# Stig — Round 3: Final Client Test Spec, Anti-Tedium UI, Checklist, Fog Constants

**Workshop:** QA Strategy & Test Architecture
**Round:** 3 (Prioritization)
**Date:** 2026-02-17

---

## 1. Client Test Suite — Final 38 Tests

My original 32 + Tyre's 6 additions + my 3 from Round 2 = 41 candidates. Deduplicated to 38 (my "fog hidden state" test is subsumed by the existing 3 fog tests, and my 2 anti-tedium tests fold into the UI category).

### P0 — Sprint 8 (ship with Gauntlet infrastructure)

Must exist before any other client testing is meaningful. These guard shipped bug fixes.

| # | Function Name | Category | Asserts | Setup |
|---|--------------|----------|---------|-------|
| 1 | `test_monologue_not_lost_on_snapshot_overwrite` | UI: Monologue | `receive_bytes()` with monologue, then `receive_bytes()` without → `_last_snapshot` still carries monologue (carry-forward logic) | SimBridge in live mode mock. Two PackedByteArrays: first with monologue dict, second without. |
| 2 | `test_camera_static_during_pause` | Camera | Apply snapshot with `tick_rate: "Paused"`, inject MoveNorth, call `_process()` → `camera.global_position` unchanged | Scene instance from main.tscn. Set `GameState.game_time.tick_rate = "Paused"` before process. |

### P1 — Sprint 8-9 (information boundary + core rendering)

These enforce the perception/fog contract that makes the game work.

| # | Function Name | Category | Asserts | Setup |
|---|--------------|----------|---------|-------|
| 3 | `test_fog_visibility_forward_tile` | Fog state | `FogState._vis_bytes` at Forward-sector position == `FogState.VIS_FORWARD` (255) | Set `GameState.visible_positions` + `visibility_sectors` with one Forward tile, call `FogState.update_from_state()`. |
| 4 | `test_fog_visibility_peripheral_tile` | Fog state | `_vis_bytes` at Peripheral-sector position == `FogState.VIS_PERIPHERAL` (180) | Same as above with Peripheral sector. |
| 5 | `test_fog_exploration_persistence` | Fog state | Frame 1: tile visible (`EXP_VISIBLE`=255). Frame 2: tile not visible → `_exp_bytes` == `FogState.EXP_EXPLORED` (128) | Two `update_from_state()` calls with different visible_positions. |
| 6 | `test_fog_hidden_tile_value` | Fog state | Tile never in visible_positions → `_vis_bytes` == `FogState.VIS_HIDDEN` (0) | Default state after `_resize()`. |
| 7 | `test_entity_removed_when_leaving_visibility` | Entity rendering | `update_entities()` with entity, then without → `entity_nodes` empty, `get_node_or_null("Entity_N")` returns null (freed, not hidden) | EntityRenderer instance, two update calls. |
| 8 | `test_entity_created_on_first_appearance` | Entity rendering | Empty renderer → `update_entities()` with 1 entity → `entity_nodes.size() == 1`, child exists in tree | EntityRenderer instance. |
| 9 | `test_pending_recognition_blob_rendering` | Entity rendering | `GameState.pending_recognitions` with 1 entry → FogEntities node shows a blob child (not a full entity sprite) | Main scene or FogEntities subscene. Apply snapshot with `pending_recognitions` array. |

### P2 — Sprint 9 (camera, entity visuals, UI)

Comprehensive coverage of rendering transforms.

