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.

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).

Adversarial pre-code review (wf_c7575828-934; 23 agents, 0 failures) over the Phase 1
combat-gym design raised 19 findings (8 CONFIRMED + 11 PARTIAL, 0 refuted) and caught
design-breakers before code:
- SpawnId bit budget exhausted (owner16|fireCount12|fork4) -> repack owner14|socket2|
fireCount12|fork4 so 4 sockets don't collide/desync.
- "KEEP as-is" client feel layer is a real migration (CombatFeedback/PlayerAnimationDrive/
HUD read the reworked AbilityRef/AbilityCooldown) + needs a new replicated class signal.
- predict-spawn is Projectile-only (Aoe/Hitscan/decoy = Cone-precedent server-only spawn);
Blink = velocity-blink in its own system (not a transform teleport); SocketCooldown hot
not cold; EffectiveAbilityStats 4-wide; windup needs a rollback-safe resolve tick;
Harpooner reel + player zone = new server-only code, not salvage.
Verdict: pass-with-changes on all 3 lenses, no redesign. Phase1_Combat_Gym_Build_Spec =
the implementation contract (8-step build order, wire/bake churn, open risks, ledger).
DR-050 records it; pre-review design -> superseded.

Adversarial design review (wf_aa6fb661-e25; 22 agents, 0 failures) over the world-model
proposal + ground-truth code raised 18 findings (12 CONFIRMED + 6 PARTIAL, 0 refuted) and
caught real design-breakers before any code:
- DP-1/RS-1 (HIGH): the seed model was self-contradictory (RunMapMath regenerates the WHOLE
graph per seed, incompatible with a persistent pinned prefix) -> split: graph topology is
a pure function of WorldSeed ONLY; DescentSalt re-knots content; pinning freezes PinnedSalt.
- NR-2/RS-3 (HIGH): salvaged respawn warps a dead Wick to base -> splits the co-located party
-> in-pocket death; warp gated behind party-wipe; revive is new code, not salvage.
- DP-2 (HIGH): born-correct restore is per-entry lazy replay, not a boot one-shot.
- NR-1 phantom-kill CombatFeedback fix; NR-3 enemy wind-up gated on the light-union;
RS-2 RegionTag->PocketTag is a ~23-site semantic rewrite, not a rename.
World_Model_Build_Spec.md = the review-hardened contract (all 18 folded, findings ledger,
build order, open risks). DR-049 records the decision. Spike -> reviewed; proposal -> superseded.
New forks parked (dark-contact policy, lantern placement, END-1/EB-1 mothball timing).

Bundle 4 (critters + weather beats) shipped; all four World-Alive-II bundles
done. Next = the operator's Phase 1.5 gate lap.

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.

Session log Part C (execution + validation evidence), roadmap stabilize #2
ticked, CLAUDE.md gains the MeshCollider-bakes-only-if-Read/Write gotcha
(38.4 KB, in budget), validation-harness.md gains the EditorApplication.update
guardian + EditorPrefs handoff pattern.
