Recurring cleanup round over the code since round 7 (bc688f3). The
issue now also asks to fix bugs and small inconsistencies found on the
way, so unlike the rounds before, this one changes behaviour in a few
places. Duplicated code in api went from 23 clones with 228 lines to
none (jscpd, at least 50 tokens). In src it stays at 22 clones with
271 lines, the same before and after.
Bugs:
- nginx served project and snapshot files as they were, so anyone who
knew a project id could read it without signing in. Every file the
API writes now goes through AtomicFile (temp file, mode, rename).
Projects, snapshots, releases, accounts and sessions are 0640, and
nginx answers 403 for them.
- Any signed-in account could delete a shared image, font or sound,
which projects of other accounts may wear. Deleting one is now for
administrators only. The editor never deleted a file, so the
client's delete is gone.
- Two saves of one project could run at once. The lock file was
removed after each save, so a waiting save and the next one locked
different files. The lock file now stays, and deleting a project
takes the lock as well.
- Bytes that are no picture got a 500 instead of a 422, because the
error handler also threw for warnings silenced with @.
- A session file was rewritten in place. A request reading it at that
moment found it empty and was signed out. It is replaced atomically.
- Delete did nothing for a shape picked in the vector art list. Delete
now goes through removeSelection, one case per kind of selection,
and a kind without a case fails the type check.
Inconsistencies:
- Escape on a question does what its Cancel does. Cancel on "Delete
project?" and "Restore snapshot?" leads back to the picker or the
list like the other questions did, and so does deleting a project.
- Editor texts use American spelling throughout, like the port names:
48 British spellings in 45 lines (colour, centre, initialised).
- objectName and groupName replace eleven copies of "own name, else
the asset's" and three of "Group". One copy fell back to the object
id instead of "?".
Duplicates, dead code, comments:
- routeFiles serves images, fonts and sounds instead of three copies.
HashedFileStore holds what the three stores shared: keeping a file
under its hash with its name, listing and deleting. The stores keep
only which bytes they take and what a record says.
- AtomicFile replaces nine copies of temp file plus rename.
- removeShapes is the one way the canvas, the inspector button and
Delete take shapes out.
- GraphInterpreter.fire was called by tests only. The 54 calls use a
helper in tests/helpers.ts now.
- FileStore.delete, HttpFileStore.delete and the PluginApi type were
unused. A doc comment in actions.ts sat above the wrong function.
Checked and left as is:
- solidCells is used by tests only. It is the per-cell view before the
merge into rectangles, the one place the largest-scale rule shows.
- An undo checker ran all 124 commands of the unit tests and compared
the project before and after undo. The only differences are empty
ports, groups and notes lists where there were none, which the file
format drops anyway.
Docs:
- README: the check sum.
- Wiki, own commit: API (admin-only deletes, 422, file modes, lock
file), Home (the "Not yet" list named three things that exist),
Concepts, Keyboard, Vector art, Architecture and Development, and
the 38 characters Gitea flagged as ambiguous on eight pages.
- .gitignore: the lock files, and pasted-*.png in any folder, which
keeps the screenshot archive out.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 195 files, 2817 tests, exit 0 (+2 for the name helpers).
- PHP: accounts 52 in the web container and 53 in the CI image with
the race test (+2), snapshots 15 (+1), releases 20.
- Full e2e run: ALL PASSED, 1586 checks (+6 in 12, 47, 49 and 50).
- Smokes jumprun, tetris, actor: 24, 19 and 21 checks. The example
project files were restored byte for byte afterwards.
- The file stores of HEAD and of this commit give byte-identical
output for the live folders and for store, list and delete in a
throwaway folder.
- Counter-checks, all fail as expected: a 500 for bad bytes fails 12,
no admin check fails 49, removing the lock file again loses saves
in 3 of 3 runs (151 to 170 of 321), Delete ignoring shapes fails 47,
Escape that only closes fails 50, and dropping the shape case fails
the type check (TS2366).

The image picker scrolls once the texture store holds more images than
fit into the dialog. The hook imagePickerTile still reports the tile
position then, so the click in module 12 landed outside the visible
list and picked nothing. Locally spare.png sat at place 27 of 32, and
the full run broke off in module 12 with "Texture not found".
- FilePicker exposes its scroll area as listView.
- The new test hook __gm.imagePickerRect() returns that area.
- Both tile clicks in module 12 wheel the tile into view first with
the existing inView helper, as modules 41 and 43 do.
The editor behaves the same. Only the hook is new. The texture store
is shared with real projects, so the seed does not clean it up.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 188 files, 2746 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- GM_STEPS=10,12: ALL PASSED, 58 checks
- Full local run: ALL PASSED, 1535 checks
- Counter-check: the old module 12 against the same bundle gives
6 FAILED (selected: null, then "Texture not found")

