kronic 7f032571df Weapon grip anchor: gizmo-authored WYSIWYG grip + operator's hand-tuned grip baked
WeaponGripAnchor under Hand_R in Player.prefab carries the actual axe
mesh as an EditorOnly preview (baker skips it; play-verified single axe)
so grip manipulation is the real model live in the prefab stage;
AttachMeleeWeapon reads the anchor (consts = seed/fallback). Includes
the operator's first gizmo-tuned grip (rebaked mesh matches expected
radius exactly). PlayerRigTools also carries the heavy-lock clip
re-speeds (1.0/0.85/0.88) consumed by the next commit.

kronic 2710d680b4 Sandbox target dummy: planted EnemyTag ghost + DevSandbox respawn spawner
GymSub bakes no WaveDirector (why sandbox enemies never spawned); the
sandbox's combat target is now a TargetDummyTag'd enemy ghost all five
EnemyAISystem passes exclude (planted; knockback stamps inert), spawned
at player+3m with 400 HP by an editor-only scene-gated server system,
dying through the normal Dying path and respawning 1.5s after the corpse.
EnemyTag-reuse audited: sandbox-only by design (cleared-checks would
count it elsewhere).

kronic 730bad3d74 Data-driven tuning bench: feel profiles (JSON gestalts + overlay A/B), asset-derived timing audit, server-measured combat probe
FeelProfileService: partial-apply profiles ride the authoritative SetTuning
path + FeelConfig reflection; Save-current captures hand-dialed state; 3
starter profiles (baseline-0720 / heavy-committed / snappier, DPS-held).
TuningAuditTools: contact truth derived from clip WindUp takes / state
speeds vs MeleeTiming (drift detector), coupling invariants, cadence/DPS,
reach-honesty ratio off the baked weapon mesh (now x0.93/x1.16, was >2x).
CombatProbe: dummy + injected mash chain, per-swing server-measured
start/contact/damage + cadence/DPS report. Verified live: snappier profile
apply -> measured 24/24/36 gaps, +12/+8/+15 contacts.

kronic 7b65912f30 Melee feel overhaul: SwordCombat anims at heavy cadence, salvage axe, damage-at-contact + buffer + dash law (guidelines forks 1-6)
07-18/19/20 arc: LightCombo01/HeavyCombo01 clips onto Swing1-3/Slam at
~natural speed (26-tick window, 30-tick recover, DPS-held damage retune),
Menacing01 combat idle (InCombat), SM_Wep_Axe_Large_01 rigid-skinned to
Hand_R at x1.25, LANTERN FX retone + blade-smear ribbon. Forks 1-6 per
Combat_Attack_Feel_Guidelines (design review wf_000bc247): cleave resolves
at the CONTACT tick (MeleeCleavePending schedule-and-consume, knob 31,
0=legacy; connect cues moved to contact), MeleeRange 2.2 + reach-only
finisher mult 1.25 (knob 30), BufferedAttackTick GhostField input buffer
(knob 29, unlock-edge validity), dash refused pre-contact (lookup-based).
Tests: MeleeComboTests pin legacy knobs; +3 fork tests (414 green); live
server proof: HP drop exactly at swing+16 under tick batching.

kronic 7571091394 LANTERN feel pass (DR-052 + gap list): SoD facing, underwater feel, Bathynaut kit, walk/run gait, suit lamp + new Synty anim packs
- SoD facing: PlayerFacing = body-yaw only (move-facing / cast-turn / idle-hold); every fire
  direction re-sourced to FacingMath.ResolveAim (pre-code review blocking catch); TickWindowMath
  shared windows with Movement-skip; reticle/FX coupled to the damage direction; cursor-dash kept.
- Underwater feel: sharpness 15->6, turn 720->360, MoveSpeed 6->4.2; TuningKnob 26-28
  (0 = no-override sentinels, dev-protocol bump on DebugTuningReport); stride footsteps + silt +
  cadence floor; bubbles; underwater ambience bed + distant groans; camera drag + dev scroll zoom.
- Bathynaut kit in-engine: dome/tank/shoulder-lamp + bare head grafted (GraftSmr rigid rebase,
  RecalculateTangents); EmissiveGloamSkinned shader (Rukhanka deformation); shoulder lamp CASTS
  (warm steady spot on body yaw).
- Gait: two-ring walk/run FreeformDirectional tree (walk @0.35, run @1.0) + blended-natural
  StrideScale; additive Posture(Bank) + Lead(chest-lead) layers; idle = AnimationIdles Base;
  banking driven from facing turn rate; flat terrain (Env_SeabedKit seabed squashed - CC is planar).
- New packs: Synty AnimationIdles + AnimationSwordCombat (combat pass queued) + SyntyPropBoneTool;
  four authored clips (sway/trudge/banks/lean) + Anim_Player_Underwater.blend + suit-kit FBX.
- Validation: 411/411 EditMode green; Play smokes (server==client facing, Aim-true projectile,
  bank/stride live-sampled, lamp beam verified); pre-code + post-impl adversarial reviews applied.

