adminandClaude Opus 5.5 e435c54afb Edit a composition's tracks, items and clips in its own tab (#417)
A composition could be placed and played, but not filled. Its tab
puts the picture at the playhead above a timeline of tracks, so a cut
or a cutscene is laid out by dragging assets onto tracks.

- The timeline takes the song tab's geometry with frames for ticks:
  ruler in seconds, scrubbing, play and pause, + Track. Zoom and pan
  glide through viewTween like the other tabs.
- A placeable asset dropped on a track becomes an item, 3 s long or
  as long as its sprite's video. Dropped on an item it lands behind.
- Items move without overlapping. The right edge stops at the next
  item. The left edge trims into a video and not before its start.
- An animation dropped on a track becomes a narrower clip bar above
  the item it plays on. The asset panel now starts a drag for
  animations too.
- The picture is a scene view over compositionHolder. A click picks
  an item or its child, a drag moves the real object. It takes no
  assets, since an object there would have no item.
- The hierarchy lists the items alive at the playhead. Reparenting is
  off there, items stay at the top level.
- The inspector shows a TIMING block on an item (start, length,
  offset for a video, Fit to media) and edits tracks and clips.
- Delete, the context menu and Remove item take item and object in
  one undo step.
- fitMedia: an override that gives an item another video sets its
  length in the same undo step, capped at the next item. Dragging an
  edge or typing a length turns it off.
- A composition inside a composition is refused.

Tests:
- Unit composition-edit (new): 19 tests. Four counter-checks each
  turned their test red. The "back to 3 s" test got a step in
  between after one stayed green.
- e2e 69 (new): 11 checks, 9 own. The hierarchy check reads the rows
  shown, after a counter-check on the model's rows stayed green.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 302 files, 4662 tests.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 8f9c250eb6 Lay patterns and sounds out on tracks and play them as a song #334
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m29s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 16m29s
Patterns could only be heard one at a time, in their own tab or from
a behavior. A song lays patterns and sounds out on tracks along one
time axis and plays them through the scheduler of #332, the third
piece of the music tools of #330.

- New asset type song under the heading Songs, with four empty tracks,
  120 BPM in 4/4 and a grid of a bar. Tempo, meter and grid are rows
  in the inspector. Tracks, items and the loop are the asset's data,
  held to their rules on load and in every command.
- A track has a name, volume, pan, mute and solo. Each is heard on a
  bus of its own, so a change reaches what is sounding at once.
- A pattern item repeats its pattern for as long as it is, with a
  transpose and another instrument if wanted. A sound item plays its
  sound as a clip at its own speed, round and round, through a sound
  FX if wanted. Both have a volume on top of their track's.
- Cut back at the left end or split, an item starts as far into what
  it plays as the cut is: ticks into a pattern, seconds into a sound.
- The tab shows the heads with M, S, volume and pan, the ruler of the
  Pattern tab and the items, a pattern with its notes, a sound with
  its waveform, a missing asset red. Patterns and sounds are dragged
  in from the Assets panel. Body, right and left end move, lengthen
  and cut back, Alt leaves the grid. Ctrl+C/V/D/A, Ctrl+E splits
  where playing starts, Delete, arrows. A double-click opens a
  pattern item in its tab.
- What is picked is a new selection of its own, so the inspector
  shows the item or the track, with a button to delete it.
- The scheduler plans clips beside notes. Where the playhead starts
  or jumps back inside a clip, it is taken up that far into its
  sound. A clip fades out at the end of its item or of the loop.
- The editor plays one piece at a time: a pattern started stops the
  song and the other way round.
- The rules are pure functions in core/music/song, editor/song/
  songView and songEdit.

Findings:
- The suites of 4ea752f and 2a3b90b were red at e2e 54: the Pattern
  pushed Struct below the fold of the + menu. The module now scrolls
  to it, as e2e 47 does for Vector art. It also left the menu open,
  which made e2e 55 fail behind it.
- The Assets panel only dragged assets a scene can place. Patterns
  and sounds are dragged now as well, and a scene says why it does
  not take one instead of calling every asset a scene.

