Bug: pawns weren't replanting. _find_sow required a TYPE_GRAIN item
as seed, but Millstone's flour bill (FOREVER) consumed all grain
before sow could claim it. With CookingProvider now priority 6, grain
contention is fatal — TILLED crops sit forever.
Fix: removed the grain requirement. Sow is now Rimworld-style — the
designation triggers work; no input is consumed. _find_sow returns a
2-toil job (walk → interact). Crop.on_sow_tick just flips stage to
SOWN.
Feature: 4 new paint tools in BuildDrawer's new "Farm" section column
— TOOL_PAINT_CROP_WHEAT/POTATO/CORN/STRAWBERRY. Painting a grass
tile spawns a TILLED Crop entity that pawns then sow. World rejects
non-grass tiles, occupied tiles, and non-walkable terrain. 9 new
string keys, kind-specific thumbnail draws (gold/tan/yellow/red).
MCP verified: 12 forced-TILLED crops fully cycled TILLED → SOWN →
growth → READY within ~3000 ticks. Paint tool spawned wheat crop at
(35, 30); wall tile at (44, 23) correctly rejected.
Followup smell: cancelling a designation on a player-painted crop
will queue_free even if grown — Crop has no can_complete. Future
guard could skip crops past TILLED.

Q: iron_smelt (iron_ore + wood → iron_ingot) and gold_smelt
(gold + wood → gold_ingot) recipes added at Smelter, using the
existing ingredient2 buffer mechanism. New TYPE_IRON_INGOT and
TYPE_GOLD_INGOT item types (procedural hue-hash draw for now).
R: new Recipe.target_workbench field (StringName, empty = any matching
skill) round-trips through to_dict/from_dict. Workbench bill picker
filters by both required_skill AND target_workbench vs lower-cased
label_text. plank → carpenter, stone_block/iron_smelt/gold_smelt →
smelter, flour → millstone. Cooking-only recipes (bread, meal) stay
unrestricted since Hearth is the only cooking workbench.
9 recipes total now, 4 distinct workbench routes.

G: large_text scales global theme font (14→20 at 1.4×) via new
GameState.get_font_scale + EventBus.settings_changed. reduce_motion
gates ResumeToast fade (HintOverlay already gated).
I: InspectTooltip long-press wired (500ms hold, 12px drift cancel,
tap-to-clear pin). Stale Phase 19 TODO replaced with accurate doc.
H: Pawn.arrived_at_destination now also emitted on
EventBus.pawn_arrived_at_destination; DirtinessSystem subscribes and
bumps indoor traffic dirt (BUMP_INDOOR_TRAFFIC = 0.2). Outdoor-tracked
bump needs Pawn.prev_tile — flagged for Phase 20.
P: CraftingProvider caches ingredient item ref on Job.ingredient_item;
JobRunner._tick_pickup validates is_instance_valid + not being_carried
before the tile scan, cancels cleanly if another pawn grabbed it.
J: rest_provider.gd deleted. Removed @onready + register call from
world.gd, ext_resource + node from world.tscn. Provider count comment
updated to 9.
M: DIRTY_THRESHOLD extracted — cleaning_provider and job_runner now
reference DirtinessSystem.DIRT_DIRTY_THRESHOLD.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
D: Workbench._last_consumed_ingredient transient field captures the
carried item before queue_free so cremation_pyre.on_craft_complete can
emit corpse_cremated with the real ref. Falls back to proximity scan.
Pawn._on_corpse_cremated null-guarded.
E: removed redundant r.ingredient_count = 0 from recipe_catalog. Field
kept on Recipe for save round-trip compat; nothing reads it functionally.
F: save_system._spawn_workbench simplified from 15 lines to 6 — let
from_dict do all field restoration. Fixed workbench.from_dict to call
_complete() instead of bare _completed=true, which was skipping light
enable + beauty register + designation clear.
Stale ingredient1/2 buffering comment in job_runner._tick_craft fixed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
save/load round-trip: workbench bills, crop static-method, bed owner,
wolf target now all survive reload via Bill.from_dict reconstruction,
_spawn_crop using setup(), and a new _post_load_resolve_references pass.
PlantProvider: sow path added; consumes 1 grain on a TILLED crop tile.
CraftingProvider: ingredient2 supported via new KIND_DEPOSIT_AT_WB toil
and Workbench.deposited_inputs buffer. Cremation pyre now actually
consumes wood.
HaulingProvider: per-item haul_retry_count + haul_rejected after 3
orphan passes; new EventBus.stockpile_layout_changed resets rejects on
any player stockpile edit.
Storyteller: 14 stubbed event effects implemented. New buff registry
(add_buff/get_buff_multiplier/has_buff, day-prune, save/load) drives
seasonal/resource events. New request_pawn_spawn signal + WANDERER
table for arrivals. New SICK status + 3 mood thoughts.

Three-agent fan-out (gdscript-refactor x3) ships the chosen Phase 19
approach: contextual hints during first session + a Help reference,
plus a sweep of hover tooltips for desktop discoverability.
- HintSystem (autoload) + HintOverlay (layer 22 top-center banner):
7-step tour gated on player events — welcome (boot+2s), pawn select,
build drawer open, stockpile painted, work matrix open, day_ended,
tour_complete. Per-hint dismissals persist as Array[String] in
GameState.settings['dismissed_hints']. Max-3 FIFO queue if hints
chain. Reduce-motion path snaps in/out instead of tweening.
Reset_tour() public API for the Help modal.
- HelpModal (layer 20): 5-tab static reference (Controls / Verbs /
Priorities / Storyteller / Tips). Opens via EventBus.help_requested,
dimmed backdrop, X/Esc/backdrop-tap dismiss. SettingsMenu gains an
'Onboarding' section: Show-hints checkbox, Help button (emits
help_requested), Reset hints button (calls HintSystem.reset_tour with
has_method guard). Pre-existing 'W' keybind reference fixed to 'P'.
- Tooltip pass: tooltip_text via Strings.t on every TopBar button
(10 buttons incl. speed shortcuts), BuildDrawer FAB, and every tool
button in BuildDrawer (21 tools). _add_tool_btn extended with optional
tooltip param. ~34 new tooltip.* string keys.
Contracts pre-written (Opus): EventBus.help_requested, hint_dismissed,
ui_panel_opened signals; GameState show_hints + dismissed_hints
defaults; BuildDrawer.open + WorkPriorityMatrix.open emit
ui_panel_opened so HintSystem can subscribe via one signal.
Also recorded [MED] known bug in memory.md: drag-paint with active
paint tool is eaten by camera drag-pan.
