adminandClaude Opus 5.5 7dd3ae1131 Tie two objects with a hinge, a spring, a rope or for good (#154)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m19s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 11m41s
Two bodies could not be connected: no door on a hinge, no lamp on
a rope, no wheel on an axle. This is the first step of the issue,
the four joints without a motor. The slider and the motors follow
in a second step under the same issue.

- Joint is a new asset type, placed as a child of the object it
  holds, like a collider or a rigidbody. "Add joint…" in the
  object menu makes one or places one the project has. An object
  takes as many as it needs.
- Where the joint sits is the point it holds its object at. A
  hinge and a fixed joint have that one point only. A spring and a
  rope end at a connected anchor on the other object, counted in
  that object's own units, or in the scene's without one.
- The rows follow the type: length, stiffness and damping for a
  spring, length for a rope, an angle limit for a hinge. Length 0
  takes the distance the two ends were placed at. The limit counts
  from how the two were placed.
- The connected object is an object reference in the schema of the
  type. Pasting, containers and removing treat it as they treat
  every reference since #258.
- shownFor is a new schema option: a row is shown while an enum of
  the same bag holds one of the named values.
- The object needs a rigidbody, its own or one further up. Without
  one the joint holds nothing and the console says so once.
- A connected object without a rigidbody is a moving anchor: the
  joint has a kinematic body of its own that follows it.
- A connected object destroyed while playing makes the joint let go
  with a hint. Removed in the editor the reference empties, so the
  joint holds on to the scene. The issue asked for "inactive" there.
- "Add joint" ties two objects while the game runs, from a joint
  asset as the template. Destroy on the joint lets go, there is no
  Break joint node. Destroy with keep children takes the joints
  along with the object.
- The scene view draws a line from each joint to what it holds on
  to and rings the held point. A selected spring or rope has a
  round handle on its far end, and dragging it is one undo step.
- Joints hold in Play only. The editor run simulates nothing
  (#148), and the inspector of a placed joint says so.
- Rapier counts a revolute joint's limits absolutely, not from the
  start, so the placed angle is added. Measured with a probe.
- The + menu has 25 types now and no longer fits under its button
  on a canvas 800 high. It scrolls there, and e2e 04 scrolls to
  the last entry instead of expecting it in view.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx for this state: 218 files, 3390 tests
  (3336 + 54), exit 0.
- e2e 1-16,24,39-46,51,52,57,58 on melektaus-atx: 831 checks, all
  pass. Module 41 alone: 25 checks (21 + 4).
- 54 new unit tests: 40 in joints.test.ts (rope, spring, pendulum,
  limit, fixed, the other end, the node, containers, paste), 6 for
  the line the scene view draws, 4 catalog cases of the node. The
  remaining 4 come from tests that make a case per asset type.
- Four new e2e checks in module 41: Add joint from the menu, the
  rope to the hook with its line and handle, dragging the handle
  with one undo, the bob hanging in Play next to one that falls.
- e2e 04, 40 and 46 count the new type in their lists.
- 21 of 22 unit counter-probes fail their tests. The other one is
  equivalent: Rapier ignores removing a joint that left with its
  body, the guard stays.
- Three browser counter-probes fail their checks (2, 1 and 2).
- One screenshot looked at: icon, line, handle and the rope rows.
- The e2e sum of 1691 is counted (1687 + 4, 1687 measured by CI
  on e066613). The full suite and the smokes did not run.
- Not seen in the browser: spring, hinge with limit and fixed
  joint, the node Add joint, a connected object that moves, joints
  inside a container, the released game. Unit tests cover them
  but the last. Limits under a mirrored parent are not handled.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e933fad446 Give a shader room to draw around the picture it wears (#69)
A shader ran only inside the rectangle of what wears it: the quad
has the size of the sprite, and outside of it no fragment runs. An
outline or a glow built with Sample texture was cut off at the
border. The issue still spoke of Filter.padding, but since #77 the
shader is no filter any more, the limit is the geometry.

