adminandClaude Opus 5.5 fb981b5b0f Let the agent copy nodes, also into another graph (#434)
The agent built every part again that already stood in a graph,
node by node, while the editor has Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V for it. The new
command `copy_nodes` in the area graphs copies nodes into the same
graph or another one, in one undo step with the rest of the call.

- The links between the copied nodes come along, and so do groups
  and comments that are only about copied nodes. A node belongs to a
  group by its middle, as when it is dragged. `boxesAbout` in
  annotationFollow.ts decides this.
- `made` names each copy by the id of its original, so later steps
  link to it with `$copy.<id>`. `$copy` alone is the first one.
- Without x and y the copies are arranged at the end of the call like
  new nodes. With them they keep their layout, top left corner there.
- Nodes the target graph does not take are refused by name, not left
  out as Ctrl+V does. The rule is the graph tab's: `fitsGraph` and
  `fittingPart` moved from clipboard.ts to paletteEntries.ts.
- A copied Variables node takes the variables of its behavior along
  into the target behavior (`CarryVariablesCommand`), with default,
  value, Keep and Private. A variable of that name of another kind
  there is refused.
- The relay's instructions name `copy_nodes`.

Found on the way:
- Groups made by the agent can take in a node of another group once
  the nodes are arranged. lint_graph does not count that.
- Undo after a paste leaves an empty `groups: []`, as
  AddAnnotationCommand does. It is the same as no list.

Tests:
- agent-copy (new, 3 tests) with the agent, relay, clipboard and
  palette tests: 118/118.
- Counter-probes: 6 bendings, all compile, all red.
- e2e 71 (atx): ALL PASSED, 26 checks.
- Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 327 files, 5024 tests.
- Live in the MCP Test Project: 5 nodes of Arrow keys walk into a new
  behavior, 6 links, group, comment and speed (300) along, lint_graph
  0 everywhere, taken back with undo.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 2c19c89878 Let variables, fields, ports and list items be dragged into order (#310)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m10s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 19m34s
Variables of a behavior, the fields of a struct, the ports of a start
or end node and the items of a list could only be added and removed.
Changing their order meant removing and adding them again. Now each of
them is dragged by the mark in front of its row.

- sortBlocks (ui/blockDrag.ts) makes the rows of one column sortable.
  A block is every row it covers, so a struct moves with its fields and
  a list item with its nested list. The block is dimmed while it is
  carried, an accent line shows where it lands, and a scrolled panel
  follows the pointer at its edge. Less than 4 px stays a click.
- The arithmetic is pure and lives in ui/sortable.ts: blockGap,
  gapLineY, dropSlot and edgeScroll. dropIndex of the tile strip moved
  there too, so the reorder maths sits in one file.
- MoveVariableCommand, MoveStructFieldCommand and MovePortCommand
  build on the existing MoveCommand. Undo moves back.
- Lists need no command. InlineList replaces the list as a whole, as
  it does for every other edit of its items.
- The grip is the kind mark, for a list item its number. Moving only
  happens among siblings: a field stays in its struct.
- On a Struct asset the move runs through WithStructTypes. Typed
  variables, Pack/Expand ports and split outputs follow the new order.
- Values and edges hang on names, so only the order changes. Nodes
  running a behavior read their ports from the start node, the new
  order reaches them without a copy.
- Not sortable by design: the variables of a placed object, the fields
  of a typed struct (moved on the Struct asset) and the picked ports
  of Variables/Properties nodes.
- Test hook __gm.inspectorMark(label) finds the mark of a row.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 235 files, 3572 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+9).
- tests/core/reorder.test.ts: a variable, a field two levels deep, a
  Struct asset reaching a typed variable and Pack, and start ports
  reaching the calling node with edges and result kept.
- e2e 22: ALL PASSED, 39 checks (+4, sum 1739). 22f-iii drags a
  variable past a struct of several rows, then a field inside it.
- Counter-probes: dropSlot by top edge instead of middle and a field
  move that ignores its path fail 3 unit tests. With sortBlocks
  switched off, the three order checks of 22f-iii fail.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 bc688f3efc Refactoring round 7: split BehaviorSystem, fewer copies (#85)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m50s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 12m3s
Recurring cleanup round over the code since round 6 (056a622), 105
commits. Behaviour is unchanged. Duplicated code in src went from 29
clones with 229 lines (0.32 %) to 14 clones with 109 lines (0.15 %),
measured with jscpd and the same settings as round 6.

