adminandClaude Opus 5.5 6d79cf59a3 Move a large graph instead of drawing it again (#292)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m44s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 13m55s
In a graph of many nodes the frame rate dropped while panning, and
more so while one node was dragged. Every pointer move rebuilt every
box, every text and every curve, and a drag also announced a changed
project, so the panels rebuilt along with it.

- Panning and zooming move the picture. GraphCanvas.applyView sets
  position and scale and draws anew only the grid and the rubber
  band. It used to call redraw().
- A node draws its box and makes its texts only when what they show
  has changed. NodeView keeps a signature of what redraw reads and
  one of what rebuildTexts reads, and returns early while they hold.
- A drag does not announce a changed project. GraphDrags writes the
  model on every pointer move and asks the canvas once a frame to
  follow (GraphCanvasHost.moved). state.preview() waits for the
  command of the release.
- Nodes outside the picture are not drawn. inView in graphView.ts is
  the rule, cull() applies it after every redraw and every change of
  the view.
- The graph is a render group, and box and pins go into the batch.
  The mask sits on a container above the group, on the group itself
  it would be panned and zoomed along.
- The rubber band and the drop mark of a dragged behavior are drawn
  on their own (drawBand), without a redraw of the graph.

Measured in the CI image with 388 nodes and 540 links, fitted to the
canvas, 240 pointer moves 16 ms apart:

- Pan, script per move: 25.2 ms before, 2.0 ms after
- Pan: 4.4 frames per second before, 18.7 after
- Drag a node: 2.7 frames per second before, 22.4 after
- The still picture: 9 frames per second before, 21 after

Not solved: the still picture of such a graph stays at 21 frames per
second in the test browser. What is left is the drawing itself, and
the frame rates are those of that browser, not of a desktop GPU.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 207 files, 3121 tests (3114 + 7), exit 0
- e2e 4,6,18,19,20,23,24,26,28,31,36,43,51,53 on melektaus-atx: 542
  pass, 1 fail. The fail is module 51 after module 43, an order the
  suite does not have, and it fails the same way without this
  change. Module 51 alone: 12 checks, all pass.
- No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1660 (1656 + 4) is reckoned,
  and the CI workflow is switched off.
- Seven unit tests: six for inView in tests/editor/graph-view.test.ts
  and one in frame-preview.test.ts
- Four e2e checks in block 6z-xii of module 06: pan, drag, zoom in
  and fit, a changed value
- Seven browser counter-probes fail 2 to 3 checks each

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 32a0af6e2c Put the text and boxes of the interface on device pixels
On a screen scaled to 125 % or 150 % the editor looked soft beside
a page the browser draws itself. The layout counts in whole CSS
pixels, and most of those fall between two device pixels there. The
GPU averages both: text loses its edges, and a 1 px line becomes a
pixel and a half of mixed colour. Now text and boxes are rounded to
device pixels, and a line is one device pixel wide.

- ui/pixelGrid.ts holds the rule. crispText() makes a text with
  Pixi's roundPixels, crisp() does the same for a Graphics of
  upright boxes, and hairline() is the width of one device pixel.
- Every text of the interface is made with crispText() instead of
  new Text().
- crisp() only rounds where the scale is not a whole number. At
  100 % and 200 % nothing changes.
- drawControlBox, drawHeaderBar and drawSectionBand draw their
  lines a hairline wide and flush with the edge. The widgets that
  draw lines of their own do the same.
- Two bands share exactly the line they draw, and a column still
  ends on a whole pixel.
- The stage is nudged by 1/32 px where the scale is not whole. At
  150 % every odd pixel is an exact half, and without the nudge one
  band came out a row shorter than its neighbours.
- Curves, icons and everything of the game stay unrounded. Rounding
  their points would bend them.
- The harness takes deviceScaleFactor as an option, and the hooks
  deviceColumn, edgeContrast and pixelGrid read the frame as the
  screen gets it.

Not in here: the subpixel smoothing a browser gives its own text.
Pixi draws a text into a transparent picture first, and there only
greyscale smoothing is possible.