| # | Function Name | Category | Asserts | Setup |
|---|--------------|----------|---------|-------|
| 10 | `test_camera_position_after_ready` | Camera | `camera.global_position == player_position * TILE_SIZE` after `_ready()` | Scene instantiate from main.tscn. SimBridge test mode. |
| 11 | `test_camera_anchored_flag_after_ready` | Camera | `_camera_anchored == true` | Same as above. |
| 12 | `test_camera_smoothing_off_after_ready` | Camera | `camera.position_smoothing_enabled == false` after `_ready()` | Same as above. |
| 13 | `test_camera_smoothing_reenabled_after_process` | Camera | After `_process(0.016)`: `camera.position_smoothing_enabled == true` | Scene instance, one process call. |
| 14 | `test_camera_follows_player_movement` | Camera | After MoveNorth + `_process()`: `camera.global_position == new player_position * TILE_SIZE` | Scene instance. Inject MoveNorth via SimBridge test queue. |
| 15 | `test_camera_position_after_rapid_snapshots` | Camera | Three `receive_bytes()` calls, one `_process()` → camera at LAST snapshot's player position. Verify convergence (not just no crash). | SimBridge live mock. Three snapshot byte arrays with different player positions. |
| 16 | `test_camera_position_after_hub_teleport` | Camera | After teleport (large position jump): camera snaps immediately (no slow lerp from old position) | Scene instance. Set `_camera_anchored = false` to trigger re-anchor. |
| 17 | `test_entity_peripheral_alpha` | Entity rendering | Entity with `visibility: "Peripheral"` → `modulate.a == Constants.PERIPHERAL_ALPHA` (0.5) | EntityRenderer instance, one entity with Peripheral visibility. |
| 18 | `test_entity_forward_full_alpha` | Entity rendering | Entity with `visibility: "Forward"` → `modulate.a == 1.0` | EntityRenderer instance, one entity with Forward visibility. |
| 19 | `test_entity_color_player` | Entity rendering | `kind.variant == "Player"` → `color == Constants.ENTITY_COLOR_PLAYER` | EntityRenderer instance with Player entity. |
| 20 | `test_entity_color_npc_unknown` | Entity rendering | `kind.variant == "Npc"` → `color == Constants.ENTITY_COLOR_UNKNOWN` | EntityRenderer instance with Npc entity. |
| 21 | `test_entity_color_object` | Entity rendering | `kind.variant == "Object"` → `color == Constants.ENTITY_COLOR_OBJECT` | EntityRenderer instance with Object entity. |
| 22 | `test_entity_modulate_remembered` | Entity rendering | Entity with visibility "Remembered" → visually distinct from "Visible" (different modulate or shader param) | EntityRenderer instance. Requires Remembered visibility in snapshot (not yet on wire — gate test on implementation). |
| 23 | `test_recognition_transition_animation` | Entity lerp | Entity moves from `pending_recognitions` to `entities` between ticks → visual transitions from blob to full entity over ~0.3s | FogEntities + EntityRenderer. Two sequential snapshots: first with pending_recognition, second with entity. |
| 24 | `test_monologue_consumed_once_per_tick` | UI: Monologue | Set `current_monologue`, call `_consume_monologue()` twice with same tick → `show_monologue()` called once | Main scene instance. Set `GameState.current_monologue` and `current_tick`. |
| 25 | `test_interaction_list_shows_verbs` | UI: Interaction | `nearby_interactions` with 2 verbs → interaction list visible, shows both verbs sorted by priority | Main scene or InteractionList subscene. Set GameState.nearby_interactions. |
| 26 | `test_interaction_list_hidden_when_empty` | UI: Interaction | `nearby_interactions == []` → interaction list not visible | Same, with empty array. |
| 27 | `test_dialogue_shows_on_snapshot` | UI: Dialogue | Set `current_dialogue` → `dialogue_box.is_dialogue_active() == true` | Main scene instance. Set GameState.current_dialogue. |
| 28 | `test_dialogue_dismissed_sends_end_input` | UI: Dialogue | Emit `dialogue_dismissed` signal → SimBridge receives `DialogueEnd` input | Main scene instance. Emit signal, check SimBridge test queue. |
| 29 | `test_dialogue_option_sends_response` | UI: Dialogue | Emit `option_selected(1, "text")` → SimBridge receives `DialogueResponse` with `index=1` | Main scene instance. Emit signal, check SimBridge test queue. |
| 30 | `test_stance_indicator_matches_game_state` | UI: Stance | Set `player_stance = "Sprint"`, call `update_from_state()` → indicator displays Sprint | StanceIndicator subscene or main scene. |
| 31 | `test_tick_rate_hud_indicator` | UI: HUD | `game_time.tick_rate` changes → HUD element reflects Full/Half/Paused | HUD subscene. Set GameState.game_time. |
| 32 | `test_inventory_full_visual_state` | UI: Inventory | 9/9 inventory → visual feedback (e.g., "FULL" indicator or slot highlight change) | InventoryGrid subscene. Set GameState.player_inventory with 9 items. |
| 33 | `test_sprint_interaction_suppression` | UI: Interaction | `player_stance == "Sprint"` → interaction list hidden/empty regardless of nearby_interactions content | Main scene or InteractionList. Set stance to Sprint, set nearby_interactions with data. |

