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.

- 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.

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.

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.

Dark-ambient, dynamic-light-first look (RoR2/Death Scourges reference),
built filter-agnostic so the pixel style composes on top:
- New DynamicLightSystem (client-only, PresentationSystemGroup): pooled
point lights follow projectile ghosts; pulsing portal light during
RoomExplore (same ExpeditionPortalPos authority as the beacon); soft
resource-node glow that fades with harvest-shrink; short impact
FLASHES fed by CombatFeedbackSystem's burst funnel (EmitColored +
SpawnVfx -> RequestFlash). Knobs in DynamicLightConfig (scene object,
code defaults when absent).
- Atmosphere darkened: WorldAtmosphereConfig/System palettes moved to
the dark set (base cool dusk, arid burnt dusk, per-room biome consts
darkened); scene fog switched Linear -> ExponentialSquared (the
system's per-region DENSITY writes were dead in Linear mode);
trilight ambient lowered; directional 1.9 -> 1.05 slightly warm.
- 6 landmark mood lights (warpgate cyan, artefact violet x2, survey
camp warm x2, cabin warm); URP additional-lights-per-object 4 -> 8
(was starving the existing Aether lights).
- Art-look gate material: Assets/Screenshots/artlook_{base,room}_
pixel{ON,OFF}.png over the lit scene.
Verified: lights live in Play (20 static at base incl. new landmarks;
pooled dynamics active in-room: node glows + impact flashes), fog/
ambient values confirmed live, 466/466 EditMode, console clean.
