adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d80d5cce26 Let a Start input or a variable name the state machine it carries
A sub-behavior that gets its machine through a Start input had no
state ports on Is in state, Set state and the other state nodes.
Their ports came only from an inline pick or a State machine literal,
so a machine handed in from outside left them empty.

- A statemachine port of a Start node can now name a machine
  (DeclaredPort.machine). The inspector shows the pick next to the
  port name. SetPortMachineCommand sets it with undo.
- machineIdOf follows an edge from such a port to that machine, so
  the state nodes it feeds offer its states.
- A Run behavior node has the machine picked in advance on that input.
- A different pick there is allowed, but the node warns, because the
  called graph asks for the states of its own machine.
- A statemachine variable of a Variables node can name a machine
  the same way, picked next to the variable's row.
- The inspector signature of a node now includes the picked machine.
  Before, the pick changed the ports but the dropdown kept its text
  until the node was selected again.
- A local machine handed in still starts in no state every call.
  That rule from #229 is unchanged.

Tests:
- tests/core/start-machine.test.ts (7): ports with and without a
  machine and undo, save and load, the preset value moving a shared
  machine through the call, the warning, a port of another kind,
  the inspector signature, a Variables node.
- Counter checks: without the new branch in machineIdOf 2 tests
  fail, without the machine in the signature 1 test fails.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 239 files, 3599 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 3e05cbbed5 Let pixel art and vector art be nine-sliced and sorted (#308)
Nine-slice and the sort line hung on the texture frame alone. Drawing
and sorting already read both off the TextureRef every picture hands
out, but the generated pictures always said "no slice, no line". So
the feature moves from the frame to the picture, without a second
copy of any rule.

- PictureCut (border, fill, sortLine) is one type. TextureFrame
  extends it, PixelArtAsset and VectorArtAsset carry it as a whole.
  The texture file format does not change, and no migration is needed.
- The rules in texture.ts take a cut and a size: cutSortLine,
  setCutSlice, rawCutSlice and the rest replace the frame* versions.
  serialize.ts reads all three through one readCut.
- cutTarget.ts resolves a target to cut and size: a texture frame, a
  pixel frame's size or the vector canvas. It lives apart from
  texture.ts because vectorart.ts reaches texture.ts itself.
- SetSliceCommand and SetSortLineCommand take that target instead of
  (assetId, frameId). They refuse an asset that draws no picture.
- generatedRef fills slice and sortLine from the drawing. The whole
  strip of a pixel art asset with several frames gets none, it is no
  picture of that size. With one frame asset and frame are the same.
- Nine-slice scale is one shared schema row, now also on pixel art and
  vector art.
- cutSection.ts holds the NINE-SLICE and SORTING rows once. The frame
  inspector and the drawing inspector both build them.
- SheetCanvas draws a drawing's lines that are set, dashed as in the
  Texture tab. They are not dragged there, the painting tools own the
  canvas (as proposed in the issue).
- drawOrder falls back to the picture's height when a ref has no
  rect, or a sort line on vector art would have been ignored.

Tests:
- Gate: 232 files, 3542 tests (+8: drawing-cut.test.ts, and vector
  art in sort-by-y.test.ts). Three counter-proofs bite: no cut on a
  drawing, a cut on the whole strip, no height fallback.
- e2e 48: 44 checks (+1, sum 1732). 48l-ii reads red and blue where
  12-pixel borders at scale 2 put them. Without borders both spots
  read green.
- Looked at: the Pixel art tab with the lines, and the sliced sprite.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 a526e1b40f Use a shader graph as a node in other shaders (#303)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m16s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 14m37s
A calculation needed in several shaders (a greyscale, a noise, an
outline) had to be built again in every one of them. A shader
function keeps it as an asset of its own, called like a behavior is
since #16.

- New asset type `shaderfunction` ("Shader function"), edited in the
  Shader tab. The panel beside the graph shows no picture, the
  readout counts its inputs and outputs.
- Two new nodes: `Function input` and `Function output`. Their
  declared ports, numbers or colours only, are the ports of every
  call. One of each per function, like Start and End.
- The call is node `ShaderCall`, named after the function. The
  palette lists every function, it can be dragged in from the Assets
  panel, and a double-click opens it.
- The compiler sets the function in where it is called
  (`inlineFunctions`). It renames the copied nodes `<call>/<node>`
  and turns an unconnected port into a constant. Passes, Time, the
  Edge cut and the corner walk then see a plain graph.
- A problem inside a function is reported at the call, in the
  function's words. The function's own tab checks it on its own
  (`checkShaderFunction`).
- `ShaderLibrary` keys a shader on its graph and on every function it
  calls, however deep, so a change reaches every caller.
- The port commands mirror a new, renamed or removed port into every
  call, as for a behavior's Start and End. `NodeDef.portKinds` holds
  the two ends to Number and Color.
- As agreed in the issue: no `Property`, `Color property`, Output or
  Vertex output in a function, and `Time` is the caller's clock.
- Own decision: a `Pass` may stand in a function. It becomes a pass
  of the calling shader, so a wide blur can be a function.
- A function calling itself, also through another, says so at the
  node and is not set in. The palette does not offer such a call.
- The Shader tab showed only the compiler's problems. A call nothing
  reaches was never compiled and looked healthy, so a call now also
  shows its own problem there, as in a behavior.

Tests:
- Gate: 228 files, 3510 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+13: 11 in
  tests/core/shader-functions.test.ts, 2 for the new icon)
- e2e 28: 100 checks, all passed (+3 in 28l-viii). Called and in
  place both #606060/#a2a2a2, halved in the function #303030/#515151.
- Counter-check: a fingerprint without the called functions fails 1
  unit test, and in the browser the change check (#606060 stays).
- The first e2e runs found two faults, both fixed: a double-click
  only selected the function, and an unreached call of itself
  showed no problem.
- e2e total 1728 is computed (1725 + 3).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 2e55071fa5 Lay a shader over a camera's whole picture (#299)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m2s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 14m59s
A shader so far worked only on its own wearer. Effects over the whole
game picture, such as a vignette, grey, scanlines or a red flash on a
hit, had no place to live. A camera now wears one, drawn the way a
field shader of a particle source is (#170).