- BehaviorSystem.ts shrinks from 941 to 589 lines. Collecting the
  pulses (keys, timers, collisions, animations) moved to
  behaviorPulses.ts. The NodeContext the nodes receive moved to
  behaviorContext.ts. Imports from outside stay the same, TimeScaled
  is still exported from BehaviorSystem.ts.
- PointKindButton and drawPointGrip replace the "Point:" button with
  its menu and the point and handle drawing that the curve and the
  vector art tab each had on their own.
- lerpVec, cubicAt and splitCubic in src/core/util/vec.ts replace four
  copies of the cubic curve and two de Casteljau splits.
- mapNested in Properties.ts is the one walk over lists and structs
  that liveObjects and objectRefs did separately. withFieldRenamed
  and withoutField replace three copies of renaming a struct field
  and two of removing one.
- jsonBody and staleRevision build the JSON body and turn a 409 into
  StaleRevisionError for all stores. The auth store turns a 401 into
  its error in one place.
- Smaller helpers: structAssetFrom for the two "Make struct type"
  commands, shownObject in the inspector, selectedItem for the size
  gizmo and the polygon corners, solidTiles in the tilemap collision,
  requireVariablesAsset and requireBehaviorVariable.
- Left as is on purpose: the plain forwarding from the collision and
  physics systems to Solids, the pointer wiring of the canvases and
  the identical last lines of the two make commands.
- Removed unused code: tilemapTileIds and tilemapsUsing were never
  called since #128 and #131. EditorState.runtimeProject became unused
  with GameRun in #266. The assetId getter of the make commands was
  read only by a test.
- 60 values used only in their own file lost their export. The shader
  and particle node catalogues stay exported as in round 6.
- Five comments that told history now describe the current state. The
  doc comment of BehaviorSystem sits on the class again.
- README lists the struct, clip area and curve assets and mentions the
  game link from #266.

Findings:
- Deleting a tile that is painted on a tilemap leaves its cells in
  place, and they draw nothing. The delete dialog does not mention the
  tilemaps. That was probably the job of the unused tilemapsUsing.
  Left as is, because fixing it changes behaviour.
- The solid filter for tile surfaces was untested. A bent filter
  stayed green. A new test in tests/core/surface.test.ts now fails
  against it.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 195 files, 2815 tests, exit 0 (one test removed with
  tilemapsUsing, one added for tile surfaces).
- Full e2e run: ALL PASSED, 1580 checks.
- Smokes jumprun, tetris, actor: 24, 19 and 21 checks, all passed.
  The example project files were restored byte for byte afterwards.
- Counter-checks, 12, all fail as expected: 10 in unit tests (among
  them mapNested, splitCubic, cubicAt, staleRevision, the stay pulse,
  the late timer and the time scale), 2 in the browser (Point button
  always enabled fails 47, selectedItem without a hit fails 29).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e8b3ac0a3b Keep behavior variables private to their own graph (#257)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m40s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m56s
A behavior often needs working state such as a timer or a counter.
Until now every variable showed up on each placed object and in the
Properties menu, so the inspector filled up with values nobody should
touch. A private variable works like any other inside its graph but
is not offered anywhere outside.

- Each behavior variable gets a lock switch next to Keep. It starts
  off, so existing projects stay as they are (`privateVariables`).
- A placed object shows no private variable, neither in the
  inspector nor while the game runs. If all are private, it says so.
- Switching a variable to private drops its overrides on every
  placed object in one undo step. Switching back does not restore
  them.
- A running game does not write a private value back as an
  override, and a project change during the run does not reset it.
- `+ Property` no longer offers private variables. A port that
  names one by hand still reads and writes it without a warning.
- The default value of a private variable is read-only in the asset
  inspector. Its shape (name, fields, type, delete) stays editable.
- Keep is now a pin icon instead of a word. With the lock added, the
  header of a list variable had no room left and the lock covered
  `+ Item`.

Not done: the animation track picker still offers private variables.

