adminandClaude Opus 5.5 393b8ec7f9 Build your own easing curve and use it on keys and Lerp (#247)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m44s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m25s
The built-in eases cover the usual shapes, but a game often wants its
own: a coin that bounces twice, a door that overshoots and settles.
A new asset type holds such a curve, and keys and the Lerp node can
pick it instead of a built-in ease.

- New asset type "curve": points like in Vector art, x is t and y is
  the value. A new curve is the straight line from (0, 0) to (1, 1).
- One pure evaluation in src/core/model/curve.ts serves the timeline
  preview, the running game and the Lerp node.
- The curve always has one value per t. The end points stay at t 0
  and 1, points cannot pass each other, and a handle that reaches past
  its neighbour is shortened along its direction. Loading a hand-edited
  file applies the same rules.
- Curve tab: click on the line to insert a point that keeps the shape,
  click on free space to put one there, drag points and handles,
  double-click or Delete removes, Alt-click toggles round and sharp.
  Every step is one undo step.
- Presets: all 30 built-in eases plus Linear, fitted with adaptive
  subdivision. Each stays within 0.4 % of the built-in ease.
- Preview: a dot runs along the curve once a second, a second dot
  shows only the value. The Preview button stops it.
- Animation keys get "Curve" under Easing with a curve picker. Lerp
  gets "Curve" under Ease, and its result may overshoot b.
- A missing or unpicked curve runs linear. The inspector says so, the
  node shows it as a problem, and deleting a used curve warns with the
  number of keys and Lerp nodes.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 180 files, 2612 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- GM_STEPS=1-6,25,53: ALL PASSED, 309 checks
- New e2e module 53 with 13 checks, all with the real mouse. Expected
  values come from its own Bezier evaluation.
- Counter-checks bite: without Bezier evaluation 4 unit tests fail,
  without handle clamping 2. In the browser, a key that cannot find its
  curve, a click that sets no point and a handle drag that moves the
  point all turn checks red.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 53fa63441b Group scene objects in the hierarchy, for the editor only (#241)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m58s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m58s
A scene with a hundred crates fills the hierarchy with a hundred rows.
Groups bundle top-level objects under one folder row that folds away.
They exist for the editor only. Parenting, positions and the game do
not see them.

- Model: a scene or container template holds a list of groups, an
  object may carry a groupId. Old projects load unchanged. Loading
  drops empty groups and members that are no longer top level.
- Only top-level objects can join a group. Parenting a member takes it
  out of the group, and Undo puts it back. There are no groups in
  groups.
- Order: treeOrder lists the members together, where the first one
  stands. The same order decides drawing at equal z, in the editor and
  in the game, so the hierarchy and the picture cannot disagree. The
  stored object list stays untouched when grouping.
- Hierarchy: a group row shows a folder icon, the name and the member
  count. Clicking it selects all members and keeps it folded. Selecting
  a single member elsewhere unfolds it. Folding lasts for the session.
- Create with "Group..." in the object menu. A name dialog asks first,
  so creating is one Undo step and Cancel creates nothing.
- The group menu has Select members, Rename... and Ungroup. The object
  menu adds "Remove from group".
- Drag and drop: onto the group row appends, into a gap between members
  inserts there, next to a row outside leaves the group. Dragging the
  group row moves all members as a block. The drop rules live in
  hierarchyDrop.ts as a pure function.
- Copy and paste keeps a top-level copy in the group of its original.
  A container built from group members takes their place in the group.
- Clicking an object that is already selected together with others now
  keeps only that object selected. ListView narrows the selection on
  release, so a drag starting on such a row keeps the selection.

Not checked in the browser: groups in the container tab, "Remove from
group", Ctrl-click on a group row and a drag out of a multi-selection.
The code path covers them.

Tests:
- check.sh: 177 files, 2552 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 1, 51, 52: ALL PASSED, 31 checks (new module 52)
- 19 new unit tests in object-groups.test.ts and hierarchy-drop.test.ts
- 9 counter-probes, all fail as expected (7 unit, 2 in the browser)

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 2b89292eb4 Copy and paste scene objects and graph nodes (#240)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m19s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m5s
Copy and paste only existed for animation keys. Building a scene or a
graph meant placing every object and node again by hand, even when the
same arrangement was needed twice.

- Ctrl+C copies the selected objects with their whole subtree, or the
  selected nodes with their links, groups and comments. Ctrl+V pastes
  into the scene, container or graph of the visible tab.
- The copy is a snapshot in the editor's own clipboard, in memory. It
  holds asset ids, so the system clipboard is not used. It is cleared
  when another project opens.
- A paste lands under the mouse pointer when it is over the view, and
  keeps its arrangement. Otherwise it lands one grid step beside the
  original. Each further copy that still exists moves one step on, so
  an undone copy does not count.
- Objects get new ids for the whole subtree. They paste into the one
  selected object and keep their look under the new parent. If that
  object is the original or an earlier copy, the paste lands beside it
  instead of nesting deeper with every Ctrl+V.
- A placed container stays a container. Content copied out of a
  container pastes as plain objects. Pasting a container into its own
  template is refused.
- Nodes paste only where the palette would offer them. A second Start
  or End, a State in a behavior or a behavior calling itself is left
  out, and a notice names what was dropped.
- Menus: Copy and Paste in the object menu, a new Paste menu on empty
  scene space, Copy in the node and box menus, Paste in the palette.
- Ctrl+V still imports a picture from the system clipboard when the
  copy does not fit the tab. While objects are copied, the scene and
  container tabs use Ctrl+V for them, as the timeline does for keys.

Not checked in the browser: paste in the container tab, in state
machine, shader and particle graphs, and from the hierarchy menu. The
shared code path covers them.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 175 files, 2531 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 51 (new): ALL PASSED, 11 checks with real keys and clicks
- 13 unit tests in tests/editor/clipboard.test.ts, one of them pins
  the grid step after undo found during e2e
- 7 counter-checks all fail as expected (6 unit, 1 in the browser)

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0c5ac32b59 Let structs and lists nest to any depth (#239)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m52s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m24s
Structs and lists were capped at two fixed levels (list of structs,
struct with a list field). Anything deeper was dropped silently on
load, in node settings and when written to a variable. The cap came
from an early design choice, not from a technical need, so it is
lifted completely instead of adding a third fixed level.

