+# NEO-122 — Manual QA checklist
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Key | NEO-122 |
+| Title | E7M1-11: Client quest progress + accept HUD (Godot) |
+| Linear | https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-122/e7m1-11-client-quest-progress-accept-hud-godot |
+| Plan | `docs/plans/NEO-122-implementation-plan.md` |
+| Branch | `NEO-122-client-quest-progress-accept-hud` |
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- **Fresh dev player:** stop any running server, then start a new instance so in-memory quest progress resets.
+- **No Bruno/curl** for this checklist — accept and progress use Godot **Q** / **Shift+Q** and gameplay actions only.
+- NEO-119 quest-progress GET, NEO-120 accept POST, and NEO-115 quest-definitions GET landed on `main`.
+
+## Expected quest HUD progression
+
+| After | `QuestProgressLabel` | `QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel` |
+|-------|----------------------|----------------------------|
+| Boot | All four quests **`not started`** (display names when defs loaded) | **`Quest accept: — (Q gather / Shift+Q next)`** |
+| **Q** accept gather | **`Intro: Salvage Run: active step 1`** | **`Quest accept: Intro: Salvage Run accepted`** |
+| Gather scrap (**R** on resource node ×3) | Gather objective counter increases (e.g. **`gather_intro_obj_scrap=3`**) | unchanged |
+| Gather quest completes | **`Intro: Salvage Run: completed`** | unchanged |
+| **Shift+Q** accept refine (after gather complete) | **`Intro: Refine Stock: active step 1`** | **`Quest accept: Intro: Refine Stock accepted`** |
+| Craft **`refine_scrap_standard`** (Economy HUD) | Refine quest completes when recipe succeeds | unchanged |
+| Duplicate **Q** on gather | Gather row stays **`completed`** | **`Quest accept: denied — already_completed`** (or **`already_active`**) |
+
+## Checklist
+
+1. Start server: `cd server/NeonSprawl.Server && dotnet run`.
+2. Run Godot main scene (**F5**). Confirm **`QuestProgressLabel`** shows four **`not started`** lines and **`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`** shows the idle hint (in **`HudRootScroll`**, below encounter loot labels). Economy panel pinned bottom-left (not off-screen).
+3. Press **Q**. Verify gather intro becomes **`active step 1`** and accept feedback shows success.
+4. Gather scrap until gather quest completes (resource node **R**). Verify counter updates on **`QuestProgressLabel`** after each successful gather (may lag one GET).
+5. Press **Shift+Q** before gather is complete — verify **`Quest accept: denied — prerequisite_incomplete`** for refine (or **`no eligible quest`** if refine is not yet eligible).
+6. After gather completes, press **Shift+Q**. Verify refine quest becomes **`active`**.
+7. Open **Economy HUD** recipe panel — **Refine Scrap (Standard)** is the **first** row (scroll starts at top). Craft when **≥5** scrap in bag.
+8. Craft **`refine_scrap_standard`** with Economy HUD open. Verify refine quest **`completed`** after successful craft.
+9. Press **Q** again on already-completed gather. Verify deny feedback on **`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`** without Bruno.
+10. Optional: stop server while Godot running, press **Q** — verify **`Quests: error — …`** or **`Quest accept: failed — …`** visible on HUD.
+11. Optional: block **`GET /game/world/quest-definitions`** only while progress GET succeeds — verify **`definitions error — …`** under **`QuestProgressLabel`** with raw quest ids as fallback.
+12. Toggle **Economy HUD** off/on — debug labels in **`HudRootScroll`** remain; recipe repopulate + scroll reset still works.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Combat intro (**`prototype_quest_combat_intro`**) has no prerequisites — **Shift+Q** may offer it before refine if gather is still active; server deny is authoritative when prerequisites block accept.
+- Full four-quest chain capstone: [NEO-123 manual QA](NEO-123.md).
+- Encounter progress HUD regression: [NEO-110 manual QA](NEO-110.md).
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- [ ] Steps 1–9 completable in one session without Bruno/curl.
+- [ ] Quest status visible after **Q** accept and updates after gather/craft without manual refresh key.
+- [ ] Failed GET/accept shows visible HUD error copy.
+- [ ] Economy HUD craft panel visible for step 7–8 (recipes first row, no overlap with quest labels).

