kronic 6379f5d897 Hygiene B5: split HudSystem + CombatFeedbackSystem god-objects
Extract 7 sibling PresentationSystemGroup systems (client-only, observe-only), faithfully relocating methods+fields so behavior is preserved by construction:
- HudSystem (2129->1588L): BoonModalHudSystem, RouteMapHudSystem, MetaShopHudSystem, ClassPrepPortalHudSystem — each owns its own runtime UIDocument (MenuUi.LoadPanelSettings + own sortingOrder + EnsureEventSystem), the proven EnemyMarkerSystem/OnboardingSystem pattern; no shared root, no new static bridge.
- CombatFeedbackSystem (1300->914L): RoomPortalBeaconSystem, EnemyHealthBarSystem, EnemyDangerTelegraphSystem — each owns its FX-root + mats (via FeedbackFx), self-queries enemies + self-detects its edge (health-bar LastHp; danger _prevWindup), prunes its caches each frame.

Verified: compiles clean (0 errors), 466/466 EditMode tests pass, Play world-creation clean (no ComponentSystemSorter cycle, no OnCreate exception, 0 console errors). NOTE: the final VISUAL smoke (panels appear at the right lifecycle; enemy health bars / danger telegraphs / portal beacon render; buttons live) needs a FOCUSED Play pass — the play-mode transition throttles while Unity is unfocused, so I could not drive live frames headlessly.

kronic 55e98a9275 Hygiene B4b: extract CameraResolver (dedup triplicated ResolveCamera)
The byte-identical ResolveCamera() (Camera.main -> PrototypeCameraRig fallback) in PlayerInputGatherSystem, BuildSendSystem, and AimReticleSystem now call one CameraResolver.Resolve(); camera-resolution policy lives in one place. Behaviour-identical; compiles clean.

kronic 52eda31360 Hygiene B4a: extract shared FeedbackFx (dedup 4 procedural-FX copies)
New FeedbackFx static (MakeClip/MakeParticleMaterial/MakeBurst/PlayClip/EmitTinted/EmitAt); the 3 *FeedbackSystem copies + AmbientAudio.MakeSting now route through it via 'using static'. MakeBurst takes the FX-root + the per-use gravity/radius/sizeTail that were the only diffs between copies; MakeClip folds in noise + decay. Behaviour-identical by construction (every particle/clip param preserved exactly).

459/459 EditMode tests pass; compiles clean. VFX are presentation-only (no EditMode coverage) -> wants a Play-mode smoke to eyeball hit/death/harvest/structure bursts.

kronic d0dcdf36c4 Docs: fix 2 dead-symbol leftovers found by verification round
- CycleDirectorSpawnSystem: drop the dangling <see cref="CyclePhase.ExpeditionTicks"/> (deleted const in B2) -> plain 'initial phase delay'.
- BuildSendSystem: remove the stale '(Conveyor uses s_ConveyorDir for facing)' comment (field + hotkey deleted in B2).

Comment-only; 459/459 EditMode tests pass. Adversarial verification round (2 agents over the full diff) found no behavior regressions and no false-confidence tests.

kronic 7460ab9d1c Docs: hygiene sweep — stale/misattributed doc-comments + CLAUDE.md example
- Repoint CLAUDE.md testing example from the deleted HeartbeatSystemTests to HealthApplyDamageSystemTests.
- Stale deleted-system refs: ResourceFieldSpawner/ClutterFieldSpawner(+Authoring) now cite RoomFieldSystem (was ExpeditionFieldSystem); BuildPlaceRequest drops the deleted RegionTransitRequest from its 'mirrors' list.
- Stale package version: 'Netcode 1.13.2' -> 'Netcode 1.x' in ProjectileClassificationSystem + BuildPlaceRequest.
- WorldCollisionComponents: remove the duplicated EnvironmentMask summary line; FeelConfig: fix the mangled 'is hitmap)' sentence.

Comment/doc only; compiles clean.

kronic ba303e5fd0 Hygiene B3: single-sourcing & magic-number consolidation
- StructureCatalogAuthoring: WallCostOre -> WallCostBiomass (it bakes a Biomass cost; [FormerlySerializedAs] preserves the scene value).
- Harvester/Fabricator authoring: resource-id byte defaults reference ResourceId.Ore/.Charge instead of magic 2/4.
- RegionMath.RegionBoundaryX (= ExpeditionOffsetX*0.5) single-sources the region-flip X used by HudSystem + OnboardingSystem (was 500f in 3 places).
- CharacterComponent.DefaultGroundedSharpness single-sources the CC sharpness 15f (GetDefault, DashSystem, PlayerDeathStateSystem, PlayerCharacterAuthoring).
- InventorySlot [InternalBufferCapacity] references Tuning.InventoryMaxSlots.
- ConnectionMode enum -> byte-const class (project convention; removes the latent enum-in-Burst trap); field + one Seed() param become byte.
- Tuning.ChargerWindupTicks single-sources the Charger telegraph windup (EnemyBaker + TuningConfig.Defaults; was a bare 30 that could drift).
- (TicksPerSecond deliberately NOT added: no seconds->ticks conversion site exists; the tick-count fields are per-authoring designer tunables, so a const would be unreferenced.)

