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 v0.2.4-v0.2.8 remain unpublished; they are superseded by the latest.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.

ADR-0008: Cone focus and focus circle
- Status: Accepted
- Date: TBD
Context
The prototype picks a person with an 8 m physics ray from the camera. The collider is a capsule. A few pixels off the body, or a bob during a walk, clears the target. The HUD then prints a name and hint, but nothing in the world shows who is selected. Tab already cycles people within 12 m as an aim-free path.
The next pass needs the player to look at a person, know they have them, and only then open an action menu. A hairline ray is too brittle for that, and a HUD line is easy to miss in a crowd.
Decision
Focus is a cone, not a ray.
- People within about 10 m whose head projects inside a screen-space circle around the crosshair (about 90 px / 10 degrees) are candidates.
- If several heads sit in the circle, pick the one closest to the center; if tied, the nearer one.
- The person must be in front of the camera. A short ray to the head skips people fully hidden by the building.
- A few frames of grace keep walk-bob from dropping focus.
Tabstill cycles people inside 12 m and sets the same focused person.
When someone is in focus, draw a blue, semi-transparent circle in front of the face, attached to the avatar Head node, billboarded so it stays a circle on screen. Blue while idle; brighter and slightly larger while the action menu is open on that person. Optional display_name under the circle. One circle at a time.
The world must not show the internal type name (Trespasser, Violent Threat). The debug overlay (F) can still print it.
Consequences
Positive
- Looking near a person is enough; the player does not have to pin a capsule.
- The circle is visible in the scene, so the HUD is not the only focus cue.
Tabremains the accessibility path and shares the same focused person.- The action menu (ADR-0009) has a clear subject.
Negative
- Two heads in the same circle can steal focus; center-distance is a heuristic, not a lock-on.
- Hats and protester signs can z-fight a 3D circle. A screen-space circle unprojected from the head is an allowed fallback.
- Occlusion rays can fail on unusual geometry; grace frames hide some of that.
Alternatives considered
- Keep the hairline ray: Rejected because it drops people too easily and has no world mark.
- Sticky lock-on until cancelled: Rejected because the job is to watch a crowd, not duel one person.
- Screen reticle only, no world circle: Rejected; in a crowd the player needs a mark on the face, not only a HUD line.
- Click a person to select, then act: Rejected for default play. The mouse is captured for look (ADR-0007). Click opens the action menu on whoever is already in the cone.