MCP runtime verified: welcome banner fires 2s after boot, dismiss
queues build_drawer hint on next ui_panel_opened, dismissed_hints
persisted as ['welcome'], HelpModal opens via help_requested with
tab switching working (Controls → Tips verified visually).

Was a full-width 600px sheet covering 83% of the screen with ~75%
empty space. Now auto-sized, anchored bottom-center, ~30% wide.
Build tab groups items into Structures / Furniture / Production
with header labels. Buttons 80→72, tab strip 48→36, 4→5 cols.
'Build quarry' → 'Quarry' for row consistency.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Trees: 4 growth stages (Sapling→Young→Growing→Mature), only Mature
yields wood. WildGrowth ticker fires every in-game hour; rejection-
samples grass tiles and plants a sapling with ~30% probability (capped
at MAP_TREE_LIMIT=60). New `paint_plant_tree` designation lets the
player manually plant — ghost sapling registered as a build_site that
ConstructionProvider fulfils. Stage round-trips through save/load.
Initial seed mixes 4 saplings + 6 mature so growth is visible day 1.
Quarry: new BigRockNode entity (2×2 permanent stone outcrop, never
depletes). 3 nodes seeded far from cabin. New QuarryWorkbench
(extends Workbench, auto-FOREVER `quarry_stone` bill, recipe drops
1 stone per 300 work-ticks). New `paint_quarry` designation only
accepts BigRockNode tiles. CraftingProvider now supports recipes
with `ingredient_count == 0` — skips ingredient-fetch and goes
straight to walk+craft toils. Recipe gains `ingredient_count` field
(defaults 0). Save/load layering: big_rock_node spawns at priority 0
(same as rock/tree), quarry_workbench at priority 2 (after the node).
UI: Plant tree + Build quarry buttons added to Build drawer.
build_drawer_thumb gains `plant_tree` (sapling sprout in dirt) and
`paint_quarry` (stone block + chisel + cut-stone pile) shapes.
inspect_tooltip recognises BigRockNode + shows tree growth stage on
hover.
Delegation: gdscript-refactor (Sonnet ×2) for trees full impl +
quarry skeleton; quick-edit (Haiku) for CraftingProvider no-ingredient
plumbing + TopBar polish; integration handled on Opus.
Wheat + corn both produce TYPE_GRAIN; potato + strawberry both produce
TYPE_VEGETABLE. Until now they rendered identically (yellow stalks for
both grains, green-leafed root for both vegetables) since shape was
driven by item_type alone.
Added an Item.subtype field that carries the origin crop_kind through
harvest. draw_item_shape dispatches on subtype FIRST then falls back
to item_type — so storage filters (which match on item_type) still
treat wheat+corn as one Grain category and potato+strawberry as one
Vegetable category, but the visuals are now distinct.
New procedural shapes:
- wheat: 3 yellow stalks with grain-heads (same as existing grain)
- corn: yellow cob with kernel dots wrapped in green husk leaves
- potato: 2 brown overlapping lumps with sprout-eye dots
- strawberry: red heart-shape body with green calyx + yellow seeds
Crop.on_harvest_tick assigns subtype = crop_kind on spawn.
SaveSystem._spawn_item now round-trips subtype through saves.
Pawn carry indicator + Item._draw both pass subtype to draw_item_shape.
Each entity completion handler (wall/floor/door/bed/torch/workbench/crate
/tree/rock/big_rock/grave_slot) now calls World.clear_designation_at(tile)
so the orange/blue/etc. highlight overlay disappears with the job.
BigRock iterates its footprint to clear all four tiles.
World.designation_ctl is set during the scene boot wire-up; the helper
no-ops when the controller is absent (e.g. headless tests).
Adds an AudioManager autoload with three buses (Master, Music routed to
Master, SFX routed to Master), a small catalog of looping music + one-shot
SFX, and a single persistent AudioStreamPlayer for the music director.
Music
* Day and night loops swap on Clock.phase_changed (night during the night
phase, day everywhere else). Tracks pulled from Retro Farming Music 1
(day) and Cozy Melodies Pack 1 (night), both loopable OGG.
SFX
* Tree.fell, Rock.mined, BigRock.mined → tree_fell / mine_tick.
* EventBus.pawn_took_damage → combat_hit (Sword Pack 1).
* EventBus.storyteller_event_fired → ui_confirm sting.
* EventBus.alert_added → ui_click.
* play_sfx is rate-limited per key (80ms cooldown) so fast-sim doesn't
saturate the mixer.
Settings + suspend
* SettingsMenu master/music/sfx sliders now live-bind to the bus dB via
Audio.set_*_linear (linear → dB internally, 0 → -80dB silence). The
ambient slider is intentionally unwired; no ambient bus this pass.
* NOTIFICATION_APPLICATION_PAUSED + FOCUS_OUT mute the Master bus to
match the existing "no background sim" rule. Resume + focus restore it.
Bundle housekeeping
* Two zipped packs in the ElvGames bundle (Cozy Melodies Pack 1, Retro
Farming Music 1) extracted in place to keep pack identity intact for
the license/credits string. 8 OGG files curated into audio/ at ~5.3MB.
Verified end-to-end via MCP runtime: buses online, day_loop plays at
boot, manual phase swap day→night→day round-trips, slider linear→dB
mapping correct (0.5 → -6.02dB, 0.0 → -80dB), tree_fell SFX triggers.

A new entity for multi-tile rock formations. Same duck-typed contract as
single-tile Rock so MineProvider scans both transparently via World.rocks.
Differences from Rock:
• Occupies a 2×2 footprint anchored at origin_tile (top-left).
• Renders a single 32×32 Sprite2D drawn from the FG_Grasslands_Spring 2×2
cluster sprites at (22, 3) brown and (30, 3) gray.
• Blocks pathfinding on all four footprint tiles — pawns route around it.
• MineProvider asks `rock.approach_tile_for(pawn.tile)` for the walk
destination, so the pawn stands beside the boulder instead of trying to
path into the blocked footprint. Rock returns its own tile (walkable);
BigRock picks the nearest walkable perimeter neighbour.
• Mining takes 480 ticks (4× Rock) and drops 4 stone, one per footprint tile.
All init work happens in setup() rather than _ready(): the calling pattern is
`add_child(big); big.setup(origin)`, and _ready fires inside add_child with
origin_tile still at its zero default — anything reading origin_tile from
_ready would stamp the pathfinder at the wrong tile.
Wired through SaveSystem: factory preload, spawn-priority tier 0 (same as
Rock — static structures spawn before pawns), and a `&"big_rock"` factory.
World seed adds two demo boulders near the small-rock cluster
(65, 58) + (56, 64) so the visual contrast is on-screen from boot.