451/451 EditMode tests pass.

kronic 589e712db3 Hygiene B2: dead-code removal
Delete (unreferenced in any scene, per operator decision):
- TrainingDummy* chain (authoring/spawner/system/components/prefab) + UpgradePickup* chain (authoring/spawner/systems/components/prefab); remove TrainingDummyTag from the 3 live combat queries (AbilityFire/Melee/HealthApplyDamage now key on EnemyTag) and repoint HealthApplyDamageSystemTests to EnemyTag.
- Dead RPC RegionTransitSystem + RegionTransitRequest (no sender, ungated) + its test.
- Heartbeat + HeartbeatSystem (no WorldSystemFilter, ran no-op every tick) + its test.
- BuildSendSystem dead conveyor/pylon dev hooks (s_ConveyorDir, [/] rotation, Place{Pylon,Harvester,Conveyor} statics).
- Deprecated CyclePhase alias consts (Expedition/Defend/Build/*Ticks); repoint WaveSystemTests to Siege/Calm.
- Unread FeelConfig fields (HitFlashDurationMs, RumbleHeavy) + dangling HudUi doc-comments + stale crefs.

451/451 EditMode tests pass. CLAUDE.md HeartbeatSystemTests example ref to be repointed in B7.

kronic b1041003f0 Hygiene B0-B1: correctness & latent traps
- Restore swallowed [Test] on EnemyAIMathTests.SlideVelocity_DegenerateNormal_DeflectsToTangent (dead regression guard for the shipped enemy-stuck-on-cover fix; now runs + passes).
- Extract shared HarvestMath.DepositYield used by ResourceHarvestSystem + MeleeComboSystem; fixes melee mining silently ignoring per-item StackMax (it hard-coded DefaultStackMax) and hoists the melee ledger-buffer fetch out of the per-target loop.
- StatMath.Apply switches on the raw byte (case (byte)ModOp.X) instead of casting to the enum inside the Bursted fold — removes the latent cross-assembly enum-in-Burst ICE trap.
- Add [Min] guards on CycleDirectorAuthoring loss-critical ints (CoreIntegrityMax>=1 so a mis-authored 0 can't bake an instant-loss core; siege sizes >=0).

456/456 EditMode tests pass.

kronic eeaf8a4247 Pronounced combat animation: 3-swing sword combo, per-class specials, sword in hand
BLENDER (5 new/re-authored clips, all full-body, mirrored-left-arm axes
FIXED - Synty L shoulders mirror X/twist vs R, verified by axis probes):
- A_Swing_R2L / A_Swing_L2R (0.47s): horizontal slash + backhand with real
  anticipation (torso wound 25 deg), 2-frame strikes, follow-through past
  the target.
- A_Swing_Finisher (0.60s): overhead crash with a crouch drop into impact.
- A_Special_Slam (0.53s): two-handed ground slam - the Warrior cone finally
  LOOKS like a cone attack.
- A_Fire_OneHand re-authored punchier (cock -> full-extension thrust with
  torso commit -> recoil kick).
Export lesson: Blender 4.4 slotted actions - reassigning animation_data.
action does NOT bind the slot; force animation_data.action_slot before
export/render or you bake a stale pose.

CONTROLLER: MeleeSwing (one clip for everything) replaced by Swing1/2/3
keyed on new ComboStep int param (replicated MeleeCombo.Step); Fire gated
!IsCone (Ranger shot), new SpecialSlam state on IsFiring+IsCone (Warrior).

DRIVE SYSTEM: writes ComboStep from the replicated combo step and IsCone
from the replicated AbilityRef -> AbilityDatabase blob archetype (works for
remote teammates too).

SWORD: SM_Wep_Sword_01 (SciFiSpace - same pack/atlas as the soldier) as a
mesh-sub-asset child of Hand_R, grip rot (90,0,0) tuned live against the
running entity. Required RigDefinitionAuthoring boneEntityStrippingMode
Automatic -> None so the hand bone entity exists + is posed (stripped bones
never animate attachments). Play-verified: the energy blade rides the fist.

kronic b7db292987 Blender-authored clips: real death fall, fire thrust, dash lean, hit-react (Phase 1 anim triage)
Four clips authored programmatically in Blender on the PolygonSyntyCharacter
skeleton (full-body keys per pose, numeric world-space verification of the
fall: hips 0.88->0.14m) and exported per-action FBX (Key All Bones, Force
Start/End Keying, FBX Units Scale). Imported as HUMANOID - the project's
pipeline is Human rigs (CharactersAvatar isHuman=true; CLAUDE.md's 'Generic'
note was stale), so muscle-space retargeting plays these on the player AND
every monster rig with zero bone-path matching. CopyFromOther failed on the
Blender-added 'Armature' node (hierarchy mismatch) -> CreateFromThisModel;
root motion fully baked into pose (the CC owns the transform).

- A_Death_FallBack (0.90s = exactly the 54-tick corpse window): recoil ->
  fall -> flat on the back -> settle. Wired as the Death state on BOTH
  controllers, replacing the crouch-idle placeholder.
- A_Fire_OneHand (0.4s): new IsFiring param + Fire state on the player
  controller; PlayerAnimationDriveSystem routes FireActive to it (melee owns
  IsAttacking again).
- A_Dash_Lean (0.33s): new IsDashing param + Dash state; driven from the
  local player's predicted DashState window (not replicated -> remotes skip).
- A_HitReact (0.27s): imported + avatar'd, wiring deferred (needs a
  replicated hit-tick source; body flash covers the read today).

456/456 EditMode; Play-validated: forced IsDead renders the soldier flat on
the ground in-game (Blender->FBX->Humanoid->Rukhanka chain proven), Fire
state enters and plays; console clean.

kronic ea108e48e4 Phase 1 B1/B2/B4-B7: separation, poise, boss lunge, party HP scale, run-failed banner, fire anim
B1 SEPARATION: pairwise soft-collision pass INSIDE EnemyAISystem (sole
enemy-Position writer preserved; O(n^2) fine at MaxAlive<=14). Knocked/
lunging enemies keep committed motion but still push neighbours; the boss is
never pushed; enemies yield a small personal radius around players (below
melee range per review B1-1); displacement goes through the swept move so
nothing shoves through walls. SeparationMaxSpeed = live knob.

