The game did get Tab, but the editor moved the keyboard focus to a
button at the same time. The next Space then pressed that button
instead of reaching the game. The key field of On key down could not
capture Tab at all, so an inventory on Tab could not be built.
- FocusManager asks tabBelongsElsewhere before it moves the focus.
The editor answers yes while the Game tab is in front, so Tab stays
with the game as long as no field has the focus.
- A widget can claim Tab through takesTab. The key capture button
does so while it is capturing, so On key down accepts Tab.
- The harness knows the key Tab.
Found on the way:
- The first version of check 20g left the Behavior tab in front, and
module 21 then failed in the chained run. 20g now goes back.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 2746 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 20 has two new checks: Tab reaches the game and leaves the
keyboard with it, the key field captures Tab. Both failed against
the old bundle.
- GM_STEPS=19,20: all passed, 44 checks. The full local run with all
three topics of this push passed with 1543 checks.

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

Steps 18 and 20 both hand-rolled the same object-plus-behavior scaffold, down
to lane offsets that nothing kept distinct. Step 19 claimed in a comment that it
cleaned up after itself but never checked it – the only one of the four that
did not.

A held key fired once and then nothing, so sliding a Tetris piece sideways or
walking a menu meant building a timer next to every key node. Two settings on
the node do it now: Repeat after and Repeat interval, both in milliseconds so
the usual values stay whole numbers (300, 50) instead of 0.3 and 0.05. A delay
of 0 keeps the node exactly as it was, an interval of 0 means every frame.
The browser's own auto-repeat is deliberately not used - Input.press has always
dropped it - because its delay and rate are an operating-system setting of the
player's, not a game's. The repeat is built from the measured hold time instead,
per node, so two nodes on one key keep their own clocks. The rule itself is a
pure function in keyRepeat.ts and is checked without a world.
Both rows stay off the node body while the delay is 0: two lines of "0" on every
key node in every graph would be noise, and the screenshot said so. NodeDef gains
hiddenParams for that; the inspector still shows them.