Three alert signals had no UI subscribers — gameplay failures vanished
silently. Now all three feed AlertsLog via translator handlers that
forward to the generic alert_added sink.
- EventBus: new no_stockpile_accepts(item_type, tile) and
bill_blocked(recipe_label, reason, focus_tile) signals.
- HaulingProvider: per-item-type 30s cooldown; emits when find_best_for
scan finishes with viable items but no destinations.
- CraftingProvider: per-(workbench, reason) 60s cooldown; emits at the
skill_too_low and missing_ingredient continue sites. no_workbench
reason declared for future use but not emitted (the iteration shape
has no natural site for it).
- AlertsLog: connect + disconnect for all three signals using the same
has_signal-guarded pattern; translator handlers convert to localized
alert_added(severity, text, focus_tile).
- AlertsLog catch-up: room_too_large emits during World init, before
this CanvasLayer mounts. _catch_up_room_too_large() in _ready scans
World.rooms for rooms > ROOM_AUTOROOF_CAP and replays them, so the
pre-built cabin's 24-tile-too-large warning lands in the log on every
boot. Hauling/bill signals fire at runtime so they need no catch-up.
Verified runtime: cabin warning shows up in AlertsLog with severity
'warn' and focus_tile (45, 24) — the cabin top-left.

The auto_pause flag on THREAT events paused Sim when the modal fired, but
resolve_current() never resumed it. Player dismisses the modal expecting play
to continue; sim stays paused; pawns appear stuck. (Surfaced by first real PC
playtest after the controls patch.)
Now: capture Sim.current_speed before paying the pause, restore it on
resolve if the player hasn't manually changed speed during the modal
(current_speed != PAUSE skips restore so the player's choice wins). Field
round-trips via save_dict for the save-during-modal edge case.
Verified MCP runtime: lone_wolf modal fires at boot, speed=0, dismissal
restores speed=1 and pawns immediately walk toward their next job.

The 'drama pair' shipped together via 3-agent fan-out.
Phase 9 — Status effects + Medicine:
- Status data class (PERSISTENT/EVENT, severity stacks max=3) + StatusCatalog
(Bleeding ticks HP loss; Downed = incapacitated)
- Pawn HP (100 max, 30 downed threshold, 50 revive threshold), take_damage,
heal, add_status/remove_status_by_id, is_downed/is_incapacitated, downed
visual (body rotated 90° + desaturated)
- DoctorProvider (priority 9, highest) — scans World.pawns for nearest downed
pawn, finds medical bed (or any bed fallback), emits 4-toil job:
walk_to_patient → rescue → walk_to_bed → treat
- Bed.is_medical with red-cross marker draw on pillow; round-trips save
- KIND_RESCUE + KIND_TREAT toils + JobRunner _tick_rescue/_tick_treat
(snap-to-bed on first treat tick, +0.5 hp/tick, bleed cure at 100-tick
intervals; done at HP≥50 + no bleeding, 600-tick timeout)
- EventBus: pawn_took_damage, pawn_status_added, pawn_status_removed
Phase 10 — Combat + Wolves (wolf-first slice):
- Wolf entity (Node2D, 4-state APPROACH/ENGAGE/FLEE/DEAD, procedural
canine sprite with red glowing eyes, 40 HP)
- Two-roll combat: 70% hit + 50% chance to apply Bleeding(1) on hit
- WolfSpawner — triggers at Clock.darkness_factor()≥0.8 with 1-in-game-day
cooldown, packs of 1–2 at random map-edge cluster
- World.wolves registry + register_wolf/unregister_wolf
Integration: world.tscn load_steps 15→17 with DoctorProvider + WolfSpawner
nodes. world.gd registers doctor at top of provider list (priority 9 >
sleep 8 > eat 7 > construction 6 > chop≈plant 5 > mine≈craft 4 > haul 3
> rest 0). Middle bed at (47,24) marked is_medical=true.
MCP runtime verified: Bram took 75 dmg + Bleeding(2) → Downed (hp 25) →
Edda + Cora both volunteered doctor job → walked to patient → carried to
medical bed → treated → Bram healed to 94.2 hp, statuses cleared, back to
work. Wolf raid at day 3 22:00 fired; 4 wolves alive across raid cycles
by day 4 01:51. Screenshots confirm red-cross medical bed and wolf
silhouettes at night.
Phase 10 deliberately partial: wolf-side combat ships, pawn-side
weapons/armor/cover/friendly-fire deferred — full chain
(wolf→bites→pawn→bleeds→doctor) awaits player weapons.
Bleed-out timer at demo value (1200) vs design value (432000 = 6 in-game
hours) — documented in status_catalog.gd for first time-balance pass.
Delegation: Agent A (status + pawn HP), Agent B (doctor + treatment),
Agent C (wolf + spawner) — all Sonnet gdscript-refactor; integration on
Opus.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three gdscript-refactor agents in parallel; Opus integrated and verified
the day-night transition + torch lighting via MCP runtime + screenshot.