B2 POISE: the windup-cancel lived in the knockback CONTINUE branches (grunt/
charger/spitter). Threshold on the EXISTING KnockbackState.Speed channel:
light melee (6) nudges without interrupting; the finisher (10.8) and cone
(8) stagger as before. StaggerKnockbackSpeed = live knob (default 7).

B4 BOSS LUNGE: a telegraphed gap-closer on its own cooldown when the target
sits outside slam reach (repositioning - the slam stays the damage beat).
BossState.PendingAttack (server-only byte) disambiguates the shared windup
elapse (review-confirmed: naive reuse would SLAM on a lunge elapse);
LungeState.UntilTick spans windup+travel so the existing IsLunging ghost bit
replicates the tell, and the client draws a travel wedge instead of the slam
ring while it is set.

B5 PARTY HP SCALE: boss Health x(1 + 0.75/extra LIVING expedition player) at
spawn (not RunParticipant - dead-respawned members park at base). Max is a
GhostField so the bar stays truthful.

B6 RUN-FAILED BANNER: silent wipes used to land players home with zero
explanation. Client detects the (in-run)->Staging edge with a launch-cached
Charge (NEVER Returning - a 1-tick transient that precedes the bank by a
tick) and shows EXPEDITION FAILED for 6 s.

B7 FIRE ANIM: the class ability finally moves the body - a stateless window
from replicated AbilityCooldown.NextFireTick minus derived CooldownTicks
(works for predicted local + interpolated remotes, no cached edges).

456/456 EditMode; live Play smoke: launch -> 5 kills credit the room clear
through the corpse window -> boon window opens -> corpses expire clean, no
exceptions.

kronic 3836e9c842 Phase 1 B3: enemies die with a corpse window instead of popping out of existence
Server: HealthApplyDamageSystem marks EnemyTag Dying{UntilTick} (TickUtil.
NonZero, ~54 ticks) on the lethal 0-crossing instead of instant destroy,
zeroes every live cue (replicated AttackWindup, LungeState + IsLunging bit,
KnockbackState), destroys on expiry; plain-world tests keep instant destroy
(no NetworkTime) so the suite's assertions stay meaningful.

Every consumer now ignores corpses (all confirmed entity-count/unfiltered by
the design review): EnemyAISystem all 4 passes, BossAISystem brain + summon
cap, RoomEnemyDirector room-clear + MaxAlive fit, WaveSystem cap + cleared,
CyclePhaseSystem breach wipe + DefendCleared, ThreatDirector timeout cull,
TurretFire targeting, CoreDamage drain, ProjectileDamage snapshot (corpses
are not shields), AbilityFire auto-aim candidates, debug cull + telemetry.
Wipe passes skip Dying to avoid cross-ECB double-destroys.

Client: EnemyAnimationDriveSystem finally drives the controller's IsDead
param (Health.Current<=0 is the replicated death read; corpse locomotion
zeroed); CombatFeedbackSystem moves the kill CRUNCH to the 0-crossing (the
prune-edge timing would land it ~1 s late) - the prune keeps a small
dissolve puff for corpses and the legacy full read for alive-vanish culls.

kronic a482a9c4ed Phase 1 A/C/D: void room fixed, authored portal + spawn FX, verbs finally taught
SLICE A - rooms become places: ExpeditionBiome duplicated to sub-slot 1
(X+1500) - ground, 205 decor children, rim cliffs, ambience; collider ring +
3 landmark colliders duplicated in the subscene; NEW in-room cover at BOTH
slots (4 collidable rocks each: Environment-layer box colliders in the
subscene + matching Synty rock meshes in Game.unity, placed clear of the
landing point, portal spot, spawn ring and boss spawn). Half of all rooms
previously played on a literal void.

SLICE C - owned FX wired: VFXConfig gains Portal + EnemySpawn slots
(FX_Portal_Round_01 / FX_Dust_Big_01 from PolygonParticleFX); the portal
beacon prefers the authored effect (procedural pillar stays as fallback);
enemies get a spawn-emerge cue on the ghost add-edge (primed-scan guard
skips the connect flood).

SLICE D (teaching) - the two undiscoverable verbs are now taught: dash on
the Move step, class ability + attack on the Rooms step (scheme-aware
glyphs); How-to-Play Controls adds Class ability + Dash rows and fixes the
wrong RT glyph; Loop step 1 mentions class pick + prep; the stale '50
starting Ore' now interpolates Tuning.StartingOre.

kronic 7c1fee097e Phase 0 stabilize: lifecycle-aware banner, RoomExplore location line, grounded crate + beacon, tamed beacon HDR
- The center-top phase banner read the CyclePhase label ("AT BASE") inside
  expedition rooms - now shows ON EXPEDITION whenever a run is past Staging.
- The location-line switch had no RoomExplore case, so "choose your boon"
  stuck through the whole loot window - added the portal-steer line.
- Storage crate floated 1u: GridOrigin.y=1 is the CC capsule-CENTER plane;
  CellToWorld returns it, and the crate's mesh pivot is at its base (Turret/
  Wall pivots are centered, which is why structures look grounded). The
  container now sits on the terrain; same grounding for the portal beacon,
  whose pos.y was the capsule plane too.
- Beacon HDR 2.6/3.4 bloomed into a white egg that swallowed the prompt -
  tamed to 1.2/1.55 + slimmed the pillar.

