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).

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.

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).

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.

Owned structures (Turret/Wall/Fabricator/Pylon) now read cyan-owned via a dedicated Mat_StructureOwned_Cyan (dark desaturated-cyan body + a subtle cyan self-illum below the bloom gate) - replacing the shared PolygonFantasyKingdom atlas + M_Turret so there's no atlas bleed. Tuned dimmer than the Core so the Engine Core stays the single luminance peak. Completes the faction palette: dark ground / cyan owned (Core bright, structures muted) / amber Ore / orange Husks. Edit-mode-instantiated + screenshot-verified. Follow-up (deferred): the research's dark-when-unpowered dynamic (emissive only on active/powered structures) needs a small presentation system reading structure state.

Research-grounded transform of the base arena from a bright meadow into a dark 'Aether Siege Outpost' reading as a concentric bullseye (Core -> Ore ring -> dark perimeter). Camera (Game.unity): pitch 45->58, FOV 55->44, dist 13->17, lead 1->0.5, follow 8->6, targetH 1.3 (telephoto so Core + arena read together, near-iso enemy spacing). Lighting: sun dimmed+cooled 1.6->0.9, ambient 1.0->0.62 dark-cool, fog Linear 18->42 dark; WorldAtmosphere base darkened. Post-FX (PostFX_Daylight): ACES kept, bloom gated (thr 1.0->1.2 + clamp 10), exposure/contrast up, saturation +6->0, added ShadowsMidtonesHighlights cool-shadow/warm-highlight split, vignette 0.15->0.32. Ground re-tinted dark teal-grey; ~390 meadow-cheer objects cut. Core staged as hero (crystal 14m->4.6m cyan glow + cyan beacon light). Ore ring pulled into the arena (23.5-27m -> 6-11.5m, count 10->12) and recoloured AMBER (new Mat_OreNode_Amber, emissive, no atlas bleed).

Mined Ore now has an ongoing sink: a ledger-fed Fabricator converts Ore->Charge
(1 Ore -> 3 Charge / 30t) and turrets spend Charge per shot, soft-failing (no
shot, no cooldown burn) when the shared pool runs dry.
- ResourceId.Charge=4 rides the existing [GhostField] StorageEntry ledger (no new wire).
- TurretFireSystem: single ledger resolve + atomic spend / soft-fail / partial-refund.
- Fabricator.InputFromLedger (byte, server-only) feeds input from the shared ledger,
read live in-loop so two machines split a finite pool; both modes deposit to ledger.
- HudSystem: violet Charge chip + global quiet-turret cue when siege && Charge==0.
- StorageMath.TotalOf backs the affordability read; catalog re-enables the Fabricator (4 entries).
See DR-033.

Replace every placeholder-cube ghost prefab with nested Synty (PolygonFantasyKingdom) models: ResourceNode->crystal, Turret->ballista, Wall->spike palisade, Pylon->crystal beacon, Storage->chest, UpgradePickup->gem, BlightClutter->rock chunk (nest as a Model child, strip colliders, reset the [GhostField] root Scale, atlas for bare FBXs). Gameplay subscene: place the BaseFieldSpawner, trim Harvester/Fabricator/Conveyor from the build palette. CycleDirector prefab bakes the schedule siege config. See DR-031.

Extends the DR-022 player pipeline to Husk enemies. A Husk is an ownerless
interpolated ghost = structurally a remote player, so the new client-only
EnemyAnimationDriveSystem mirrors PlayerAnimationDriveSystem's remote path:
velocity from LocalTransform-delta (prevPos cache, pruned every frame), facing
from LocalTransform.Rotation (AnimParamMath.PlanarForward), maxSpeed from baked
EnemyStats, IsAttacking from the already-replicated AttackWindup telegraph. No
new [GhostField], no server/asmdef/ghost-hash change.
Monster-mash roster: Werewolf (Grunt), Werewolf-Undead (Swarmer), Kaiju (Brute),
built by the reusable, GUID-preserving EnemyRigTools editor tool (materials +
AC_EnemyTopDown + EnemyAttackWindup clip + 3 rigged prefabs). WaveSystem now
preserves the baked variant Scale (was reset to 1 by LocalTransform.FromPosition).
See DR-023. EditMode 208/208; validated in Play (rigs skin, scales replicate,
locomotion + attack telegraph drive correctly).

Server-only production chains (never predicted): components + server systems + pure byte-only math (ProductionMath/ConveyorMath/MachineSlotMath), authoring + 3 machine prefabs wired into the Gameplay subscene, StructureCatalog rows, BuildPlace Direction/RuntimePlacedTag, Tuning, and 35 EditMode tests (catch-up gating, conveyor shuffle-invariance, SaveData v2 round-trip).

Add BefourStudios SciFi environment packs, Gabriel Aguiar VFX, and the
ShaderCrew Toon Shader embedded packages, plus combat/enemy/wave/death
gameplay systems and supporting vault docs/screenshots.
Rename 11 vendor textures from uppercase .PNG/.HDR to lowercase so the
case-sensitive Git LFS filters (*.png/*.hdr) match on case-sensitive
filesystems (Linux CI, case-sensitive macOS), not just locally where
core.ignorecase=true masks the gap. Each .meta moved with its asset so
GUID references are preserved. All ~1000 binaries tracked via LFS.
