adminandClaude Opus 5.5 3a52f2290f Mix sounds through buses and a master (#325)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m36s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 14m30s
Until now every sound went straight to the speakers. There was no
point where all of them came together, so nothing could turn the
music down against the effects, and a compressor or a shared echo
over everything had nowhere to sit. The bus technique of #346 was
there already, only the end of the chain was missing.

- Bus asset (Audio): Volume, Sound FX and Into. Into is empty for
  the master and never offers the bus itself nor a bus that already
  goes into it. The list is worked out when the menu opens, so a
  change made meanwhile counts. A loop that is in a project anyway
  sends the buses on it into the master.
- The master is no asset. Its volume and sound FX are two new rows
  under Master in Project settings, one undo step each. A project
  written before has 1 and none, which is how it sounded.
- Sound, instrument, pattern and song have a row Bus, empty for the
  master. Play sound, Play note, Play pattern and Play song have an
  input bus: From the asset, Master or a bus. Inside a song or a
  pattern only the bus of the song or pattern counts.
- Set bus volume (bus, volume, time, easing) and Bus volume. An
  empty bus is the master. The volume set holds for the whole run,
  across scenes, over that of the asset. GameRun resets it at start
  and end. Set sound FX parameters without a voice now reaches the
  sound FX of the bus picked in its new bus input.
- SoundLibrary: the master is the bus "mix", each bus "mix:<id>".
  Every bus, the playing masters of #346 included, ends there, and
  only the master is heard. setMix sets them up once a context
  exists, so an editor nobody listened to opens no audio device. The
  same mix again changes nothing, which lets the editor hand it over
  on every change of the project.
- The tabs play as the game does: Sound, Sound FX, Instrument,
  Pattern and Song tab through the bus of their asset and the master.
- Pause game does nothing to the buses (the user's answer 4b). A
  game that wants quiet in its pause menu sets a bus volume itself.
- Streaming long music files is #349, split off as asked.

Finding on the way: the Into menu first worked from a list made when
the inspector row was built. After another bus was sent into the
open one, e2e 34 saw it still offered. It is now asked on open.

The SoundLibrary tests expected voices to end at the destination.
They now end in the master, which adds its input, level and pan to
every wiring and two gains to every list. Those expectations are
updated, nothing else in them changed.

Tests:
- Unit buses (new): 15 green. Ten counter-checks, each red on its
  own: loop check, bus picked, reset at run start, bus of Set sound
  FX parameters, master volume in the settings, and in SoundLibrary
  default into the master, voices into the master, run volume over
  the mix, no context before a play, a playing on its bus.
- Unit sound-library: 90 green (5 new). Node catalog: 416 green
  (9 new cases).
- e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 75 checks (3 new). The voice
  of the Sound tab was heard on mix:<bus>, that bus into the other,
  that one at 0.5 into the master. Master volume 0.6 via the dialog,
  undo back to 1.
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 262 files, 4072 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b2326085ed Show each camera only its layers and lay overlay cameras on top (#302)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m2s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 14m26s
A camera could only show the whole scene, so a HUD drawn in the world
would run through a camera shader (#299) with everything else. Render
layers say which cameras see an object, and overlay cameras draw their
own picture over the main one.

- The project has a list of up to 16 render layers, edited in Project
  settings next to the collision layers. It is a list of its own, read
  by the same rules (`layerNamesOf`).
- Sprites, texts, tilemaps, particle sources and containers carry a row
  `Render layer` under their switches. Its default `Inherit` takes the
  parent's layer, at the top the first one.
- A camera has `Sees` (all layers by default) and `Overlay`. The main
  camera is the first one switched on without Overlay, so two plain
  cameras still draw through the first one only.
- Every view through a camera keeps only what that camera sees and lays
  one see-through view per overlay camera over itself. That view is a
  `WorldViewport` of its own, handed its view and frame from below.
- An overlay is fitted into the main camera's whole picture without
  distortion. One of the same size and zoom covers it exactly.
- `z` sorts within one camera only. The pictures lie on top of each
  other as a whole, which is what a shader per camera (#299) needs.
- The Game tab's preview now collects the scene once per redraw. Before
  it collected it twice, with the cameras it would have been five times.
- `SetCollisionLayersCommand` became `SetLayerNamesCommand`, which
  takes the list it sets.

Follow-ups: #304 (the mouse through a chosen camera) and #305 (change
the render layer at run time).

