zwitschi fac9b002c3 Fix normal radio report submission
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 38s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Failing after 4m22s
The radio button was connected only to the emergency hold handlers, so a
normal Send request never reached _submit. Connect pressed for non-emergency
calls while keeping hold-to-confirm exclusive to emergencies, and add tests
for click, short-hold rejection and full emergency hold. Headless 249/249,
Python 94/94.

Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 40s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 4m57s
Add the alley walls, warm lantern, shutters, dumpster, AC clutter and door
step for the Joke Shop. Build the studio stone facade, bulb canopy, glossy
black car, stanchions and barriers. Rebuild only the world container when the
venue changes, so the guard and UI survive; add per-venue navigation checks.

zwitschi 1b319c48b7 Guard gear fit with headless and Blender regression checks
The Python fit test now caps the glasses at 0.70x head width and requires a
positive bag clearance on both the coat and dress. The Godot character suite
loads head/back gear on six roles and checks attach parents, head width and
brow bounds, and that back gear reaches beyond the 0.26 m body silhouette.
Rebuilt and re-baked all 18 gear assets; no-op GLB export churn was reverted.

Move the hinges to +/-0.075 (0.035 box), arms to +/-0.098, and lenses to a
0.024 m radius while keeping the lens plane in front of the eyes. Rebuild the
GLB and AO; fit now measures 0.202 m total width (0.64x head). capture_realism

zwitschi 1ee32215b0 Detail the NPC avatars and finish the realism follow-ups
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 38s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Skipped
Blender library
- Rebuild the face: sclera, iris and upper lid per eye, brow ridge, cheekbones,
  nose bridge and tip, ears with lobes, split upper/lower lips.
- Give each hand four fingers plus a thumb and end every sleeve in a cuff ring.
- Raise CHAR_MAX_VERTS 4000 -> 5000 (16 avatars still cost ~6.9 ms of a 50 ms
  frame), decimate the body to 26 %; characters are now 3,974-5,026 tris and
  3,744-4,807 verts. Rebuild all 8 variants and re-bake their AO maps.

Capture tooling
- Add a `portrait` stage to capture_realism.gd: freeze one NPC, park the crowd
  out of frame, stand the subject on open sidewalk, turn it into the camera and
  put the guard on the sunlit side. New --portrait-type=N picks the role.
- Add the npc_portrait_day concept and map the shot to it, so avatar detail is
  scored against a portrait instead of a wide street frame.

Flashlight
- Drop the fake additive beam (Materials.light_beam + the cone mesh): on GL
  Compatibility a first-person camera inside the cone renders it as a filled
  disc with a bright far ring. Keep the tight spot (14 deg, 20 m, energy 4.2)
  and its headless test; the visible shaft is now planned behind a Forward+
  preset.

Docs and task tracking
- Move the finished realism follow-ups (ground exposure, flashlight, NPC detail,
  judge re-check) to DONE.md and expand TODO.md with step-by-step plans for NPC
  gear fit, venue geometry plus the committed gallery, and the Forward+ preset.
- Record the decisions, gotchas and portrait recipe in MEMORY.md; update the
  Blender contract, the concept README and the capture section of README.md.
- Refresh the gallery captures affected by the avatar rebuild.

Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 29s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m43s
Phase 4 of the v0.6.0 graphics plan:

- tools/bake_ao.py bakes 256² AO maps for every Blender character/gear/prop
  (Cycles, existing UVs) next to each GLB; Materials.apply_ao() wires the red
  channel into character slots, gear, and props. Compatibility has no SSAO.
- Regenerated brick/concrete/asphalt at 1024² with OpenRouter, derived tangent
  normal maps via tools/make_normal_maps.py, and wired them through
  SurfaceMaterials.textured() without changing UV scales.
- Evaluated Forward+: boots on desktop Vulkan, but the renderer is project-wide
  and Web must stay GL Compatibility; v0.6.0 keeps Compatibility (decision in
  MEMORY/plan). A desktop-only override is deferred.
- Recaptured screenshots; compare 11 good / 0 bad. Fixed marquee text alignment.
- Tests: baked AO maps exist for all 46 assets; prop/character AO material