Measured at 150 %, edge contrast before and after: top bar 31.5 to
47.8, the lists on the left 68.6 to 86.4, inspector 27.6 to 38.4.
At 100 % it is 46.5, 90.1 and 37.9, and the picture there is the
same as before pixel for pixel, apart from the fps display.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 206 files, 3114 tests (3104 + 10), exit 0
- Full run on melektaus-atx: 1655 of 1656 checks passed, smokes
  24/19/21. The one that failed was a condition of the new step
  62 itself: it scrolled an inspector that had nothing to scroll.
  The step now makes the window lower for that reading.
- e2e 61,62 after that fix: 14 checks. The full run was not
  repeated, and CI is switched off for now.
- Ten unit tests, nine in tests/ui/pixel-grid.test.ts
- Eight e2e checks in the new step 62, which runs at 150 %
- Eleven unit counter-probes fail tests
- Four browser counter-probes fail their checks. They ran before
  the fix to step 62 and were not repeated for it.
- Screenshots looked at for 125 % and 150 %

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 c5ba21533d Pick a link on its line and delete it from there (#289)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m37s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 13m10s
A link could only be removed through the menu of its port, and the
line itself took no input. A transition of a state machine could only
be deleted in the list of the inspector. Now the line is the handle,
in a behavior's graph and between states alike.

- A click on a line selects that link and draws a halo behind it. A
  press counts within 6 screen pixels of the line, and where two cross
  the one drawn last wins.
- Ctrl-click or Shift-click adds a link or takes it away. The rubber
  band takes every line it crosses, into the same selection as the
  nodes and boxes it caught.
- Delete or Backspace removes what is picked as one undo step. A
  right-click on a line offers Hide link and Delete link.
- The inspector shows a picked link: the node and port at each end and
  the type it carries, with Hide link and Delete link below. For
  several it says how many.
- The arrow of a transition is picked the same way, on its name too.
  Delete or a right-click with Delete transition removes it.
- The menu of a port is unchanged, Disconnect included, as answered in
  the issue.
- editor/graph/edgeHit.ts holds the hit test as pure functions, and
  editor/inspector/edgeSection.ts builds the section. The selection
  has a new kind edge, and node and annotation carry edgeIds.

Decided here:

- A hidden link has no line and is never picked this way, also while
  it is shown on loan. Its mark at the port stays its handle.
- The menu of a line speaks about the whole selection, like the menu
  of a box. With nodes or boxes held alongside it reads Delete N
  items.
- Hiding picked links lets go of them, since no line is left.
- A link wins over the box it crosses, and a mark wins over a link.
- A transition has no Hide entry.
- With nodes or boxes in the selection the inspector keeps showing
  the node or box, not the link.

Tests:
- Gate: 201 files, 2982 tests (2967 + 15), exit 0
- e2e, full run: 1635 checks passed (1629 + 6), exit 0
- Smokes: 24 / 19 / 21, exit 0
- The full run was done for exactly this state.
- 15 unit tests in tests/editor/edge-selection.test.ts
- Six e2e checks with a real mouse, block 6z-xi in module 06 and 26e7
  in module 26
- 12 unit counter-probes all fail tests, run on stein2
- Three browser counter-probes fail, the build went through each
  time: no hit on the line, no halo, a band that skips lines
- Screenshots of a picked link and a picked transition looked at
  before the last build, none after it

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 4e6aeb5f72 Query objects in bulk and filter, count or test a list (#259)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m36s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 10m6s
The object queries only ever returned one object: Object by name,
Child by name and Find all stop at the first hit. Getting every coin,
every child or every item that passes a test needed a For each with
its own bookkeeping. These nodes return the whole set as a list of
Object, so For each and Find can use item straight away.

- Objects by name returns every scene object with that name in scene
  order.
- Children by name returns every match below object, nearer levels
  first, the same order as the singular node.
- Children returns the direct children, with recursive all of them
  level by level.
- Objects of asset returns every instance of an object asset or
  container by the same rule as Is asset, spawned ones included.
- All four take a snapshot. Destroyed objects are never in it,
  disabled ones are, as with the singular nodes.
- Find has a Mode setting: First, All, Any and Count. First is the
  default and hides the row, so existing graphs look the same.
- Match follows the mode of its paired Find: done with items and
  indices, done with any, or done with count. An unpaired Match shows
  First, since the pairing only comes from the wiring.
- First and Any stop at the first hit, All and Count walk the list.
- Changing the mode drops edges at outputs the Match no longer has,
  in one undo step. SetNodeParamCommand now cleans the whole graph,
  but only edges that were valid before the change.
- The palette entry "filter" adds a Find set to All with its Match.