### P3 — Sprint 10+ (constants checks, animation polish, anti-tedium)

Low regression risk or dependent on unimplemented features.

| # | Function Name | Category | Asserts | Setup |
|---|--------------|----------|---------|-------|
| 34 | `test_fog_overlay_z_index` | Z-layer | FogOverlay node `z_index == Constants.Z_FOG` (900) | Main scene instance, traverse scene tree. |
| 35 | `test_fog_entities_z_index` | Z-layer | FogEntities node `z_index == Constants.Z_FOG_ENTITIES` (950) | Same. |
| 36 | `test_insert_overlay_canvas_layer` | Z-layer | InsertOverlay CanvasLayer `.layer == Constants.CANVAS_INSERT` (10) | Same. |
| 37 | `test_ui_layer_canvas_layer` | Z-layer | UILayer CanvasLayer `.layer == Constants.CANVAS_UI` (20) | Same. |
| 38 | `test_entity_lerp_target_set_on_update` | Entity lerp | After `update_entities()`: `_entity_targets[id] == Vector2(x * TILE_SIZE + ENTITY_OFFSET, y * TILE_SIZE + ENTITY_OFFSET)` | EntityRenderer instance, one entity. |

**Deferred (not in the 38):**
- `test_entity_snap_on_first_appearance` — covered by #8 (entity created) + #38 (target set). Snap-vs-lerp is implicitly tested.
- `test_entity_lerp_converges` — animation polish, hard to assert deterministically across frame timings. Manual visual verification.
- `test_bug_report_captures_snapshot` — depends on BugReport autoload (Sprint 9+). Add when feature ships.
- `test_gauntlet_progress_hidden_when_not_gauntlet` — depends on GauntletProgress overlay (Sprint 9+).

## 2. Anti-Tedium UI — Build-Ready Specs

### 2.1 Room Reset Trigger

**Scene tree changes:**
```
# No new nodes. Reuses existing systems:
# - TileRenderer: new tile type
# - InteractionList: shows "Reset Room" verb
# - MonologueDisplay: shows feedback text
```

**tile_renderer.gd changes:**
```gdscript
# Add to TILE_TYPE_MAP:
"reset_plate": TileType.RESET_PLATE

# Add enum value:
enum TileType { FLOOR = 0, WALL = 1, DOOR = 2, OBJECT = 3, RESET_PLATE = 4 }
```

Atlas tile (4,0): floor-colored base with 1px amber (`INSERT_COLOR_HOVER`) inset border. Subtle — visible when you're looking, invisible when you're not.

**Input handling:** None. The reset plate is an interaction target. When the player stands on it, the server includes it in `nearby_interactions` with verb `"ResetRoom"`. The existing interaction list + Interact input flow handles it. No new client input code.

**Wire format:** Standard `Interact` action with `action_data: { target_entity_id: <plate_id>, verb: "ResetRoom" }`. Server handles the reset. Client just renders the next snapshot (which shows tick-0 state).

**Visual feedback:** Server sends a monologue in the post-reset snapshot: `"Systems recalibrated."` (1.5s). The existing MonologueDisplay renders it. Additionally, a 0.15s amber screen flash:

```gdscript
# In main.gd, after applying snapshot:
if _detected_room_reset(snapshot):
    _flash_overlay(Constants.INSERT_COLOR_HOVER, 0.15)

func _flash_overlay(color: Color, duration: float) -> void:
    # Uses a ColorRect on InsertOverlay, tween alpha 0.1 -> 0.0
    var flash := $InsertOverlay/FlashRect  # pre-existing ColorRect, normally transparent
    flash.color = Color(color, 0.1)
    var tween := create_tween()
    tween.tween_property(flash, "color:a", 0.0, duration)
```

**Room reset detection:** Compare `snapshot.tick` — if it decreased or a special `room_reset: true` flag is present in the snapshot, trigger the flash. Simplest: server sets `room_reset: true` in the snapshot after a reset. Client checks once, fires flash, done.

**New scene node:** `InsertOverlay/FlashRect` — a `ColorRect` covering the viewport, `color = Color.TRANSPARENT`, `mouse_filter = IGNORE`. Used by both reset flash and hub teleport fade.