- The camera gets a Shader row and, while one is picked, a Shader
  resolution row. The shader's properties follow as camera rows. They
  load, animate and appear in a Properties node under Type Camera.
- Every view keeps masks and objects in one container. CameraShade
  renders it into the camera's picture, cleared to the background,
  and draws the shader over the frame. Game tab and play.html take
  the container off the stage while the picture stands in for it.
- Screen pixels gives the picture as many pixels as it covers on
  screen. Camera pixels uses View width x View height and scales up
  without smoothing.
- A pixel counts as a camera pixel in both (the user's choice). The
  uniform uPixelScale makes Texture size read View width x View
  height, so a Blur keeps its reach at any game scale.
- Each camera wears its own shader, overlay cameras included. A red
  flash on the game camera leaves the HUD of an overlay camera alone.
- The scene view's eye has a Shader switch on the Camera row, off by
  default. With it on, the main camera's shader lies over its frame,
  below symbols and gizmos, and the world around it stays drawn.
- New tool tools/perf-camera-shader.mjs measures the cost.

Measured on stein2 (HD 630, Game tab at Fit 1310x679): a camera
shader that hands the picture through stays inside the scene's own
spread of 3 to 5 fps between runs. A Blur of 4 cost 4 to 8 fps.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 227 files, 3497 tests (3487 + 10).
- e2e 63 alone: 11 checks (6 + 5), e2e sum 1725 counted.
- 63e-63i: pass-through is byte-equal and upright at 100%, flat red
  reaches the corners while the overlay keeps its green, Texture
  size reads 640 x 360 in both resolutions at Fit, no shader draws
  as before, and the scene view shows it only with the switch on.
- Counter-checks: a camera left out of the shader wearers fails 1
  unit test. Counting screen pixels fails 63g with #ab6000.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b2326085ed Show each camera only its layers and lay overlay cameras on top (#302)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m2s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 14m26s
A camera could only show the whole scene, so a HUD drawn in the world
would run through a camera shader (#299) with everything else. Render
layers say which cameras see an object, and overlay cameras draw their
own picture over the main one.

- The project has a list of up to 16 render layers, edited in Project
  settings next to the collision layers. It is a list of its own, read
  by the same rules (`layerNamesOf`).
- Sprites, texts, tilemaps, particle sources and containers carry a row
  `Render layer` under their switches. Its default `Inherit` takes the
  parent's layer, at the top the first one.
- A camera has `Sees` (all layers by default) and `Overlay`. The main
  camera is the first one switched on without Overlay, so two plain
  cameras still draw through the first one only.
- Every view through a camera keeps only what that camera sees and lays
  one see-through view per overlay camera over itself. That view is a
  `WorldViewport` of its own, handed its view and frame from below.
- An overlay is fitted into the main camera's whole picture without
  distortion. One of the same size and zoom covers it exactly.
- `z` sorts within one camera only. The pictures lie on top of each
  other as a whole, which is what a shader per camera (#299) needs.
- The Game tab's preview now collects the scene once per redraw. Before
  it collected it twice, with the cameras it would have been five times.
- `SetCollisionLayersCommand` became `SetLayerNamesCommand`, which
  takes the list it sets.

Follow-ups: #304 (the mouse through a chosen camera) and #305 (change
the render layer at run time).

Tests:
- Gate: 226 files, 3487 tests (3480 + 7)
- e2e 63 (new): 4 checks. A green overlay sprite at z -10 covers a
  red main sprite at z 1000, in the preview and in the running game.
  A `UI` sprite in front of the main camera and a `Default` one in
  front of the overlay stay away. Without Overlay the second camera
  draws nothing. The settings dialog adds a render layer at the end.
- Counter-checks: inheriting from parents switched off fails 1 unit
  test. Overlays never drawn fails the two overlay checks in e2e 63.
- e2e total 1720 (1716 + 4), computed.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d6d38a6422 Lay a shader over a particle source's whole field (#170)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m2s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 14m6s
A shader on a source runs per particle and stops at each quad, so a
glow or blur across the whole cloud was not possible. A source now has
a second shader row that is laid over everything it draws at once.

- New rows Field shader, Field width and Field height (256) on a
  particle source. The size rows show only while a field shader is
  picked (new `shownWhenSet` on a row definition).
- The particles are drawn into a RenderTexture of the frame, and a
  sprite mesh wearing the field shader draws that picture. The frame
  is centred on the source and turns and grows with it.
- UV run 0 to 1 across the frame. Texture color, Texture alpha and
  Sample texture read the picture of the particles.
- The picture has as many device pixels as the frame covers on
  screen, at most 2048 per side. A frame off screen draws no pass.
- The field shader's Padding and Vertex output do nothing: the frame
  is the edge, and its corners stay put as on a nine-sliced sprite.
- A name both shaders declare is one row, and both uniforms read it.
- The scene view draws the frame dashed round a selected source. The
  Particles tab preview wears the field shader too.
- `tools/perf-field-shaders.mjs` measures 1, 10 and 50 sources. On
  the HD 630 they ran at 60.0, 60.0 and 57.6 fps against 60.1, 60.0
  and 59.2 without, one run per row.

Tests:
- Gate: 223 files, 3460 tests (3452 + 8), CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 31: 43 checks, 3 of them new. Sum 1707 is computed (1704 + 3).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 c88f57cf0a Let a project choose how its game link is zoomed (#279)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m52s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 14m31s
The page of a released game always drew the camera at Auto, the
largest whole step that fits. A camera of 300x180 in a window of
1280x800 stands at step 4 and leaves a border left and right. The
issue asks for Fit next to it. Answered there: a setting of its own
rather than the scale of the Game tab, and no switch for the player.

- The project has a field gameLinkZoom, 'auto' or 'fit'. A document
  without it reads as 'auto', so nothing changes for a project that
  is there already. No format bump.
- Project settings has a row "Link zoom" with a menu of Auto and
  Fit. It is an undo step of its own, SetGameLinkZoomCommand.
- GameScreen hands the field to cameraView where it passed a fixed
  'auto'.
- gameScale, the scale of the Game tab, is not touched and does not
  reach the link.
- The released copy is frozen, so the change reaches the link only
  with "Update release".

Decided here:

- The row is called "Link zoom", not "Game link zoom" as proposed.
  The longer label is wider than the label column of the dialog and
  pushed its button 12 px out of line with the others.
- The undo step keeps the name "Game link zoom", which is what the
  tooltip of the undo button shows.
- A note under the row says "The released game at the largest whole
  step that fits, or filling the window."