Found on the way:

- After adding the filter entry, "find" + Enter picked Filter. The
  entry has node type Find, counted as an exact hit, and the tie went
  to the alphabet. The search now ranks by the entry id. e2e 6z-v
  caught it.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 188 files, 2746 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- find-modes.test.ts with 11 tests, 11 catalog cases for the four
  nodes, the asset input guard now expects 3.
- e2e 6z-vii with 3 checks: filter from the palette, Count picked in
  the inspector drops the items edge, a run logs 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, "0, 2".
- GM_STEPS=1-6: all passed, 278 checks.
- Counter-checks fail as expected: every mode stopping early (2),
  Match ignoring the mode (6), cleanup on the own node only (1), no
  recursion (2), no inOrder (2), old ranking (1). In the browser a
  Match ignoring the mode fails both editor checks.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 38e0f656be Split a struct output into one pin per field (#256)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m32s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m45s
Reading one field of a struct needed its own Expand node, even where
the graph already knows the struct type. A split output shows the
fields directly on the node, so a Find … Match test becomes a single
Equals and the wires keep running left to right.

- Right-clicking an output pin offers "Split into <Type> fields" when
  the type is known and "Split as …" for every other struct asset.
  The output is replaced by one pin per field with the field's kind.
- The type is known for typed struct variables, typed Pack/Expand,
  fields of another split and item of For each, Find, Match and Item
  at over a typed list (portSplits.ts).
- Right-clicking a field pin offers "Recombine". Splitting drops the
  edges of the whole output, recombining drops the field edges. One
  undo step brings them back.
- The split is stored as GraphNode.splits and saved with the graph.
  Copy and paste carry it along.
- Field pins follow the struct asset like a typed Expand. A new field
  gets a pin, a removed field loses pin and edge, a renamed field keeps
  its edge. Deleting the asset keeps the last fields. The delete dialog
  counts splits, so it now says "node(s)" instead of "Pack/Expand
  node(s)".
- Renaming a variable carries its split and the field edges along.
- At run time the node still produces the whole value. A field pin
  reads its field like Expand, a missing field reads as empty.
- Limits: outputs only, one level, behavior graphs only.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 185 files, 2706 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e GM_STEPS=1-6,54,55: ALL PASSED, 303 checks
- New port-splits.test.ts with 12 tests. e2e 6z-vi with 3 checks
  using a real mouse: split Find.item, wire item.Name into the test
  and Match.item.Amount into the log (logs 7), recombine.
- Counter-checks: without field reads in the interpreter, without
  rename in the split, without moving edges on rename and without
  cleanup on field removal one unit test fails each. In the browser,
  without field reads nothing is logged and without type inference
  the split entry is missing.
- Check total in README: 1520.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 2aaca01929 Find the first matching item with a Find … Match block (#255)
Searching a list with For each needs the test result wired back into
break on the left of the loop node. The wires then run across the node
and the graph reads badly. Find … Match keeps the whole search flowing
left to right, while the test in between stays a free graph.

- Find takes exec and list and offers item and index. It sets them to
  each element in turn and has no exec output of its own.
- Match reads its bool input match once per element. The first true
  value continues at found with item and index of the hit. No hit or an
  empty list continues at not found with an empty item and index -1.
- The pair is derived from the wiring and stored nowhere. A Match
  belongs to the Find whose item or index its test is built from. Copy,
  paste and undo therefore need no extra code (findBlock.ts).
- An unpaired Find or Match, two Matches on one Find and a Match fed
  by two Finds show a warning on the node. At run time the flow ends at
  an unpaired Find and the console says so.
- Adding Find from the palette places its Match 480 px to the right in
  the same undo step.
- The graph draws a quiet frame behind Find, Match and the nodes of the
  test. Literals feeding the test from outside stay outside the frame.
- The test consists of data nodes only, like the break of For each.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 184 files, 2694 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e GM_STEPS=1-6: ALL PASSED, 272 checks
- New find-match.test.ts with 12 tests, 2 catalog cases, e2e 6z-v
  with 3 checks using a real mouse.
- Counter-checks: ignoring the test fails 4 unit tests, no ambiguity
  check fails 2, framing everything fails 1. In the browser, no frame
  and no Match from the palette each fail their check.
- Check total in README: 1517.

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

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

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

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

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 1d18862ed6 Give unconnected node inputs the default the node shows (#234)
A new node handed null to every unconnected input that had no port
default, even a Bool. The inspector showed false, 0, "" or an empty
list at the same time, so what the node read was not what the editor
said. 97 of 135 inputs of the built-in nodes were affected.

- inlineValue() falls back to the default the inspector shows. One
  place covers every node, also future ones and saved projects.
- A default list is handed out as a fresh copy per read, so a node
  that edits its input in place cannot change the shared default.
- The node shows the value it reads: an empty text or list as
  (empty), an object or struct input without a link as (null).
  Live values while playing use the same words.
- A key input without a key keeps showing a dash, like the key field
  in the inspector.
- Visible changes in old projects: To text without input gives ""
  instead of "0", Select and First not empty give "" instead of null.