Tests:
- Gate: 226 files, 3487 tests (3480 + 7)
- e2e 63 (new): 4 checks. A green overlay sprite at z -10 covers a
  red main sprite at z 1000, in the preview and in the running game.
  A `UI` sprite in front of the main camera and a `Default` one in
  front of the overlay stay away. Without Overlay the second camera
  draws nothing. The settings dialog adds a render layer at the end.
- Counter-checks: inheriting from parents switched off fails 1 unit
  test. Overlays never drawn fails the two overlay checks in e2e 63.
- e2e total 1720 (1716 + 4), computed.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 c88f57cf0a Let a project choose how its game link is zoomed (#279)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m52s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 14m31s
The page of a released game always drew the camera at Auto, the
largest whole step that fits. A camera of 300x180 in a window of
1280x800 stands at step 4 and leaves a border left and right. The
issue asks for Fit next to it. Answered there: a setting of its own
rather than the scale of the Game tab, and no switch for the player.

- The project has a field gameLinkZoom, 'auto' or 'fit'. A document
  without it reads as 'auto', so nothing changes for a project that
  is there already. No format bump.
- Project settings has a row "Link zoom" with a menu of Auto and
  Fit. It is an undo step of its own, SetGameLinkZoomCommand.
- GameScreen hands the field to cameraView where it passed a fixed
  'auto'.
- gameScale, the scale of the Game tab, is not touched and does not
  reach the link.
- The released copy is frozen, so the change reaches the link only
  with "Update release".

Decided here:

- The row is called "Link zoom", not "Game link zoom" as proposed.
  The longer label is wider than the label column of the dialog and
  pushed its button 12 px out of line with the others.
- The undo step keeps the name "Game link zoom", which is what the
  tooltip of the undo button shows.
- A note under the row says "The released game at the largest whole
  step that fits, or filling the window."

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 211 files, 3227 tests (3219 + 8), exit 0
- e2e 60 on melektaus-atx: 19 checks, all pass
- e2e 35,46,59,60: 74 checks, all pass
- No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1671 (1668 + 3) is reckoned,
  1668 is what CI counted for 9e869df.
- Eight unit tests: the default, saving and loading, values that
  are not a choice, undo, gameScale left alone, the factor of Fit
  for a window larger and smaller than the camera, and the rule
  behind Apply.
- Three e2e checks in block 60i of module 60, with the real mouse:
  Auto to Fit in the dialog, update the release, open the link
  without a session and measure scale, frame and pixels. Fit reads
  4.267 where Auto reads 4.
- Nine unit counter-probes and three browser counter-probes all fail
  their tests.
- Not checked in the browser: Fit in a window smaller than the
  camera, which has a unit test, and Fit under a display scale above
  100 %. Nothing was looked at after the build.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 94c1055895 Throttle what the editor shows while a game runs (#265)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m40s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 11m9s
With the behaviors fixed, the scene Performance test still ran at
about 23 fps with 500 entities. The rest of the frame went to the
editor: every spawn or destroy rebuilt the hierarchy with all its
rows, redrew the scene view behind the game tab and refreshed every
panel. The game itself is cheap. What the panels show of it now
follows a preset in the project settings.

- New section While playing in the project settings with three
  presets: Live, Balanced and Minimal. Every project reads as
  Balanced, including those saved before the setting existed.
- Live keeps today's behavior. Balanced brings hierarchy and panel
  values up to date 4 times a second and stops redrawing the hidden
  scene view. Minimal updates hierarchy and values only on pause and
  throttles the graph tabs as well.
- The graph and state machine tabs stay live under Balanced. At 4
  updates a second the beads on exec edges stutter, and the tabs
  draw only while on screen. This differs from the issue proposal.
- The game itself is never throttled. Pause, step and stop bring
  every panel up to date at once, and a change of structure that
  falls between two updates is kept for the next one.
- The rule lives in editor/playThrottle.ts as panelPolicy and
  PanelClock. PlaySession asks it after every frame.
- Objects spawned at the top level go into a hierarchy group named
  after their asset, so hundreds of gold pieces fold into one row.
  Groups start folded.

Measured on a throwaway copy of Performance test, 3 s each, fps:

- About 500 entities: Live 38.6, Balanced 56, Minimal 60.6.
- About 315 entities: Live 56.9, Balanced 60.5, Minimal 60.6.
- p95 frame time at 500 entities: 60 ms, 41 ms and 23 ms.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 193 files, 2799 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- GM_STEPS=1,18,59: ALL PASSED, 54 checks.
- Full e2e run (local): ALL PASSED, 1562 checks.
- tests/editor/play-throttle.test.ts: presets, update rates, kept
  structure changes, flush, spawn group and loading old projects.
- New e2e module 59: preset chosen with the mouse, measured update
  rates, scene view behind the game tab, Minimal with pause.
- Module 03 now expects spawned objects in their group row after the
  next update.
- Counter-checks: 4 in unit tests and 2 in the browser, each failing
  as expected.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 4b7e8614a8 Keep play start and game view scale in the project (#226)
Both settings lived in the browser's localStorage, so they did not
travel with the project and differed per machine. They now belong to
the project like the symbol scale. There is no migration, old projects
load with the defaults.