456/456 EditMode before and after; Play smoke: crate at y=0, banner correct
at Staging.

kronic 274cf3b791 Portal made visible: cyan beacon pillar + always-on RoomExplore steer prompt (DR-046 follow-up)
The room-exit portal was invisible in the first playtest - players loitered
out the 30s ExploreGrace timeout. Adds RegionMath.ExpeditionPortalPos as the
single client-derivable portal-position authority (HUD prompt + beacon can't
drift), a pooled breathing HDR pillar in CombatFeedbackSystem shown only
during RoomExplore, and an in-range/out-of-range two-stage prompt.

Also repairs the comment-swallowed _portalMat initialization (NRE in
OnStartRunning killed ALL combat feedback each session and auto-paused the
editor via Error Pause). 456/456 EditMode.

kronic 304ee8c2a7 Base<->Expedition ties: portal rooms, class-at-base, prep spend + Health.Max, C3/C4/Spitter (DR-046)
Portal-gated rooms: new RunLifecycle.RoomExplore loot window; room+nodes
persist past the last kill; PortalInteractRequest -> server-only PortalCommand
advances (client derives the portal pos). RunDirectorSystem moves teardown off
the InRoom edge, relocates the boss-branch/route-gate into the RoomExplore exit,
and advances an empty expedition immediately (incl. a boss clear).

Class-at-base via a shared ClassSwapUtil (meta-band strip + per-class
MetaTierState replay, so the base RPC and the dev SetClass can't drift);
ClassSelectRequest Staging-gated. Per-run PREP buffs (PrepPurchaseRequest,
PrepCatalog): once-per-run == the row's prep StatModifier band is present,
TotalOf-before-Withdraw atomic, stripped on Returning beside the boon band.

Health.Max promoted to [GhostField] (the one ghost-hash re-bake) so the boss +
floating enemy HP bars read it directly. Feel: melee cone connect-thunk (C3),
hit-stop throttle so a horde wipe can't stutter (C4), Spitter cornered-hold.

456/456 EditMode; two adversarial reviews (pre-code 13-confirmed folded;
post-impl clean bar the RoomExplore boss-clear dead-time, fixed).

Luis Gonzalez 86575dd5bc Fix co-op join disconnect: gate client go-in-game on subscene load
A remote/cold client added NetworkStreamInGame the instant it got a
NetworkId, before the gameplay subscene's ghost prefabs finished
streaming. The server's first ghost snapshot then hit a client that
couldn't resolve those prefabs -> "ghost ... ENTITY_NOT_FOUND" ->
forced disconnect ("nothing loads"). On loopback / fast LAN the
go-in-game handshake beats the ~0.4s entity-subscene stream. The host
never hit it (it shares the server's loaded subscene); every remote
join did -- MPPM virtual players and real networked clients alike.

GoInGameClientSystem now gates full-client go-in-game on the gameplay
subscene being loaded (HasSingleton<PlayerSpawner>); thin clients skip
the gate. Verified cross-process in a standalone build over loopback:
join ghost-prefab errors 15->0, disconnects 1->0, client stays
connected and resolves all server ghosts.

Also adds a -mhost / -mjoin <ip> command-line hook to MainMenuController
for headless co-op testing (drives WorldLauncher.StartSession, no UI).

Luis Gonzalez 29e90a5008 First-run onboarding: contextual coach-marks + How-to-Play card + dev replay toggle
Teaches the deep, interlocking loop — especially the inverted win condition
(you win by CLEARING EXPEDITIONS, not by surviving base sieges; DR-042/DR-043).

- OnboardingSystem: client-only observe-only PresentationSystemGroup overlay
  (own UIDocument @ sortingOrder 60), soft-gated 10-beat coach-mark sequence
  with a world-space ▶ pointer; never mutates sim / never destroys a ghost.
- OnboardingStepMath: pure, unit-tested step machine (snapshot + IsSatisfied +
  scheme-aware prompts + pointer kinds + persisted-mask helpers).
- HowToPlayPanel: tabbed reference card (Controls / The Loop / Build / Threats /
  Win-Lose), reachable from the main menu and the pause overlay.
- Per-client client-local state in GameSettings (TutorialHints + OnboardingMask
  bitmask, additive) — a Join client keeps its own; a host save-wipe never
  re-teaches. Settings toggle + menu "Replay Tutorial".
- Dev "Force Each Launch" toggle (GameSettings.ForceOnboardingEachLaunch):
  SettingsService.Boot wipes the mask + forces hints on in-memory every launch
  so the tutorial always replays fresh.
- HudSystem suppresses its own location hint while onboarding is active
  (single prompt voice), via OnboardingState + [UpdateAfter(OnboardingSystem)].

Validated green: 20/20 EditMode; Play smoke confirmed overlay render, clean
U+25B6 pointer glyph, no system sort-cycle, and the force-wipe end-to-end.

Docs: DR-043 + session log; reusable lesson archived in the build-gotchas note.

kronic 8f96b520d6 Deferred feel items: true enemy body hit-flash, co-op remote swing arcs, near-impact strike beep
Clears the three follow-ups deferred by the combat-overhaul pass (c3b53cef2) + the
DR-041 "needs its own ShaderGraph slice" note. All client-only, observe-only presentation
(PresentationSystemGroup; no sim mutation, no [GhostField], no server work).