kronic 210d307406 LANTERN realignment P5: Bathynaut suit body onto Player.prefab (in place)
New PlayerRigTools.BuildBathynautPlayer (menu: ProjectM/Animation) - forks the
proven EnemyRigTools recipe: strips the Synty-soldier skeleton+SMRs from
Player.prefab IN PLACE (GUID preserved; ghost/authoring/CC/Animator/
RigDefinitionAuthoring untouched), flattens the SpaceSoldier_HelmetArmor suit
body under the root, keeps the -0.90 feet offset, re-slots
M_SuitFrame_Bathynaut_Animated on every SMR, adopts the shared CharactersAvatar
(AC_PlayerTopDown muscle clips retarget). 17 inactive Synty variant SMRs stripped.
Both frames share this visual until per-frame models land; the brass-dome/tank
kitbash attachments are a follow-up /art-dev export.

Play-verified in DevSandbox: suit renders + idles correctly under the LANTERN
murk, Rukhanka rig baked with all 9 drive params, dev overlay alive in the
renamed scene, no console errors.

=> Movement/animation tuning is now UNBLOCKED (the operator's next priority).

kronic 12d5b96b71 LANTERN realignment P4: Gameplay subscene -> seabed arena roster + old enemy prefabs deleted

  deletion: null-skip pools collapse kinds): [Drowner, Grindylow, Drowner, Drowner]
  (grunt/charger(boss)/spitter-slot/swarmer-slot; ranged+pack kinds fall back to
  Drowner until LANTERN kinds land in Phase 2).
- WorldColliders_Landmarks + WorldColliders_Props deleted from the subscene (their
  visuals died with the host-scene biomes -> they were invisible walls). Boundary
  rings + room cover + all spawners/configs kept.
- 10 old-theme enemy prefabs deleted (Enemy, Brute, Charger, ChargerMuscle,
  Spitter, Swarmer(+Undead), Werewolf(+Undead), Kaiju); EnemySpit kept for a
  future ranged kind. Zero dangling GUID refs (verified).

Play-verified in Game: Drowner wave spawns, seeks, strikes; AFK player dies and
respawns (full loop); no console errors.

kronic c58439d33a LANTERN realignment P3: one look everywhere + scene surgery
- 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.

blob/authoring); StatRecomputeSystem folds CharacterStatsRef + sockets only;
HUD cooldown bar reads socket 0 of SocketCooldown/EffectiveSocketStats; class
HUD readers are FrameId-only (ClassForAbility/AbilityFor deleted);
DebugModifierInjectionSystem drops CycleAbility.

StorageMath.DrainFraction deleted, HowToPlay copy rewritten.

