+# Gitea Access (tea CLI)
+
+**Never access the Gitea API directly** — use the `tea` CLI with all required flags to bypass interactive mode.
+
+Always pass `--login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --output simple` to avoid TTY prompts.
+
+```bash
+# List open PRs
+tea pr list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
+
+# View a PR with comments
+tea pr --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --comments -o simple <PR_NUMBER>
+
+# Post a comment on a PR (or issue)
+tooling/tea-comment <NUMBER> "comment body"
+
+# Approve a PR
+tea pr approve --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <PR_NUMBER>
+
+# List issues
+tea issue list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
+```
+
+## Key rules
+
+- **All flags must be explicit** — omitting `--login` or `--repo` triggers interactive prompts that crash in Claude Code (no TTY)
+- **Use `--output simple`** for machine-readable output (no table borders)
+- **For comments, use `tooling/tea-comment <number> "body"`** — handles temp files and cleanup automatically. Works with multi-line strings.
+- **`tea pr reject` does not work on your own PRs** — use `tea comment` instead
+- **Never delete protected branches:** `main`, `maintenance`, `server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci` are protected on Gitea. Do not use `tea pr clean`, `git push --delete`, or `git branch -D` on these branches.
+
+## Pull requests
+
+**Use `tea` (Gitea CLI), not `gh` (GitHub CLI).** The remote is Gitea at `git.schweitz.internal`.
+
+Always provide all required flags to ensure non-interactive execution:
+```bash
+tea pr create \
+  --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach \
+  --login schweitz \
+  --title "feat(scope): short description" \
+  --description "PR body here" \

+# Team Patterns
+
+## Model selection
+
+Default model is Opus 4.6 (200K context). For heavy sessions (workshops,
+sprint planning, large reviews), switch to extended context on-demand:
+
+- `/model sonnet[1m]` — Sonnet 4.6 with 1M context window
+- `/model opus[1m]` — Opus 4.6 with 1M context window
+- Cost: 2x input + 1.5x output for tokens beyond 200K (Tier 4 required)
+
+## Large content pushes
+
+When producing many files (wiki pages, content batches, bulk docs):
+1. **Lore librarian** agent (read-only): ingests all source material, answers focused context queries from writers, tracks cross-file consistency
+2. **Multiple writer** agents (parallel, by domain): each gets a task slice, writes directly to disk using the Write tool — one file at a time, write often, no text accumulation
+3. **Reviewer** agents (blocked until writing done): check voice consistency, attribute uniformity, style
+
+Key: writers use Write tool directly (no transcription bottleneck), librarian catches contradictions early, split work by domain not volume.
+
+## Team monitoring (stuck agent detection)
+
+When leading a team (sprint, workshop, or any multi-agent session):
+
+**Agent heartbeat rule** — include in every agent spawn prompt:
+> If you have been working on a single task for more than 15 minutes
+> without making progress, message the team lead with what is blocking
+> you. Do not keep retrying the same approach silently.
+
+**Team lead proactive checks:**
+- If an agent has not sent a message in ~20 minutes, ping them for a status update.
+- **Bottleneck detection:** if other agents are idle and waiting on one agent's output, that agent's silence is a red flag — check on them immediately, do not wait for the next natural message.
+- When checking on a stuck agent, offer to reassign the task or pull in another agent to help.

+       Before creating a new file, Glob for similar files to learn
+       the existing patterns (naming, structure, imports). Follow

+
+    4. VERIFY AFTER WRITE: After implementing a change, grep for

+       explaining what is blocked and what remains — do NOT mark
+       it completed.
+
+    6. MESSAGE WHEN BLOCKED: If you hit a problem you cannot solve

+       Do not silently skip work or leave stubs. Do not move to

+

+
+```
+Task(
+  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
+  model: "haiku",
+  prompt: "Run /sprint-status. Read the skill at
+    .claude/skills/sprint-status/SKILL.md for the full workflow

