The 2026-08-06 audit found the shipping scene was still the abandoned
co-op-Hades game with LANTERN combat bolted on, and that a third of the
codebase was live code for a direction abandoned on 2026-07-13. Operator
chose deletion over freezing: "everything is saved in source control if
needed. I want the project to be clean."
DELETED (~140 source files, Scripts 335->231, Tests 77->43):
- Enemy variants + boss (H3). ChargerAuthoring / SpitterAuthoring /
SwarmerAuthoring were attached to ZERO prefabs, so LungeState /
SpitterState / SwarmerTag were never baked: ~272 lines of Bursted AI
passes, BossAISystem (261 lines) and the whole MixBands escalation
curve could not match a single chunk at runtime, while 734 lines of
green tests certified them. Both shipping enemy prefabs were already
byte-identical in stats.
- Run/room lifecycle: RunDirector FSM, RunInfo/RunMap/RoomPlan/RoomTag,
route select, portal interact, ready-check, room field/teardown.
- Meta shop, prep loadout, boons (incl. KillRewardSystem and
DashTrailDamageSystem, which existed only to serve boon flags).
- Build palette + structures, shared storage, inventory/equipment
(already recorded PAUSED in CLAUDE.md).
- The HUD panels driving all of the above (HudSystem 1168 -> 610).
KEPT deliberately: BaseGridMath + BaseAnchor (8 systems use PlotCenter
for spawn rings, respawn and dynamic light), the resource ledger +
StorageMath, the save system, region/relevancy. Three of these were in
the delete set until I checked their consumers — worth remembering that
the file-level manifest was wrong about them.
Also folds in audit finding M5: PlayerClass was a second, server-only
copy of the byte FrameId already replicates. It existed for the meta
shop; with that gone, FrameId is the single frame identity.
Harvest is now single-sink (ledger). HarvestMath keeps its shape so
LANTERN's carried-vs-banked cargo split lands in one place, not two.
295/295 EditMode green, zero compile errors. Subscene re-bake and Play
validation follow in the next commit.

- PostFX_Lantern.asset: the ONE shared grade (ACES, bloom 0.6 cool-tinted for the
HDR gloam, vignette 0.28, faint teal filter) applied to Game, DevSandbox, and
ArtStaging; PostFX_DarkSciFi / PostFX_Daylight / Sky_DaytimeProcedural deleted.
- Env_SeabedKit.prefab: ArtStaging's environment (seabed, flora, rocks, marine
snow, caustics, warm pool, gloam fill, key light, StagingAmbiance animator)
prefab-ized and placed in Game + DevSandbox; ArtStaging connected to it.
- Scene surgery: old DevSandbox.unity deleted; Gym.unity RENAMED DevSandbox.unity
(GUID preserved -> GymSub wiring + the F1/F2 dev scripts that gate on the
'DevSandbox' name come back to life). SyntyWorld root deleted from DevSandbox;
BaseBiome/ExpeditionBiome/Slot1 deleted from Game.
- RenderSettings unified: no skybox, Exp2 teal fog {0.02,0.10,0.12} @ 0.035, flat
near-black ambient {0.03,0.055,0.08}; camera clearFlags -> solid deep-water.
- ScenePolicy.IsGameplayScene() replaces the six scene.name=="Game" string gates
(Game + DevSandbox share the dynamic look; menu/ArtStaging untouched).
- WorldAtmosphereSystem rewritten as water-column murk (LANTERN defaults; biome
variants re-meant to kelp/trench/gloam-bloom; Ground_Arid tint block deleted).
390 green; Play-verified in Game: murk values live, warm-vs-cold reads, no errors.

Phase 1.5b ground bundle (operator: "the ground is very plain"):
- Ground materials rebuilt: Grass/Sand base maps at real tiling (22x/26x, was a
2x smear across 90-130u) + Synty normal maps + a generated 0.5-centered macro
noise detail texture (LINEAR import — sRGB detail mul2x darkens 2.3x) with
baked rim vignette. Meadow ground moved OFF the shared Synty asset onto
project-owned Mat_Ground_Meadow.
- WorldAtmosphereSystem: per-room-biome ground tint on the expedition quads via
MaterialPropertyBlock (Meadow green / Cavern blue / Blight purple; Arid sand
default), lerped alongside the existing fog/ambient palettes.
- RoomDressingSystem + RoomDressingConfig (new, client-only observe-only):
26 biome-flavoured cosmetic props per room, scattered inside the room's ACTUAL
shape (same RoomLayoutMath authority as the server, distinct 0xD2E55 hash
stream), deterministic from the replicated run seed, torn down with the room,
colliders stripped. 47 curated prefab refs wired in Game.unity (build-safe).
- Base: 357 curated flora props re-enabled (bushes/wildflowers/grass clumps;
buildings/pond/FX stay parked) + generated worn-dirt paths storage->warpgate
and storage->base gate.
Live-verified: dressing 26/26 inside x[981,1023] z[-11,12] y=0, 11 varieties,
0 colliders; teardown on run end; Meadow tint converged to exact target; 470
EditMode green; console clean.

Dark-ambient, dynamic-light-first look (RoR2/Death Scourges reference),
built filter-agnostic so the pixel style composes on top:
- New DynamicLightSystem (client-only, PresentationSystemGroup): pooled
point lights follow projectile ghosts; pulsing portal light during
RoomExplore (same ExpeditionPortalPos authority as the beacon); soft
resource-node glow that fades with harvest-shrink; short impact
FLASHES fed by CombatFeedbackSystem's burst funnel (EmitColored +
SpawnVfx -> RequestFlash). Knobs in DynamicLightConfig (scene object,
code defaults when absent).
- Atmosphere darkened: WorldAtmosphereConfig/System palettes moved to
the dark set (base cool dusk, arid burnt dusk, per-room biome consts
darkened); scene fog switched Linear -> ExponentialSquared (the
system's per-region DENSITY writes were dead in Linear mode);
trilight ambient lowered; directional 1.9 -> 1.05 slightly warm.
- 6 landmark mood lights (warpgate cyan, artefact violet x2, survey
camp warm x2, cabin warm); URP additional-lights-per-object 4 -> 8
(was starving the existing Aether lights).
- Art-look gate material: Assets/Screenshots/artlook_{base,room}_
pixel{ON,OFF}.png over the lit scene.
Verified: lights live in Play (20 static at base incl. new landmarks;
pooled dynamics active in-room: node glows + impact flashes), fog/
ambient values confirmed live, 466/466 EditMode, console clean.

Replace the sci-fi-colony dressing with two cosmetic classic-URP biomes in Game.unity: a lush Meadow_Forest base sanctuary (origin) and a hostile Arid_Desert survey expedition (+1000) - ~380 collider-stripped instances, warpgate/outpost landmarks, cyan/orange Aether accent lights. Warm daylight sun + Trilight ambient + a procedural daytime skybox + a cloned daylight post-FX grade (ACES kept). New client-only WorldAtmosphereSystem(+Config) cross-fades per-region fog/ambient by camera X>500 (mirrors HudSystem). Cosmetic-only - colliders stripped, never the subscene - so zero sim/netcode/PhysicsWorld impact (adversarially verified). Shadow-casting disabled on small foliage. EditMode 214/214. See DR-025.