Save epoch v7 (fresh epoch, operator-approved): SaveData drops goal/core/outcome +

Gym.unity = the dev-test host re-based on DevSandbox (camera + DebugOverlay dev UI

Sparks, NetCodePhysicsConfig, WorldCollisionConfig, ProjectileSpawner, GymRoster =
GymTag + Drowner/Grindylow roster). Open Gym.unity + Play → GymTag clean-spawn with
a per-frame Spark loadout; on-demand SpawnEnemy. Subscene GameObjects still named
*_Copy (cosmetic); visuals = the operator's future underwater-match pass.

kronic aeb979f8d5 LANTERN P1 step 8: light-as-territory relevancy prototype (★)
Per connection, marks every ENEMY ghost OUTSIDE the player's lamp radius
IRRELEVANT (monsters in the dark aren't replicated — the gamma test). Modelled
on the proven RegionRelevancySystem: SetIsIrrelevant so players/global ghosts
stay relevant for free. Shared-set discipline — RegionRelevancySystem is the SOLE
clearer (runs every tick); LightRelevancySystem is [UpdateAfter] it and only ADDs
light hides via TryAdd (no clear; defensive against a region+light overlap dup).
Gated on GymTag (LANTERN-only; legacy region relevancy untouched). Pure decision
in LightRelevancyMath (+3 EditMode tests, 500 green). Per-player dim/bright
(variable radius) + the L3 gamma-test verification are follow-ups; the ★adversarial
netcode review is recommended before this ships.

kronic 342a39a540 LANTERN P1 step 5 + §8: two-frame identity via FrameId + per-frame gym loadouts
FrameId (replicated frame/class signal) now WRITTEN server-side at spawn for all
players; the two class-HUD readers (ClassPrepPortal, MetaShop) read FrameId (with
an AbilityRef fallback for pre-FrameId players) instead of ClassForAbility. The
gym seeds a PER-FRAME default Spark loadout via ClassTraits.FrameLoadout —
Harpooner (Ranger slot): reel/mobility/skillshots; Bathynaut (Warrior slot):
pull-in/dash/zone-control. FrameId uses ecb.AddComponent (baked on the real
player; absent on the minimal MetaSeeding test prefab). 497 EditMode green.

Deferred to a focused pass (risky wholesale refactor, "still works" via the
transition): full removal of legacy AbilityRef/AbilityCooldown/EffectiveAbility
Stats (woven through equip/class/meta/StatRecompute + tests) and the CharacterId
Bathynaut/Harpooner rename.

kronic 8f099c32ba LANTERN P1 step 6: manual-aim windups (SoD readable telegraphs)
AbilityDefBlob/AbilityDefinition gain WindupTicks. AbilityFireSystem's socket
loop resolves each socket at the historical command (serverTick - WindupTicks)
via GetDataAtTick — a pure fn of replicated data on both worlds (Build Spec §4/
DB-6: no local fireAtTick that would diverge under reprediction; fireCount from
that command, spawn uses the current tick's aim/pos; history gap = no-fire).
WindupTicks set on the 4 non-Blink Sparks (Blink is movement, resolved by
BlinkSystem). 497 EditMode green (no regression). Client telegraph VFX + the
reprediction L3 test are operator-eyes / netcode-world follow-ups.

GymTag + GymEnemyRoster (+ GymRosterAuthoring) bake the gym singletons. New
DebugOp.SpawnEnemy (client SpawnEnemy wrapper + server receive case) spawns a
chosen enemy KIND (Drowner/Grindylow) from the baked roster near the sender —

GoInGameServerSystem takes a GymTag branch: bypass the meta-catalog spawn guard

Per Phase1_Combat_Gym_Build_Spec §6 (the Blink Spark = a second, socketed dash):

- BlinkState: predicted, non-replicated blink window (DashState sibling).
- BlinkSystem: velocity blink (never a LocalTransform write), triggered by the Movement-
  archetype socket, dash-wins precedence ([UpdateAfter(DashSystem)]), sole writer of its
  socket's SocketCooldown row; reads socket loadout/cooldown by entity via lookups (query at 6
  args, under the 7-cap). Baked BlinkState on the player.

- PlayerAnimationDriveSystem: both jobs (Local/Remote) now read SocketCooldown +
  DynamicBuffer<AbilitySocket>/<EffectiveSocketStats> instead of the single AbilityCooldown/
  AbilityRef/EffectiveAbilityStats; shared SocketFireAndCone helper (any-socket-firing model:
  IsFiring if any socketed Spark's per-socket cooldown window is mid-fire; IsCone if any such
  is Cone).
- CombatFeedbackSystem: the muzzle-flash + cone-cue blocks unified into one per-socket
  fire-edge loop over SocketCooldown (per-socket uint cache); non-Cone -> muzzle flash,
  Cone -> the aimed slash-arc cue. Dropped the now-dead single-cooldown latches.
L1 clean; L2 494/494 (no regression).

