Defer the in-game skinned-enemy animated check to a purpose-built semi-permanent
gym scene (Phase 1's 'no world - a gym') with spawn-a-chosen-enemy tooling, rather
than hacking the shared wave roster. Survives the coming enemy-system rework; the
3 skinned prefabs are ready to drop in.

animationType=Human (enum 3, not Generic); CharactersAvatar.isHuman=true.
CLAUDE.md correct; the grounding agent misread the enum.

EnemyDrowner: Emissive-Gloam eyes bone-parented to Head + boneEntityStrippingMode
=None (attachments ride the rig). New skinned prefabs EnemyGrindylow +
SuitFrame_Bathynaut. Pipeline run 3x -> A1 repeatability exceeded.

A0: all 3 master shaders now present (Emissive-Gloam authored as HLSL w/
in-shader flicker). A1: skinned recipe proven for a LANTERN creature
(EnemyRigTools.BuildDrowner -> EnemyDrowner.prefab); in-game animated run +
custom-kit reattach + suit/2nd-creature still open. Flags the Generic-vs-
Humanoid rig-type discrepancy vs CLAUDE.md to reconcile.

EnemyRigTools.BuildDrowner (menu ProjectM/Animation) — SciFiSpace Crew_Male
body (same rig/atlas/avatar as the player) through the proven DR-023 path:
EnemyDrowner.prefab = ownerless interpolated ghost + AnimatedLitShader
(Skinned-Palette) gloam material + AC_EnemyTopDown + RigDefinitionAuthoring.
Structurally identical to the shipping werewolf/charger enemies -> animates
in-game via the same EG/Rukhanka path. (Renders only in the baked ECS world,
not a plain scene; ArtStaging keeps the static bake for art review.)

ProjectM/EmissiveGloam — URP HLSL, HDR emission (Bloom-catching), with the
readability 'steady=true / flicker=false' channel as a material param
(_FlickerAmount), no script. Applied to the staging flora bulbs (cold, flicker).
The other two master shaders already exist (Lit URP graph, AnimatedLitShader).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Beacon left unmodulated (steady=true light); cold flora gutter on Perlin flicker
(flicker=false light) so the warm/cold read survives with hue removed.

Phase-0 status + Workstream A0/A1 callouts: the in-engine ArtStaging style-proof
scene is built (prop+creature+suit triad under murk + light-is-territory pool
lighting, passes full/200px/grayscale); statics recipe validated in-engine;
skinned Rukhanka bake + 3 master shaders still open.

Per Phase1_Combat_Gym_Build_Spec §6 (the Blink Spark = a second, socketed dash):
- AbilityArchetype += Movement (falls through AbilityFireSystem; a sibling system drives it).
- AbilityId += the 5 Phase-1 Sparks (DecoyWisp/HookPull/Vortex/Blink/LightZone).
- 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.
L1 clean; L2 494/494. Dead until a Blink Spark def is socketed (ability-database SO = next).

DebugInputInjectionSystem (#if UNITY_EDITOR) gains FireSocket(i, frames) + per-socket hold
frames + the OnUpdate socket-event sets, mirroring the legacy Fire injection. Drives the real
gather->command->prediction->AbilityFireSystem path per socket for headless validation.
Used to validate group-A live (instant-play ServerWorld+ClientWorld): socket 0&1 = a projectile
Spark, injected same-frame -> maxSrvProj=2, maxCliProj=2 (server==client parity),
distinctSpawnIds=2 with distinctSocketBits=2 (the SpawnId desync fix confirmed LIVE), both
per-socket cooldowns advanced. Netcode half of the group-A gate: PASS.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per Phase1_Combat_Gym_Build_Spec §8 (the "KEEP as-is" feel layer was really a migration):
- 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.

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.