- One kind list NESTED_KINDS replaces ListItemKind and
  StructFieldKind. The flat special cases in listItems.ts are gone,
  every value goes through one recursive path.
- A struct inside a struct is declared, like a top-level struct.
  Values coming in over an edge are brought into that shape. Struct
  items in lists still take their fields from the value.
- New valuePath.ts addresses any nested spot by keys and indices.
  ListSlot.field is now ListSlot.path.
- Field commands (add, rename, remove) take the path to the struct.
  They change declaration, own value and all overrides in one undo
  step, as before on the top level.
- Inspector: "+ Field" offers Struct and List on every level. A
  nested struct is a header row with its own "+ Field", its fields
  are indented one step further.
- List tab: a list item shows "n items" and opens one level deeper.
  The title shows the path, e.g. "Listy · nums · [3]".
- Pack in Pack now writes a struct into a struct field instead of
  text. Objects are kept at any depth and stripped at every exit.
- A list edit in a struct field without an existing object override
  now starts from the shown value instead of an empty struct.
- Old projects load unchanged. Save, load and save again gives the
  same result.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 172 files, 2498 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 21 + 22: ALL PASSED, 90 checks (new 21d-iii, 22f-ii,
  21d and 22f updated)
- 20 new unit tests in nested-values.test.ts and
  nested-list-slot.test.ts, three tests that pinned the old cap
  turned around
- 6 counter-probes, each fails 1 to 8 tests, originals restored
  and checked with cmp
- Not covered: a nested struct inside a struct item in the list
  tab has no e2e click

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 8b44f97c35 Let a child sort with its parent so its Z stays local (#232)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m7s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m51s
An animated or set Z of -1 on a weapon put it behind everything on Z 0,
not just behind the player holding it. A child can now opt in to being
drawn at its parent's place, so its own Z only orders it against the
parent and its siblings.

- New property "Sort with parent" on sprites, texts and particle
  emitters, shown in the inspector right under Z. It is a normal
  property, set on the asset and overridable per object.
- With it on, the rest of the scene sees only the parent's Z and, where
  the layer sorts by Y, the parent's feet. Below 0 the child is drawn
  behind the parent, from 0 on in front.
- It works across levels: a grandchild with the switch hangs on the top
  object of the chain.
- It has no effect under a parent that is not drawn itself (container,
  behavior, camera, collider) or under a tilemap.
- New assets start with it on, saved ones read as off, so old projects
  draw unchanged. For that a schema row now has "initial" next to
  "default". The gold "changed" mark and reset follow "initial", so a
  fresh sprite is not marked as changed. No load migration is needed.
- parentGroups() in drawOrder.ts gives a slot only to the top of a
  chain and inserts the children there. Editor, play mode and picking
  all use it, so they agree.

Tests:
- 10 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-with-parent.test.ts.
- 8 existing tests list the sprite rows or defaults and got the row.
- New e2e check 5b-ii clicks the switch and checks order and undo.
- Counter-checks, all originals restored by cmp: switch ignored fails
  7, children not sorted by Z fails 6, no chain fails 1, "initial"
  ignored fails 9, row missing in the inspector fails e2e 5.
- ./check.sh: 166 files, 2426 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 5: ALL PASSED, 13 checks. Check total 1398, computed only.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 454d202109 Let each variable of a behavior choose whether calls keep it (#229)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m46s
The first version of #229 put a Keep state switch on the Run behavior
node. The user wanted it where the variable is declared instead. Whether
a value lives on belongs to the variable, not to every call site.

- The node switch keepState is gone again. RunBehavior, CallResult and
  nested.ts are back to what they were before #229.
- BehaviorAsset.keptVariables lists the kept names. It lives on the
  asset and not in PropertyDef, because that is the schema of every
  inspector row.
- A variable added from now on starts with Keep on. Variables in
  existing projects start with Keep off, so old projects run unchanged.
- SetVariableKeptCommand flips the switch as one undo step. Add, remove
  and rename carry the list along. Loading drops names that are not
  declared.
- The interpreter keeps only the listed variables, per Run behavior
  node and per object as before. The others start at their defaults.
- Local state machines in a called behavior start empty on every call
  again, as before #229. Global and scene machines are unchanged.
- The inspector shows a Keep button in each variable row of a behavior.
  Its state is part of the asset signature, so a click redraws the row.
  Without that the button kept its old look until the inspector was
  reopened.

Found: the project Garden of Sacrifices still has keepState = true on
the call Player -> Character Movement. It is ignored now. Direction
there predates the switch, so Keep is off until set by hand.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 163 files, 2392 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2388)
- tests/core/keep-state.test.ts rewritten, 15 tests
- e2e 19: ALL PASSED, 35 checks. 19c-ii now clicks the Keep button
  of a new variable: on when added, off by a click, on again, off
  after undo.
- Counter-checks, each fails its own test: keep list ignored (2),
  states kept (1), new variable not kept (8), rename drops the list
  (1), no Keep button (e2e 19c-ii).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 89048413f1 Let a texture frame set where a sprite stands for Y sorting (#228)
A sprite sorted by Y stood on the bottom of its box. With a shadow or
empty rows under the feet that is too low, so a figure slipped in
front of a tree it should stand behind. The line belongs to the frame,
not the texture, because one texture can hold several sprite sheets.

- New field `sortLine` on a frame: whole image pixels up from the
  frame's bottom edge, 0 to the frame height. 0 is stored as nothing,
  so old projects stay the same. Shrinking a frame keeps the line
  inside it.
- `feetOf` in drawOrder.ts lifts a sprite by the same share of its
  box. Scene view, game view, play and picking all use it. In an
  animation the line of the frame shown right now counts.
- The texture tab draws the selected frame's line dashed in yellow
  with a knob left of the frame. At 0 the line shares the bottom edge
  with the nine-slice border and a resize handle, so the knob is
  tested first. A line inside the frame can be dragged directly,
  tested after the nine-slice lines.
- The inspector has a new "Sorting" section with a "Sort line"
  field. Dragging or typing is one undo step each.

Limit: frames of one walk cycle need the same value, set by hand.
Otherwise the figure changes its place in the order while walking.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 160 files, 2356 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2350).
- 6 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-by-y.test.ts.
- e2e 37 and 39-43: ALL PASSED, 162 checks. New check 37b-ii drags
  the knob up 6 px and undoes it, plus the inspector row.
- Counter checks: if feetOf ignores the line, exactly the 3 order
  tests fail. If the knob cannot be grabbed, 37b-ii fails.
- The e2e sum in the README is 1380, counted, not yet seen in CI.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 50854389bb Let a tilemap layer sort its rows by Y with the objects (#228)
A tilemap layer was one piece in the draw order, so a figure stood
either in front of a whole layer of trees or behind all of it. For a
top-down game the trees in front of the figure's feet have to cover
it and the ones behind must not.

