Hover marker + optimal path line over the KNOWN tile store only — the
character plans through what they know; fog is unpathable (info boundary at
the planning layer; the follower additionally revalidates every remaining
tile per step). Pure static 8-dir A*: uniform cost 1 incl. diagonals (D-248
time-optimal, no sqrt2), no corner-cutting, terrain-cost provider seam for
Phase-4 terrain. Execution streams ordinary Move* steps through the existing
throttle — zero protocol change, server validates every step.
RMB vocabulary (live-session spec): click = walk there at current stance;
double-click = sprint there (ToggleStanceUp burst — server toggle handler
verified cooldown-free so bursts climb deterministically — with net-zero
restore on arrival; a double upgrades the active follow in place);
long-press >=400ms = go there then Crouch on arrival, no restore (input-
vocabulary prototype; real cover mechanics are future combat design).
Cancellation: WASD override (stance kept), invalidation, teleport,
suppression. Two additive InputMapper seams (queue_move_step,
queue_stance_toggle); mouse unproject shared with the facing provider
(ground_hit_local). 44 new gdUnit tests across finder + follower ladders.