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 211 files, 3227 tests (3219 + 8), exit 0
- e2e 60 on melektaus-atx: 19 checks, all pass
- e2e 35,46,59,60: 74 checks, all pass
- No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1671 (1668 + 3) is reckoned,
  1668 is what CI counted for 9e869df.
- Eight unit tests: the default, saving and loading, values that
  are not a choice, undo, gameScale left alone, the factor of Fit
  for a window larger and smaller than the camera, and the rule
  behind Apply.
- Three e2e checks in block 60i of module 60, with the real mouse:
  Auto to Fit in the dialog, update the release, open the link
  without a session and measure scale, frame and pixels. Fit reads
  4.267 where Auto reads 4.
- Nine unit counter-probes and three browser counter-probes all fail
  their tests.
- Not checked in the browser: Fit in a window smaller than the
  camera, which has a unit test, and Fit under a display scale above
  100 %. Nothing was looked at after the build.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 2ff3a78607 Put the shapes of a vector drawing on layers and in groups (#190)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m41s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 7h24m17s
A vector drawing was one flat list of shapes. With many shapes the
list got hard to read, and several shapes could not be kept or moved
together. Now the shapes stand on layers, as in pixel art, and can be
put into groups that nest.

- A drawing has layers, each with a name and an eye. A hidden layer
  is neither in the tab nor in the picture a sprite wears, and its
  shapes cannot be pressed. One layer is the one worked on: the pen
  and Add shape draw onto it, and SHAPES lists what is on it.
- The inspector has a list LAYERS over the shapes. Its plus adds a
  layer, the cross on a row removes it with all on it, the last one
  stays. A double-click renames, a drag sorts.
- Group (Ctrl+G) puts the selected shapes into a group, Ungroup
  (Ctrl+Shift+G) takes it away. A group stands over its rows in the
  list, the rows one step in, and a row is dragged into a group or
  out of it.
- In the tab a press on a shape takes its outermost group, and a drag
  moves the group as one undo step.
- The model has layers with a tree of shapes and groups instead of a
  flat shapes array. The rules are pure functions in
  core/model/vectorTree.ts. A drawing saved before opens with all its
  shapes on one layer.
- SortableList takes rows with a depth and drops into a tree. The
  flat lists of tilemap and pixel art run as before.

Decided here:

- A group has no transformation of its own and cannot be hidden or
  locked. Rotating and scaling is the follow-up #291.
- A group is never empty: the one that loses its last shape goes
  with it.
- Several selected shapes are dragged together, grouped or not, and
  a click on a shape of the selection keeps the selection. This is
  what #217 asked for.
- Shift+click selects like Ctrl+click. With Select, Shift pans only
  beside the shapes, as in the scene view. The middle button pans
  anywhere, and with the pen and Paint Shift pans as before.
- A row of the list picks one shape of a group alone.
- Shapes change their layer through a row Layer in the inspector,
  which is there from two layers on. Rows are not dragged between
  layers.
- A group cannot span two layers, the button is off then.
- The pen does not draw onto a hidden layer, the hint says so.
- Groups are always shown unfolded.
- The four order buttons work inside the own group or layer.

Tests:
- Gate: 204 files, 3067 tests (3008 + 59), exit 0
- e2e 47,48: 108 checks. e2e 39,40,47,48 before the Shift change:
  209 checks. No full run, the sum of 1645 (1639 + 6) is reckoned
  and CI measures it.
- 59 unit tests: 36 in tests/core/vector-tree.test.ts, 23 in
  tests/editor/vector-layers.test.ts
- Six e2e checks with a real mouse in block 47j
- 47 unit counter-probes for layers and groups and three for the
  Shift click all fail tests, run on stein2
- Three browser counter-probes fail their checks
- Two screenshots looked at (group in the list, hidden layer)
- Only unit tested: the row Layer, sorting and removing layers,
  copying a group, the Shift pan beside the shapes

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 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
  EditorState. Pointer forwarding (gamePointer.ts) and setting up
  textures, fonts and sounds (projectFiles.ts) exist only once.
- Vite builds two pages. The play page loads 4 kB of its own code
  plus the shared chunk (Pixi, runtime, drawing, 653 kB) and Rapier,
  without the editor.

Found on the way, not fixed here: data/projects/<id>.json answers 200
without a login because the files are 0644.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 194 files, 2808 tests, exit 0.
- tests/php/releases.test.php: 20 checks, also added to CI.
- New e2e module 60 with 10 checks, played in a browser without a
  session. Module 46 counts the menu entries and was updated.
- Full e2e run: 1572 checks passed.
- Counter-checks: 3 unit, 2 PHP and 3 browser mutations all fail.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 94c1055895 Throttle what the editor shows while a game runs (#265)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m40s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 11m9s
With the behaviors fixed, the scene Performance test still ran at
about 23 fps with 500 entities. The rest of the frame went to the
editor: every spawn or destroy rebuilt the hierarchy with all its
rows, redrew the scene view behind the game tab and refreshed every
panel. The game itself is cheap. What the panels show of it now
follows a preset in the project settings.

- New section While playing in the project settings with three
  presets: Live, Balanced and Minimal. Every project reads as
  Balanced, including those saved before the setting existed.
- Live keeps today's behavior. Balanced brings hierarchy and panel
  values up to date 4 times a second and stops redrawing the hidden
  scene view. Minimal updates hierarchy and values only on pause and
  throttles the graph tabs as well.
- The graph and state machine tabs stay live under Balanced. At 4
  updates a second the beads on exec edges stutter, and the tabs
  draw only while on screen. This differs from the issue proposal.
- The game itself is never throttled. Pause, step and stop bring
  every panel up to date at once, and a change of structure that
  falls between two updates is kept for the next one.
- The rule lives in editor/playThrottle.ts as panelPolicy and
  PanelClock. PlaySession asks it after every frame.
- Objects spawned at the top level go into a hierarchy group named
  after their asset, so hundreds of gold pieces fold into one row.
  Groups start folded.

Measured on a throwaway copy of Performance test, 3 s each, fps:

- About 500 entities: Live 38.6, Balanced 56, Minimal 60.6.
- About 315 entities: Live 56.9, Balanced 60.5, Minimal 60.6.
- p95 frame time at 500 entities: 60 ms, 41 ms and 23 ms.

Tests:

- ./check.sh: 193 files, 2799 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- GM_STEPS=1,18,59: ALL PASSED, 54 checks.
- Full e2e run (local): ALL PASSED, 1562 checks.
- tests/editor/play-throttle.test.ts: presets, update rates, kept
  structure changes, flush, spawn group and loading old projects.
- New e2e module 59: preset chosen with the mouse, measured update
  rates, scene view behind the game tab, Minimal with pause.
- Module 03 now expects spawned objects in their group row after the
  next update.
- Counter-checks: 4 in unit tests and 2 in the browser, each failing
  as expected.

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 e8b3ac0a3b Keep behavior variables private to their own graph (#257)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m40s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m56s
A behavior often needs working state such as a timer or a counter.
Until now every variable showed up on each placed object and in the
Properties menu, so the inspector filled up with values nobody should
touch. A private variable works like any other inside its graph but
is not offered anywhere outside.

