale health and damage by ten so percentages have somewhere to land
A shot is 60, a fresh character has 1000, the Warden has 36000. Enemy health,
boss health and every emitter's damage were scaled with them, so every ratio
is unchanged and time to kill is exactly what it was -- tests/unit/test_content
now pins shots-to-kill per enemy and hits-to-kill a player so a careless edit
to either side shows up as a number a designer recognises.

The reason is rounding rather than balance. Damage is an integer, and at a base
of 6 the +5% every upgrade carries computed to 6.3 and rounded straight back to
6: a player took their first upgrade, was told it made them stronger, and
nothing happened. diag_upgrades used to print "damage matches the formula
(6 -> 6)"; it now prints (60 -> 63). The boss's per-phase armour multiplier had
the same problem, turning 1.15 into an effective 1.17.

The practice dummy stopped relying on a huge health pool at the same time. Its
old 100000 was already past the u16 the snapshot sends enemy health in, and
once a shot did 60 a patient player could have destroyed the hub's only
practice target for everyone until the next restart. EnemyDef.indestructible
says what was actually meant, and a test asserts nothing else uses it.

claude b351bc2d55 Stage 4: upgrades, and a quartermaster to spend them at
ci / verify (push) Successful in 48s
Every level banks one choice. Choices queue, and are spent at an NPC in the
hub: walk to it, press E, take one of three weighted options. Seven upgrades,
all data — split shot, glass cannon, spread, sniper, doubleshot, poison,
eraser — and SimWorld gained no per-upgrade branch to run any of them.

The four ambiguities in the brief were settled with the user first, since
each changes what gets written:

  damage      base x (1 + sum additive) x product multiplicative. The flat
              +5% every upgrade carries, spread's -10%, doubleshot's -50%
              and glass cannon's +100% pool; sniper multiplies on top, so
              two snipers is 4x and not +200%.
  glass       half the LEVELLED maximum, multiplying if taken twice, so the
              price does not fade to a rounding error by level 15.
  poison      independent stacks, not a refresh.
  split       +/-45 degrees from the original heading.

Independent poison stacks sound expensive and are not: every dose lasts the
same number of ticks, so doses expire in the order they were added, the
pending expiries are a plain FIFO, and PoisonTrack only ever looks at its
front. O(1) per actor per tick however many are live.

Stats are derived from the upgrade list and never stored, the way level is
derived from experience -- a saved stat cannot disagree with the upgrades
that produced it. Upgrade riders (split charges, poison, erase chance) travel
on the bullet instead, because a shot in flight has to keep what it was fired
with rather than gaining Poison because the shooter just took it.

Two invariants this collided with, both now pinned:

  - bullet speed gained a ceiling. Wall collision samples once per tick, so
    anything over a tile per tick tunnels; two snipers asked for 2480 u/s
    against a 1920 threshold, and a tunnelling bullet looks like a bullet.
  - BULLET_INTEREST_RADIUS rose to 2900, because an upgraded player shot is
    now the longest-travelling bullet in the game. test_interest measured
    the worst case from static content, which upgrades quietly invalidated.

Choosing is intent checked three ways: a choice must be owed, the index must
name one of the three options the SERVER put on the table, and the player
must be standing at the NPC. The offer is rolled once and persisted, so
closing the screen is not a reroll and neither is a crash.

tools/diag_upgrades.tscn covers level -> banked choice -> refused in a
dungeon and refused across the room -> taken at the NPC -> new stats ->
on disk. Bots never walk to the quartermaster, so the smoke test cannot.

Known gap recorded in the roadmap: at PLAYER_BULLET_DAMAGE = 6, the +5% the
first upgrade carries rounds back to 6 and visibly does nothing. It comes out
right in aggregate, but the fix is a balance edit across content.gd and so is
the user's call.

claude a943aa19f6 Add a second dungeon: the Proving Grounds, a test harness you walk into
ci / verify (push) Successful in 47s
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.

opened over a real socket), all three diagnostics green.

claude 050b8251a7 Stage 3: inventory, ground loot, and two loot visibilities
ci / verify (push) Successful in 48s
Four always-on-screen slots, items as data, and loot tables on enemies and
bosses. Health potions drop rarely from trash and always from the Warden;
the Warden also drops a Warden's Ration, one per living player, which does
nothing at all.

The ration is not filler. Player-instanced loot is a separate code path from
shared loot -- a distinct entity per owner, filtered per peer in the snapshot
encoder -- and the cheapest way to keep that path honest is to have something
in the game that exercises it on every boss kill.

Item actions ride the input frame rather than becoming new client messages.
InputFrame gained BTN_USE, BTN_DROP and a slot byte, which buys the packet-loss
redundancy, the replay guard on last_input_tick, ordering against movement on
the same tick, and a rate limit of one action per tick -- all of which a
separate RPC would have needed bolted back on. The cost is that anything in
the frame which must not repeat has to be edge-triggered, since frames are
resent and a starved server coasts on the last one it holds.

Instanced loot is enforced in NetCodec.encode_snapshot, beside the actor
interest radius: a peer is never told another player's copy exists. Hiding it
client-side would have been the same mistake as relying on fog to hide enemies.

Inventories live on the character and are written to the store on every
transaction, so a crash between "picked it up" and "wrote it down" cannot lose
or duplicate an item. Anything dropped becomes world-shared whatever it was
before, and a potion used at full health is refused rather than spent.

tools/diag_loot.tscn covers drop -> snapshot -> pick up -> persist -> use ->
drop plus both visibilities on the wire, for the same reason diag_progression
exists: bots are poor shots and almost never produce a drop. It asserts each
input frame was actually consumed, after an early version silently dropped its
first press and every later check passed for the wrong reason.

claude ded7bf96d5 Documentation pass before context compaction
ci / verify (push) Successful in 47s
The roadmap was actively misleading: an earlier stage renumbering left Stage 2's
completed work sitting under a "Stage 3 -- todo" heading, and the inventory
table orphaned with no heading at all. Since that file is the primary handoff
document, a fresh session would have started by re-implementing accounts and
characters. Rewritten.

Captured in full, from the original brief rather than from memory, the two
stages not yet built:

- Stage 3 (inventory and loot): 4 slots, potions rare from trash and guaranteed
  from bosses, world-shared loot, and the player-instanced food item -- with a
  note that two loot visibilities must exist from the start, because proving the
  instanced path works is the food item's entire purpose.
- Stage 4 (upgrades): every upgrade with its exact stated effect, plus the two
  constraints it will collide with -- sniper's 2x bullet speed against the
  tunnelling threshold, and per-player bullet travel against the interest radius
  that test_interest.gd currently derives from static content.

Ten open questions are listed as explicitly do-not-guess, seven of them blocking
Stage 4.

ARCHITECTURE.md still claimed "the arena is a rectangle" and "no tilemap
collision", both untrue since Stage 1. Rewritten around MapGrid, with what the
grid costs (axis-aligned, 32px-quantised, bullets under a tile per tick) rather
than only what it buys.

Added a "verification traps" section to WORKFLOW.md recording six mistakes made
during this work, each of which cost a round trip of reporting something fixed
that was not: verifying the artefact rather than the behaviour, dumping the
wrong channel, measuring a configuration where the bug cannot exist, a test
whose setup silently invalidated it, git checkout reverting real work alongside
a probe, and a pattern edit matching in two files. They are specific enough to
be actionable.

Also documented the diagnostics in CLAUDE.md -- they were undiscoverable -- and
recorded the current verification surface so "everything passes" has a stated
meaning.

206 tests, 15 smoke assertions, both diagnostics pass.

claude d8197885ca Hide dead characters, suggest names, make the XP bar live
ci / verify (push) Successful in 46s
The roster sent to clients now contains living characters only. Retirement stays
server-side bookkeeping for archival; from the player's side a dead character is
simply gone, and listing it offers a choice that cannot be taken.

The XP bar only moved on a level-up or a character swap because it read the
character roster, which is re-sent only when the SET of characters changes.
Experience now rides the snapshot -- four bytes on a message already going out
at 20Hz -- and the server mirrors each grant into the world immediately rather
than only when a level is crossed.

The create field starts with a suggested name instead of blank, and offers
another after each creation.

Two bugs found while testing, both mine:

The first was a bad patch of my own: a change meant for the snapshot decoder
also matched inside decode_characters, which then read a four-byte field its
encoder never wrote and ran off the end of every packet. This is precisely the
"encodes but decodes wrong" failure the codec tests exist to catch, and it was
caught within a minute of the test being written.

Chasing that exposed a real robustness gap: StreamPeerBuffer.get_utf8_string()
pushes an engine error and returns garbage when the buffer is short, so a
truncated or hostile character/roster packet produced error spam instead of
degrading. Both decoders now bounds-check every field, with tests that slice
each packet at many lengths and assert it degrades rather than inventing
entries -- the same guarantee the input decoder already had.

206 tests. check.sh, test.sh, smoke.sh and both diagnostics pass.

claude 7ef972e3b3 Hub character swapping, XP percentage, passive health regeneration
ci / verify (push) Successful in 47s
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.

claude 4765bbce28 Stage 2: accounts, characters, permadeath, levels and experience
ci / verify (push) Successful in 47s
Identity is shaped like Steamworks so swapping to it is one subclass and no
schema change: the client presents an opaque ticket, the server validates it
into a stable 64-bit account id, and nothing downstream sees anything else.
LocalAuthProvider takes any ticket at face value -- insecure on purpose, and
labelled as such everywhere, because the point is the shape rather than the
security. Do not ship it.