+)
+```
+
+Present the subagent's output to the user verbatim. Do NOT run the
+workflow yourself.
+
+---
+
+The remainder of this file is the subagent's reference for executing
+the workflow.
+
+## Step 1 — Gather data
+
+Run these two commands in parallel:
+
+```bash
+tooling/db/sprint sweep
+```
+
+```bash
+tea pr list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
+```
+
+The `sweep` command returns JSON with:
+- `sprint` — id, name, goal
+- `progress` — total, done, pct
+- `by_status` — tickets grouped into done, review, in_progress, blocked, backlog
+- `by_team` — per-team counts
+- `issues` — bookkeeping problems with suggested fix commands
+
+The `tea pr list` returns open PRs as `#N title` lines.
+
+## Step 2 — Cross-reference PRs with tickets
+
+Parse PR head branches from the `tea pr list` output. Known team branches:
+`server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci`.
+
+Detect additional issues:
+
+- **done_team_open_pr**: A team's tickets are all done but an open PR
+  still exists for that team branch.
+- **orphan_pr**: An open PR exists on a branch that has no tickets in
+  the active sprint.
+
+Add these to the issues list from step 1.
+
+## Step 3 — Format output
+
+Read `references/output-template.md` for the exact format spec.
+
+Render the report using data from steps 1-2. Key rules:
+- Sections ordered: Completed, In Review, In Progress, Blocked, Backlog
+- Sort tickets within sections by team then ticket ID
+- Empty sections: show header with "(0)" and "(none)" — no empty table
+- Bookkeeping Issues: two-column table (Issue, Fix)
+- Open Work by Team: summary table at the bottom
+- Issue type labels: `stale_backlog` → "Stale backlog",
+  `unassigned_in_progress` → "Unassigned in_progress",
+  `assigned_but_done` → "Assigned but done",
+  `done_team_open_pr` → "Done team with open PR",
+  `orphan_pr` → "Orphan PR"
+
+## Step 4 — Suggest actions
+
+After the formatted report, if there are bookkeeping issues, add a
+"Suggested fixes" section with the fix command for each issue. Group
+by issue type for readability.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [v0.1.22] — 2026-03-03
+
+### Added
+- Visual test harness — `make screenshot`, `make test-visual`, `make visual-update` for automated visual regression testing with golden PNGs across 11 scenarios (fog, HUD, dialogue, minimap)
+- Visual movie mode — `make visual-movie` captures interaction flows as frame sequences with contact sheet generation
+- World seed protocol — StartupMessage carries world_seed from client to server after handshake, enabling deterministic NPC population seeding (D-010, D-029)
+- EntanglementConfig — per-seed NPC population ratios (flat/mundane/intrigue) sampled from seeded RNG with D-029 bounds, ensuring same seed = same world (#175, #178)
+- Fog debug mode — toggle FogState.debug_exploration to render raw exploration texture as colored overlay for diagnostic use
+- D-110 through D-112: z-level addressing, subterranean architecture, no instancing decisions
+- Q-051: speech bubble indicator over speaking NPCs
+- Sprint 22 "Wire" briefings (server, client, visual, CI, planning, joint)
+
+### Added (server)
+- Production NPC pool generation — 23 authored Sova NPCs spawn with EntanglementTag (Flat/Intrigue) based on triangle membership (#176, D-029)
+- Authored triangle instantiation — 5 Sova triangles (3 active forks, 2 passive tensions) loaded from content YAML with deterministic IDs (#188, D-087)
+- Contamination activation mechanic — timer-based storyteller fires after 30 game-minutes, pressures active triangles, emits ContaminationEvent (#254)
+- Modifications data model stub — Vec<Modification> on chunk entities, round-trips through save/load for future construction DLC (#567, D-112)
+- Zone Gate gauntlet room — two-zone test room with door boundary, zone crossing detection system (#512)
+- Fuzzy map tests — 50-seed randomized testing of procedural maps against 4 structural invariants (#509)
+
+### Fixed
+- Fog shader: silent compilation failure in OpenGL3 compat mode — removed `return` statements from fragment() which are not supported, causing fog overlay to render as no-op (root cause of Sprint 22 fog regression)
+- Fog system: blocky stair-stepped edges at vision cone boundary — doubled Gaussian blur step size for D-066 compliant 6-8 tile smooth gradient (#569)
+- Fog system: zero visibility in explored areas — switched bounds calculation from visible_tiles (empty in live server mode) to visible_positions, and removed shader guard that cut off gradient bleed into unexplored tiles (#569)