- Item 1: EnemyHitFlashSystem flashes the ACTUAL enemy body by driving the stock
  Entities-Graphics URPMaterialPropertyBaseColor override on the Rukhanka render-entity
  LEG children (root has no MaterialMeshInfo) -- NO ShaderGraph edit, no new component type.
  Lerp white->BodyFlashColor on a Health-decrease edge, decay back to white. Verified on
  screen (the AnimatedLitShader honors the per-instance _BaseColor override).
- Item 2: per-remote-player slash-arc pool in CombatFeedbackSystem, edge-detected from the
  replicated MeleeCombo on interpolated teammates (.WithDisabled<GhostOwnerIsLocal>());
  BuildSlashMesh -> BuildSlashInto(mesh,...) refactor; local player keeps _slashMr.
- Item 3: once-per-windup near-impact strike beep folded into the danger-cone loop, gated
  to a resolved local player.
- 9 new FeelConfig knobs (+ ResetDefaults).

390/390 EditMode, clean compile, zero Play exceptions. 3-lens adversarial review
(wf_8a998c6c-af9) -- no critical/major; fixed 4 minors: spurious beep at base origin before

kronic c3b53cef28 Combat feel pass: enemy hit-flash, melee connect cue, kill pop, gamepad rumble, footsteps, damage-number tiering
Implements the "what's missing" feel backlog from the combat overhaul investigation (wf_c6c87dc5-9c3). All
client-only, observe-only (PresentationSystemGroup), no sim/netcode change, rollback-safe; new FeelConfig knobs
default-stamped on play-enter.

- ENEMY HIT-FLASH (#1 missing): on the enemy Health-decrease edge, a bright body-scaled particle puff in the
  previously-unused FeelConfig.HitFlashColor (via a new EmitColored helper using per-emit startColor) -- the staple
  "I connected" read. (A true material body-flash needs an AnimatedLitShader emission property + Entities Graphics
  MaterialProperty; the puff is the asset-free version.)
- MELEE CONNECT-vs-WHIFF: on the local swing, a client-side MeleeConeMath.InCone overlap over the cached enemy
  snapshot -> immediate connect read (brightens the slash arc, hit-spark at the nearest enemy, a meaty low "thunk"
  SFX, extra FOV punch) before the authoritative server spark arrives. Whiffs stay dim.
- KILL POP: a colored flash burst + rumble on enemy death (on top of the existing burst/shake/FOV).
- GAMEPAD RUMBLE: new RumbleUtil (auto-stopping pulse, gamepad-only, stops on focus-loss, reset on play-enter)
  pulsed on local hit-taken / hit-dealt / kill, gated on AimPresentation.Scheme==Gamepad.
- FOOTSTEPS: edge-detect local locomotion from the position delta -> soft step SFX at a cadence while moving.
- DAMAGE-NUMBER TIERING: SpawnNumber scales font + life by hit magnitude (vs HitStopRefDamage) so heavy hits read.

390/390 EditMode, clean compile + Play (no exceptions; per-frame footstep/rumble-tick paths verified). On-screen
feel is the operator's eyes. Deferred (focused follow-ups): true material body hit-flash (ShaderGraph), co-op
remote-swing rendering, near-impact telegraph beep (clip reserved).

kronic ca38c2b16d Melee clarity: the swing-arc now SWEEPS across + ramps per combo step (reads as a directional escalating cleave)
Operator: "the melee ability needs visual clarity, on what it does." The cleave is instant (kept — operator chose
instant + VFX), and the arc already matched the exact cone range/half-angle — but it popped whole then faded
(read as a flash) and all 3 combo steps looked byte-identical.

Client-only, observe-only (PresentationSystemGroup), no sim/netcode change, rollback-safe by construction:
- SWEEP: BuildSlashMesh takes a reveal fraction + sweep sign; UpdateSlash rebuilds the crescent each frame so the
  blade wipes across the arc over the first ~60% of life, then holds + fades. Leading edge is brightest. Sweep
  direction alternates per combo step -> reads as alternating strikes.
- PER-STEP RAMP: TriggerSlash takes step + comboLen; tint/brightness/life ramp per link so the chain visibly
  builds to the warm-HDR finisher (steps were indistinguishable before). Facing is already snapped at the swing
  edge.

Compiles clean, no runtime exceptions (per-frame 33-vert rebuild is negligible). The on-screen feel is the
operator's eyes. Deferred to a feel follow-up (they share the enemy-cache / damage-edge code path): connect-vs-
whiff flash, co-op remote-swing rendering, and enemy hit-flash. Investigation: wf_c6c87dc5-9c3 (melee lane).

kronic 09183cc139 Turrets: 40 Ore + per-base cap of 6 + fit-one-cell textured model (fix cheap/spam/massive/untextured)
Operator: turrets were "super duper cheap", spammable "unlimited", "spaced weirdly", "massive and not textured".
All four were real and independently rooted (placement grid was actually fine).

- Cost: TurretCostOre 10 -> 40 (authoring default + the serialized Gameplay subscene value, which overrides the
  code default). A node yields 30 Ore, so a turret is now ~1.3 nodes instead of 1/3 of one.
- Cap: new Tuning.TurretCap=6, enforced server-authoritatively in BuildPlaceSystem (count live Base turrets while
  building the occupancy set; reject placement at the cap, same-tick-safe). Was unlimited.
- Model: the 1.6x Synty ballista (~5m on a 1m cell, clipping neighbours) scaled to 0.8 to fit one cell; the C5
  BoxCollider shrunk to match (0.8x1.2x0.8, center y 0.6); all 6 sub-renderers swapped off the flat untextured
  teal Mat_StructureOwned_Cyan to the Synty atlas PolygonFantasyKingdom_Mat_01_A (textured). Play-verified
  TurretCost=40 Ore / cap=6 baked; no exceptions.