- The Output node has a number Padding next to Edge: so many pixels
  of the picture per side the wearer draws beyond it. 0 is the
  default and draws as before, 256 is the most.
- The quad grows and its UVs grow with it, so the picture keeps its
  place and size. In the margin the UVs run on below 0 and above 1.
- Transparent is a fourth Edge mode: outside of the picture there
  is nothing. It is cut in the fragment (texelAt), so it needs no
  copy of the picture with an address mode of its own.
- Edge holds everywhere alike, also for Texture color, Texture
  alpha and unconnected inputs.
- Padding above 0 with Edge on Clamp puts the hint "Padding with
  Clamp smears the border" on the Output. The shader still
  compiles. A chosen Clamp and the default cannot be told apart.
- All four wearers draw the margin. A sprite counts in pixels of
  its frame, a text in its units, a particle source grows every
  particle about its centre.
- A nine-slice sprite gets a ring around its nine fields, as wide
  as so many border pixels. The fields themselves stay.
- Without a picture a pixel is one unit of the wearer's own size,
  or of the particle size.
- Particles now take the Edge mode of their shader. It had no
  effect on them before.
- An object wearing a padded shader is never culled, or its margin
  would vanish at the edge of the screen.
- The preview in the shader tab shows the margin and leaves room
  for it.
- Picking, the selection frame, the size and the collider stay with
  the rectangle without the margin.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx right before this commit: 216 files,
  3336 tests (3319 + 17), exit 0.
- e2e 28,30,31,37,41 on melektaus-atx: 178 checks, all pass.
  e2e 1-37,47,48,58 ran before the last change (no culling with
  padding): 1281 checks, all pass.
- 17 new unit tests: the compiler (padding, Transparent, the hint)
  and the geometry (quad, nine-slice ring).
- Seven new e2e checks: four at the sprite in module 28, one each
  for text, particles and nine-slice.
- 17 unit counter-probes all fail their tests. Three browser
  counter-probes fail their checks (5, 3 and 1 of them).
- Three screenshots looked at: the sprite with Clamp and margin in
  the scene, the preview in the shader tab, the text.
- The e2e sum of 1687 is counted (1680 + 7), the full suite and
  the smokes did not run.
- Not seen: the hint at the node in a picture, particles and
  nine-slice in a picture, the game view while playing, sprites
  without a picture, vector and pixel art pictures.

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 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 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 24d360aeec Add zoom steps and a larger start caption to the game link (#266)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 4m5s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 12m45s
The released game only ever zoomed in whole steps up to 400%, so a
small camera on a large screen stayed far smaller than it could be.
The "Click to play" caption was drawn in the 11 px panel title size
and was easy to miss.

- GAME_SCALE_STEPS gains 300%, 500% and 600%. The game tab picker,
  Auto in the editor and the game link all read the same list.
- The start caption takes its size from the new Theme.captionSize
  (16) instead of a constant in GameScreen.
- The player page keeps the default arrow cursor at all times. It no
  longer switches to the hand over the caption.

Tests:
- view.test: Auto for 320x180 in 2000x2000 is now 6, with cases
  for 3 and 5. play-settings.test takes 2.5 and 8 as invalid steps.
- e2e 60 checks the caption against the panel title size and the
  arrow cursor before and after the start. Module 03 follows the new
  step list.
- ./check.sh 2808 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before the last Theme tweak,
  which changes no test). Full e2e run ALL PASSED, 1574 checks.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 3a3401f8ac Let the sort knob win over the corner handle it sits on (#228)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m19s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m57s
The CI run for 30de4d3 failed on e2e 37b-ii: dragging the sort knob of
a nine-slice frame resized the frame instead (h 18, lifted null). The
knob's middle sits exactly 8 px left of the frame, which is also the
edge of the corner handle's 8 px tolerance. Until now only the rounding
of the pointer decided which of the two won. The slimmer header bars of
#245 moved that rounding to the corner handle's side. The bug itself
has been there since #228.

- sortLineAt bounds the knob where it is drawn, from a gap to the reach
  left of the frame, instead of by the handle tolerance.
- TextureCanvas passes that gap in image pixels, scaled by the zoom.
- The corner handle stays reachable at the corner itself and to the
  right of and below it.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 178 files, 2576 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- GM_STEPS=1,37: ALL PASSED, 26 checks (37b-ii: lifted 6, h 24)
- New unit test: the knob's middle belongs to the knob even inside
  the corner handle's reach. It fails with the old bound.
- Full e2e run not repeated. 37b-ii was the only failure in CI.