+- Fog shader alpha tuned to D-059 spec: light fog 0.25-0.35 (was 0.25-0.55), deep fog 0.55-0.70 (was 0.78-0.90) — world content now visible through fog instead of hidden behind it (#563)
+
+### Changed
+- Fog shader now distinguishes light fog (near cone, neutral dark) from deep fog (far from cone, zone temperature tint) with separate Perlin noise breathing cycles (8-10s / 15-20s)
+- Zone temperature tint populated per-tile from server zone_id: bar=warm amber-dark, hub=cool blue-dark, corridor=neutral dark (D-059/D-046/D-077)
+- Simplified vision cone from 3-sector (forward/peripheral/blind) to forward-only 120° arc — server sends only forward-cone tiles, client renders explored tiles behind the player with light fog overlay
+- Simplified fog shader from 5-layer to 3-layer model (clear, explored, unexplored)
+- Fog texture resize now preserves exploration data — tiles behind the player stay as light fog instead of reverting to unexplored black
+- Updated D-015/D-017 perception decisions to reflect simplified cone model
+- Moved connector scripts from db/connectors/ to tooling/db/ (#274) — backwards-compat symlink removed in #568
+
+### Removed
+- db/connectors symlink — all references now use tooling/db/ directly (#568)
+
+## [v0.1.20] — 2026-02-25
+
+### Added
+- Social site template schema — RoleSchema (#163), SpaceSpec (#164), TriangleDef (#106) with YAML deserialization, sample templates at server/data/templates/
+- Single-ownership model — TemplateOwnership component, TemplateReferenceMap resource, cross-template reference links preserved across save/load and tier eviction (#165, D-025)
+- Triangle generation — intra-template constraint satisfaction assigns NPCs to triangle roles, minimum 2 triangles per template with fallback on imperfect seeds (#107)
+- Triangle escalation system — tick_triangle_escalation runs per game-minute, tension increments toward ToleranceThreshold, TriangleCrisisEvent emitted on Active phase entry, ResolveTriangle stub command (#250, D-087)
+- Protocol v16 — TriangleCrisisEventWire on ObserverSnapshot for future client rendering of triangle crises
+- D-093: Sova Transit District spatial layout — 4 social sites (Terminal, Bar, Gate Cluster, Sector 3), 2 encounter nodes, zone palette, gate cluster 7-zone spec, z-level scheme (z=0 maintenance, z=1 main, z=2 observation gallery), 3 investigation paths, corridor widths
+- D-094: Spatial hierarchy — chunk (64×64 sim) → block (128×128 sim) → district (4×4 blocks, 256×256 visual), supersedes D-014 estimate
+- D-095: Horizon stations and transport lore — span gates (human-built, dual-use), horizon stations (alien-built, 4-8 apertures), "The Ring" per-system naming, sequential hop travel, The Loop internal tram
+- Generator architecture workshop brief (ticket #562) — top-down pipeline for district generation, targeting Q-036 resolution
+- SnapshotEventRouter — callable-based snapshot dispatch replaces inline if-has blocks in main.gd (#559)
+- YamlParser shared utility — unified YAML parsing for UI strings and checklist conditions (#560)
+
+### Fixed
+- Wire triangle crisis event queue into observer snapshot — clients now receive TriangleCrisisEventWire via protocol v16 (was always empty)
+- Persist TriangleState in SaveStateV1 — triangle phase and tension survive save/load cycles
+- Validate dangling with_role references in TriangleDef constraint validation
+- Replace O(n²) fallback NPC assignment with BTreeSet; prevent same NPC assigned to two roles in one triangle
+- Replace O(N*M) scan in apply_resolve_triangle with BTreeMap index for O(1) per-command lookup
+- Add From impls for RoleId, TriangleId, StableId, TriangleCrisisEventWire — eliminate fragile .0 newtype access
+- Consolidate near-identical unit tests with integration counterparts
+
+### Changed
+- Sova station profile updated — horizon gates located at The Krenn Ring (800 AU), not on Station Sova; Admin Hub houses transit processing facility only
+- game_state.gd: stationary_ticks and zone_id now read from server snapshot with deprecated client-side fallbacks (#557, D-020)
+- dialogue_box.gd: decoupled from GameState and AudioManager via signals — zero direct autoload references (#558, D-020)
+- main.gd: snapshot dispatch via SnapshotEventRouter, dialogue signal coordinator handlers (#559, #558)
+- ui_strings.gd and checklist_evaluator.gd: delegate to YamlParser, ~140 lines of duplication removed (#560)
+
+## [v0.1.19] — 2026-02-25
+
+### Added
+- Sprint 20: Shape planned — 11 tickets (server 6, client 4, planning 1) covering template/triangle schemas, client refactors, and district layout design discussion
+- Planning team ticket type in sprint-plan skill — supports design discussions with purpose-assembled agent panels, Qatux and SI for bookkeeping

