tools/seed-actor.mjs builds the project Actor demo: it uploads
tools/assets/Actor1.png, slices the 576x384 sheet into the 96 cells of a
12x8 grid (48x48 each, no remainder) and wears the character in the top
left corner. Walking is four ping-pong animations of three frames, which
is the original RPG-Maker walk cycle; standing is the middle frame of the
row, not an animation.
The graph pastes walk- or idle- in front of the direction faced and wears
the result, so eight cases need no branch tree - the List node only holds
numbers. Which way it looks is the key pressed last, corrected whenever
only one axis is still held, or letting go of one key of a diagonal would
walk backwards. Axis input already normalizes its vector.
tools/lib/projects.mjs gains uploadTexture, since data/textures/ is
git-ignored and a seed that ships its picture has to send it. The harness
gains w/a/s/d and keyDown/keyUp halves, because holdKey cannot express two
presses that overlap - which is what a diagonal is.
tools/smoke-actor.mjs plays it in 19 checks and reads the drawn pixels at
the camera edge, where the bounds hold him walking on the spot: three
distinct frames walking, one standing.

A Tetris example project needs to draw 200 board cells and scan rows
for a full line. Neither is expressible without iteration, so the node
system gets a Repeat node plus the missing text side: Substring, Find
text and To number. The interpreter drops its data cache once per
round -- otherwise every round would recompute with the first round's
values.
Object by name takes its name as an input now, not just as a setting;
addressing "c" + index is impossible otherwise. An unconnected input
reads the stored setting, so saved projects are untouched.
The board itself is a 200-character text, "." for empty. That makes
both operations of Tetris a single expression instead of a loop, and
each frame attempts exactly one move -- rotate beats sideways beats
fall -- so the fit check exists once in the whole graph.

A run whose chromium died stopped mid-step and exited with code 0, silently
reporting success for checks it never ran: CDP.send() left its promise pending
when the socket closed, and an unsettled promise does not keep node alive.
Waiting on the server had the mirror problem – a bare fetch keeps its socket
open, so a stalled response hung the run forever.
Every wait can now time out, the socket rejects what it can no longer answer,
and reaching process exit without a summary reports RUN DIED with exit 1.
Chromium's stderr and exit signal are kept, so "killed by SIGKILL" is visible
rather than guessed at.

Tooling:
- Prettier as the single formatting authority (110 columns, single quotes,
measured against the existing style); Markdown excluded because table-cell
padding turns the README glossary into 1000-character lines.
- Type-aware ESLint ending in eslint-config-prettier, so a rule always means
"this is a bug", never "this looks different".
- .editorconfig and an `npm run check` that runs typecheck, lint, format and
tests in one go.
Findings fixed on the first run: three more duplicate imports, four
String(unknown) calls (parameter types narrowed instead of casts), two dead
initialisers, two redundant casts, a console.log for a real error. Two
warnings were false here and are disabled with a reason in place.
Tests 132 -> 269:
- node-catalog.test.ts covers every node with a run(), with a guard that fails
when a new node has no row.
- behavior-events.test.ts covers the ten event nodes through a running World,
checking timing rather than existence.
- Input's state machine (press/release/releaseAll) is reachable without DOM
events now; the DOM handlers are thin adapters.
Compare fell back to == without a configured operator although the schema
default is <; aligned.