Characters persist as JSON keyed by account. Account ids are written as decimal
strings because they are 64-bit and JSON numbers are doubles, which would
silently round them. A corrupt store aborts the server rather than starting
empty: starting empty looks like it worked and then saves over every character
on the first level-up.

Levels 1-15, +10 max health each, level DERIVED from lifetime experience rather
than stored beside it, so a hand-edited save cannot produce a level 12 character
with a level 3's experience. Experience is shared undivided across everyone
alive in the instance -- splitting it would make bringing a friend cost you
progress. A level-up heals by what it added, so gaining one mid-fight is relief
rather than a bar that moved further from full.

Death is permanent and unbinds the character entirely: no "return to the hub as
the character who just died", because the run is over. The record is retired,
never deleted. The five-character cap counts LIVING characters only -- counting
the dead would lock a player out of their own account after five deaths.

Verified by tools/diag_progression.tscn, which drives the real server through
kill -> xp -> level -> health and death -> retire -> roster. The bot smoke test
cannot cover that: bots are poor shots and rarely kill anything. Writing it
caught two real ordering bugs -- the death event was dispatched before the
payload that tells the player they died, and the dead character stayed bound to
the peer.

Also added --account and --store so several clients and test runs can coexist
on one machine. The smoke test now uses a scratch store; without it a rerun
resumed the previous run's characters and "a character was created" quietly
stopped being true.

193 tests. check.sh, test.sh, smoke.sh, diag_progression and diag_prediction
all pass.

claude ff5e527ad4 Fix black wall tops, pillar art, player anchor, and whole-sheet bullets
ci / verify (push) Successful in 46s
Bullets rendered as the entire sprite sheet, which was the clue that named the
cause: a MultiMeshInstance2D cannot show a sub-region of a texture. Its mesh UVs
run 0..1 across whatever texture it is handed, and an AtlasTexture does not
help -- the draw resolves to the underlying atlas and the region is discarded.
Frames are now pre-sliced into 32 standalone 16x16 textures at startup, so each
frame is one texture assignment per kind and no region is involved. My previous
two attempts fixed the atlas contents while the renderer was structurally
incapable of showing one cell of it.

Black voids above walls: wall_top_mid has 12 of its 16 rows transparent. It is a
cap meant to be laid over a wall, not a tile, and drawn alone it was three
quarters nothing. Floor is now drawn beneath every tile so transparency shows
ground rather than clear colour, the wall face is drawn from the opaque
wall_mid, and the cap is overlaid only where open floor lies above.

Pillars used a wall segment and read as stray blocks; they now use the column
tile, which looks like something you walk around.

The player hitbox appeared at the head because it was: the knight occupies rows
8..27 of a 28-row cell, so anchoring on the cell centre put the draw origin
about 4px above the body's centre. Added a per-sprite anchor offset that cancels
it, with a test that recomputes the offset from the art so a re-cut sheet fails
rather than silently misplacing the character.

Tests pin the two tileset facts that caused this: the cap is mostly transparent
(so it may never be drawn alone) and the wall face is fully opaque (so it may).

166 tests. check.sh, test.sh and smoke.sh pass.

claude 801f328093 Fix idle/run animation flicker and bullet cell bleed; add F1 hitbox overlay
ci / verify (push) Successful in 46s
The ship looked like it played both animations at once because it effectively
did. is_moving() read the tail of `pending`, which _reconcile drains on every
snapshot -- so it returned false about 20 times a second and the sprite
alternated between the run and idle strips. Now reads the last sampled input,
which survives the queue being emptied.

Bullets were still wrong for a reason my earlier ASCII check could not see: I
had dumped alpha only, and this pack animates as a colour shimmer over a fixed
silhouette, so identical-looking frames told me nothing. The actual defect was
that several sprites overflow their 16px cell and bleed into the neighbour
below -- the first "heavy" I picked dragged in a solid slice of the sprite
above it. Cells are re-picked to ones with empty borders in every frame, and
build_local_assets.py now asserts that rather than trusting the choice, so a
future pick that bleeds fails at build time instead of looking like a
rendering bug.

Added a hitbox overlay on F1 (src/view/debug_draw.gd). It draws what the
simulation actually collides against over what is drawn: player hitbox against
sprite radius, the muzzle point, enemy and boss radii, aggro rings, every live
bullet's radius, and terrain outlined by which of the three flags each tile
sets -- so a pit that stops feet but not bullets looks different from a wall.
It deliberately ignores fog, since hiding half the evidence would defeat the
point, and it reads every number from SimConfig/MapGrid/Content rather than
keeping its own copies, or it would just confirm its own mistakes.

Nearly every "that looked wrong" report in this project has been art and
simulation disagreeing, and each took a round trip to diagnose. This makes that
class of bug visible directly.

claude afe76c22ce Fix bullet atlas, animation speed, sprite flip, fire rate, silent shots
ci / verify (push) Successful in 46s
Bullet sprites were wrong because I read the pack's layout backwards. Each of
its 8 PNGs is one ANIMATION FRAME, and a column within a file is a COLOUR
variant -- so walking columns cycled the palette while the shape sat still, and
the rows I picked were in a region of larger multi-cell sprites, which is the
scattered debris that showed on screen. tools/build_local_assets.py now composes
a proper atlas: 8 frames across, one row per SimConfig.KIND_*.

Animations ran at whatever the machine's framerate was, because they counted
_process calls. At 240fps that is four times too fast on its own, before the
requested halving. Both actor and bullet animation are now driven by elapsed
seconds, so they look the same on any machine.

The knight shifted sideways instead of mirroring: a Rect2 with negative width
does not flip, the draw call normalises it, so the sprite kept its orientation
and jumped right by its own width. Mirrored through the canvas transform about
the sprite's centre instead.

Shots were silent when a bullet spawned inside an enemy. The sound rode on
BULLET_SPAWN, which is deliberately suppressed for a bullet resolved and removed
within the same tick -- so no event, no sound, and this got more likely the
closer you stood. Firing is now its own event (PLAYER_FIRED): the shot happened
whether or not a bullet survived to be replicated. Protocol 3 -> 4, because
inserting mid-enum shifts the wire value of every event after it.

Fire cooldown 7 -> 14 ticks (4.3 shots/sec).

Licence question 2, confirmed verbatim: the paid tier DOES grant commercial use
("You may use these assets in personal, commercial or non-commercial
projects"), but its next sentence still forbids redistribution "no matter how
much you modify it". Paying moves these from local-only-and-non-commercial to
local-only-and-commercial; it never makes them committable. Only replacing them
with permissively licensed art does that.

do not require it and the unused ones in considering_dont_use_yet/.

claude 3586555aea Remove non-redistributable art from the repo; record licence terms
Researched the licence at each of the four itch.io sources. Two of the four
forbid redistribution, and publishing a repository containing them is exactly
that, so they are out of the tree.

  0x72 DungeonTileset II    CC0 1.0    commercial ok, no credit required
  Helton Yan Pixel Combat   CC BY 4.0  commercial ok, CREDIT REQUIRED
  Fire Pixel Bullet 16x16   custom     non-commercial, NO REDISTRIBUTION
  750+ Effect and FX Pixel  custom     non-commercial, NO REDISTRIBUTION

Both bdragon1727 packs state verbatim: "You cannot do: Resell / redistribute
this asset." The FX pack's paid tier is no better for this purpose -- "You can
NOT re-distribute the file, no matter how much you modify it" -- so paying does
not unlock it and neither does editing the art.

bullets.png and impact.png therefore move to assets/local/, gitignored.
Art.bullets_texture() / impact_texture() load them at runtime and return null
when absent; the bullet renderer falls back to the generated dot it used before,
tinted per kind so bullet types stay distinguishable. Nothing there may be
preload()ed -- preload resolves at compile time and would fail the build on
every machine without the files, which is every clone.

Verified both ways rather than assumed: with the files present the game uses
them and no fallback triggers; with them moved aside, 156/156 tests pass and the
game runs clean on the generated dots.

Added CREDITS.md, because Helton Yan's CC BY 4.0 makes attribution a licence
obligation rather than a courtesy. A file in the source tree does not discharge
it once the game ships -- an in-game credits screen is now a tracked todo, and
flagged as a licence requirement rather than polish.

NOT addressed here, and it needs a decision: these files remain in git history
at 9fa2e26. Removing them from the tip does not remove them from a clone. If
this repo is ever made public, history has to be rewritten (git filter-repo)
and force-pushed. Also, both bdragon packs are non-commercial in their free
tier, which conflicts with the stated Steam goal -- either contribute for the
commercial tier (still no redistribution) or replace with CC0 art, which would
solve both problems and let the assets back into the repo.

claude 9fa2e260f2 Replace placeholder rendering with real sprites and audio
Terrain, actors, boss and bullets are sprites now, and four sounds play off
server events. 548KB total across seven files, out of 3.9GB of source packs.

- src/view/art.gd holds every atlas rect and sound path in one table, copied
  from the 0x72 pack's own tile_list. Scattering coordinates through draw calls
  would make re-cutting the atlas a hunt, and a wrong rect invisible.
- Bullets get one MultiMesh per kind rather than one overall: a
  MultiMeshInstance2D carries a single texture and each kind needs a different
  region of the sheet. Four draw calls, no custom shader passing UVs through
  per-instance data.
- src/view/sfx.gd is a 16-voice round-robin pool. Bullet-hell fire rates mean
  sounds overlap constantly, and identical sounds landing within two frames are
  collapsed so a ring hitting eight bullets is a bang rather than clipping.
  Every sound is triggered by a server event, never a local guess, so what you
  hear matches what happened.