NpcAvatar
- select one of 8 library character variants by role/seed (with npc_base and the
  procedural rig as fallbacks), keep Rig/Head and the existing bone animation
- tint only skin/cloth/pants/accessory/hair; fixed detail materials keep their
  colour, npc_vest keeps its hi-vis vest, firefighter/guard use dark uniform tints
- attach caps, hoods, helmets, backpacks, SCBA tanks, lanyards and hand items at
  the documented head/back/chest/hand points (primitive fallbacks retained)

WorldBuilder
- prefer assets/models/blender/props/ for the six replacements and the new
  street dressing (street lamp/tree, palms, planters, A-frame, cone, barrier,
  stanchion, podium, handrail, wall lantern, double door, marquee, sedan)
- fit the same colliders/navigation obstacles and keep the placement validator;
  collect library emissives (bulbs, marquee face, wall lanterns, door LED, sedan
  lights) for set_night_mode()
- add a library triangle counter + 60k budget check (current ~27,986); toggle
  prop gallery to the library models; fix the marquee label placement

Tests/smoke
- character selection/gear attach/fixed-material tint tests; library prop load,
  emissive and triangle-budget tests; smoke_props routes a guest around a
  stanchion in open sidewalk (the old bench route is now crowded by trees)

zwitschi a231f7588a Load and animate the Blender-authored NPC base mesh
Wire the skinned model from ADR-0013 into NpcAvatar:

- _build_skinned_body() instantiates the imported npc_base.glb, binds the 14
  armature bones, and keeps the procedural _build_body() as the offline
  fallback (use_skinned_model can force it in tests)
- outfit_for()/layer_for() tint the five material slots through the new
  SurfaceMaterials.npc_slot(); accessories and hand items attach under Rig/Head
- the existing limb pivots (Hip/Knee/Shoulder/Elbow/Hand + Head marker) keep the
  old animation math; _sync_skeleton() copies their rotations to bones. Bone
  pose rotation is absolute local orientation, so it is composed with the rest
  basis (otherwise the whole body snaps into a broken pose)
- skinned rigs scale uniformly (non-uniform parent scale shears the skin) and
  keep Rig/Head for the focus cone, nametag, and reaction tag
- commit the editable npc_base.blend plus a .gdignore: Godot's editor otherwise
  tries to import the blend and hangs during --import

NPC characters
- Articulated rig (hips/knees, shoulders/elbows/hands) replaces rigid capsules;
  the walk cycle bends knees and elbows and flees with a longer stride.
- Layered outfits (jacket/vest/coat/dress), extended accessories and hand items
  (bag, umbrella, phone, camera, clipboard, cup), face details and five hair
  silhouettes, all deterministic per profile seed.
- Idle behaviour layers (phone, clipboard, crossed arms, look-around), breathing
  and weight shift; escalation raises hands or points, and noticed NPCs turn
  toward the guard.
- Reaction symbols above the head (!!, ?!, !, ?), door-queue offsets assigned by
  GameManager, three LOD tiers with hysteresis and a billboard impostor.
- smoke_npc_budget.gd: 16 avatars = 534 meshes, ~6.9 ms average (50 ms budget).

Player movement
- Separate accel/decel, step-up assist for kerbs and the entrance steps, and a
  forward-axis fix: W was inverted (get_axis(forward, back) is negative).
- Head bob, landing dip and precision-walk FOV, gated by persisted head-bob and
  invert-Y settings; precision chip and tick; surface-aware footsteps and a
  landing cue forwarded to AudioFeedback.
- Gamepad support (sticks, deadzone, face buttons, bumpers), a control legend
  that follows the active device, and named actions for the remaining keys.
- Key/button remapping in Settings, persisted as input_bindings and applied by
  InputBindings (mouse and gamepad axes are never removed).
- smoke_movement.gd (windowed): climbs the steps, checks precision speed, chip,
  footsteps and landing; new 11-precision-walk capture and catalogue entry.

zwitschi bb40a98537 Give street props colliders, zoned placements and variants
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 4m2s
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 31s
Props were decoration: the guard and guests walked straight through benches,
bins, bollards and planters. They now block movement and steer guests around.