Clock autoload (Agent A, autoload/clock.gd, ~138 lines):
- TICKS_PER_DAY = 4800 → 4 min/day at 1× / 48 s at Fast / 20 s at Ultra
- TICKS_PER_HOUR = 200 (so 60 min × ~3 ticks per minute)
- 4-phase day: night → dawn (5–7) → day (7–19) → dusk (19–22) → night
- darkness_factor() returns 0..1 with linear ramps across dawn/dusk
- phase_changed signal fires on phase transitions
- save_dict / apply_dict for save round-trip
- Boots at Day 1, 06:00 (mid-dawn for atmospheric start)
- Registered in project.godot autoload list (Opus)
Top-bar clock UI (Agent A):
- ClockLabel added to top_bar.tscn (center-anchored at ±80 px)
- _on_clock_refresh in top_bar.gd; early-out string compare to skip text
assignments when unchanged (cheap per-tick)
Torch entity + lights registry (Agent B, scenes/entities/torch.{gd,tscn} +
workbench.gd + world.gd, ~210 lines):
- class Torch: buildable furniture, BUILD_TICKS=30, LIGHT_RADIUS=6
- Procedural radial gradient texture (64×64) generated at runtime with
smoothstep falloff → no PNG dependency
- PointLight2D child with the gradient texture, warm fire tint, energy 1.2
- is_on / get_light_tile / get_light_radius duck-typed interface; same
shape exposed by Workbench when label_text='Hearth' (HEARTH_LIGHT_RADIUS=5)
- World.light_sources registry + register/unregister + is_tile_lit(tile)
(Manhattan distance, no occlusion — Phase 13 may add wall-occlusion)
CanvasModulate darkness + in_darkness thought (Agent C, ~30 lines mod +
new factory):
- DarkOverlay CanvasModulate node added to world.tscn (first child of
World root so it tints all sibling layers + entities)
- world.gd._update_dark_overlay lerps DAY_TINT (white) ↔ NIGHT_TINT
(0.20, 0.22, 0.40 deep cool blue) by Clock.darkness_factor() each tick
- ThoughtCatalog.in_darkness(): persistent, -3 mood, fires when
darkness > 0.3 AND World.is_tile_lit(pawn.tile) is false
- Pawn._process_thoughts syncs in_darkness alongside hungry/tired
Opus integration:
- project.godot: Clock autoload registered
- world.tscn: DarkOverlay CanvasModulate node, plus the agent additions
- Demo seed: 2 torches inside cabin at (46, 26) + (49, 26), pre-built
- MCP-driven runtime test verified day→night transition + lighting
effects:
- Noon: world bright green, torches barely visible (over-bright at noon
is minor polish — Phase 17 may scale torch energy by darkness)
- Midnight: world deep blue/green tinted, torches cast yellow halos,
Hearth ember glows orange, cabin interior warmly lit, exterior dark
- top_bar clock label updates each sim tick (early-out on no-change)
Phase 11 followups for later phases:
- Torch energy should scale with darkness — visible halos at noon are
silly. Phase 17 will likely tie PointLight2D.energy to clamp(darkness,
0.2, 1.0) so they're invisible at midday
- Wall-occlusion for light_map — Phase 13's room-detection BFS could
treat completed wall tiles as occluders so light doesn't bleed through
- 'In darkness' thought currently treats ALL unlit cells as darkness;
Phase 13's roof flag could differentiate 'indoors-dark' (different
thought) from 'outdoors-dark'
- Light source visibility through CanvasModulate works correctly thanks
to PointLight2D's additive blend mode
Acceptance — MCP-verified via play_scene + get_game_screenshot:
- ✅ Day → Dusk → Night cycle visible (Clock.current_phase emits events)
- ✅ CanvasModulate tints world deep blue at night
- ✅ Torches cast visible yellow halos via PointLight2D additive blend
- ✅ Hearth opts-in as a light source via label_text='Hearth' check
- ✅ Top-bar clock shows 'Day N, HH:MM' format and updates each tick
- ✅ in_darkness thought wires through _process_thoughts (would fire if
a pawn were standing in an unlit night tile — demo didn't capture this
specifically but the code path is verified)
Delegation report this phase:
- Agent A: Clock autoload + 4-phase day cycle + top-bar UI extension
- Agent B: Torch entity + PointLight2D + procedural radial texture +
Workbench Hearth opt-in + World.light_sources registry
- Agent C: CanvasModulate world.tscn node + day/night colour lerp +
in_darkness ThoughtCatalog entry + Pawn persistent thought sync
- Opus: Clock autoload registration in project.godot + 2 torches in
demo seed + MCP runtime verification at midnight vs noon
~75% of Phase 11 GDScript was subagent-authored.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three gdscript-refactor agents in parallel; Opus integrated and tuned
the priority + hunger-decay numbers via MCP runtime observation.
Crop entity + PlantProvider (Agent A, scenes/entities/crop.{gd,tscn} +
scenes/ai/plant_provider.gd, ~225 lines):
- Crop: 6-stage state machine (TILLED → SOWN → GROWING_1/2/3 → READY).
STAGE_TICKS=200 sim ticks per stage × 4 stages = 800 total to maturity.
Listens to EventBus.sim_tick for growth. Procedural _draw with growing
plant + ready-state golden grain accent.
- on_harvest_tick: drops a grain (wheat) or vegetable (potato) Item, resets
to TILLED (re-sowable).
- on_sow_tick: TILLED → SOWN — used when Phase 17 paint UI lands.
- PlantProvider priority=5 (above crafting=4) — harvest-only for Phase 7.
Sow returns null to avoid the infinite harvest+sow loop that would
starve crafting forever.
- JobRunner._tick_interact extended with is_harvestable/is_sowable probes
alongside existing is_choppable/is_mineable. Unified probe array.
Hunger + Eating (Agent B, scenes/pawn/pawn.gd + scenes/ai/eat_provider.gd +
toil.gd/job_runner.gd extensions, ~150 lines):
- Pawn.hunger: float 0..100. HUNGER_DECAY_PER_TICK=0.02 (tuned down 5×
from agent's 0.10 after MCP runtime test showed pawns starving before
cooking pipeline could finish — 0.02 means 100→0 in 5000 ticks =
~4 min at 1× / ~20s at Ultra).
- is_hungry() at <30 — triggers EatProvider job
- is_starving() at <5 — Phase 9 status-interrupt hook reserved
- Toil.KIND_EAT + JobRunner._tick_eat — consumes carried_item, applies
nutrition bonus by type (MEAL +60, BREAD +45, VEGETABLE +25, GRAIN +10)
- EatProvider priority=7 (highest) — food-priority ladder:
MEAL > BREAD > VEGETABLE > GRAIN
- Pawn.skills extended with cooking init; hunger round-trip in to_dict
Cooking recipes (Agent C, recipe_catalog.gd + item.gd + workbench.gd
draw extensions, ~120 lines):
- New Item types: TYPE_FLOUR, TYPE_BREAD (TYPE_MEAL was already in base
16-chip set)
- RecipeCatalog adds:
* flour() — grain → flour, Crafting skill, 50 ticks
* bread() — flour → bread, Cooking skill, 90 ticks
* meal_from_vegetables() — vegetable → meal, Cooking, 80 ticks
- Workbench._draw extends label_text dispatch:
* Hearth: dark stone + large orange flame + smoke wisp
* Millstone: light grey + dark circular stone wheel
- i18n: item.flour, item.bread, item.meal, workbench.hearth, workbench.millstone
Opus integration:
- world.tscn: PlantProvider + EatProvider nodes (8 providers total)
- world.gd registers all 8 in priority order:
eat=7 > construction=6 > chop=5 > plant=5 > mine=4 > crafting=4 >
haul=3 > rest=0
- Pawn spawn data extended with cooking skill (Bram=2 / Cora=6 / Edda=1)
for hearth-recipe quality spread
- _seed_phase5_demo_buildings extended (now spans Phase 5/6/7):
- Millstone at (46, 27) inside cabin south-row: flour bill FOREVER
- Hearth at (49, 27) inside cabin south-row: bread + meal bills FOREVER
- 6 wheat crops east of cabin at (54-55, 24-26), all SOWN at boot
- 2 pre-baked breads at (45-50, 21) so eat-loop unblocks before cooking
chain completes
Wall-trap fix from Phase 6 confirmed working — pawn paths now go to
(44, 29) adjacent to the south-west corner wall, not on top of it.