Audio was converted, not copied: the pack ships 24-bit/96kHz masters averaging
2MB. Downsampled to 16-bit/44.1kHz mono, silence-trimmed, and the shoot sound
hard-capped to 0.30s -- it came out at 2.03s, against a fire cooldown of 0.12s,
which would have smeared held fire into noise.

tests/unit/test_art.gd checks what cannot be eyeballed here: every atlas rect
lands inside its texture, every animation frame of a strip fits (the last frame
is what runs off the sheet, not the first), there is a sprite per bullet kind
and per enemy visual, and no sound is long enough to stack badly. A wrong atlas
coordinate does not error -- it silently draws the wrong pixels.

Licence sources recorded in docs/ASSETS.md now that they are known. All four
are free versions and four rows still say "confirm at source": free itch packs
vary on credit and commercial use, and there is no credits screen yet.

155 tests (was 146). check.sh, test.sh and smoke.sh pass.

boss means giving it a dungeon or nobody will ever meet it.
- **Which dungeon you enter comes from where you are standing, never from the

## Present during development, not used in the game
Kept in the untracked `assetpacks/considering_dont_use_yet/` and referenced by
nothing. Credited for completeness.
**RF Catacombs v1.0** — Szadi art. Public domain per the pack's bundled
`public-license.txt`: free for personal or commercial use, credit appreciated
but not required, no reselling of the pack itself.
**Tiny RPG Character Asset Pack 02** and **neo_zero** (v1.0 and 3.0 demo) —
creators not recorded in the packs themselves. If either is ever used, record
the source and terms here first.
## Why two packs are not in this repository
Both bdragon1727 packs forbid redistribution, in **every** tier:
> Free tier: "You cannot do: Resell / redistribute this asset."
>
> Paid tier: "You can NOT re-distribute the file, no matter how much you modify
> it you can use it but not share or re-sell it."
A public repository distributes what it contains, so those files live in the
untracked `assets/local/`. The game falls back to generated placeholders
without them. See [docs/ASSETS.md](docs/ASSETS.md).

| | |
| --- | --- |
| **Twin-stick bullet hell** | Server-simulated bullet field, ~350 concurrent bullets at 0.24 ms/tick. |
| **Authoritative multiplayer** | Clients send input only. Hits, damage, death and instance transfers are server decisions. Prediction + reconciliation for the local player. |
| **Enemies** | Four readable behaviours (static, drift, orbit, approach, strafe) composed with bullet emitters. |
| **Boss** | The Warden of the Fold: stationary, four phases, each adding one idea. Defined entirely as data. |
| **Lobby hub** | Shared persistent instance with a portal into dungeon runs. |
| **Emergency escape** | Three-second channel back to the hub, cancelled by damage. |
| **Twin-stick bullet hell** | Server-simulated bullet field, ~300 concurrent bullets at 0.28 ms/tick — around 60x headroom against the 60 Hz budget. |
| **Authoritative multiplayer** | Clients send input and nothing else. Hits, damage, death, loot, upgrades and instance transfers are all server decisions. Prediction and reconciliation for the local player. |
| **Enemies** | Five readable movements (static, drift, orbit, approach, strafe) composed with bullet emitters. Nothing deals contact damage; every threat is a bullet you can see. |
| **Two bosses** | The Warden of the Fold stands still through four phases. The Cantor of the Vault walks a circuit, chases, orbits, and marks the floor before it strikes. Both are pure data. |
| **Three dungeons** | Two real runs, one per boss, plus a Proving Grounds: the same content at a fraction of the health and ten times the drop rate, for testing by hand. |
| **Characters** | Up to five living per account, permadeath, levels 115, experience shared across the party undivided. |
| **Inventory and loot** | Four slots, always on screen. Loot is either world-shared or instanced per player, and the instanced kind is filtered on the wire rather than hidden in the client. |
| **Upgrades** | Seven, drawn three at a time and spent at a hub NPC. Damage, fire rate, extra projectiles, splitting, poison, and a legendary that deletes enemy bullets. |
| **Emergency escape** | A one-second channel back to the hub that damage does **not** interrupt — because if it did, quitting the process would be the better escape. Dropping your connection runs the same channel. |
| **Settings** | Rebindable controls and volumes, and an in-game credits screen. |

## Not ready for the internet
`LocalAuthProvider` lets any client claim any account id. It exists to have the
same shape as Steamworks so swapping is one class, and it must be replaced
before this is reachable from anywhere untrusted. There is no transport
encryption either. See [docs/ROADMAP.md](docs/ROADMAP.md).

# Local-only assets
Files here are **deliberately not in git**, because their licences forbid
redistribution — and publishing a repository containing them is redistribution.
Currently:
| File | Pack | Restriction |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `bullets.png` | [Fire Pixel Bullet 16x16](https://bdragon1727.itch.io/fire-pixel-bullet-16x16) | "You cannot do: Resell / redistribute this asset." Free tier is non-commercial only. |
| `impact.png` | [750 Effect and FX Pixel All](https://bdragon1727.itch.io/750-effect-and-fx-pixel-all) | Same wording. Even the paid tier: "You can NOT re-distribute the file, no matter how much you modify it." |
The game degrades rather than breaks without them: `Art.bullets_texture()`
returns null and the renderer falls back to a generated dot. That fallback is
what a fresh clone gets, and it is why nothing here may be `preload()`ed —
`preload` is resolved at compile time and would fail the whole build on a
machine that does not have these files.
To restore them locally, copy from `assetpacks/` (also untracked):
```
cp "assetpacks/New_All_Fire_Bullet_Pixel_16x16/All_Fire_Bullet_Pixel_16x16_00.png" assets/local/bullets.png
cp "assetpacks/Effect and FX Pixel All Free/Part 1/03.png" assets/local/impact.png
```

@@ -45,11 +45,41 @@ This project deliberately does not, for four reasons:
prototyping and wrong for this shape: it would replicate per-bullet state and
saturate the link. See [NETCODE.md](NETCODE.md).
The trade is that there is no physics engine — no arbitrary collision shapes, no
tilemap collision. The arena is a rectangle and every hit is circle-vs-circle.
For a bullet hell that is not a limitation; hitboxes in the genre are circles by
convention anyway. A dungeon with real geometry would need a static collision
representation added to `SimWorld`, not a switch back to nodes.
The trade is that there is no physics engine, so collision is hand-written.
Since Stage 1 that means a tile grid ([MapGrid](../src/sim/map_grid.gd)):
circle-vs-tile for actors, a point test for bullets, and Bresenham line of sight
shared by fog and aggro. Actor-vs-actor hits stay circle-vs-circle, which is the
genre convention anyway.
That was the right call rather than a compromise: the same grid answers
collision, sight, and per-peer interest management as array lookups. On arbitrary
polygons all three become intersection tests, and the fog query in particular
stops being cheap enough to run every frame.
What it costs: geometry is axis-aligned and 32px-quantised, and bullets must
travel less than one tile per tick or the point test steps over walls (pinned by
`test_bullet_speeds_stay_below_the_tunnelling_threshold`).
## Where the layers sit now
Four things are worth knowing before reading any file:
- **Geometry is per-world.** There is no global arena. `SimWorld.map` is a
[MapGrid](../src/sim/map_grid.gd); the hub and every dungeon have their own,
and the client holds a *partial* copy streamed to it in chunks.
- **`src/meta/` is server-only.** Accounts, characters, levels, experience,
inventories and upgrades live there. The simulation reads a player's level and
maximum health and moves items between the ground and a bag; it never writes
progression or touches the store. It announces what happened and
`ServerRuntime` banks it. One writer means a level cannot disagree with the
experience that earned it.
- **Derived, never stored.** Level comes from lifetime experience; combat
numbers come from the upgrade list ([PlayerStats](../src/sim/player_stats.gd));
maximum health comes from the level and the upgrades. Nothing that can be
recomputed is persisted, so nothing saved can disagree with what produced it.
- **`src/core/settings.gd` is the exception to "shared".** Everything else in
`src/core/` is agreed by both sides; settings are the player's own machine
and never reach the server.
## Tick
@@ -75,6 +105,13 @@ BossDef = stats + ordered phases
`SimWorld._run_emitters()` is shared by enemies and bosses, so any pattern can
be dropped on either. A boss is four phases layering one idea at a time; a new
boss is a new function in `src/content/content.gd` and zero simulation changes.
`SimWorld._move_boss()` is the same idea for movement: the mode is a field on
the phase, and adding a boss that walks needs no code.
Emitters are **stateless**. They are shared resources — two bosses of the same
kind would otherwise stomp each other's timers — so anything an emitter needs to
remember between two ticks has to be derived instead. `TelegraphedStrikeEmitter`
computes its strike positions from the volley number for exactly this reason.

