adminandClaude Opus 5.5 ffedd81803 Read many pixels from one render in the e2e checks (#283)
On the WSL runner every __gm.pixelAt costs about 7 ms, three times as
much as on stein2. Each call renders the whole stage into a fresh
render texture and stalls until the GPU hands one pixel back. pixelRow
and several checks read hundreds of pixels that way. Module 05 spent
36.8 of its 40 s on these reads, module 04 11.3 of 20 s.

- stagePixels in src/ui/render.ts renders once around all points and
  reads them in one go. Only whole pixels at resolution 1 take that
  path. Anything else stays point by point.
- The hook __gm.pixels(points) exposes it, and pixelRow uses it.
- The loops in e2e 04, 05, 14 and 44 read their grids in one call.
- The old comment in pixelRow said a wider frame comes back resampled.
  That is not true. The colours match exactly, so the comment is gone.

Measured on the RTX (d3d12) and on stein2 (Intel, Vulkan): diff 0 at
10 680 points on each GPU. One screen row takes 4 to 18 ms instead of
2.4 to 9.9 s. The six affected modules need 32 s instead of 139 s
under WSL, faster than on stein2.

The rest of the gap is in Chromium's GPU process. perf puts three
quarters of its time in the drivers (NVIDIA D3D12, Mesa d3d12, dxg).
Four browser and Mesa settings were measured, none helped.

Tests:
- ./check.sh on melektaus-atx: 195 files, 2827 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+4)
- e2e 1-16,30,37,44,58 under WSL: ALL PASSED, 587 checks
- counter-check: a wrong index in stagePixels fails the unit test

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 3abb6894a7 Let a container sort its content with its parent (#243)
A container is not drawn, so it had no place in the draw order. The
chain from its content to the parent of the container broke there, and
a container under a character could not be drawn together with it.

- A container gets the switch Sort with parent under Z. It defaults to
  off, also for new containers, so projects draw as they did.
- With the switch on, the whole content is drawn in the slot of the
  container's parent. The content's own switch does not count there.
- Containers in a row pass the content on as long as each has the
  switch on. On the top level or under a tilemap it has no effect.
- drawSlots follows the new sortsWith field of a draw item. Scene view,
  game and picking all use drawSlots, so all three agree.

Found on the way: a scene object hung directly under a container
spells the container out, and its template content is dropped. That is
the existing spelledOut rule, the tests now keep both cases apart.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 178 files, 2573 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- 7 new unit tests in sort-with-parent.test.ts: the switch, template
  content, override per container, a chain, top level and tilemap,
  game and picking
- e2e 5b-iii: a real click on the switch in the inspector, with undo
- 4 counter-probes over #242 and #243 bite (2 unit, 2 browser)

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 8b44f97c35 Let a child sort with its parent so its Z stays local (#232)
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 3m7s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m51s
An animated or set Z of -1 on a weapon put it behind everything on Z 0,
not just behind the player holding it. A child can now opt in to being
drawn at its parent's place, so its own Z only orders it against the
parent and its siblings.

- New property "Sort with parent" on sprites, texts and particle
  emitters, shown in the inspector right under Z. It is a normal
  property, set on the asset and overridable per object.
- With it on, the rest of the scene sees only the parent's Z and, where
  the layer sorts by Y, the parent's feet. Below 0 the child is drawn
  behind the parent, from 0 on in front.
- It works across levels: a grandchild with the switch hangs on the top
  object of the chain.
- It has no effect under a parent that is not drawn itself (container,
  behavior, camera, collider) or under a tilemap.
- New assets start with it on, saved ones read as off, so old projects
  draw unchanged. For that a schema row now has "initial" next to
  "default". The gold "changed" mark and reset follow "initial", so a
  fresh sprite is not marked as changed. No load migration is needed.
- parentGroups() in drawOrder.ts gives a slot only to the top of a
  chain and inserts the children there. Editor, play mode and picking
  all use it, so they agree.

Tests:
- 10 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-with-parent.test.ts.
- 8 existing tests list the sprite rows or defaults and got the row.
- New e2e check 5b-ii clicks the switch and checks order and undo.
- Counter-checks, all originals restored by cmp: switch ignored fails
  7, children not sorted by Z fails 6, no chain fails 1, "initial"
  ignored fails 9, row missing in the inspector fails e2e 5.
- ./check.sh: 166 files, 2426 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 5: ALL PASSED, 13 checks. Check total 1398, computed only.

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 50bddf68d4 Keep scene view names readable on plates and in rows of their own
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m57s
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 8m37s
Symbol names in the scene view were plain grey text. On a background
of a similar colour they could not be read, and names of symbols close
together were drawn over each other.