- Each behavior variable gets a lock switch next to Keep. It starts
  off, so existing projects stay as they are (`privateVariables`).
- A placed object shows no private variable, neither in the
  inspector nor while the game runs. If all are private, it says so.
- Switching a variable to private drops its overrides on every
  placed object in one undo step. Switching back does not restore
  them.
- A running game does not write a private value back as an
  override, and a project change during the run does not reset it.
- `+ Property` no longer offers private variables. A port that
  names one by hand still reads and writes it without a warning.
- The default value of a private variable is read-only in the asset
  inspector. Its shape (name, fields, type, delete) stays editable.
- Keep is now a pin icon instead of a word. With the lock added, the
  header of a list variable had no room left and the lock covered
  `+ Item`.

Not done: the animation track picker still offers private variables.

Tests: ./check.sh -> 186 files, 2711 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
e2e 1,19,20,21,56 -> ALL PASSED, 119 checks. New module 56 has
7 checks with a real mouse. Counter-checks fail as expected: unit
without the write-back filter, the sync guard, dropping overrides or
loading the flag. Browser with all variables on the object, an
unfiltered menu, or no value lock.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 38e0f656be Split a struct output into one pin per field (#256)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m32s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m45s
Reading one field of a struct needed its own Expand node, even where
the graph already knows the struct type. A split output shows the
fields directly on the node, so a Find … Match test becomes a single
Equals and the wires keep running left to right.

- Right-clicking an output pin offers "Split into <Type> fields" when
  the type is known and "Split as …" for every other struct asset.
  The output is replaced by one pin per field with the field's kind.
- The type is known for typed struct variables, typed Pack/Expand,
  fields of another split and item of For each, Find, Match and Item
  at over a typed list (portSplits.ts).
- Right-clicking a field pin offers "Recombine". Splitting drops the
  edges of the whole output, recombining drops the field edges. One
  undo step brings them back.
- The split is stored as GraphNode.splits and saved with the graph.
  Copy and paste carry it along.
- Field pins follow the struct asset like a typed Expand. A new field
  gets a pin, a removed field loses pin and edge, a renamed field keeps
  its edge. Deleting the asset keeps the last fields. The delete dialog
  counts splits, so it now says "node(s)" instead of "Pack/Expand
  node(s)".
- Renaming a variable carries its split and the field edges along.
- At run time the node still produces the whole value. A field pin
  reads its field like Expand, a missing field reads as empty.
- Limits: outputs only, one level, behavior graphs only.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 185 files, 2706 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e GM_STEPS=1-6,54,55: ALL PASSED, 303 checks
- New port-splits.test.ts with 12 tests. e2e 6z-vi with 3 checks
  using a real mouse: split Find.item, wire item.Name into the test
  and Match.item.Amount into the log (logs 7), recombine.
- Counter-checks: without field reads in the interpreter, without
  rename in the split, without moving edges on rename and without
  cleanup on field removal one unit test fails each. In the browser,
  without field reads nothing is logged and without type inference
  the split entry is missing.
- Check total in README: 1520.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 b0d0868f55 Give a list one struct type so every item keeps its shape (#254)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m28s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m38s
A list of structs used to let every item carry its own fields. Adding
an item meant typing the same fields again, and nothing kept the items
in step with the struct asset from #253. A list can now name a struct
type for its items, and the asset keeps them in shape.

- A list variable and a list field get the row Items with Mixed, every
  struct asset and Make struct type. Make struct type collects every
  field any item has, so no item loses a field.
- A typed item carries its type under the key `$struct`
  (ITEM_TYPE_KEY). listItems does not count it as a field.
- A list that holds anything but structs refuses a type, also when
  the offending item sits in an override. The console names the list
  and the count, and the list stays as it was.
- In a typed list `+ Item` adds an item with the defaults, without the
  kind menu. Field names are locked, values stay editable.
- The rows of a typed item take their kind from the struct asset
  (declaredKind in InlineList.ts). An asset field shows the asset
  picker instead of a text field, as reported in the issue.
- A struct item in a mixed list gets its own Type row. Switching a
  list back to Mixed keeps the type on each item.
- syncStructTypes brings marked items into shape and carries renames
  into them, also inside overrides and nested lists. One undo step.
- The delete dialog of a struct asset also counts typed lists.
- The game never sees the key. World and sharedState strip it with
  withoutItemTypes and bagWithoutItemTypes, so a struct stays a
  plain object at runtime.
- Add item and Set item get the setting Type. With a type they only
  accept a struct with exactly its field names (fitsType in
  SetItem.ts). Anything else is left out and logged.
- The item indent from #252 is back to its old width, the narrow one
  squeezed the value fields.

Not done: writing a variable does not check the type, and the List
node offers no type.

Found on the way: a test helper in list-of-structs.test.ts called
nodes without params. It now passes the same arguments as the
interpreter.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 61bbb96a96 Define a struct once as an asset and reuse its shape (#253)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m30s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m33s
A struct used to declare its fields wherever it stood. The same shape
in two variables meant typing it twice, and Pack/Expand copied it once
without staying in sync. A Struct asset now holds the shape in one
place, and every struct that picks it as its type follows it.

- New asset type "Struct" (not placeable, group Structs, own icon).
  The inspector shows its fields with name, kind and default value,
  and "Open" shows them in the variables tab.
- Struct variables and struct fields get a Type row: own fields, any
  Struct asset, or "Make struct type". With a type the fields come
  from the asset and cannot be added, renamed or removed there. The
  values stay per variable, overrides on placed objects still work.
- Pack and Expand get the setting Type. With a type their ports are
  the fields of the asset and read-only in the inspector.
- A change to the asset reaches every typed place in one undo step
  (syncStructTypes). A new field arrives with its default. A removed
  field goes along with its port, edge and typed value. A renamed
  field keeps its value in variables, overrides and on ports with
  edges, also through nested types.
- Undo for these edits records plain assignments (Recorder), because
  the reach of a change is not known in advance.
- Cycles such as Loot in Loot, also through another type, are refused
  and not offered in the picker.
- Deleting the asset names how many places use it. Afterwards each
  place keeps its fields as its own.
- Loading reshapes a stale copy in a project file to its type.
- "Make struct type" creates an asset from an existing struct and
  links the place to it.

Differs from the plan:

- A changed default value applies to new fields and newly typed
  places only. Existing values stay.
- Removing a single field shows no warning. Undo brings it back.

Typed lists are left for #254. Lists stay dynamic for now.