Grouped by layer. The rule the whole thing hangs on: **`src/sim/` imports

### Shared constants and helpers
| File | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `src/core/sim_config.gd` | Every constant server and client must agree on. |
| `src/core/movement.gd` | Pure movement + overlap helpers. Shared by prediction. |
| `src/core/game_log.gd`, `game_opts.gd` | Static; usable from tools and tests. |
| `src/sim/sim_world.gd` | The simulation. Authority flag decides what runs. |
| `src/core/settings.gd` | Client-local preferences. Never reaches the server. |
| `src/core/credits.gd` | Third-party assets and their licences. Two are CC BY, so this is a legal requirement. |
### The simulation
| File | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `src/sim/sim_world.gd` | The simulation. The authority flag decides what runs. |
| `src/sim/bullet_pool.gd` | Struct-of-arrays bullet storage and integration. |
| `src/sim/input_frame.gd` | The only thing a client may assert about itself. |
| `src/net/net_codec.gd` | Snapshot / event / input binary codecs. |
| `src/net/server_runtime.gd` | Instances, ticking, transfers, broadcast. |
| `src/sim/player_stats.gd` | Combat numbers derived from a character's upgrades. |
| `src/sim/poison_track.gd` | Damage over time. O(1) per actor per tick however many doses. |
| `src/sim/sim_loot.gd` | An item on the ground: world-shared, or owned by one peer. |
| `src/sim/sim_portal.gd` | A dungeon entrance, and which dungeon it opens. |
| `src/sim/map_grid.gd` | Tile grid: collision, line of sight, chunked streaming. |
| `src/sim/map_gen.gd` | Dungeon generation. **Server-side only** — the client is never given the seed. |
| `src/sim/patterns/` | Bullet emitters. Stateless; the authoring surface for every fight. |
### Content (data, in code)
| File | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `src/content/content.gd` | Every enemy and boss. `ALL_ENEMIES` / `ALL_BOSSES` are what the tools and tests iterate. |
| `src/content/items.gd` | Every item. `Items.ORDER` doubles as the wire format. |
| `src/content/upgrades.gd` | The seven upgrades and their draw weights. |
| `src/content/dungeons.gd` | The kinds of run. `ORDER` is a wire format *and* the hub's portal order. |
| `src/content/rooms.gd` | Hand-authored stamps: the hub and each boss arena, as text. |
| `src/actors/` | The `Resource` definitions those tables build: enemy, boss, item, loot, upgrade, dungeon. |
### Server-owned state
| File | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `src/meta/progression.gd` | XP curve and what a level is worth. Pure functions. |
| `src/meta/character.gd`, `character_store.gd` | Characters and their JSON persistence. |
| `src/meta/auth_provider.gd` | Identity, shaped like Steamworks so it swaps out. |
| `src/instances/instance.gd` | The hub and one dungeon run: a world plus a peer list. |
### Network
| File | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `src/net/net_codec.gd` | Every binary codec: snapshot, events, input, roster, characters, map chunks, portals, upgrade state. |
| `src/net/server_runtime.gd` | Instances, ticking, transfers, interest, progression, persistence, map streaming. |
| `src/net/client_runtime.gd` | Prediction, reconciliation, interpolation, bot input. |
| `src/instances/instance.gd` | Lobby hub and dungeon progression. |
| `src/autoload/net.gd` | ENet lifecycle, RPCs, local loopback for listen servers. |
| `src/view/bullet_renderer.gd` | The whole bullet field in one MultiMesh draw call. |
| `src/net/protocol.gd` | Wire version and constants. Bump `VERSION` whenever a layout changes. |
| `src/autoload/net.gd` | ENet lifecycle, RPCs, local loopback for listen servers. The only autoload. |
### View and UI (read-only; decides nothing)
| File | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `src/view/world_view.gd` | Everything that is not a bullet. Fog, actors, loot, telegraphs. |
| `src/view/bullet_renderer.gd` | The bullet field: one MultiMesh per bullet kind. |
| `src/view/art.gd` | Every atlas rect and sound path, in one table. |
| `src/view/ui_theme.gd` | The control theme, built in code from the UI pack. |
| `src/view/debug_draw.gd` | F1 overlay: what the simulation collides against. |
| `src/view/game_scene.gd`, `sfx.gd` | Wiring the view to whatever client `Net` currently has. |
| `src/ui/hud.gd` | Bars, inventory, prompts. Drawn, not built from controls. |
| `src/ui/main_menu.gd`, `game_menu.gd` | Connect screen and the in-game menu. |
| `src/ui/character_select.gd` | Roster screen: pick or create. |
| `src/ui/upgrade_screen.gd` | The quartermaster's three choices, and what you hold. |
| `src/ui/settings_screen.gd`, `credits_screen.gd` | Controls, volumes, attribution. |

## Why nothing is imported yet
## How assets get from a pack into the game
`assetpacks/` carries a `.gdignore`, so Godot skips it entirely. Nothing there
can be referenced from a scene or script until it is copied into
`res://assets/` in game-ready form. That is deliberate: the tree is 3.9 GB, and
`tools/check.sh` runs `--import`, which would otherwise walk all of it on every

## Packs
What is in the game today is three sprite sheets, four sounds and twelve small
UI sprites. Sprite rects and sound paths are all declared in one
place, [src/view/art.gd](../src/view/art.gd), and
`tests/unit/test_art.gd` asserts every rect lands inside its texture — a wrong
atlas coordinate does not error, it silently draws the wrong pixels.

### Action needed before shipping anything
Checked against each pack's itch.io page, and against the licence file the pack
itself ships where there is one. **Two of the five forbid redistribution**,
which is what publishing a repository containing them would be — so they are not

Four of the six packs arrived with no licence text at all. Redistribution terms
for pixel-art and audio packs vary a lot — some free packs forbid commercial
use, some require credit, and "free demo" versions (two of the undecided packs
are demos) are often more restricted than the paid ones.

### The blocking clause
Both bdragon1727 packs state, verbatim:
> **You cannot do:** Resell / redistribute this asset.
And the paid tier of the FX pack is no better for this purpose:
> You can NOT re-distribute the file, no matter how much you modify it you can
> use it but not share or re-sell it.
Putting those files in a public repository distributes them to everyone who
clones it, which is squarely what that forbids. Paying for the commercial tier
does **not** unlock it — the restriction survives payment and survives
modification.
So they live in `assets/local/`, which is gitignored. `Art.bullets_texture()`
and `Art.impact_texture()` load them at runtime if present and return null if
not; the bullet renderer falls back to a generated dot. Verified both ways: with the files
present the game uses them, and with them hidden the whole suite still passes
and the game runs — `tests/unit/test_art.gd` has an explicit case for their
absence, because a clean clone is the configuration most contributors will
actually have.
This is also why nothing there may be `preload()`ed — `preload` resolves at
compile time and would fail the build on every machine that lacks the files.
### The UI pack is the easy case
Crusenho's *Complete UI Essential Pack* ships its own `License.txt` naming
CC BY 4.0 outright, with the licensor and store link spelled out. That permits
redistribution and commercial use, so unlike the bullet and FX packs a subset of
it is committed — twelve PNGs, 48 KB, under `assets/sprites/ui/`, listed in
`UiTheme.TEXTURES`.
Only what the game uses was copied rather than all 98 sprites: each committed
PNG costs a Godot `.import` sidecar, and a directory of files nothing references
is a directory nobody prunes. The rest stays in the untracked pack.
The obligation it creates is the same one the audio creates — see below.
### Two obligations this creates
1. **Two packs are CC BY 4.0 and require attribution** — Helton Yan's audio and
Crusenho's UI art. A file in the source tree does not satisfy that once the
game ships, because a player who downloaded a build never sees it. **Done:**
Settings → Credits shows the same list, built from
[src/core/credits.gd](../src/core/credits.gd), including a link to the
licence text as CC BY asks. `tests/unit/test_credits.gd` asserts every source
there also appears in [CREDITS.md](../CREDITS.md) and in this file, so the
three cannot drift apart.
2. **Both bdragon packs are non-commercial in their free tier.** Buying the
full tier *does* fix that — confirmed verbatim from the FX pack's paid
licence: "You may use these assets in personal, commercial or
non-commercial projects."
It does **not** fix the repository problem. The paid licence's very next
sentence is: "You can NOT re-distribute the file, no matter how much you
modify it you can use it but not share or re-sell it." Redistribution is
forbidden at every tier, so paying moves these assets from
*local-only-and-non-commercial* to *local-only-and-commercial*. They cannot
be committed to a public repo at any price.
The only route that puts bullet and FX art back into the repository is
replacing it with something permissive (CC0, or CC BY with attribution),
which would also remove the local-asset fallback machinery.
### Not in use
`assetpacks/considering_dont_use_yet/` is the "not chosen" marker and nothing
there is referenced. It contains RF Catacombs v1.0 (public domain per its
bundled `public-license.txt` — free for personal or commercial use, credit
appreciated, no reselling; artwork by Szadi art), plus Tiny RPG Character Pack
02 and neo_zero demos, whose terms are unrecorded.

