kronic c88e6f3c7a Art: AI-generated brass Mark-V diving helmet (replaces the golf-ball dome)
Scripted primitive helmets kept reading as golf-ball/blocky-robot, so generated a proper classic
brass Mark-V (Hyper3D text-to-3D): rounded copper bonnet, bolted round porthole, rivet seams, top
air-valve. Decimated 23k->2.3k tris, skinned to the Head bone, replaces the old dome + porthole kit
in the master .blend. Static staging GLB re-exported + ArtStaging updated (reads as a real diving
helmet). Gameplay body-swap (this helmet + brass armour + silhouette onto Player.prefab) is next.

kronic 2d47287b15 Art: propagate the Bathynaut overhaul to the gameplay player (kill the lamp-head)
Re-exported the skinned kit from the ONE master .blend with the reshaped diving helmet, grouped into
Metal/Beacon/Porthole SMRs. Darkened the helmet (M_Diver_Metal_Skinned flat gunmetal - the AnimatedLitShader
was multiplying the tint by the gold PaletteAtlas sample, so the atlas map is cleared to force the flat dark
base), kept the warm shoulder-lamp beacon, dimmed the porthole (M_Diver_PortholeGlow_Skinned), shifted the body
to a cool diver tone. Rebuilt Player.prefab via the proven PlayerRigTools graft chain. Verified live in
DevSandbox from the game camera: the gold-dome lamp is gone. Remaining full-match gap (brass-armour/teal-
undersuit split + the shoulder/boot silhouette edits) needs the Synty body replaced by the .blend body.

kronic 8df43b8307 Art: Bathynaut helmet reshape (kill golf-ball) + stronger silhouette
Reshaped the helmet dome from a squashed sphere into a diving-helmet form (modest vertical stretch +
flatter faceplate + chunky collar ring + bigger porthole bezel); broadened the outer shoulder pads and
beefed the boots for a heavier, more imposing silhouette. Master .blend is the single source; static
posed GLB re-exported + ArtStaging updated (connected instance, diver materials intact).

kronic 8b50753f93 Art: ArtStaging overhaul - game-cam POV system + Bathynaut character (no longer reads as a lamp)
Camera: runtime POV switcher (StagingCameraSwitcher; V/]/[ cycle, 1-4 jump) with POV_1_Game matching
the in-game rig (Pitch45/Dist13/FOV55) as the default + hero/front/close-up; deep-water SolidColor
clear kills the no-skybox corner bleed at the wide game framing.

Character (the 'reads like a lamp' fix, operator-directed): darkened the helmet to dark gunmetal with
a dim lit porthole and moved the warm beacon to the shoulder lamp (light is carried, not the head);
color-blocked the body into a brass-and-teal deep-sea-diver palette (brass armour / dark-teal
undersuit / dark-metal kit) for value contrast + identity at game scale; bulked the back tank-rig
silhouette. Master .blend keeps rig+pose+materials re-editable; posed static GLB reimported into the
connected prefab instance with instance material overrides reset to the GLB's diver materials.

kronic eaff8d16e3 Art: pose the Bathynaut suit out of T-pose (rig cleanup + posed static bake)
The suit .blend was rigged, but the base body/armour/head had vertex groups with NO Armature
modifier (why the export baked a static T-pose) and 2 orphan lamp parts were unweighted. Added the
modifiers, weighted the lamp parts to Spine_03, posed a grounded combat-ready stance (shoulders
down ~63deg, elbows braced forward ~22deg), baked the pose into static geometry (depsgraph
new_from_object) and re-exported. Master .blend keeps the rig+pose re-editable; the in-place GLB
overwrite flowed into the connected ArtStaging prefab instance (38 parts intact, materials +
extracted staging emissive preserved). Suit width 2.05m T-pose -> 1.04m posed; A0 silhouette now
reads from the top-down game camera.

kronic f3aec94c48 HUD: ability bar defaults hidden until a local player exists
Fixes the empty-bar leak into ArtStaging / menu / pre-connect: AbilityBarSystem.OnUpdate
early-returns when there is no valid NetworkTime, so the 'hide when no local player' line never
ran. Root now DisplayStyle.None at build, flips to Flex only when the local player is found —
also kills any pre-connect flash in gameplay.