- Each name stands on a rounded, nearly black plate at 70 % opacity,
  3 px padding left and right, 1 px top and bottom.
- The text is light (viewportLabel) instead of muted grey.
- The plate of a selected object gets an accent border.
- New rule stackLabels in src/viewport/labelRows.ts. A name that
  overlaps another name or an icon moves one row down, then one up,
  then two down and so on, until a row is free.
- Names are placed top to bottom, so the upper one keeps its row.
  A name only moves vertically and stays on the side of its icon.
- Names outside the view still claim their row. Otherwise the visible
  names would jump while panning.
- New hook __gm.sceneLabels() for the e2e check.

The frame names in the texture editor already had a plate, so they
are unchanged.

Not covered by tests: the accent border on selection. Readability on a
light background was only judged from a screenshot on a dark one.

Tests:
- 5 unit tests in tests/viewport/label-rows.test.ts: free names stay,
  the lower of two colliding names moves, the stacking order, names
  avoid icons, 30 crowded names never overlap.
- e2e 5c-ii: 8 symbols on one spot give 8 plates, no overlap with each
  other or with icons, each name on the side of its icon.
- Counter-checks: without the overlap test in the rule 4 of 5 unit
  tests fail. With the scene view ignoring the rows exactly 5c-ii
  fails.
- ./check.sh: 161 files, 2369 tests, CHECK EXIT 0.
- e2e 1-5: ALL PASSED, 140 checks. The e2e sum is now 1382 (computed).

adminandClaude Opus 5.5 cb32b4bc23 Draw scene symbols as white panel icons that make room for each other
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m54s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m5s
The scene view drew its symbols from its own SVGs, each in a type
colour and some on a plate. They looked heavier than the panel icons
and were hard to read on busy ground. Symbols of different objects
also sat on top of each other whenever their positions met.

- Every symbol is now the panel icon of its kind, one file for both
  places. The scene-only SVGs in src/viewport/icons are gone.
- Symbols are white in a thin dark outline with no plate behind them.
  haloSvg widens each shape of the file by its own stroke and draws
  that silhouette dark under the icon, so no second file is needed.
- A butt stroke end would leave its end without outline. The halo caps
  such strokes square, and the rigidbody arrow shaft is now a filled
  rect so its top edge is outlined exactly.
- Symbols are 18 world units across, stay upright and are clickable.
  A click selects the object, a drag moves it.
- symbolLayout places every symbol on its object's position. Symbols
  that overlap stand on a ring round the middle of their positions,
  evenly spaced one icon apart. A ring that reaches into another
  symbol takes it in until nothing overlaps. Ownership plays no part.
- Names sit beside their symbol, on the outside of a ring. Selection
  frames and parent links follow the symbol.
- A collider icon no longer shows trigger or invalid state. The
  outline colour of the shape still does.
- A lone collider sits on its sprite's middle again. A press there on
  an unselected sprite drags the collider, so e2e 02 and 16 now grab
  the sprite beside its middle. Hook __gm.container.objectRect helps
  16 find that spot.

Tests:
- check.sh: 2245 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (+8 for layout and halo)
- e2e 1-16,31,39-43: 670 PASS, 2 FAIL. Both were sampling too
  strictly for the thinner, smaller icons. 5c looked for the exact
  outline colour, which the thin outline only reaches blended at this
  zoom. 31n started the ring scan one pixel past the smaller ring.
  Both are fixed, and e2e 5,31 then passed with 48 checks.
- 5c checks white with an outline and none of the old colours, 41b
  checks the ring positions and that a click on a symbol selects its
  object, 31n checks the now white particle ring.
- Counter-checks: without the halo only 5c fails, also with the looser
  outline match. Without the layout the ring and click checks in 41b
  fail. Originals restored by cmp.
- The e2e check total stays 1351.

adminandClaude Opus 5 28b1afa7af Panning the scene view no longer redraws the whole scene
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m22s
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 8m38s
A middle-mouse pan used to run the full redraw on every frame. It
collected every object from the project, cleared and redrew every
shape, re-sorted all children and made Pixi re-upload every buffer,
although only the camera had moved. The user saw the frame rate drop
while panning.

- WorldViewport gets moveCamera(). When zoom and view size are
  unchanged it only moves the world and redraws the overlays drawn in
  screen pixels. collectFrame, the shape redraw and the re-sort drop
  out of a pan frame.
- Every full redraw remembers the box each object is culled by. A pan
  that moves an object across the edge of the view still takes the
  full redraw, so objects appear and vanish as before.
- Grid, selection outlines, rays and the container origin mark move
  into a shared drawOnScreen hook. It runs after every full redraw and
  after every pan. The parent links stay in afterItems because they
  are drawn in world units.
- Wheel zoom keeps the full redraw, because line widths follow the
  zoom. A cache for collectFrame was left out: it would save about
  1 ms and risk stale data.
- debugInfo() reports redraws and cameraMoves, and __gm gets a hook
  that forces a full redraw, so a check can compare against it.