Tests:
- song.test.ts (new, 14) and song-edit.test.ts (new, 9): model,
  round trip, sequence of patterns and clips, mute and solo, cuts,
  clips on the scheduler, moving, sizing, trimming, splitting,
  duplicating, hits, head parts. sound-library.test.ts +5: clip
  offset, end fade, pitched clip, track bus, peaks.
- e2e 65 (new) on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 18 checks. e2e 54 and
  55 with the fix: ALL PASSED, 33 checks. e2e 4 with 30 asset
  types: ALL PASSED, 62 checks.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 250 test files, 3884 tests.
- Counter-checks: no taking up of a clip, no pattern offset, no clip
  end each fail 3, 1 and 1 tests.
- Probe on stein2: the tab with four tracks, before and while
  playing, looked at in two screenshots.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 4ea752feef Draw notes for an instrument in a piano roll and loop them #333
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m22s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 13m18s
Notes could only be played one at a time, by a key or a behavior. A
pattern is a stretch of notes for one instrument, drawn in a piano
roll and played in time through the scheduler of #332. Songs (#334)
will lay patterns out on tracks.

- New asset type pattern under the heading Patterns. Instruments are
  listed under Instruments now, since a heading is one per type.
- Notes are a start and a length in ticks, a note number and a
  velocity, kept to their rules on load and in every command. The
  instrument, the length in bars, the grid, the meter and the tempo
  are rows in the inspector. The loop is the asset's own data, the
  whole pattern while none is set.
- Grids from 1/1 to 1/32 and the triplets 1/4T to 1/32T, all whole
  ticks. The meter only moves the bar lines, the notes stay put.
- The tab shows the keys down the left, a ruler with bars, beats,
  loop and start along the top, the notes between them and a
  velocity lane below. Keys the instrument plays nothing for are
  grey, the names of a drum kit stand on its keys.
- A click draws a note on the grid line before the pointer, as long
  as the last one drawn or lengthened and as hard as the last
  velocity set. The body moves a note, the right end lengthens it,
  Alt leaves the grid. A drag on empty grid picks with a band, Shift
  adds, a right-click deletes.
- Keys: Space plays, Delete, Ctrl+C/V/D/A, the arrows by a semitone
  or a grid step and with Shift by an octave or a bar. A paste lands
  where playing starts. Every gesture is one undo step.
- A click on the ruler sets where playing starts, a drag the loop or
  one of its ends, its menu loops a bar or the whole pattern.
- The wheel scrolls, Shift across, on the ruler or with Alt it zooms.
  Ctrl+wheel stays with the browser, Pixi listens passively.
- Play runs the loop through the scheduler. An edit goes to it on
  the next window without a restart, a new loop or tempo counts from
  what is planned. Another pattern shown or a project opened stops it.
- The time axis and the ruler are their own pieces in editor/music
  for the song tab. The rules of the roll are pure functions in
  rollView and rollEdit.

Findings:
- Music.play could start after a stop that came while it was still
  loading its files. A run counter makes the late start give up.
  Music.edit now loads what a new note needs as well.
- A click on an end of the loop would have set the loop again. A
  press there only moves the end once it is dragged.

Tests:
- pattern.test.ts (new, 9) and piano-roll.test.ts (new, 16): model,
  grids, meter, held notes, sequence, commands, loop, round trip,
  drum names, time lines, rows, hits, bands, lane, edit rules.
- e2e 64 (new) on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 20 checks. e2e 4 with
  29 asset types: ALL PASSED, 62 checks.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 247 test files, 3839 tests.
- Counter-checks: the move without its clamp, the sequence without
  the end of the pattern, the duplicate offset without whole grid
  steps each fail 1 test. Without passing edits to the scheduler the
  e2e check for a note drawn while playing fails, the rest passes.
- Probe on stein2: the tab with a drum kit, before and while playing,
  looked at in two screenshots.

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 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 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 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)

game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m59s
This reverses the design of the previous commit. `PropertyDef.scope` is gone
without replacement: a behavior variable is an object property again, without
exception, and sharing is something you point at rather than something you
declare twice.

A **Variables asset** is declarations and nothing else -- no graph, no position,
never placed, no tab of its own (`TAB_OF_ASSET` is already `Partial<>`, so that
costs no line). A `Variables` node names one through its new `variablesAsset`
setting, empty meaning the behavior's own variables as before, and then reads
and writes one value per key for the whole run. Its property list follows the
chosen source, which was the actual request: a value another graph declared is
now offerable, where before every participant had to declare the name itself.