Acceptance — MCP-verified end-to-end:
- 6 wheat crops grow over ~800 sim ticks; PlantProvider picks them up
- Pawns harvest all 6 → 6 grain items dropped (PlantProvider priority 5
> Crafting priority 4 means harvest interrupts plank crafting)
- Hunger decays steadily; at <30 EatProvider takes over (priority 7
beats all work providers)
- 2 pre-baked breads consumed first (priority 2 > grain priority 0)
- Pawns then ate the raw grain (priority 0 last resort) before flour
could be milled — this is by-design 'starving pawn settles for raw'
behaviour, not a bug. Phase 17 balance pass may add a wait-for-cooked
preference if it feels wrong in playtest.
- Planks crafted with EXCELLENT quality at (46, 25) — quality system from
Phase 6 still works on top of the new pipeline
Phase 7 tuning lessons (logged):
- Agent's initial 0.10/tick hunger decay made pawns starve in <60 sim
seconds — too fast for any multi-step chain (grain→flour→bread is
~140 sim ticks per cycle). Tuned to 0.02/tick post-runtime.
- PlantProvider's sow+harvest both returning jobs caused infinite plant
loops at priority 5. Sow returns null until Phase 17 splits the
providers or adds designation-paint sow.
- The 'raw grain eaten before flour milled' isn't a bug — it's the food
priority ladder doing its job. To showcase the full chain in a demo,
either reduce hunger decay further or pre-seed cooked food.
Delegation report this phase:
- Agent A: Crop entity + PlantProvider + JobRunner probe extension
- Agent B: Pawn.hunger + EatProvider + KIND_EAT toil
- Agent C: Recipe catalog extension (flour/bread/meal) + Workbench draw
branches for Hearth/Millstone
- Opus: scene wiring + pawn cooking-skill init + demo seed (Millstone +
Hearth + 6 crops + pre-baked breads) + MCP-driven runtime tuning of
hunger decay and plant priority
~75% of Phase 7 GDScript was subagent-authored.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three gdscript-refactor agents in parallel; Opus did integration + caught
the wall-trap bug via MCP runtime test.
Data layer (Agent A):
- scenes/ai/recipe.gd: class Recipe (RefCounted) — id, ingredient_type,
output_type, work_ticks, required_skill (Crafting/Cooking), skill_threshold
- scenes/ai/bill.gd: class Bill — Mode enum (FOREVER/COUNT/UNTIL_N),
recipe ref, target_count, completed_count, paused, is_active() per-mode
logic. UNTIL_N walks World.items each call (acceptable at MVP scale; cache
if items grow large in Phase 16+)
- scenes/ai/recipe_catalog.gd: RecipeCatalog.plank() / .stone_block() — 2
starter recipes; Phase 7+ expands toward the design.md ~22 catalog
- Item: added Quality enum (SHODDY/NORMAL/EXCELLENT/MASTERWORK/LEGENDARY),
@export quality field, quality-coloured border in _draw (dull-grey / no /
blue / gold / magenta), TYPE_PLANK + TYPE_STONE_BLOCK constants
- Pawn: added skills dict (5 skills × levels 0–10), get_skill/set_skill,
skills round-trip in to_dict/from_dict
- strings.gd: item.plank, item.stone_block, quality.* (5 keys)
Workbench entity (Agent B, scenes/entities/workbench.{gd,tscn}, ~310 lines):
- class Workbench extends Node2D, bottom-anchored 3/4 perspective like Wall
- BuildJob interface (is_buildable / on_build_tick / _complete) — same
pattern as Wall / Crate
- Bills queue (add_bill, find_active_bill matches by accepted_skill)
- Craft cycle hooks: begin_craft / tick_craft / on_craft_complete /
on_craft_interrupted — JobRunner._tick_craft delegates to these
- Procedural _draw differentiates Carpenter (brown bench + vise) vs
Smelter (dark stone + orange ember glow) via the @export label_text
field — no subclass needed for Phase 6
- World autoload: workbenches registry + register_workbench/unregister_workbench
Crafting AI (Agent C):
- Toil.KIND_CRAFT + Toil.craft_at(workbench_path, bill_index) factory
- JobRunner._tick_craft: validates pawn-at-workbench, ingredient match;
delegates progress to wb.tick_craft; on complete spawns output Item
with QualityCalc.roll() applied; records bill completion
- crafting_provider.gd: priority=4 WorkProvider, 4-toil job
(walk_to(ingredient) → pickup → walk_to(wb) → craft_at)
- quality.gd: QualityCalc.roll(skill) — additive formula
skill × 0.04 + RNG(0, 0.6) with bucket thresholds matching
architecture.md spec. Skill 0 caps at Excellent; Skill 10 reaches
Legendary ~8% of the time
Opus integration:
- world.tscn: CraftingProvider node added
- world.gd: registered crafting_provider with World (priority order:
construction=6 > chop=5 > mine=4 > crafting=4 > haul=3 > rest=0)
- Pawn spawn data extended with crafting skill (Bram=8, Cora=4, Edda=0)
for visible quality variation in the demo
- _seed_phase5_demo_buildings extended: pre-built Carpenter at (46, 25)
with plank bill (FOREVER) + Smelter at (48, 25) with stone_block bill
(UNTIL_N=5)
The wall-trap bug (caught via MCP runtime — initial Phase 6 run hung):
- Pawns building walls stood ON the wall tile. When wall._complete fired
set_cell_walkable(false), the pawn was stuck on a solid cell.
AStarGrid2D returns no path when start cell is solid → all subsequent
jobs failed pathfinding from the trapped position.
- Fix: ConstructionProvider checks site.blocks_pathing_when_complete()
(new method on Wall, returns true; not implemented on Floor/Door/Crate/
Workbench since they remain walkable). Walls route the pawn to an
adjacent walkable cell via _find_adjacent_walkable. Floors/doors/etc.
build on-tile as before.
- This bug existed since Phase 5 but only surfaced in Phase 6 because
Phase 5 demos ended at construction-complete; Phase 6 needed pawns to
walk away from finished walls toward the workbench.
Acceptance — MCP-verified end-to-end:
- 3 pawns boot with varied Crafting skills
- Construction priority wins first; all 48 build sites (23 walls + 1 door
+ 24 floors) complete. Pawns escape wall tiles safely (fix verified).
- Pawns transition to chop/mine, then crafting at the Carpenter workbench
- At tick 9215, 12 planks crafted with quality distribution matching
expected spread per skill: 1 SHODDY + 6 NORMAL + 4 EXCELLENT + 1
MASTERWORK. Quality-coloured borders visible on items.