---
## Characters and progression
**Level 1 is base health; each level adds 10.** So level 15 is
`PLAYER_MAX_HP + 14 * 10` = 240. Level is *derived* from lifetime experience
rather than stored alongside it, so the two can never disagree — a hand-edited
save cannot produce a level 12 character with a level 3's experience.
**The five-character cap counts LIVING characters only.** Retired ones stay in
the store forever but free their slot. Counting the dead would lock a player out
of their own account permanently after five deaths, which is not a punishment
anyone signed up for.
**Death unbinds the character entirely.** There is deliberately no "return to
the hub as the character who just died" — the run is over, so the peer is
removed from the instance and left at the roster screen. The one exception is a
linkdead player, which has nobody to show a roster to, so its body is left for
the escape channel to resolve as before.
**Experience is shared across the party, undivided.** Everyone alive in the
instance receives the full amount for a kill. Splitting it would make bringing a
friend cost you progress, which is the opposite of what the hub roster exists to
encourage.
**A level-up heals by the amount it added.** Gaining a level mid-fight should
feel like relief, not like the bar you were watching got further from full.
**The character store refuses to start rather than starting empty.** A corrupt
or unreadable save aborts the server. Loading empty would look like it worked
and then overwrite every character on the first level-up.
**Account ids are written as decimal strings in JSON.** They are 64-bit and JSON
numbers are doubles, which would silently round them.
**Character swapping is hub-only, enforced on the server.** Swapping inside a
dungeon would be an instant, uninterruptible exit from danger — strictly better
than the one-second escape channel, and it would make that channel pointless.
The menu greys the button out so the rule is visible, but the server refuses
regardless of what any client's UI allows.
**Health regenerates at 0.5% of MAXIMUM per second, with no out-of-combat
gate.** 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 combat gate because 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 dead character is gone, as far as the player is concerned.** Retirement is
the server's own bookkeeping for archival and troubleshooting; the roster the
client receives contains living characters only. Listing the dead would offer a
choice that cannot be taken.
**Experience rides the snapshot, not the character roster.** The roster is only
re-sent when the *set* of characters changes, so a bar fed from it moved only on
level-up or a swap. The live total is four bytes on a message that already goes
out at 20 Hz.
---
## Inventory and loot
**Four slots, permanently on screen.** An inventory you have to open is a menu,
and a menu is a death in a game where the floor is bullets. `INVENTORY_SLOTS` is
one constant that the wire format, the save record and the HUD all read, so
growing it is a one-line change — but not into a paged or scrolling UI.
**Item actions ride the input frame rather than becoming new messages.**
`InputFrame` gained `BTN_USE`, `BTN_DROP` and a slot byte. Using an item happens
*during* a fight, so it has to be ordered against movement on the same tick and
be as cheap to reject as a movement vector. Riding the existing stream gets the
redundancy that covers a dropped packet, the replay guard on `last_input_tick`,
and a rate limit of one action per tick for free. A separate reliable RPC would
have needed every one of those bolted back on.
**Item actions are edge-triggered; movement and fire are not.** The client
resends its last few frames every tick and a starved server coasts on the last
one it holds, so a level-triggered read would empty the whole inventory in four
ticks. The *slot* is part of the edge as well — tapping 2 while 1 is still held
is a second, distinct action rather than a swallowed one.
**Loot has two visibilities, and the instanced one is enforced on the wire.**
World-shared loot is one entity the first player to reach it takes.
Player-instanced loot is one entity per eligible player, and a peer is never
told the other copies exist — the filter lives in `NetCodec.encode_snapshot`
beside the actor interest radius, not in the client. It is an
interest-management rule, not a UI convention.
**The Warden's Ration is useless on purpose.** It is dropped by every boss, one
per player who was alive for the kill, and does nothing when used. Its job is to
make sure the player-instanced path runs on every single boss kill instead of
being a code path nothing exercises. If it ever gains an effect, that job needs
a new holder.
**Anything dropped becomes world-shared, whatever it was before.** An instanced
trophy you do not want should be able to reach someone who does — otherwise
"droppable" means nothing for half the items in the game.
**A potion used at full health is refused, not spent.** Nobody drinks one on
purpose at full health, so a mistimed keypress must not do it for them. The
useless ration, by contrast, *is* consumed: "does nothing" has to mean a
completed transaction or it proves nothing about the path it exists to test.
**A full bag leaves the item on the floor.** Nothing is destroyed by a failed
pickup, and the failure does not block the portal, which shares the interact
key.
**Inventories live on the character and are written on every transaction.**
Not on a timer: a crash between "picked it up" and "wrote it down" must not be a
way to lose an item, or — far worse — to duplicate one. They are stored as item
*ids* rather than wire indices, so a save survives `Items.ORDER` being appended
to, and an id this build does not know decays to an empty slot rather than to
the wrong item.
**Items do not stack.** One id per slot, no count, no charges. Everything the
game currently needs fits that, and the wire format, the save record and the UI
are all simpler for it. Add a count when something actually needs one.
**Ground loot never expires; each world caps at `MAX_LOOT_PER_INSTANCE`,
oldest evicted.** Dungeons close and take their litter with them, so only the
hub — which never closes and where players can drop things — can realistically
reach the cap.
---
## More than one dungeon
**A second dungeon is a set of multipliers over the shared content, not a
parallel copy of it.** `DungeonDef` scales enemy health, boss health and loot
chance; the generator, the rooms, the enemy mix and the boss are the same
objects the real run uses. A duplicated `Content` would drift from the original
the first time anything was tuned, and the whole value of the Proving Grounds is
that it is *identical apart from the numbers*.
**It is reachable from the hub rather than hidden behind a launch flag.** A flag
would need a server restart to switch, which makes comparing the two a chore
and makes "does this behave the same in the real run?" a question nobody
bothers to ask. Two portals a few metres apart makes it a five-second check.
**Which dungeon you enter is decided by where you are standing.** The portal is
resolved server-side from the player's own position, and the `PORTAL_USED` event
carries the answer. There is deliberately no client message that names a
dungeon: one would let any client ask for the Proving Grounds' loot rate and
walk out with it.
**The instance matcher compares dungeon ids.** A forming run only accepts party
members who asked for that kind. Without it, walking into one entrance could
drop you into the other's run purely on timing.
**Scaling clamps at both ends.** Health never scales below 1 — a creature with
zero health is a crash waiting for a divide — and a boosted drop chance never
exceeds certain, or the roll becomes dead code and "chance" stops meaning
anything.
---
## Upgrades
**Damage is `base × (1 + Σ additive) × Π multiplicative`.** The flat +5% every
upgrade carries, Spread's 10%, Doubleshot's 50% and Glass Cannon's +100% pool
into the additive term; Sniper's ×2 multiplies the result. The brief called
Sniper out as multiplicative specifically, and this is what that buys: it stays
worth taking however many percentages have already piled up, and two Snipers is
4× rather than +200%.
**The +5% belongs to *taking an upgrade*, not to any particular upgrade.** It
lives in `SimConfig.UPGRADE_DAMAGE_BONUS` and is applied once per upgrade held,
rather than being baked into seven definitions where it would be seven places
to get wrong.
**A character record becomes a live player in exactly one place.**
`ServerRuntime._adopt_character`, called from `_place`, which every transfer
goes through. `SimWorld` knows nothing about characters and hands back a blank
player on every instance change, so something has to give it back its level,
upgrades and bag — and for a long time only character *select* did. Every
portal and every escape reset the player to level 1 with base stats and an
empty inventory, while the record on disk stayed correct, which made it look
like a display bug.
**Stats are derived from the upgrade list, never stored.** `PlayerStats.build()`
recomputes them from the ids the character holds, the same way `Progression`
derives level from experience. One source of truth means a saved stat can never
disagree with the upgrades that produced it.
**Glass Cannon halves the LEVELLED maximum health, and multiplies if taken
twice.** Half of base HP would be a flat 50 that fades from brutal at level 1
to nearly free at level 15, which is the wrong direction for a drawback.
**Poison doses stack independently rather than refreshing.** Chosen over the
alternatives knowing it is by far the strongest reading: at ~4.3 shots/sec that
is dozens of concurrent doses. It costs nothing to run because every dose lasts
the same number of ticks — so they expire in the order they were added, the
pending expiries are a plain FIFO, and only its front is ever examined.
**Split Shot's children leave at ±45° from the original heading**, 90° apart,
and are born just past the target rather than on it. A child spawned inside
what was just hit would be resolved against it again on the same tick — a free
second hit, and with several charges a free chain of them.
**Level-ups queue.** Reaching two levels in one run owes two choices. Losing one
for doing well is a punishment nobody would guess at.
**The offer is rolled once and held on the character.** If it regenerated when
the screen opened, closing and reopening would be a free reroll and everyone
would press it until a legendary turned up. It is written to disk with
everything else, so a crash is not a reroll either.
**Upgrades are spent standing at the hub NPC, enforced on the server.** Same
rule as the dungeon portal: where a player is standing is the one thing a
modified client cannot fake. The screen closes when you walk away so it never
offers a button that would be refused.
**Bullet speed has a hard ceiling.** Wall collision samples a position once per
tick, so anything faster than one tile per tick tunnels through geometry. Two
Snipers would ask for 2480 u/s against a 1920 threshold, and a tunnelling
bullet looks exactly like a bullet — so `MAX_BULLET_SPEED` clamps it and a test
pins the clamp.
**Poison ticks are not announced as hits.** They land many times a second on a
reliable channel, and the client learns enemy health from the snapshot anyway.
Death is still announced, because the experience award is keyed on that event
and a kill by poison has to score.
---
## The scale of the numbers
**Health and damage are ten times what they started as, and every ratio is
unchanged.** A shot is 60, a fresh character has 1000, the Warden has 36000,
and enemy health and emitter damage were scaled with them — time to kill is
exactly what it was.
The reason is rounding, not balance. Damage is an integer, and at a base of 6
the +5% that every upgrade carries computed to 6.3 and rounded back to 6: a
player took their first upgrade, was told it made them stronger, and it did
nothing. Ten times the base means every 5% step is worth 3 damage. The same
applies to the boss's per-phase armour multiplier, which at 6 damage rounded
1.15 into 1.17.
**The practice dummy is indestructible by flag, not by a large number.** The
old 100000 health was already past the u16 the snapshot sends enemy health in,
and once a shot did 60 a patient player could have worn it down and left the
hub without a practice target until the next restart. A flag says what was
actually meant.
---
## Bosses that move, and attacks that warn
**Movement belongs to the phase, not to the boss.** A fight that stands still
and then starts hunting you is one boss with two phases. `BossDef.stationary`
was removed rather than kept alongside the phases: a flag claiming the boss
stood still while one of its phases walked around would be a second source of
truth, and the wrong one. `BossDef.moves()` is derived.
**CHASE holds a distance instead of closing.** A boss standing on top of a
player is a boss whose bullets cannot be read, and this genre cannot afford
that. It backs off when you come inside its preferred range.
**Waypoints are fractions of the arena.** The Warden's hall and the Choir Vault
are different sizes, and a phase written against absolute coordinates would only
work in one of them.
**The boss room clamp moved after movement.** It was a no-op while every boss
was stationary. Boss rooms deliberately do not lock, so walking out is always an
escape — which is only true if the boss cannot follow.
**Telegraphed strikes are announced by a stateless emitter.** Emitters are
shared resources, so nothing may be remembered between the warning and the
strike; the positions are derived from the volley number instead, and a test
asserts the burst lands where the marker promised.
**Telegraph markers are drawn through fog and through walls**, unlike every
other thing in the view. A warning you cannot see is an unavoidable hit with
extra steps, which is the opposite of what a telegraph is for.
**Each boss has its own entrance in the hub.** A dungeon names the arena it ends
in, and the arena decides the boss. Which fight you are walking into is the one
thing a player chooses before a run, so it is not rolled for them — not from the
depth (a dev flag nothing in play raises, which left the second boss
unreachable) and not from the seed either. Only the Proving Grounds leaves it
open, because a harness you re-enter every couple of minutes wants whichever
fight comes up first.
---
## Bullets do not animate
**One frame, and a slow turn.** The bullet sheet's eight frames are a colour
cycle rather than a shape change, and running it meant every bullet on screen
strobed through a palette in unison — genuinely hard to look at with a few
hundred in the air, which is the normal case for this game.
Each bullet now holds one frame and rotates at `Art.BULLET_SPIN_RATE`, offset by
its own id so a ring of twenty does not turn 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 as spin — a test pins that against the
longest-lived bullet in the game.
The other seven frames stay in the atlas because that is what the source art is.
Nothing draws them, and the renderer now slices four textures at startup instead
of thirty-two.
---
## Settings
**Preferences are local to the client and nothing else knows about them.**
Which key fires produces the same [InputFrame] either way, so the server has no
opinion and never hears about it. `Settings` is static for the same reason
`GameOpts` is: a `--script` tool has no main loop and cannot resolve autoloads.
**Bindings are stored as physical keycodes and labelled through the active
layout.** Physical is what `tools/setup_input_map.gd` already uses, so bindings
follow key *position*; translating the label back means an AZERTY player reads
the letter printed on the key their fingers are on. The translation is skipped
on a display server with no keyboard — headless does not merely lack the call,
it logs an engine error and hands the argument back, and there is no feature
flag to test for.
**A rebind replaces every event on the action, not just the first.** Keeping the
alternates would mean the action still answered to the key you just moved away
from, which reads as the rebind not having worked. The cost is that rebinding
movement loses the arrow keys; untouched actions keep all their defaults.
**One key doing two things is refused, and the clash is named.** Silently
accepting it produces a control scheme that is broken in a way the player has to
diagnose themselves.
**"Reset" restores what the PROJECT shipped**, captured once before anything
overrides it. Captured later it would restore the last session's choice — that
is, the thing the player was trying to undo.
**Panels are the pack's shape in this game's colours.** The set is cream
throughout, which is right for buttons — they are meant to be the bright thing
you press — and wrong for a dialog laid over a dark dungeon. The panel stylebox
is modulated dark, which keeps the pixel border and the corner shape and lets
every label the game already draws in light colours stay readable. The
alternative was recolouring every label in five screens to suit the art.
**A card's rarity is its frame, not a word on it.** Three upgrade choices are
compared at a glance, and a colour reads faster than a label.
**Effects play on an SFX bus created at runtime.** A bus layout resource would
be one more file to keep in step with the code that reads it, and the sliders
being real mixer settings beats multiplying a number into every `play()` call.
---
## Drawing a boss that moves
**The boss is interpolated between snapshots like every other actor.** It was
not — `boss_state()` handed back the newest snapshot raw, so the boss stepped at
the 20 Hz snapshot rate rather than the frame rate. Invisible for as long as
every boss stood still, and the first one that moved looked broken. Not
interpolated across an instance change, though: the previous snapshot describes
a different fight in a different room.
**A CHASE boss has a dead band around its preferred distance.** The correction
is signed, so without one the sign flips every tick at the standoff and the boss
vibrates on the spot at the tick rate — a couple of pixels, and unmistakable.

