adminandClaude Opus 5.5 9e869df063 Free a redrawn picture only once no shader names it (#293)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m48s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 13m44s
Editing a vector drawing made Pixi warn "destroyed while still bound
to a shader", twice with every change, once it had begun. It began
where an object wears the drawing through a shader asset. Each
change draws the picture anew and destroyed the one before it, but
the mesh of that object keeps its picture bound until it syncs. The
issue also asks for the button "Add shape" to go: a shape without
points cannot be given any, the Pen draws a new one.

- GeneratedPictures takes two more callbacks. inUse says that a
  picture cannot be freed yet, soon runs a retry once whoever asked
  is done.
- A replaced picture that is still in use waits in a list of its
  own. It is freed right after the redraw that asked, as a rule. On
  a later ask where its wearer was not part of that redraw.
- TextureLibrary tells a bound picture by the listeners for change
  on its source. Under WebGL the bind groups are the only ones that
  listen there. The retry is a microtask.
- The rule is asked for every drawn picture alike, whoever wears it.
- The inspector of a drawing and of a shape has no "Add shape" any
  more. "Delete shapes" for several selected shapes stays.

Decided here:

- Under the list of shapes a second note says "The Pen draws a new
  shape." while only the asset is selected.

Found on the way:

- Reproduced on a throwaway copy of the project the report came
  from: 6 warnings for 3 changes with the shader override on the
  object, none without it. After the change none, and no replaced
  picture is left waiting.
- The fixture project of the tests never showed the warning. No
  object there wore a drawing through a shader.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 211 files, 3219 tests (3209 + 10), exit 0
- e2e 47,48 on melektaus-atx: 113 checks, all pass
- e2e 28,30,31,39,40,47,48: 350 checks, all pass, run before the
  wording of the new note changed
- The first gate was red: an existing test read the wording of the
  note that had changed. Only three test files had been run after
  the change.
- No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1668 (1667 + 1) is reckoned,
  1667 is what CI counted for ec2fd90.
- Ten unit tests, five of them against the real bind group of Pixi
  in tests/viewport/bound-pictures.test.ts
- One e2e check in block 47b-ii of module 47: a drawing worn through
  a shader, three changes, no warning. The check on "Add shape" now
  reads that there is no such button.
- Nine unit counter-probes and two browser counter-probes all fail
  their tests. Without the change the new check counts 6 warnings.
- Not checked: a tilemap or a particle emitter holding a picture
  bound the same way. Nothing was looked at after the build, the
  new note included.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 ec2fd9084f Say what a button without words does when the pointer rests (#209)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m50s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 15m34s
The top bar, the magnet, the eye and many marks of the inspector are
pictures without a caption. Whoever did not know one could only try
it. The toolkit had no hint on hover, which also forced the point
menu of #195 to be words. The answers in the issue settle the open
points: a cut tab name shows in full, shortcuts are part of the
text, the point menu stays as it is.

- Button takes a tooltip, a text or a function asked each time. It
  shows on a small sign once the pointer has rested for half a
  second.
- There is one sign for the page, a TooltipLayer on the overlay
  above the menus. A control reports each pointer move and the
  pointer leaving, the layer does the waiting.
- A press, a key, the wheel or a blur of the window takes the sign
  away. initUI listens for them on the window.
- placeTooltip in ui/tooltip.ts is the rule for the place as a pure
  function: under the control and flush left, flush right at the
  right border, above the control at the bottom.
- toolbarTip says what the five buttons of the top bar do right now.
  Undo and redo name their step from CommandStack.undoLabel and
  redoLabel, as in "Undo Paint tiles (Ctrl+Z)".
- A SortableList reports its own marks with a key per mark: the eye,
  the duplicate mark, the cross and the plus.
- The magnet, both fullscreen buttons, the eye of the scene tab, the
  overflow of the tab strip, the plus of the assets panel, the marks
  of the inspector rows and the nine anchors of the resize dialog
  carry a text.

Decided here:

- Every button whose text is cut short shows the whole text, not
  only a tab.
- A row action of the inspector names the one thing a click does. A
  button that opens a menu says only Reset, Apply or Size from the
  picture.
- A button just clicked stays quiet until the pointer has left it.
- A greyed out button shows no sign.
- The switches of the eye popup, the cross of a document tab and the
  tools of pixel art have none. The tools carry words, other than
  the issue assumes.
- The marks of a list say Show or Hide, Duplicate, Remove and Add,
  whatever the list holds.

Found on the way:

- Signing out empties the overlay and would have destroyed a sign on
  screen with it. The editor takes the tooltip away first. This has
  no test of its own.
- The text hooks locate and has skip the sign, or it would answer
  for the button under it.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 210 files, 3209 tests (3176 + 33), exit 0
- e2e 46 on melektaus-atx: 20 checks, all pass
- e2e 1-14 on melektaus-atx: 508 checks, all pass
- e2e 1-9,14,39,40,44-48: 685 pass, 2 fail, both in module 14. It
  measures tabs that modules 10 to 13 open, and the chain 1-14 is
  green. The cut chain was not run on the state before.
- No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1667 (1664 + 3) is reckoned,
  1664 is what CI counted for 3452899.
- 33 unit tests in tests/ui/tooltip.test.ts
- Three e2e checks in block 46h of module 46: the redo button after
  the wait, taking the sign away, turning at the right border
- 50 unit counter-probes and four browser counter-probes all fail
  their tests. Three of the unit ones did not at first and got
  sharper tests.
- Not checked in the browser: the sign of a cut tab, the marks of
  the lists, turning upwards at the bottom, each other button alone

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 275e50af01 Let a tile report a touch instead of blocking it (#160)
A tile could be solid, one-way and scaled, but not report without
blocking. Water, lava, spikes or a goal zone needed a trigger object
of their own laid over the map. Now a tile has a switch Trigger, and
the collision events name the tile and the cell they met.

- A tile has the switch "Trigger (reports, never blocks)" under
  Solid. Its cells hold nothing up: no Move, no falling body, no
  ray. They raise On collision enter, stay and exit with the tilemap
  as other.
- The three events have the outputs tile, cell x and cell y. Without
  a tile, tile is empty and the cell is -1, -1.
- The three events have the input per cell. Off, the default, gives
  one event per area: cells of the same tile that touch side by
  side. On gives one event per cell.
- The scene view outlines trigger cells in yellow like a trigger
  collider, merged to rectangles but never with solid cells.
- Is touching with the map counts trigger tiles, and Set tile works
  while the game runs.
- Both systems find the touches with the same overlap check in
  runtime/systems/tileTriggers.ts, not through the physics engine.

Decided here:

- Trigger wins over Solid. A tile with both does not block, as with
  a collider.
- Water beside lava is two areas, and so are two ponds that touch
  only at a corner.
- An area names the cell nearest to the centre of the collider, and
  on exit the cell it named last.
- The solid cells of a map still do not name their tile.
- Normal, impulse and point are 0, as with a trigger collider.
- Collision scale and outlines shape a trigger cell like a solid
  one. One-way, friction and bounciness have no effect.

Tests:
- Gate on stein2: 205 files, 3104 tests (3067 + 37), exit 0
- e2e 39,40: 106 checks. e2e 1-8,39-43: 490 checks. Both on
  melektaus-atx. No full run, the sum of 1648 (1645 + 3) is
  reckoned and CI measures it.
- 37 unit tests in tests/core/tile-triggers.test.ts, nearly all
  against both systems
- Three e2e checks with a real mouse in block 40l-iv
- 24 unit counter-probes fail tests. Two did not at first, tests
  were added for them.
- Two browser counter-probes fail their checks
- Two screenshots looked at (yellow outline, the node with per cell)

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 cfd288c4b7 Halve the frame time of a playing scene with a tilemap (#284)
The performance panel showed Physics and Editor as the large parts of
a frame in a scene of 222 entities. Nearly all of it came from a
tilemap that only stands there.

