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
EditMode; console clean.

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.

The BlightClutter destructible-ghost chain (per-room seeding, unified
DR-018-safe sweep, melee + projectile breaking, personal-inventory
drops) already existed end-to-end - the roadmap item's gap was FEEL:
- Visual: prefab Model mesh swapped SM_Env_Rock_Chunk_01 (read as
scenery) -> SM_Prop_Barrel_01 (FantasyKingdom, same proven atlas
material). Base-pivot barrel offset -1 on the Model child (scatter
y=1 is the capsule plane - the base-pivot float gotcha).
- One-hit pop: prefab Remaining 8 -> 2 (both hit paths decrement by
max(1,(int)ScrapPerHit)=2, so one swing/shot shatters); authoring
default kept in sync.
- Density: MaxClutterPerRoom 6 -> 8.
Verified live: 8 barrels seeded in a combat room, grounded (screenshot);
an injected projectile through the real ResourceHarvestSystem sweep
popped one barrel in ONE hit (8 -> 7) and credited 2 Biomass; 466/466
EditMode, console clean.

Art look LOCKED by the operator from the artlook_* side-by-sides:
clean dark-Synty; PixelOutline._MasterEnabled=0 shipped (feature stays
dev-toggleable via F3; other fullscreen effects remain backlog).
New AmbientMotionSystem (client-only PresentationSystemGroup, the
"world alive" anti-static beat, zero netcode):
- per-biome DRIFT particles from one world-space emitter following the
camera (meadow motes / arid wind-blown dust / cavern motes / blight
spores; palette keys on camera-X region + replicated room biome,
mirroring WorldAtmosphereSystem's switch)
- idle SWAY on the ACTIVE cosmetic flora prop roots near the camera
(LOD children follow the root; probed: none static-batched)
- walk-through RUSTLE: flora brushed by the local player
(GhostOwnerIsLocal idiom) gets a decaying energy shake
Rotations write around a cached base (lossless when toggled off);
knobs in AmbientMotionConfig (scene object, code defaults when absent).
Verified live: drift palettes exact in both regions (meadow
0.62/0.85/0.60 -> arid 0.85/0.68/0.45 on region cross), flora beside
the player rocked (0,0)->(-4.0,+5.0) deg within the rustle+sway
envelope, 466/466 EditMode, console clean. Discovery for follow-up:
the BASE biome's flora props are authored INACTIVE (84 bushes etc.) -
the base has no sway targets until some are re-enabled.

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.

Field report: walking onto hilly-looking colliders (the new convex rock
hulls are ramps) raised the character's Y, and with gravity zero +
SnapToGround off nothing ever brought it back down - the character
floated and its shadow drifted away.
Fix inside CharacterProcessor.PhysicsUpdate: capture the pre-update Y
and restore it (plus zero RelativeVelocity.y) after the CC sequence -
the character update itself can never change the movement plane, while
spawn/teleport writes made outside the update stay honored.
Deterministic + idempotent (rollback-safe), identical on server +
predicted client.
Verified live: player shoved into a cover-hull sloped edge decollided
~1 u horizontally with Y bit-exact at 1.0000 (the case that previously
rode up the slope); 466/466 EditMode, console clean.

Phase 1.5 stabilize #2 (gate-approved incl. missing-collider adds + the
07-09 height/solid-sweep directive). New ColliderFitTools (Editor,
audit/apply, idempotent) refits the subscene Environment colliders to
the Game.unity render meshes:
- Boundary rings rebuilt 16/24/24 -> 54/82/82 segments (~3.5-4 u arcs)
around the DESIGN radii (30/52 - fitting from the current segments
ratchets inward on re-runs), inner faces fitted to ankle-band
(0.45-2.5) cliff vertices so the wall stops the player before any
visibly rising skirt.
- 8 room cover boxes -> convex MeshColliders of the actual CoverRock_*
meshes (needed Read/Write on 2 PNB rock meshes: a MeshCollider bakes
ONLY if the mesh is readable - InvalidOperationException per bake,
classic scene view still shows the collider).
- 11 landmarks: hint-matched claim-once OBB fits (cabin/tent walk-into
fixed; well/sign/artefact invisible walls removed).
- 85 adds: generic solid sweep (>=0.5 u tall, non-flora, walk-band
geometry, gated by the LOCAL fitted wall radius) - cacti, succulents,
boulders, bone piles, small rocks, craters (full set-piece blocks),
crates, tree trunk, turbine poles, dish, solar rigs. Collider tops
pinned to the visual top (cap 3): nothing solid-looking is
walk-through or walk-over. Elevated-only geometry (rotors, panels)
excluded - no phantom ground walls.
Verified: baked-CollisionWorld probes (ring closure 32/32/region, 10/10
solidity samples across base + both room slots, open ground free,
server==client parity at 323 static bodies), enemy backstop live smoke
(enemy embedded in the new crater block depenetrated out and re-engaged
across ~12 u; 4 others converged normally through ~40 obstacles),
466/466 EditMode, console clean.