- A new "Sort by Y" box under the layer list sets `sortByY` on the
  painted layer. Every change is its own undo step.
- Such a layer comes as one draw slot per row. On its `z`, the rows
  and all objects on that `z` are sorted by where they stand: the
  bottom of an object's box, the bottom of a row. Ties keep the
  hierarchy order, and other `z` values are untouched.
- A layer drawn as one piece and the map's own node stay behind the
  sorted ones on the same `z`, since neither has a single place to
  stand. Ground belongs on a lower `z` or stays unsorted.
- A new tile property "Sort offset" (whole rows, -16 to 16) lets a
  crown sort with the trunk below it.
- `TilemapField` draws a container per row for such a layer, and
  picking takes the row into account, so a click picks what is drawn
  in front. Scene view, game view and play share the same rule.

Limits: on a rotated map "down" is world Y. A layer sorted by Y costs
about one draw call per row and tile instead of one per tile.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 160 files, 2350 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2340).
- 10 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-by-y.test.ts.
- e2e 39-43: ALL PASSED, 148 checks. New check 40p-iii ticks the box
  and finds the slot of row 0, undo brings back the whole layer.
- Counter checks: without the Y sort 5 unit tests fail, with the
  offset ignored 5, with no row in picking 1. If TilemapField draws
  no rows, exactly 40p-iii fails in e2e.
- The e2e sum in the README is 1378, counted, not yet seen in CI.

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 5.5 abf3b1f618 Pick an existing collider or rigidbody from the object menu (#222)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m8s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m52s
"Add collider" and "Add rigidbody" could only create a fresh asset.
Reusing one meant creating a copy by hand, and a new box collider
never matched the sprite it was added to.

- "Add collider…" and "Add rigidbody…" open a second menu at the same
  spot: a search field, "Create new …", a separator, then every asset
  of that kind sorted by name. Enter takes the first match.
- An existing asset is placed as a shared child, not copied. An asset
  the object already carries is greyed out.
- The rule for when the entries are available lives in one place in
  the collider commands. An object without a resolvable asset is
  greyed out again, as with the old canAddCollider.
- "Fit to sprite" in the menu of a placed collider sizes it to its
  sprite and centres it (position 0,0, z kept) as one undo step.
- Fit writes overrides of that placement, not the asset, because a
  collider can now sit on several sprites. A value equal to the asset
  value clears the override instead.
- Fit removes the collider's own scale, swaps width and height near
  90 degrees and gives a circle the radius that fits (min/2). It is
  greyed out for polygon and frame outlines and off a sprite.
- Menu has no submenus, so a second menu opens instead, similar to
  "Add Component" in Unity. That costs one click more than before.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 152 files, 2234 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 151/2228).
- 6 new unit tests in tests/core/collider-parts.test.ts.
- 3 new e2e checks in 08a: submenu with search and greying, an
  existing collider via search and Enter, Fit on oc2.
- 09, 40 and 41 follow the new labels.
- e2e 1-16,39-41 on the final build: ALL PASSED, 596 checks.
- Counter-checks: no greying, existing asset ignored and fit without
  centring each fail at their own check. Breaking the override rule
  fails 2 unit tests.
- CI confirmed 1345 checks at 2cf7202 (task 265). New total 1348,
  calculated.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 487b3aa5b4 Painting over identical tiles no longer adds an empty undo step (#212)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m45s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m43s
A rectangle drawn over cells that already hold exactly that tile
pushed a command that changed nothing. Undo then seemed to do nothing
and the project was marked as modified. PaintTilesCommand.changes()
was meant to prevent that, but nothing called it since #128.

- New paintTiles() in tilemapCommands.ts returns the command for a
  finished stroke or fill, or null when no cell changes. It is the
  first caller of PaintTilesCommand.changes().
- All three paint paths in the Scene View go through it: brush and
  eraser, rectangle (both in endStroke) and flood fill (fillFrom).
- Flood fill was not affected, because floodFill already returns []
  for the same tile. The guard is there anyway, as the issue asked.
- A rectangle that changes even one cell stays a normal undo step.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 145 files, 2190 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2187).
- 3 new unit tests in tests/core/tilemap.test.ts: same rectangle
  twice gives no command, a wider rectangle still does, a fill that
  finds nothing gives no command.
- 1 new e2e check in 40d: the same rectangle again, then one undo
  must take 9 cells to 0. A redo restores them for later blocks.
- GM_STEPS=39,40 on the final build: ALL PASSED, 81 checks.
- Counter-probe with changes(...) || true: exactly the two unit
  tests fail, and in the browser exactly the new check fails with
  {"afterUndo":9}. Original restored via cmp (IDENTICAL), rebuilt.
- Editor suite check total: CI measured 1312 at 0e85856, new total
  1313 (calculated) in README and wiki.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 056a622524 Refactoring round 6: shared sheet canvas, fewer copies (#85)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m57s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m55s
Recurring cleanup round. Behaviour is unchanged. Duplicated code in
src went from 27 clones with 299 lines to 6 clones with 56 lines
(jscpd, the two identical OFL licence texts not counted).

- SheetCanvas is the new base of the texture, pixel art and vector art
  canvases. It holds background, mask, hint, panning, wheel zoom, fit,
  view save and restore and the screen mapping. Pixel art keeps its
  whole-pixel panning and fixed zoom steps.
- mixColor in src/core/util/color.ts replaces three copies in
  animation, gradient and particles. It clamps t like the particle one.
- fingerprint now lives once in generated.ts, next to the revision
  contract from #185.
- MoveCommand next to RenameCommand is the base of the three reorder
  commands for tile pictures, tilemap layers and vector shapes.
- The two raycast nodes share inputs, settings and filter via rayOf.
- canvasRect() lives once in AssetTabEditor.
- Removed unused code: findPixelArt, isDrawableShape,
  GeneratedPictures.has and SnapToggle.snapping. Tests now check the
  same things through equivalent paths.
- 38 values used only in their own file lost their export.
- Three comments that told history now describe the current state.
  The bundle stayed md5-identical for those edits.
- README lists vector art, pixel art and palette, and links the two
  wiki pages.

Findings:
- PaintTilesCommand.changes is meant to prevent empty undo steps but
  has not been called since #128. The rectangle tool therefore records
  a no-op undo step when it paints the same tile over itself. Left as
  is, because fixing it changes behaviour.
- No test covered middle-click panning in any sheet tab before. 13f
  and 48a now check it.
- The default values of the ray inputs were untested. Length 1000
  could become 10 without a red test. tests/core/raycast.test.ts now
  covers it.
- CI measured 1308 editor checks at d7c0b7c, not the 1307 counted for
  #164. The sum is now 1310 (1308 + 2), computed.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 144 files, 2143 tests, exit 0 (before 2142).
- e2e 1-16,37,39-43,47,48 fresh: ALL PASSED, 729 checks.
- e2e 1-13,47,48 with the new checks: ALL PASSED, 518 checks.
- Counter-checks, each restored via cp and cmp: halved panning fails
  both new pan checks; unclamped mix fails 1 test, no blue channel 3;
  coarser hash 3; broken reorder undo 2; triggers setting forced on 2;
  bent ray length 1.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d7c0b7cfdb Variables and state machines can reset with every scene (#164)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m43s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m40s
A shared variable or machine used to live either per object or for the
whole run. Levels need a third lifetime: shared like global, but built
fresh from the declarations whenever a scene is loaded.