The suite spent 88% of its step time asleep: 564 s of steps, 496 s of
them in sleep(n) - fixed spans estimated by hand and then copied from
step to step. That is why it was slow, and why it flickered.
The signal is afterFrames(count, timeout) in ui/render.ts, exposed as
__gm.afterFrames(). It wakes the loop itself, because an editor that
draws nothing would never redeem a promise of a frame, and it gives up
after a timeout instead of hanging the run. settle() in the harness
waits two drawn frames (~32 ms) instead of 150-300 ms and falls back to
sleep(150) when the hook is missing (an old build): silently not
waiting would make every later check a coin toss.
Every action goes through it now - click, doubleClick, wheel, drag,
dragAsset, press, typeText, select, mutate, undo, redo - and with that
about 550 sleep() calls behind those actions became redundant, helpers
that are nothing but a mutate in a coat included. What a frame cannot
answer got its own condition instead: waitUntil(expr), play()/stop()
waiting on __gm.state.mode rather than on 300 ms, saved() for the
autosave (the two hand-written polling loops sampled at 300 ms for
something that arrives after a second), and showTab() as a real tool -
47 places called evaluate("__gm.showTab(...)") raw, and 24 of them
waited for nothing at all and read the old panel.
564 s -> 243 s of step time, the waiting share 88% -> 76%. Three kinds
of wait were kept, and each one bit when it was taken away: loading
bytes (textures, fonts), game time that a repaint cannot stand in for
(time scale, shader and particle clocks, the live values a running
graph carries), and the inertia the scroll step measures on purpose.
Two things the new speed uncovered, both real: 25-animation read the
frame menu unfiltered and had frozen an incomplete list (the CI failure
on c990dbc), and 33-render-on-change measured idleness while the
autosave of the step before was still painting - it waits for
saveStatus to leave dirty/saving now, so it measures that nothing
happens any more instead of that it waited long enough.
The twin of the font picker fixed earlier today: every tile was a Graphics
carrying its sprite and caption, which Pixi v8 answers with "addChild:
Only Containers will be allowed to add children". The background moves
into its own Graphics inside a Container, and the step watches the console
while the picker opens, as the font one does.
Editor suite: 784 checks.

An upload sends its file name next to the raw bytes, and the server keeps
it in a sidecar next to the content-addressed file. Both pickers caption
every tile and row with it, and an asset made there is named after the
file instead of "Texture" / "Font". Last upload of the same content wins.
The API's own set_error_handler ignores error_reporting(), so @-silenced
warnings still throw: a missing sidecar took the whole listing down with a
500. Existence is checked instead of suppressed.

A sprite's picture is now a Mesh (unit quad, sibling of its Graphics node, which keeps
only the hit area); a worn shader replaces Pixi's fragment in that draw, so there is no
intermediate texture and no extra render pass. Measured on the HD 630: 400 shaded
sprites hold 60 fps (was 34), 800 hold 56 (was 20).
Two Pixi facts the code leans on: a mesh's texture is bound only for Pixi's own shader,
so GraphShader.wear hands it over; and MeshPipe caches whether a mesh batches and
re-checks it only in a frame without structure changes, so switching a shader on or
off calls mesh.unload().
The console panel mirrors console.group/groupCollapsed/groupEnd and fills the %s %d
%o %c directives, so Pixi's deprecation warning shows its head, not only its stack.
E2E 12 guards against the addChild-on-Graphics warning, 28 counts shaders instead of
filters.

Dropdown labels are now Linear (default) and Nearest; the stored values
linear/nearest are unchanged, old project files load as before.
e2e 12c-ii measures in Play at camera zoom 1.37 (screen scale 1.434): a
Nearest edge sampled across seven pixels is byte-identical with and without
a neutral Adjust colors shader, and brightness 0.5 on the same path darkens,
so the pass really runs there. New hook __gm.gameRect(id).

- `.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.

Split GraphCanvas (1076 -> 831 lines) into EdgeLayer and graphMenus;
the port and marker menus were the same list and are now one function.
Value specs of the inspector and the list tab share valueSpecs.ts, and
the remaining copies (compound commands, type glyphs, typed asset
lookup, name rule, play/editor world setup, marquee) are merged.
Four copies had already drifted apart; merging them fixes:
- "Disconnect N links" in the port menu is one undo step, not N
- "+ Add collider" is hidden on a placed container instance, as in
the hierarchy menu, instead of always failing
- a bool property coerced from the text "false" becomes false
- a port command on an unknown node type reports instead of crashing
Comment-only edits leave the bundle byte-identical. README corrected in
35 places (step limit, jump-run clock, suite duration, 409 body, ...).

