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.
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 v0.2.4-v0.2.8 remain unpublished; they are superseded by the latest.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.
Session shell
- Startup venue menu (src/game/ui/start_menu.gd): keyboard + mouse, replaces
the live-shift boot and V as the player-facing venue path (V stays a debug bind).
- Pause overlay on Esc (src/game/ui/pause_overlay.gd): resume, restart shift,
settings, quit to menu.
- Settings panel (src/game/ui/settings_panel.gd): mouse look sensitivity and
HUD font scale, persisted via Save into user://settings.json and loaded on boot.
- Shift review "Run another shift" now returns to the venue menu.
- New smoke: src/test/smoke_session_shell.gd (menu -> shift -> pause -> settings
-> menu), passes headless and windowed.
World and presentation
- Skyline backdrop restored with a transparent asset and an alpha-scissor
unshaded material; fixes the opaque black slab from the earlier attempt and
the unimported texture path.
- Steps and landing are a StaticBody3D with per-tread colliders, so the guard
and NPCs walk up instead of clipping through.
- Marquee Label3D scaled up (72 -> 160) so STEP LINE reads from the sidewalk.
- Focus torus and name tag enlarged for 2-3 m readability.
- Routine traffic despawns after an idle lifetime (NpcAvatar.ephemeral), so the
16-NPC cap no longer fills with standers; authored events stay for the shift.
Docs and tests
- PLAN.md test/CI section corrected to the custom headless runner and Gitea Actions.
- README controls table, smoke checklist, test count, and status lists refreshed.
- TODO/DONE/MEMORY updated; completed sections moved to DONE.md.
- Headless suite 77 -> 88 passing (settings round-trip, step colliders, skyline
alpha, session-shell UI behavior, traffic lifetime).
- 0007: input layers so WASD/look never fire person-verbs; freeze while modal
- 0008: cone focus + billboarded head ring; no type names in the world
- 0009: doughnut action menu (LMB/Space open, click or A/D then Space, Esc/RMB
cancel); emergency stays on R
- 0010: keep procedural rigs, add face/hair/neck; no Mixamo this pass
Linked from architecture.md, PLAN.md, TODO.md, MEMORY.md.
Document the next playable pass: WASD/look stop fighting action keys, cone
focus with a billboarded head ring, doughnut HUD opened by LMB or Space
(click or A/D then Space to confirm, Esc/RMB cancel). Emergency stays on R.
Wand leaves W. NPC rigs stay procedural but get a face/hair/neck. Host
REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW follow-up deferred.
- Delete Rules.Tone/TONE_NAMES, NpcProfile.tone_modifiers, tone params on
NPCController.roll_reaction/apply_player_action; dialogue_lines flattened
to Array[String]; HUD tone label, T binding, and hud.tone_prefix removed
- Docs updated everywhere (PLAN, README, DONE, MEMORY); PLAN section heading
'Tone and Design Direction' -> 'Design Direction'
- Add .gitea/workflows/build.yml: checks job (import+tests) on push/PR; full
build job (export templates, Linux/Windows/macOS exports, artifact upload,
and tag-based Gitea release publish via GITEA_TOKEN) on tags/dispatch
- Remove old .github/workflows/ci.yml to avoid double runs
- Add venue cycling (V) across all three scenarios with hud.venue_switched
- Refresh README screenshots to match the new HUD
- 53/53 tests pass, boot smoke clean
