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.

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
- Check sum 1222 in README and wiki, calculated (1217 + 5)

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.

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.
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.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Refactoring round one: HttpFontStore/HttpSoundStore/HttpTextureStore collapse into a generic
HttpFileStore over a FileStore contract; fontImport/soundImport/textureImport share assetImport
with an ImportKind per sort; ImagePicker/FontPicker/SoundPicker sit on FilePicker and describe
only their row. The group/comment drag logic leaves GraphCanvas for annotationDrag.ts (with its
own unit test), declaredRows.ts replaces the duplicated row build in particles.ts and shaders.ts,
and dead code in font/sound/compile/emission/transform/actions is gone. README: asset list,
check count 958, the two-job CI, the Scenes wiki page.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

A state keeps its `in`/`out` exec pins in the model and the editor never draws
them. That is the whole trick: connecting, undo, deleting a state and saving all
keep working untouched, because `normalizeGraph` filters nodes and never edges,
and no edge ever checks its port key against a NodeDef. Only two places change --
`NodeView.redraw` stops drawing the row, and `portAt` refuses to hand one out, so
an invisible pin cannot be grabbed either.
Transitions are drawn by right-clicking a state, `Make transition`, then clicking
the target. The armed mode takes the same shape as a live drag, so the existing
preview draws it with no second code path, and it dies with Escape, a click on
empty canvas or a switch to another asset.
Removing the pins removed the only handle a transition had: edges have no
hit-test anywhere, and the pin right-click was the sole route to Disconnect.
The inspector's TRANSITIONS OUT / TRANSITIONS IN lists are therefore not a
convenience, they are the delete path.
`GraphEdge` gained an optional `label`, which `normalizeGraph` has to pass
through explicitly or a saved name is dropped on load. `State transition`
replaces `Next state`: it takes the machine on an input port and the name from a
picker, and resolves against the *current* state. Names are deliberately not
unique across a machine -- two states may both have an `alarm` -- so a node named
`alarm` moves whichever state has one, and an empty name follows the single
unnamed edge.
The geometry moved to a Pixi-free `transitions.ts`: a gap to the box border, and
a fan that puts a pair of opposite edges beside each other instead of on top of
each other. Keeping it as plain maths is what let a screenshot bug become a unit
test -- an earlier pin-to-pin line ran under the target node and took its
arrowhead with it, because `nodeLayer` sits above `edgeLayer`.
One limit stands and is not fixed here: `ConnectCommand` rejects a second edge
between the same two states ("Already connected"), because every transition
hangs off the same two ports. With names, `A --alarm--> B` beside
`A --seen--> B` is a sensible pair, so this is worth its own issue.

The asset type `particles` is placeable and carries a graph at the same time —
`behavior` was the blueprint. Because a continuous emitter gives birth to particle n
at time n/rate, the whole field is a function of the clock rather than of the frames:
no ring-buffer bookkeeping, exact time jumps, reproducibility as a measurable property.
compile.ts follows compileShader's frame but emits JS closures into a Float64Array
instead of GLSL, and without eval; a node with two consumers is evaluated once.
Drawing is one Pixi ParticleContainer per source, so one draw call.
Collision, wind and braking in flight are out for good — that is the price of the
formula model, not an omission.
The tab count goes from nine to ten, which is exactly the case #84 was built for one
day earlier: at 1280 px the row no longer holds every tab, so guard 14b now asks for
hidden.length > 0 instead of === 0.
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 font asset holds a file and nothing else, the twin of a texture: the server keeps it
content-addressed under data/fonts/{sha256}.{ext}, with the format read from the file's own
four-byte signature (finfo reports fonts inconsistently across libmagic versions). A text
wears one through its ordinary Font property, so overrides, reset, undo and the Properties
node come for free; no font means the editor's own typeface.
The picker lists everything the server holds and renders each row in the face it offers.
The family name is gm-font-<hash16>, never the name inside the file, so two "Regular" cannot
collide. WorldViewport.syncText is the single place that draws it, which covers scene, game
preview and play at once.

