A shader is an asset carrying a node graph (Texture color, Output, Property,
Color, Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide, Mix, Luminance) that compiles to the GLSL
fragment of a Pixi filter. The Shader tab reuses the Behavior canvas; a sprite
wears a shader through its Shader picker, and the rows below it are the
graph's Property nodes. Property schema, resolution and deviation take the
project because a sprite's rows now live in another asset. The built-in
registry of the prototype is gone; "Adjust colors" ships as a graph in the
fixture and the three example games.

A log layer (src/editor/console/log.ts) keeps a 500-line ring buffer and
wraps console.log/info/debug/warn/error, still calling the original. Notices
and behaviour runtime errors go straight to the layer instead of through
console, so editor tests stay quiet and errors can render red. world.log is
untouched: it is per-run structured state that runtime tests and e2e read
directly, not a text stream.
The panel sits under the visible tab, resizable with Splitter('y'), with a
CONSOLE header and a clear button. Each line carries its wall-clock time in
its own dimmed column, so locate() still finds the message text.
The taller centre area drops the graph fit zoom to 0.60, which broke six e2e
checks that assumed one screen pixel is one graph unit and that a fixed
offset from the canvas centre is empty. They now ask __gm.emptySpot(),
__gm.graph.emptySpot() and __gm.graph.zoom() instead of guessing.
locate/locateAll added the unscaled Pixi text width to the global position,
so click points in the scaled graph canvas landed too far right; they use
getBounds() now.

- `.gitignore` said `index.html` unanchored, which also caught the Vite source page;
a fresh clone could neither `dev` nor `build`. Anchored to `/index.html`, page added.
- Removed GM_REMOTE (tools/remote/gm-browser.ps1 and the ssh/scp branch in browser.mjs):
the Windows test machine is gone and the only flaky check that lived on it is closed (#37).
- Removed `npm run preview`, undocumented and unused.
- Comments: wrong number in collider.test.ts (250 → 200), the "declarations used to…"
history in listItems.ts and friends, the 24 px/28 contradiction, section banners in
nodes/index.ts, node-catalog.test.ts and api/index.php, name paraphrases, and the stale
step numbers in tools/e2e/11-…23- from the old global count.
- README: asset types include `animation`, kind order Number/Text/Boolean, tagged colour
and texture items, 6/5 kinds, the `Texture` node, `./build.sh`, PROJECT_FORMAT_VERSION,
and the file tree (kinds.ts, listItems.ts, propertyPorts.ts, Breadcrumb.ts, beads.ts,
tools/assets/).
- tests/helpers.ts takes the duplicated `findObject` and `sceneWithCamera`.

A kind like colour or texture used to be spelled out in five parallel
lists, its port type, its empty value, its glyph, its label and its list
tag - 22 literal places for texture alone. core/properties/kinds.ts now
holds one row per kind and the rest is derived from it, so adding a kind
is one row. The five literal nodes collapse into literals.ts, the six
kind menus into one helper.
Number, Text, Boolean is now the one order everywhere; the variable and
port menus used to list Boolean before Text.

- `Texture` and `Color` can be picked as a variable kind, a struct field
kind and a declared port kind; a new `Texture` node hands a picture id
into the graph. Declared, a texture is its bare id – the `$texture` tag
stays a list-only thing.
- The `String` node is labelled "Text" like its kind; the type id stays.
- Whole-number inputs (`Item at`, `Set item`, `Sub list`, `Fill`,
`Repeat`, `Substring`, `To text`) show no decimals (`int()` in shared.ts).
- All server projects are reseeded, so `legacyNodes.ts`,
`migrateDeclaredLists` and the `ownerId` fallback go, with their tests.
- Note `reseed-because-of-list` moved to done/; new note `refactor-types`.