- New scope `scene` for Variables assets and state machines. A missing
  field keeps the old meaning: `global` for assets, `local` for
  machines, so existing projects do not change.
- Returning to a scene that was visited before is fresh as well. There
  is no memory per scene.
- A `scene` machine announces its start state again after a scene swap,
  so `On state entered` in the new scene hears it. A global machine
  stays quiet because it never left its state.
- The rule lives in two pure functions in `sharedState.ts`
  (`carriedForward`, `restartedAssets`). BehaviorSystem only calls them.
- The inspector shows a Scope dropdown on Variables assets and a third
  step on the machine dropdown, with a note on what `scene` means.

Decisions:
- `scene` and `persistent` exclude each other (variant A). The choice
  dialog was cancelled, so this is an assumption to revisit. A
  scene-scoped asset hides the Persistent switch, and switching to
  `scene` drops the flag (undo restores it). The guard sits in
  `isPersistent` itself, so no path can save values the scope throws
  away anyway.

Findings:
- `clickText('Scene')` hits the Scene tab, not the menu entry. One e2e
  check was red because of that, and its partner was falsely green
  because it compared `undefined` with `undefined`. Both use `clickLast`
  now.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 144 files, 2142 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 143 / 2133)
- 9 new unit tests in tests/core/scene-scope.test.ts
- e2e 32 fresh: ALL PASSED, 17 checks
- e2e 1-3,17,18,26,32,35 fresh: ALL PASSED, 213 checks
- 3 new e2e checks (35: scene-scoped asset resets on swap, 32h: dropdown,
  note, hidden Persistent switch)
- Counter-checks bite: ignoring `restarted` fails 2 unit tests and the
  new check in 35, the old announcement rule fails 1, dropping the scope
  guard in `isPersistent` fails 1. Originals restored, cmp IDENTICAL.
- Check sum 1307 (1304 + 3) is computed. Last CI measurement: 1293.

adminandClaude Opus 5 41772e53f7 Variables assets can keep their values from one run to the next (#166)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m21s
game-maker / gate (push) Failing after 3h5m52s
A game needs a high score or an unlocked level to survive the end of
a run. As agreed in the issue there are no save or load nodes. A
Variables asset gets a switch instead, and the existing Variables
nodes read and write the values as before.

- A "Persistent" checkbox in the Variables inspector. Toggling it is
  one undo step, and absent means not persistent.
- The behavior system loads the saved values at start and writes them
  after every frame that changed one, so a closed tab loses nothing.
- Values live in localStorage per project, not in the project file.
  Another browser or person starts fresh.
- Play and "Run in editor" save apart, so trying a behavior in the
  editor leaves the Play save alone.
- Saved values are read through the current declaration. A removed
  variable drops out, a new one starts from its default, and a changed
  kind is converted.
- "Clear saved values" in the inspector clears this asset in both
  areas. The main menu gets "Clear saved data" for the whole project.
  Clearing takes effect from the next run on.

Decisions:
- The switch covers the whole asset, not single variables. Mixing
  both means two assets.
- A changed default in the inspector shows only after the save is
  cleared. That is what persistent means.

Findings:
- The first e2e run died at "debug hook present" right after a Vulkan
  error from Chrome. The second run passed, so it was a GPU flake at
  start-up.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 140 files, 2070 tests, exit 0 (before 138 / 2055).
- 15 new unit tests in tests/core/saved-values.test.ts and
  tests/editor/saves.test.ts.
- GM_STEPS=32,46 fresh: ALL PASSED, 24 checks. Six new checks in
  module 32 go through the UI. Module 46 knows the new menu entry.
- Counter-checks both fail as expected. Loading switched off: 2 unit
  tests and 2 e2e checks fail. Editor run writing into the Play area:
  1 e2e check fails.
- Check total 1278 (1272 measured by CI at bbbf341, plus 6).

adminandClaude Opus 5 bbbf34109b Lists duplicate, rename and edit values right in their rows
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m20s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m25s
Name, opacity and Z each sat in a separate field below or beside
the list. You had to select a row first and then look elsewhere to
change it. Duplicating was a separate button or not possible at all.
Now the row itself carries everything.

- SortableList gets three optional callbacks. onDuplicate shows a
  copy button between the eye and the delete button. onRename opens
  a text field on double click, Enter or a click outside commits,
  Esc cancels, an empty name is ignored. value puts a NumberField
  into the row.
- Dragging on the number changes the value and never moves the row.
  A whole drag is one undo step, the canvas follows live.
- Copy and delete only show on the hovered and the selected row.
  Their space stays reserved, so nothing jumps on hover.
- Pixel layers: copy right above with the same pixels on all
  frames, rename, opacity in percent. The Name and Opacity fields
  below the list are gone.
- Pixel frames: copy right after, replaces the Duplicate button.
- Tilemap layers: copy with cells, Z and visibility, rename, Z in
  the row. The Name and Z fields in the panel are gone.
- Vector shapes: copy at the same place and select it, rename.
- New in core: DuplicateVectorShapeCommand,
  DuplicateTilemapLayerCommand, withLayerDuplicated and copyName
  ("X copy", "X copy 2"). copyName lives in src/core/util/names.ts
  because the model never imports from commands/.

Findings:

- Double clicking a shape that is not selected yet only selects it.
  The first click moves the list up, so the second click misses the
  name. Module 47 selects the row first.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 138 files, 2055 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2052).
- GM_STEPS=47,48 (fresh, twice): ALL PASSED, 91 checks (before 86).
- GM_STEPS=39,40,47,48: module 40 green, 47 died on the rename
  check, which was a test fault and is fixed.
- Counter probes: a constant copyName fails the shape and pixel
  layer tests. A dead copy hit fails the copy check in 47.
- Check total 1272 in README and wiki, computed (1266 + 6).

adminandClaude Opus 5 66d6aafbb4 Pixel art can be drawn in its own tab with layers and frames (#130)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m24s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 7m40s
Textures are uploaded files named by their content, so they cannot
be edited in place. Pixel art is therefore its own asset type, like
vector art. Its pixels live in the project and the tab rasters them
into a texture that sprites, tiles and animations can use.