- New Server/PlayerResolve.TryResolve single-sources the RPC
SourceConnection -> NetworkId -> conn->player map resolve (3 sites:
ClassSelectReceive, PrepPurchase, DebugCommandReceive); EntityManager
reads keep it source-gen-safe from Bursted receivers.
- ecb.Dispose() after Playback in 9 Temp-ECB systems (explicit-lifetime
hygiene).
- The TuningConfig.GetOrDefault(ref state) variant of this tail was
REVERTED: state.GetEntityQuery in OnUpdate trips the Entities
"creates a query during OnUpdate" diagnostic per system per world
(caught in Play smoke) - the SystemAPI.TryGetSingleton idiom is
already source-gen-optimal, confirming the original B4 deferral.
Verified: 466/466 EditMode green on the final tree, console clean,
Play smoke 0 errors.

- 10 EditMode files: every bare trailing world.Dispose() now inside using(world){} (single-world) or a [TearDown]+List<World> (the multi-world reject-matrix tests in BoonApplyTests/RouteSelectSystemTests) — an assertion failure can no longer leak the World and mask the true first failure. No test logic changed.
- HudSystem: collapse the blank-line run before the class close; trim the extracted route-map clause from the READY-panel comment.
466/466 EditMode tests pass.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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).

Lap-1 Fabricator affordable (StartingOre 50->90); mine prompt shows IN the room;
Return no longer false-completes on death (WasOnExpedition latch + soft timeout,
never the 1-tick Returning edge); HUD keeps room/siege/ammo cues during combat
steps; Welcome needs an explicit confirm; READY panel shows FINAL DEFENSE when
goal-full; dev Force-Each-Launch hidden from public Settings. GoalProgress.Target
4->2 (~10-20 min demo). Onboarding tests updated to the new contracts (456/456).

Boss bar reconstructs the true max client-side (Health.Max unreplicated) via
Kind==Charger + expedition-pos filter; boss slam telegraph = a full ground ring
at BossSlamRadius; IsAttacking OR's IsLunging. Player body flash on hurt (distinct
red, jitter-safe threshold). Dash toward movement input when moving else facing.
Warrior cone: muzzle-cue suppressed (cone arc is its cue). Minimal finisher-only
hit-stop (PrototypeCameraRig.Hold, behind FeelConfig flag; never Time.timeScale).

BossState (server-only) + BossAISystem: sole mover, seek -> telegraphed
radial slam (AttackWindup) -> phase-2 speed + swarmer summon. Excluded from
the EnemyAISystem Charger pass; knockback-immune at all 3 stamp sites;
arena-anchored spawn; scaled Health/HitRadius/AttackRange. Grunt windup now
commits in its last ~30% (whiffs out-of-range); Charger stagger roots; grunt
speed 4.2->5.2; swarmer telegraph synced. SweptMove + zone-enemy spawn-stamp
extracted to shared helpers. Zero new [GhostField].

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).

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.

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
the local player resolves, frozen tint if BodyFlashEnabled toggles off mid-flash, render-child
capture with no recovery, OnDestroy GO symmetry.

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

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).

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.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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).
SaveData stays v5. Docs: DR-042 build record + forks resolved, CLAUDE.md
base-loop line, Backlog (A done).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- DR-042 (new): canonical loop re-shape — win-driver moves from base-siege
survival to expedition clears; blind scheduled siege retired; base siege
becomes retaliation consequence. Build order A (coherence) -> B (retaliation)
-> C (legibility) -> D (Slice 4 persistent meta).
- Backlog/Path_to_Fun/Home reconciled to the expedition-driven direction;
Slice 3 + Combat Depth marked built.
- DR-036 (END-2) flagged superseded-in-part; DR-034 (END-1) repurposed (Core
is a consequence, not the win-gate); DR-037 forward-pointer to DR-042.
- CombatFeedbackSystem: fix enemy health bar (sprite-less Filled Image ignored
fillAmount -> size via anchorMax.x).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.

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.
368/368 EditMode green + clean netcode Play smoke. Docs: DR-040 ->
built, session log, CLAUDE.md cross-region tag-reaudit rule.