### 2.2 Hub Teleport

**Input handling:**

```gdscript
# input_mapper.gd — add to Action enum:
TELEPORT_HUB = 14  # (next available value)

# input_mapper.gd — add to _input mapping:
if event.is_action_pressed("teleport_hub"):
    queue_action(Action.TELEPORT_HUB)
```

```gdscript
# sim_bridge.gd — add to _action_enum_to_wire():
InputMapper.Action.TELEPORT_HUB: return "TeleportToHub"
```

**Godot input map:** Add `teleport_hub` action mapped to `KEY_HOME` in `project.godot` or via code in `_ready()`.

**Visual feedback — fade transition:**

```gdscript
# main.gd — after detecting large position jump (teleport):
func _detect_teleport(old_pos: Vector2, new_pos: Vector2) -> bool:
    return old_pos.distance_to(new_pos) > 5.0  # > 5 tiles = teleport, not walk

# On teleport detected:
func _teleport_transition() -> void:
    _camera_anchored = false  # Force re-anchor (snap, no smooth)
    var fade := $InsertOverlay/FlashRect
    fade.color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1.0)  # Instant black
    var tween := create_tween()
    tween.tween_property(fade, "color:a", 0.0, 0.3)  # Fade back in over 0.3s
```

**Camera behavior:** Setting `_camera_anchored = false` triggers the re-anchor path in `_process()` — camera snaps to new position instantly (smoothing disabled for 1 frame, same as startup). No lerp from old position.

**Gauntlet-only gate:** The `TELEPORT_HUB` action enum exists in InputMapper always, but the Godot input mapping is only added when `gauntlet_mode == true`. Or simpler: server rejects `TeleportToHub` in non-Gauntlet maps (server-side gate, client sends regardless).

### 2.3 WRONG Button (F12)

**New autoload:** `client/scripts/autoloads/bug_report.gd`

```gdscript
extends Node

const MAX_HISTORY: int = 60
var input_history: Array[Dictionary] = []  # Ring buffer of {tick, action, timestamp}
var _report_dir: String = "user://bug-reports"

func _ready() -> void:
    # Create base directory
    DirAccess.make_dir_recursive_absolute(
        ProjectSettings.globalize_path(_report_dir))

func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    if event.is_action_pressed("bug_report"):
        capture_bug_report()
        get_viewport().set_input_as_handled()

func record_input(input: Dictionary) -> void:
    input_history.append(input)
    if input_history.size() > MAX_HISTORY:
        input_history.pop_front()

func capture_bug_report() -> void:
    # 1. Pause
    SimBridge.send_input({
        "action": InputMapper.Action.PAUSE,
        "timestamp_msec": Time.get_ticks_msec(),
    })

    # 2. Capture data
    var snapshot_json := JSON.stringify(GameState.current_snapshot, "\t")
    var scene_dump := _dump_scene_tree(get_tree().root)
    var inputs_json := JSON.stringify(input_history, "\t")
    var screenshot := get_viewport().get_texture().get_image()

    # 3. Show prompt (modal)
    var prompt := $"/root/Main/ModalLayer/BugReportPrompt"
    prompt.show_prompt(func(description: String):
        _save_report(snapshot_json, scene_dump, inputs_json, screenshot, description)
        # 4. Unpause
        SimBridge.send_input({
            "action": InputMapper.Action.UNPAUSE,
            "timestamp_msec": Time.get_ticks_msec(),
        })
    )

func _save_report(snapshot: String, scene: String, inputs: String,
        screenshot: Image, description: String) -> void:
    var timestamp := Time.get_datetime_string_from_system().replace(":", "-")
    var dir_path := _report_dir + "/gauntlet-" + timestamp
    DirAccess.make_dir_recursive_absolute(
        ProjectSettings.globalize_path(dir_path))

    _write_file(dir_path + "/snapshot.json", snapshot)
    _write_file(dir_path + "/scene_tree.txt", scene)
    _write_file(dir_path + "/inputs.json", inputs)
    _write_file(dir_path + "/description.txt", description)
    screenshot.save_png(ProjectSettings.globalize_path(dir_path + "/screenshot.png"))

func _write_file(path: String, content: String) -> void:
    var file := FileAccess.open(path, FileAccess.WRITE)
    if file:
        file.store_string(content)

func _dump_scene_tree(node: Node, depth: int = 0) -> String:
    var indent := "  ".repeat(depth)
    var line := "%s%s" % [indent, node.name]
    if node is CanvasItem:
        line += " visible=%s mod=%s" % [node.visible, node.modulate]
    if node is Node2D:
        line += " pos=%s" % node.position
    if node is Control:
        line += " pos=%s sz=%s" % [node.position, node.size]
    var result := line + "\n"
    for child in node.get_children():
        result += _dump_scene_tree(child, depth + 1)
    return result
```

