game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m48s
Speed and Prewarm are not state and not a second loop: both are arithmetic
on the clock argument the field already passes to every particle formula.
fieldTime = elapsed * timeScale + prewarmOffset, a pure rule next to
liveRange, called at the one place ParticleField.sync forms its time, so
preview and world inherit it together.

Prewarm offsets by one lifetime because that is the smallest offset which
fills a continuous emitter; a burst is dead at time >= lifetime, so the
same offset would skip it entirely and it is suppressed there.

The tab's slider counts wall-clock seconds, so its span divides by the
scale. A missing row falls back to 1 / off, so old project files need no
migration.

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.