Tests:
- 8 new unit tests in tests/core/inline-defaults.test.ts, among them
  one over all built-in nodes that no typed-in input reads null.
- The e2e check in module 6 reads the rows of an unlinked Name of
  node. The check sum stays the same.
- ./check.sh: 167 files, 2434 tests, exit 0. e2e 6: 117 checks.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 021a6dcb56 Zoom the tile tab in the same steps as the scene view
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m58s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m34s
The tile tab zoomed freely, so the pixels of a tile could end up
unevenly wide at odd factors. Scene view, container tab and animation
preview already snap to FREE_ZOOM_STEPS. The tile tab now does the
same, so every pixel editor zooms alike.

- The wheel steps through FREE_ZOOM_STEPS, counted in device pixels.
  The board position is rounded to whole device pixels.
- New wheelSteps() in src/viewport/view.ts turns wheel events into
  steps: one notch is one step, a trackpad gathers 50 px per step.
  FreeViewport uses it too, so the rule exists only once.
- Fit takes the largest step at which the whole board fits. Refitting
  on a new tab or board size stays as before.
- panAndZoom takes an optional zoom rule instead of limits. Graph and
  node board keep zooming freely.
- A saved view from before the steps snaps to the nearest step.
- The cap parameter of frameBoxes from 4027afc has no user anymore.
  It is removed together with its unit test.

Fit rounds down, and below 100 percent the steps are far apart. In the
small e2e window the 48 px board lands at 25 instead of 41 percent,
the 16 px board at 100 instead of 124 percent.

Tests:
- check.sh: 161 files, 2370 tests, exit 0 (-1 cap test,
  +1 wheelSteps test)
- e2e 1-5 and 39: all passed, 169 checks. Three checks in 39 now
  expect steps: Fit on a step with the next one too large, one notch
  goes 0.25 to 0.5, 16 px tiles refit to at least 100 percent.
- Counter check: a free Fit factor fails exactly those three checks
  (zoom 0.413 and 1.2396).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d444b27fae Let behaviors read and set tilemap cells while the game runs (#135)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m59s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m22s
A behavior could move sprites around but had no way to look at or
change the tilemap it was standing on. Doors, breakable blocks and
"is there ground ahead?" checks all need that.

- New nodes Tile at, Set tile, World to cell and Cell to world. The
  conversion honours position, rotation, scale and mirroring of the
  placed map. A small Tile literal node lets a graph compare what it
  read against a fixed tile.
- The layer is picked by name from all tilemap layers in the project
  through a new field kind. "First layer" takes the map's first one.
  Because layer is an input, a text can also be wired in.
- Each placement keeps only its edited cells in liveTilemap.ts,
  layered over the asset's cells. A second placement of the same map
  stays untouched, and the asset itself is never written.
- A read sees a Set tile from earlier in the same flow. Drawing picks
  up the edit at once and neighbouring autotile edges adapt.
- Solids see the edits straight away, so a Move in the same frame
  already hits the new cell. Rapier rebuilds its shapes on the next
  step.
- After Stop the map is back to what was painted. The editor run shows
  the edit in the scene view while it lasts and does not touch the
  project.
- An unwired tilemap input means no map, like Get position. Cells
  outside the grid are refused and done reports false.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 155 files, 2271 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2245).
- tests/core/tile-access.test.ts (14), one physics test for a floor
  set at runtime, catalog entries for the five nodes.
- e2e 39,40: all passed, 86 checks (before 81), five new in 40s.
- Counter-checks: collision ignoring edits fails 3 unit tests, the
  solids cache missing same-tick edits fails only the "at once" test,
  drawing ignoring edits fails the 2 drawing checks, the editor run
  not reporting a new tile fails only its check.
- 40s uses a still tile. The animated fixture tile redraws every frame
  and hid the last counter-check at first.
- Check total 1351 + 5 = 1356, computed. CI confirmed 1351 at cb32b4b.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 30fb3a2316 Dragging previews once per frame instead of on every move (#213)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m52s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m43s
Scene view, texture tab and graph called state.preview() on every
pointer move. Each call rebuilds panels, the editor run and generated
images, so a drag in a busy project cost up to 34 ms per move. The
model is still written on every move. Only the preview now waits for
the next frame.

- New FramePreview in src/editor/framePreview.ts. request() goes into
  the move handler, cancel() into the release. The rule lives in one
  place instead of six copies.
- Scene view: object drag, polygon corners and tilemap strokes use it.
- Texture tab: frames, slice edges and collision corners use it.
- Graph: nodes, groups and comments use it through GraphDrags. That
  covers the state machine, shader and particle tabs as well.
- Vector art is unchanged. Its frame already writes the model since
  #129.