Found by e2e: after deleting or renaming the type the inspector did
not rebuild and kept showing the old name. Fixed, the check was red
before.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 182 files, 2661 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- GM_STEPS=1,4,21,22,54: ALL PASSED, 176 checks
- 14 unit tests in tests/core/struct-types.test.ts
- New e2e module 54 with 14 checks, real mouse. Module 04 counts
  23 asset types.
- Counter-probes: without the rename pass 4 unit tests fail, without
  reshaping values 8, without the cycle rule 1. In the browser,
  without spreading changes and with + Field despite a type, 3
  checks fail.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 393b8ec7f9 Build your own easing curve and use it on keys and Lerp (#247)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m44s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m25s
The built-in eases cover the usual shapes, but a game often wants its
own: a coin that bounces twice, a door that overshoots and settles.
A new asset type holds such a curve, and keys and the Lerp node can
pick it instead of a built-in ease.

- New asset type "curve": points like in Vector art, x is t and y is
  the value. A new curve is the straight line from (0, 0) to (1, 1).
- One pure evaluation in src/core/model/curve.ts serves the timeline
  preview, the running game and the Lerp node.
- The curve always has one value per t. The end points stay at t 0
  and 1, points cannot pass each other, and a handle that reaches past
  its neighbour is shortened along its direction. Loading a hand-edited
  file applies the same rules.
- Curve tab: click on the line to insert a point that keeps the shape,
  click on free space to put one there, drag points and handles,
  double-click or Delete removes, Alt-click toggles round and sharp.
  Every step is one undo step.
- Presets: all 30 built-in eases plus Linear, fitted with adaptive
  subdivision. Each stays within 0.4 % of the built-in ease.
- Preview: a dot runs along the curve once a second, a second dot
  shows only the value. The Preview button stops it.
- Animation keys get "Curve" under Easing with a curve picker. Lerp
  gets "Curve" under Ease, and its result may overshoot b.
- A missing or unpicked curve runs linear. The inspector says so, the
  node shows it as a problem, and deleting a used curve warns with the
  number of keys and Lerp nodes.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 180 files, 2612 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- GM_STEPS=1-6,25,53: ALL PASSED, 309 checks
- New e2e module 53 with 13 checks, all with the real mouse. Expected
  values come from its own Bezier evaluation.
- Counter-checks bite: without Bezier evaluation 4 unit tests fail,
  without handle clamping 2. In the browser, a key that cannot find its
  curve, a click that sets no point and a handle drag that moves the
  point all turn checks red.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 53fa63441b Group scene objects in the hierarchy, for the editor only (#241)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m58s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m58s
A scene with a hundred crates fills the hierarchy with a hundred rows.
Groups bundle top-level objects under one folder row that folds away.
They exist for the editor only. Parenting, positions and the game do
not see them.

- Model: a scene or container template holds a list of groups, an
  object may carry a groupId. Old projects load unchanged. Loading
  drops empty groups and members that are no longer top level.
- Only top-level objects can join a group. Parenting a member takes it
  out of the group, and Undo puts it back. There are no groups in
  groups.
- Order: treeOrder lists the members together, where the first one
  stands. The same order decides drawing at equal z, in the editor and
  in the game, so the hierarchy and the picture cannot disagree. The
  stored object list stays untouched when grouping.
- Hierarchy: a group row shows a folder icon, the name and the member
  count. Clicking it selects all members and keeps it folded. Selecting
  a single member elsewhere unfolds it. Folding lasts for the session.
- Create with "Group..." in the object menu. A name dialog asks first,
  so creating is one Undo step and Cancel creates nothing.
- The group menu has Select members, Rename... and Ungroup. The object
  menu adds "Remove from group".
- Drag and drop: onto the group row appends, into a gap between members
  inserts there, next to a row outside leaves the group. Dragging the
  group row moves all members as a block. The drop rules live in
  hierarchyDrop.ts as a pure function.
- Copy and paste keeps a top-level copy in the group of its original.
  A container built from group members takes their place in the group.
- Clicking an object that is already selected together with others now
  keeps only that object selected. ListView narrows the selection on
  release, so a drag starting on such a row keeps the selection.

Not checked in the browser: groups in the container tab, "Remove from
group", Ctrl-click on a group row and a drag out of a multi-selection.
The code path covers them.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 6015869297 Let the scene view hide symbols, names and shapes per asset kind
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m15s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m33s
The scene view gets crowded once a scene holds many behaviors,
colliders and tilemaps. A new eye button in the topbar opens a list of
all placeable asset kinds, and each row has toggles for what the scene
view draws for that kind.

- The popup lists all 9 placeable kinds from Behavior to Tilemap, with
  the columns Symbol, Name and Shape. It stays open while switching.
- Sprite, Text and Tilemap draw no symbol, so their symbol toggle is
  greyed out. Their name toggle shows a new centred name tag, which is
  off by default.
- Shape exists for Collider and Tilemap. A hidden collider outline is
  neither drawn nor clickable. A hidden tilemap shape removes the
  collision outlines and the paint tint, the tiles stay visible.
- A hidden symbol takes no slot in the ring and draws no dashed link to
  its parent. A name that stays on moves to the centre of the object.
- The setting lives in the project as `sceneVisibility`, not in
  localStorage. Older projects load with the defaults, which match the
  view as it was.
- Switching has no undo step, like the game scale. It only changes the
  view. A change made during Play survives Stop.
- The rules sit in `src/core/model/sceneVisibility.ts`, the popup in
  `src/editor/panels/SceneVisibilityPopup.ts`. Four new SVG icons.

Not covered by a check: symbol off with name on for a kind with a
symbol, Text and Tilemap with names, and the paint tint with shape off.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 173 files, 2515 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 46: ALL PASSED, 17 checks. 46g clicks the popup, lays a small
  tilemap over the crate and removes it again.
- e2e 8 alone on a fresh seed: ALL PASSED, 23 checks. A red check in
  the partial run 2,8,46 came from the module selection.
- 8 new unit tests in tests/editor/scene-visibility.test.ts.
- 4 counter-probes, each fails its test: load ignores the saved value,
  Play skips the saved model, scene view ignores collider shape, scene
  view ignores tilemap shape.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 0c5ac32b59 Let structs and lists nest to any depth (#239)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m52s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m24s
Structs and lists were capped at two fixed levels (list of structs,
struct with a list field). Anything deeper was dropped silently on
load, in node settings and when written to a variable. The cap came
from an early design choice, not from a technical need, so it is
lifted completely instead of adding a third fixed level.