Four new rows on sprite, text, collider and container (block TRANSFORM):
scale, rotation in degrees clockwise, mirrorX, mirrorY. As properties they
get override/reset/apply, loading of old projects, write-back after play and
the Properties node for free; camera and behavior have none.
The hierarchy composes T*R*S per level (composeAlongChain replaces
sumAlongChain), so children rotate and scale with their parent. Reparenting
and grouping keep the look (carriedTransform). Drawing goes through
placeNode, the gizmo is a polygon, cull and objectRect use the AABB, drags
are computed in the parent's system.
Colliders are oriented boxes: SAT for box/box, box-circle in the box frame;
exitDistance replaces axisSeparation/axisCorrection, moveAndSlide moves along
the object's own axes.

A shader is an asset carrying a node graph (Texture color, Output, Property,
Color, Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide, Mix, Luminance) that compiles to the GLSL
fragment of a Pixi filter. The Shader tab reuses the Behavior canvas; a sprite
wears a shader through its Shader picker, and the rows below it are the
graph's Property nodes. Property schema, resolution and deviation take the
project because a sprite's rows now live in another asset. The built-in
registry of the prototype is gone; "Adjust colors" ships as a graph in the
fixture and the three example games.

A state machine is an asset whose graph holds one `State` node per state
(no ports, name as title), edited in a new "State machine" tab that reuses
the graph canvas: right-click places "State n", snap toggle shared with the
Behavior tab via SnapToggle. `statemachine` is a value kind like texture
(port, literal node, variable, struct field, tagged list item).
Behaviors use it through `State branch` (one exec output per state) and
`Set state` (one exec input per state; the interpreter now hands `run` the
entry port). States live per behavior instance in NodeContext.states, with
no initial state. Ports derive from the inline picker or a wired
`State machine` literal; BehaviorLookup became GraphLookup with
behavior(id) and machine(id).
The Graph tab is labelled "Behavior" (key unchanged). Unit tests
(state-machine, kinds, catalog, ports), e2e step 26 and README added.

- applyCommands sit on ObjectEditCommand with a revert hook instead of

duplicate holder lookup
- __gm.objectsOf had no caller; the SMB remnant in e2e.sh is gone
Proven: check.sh 797 tests, full e2e 633 checks, smokes 24/19/20 against
the same bundle.

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.

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.
Verified: check.sh 794 tests, full e2e 631 checks, smokes 24/19/20.

An animation asset is a list of pictures (whole textures or frames) with
frames per second and Loop/Once/Ping-pong playback. A sprite wears it
through its texture property, so the picker, instance overrides and the
Properties node work unchanged; there is no dedicated play node.
A different animation starts from its first frame, the same one set again
runs on, so a graph may choose Run or Idle every frame. The clock lives on
the entity, not in props, which the world writes back as overrides. The
AnimationSystem ticks before behaviors, and On animation finished fires
once when a Once animation reaches its end.
The Animation tab plays a preview above a frame strip: reorder by dragging,
Delete, duplicate, + Frames, pause/resume, and wheel zoom about the pointer
with pan and Fit. Scene and Container tabs show the first frame; edit mode
has no clock. Right-clicking a texture creates an animation from its frames.
Button now measures its label with the bold font it draws in, which cut
the Animation tab and red dialog buttons short.

A reference search over every export and method in src/ found code that
only tests still called, or that was never called at all:
- RemoveSceneObjectCommand: the product only removes through the
multi-object command; the tests now use that one too.
- NodeRegistry.requireNodeDef: a second function of the same name in
commands/require.ts raises a CommandError instead of throwing, and is
the one the product uses. The twin invited the wrong import.
- isTextureAsset, listContainers, AssetTabEditor.show,
FocusManager.destroy, KeyboardBridge.selectAll and the getters
ColorField.value, ListView.selected, NumberField.number.
Also: Theme.controlActive now matches the resting control colour, and a
new note asks what editing the graph during play would take.

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.

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.

Get properties / Set properties work like their variable counterparts:
one port per chosen property, an unconnected input writes its inline
value. A port chosen from the built-in list keeps that property's field
and default (height starts at 100, color is a colour field). "object" is
reserved for the fixed input, checked by the command and on load.
The property picker names the owning type ("Sprite width"), and text
fields can now carry a suggestion list; Get/Set property use it.
Double-clicking a call node shows the path of opened behaviors under the
graph header. Clicking an entry jumps back and trims the path; choosing
a behavior any other way hides it. Reopening a behavior already on the
path steps back to it instead of repeating it. The bar shows before the
graph switches, otherwise it clips the graph that was just fitted.
The "Add node..." header button is gone; nodes come from the context menu.

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, ...).