Collision
- _add_prop_model() fits a StaticBody3D from the model's mesh bounds in
  holder-local space: a cylinder for bollard/bin/hydrant, a box otherwise, so
  placement rotation and variant scale carry over.
- Fallback primitives go through the same fit, so a missing .glb cannot silently
  remove collision.
- Each prop also publishes a NavigationObstacle3D; NpcAvatar enables agent
  avoidance and moves with the safe velocity from velocity_computed. The navmesh
  stays a flat walkable plane and avoidance does the steering.

Placement
- PROP_PLACEMENTS groups furniture by entrance, mid-block and curb zones, with a
  static placement_problems() validator for bounds, overlap/min-spacing,
  duplicates, and the door/steps/guest-lane exclusions.
- variant_for(index) gives deterministic yaw jitter, subtle scale, and optional
  clutter (bag by the bin, crate by the newspaper boxes, cone by the hydrant).

Verification
- New windowed smoke_props.gd: guard walks into a bench and stops; a guest
  headed beyond the bench routes around it and never enters the collider.
- Headless 182 -> 187: placement validation and its failure modes, variant
  determinism/range, collider + obstacle on every placed prop, fallback collider.
- Other smokes (PLAN verbs, crowd, emergency, timeline) still pass; Python
  tooling 53/53; screenshots recaptured; compare 9 good / 0 bad.
- Version 0.4.0. TODO: collision/placement section moved to DONE; prop pipeline
  checks remain.

zwitschi 3025ba1cef Capture the wand panel, escalation HUD and body-camera timeline
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 35s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m56s
The three newest catalogue screens had AI mockups but no staged capture, so
compare and judge skipped them. capture_screenshots.gd now continues past the
night set:

- switches to The Joke Shop at 620 s (EVENING still has routine spawns), frames a
  guest, and retries the wand until it alerts; if nobody carries an alerting item
  it stages the documented keys false-alarm case.
- applies a formal warning (arms the body camera) then blocking, jumps to 760 s
  for night lighting, and captures the HUD at L3.
- closes the open incident and opens the body-camera timeline, which now shows
  the warning / body-camera / blocking rows.

Wired the refs for wand_screening, escalation_hud and body_camera_timeline, and
regenerated the escalation mockup as a third-person over-the-shoulder night shot
so the reference matches the game camera. Added Hud.clear_log() to drop
target-cycling noise from staged shots. README gallery lists the three captures.

Verification: headless 182/182, Python tooling 53/53, compare 9 good / 0 bad,
judge: wand match 0.90, timeline match 1.00, escalation review, 0 diff.
Version 0.3.3.

zwitschi f2863abeac Draw prop models with a single atlas material
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 33s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m39s
Each generated prop used one material per part (body, accent, metal...). The
model pipeline now packs a prop's palette into one power-of-two colour atlas plus a
matching metallic/roughness atlas and emits a single material:

- atlas_for(): 8x8 cells per palette role, colours in sRGB, roughness in the G and
  metallic in the B channel of the second atlas; NEAREST sampling keeps cells flat.
- build_glb(): every part merges into one primitive with constant per-vertex atlas
  UVs; the material uses baseColorTexture + metallicRoughnessTexture with factors 1.0.
- audit_glb(): fails unless a prop has exactly one material, both atlas textures,
  two images, and TEXCOORD_0 on every primitive.
- Removed the now-unused sRGB->linear factor helpers; colour travels in the texture.