- Whoever writes cells in place now says so with cellsChanged. Only
  then does cellsVersion compare the content. The comparison ran about
  60 times per frame and was the largest single item at 14 percent.
- The four writers call it: the painter during and at the end of a
  stroke, PaintTilesCommand on execute and on undo. A new writer that
  forgets it stays invisible.
- The game view is drawn once per frame in play. With an animated tile
  in view it was drawn twice, once by the run and once by animate().
  animate() now gets the redraw count from the start of the tick.
- TilemapField builds the geometry of a mesh only when its source
  changes: the cells, the tile size, the origin or the image. For that
  groupByTile and layerRows return the same objects for the same list.
- PhysicsSystem skips a tilemap whose source and switch are unchanged.
  The switch is kept because a map that starts switched off would
  otherwise have dead colliders once it is switched on.
- World.syncToModel looks entities and assets up in a map per pass
  instead of a linear search per object.

Measured on stein2 with a copy of the reference project, ms per frame:
Physics 2.64 to 0.97, Drawing 6.89 to 2.56, Editor 1.95 to 1.31.

Left open: syncToModel still mirrors every entity every frame. That
is its own issue.

Tests:
- Gate: 198 files, 2887 tests (2883 + 4), exit 0
- e2e 1-17,28,33,39-43,59: 810 checks passed, 40 has +3
- Smokes: 24 / 19 / 21, exit 0
- Three unit tests wrote cells directly and now call cellsChanged
- Eleven counter-probes fail. Two did not at first: the stroke needed
  a check of its own, the physics test has to start with the map
  switched off. That last one was repeated on stein2 only.
- e2e total 1613 is computed, not measured in a full run

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 ded71a92c9 Pick the target of an object variable in the Scene View (#276)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m32s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 10m45s
Choosing the target of an object variable meant finding its name in
a dropdown. With many objects, or several with the same sprite, the
name alone does not say which one it is. The eyedropper lets you
click the object where you see it instead.

- Every object dropdown gets an eyedropper button next to it. This
  covers variables, struct fields and list entries, in the Inspector
  and in the Variables tab.
- The button opens the Scene View or the container tab the object
  lives in. A strip above the view names the field and the current
  candidate and offers Take and Cancel. The cursor is a crosshair.
- A click picks a candidate and writes nothing yet. The candidate
  gets its own cyan frame, the selection stays on the object with
  the variable.
- Clicking follows the selection rule. `pickOn` in
  `src/viewport/pick.ts` uses `pressOn` and only counts objects the
  dropdown offers. A click on empty space keeps the candidate.
- Enter or Take writes through the same handlers as the dropdown.
  That is one undo step, or none if nothing changes.
- Esc, Cancel, a right click in the view or a second click on the
  button cancel without writing. So do a tab switch, another
  selection, undo, redo, play and loading a project.
- After Take or Cancel the editor goes back to the tab the pick came
  from.
- While the eyedropper runs, the view does not drag, marquee, paint,
  show handles or open its context menu. Panning and zooming stay.

Found on the way:

- Started from the Variables tab, the click missed the object. The
  Scene View is hidden while that tab is open, and the layout skips
  hidden children. The strip appeared then, the view moved down by
  32 px but kept its old height. `Editor.display()` now lays the row
  out again after showing it.

Tests (on melektaus-atx):

- unit pick and object-pick: 27 passed, 13 new
- gate: 196 files, 2844 tests, CHECK EXIT 0. Two more come from
  svg-icons, which checks every icon twice.
- e2e 57: ALL PASSED, 12 checks, 5 new (57e to 57g)
- Counter-checks work. Without the layout fix 57g fails. Picking
  objects the dropdown does not offer fails 2 tests. Writing on
  cancel fails 2 more.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 14972d057f Refactoring round 8: hide data files, safe saves, Esc as Cancel (#85)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m53s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 11m55s
Recurring cleanup round over the code since round 7 (bc688f3). The
issue now also asks to fix bugs and small inconsistencies found on the
way, so unlike the rounds before, this one changes behaviour in a few
places. Duplicated code in api went from 23 clones with 228 lines to
none (jscpd, at least 50 tokens). In src it stays at 22 clones with
271 lines, the same before and after.

Bugs:
- nginx served project and snapshot files as they were, so anyone who
  knew a project id could read it without signing in. Every file the
  API writes now goes through AtomicFile (temp file, mode, rename).
  Projects, snapshots, releases, accounts and sessions are 0640, and
  nginx answers 403 for them.
- Any signed-in account could delete a shared image, font or sound,
  which projects of other accounts may wear. Deleting one is now for
  administrators only. The editor never deleted a file, so the
  client's delete is gone.
- Two saves of one project could run at once. The lock file was
  removed after each save, so a waiting save and the next one locked
  different files. The lock file now stays, and deleting a project
  takes the lock as well.
- Bytes that are no picture got a 500 instead of a 422, because the
  error handler also threw for warnings silenced with @.
- A session file was rewritten in place. A request reading it at that
  moment found it empty and was signed out. It is replaced atomically.
- Delete did nothing for a shape picked in the vector art list. Delete
  now goes through removeSelection, one case per kind of selection,
  and a kind without a case fails the type check.

Inconsistencies:
- Escape on a question does what its Cancel does. Cancel on "Delete
  project?" and "Restore snapshot?" leads back to the picker or the
  list like the other questions did, and so does deleting a project.
- Editor texts use American spelling throughout, like the port names:
  48 British spellings in 45 lines (colour, centre, initialised).
- objectName and groupName replace eleven copies of "own name, else
  the asset's" and three of "Group". One copy fell back to the object
  id instead of "?".

Duplicates, dead code, comments:
- routeFiles serves images, fonts and sounds instead of three copies.
  HashedFileStore holds what the three stores shared: keeping a file
  under its hash with its name, listing and deleting. The stores keep
  only which bytes they take and what a record says.
- AtomicFile replaces nine copies of temp file plus rename.
- removeShapes is the one way the canvas, the inspector button and
  Delete take shapes out.
- GraphInterpreter.fire was called by tests only. The 54 calls use a
  helper in tests/helpers.ts now.
- FileStore.delete, HttpFileStore.delete and the PluginApi type were
  unused. A doc comment in actions.ts sat above the wrong function.

Checked and left as is:
- solidCells is used by tests only. It is the per-cell view before the
  merge into rectangles, the one place the largest-scale rule shows.
- An undo checker ran all 124 commands of the unit tests and compared
  the project before and after undo. The only differences are empty
  ports, groups and notes lists where there were none, which the file
  format drops anyway.

Docs:
- README: the check sum.
- Wiki, own commit: API (admin-only deletes, 422, file modes, lock
  file), Home (the "Not yet" list named three things that exist),
  Concepts, Keyboard, Vector art, Architecture and Development, and
  the 38 characters Gitea flagged as ambiguous on eight pages.
- .gitignore: the lock files, and pasted-*.png in any folder, which
  keeps the screenshot archive out.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 195 files, 2817 tests, exit 0 (+2 for the name helpers).
- PHP: accounts 52 in the web container and 53 in the CI image with
  the race test (+2), snapshots 15 (+1), releases 20.
- Full e2e run: ALL PASSED, 1586 checks (+6 in 12, 47, 49 and 50).
- Smokes jumprun, tetris, actor: 24, 19 and 21 checks. The example
  project files were restored byte for byte afterwards.
- The file stores of HEAD and of this commit give byte-identical
  output for the live folders and for store, list and delete in a
  throwaway folder.
- Counter-checks, all fail as expected: a 500 for bad bytes fails 12,
  no admin check fails 49, removing the lock file again loses saves
  in 3 of 3 runs (151 to 170 of 321), Delete ignoring shapes fails 47,
  Escape that only closes fails 50, and dropping the shape case fails
  the type check (TS2366).

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 dded62b9f9 Let the example-game smokes read texts in the game again
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m8s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 12m10s
Since 89aa92d (#169) a text in the game is drawn as a picture of its
glyphs on a sprite mesh, not as a Pixi `Text`. The test hook
`__gm.locate` only looked for `Text` nodes, so every game text was
invisible to it. The smokes have been red in CI since then (tasks 385
to 395): 5 checks in jumprun, 1 in tetris. The e2e part stayed green,
because it reads editor labels only.