A list no longer says what its items are. ListDef.items, ListDef.fields,
ListFieldDef.items and SetListItemsCommand are gone; the single seam is
src/core/properties/listItems.ts. JSON already tells number, text, boolean
and struct apart, so only two kinds need a tag: {"$color": n} and the new
{"$texture": id}. Field names cannot start with "$", so a tag never
collides with a struct field. On a data link a texture item arrives as
its bare id; the graph has no images.
List tab: the mark in front of each row is the kind picker, "+ Item"
asks for the kind, both are ordinary value edits (one undo step). A list
inside a struct field only offers the flat kinds because the depth rule
forbids a struct item there (ListAccess.kinds); the menu used to offer
it and silently do nothing.
Legacy lists that declared items: 'color' are tagged on load.
Actor demo: the four walk animations and four standing frames live in
two list variables of texture items indexed by facing (Item at), so the
graph can be rebuilt in the editor. The stand frames get their grid ids
back; 44 nodes instead of 46.
Also: the user's edits to on-start-during-play.md and the new note
reseed-because-of-list.md.

An animation asset is a list of pictures (whole textures or frames) with
frames per second and Loop/Once/Ping-pong playback. A sprite wears it
through its texture property, so the picker, instance overrides and the
Properties node work unchanged; there is no dedicated play node.
A different animation starts from its first frame, the same one set again
runs on, so a graph may choose Run or Idle every frame. The clock lives on
the entity, not in props, which the world writes back as overrides. The
AnimationSystem ticks before behaviors, and On animation finished fires
once when a Once animation reaches its end.
The Animation tab plays a preview above a frame strip: reorder by dragging,
Delete, duplicate, + Frames, pause/resume, and wheel zoom about the pointer
with pan and Fit. Scene and Container tabs show the first frame; edit mode
has no clock. Right-clicking a texture creates an animation from its frames.
Button now measures its label with the bold font it draws in, which cut
the Animation tab and red dialog buttons short.

The graph was only locked by five edit-mode guards in GraphCanvas. The
running game reads the graph by reference each frame, so a new node, edge,
changed value, disconnect or undo takes effect from the next frame. Stop
discards these edits like everything else changed in play. A new On start
node does not fire for a behavior that has already started.
During play every data output shows the value it last produced, in the
highlight colour and refreshed ten times a second. Values are kept per
graph, because node ids are only unique within one; with several
instances the most recent value wins. The Variables node reads the live
variable bag, so only its own outputs are kept, as a snapshot.
Each time an exec edge fires, a bead runs along it in 0.3 s, at most one
every 0.15 s per edge, following the same curve the edge is drawn with.
Beads run on game time and freeze while paused; the game logic is
unchanged.

Get properties / Set properties work like their variable counterparts:
one port per chosen property, an unconnected input writes its inline
value. A port chosen from the built-in list keeps that property's field
and default (height starts at 100, color is a colour field). "object" is
reserved for the fixed input, checked by the command and on load.
The property picker names the owning type ("Sprite width"), and text
fields can now carry a suggestion list; Get/Set property use it.
Double-clicking a call node shows the path of opened behaviors under the
graph header. Clicking an entry jumps back and trims the path; choosing
a behavior any other way hides it. Reopening a behavior already on the
path steps back to it instead of repeating it. The bar shows before the
graph switches, otherwise it clips the graph that was just fitted.
The "Add node..." header button is gone; nodes come from the context menu.

Split GraphCanvas (1076 -> 831 lines) into EdgeLayer and graphMenus;
the port and marker menus were the same list and are now one function.
Value specs of the inspector and the list tab share valueSpecs.ts, and
the remaining copies (compound commands, type glyphs, typed asset
lookup, name rule, play/editor world setup, marquee) are merged.
Four copies had already drifted apart; merging them fixes:
- "Disconnect N links" in the port menu is one undo step, not N
- "+ Add collider" is hidden on a placed container instance, as in
the hierarchy menu, instead of always failing
- a bool property coerced from the text "false" becomes false
- a port command on an unknown node type reports instead of crashing
Comment-only edits leave the bundle byte-identical. README corrected in
35 places (step limit, jump-run clock, suite duration, 409 body, ...).

buildStructBlock only covered structs, so a placed instance drew numbers,
text, bools and lists through createFieldRow on a 64 px name column while
its struct block sat on the asset's grid below it. variableRows.ts now
builds the row for every variable kind on both sides; the edit option
decides what the owner may change (asset: rename, x, item kind; instance:
revert and push). Label and Button take a fixed width so the mark column
no longer shifts names when a list shows its item-kind picker.
The two structFields calls that became dead with 9f48257 are gone. The
e2e steps locate the Enabled toggle through __gm.inspectorField instead
of clicking a fixed offset from its label.

