Unit suite: pin facing to North via the T-1088 facing_angle_provider seam.
D-054 makes movement facing-relative, and _update_facing_from_mouse() derives
facing from engine/session globals (viewport mouse position vs the
GameState.player_position anchor) — in full-suite order 'press W' resolved to
MOVE_NORTHWEST (the gate failure at line 187).
Live suite, three independent leaks from the shared autoloads, each of which
passed in isolation and failed in gate order:
- snapshot starvation: poll_snapshot() is consume-and-clear; a node leaked
into the gdUnit tree by an earlier suite steals every snapshot during our
awaits. Capture snapshot_received (fires on every consume, ours or theirs)
alongside a direct poll + explicit SimBridge._process pump.
- tick poisoning: SimBridge left test_mode=true + CONNECTED lets the leaked
poller apply TestHarness mock snapshots (~tick 15+) into
GameState.current_tick during our spawn awaits; the fresh server's own
ticks (1..5) then stamp backward and its InputQueue panics ('tick ordering
violated', last=16 new=3). Neutralize SimBridge before the first await,
zero current_tick, clear _last_snapshot/_outbound_buffer both directions.
- crash-on-assert-failure: gdUnit asserts don't halt; guard the player-entity
dereferences so a missing Player reports cleanly instead of a runtime error.
Full suite: 3368/3368.
