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.

Operator: base flora too dense + "the waving/shader doesn't look great".
Diagnosis: EVERY Synty flora prop (both biomes) uses the Synty/Foliage
VERTEX-wind shader — the transform root-tilt sway has been double-animating
all flora since 1.5, and ground-flush carpet props (Flowers_Flat,
Grass_*_Plane) visibly lift their edges when tilted.
- AmbientMotionConfig.SwayEnabled -> false (code default + the serialized
scene value): idle motion = the authored per-vertex shader wind (tips bend,
bases planted). Knob kept for A/B; walk-through RUSTLE stays as the
reactive layer the shader can't provide.
- AmbientMotionSystem: flat carpet props excluded from the flora cache
entirely — no tilt even from rustle.
- Flower density thinned deterministically: Flowers_Flat keep 40%,
Wildflowers/Sunflowers keep 50%, center (r<13) thinned harder (x0.6) —
17/38 drifts off; play/build area reads clear, flowers become ring accents.
Console clean; sway/rustle knobs remain live-tunable in the scene.

Art look LOCKED by the operator from the artlook_* side-by-sides:
clean dark-Synty; PixelOutline._MasterEnabled=0 shipped (feature stays
dev-toggleable via F3; other fullscreen effects remain backlog).
New AmbientMotionSystem (client-only PresentationSystemGroup, the
"world alive" anti-static beat, zero netcode):
- per-biome DRIFT particles from one world-space emitter following the
camera (meadow motes / arid wind-blown dust / cavern motes / blight
spores; palette keys on camera-X region + replicated room biome,
mirroring WorldAtmosphereSystem's switch)
- idle SWAY on the ACTIVE cosmetic flora prop roots near the camera
(LOD children follow the root; probed: none static-batched)
- walk-through RUSTLE: flora brushed by the local player
(GhostOwnerIsLocal idiom) gets a decaying energy shake
Rotations write around a cached base (lossless when toggled off);
knobs in AmbientMotionConfig (scene object, code defaults when absent).
Verified live: drift palettes exact in both regions (meadow
0.62/0.85/0.60 -> arid 0.85/0.68/0.45 on region cross), flora beside
the player rocked (0,0)->(-4.0,+5.0) deg within the rustle+sway
envelope, 466/466 EditMode, console clean. Discovery for follow-up:
the BASE biome's flora props are authored INACTIVE (84 bushes etc.) -
the base has no sway targets until some are re-enabled.