That deletes more than it adds (-72 lines net): `globalConflicts` and its
run-stopping kind clash, `SetVariableScopeCommand`, the scope picker, both
object-inspector filters and the "shared by the whole run" note on the placed
object. A typo is no longer a silent second variable -- naming an asset is
picking from a list. And two Variables assets may carry the same key without
meeting, because the asset is the key, not the name. The one shape it copies is
the one that already existed: `Set state` picks its machine the same way.

Lifetime is unchanged. The bag is built at `BehaviorSystem.start()` from the
declarations and never written back, so playing in the editor cannot change the
project -- which is the whole reason a counter must not be an object property
(`World.syncToModel` would `commit()` it, and the coin counter would stand at 7
for good).

Full symmetry across that gap, without mirroring anything. Two named wires:
`Inspector.liveVariables` shows the values as they stand while a run is on and
falls back to the declarations when it ends, and `adoptDeclarations()` takes a
key into the run *only where the document changed it since the last sync*.
Without that condition any unrelated project edit would snap a running counter
back to its starting value; a counter-test bends exactly that and falls over.
Nothing was ever cached, incidentally: `GraphInterpreter` only pulse-caches
nodes without a `read`, and the variable node has one. The wire was missing.

The state machine `Scope` row is now an ordinary `enum` row through
`createFieldRow`. It was hand-built from an `HStack` with a ghost dropdown and
began ~34px left of every value above it; the explanations beside `Local` and
`Global` are gone from the menu, the sentence below the row keeps saying it.
Machine scope is otherwise untouched -- `StateMachineAsset.scope`,
`SetMachineScopeCommand`, `stateBag()` and its persistence all stand, so #59
stays closed as built and `Scope` as a type now carries machines alone.

Six counter-proofs, each biting at its own guard. One of them did not bite at
first: the suggestion list was computed twice, in `nodeSection` and
`portSection`, so only the browser test covered the request itself. It is one
named function now, `variableChoices`, with a unit test of its own.

rootandClaude Opus 5 d1fcfe8b81 A shared value belongs to the run, so a declaration carries its scope (#91)
A variable or a state machine declared `global` keeps one value for the whole
run instead of one per behavior instance. The scope sits on the declaration --
`PropertyDef.scope` and `StateMachineAsset.scope`, both optional, absence
meaning `local` -- and `local` is never written, so every project made before
this saves back unchanged.

**The name is the key.** Two behaviors declaring a global `score` mean one
variable; a behavior declaring `score` locally keeps its own. Kinds that
disagree about one global name stop the run before it starts, with the two
behaviors named; starting values that disagree are a warning on the behavior
that declares it, and the first declaration wins (`globalConflicts`).

The runtime needs no redirection layer. A global variable falls out of
`schemaForObject`, so it never reaches `entity.props` -- and then the whole rule
is "whoever declares the name takes their own value" (`graph/sharedState.ts`).
The `Variables` node is untouched and stays transparent: switching a variable to
global breaks no existing graph, because `GraphInterpreter.readAll` builds a
fresh object per read anyway and only asks `port.key in all`.

That same cut answers the inspector. A shared value has no owner, so the placed
object shows no row for it and can hold no override -- `SetVariableScopeCommand`
takes the deviations that were there and undo gives them back.

Both places say it in words rather than leaving a glyph to be guessed: the
declaration explains the mark below the list, and the placed object names the
variable it no longer holds instead of claiming the behavior declares none --
which is what it said before, untruthfully. Screenshots of the e2e run turned
that up; no check had been looking at it.

`SharedState` hangs off `NodeContext`, is built in `BehaviorSystem.start()` from
the *declarations* rather than from any instance (a global variable exists
before its behavior is placed), and is thrown away with the run: nothing is
written back, not even in the editor run. `GraphInterpreter.call` passes it on
through `...ctx` while nested calls keep getting fresh local variables, which is
why `program.defaults` is stripped of global keys.

Two traps this hit. `defSignature`/`assetSignature` have to carry the scope or
the inspector does not rebuild after the switch -- and a state machine has no
rows at all, so its scope is appended to the signature by hand. And the object
inspector does not go through `schemaForObject` for behaviors, it reads
`asset.variables` directly; filtering in one place was not enough, and no unit
test covered that path. The e2e caught it (`global: true` where false belonged),
and the rule now lives in one named function, `objectRows`.

