Provider audit found 6 WorkProviders missing reachability gates before
returning jobs. Without them, pawns can be offered doomed walk-jobs
(target boxed in), JobRunner cancels each tick, Decision re-offers
same job → 20Hz busy-spin starves lower-priority work.
Fixed 4 here (mechanical pattern):
- PlantProvider._find_harvest: walkable-target check (mirrors _find_sow)
- SleepProvider: walkable bed-tile check
- ChopProvider: adjacent-walkable for impassable tree
- MineProvider: adjacent-walkable for impassable rock
Cooking/Crafting reachability changes (in the same audit's
recommendation) were attempted but caused intermittent null returns
that regressed cooking rate. Reverted those — they need more careful
work that doesn't break the existing flow. Filed separately.
Future cleanup: _find_adjacent_walkable duplicated across
ConstructionProvider, ChopProvider — extract to a base/util.
MCP-verified after revert: 2 meals + 1 bread + 2 grain in cabin crate
within 3700 ticks at ULTRA. Cooking fires, hauling fires, all
production paths operational.

Player report: "where is all the bread and meals going? It's not in
the crate." Cooking was working; output was spawning at the Hearth
tile and never being hauled. Root cause: Hauling priority 3 was below
every gathering/production provider (Plant=5, Chop=5, Cooking=6,
Construction=6, Crafting=4, Mine=4) so the always-busy 3-pawn colony
never reached idle-enough-to-haul. EatProvider (7) also ate food
directly off the workbench tile before any haul could fire.
Bumped to 5 — same tier as Plant and Chop. MCP verified: 1 grain + 1
wood arrived in cabin crate within 3000 ticks at ULTRA, and pawns are
visibly mid-haul ("Haul bread x1 -> (50,23)"). Cooking still fires in
parallel.
Phase 6 placeholder priorities flagged for Phase 20 tuning anyway.
This is an interim bump that keeps the loop visible to players.

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.

Player report: pawns starve even with harvested crops because cooking
never happens. Root cause: CraftingProvider handled both crafting-skill
and cooking-skill bills with priority 4, below Plant=5 and Chop=5 in
Decision's tiebreaker. Pawns endlessly harvested + chopped instead of
cooking the food already on the floor; raw +25 vegetable couldn't
outpace HUNGER_DECAY × 3 pawns.
CraftingProvider now filters bills to required_skill == &"crafting"
only. New CookingProvider (category=&"cooking", priority=6) handles
required_skill == &"cooking" bills (bread, meal_from_vegetables) with
identical find/score logic including the ingredient2 buffer flow.
pawn.work_priorities default now includes &"cooking": 3 (matches the
9-category design spec). decision.gd category-list comment updated.
WorkPriorityMatrix gains a "Cook" column.
MCP runtime verified: pawns now decide `cooking(pri=3) → Craft Veggie
meal at Hearth` immediately after vegetables exist; 2 bread items
appeared by tick 261 of a fresh boot.

MCP probe surfaced that both manual_labor recipes were showing at
both Pyre and Quarry workbenches (empty target_workbench). Set:
cremate_corpse.target_workbench = &"pyre"
quarry_stone.target_workbench = &"quarry"
Now Pyre offers only cremate_corpse, Quarry only quarry_stone.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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>
L: SleepProvider.find_best_for filters bed candidates via the existing
Job.is_target_taken_by_other mechanism that ConstructionProvider
already uses. Sets j.target_node = best_bed on the proposed job so
other pawns see the claim.
Fixes the 2/3-pawns-floor-sleep symptom (memory.md 2026-05-11) caused
by greedy nearest-neighbor convergence. The bed.claim() mechanism was
already race-free; this just prevents simultaneous proposals on the
same bed.
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.
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.
Player reported pawns ignoring chop designations. Root cause was a
lingering door designation at (36, 27) — painted on the test shed wall,
which is pre-built and impassable. ConstructionProvider (priority 6)
kept offering the doomed job; Decision picked it over chop (priority 5);
JobRunner cancelled the empty walk each tick. Busy-spin starved all
elective work.
Mirrors the reachability pattern from HaulingProvider / DoctorProvider /
EatProvider. For pathing-blocking sites (walls) we probe from an adjacent
walkable cell; for other sites (doors / beds / crates / torches) we probe
the site tile directly. Unreachable sites are skipped silently so the
queue can sit dormant without starving lower-priority work.
Verified via MCP: with a deliberately-unreachable door designation in
the queue, all three pawns successfully picked up chop jobs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Player reported pawns ignoring chop designations. Root cause:
ChopProvider/MineProvider iterated World.trees/World.rocks
unconditionally — paint set a null sentinel and never touched the entity,
so designation was cosmetic only. Pawns auto-chopped nearest unfelled tree.
* Added chop_designated: bool to Tree, mine_designated: bool to Rock and
BigRock (footprint-aware: paint on any of the 4 footprint cells flags
the boulder). Save/load round-trips the flag.
* world.gd._on_designation_added 'chop'/'mine' cases now find the entity
at the painted tile and flip the flag. _on_designation_cleared inverts.
* Boot seed auto-designates SAMPLE_TREES / SAMPLE_ROCKS / SAMPLE_BIG_ROCKS
so the cabin demo still produces wood + stone end-to-end without
requiring the player to paint first.
Also from the same audit (researcher mapped all 11 WorkProviders):
* DoctorProvider + EatProvider now pre-check reachability with
pathfinder.find_path before issuing a job, mirroring HaulingProvider's
pattern. Previously they handed out doomed walks that JobRunner had to
cancel, busy-spinning at 20 Hz.
Verified end-to-end via MCP runtime: undesignated tree/rock returns null
from provider; paint flips the flag and provider returns a chop/mine job;
un-paint clears the flag; BigRock footprint paint works on any of the 4
cells.

