Phase 0 scaffold + asset audit findings

Project scaffold:
- project.godot at repo root, GL Compatibility renderer (max mobile reach),
  pixel-snap on, texture filter nearest, sensor_landscape orientation
- 7 autoloads: World, Sim, GameState, EventBus, Strings, Audit, SaveSystem
- scenes/main/main.{tscn,gd} smoke-test scene with autoload assertions
- Folder layout matches tavernkeep idiom: autoload/ at root, scripts
  co-located with scenes/ (not the scripts/autoloads/ mirror originally
  sketched in implementation.md)
- Input map: pause, speed_cycle, speed_normal/fast/ultra, confirm, cancel.
  Mobile gestures (pinch/drag/long-press) handled at script level via
  Godot's InputEventScreenTouch/Drag/MagnifyGesture.
- SaveSystem skeleton: SAVE_VERSION=1, JSON to user://save_slot.json,
  version-mismatch warning. Phase 3 expands to real entity state.
- icon.svg placeholder (cabin silhouette on dark green field)
- README.md points at memory.md / implementation.md / docs/

Headless verification: 'godot --headless --path . --quit' exits 0,
'[main] Phase 0 smoke test online.' prints, no errors. Editor-side
green-dot check still pending — needs human launch of editor.

Asset audit (researcher Haiku, 2026-05-10):
- FG_Houses.png NOT autotile-solvable — pre-built decorative house
  compositions, 4 distinct roof palettes, no modular wall family.
  ~½–1 day per material to author terrain bits on top.
- FG_Fortress.png IS autotile-solvable — ~20–30 modular tan-stone
  pieces. Wang-style Godot 4 terrain works with minimal extra art.
  Iconic Homestead $19.99 fallback not needed.
- No wolf sprite anywhere in the bundle. EvoMonster packs all
  cute/fantasy. Need commission, CC0 source, or Ventilatore check.
- Retro Graveyard 16x16 [Kingdom Explorer] confirmed in Tier 3 with
  full graveyard suite — direct use in Phase 14.

New open questions surfaced in memory.md:
- Player-built wall material strategy (3 options laid out)
- Wolf sprite acquisition path (Phase 10 blocker)

Project move:
- Repo physical location moved from ~/claude/projects/rimlike to
  /mnt/d/godot/rimlike (D: drive, fast for Windows-side editor).
- Symlink at the original WSL path preserves the home-CLAUDE.md
  layout convention. Mirrors tavernkeep's pattern.
- Set core.filemode=false to silence DrvFs's everything-is-0777
  false-positive on git diff.

 The five items from `memory.md` *Open questions / Audit*. None of these need code, but several of them gate Phase 1+ (autotile drives the wall pipeline; aesthetic harmony decides whether Ventilatore stays in active use). Knock these out before Phase 0.
 
-- [ ] **Aesthetic harmony test** — ElvGames Forest vs Ventilatore tile, side-by-side. Decide use-both or drop-Ventilatore. (~15 min)
-- [ ] **ElvGames autotile audit** — count corner / T / cap pieces in `Houses Tileset 2 Seasons/FG_Houses.png` and `Fortress Tileset 2 Seasons/FG_Fortress.png`. ≥16 wall variants → autotile is solvable; <8 → fall back to Iconic Homestead ($19.99) or custom-author. (~15–30 min)
-- [ ] **Wolf sprite source** — bundle's Animal Sprites lacks wolves. Browse EvoMonster Packs 01–15 or Turn-Based RPG Monster packs. Or plan custom (~few hours). (~15 min)
-- [ ] **Grave marker source** — Retro Graveyard 16×16 (Tier 3) probably has it. (~10 min)
+- [ ] **Aesthetic harmony test** — ElvGames Forest vs Ventilatore tile, side-by-side. Decide use-both or drop-Ventilatore. (~15 min) — **needs your eye**
+- [x] **ElvGames autotile audit** — done 2026-05-10. Findings (visual inspection):
+  - **`FG_Houses.png` is NOT autotile-solvable as-is.** Pieces are pre-built decorative house compositions (4 distinct roof palettes), not modular wall variants. ~½–1 day per material to author terrain bits on top.
+  - **`FG_Fortress.png` IS autotile-solvable.** 20–30 modular tan-stone-with-dark-mortar pieces — straight, corners, caps. Wang-style Godot 4 terrain works with minimal extra art.
+  - **Recommendation:** make Fortress stone the primary player wall material. Defer custom-authored Houses walls to v2 OR keep Houses as static prebuilt-shelter art only.
+  - Iconic Homestead $19.99 fallback **not needed**.
+- [x] **Wolf sprite source** — done 2026-05-10. **No wolf in the bundle.** EvoMonster packs are all cute/fantasy creatures (slimes, ghosts, dragons), Turn-Based RPG Monsters are humanoid-style. No 4-legged canine predator anywhere in the bundle. Action: commission a 16×16 wolf (idle + 2–4-frame walk × 4 directions) OR check Ventilatore bundle OR find a CC0 sprite. **Open in `memory.md`.**

 **Goal:** a Godot project that opens cleanly, has all the autoloads and folder structure committed, and runs an empty test scene.
 