Findings:
- The texture tab paid twice per move (232 project events for 120
  moves). Pixi sends a second pointer event 4 to 8 ms after each real
  move as a hover update. It now lands in the same frame for free.
- Inspector scrubbing and gradient stop dragging still preview on
  every input. Both lie outside the three canvases of the issue.

Measured with a throwaway probe, 120 moves at 8 ms, 120 extra objects:
scene 26.2 -> 18.5 ms/move, texture 34.2 -> 17.9, graph 28.8 -> 17.0.
Project events dropped from 120/232/119 to 48/48/41.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 147 files, 2204 tests, exit 0 (before 146 / 2199).
- 5 new unit tests in tests/editor/frame-preview.test.ts, including
  the real GraphDrags. Counter-checks (direct preview in the graph,
  no cancel on release, one key per name) each fail the expected test.
- e2e 1-16,29,31,36,37,39-43: 708 checks passed.
- e2e 1-16,26,28: 634 checks passed.
- No new e2e check, the check sum stays at 1314.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b830f9c747 Split wiring, drags and the frame layer out of GraphCanvas (#215)
GraphCanvas had grown to 1406 lines. Wiring, dragging and the frame
views each carry their own state, so they now live in their own
classes behind a narrow host interface. Behaviour is unchanged.

- GraphCanvasHost is what the new classes see of the canvas.
- Wiring owns dragging a pin, the palette on a drop into empty space
  and "Make transition".
- GraphDrags owns moving nodes and frames, including snapping.
- AnnotationLayer holds the frame views. The test hooks stay on the
  canvas and read the views through the layer.
- BeadClock moves into beads.ts and can now be tested without a
  browser.
- The canvas builds host, wiring and drags in its constructor because
  state is a parameter property and not set during field init.
- GraphCanvas is down to 1019 lines.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 145 files, 2192 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+2 for BeadClock)
- e2e 1-28,31,36: ALL PASSED, 932 checks
- New e2e check in 36k: a frame caught by the rubber band is also
  drawn as selected. No check covered that before. Against a bent
  build it fails with selected: false.
- Counter-checks for drop target, snapping and beads fail exactly
  the expected checks.
- Editor check sum is now 1314 (CI measured 1313 at 487b3aa).

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

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

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

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

adminandClaude Opus 5 d7a2521ca7 A port can take its type from what is plugged into it (#207)
game-maker / gate (push) Canceled after 1m8s
game-maker / suite (push) Canceled after 1m8s
Until now every port of "First not empty" was grey and typeless, so the
editor could not tell you what actually travels through the node. The
output is now typed as soon as both inputs agree, and every any-input is
painted in the colour of its own edge. Nothing changes at runtime.

- A NodeDef can declare which of its ports carry the same value
  (`sharedType: { inputs, outputs }`). The rule itself lives as a pure
  function `agreedType` in `src/core/graph/portTypes.ts`.
- Only the output inherits. It becomes the shared type when every input
  of the group is connected and they all carry the same type, otherwise
  it stays `any`.
- The inputs stay `any` on purpose. `canConnect` checks against the port
  type and a busy input is replaced by the new edge, so a typed `a`
  could never be re-plugged with a text without disconnecting first.
- Chains do not propagate. When looking up what feeds an input, a node
  of the same kind reports the `any` it is registered with, so two of
  them in a row stay untyped and a data cycle cannot ask itself in a
  circle.
- An edge that the new type makes invalid stays where it is and turns
  red. `EdgeLayer` already paints a mismatching edge with `danger`,
  nothing is disconnected on its own.
- New `PortDef.paintType`: colour only, never truth. It is set in
  `drawnDef` and read in `NodeView.redraw`, so `canConnect`, the
  interpreter and the compiler keep seeing `any`. Every connected
  any-input is painted, not just members of a `sharedType` group; ghost
  ports keep their hollow red look.
- The pin now matches the edge that ends in it, because both take the
  colour from the resolved output type of the neighbour. Mixed sources
  therefore show two colours, which explains why the output stays grey.
- New hooks `__gm.graph.portTypes(id)`, `__gm.graph.edgeColor(id)` and
  `__gm.themeColor(name)`. `portTypes` reports type and paint colour
  separately so the type checks do not silently become colour checks.

Findings:

- `resolveDef` only appends derived ports to the registered ones, so a
  fixed port cannot be retyped that way -- it would appear twice. The
  shared type is therefore resolved before the ports are built.
- Answer 5 of the issue (inline field follows the type) has no case left
  under variant A: an unconnected input stays `any` and keeps its text
  field.
- `Item at`, `Join` and `Equals` do not profit: `Item at` has no
  any-input, the other two have fixed outputs. The next candidates are
  the shader arithmetic nodes, which were left alone.