Deferred to the AbilityRef-removal cleanup (surfaced, NOT silent): the FrameId server-writer +
the 2 class-HUD re-points (ClassPrepPortalHudSystem/MetaShopHudSystem) + HudSystem's ability
bar. Rationale: AbilityRef is still baked + set (EquipSystem/ClassSwapUtil), so ClassForAbility
remains a valid class signal through the transition; FrameId is baked ready. No feel regression.

kronic 12f86c86de LANTERN P1 step 2: AbilityFireSystem socket restructure + SpawnId repack
The netcode core of the 4-socket kit (Phase1_Combat_Gym_Build_Spec §1,§2,§5; review NP-1/
RS-1/DB-1/DB-3):
- PlayerInput: +4 Socket0..3 InputEvents + Burst-safe GetSocket(i); legacy Fire kept vestigial.
- PlayerInputGatherSystem: gather sockets from keyboard 1..4 (+gamepad RT/LB/RB); socket 0 also
  fires on the legacy primary (right-click / pad LT) as a bridge.
- AbilityFireSystem: query dropped to 4 type args (PlayerInput/PlayerFacing/LocalTransform/
  GhostOwner) + BufferLookup<AbilitySocket>/ComponentLookup<SocketCooldown>/BufferLookup<
  EffectiveSocketStats> (the 7-arg-cap fix); loops 4 sockets; per-socket cooldown + per-socket
  effective stats; Cone + Projectile dispatch per socket (predict-spawn Projectile-only).
- ProjectileSpawnId.Pack: pure Burst-safe key owner14|socket2|fireCount12|fork4 so same-tick
  multi-socket projectiles never collide; AbilityFireSystem uses it.
L1 clean; L2 494/494 (+5 ProjectileSpawnId tests: distinct-per-socket, fork, owner, bit-ranges,
count-wrap). L3 two-player + rollback is the group-A gate (after step 2.5). Note: the client
feel layer (muzzle/anim) still reads the legacy cooldown until step 2.5; sockets bake empty
until content (step 4), so nothing fires in-game yet.

kronic b143eb6bb5 LANTERN P1 step 1b: per-socket effective-stats fold (additive)
Per Phase1_Combat_Gym_Build_Spec §7 (additive; legacy single EffectiveAbilityStats + its
fold stay until steps 2/2.5 migrate readers, then retired):
- EffectiveSocketStats: 4-wide derived (non-replicated) per-socket effective-stats buffer.
- PlayerAuthoring bakes it (4 rows).
- StatRecomputeSystem: a SECOND fold loop (separate query, under the 7-arg cap) folds each
  socket's SparkId blob base with the SHARED StatModifier band (uniform; per-Spark warping =
  Phase 4) into EffectiveSocketStats[i]; empty socket (SparkId 0) -> zeroed default.
  Fixed CS1654 by writing through a mutable local copy of the buffer handle.
L1 clean; L2 489/489 (new SocketFold_Folds_Per_Socket_With_Uniform_Band).

kronic 67095024b9 LANTERN P1 step 1: 4-socket kit data model (player-ghost re-bake)
Additive socket data model per Phase1_Combat_Gym_Build_Spec §3 (no behaviour; legacy
AbilityRef/AbilityCooldown left intact for the step-2 migration):
- AbilitySocket: cold per-socket loadout buffer (EquipmentSlot-modelled, [GhostField] byte
  SparkId, SendToOwnerType.All, 4 rows baked empty).
- SocketCooldown: hot owner-predicted per-socket cooldown (4x [GhostField] uint + Burst-safe
  switch indexer; SendToOwnerType.All for remote ability-feel parity with AbilityCooldown).
- FrameId: replicated [GhostField] byte frame/class signal (SendToOwner; the class source the
  socket model needs since no single ability id maps 1:1 to a class).
Baked onto the player ghost in PlayerAuthoring. L1 clean compile + domain reload.