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.

Two compounding bugs made hauling appear broken when targets were behind
walls. User report: 'i set a stockpile and there is stuff to move' — items
sat indefinitely.
JobRunner._tick_walk treated 'path is empty' (unreachable) by marking the
walk toil done and silently advancing to the next toil. Pickup/deposit
then ran at the pawn's CURRENT tile instead of the intended target —
'Bram pickup: no item at (44, 25)' for an item that lived at (45, 21).
The job 'completed' wrongly. Now an unreachable walk cancel_job()'s,
letting Decision pick something else next tick.
HaulingProvider didn't pre-check reachability before handing out a job.
With the JobRunner fix alone, Decision would have re-picked the same
unreachable haul every tick (busy-spin at 20 Hz). Now the item loop and
corpse loop both skip targets where find_path is empty from pawn.tile.
Cost: ~10 us pathfind per candidate; trivial at MVP scale.
Verified MCP runtime: bread at (45, 21) (reachable) hauled end-to-end to
the stockpile at (15, 62). Bread at (50, 21) (unreachable behind the
cabin wall arrangement) correctly skipped — no job assigned, no busy
spin in the log. Bram completed the haul and picked up his next job
(Harvest wheat) naturally.
Note: the JobRunner unreachable-cancel fix also helps any other provider
whose walk_to leg fails — chop/mine/construction were silently 'finishing'
the same way when targets walled off. They now cancel cleanly too. Their
providers don't yet pre-check reachability, so they could cancel-loop on
unreachable targets if nothing else is queued — left for a followup once
a real case surfaces.

Visible bug: with 1 wall ghost queued, all 3 pawns picked the same site;
2 stood idle while 1 built. Same shape would affect chop/mine/haul/etc.
Design: Job carries an untyped target_node ref (the tree/rock/build-site/
crop/item/patient/workbench/etc the job is acting on). Job.is_target_taken_
by_other(target, excluding_pawn) does an O(pawns) scan of live job state to
ask 'is anyone else already working this?'. Each WorkProvider's find_best_
for() now skips claimed targets in its scan and sets j.target_node before
returning. No per-entity claim state, no .claim()/.release() bookkeeping,
no save-format change — target_node is intentionally not serialized
because pawns re-decide and re-bind naturally after load.
Providers updated: construction / chop / mine / plant (harvest path) /
hauling (item AND corpse) / cleaning (target is Vector2i tile not Node;
field is untyped, doc'd) / doctor / crafting (workbench).
Not touched: rest (everyone shares the rest tile, that's fine), eat /
sleep (food and beds have their own availability gates; flagged as a
followup if multi-pawn food contention surfaces).
Verified MCP runtime: fresh boot, 3 pawns picked 3 distinct wall sites
(44,28)/(45,28)/(44,27) with distinct target_node refs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
NEEDS_CATEGORIES used to be [&"rest", &"eat", &"sleep"]. Decision iterates
needs providers before eligible work providers and picks the first one
that returns a non-null job. EatProvider/SleepProvider correctly gate on
hunger/sleep thresholds (return null when not hungry/tired), so they
yield to work when no need is pressing. But RestProvider always returns
a job — by design, it's the catch-all fallback ("stand here"). With
"rest" in NEEDS_CATEGORIES the loop preempted on RestProvider every
tick: pawns assigned 'Rest at (50, 50)' and never reached the
chop/mine/construction providers despite valid designations.
Fix: remove &"rest" from NEEDS_CATEGORIES. RestProvider falls into the
eligible bucket; its provider.priority=0 sorts it last in the eligible
sort (chop=5, mine/construction=5, etc, win the priority tiebreaker).
work_priorities doesn't include a "rest" key so priorities.get falls
through to NORMAL=3, keeping rest eligible for everyone (the UI matrix
deliberately omits rest per Pawn.work_priorities comment).
Verified MCP runtime: fresh boot, all 3 pawns picked 'Build stone wall
at (44, 28)' instead of 'Rest at (50, 50)'; advanced to next wall site
within 5 seconds.
Bug surfaced by first real playtest with painted designations — the
in-context audit caught it within ~5 min of inspection.

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 '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

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

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.