Tests:

- ./check.sh -> 143 files, 2127 tests, exit 0 (was 142 / 2113)
- GM_STEPS=1-6 fresh -> ALL PASSED, 245 checks (was 242), 9 of them new
- 14 new unit tests in tests/core/shared-port-type.test.ts
- 9 new e2e checks in block 6z, one of them a pixel check straight on
  the pin via pixelAt + themeColor
- Counter-probes all bite: filtering unconnected inputs out of
  `agreedType` fails 3 unit tests, ignoring `inherit` fails 1, killing
  the derivation in the bundle fails exactly the 2 expected e2e checks,
  and never setting `paintType` fails 4 unit tests plus the 3 pin
  checks (#bdbdbd instead of #e6a8ff / #6fcf97)
- Screenshot read: `a` pink, `b` green, output `value` grey, edges in
  the same colours
- Check total 1302 (1299 + 3), 1293 was measured by CI at 1a3babf

adminandClaude Opus 5 90627ccf47 Snap is a magnet button in every graph and vector art tab (#194)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 7m33s
The snap toggle was a checkbox with the word "Snap" next to Fit, and
the vector art tab had its own "Grid" button for the same idea. Both
now share one square icon button, so snapping looks and works the
same wherever it exists.

- SnapToggle is a square toggle button with a magnet icon and no
  text. It lights up blue when snapping is on, like the other toggle
  buttons.
- The magnet is drawn with cubic curves instead of arcs, because the
  Pixi SVG parser draws arcs as jagged edges.
- The vector art tab drops its Grid button and uses the same
  SnapToggle. It still snaps to 8 px, the graph tabs to 24 px.
- SnapToggle accepts anything with setSnapping(on). The vector art
  canvas method is renamed from setSnap to setSnapping for that.
- Every tab exposes the button as __gm.<tab>.snapButton(). Modules
  06, 26 and 36 click through that hook instead of the label "Snap"
  plus 30 px.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 129 files, 1903 tests (was 128 / 1897)
- 3 new tests in tests/editor/snap-toggle.test.ts, 3 in the icon tests
- GM_STEPS=1-6,26,36,47 fresh: ALL PASSED, 346 checks
- GM_STEPS=47: ALL PASSED, 32 checks (was 29)
- Counter-checks: toggle not switching its target fails 2 unit
  tests, the canvas ignoring the switch fails module 47
- Check total 1188 in README and wiki is computed (1184 + 4), the
  full run is left to CI

adminandClaude Opus 5 0fdde6cb1e The Raycast node filters by collision layers: the node gained a "Layers" setting, a tickbox per collision layer of the project - the same field kind the collider uses for "Collides with" - and the ray only hits what sits on a ticked layer, tilemaps counting as colliders; the default is every layer, and a graph without the param answers exactly as before, which is its own unit test; the check is one-sided on purpose, unlike the symmetric rule of #152: a ray is not a collider, so it never reads the collidesWith of the thing it hits - a collider that meets nothing is still seen by a ray - because who a ray may look at is the ray's business, and a unit test holds that case; the filter sits in Solids.raycast in front of the intersection test, which is the one path the editor run and Play both take, so every unit test runs through describe.each against both systems; NodeView did not know the field kinds layer/layers, so the node would have read "Layers: 65533" - it now shows the name of the layer, or "All layers"; 5 new e2e checks in the new block 43d (a shield on its own layer between the caster and the floor stops the ray, the "Layers" row on the node, the tickbox menu with the project's layers, the ray reaching 280 instead of 145 units once the shield's layer is unticked, and the mask read as a name) and 6 new unit tests, three against each system; two counter-checks hold: disarming the filter line drops 6 unit tests and the unticking check in module 43, and switching the formatting off makes the node check fail with the raw bits; two findings from measuring came out of it and stand in the wiki and the notes - __gm.rays() only measures while the Scene tab is in front, so a node selection blinds it and the block measures through a Log node on distance instead, and a running behavior instance keeps the graph it started with, so the editor run casts with the old mask until the instance is built anew (#158)

adminandClaude Opus 5 36ccc7626f A box drawn around a part of the graph is part of it, so a fit frames it and a band catches it (#95)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 6m22s
Fit measured the nodes alone: a group drawn around them was cut off, and a graph holding nothing
but a comment framed the empty origin. It now frames both sorts together.