**Input map addition:** `bug_report` action → `KEY_F12`

**Modal prompt scene:** `ModalLayer/BugReportPrompt`
```
BugReportPrompt (PanelContainer, visible=false)
  VBoxContainer
    Label "What's wrong? (one line)"
    LineEdit (placeholder: "Describe the issue...")
    HBoxContainer
      Button "Save"
      Button "Cancel"
```

Style: dark panel (`Color(0.08, 0.08, 0.12, 0.95)`), text in `INSERT_COLOR_TEXT`, centered on screen. Modal — blocks input to game while visible.

**Integration with InputMapper:** Call `BugReport.record_input(input_dict)` from `InputMapper.queue_action()` to feed the ring buffer. One line addition.

**Confirmation feedback:** After save, show monologue `"Noted."` (1.0s) via existing MonologueDisplay.

### 2.4 Room Timer + Progress Overlay

**New scene node:** `UILayer/GauntletProgress`
```
GauntletProgress (PanelContainer, visible=false)
  VBoxContainer
    RoomLabel (Label) — "OCCLUSION CORRIDOR"
    RunLabel (Label) — "Run #12  ·  0:47"
    ProgressBar — 4/7
    ProgressLabel (Label) — "4/7"
```

**Position:** Anchored top-right, 8px margin. `anchor_left = 1.0, anchor_right = 1.0, anchor_top = 0.0`. Grows leftward from the right edge.

**Style:**
- Panel: `Color(0.05, 0.05, 0.08, 0.7)`, 4px corner radius
- Room name: `INSERT_COLOR_TEXT` (#c8d0e0), 12px, bold
- Run/timer: `INSERT_COLOR_TEXT`, 10px, regular
- Progress bar fill: `INSERT_COLOR_ACTIVE` (#6bc9a6)
- Progress bar empty: `Color(0.2, 0.2, 0.25)`
- Max width: 220px

**Script:** `client/scripts/ui/gauntlet_progress.gd`

```gdscript
extends PanelContainer

var gauntlet_mode: bool = false
var _current_room: String = ""
var _room_enter_time: float = 0.0
var _run_counts: Dictionary = {}  # room_name -> int
var _room_totals: Dictionary = {}  # room_name -> total checklist items
var _room_checked: Dictionary = {}  # room_name -> checked count

func _ready() -> void:
    gauntlet_mode = OS.get_environment("SR_GAUNTLET") == "1"
    visible = false

func update_from_state() -> void:
    if not gauntlet_mode:
        visible = false
        return

    var room := _detect_room(GameState.player_position)
    if room.is_empty():
        visible = false
        return

    visible = true

    if room != _current_room:
        _current_room = room
        _room_enter_time = Time.get_ticks_msec() / 1000.0
        _run_counts[room] = _run_counts.get(room, 0) + 1

    var elapsed := Time.get_ticks_msec() / 1000.0 - _room_enter_time
    var mins := int(elapsed) / 60
    var secs := int(elapsed) % 60

    $VBoxContainer/RoomLabel.text = room.to_upper()
    $VBoxContainer/RunLabel.text = "Run #%d  ·  %d:%02d" % [
        _run_counts.get(room, 1), mins, secs]

    var total: int = _room_totals.get(room, 0)
    var checked: int = _room_checked.get(room, 0)
    if total > 0:
        $VBoxContainer/ProgressBar.value = float(checked) / float(total)
        $VBoxContainer/ProgressLabel.text = "%d/%d" % [checked, total]
    else:
        $VBoxContainer/ProgressBar.value = 0.0
        $VBoxContainer/ProgressLabel.text = ""

func _detect_room(_player_pos: Vector2) -> String:
    # TODO: Load room bounds from Gauntlet content, match against player position
    return ""
```

**Visibility gate:** `SR_GAUNTLET=1` environment variable. Not visible in normal gameplay.

**Data persistence:** `_run_counts` saved to `user://gauntlet-stats.json` on room change and on `_notification(NOTIFICATION_WM_CLOSE_REQUEST)`.

## 3. Checklist YAML — Final Merged Schema

Merges my Round 1 co-located approach with Ozzie's 4 additions: auto/manual type tags, `if_wrong` field, structured conditions, cross-room items.