- `textPicture.ts` remembers, per mesh, the text a `TextPicture`
  shows, and hands it out through `pictureText(node)`.
- `textProbe.eachText` reads both kinds and passes the text as a
  string instead of the Pixi node. `locate`, `locateAll` and
  `overlayTexts` use that string.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 195 files, 2815 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- smoke-jumprun: ALL PASSED, 24 checks
- smoke-tetris: ALL PASSED, 19 checks
- full e2e run (local): ALL PASSED, 1580 checks, the sum is unchanged
  although `locate` now also sees texts in the scene
- counter-check: CI task 395 with the old code, same checks, 6 red

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 cab1c0177f Show only the game view in fullscreen, in the editor and the link (#267)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m10s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 11m53s
A game is easier to judge and to play without the editor around it.
The Game tab and the game link now both have a button that puts the
game view itself into fullscreen, not just the browser window.

- The Game tab header has a fullscreen button on the right. It hides
  toolbar, panels, tab headers and console and keeps the zoom from the
  picker. A running game keeps running.
- A corner button at the top right, or Esc, leaves fullscreen and puts
  the view back into the tab where it was.
- The game link shows the same corner button. Over a running game it
  hides after 2 s without mouse movement and returns on the next move.
- A click on the corner button never reaches the game.
- Stop ends fullscreen. Stop switches back to the Scene tab, and any
  switch away from the Game tab ends fullscreen, so no empty screen is
  left behind.
- src/viewport/fullscreen.ts wraps the Fullscreen API and holds the
  rule for when the button shows. FullscreenCorner.ts is the button
  used by both pages. Two SVG icons are new.
- Editor.showGameFullscreen moves the GameViewport into the root while
  fullscreen is on.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 195 files, 2815 tests, exit 0 (3 new unit tests).
- e2e 60: 2 new checks for the corner button on the game link.
- e2e 61 (new): 4 checks for fullscreen in the editor.
- Full e2e run (local): ALL PASSED, 1580 checks.
- Counter-checks fail as expected: rule without "no game running",
  no stopPropagation (60h), no end on tab switch (61c), no reparenting
  of the view (61a).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 4194f3e150 Share a link that plays the game without the editor (#266)
A project could only be played inside the editor, behind the login.
To show a game to someone else there was no way short of an account.
A release freezes the saved project under a random token and serves
it on a page that holds nothing but the game view.

- Menu -> Release... opens a dialog with the state of the release,
  the link with Copy link and Open, Publish or Update release, and
  Take down behind a confirmation.
- Publish saves first and refuses while anything is unsaved, like
  snapshots. Updating keeps the link. Take down kills it, and a new
  Publish hands out a new token.
- The link is play.html?game=<32 hex>. The page needs no session,
  paints Theme.colors.background, zooms with Auto and waits for
  "Click to play" so that sound and keyboard focus are allowed.
- The game always starts in the start scene. Persistent variables
  are stored per link in the browser. Plugins are not loaded, and the
  dialog warns about them and about a project without a scene.
- GET ?r=releases/{token} is the only route besides auth/* that works
  without a login. The public answer carries the token as project.id,
  so the project id stays hidden. Release files are written with 0640
  and nginx does not serve them directly (measured 403).
- Starting, the frame and Load scene moved into runtime/GameRun.ts.
  Play in the editor and the play page run through the same code.
- WorldViewport moved to src/viewport/ and no longer needs the

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0c41cb97b1 Clip the children of an object to a clip area (#260)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m43s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 11m7s
An inventory grid could not scroll, because nothing could cut a child
off at an edge. A game also had no way to hear the mouse wheel. Both
are needed for a scrolling list, a dialog text or a window with more
content than room.

- A new object type Clip area has width and height and turns, scales
  and mirrors with its parent. The size gizmo drags width and height.
- Everything below a clip area, on every level, is drawn only inside
  its rectangle, in the Scene view as in the game. Nested areas cut to
  their intersection. The rule works on a convex polygon, so a turned
  area cuts right as well.
- On click, Is hovered and On mouse wheel do not hit a cut-off part.
  The Scene view does not pick it either.
- In the Scene view the area is a dashed frame that is grabbed only at
  its edge, so a click inside lands on the content. The eye under
  Shape hides the frame. In the game the area is invisible.
- While an object below an area or one of its parents is selected, the
  Scene view shows the cut-off part at 30 % opacity and it can be
  grabbed there. The rule lives in core/properties/clip.ts.
- The Properties node knows the type Clip area.
- The new event node On mouse wheel fires by the rule of On click. Its
  delta counts in notches, positive is down, and a frame's turns
  arrive as one value. It also gives x and y.

Limits:

- Only sprites and texts show the faded rest. Tilemaps and particles
  are cut and can be grabbed when open, but are not shown faded.
- Masks by texture shape are out, as noted in the issue.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 2773 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- Full e2e run (local): ALL PASSED, 1549 checks, measured.
- tests/core/clip-areas.test.ts: 12 tests for the cut rule, scene and
  game, save and load, hits, the wheel with and without owner, the
  notch conversion and the open rule.
- e2e 58, 5 checks with real mouse and wheel: the scene cuts (74 of 74
  red inside, 0 outside), a click on the cut part picks nothing, the
  selected rest is faded and grabbable, the game cuts, one notch
  logs 1.
- e2e 04 and 46 count the object types and the eye rows. They now
  include Clip area.
- Counter-checks: 6 in unit tests and 3 in the browser, all fail as
  expected. The originals were restored and checked with cmp.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 89aa92d2e3 Put a shader on a text and draw pixel fonts sharp (#169)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m5s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 11m40s
A text could not wear a shader, and a pixel font was always smoothed.
Pixi's Text takes no custom shader. It also shares one texture between
texts of the same content and style, and the filter is not part of that
key, so two equal texts with different filters would overwrite each
other.

- TextPicture rasters a text into a texture of its own and draws it
  like a sprite. Shader, time animation and edge mode work without a
  special path. A new text, font or size rasters again and keeps the
  shader.
- The old texture is dropped only after the shader holds the new one.
  Before, Pixi warned about a destroyed texture that was still bound.
- A text has a Shader row with the shader's property rows below, as a
  sprite has. Overrides, saving, animation and the Properties node
  (type Text) know them. A shader parameter named like an own row of
  the text loses to that row, as on the particle source.
- The font asset has a Filter row, Linear or Nearest. The row existed
  three times already (texture, vector art, pixel art) and is now one
  helper filterRow.
- Nearest rasters the text 8 times finer and cuts every 8x8 block to
  one texel: at least half covered is full, else empty. Chrome on
  Windows smooths canvas text sideways through DirectWrite whatever
  filter we set later. The cut removes those half pixels on every
  system, and the texture stays one texel per world unit.

Found on the way:

- On a font that is no pixel font thin strokes break apart under
  Nearest. For a pixel font at its own size this does not matter.

Not done:

- The preview in the Shader tab does not take a selected text as its
  picture, it shows the test picture then.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 189 files, 2759 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- text-shader.test.ts with 10 tests: rows and name precedence, a
  clamped override, save and load, animation, the font filter, and
  sharpCoverage on a smoothed edge and at the texture border.
- e2e 30 has 7 new checks: red glyphs through the shader picked with
  the mouse, the shader survives a new text, red in the game, soft
  edges under Linear, clean 4x4 blocks under Nearest, and half covered
  texels (Linear 238, Nearest 0).
- Full local run before the Nearest cut: all passed, 1543 checks.
  GM_STEPS=1,30 on the final bundle: all passed, 32 checks. The sum
  1544 in the README is counted from these two runs, not measured.
- Counter-checks fail as expected: in the browser no shader on a text
  fails 30h-30j, an always linear sampler fails the Nearest check, the
  old 1:1 raster leaves 107 half covered texels and fails 30k-ii.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 30de4d35a8 Give the scene tab a header with Fit and the eye (#245)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m21s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m15s
The scene view had no header bar of its own, and its eye sat in the
top bar. Switching between Scene and Game also showed two different
pictures, since nothing tied the free view to the camera.