- New asset types Pixel art and Palette. The first pixel art of a
  project gets a palette with the 16 PICO-8 colours in the same undo
  step. Every pixel is a palette index, 0 is transparent.
- Each layer on each frame is its own file data/pixels/<sha256>.px.
  The project only holds the names, so undo swaps names. The browser
  computes the hash and uploads new cels before the project is saved.
- New route POST ?r=pixels in api/lib/PixelStore.php. It answers 201
  and 422 for broken data. data/pixels/ is git-ignored.
- Tools: pencil, eraser, fill (contiguous or all pixels of a colour),
  eyedropper, line, rectangle and ellipse (outline or filled), brush
  size 1 to 8.
- Layers can be added, deleted, renamed, reordered, hidden, faded and
  merged down. Frames can be added, duplicated, deleted and reordered,
  with onion skin and a small playing preview.
- Zoom 1x to 32x in whole steps, grid from 8x, a 3x3 tile preview and
  Resize... with a 3x3 anchor.
- All frames sit side by side in one image. Each frame is a region
  like a cut texture frame, so texture rows offer "Asset / Frame 2"
  and the context menu has Create animation from frames.

Decisions:
- Merging down drops the opacity of the upper layer. Indexed colours
  know no blends.
- Only the last palette colour can be removed. Otherwise the indices
  of every image using the palette would shift.
- Undo stores the whole layer per stroke instead of pixel diffs.
- Alt+click picks a colour. It is a mouse gesture, not a shortcut.

Follow-up issues: #197 import from texture, #198 selection and
flipping, #199 PNG export, #200 more tools.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 136 files, 2049 tests (before 135 / 2011). 34 new in
  tests/core/pixel-art.test.ts, 4 from the icon tables.
- e2e module 48 fresh: ALL PASSED, 29 checks, console empty.
- Counter-probes bite: five on the unit tests, upload order (2 tests
  fail) and cels not uploaded in the browser (1 check fails).
- Check total 1259 in README is computed (1232 measured in CI + 27).

adminandClaude Opus 5 592ea942d9 Vector shapes can fill with gradients and textures (#186)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m14s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 7m14s
A vector shape could only be filled and outlined with one flat colour.
Shading, glows and patterned surfaces had to be faked with stacks of
shapes. Every shape now has a paint type for its fill and its outline.

- Fill type: solid colour, linear gradient, radial gradient or
  texture. Line type offers the same without texture.
- Colour stops are edited on a bar in the inspector, as agreed in the
  issue. A click on the bar adds a stop in the colour the gradient
  already has there, so adding never changes the picture. At least two
  stops remain.
- The new Paint tool in the tab shows two handles for the selected
  shape: axis start and end, centre and radius, or the corners of one
  texture tile. "Handles: Fill / Outline" picks which paint is edited.
- Moving a whole shape moves its gradients and tile with it. Every
  gesture is one undo step.
- A texture fill always tiles, because Pixi turns a non-repeating
  pattern into a repeating one anyway. When switched on, one tile
  covers the whole shape.
- Only uploaded textures and frames can be a fill, never a drawing.
  A drawing filled with itself would rasterise itself mid-raster.
- The fingerprint of a drawing includes the texture and frame a fill
  points to, so the picture redraws when the image is swapped.

Findings:

- graphics.destroy(true) also destroyed the textures of the fills.
  With a texture fill it deleted the tile slice and the next redraw
  crashed on reading 'scaleMode' of null. It is now destroy().
- The gradient cache destroyed old gradients itself, which gave 20
  Pixi warnings "destroyed while still bound". They are now handed to
  Pixi's texture GC with autoGarbageCollect switched on. The console
  of module 47 is empty again, the last CI log had 0 of them.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 135 files, 2011 tests, exit 0 (before 134 / 1986)
- npm run build: exit 0
- GM_STEPS=47, freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 54 checks (before 44),
  0 console warnings
- 25 new unit tests, 10 new e2e checks in block 47i

adminandClaude Opus 5 1116818011 Vector shapes can be combined by union, subtract and more (#187)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 7m51s
Building a shape out of simpler ones meant drawing the result point by
point. The Vector Art tab now selects several shapes at once and
combines them with a boolean operation into one ordinary shape.

- Ctrl/Cmd+click in the tab and Ctrl or Shift+click in the shape list
  add a shape to the selection. Shift stays pan in the canvas.
- A COMBINE block in the inspector offers Union, Subtract, Intersect
  and Exclude. Subtract removes every upper shape from the lowest one.
- The result replaces the lowest selected shape and keeps its name,
  colours, stroke and place in the order. It is one undo step.
- Curves are flattened to 0.2 canvas pixels, a circle gets about 48
  points. Open lines and single shapes cannot be combined, the buttons
  are off and a hint gives the reason. An empty result is rejected.
- Delete now removes every selected shape, and the selection drops
  shapes that no longer exist.
- The geometry comes from clipper2-ts 2.0.1, pinned. It has no
  dependencies and speaks even-odd directly. Only the engine module
  is imported, the bundle grows by 55 kB instead of 110 kB.

Findings:

- clipper2-js was tried and dropped. It pulls in Angular 15 with a
  high npm audit finding and no fix.
- Pixi finds holes by containment, not by even-odd depth. An island
  inside a hole would be drawn as a hole again. Result rings are
  emitted outer ring before its islands, and a test mirrors Pixi's
  rule.
- A depth sort turned out to be dead code in a counter-check and was
  removed. A pixel check in 47h stayed green without the subtract
  and now checks both colours.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 134 files, 1986 tests, exit 0 (before 133 / 1968)
- npm run build: exit 0
- GM_STEPS=47, freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 44 checks (before 39)
- 18 new unit tests, 5 new e2e checks in block 47h
- Five counter-checks bite, originals restored and verified with cmp

adminandClaude Opus 5 2d79230b55 A frame's collision outline can be generated from its pixels (#161)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 7m42s
Drawing an outline by hand for every frame of a sheet is slow, and the
outline mostly follows the opaque part of the image anyway. The texture
tab now traces it: one click, a corner budget, and every Frame
collision collider and tile using that frame blocks with the result.

- "Generate collision..." sits in the texture tab header and is off
  while the texture has no frames.
- The dialog has Max points (default 8, 3 to 64), Solid from ... %
  alpha (default 50) and All frames of the texture. A live line says
  what Generate will write, and Generate stays off when nothing is
  solid enough.
- traceCollision walks each island of solid pixels along the pixel
  edges, then drops the least important corners until at most N are
  left and no stair step remains. A slope becomes one straight edge.
- An outline never crosses itself. Where the image would force that,
  the island's convex hull is taken instead.
- Crumbs under 1 % of the frame area are dropped unless they are the
  only island. Holes are not reproduced.
- Existing outlines are replaced. One frame or all frames is a single
  undo step.
- TextureLibrary hands out the sheet's RGBA data, and a pure function
  cuts a frame's region from it.