### Per-Room Checklist Schema

```yaml
# content/gauntlet/rooms/{room_id}/checklist.yaml

room: occlusion_corridor
description: "Tests LOS, shadowcasting, vision cone, and perception modes"

checks:
  - id: occ_01_hidden_not_visible

      player_facing: East
      entity: hidden-1
      expected: blocked  # blocked | visible | remembered | recognizing
    if_wrong: |
      LOS leaking through wall. Check symmetric shadowcasting
      in server/src/perception/shadowcast.rs.
      Verify wall at designated blocking position exists in room YAML.

  - id: occ_02_guard_visible
    description: "NPC in front of wall IS visible with full alpha"

      player_near: [45, 8]
      entity: guard-1
      expected_sector: Peripheral
    if_wrong: |
      Peripheral dimming not applied. Check Constants.PERIPHERAL_ALPHA
      and entity_renderer.gd modulate.a assignment.

  - id: occ_04_sensor_detects_hidden

    type: manual  # Subjective — tester judges timing
    step: "Walk to fog boundary, wait for recognition"
    guidance: |
      Watch pending_recognitions — elapsed should reach ~6 ticks
      (0.6s at 10 tps). The monologue should fire DURING the delay,
      not after it completes.
    if_wrong: |
      Cognitive delay timing off. Check D-060 values in

      Fog not rendering corridor correctly.
      Check FogState.update_from_state() and fog shader uniforms.

  - id: occ_07_fog_count_decreases_in_narrow
    description: "Fog visible count decreases as corridor narrows"
    type: manual
    step: "Walk deeper into corridor, observe fog count"

| `checks[].type` | `auto` or `manual` | yes | `auto`: test client evaluates from snapshot. `manual`: human judgment |
| `checks[].step` | string | yes | Action the tester takes |
| `checks[].condition` | object | for `auto` | Structured condition for auto-evaluation |
| `checks[].guidance` | string | for `manual` | Instructions for human judgment |
| `checks[].if_wrong` | string | yes | Likely causes + file references |

### Condition Grammar

```yaml
condition:
  player_near: [x, y]           # Player within 2 tiles of position
  player_facing: Direction       # N/NE/E/SE/S/SW/W/NW
  entity: entity-name            # Gauntlet entity constant name
  expected: blocked|visible|remembered|recognizing
  expected_sector: Forward|Peripheral
  perception_mode: Visual|Sensor|...
  fog_visible_count_min: N       # Minimum visible tile count
  fog_visible_count_max: N       # Maximum visible tile count
  inventory_count: N             # Exact inventory count
  inventory_count_min: N
  dialogue_active: true|false
  monologue_contains: "substring"
```

The test client evaluates conditions against the current ObserverSnapshot. The Godot client does NOT evaluate conditions — it only displays the progress count (see section 5).

### Cross-Room Checklist

```yaml
# content/gauntlet/cross_room_checks.yaml

cross_room_checks:
  - id: xr_01_sprint_exit_buffer
    description: "Sprint from Crowd Plaza into Occlusion Corridor — interaction buffer cleared"
    rooms: [crowd_plaza, occlusion_corridor]
    type: manual
    step: "Sprint through Plaza, enter Corridor. Check interaction list is empty during sprint."
    if_wrong: |
      Sprint suppression not clearing buffer on room transition.
      Check D-055 interaction buffer clear in input.rs.

  - id: xr_02_fog_into_dialogue
    description: "Start dialogue while partially fogged — fog state preserved"
    rooms: [fog_theater, dialogue_room]
    type: manual
    step: "Walk from Fog Theater to Dialogue Room. Initiate dialogue. Fog should not reset."
    if_wrong: |
      Fog state being cleared on dialogue open.
      Check fog_state.gd update_from_state() is not skipping during dialogue.