- Theme.headerPadding (4) replaces Theme.padding in the top bar and
  in TabHeader, for the padding and for minHeight. Both bars shrink
  from 40 to 32 px. Nothing else uses the new value.
- The new ScenePane wraps the scene view in a header bar with Fit
  and the visibility eye. The eye is gone from the top bar, which
  keeps the menu, undo and redo.
- Fit with an active camera shows the world exactly as the Game tab
  does at its chosen step: the same zoom, and the camera centre on
  the same screen pixel. The rule is the pure freeViewOfCamera in
  viewport/view.ts, which also mirrors the letterbox snapping.
- Fit without a camera frames all content on a whole step, as
  before.
- New hook __gm.sceneHeaderAt(name). e2e 46g opens the eye there.
- The doc comment above Theme.treeIndent went away in the working
  tree along with this. It is committed as found.

Not checked: the two views only match while they have the same size.
With the tilemap panel open the scene view is narrower, and Auto may
pick a smaller step there.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 178 files, 2575 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- 2 new unit tests in view.test.ts: three cameras times four steps
  land on the same screen point as in the Game tab, Auto stays whole
- e2e 3h (2 checks): a real click on Fit at Auto and at Fit, crate,
  camera frame and view box match in both tabs
- GM_STEPS=1-3,46: ALL PASSED, 94 checks
- Counter-probes: without the centre offset the unit test fails,
  with Fit ignoring the camera both 3h checks fail

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 3abb6894a7 Let a container sort its content with its parent (#243)
A container is not drawn, so it had no place in the draw order. The
chain from its content to the parent of the container broke there, and
a container under a character could not be drawn together with it.

- A container gets the switch Sort with parent under Z. It defaults to
  off, also for new containers, so projects draw as they did.
- With the switch on, the whole content is drawn in the slot of the
  container's parent. The content's own switch does not count there.
- Containers in a row pass the content on as long as each has the
  switch on. On the top level or under a tilemap it has no effect.
- drawSlots follows the new sortsWith field of a draw item. Scene view,
  game and picking all use drawSlots, so all three agree.

Found on the way: a scene object hung directly under a container
spells the container out, and its template content is dropped. That is
the existing spelledOut rule, the tests now keep both cases apart.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 178 files, 2573 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- 7 new unit tests in sort-with-parent.test.ts: the switch, template
  content, override per container, a chain, top level and tilemap,
  game and picking
- e2e 5b-iii: a real click on the switch in the inspector, with undo
- 4 counter-probes over #242 and #243 bite (2 unit, 2 browser)

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 98b9b300d9 Zoom the scene view further in, up to 64 device pixels
The scene view stopped at 24 device pixels per world pixel, which is
too little to work on single texels of small pixel art.

- FREE_ZOOM_STEPS gains the steps 32, 48 and 64. All of them are whole
  numbers, so every texel keeps the same width on screen.
- The tile editor takes the same steps, so its fit can now land above
  24 on a small board.
- The unit test and the step list in e2e 39 follow the new top step.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 178 files, 2573 tests, CHECK EXIT 0

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 7e829f737e Load every picture of a project ahead so animated tiles don't flicker
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m26s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m6s
A texture was fetched only when it was drawn for the first time. Until
the file arrived, the tilemap skipped the cell for that frame. An
animated tile whose next step sat in another picture therefore blinked
away once on its first cycle, and sprite animations did the same.

- FileLibrary gets preload(files). It requests every file that is not
  held, loading or known to have failed. Each library reports what it
  holds through holds().
- src/core/model/projectFiles.ts lists the files a project names per
  library: uploaded textures, fonts and pixel art cels.
- App.ts runs the preload on every project event. That covers opening
  a project, new assets and edits from a collaborator.
- A new test hook __gm.heldPictures() reports which textures of the
  project are in memory.

Not done on purpose:
- The tilemap keeps no fallback frame while a step is still loading.
- Sounds still load on first play.

Not checked: the flicker itself was not reproduced in the browser, the
e2e check measures "held in memory". Modules 42, 44 and 47 read
textures from the project and were not run locally.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 174 files, 2518 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 39 + 40: ALL PASSED, 96 checks
- 3 new unit tests for preload and the project file list
- New e2e check 40k-ii: an unplaced picture is held after a reload

  "Autotiles: held false, unworn: held false"

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 8b44f97c35 Let a child sort with its parent so its Z stays local (#232)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m7s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m51s
An animated or set Z of -1 on a weapon put it behind everything on Z 0,
not just behind the player holding it. A child can now opt in to being
drawn at its parent's place, so its own Z only orders it against the
parent and its siblings.

- New property "Sort with parent" on sprites, texts and particle
  emitters, shown in the inspector right under Z. It is a normal
  property, set on the asset and overridable per object.
- With it on, the rest of the scene sees only the parent's Z and, where
  the layer sorts by Y, the parent's feet. Below 0 the child is drawn
  behind the parent, from 0 on in front.
- It works across levels: a grandchild with the switch hangs on the top
  object of the chain.
- It has no effect under a parent that is not drawn itself (container,
  behavior, camera, collider) or under a tilemap.
- New assets start with it on, saved ones read as off, so old projects
  draw unchanged. For that a schema row now has "initial" next to
  "default". The gold "changed" mark and reset follow "initial", so a
  fresh sprite is not marked as changed. No load migration is needed.
- parentGroups() in drawOrder.ts gives a slot only to the top of a
  chain and inserts the children there. Editor, play mode and picking
  all use it, so they agree.

Tests:
- 10 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-with-parent.test.ts.
- 8 existing tests list the sprite rows or defaults and got the row.
- New e2e check 5b-ii clicks the switch and checks order and undo.
- Counter-checks, all originals restored by cmp: switch ignored fails
  7, children not sorted by Z fails 6, no chain fails 1, "initial"
  ignored fails 9, row missing in the inspector fails e2e 5.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 03e7a78c3d Keep a tilemap with outlined solids at 60 fps in scene and play
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m1s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m33s
A project with three tilemap layers, two of them with collision on
water and hill tiles, ran at 33 to 52 fps. A CPU profile showed that
almost all of the time went into the collision geometry of the map.
It was rebuilt from scratch every frame although nothing had changed.
The animated water makes the views redraw every frame, so the cost
was never skipped.

- New module tilemapMemo keeps what is derived from the cells: the
  tiles of a layer, the blocking cells, the rectangles and polygons.
  It is reused as long as the content stays the same.
- A brush stroke paints into the existing cells object. The memo
  therefore compares the content cell by cell, not the identity.
  The comparison walks two arrays in insertion order.
- Clipped outlines are kept per outline list. The model always
  replaces that list instead of changing it.
- PhysicsSystem no longer rebuilds the shapes of a tilemap each tick
  while its cells, placement and settings are unchanged. Before, it
  also built a JSON key from all world shapes every tick.
- The overlaid layers after Set tile in a run stay stable. Otherwise
  the memo would miss on every call after the first edit.

The #184 work only helped Move and raycasts, not this path.

Measured on stein2 (i5-7500T, HD 630), script time per frame:

- Scene, nothing selected: 17.7 ms, 52 fps -> 5.8 ms, 60 fps
- Tilemap selected: 26.2 ms, 38 fps -> 8.6 ms, 60 fps
- Play: 29.9 ms, 33 fps -> 8.7 ms, 60 fps

About 3 ms per frame remain. The content comparison costs roughly
60 us per 700-cell layer and runs about 40 times a frame. The mesh
geometries in TilemapField are still rebuilt every frame.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 162 files, 2377 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2370)
- e2e 1-5 and 39-43: ALL PASSED, 289 checks
- 7 new unit tests in tests/core/tilemap-memo.test.ts
- 5 counter checks (content ignored, no memo, outline by kind only,
  physics always rebuilds, layer settings ignored) each fail their
  test. All originals are back, checked with cmp.

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).

game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m57s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m37s
Symbol names in the scene view were plain grey text. On a background
of a similar colour they could not be read, and names of symbols close
together were drawn over each other.

- Each name stands on a rounded, nearly black plate at 70 % opacity,
  3 px padding left and right, 1 px top and bottom.
- The text is light (viewportLabel) instead of muted grey.
- The plate of a selected object gets an accent border.
- New rule stackLabels in src/viewport/labelRows.ts. A name that
  overlaps another name or an icon moves one row down, then one up,
  then two down and so on, until a row is free.
- Names are placed top to bottom, so the upper one keeps its row.
  A name only moves vertically and stays on the side of its icon.
- Names outside the view still claim their row. Otherwise the visible
  names would jump while panning.
- New hook __gm.sceneLabels() for the e2e check.

