A project could only be played inside the editor, behind the login.
To show a game to someone else there was no way short of an account.
A release freezes the saved project under a random token and serves
it on a page that holds nothing but the game view.
- Menu -> Release... opens a dialog with the state of the release,
the link with Copy link and Open, Publish or Update release, and
Take down behind a confirmation.
- Publish saves first and refuses while anything is unsaved, like
snapshots. Updating keeps the link. Take down kills it, and a new
Publish hands out a new token.
- The link is play.html?game=<32 hex>. The page needs no session,
paints Theme.colors.background, zooms with Auto and waits for
"Click to play" so that sound and keyboard focus are allowed.
- The game always starts in the start scene. Persistent variables
are stored per link in the browser. Plugins are not loaded, and the
dialog warns about them and about a project without a scene.
- GET ?r=releases/{token} is the only route besides auth/* that works
without a login. The public answer carries the token as project.id,
so the project id stays hidden. Release files are written with 0640
and nginx does not serve them directly (measured 403).
- Starting, the frame and Load scene moved into runtime/GameRun.ts.
Play in the editor and the play page run through the same code.
- WorldViewport moved to src/viewport/ and no longer needs the
EditorState. Pointer forwarding (gamePointer.ts) and setting up
textures, fonts and sounds (projectFiles.ts) exist only once.
- Vite builds two pages. The play page loads 4 kB of its own code
plus the shared chunk (Pixi, runtime, drawing, 653 kB) and Rapier,
without the editor.
Found on the way, not fixed here: data/projects/<id>.json answers 200
without a login because the files are 0644.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 194 files, 2808 tests, exit 0.
- tests/php/releases.test.php: 20 checks, also added to CI.
- New e2e module 60 with 10 checks, played in a browser without a
session. Module 46 counts the menu entries and was updated.
- Full e2e run: 1572 checks passed.
- Counter-checks: 3 unit, 2 PHP and 3 browser mutations all fail.

- `.gitignore` said `index.html` unanchored, which also caught the Vite source page;
a fresh clone could neither `dev` nor `build`. Anchored to `/index.html`, page added.
- Removed GM_REMOTE (tools/remote/gm-browser.ps1 and the ssh/scp branch in browser.mjs):
the Windows test machine is gone and the only flaky check that lived on it is closed (#37).
- Removed `npm run preview`, undocumented and unused.
- Comments: wrong number in collider.test.ts (250 → 200), the "declarations used to…"
history in listItems.ts and friends, the 24 px/28 contradiction, section banners in
nodes/index.ts, node-catalog.test.ts and api/index.php, name paraphrases, and the stale
step numbers in tools/e2e/11-…23- from the old global count.
- README: asset types include `animation`, kind order Number/Text/Boolean, tagged colour
and texture items, 6/5 kinds, the `Texture` node, `./build.sh`, PROJECT_FORMAT_VERSION,
and the file tree (kinds.ts, listItems.ts, propertyPorts.ts, Breadcrumb.ts, beads.ts,
tools/assets/).
- tests/helpers.ts takes the duplicated `findObject` and `sceneWithCamera`.
Proof: ./check.sh 797 tests, full e2e ALL PASSED 633 checks against this bundle.