Findings:
- The wedge in the e2e fixture gets 4 corners, not 3. Its tip is one
  pixel wide in the image, and that real edge stays while corners are
  still free.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 131 files, 1941 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (was 130 / 1931).
- 10 new unit tests in tests/core/trace-collision.test.ts, including
  150 random shapes that must all be valid and within the budget.
- GM_STEPS=42, freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 20 checks (was 16).
- Three counter-probes bite: no hull fallback, no stair threshold,
  dialog ignoring the alpha threshold.
- Check sum 1202 in README is computed (1198 + 4), CI measures it.

admin 3d7ad65f34 Vector art has a tab to draw in, which is stage 3 of #129
game-maker / gate (push) Canceled after 37s
game-maker / suite (push) Canceled after 37s
Stages 1 and 2 gave the asset a model and a picture, but the only way
to put a shape into it was a test calling mutate.  The tab closes that
gap: what you draw there is what the sprite in the scene carries, with
no extra step, because the fingerprint changes and the picture registry
of #185 redraws.

- The tab has a header with Select, Pen, Grid and Fit, a chequerboard
  behind the canvas and the canvas itself as a frame.  It paints with
  the same commands as the rasterizer, paintDrawing being exported
  from viewport/vectorArtPicture.ts for it, so the tab cannot drift
  away from the picture.
- Pen sets points on a click and pulls the handles out on a drag, both
  of them mirrored; a click on the first point closes the ring and Esc
  ends an open line.
- Select drags a point, a handle or a whole shape, a click on an edge
  puts a point there, a double click takes one away, and Alt turns a
  corner round and back.  Delete removes the selected shape.
- The rules grew inside polygonEdit.ts instead of a second module, as
  the plan says, so a collider polygon and a frame outline get the
  same behaviour where it applies.
- A point on a curved edge splits the curve by de Casteljau instead of
  cutting it: both halves together draw exactly what was there before.
- A curved edge is walked instead of measured over its chord, or a
  click on the bow of a curve would grab nothing; the same walk carries
  the test for the inside of a ring.
- One gesture is one undo step.  The preview writes the model directly
  and the old state is put back on release before the command runs,
  which is the pattern the frame outlines of #141 already use.
- state.ts gained a selection kind "shape".  The inspector shows the
  rows of the asset for it, the shape list with colour, opacity and
  stroke being stage 4.

One counter-check was no counter-check: disabling the pen's closing
tolerance by multiplying it with 0 left the run green, and rightly so,
because the closing click lands on exactly the screen coordinate point
0 came from, so the distance is 0 and <= 0 is true.  Only an
unsatisfiable condition really switched it off, and then 2 checks fail.
A second trap on the way: a false && in front of the guard breaks the
TS narrowing, npm run build bails out, and two runs went against the
old bundle.

Tests: check.sh 127 files, 1878 tests, EXIT 0 (was 126 / 1860).
Full e2e suite ALL PASSED - 1172 checks, module 47 alone 17 (was 10).
18 new unit tests in tests/editor/ring-edit.test.ts and 7 new e2e
checks in blocks 47c and 47d.  Two counter-checks hold: no de
Casteljau fails 1 unit test, measuring a curve over its chord fails
another.  Originals checked back with cmp and rebuilt.

adminandClaude Opus 5 bdb3f066cf The asset type "vector art" exists as a model, which is stage 1 of #129 and shows nothing in the browser yet on purpose: a vectorart asset is not placeable, sits in the + menu and in the asset panel with its own icon (a curve between two points) and has no tab, so it behaves like a font - selectable, its rows in the inspector, a double click leading nowhere - because the tab is stage 3 and half an asset would only be in the way; the data model in Asset.ts is a shape built from rings (even-odd, so a shape may have holes, answer 6 in the issue), a ring being points with optional bezier handles in/out stored as an offset from the point and a closed flag (an open path is stroke only, answer 4), plus fill colour, opacity and an optional stroke (answer 5) - the two handles are kept apart instead of mirrored, because what "smooth" means is the editor's business and not the model's; canvas width, height and the filter are properties, so they get an inspector row and undo like any other, while the shapes are intrinsic data like the frames of a texture; the revision that #185 hands to the picture path is a fingerprint of what is drawn, not a counter, which is exactly why that key took a string token - no command can forget to bump it - and the name of a shape is deliberately left out of it, renaming changing no pixel; six undo commands in the new vectorArtCommands.ts (add a shape numbered in order, remove one which comes back to its old place - unlike a tilemap layer the last one may go too -, rename, move, write the rings as one step per gesture with the list copied, and set the style where stroke: null takes it away) and the pure function shapeOrderTarget for the four buttons of the planned inspector list (one forward, to front, one back, to back), which also serves dragging in that list; loading from a project file is strict - a point without numbers falls away, a broken handle leaves a corner behind, duplicate shape ids fall away like duplicate layer ids, a stroke of width 0 is no stroke - while a ring with a single point, which is what someone is drawing right now, stays; three findings on the way: JSON.stringify as the fingerprint was wrong because the same drawing came back from a project file as {points, closed} and was built as {closed, points}, so a reload would have rasterized the same picture under a new key (the fingerprint writes its fields in a fixed order now and a test measures that case), toNumber in serialize.ts turns any nonsense into 0 so the Number.isFinite checks ran into nothing and {x: 'far'} became the left edge instead of vanishing (shapes read numbers strictly via asFinite, 0 being a place on the canvas here), and "Vector art" would have been both a menu entry and the panel heading, which an existing test catches because a click by text would hit the heading - the group is called "Vector drawings" now while the menu entry stays "Vector art"; 20 new unit tests in tests/core/vectorart.test.ts and three counter-checks hold: the fingerprint back on JSON.stringify fails 2, reading the numbers loosely again fails 4, and not copying the ring list fails 1; no e2e check and the check sum stays 1157, only module 04 counting 19 asset types instead of 18 (#129)