The frame names in the texture editor already had a plate, so they
are unchanged.

Not covered by tests: the accent border on selection. Readability on a
light background was only judged from a screenshot on a dark one.

Tests:
- 5 unit tests in tests/viewport/label-rows.test.ts: free names stay,
  the lower of two colliding names moves, the stacking order, names
  avoid icons, 30 crowded names never overlap.
- e2e 5c-ii: 8 symbols on one spot give 8 plates, no overlap with each
  other or with icons, each name on the side of its icon.
- Counter-checks: without the overlap test in the rule 4 of 5 unit
  tests fail. With the scene view ignoring the rows exactly 5c-ii
  fails.
- ./check.sh: 161 files, 2369 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 89048413f1 Let a texture frame set where a sprite stands for Y sorting (#228)
A sprite sorted by Y stood on the bottom of its box. With a shadow or
empty rows under the feet that is too low, so a figure slipped in
front of a tree it should stand behind. The line belongs to the frame,
not the texture, because one texture can hold several sprite sheets.

- New field `sortLine` on a frame: whole image pixels up from the
  frame's bottom edge, 0 to the frame height. 0 is stored as nothing,
  so old projects stay the same. Shrinking a frame keeps the line
  inside it.
- `feetOf` in drawOrder.ts lifts a sprite by the same share of its
  box. Scene view, game view, play and picking all use it. In an
  animation the line of the frame shown right now counts.
- The texture tab draws the selected frame's line dashed in yellow
  with a knob left of the frame. At 0 the line shares the bottom edge
  with the nine-slice border and a resize handle, so the knob is
  tested first. A line inside the frame can be dragged directly,
  tested after the nine-slice lines.
- The inspector has a new "Sorting" section with a "Sort line"
  field. Dragging or typing is one undo step each.

Limit: frames of one walk cycle need the same value, set by hand.
Otherwise the figure changes its place in the order while walking.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 160 files, 2356 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2350).
- 6 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-by-y.test.ts.
- e2e 37 and 39-43: ALL PASSED, 162 checks. New check 37b-ii drags
  the knob up 6 px and undoes it, plus the inspector row.
- Counter checks: if feetOf ignores the line, exactly the 3 order
  tests fail. If the knob cannot be grabbed, 37b-ii fails.
- The e2e sum in the README is 1380, counted, not yet seen in CI.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 50854389bb Let a tilemap layer sort its rows by Y with the objects (#228)
A tilemap layer was one piece in the draw order, so a figure stood
either in front of a whole layer of trees or behind all of it. For a
top-down game the trees in front of the figure's feet have to cover
it and the ones behind must not.

- A new "Sort by Y" box under the layer list sets `sortByY` on the
  painted layer. Every change is its own undo step.
- Such a layer comes as one draw slot per row. On its `z`, the rows
  and all objects on that `z` are sorted by where they stand: the
  bottom of an object's box, the bottom of a row. Ties keep the
  hierarchy order, and other `z` values are untouched.
- A layer drawn as one piece and the map's own node stay behind the
  sorted ones on the same `z`, since neither has a single place to
  stand. Ground belongs on a lower `z` or stays unsorted.
- A new tile property "Sort offset" (whole rows, -16 to 16) lets a
  crown sort with the trunk below it.
- `TilemapField` draws a container per row for such a layer, and
  picking takes the row into account, so a click picks what is drawn
  in front. Scene view, game view and play share the same rule.

Limits: on a rotated map "down" is world Y. A layer sorted by Y costs
about one draw call per row and tile instead of one per tile.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 160 files, 2350 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2340).
- 10 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-by-y.test.ts.
- e2e 39-43: ALL PASSED, 148 checks. New check 40p-iii ticks the box
  and finds the slot of row 0, undo brings back the whole layer.
- Counter checks: without the Y sort 5 unit tests fail, with the
  offset ignored 5, with no row in picking 1. If TilemapField draws
  no rows, exactly 40p-iii fails in e2e.
- The e2e sum in the README is 1378, counted, not yet seen in CI.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 f4cc681df4 Fill texture and tilemap collision only where it is being edited
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m57s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m24s
The faint fill on every frame outline and on every tilemap made the
scene and the texture editor look green all over. Like the collider
before, the fill now shows only on what is selected, and a bit
stronger, so it marks the thing being worked on.

- Texture collision: all frame outlines stay visible. Only the
  outlines of the selected frame are filled, at alpha 0.3 instead of
  0.15 on every frame.
- Tilemap: the outline still shows where the whole map blocks. The
  fill appears only while the tilemap alone is selected, and only for
  the part the layer chosen in the panel adds. Solid is 0.3 and
  one-way 0.15, before 0.12 and 0.06 on every map.
- New query layerSolids(layerId) in items.ts. It builds the same
  solids for one layer and runs only for the selected map.
- The small landing wedge on one-way edges stays filled. It belongs
  to the edge marker, not to the area.

Not covered by tests: the texture canvas and the scene view wiring
that picks the map and the layer. Neither was looked at in a browser.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 159 files, 2337 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2334)
- e2e 1-17,39-43: ALL PASSED, 668 checks
- 3 new unit tests in tests/viewport/tilemap-fill.test.ts
- Counter-check: with layerSolids ignoring the layer, exactly the
  layer test fails. Original restored, checked with cmp.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 495d87847d Tint a collider's area only while the collider itself is selected
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m59s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m56s
A collider filled its area with a faint green in the scene view all the
time. It lay over every sprite a collider sits on and made the art look
washed out. The outline alone shows where a collider is. The area only
matters while one works on that collider.

- drawItem takes a selected flag. Only a selected collider is filled,
  every other one is drawn as its outline.
- The fill is stronger than before, alpha 0.3 instead of 0.12, so the
  selected area is easy to see. The value is COLLIDER_FILL_ALPHA in
  src/viewport/symbols.ts.
- The scene view says what is selected through isSelected. The game
  view keeps the default and never fills.
- Only the collider object itself counts. Selecting its body leaves
  the area unfilled.

Tests:
- 2 new unit tests in tests/viewport/collider-color.test.ts read the
  Pixi instructions: outline only when not selected, fill at 0.3 and
  outline when selected.
- Counter check: with the fill drawn regardless of selection the
  outline-only test fails. The original is back per cmp.
- ./check.sh: 158 files, 2334 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 1-17,28-30: no FAIL. e2e 39-43: ALL PASSED, 145 checks.
  A first run left out 39, which 40 builds on, and failed 8 checks
  in 40 for the missing tile only.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 4b7e8614a8 Keep play start and game view scale in the project (#226)
Both settings lived in the browser's localStorage, so they did not
travel with the project and differed per machine. They now belong to
the project like the symbol scale. There is no migration, old projects
load with the defaults.

- New module src/core/model/playSettings.ts reads playFrom and
  gameScale on load. Unknown or missing values fall back to the start
  scene and 100%.
- src/editor/settings.ts is gone.
- Play starts in the project settings dialog is an undo step
  (SetPlayFromCommand). It is only recorded on a real change.
- The game view scale is saved with the project but is no undo step,
  so Ctrl+Z never undoes a zoom. A scale picked during play is written
  to the stored project and survives Stop.
- Save states of persistent Variables assets (saves.ts) stay in the
  browser on purpose. They are runtime data of the game, not settings.

Tests:
- 6 new unit tests in tests/editor/play-settings.test.ts: defaults,
  save and load, broken JSON, undo of Play starts, scale without undo
  step, scale picked during play survives Stop.
- e2e 03g checks the value in the project, nothing in localStorage and
  no new undo step. 35f also checks project.playFrom. No new checks,
  the sum stays at 1375.
- Counter checks: no write to the stored project in play, no read on
  load, and an undo step for the scale each fail exactly their test.
- ./check.sh: 158 files, 2332 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 1-17,28,30,35,38-40,46: ALL PASSED, 752 checks

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 5399ef17e5 Snap the scene view zoom to pixel exact steps
The wheel zoomed smoothly and fit computed any factor, so the scene
view almost never showed pixel art with even texels. Under Windows
scaling even zoom 1 was off. The zoom now only takes steps that give
every texel the same number of screen pixels.

