Session log gains Part 3: the operator picked "drop" on the hold fork, and both
halves of the camera fix landed. Records the measurement that forced the second
half — dropping the hold ALONE was worse (max deviation 0.653 vs 0.447) because the
hold had been masking the shake-integration bug — plus the before/after table and
the PixelArtDevControls opt-in.
Gotchas archive gains four more entries: never let a transient offset live in the
value your smoothing filter reads back; a frame-counted hold is a framerate-
dependent freeze; a masking fix can make the metric worse before better, so
re-measure the intermediate state; HideFlags.DontSave objects survive play-mode
exit and leak one per domain reload.
CLAUDE.md gains a Camera-feel ★ line, paid for by trimming the MCP-edit, swept-hit,
LANTERN-direction, harvest, bootstrap and presentation bullets. Now 39936 bytes —
exactly the >=1 KB headroom target.

Session log for the "freezes on a kill" diagnosis (the cause is the camera, not
CPU: shake is integrated by the follow filter, the hold is frame-counted, and the
hit + kill packages stack on the lethal frame) and for the Track B allocation work
the operator selected.
Gotchas archive gains nine dated entries, incl. two that changed how the work was
ranked: GC.GetTotalMemory quantises to 4 KB and is useless for allocation
attribution (use ProfilerRecorder), and an editor-only IMGUI dev tool self-spawns
into Game.unity and dominated every editor-side measurement.
CLAUDE.md: one new pooling/per-frame-cost line, paid for under the net-zero rule by
dropping the DR-051 build-palette text (that code died with the purge), the two
purge enumerations now carried by their DRs, and a duplicated ACES clause.
40183 bytes, under the 40960 budget.

CLAUDE.md — it is loaded every session, so its errors cost the most:
- M13: it still said "No world code until the world-model spike passes
its design review" while DR-049 has been `accepted` since 07-13 and the
roadmap says PASSED. A hard contradiction between the two authority
docs, with CLAUDE.md winning by being always-loaded — plausibly part of
why Phase 2 never started. Now points at the build spec, warns it needs
re-anchoring, and links the parked engine fork.
- Records the H2 hazard as a rule: a socket whose SparkId is missing from
the baked AbilityDatabase silently reads Damage/Range/Cooldown 0.
- L12: the asmdef table was stale on all four rows; also notes the fifth
compilation unit (Scripts/Editor has no asmdef) and that tests now
reference Authoring.
- M19: per-machine setup — the machine-loss recovery checklist — was
missing Blender + blendermcp (which the committed /art-dev skill
hard-requires) and ctx7, and claimed a ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR} in
.mcp.json that isn't there.
- Structures / harvest / persistence / BefourStudios bullets rewritten:
they described deleted subsystems.
- Net-zero rule honoured: the additions pushed it to 41,057 (over the
40,960 hard limit), so two long art-pipeline bullets moved verbatim to
the gotchas archive under a dated heading. 39,661 now — inside the
file's own 39,936 soft ceiling.
- M14: DR-053 files the Bevy fork as PARKED. The guide was reachable from
NOTHING — one file, zero inbound links, and its gating instruction
lived only in machine-local memory, which CLAUDE.md explicitly forbids
as a sole home. It now has a committed home and inbound links.
- DR-054 records this purge, including the three files that were in the
delete set until their consumers were checked and turned out to be
load-bearing.
- M15: 13 superseded DRs re-statused with `superseded_by`. Only DR-002
carried the field before, though the project's own template prescribes
it.
- M19: Home.md stated three wrong facts (latest DR, latest session, date)
— refreshed. Pillars.md and Systems_Index.md now carry warning banners:
both assert things the purges falsified, and Systems_Index still claims
to be "the accurate map of what exists in code today".
- L11: the 4 genuinely-broken wikilinks fixed (typo'd DR filenames). Zero
broken vault-internal links now.
- Session log written — the last three commits before today had none,
breaking the protocol's own bookend rule.

The 13 vault notes were left dirty by basic-memory back-filling
title/type/permalink frontmatter into files written with Write/Edit
(it also strips the trailing newline — restored here so future diffs
stay clean). Content is unchanged; verified frontmatter-only.
packages-lock.json is the com.coplaydev.unity-mcp #main branch ref
silently re-resolving. Pinning that dependency lands with the package
cleanup batch.

Session log for the 07-24 character work. Adds cookbook 14-E: the per-instance _BaseColor override
gotcha (hit-flash sets URPMaterialPropertyBaseColor=(1,1,1) on player/enemy render children, replacing
the material _BaseColor -> flat null-map materials render cream; color via a solid _BaseColorMap texture).
Corrects the older 'clear the map -> uses _BaseColor' note.

Session 2026-07-15: the 5-Spark systems, content, and enemy-test-gym CODE done
(497 EditMode green); the fresh Gym.unity scene assembly + the L3 feel gate remain.
Roadmap Phase-1 status updated. Reusable gotchas banked (reel via re-aimed
KnockbackState; GymTag bypasses the meta spawn guard; manage_scriptable_object
target-object quirk).

New /art-dev skill (SKILL.md + blender-cookbook + style-and-practices refs)
driving LANTERN Blender art work: Auto (headless) for simple changes, the
hybrid nudge-and-bake loop for precision/aesthetics, game-camera verification,
Blender-beginner coaching. Session log covers the A0 style-proof asset set +
the Bathynaut refinement.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Records the A0 material foundation + Phase 1 Group A implementation (steps 1/1b/2/2.5:
socket data model, per-socket stats, AbilityFireSystem restructure + SpawnId repack, feel-layer
migration), 494 green, the editor-focus correction, and the deferrals (L3 gate, AbilityRef
cleanup, Group B content).

Bundle 4 (critters + weather beats) shipped; all four World-Alive-II bundles
done. Next = the operator's Phase 1.5 gate lap.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Blight geyser (bundle 3) shipped review-first. Records the design-review fold
(2 HIGH: no edge-detect on the replicated tick; invert the invalid-guard for a
baked scheduled-tick so a born-0 can't storm) and the new CLAUDE.md tick-sentinel
corollary for baked [GhostField] scheduled-ticks.

Bundle 2 (decals): explosion scorch pool, cover damage-cracks, room-arena
scars — all procedural, client-only, zero netcode. Records the pivotal
finding that a stock Synty prop shadergraph's _BaseColor is Unity-Per-Material
(not Hybrid-Per-Instance), so URPMaterialPropertyBaseColor darkening silently
no-ops on cover — the fork to decal quads.