Also fixes 3 EditMode tests that pinned the old dash knobs (the prior tuning commit changed iframe 12->14 /
cooldown 45->36 but I committed it without re-running tests): DashSystemTests now derives the expected dash speed
from TuningConfig.Defaults() (robust to future tuning) + asserts now+14/+36; TuningConfigTests pins the new
defaults. 390/390 EditMode green.

Investigation: wf_c6c87dc5-9c3 (turret lane). Operator fork: 40 Ore + cap 6 (stricter).

kronic 1b704ca0b9 Combat tuning: lift sluggish chasers toward kiteable band + snappier dash (research-backed)
Deep-research-backed ratios (GDKeys, gamedeveloper.com twin-stick study, Hades/RoR, critpoints i-frames):
enemies should sit ~0.5-0.85x of player move speed (kiteable but pressing), telegraphs >= ~250ms.

- Enemy move speed (on the RIGGED prefabs the directors actually spawn - verified the live ZoneEnemy/Wave
  rosters at runtime: Grunt=EnemyWerewolf, Charger=EnemyChargerMuscle, Spitter=EnemySpitter, Swarmer=
  EnemySwarmerUndead): Grunt 3.0->4.2 (0.70x base), Charger walk 2.6->3.0, Spitter 2.8->3.0. The 0.43-0.50x
  cluster was trivially out-walked by the 6.9 Ranger; lifted to credible pressure while still kiteable.
  Swarmer kept at 6.5 (intentional surround/rush). Telegraph windups unchanged (already research-aligned).
- Dash (live TuningConfig defaults): IFrameWindowTicks 12->14 (0.20->0.23s, covers a reacted telegraph),
  DashCooldownTicks 45->36 (0.75->0.60s, horde-kiter cadence). Dash distance/arc unchanged.

Play-verified the baked rosters: Grunt 4.2 / Charger 3 / Spitter 3 / Swarmer 6.5; dash 14/36. 390/390 EditMode.
All are live-tunable (dash) or one re-bake (enemy speeds). Investigation: wf_c6c87dc5-9c3 (tuning lane).

kronic 3c1b5c44cd Fix: dying on an expedition soft-bricked the player — respawn now resets RegionTag to Base
PlayerRespawnSystem teleported a recovered player to base coords but never reset its server-only RegionTag
(every other region-mover flips RegionTag + Position together). So dying ON an expedition left you at base
still tagged Expedition: GhostRelevancy hid all base ghosts from you, base enemies ignored you, and the
expedition field/zone-director kept counting you as "still out there" (waves never stopped). No self-recovery.

- PlayerRespawnSystem: add RefRW<RegionTag> to the recovery query + set Region=Base alongside the reposition.
- Harden: drop the hard RequireForUpdate<PlayerSpawner> (a transiently-missing spawner could strand dead
  players downed forever) -> TryGetSingleton with a BaseAnchor fallback, early-return only if both are absent.
- PlayerRespawnSystemTests: add RegionTag to the harness + a regression (expedition death -> respawn at base
  with RegionTag reset to Base). 390/390 EditMode.

Investigation: combat-overhaul workflow wf_c6c87dc5-9c3 (death lane). Base-death case was already correct.

kronic bd8458853b DR-042 Phase C (legibility, part 2): walls block enemies (C5) — restore the fortress fantasy
Player-built structures now physically block enemies (husks walked straight through walls before). Dedicated
"Structure" physics layer (slot 9) so the player passes its own walls while enemies are stopped:

- New WorldCollisionConfig.StructureMask, baked from the "Structure" layer in WorldCollisionAuthoring (mirrors
  EnvironmentMask). EnemyAISystem ORs it into the movement sweep filter (CollidesWith = envMask | structMask) —
  no new system, same 1-2 SphereCasts per enemy.
- Wall/Turret/Pylon prefabs get a cell-sized BoxCollider on the Structure layer (Wall's existing one relayered).
- Physics matrix: Default x Structure unchecked, so the kinematic player CC (Default) passes its own walls while
  the enemy's explicit cast still hits them. Despawn frees collision for free (collider dies with the entity).

Play-verified baked filters: StructMask=512; structure colliders BelongsTo=512, CollidesWith=0xFFFFFFFE
(includes Environment for the enemy cast, EXCLUDES bit 0 so the player passes). 389/389 EditMode, no exceptions.
Server-only/static colliders -> deterministic, no client divergence. SaveData stays v5.

Phase C complete (C5-C7). A visual fun-gate (husk stops at wall, player walks through) is the operator's eyes.

kronic 419debad74 DR-042 Phase C (legibility, part 1): expedition objective HUD, Aether button, cold-start seed, Biomass sink, palette declutter
Scoping/design-gated (wf_7c5a555e-136). Fixes "the base reads as inert after Phase A":

- C7b objective readout: new replicated ExpeditionObjective{[GhostField] byte State, short Remaining} on the
  untagged CycleDirector ghost (cross-region safe). Sole writer ZoneEnemyDirectorSystem, written ABOVE its
  early-returns (snapshot-above-early-return) so the HUD never freezes stale. Play-verified it replicates
  server->client.
- C7a gate prompt + C7b HUD readout: HudSystem shows "GO TO THE EXPEDITION GATE" / "EXPEDITION IN PROGRESS - N
  remaining" / "CLEARED - return to claim", below the siege/overrun overrides.
- C6a Aether upgrade button: un-gated BuildSendSystem.UpgradeAbility (was #if UNITY_EDITOR); HudSystem adds a
  MenuUi.Button with live affordability tint (the only Aether sink was U-key only).
- C6c cold-start seed: CycleDirectorSpawnSystem seeds Tuning.StartingOre (50) into the ledger on a NEW game only
  (born-correct, pre-Playback), killing the silent turret-before-fabricator deadlock. Play-verified seededOre=50.
- C6b Biomass sink: Wall cost Ore->Biomass (the dead currency now has a home). Play-verified WallCostRes=Biomass.
- C6d palette declutter: hide dead Pylon/Harvester/Conveyor from the build palette + trimmed their dev hotkeys
  (catalog/prefabs stay baked, code-intact per DR-020).