- One kind list NESTED_KINDS replaces ListItemKind and
  StructFieldKind. The flat special cases in listItems.ts are gone,
  every value goes through one recursive path.
- A struct inside a struct is declared, like a top-level struct.
  Values coming in over an edge are brought into that shape. Struct
  items in lists still take their fields from the value.
- New valuePath.ts addresses any nested spot by keys and indices.
  ListSlot.field is now ListSlot.path.
- Field commands (add, rename, remove) take the path to the struct.
  They change declaration, own value and all overrides in one undo
  step, as before on the top level.
- Inspector: "+ Field" offers Struct and List on every level. A
  nested struct is a header row with its own "+ Field", its fields
  are indented one step further.
- List tab: a list item shows "n items" and opens one level deeper.
  The title shows the path, e.g. "Listy · nums · [3]".
- Pack in Pack now writes a struct into a struct field instead of
  text. Objects are kept at any depth and stripped at every exit.
- A list edit in a struct field without an existing object override
  now starts from the shown value instead of an empty struct.
- Old projects load unchanged. Save, load and save again gives the
  same result.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 172 files, 2498 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 21 + 22: ALL PASSED, 90 checks (new 21d-iii, 22f-ii,
  21d and 22f updated)
- 20 new unit tests in nested-values.test.ts and
  nested-list-slot.test.ts, three tests that pinned the old cap
  turned around
- 6 counter-probes, each fails 1 to 8 tests, originals restored
  and checked with cmp
- Not covered: a nested struct inside a struct item in the list
  tab has no e2e click

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
  marks nothing. serialize.test.ts no longer expects the filled value.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 167 files, 2435 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 1-5 chained: ALL PASSED, 141 checks (before the fix the same
  three module 4 checks failed locally, as in CI)
- Counter-check: without the fix the extended test fails

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 94749b4f3e Let a project keep named snapshots and restore them (#231)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m6s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m38s
Autosave only keeps the latest revision. Before a risky change there
was no way to put a known good state aside and go back to it later.
The main menu now has "Snapshots..." to create, restore and delete
named copies of the open project.

- Server: SnapshotStore.php keeps each snapshot as a copy of the
  project JSON under data/snapshots/<project>/ (git-ignored). Four
  routes under projects/{id}/snapshots use the same owner check as the
  project, so an admin also sees foreign snapshots.
- Create writes the autosave first. With unsaved edits (play with open
  edits, failed save, conflict) no snapshot is made and a message says
  why. The rule is the pure function in src/editor/snapshots.ts.
- An empty name falls back to the local date and time.
- Restore asks first, then keeps the current state as "Before
  restoring <name>". It writes the snapshot back as a new revision and
  reloads the project, so the undo list is empty. A restore can itself
  be undone by restoring that snapshot.
- Deleting a project deletes its snapshots too. Images, sounds, fonts
  and pixel art are content-addressed and never deleted, so a snapshot
  can always reach them.
- Client: SnapshotStore and HttpSnapshotStore in src/core/store, the
  SnapshotsDialog, and the flows in ProjectSession. A stale revision
  (409) becomes StaleRevisionError.
- CI runs the new PHP test in the gate job next to accounts.

Not covered by e2e: the lock during play and the conflict case. Both
are unit tests only.

Tests:
- check.sh: 164 files, 2401 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- tests/php/snapshots.test.php: 14 checks, all passed.
- tests/editor/snapshots.test.ts: 5 tests for the time format, the
  blocker rule, the routes and 409.
- New e2e module 50 on a throwaway project: create, rename, restore,
  undo the restore, delete, then delete the project and get 404 on
  its snapshots. 46b expects the new menu entry. e2e 46,50: 20 checks
  passed. The check sum goes from 1385 to 1393 (computed).
- Counter-checks, originals restored and compared with cmp: blocker
  always allowed fails 1 unit test. No sorting fails 2 PHP checks.
  Restore without keeping the old state fails 50c and aborts 50d.
- The first sort test with 2 snapshots passed by chance half the time
  because of random ids. It now uses 8.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 454d202109 Let each variable of a behavior choose whether calls keep it (#229)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m13s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m46s
The first version of #229 put a Keep state switch on the Run behavior
node. The user wanted it where the variable is declared instead. Whether
a value lives on belongs to the variable, not to every call site.

- The node switch keepState is gone again. RunBehavior, CallResult and
  nested.ts are back to what they were before #229.
- BehaviorAsset.keptVariables lists the kept names. It lives on the
  asset and not in PropertyDef, because that is the schema of every
  inspector row.
- A variable added from now on starts with Keep on. Variables in
  existing projects start with Keep off, so old projects run unchanged.
- SetVariableKeptCommand flips the switch as one undo step. Add, remove
  and rename carry the list along. Loading drops names that are not
  declared.
- The interpreter keeps only the listed variables, per Run behavior
  node and per object as before. The others start at their defaults.
- Local state machines in a called behavior start empty on every call
  again, as before #229. Global and scene machines are unchanged.
- The inspector shows a Keep button in each variable row of a behavior.
  Its state is part of the asset signature, so a click redraws the row.
  Without that the button kept its old look until the inspector was
  reopened.

Found: the project Garden of Sacrifices still has keepState = true on
the call Player -> Character Movement. It is ignored now. Direction
there predates the switch, so Keep is off until set by hand.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 163 files, 2392 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2388)
- tests/core/keep-state.test.ts rewritten, 15 tests
- e2e 19: ALL PASSED, 35 checks. 19c-ii now clicks the Keep button
  of a new variable: on when added, off by a click, on again, off
  after undo.
- Counter-checks, each fails its own test: keep list ignored (2),
  states kept (1), new variable not kept (8), rename drops the list
  (1), no Keep button (e2e 19c-ii).

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 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 5afb70a92e Let the project set the size of scene view symbols
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m0s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 9m27s
Pixel art projects draw at very different sizes, so the fixed 18 px
icons of behaviors, containers and rigidbodies were too big in some
projects and too small in others. The size now lives in the project
settings and travels with the project.

- New field Symbol scale in the project settings dialog, below Play
  starts. It takes 0.1 to 4 with two decimals and defaults to 1.
- The value is stored as project.symbolScale. Older projects load
  with 1, and values out of range are clamped on load.
- Every change is its own undo step through a project command.
- The factor scales the icon size, the spacing of icons that share a
  spot, the label offset and the selection frame of icon-only symbols.
- The footprints in bounds.ts that Fit uses stay as they were. The
  hit area follows the icon, so clicks match what is drawn.
- uiHooks reports the icon size so e2e can measure it.

The e2e sum in the README is 1375. That is 1374 plus one new check,
and 1374 itself has not been confirmed by CI yet.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 157 files, 2326 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2320).
- New tests/core/symbol-scale.test.ts with 5 tests (default, save
  and load, clamping, undo, icon frame), one more in
  project-settings.test.ts.
- e2e 46f: dialog opens with 1, 0.5 plus Apply gives a 9 px icon,
  undo gives 18 again. Module 46: ALL PASSED, 13 checks.
- Counter checks: without loading the value the save and load test
  fails. With the icon ignoring the factor exactly 46f fails. Both
  originals restored per cmp.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 ceaa44e5b8 Add roles and a user management tab for admins (#180, #179)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m50s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m57s
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.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 d7c0b7cfdb Variables and state machines can reset with every scene (#164)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m43s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m40s
A shared variable or machine used to live either per object or for the
whole run. Levels need a third lifetime: shared like global, but built
fresh from the declarations whenever a scene is loaded.