The rubber band ignored boxes entirely. It catches them now, into the *same* selection as the
nodes — `nodeIds` and `annotationIds` side by side — so one drag moves all of it, one Delete
removes all of it, and one undo takes it back. A box counts only when the band holds all of it,
where a node counts on touching: a group wraps the nodes it holds and therefore overlaps every
band drawn over any of them, and since it drags those nodes along, catching it by accident would
be felt at once.

A node inside a selected group is moved once, not twice — `travellers()` collects everything one
gesture carries and lets each thing appear in it a single time.

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

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

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

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

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

adminandClaude Opus 5 3b039384c4 A search that ignores what a thing is called is no search, so the name wins (#43)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 10m23s
Typing "variable" into the node palette landed on `Run behavior`, because the
filter weighed label, type and description alike and then sorted by category.
`searchRank` in `src/ui/search.ts` now ranks a match: exact label or type, then
prefix, then label, then type, and only last a hit that lives in the
description alone. Category and alphabet order within a rank. The searchable
`Menu` uses the same function, so searching means the same thing everywhere.

The `+` menu grew to fifteen entries in declaration order. It is built in two
alphabetical groups now -- the types that go into a scene, then the ones that
stay in the library -- with a separator between them, the split `isPlaceableType`
already draws. `ASSET_TYPES` itself stays untouched: it is also the
serialisation and check order. A search flattens the groups and drops the lines.

Popups were capped at fixed heights (320 menu, 260 palette, 340 pickers) while
the canvas had room to spare. `Popup.roomFor()` measures its own chrome and
takes the window height minus a tenth at each end. Placement clamps
asymmetrically: the bottom margin is enforced, the top is only a budget, so a
menu anchored near the top stays at its button instead of being pushed off it.

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

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

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

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

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

adminandClaude Opus 5 98fa9907fd A drop asks the area the pointer already uses, so a port at the very edge is still the node
`nodeUnder()` recomputed the node's face as `0 <= x <= w`, while the pointer events follow the
`hitArea`, which reaches `PORT_HIT_RADIUS` past the edge. An input port sits at exactly x = 0, so the
global point rounded back landed a hair outside: the drop counted as one on empty canvas, the node
palette opened and swallowed every later click – four checks of step 6 at once. `NodeView` now
answers from that same `hitArea`, and the step also checks that no palette is open.

rootandClaude Opus 5 68c92daaa6 A transition carries a name, so a state needs no visible port (#52)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m22s
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.

root a041322a0e An edge to a vanished port needs a handle, so the port stays as a ghost (#60)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m7s
Four ways erase a derived port and take no edge with them: deleting a state,
deleting the `State machine` literal, deleting `Behavior start`/`end`, deleting
the asset. The common cause is `RemoveNodeCommand` clearing only its own graph,
so the fix sits in `drawnDef` (graph/nested.ts) and touches no delete site.

A right-click on an edge goes through `view.portAt` only — there is no curve
hit-test. Without a port row such an edge is not merely invisible, it is
unreachable, so the ghost row is the handle Disconnect hangs on.

`resolveDef` stays untouched: it is the truth for interpreter, compiler,
ConnectCommand and dropTarget, so nothing runs or connects through a ghost
without a second guard.

rootandClaude Opus 5 fbb2d157f0 A held preview is rebased, not paused, and it wears the asset's own rows (#86)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m42s
Three reports plus one found on the way.

Hold only froze the *picture*: the preview computed a fake second while drawing,
the library clock kept counting underneath, so letting go jumped to "how much
would have passed by now". That is the flip side of the formula model — a thing
that is a function of the clock is not stopped, its origin is moved.
ParticleField.rebase() does that; hold(null) calls it with the second stood at.
The Hold label now mirrors the preview's state instead of its own click history,
so dragging the slider (which holds too) reads `Run`, and Restart puts a held
preview back to 0.00 s rather than leaving it on the second it stopped at.

previewProps only read defaultsFor('particles'), so the panel showed the type's
defaults while the inspector showed the asset's rows. AssetBase.props is a full
bag on a graph asset as well — asset.props now lie over the defaults, the
asset's texture is resolved instead of always drawing a white square, and the
slider's span follows its lifetime. The span is re-read in tick(), because the
rows are edited in the inspector and the tab hears nothing about it.

The preview moves from under the graph to beside it, past a draggable splitter:
a graph is read across, so width is what it can spare and height is not.
AssetTabEditor grows a body() hook for that — the base class still stacks header,
strip and canvas, a subclass may put something next to the canvas.

Found by the full run, not reported: the graph canvas's empty-state hint ran
38 px past its frame now that the preview takes 280 px away. It is cut with
truncate() like any other label.