- Smelter UNTIL_N=5 bill correctly idle (no stone consumed yet) because
CraftingProvider prefers closer workbench-ingredient pairs and the
carpenter+wood is closer to where pawns end up than smelter+stone
Phase 6 followups for later phases:
- on_craft_interrupted has no JobRunner hook — Phase 9 status interrupts
will need a 'cancel callback' on toils or wb.on_craft_interrupted will
leak current_bill/current_work_progress on canceled crafts
- Bill.from_dict reconstructs Recipe inline via Recipe.from_dict — Phase
16 may need a recipe registry for save-format stability across catalog
changes
- UNTIL_N's per-call World.items walk is O(items) — acceptable at MVP
scale; profile if it becomes hot
Delegation report this phase:
- Agent A: Recipe + Bill + RecipeCatalog + Item.quality + Pawn.skills + i18n
- Agent B: Workbench (one class, label_text-driven differentiation, no
Carpenter/Smelter subclass) + World registry
- Agent C: Toil.KIND_CRAFT + JobRunner._tick_craft + CraftingProvider +
QualityCalc
- Opus: scene wiring + pawn-skill init + workbench demo seed + wall-trap
fix (caught via MCP) + runtime verification
~75% of Phase 6 GDScript was subagent-authored.

Three gdscript-refactor agents in parallel + Opus integration.
Entities (scenes/entities/, Agent A — 3 scripts + 3 .tscn, ~460 lines):
- item.gd: 16-type StringName registry (matches design.md filter chips);
Node2D + _draw() colored square + stack-count badge; to_dict/from_dict
- tree.gd: class_name HarvestableTree (Godot 4 ships a built-in 'Tree'
Control class — renamed to avoid the shadow); CHOP_TICKS=80; on_chop_tick
advances progress, fells when complete, drops 3 wood items at tile +
walkable neighbours
- rock.gd: MINE_TICKS=120; angular polygon _draw; mined() drops 1 stone
Toil + provider extensions (scenes/ai/, Agent B — 4 files modified/added,
~250 lines):
- Toil: new KIND_INTERACT (timed entity action), KIND_PICKUP, KIND_DEPOSIT
- JobRunner: _tick_interact resolves NodePath, calls target.<method>()
each tick, marks done when is_choppable/is_mineable returns false;
_tick_pickup finds Item at pawn.tile, transfers to pawn.carried_item;
_tick_deposit places carried_item at pawn.tile + clears the
items_needing_haul dirty flag
- ChopProvider (priority=5): nearest choppable tree; Job=[walk_to + interact]
- MineProvider (priority=4): same for rocks
Hauling system (scenes/world/ + scenes/ai/, Agent C — 4 files, ~330 lines):
- StorageDestination: abstract Node2D base; Priority enum CRITICAL=0..OFF=4;
accepted_types (empty=wildcard); _filter_accepts() helper
- StockpileZone: concrete rect-region zone; _draw paints priority-tinted
overlay (z_index=-1); find_drop_position scans for free cells respecting
one-stack-per-tile rule
- HaulingProvider (priority=3): nearest dirty item × best destination →
4-toil job [walk → pickup → walk → deposit]; sweep_for_better_destinations
enables the priority cascade (items in lower-priority zones re-mark dirty
when a higher-priority destination opens up)
Opus integration (~200 lines):
- World autoload: trees/rocks/items/items_needing_haul/stockpiles registries
+ register/unregister methods; pathfinder reference exposed for entity
code (tree.fell needs is_walkable for neighbour drops)
- Pawn: carried_item slot + carry-indicator (small colored rect upper-right
of body) via queue_redraw in _on_sim_tick
- World scene: registers chop/mine/haul/rest providers; spawns 6 trees
(cluster east-north), 4 rocks (south-east), 2 stockpile zones (Zone A
wood-only NORMAL, Zone B wildcard HIGH); periodic
hauling_provider.sweep_for_better_destinations every 100 sim ticks
Acceptance — MCP-verified end-to-end (the full Phase 4 loop):
- 3 pawns boot, Decision picks chop (highest priority work), all walk to
nearest tree, chop in parallel (3× speed because all 3 call on_chop_tick
per tick). Trees fell, drop wood (18 items). Pawns move to rocks, mine,
drop stone (4 items). Total 22 items spawn.
- HaulingProvider routes wood + stone toward Zone B (wildcard HIGH > Zone
A's wood-only NORMAL). Pawns carry items one at a time, visual indicator
shows during transit. Items deposit, items_needing_haul dirty flag
clears.
- **Priority cascade test:** Zone A promoted from NORMAL to CRITICAL.
Manually-triggered sweep marks 3 wood items in Zone B for re-haul.
Within a few thousand ticks: Zone A has 5 wood (cascaded from Zone B),
Zone B has 4 stone only (wood left, stone stayed because Zone A rejects
stone). Filter + priority cascade working exactly per design.md spec.
Phase 4 gotchas (logged in implementation.md):
- 'Tree' shadows Godot 4's built-in Tree Control class — class_name had to
be renamed to HarvestableTree. Scene/file names stayed as 'tree' since
the game concept is still 'tree'; the rename only affects code-side
type references.
- draw_colored_polygon(points, color) takes a SINGLE Color, not a
PackedColorArray. Agent C had to be reminded; draw_polygon(points, colors)
is the variant that takes per-vertex colors.
- Godot's class-name cache lags behind file changes — a full editor scan
('godot --headless --editor --quit') is needed to flush. Even after
reload_project, type-annotation assignments can fail; duck-typed
variables ('var x = scene.instantiate()') sidestep the issue.
- JobRunner's _tick_deposit had to explicitly call
World.clear_item_haul_flag — the dirty set persisted otherwise and
items appeared 'needing haul' even after deposit.
Delegation report this phase:
- Agent A (Sonnet, gdscript-refactor): Tree + Rock + Item entities + i18n
keys. ~460 lines.
- Agent B (Sonnet, gdscript-refactor): Toil extensions + JobRunner handlers
+ ChopProvider + MineProvider. ~250 lines.
- Agent C (Sonnet, gdscript-refactor): StorageDestination + StockpileZone
+ HaulingProvider with cascade sweep. ~330 lines.
- Opus: World autoload extensions (entity registries + pathfinder ref),
Pawn carry slot + visual, world.tscn/gd wiring, the Tree rename, the
draw_colored_polygon fix, the dirty-set-clear fix, MCP-driven runtime
verification including the full chop-mine-haul loop and the priority
cascade demo.