- The zoom counts device pixels per world pixel. freeView divides by
  the renderer resolution, so zoom 1 is one screen pixel per texel.
- FREE_ZOOM_STEPS: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, then 1 to 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24.
- The wheel moves one step per notch. A trackpad collects its travel
  and steps every 50 px.
- Fit rounds down to the next step. A saved zoom from before snaps to
  the nearest step on a log scale.
- Pan, drag, grid and resize use CSS pixels per world unit, so they
  still follow the pointer under Windows scaling.
- Always on, no toggle, as decided in the session.

Tests:
- 4 unit tests: zoom 1 at 125%, whole steps, wheel steps and ends, fit
  rounding and snapping of a saved zoom.
- Counter-check: without the ratio in freeView the 125% test fails.
- check.sh: 156 files, 2320 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 1-17,28,30,38-40: 726 checks passed on the steps before the
  final values (up to 8). Not rerun on the final steps.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 22a89ed0f0 Keep game view steps pixel exact under Windows display scaling
At 125% Windows scaling the game view drew 100% as 1.25 screen pixels
per camera pixel, so pixel art showed texels of uneven width even at
the round steps. The steps now count device pixels instead of CSS
pixels.

- gameScaleFactor, cameraFactor and cameraView take the device pixel
  ratio. 100% is one screen pixel per camera pixel, 200% two.
- Auto picks the largest step that fits in device pixels. Fit reports
  its factor in device pixels too, e.g. 156% at 125% scaling.
- Fixed steps start the frame on a whole device pixel.
- The game view reads the ratio from the renderer resolution.

Limits: main.ts caps the resolution at 2, so scaling above 200% is
stretched by the browser again. A changed ratio at runtime only counts
after a reload, as before.

Tests:
- 2 unit tests at 125%: 100% is one device pixel on a whole pixel,
  auto and fit count device pixels.
- Counter-check: without the conversion the 100% test fails.
- check.sh: 156 files, CHECK EXIT 0 on the combined working tree.
- No e2e: the harness runs at devicePixelRatio 1, same math as before.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 2592873d76 Pull nearest tilemap uvs a tenth of a texel in, 0.02 still showed lines
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m1s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m30s
At 0.02 texel the lines between tiles of a nearest tilemap were gone at
the zooms tried first, but still showed at others. The user raised the
inset to 0.1 by hand and checked it in the browser.

- A tenth of a texel is still far below half a texel, so the texel
  picked at every pixel centre stays the same.
- The comment names the new value.

Tests:
- tilemap.test.ts follows the value: the inset test expects 0.1/96,
  the sliver test allows up to 0.25 texel from the edge, and the quad
  test checks its uvs to 2 digits instead of 3.
- ./check.sh: 156 files, 2314 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 aef1eba917 Stop thin lines between tiles of a nearest tilemap at odd zooms
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m55s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m21s
At zoom levels that do not land quarter edges on whole screen pixels,
a tilemap whose texture uses Nearest showed one-pixel lines in the
wrong colour. The float uv of a pixel centre right at a quad edge
could round onto the first texel of the neighbouring quarter in the
sheet, which is usually a different tile. Terrain sheets showed it
most, because every tile is four quads there.

- Nearest now pulls the uvs 0.02 texel inside each quarter. That is
  far below half a texel, so every picked texel stays the same and
  pixel art keeps its size.
- Linear keeps its half-texel inset.
- The first draft used 0.01. The user raised it to 0.02 after
  checking the result in the browser.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 156 files, 2299 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2298).
- New unit test: every nearest uv sits strictly inside its quarter,
  by less than 0.05 texel. Two older tests now expect the inset.
- Counter-check: with no inset for nearest the new test and the
  inset test fail.
- No e2e check. The user checked the result in the browser.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 9ef360ba1b Let the game view show the picture at a chosen scale (#225)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m57s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m28s
The game view always stretched the camera picture to fit the pane.
Pixel art came out blurred at odd factors, and there was no way to
see the game at its real size. The view now has a header with a
scale drop-down, and 100 % is the default.

- The header of the new GamePane offers Auto, Fit, 25 %, 50 %,
  100 %, 200 % and 400 %. Auto and Fit show the factor they land
  on, e.g. "Auto · 100%", and follow the pane when it resizes.
- 100 % means one screen pixel per pixel of the camera resolution
  (width x height). The camera zoom scales the world on top of
  that, so a zoomed camera still fills the same frame.
- Auto takes the largest fixed step that fits the whole picture
  and falls back to 25 % when nothing fits. Fit keeps the old
  behaviour.
- A picture larger than the pane is cropped around the camera
  centre. Fixed steps start on a whole pixel so pixel art stays
  sharp at 100 %.
- The choice is kept in the browser like "Play starts". Nothing
  is written into the project.

Found on the way: the first draft applied the step to the world
instead of the camera resolution. The camera zoom then had no
effect at 100 %, which the existing check 12c caught (zoom 1.37
measured as scale 1).

The CI smokes were not run locally, because that would reseed
projects the user works in. All three smoke cameras are 640x360
and fit the 670x383 harness view at 100 %.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 156 files, 2298 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2290).
- 8 unit tests in tests/viewport/view.test.ts for whole-pixel
  steps, cropping, Auto and Fit with fallback, and zoomed cameras.
- 7 e2e checks in 03g. e2e 1-17,28,30,38-40: ALL PASSED, 727
  checks.
- Counter-checks: no cropping, no rounding, no factor reported to
  the header, and no zoom share each fail their own tests.
- Check total: 1367 (CI at c1a702b) + 7 = 1374, computed only.

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 cb32b4bc23 Draw scene symbols as white panel icons that make room for each other
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m54s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m5s
The scene view drew its symbols from its own SVGs, each in a type
colour and some on a plate. They looked heavier than the panel icons
and were hard to read on busy ground. Symbols of different objects
also sat on top of each other whenever their positions met.

- Every symbol is now the panel icon of its kind, one file for both
  places. The scene-only SVGs in src/viewport/icons are gone.
- Symbols are white in a thin dark outline with no plate behind them.
  haloSvg widens each shape of the file by its own stroke and draws
  that silhouette dark under the icon, so no second file is needed.
- A butt stroke end would leave its end without outline. The halo caps
  such strokes square, and the rigidbody arrow shaft is now a filled
  rect so its top edge is outlined exactly.
- Symbols are 18 world units across, stay upright and are clickable.
  A click selects the object, a drag moves it.
- symbolLayout places every symbol on its object's position. Symbols
  that overlap stand on a ring round the middle of their positions,
  evenly spaced one icon apart. A ring that reaches into another
  symbol takes it in until nothing overlaps. Ownership plays no part.
- Names sit beside their symbol, on the outside of a ring. Selection
  frames and parent links follow the symbol.
- A collider icon no longer shows trigger or invalid state. The
  outline colour of the shape still does.
- A lone collider sits on its sprite's middle again. A press there on
  an unselected sprite drags the collider, so e2e 02 and 16 now grab
  the sprite beside its middle. Hook __gm.container.objectRect helps
  16 find that spot.

Tests:
- check.sh: 2245 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+8 for layout and halo)
- e2e 1-16,31,39-43: 670 PASS, 2 FAIL. Both were sampling too
  strictly for the thinner, smaller icons. 5c looked for the exact
  outline colour, which the thin outline only reaches blended at this
  zoom. 31n started the ring scan one pixel past the smaller ring.
  Both are fixed, and e2e 5,31 then passed with 48 checks.
- 5c checks white with an outline and none of the old colours, 41b
  checks the ring positions and that a click on a symbol selects its
  object, 31n checks the now white particle ring.
- Counter-checks: without the halo only 5c fails, also with the looser
  outline match. Without the layout the ring and click checks in 41b
  fail. Originals restored by cmp.
- The e2e check total stays 1351.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e3d47ca9c1 Show a clickable symbol for colliders in the scene view
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m59s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m34s
Colliders were the only placed part without a symbol in the scene
view. A collider that sits exactly on its sprite was hard to find and
could only be picked by its outline.