816 checks (809 + 7).

root 0f9e1611d1 A particle is a function of its age, not a thing that is stepped (#73)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 4m22s
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.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 42cafa7543 Shader assets: graph-built shaders, the Shader tab and sprite rows from the graph (#62)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 3m59s
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.

rootandClaude Opus 5 c47fd5e4dc Console panel: capture console.*, timestamped lines, resizable (#50)
A log layer (src/editor/console/log.ts) keeps a 500-line ring buffer and
wraps console.log/info/debug/warn/error, still calling the original. Notices
and behaviour runtime errors go straight to the layer instead of through
console, so editor tests stay quiet and errors can render red. world.log is
untouched: it is per-run structured state that runtime tests and e2e read
directly, not a text stream.

The panel sits under the visible tab, resizable with Splitter('y'), with a
CONSOLE header and a clear button. Each line carries its wall-clock time in
its own dimmed column, so locate() still finds the message text.

The taller centre area drops the graph fit zoom to 0.60, which broke six e2e
checks that assumed one screen pixel is one graph unit and that a fixed
offset from the canvas centre is empty. They now ask __gm.emptySpot(),
__gm.graph.emptySpot() and __gm.graph.zoom() instead of guessing.

locate/locateAll added the unscaled Pixi text width to the global position,
so click points in the scaled graph canvas landed too far right; they use
getBounds() now.

check.sh: 831 tests. Full e2e: ALL PASSED - 671 checks. Smokes 24/19/20.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 e7d82bd1a9 State machines: asset, tab, State branch and Set state nodes (#51)
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.

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 Opus 5 656d61f187 Edit the graph during play and watch values and flow run through it
The graph was only locked by five edit-mode guards in GraphCanvas. The
running game reads the graph by reference each frame, so a new node, edge,
changed value, disconnect or undo takes effect from the next frame. Stop
discards these edits like everything else changed in play. A new On start
node does not fire for a behavior that has already started.

During play every data output shows the value it last produced, in the
highlight colour and refreshed ten times a second. Values are kept per
graph, because node ids are only unique within one; with several
instances the most recent value wins. The Variables node reads the live
variable bag, so only its own outputs are kept, as a snapshot.

Each time an exec edge fires, a bead runs along it in 0.3 s, at most one
every 0.15 s per edge, following the same curve the edge is drawn with.
Beads run on game time and freeze while paused; the game logic is
unchanged.

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 854ae2e756 Add Get/Set properties nodes and a breadcrumb for opened sub-behaviors
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.

rootandClaude Opus 5 e9fa592078 Add the Variable node and show the variable name in node titles
Get/Set variable nodes now title themselves "Get <name>" / "Set <name>", and
the new Variable node just "<name>"; the title is the same folded or open,
and a collapsed node shrinks to it. The redundant "Variable: <name>" row is
gone unless the variable was deleted ("<name>?" is the only hint then).

The Variable node sets its value when an exec flow arrives and exposes the
value at any time. Its output is read when a downstream node pulls it, not
frozen at the write, so count = count + 1 is one Variable node plus an Add.
Get variable keeps reading once per pulse: switching it would change the
behaviour of existing games.

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 1e2285c545 Let a graph node collapse to its title bar
A chevron in front of the title toggles it without touching the selection,
and right-click offers Collapse node / Expand node for the whole selection
as one undo step. A collapsed node draws its title bar alone; every link of
one side meets at a single point on it, and hidden links there share one
mark per side, since per-port marks would stack on the same pixels. It has
no ports to grab, so a link dropped on it connects nothing.

Like hiding a link this is drawing only: collapsed is saved on the node and
an expanded node leaves no trace in the project file.

root 3c76106fd2 Let a Sequence grow an output as you connect the last one
The Outputs setting is gone. A Sequence now keeps one free output below the
last connected one: nothing plugged in is one output, connecting the spare
grows a new one, unplugging the bottom edge shrinks it back.

It counts the last *connected* port rather than the number of edges, so
unplugging a middle one leaves a gap instead of silently dropping an edge.

Removing the setting also removes a bug it caused. Typing in the Outputs field
did nothing and the arrow keys did nothing, while dragging the value worked:
onInput fires per keystroke, the preview writes into node.params, that emits
'project', and Inspector.refreshValues() sees the node's signature change --
the port list is part of it -- so it rebuilds and destroys the row being typed
in. A drag survives because it keeps receiving globalpointermove on the old
widget. refreshValues() has no focus guard where refreshLive() does; the trap
is still there for the next typed field that changes a node's shape.

Ports that depend on the edges around a node mean derivePorts needs the graph,
not just the params, so resolveDef and portSignature take it too. And a node
whose ports are derived cannot know how many it has from its type, so run is
handed the definition resolved for it.