Scopes `object` and `scene` are deliberately not built. The object case already
has a route (`Object by name` -> `Properties`), and a run knows exactly one
scene, so `scene` would be indistinguishable from `global` until #39 exists.

Closes #59: a machine's scope is a word on the machine asset, not a setting per
`Set state` node, so the same machine cannot live in two places at once.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 42cafa7543 Shader assets: graph-built shaders, the Shader tab and sprite rows from the graph (#62)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 3m59s
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.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 e7d82bd1a9 State machines: asset, tab, State branch and Set state nodes (#51)
A state machine is an asset whose graph holds one `State` node per state
(no ports, name as title), edited in a new "State machine" tab that reuses
the graph canvas: right-click places "State n", snap toggle shared with the
Behavior tab via SnapToggle. `statemachine` is a value kind like texture
(port, literal node, variable, struct field, tagged list item).

Behaviors use it through `State branch` (one exec output per state) and
`Set state` (one exec input per state; the interpreter now hands `run` the
entry port). States live per behavior instance in NodeContext.states, with
no initial state. Ports derive from the inline picker or a wired
`State machine` literal; BehaviorLookup became GraphLookup with
behavior(id) and machine(id).

The Graph tab is labelled "Behavior" (key unchanged). Unit tests
(state-machine, kinds, catalog, ports), e2e step 26 and README added.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 ce42d16657 Refactor round 2: fold duplicated command and inspector code
- applyCommands sit on ObjectEditCommand with a revert hook instead of
  five copies of the same preamble and undo
- actionIf replaces six identical Reset/Apply menu blocks, addNameField
  the three name rows, assetLink the two asset links
- requireStructuralObject replaces ten two-line preambles and drops the
  duplicate holder lookup
- __gm.objectsOf had no caller; the SMB remnant in e2e.sh is gone

Proven: check.sh 797 tests, full e2e 633 checks, smokes 24/19/20 against
the same bundle.

rootandClaude Opus 5 495756b500 Remove exports and methods nothing uses any more
A reference search over every export and method in src/ found code that
only tests still called, or that was never called at all:

- RemoveSceneObjectCommand: the product only removes through the
  multi-object command; the tests now use that one too.
- NodeRegistry.requireNodeDef: a second function of the same name in
  commands/require.ts raises a CommandError instead of throwing, and is
  the one the product uses. The twin invited the wrong import.
- isTextureAsset, listContainers, AssetTabEditor.show,
  FocusManager.destroy, KeyboardBridge.selectAll and the getters
  ColorField.value, ListView.selected, NumberField.number.

Also: Theme.controlActive now matches the resting control colour, and a
new note asks what editing the graph during play would take.

rootandClaude Opus 5 8f92a06c84 Consolidate duplicated editor code, trim comments, refresh README
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, ...).

rootandClaude Opus 5 a2f2f8465c Take the cross-cutting queries out of the model's base module
findPropertyUsages walks override sites, so Project.ts imported instance.ts
while instance.ts imported Project.ts – the repo's only value-level import
cycle. The queries now sit in usages.ts and Project.ts is a base type module
again. requireScene has had no caller since holderId replaced sceneId.

rootandClaude Opus 5 ead649eec3 Resolve container content from the template instead of copying it
A scene now stores only the container object; its content is resolved from
the template on every read, with deviations kept as sparse instanceEdits on
the container object. This drops the propagation bookkeeping entirely --
templateSync.ts is gone and the three structural gaps (add, remove, reparent)
cannot diverge any more.

Values stay editable on an instance, structure does not; Unpack writes the
content into the scene, keeping ids. Play mode bakes containers into the
throwaway copy before entities are built. No migration: formatVersion is 2
and the seeders write the new format.

rootandClaude Opus 5 9d93020bd8 Add a Container tab and propagate template edits
The Container tab reuses SceneViewport against any object holder, so a
container template is edited exactly like a scene. Right-click no longer
changes the selection, which previously made nesting impossible: opening
the menu on a container loaded it, and "Place in container" then targeted
itself.

Template edits (move, rename, override) now reach already-placed instances
per slot, through a shared templateSync used by both the apply path and the
plain object commands. Copies the user has touched keep their own value.

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

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

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