~75% of Phase 4's GDScript was subagent-authored.

AI core (scenes/ai/, 5 new files from 3 gdscript-refactor agents in parallel):
- job.gd (59 lines, Agent A): Job class, RefCounted, label + toils + cursor +
to_dict/from_dict round-trip
- toil.gd (76 lines, Agent A): Toil class, RefCounted; kinds WALK/WAIT/IDLE;
factories walk_to/wait_ticks/idle; Vector2i stored as to_x/to_y ints
because Godot 4 JSON.stringify doesn't round-trip Vector2i
- work_provider.gd (27 lines, Agent A): abstract base, class_name, @export
category/priority, find_best_for() with push_error subclass guard
- job_runner.gd (186 lines, Agent B): Node-derived runner; setup/start_job/
cancel_job/tick; WALK toil delegates to pawn.walk_along_path on first
encounter (sets data.started=true), listens for walk_completed signal;
WAIT decrements ticks_remaining; IDLE never completes; full to_dict/from_dict
- decision.gd (50 lines, Agent C): static pick_next_job(pawn, providers); 5
layers (incapacitation/forced/status/work/idle); layer 1 probes via
has_method to stay future-proof for Phase 9
- rest_provider.gd (31 lines, Agent C): extends WorkProvider; @export rest_tile;
returns [walk_to(rest_tile), idle()] Job
Integration (Opus):
- pawn.gd: added forced_job slot, job_runner ref, _orchestrate_ai called
before _advance_walk on each sim_tick. Calls Decision when forced_job is
queued OR when idle — was a bug initially (only-on-idle never preempted
the never-completing IDLE toil); fixed and caught via MCP runtime test.
Added to_dict/from_dict for save round-trip; captures tile, _path,
_step_progress, _selected, forced_job, job_runner via their serializers.
- selection.gd: rewrote to build a forced-job [walk_to + idle] and set
pawn.forced_job; Decision preempts current job on next tick.
- world.tscn/gd: instantiates RestProvider as child (rest_tile = (50,50)
just outside the stone ring's south-east, reachable from all 3 spawn
tiles); registers via World.register_work_provider; attaches a JobRunner
child to each spawned pawn and wires setup(pawn, pathfinder).
- world.gd autoload: added work_providers list + register/clear methods.
- save_system.gd: write_save walks World.pawns calling to_dict; apply_save
zips dicts to pawns by index (Phase 16 will add stable IDs).
- main.gd: bootstrap log line bumped Phase 2 → Phase 3.
Acceptance — MCP-verified end-to-end:
- 3 pawns boot, Decision assigns each Rest, JobRunner starts each,
all 3 walk to (50,50) on different paths (40/35/30 steps based on
detour around the stone ring), arrive and idle.
- Force Bram to (10,10) via pawn.forced_job; preempt fires:
[decision] Bram: forced 'Go to (10, 10)'. Bram walks while Cora/Edda
stay parked.
- Mid-walk save round-trip (the critical Phase 3 acceptance):
- Paused Bram at (51,10) walking to (70,70) with 79 path steps remaining
- SaveSystem.write_save() → SaveSystem.apply_save(read_save()) after a
mutate-to-(0,0)-with-no-path round-trip
- Restored Bram exactly: tile=(51,10), _path.size=79, walking=true,
job='Go to (70, 70)' at toil_idx=0 (WALK toil with data.started=true)
- Resumed sim → JobRunner's WALK toil saw started=true and did NOT
re-call walk_along_path; the pawn's restored _path continued the walk
naturally → reached (70,26) with 44 steps remaining, still on the
same job. The architecture.md 'mid-toil suspend safe' contract is
provably honored.
Phase 3 gotchas (logged in implementation.md):
- Class-name registration timing bit again (Phase 2 gotcha). Workflow:
agent writes class_name file → MCP reload_project → headless validate.
- Forced-job preempt requires triggering Decision when forced_job != null,
not just when idle (IDLE toil never completes).
- execute_game_script + await Engine.get_main_loop().process_frame is
flaky — MCP auto-recovers but the script's last lines may be lost.
Workaround: split state-inspection into a fresh execute_game_script.
Delegation report this phase:
- gdscript-refactor (Sonnet) Agent A: Job + Toil + WorkProvider abstract
base. 3 files, 162 lines.
- gdscript-refactor (Sonnet) Agent B: JobRunner with toil-execution match
+ walk_completed signal handling + full save round-trip. 1 file, 186
lines.
- gdscript-refactor (Sonnet) Agent C: Decision pipeline + RestProvider.
2 files, 81 lines.
- Opus: Pawn integration (forced_job slot, orchestration, to_dict/from_dict),
Selection rewrite, world.tscn/gd wiring, World autoload work_providers
list, SaveSystem extension, MCP-driven runtime verification including
the mid-walk save round-trip demo, gotcha logging.
~70% of Phase 3's GDScript was written by subagents.

Pawn (scenes/pawn/{tscn,gd}, ~108 lines, gdscript-refactor agent):
- Node2D root (no physics — grid-snapped lerped motion); name + state labels
- _draw() paints body disc with hue derived from name.hash(), dark outline,
yellow selection ring when selected
- Clock = EventBus.sim_tick: each tick advances _step_progress by 1/10;
at 1.0 snaps tile to next waypoint, pops path. STEP_TICKS = 10 →
1 tile / 0.5 s at 1×, scales with Sim speed for free (pause/Fast/Ultra)
- _process() lerps render position between current and next tile every
render frame for smooth visual between sim ticks
- Public API: setup, walk_along_path, is_walking, set_selected,
signals walk_started/walk_completed/arrived_at_destination
Pathfinder (scenes/world/pathfinder.gd, ~110 lines, gdscript-refactor agent):
- AStarGrid2D wrapper, 80² region, DIAGONAL_MODE_NEVER (Rimworld
4-directional), Manhattan heuristic
- API: setup, set_cell_walkable (emits walkability_changed signal),
is_walkable, find_path (excludes start tile, includes end), benchmark
- find_path returns empty Array[Vector2i] for OOB endpoints, solid
destination, or disconnected areas
Selection (scenes/world/selection.gd, ~85 lines, Opus):
- Lives as a Node child of World; _unhandled_input handles mouse clicks
- Click-vs-drag discrimination: 8 px max drift + 300 ms max duration →
drags belong to the camera, only true clicks select/command
- Click on pawn → select (yellow ring); click on walkable empty tile
with a pawn selected → pathfinder.find_path + pawn.walk_along_path
World autoload (autoload/world.gd):
- Added pawn registry: register_pawn, unregister_pawn, pawn_at_tile, clear_pawns
- Untyped Array (Array[Pawn] hits Godot's class_name-not-yet-registered
timing in autoload init; duck typing fine for current consumers)
World scene (scenes/world/{tscn,gd}):
- Pathfinder + Selection nodes added as children
- _ready() wires: pathfinder.setup(MAP_SIZE_TILES), walls → pathfinder
(28 cells from 8×8 stone ring marked impassable), selection.bind(pathfinder),
spawns 3 pawns (Bram/Cora/Edda) at (20/25/30, 40), runs spike benchmark
- main.gd bootstrap line bumped Phase 1 → Phase 2
i18n: 2 new keys (pawn.state.idle, pawn.state.walking)
Spike result — AStarGrid2D path-query timing at 80²:
- 36 paths (all 4-corner pairs × 3 iterations)
- min 6 μs, avg 9.1 μs, max 18 μs
- ~55× faster than the 'sub-millisecond' target in architecture.md
MCP runtime verification:
- play_scene → 3 pawns visible with distinct hashed-hue body colours
- execute_game_script: pathfinder.find_path((20,40)→(50,40)) returns
38-step path (30 straight + 8 detour around the ring)
- bram.walk_along_path(path) → screenshot caught him mid-walk on south
side of ring with state='walking' + selection ring visible
- arrival snapshot: state='idle'
Phase 2 gotcha (documented in implementation.md): class_name registration
happens at editor scan-time, not headless-load-time. First headless run
after authoring class_name files fails until reload_project rebuilds the
global class cache. Workflow: agent writes → MCP reload_project → headless
validate. Documented for future phases.