-- [ ] `godot --headless` (or editor) → New Project at repo root, Forward+ renderer (mobile-friendly path TBD; check what export complains about)
-- [ ] Re-copy `addons/godot_mcp/` from `/mnt/d/godot/mcp/addons/godot_mcp` and enable in Project Settings → Plugins. Verify green dot in MCP Pro bottom panel.
-- [ ] Folder layout:
-  - `scenes/` (`world/`, `pawn/`, `ui/`, `entities/`, `effects/`)
-  - `scripts/` (mirrors scenes/, plus `autoloads/`, `systems/`, `ai/`, `data/`)
+- [x] `project.godot` at repo root. **GL Compatibility renderer** (max mobile reach; Forward+ would lock out older devices). Pixel-snap on, texture filter = nearest. Landscape sensor orientation. Viewport 1280×720 (`canvas_items` stretch, `keep` aspect).
+- [x] Re-copy `addons/godot_mcp/` from `/mnt/d/godot/mcp/addons/godot_mcp` and enable in `project.godot` `[editor_plugins]`. ⏳ **Editor-side green-dot check pending** — needs you to open the editor once.
+- [x] Folder layout (cribbed from tavernkeep's idiomatic Godot pattern — co-located scripts in `scenes/`, `autoload/` at root):
+  - `autoload/` — singletons (`world.gd`, `sim.gd`, `game_state.gd`, `event_bus.gd`, `strings.gd`, `audit.gd`, `save_system.gd`)
+  - `scenes/` (`main/`, `world/`, `pawn/`, `ui/`, `entities/`, `effects/`)

   - `art/` (`tiles/`, `sprites/`, `ui/`, `fx/`)

+- [x] Autoloads (stubs; real bodies land in later phases):
   - `World` — entity registry, tile state, signals
-  - `Sim` — tick loop owner, speed/pause state
-  - `GameState` — current map, save metadata, game-mode flags
-  - `EventBus` — global signal bus
-  - `Strings` — i18n string table (string keys → EN values; load from `data/strings.en.tres`)
-  - `Audit` — debug-only logging, perf counters
-- [ ] Input map: `tap`, `long_press`, `pinch_in`, `pinch_out`, `drag`, `pause`, `speed_cycle`. Touch + gamepad mappings.
-- [ ] Save/load skeleton: `SaveSystem.save(slot)` / `SaveSystem.load(slot)` — version field, file IO, save-between-ticks contract enforced (no save calls allowed mid-tick). Round-trip a literal "hello" for now.
-- [ ] `.gitignore` already covers Godot output; verify `.godot/`, `*.import`, `addons/godot_mcp/`, exports are all excluded
-- [ ] Smoke-test scene: blank `World.tscn` with a `Camera2D`, hit Play, see a coloured background. Done.
-- [ ] **Acceptance:** `godot --headless --quit` exits 0; clicking Play in editor opens a blank world without errors; `MCP Pro` panel shows the green dot.
+  - `Sim` — tick loop owner, speed/pause state, Speed enum + factor table
+  - `GameState` — current map, session timestamp, `save_dict()` / `apply_dict()`
+  - `EventBus` — global signal hub (no signals yet — added per-phase)
+  - `Strings` — i18n string table (`Strings.t(key)` lookup; const dict for now, .tres later)
+  - `Audit` — debug-only logging gate
+  - `SaveSystem` — `write_save()` / `read_save()`, version + path, JSON
+- [x] Input map: `pause`, `speed_cycle`, `speed_normal`, `speed_fast`, `speed_ultra`, `confirm`, `cancel`. Mobile gestures (pinch / drag / long-press) handled at script level, not as input actions — Godot's `InputEventScreenTouch` / `InputEventScreenDrag` / `InputEventMagnifyGesture` cover them.
+- [x] `SaveSystem` skeleton: version field (`SAVE_VERSION = 1`), `user://save_slot.json`, JSON serialize, mismatch warning. **Smoke-test payload only**; Phase 3 expands.
+- [x] `.gitignore` covers `.godot/`, `.import/`, `addons/godot_mcp/`, exports — verified.
+- [x] Smoke-test scene: `scenes/main/main.tscn` (Node + Camera2D + Label). `main.gd._ready()` asserts every autoload alive and shows the i18n-resolved hello string.
+- [x] **Acceptance (headless):** `godot --headless --path . --quit` exits 0, `[main] Phase 0 smoke test online.` prints, no errors. **Confirmed.**
+- [ ] **Acceptance (editor):** open `project.godot` in Godot 4.6, hit Play — see "Phase 0 — autoloads online." rendered at 32,32. MCP Pro bottom panel shows green dot. ⏳ **Needs your hand.**