The sprite takes the whole image at its pixel size and the texture's name,
numbered like any other clash. CreateAssetCommand now accepts starting
properties; they go through the schema in execute, so an unknown key or a
bad value is refused before the project is touched, and one undo removes
the asset.

The pixel-art check falls over sporadically, and its follow-up hid it. That one only
asked whether some pixel across the border is blended – but in the failing case the
`nearest` reading is already blurred, so the `linear` one is too, and the check passed
while saying nothing about whether the switch had any effect at all.
It now also demands that the picture actually changed against the `nearest` reading:
the summed colour distance over the five sample points must exceed 150. Measured on the
readings recorded in the note, a working switch drifts 425 and a hung one 0 – and 30
even if every channel were off by two, so the threshold is not brittle against noise.
Exact equality was the first draft and would have gone green on a single wobbling bit.
Both checks now carry `__gm.textureFilter(file)` in their message, so a failure says by
itself whether the model never switched, the switch missed the GPU sampler, or the
pixels were measured wrong.
The cause of the sporadic failure is still unknown; four hypotheses are measured and
ruled out in the note, which is filed with that stated plainly.
"+ → Texture" opened the machine's file dialog, so a picture that was uploaded once
but lost its asset – an undone import, a deleted asset – was unreachable from the
editor while still sitting on the server. Nothing collects those files, by design.
It now opens a grid of every picture the server holds, with thumbnails: pick one and
"Use image" makes a texture asset on that file, "Upload…" is the way in for bytes the
server does not have yet and lands in the same import as a drop. A tile captioned with
an asset name is one this project already wears – picking it selects that asset instead
of making a second one, since two assets on one file would fight over `filter`.
- `GET ?r=textures` now reports `width`/`height`; a texture asset holds the pixel size,
and reading it off the GPU texture would tie the asset's correctness to load timing.
- `TextureLibrary.load(file)` loads without touching `scaleMode` – a thumbnail must not
restage the filter of a picture the scene is drawing with.
- The grid geometry lives in `texture/imageGrid.ts` as pure functions; inside the widget
no test could reach it.
- The part after an upload is now one function shared by the drop import and the picker,
so "one file = one asset" is stated in a single place.
12 new E2E checks; the strongest one undoes an import, leaving the file on the server
with no asset naming it, and picks exactly that file back out of the dialog.
A scene now stores only the container object; its content is resolved from
the template on every read, with deviations kept as sparse instanceEdits on
the container object. This drops the propagation bookkeeping entirely --
templateSync.ts is gone and the three structural gaps (add, remove, reparent)
cannot diverge any more.
Values stay editable on an instance, structure does not; Unpack writes the
content into the scene, keeping ids. Play mode bakes containers into the
throwaway copy before entities are built. No migration: formatVersion is 2
and the seeders write the new format.

Remove comments that only restate the code, keeping the section banners
and the notes that carry a reason, a measured fact or an external
contract.
ButtonOptions.width claimed to be a fixed width but only set minWidth,
so the Graph and Texture pickers grew with the name they showed. It is
now what it promises, with a separate minWidth for the buttons that have
two forms. Narrow buttons shrink their padding, otherwise a 24px icon
button had 8px left for its glyph and truncate dropped it entirely.
__gm.labelsDropped() guards that class: the overflow guard only saw text
that was too wide, never a label truncated to nothing.

- NumberField takes a decimals option (default 3); frame rects and the
slice dialog use 0, matching their integer model.
- Button truncates its label to the drawn width; Dropdown reserves the
chevron slot. NodeView reuses the shared truncate().
- Setting scaleMode leaves the style's shared resource id in place, so
the old GPU sampler stayed in use until a reload. Call style.update().
- Graph gets a header bar like the Texture tab: GraphEditor is now the
frame, the former editor is GraphCanvas. A selection the tab does not
concern no longer unloads the behavior.
- New e2e step 14 guards text overflow across all widgets.

Images are uploaded to a content-addressed blob endpoint and stored as
data/textures/<sha256>.<ext>; the project only keeps the file name. The
sprite points at a texture asset through an ordinary property of the new
kind `asset`, so instance overrides, "Apply to container", "Reset to
asset", undo and `Set property` work without any extra code. The new kind
also replaces the ad-hoc asset picker the graph nodes faked as an enum.
Import goes through + -> Texture, drag & drop onto the canvas or Ctrl+V.
Images wider than 2048px are downscaled client-side and re-encoded to
WebP if needed, because nginx caps uploads at 1MB; an image that already
fits is uploaded byte for byte so pixel art is never resampled.
The sprite colour default changes from red to white, since colour tints
the texture multiplicatively and a tint of white shows an image as it is.