from the live content, so adding a faster or longer-lived bullet fails a test
rather than producing bullets that wink into existence.
## Loot has two visibilities, and one of them is an interest rule
Ground loot rides the snapshot rather than an event stream: items do not move,
so re-sending them 20 times a second costs almost nothing and a lost packet
costs nothing at all — which a spawn-once event could not claim.
Each item is either **world-shared** (`SimLoot.owner_peer == 0`) or
**player-instanced** (owned by exactly one peer). The instanced kind is filtered
in `NetCodec.encode_snapshot`, next to the actor interest radius and for the
same reason: a peer is never *told* that another player's copy exists, so a
modified client has nothing to reveal. Hiding it in the UI would have been the
same class of mistake as relying on fog to hide enemies.
Two consequences:
- **An instanced item leaves with its owner.** `SimWorld.remove_player` deletes
loot owned by the departing peer. Nobody else can see or take it, so leaving
it behind would be an invisible entity the instance carries until it closes.
- **Anything dropped becomes world-shared**, whatever it was before. That is
what makes dropping worth having.
The Warden's Ration exists to keep this path honest: it is dropped instanced on
every boss kill, so the filter runs in every real fight rather than only in
tests.
## Which dungeon you enter is a position, not a request
The hub holds a list of portals, each bound to a dungeon id. Pressing interact
resolves the player's **server-side** position through `SimWorld.portal_at()`,
and the resulting `PORTAL_USED` event carries which dungeon that entrance opens.
There is no client message that names a dungeon, and there must not be: one
would let any client ask for the Proving Grounds' loot rate — ten times the drop
chance — and bring the results back to the hub. The same reasoning as everywhere
else here; the difference between "the server checks your request" and "there is
no request" is the whole model.
`enter_instance` carries the portal list (position plus a dungeon index, via
`NetCodec.encode_portals`) and the id of the dungeon you have arrived in. The
client needs the latter to scale the boss's health ceiling the same way the
server did, or the boss bar would sit near empty for an entire easy fight.
## Item actions ride the input frame
`InputFrame` carries `BTN_USE`, `BTN_DROP` and a slot byte (10 bytes total, up
from 9). The alternative — a reliable `c_use_item(slot)` RPC — would have needed
its own replay guard, its own rate limit, and its own ordering story against the
movement on the same tick. The input stream already has all three.
The one thing it does not give for free is edge detection. The client repeats
its last few frames every tick (that redundancy is what covers a dropped packet)
and a starved server coasts on the last frame it holds, so a level-triggered
read would spend four items in four ticks. `SimPlayer.prev_buttons` and
`prev_slot` hold the edge; the slot is part of it, so tapping 2 while 1 is still
held is a second action rather than a swallowed one. Movement and fire stay
level-triggered — holding them is exactly what you mean.
Pickup shares `BTN_INTERACT` with the dungeon portal. Loot wins when both are in
reach, but only on a tick where something was actually taken, so a full bag
cannot leave a player standing on the portal unable to use it.
## Upgrades change what a shot is, and none of it is client-side
A player's damage, fire rate, bullet speed, shot count and every rider
(splitting, poison, erasure) come from `PlayerStats`, rebuilt on the server from
the upgrade ids the character holds. The client builds its own copy for the
choice screen's summary, and that copy decides nothing — it exists so the panel
can show real numbers instead of promises.
Three things fall out of it worth writing down:
- **The riders live on the bullet, not on the shooter.** A shot already in
flight keeps what it was fired with, so taking Poison mid-flight cannot reach
back and poison it. They stay zero on a replica, which never resolves a hit
and has no use for them.
- **Choosing an upgrade is intent, checked three ways.** The client sends an
index; the server checks a choice is owed, that the index names one of the
three options *it* put on the table, and that the player is standing at the
hub NPC. The index selects from a list the client did not write.
- **The offer is server state.** Rolled once, stored on the character, and
persisted — so closing the screen is not a reroll, and neither is a crash.