Tests: ./check.sh -> 186 files, 2711 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
e2e 1,19,20,21,56 -> ALL PASSED, 119 checks. New module 56 has
7 checks with a real mouse. Counter-checks fail as expected: unit
without the write-back filter, the sync guard, dropping overrides or
loading the flag. Browser with all variables on the object, an
unfiltered menu, or no value lock.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 cf6565d108 Start new behavior variables with Keep switched off
Keep is a choice the author makes per variable. Switching it on for
every new variable meant most behaviors carried state across runs that
nobody asked for, and the toggle had to be turned off by hand.

- AddVariableCommand no longer adds a new variable to keptVariables.
  Keep is only switched on by hand.
- Existing projects are unchanged. Their keptVariables stay as saved.
- The comment in Asset.ts describes the new default.
- The counter fixture in keep-state.test.ts now keeps count
  explicitly instead of relying on the old default.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 2706 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 1, 6, 19: ALL PASSED, 172 checks
- 19c-ii expects [] after adding, then ["var1"], [] and ["var1"]
  after undo, all clicked with the real mouse
- Before the fixtures were adjusted, 8 unit tests failed on the new
  default

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 61bbb96a96 Define a struct once as an asset and reuse its shape (#253)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m30s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m33s
A struct used to declare its fields wherever it stood. The same shape
in two variables meant typing it twice, and Pack/Expand copied it once
without staying in sync. A Struct asset now holds the shape in one
place, and every struct that picks it as its type follows it.

- New asset type "Struct" (not placeable, group Structs, own icon).
  The inspector shows its fields with name, kind and default value,
  and "Open" shows them in the variables tab.
- Struct variables and struct fields get a Type row: own fields, any
  Struct asset, or "Make struct type". With a type the fields come
  from the asset and cannot be added, renamed or removed there. The
  values stay per variable, overrides on placed objects still work.
- Pack and Expand get the setting Type. With a type their ports are
  the fields of the asset and read-only in the inspector.
- A change to the asset reaches every typed place in one undo step
  (syncStructTypes). A new field arrives with its default. A removed
  field goes along with its port, edge and typed value. A renamed
  field keeps its value in variables, overrides and on ports with
  edges, also through nested types.
- Undo for these edits records plain assignments (Recorder), because
  the reach of a change is not known in advance.
- Cycles such as Loot in Loot, also through another type, are refused
  and not offered in the picker.
- Deleting the asset names how many places use it. Afterwards each
  place keeps its fields as its own.
- Loading reshapes a stale copy in a project file to its type.
- "Make struct type" creates an asset from an existing struct and
  links the place to it.

Differs from the plan:

- A changed default value applies to new fields and newly typed
  places only. Existing values stay.
- Removing a single field shows no warning. Undo brings it back.

Typed lists are left for #254. Lists stay dynamic for now.

Found by e2e: after deleting or renaming the type the inspector did
not rebuild and kept showing the old name. Fixed, the check was red
before.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 182 files, 2661 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- GM_STEPS=1,4,21,22,54: ALL PASSED, 176 checks
- 14 unit tests in tests/core/struct-types.test.ts
- New e2e module 54 with 14 checks, real mouse. Module 04 counts
  23 asset types.
- Counter-probes: without the rename pass 4 unit tests fail, without
  reshaping values 8, without the cycle rule 1. In the browser,
  without spreading changes and with + Field despite a type, 3
  checks fail.

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 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 d3563897d8 Two compilers that walk a graph the same way walk it through one emitter (#85)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 2m22s
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m53s
Refactoring round two: the particle and shader compilers share emitGraph.ts (cycle detection,
duplicate names, emit order) and keep only their rules. FontLibrary and TextureLibrary sit on
FileLibrary (base URL, loading/failed bookkeeping, listeners); SoundLibrary keeps its own
contract. The three Create*Command share ImportFileCommand, the three renames share
RenameCommand - class names stay. bandBounds() in framing.ts and portNameField() in
portSection.ts replace in-file clones, and three comments that told history now state the rule.

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.

rootandClaude Opus 5 d1fcfe8b81 A shared value belongs to the run, so a declaration carries its scope (#91)
A variable or a state machine declared `global` keeps one value for the whole
run instead of one per behavior instance. The scope sits on the declaration --
`PropertyDef.scope` and `StateMachineAsset.scope`, both optional, absence
meaning `local` -- and `local` is never written, so every project made before
this saves back unchanged.

**The name is the key.** Two behaviors declaring a global `score` mean one
variable; a behavior declaring `score` locally keeps its own. Kinds that
disagree about one global name stop the run before it starts, with the two
behaviors named; starting values that disagree are a warning on the behavior
that declares it, and the first declaration wins (`globalConflicts`).