kronic 1015f5d3fa Art: ArtStaging A0 value/composition rework (light-is-territory)
Global fill cut (KeyWarm 1.25->0.15, CausticsSpot 32->9, GloamFill 0.5->0.22) so the scene
goes dark-except-where-ours-reaches; WarmPool point light -> downward warm SPOT = a defined
ground-territory disc that lights the suit top-down (a low point light was blasting the chest
into a blown bloom streak). Suit lamp + Drowner gloam emissives extracted from .glb sub-assets
to durable .mat assets (M_Suit_LampWarm_Staging, M_Drowner_GloamAccent_Staging). Recomposed the
triad (crate in-pool / Drowner faced-to-camera at the lit edge / suit center). Grayscale-verified:
the beacon dome is the value winner + the warm disc reads as territory. Suit pose still T-pose
(a Blender rig sitting; A3-adjacent).

kronic 5569fcd552 Fix: socket auto-recast at every cooldown reopen (raw InputBufferData IsSet = ever-pressed)
Netcode accumulates InputEvent counts on the wire; only the decoded component is delta-corrected.
AbilityFireSystem's windup resolve gated on raw IsSet, so after the first press every socket
re-fired the instant its cooldown reopened (live repro: recasts at exactly t3933/t4353 with zero
input). Gate is now a count-STEP vs the previous tick's command; missing prior command = no-fire.
Also lands the G6 ConeContactPending schedule machinery + the cone test fixture (wire-true
monotonic counts) + regression Cast_Never_Refires_When_The_Cooldown_Reopens. 430/430; live proof:
one tap -> one cast -> silence across 2+ reopens.

Cone/SpecialSlam damage lands at its visual contact via ConeContactPending (knob 32, 0=legacy;

kronic 0ff11fe2a9 Enemy hit-reacts: React/Stagger anim tiers off Health-drop edges (the Rukhanka-safe flinch)
SwordCombat React (1.4x, 0.3s pulse) + Stagger (1.2x, 0.55s) as Any-State
states on AC_EnemyTopDown via EnemyRigTools.WireEnemyHitReacts; driven by
EnemyAnimationDriveSystem's cache (now Pos/Hp/ReactUntil/Heavy) off
replicated Health drops. Windup-honesty gate: light reacts require
!IsAttacking (a sub-poise hit never visually cancels a live windup);
the heavy tier tracks the server's B2 poise break (stagger threshold 50
= finisher staggers, light flinches at the locked tuning). Knobs:
HitReactSeconds (0=off) / HitStaggerSeconds / HitReactStaggerDamage.
Replaces the review-cut positional vibrate (Rukhanka inverse-fold no-op).

recover 36 / dmg 36 (DPS 60 held) / contact 20 (20/12/25 per step) /

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.

GymSub bakes no WaveDirector (why sandbox enemies never spawned); the

EnemyAISystem passes exclude (planted; knockback stamps inert), spawned

  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,

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).

- 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.

Per connection, marks every ENEMY ghost OUTSIDE the player's lamp radius
IRRELEVANT (monsters in the dark aren't replicated — the gamma test). Modelled

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

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

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.

kronic b92cc7196b LANTERN P1: enemy-test gym tooling — on-demand spawn + GymTag clean-spawn
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 —
replacing the wave-roster hack per the roadmap's Enemy-test GYM direction.
GoInGameServerSystem takes a GymTag branch: bypass the meta-catalog spawn guard
(a fresh gym has no CycleDirector) + seed a default Spark loadout on keys 1-4.

Aoe/Hitscan archetype dispatch in AbilityFireSystem (both-worlds cooldown;
server-only ecb.Instantiate — the client-never-instantiates invariant; ZoneEffect
vs DecoyTag chosen by prefab membership). Harpooner REEL as a homing state
(ReelState + ReelSystem re-aim the hit Husk's KnockbackState toward the caster's
live position each tick; EnemyAISystem stays sole Position writer), stamped by
ProjectileDamageSystem on a Reel-flag hit. ZonePulseSystem (enemy-only periodic
AoE, caster attribution, no friendly fire, Vortex pull, born-0 lazy-stamp).
Decoy aggro in EnemyAISystem + DecoySystem despawn. AbilityDefBlob gains
EffectFlags (Reel) + DurationTicks. +3 ZonePulseSystem EditMode tests (497 green).

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).

Warm beacon brightest/tightest (true light strong), gloam flora dimmer/softer +
emissive dialed down, so warm-vs-cold reads by value, not hue alone.

Underwater staging: undulating seabed mesh (no platform edge), caustics
cookie spot, marine-snow particles, teal depth fog, and 'light is territory'

kronic 52818d0dd6 LANTERN P1 Group B: Blink Spark (Movement archetype) + BlinkSystem
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).

kronic 58c2eaca58 LANTERN P1: dev injector — socket-fire injection (enables the L3 netcode validation)
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.

kronic 21f609c6c4 LANTERN P1 step 2.5: client feel layer migrated to the socket kit
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.

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.
