 ## Not freeze-framed (operator eyeball on next playtest — trivial with real input)
 - **Node shrink/pop VISUAL** — `NodeFeedbackSystem` ran clean against the 2 nodes but the run-timing never let me catch the shrink on-screen. **One risk to confirm:** the shrink uses `PostTransformMatrix` on the node **root** — this scales the mesh only if the mesh is on the root or on *parented* children. If a node's mesh is an unparented render child, scale the children instead (cheap fix).

 ## Next-session intent
 Operator playtests the expedition: confirm (1) no stuck stragglers across a few rooms, (2) markers read well / not cluttered, (3) node shrink+pop visible on harvest, (4) tune knobs (`FeelConfig.EnemyMarker*`, `WorldFeelConfig.Node*`/`Chip*`, backstop consts in `EnemyAISystem`). Then bank as a DR if the design sticks.

+# 2026-07-07 (session B) — Phase 1.5 stabilize: harvest feedback was dead — a swallowed attribute
+
+**Driver:** `/dots-dev` (Small track — client-only static config, no wire/bake change). Operator playtest reported the
+harvest hit-effects "don't seem to be working"; this session also landed the roadmap restructure (Phase 1 gate verdict
+→ Phase 1.5 World Alive + boons pulled to 1.7, committed `d966813a3`).
+
+## Root cause — NOT the pre-flagged PTM risk
+
+The 07-07 session-A log suspected the `PostTransformMatrix`-on-ghost-ROOT shrink wouldn't reach an unparented render
+child. **Live inspection disproved that**: a server-spawned `ResourceNode` ghost (RegionTag overridden to Base so
+relevancy kept it near the player) showed the `Model` child properly `Parent`ed (LT.scale 2.2, MMI on child, root
+mesh-less), and once enabled the propagation was *exact* — root PTM 0.892 → child LTW 1.962 = 2.2 × 0.892.
+
+The real bug: **the 07-07 "Node* knobs" edit to `WorldFeelConfig.cs` swallowed the
+`[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.SubsystemRegistration)]` attribute** above
+`ResetDefaults()` (the diff in commit `cc2e7ad95` shows the attribute+signature lines replaced by the knob block
+ending in a zero-indent bare signature). Nothing else calls `ResetDefaults` → every field stayed C# default:
+`Enabled=false`, `ChipBurstCount=0`, SFX 0 → **the entire world-feedback slice silently dead** — node shrink/pop,
+chip particles, harvest SFX, camera micro-punch. Matches the operator report exactly ("hit effects + some other
+stuff"). Second occurrence of the *edit-swallows-adjacent-line* class in two days (07-06 `_portalMat`
+comment-swallow NRE).
+
+## Diagnosis harness (reusable)
+
+1. Play; server `execute_code`: find the node prefab (`ResourceNode` + `Prefab`, `IncludePrefab`), `Instantiate`,
+   `baked.WithPosition(playerPos + offset)`, **`RegionTag{Region=0}`** so region relevancy doesn't cull it at base.
+2. Client dump: LEG per-entity `Parent`/`LocalTransform`/`PostTransformMatrix`/`MaterialMeshInfo` + LTW scale.
+3. Simulated hits = server-side `Remaining -=` writes (replicates; no player positioning needed); numeric check =
+   `lerp(NodeMinScale, 1, Remaining/Max)` vs root PTM vs child LTW; screenshot via `ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot`
+   in `execute_code` (async — read the PNG on the next MCP round-trip; never the pausing bridge capture).
+
+## Fix + validation
+
+- One edit: restored the attribute on `WorldFeelConfig.ResetDefaults` (`apply_text_edits` + precondition SHA).
+- **L1** console clean (baseline warnings only). **L2** EditMode **455/455**. **L3** fresh Play with NO manual poke:
+  `Enabled=True ChipBurstCount=12 NodeMinScale=0.35` purely from the attribute; end-to-end on a fresh spawned node —
+  server 30→20, client root PTM **0.783** (= lerp(0.35,1,20/30) exact), child LTW **1.723** (= 2.2×0.783), node
+  visibly shrunken on-screen (`scratchpad/node_shrink_fixed.png`).
+
+## Lessons
+
+- **An MCP text edit can swallow an adjacent attribute/comment line** — after editing next to an attributed method,
+  re-read the surrounding lines (now a CLAUDE.md gotcha; 2 shipped bugs in 2 days from this class).
+- **When a whole presentation slice goes silent, probe its static config's `Enabled` in-play first** — one
+  `execute_code` read beats structural theorizing (the PTM hypothesis was plausible and wrong).
+- The [[mcp-screenshot-step-pause-bug]] + no-sleep-poll rules held: hits were injected server-side and read on
+  subsequent round-trips; no pauses, no freezes.
+
+## Next-session intent
+
+Operator playtest confirms harvest feel on real nodes (knobs: `WorldFeelConfig.Node*`/`Chip*`), then the
+**collision-precision live repro** (Phase 1.5 stabilize #2) — scope whether "imprecise collisions" means environment
+collision, body-blocking, or melee/projectile hit-reg before touching any system. Then the lighting/atmosphere pass.