The runtime needs no redirection layer. A global variable falls out of
`schemaForObject`, so it never reaches `entity.props` -- and then the whole rule
is "whoever declares the name takes their own value" (`graph/sharedState.ts`).
The `Variables` node is untouched and stays transparent: switching a variable to
global breaks no existing graph, because `GraphInterpreter.readAll` builds a
fresh object per read anyway and only asks `port.key in all`.

That same cut answers the inspector. A shared value has no owner, so the placed
object shows no row for it and can hold no override -- `SetVariableScopeCommand`
takes the deviations that were there and undo gives them back.

Both places say it in words rather than leaving a glyph to be guessed: the
declaration explains the mark below the list, and the placed object names the
variable it no longer holds instead of claiming the behavior declares none --
which is what it said before, untruthfully. Screenshots of the e2e run turned
that up; no check had been looking at it.

`SharedState` hangs off `NodeContext`, is built in `BehaviorSystem.start()` from
the *declarations* rather than from any instance (a global variable exists
before its behavior is placed), and is thrown away with the run: nothing is
written back, not even in the editor run. `GraphInterpreter.call` passes it on
through `...ctx` while nested calls keep getting fresh local variables, which is
why `program.defaults` is stripped of global keys.

Two traps this hit. `defSignature`/`assetSignature` have to carry the scope or
the inspector does not rebuild after the switch -- and a state machine has no
rows at all, so its scope is appended to the signature by hand. And the object
inspector does not go through `schemaForObject` for behaviors, it reads
`asset.variables` directly; filtering in one place was not enough, and no unit
test covered that path. The e2e caught it (`global: true` where false belonged),
and the rule now lives in one named function, `objectRows`.

Scopes `object` and `scene` are deliberately not built. The object case already
has a route (`Object by name` -> `Properties`), and a run knows exactly one
scene, so `scene` would be indistinguishable from `global` until #39 exists.

Closes #59: a machine's scope is a word on the machine asset, not a setting per
`Set state` node, so the same machine cannot live in two places at once.

rootandClaude Opus 5 3ed8b68ecf Describe every value kind in one table instead of spreading it over the code
A kind like colour or texture used to be spelled out in five parallel
lists, its port type, its empty value, its glyph, its label and its list
tag - 22 literal places for texture alone. core/properties/kinds.ts now
holds one row per kind and the rest is derived from it, so adding a kind
is one row. The five literal nodes collapse into literals.ts, the six
kind menus into one helper.

Number, Text, Boolean is now the one order everywhere; the variable and
port menus used to list Boolean before Text.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 11c900c998 Drop the per-list item declaration; every item carries its own kind
A list no longer says what its items are. ListDef.items, ListDef.fields,
ListFieldDef.items and SetListItemsCommand are gone; the single seam is
src/core/properties/listItems.ts. JSON already tells number, text, boolean
and struct apart, so only two kinds need a tag: {"$color": n} and the new
{"$texture": id}. Field names cannot start with "$", so a tag never
collides with a struct field. On a data link a texture item arrives as
its bare id; the graph has no images.

List tab: the mark in front of each row is the kind picker, "+ Item"
asks for the kind, both are ordinary value edits (one undo step). A list
inside a struct field only offers the flat kinds because the depth rule
forbids a struct item there (ListAccess.kinds); the menu used to offer
it and silently do nothing.

Legacy lists that declared items: 'color' are tagged on load.

Actor demo: the four walk animations and four standing frames live in
two list variables of texture items indexed by facing (Item at), so the
graph can be rebuilt in the editor. The stand frames get their grid ids
back; 44 nodes instead of 46.

Also: the user's edits to on-start-during-play.md and the new note
reseed-because-of-list.md.

rootandClaude Opus 5 58f19a3451 Replace the property nodes with one Properties node
Get/Set property, Get/Set properties, Set enabled and Set text are gone.
A single Properties node takes a fixed "object" input; every chosen
property is an output that reads the current value, and one switched to
Set is also an input written when the flow arrives. Exec pins only exist
while at least one entry writes.

