Package a Forward+ preset with volumetric fog, SDFGI and a volumetric flashlight
for a separate Linux/Windows Desktop HQ zip. Gate the effects on a real
RenderingDevice, tune LATE fog, and adapt local light falloff for Godot 4.7.
Record the Compatibility/Forward+ A/B captures and metrics, add the artifact to
the build/publish scripts, and keep the default Compatibility/Web path
unchanged. Headless 231/231, Python 87/87; exported HQ binary boots with Vulkan.
Update the game name in project.godot, export presets, UI/marquee/title strings, packaging (AppImage/NSIS/desktop/appdata), tools, docs, and the generated prop GLBs. Packaging assets and README screenshots are regenerated. Headless suite 209/209 and Python tooling tests pass.
Rendering and presentation
- Shared surface-material module (src/game/materials.gd) with per-surface
roughness/metallic/uv profiles; ACES tonemapping, glow, fog and phase-driven sky
energy. WorldBuilder rebuilt on those profiles with facade windows that light up,
door trim/handles, curb, lane dashes, bollards, bench, bin and planter foliage.
- NPC silhouettes: per-role clothing palettes, caps/hoods/backpacks/sunglasses,
hands and shoes, arm/leg walk swing.
- Six generated low-poly GLB props (bollards, bench, bin, planter, newspaper box,
hydrant) built by tools/model_pipeline.py, loaded by WorldBuilder with a
procedural fallback; ADR-0012.
Selection and movement
- Focus ranking by view angle then distance (NpcFocus.rank_indices); Tab and the
mouse wheel cycle nearby people initially, right click clears focus with a
re-acquire grace, HUD shows the candidate count, Shift walks at half speed.
ADR-0011. Windowed smoke extended to cover wheel cycling and clearing.
QA tooling
- screen_designs.py catalogue grown to 19 screens (8 scene, 11 UI) plus a `list`
subcommand; draft generation keeps existing AI references unless --force.
Web export
- New Web preset using the non-threaded Godot template (static hosting, no
COOP/COEP). tools/build_releases.sh exports build/web and packages
build/step-line-web-<ver>.zip; publish_release.sh uploads it with the desktop
artifacts. test_web_export.gd covers the preset and release wiring.
Verification
- Headless suite 177 -> 181, Python tooling 53 tests, all eight smokes pass
(including the windowed focus/wheel smoke). Web bundle serves index.html,
index.wasm (35 MB) and index.pck (30 MB) with HTTP 200 from a static server.
- Version 0.3.0; README, PLAN, RELEASING, TODO/DONE and MEMORY updated.
Follow-up to the publishing fix: CI created the v0.2.11 release and logged each
upload, but the assets never arrived, so the job looked successful while the
release was empty. The host root filesystem is full (7.8G, 100%), and Gitea
answered HTTP 500 "Attachments.Save: no space left on device".
- publish_release.sh now checks the HTTP status of every asset upload and prints the
response body on failure, then verifies the release reports as many assets as were
sent. Empty releases can no longer pass silently.
- Deleted the empty v0.2.11 release so the "latest" release (v0.2.10) still has all
five artifacts; the tag itself remains.
- TODO/MEMORY record the host disk blocker with concrete cleanup commands and note
that v0.2.11 artifacts are built locally in build/ for upload once space exists.
The v0.2.10 tag build still failed to publish: its env dump showed no token at all,
because this Gitea/act runner does not provide `github.token`, and the repo has no
GITEA_TOKEN secret.
publish_release.sh now resolves credentials in order: GITEA_TOKEN,
GITEA_AUTH_HEADER, ~/.git-credentials, then the local git extraheader that
actions/checkout writes for the job. That header carries the runner's basic-auth
credentials for the same server, so tag builds publish with no repo secret.
Verified by adding the extraheader locally and publishing v0.2.10 (all five
artifacts: Linux/Windows/macOS ports, NSIS installer, AppImage), then removing it.
Docs: RELEASING describes the four credential sources and warns that github.token is
not available here; MEMORY records both failed attempts and the final fix; TODO keeps
the "verify on the next tag" follow-up. Version 0.2.11.
Tag builds since v0.2.2 built all artifacts but never published a release:
- tools/publish_release.sh only assembled AUTH in the GITEA_TOKEN branch; the
~/.git-credentials branch set CRED and then used an unbound ${AUTH[@]} under
`set -u`, so every API call failed and the job ended "could not create or find
release". It now sets AUTH=(-u "$CRED").
- The repo has no GITEA_TOKEN secret and the runner has no git credentials, so the
workflow now falls back to the built-in workflow token:
GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITEA_TOKEN || github.token }}.
v0.2.9 was then built and published locally with all five artifacts (portable
Linux/Windows/macOS, NSIS installer, AppImage) and the release page verified via
the API. v0.2.4-v0.2.8 remain unpublished; they are superseded by the latest.
Docs
- docs/RELEASING.md records the incident and the local-publish fallback.
- TODO gains a release-pipeline follow-up (verify CI on the next tag).
- MEMORY notes the root cause, the missing secret, and which releases exist.
- Version 0.2.10.
- Script uploaded only the three portable binaries; v0.2.1 release was
missing step-line-setup-0.2.1.exe and the AppImage. Now uploads the full
set (extras when present), reuses existing releases (adds missing assets),
and falls back to ~/.git-credentials basic auth when GITEA_TOKEN is unset
- Back-filled both missing assets onto the live v0.2.1 release via API
(release now carries all 5 artifacts)
- TODO/RELEASING/MEMORY document the findings and the host admin steps for
anonymous downloads ([service] REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW)
- Install Godot 4.3 export templates locally and fix macOS export
(enable rendering/textures/vram_compression/import_etc2_astc)
- Build Linux/Windows/macOS artifacts into build/ via tools/build_releases.sh;
Linux binary passes headless smoke test
- Add tools/publish_release.sh (creates Gitea release + uploads assets with a token)
- TODO: mark build/install steps done; publishing v0.1.0 + link verification
remain as the single action blocker (needs GITEA_TOKEN)
