DR-038 records Slice 1 (combat readability + HUD declutter) with the two reusable
netcode patterns: bake-client-safe for client-needed/server-owned/never-changes
data (EnemyTelegraph), and a [GhostEnabledBit] derived once/tick (IsLunging). Open
item: the operator visual fun-gate. Session log captures the design redirect +
Slice 1 build/validation.

Playtest of the single-arena slice (Scratch Notes 6152026) found it stale fast.
Answer the post-END-2 Decision Gate as continue/expand: re-scope off the fixed
June-30 demo to a co-op roguelite-ARPG — base = persistent buildable hub (never
resets), the procedural Expedition region = the required combat spine, two classes
(Warrior/Ranger), persistent meta (SaveData v6 later). Mission-as-Sortie model:
fulfils locked pillar #4, preserves the never-a-run-reset pillar; reverses DR-031's
expedition pause. Backed by an 8-agent design+feasibility pass (feasibility GREEN:
server-spawns-ghosts removes seed replication). Slice doc archived/superseded.
See DR-037.

Validated the 6.5 upgrade: 342/342 EditMode tests pass, no compile/Burst/
source-gen errors, and a clean netcode Play boot (ServerWorld+ClientWorld
connect, NetworkId handshake, in-game, ghost replication synced 23==23,
player owned-ghost spawned) -> the 6.6.0a6 "invalid wrapped network
interface" transport bug does NOT affect 6.5-stable. URP 17.5 render clean
(magenta scan 0/1564). The MaterialLocation.External FBX-import warnings are
benign 6.5 deprecation noise (2737 importers), import-time only.
Updates the CLAUDE.md stack table to 6.5.0 (net -13 bytes, under budget) and
adds the full session log.

Path A spine COMPLETE (14/14): Backlog SL-3 blocker cleared + marked done; Path_to_Fun END-2 done + banner; Milestones END-2 row. CLAUDE.md gains the END-2 gotcha line (replicate the outcome, don't client-derive; SiegeTimeout off during the final), net-zero via EB-1/EB-2/END-1/M7/inventory/build-grid condensations (40,445 then 40,510 w/ history note, under the 40,960 limit). DR-036 + session log capture the design, the operator forks (halt+banner, Target=4, SaveData v5), and the pre-coding + post-impl adversarial reviews.

DR-034 records the losable-Core decisions: CoreIntegrity on the global ghost,
the soft-loss edge inside CyclePhaseSystem, the Core-as-fallback-target and
despawn-on-breach forks, the transient OverrunTick (vs END-2's latching
outcome), and SaveData v4. Session log captures the build + validation
(330/330 EditMode; Play-verified server==client drain->regen->replicate).
CLAUDE.md adds the END-1 bullet; EB-1/EB-2/inventory bullets condensed
net-neutral to stay under the size budget.

DR-033 records the felt-spend design (shared Charge ammo, atomic soft-fail,
ledger-fed Fabricator, no-ordering-edge trade-off, global HUD cue, no SaveData
bump). CLAUDE.md adds the EB-2 ★ bullet net-zero (trimmed bullets archived to
the gotchas archive under a 2026-06-12 heading).

Session log + DR-031 (base-local mining, any-attack harvest, scheduled base sieges, Synty asset swap) capturing the diagnosis, locked operator forks, both adversarial reviews, and the tuning knobs. CLAUDE.md: base-local loop is now the model (BaseFieldSpawnSystem + harvest region-routing + ThreatDirector Schedule source); net-neutral condensation of M7/biome/HUD reference bullets.

Session log for the PrototypeCameraRig walk-shift fix: root cause, the separate-view-position fix, genre research (Diablo/PoE/Hades/Cinemachine), and the live-tunable knobs.

MC-1 fun-gate PASSED (kill-switch cleared); MC-4 built as the combo-chain melee primary-verb variant, both adversarial reviews folded in. Roadmap MC-1/MC-4 status updated.

Bring the living docs up to 2026-06-08 reality (Milestones/Backlog/Home/Systems_Index were stalled at 2026-06-06): add the 6 missing Milestones rows (animation, enemy animation, HUD Synty skin, world redo, world collision, Inventory+Equipment Phase 0/1); declutter Backlog to open-work-only (remove shipped [x] items whose context lives in their DRs/session logs, resolve items completed by later slices, surface Inventory/Equipment Phase 2-4 as next); refresh Home links (DR range -> DR-027, latest sessions); add a Systems_Index Items/Inventory/Equipment section + fix the stale 'StructureType 2-4 reserved for M7' note + a pointer to systems documented only in their DRs.
Reconcile DR-026's roadmap (mark Phase 0/1 done; the Phase-1 line now carries the DR-027 event-driven supersession note). Trim Data_Driven_Abilities resolved open-questions + fix cross-links. DRs + session logs (the historical record) untouched apart from that one DR-026 note.

DR-027 records the architecture (reuse AbilityRef/StatModifier; event-driven server-only equip supersedes DR-026's per-tick sketch), the 7 validated decisions, the inline-mod + reserved-SourceId fixes, and the MaxHealth-gear / session-only notes. Folds the equipment pointer into CLAUDE.md's inventory bullet net-zero (39925 bytes, >1KB headroom) by trimming the persistence/M7/ability-tier bullets.

DR-026 records the architecture (data-driven catalog + replicated buffers + reuse of the StatModifier/RPC machinery), the Phase 0-4 roadmap, the 7 validated decisions, and the deliberate gameplay choices (personal-harvest pivot, automation asymmetry, session-only inventory). Adds the Build-section inventory pointer to CLAUDE.md net-zero (39923 bytes, >1KB headroom) by condensing the persistence/world/HUD bullets; trimmed wording archived to the gotchas archive.

Session log + DR-025 for the off-world natural-frontier world redo; mark PolygonNatureBiomes in-use in the Synty inventory; archive the long-form gotchas (PNB ring-mesh white-torus, edit-mode region-fog preview, EG-entity vs cosmetic, execute_code DeleteAsset block, shadow-cast hygiene). CLAUDE.md: net-zero art pointer to DR-025 (39882 B, under the 40KB budget).

CLAUDE.md was 42126 bytes (over its own 40960-byte context-load limit). Trimmed to 39437 (1523B headroom): kept the stack/assembly tables, all high-recurrence hazards, bootstrap/DOTS/testing/guardrails; condensed the verbose mega-bullets to their essence + existing [[DR-###]] pointers; collapsed the redundant Memory table into a link to [[Documentation_Protocol]].
Added a 'Maintaining this file (size budget)' section so future edits self-enforce the limit (size-check commands, archive-don't-delete rule, net-zero rule).
Appended a dated, byte-faithful verbatim snapshot of the pre-trim CLAUDE.md to Docs/Vault/_Meta/CLAUDE_Build_Gotchas_Archive.md (headings demoted to nest) so nothing is lost from the vault. Verified via a 4-auditor workflow: archive complete + integrity pass; 1 condensation distortion + 2 nuance losses caught and fixed.

DR-023 decision record (client-derived enemy animation, monster-mash roster,
EnemyRigTools, WaveSystem scale-fix, GUID-preserving rebuild) + session log +
Synty_Asset_Inventory (enemy-grade table + future-dev catalog for the 14 new
packs). CLAUDE.md: add the enemy-animation gotchas bullet and condense several
build-gotcha bullets back below pre-session size.

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.