- The symbol is the box with four corner handles from the asset
  panel. It stays upright and has a fixed size in world units.
- colliderColor() holds the colour rule of the outline (green,
  trigger colour, red for a shape that collides with nothing). The
  outline and the symbol share it.
- The symbol sits 28 units left of the collider centre. The sprite
  centre stays free for grabbing the sprite, and a rigidbody symbol
  on the same spot is not covered.
- The symbol has its own 26x26 hit area and the outline's handler.
  A click selects the collider and a drag moves it. sceneStack counts
  it as a hit under the pointer.
- The hook __gm.sceneIcon(id) also returns x, y, color, screen and
  clickable.

Findings:
- With the clickable symbol on the sprite centre, four checks in 01
  and 09 dragged the collider instead of the crate. That is why the
  symbol moved beside the centre.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 153 files, 2237 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (was 152 / 2234).
- New unit test for colliderColor. svg-icons.test.ts lists the
  collider symbol.
- e2e 41b: 3 new checks (beside the centre without and with a
  rigidbody, click selects the collider).
- e2e 1-16,39-43: ALL PASSED, 635 checks. e2e 41 alone: 20 checks.
- Counter-probes: no symbol fails both placement checks. A symbol
  without hit area fails only the click check.
- Check total 1348 + 3 = 1351, computed, not yet measured by CI.

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 8c5846f956 Right-click in the scene view opens the object menu (#204)
The object menu lived only on the hierarchy rows. Now a right-click in
the scene view opens the same menu for the object under the cursor.

- The menu moves out of HierarchyPanel into src/editor/objectMenu.ts.
  Hierarchy and scene view call the same function, so their entries
  cannot drift apart. Only the hierarchy adds "Expand all" and
  "Collapse all".
- Which object the menu is for follows the press rule from #203. A
  selected object under the cursor, even a hidden one, keeps the
  selection and the menu acts on all of it. Otherwise the topmost
  object is selected first.
- The rule is the pure function menuTargetOf in src/viewport/pick.ts,
  next to pressOn.
- Empty space, including an empty tilemap cell, opens no menu.
- The container tab gets the same, because ContainerCanvas extends the
  scene view.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 142 files, 2094 tests, exit 0 (was 2090)
- e2e 39,40 fresh: ALL PASSED, 80 checks
- e2e 1-16,39,40 fresh: ALL PASSED, 565 checks
- New block 40r (3 checks): menu on a hidden selected crate, topmost
  object without a selection, no menu on an empty cell.
- Counter-check: a right-click that always takes the topmost object
  fails 2 unit tests and the hidden-crate e2e check.

adminandClaude Opus 5 ad2a2d7921 Clicks in the scene view pick what is drawn under the cursor (#203)
Pixi's own hit test decided what a click in the scene view selected.
A tilemap caught clicks over its whole area, even on empty cells and
over sprites sorted above one of its layers. A press always grabbed
the topmost object, so a hidden selected object could not be dragged,
and there was no way to reach an object underneath another one.

- New pure rule in src/viewport/pick.ts. It lists the objects under
  the cursor front to back, in the order they are drawn.
- A tilemap counts only where it has a tile. Its depth there is the Z
  of the highest layer with a tile at that spot. An empty cell is
  empty space, so a click clears the selection or starts a marquee.
- Pressing on any selected object, hidden ones included, drags the
  selection. Otherwise the press selects the topmost object and drags
  it, as before.
- A click without drag on a selected object selects the next one
  underneath. After the lowest it starts again at the top.
- New debug hook __gm.sceneStack(x, y) returns that list.

Decisions:
- With a paint tool the selected tilemap paints anywhere on its grid,
  even under a sprite. With empty cells as empty space an empty cell
  could not be painted otherwise.
- Icons such as colliders and cameras stay in front. A second click
  now reaches the sprite under a collider.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 142 files, 2090 tests, exit 0 (was 141 / 2080)
- 10 new unit tests in tests/viewport/pick.test.ts
- GM_STEPS=39,40: ALL PASSED, 77 checks
- GM_STEPS=1-16,29,39-43: ALL PASSED, 626 checks
- 4 new checks in block 40q: sprite over a lower layer, empty cell,
  cycling crate, map, crate, dragging the hidden selected crate.
- Counter test: whole-area tilemap hits and always-topmost presses
  fail 4 unit tests and all 4 new checks.
- Check total 1290 (1286 + 4), computed, not yet counted by CI.

adminandClaude Opus 5 6a2b06dd4b Texture fills show in the vector tab as soon as they load (#196)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m21s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 7m29s
After signing out and back in, a texture fill stayed in its base
colour until something else redrew the vector tab. The texture
library is a singleton that outlives the editor. Four widgets
subscribed to it and never unsubscribed. After a new sign-in the
first loaded texture called a destroyed canvas, which threw and
stopped the loop before the vector tab heard about the image.

- TextureCanvas, TileCanvas, ShaderPreview and WorldViewport now
  unsubscribe in destroy(). This is the pattern FontPreview and
  VectorArtCanvas already use. WorldViewport leaves both the
  texture and the font library.
- FileLibrary.notifyChange catches errors per listener. A broken
  listener no longer starves the others. The error is still
  logged as "[textures] a listener failed".
- e2e 47i no longer forces a redraw. It waits up to 3 s for the
  tab to show the texture on its own.

Findings:
- The trigger was e2e module 45 (sign out, sign in), not the
  texture fill. My note in #196 that the browser showed no
  exception was wrong. The counter-check shows it clearly.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 137 files, 2051 tests, exit 0 (before 136 / 2049)
- 2 new unit tests in tests/viewport/file-library.test.ts
- GM_STEPS=45,47 after a fresh seed: ALL PASSED, 71 checks
- Counter-check with the old source and the new check: 1 FAIL
  (shape stays #0000ff) plus the TypeError. Old FileLibrary.ts
  fails the first unit test.

Textures are uploaded files named by their content, so they cannot

vector art. Its pixels live in the project and the tab rasters them
into a texture that sprites, tiles and animations can use.

- New asset types Pixel art and Palette. The first pixel art of a
  project gets a palette with the 16 PICO-8 colours in the same undo
  step. Every pixel is a palette index, 0 is transparent.
- Each layer on each frame is its own file data/pixels/<sha256>.px.
  The project only holds the names, so undo swaps names. The browser
  computes the hash and uploads new cels before the project is saved.
- New route POST ?r=pixels in api/lib/PixelStore.php. It answers 201
  and 422 for broken data. data/pixels/ is git-ignored.
- Tools: pencil, eraser, fill (contiguous or all pixels of a colour),
  eyedropper, line, rectangle and ellipse (outline or filled), brush
  size 1 to 8.
- Layers can be added, deleted, renamed, reordered, hidden, faded and
  merged down. Frames can be added, duplicated, deleted and reordered,
  with onion skin and a small playing preview.
- Zoom 1x to 32x in whole steps, grid from 8x, a 3x3 tile preview and
  Resize... with a 3x3 anchor.
- All frames sit side by side in one image. Each frame is a region
  like a cut texture frame, so texture rows offer "Asset / Frame 2"
  and the context menu has Create animation from frames.

Decisions:
- Merging down drops the opacity of the upper layer. Indexed colours
  know no blends.
- Only the last palette colour can be removed. Otherwise the indices
  of every image using the palette would shift.
- Undo stores the whole layer per stroke instead of pixel diffs.
- Alt+click picks a colour. It is a mouse gesture, not a shortcut.

Follow-up issues: #197 import from texture, #198 selection and
flipping, #199 PNG export, #200 more tools.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 136 files, 2049 tests (before 135 / 2011). 34 new in
  tests/core/pixel-art.test.ts, 4 from the icon tables.
- e2e module 48 fresh: ALL PASSED, 29 checks, console empty.
- Counter-probes bite: five on the unit tests, upload order (2 tests
  fail) and cels not uploaded in the browser (1 check fails).
- Check total 1259 in README is computed (1232 measured in CI + 27).

adminandClaude Opus 5 592ea942d9 Vector shapes can fill with gradients and textures (#186)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m14s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 7m14s
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.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 135 files, 2011 tests, exit 0 (before 134 / 1986)
- npm run build: exit 0
- GM_STEPS=47, freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 54 checks (before 44),
  0 console warnings
- 25 new unit tests, 10 new e2e checks in block 47i
- Four counter-checks bite, originals restored and verified with cmp
- Check sum 1232 in README and wiki, calculated (1222 + 10)

adminandClaude Opus 5 2d79230b55 A frame's collision outline can be generated from its pixels (#161)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 7m42s
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.

adminandClaude Opus 5 f4ec23d3d3 Colliders take a frame's outline and tiles have their own surface (#193)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m11s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 7m33s
Issue #193 asked where friction, bounciness and density of a tile
live. Tiles had a fixed surface (friction 0.5, bounciness 0) and a
collider could not use the outline drawn on a texture frame (#141).
Both gaps are closed here.

