H2 was the audit's sharpest finding: in Game.unity every player spawned
with four ability sockets pointing at SparkIds the baked AbilityDatabase
did not contain, so all four resolved to Damage=0 Range=0 Cooldown=0.
Melee and dash were the only working combat verbs in the built game.
Cause: the 5 LANTERN Sparks were added to GymSub.unity and never to
Gameplay.unity.
- Gameplay.unity's AbilityDatabaseAuthoring now carries all 9 defs (the
4 legacy ids keep their numbers; Sparks are 5-9) with their effect
prefabs. Live-verified in Play: sockets now read
Vortex 8dmg/6range/420cd, Blink 20range/1cd, Hook & Pull
15dmg/25range/120cd, Light Zone 6dmg/5range/480cd.
- Removed 6 orphaned authoring GameObjects the purge left behind in the
subscene (StorageSpawner, StructureCatalog, ItemDatabase,
SpitterProjectileConfig, BoonCatalog, MetaCatalog) and the RoomDressing
object in Game.unity — the latter is what scattered 47 Synty desert
props into the seabed murk.
- Deleted 4 now-unreferenced prefabs: EnemySpit, Pylon, Storage, Wall.
- Frame rename (M4): FrameKind.Warrior/Ranger -> Bathynaut/Harpooner,
93 identifier sites. Byte values pinned (2/3), so no ghost-hash or save
impact. The menu said "Warrior"/"Ranger" to players three weeks after
the frames were renamed in design.
- Menu now reads LANTERN / "Light is territory — co-op descent" instead
of "PROJECT M" / "Frontier colony — co-op" (the Awakening-Engine
tagline, two directions stale).
- Removed the "Replay Tutorial" button and the Settings ONBOARDING
section: both drove coach-marks DR-051 deleted. The settings fields
still round-trip so existing settings files load unchanged.
All four project scenes + all prefabs verified free of missing scripts.
Server measured at 59.6 ticks/s against a 60 Hz target. 295/295 green.

- WaveDirector + ZoneEnemyDirector rosters re-pointed (ORDER-CRITICAL before prefab
deletion: null-skip pools collapse kinds): [Drowner, Grindylow, Drowner, Drowner]
(grunt/charger(boss)/spitter-slot/swarmer-slot; ranged+pack kinds fall back to
Drowner until LANTERN kinds land in Phase 2).
- WorldColliders_Landmarks + WorldColliders_Props deleted from the subscene (their
visuals died with the host-scene biomes -> they were invisible walls). Boundary
rings + room cover + all spawners/configs kept.
- 10 old-theme enemy prefabs deleted (Enemy, Brute, Charger, ChargerMuscle,
Spitter, Swarmer(+Undead), Werewolf(+Undead), Kaiju); EnemySpit kept for a
future ranged kind. Zero dangling GUID refs (verified).
Play-verified in Game: Drowner wave spawns, seeks, strikes; AFK player dies and
respawns (full loop); no console errors.

Gym.unity = the dev-test host re-based on DevSandbox (camera + DebugOverlay dev UI
+ world visuals), its SubScene repointed to GymSub. GymSub.unity = a fresh minimal
baked subscene (PlayerSpawner, AbilityDatabase with all 9 abilities incl. the 5
Sparks, NetCodePhysicsConfig, WorldCollisionConfig, ProjectileSpawner, GymRoster =
GymTag + Drowner/Grindylow roster). Open Gym.unity + Play → GymTag clean-spawn with
a per-frame Spark loadout; on-demand SpawnEnemy. Subscene GameObjects still named
*_Copy (cosmetic); visuals = the operator's future underwater-match pass.

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.

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 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.

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.
456/456 EditMode.

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).

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.

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.

Uncommitted residue from the SL-4 visual-cohesion pass, swept up while
cleaning the worktree (unrelated to the 6.5 upgrade):
- Mat_StructureOwned_Cyan: _Color nudged to match _BaseColor (0.11,0.22,0.26)
- Gameplay.unity: a prop transform moved (0,1,8) -> (5.1,2.46,20.7)

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.

Data-driven ItemDatabase catalog + per-player replicated InventorySlot ([GhostField] OwnerSendType.All, a StatModifier twin). Harvest reroutes to the firing player's personal inventory (optional ComponentLookup<GhostOwner> in ResourceHarvestSystem; remainder/un-owned -> ledger); the G-key InventoryDepositRequest RPC moves the bag into the shared ledger the build economy spends. Catalog asset (Aether/Ore/Biomass + Stone Pickaxe) wired into the Gameplay subscene; read-only HUD inventory panel. ushort ItemId subsumes ResourceId; byte Category/Tier baked for gear-tier progression. Session-only (no SaveData bump).
Play-validated host+client: catalog baked into both worlds, the re-baked player ghost carries InventorySlot with a clean handshake, a server write replicates to the client owner, the deposit RPC round-trips, and the HUD renders catalog names. See DR-026.

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).

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