389/389 EditMode + clean netcode Play smoke (ghost re-hash OK, no exceptions). SaveData stays v5.
C5 (walls block enemies) is the remaining Phase C item, sequenced separately.

kronic ed65770cc9 DR-042 Phase A: expedition-driven win — move win-driver off base-siege survival, kill the AFK path
Design-review-gated (wf_ebef4e81-dba, GREEN-WITH-CHANGES). The win-driver moves
from "survive N base sieges" to "clear N expeditions". The review overturned the
literal plan: credit on RETURN, not at the clear edge (clear-edge crediting arms
the undefended final base siege -> uncontestable terminal Loss).

- ExpeditionGateSystem: now the sole production writer of GoalProgress.Charge —
  a clamped +1 per cleared expedition folded into the existing once-per-epoch
  reward block, reusing the LastRewardedEpoch latch (Ore + Charge share fate) +
  a SaveRequest checkpoint. No new latch, no new GhostField, no ordering change.
- CyclePhaseSystem: deleted the survived-siege +1 (the AFK win path). Victory
  latch unchanged; GoalReached still arms the final base siege at cap.
- CycleDirectorAuthoring + CycleDirector.prefab: ScheduleEnabled baked OFF
  (retaliation-only). A serialized prefab bool ignores the C# field initializer,
  so the value is flipped in the prefab, not just the code default.
- Tests: re-pointed CyclePhaseSystemTests + EndgameWinLoseTests survived-siege
  assertions; extended ExpeditionGateRewardTests (+1, no-double-credit, clamp).
  389/389 EditMode green; clean netcode Play smoke (no sort-cycle, Schedule=0).

kronic e32dadbc66 Slice Combat Depth (MC-3 + wiring + review fixes): Spitter aim-line + player-hit punch, rigged enemies, in-band gate (DR-041)
Completes the Combat Depth slice on top of the MC-2 server spine (56cf60cce):

MC-3 impact juice (client, observe-only):
- 7 FeelConfig fields + ResetDefaults; magnitude-scaled player-dealt-hit camera
  PunchFov on the enemy-Health-decrease edge (camera-only hit-stop, never timeScale).
- Spitter Kind==2 aim-LANE telegraph (BuildLaneMesh) — reads baked SpitterState
  client-side, falls back to a fixed length. True freeze + material flash deferred.

Content / wiring:
- SpitterProjectilePrefabAuthoring (the SpitterProjectilePrefab singleton).
- Both directors rebuilt to a 4-entry KIND-INDEXED roster [Grunt,Charger,Spitter,
  Swarmer] + mix/MaxAlive config + the SpitterProjectileConfig singleton in the subscene.
- Real rigged models: EnemySpitter (re-skinned Kaiju, ranged poker) + EnemySwarmerUndead
  (Undead-Werewolf, fast/low-HP); grunt/charger keep Werewolf/ChargerMuscle. EnemySpit =
  ownerless interpolated ghost (no Health, no collider).

Post-impl adversarial review fixes (wf_febdcfdb-665):
- [MED] in-band fire gate: the Spitter committed its telegraph from ANY range (fired while
  advancing from far). Now commits only when sInBand || sCornered (gives CorneredRange a
  real read site) — a Spitter out-of-band holds fire and repositions.
- [LOW] EnemyProjectileDamageSystem early-returns on !ServerTick.IsValid (sibling parity).
- [LOW] EnemyAuthoring bake-time guard: errors if a prefab composes both Charger+Spitter
  (would match zero AI passes -> never move).
- [LOW] tests: Spitter brain fires from Expedition (kills the Base==0 region false-green);
  a direct partition-exclusion test replaces the order-masked claim; added out-of-band +
  cornered negative tests.

388/388 EditMode green + two Play smokes (clean boot, fire, swept-hit, region, server==
client; rigged Kaiju spitter bakes + fires with zero console errors). Accepted as-is
(documented in DR-041): global spit soft-cap, co-op punch attribution.

kronic 56cf60cce3 Slice Combat Depth (MC-2): enemy-variety server spine — Spitter, Swarmer, 4-type mix (DR-041)
Adds the server-authoritative mechanics for three new enemy archetypes on top of
the Grunt/Charger base, plus the weighted wave-composition that introduces them:

- Spitter: a ranged Husk variant (SpitterState) that holds a preferred range-band
  (advance/retreat/hold via EnemyAIMath.BandVelocity) and fires a telegraphed,
  dodgeable EnemyProjectile. New server EnemyProjectileMoveSystem (integrate +
  store LastStep) + EnemyProjectileDamageSystem (region-filtered swept hit-test
  rebuilt from LastStep — DR-018 anti-tunnelling; players use HitRadius, structures
  a const radius; at-most-once destroy). Concurrent-spit soft cap, soft-fail retry.
- Swarmer: marker tag + deterministic cluster spawn (1 slot = 1 pack;
  EnemyAIMath.ClusterOffset), MaxAlive counts ENTITIES so a pack defers if it
  won't fit.
- 4-type weighted mix: MixBands -> ZoneEnemyMath.WaveSlots/KindForSlot/
  PackSizeForSlot drives both the expedition director and (fork-4a) the base siege,
  with a mandatory MaxAlive cap. Legacy WaveSize/IsChargerSlot kept + parity-tested.
- Discriminator stays component-presence (no enum in Bursted systems): query-
  partition guards keep each enemy moved by exactly one EnemyAISystem pass
  (sole-Position-writer). EnemyTelegraph.IsCharger -> Kind byte for the client cue.