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.

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
- Counter-probe: without the preload 40k-ii fails with
  "Autotiles: held false, unworn: held false"

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 74b9c60661 Stop marking older sprites as changed after loading (#232)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m9s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m36s
Loading filled every missing asset property with its `default`. For
Sort with parent that is `false`, while the gold mark and Reset compare
against `initial`, which is `true`. So every sprite, text and particle
source saved before #232 counted as changed once loaded, and each save
wrote the `false` into the project file.

- normalizeBag leaves a missing key missing when it has its own
  `initial`. It still reads as `false`, so older projects draw as
  before, but they no longer count as changed.
- e2e module 4 failed in CI on three checks since 8b44f97. Its Reset
  click hit the extra Reset of Sort with parent instead of Height.
- The #232 test deleted the key on the object instead of going through
  the load path. It now checks that loading keeps the key missing and

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.
- ./check.sh: 166 files, 2426 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 5: ALL PASSED, 13 checks. Check total 1398, computed only.

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

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

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

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

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 50bddf68d4 Keep scene view names readable on plates and in rows of their own
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.
- e2e 1-5: ALL PASSED, 140 checks. The e2e sum is now 1382 (computed).

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

  layer test fails. Original restored, checked with cmp.

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 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 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 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;

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.
- No full e2e run locally. The check count is unchanged.

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)

adminandClaude Opus 5 94a0a578ed A border drawn in pixels is as wide as the texture says a pixel is, so a small sheet can frame a large sprite (#96)
A sliced frame drew its borders one source pixel to one sprite unit. Pixel-art sheets are small:
a 16px corner on a 400-unit button is a thin line, and the only way around it was a larger image.

The texture now carries `Nine-slice scale` (default 1), next to `Filter`. It sets how many sprite
units one border pixel takes, for every sliced frame of that texture. The UVs stay as they are -
a corner shows the same pixels, only larger or smaller. When the sprite is too small for both
borders they are still scaled down together, now starting from the scaled size. With `Repeat`
the tile size scales too, otherwise a doubled border would sit beside a pattern of the old size.

The value is a schema row, so inspector field, saving and undo come without their own code.
Anything that is not a size above 0 reads as 1, and documents without it draw as before.

adminandClaude Opus 5 be8f2331de A frame that keeps its corners can be stretched to any size (#41)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 6m21s
TextureFrame carries optional `border` (left/right/top/bottom) and
`fill` (stretch | repeat); absent keys mean "not sliced", so no format
bump and undo restores the plain frame instead of four zeroes.

The sliced sprite builds its own geometry instead of the shared
UNIT_QUAD: a 4x4 grid, and for `repeat` one quad per tile carrying the
frame cell's real UVs -- tiling in the geometry, not in the sampler, so
a frame out of a sheet cannot pull its neighbour in. Above 64 tiles per
axis it stretches, to bound the buffer.

A sprite narrower than left+right scales both borders down together
until the middle is exactly 0, so the corners meet at a seam and never
overlap.

The texture editor gets four draggable border lines plus the same four
numbers in the inspector. Hit order is resize handles, then the lines,
then the frame body -- handleAt reports 'move' anywhere inside a frame,
so lines placed after it were unreachable.

admin 5671a38044 A game that stays silent is only half a game, so a sound is an asset like any other (#45)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 12m1s
Sounds follow the road fonts already paved: the file goes to the server
content-addressed under its sha256, the project keeps a named asset that
points at it, and nothing is ever re-encoded. The format is read from the
file's own signature, not from what the browser claims - the same .m4a
arrives as audio/mp4, audio/x-m4a or as nothing at all.

Playing is two nodes. "Play sound" takes the asset and may raise or lower
its volume; every call is its own voice, so two jumps in a row are two
jumps heard. Its loop input is a choice of three - from the asset, on,
off - because a checkbox has to spend one of its two positions on "not
set" and would lose a case: an asset that loops could then never be
played once.

Below the graph core stays browser-free: NodeContext hands out an asset
id, BehaviorSystem resolves it against the project and folds the asset's
own volume and loop into the call, and only viewport/SoundLibrary knows
about Web Audio. A run without a sink plays nothing instead of throwing.