Verification: headless 181 -> 182 (new "one material per prop scene" test), Python
tooling 53/53 (atlas determinism/size/UV/palette-override tests replace the old
factor tests), model audit OK for all six props, screenshots regenerated and
screen_designs.py compare still 6 good / 0 bad. Version 0.3.1.

zwitschi afa1d6beec v0.3.0: rendering pass, generated props, selection model and Web build
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 36s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 4m17s
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.

zwitschi f763cff744 Export venues as editor-authorable .tres resources
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 34s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m51s
- tools/export_venues.gd (SceneTree script) saves the three factory scenarios to
  content/venues/<id>.tres via ResourceSaver. The factory stays the source of truth;
  the exported files are what an editor workflow would edit and ship.
- New tests load the files back and check that id, name, event pool, profiles,
  policy (ID/wand), equipment, door-staff lines, shift phases, and locations all
  survive. They also fail when the exported files are missing or stale, so the
  export is re-run after content changes.
- GUT is consciously not adopted: the custom headless runner already covers 157
  assertions without an editor plugin and keeps CI dependency-free. Recorded in
  DONE.md.
- TODO: the planned backlog is complete; only optional future ideas remain.
- README/MEMORY updated. Version 0.2.16.

Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 33s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m31s
Host (applied with root@192.168.88.30)
- [service] REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = false in /etc/gitea/app.ini (backup written
  alongside), Gitea restarted. Verified anonymously: repo page 200, API 200, and a
  release asset downloads at full size (50.8 MB AppImage).

Localization safety (Open Polish)
- Strings.placeholder_count() counts conversions and ignores %% escapes.
- Strings.fmt() validates the count and fails safe (warns, returns the template)
  instead of raising an engine error when a key's placeholders drift.
- Strings.validate() lints the table for a trailing %, unsupported conversions, and
  mixed positional/sequential placeholders.
- Tests cover the counter, the fail-safe path, a clean table, and a formatting pass
  over every placeholder key with type-correct arguments.

Docs
- TODO: distribution, release-pipeline, and open-polish sections are complete and
  moved to DONE; the v0.2.4-v0.2.8 backfill is closed as superseded.
- README/MEMORY updated. Version 0.2.14.

Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m26s
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 35s
Joke Shop
- Reservation list without ID (guest list valid, ID missing) — denied.
- Borrowed/mismatched ID (ID valid but mismatched) — denied.
- Guest who refuses the wand screen: new `refuses_screening` event flag, copied
  onto NPCController, handled in _toggle_wand_screening (logs wand.refused, records
  a wand_refused event, small prop hit, panel stays closed).
- Late arrival during the performance (ID + ticket, "arrive" intent).

Studio
- Filming-boundary event and a later repeat, both using the new `film_boundary`
  intent which maps to `steps_end` so the influencer stands past the posted line.
- Celebrity arrival now pulls in a small crowd via a new `extra_spawns` event field
  (two tourists + an influencer), spawned through the normal path.

Building
- Filming-boundary event whose hint points at the body camera and request-reason
  verbs, plus an unclear-intent event that hints at asking for a reason.

Engine support
- Events may carry `hint` (string key logged on spawn), `extra_spawns`, and
  `refuses_screening`; 9 new localized hint strings.

Tests/docs
- Headless suite 139 -> 149 (test_scenario_content.gd) and a new
  smoke_scenario_content.gd that spawns the refusal and celebrity events through the
  real signal path.
- README, TODO section moved to DONE, MEMORY. Version 0.2.13.

zwitschi 6684d36739 Fix release publishing and add a CI token fallback
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 26s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Failing after 3m58s
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.

zwitschi 3f4ac7e9aa Add accessibility pass: escalation meter and working HUD font scale
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 33s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Failing after 3m31s
- Escalation cue now includes a shape meter and numeric level
  ("Escalation: Blocking [###--] L3/5") in addition to the colour and name, so it
  reads in grayscale. Hud.escalation_meter(level) is pure and tested.
- HUD font scale from settings actually works: set_font_scale() resizes fonts via
  theme overrides instead of Control.scale, which pushed the right-anchored clock
  label off-screen. It now covers the top, log, target, hint, time, mode,
  escalation, cooldown, and debug labels.
- Settings load before the HUD exists, so _ready() re-applies player settings after
  _build_ui(); previously a saved font scale was ignored until the next apply.