adminandClaude Opus 5 ae3aa7d3bd Refactoring round 5 covers the code since round 4 without changing behaviour: four identical copies of dot() and three of "nearest point on a segment" stood in the collision math, in the hit area of the collider outlines and in the polygon handles, so they moved into the new module src/core/util/vec.ts; the warning line, the busy state, info() and the caret reset were written out line by line in both the sign-in screen and the password dialog and are now FormStatus; the closing row "Cancel plus a confirming button, optionally one on the left" was built by hand in FormDialog, FilePicker, OpenProjectDialog and PasswordDialog and is now dialogButtons(); the header bar was drawn by the toolbar, the TabHeader and the Breadcrumb each on its own and is now drawHeaderBar(); AddColliderCommand and AddRigidbodyCommand share a base, each subclass only builds its own asset; Editor.ts derives the panes from assetEditors instead of repeating eight entries and clamps its splitters with clamp(); jscpd over src falls from 0.19 % to 0.14 %; dead code is gone - listScenes() has been orphaned since the Scene picker fell away (#183), DEFAULT_FILTER (#152) was never used, the two test hooks projectPickerRowAt/rowPosition and particleCompiles are read by no tool, and four functions lost an export they did not need; seven comments that told history ("used to", "no longer", "since #...") describe the state of things now, and that this changed nothing was proved by a rebuild - the bundle is md5 identical, b4ad0dfe... before and after; the README said Logout sits at the far right of the toolbar, which has been the Account menu since #182, and wiki/Architecture.md was missing src/core/util/ altogether; 4 new unit tests cover vec.ts, and switching the clamp on the segment off makes exactly one of them fail while none of the 76 neighbouring tests notice, so that clamping was covered nowhere before (#85)

adminandClaude Opus 5 4f55f85ad4 Collision layers and masks: a collider carries a layer and a mask of the layers it meets, and the pair only meets when both masks name the other's layer - the rule is one pure module (src/core/model/collisionLayers.ts) with layerBit, layersMeet and the names a project starts with, so the three places that have to agree read the same function: the editor run through CollisionSystem, the Solids sweep per pair and Rapier, where the mask becomes the collider's interaction groups; the project file gained collisionLayers: ["Default"] (default one layer, no formatVersion bump), the collider schema two new kinds - layer as a dropdown of the project's layers and layerMask as a menu of tickboxes that stays open while it is ticked (Menu.ts learned rows that do not close on a pick) - and the names are edited through "Collision layers..." in the toolbar's Project menu, not a Project tab, which is the decision I made myself because the question ran into the MCP timeout: the dialog (src/editor/CollisionLayersDialog.ts) holds up to 16 names, Add layer appends "Layer <n>" and Apply writes all of them as one undo step (SetCollisionLayersCommand); a mask read from a file goes through a check that refuses anything that is not a finite number, because Number(null) is 0 and a collidesWith: null would silently have meant "meets nothing"; 9 new e2e checks in module 8 cover the menu entry, the dialog, Add layer, Apply and its undo, both inspector rows, the tickbox menu, and the mover walking straight through the crate that 8c blocked on once their layers no longer meet, and 21 new unit tests cover the rule, the schema and the command (#152)

adminandClaude Opus 5 5ba796a2b6 Plugins belong to the project, and they load before it: the project file gained the field plugins: ["demo-plugin.js"] (default empty, no formatVersion bump), the Plugins tab's switch writes into it as an ordinary undo step (SetPluginActiveCommand) instead of into a server-wide plugins.json, and the start order is turned around - startPlugins only fetches the list of files, then editor.boot() runs and ProjectStore.load(id, prepare) hands the raw JSON through before it is deserialized, where pluginsOf(raw) reads the list and PluginManager.syncTo() activates exactly those; that is the point of the issue, because what a plugin registers has to stand there before normalizeGraph would throw it away as unknown (#126, #127), a project switch first stops what the new project does not name and then starts what it does, a file the server does not have is passed over silently, and after signing out the manager is dead so a late event cannot start anything in a torn-down session; on the server plugins.json, PluginStore::setActive, isActive, the route PUT ?r=plugins/{file} and the 403 for inactive modules are gone and GET ?r=plugins only answers {file,bytes,updatedAt}, which makes every plugin file fetchable - the consequence accepted in #117, written down in the wiki for #115 and #116; publishPlugins(root) only copies files now, the seeder switches the demo plugin on in the fixture project, and the Plugins tab carries a puzzle piece as its icon while only a plugin's own tab still goes without one (the knob and the socket are cubic curves, not arcs, which Pixi's parser draws as a spike after an L); 3 new e2e checks in module 38 and 5 new unit tests cover the project as the owner of the switch, its undo, the order, pluginsOf against crude input and an unknown file name (#119)

adminandClaude Opus 5 193378e6a9 An animation is a timeline of rows over one asset, played on an object rather than worn as a picture (#97)
Part (a) of the animation rework: model, commands, saving, runtime and nodes.

- AnimationAsset holds a root (sprite, text, container or scene) and rows; a row keys one
  property of the root or of an object inside it, keys sit on whole frames.
- The last key decides the length (its frame counts as a frame of its own). The playhead runs
  between frames, so numbers and colors blend every tick even at 10 fps; everything else holds.
- Playback gains `once-reset`, which puts back what was there before the start. A row can be
  relative, adding to where its target stood.
- Play / Pause / Stop animation act on an object; each instance plays on its own, the later
  start wins on a shared property, and a behavior writing the same property still writes last.
- A sprite no longer wears an animation through `texture`. "Create animation from texture"
  builds a sprite plus a texture row keyed frame by frame instead.
- The Animation tab shows a placeholder until the timeline editor (part b) lands.

adminandClaude Opus 5 be8f2331de A frame that keeps its corners can be stretched to any size (#41)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 6m21s
TextureFrame carries optional `border` (left/right/top/bottom) and
`fill` (stretch | repeat); absent keys mean "not sliced", so no format
bump and undo restores the plain frame instead of four zeroes.

The sliced sprite builds its own geometry instead of the shared
UNIT_QUAD: a 4x4 grid, and for `repeat` one quad per tile carrying the
frame cell's real UVs -- tiling in the geometry, not in the sampler, so
a frame out of a sheet cannot pull its neighbour in. Above 64 tiles per
axis it stretches, to bound the buffer.

A sprite narrower than left+right scales both borders down together
until the middle is exactly 0, so the corners meet at a seam and never
overlap.

The texture editor gets four draggable border lines plus the same four
numbers in the inspector. Hit order is resize handles, then the lines,
then the frame body -- handleAt reports 'move' anywhere inside a frame,
so lines placed after it were unreachable.

adminandClaude Opus 5 b9f1a9d319 A graph that grew past one screen needs somewhere to say what a part of it is for (#38)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 6m13s
The graph could hold any number of nodes and said nothing about which of them
belonged together. Groups and comments are two separate things, as decided in
the issue: a group is a titled box that carries the nodes it encloses, a
comment is free text that carries nothing.

Both live as optional arrays on Graph, not as registry nodes. A comment that
were a real node would run through the interpreter, show up in the drop
palettes and be compiled into a shader — the wrong place for a piece of text.
As arrays on Graph they exist in all four graph kinds at once, and a document
without them means exactly "no groups", so no format bump.

Membership is computed when the box is grabbed, never stored: the center of a
node inside the box travels with it, and a node dragged out is simply out. A
box inside a box travels with the outer one, its own nodes included. A group
is grabbed by its title bar only — its body stays transparent to the pointer,
or a rubber band could never be drawn across the nodes it holds. Deleting a
box deletes the box; the nodes stay where they are, because a box that
silently took ten nodes with it would be the most expensive surprise in the
feature.