The node carries a type (Sprite, Text, Collider, Camera, Container,
Behavior, Any) that decides what "+ Property" offers: the fields of that
type, the variables of the chosen behavior, or for Any a kind to pick
and a name to type. Each port takes the default and field of its type,
so a Camera width starts at 640. Switching the type keeps the ports and
marks those the new type lacks. At runtime the type is only an editor
aid; the node writes to whatever object it gets.

Old project files are converted on load. The type is inferred from the
keys: the first object type that has them all, else the one behavior
that declares them all, else Any. enabled belongs to every object, so a
converted Set enabled lands on Any.

The jump-run and tetris seeders use Properties throughout; draw-piece
switches its cell on in the same node that sets the colour.

rootandClaude Opus 5 7c63c884ef Replace the five variable nodes with one Variables node
A single node now lists any number of variables. Every entry is an output
that reads the current value whenever it is pulled; an entry switched to
Set is also an input and is written when the flow arrives. Exec pins only
exist while at least one entry writes, and all inputs are read before any
write, so one node can swap two variables.

Get/Set variable, Get/Set variables and Variable are gone. Old project
files are converted on load: each old node becomes a Variables node with
the same variables, edges and typed values.

A written port without a typed value now shows the zero of its kind on
the node body, matching what the inspector shows and what the run writes.

rootandClaude Opus 5 8f92a06c84 Consolidate duplicated editor code, trim comments, refresh README
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, ...).

rootandClaude Opus 5 10d030376a Finish the struct and list leftovers: inline lists, list fields, item kinds
An unconnected list input is a button into the List tab instead of a number
field; a struct field can hold a list, so ListSlot carries an optional field
name and the three owner cases only say what sits at a key; and a list
variable picks its item kind in the inspector (marker doubles as the chooser),
so a list of structs no longer has to be born from a project file.

The declaration keeps the storable shapes finite: a struct field may be a list,
but that list holds primitives only, so list->struct->primitive and
struct->list->primitive are the two deepest forms.

check 674, e2e 483, jump-run 24, Tetris 19.

rootandClaude Opus 5 f60358c951 Let a list hold structs, and read or write variables in bundles
A list item may now be a struct. The depth is bounded in the declaration
rather than by a comment: FieldKind (number|text|boolean|color) says what a
struct field holds, ListItemKind adds struct on top and says what a list
holds, so list -> struct -> primitive is the deepest storable shape and
sameValue stays finite. A struct item renders inline in the List tab, which
is why it needs no path in the slot address.

Four paths silently assumed a list item was a primitive: sameValue compared
items with ===, textOf would have printed [object Object], asListItem turned
a struct into text on Set item and Fill, and Index of used indexOf, which is
reference equality and could never have found a struct.

Tetris now runs on bundles. shapes is 112 {x, y} structs instead of 224 loose
numbers, piece and the candidate are structs, so Next move hands back a whole
candidate and each strand packs only the field it changes, since mergeStruct
leaves the rest standing. Declared behavior ports drop 49 -> 35, the master's
variables 18 -> 13, its graph 84/94 -> 69/76 nodes/edges.

Get variables and Set variables declare their ports from a list of variable
names, the way Pack and Expand already do, so one node can read or write
several at once. Renaming a variable rewires them, because there the port key
is the variable name.

rootandClaude Opus 5 0449218cb6 Let a variable declare struct fields
The value type was already there: StructValue, textOf, sameValue,
writeTyped/mergeStruct and the struct port type came with the first
part, and Get/Set variable carry any-ports, so a bundle already flowed
through the graph unchanged. What was missing was the declaration.

PropertyDef gains kind 'struct' with a list of fields, VARIABLE_KINDS a
fifth kind, variableDef a fifth parameter. A declared field is a
primitive - a list field would need a nested editor and therefore the
path in the slot address, the same step "a list of structs" is waiting
for. coerceValue now returns PropertyValue rather than FieldValue, the
first value type that is not a field; none of its five callers break.

In the inspector a struct variable is a block, not a tab. The list tab
exists because hundreds of rows fit in no inspector row; a struct is the
opposite case - few fields that fit under each other. It is the port
editor Pack already has, one level down and with a value column: type,
key and default value in one place. A placed object sees the same fields
as plain value rows: overriding yes, declaring no.

Adding or removing a field touches the declaration, the default, the
behavior's value and every instance override in one command, so a stored
value can never keep a shape its declaration no longer promises. The row
handlers read the bundle at the moment of the change rather than closing
over a snapshot - a field writes the whole bundle, so with a snapshot
the second edited row revives the first one's old value. defSignature
carries the fields, otherwise a new row appears only at the next
rebuild.