The instance inspector drew its own, flatter version of a struct: one row per
field, no bundle head. It now draws the same block as the asset side, because
there is only one implementation left - both call buildStructBlock. What the
instance does not get is everything that touches the shape: renaming a field,
'+ Field', and the per-field '×'. The shape belongs to the asset; a placed
object overrides values. The revert and override marks sit on the head rather
than on a field, since an override covers the whole bundle at once.
Underneath this, editing a single field of an unoverridden struct used to blank
its siblings: structFieldsOf filled the untouched fields from spec.read, which
is object.overrides[key] and therefore undefined until something is overridden.
structOf then handed back the empty shape. PreviewedValue carries 'current' now
- the resolved value the row actually shows - and the fields come from that.
Without it the old path stays, which is right for the asset side, whose prop
bag is dense.
Ein Toggle in der Graph-Kopfzeile lässt gezogene Nodes auf dem 24er-Raster
einrasten – derselben Größe, die den Hintergrund zeichnet. Einschalten bewegt
nichts; die Regel greift erst beim nächsten Zug. Bei Mehrfachauswahl richtet
sich jeder Node für sich aus, statt einem gemeinsamen Versatz zu folgen, der
die alten krummen Abstände mitschleppen würde.
Die Entscheidung liegt als reine Funktion in framing.ts, wo die übrige
Graph-Geometrie schon wohnt, und ist dort wie im Browser gepinnt.
An unconnected list input is a button into the List tab instead of a number
field; a struct field can hold a list, so ListSlot carries an optional field
name and the three owner cases only say what sits at a key; and a list
variable picks its item kind in the inspector (marker doubles as the chooser),
so a list of structs no longer has to be born from a project file.
The declaration keeps the storable shapes finite: a struct field may be a list,
but that list holds primitives only, so list->struct->primitive and
struct->list->primitive are the two deepest forms.

A list property in the inspector was a single text field holding a comma
separated line -- unreadable past a handful of items, and it could not
carry anything but text. It becomes a button ("3 items") that opens a
sixth centre tab, where every item is a row built by the very widget the
inspector would build for that item kind.
The renderer was free: a PropertyDef of kind 'list' already carries
`items`, so item i becomes a synthetic def of that kind -- number, text,
boolean and colour rows appear without a new branch.
The way into the tab goes through the state (EditorState.listSlot,
openList(), event 'list'), like every other tab switch here; a tab may
not call showTab itself. ListSlot lives next to Selection rather than in
the tab folder, or state.ts would have to import upwards.
A row's handlers must not close over a snapshot of the list: they outlive
a commit, since the tab only rebuilds when the length changes, and the
second edited row would otherwise revive the value the first replaced.
showTab switched five `visible` lines by hand, where a sixth tab is
silently forgotten; it is a Record<CentreTab, Widget> now.

src/viewport/ held three classes only src/editor/ ever used, and framing.ts sat
under graph/ although the scene view wants the same bounds sum. The graph, the
texture and the container tab repeated the same header, subscription and
disposal code with two silent divergences: the graph tab said "nothing shown"
with null instead of '', and the texture tab refell back to the first asset on
a selection change but not on a project event.
These arrive together because GraphCanvas ties them: it reads framing from its
new home, hands its fold marks to folding.ts, and its '' change is what
GraphEditor must agree with.