The color is a free picker, and the title color follows from it: relative
luminance per WCAG, threshold at 0.179 where the two contrast ratios meet —
not 0.5, which would pick white on mid grey where black reads better.

Resizing snaps the far edge to the grid, not the width, so the corner that is
not being dragged stays put. The minimum size rises in whole steps for that
reason: 80 is no multiple of 24, so a box squeezed to the stop would have sat
off-grid in exactly the mode meant to keep it on.

admin 1e9d21cd5d A game that is more than one scene needs a way from one to the next, so the graph can load one (#39)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 11m6s
Load scene sets a flag on the World like Stop and Restart do; the swap
happens after the tick, and the last wish of a tick wins. Exactly one
thing crosses over: the SharedState, so global variables and global
machines keep what they know while everything local is built anew.
Loading the scene that is already running rebuilds it, which is what
"reset the level" means when the score must survive.

A run starts either from the start scene (a new project field, set from
the asset panel and marked with an arrow in the list) or from whatever
scene is open. The toggle next to Play says which question is asked and
remembers the answer in localStorage: it is a way of working, not part
of the game.

Sounds no longer end because a scene ends. A voice belongs to the
behavior that started it and stops right after On destroy, so the scene
swap is no longer a special case at all. For the enemy that plays its
explosion and destroys itself in the same breath there is now a
detached input on Play sound.

The scene selector stays usable while a run plays, because a double
click in the asset panel already did the same thing unguarded. It moves
what the editor looks at, not what the run plays.

admin 5671a38044 A game that stays silent is only half a game, so a sound is an asset like any other (#45)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 12m1s
Sounds follow the road fonts already paved: the file goes to the server
content-addressed under its sha256, the project keeps a named asset that
points at it, and nothing is ever re-encoded. The format is read from the
file's own signature, not from what the browser claims - the same .m4a
arrives as audio/mp4, audio/x-m4a or as nothing at all.

Playing is two nodes. "Play sound" takes the asset and may raise or lower
its volume; every call is its own voice, so two jumps in a row are two
jumps heard. Its loop input is a choice of three - from the asset, on,
off - because a checkbox has to spend one of its two positions on "not
set" and would lose a case: an asset that loops could then never be
played once.

Below the graph core stays browser-free: NodeContext hands out an asset
id, BehaviorSystem resolves it against the project and folds the asset's
own volume and loop into the call, and only viewport/SoundLibrary knows
about Web Audio. A run without a sink plays nothing instead of throwing.

The CI browser is muted, so the ear is no witness: the debug hook counts
started and stopped voices, and step 34 reads that counter.

adminandClaude Opus 5 7babf88636 A state change is something the graph can react to, so the machine announces it (#53, #54, #55, #57)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m58s
Four issues that all reach for the same line: how the current state is
read and written. Splitting them into four commits would mean four
states of the tree that do not compile, so they arrive together.

#55 start state — the machine asset carries an optional `start` holding
a State node's id. Right-click a state to set or remove it, a ring in
the node's title says which one it is. A dead id (the state was deleted)
reads as "no start", so nothing has to clean up after a deletion.

#53 entered/exited — `On state entered` and `On state exited`, one exec
output per state. Every change now goes through a single `setState`
that reports it; BehaviorSystem delivers it after the exec flow that
caused it, `exited` of the old before `entered` of the new, round after
round until the queue is empty, with a cap that stops a ping-pong graph
with an endless-loop error. A local machine tells the instance that
switched, a global one tells every instance holding a matching event
node. The start state fires `entered` too: per instance for a local
machine, once per run for a global one.

#57 reading — `Current state` with `name` for showing and `id` for
comparing, `Is in state` with one boolean per state. Neither has a
`run`, so `read` learned `def` and `lookup`, and the catalog test knows
this third kind of node.

#54 seeing it — during a run the state machine tab marks every state
some instance is holding faintly, and the one held by the selected
scene object's instance strongly.

rootandClaude Opus 5 8143130ed2 A shared value belongs to no behavior, so it becomes an asset of its own (#91)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m59s
This reverses the design of the previous commit. `PropertyDef.scope` is gone
without replacement: a behavior variable is an object property again, without
exception, and sharing is something you point at rather than something you
declare twice.

A **Variables asset** is declarations and nothing else -- no graph, no position,
never placed, no tab of its own (`TAB_OF_ASSET` is already `Partial<>`, so that
costs no line). A `Variables` node names one through its new `variablesAsset`
setting, empty meaning the behavior's own variables as before, and then reads
and writes one value per key for the whole run. Its property list follows the
chosen source, which was the actual request: a value another graph declared is
now offerable, where before every participant had to declare the name itself.

That deletes more than it adds (-72 lines net): `globalConflicts` and its
run-stopping kind clash, `SetVariableScopeCommand`, the scope picker, both
object-inspector filters and the "shared by the whole run" note on the placed
object. A typo is no longer a silent second variable -- naming an asset is
picking from a list. And two Variables assets may carry the same key without
meeting, because the asset is the key, not the name. The one shape it copies is
the one that already existed: `Set state` picks its machine the same way.

Lifetime is unchanged. The bag is built at `BehaviorSystem.start()` from the
declarations and never written back, so playing in the editor cannot change the
project -- which is the whole reason a counter must not be an object property
(`World.syncToModel` would `commit()` it, and the coin counter would stand at 7
for good).

Full symmetry across that gap, without mirroring anything. Two named wires:
`Inspector.liveVariables` shows the values as they stand while a run is on and
falls back to the declarations when it ends, and `adoptDeclarations()` takes a
key into the run *only where the document changed it since the last sync*.
Without that condition any unrelated project edit would snap a running counter
back to its starting value; a counter-test bends exactly that and falls over.
Nothing was ever cached, incidentally: `GraphInterpreter` only pulse-caches
nodes without a `read`, and the variable node has one. The wire was missing.

The state machine `Scope` row is now an ordinary `enum` row through
`createFieldRow`. It was hand-built from an `HStack` with a ghost dropdown and
began ~34px left of every value above it; the explanations beside `Local` and
`Global` are gone from the menu, the sentence below the row keeps saying it.
Machine scope is otherwise untouched -- `StateMachineAsset.scope`,
`SetMachineScopeCommand`, `stateBag()` and its persistence all stand, so #59
stays closed as built and `Scope` as a type now carries machines alone.

Six counter-proofs, each biting at its own guard. One of them did not bite at
first: the suggestion list was computed twice, in `nodeSection` and
`portSection`, so only the browser test covered the request itself. It is one
named function now, `variableChoices`, with a unit test of its own.