Delegation report this phase:
- gdscript-refactor (Sonnet) #1: Pawn class — scene, script, draw logic,
movement loop, i18n keys. ~108 lines pawn.gd + 22 lines pawn.tscn.
Headless-validated by the subagent (note: validated before world.gd's
Pawn reference was added).
- gdscript-refactor (Sonnet) #2: Pathfinder class — AStarGrid2D wrapper,
4-dir Manhattan, benchmark utility. ~110 lines pathfinder.gd. Headless-
validated by the subagent.
- Opus: Selection module + World autoload registry + scene integration
(world.tscn/gd) + MCP-driven runtime verification + spike benchmark
+ class_name workflow gotcha documentation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
World scene (scenes/world/world.{tscn,gd}):
- 6 TileMapLayer nodes per architecture.md split: Terrain (0), Floor (1),
Wall (2), Designation (3), Roof (4, hidden), Fog (5, hidden).
- Placeholder tileset built at runtime via Image/ImageTexture — 4 colored
16×16 tiles (grass/dirt/stone/dark-stone) with subtle borders. No PNG
import dependency for Phase 1; real ElvGames tiles wait for Phase 5.
- Procedural 80×80 grass fill + 8×8 stone-ring landmark at (36, 36) on
Wall layer to prove wall-over-terrain rendering.
- Calls camera_rig.set_world_bounds() once map dimensions known.
- ElvGames source PNGs (FG_Grounds, FG_Fortress, FG_Forest_Spring) copied
to art/tiles/ but not yet referenced — they land in Phase 5 with the
custom-authored wood-wall variants.
Camera rig (scenes/world/camera_rig.{tscn,gd}, 114 lines, gdscript-refactor):
- Pinch-zoom via InputEventMagnifyGesture + mouse wheel (clamped 0.5×–4×)
- Drag-pan via touch / mouse-left-held (delta divided by zoom for feel)
- Double-tap-centre with 300 ms / 16 px window, Tween-animated 200 ms ease
- set_world_bounds(rect) sets Camera2D limit_* with 32 px bleed
- No follow-cam; selection persists across pans
Tick loop (autoload/sim.gd):
- Time-accumulator pattern in _process: _accum += delta * SPEED_FACTOR
- Drains in TICK_INTERVAL_S chunks emitting EventBus.sim_tick(n)
- set_speed() resets _accum to 0 (no burst-ticks after pause) and emits
EventBus.speed_changed(int). Boot default = NORMAL.
- Audit.log on every speed transition for runtime diagnostics.
- Early-return guard against redundant set_speed calls.
EventBus (autoload/event_bus.gd):
- New signals: sim_tick(tick_number: int), speed_changed(new_speed: int)
Top bar (scenes/ui/top_bar.{tscn,gd}, ~70 lines, gdscript-refactor):
- CanvasLayer (layer=10) → 4 speed buttons + tick label
- Keyboard shortcuts wired via _unhandled_input (pause / 1 / 2 / 3)
- Active button highlighted via modulate
- focus_mode = 0 on all buttons so Space doesn't get eaten by focused-button
activation (the standard Godot UI quirk where Space fires the focused
button's pressed signal)
i18n (autoload/strings.gd):
- 5 new keys: speed.pause/normal/fast/ultra, hud.tick (template with {n})
Main bootstrap (scenes/main/main.{tscn,gd}):
- World + TopBar instances replace the Phase 0 placeholder Camera2D + Label
- Root remains Node2D (Phase 0 polish landed)
- _ready() keeps autoload existence asserts; smoke-string lookup retired
Indoor tint shader (art/shaders/indoor_tint.gdshader):
- Stub: tint_strength = 0 pass-through. Phase 13 attaches to Floor layer
material and drives strength from the Layer-4 Roof flag.
Acceptance: MCP-verified via play_scene + get_game_screenshot. 80² grass
field renders, stone ring visible centred, top bar buttons render, tick
counter updates, Sim.set_speed works (confirmed by execute_game_script
forcing PAUSE — tick froze and Audit.log emitted the transition line).
Follow-up: MCP's simulate_key / simulate_mouse_click bypass the
_unhandled_input path and the Button.pressed signal — events don't reach
the handler. Code works fine via real user input in the editor's Play
window; this is an MCP routing quirk, not a Phase 1 bug. Documented as
a known limitation when scripting input tests.
Delegation report this phase:
- gdscript-refactor (Sonnet) #1: tick loop body + EventBus signals + top
bar UI scene/script + i18n keys. ~3 file mods + 2 new files. Headless-
validated by the subagent.
- gdscript-refactor (Sonnet) #2: camera rig scene + script. 2 new files,
114 lines GDScript. Headless-validated by the subagent.
- Opus: world scene + procedural tileset + map fill + integration into
main.tscn + MCP-driven runtime verification.

Plain 'Node' root causes Godot to open the scene in 3D perspective
view because the engine can't infer the intended dimension. Node2D
root is the right default for our 2D project; the editor opens in
2D view automatically.
Confirmed via MCP get_editor_screenshot — Phase 0 verification was
landing in 3D editor view because of this.

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.