- New scope `scene` for Variables assets and state machines. A missing
  field keeps the old meaning: `global` for assets, `local` for
  machines, so existing projects do not change.
- Returning to a scene that was visited before is fresh as well. There
  is no memory per scene.
- A `scene` machine announces its start state again after a scene swap,
  so `On state entered` in the new scene hears it. A global machine
  stays quiet because it never left its state.
- The rule lives in two pure functions in `sharedState.ts`
  (`carriedForward`, `restartedAssets`). BehaviorSystem only calls them.
- The inspector shows a Scope dropdown on Variables assets and a third
  step on the machine dropdown, with a note on what `scene` means.

Decisions:
- `scene` and `persistent` exclude each other (variant A). The choice
  dialog was cancelled, so this is an assumption to revisit. A
  scene-scoped asset hides the Persistent switch, and switching to
  `scene` drops the flag (undo restores it). The guard sits in
  `isPersistent` itself, so no path can save values the scope throws
  away anyway.

Findings:
- `clickText('Scene')` hits the Scene tab, not the menu entry. One e2e
  check was red because of that, and its partner was falsely green
  because it compared `undefined` with `undefined`. Both use `clickLast`
  now.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 144 files, 2142 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 143 / 2133)
- 9 new unit tests in tests/core/scene-scope.test.ts
- e2e 32 fresh: ALL PASSED, 17 checks
- e2e 1-3,17,18,26,32,35 fresh: ALL PASSED, 213 checks
- 3 new e2e checks (35: scene-scoped asset resets on swap, 32h: dropdown,
  note, hidden Persistent switch)
- Counter-checks bite: ignoring `restarted` fails 2 unit tests and the
  new check in 35, the old announcement rule fails 1, dropping the scope
  guard in `isPersistent` fails 1. Originals restored, cmp IDENTICAL.
- Check sum 1307 (1304 + 3) is computed. Last CI measurement: 1293.

adminandClaude Opus 5 41772e53f7 Variables assets can keep their values from one run to the next (#166)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m21s
game-maker / gate (push) Failing after 3h5m52s
A game needs a high score or an unlocked level to survive the end of
a run. As agreed in the issue there are no save or load nodes. A
Variables asset gets a switch instead, and the existing Variables
nodes read and write the values as before.

- A "Persistent" checkbox in the Variables inspector. Toggling it is
  one undo step, and absent means not persistent.
- The behavior system loads the saved values at start and writes them
  after every frame that changed one, so a closed tab loses nothing.
- Values live in localStorage per project, not in the project file.
  Another browser or person starts fresh.
- Play and "Run in editor" save apart, so trying a behavior in the
  editor leaves the Play save alone.
- Saved values are read through the current declaration. A removed
  variable drops out, a new one starts from its default, and a changed
  kind is converted.
- "Clear saved values" in the inspector clears this asset in both
  areas. The main menu gets "Clear saved data" for the whole project.
  Clearing takes effect from the next run on.

Decisions:
- The switch covers the whole asset, not single variables. Mixing
  both means two assets.
- A changed default in the inspector shows only after the save is
  cleared. That is what persistent means.

Findings:
- The first e2e run died at "debug hook present" right after a Vulkan
  error from Chrome. The second run passed, so it was a GPU flake at
  start-up.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 140 files, 2070 tests, exit 0 (before 138 / 2055).
- 15 new unit tests in tests/core/saved-values.test.ts and
  tests/editor/saves.test.ts.
- GM_STEPS=32,46 fresh: ALL PASSED, 24 checks. Six new checks in
  module 32 go through the UI. Module 46 knows the new menu entry.
- Counter-checks both fail as expected. Loading switched off: 2 unit
  tests and 2 e2e checks fail. Editor run writing into the Play area:
  1 e2e check fails.
- Check total 1278 (1272 measured by CI at bbbf341, plus 6).

adminandClaude Opus 5 66d6aafbb4 Pixel art can be drawn in its own tab with layers and frames (#130)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m24s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 7m40s
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).

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 3ff7e91dbf Vector art points have four types and the pen draws whole curves (#195)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m10s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 7m29s
The pen only pulled out the outgoing handle of a new point, because
the opposite handle was mirrored only if it already existed. The
first segment of every dragged point was therefore half a curve.
Beyond that bug, a point had no way to say how its handles relate.

- A vector point has an optional mode: straight, corner, smooth or
  symmetric. Missing means corner. The mode is not part of the
  fingerprint, because it changes no pixel, only the next drag.
- Dragging a handle follows the mode. Corner leaves the other handle
  alone, smooth turns it along and keeps its length, symmetric
  mirrors it exactly.
- The pen pulls out both handles mirrored and marks the point
  symmetric. A plain click still sets a point without handles.
- The tab header has a "Point: ..." menu for the last clicked or set
  point. That point is drawn filled. Changing its type is one undo
  step. Text instead of four icons, because the UI kit has no
  tooltips.
- Switching a point without handles to a curved type first grows
  handles along its neighbours. Smooth and symmetric line the
  handles up and keep the rough direction of the curve.
- A point inserted on a curve is smooth. Symmetric neighbours become
  smooth, because the split shortens one of their handles.
- Alt-click still toggles between straight and symmetric.

Found on the way: the old Alt rounding took the point at the other
end of an open line as a neighbour, so its handles came out skewed.
Fixed and held by a unit test.

