Until now every account could do the same, and managing accounts
meant running make-user.php on the server. Accounts now carry a role,
and admins get a tab in the editor to create, rename, re-role, reset
and delete accounts. Both issues share the same server files, so they
land in one commit.
#180 Roles:
- Every account is admin or user. A missing or unknown role counts as
user, on the server and in the client.
- auth/session and auth/login return {user, role}.
- Auth::requireAdmin() answers everyone else with 403.
- make-user.php takes the role as a third argument. Without it an
existing account keeps its role, so a password reset from the CLI
never demotes an admin.
- Admins see and save other users' projects like their own. Saving
keeps the original owner.
#179 User management:
- The account menu gets "User management" (admins only) and "Plugins"
(everyone). Both open the same closable tab, accounts on top and
plugins below. The fixed Plugins tab is gone.
- Per account: Rename, Role, Password (no old password needed) and
Delete with a confirmation. "New user..." creates one.
- Each account lists its projects with an Open button.
- Delete is refused while the account still owns projects.
- Renaming moves the projects along and ends every session of the
account. transfer takes the same lock as save.
- On their own row an admin can only set the password. The last admin
cannot be demoted or deleted. The server enforces both.
- The account rules live in AccountRules.php and accountRules.ts as
pure functions, so they are testable without a server.
Findings:
- At 1280 px the Delete button reached past the column edge and was
not clickable. The name column is flexible now, and module 49 checks
the layout.
- The server lets an admin delete other users' projects, but the
editor has no button for it yet. Left open in the issue.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 148 files, 2214 tests, exit 0 (was 147 / 2204).
- New tests/php/accounts.test.php, 51 checks, plain PHP. CI runs it
as its own step in the gate job, the host has no PHP.
- New e2e module 49 with 18 checks. CI creates the e2e-admin account
in serve.sh. Modules 14, 38, 46 and the scaffold follow the new tab.
- e2e 1-16,37,38,45,46,49: all passed, 581 checks.
- Counter-checks: owner on save, admin view, default role and self
delete in PHP fail 7, 5, 5 and 1 checks. Unchecked requireAdmin,
a wider column and the caller as owner each fail exactly their
e2e check.
- Check sum 1314 -> 1333 (+1 in 38, +18 in 49), computed.

Textures are uploaded files named by their content, so they cannot
be edited in place. Pixel art is therefore its own asset type, like
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).

Refactoring round one: HttpFontStore/HttpSoundStore/HttpTextureStore collapse into a generic
HttpFileStore over a FileStore contract; fontImport/soundImport/textureImport share assetImport
with an ImportKind per sort; ImagePicker/FontPicker/SoundPicker sit on FilePicker and describe
only their row. The group/comment drag logic leaves GraphCanvas for annotationDrag.ts (with its
own unit test), declaredRows.ts replaces the duplicated row build in particles.ts and shaders.ts,
and dead code in font/sound/compile/emission/transform/actions is gone. README: asset list,
check count 958, the two-job CI, the Scenes wiki page.

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.
The renderer is taken off the ticker; the ticker itself keeps running, so
the clock, a live world and the panels still get their step. Drawing now
happens inside a 200 ms trailing window that every pointer, wheel and key
event, every Widget.invalidate/resize, every Stack.relayout, every
EditorState.emit and both library onChange hooks reopen. The window rather
than a single frame is what makes the ~70 direct redraw() calls that never
pass through invalidate() safe, along with repaints an event only starts:
a microtask, a texture upload, a resolved font.
Editor.movesByItself() keeps asking for every frame while Play or an editor
run is on, a time shader is on screen, or the particle or animation preview
is showing.
The FPS counter now counts drawn frames over the time the renderer was
awake. Idle seconds are not slow seconds, so it answers "how smooth while
it moves" and holds its last answer instead of falling to 0 at rest.
Measured on the built stand, 20 s per variant, CPU of all chromium
processes from /proc: kept awake 75.5 % of a core at 60 fps, render on
change 8.8 % with 0 frames drawn, awake again 83.9 % as an order probe.
No colour check can see a missing repaint: pixelAt extracts from the stage
on demand and is just as green on a screen frozen a minute ago. Step 33
watches the new __gm.renderStats() counter instead.
A font asset holds a file and nothing else, the twin of a texture: the server keeps it
content-addressed under data/fonts/{sha256}.{ext}, with the format read from the file's own
four-byte signature (finfo reports fonts inconsistently across libmagic versions). A text
wears one through its ordinary Font property, so overrides, reset, undo and the Properties
node come for free; no font means the editor's own typeface.
The picker lists everything the server holds and renders each row in the face it offers.
The family name is gm-font-<hash16>, never the name inside the file, so two "Regular" cannot
collide. WorldViewport.syncText is the single place that draws it, which covers scene, game
preview and play at once.