kronic 831c41c711 Art: LANTERN A0 material foundation — palette atlas + 3 master materials
The material-decision keystone (Art_Direction_Lantern / Lantern_Art_Pipeline_Recipes):
one shared palette atlas + ~3 materials, zero per-asset texturing.
- PaletteAtlas.png: 8x8 swatch grid encoding the ontology (warm-gold light / corpse-green
  + cold-blue gloam / lure-red bait / white-hot conversion / neutral / steel); sRGB, point,
  no-mip, clamp, uncompressed.
- M_Lit_Palette (statics, Lit URP graph), M_Skinned_Palette (creatures/suits, the
  deformation-aware AnimatedLitShader with per-instance tint + vertex-colour), M_Emissive_Gloam
  (URP/Lit + HDR emission; hue/intensity = the gloam param axis). All wired to the atlas.

Dedicated master-shader graphs (flicker param, Hybrid-Per-Instance on statics) + the
style-proof scene are the next A0 steps. Verified by material values, not just a render.

kronic 6dcd8a243d World: critters + weather beats — AmbientLifeSystem (Phase 1.5b bundle 4)
Client-only, procedural, zero netcode — a sibling of AmbientMotionSystem,
biome-keyed + camera-following. Three cosmetic beats: fleeing critters (ground
bugs + a few birds that dart out of the flee radius = the scatter beat,
biome-tinted, recycled at the ring edge), drifting cloud-shadow discs, and
Blight-room-only double-blink directional lightning flash + delayed thunder
(dedicated flash light -> no RenderSettings fight with WorldAtmosphereSystem).
Reuses the FeedbackFx disc/scorch primitives + procedural SFX. Live knobs in
AmbientLifeConfig. 474/474 EditMode; live-verified at base (flee confirmed).

kronic 4febf3dfe2 Hazard: Blight geyser — permanent periodic both-sides AoE (Phase 1.5b bundle 3)
Review-first netcode slice (design review wf_900e9965-8f0 -> 11 folded;
post-impl wf_5c8299f8-299 clean). A PERMANENT periodic telegraphed AoE in
Blight-biome rooms only; one new [GhostField] uint NextEruptTick.

- Geyser component + GeyserEruptSystem (server): inverted invalid-tick guard
  (a baked-0 tick must NEVER erupt -> lazy-stamps born-correct instead of the
  party-wiping per-tick barrage), inline both-sides gather (SourceNetworkId=-1),
  reschedule = now + period (never +=), never destroyed.
- GeyserTelegraphSystem (client): absolute-tick growing warning disc +
  erupt burst on the >0->=<0 crossing, latched per NextEruptTick + arm-guard
  (never edge-detects the replicated field -> no phantom on 0->stamp /
  relevancy re-entry). Reuses ScorchDecalSystem + DynamicLightSystem.
- Seeded in RoomFieldSystem (Blight-gated on plan.Biome, born-correct staggered
  stamp from live ServerTick), GeyserFieldSpawner + authoring wired into the
  Gameplay subscene. Geyser.prefab duplicated from ResourceNode (no collider).
- BuildDisc promoted to FeedbackFx (shared with the barrel fuse ring).
- 474/474 EditMode incl. the unstamped-storm regression; live no-storm end-to-end.

kronic 649f656833 Decals: explosion scorch pool + cover damage-cracks + room-arena scars (Phase 1.5b bundle 2)
All procedural, client-only, observe-only in PresentationSystemGroup, zero
netcode surface (read existing replicated state). Shared FeedbackFx decal
primitives (scorch blob + crack star meshes + transparent decal material).
ScorchDecalSystem: static RequestScorch queue -> pooled fading discs
(mirrors DynamicLightSystem), wired from the barrel boom, reusable by the
geyser. CoverDamageSystem: crack accretion keyed on BlightClutter.Remaining
(Variant 4) + proximity-gated shatter-scorch. RoomDressingSystem: persistent
arena scars on a distinct hash sub-stream, torn down with dressing. Knobs in
DecalConfig. Cover cracks use decals (not URPMaterialPropertyBaseColor) because
the Synty prop shader is not Hybrid-Per-Instance.