- New module src/core/model/playSettings.ts reads playFrom and
  gameScale on load. Unknown or missing values fall back to the start
  scene and 100%.
- src/editor/settings.ts is gone.
- Play starts in the project settings dialog is an undo step
  (SetPlayFromCommand). It is only recorded on a real change.
- The game view scale is saved with the project but is no undo step,
  so Ctrl+Z never undoes a zoom. A scale picked during play is written
  to the stored project and survives Stop.
- Save states of persistent Variables assets (saves.ts) stay in the
  browser on purpose. They are runtime data of the game, not settings.

Tests:
- 6 new unit tests in tests/editor/play-settings.test.ts: defaults,
  save and load, broken JSON, undo of Play starts, scale without undo
  step, scale picked during play survives Stop.
- e2e 03g checks the value in the project, nothing in localStorage and
  no new undo step. 35f also checks project.playFrom. No new checks,
  the sum stays at 1375.
- Counter checks: no write to the stored project in play, no read on
  load, and an undo step for the scale each fail exactly their test.
- ./check.sh: 158 files, 2332 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 1-17,28,30,35,38-40,46: ALL PASSED, 752 checks

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 5afb70a92e Let the project set the size of scene view symbols
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m0s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m27s
Pixel art projects draw at very different sizes, so the fixed 18 px
icons of behaviors, containers and rigidbodies were too big in some
projects and too small in others. The size now lives in the project
settings and travels with the project.

- New field Symbol scale in the project settings dialog, below Play
  starts. It takes 0.1 to 4 with two decimals and defaults to 1.
- The value is stored as project.symbolScale. Older projects load
  with 1, and values out of range are clamped on load.
- Every change is its own undo step through a project command.
- The factor scales the icon size, the spacing of icons that share a
  spot, the label offset and the selection frame of icon-only symbols.
- The footprints in bounds.ts that Fit uses stay as they were. The
  hit area follows the icon, so clicks match what is drawn.
- uiHooks reports the icon size so e2e can measure it.

The e2e sum in the README is 1375. That is 1374 plus one new check,
and 1374 itself has not been confirmed by CI yet.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 157 files, 2326 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2320).
- New tests/core/symbol-scale.test.ts with 5 tests (default, save
  and load, clamping, undo, icon frame), one more in
  project-settings.test.ts.
- e2e 46f: dialog opens with 1, 0.5 plus Apply gives a 9 px icon,
  undo gives 18 again. Module 46: ALL PASSED, 13 checks.
- Counter checks: without loading the value the save and load test
  fails. With the icon ignoring the factor exactly 46f fails. Both
  originals restored per cmp.

adminandClaude Opus 5 60d0146bde The topbar is icons only: the leading Project dropdown, the Scene picker and the labelled Play/Pause buttons are gone and in their place stand five icon buttons - menu, undo, redo on the left, play and pause in the middle - while Notice, the save state, fps and the Account menu keep the right side; the Play button swaps its icon for a stop square while the project runs and Pause swaps for a second play sign while it is held (Button.setIcon()), and iconSpace() drops the gap between icon and label when a button has no label, which is what kept a 24 px icon button 3 px off its own centre; the menu carries New project, Open project..., a separator and Project settings..., where the picker (src/editor/OpenProjectDialog.ts) preselects the open project and marks it "open", opens on a double click and puts Delete on the left of Cancel and Open - it closes itself before it asks whether to delete, because two modals on top of each other would have left the question standing over a list it no longer speaks about - and the settings dialog (src/editor/ProjectSettingsDialog.ts) holds the name, the "Play starts" switch (Start scene / Active scene, a preference of this browser and so no command) and the collision layers from #152, which retires CollisionLayersDialog.ts and the "Collision layers..." entry; what Apply actually writes is the pure function settingsChanges(), so renaming and the layers are each their own undo step and each drop out when nothing differs; the Scene dropdown falls away without replacement, the active scene is switched by double clicking it in the Assets panel, which is the way that was there anyway; new module 46 runs last with 9 checks (no label left in the bar, the run buttons in edit mode, the four menu entries, the picker with the open project preselected, Cancel leaving the project standing, the settings dialog on the state of the project, renaming with undo and redo through the icon buttons) and it neither opens nor deletes a project, because that would pull the project out from under every earlier module; modules 8, 18 and 35 and the harness follow the new bar, 6 unit tests cover settingsChanges and 3 the icons (#183)