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.

Images are uploaded to a content-addressed blob endpoint and stored as
data/textures/<sha256>.<ext>; the project only keeps the file name. The
sprite points at a texture asset through an ordinary property of the new
kind `asset`, so instance overrides, "Apply to container", "Reset to
asset", undo and `Set property` work without any extra code. The new kind
also replaces the ad-hoc asset picker the graph nodes faked as an enum.
Import goes through + -> Texture, drag & drop onto the canvas or Ctrl+V.
Images wider than 2048px are downscaled client-side and re-encoded to
WebP if needed, because nginx caps uploads at 1MB; an image that already
fits is uploaded byte for byte so pixel art is never resampled.
The sprite colour default changes from red to white, since colour tints
the texture multiplicatively and a tint of white shows an image as it is.

- Inspector rows compute their reset/apply entries through providers, so an
entry that would not change anything is dropped; a single remaining entry
renders as a direct button instead of a menu, none removes it entirely.
- Bold and buttons now follow the same rule (deviatesFromAsset /
deviatesFromTemplate in core/properties/resolve.ts).
- Hierarchy panel is a collapsible tree: chevrons, arrow keys, double click,
expand/collapse all. Everything starts collapsed; selecting an object
expands its ancestors and scrolls it into view.

Engine additions that the example game needed:
- `enabled` as a shared property of every placeable asset (default on, an
override on the scene object). A switched-off object is not drawn, does not
collide and its behavior does not run - and neither does anything parented
below it. Disabled objects are now hidden in the scene view as well, so the
editor shows what the game shows; they stay in the hierarchy panel, which is
where they are selected and switched back on.
- Asset type `text` (text, fontSize, color, align), rendered in scene and game.
- Pointer input in the game view: `On click`, `Mouse position`, `Mouse button`,
`Is hovered`, hit-tested against colliders, else sprite/text footprints.
- New nodes: Set/Is enabled, Set text, Is asset, Name of, Equals, To text,
Join text, Floor/Ceil/Round, Modulo, Random, Time, Restart game.
Tooling: shared CDP harness (tools/harness.mjs), central project registry with
a guard that keeps destructive scripts off the playground (tools/projects.mjs),
plus smoke suites for the demo scene and the jump-and-run game.

- Asset type 'collider' (box/circle) placed as child of a body object
- 'Add collider' shortcut (hierarchy context menu + inspector)
- CollisionSystem with enter/stay/exit pairs, sibling colliders excluded
- Nodes: On collision enter/stay/exit, Is touching
- Green outline in edit mode, hidden in play

- Position is now { x, y, z }; higher z draws on top, ties keep hierarchy order
- Viewport sorts the objects layer deterministically (syncDrawOrder)
- Inspector shows a Z field; asset properties that differ from the schema
default are marked bold with a reset button (ResetAssetPropertyCommand)
- isModified() helper, unit tests, E2E checks and seed updated

- Camera assets get width/height properties; play mode renders only the
camera frame (letterboxed, masked, culled) and nothing without a camera
- Remove demo arrow-key/camera-follow systems from play mode
- Clip world and gizmos to the viewport (selection frame no longer leaks
over the left panel)
- Blur focused widget on pointerdown outside it so inspector edits commit
before selection changes
- Separate objects/overlay layers so camera symbols always render on top
- Add tools/seed-demo.mjs for reproducible E2E runs