Tests/docs
- Headless suite 134 -> 139 (test_accessibility.gd).
- Verified visually at 1.4x scale: no overflow, meter readable.
- README, TODO section moved to DONE, MEMORY. Version 0.2.9.

zwitschi 294ac17333 Add procedural crowd ambience and radio crackle
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 45s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Failing after 3m53s
- AudioFeedback.start_crowd_bed() builds a 4 s looping AudioStreamWAV at runtime
  (one-pole filtered noise plus a 68/103 Hz drone, seeded) and set_crowd_level()
  maps crowd mood 0..1 to -34..-12 dB, so the street gets louder as it gets
  agitated or panics. The bed starts with the shift and stops at shift end.
- play_radio_open()/play_radio_close() push short filtered-noise bursts; wired to
  opening the radio panel, submitting a report, cancelling, and closing the panel.
- Still asset-free and headless-safe: with a dummy audio server the calls no-op.
  _free_player() returns null before _ready and callers handle it.

Tests/docs
- Headless suite 127 -> 134 (test_audio_feedback.gd).
- New smoke_audio.gd: bed playing, level follows mood events, radio crackles once
  per open/close, bed stops at shift end. Verified windowed (real audio server).
- README, TODO section moved to DONE, MEMORY. Version 0.2.8.
2026-10-31 21:08:36 +01:00
zwitschi e2c2a0bf4c Add NPC theater poses: sit, photo, film, perform
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 29s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Failing after 3m44s
Once an NPC reaches its intent waypoint it now does something instead of standing
in an idle T-pose:

- sit: the rig settles 0.34 m into a seat and the legs swing forward on the steps
- photo/film: influencers and tourists raise their camera prop briefly (a sine
  pulse, so it reads as taking a shot rather than a permanently raised arm)
- perform: performers sway the sign board they carry

Pose selection lives in NpcAvatar.theater_pose() (intent + arrived); the math is in
pure helpers (crouch_for_pose, prop_lift_for_pose, sway_for_pose) so it is
headless-testable. Prop/leg nodes are captured at build time and animated from
their rest offsets. Performers also get a hand-held board and post.

Tests/docs
- Headless suite 120 -> 127 (test_npc_theater.gd).
- Verified visually with a staged sit/photo/perform lineup in front of the entrance.
- README, TODO section moved to DONE, MEMORY. Version 0.2.7.

zwitschi 1b976bf351 Add body-camera timeline to the shift review
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 30s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Failing after 3m38s
- New src/game/ui/event_timeline.gd flattens every recorded incident event
  (ADR-0005) into one time-ordered list and shows time, person, and a one-line
  summary. Step with Left/Right or the buttons; Esc returns to the review. No live
  3D replay in this first version.
- Shift review gains a "Body camera timeline" button that hands the review to the
  timeline; the review dim is hidden while it is open (stacked overlays made the
  screen nearly black) and restored on close.
- ShiftCoordinator records started_at_ms so the review can stamp events as mm:ss.
- 8 new string keys for the timeline UI and the review button.

Tests/docs
- Headless suite 113 -> 120 (test_event_timeline.gd), new smoke_timeline.gd that
  opens the timeline from the review, steps through every event, and closes back.
- README, TODO section moved to DONE, MEMORY notes. Version 0.2.6.

zwitschi 921bab796e Add emergency aftermath: evacuation, investigation, review copy
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 26s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Failing after 4m20s
- Responder outcomes now reach the shift review
  (ShiftCoordinator.responder_outcomes), and the review screen names them.
- "evacuation" (emergency call, low danger, no weapon) actually clears the entrance:
  the door is locked, every NPC flees and is marked as leaving, and a
  security_failure reputation hit applies.
- An emergency call the situation did not justify (no weapon, danger <= 1) appends
  an investigation note, records investigation_opened, and applies the existing
  false_report hit. The review lists the investigations.
- Fix dispatch dying after the first shift: coordinator.setup() builds a new
  RadioSystem, so the responder_arrived connection made in _ready was lost on every
  venue switch/restart. _connect_radio() re-wires it beside _connect_crowd().

Tests/docs
- Headless suite 105 -> 113 (test_emergency_aftermath.gd), new smoke_emergency.gd
  covering the investigation, evacuation aftermath, and review copy.
- README controls/status/smoke checklist, TODO section moved to DONE, MEMORY notes.
- Version 0.2.5.