New authoring (Spitter/Swarmer/EnemyProjectile) + expanded director authorings with
tunable mix/cluster defaults. 13 new EditMode tests (mix composition + legacy parity,
band/cluster math, projectile move + cross-region + swept anti-tunnelling regressions);
full suite green before commit.

Dormant until the prefab/subscene wiring lands (next): the new systems guard on
TryGetSingleton/RequireForUpdate, so with no prefabs wired the new types stay inert.

kronic 3109b86d71 Slice 3: Expedition Combat Spine — epoch-seeded zone waves (DR-040)
Reactivate the dormant Expedition region as a procedural combat venue.
v1 loop: walk the gate -> fight an epoch-seeded enemy wave in the
expedition -> clear -> return -> flat Ore reward (once per epoch) ->
escalated retaliation base siege.

- New sim types: ZoneEnemyTag, ZoneEnemyDirector (+ ZoneEnemyPrefab
  buffer), ZoneEnemyState, ZoneEnemyMath (grunt->charger composition
  by epoch). ZoneEnemyDirectorSystem (server, Burst): drip-spawns the
  wave at a deterministic ring under a MaxAlive cap while a player is
  out and the base is Calm; marks ClearedThisEpoch on a real clear.
  [UpdateAfter(ExpeditionFieldSystem)] only (avoids a sort cycle).
- BLOCKER 1: EnemyAISystem region-filters target selection (player +
  structure snapshots gain parallel region lists; no base structures /
  no Core fallback for expedition husks).
- BLOCKER 3: WaveSystem, ThreatDirectorSystem timeout cull, and
  CyclePhaseSystem DefendCleared + Core-breach cull all count/cull
  RegionTag{Base} husks only (the breach cull was caught region-blind
  by the post-impl review: a base breach wiped the live expedition
  wave and spuriously paid the reward).
- BLOCKER 4: reward de-duped via CycleRuntime.LastRewardedEpoch +
  ClearedThisEpoch; ExpeditionGateSystem deposits RewardOre once/epoch.
- ExpeditionFieldSystem teardown also culls zone enemies + region-
  guards the clutter loop. Subscene wired with the director + roster.

kronic a74b761363 Dev tool: switch player class (Warrior/Ranger) at runtime for testing
Editor-only class swap via the existing scalar dev-RPC family (new DebugOp.SetClass): F1/F2 keybind (ClassSwitchHotkeySystem), DebugOverlay '- Class -' buttons, and DebugCommandSendSystem.SetWarrior/SetRanger/SetClass statics. Server (DebugCommandReceiveSystem) swaps class in place on the spawned player: strips+re-seeds the ClassTraits StatModifier seeds, swaps the AbilityRef Fire slot, resets the ability cooldown, and heals a LIVING player to the new max (dead players skip the heal so respawn isn't raced). Server-authoritative + prediction-correct (same buffer-mutation path as GrantUpgrade); wire type unchanged so the RpcCollection hash is unaffected.

ClassTraits gains a shared Seeds core (spawn + swap can't drift), ClassSeedCount, IsClassSeed, a DynamicBuffer AppendSeeds overload, and Reapply. +3 EditMode tests (exact-count round-trip, value-equality fold, boundary/foreign-mod preservation); 351/351 green; Warrior<->Ranger round-trip Play-validated (server+client agree).

kronic 2da29783fd EB-2: felt spend - turrets burn a shared Charge pool, ledger-fed Fabricator mints it from Ore
Mined Ore now has an ongoing sink: a ledger-fed Fabricator converts Ore->Charge
(1 Ore -> 3 Charge / 30t) and turrets spend Charge per shot, soft-failing (no
shot, no cooldown burn) when the shared pool runs dry.

- ResourceId.Charge=4 rides the existing [GhostField] StorageEntry ledger (no new wire).
- TurretFireSystem: single ledger resolve + atomic spend / soft-fail / partial-refund.
- Fabricator.InputFromLedger (byte, server-only) feeds input from the shared ledger,
  read live in-loop so two machines split a finite pool; both modes deposit to ledger.
- HudSystem: violet Charge chip + global quiet-turret cue when siege && Charge==0.
- StorageMath.TotalOf backs the affordability read; catalog re-enables the Fabricator (4 entries).

kronic 73cfe2943d EB-1: machines can die - structures get HP, Husks raze them, wounded base persists
Structures (Turret/Wall/Pylon) reuse the combat spine: authoring bakes Health(GhostField)+DamageEvent buffer+a Destructible tag (no HitRadius -> no friendly projectile fire; no EffectiveCharacterStats -> clamp-to-0). HealthApplyDamageSystem destroys a Destructible at 0 (occupancy auto-frees). EnemyAISystem fortress-targets the weighted-nearest of players+structures via the shared EnemyAIMath.PickWeightedNearest (StructureAggroWeight TuningConfig knob, <1 prefers structures, squared factor; snapshot above the early-return so an undefended base is razed). Persistence v3: per-structure HP threaded through 5 sites (SaveData/PendingStructure/scan-guarded/BaseRestore same-ECB born-correct/WorldLauncher via SaveApply.ToPending); SaveService floor-gate [2,3] loads old saves. Loss feedback: proximity-gated StructureFeedbackSystem; CombatFeedbackSystem suppressed for structures. Pre-code review caught the DamageEvent-buffer crash blocker + 8 majors; post-code review clean. See DR-032.