kronic 4e1ea3ecb9 World: baked splat ground — unique multi-texture base per biome, path/arena wear baked in, HP detail layer
Second ground iteration ("better but could be further improved"): the remaining
plainness was single-texture ground — noise only modulated brightness, never
MATERIAL. Now each biome bakes a unique 1024 splat-blended base map (zero
repetition at macro scale) with the fine texture moved to the detail slot as a
high-pass layer at real tiling:

- Meadow: grass + dirt + clover patches masked by fbm; the worn paths
  (storage->warpgate, storage->base-gate) and a congregation-wear disc at the
  storage crystal are baked INTO the splat as organic dirt zones (exact
  plane-UV mapping probed: u=0.5-x/90 — both axes inverted).
- Arid: sand + sand2 + arid-dirt patches + a subtle arena-wear disc at the
  quad center (= the room origin on both quads) + warm/cool hue drift.
- Detail slot: generated 2048 high-pass (full - 128-blur, 1.4x) of the
  grass/sand textures, LINEAR import, tiled 22x/26x — crisp up close, the
  splat carries identity at distance.
- Superseded assets removed: the overlay WornPath quads + material + texture
  (double-darkened over the baked wear and caught fog as a ghostly rectangle)
  and the old macro-noise detail textures.

Biome tint MPB + normals unchanged and still active. Measured ground luminance
0.30/0.33 (edit ambient) — play fog/dark ambient pulls it down; tints remain
the one-line brightness knob.

kronic 9670465e25 World: flora feel fix — kill double-animation (root sway off, shader wind is the idle motion) + thin flowers
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.

kronic 2fc5ae9a10 World: ground bundle — macro-blend ground materials, per-room dressing scatter, biome ground tint, base flora + worn paths
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

kronic eb7f572168 Fix: barrel fuse shows its blast radius + burns ~1.5s (was 0.6s)
Operator feel report: the explosion radius was unreadable and the fuse
too short to react to. Two changes:

- Tuning.BarrelFuseTicks 36 -> 90 (~1.5s): long enough to READ the
  danger and walk out, and better for baiting enemies onto a lit
  barrel.
- WorldFeedbackSystem draws a pulsing ground DISC at exactly
  Tuning.BarrelExplodeRadius under every lit fuse (keyed on the same
  replicated Remaining=0-on-a-live-barrel cue as the boom split; one
  shared pulsing material; removed via the existing prune path).

Verified live: disc appeared 0.07s after the pop (first fuse
snapshot), persisted to the boom at 1.54s, scale read exactly 3.25 =
the true detonation radius; 470/470 EditMode; console clean.

kronic bbf418e779 Hazard: destructible cover — carve-able rocks that genuinely block until broken
Phase 1.5 long-term #8, the LAST 1.5 item (design review wf_e14dd739-069:
both HIGHs + the distinct MEDs verified before the session limit ate the
duplicate verifiers; unverified leftovers reasoned-closed in the spec).

Cover = a BlightClutter ghost (Variant 4) with a baked Environment-layer
BoxCollider: the runtime ghost's collider joins BuildPhysicsWorld ->
blocks the player CC and the enemy sweep while alive, and the gap opens
the instant the entity dies. Both hit paths already break it (the
clutter chassis); 8 hits to carve.

Review folds:
- HIGH: the 07-07 anti-stuck nudge would phase enemies THROUGH cover
  after ~1.5s (it exists to prevent room soft-locks). The nudge is now
  COVER-AWARE: a SphereCast identifies the blocker; a live BlightClutter
  ghost suppresses the phase (no soft-lock possible - the blocker is
  destructible); static-geometry wedges still nudge.
- HIGH: yield==durability made tanky cover an economy faucet. Deposit
  is DECOUPLED from the decrement at both hit sites: ScrapPerHit=0 =
  breaks in Remaining hits, yields NOTHING; fractional POSITIVE yields
  still credit >=1 (the B1 immortal-sink test pinned this - zero means
  zero, positive floors to 1).
- MEDs: HitRadius 1.2 (visual core, not a shot-eating disc), NO cover
  in Boss rooms (no boss depenetration backstop), scatter keep-out >=7u
  from the room origin (player landing + portal), Variant=4 explicit
  (the clutter block's explosive reroll cannot leak).
- Old static layer removed: 8 WorldColliders_RoomCover colliders
  (subscene) + the RoomCover_Visuals root (Game.unity).