- A collider has a fifth shape "Frame collision" with a Frame row.
  The frame is picked like a sprite's texture and stored as the
  value 'frame'.
- The shape is linked, not copied. Redrawing the outline in the
  texture tab changes every collider using that frame, in the editor
  and on the next play.
- The frame centre sits on the collider origin, one image pixel is
  one unit. The shape turns, scales and mirrors like any other.
- Every outline ring blocks. Each ring is split into convex parts the
  same way a polygon is.
- Without a frame, with a whole texture or with a frame that has no
  outline, the collider is drawn red as a box and blocks nothing.
- Move, Rapier, raycast, detection, hit test, drawing and footprint
  all resolve the frame. At runtime an entity looks the frame up
  live in the current project.
- A tile has Friction and Bounciness next to Solid and One-way. The
  rows only show when Solid is on. Defaults and mixing rules match
  the collider. Density is left out because a tilemap never moves.
- Tilemap cells are grouped by surface as well as by one-way angle.
  Ice and stone never merge into one rectangle, and every cell brings
  its surface to Move and Rapier.

Findings:

- A tile with a collision scale below 1 is no longer flush with a
  neighbour of another surface. It is inset there like at an open
  side, the same as next to one-way tiles today.
- A bounce test first measured 0.84. The ball had landed on the hero
  at the origin, not on the tile. On the tile it measures 0.993.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 130 files, 1931 tests, exit 0 (was 129 / 1917).
- 14 new unit tests in tests/core/surface.test.ts. The Move tests run
  against the editor run and the physics system.
- 3 new e2e checks: 40l (surface rows follow Solid), 42e (collider
  has frame size, a walker climbs the slope in the frame).
- GM_STEPS=1-8,39-43 freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 376 checks.
- Three counter-probes bite: Move ignores the tile surface (2 fail),
  Rapier ignores it (1 fails), frame shape falls back to a box
  (5 fail).
- Check sum 1198 is computed (1195 + 3), the full run belongs to CI.

admin 3d7ad65f34 Vector art has a tab to draw in, which is stage 3 of #129
game-maker / gate (push) Canceled after 37s
game-maker / suite (push) Canceled after 37s
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.

adminandClaude Opus 5 6371576d37 A vector art asset is a picture now, which is stage 2 of #129 and the first stage that shows something in the browser: the asset sits in the picture picker, a sprite carries it in its Texture row and what the sprite shows has been rasterized from the shapes, the generator of #185 being registered for the type vectorart - installVectorArtPictures(app.renderer) hooks the source (core) and the generator (viewport) in once per page from App.ts, by a call and not by a module side effect, so a test may install it or leave it out; the rule lives in core and the painting in viewport - the new core/model/vectorPath.ts turns a shape into plain drawing commands (move/line/curve/close), closed rings being filled while all rings are stroked, a segment staying a line as long as neither of its ends carries a handle - a single handle is enough for a curve, the missing control point sitting on its own end, so a corner may stand next to a round side - and the way back to the first point is only drawn when it is curved, close doing it otherwise; holes go through one door only, Pixi recognising them from a GraphicsPath with checkForHoles, which tests containment rather than even-odd depth, which is enough for a ring inside a ring while without the flag the inner ring simply paints over the outer one (measured, see the counter-checks); the oversampling is the 2x from the plan - RenderTexture.create({resolution: 2}) puts 512 px on the GPU for a 256 canvas while texture.width stays the canvas size, which is the measure the sprite hangs on, and the render texture is the clip itself, so what juts out over the canvas is not in it and needs no mask; drawn pictures get the same sampler state as uploaded ones, setPictureFactory wrapping the factory for it, mirroring keep(); two measuring traps cost me runs - __gm.objectRect(id) gives the centre of the object and not its corner, so the first pass read four pixels next to the sprite and reported background while the rasterizer was correct, and the grid lines of the scene cross exactly in the centre point, so the hole check read #363940 and failed for the right reason, measuring beside it now; renderer.render() runs inside the picture request, which is safe here because every caller asks during its own widget redraw and the frame is drawn on the ticker afterwards, a nested render inside a running render pass would not be - that warning stands in the module head and in the notes; new module 47 with 8 own checks in its own lane (the picture on the GPU at double resolution measuring the canvas, the sprite showing the fill, the inner ring being a hole with the scene shining through, the later shape on top, the stroke running along the ring, a changed drawing getting a new key with the old one freed, and the sprite showing the new colour), the shapes being put into the model by mutate because the tab that draws them is stage 3, and 21 new unit tests in tests/core/vector-path.test.ts; three counter-checks hold: oversampling back to 1 fails the GPU check, checkForHoles off fails the hole check, and not drawing the curved way back fails a unit test; the full suite ran locally instead of only in CI because the change sits in TextureLibrary and touches every picture: ALL PASSED - 1165 checks, measured and carried into README and the wiki (#129)

adminandClaude Opus 5 cb1804dcf2 A picture in the editor may now be drawn instead of uploaded, which is the piece #129 (Vector art) and #130 (Pixel editor) both need and neither could build alone: TextureRef.file has been a file name on the server, isTextureFile() checking a sha256 hash plus an extension and TextureLibrary fetching it over HTTP, so an asset that paints its own image had nowhere to put itself - the key now also takes the form gen:<assetId>@<revision>, which an uploaded file can never look like, and everything that only passes a ref along (sprite, tile, tilemap mesh, particle source, shaders, aspect ratio) is untouched because it still sees a Texture; the revision is a string, not a counter, which is the one deviation from the plan in the issue and costs nothing - gen:a1@7 and gen:a1@c0ffee go through the same door, so a generator may fingerprint its own content instead of relying on every command to remember to bump a number; two registries keyed by asset type as a plain string, so a plugin may bring its own type - registerPictureSource(type, read) in the new core/model/generated.ts tells the model canvas size and revision and resolvePicture() builds the ref from it (no rect, no slice, smooth from props.filter like a texture), and registerPictureGenerator(type, draw) in the new viewport/generatedPictures.ts hands out the finished texture, projectPictureFactory(() => state.project) tying the two together per session in App.ts; invalidation is a rule instead of guesswork at twenty call sites: GeneratedPictures<T> holds one picture per asset keyed on the revision and frees the old one as soon as the new is drawn, TextureLibrary destroying it and dropping the crops cut from it, while a generator that cannot draw yet is not remembered but asked again next time - the class imports Pixi as a type only, so the whole bookkeeping is measurable without a GPU; carried along are the picture picker (a drawn asset sits among the textures by name, without frames), the delete warning (counts tiles and animations for it too) and the asset context menu, where "Create sprite from picture" now covers it while "Create animation from texture" stays texture-only because it needs frames; one finding while probing - crop() could not have cut a generated texture at all, a RenderTexture having no source.resource to draw back from and drawImage running onto null, so it is handed out whole, a drawn picture having no sheet whose neighbouring row could bleed in; 18 new unit tests, 10 in tests/core/generated-picture.test.ts (building and splitting the key, an uploaded file is not one, no registry means no picture, resolving to canvas size, a new revision is a new key, a canvas without a size, the filter, the sprite size, picker order) and 8 in tests/viewport/generated-pictures.test.ts (drawing once, freeing the old revision and only for its own asset, null is not remembered, no key means nothing drawn, a session change gives everything back, peek), and three counter-checks hold: dropping generated assets from resolvePicture fails 5 of the 10 core tests, not freeing the old revision fails 1 viewport test, and narrowing the picker back to textures fails 3; no e2e check and the check sum stays 1157, because without a generator the groundwork shows nothing in the browser - that evidence comes with #129 (#185)