## Where things stand
**Every stage in the original brief is built.** The MVP asked for a twin-stick
bullet hell, server-side hit validation, predictable enemies, an adaptable boss,
a lobby hub with dungeon runs, and an emergency escape. All of that exists, plus
the four stages that followed: characters and permadeath, inventory and loot,
upgrades, and a second boss that moves.
So there is no obvious "next ticket". What follows is the honest list of
candidates, none of which the user has chosen — **ask before starting one.**
| Candidate | Why it might be next | What it needs first |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Replace `LocalAuthProvider`** | It is the one thing standing between this and a server anyone else can reach. Any client can claim any account id. | Nothing technical — it is one `AuthProvider` subclass. Needs a decision about Steam vs something else. |
| **A reason to keep playing past level 15** | Levels cap, `--depth` never rises in play, and a cleared dungeon gives experience and a potion. The long loop is missing. | Open question 1 below. |
| **An economy** | Loot only drops from kills; nothing sells anything. The quartermaster is the obvious shop and has no currency to take. | Open questions 2 and 3. |
| **Impact and hit feedback** | `Art.IMPACT` is loaded and validated and nothing plays it. No hit flash, no screen shake, no death animation. | Nothing. This is the cheapest visible win. |
| **Replace the two non-redistributable packs** | Bullet and FX art is local-only and non-commercial, which blocks both a public repo copy and a commercial release. | CC0 or CC BY replacements. See [ASSETS.md](ASSETS.md). |
| **Transport encryption** | `ENetMultiplayerPeer` supports DTLS. Required before a public server, not before then. | Follows the auth decision. |
Each stage below also carries its own **Known gaps** section — those are smaller
and more specific than the table above.
### Known flake
`tools/smoke.sh` failed once in a pre-push hook and then passed on four
consecutive runs with no stray processes. It was not reproduced and is not
diagnosed. The suspicion is machine load — the smoke test has fixed tick budgets
and was competing with a full suite run — but that is a guess. If it recurs,
that is the first thing to check.
---
## Verification surface
What "everything passes" currently means. Numbers move; the shape does not.
| Gate | Covers | Runtime |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `tools/check.sh` | every script parses and type-checks | ~5s |
| `tools/test.sh` | 468 GUT tests, no SceneTree | ~4s |
| `tools/smoke.sh` | 23 assertions over a real ENet socket: handshake, auth, character creation and persistence, both dungeon kinds, escape, hard kill, polite disconnect | ~40s |
| `diag_prediction.tscn` | client-prediction gap, with injected clock drift | ~10s |
| `diag_progression.tscn` | kill → xp → level → health, death → retire → roster, swap guards | ~10s |
| `diag_loot.tscn` | drop → snapshot → pick up → persist → use → drop, and both loot visibilities on the wire | ~10s |
| `diag_upgrades.tscn` | level → banked choice → refused in a dungeon and away from the NPC → taken → new stats → persisted → **survives every zone change** | ~10s |
`tools/screenshot.tscn` is a **manual** check, not a gate: it needs a display,
and it is the only thing in the project that can tell you the interface
actually rendered. Run it after touching `src/ui/`. It captures the main menu,
the HUD, the pause menu, settings, credits and the upgrade choice — the last of
those by staging an offer, because earning one would make the shot depend on a
dungeon run.
It has now caught four bugs that every other gate passed: the theme applying to
nothing, the test suite rewriting the player's settings, an invisible slider
track and an invisible scrollbar.
The four diagnostics exist because the smoke test structurally cannot reach
what they cover: bots are poor shots (so they neither level up, produce drops,
nor walk to the quartermaster), and a listen server cannot drift its own clock
against itself.

Three entrances stand side by side in the hub, labelled with the fight each one

| Identity abstraction | Shaped like Steamworks so it swaps out cleanly: opaque ticket from client → server validates → stable 64-bit account id (a SteamID64 stand-in). Local dev provider persists a generated id in `user://`. See [DECISIONS.md](DECISIONS.md#identity). |
| Character store | Server-side, keyed by account id. Needs a schema and a file format; nothing persistent exists in the project today. |
| Up to 5 characters, random colour each | Colour is a placeholder for a later cosmetic system. |

| The Choir Vault | `choir_vault` | `choir_vault` → the Cantor | ×1 | ×1 | ×1 |
| Proving Grounds | `proving_grounds` | *whichever the seed rolls* | ×0.2 | ×0.08 | ×10 (clamped) |
Current behaviour to replace: `SimPlayer` has no identity beyond a peer id;
`ServerRuntime.peer_names` is client-supplied and trusted for display only.
**A dungeon names its arena, and the arena decides its boss.** Which boss you
are about to fight is the one thing a player chooses before walking into a
dungeon, so it must not be rolled for them. Only the Proving Grounds leaves
`arena` empty — it exists to reach *a* fight fast, and runs there last a couple
of minutes, so the one you want is one re-entry away.
The Proving Grounds is a **test harness you can walk into**: same generator,
same rooms, same enemies, but everything dies far faster and drops far more. A
manual pass over loot, the inventory, dropping and all four boss phases takes a
couple of minutes instead of a quarter of an hour, and because it is a portal
rather than a launch flag you can compare it to a real run without restarting
the server.
Adding a dungeon is one entry in `Dungeons.ORDER` plus one more `P` marker in
the lobby stamp — the Nth marker, in reading order, opens the Nth entry, so the
two have to stay in the same order.
Two more things worth knowing:
- **It is multipliers over the shared content, not a copy of it.** A duplicated
`Content` would drift the moment anything was tuned, and "identical but
easier" would quietly stop being true.
- **Which dungeon you enter comes from where you stand.** `SimWorld.portal_at()`
resolves the server-side position; the `PORTAL_USED` event carries the answer.
No client message names a dungeon, which is what stops anyone picking the
generous loot table from a real run. `accepts_new_party_member` compares
dungeon ids too, so walking into one entrance can never drop you into
another's forming run on timing alone.

Damage is currently the constant `SimConfig.PLAYER_BULLET_DAMAGE`; upgrades turn
it into a per-player computed stat, so `SimWorld._fire_player_shot` grows a
stats block. Several upgrades (split, spread, doubleshot) change how many
bullets spawn per shot, so they belong in the same place.

### Still open in this area
- **The local identity provider is insecure by design.** Any client can claim
any account id. Fine for a LAN; must be replaced before the game is reachable
from the internet. Swapping in Steam is one `AuthProvider` subclass and no
schema change.
- `--account` and `--store` exist so several clients and test runs can coexist
on one machine. A real provider makes `--account` unnecessary.

### The decisions worth knowing before touching this
**Item actions ride the input frame; they are not new messages.** `InputFrame`
gained `BTN_USE`, `BTN_DROP` and a slot byte. That buys the redundancy that
covers a dropped packet, the replay guard on `last_input_tick`, ordering against
movement on the same tick, and a natural rate limit of one action per tick — all
of which a separate reliable RPC would have needed bolted back on.
**Item actions are edge-triggered; movement and fire are not.** The client
repeats its last few frames every tick and a starved server coasts on the last
one it was given, so a level-triggered read empties the whole inventory in four
ticks. `SimPlayer.prev_buttons` and `prev_slot` hold the edge, and the *slot* is
part of it — tapping 2 while 1 is held is a second, distinct action.
**Instanced loot is enforced on the wire, not in the client.** A peer is never
told another player's copy exists. That makes it an interest-management rule of
the same kind as `ACTOR_INTEREST_RADIUS`, and it is why the ration is worth
having: every boss kill exercises the path.
**Anything dropped becomes world-shared, even if it arrived instanced.** That is
what makes dropping worth having — a trophy you do not want should be able to
reach someone who does.
**A potion at full health is refused rather than spent.** Nobody drinks one on
purpose at full health, so a mistimed keypress must not do it for them.
**A full bag leaves the item on the floor** and does not block the portal, which
shares the interact key.
### Known gaps
- **Nothing sells items.** Loot only comes from kills; the hub has no source.
The Stage 4 upgrade NPC is the natural place, and is the reason this is a gap
rather than a decision.
- **No stacking.** Four potions take four slots. A count byte per slot is cheap
to add; nothing needed it yet, so the wire, the save record and the HUD all
stayed simpler for not having one.
- **Ground loot never expires**, it is only capped at
`SimConfig.MAX_LOOT_PER_INSTANCE` per world, oldest evicted. Dungeons close
and take their litter with them; only the hub can realistically reach the cap.
- **The ration draws as a gold flask.** The tileset has no food sprite. See
[ASSETS.md](ASSETS.md).

## Stage 4 — Inventory and loot · *todo*
## The scale of health and damage
| Feature | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| Small always-on-screen inventory | Slot count unspecified. |
| Health potions: rare from trash, guaranteed from bosses | |
| World-shared loot | Player-instanced loot planned later. |
| A unique, useless food item from bosses | Exists specifically to test player-instanced loot. Confirm whether it should be instanced *now* or just marked for it. |
| Dropping items so others can pick them up | |
Health and damage are an order of magnitude larger than they started. A shot is
60, a fresh character has 1000, the Warden has 36000. **Every ratio is
unchanged** — enemy health, boss health and every emitter's damage were scaled
together, so time to kill is exactly what it was.
The reason is rounding. At the old base of 6 damage, the +5% every upgrade
carries computed to 6.3 and rounded straight back to 6, so a player's first
upgrade visibly did nothing. At 60 it is +3, and every percentage in the game
now has somewhere to land.
`tests/unit/test_content.gd` pins both halves of that: that a single upgrade
changes damage, and that shots-to-kill for each enemy is what it was before.
Do not tidy these numbers back down without scaling `content.gd` with them.
The hub's practice dummy stopped relying on a huge health pool at the same
time: it is `indestructible` by flag now. The old 100000 was already past the
u16 the snapshot sends enemy health in, and after the rescale a patient player
could have destroyed the hub's only practice target for everyone.

