Review: client -> main (type: code) — PR #99

Context: Project lead flagged the client agent "made a mess ignoring instructions." Three reviewers deployed including Troblum as external auditor.

Troblum (External Audit): NOT CONFABULATION, BUT BUGGY

"The structural bones are sound — scene tree matches script, compositor integration calls real methods, keyboard handling is correct. But there are real bugs. Not hallucinations — bugs. The kind that come from implementing 1455 lines of UI against a spec and no running assets."

Hoshe (Code Quality): REQUEST_CHANGES

# File Severity Issue
1 character_creation.gd:1269 critical Stale color in closure — picker re-opens with original color, not current
2 character_creation.gd:1068 critical _on_modal_ok get_child(0) returns VBoxContainer not ColorRect — recent colors never populate
3 character_creation.gd:364 warning Head fallback IDs starter_a don't match spec (head_001) — silent compositor failure
4 character_creation.gd:419 warning Hair fallback IDs short_a don't match spec (bob, long, etc.) — same issue
5 character_creation.gd:461,540 warning No-op self-assignments (hair_tint = hair_tint) — dead code with misleading comments
6 character_creation.gd:551 warning Hair highlight override — color param received but never stored
7 character_creation.gd:647,692,819,854 suggestion Fragile get_child(0) chain for dock containers
8 test:474 suggestion test_r_key_triggers_randomise asserts true == true — tests nothing

Tyre (Architecture): REQUEST_CHANGES

# File Severity Issue
1 character_creation.gd:28 critical D-146 violation — default camera is portrait (-5°), should be gameplay angle (-30°)
2 character_creation.gd:1425 critical Invented "slot field in coverage.json" TODO — spec doesn't have this, use name-prefix convention
3 character_creation.gd:88 critical D-165 palette uses HSV, spec defines HSL — colors won't match approved hex values
4 character_creation.gd:1269 critical Stale closure (confirmed from earlier review)
5 character_creation.gd:28 warning "Overhead" preset at pitch 0° is dead-level horizontal, not top-down — needs ~-80°
6 character_creation.gd:551 warning Hair highlight override is a no-op
7 character_creation.gd:647 warning Tab child index fragility
8 character_creation.gd:1393 warning DirAccess won't work in exported builds
9 character_creation.gd:1169 warning Randomise re-scans filesystem on every keypress
10 character_visual.gd:9 suggestion Segment count "21" in docstring should be "18"

Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED

Blocking fixes (must fix before merge):

  1. Stale closure in _make_color_swatch — read current color at click time
  2. _on_modal_ok child traversal — navigate through VBoxContainer to ColorRect
  3. D-165 palette — use HSL or hardcode hex values from the decision
  4. Head/hair fallback IDs — match actual asset spec names (head_001, bob, etc.)
  5. Coverage.json TODO — remove invented "slot field" reference, use name-prefix convention
  6. "Overhead" camera preset — change pitch from 0° to ~-80°
  7. D-146 default camera — clarify or change default to gameplay angle (-30°)

Important follow-ups (track as tickets):

  • Descriptor persistence — server ticket: receive and store descriptor on new game, include in snapshots
  • Hair highlight: either add descriptor field or make swatch read-only
  • DirAccess → manifest JSON for export builds
  • No-op self-assignments — remove dead code
  • Accessory slot filtering — _get_accessory_ids_for_slot() ignores slot param

fix(ui): address PR #99 review — character creation editor fixes 33d7d6996b 
13 fixes from PR #99 review on #705 (character editor):

- #10/#11: Add _get_swatch_color() helper; fix stale closure in
  _make_color_swatch (reads current color at click time, not
  construction time); fix _on_modal_ok to use helper instead of
  wrong get_child(0) traversal
- #12: Replace HSV palette with D-165 hardcoded hex values (6×9
  rows, muted HSL per spec — reds/greens/blues/purples/browns/grays)
- #13: Fix fallback asset IDs to match actual files — hair: bald/
  bob/buzzed/long; heads: head_001–004; facial hair: beard/moustache/
  mutton_chops (stubble removed — no asset)
- #14: Remove invented "slot field" TODO comment; replace with
  name-prefix convention note
- #15: Fix overhead camera pitch 0.0°→-80.0° (0° was horizontal,
  not top-down as intended per D-158)
- #16: Make hair highlight swatch non-interactive (_make_display_swatch);
  remove _on_hair_highlight_changed and _hair_highlight_auto flag
- #17: Remove no-op self-assignment in _on_hair_selected; remove
  redundant assignment inside _hair_highlight_auto block
- #18: Store _clothing_dock_container/_accessory_dock_container as
  instance vars — eliminates fragile get_child(3).get_child(0) chain
- #19: Fix test_r_key_triggers_randomise — replaces assert_bool(true)
  with a real assertion checking body_type or skin_tone changed
- #20: Cache scan results in _cached_hair_ids/_cached_head_ids during
  tab build; _on_randomise() reads cache (no re-scan per keypress)
- #21: Fix character_visual.gd docstring "21 segments" → "18 segments"
- #22: Fix _get_accessory_ids_for_slot — apply slot name-prefix
  filtering instead of returning all accessories for every slot

Stig's review fix caught the first reference (line 9) but missed the
class docstring at line 27. Both now say 18 segments per D-160.

Review: client -> main — PR #99 Round 2

Hoshe (Code Quality): REQUEST_CHANGES

All 14 original bugs functionally resolved. Three doc/comment issues remain:

# File Severity Issue
1 character_creation.gd:125 warning Inline comment still says 2=overhead(0°) — should be -80°
2 character_visual.gd:37 warning Docstring arithmetic 17+2+2=21 contradicts the fixed headline of 18. Should be 14 base + 2 swappable torso + 2 face = 18
3 decisions/architecture.md D-158 warning Spec says overhead is 0°, code is -80° — convention mismatch needs clarifying

Tyre (Architecture): APPROVE

All 4 blocking issues resolved. Two new suggestions:

# File Severity Issue
1 character_creation.gd:125 suggestion Same stale 0° comment (overlap with Hoshe #1)
2 _recent_colors suggestion Not persisted per D-165 spec — needs follow-up ticket

Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED

Three one-line fixes remaining — all comments/docs, no code changes:

  1. Fix _cam_pitch_idx comment: 2=overhead(0°) → 2=overhead(-80°)
  2. Fix character_visual.gd:37 arithmetic: 17 base → 14 base (14+2+2=18)
  3. Update D-158 in architecture.md: clarify overhead angle is -80° in code convention

Plus a follow-up ticket needed for _recent_colors persistence per D-165 spec.

Review: client -> main — PR #99 Round 3

Hoshe items verified directly:

  1. _cam_pitch_idx comment: FIXED — says -80°
  2. Segment arithmetic: FIXED — says 14 base + 2 + 2 = 18
  3. D-158 angle convention: pre-existing ambiguity — D-158 says 0° for overhead, code uses -80°. Will be clarified on main post-merge.

Verdict: APPROVED

All code and comment fixes verified. D-158 angle convention text to be clarified on main after merge.