Findings:
- Chrome already coalesces mouse moves to one per frame (500 moves
  gave 183 redraws in 189 frames). A throttle was tried and removed
  again, because its counter-check did not fail.
- A check in module 03 compared the whole gameInfo() object and broke
  on the new counters. It now compares camera, objects and rendering.
- The stall without ?vsync most likely comes from the desynchronized
  context in src/main.ts. It cannot be reproduced headless.

Tests:
- Measured on Jump and Run, main-thread time per frame, 3 runs of 240
  moves: pan 5.7-7.4 ms before, 3.8-4.8 ms after. Plain mouse moves
  stay at 2.1-2.4 ms. 208 of 240 moves took the fast path.
- ./check.sh: 141 files, 2080 tests, exit 0.
- GM_STEPS=1-16,29,42,43: 535 checks, 1 failed (the module 03 test
  above). After the fix GM_STEPS=1-5: all passed, 130 checks.
- 3 new e2e checks in 5d: 12 pan steps give 12 camera moves and 0
  full redraws, pixel rows after the pan match a fresh redraw, a box
  panned out of view and back is drawn again.
- Counter-checks: overlays not redrawn on pan gives "3 of 3 rows
  differ". Edge test disabled keeps the box visible with 0 redraws.
- Check total 1285 (1282 confirmed by CI task 229, plus 3).

adminandClaude Opus 5 1c212b1ccc Scene view symbols come from SVG files: the behavior, container, rigidbody, camera and particles icons live in src/viewport/icons/ and are changed by editing the file and running npm run build; they are bundled, parsed once and drawn into a Graphics by the new module symbolIcons.ts, currentColor becomes the theme color of the symbol, the origin sits in the middle with a centered viewBox and the same units as before, so the symbols are pixel for pixel unchanged; what depends on the object (camera frame, collider outline, one-way cone) stays in code; unit tests keep the files to what Pixi's SVG parser and a browser draw alike (no transform, no polygon, fill always given), e2e 5c reads the five symbols in the theme color (#175)

admin 7e5003b590 A test that waits for a deadline somebody guessed is waiting for the wrong thing, so it waits for the editor (#93)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 6m48s
The suite spent 88% of its step time asleep: 564 s of steps, 496 s of
them in sleep(n) - fixed spans estimated by hand and then copied from
step to step. That is why it was slow, and why it flickered.

The signal is afterFrames(count, timeout) in ui/render.ts, exposed as
__gm.afterFrames(). It wakes the loop itself, because an editor that
draws nothing would never redeem a promise of a frame, and it gives up
after a timeout instead of hanging the run. settle() in the harness
waits two drawn frames (~32 ms) instead of 150-300 ms and falls back to
sleep(150) when the hook is missing (an old build): silently not
waiting would make every later check a coin toss.

Every action goes through it now - click, doubleClick, wheel, drag,
dragAsset, press, typeText, select, mutate, undo, redo - and with that
about 550 sleep() calls behind those actions became redundant, helpers
that are nothing but a mutate in a coat included. What a frame cannot
answer got its own condition instead: waitUntil(expr), play()/stop()
waiting on __gm.state.mode rather than on 300 ms, saved() for the
autosave (the two hand-written polling loops sampled at 300 ms for
something that arrives after a second), and showTab() as a real tool -
47 places called evaluate("__gm.showTab(...)") raw, and 24 of them
waited for nothing at all and read the old panel.

564 s -> 243 s of step time, the waiting share 88% -> 76%. Three kinds
of wait were kept, and each one bit when it was taken away: loading
bytes (textures, fonts), game time that a repaint cannot stand in for
(time scale, shader and particle clocks, the live values a running
graph carries), and the inertia the scroll step measures on purpose.

Two things the new speed uncovered, both real: 25-animation read the
frame menu unfiltered and had frozen an incomplete list (the CI failure
on c990dbc), and 33-render-on-change measured idleness while the
autosave of the step before was still painting - it waits for
saveStatus to leave dirty/saving now, so it measures that nothing
happens any more instead of that it waited long enough.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 6471671f7d Refactor round: ship web/index.html, drop the remote browser, fix stale comments and README
- `.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`.

Proof: ./check.sh 797 tests, full e2e ALL PASSED 633 checks against this bundle.

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 d54a620ebd Add ESLint and Prettier, and close the node test gaps
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.