Fixes a fixture fault this uncovered: step 10 pushed its text object
into the scene without instanceEdits, which overrideSites walks with
Object.entries. AddStructFieldCommand is the first caller to reach it
from that state; the step was green alone and failed three checks in the
full suite.

Moves the dynamic-ports note to done - all three of its parts are built.

rootandClaude Opus 5 ead649eec3 Resolve container content from the template instead of copying it
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.

rootandClaude Opus 5 4d84231b9f Trim needless comments and fix the picker width
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.

rootandClaude Opus 5 d54a620ebd Add ESLint and Prettier, and close the node test gaps
Tooling:
- Prettier as the single formatting authority (110 columns, single quotes,
  measured against the existing style); Markdown excluded because table-cell
  padding turns the README glossary into 1000-character lines.
- Type-aware ESLint ending in eslint-config-prettier, so a rule always means
  "this is a bug", never "this looks different".
- .editorconfig and an `npm run check` that runs typecheck, lint, format and
  tests in one go.

Findings fixed on the first run: three more duplicate imports, four
String(unknown) calls (parameter types narrowed instead of casts), two dead
initialisers, two redundant casts, a console.log for a real error. Two
warnings were false here and are disabled with a reason in place.

Tests 132 -> 269:
- node-catalog.test.ts covers every node with a run(), with a guard that fails
  when a new node has no row.
- behavior-events.test.ts covers the ten event nodes through a running World,
  checking timing rather than existence.
- Input's state machine (press/release/releaseAll) is reachable without DOM
  events now; the DOM handlers are thin adapters.

Compare fell back to == without a configured operator although the schema
default is <; aligned.

- Graph: nodes.ts split into nodes/<category>/<Type>.ts (62 files) with
  shared.ts factories and index.ts registry; NodeContext/values/NodeRegistry
  separated, writeTyped() replaces duplicated typed writes
- Comments: one style (JSDoc on non-obvious exports, // for decisions and
  traps), wrong/stale comments fixed or removed, ids.ts now real 10 base-36 chars
- Core: chainOf, shared worldPosition/editorPosition core, commands/require.ts,
  commands/naming.ts, util/list.ts, setBagValue/toPosition/propDef; dead code
  removed (isBehaviorAsset, SCENE_OBJECT_SCHEMA, CommandStack.subscribe,
  Input.axis, setMode, titleText, World.worldPosition, unused ctor params)
- Editor: Inspector split into inspector/ sections, App.ts into Editor.ts +
  debugHook.ts + shortcuts.ts, Viewport into items.ts + symbols.ts, shared
  "Add collider" action, unified type labels/swatches
- UI toolkit: Widget.trackHover/onPointerRelease, drawControlBox, math helpers,
  Popup.openBelow, Menu/Dialog/ColorPicker/ListRow in own files, named Theme sizes
- Tools: seed-demo/smoke-demo and demo-check project removed, tools/lib
  (harness, projects, builders), e2e.mjs as runner over tools/e2e/*.mjs sections
- Tests: tests/helpers.ts replaces copied fixtures and NodeContext doubles

rootandClaude Opus 5 76aa441dce Enabled switch, text assets, mouse input and the jump-and-run example game
Engine additions that the example game needed:
- `enabled` as a shared property of every placeable asset (default on, an
  override on the scene object). A switched-off object is not drawn, does not
  collide and its behavior does not run - and neither does anything parented
  below it. Disabled objects are now hidden in the scene view as well, so the
  editor shows what the game shows; they stay in the hierarchy panel, which is
  where they are selected and switched back on.
- Asset type `text` (text, fontSize, color, align), rendered in scene and game.
- Pointer input in the game view: `On click`, `Mouse position`, `Mouse button`,
  `Is hovered`, hit-tested against colliders, else sprite/text footprints.
- New nodes: Set/Is enabled, Set text, Is asset, Name of, Equals, To text,
  Join text, Floor/Ceil/Round, Modulo, Random, Time, Restart game.

Tooling: shared CDP harness (tools/harness.mjs), central project registry with
a guard that keeps destructive scripts off the playground (tools/projects.mjs),
plus smoke suites for the demo scene and the jump-and-run game.