The CI browser is muted, so the ear is no witness: the debug hook counts
started and stopped voices, and step 34 reads that counter.

rootandClaude Opus 5 05f7a2745e Frames: cut each frame into its own GPU texture, no more fill matrix (#47)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m18s
A frame drawn straight from the sheet showed a hairline of the neighbouring
cell along any edge that fell inside a screen pixel: with antialias on, a
partly covered pixel is still evaluated at its centre, past the edge. On top
of that Pixi rewrites a Graphics fill texture from clamp-to-edge to repeat at
draw time (generateTextureFillMatrix.mjs), so the top row of a sheet read its
bottom row.

TextureLibrary.get(ref) now cuts the rectangle out of the loaded sheet with an
OffscreenCanvas on first use and uploads the cut (key file|x,y,w,h, kept for
the session). Address mode is mirror-repeat: Pixi only rewrites clamp-to-edge,
and within a texel of the border mirror behaves like clamp, for linear as well
as nearest. Loaded sheets get it too, since whole pictures wrapped at their own
borders the same way. viewport/textureFill.ts and its test are gone.

root c74037b6e1 Show the camera's picture in the game tab without playing
The game tab held a "Press Play" hint where the picture belongs. It now
previews the scene through the active camera, and says "No active camera"
when none is switched on.

Camera choice and its world position moved into activeCamera.ts so both
are testable without Pixi. Entity.x/.y are parent-relative; the viewport
used them as the camera's spot, which framed a parented camera at the
wrong place.

rootandClaude Opus 5 4d84231b9f Trim needless comments and fix the picker width
Remove comments that only restate the code, keeping the section banners
and the notes that carry a reason, a measured fact or an external
contract.

ButtonOptions.width claimed to be a fixed width but only set minWidth,
so the Graph and Texture pickers grew with the name they showed. It is
now what it promises, with a separate minWidth for the buttons that have
two forms. Narrow buttons shrink their padding, otherwise a 24px icon
button had 8px left for its glyph and truncate dropped it entirely.

__gm.labelsDropped() guards that class: the overflow guard only saw text
that was too wide, never a label truncated to nothing.

rootandClaude Opus 5 35a1a23af8 Add a Texture tab for defining frames
A new Texture tab next to Scene/Game/Graph shows a texture sheet and lets
frames be drawn on it: drag to create, move, resize via eight handles, edit
name and rect in the inspector, Delete to remove. Every change is a command,
so one gesture is one undo step. "Slice..." cuts a grid from columns and rows
with optional offset and spacing, previewing the resulting frame count and
cell size live.

Sprites pick a frame instead of the whole texture through the same `texture`
property: it now holds either a texture id or a frame id. Frame ids come from
the same generator and are document-wide unique, so one picker, one property
and one set of instance overrides cover both cases, and every sprite written
before this still means the same thing.

A Graphics fill ignores a Pixi sub-texture's frame and draws the whole image,
because it derives its uvs from the shape bounds and the inverted style
matrix. The cutout is therefore a matrix (`viewport/textureFill.ts`), which
keeps a sheet at a single GPU upload no matter how many of its frames are on
screen at once.

rootandClaude Opus 5 d54a620ebd Add ESLint and Prettier, and close the node test gaps
Tooling:
- Prettier as the single formatting authority (110 columns, single quotes,
  measured against the existing style); Markdown excluded because table-cell
  padding turns the README glossary into 1000-character lines.
- Type-aware ESLint ending in eslint-config-prettier, so a rule always means
  "this is a bug", never "this looks different".
- .editorconfig and an `npm run check` that runs typecheck, lint, format and
  tests in one go.

Findings fixed on the first run: three more duplicate imports, four
String(unknown) calls (parameter types narrowed instead of casts), two dead
initialisers, two redundant casts, a console.log for a real error. Two
warnings were false here and are disabled with a reason in place.

Tests 132 -> 269:
- node-catalog.test.ts covers every node with a run(), with a guard that fails
  when a new node has no row.
- behavior-events.test.ts covers the ten event nodes through a running World,
  checking timing rather than existence.
- Input's state machine (press/release/releaseAll) is reachable without DOM
  events now; the DOM handlers are thin adapters.

Compare fell back to == without a configured operator although the schema
default is <; aligned.