Existing points with handles now count as corner. Before, every drag
mirrored. No pixel changes, only the next drag behaves differently.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 129 files, 1917 tests, exit 0 (before 1903)
- GM_STEPS=47, freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 39 checks (before 32)
- Check sum 1195 in README and wiki is computed (1188 + 7), CI
  measures it
- Counter-checks: pen without 'symmetric' fails 3 checks, no smooth
  branch fails 1 unit test and 1 e2e check

adminandClaude Opus 5 bdb3f066cf The asset type "vector art" exists as a model, which is stage 1 of #129 and shows nothing in the browser yet on purpose: a vectorart asset is not placeable, sits in the + menu and in the asset panel with its own icon (a curve between two points) and has no tab, so it behaves like a font - selectable, its rows in the inspector, a double click leading nowhere - because the tab is stage 3 and half an asset would only be in the way; the data model in Asset.ts is a shape built from rings (even-odd, so a shape may have holes, answer 6 in the issue), a ring being points with optional bezier handles in/out stored as an offset from the point and a closed flag (an open path is stroke only, answer 4), plus fill colour, opacity and an optional stroke (answer 5) - the two handles are kept apart instead of mirrored, because what "smooth" means is the editor's business and not the model's; canvas width, height and the filter are properties, so they get an inspector row and undo like any other, while the shapes are intrinsic data like the frames of a texture; the revision that #185 hands to the picture path is a fingerprint of what is drawn, not a counter, which is exactly why that key took a string token - no command can forget to bump it - and the name of a shape is deliberately left out of it, renaming changing no pixel; six undo commands in the new vectorArtCommands.ts (add a shape numbered in order, remove one which comes back to its old place - unlike a tilemap layer the last one may go too -, rename, move, write the rings as one step per gesture with the list copied, and set the style where stroke: null takes it away) and the pure function shapeOrderTarget for the four buttons of the planned inspector list (one forward, to front, one back, to back), which also serves dragging in that list; loading from a project file is strict - a point without numbers falls away, a broken handle leaves a corner behind, duplicate shape ids fall away like duplicate layer ids, a stroke of width 0 is no stroke - while a ring with a single point, which is what someone is drawing right now, stays; three findings on the way: JSON.stringify as the fingerprint was wrong because the same drawing came back from a project file as {points, closed} and was built as {closed, points}, so a reload would have rasterized the same picture under a new key (the fingerprint writes its fields in a fixed order now and a test measures that case), toNumber in serialize.ts turns any nonsense into 0 so the Number.isFinite checks ran into nothing and {x: 'far'} became the left edge instead of vanishing (shapes read numbers strictly via asFinite, 0 being a place on the canvas here), and "Vector art" would have been both a menu entry and the panel heading, which an existing test catches because a click by text would hit the heading - the group is called "Vector drawings" now while the menu entry stays "Vector art"; 20 new unit tests in tests/core/vectorart.test.ts and three counter-checks hold: the fingerprint back on JSON.stringify fails 2, reading the numbers loosely again fails 4, and not copying the ring list fails 1; no e2e check and the check sum stays 1157, only module 04 counting 19 asset types instead of 18 (#129)

adminandClaude Opus 5 4f55f85ad4 Collision layers and masks: a collider carries a layer and a mask of the layers it meets, and the pair only meets when both masks name the other's layer - the rule is one pure module (src/core/model/collisionLayers.ts) with layerBit, layersMeet and the names a project starts with, so the three places that have to agree read the same function: the editor run through CollisionSystem, the Solids sweep per pair and Rapier, where the mask becomes the collider's interaction groups; the project file gained collisionLayers: ["Default"] (default one layer, no formatVersion bump), the collider schema two new kinds - layer as a dropdown of the project's layers and layerMask as a menu of tickboxes that stays open while it is ticked (Menu.ts learned rows that do not close on a pick) - and the names are edited through "Collision layers..." in the toolbar's Project menu, not a Project tab, which is the decision I made myself because the question ran into the MCP timeout: the dialog (src/editor/CollisionLayersDialog.ts) holds up to 16 names, Add layer appends "Layer <n>" and Apply writes all of them as one undo step (SetCollisionLayersCommand); a mask read from a file goes through a check that refuses anything that is not a finite number, because Number(null) is 0 and a collidesWith: null would silently have meant "meets nothing"; 9 new e2e checks in module 8 cover the menu entry, the dialog, Add layer, Apply and its undo, both inspector rows, the tickbox menu, and the mover walking straight through the crate that 8c blocked on once their layers no longer meet, and 21 new unit tests cover the rule, the schema and the command (#152)

adminandClaude Opus 5 5ba796a2b6 Plugins belong to the project, and they load before it: the project file gained the field plugins: ["demo-plugin.js"] (default empty, no formatVersion bump), the Plugins tab's switch writes into it as an ordinary undo step (SetPluginActiveCommand) instead of into a server-wide plugins.json, and the start order is turned around - startPlugins only fetches the list of files, then editor.boot() runs and ProjectStore.load(id, prepare) hands the raw JSON through before it is deserialized, where pluginsOf(raw) reads the list and PluginManager.syncTo() activates exactly those; that is the point of the issue, because what a plugin registers has to stand there before normalizeGraph would throw it away as unknown (#126, #127), a project switch first stops what the new project does not name and then starts what it does, a file the server does not have is passed over silently, and after signing out the manager is dead so a late event cannot start anything in a torn-down session; on the server plugins.json, PluginStore::setActive, isActive, the route PUT ?r=plugins/{file} and the 403 for inactive modules are gone and GET ?r=plugins only answers {file,bytes,updatedAt}, which makes every plugin file fetchable - the consequence accepted in #117, written down in the wiki for #115 and #116; publishPlugins(root) only copies files now, the seeder switches the demo plugin on in the fixture project, and the Plugins tab carries a puzzle piece as its icon while only a plugin's own tab still goes without one (the knob and the socket are cubic curves, not arcs, which Pixi's parser draws as a spike after an L); 3 new e2e checks in module 38 and 5 new unit tests cover the project as the owner of the switch, its undo, the order, pluginsOf against crude input and an unknown file name (#119)

adminandClaude Opus 5 193378e6a9 An animation is a timeline of rows over one asset, played on an object rather than worn as a picture (#97)
Part (a) of the animation rework: model, commands, saving, runtime and nodes.

- AnimationAsset holds a root (sprite, text, container or scene) and rows; a row keys one
  property of the root or of an object inside it, keys sit on whole frames.
- The last key decides the length (its frame counts as a frame of its own). The playhead runs
  between frames, so numbers and colors blend every tick even at 10 fps; everything else holds.
- Playback gains `once-reset`, which puts back what was there before the start. A row can be
  relative, adding to where its target stood.
- Play / Pause / Stop animation act on an object; each instance plays on its own, the later
  start wins on a shared property, and a behavior writing the same property still writes last.
- A sprite no longer wears an animation through `texture`. "Create animation from texture"
  builds a sprite plus a texture row keyed frame by frame instead.
- The Animation tab shows a placeholder until the timeline editor (part b) lands.

game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 1m32s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 5m47s
The fill of a sliced frame defaulted to `Stretch`. It is `Repeat` now, and the Fill dropdown lists
`Repeat` first.

The saved document keeps writing only the fill that differs from the default, so the key it
carries is now `stretch`, and a frame without it repeats. A frame saved before with the key
absent and meaning stretch would therefore tile; none of the stored projects has one - both sliced
frames on the server carry `fill: "repeat"` explicitly, so they draw as before.