Pause is a sub-state of play, not a third mode: the toolbar button and
Ctrl+Enter stop ticking the world, the clock included. A held frame still
drops the input edges, so resuming does not fire a pause worth of keys in
one go.
The editor run missed the case it is most wanted for. hasEditorRun only
looked at the stored scene objects, so a behavior inside a placed
container never started one; the world now builds from resolveObjects and
writes back through objectRef, keeping the move as an instance edit
instead of baking the instance out.
Keys and clicks go to the run while the Game tab is on screen, where no
key means anything to the editor, and are handed back on leaving it -
held keys released, so nothing keeps walking unpressed.
A behavior object carries a "Run in editor" switch next to Enabled. When
it is on, the behavior ticks outside of Play and works on the saved model
directly - Unity semantics: what it moves is a real change, autosaved and
not undoable.
Input stays with the editor, so On key never fires while typing. The
editor run never bakes placed containers into the model, since that would
silently drop their instanceEdits.
syncToModel reports whether it wrote anything, and the dirty flag is only
raised on change - otherwise a behavior moving something every frame
would trigger ~60 saves a second.
"+ → Texture" opened the machine's file dialog, so a picture that was uploaded once
but lost its asset – an undone import, a deleted asset – was unreachable from the
editor while still sitting on the server. Nothing collects those files, by design.
It now opens a grid of every picture the server holds, with thumbnails: pick one and
"Use image" makes a texture asset on that file, "Upload…" is the way in for bytes the
server does not have yet and lands in the same import as a drop. A tile captioned with
an asset name is one this project already wears – picking it selects that asset instead
of making a second one, since two assets on one file would fight over `filter`.
- `GET ?r=textures` now reports `width`/`height`; a texture asset holds the pixel size,
and reading it off the GPU texture would tie the asset's correctness to load timing.
- `TextureLibrary.load(file)` loads without touching `scaleMode` – a thumbnail must not
restage the filter of a picture the scene is drawing with.
- The grid geometry lives in `texture/imageGrid.ts` as pure functions; inside the widget
no test could reach it.
- The part after an upload is now one function shared by the drop import and the picker,
so "one file = one asset" is stated in a single place.
12 new E2E checks; the strongest one undoes an import, leaving the file on the server
with no asset naming it, and picks exactly that file back out of the dialog.
Three things the graph view did differently from the scene view, or not
at all:
Panning moves to the middle button, which works from anywhere – a node
under the pointer included, since NodeView now lets that one button
bubble up. Shift-drag on empty canvas pans too. The left button pulls a
rubber band instead and no longer pans.
Nodes can be selected several at a time: by band, by ctrl/shift-click,
moved together, deleted together, each as one undo step. The selection
model gains `nodeIds` alongside the objects' `objectIds`.
Fit really fits. It used to pin the zoom at 1 and merely centre, so a
graph larger than the view always left nodes hanging out, and it sized
every node with one guessed height although real ones vary with their
port count. Both sums now live in editor/graph/framing.ts as pure
functions, which is what made the defect testable at all.
The band selects any node it overlaps rather than one whose position it
contains, unlike the scene view: nodes are large rectangles, and a band
drawn visibly across one has to catch it.
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.

A new Texture tab next to Scene/Game/Graph shows a texture sheet and lets
frames be drawn on it: drag to create, move, resize via eight handles, edit
name and rect in the inspector, Delete to remove. Every change is a command,
so one gesture is one undo step. "Slice..." cuts a grid from columns and rows
with optional offset and spacing, previewing the resulting frame count and
cell size live.
Sprites pick a frame instead of the whole texture through the same `texture`
property: it now holds either a texture id or a frame id. Frame ids come from
the same generator and are document-wide unique, so one picker, one property
and one set of instance overrides cover both cases, and every sprite written
before this still means the same thing.
A Graphics fill ignores a Pixi sub-texture's frame and draws the whole image,
because it derives its uvs from the shape bounds and the inverted style
matrix. The cutout is therefore a matrix (`viewport/textureFill.ts`), which
keeps a sheet at a single GPU upload no matter how many of its frames are on
screen at once.

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.
