| # | Fork | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | **Damage at contact tick** (G2.1) — light melee gains ~0.2 s real windup | DO — it's the honest heavy-weapon model; feel-test behind a knob | ☐ operator |
| 2 | **Reach retune** (G2.2) — `MeleeRange` 2.6→2.2, finisher reach ×1.5→×1.25 | DO with #1 as one package | ☐ operator |
| 3 | **Weapon scale ×1.25 + tip trail** (G2.3) | DO — cheapest honesty win | ☐ operator |
| 4 | Victim-vibrate + finisher hold ladder (G5) | DO — pure presentation | ☐ operator |
| 5 | Input buffer 6–10t (G7) — a small predicted-sim change | DO after #1 lands (same system) | ☐ operator |
| 6 | Class cancel policies (G7) — Bathynaut commit / Harpooner crisp | Ratify as design law | ☐ operator |
| 1 | **Damage at contact tick** (G2.1) — light melee gains ~0.2 s real windup | DO — it's the honest heavy-weapon model; feel-test behind a knob | ✅ SHIPPED 07-20 (`MeleeCleavePending` schedule-and-consume; knob `MeleeContactTicks`, 0 = legacy) |
| 2 | **Reach retune** (G2.2) — `MeleeRange` 2.6→2.2, finisher reach ×1.5→×1.25 | DO with #1 as one package | ✅ SHIPPED 07-20 (`MeleeFinisherRangeMult` knob 30) |
| 3 | **Weapon scale ×1.25 + tip trail** (G2.3) | DO — cheapest honesty win | ✅ SHIPPED 07-20 (axe ×1.25; blade-smear ribbon; arc reveal ends AT contact) |
| 4 | Victim-vibrate + finisher hold ladder (G5) | DO — pure presentation | ✅ hold ladder SHIPPED (`FinisherHoldFrames`); **vibrate CUT** — Rukhanka folds the render child's inverse transform into skinning, an offset is a no-op (review C8); follow-up = additive anim layer |
| 5 | Input buffer 6–10t (G7) — a small predicted-sim change | DO after #1 lands (same system) | ✅ SHIPPED 07-20 (`BufferedAttackTick` GhostField; unlock-edge validity, batch-slack 4) |
| 6 | Class cancel policies (G7) — Bathynaut commit / Harpooner crisp | Ratify as design law | ✅ LAW + Bathynaut side SHIPPED (dash refused pre-contact); Harpooner side lands with the Harpooner |
| 7 | Hades frame-count follow-up session (fill the research gap) | Optional, low priority | ☐ operator |

*Checklist for any new attack/ability (the doc in one box):* declare G1 ticks → G2 volume==visual==timing →
G3 color → G4 loudness tier → G5 impact tier → G6 cast grammar → G7 buffer/cancel policy → (enemy) G8 decal+pose.