  - id: xr_03_full_inventory_interact
    description: "Full inventory + interaction — Take verb greyed, server still offers it"
    rooms: [inventory_warehouse, interaction_gallery]
    type: auto
    condition:
      inventory_count: 9
      entity: interaction_gallery_crate
      expected: visible
    if_wrong: |
      Server should offer Take even when inventory full (available=true).
      Client should grey it out. Check interaction list rendering.
```

### `make checklist` Implementation

```makefile
checklist:
	@python3 tooling/gen_checklist.py \
		--rooms content/gauntlet/rooms/ \
		--cross content/gauntlet/cross_room_checks.yaml \
		--output docs/qa/gauntlet-checklist.md
	@echo "Checklist: docs/qa/gauntlet-checklist.md"
```

**Output format:** Same as Round 2 spec — markdown with `- [ ]` checkboxes, grouped by room, steps as `###` headings, `if_wrong` in blockquotes under each item. Cross-room items get their own section at the bottom.

## 4. Fog Constants — Definition and Migration

### Constants to add to `client/scripts/autoloads/fog_state.gd`

```gdscript
# Fog texture byte values — visibility and exploration layers.
# Used by fog shader to distinguish visual treatment per tile.
# Test assertions reference these: assert_that(byte).is_equal(FogState.VIS_FORWARD)
const VIS_HIDDEN: int = 0        # Not in LOS — fully fogged
const VIS_PERIPHERAL: int = 180  # In LOS, peripheral sector — light fog dimming
const VIS_FORWARD: int = 255     # In LOS, forward sector — clear vision

const EXP_UNEXPLORED: int = 0   # Never seen — total darkness
const EXP_EXPLORED: int = 128   # Previously seen, now out of LOS — deep fog
const EXP_VISIBLE: int = 255    # Currently in LOS — clear (written each frame)
```

### Files to update

**`client/scripts/autoloads/fog_state.gd`** — 5 replacements:

| Line | Current | Replacement |
|------|---------|-------------|
| 68 | `_vis_bytes.fill(0)` | `_vis_bytes.fill(VIS_HIDDEN)` |
| 75 | `_vis_bytes[py * _width + px] = 255 if sector == "Forward" else 180` | `_vis_bytes[py * _width + px] = VIS_FORWARD if sector == "Forward" else VIS_PERIPHERAL` |
| 87 | `if _exp_bytes[idx] > 128:` | `if _exp_bytes[idx] > EXP_EXPLORED:` |
| 88 | `_exp_bytes[idx] = 128` | `_exp_bytes[idx] = EXP_EXPLORED` |
| 94 | `_exp_bytes[py * _width + px] = 255` | `_exp_bytes[py * _width + px] = EXP_VISIBLE` |

**`client/tests/test_fog_shader.gd`** — use constants in any assertions that reference byte values.

**No other files affected.** The fog shader (`shaders/fog.gdshader`) reads textures, not GDScript constants. The byte values flowing into the texture are the same — just named now.

## 5. Answer: Checklist Overlay in Godot Client?

**Ozzie's question (R2-OQ-06):** Can the Godot client render a checklist progress overlay, or is checklist tracking test-client-only?

**Answer: The Godot client shows a lightweight progress overlay. Full auto-tracking is test-client-only.**

Split:

| Feature | Godot Client | Test Client Binary |
|---------|-------------|-------------------|
| Room name display | Yes — from room bounds | Yes |
| Run counter | Yes — client-local | Yes |
| Timer | Yes — client-local | Yes |
| Progress bar (X/Y) | Yes — loads total count from checklist YAML | Yes |
| Auto-evaluate conditions | **No** — too complex for GDScript, snapshot structure differs | **Yes** — Rust, same crate as ObserverSnapshot types |
| Auto/manual confirm | **No** | **Yes** |
| Per-item checklist display | **No** — just the bar | **Yes** — full `[✓]/[ ]/[?]` list |
| if_wrong guidance | **No** | **Yes** |

**Why the split:** The Godot client's GameState holds the snapshot as a Dictionary. Evaluating structured conditions (`player_near`, `entity expected: blocked`) against Dictionary data is fragile GDScript — no type safety, no access to entity name constants. The test client binary has the same types as the server (`ObserverSnapshot`, entity ID constants), making condition evaluation clean and type-safe.

The Godot client's progress overlay (section 2.4) gets its checked count from the test client via a simple mechanism: the test client writes `gauntlet-stats.json` with per-room progress, the Godot client reads it. Or more simply: the Godot client shows total items per room (loaded from YAML at startup) but doesn't track checked items. The progress bar shows "0/7" until the tester manually marks items done (or it stays as a room-entry indicator only).

**Recommendation:** Ship the Godot overlay with room name + timer + run counter only (Sprint 9). Progress bar comes when the test client ships and can feed it data (Sprint 9-10). Don't block the overlay on checklist auto-tracking.