Verified live: 3 cover ghosts spawned with SOLID baked colliders;
BLOCK - NudgeUntilTick stayed 0 across 3.5s of forced zero-progress
(old code arms at 1.5s); DEPENETRATE - an enemy shoved inside a live
rock exited to 1.7u (backstop holds against ghost colliders); CARVE -
the rock died to the real sweep and the spot probed OPEN. 470/470

kronic cd607ae156 Hazard: exploding barrels — fused explosive clutter, friendly-fire bait
Phase 1.5 environmental hazard v1 (design-review wf_2cb10454-fdf: 13
findings confirmed + folded; Build Spec in the vault). ~25% of room
clutter seeds as EXPLOSIVE (Variant 3 on the existing replicated byte
- zero new GhostFields/prefabs/RPCs).

The FUSE is the review's fold - one mechanism closes both HIGHs:
- Pop sites (projectile sweep + isServer-gated melee harvest) do NOT
  destroy an explosive: they zero the replicated Remaining + add a
  server-only BarrelFuse (~36 ticks). The client sees Remaining=0 on a
  still-alive barrel across snapshots -> unambiguous fuse cue, and
  booms at despawn ONLY when cached Remaining<=0 - a teardown despawn
  carries Remaining>0, so portal-advance teardowns can never fire
  false booms (HIGH #1).
- HazardExplosionSystem (server, plain group, presence-gated on
  BarrelFuse, never lifecycle-gated) detonates at ExplodeTick: radius
  damage to LIVING enemies AND players (boss-slam player filter
  verbatim; friendly fire = the bait mechanic), SourceTick stamped at
  detonation = the authoring moment (HIGH #2: the authored-tick
  contract dash i-frames negate against), SourceNetworkId=-1 (the
  environment convention - a player id would consume Charger
  whiff-punish windows). Fuse rides the RoomTag'd barrel -> teardown
  cleans lit barrels free.
- Lit barrels are unhittable at both snapshot sites (no double-pop).
- Client: WorldFeedback caches Variant -> boom-vs-puff split (big
  burst + light flash + boom SFX vs the old puff); DynamicLightSystem
  gives Variant-3 barrels a red danger glow that STROBES once fused.

Verified: 470/470 EditMode (4 new: fused pop instead of destroy +
unhittable, both-sides damage w/ -1 source + authored tick, dead-player
+ radius filters, unelapsed-fuse inert); live smoke - seeded 3/8
explosive, real-sweep pop, CLIENT observed the fuse cue on the live
ghost, pinned bait enemy took exactly 26 (30->4), walk-out escape
confirmed; console clean.

kronic a335ca3f21 Feel: attack distinctness — per-kind telegraph colours, windup voices, spit light
Every enemy kind now has a unique read on the existing replicated
state (client-only, zero netcode):

- Telegraph COLOURS per EnemyTelegraph.Kind: grunt orange, charger
  crimson (boss shares it - shapes already differ: cone/wedge/ring),
  spitter toxic-green lane, swarmer yellow. Shapes were already
  per-kind; they all rendered the same HDR red.
- Windup VOICES at the onset edge (the existing _prevWindup edge +
  strike-beep distance gate): grunt low thud, charger rising roar,
  spitter wet hiss, swarmer chitter - kinds read by EAR before the
  telegraph ramps.
- Projectile light colour by ownership in DynamicLightSystem: owned
  shots stay player-cyan, un-owned (Spitter spit) glows toxic green
  (EnemyProjectileColor knob).

Verified live: 12 s combat histogram shows zones rendering with
EnemyDanger_K0 (grunt) + EnemyDanger_K1 (charger) materials keyed to
real windups (screenshot); 466/466 EditMode; console clean. Remaining
distinctness depth (per-kind anim clips, creature locomotion) rides
the parallel Blender workstream.