+This project uses **git worktrees** in a shared parent directory (`settled-reach/`). Each team branch (`server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci`) has its own worktree. The worktree root IS the git root.
 
-Each worktree contains the full repository: `server/` (Rust backend), `client/` (Godot client), `docs/`, `decisions/`, etc. The worktree root IS the git root — use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` if in doubt.

 ### Before starting work
 1. Read your sprint briefing at `docs/sprints/sprint-N/{team}.md` for current tasks
-2. Use `db/connectors/ticket show <id>` for full ticket details
+2. Use `tooling/db/ticket show <id>` for full ticket details
 3. Read the relevant `decisions/*.md` domain file(s) referenced in the briefing
 4. Background context: `docs/briefings/{your-name}.md`, `docs/discussions/`
 
-### Ticket and database access
-**Prefer the ticket CLI over raw SQL.** The CLI handles column names, joins, and output formatting correctly:
-```bash
-db/connectors/ticket list --sprint 2 --team server
-db/connectors/ticket show 78
-db/connectors/ticket sprint --active
-```
+### CLI tools
 
-### Sprint CLI
-**Use the sprint CLI for sprint-scoped operations.** It batches ticket queries and formats output for agent consumption:
-```bash
-db/connectors/sprint status                    # Current sprint progress
-db/connectors/sprint status --team server      # Team-scoped view
-db/connectors/sprint start-work --team client  # Full context dump for starting work
-db/connectors/sprint prepare                   # Prepare next sprint (candidates + gaps)
-db/connectors/sprint start                     # Activate a planned sprint
-db/connectors/sprint stop                      # Complete an active sprint
-```
-Team is auto-detected from the current git branch (if not `main`). Sprint is auto-detected from DB state.
+**Prefer CLI wrappers over raw SQL.** Never use the `sqlite3` CLI — it crashes in Claude Code (std::bad_alloc). Use the wrapper scripts instead.
 
-Only fall back to raw SQL for queries the CLI doesn't support. **Never use the `sqlite3` CLI** — it crashes in Claude Code due to a known std::bad_alloc bug. Use the wrapper scripts instead:
-```bash
-db/connectors/sqlite-query "SELECT * FROM tickets WHERE status='in_progress'"
-db/connectors/sqlite-exec "UPDATE tickets SET status='done' WHERE id=1"
-```
-
-### Qdrant / document search
-```bash
-db/connectors/qdrant-search "asymmetric information design"
-db/connectors/qdrant-index docs/briefings/tyre.md
-db/connectors/qdrant-health
-db/connectors/qdrant-count
-```
-
-### Gitea access (tea CLI)
-**Never access the Gitea API directly** — use the `tea` CLI with all required flags to bypass interactive mode.
-
-Always pass `--login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --output simple` to avoid TTY prompts.
-
-```bash
-# List open PRs
-tea pr list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
-
-# View a PR with comments
-tea pr --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --comments -o simple <PR_NUMBER>
-
-# Post a comment on a PR (or issue)
-tea comment --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <NUMBER> "comment body"
-
-# Approve a PR
-tea pr approve --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <PR_NUMBER>
-
-# List issues
-tea issue list --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach --state open --output simple
-```
-
-Key rules:
-- **All flags must be explicit** — omitting `--login` or `--repo` triggers interactive prompts that crash in Claude Code (no TTY)
-- **Use `--output simple`** for machine-readable output (no table borders)
-- **`tea comment` hangs with inline heredocs and multi-line strings.** Always write the comment body to a temp file first, then pass it via `$(cat)`:
-  ```bash
-  # Step 1: Write content to .tmp/ (gitignored) using the Write tool
-  # Step 2: Post via cat
-  tea comment --login schweitz --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach <NUMBER> "$(cat .tmp/review-branch.md)"
-  ```
-- **`tea pr reject` does not work on your own PRs** — use `tea comment` instead
-- **Never delete protected branches:** `main`, `maintenance`, `server`, `client`, `copy`, `audio`, `visual`, `ci` are protected on Gitea. Do not use `tea pr clean`, `git push --delete`, or `git branch -D` on these branches.

-`agents`, `skills`, `docs`, `briefings`, `discussions`, `schema`, `db`, `config`, `engine`, `simulation`, `client`, `ui`, `audio`, `assets`, `meta`
-
-### Pull requests
-**Use `tea` (Gitea CLI), not `gh` (GitHub CLI).** The remote is Gitea at `git.schweitz.internal`.
-
-Always provide all required flags to ensure non-interactive execution:
-```bash
-tea pr create \
-  --repo jpmschweitzer/settled-reach \
-  --login schweitz \
-  --title "feat(scope): short description" \
-  --description "PR body here" \
-  --base main \
-  --head branch-name
-```
-
-### Large content pushes (team pattern)
-When producing many files (wiki pages, content batches, bulk docs):
-1. **Lore librarian** agent (read-only): ingests all source material, answers focused context queries from writers, tracks cross-file consistency
-2. **Multiple writer** agents (parallel, by domain): each gets a task slice, writes directly to disk using the Write tool — one file at a time, write often, no text accumulation
-3. **Reviewer** agents (blocked until writing done): check voice consistency, attribute uniformity, style
-
-Key: writers use Write tool directly (no transcription bottleneck), librarian catches contradictions early, split work by domain not volume.
-
-### Local services