### The seven upgrades
| Upgrade | Rarity | Effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Split Shot | common | On hitting something, two more of the same shot leave it at ±45°. One charge each; stacks. |
| Glass Cannon | common | +100% damage, ×0.5 levelled max health. |
| Spread | common | +2 shots in a cone, 10% damage. |
| Sniper | common | ×2 damage (multiplicative), ×0.5 fire rate, ×2 bullet speed. |
| Doubleshot | uncommon | +1 parallel shot, 50% damage. |
| Poison | rare | Each hit deals another 50% of its damage over 10s. Doses stack independently. |
| Eraser | legendary | 1% chance per tick to delete an enemy projectile a shot is passing through. |
Draw weights: common 100, uncommon 45, rare 18, legendary 4.
### The decisions behind the numbers
All four settled with the user; the reasoning is in
[DECISIONS.md](DECISIONS.md).
- **Damage is `base × (1 + Σ additive) × Π multiplicative`.** The flat +5% every
upgrade carries, Spread's 10%, Doubleshot's 50% and Glass Cannon's +100%
pool additively; Sniper multiplies the result, which is why two Snipers is 4×
and not +200%.
- **Glass Cannon halves the LEVELLED maximum**, so the price does not fade to a
rounding error by level 15. Taken twice it multiplies again.
- **Poison doses are independent**, not refreshed. `PoisonTrack` makes that free:
every dose lasts the same number of ticks, so they expire in insertion order,
the pending expiries are a plain FIFO, and the per-tick cost is O(1) however
many are live.
- **Split Shot's children leave at ±45° from the original heading**, born just
past the target so they cannot be resolved against it again on the same tick.
### Constraints this collided with, and what it cost
- **Bullet speed now has a ceiling** (`SimConfig.MAX_BULLET_SPEED`, 1500 u/s).
Wall collision samples once per tick, so anything over one tile per tick
(1920 u/s) tunnels. Two Snipers would have asked for 2480.
- **`BULLET_INTEREST_RADIUS` rose to 2900**, because an upgraded player shot is
now the longest-travelling bullet in the game. `test_interest.gd` measures the
worst case from the ceiling rather than from static content, which is what it
used to do and what upgrades quietly invalidated.
- **Poison ticks do not emit `ENEMY_HIT`.** They land many times a second on a
reliable channel; the client learns hp from the snapshot. Death is still
announced, because the experience award is keyed on it.
- **The eraser's bullet-vs-bullet scan costs nothing until someone owns it** —
it runs only for shots carrying a non-zero chance.
### Known gaps
- **One panel, not two screens.** The brief asked for a separate screen listing
upgrades taken; it is the lower half of the choice panel instead, because the
two are read together.
- **No respec, and no way to see another player's build.**

### Boss movement
Movement is a property of the **phase**, not of the boss: a fight that stands
still and then starts hunting you is one boss with two phases. Four modes —
`STATIC`, `ORBIT`, `CHASE`, `WAYPOINTS` — all handled generically in
`SimWorld._move_boss`, so adding a boss that moves is still writing data.
- **Waypoints are fractions of the arena**, not absolute positions, so one phase
works in the Warden's hall and the Choir Vault alike.
- **CHASE holds a distance rather than closing.** A boss standing on top of you
is a boss whose bullets cannot be read.
- **Every mode is speed-clamped in one place.** `ORBIT` computes an absolute
destination and would otherwise snap onto its circle on the first tick.
- **Movement slides against geometry**, so a boss cannot walk through the
pillars its own arena was designed around.
- **The room clamp is now load-bearing.** It was a no-op while every boss stood
still — which is exactly when an invariant is cheapest to establish. Boss
rooms deliberately do not lock, and that is only an escape if the boss cannot
follow you out.
### Telegraphed strikes
`TelegraphedStrikeEmitter` marks spots in the arena and fills them a moment
later. The moment in between is the whole feature: a burst that appears at your
feet is a coin flip, the same burst with a second of notice is a question.
- **The emitter is stateless**, like every other one — they are shared resources
and two bosses of the same kind must not stomp each other. Strike positions
are *derived* from the volley number, so the announcement and the strike
compute the same points with nothing stored between them.
- **`EmitContext` gained an `events` list**, the only thing an emitter can do
besides spawn bullets.
- **Markers are drawn through fog and through walls.** Everything else in the
view respects line of sight; a warning you cannot see is not a warning. See
`WorldView._draw_telegraphs`.
### The Cantor of the Vault
| Phase | Movement | Idea |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Call to Prayer | static | Teaches the marker, and nothing else. |
| Processional | waypoints, four corners | The safe half of the room keeps moving. |
| Antiphon | chase at 220u | It comes for you; walls punish running straight. |
| Final Cadence | orbit | Movement and telegraphs at once. |
**The Cantor has its own portal in the hub.** Which boss a run ends with follows
from the arena its dungeon names, not from the seed and certainly not from
`--depth`, which nothing in play raises.
`test_every_boss_has_a_dungeon_that_reaches_it` pins that adding a boss without
giving it a way in is a failing test rather than a boss nobody meets.
`Content.ALL_ENEMIES` / `ALL_BOSSES` exist because five places were
hand-maintaining their own copy of the content list, and `tools/export_content.gd`
had already gone stale and silently stopped writing the second boss.
### Known gaps
- **Nothing tests how the fight *looks*.** The boss was drawn straight from the
newest snapshot with no interpolation — a visible step at 20 Hz — and every
test passed for as long as bosses stood still. There is still no automated
check that a moving actor renders smoothly; the ones added cover the
interpolation call, not the impression.
- **No boss-specific music, intro or death sequence.** A boss dies like an
enemy, only louder.
- **Telegraph markers are one shape.** A circle is the only warning the client
can draw; a lane or a cone would need another event field.
- **`Rooms` has two arenas.** A third boss needs a third stamp, which is where
the generator's "boss arena on the right-hand side" assumption will be tested.

3. **Is there a currency?** Nothing drops money and nothing costs anything. A
shop needs one; so does any reward for a cleared run beyond experience.
4. **Should items stack?** Four potions currently take four slots, which makes a
four-slot bag small. Stacking is a count byte per slot plus a rule for
splitting one — neither is hard, and both change the UI.
5. **Does a dungeon ever get harder within a run?** Enemies are placed once at
generation and never reinforce. That is a deliberate decision
([DECISIONS.md](DECISIONS.md#world)), but it means a slow party is never
punished for it.
6. **What happens to a party when one member dies?** Permadeath removes them to
the roster screen while the run continues without them. Nobody has said
whether that is right.

The honest recommendation: **start with the headless CLI loop, add the MCP when
scene inspection becomes the bottleneck.** It is one command to add later.
## Verification traps, learned the hard way
Every entry below cost at least one round trip of reporting something as fixed
when it was not. They are specific to this setup, and they generalise.
### Verify the behaviour, not the artefact you produced
Bullet sprites were reported fixed three times before they were. Each time the
*atlas* was checked and found correct. The actual fault was one layer down: a
`MultiMeshInstance2D` cannot display a sub-region of a texture, so the renderer
was structurally incapable of showing one cell no matter what the atlas held.
Checking the input to a broken stage will confirm the input forever.
Ask what the *player* would see, and find a way to check that.
### An ASCII dump only proves what you dumped
The same sprites were "verified" by rendering their alpha channel. The pack
animates as a colour shimmer over a fixed silhouette, so identical-looking
frames proved nothing at all. The check was real; it was measuring the wrong
channel.
### Measure the configuration that has the bug
The client-prediction gap was measured at 0.1px on a listen server and reported
fixed. A listen server runs both halves in one process on one physics tick, so
the quantity that had drifted — two independent clocks — was constant *by
construction*. The bug needed two processes to exist at all.
If a bug is described as appearing "after a while", ask what accumulates, and
make sure your harness lets it accumulate.
### Have the test tell you the setup was valid
`test_firing_is_reported_even_when_the_bullet_dies_instantly` asserts that no
`BULLET_SPAWN` event occurred, purely to prove the interesting condition was
actually reached. The first version placed a turret as the victim — and turrets
shoot, so the assertion passed on the turret's own bullets while testing
nothing. A setup check inside the test caught it.
### `git checkout` to clean up a probe reverts real work too
A one-file revert to remove a temporary debug hook also discarded a fix made to
the same file earlier in the session, and it had already been verified and
reported. Only `git status` showing the file *missing* from the staged set
caught it. Prefer editing the probe back out, or stash.
### A pattern-based edit can match twice
A `replace()` intended for the snapshot decoder also matched inside the
character decoder, which then read a field its encoder never wrote. Both are
codecs and both had the same trailing lines. Check the match count when patching
by pattern, not by line.

### A green suite is not a quiet one
`tools/test.sh` and `tools/smoke.sh` both passed while a client logged twelve
engine errors at every startup. `ConfigFile.get_value(section, key, null)` does
not mean "no default" — it means the key is absent *and* no default was given,
so the engine logs an error for each one. Nothing caught it because the smoke
test's refutations matched `SCRIPT ERROR|Parse Error|USER ERROR`, and a plain
`ERROR:` is none of those.
It surfaced from actually running the client (`--listen --autoquit`) and reading
the output, which is worth doing after any change to startup.
`smoke.sh` now asserts no plain engine errors either, excluding by name the one
line Godot prints on every clean exit — naming it means anything else that turns
up is a real finding rather than noise to be squinted past.
### Nothing automated can see the screen
Every gate passed — 458 tests, a clean smoke run, no engine errors — while the
entire interface rendered in Godot's default style and none of the UI pack was
visible. A Control inherits its theme from Control *ancestors only*, and the
chain breaks at the first plain `Node` or `CanvasLayer`; every screen in this
game hangs off one. `get_window().theme = ...` set the property, changed
nothing, and looked correct in the code.
It took `tools/screenshot.tscn` — boot the client, save a PNG, open it — to
find. The same run then showed **Fire bound to the right mouse button**, which
was the test suite writing the player's real `user://settings.cfg`, because
rebinding calls `save()` and nothing had redirected the path.
Styling the rest of the interface then produced two more of exactly the same
shape: an invisible slider track and an invisible scrollbar. Both resolved the
right stylebox, reported the right texture, and drew nothing, because a
`Slider` and a `ScrollBar` take their thickness from the stylebox's *minimum
size* — its content margins — and mine were zero. Neither was findable without
looking.
Three lessons, and the last is the general one:
- After touching `src/ui/`, look at it. There is no substitute.
- When a control resolves the right theme item and still looks wrong, check
what Godot derives from that item's *size* rather than its picture.
- A test that exercises a code path which writes to user state **will write to
user state**. Redirect the path in the fixture, and assert the default is
still the real one so the redirect cannot escape.