+| **Module** | [E7.M1 — QuestStateMachine](../decomposition/modules/E7_M1_QuestStateMachine.md) · Epic 7 Slice 1 · backlog **E7M1-11** |
+| **Branch** | `NEO-122-client-quest-progress-accept-hud` |
+| **Server deps** | [NEO-119](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-119) — `GET /game/players/{id}/quest-progress` (**landed on `main`**); [NEO-120](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-120) — `POST …/quests/{questId}/accept` (**landed on `main`**); [NEO-115](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-115) — `GET /game/world/quest-definitions` (**landed on `main`**) |
+| **Pattern** | [NEO-110](NEO-110-implementation-plan.md) — thin HTTP client, `main.gd` HUD render, event-driven refresh; [NEO-74](NEO-74-implementation-plan.md) — world-definitions client + POST mutation client; [NEO-72](NEO-72-implementation-plan.md) — display-name cache for HUD lines |

+
+## Kickoff clarifications
+
+| Topic | Question | Agent recommendation | Answer |
+|--------|----------|----------------------|--------|
+| **Quest definitions client** | Include optional `quest_definitions_client.gd`? | **Include** — NEO-115 GET landed; `recipe_definitions_client.gd` precedent; readable four-quest HUD. | **Adopted** — include |
+| **Accept key bindings** | **Q** / **Shift+Q** semantics? | **Q** = explicit `prototype_quest_gather_intro`; **Shift+Q** = first catalog-order `not_started` quest with all prerequisites `completed` in current snapshot. | **Adopted** |
+| **HUD quest list scope** | How many quests on **`QuestProgressLabel`**? | **All four** catalog quests, compact status per row (matches GET roster; supports chain visibility for NEO-123). | **Adopted** |
+
+**Additional defaults (no kickoff question — settled by backlog / precedent):**
+
+- **Refresh strategy:** boot hydrate + refresh after gather (interaction success → inventory finalize path), craft success, cast with **`targetDefeated`**, and successful accept POST — mirrors NEO-110 encounter + NEO-73 skill refresh; no periodic poll.
+- **Error surfacing:** sync/accept failures paint visible HUD copy (`error — {reason}`) matching interaction/gather feedback pattern.
+- **Accept POST body:** optional v1 `{ "schemaVersion": 1 }` (NEO-120); structured deny is HTTP **200** with **`accepted: false`**.
+- **HUD placement:** **`UICanvas/HudRoot`** after **`EncounterCompleteLabel`**, before **`NpcStateLabel`** — quest spans gather/craft/combat loop (NEO-110 combat-area precedent extended).
+- **Server changes:** none — client-only story.
+
+## Goal, scope, and out-of-scope
+
+**Goal:** Godot shows **server-owned** quest progress and accept feedback using **`GET …/quest-progress`** and **`POST …/quests/{questId}/accept`** — player-visible status after accept and after gather/craft/encounter objective events without Bruno.
+
+**In scope (from Linear + [E7M1-11](E7M1-prototype-backlog.md#e7m1-11--client-quest-progress-accept-hud-godot)):**
+
+- **`quest_progress_client.gd`:** GET snapshot parse v1; **`quest_row(quest_id, snapshot)`** helper; POST accept with optional v1 body; signals **`quest_progress_received`** / **`quest_sync_failed`** / **`quest_accept_result_received`** / **`quest_accept_failed`**; **`request_sync_from_server()`**, **`request_accept(quest_id)`**; **`push_warning`** on failures.
+- **`quest_definitions_client.gd`:** GET **`/game/world/quest-definitions`**; cache ordered quest rows; **`display_name_for(quest_id)`**; signals **`definitions_ready`** / **`definitions_sync_failed`**.
+- **`QuestProgressLabel`** — all four quests, compact status/step/counter summary.
+- **`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`** — accept success/deny/failure copy.
+- **`main.gd`:** boot hydrate (defs + progress); event-driven GET refresh; **Q** / **Shift+Q** accept bindings in **`_unhandled_key_input`**; eligible-quest picker for Shift+Q (catalog order + prerequisite check against snapshot).
+- GdUnit tests with HTTP doubles ([testing-expectations.md](../../.cursor/rules/testing-expectations.md)).
+- **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`** — Godot steps (server + client; no Bruno).
+- **`client/README.md`** quest HUD subsection.
+
+**Out of scope (from Linear + backlog):**
+
+- Quest journal art, map pins, NPC dialog; final quest picker UI.
+- Abandon/reset POST.
+- Server route/DTO changes.
+- Full four-quest capstone script (**[NEO-123](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-123)**).
+- Periodic quest poll timer.
+
+## Acceptance criteria checklist
+
+- [x] Player sees quest status change after accept without Bruno.
+- [x] Objective progress updates after gather/craft/encounter in Godot session.
+- [x] Failed GET/accept surfaces visible HUD error (match interaction client pattern).
+- [x] `docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md` Godot steps exercisable (human QA passed 2026-06-07).
+
+## Implementation reconciliation (shipped)
+
+- **`quest_progress_client.gd`:** GET parse v1 + POST accept; separate sync/accept HTTP; **`quest_row`**; signals.
+- **`quest_definitions_client.gd`:** GET world quest-definitions; **`display_name_for`** + **`quests_snapshot()`**.
+- **`main.gd`:** boot hydrate; Q / Shift+Q accept; refresh after gather/craft/**`targetDefeated`**/**encounter `completed`**/accept; HUD render.
+- **Scene:** **`QuestProgressClient`**, **`QuestDefinitionsClient`**, **`QuestProgressLabel`**, **`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`** after encounter labels.
+- **Tests:** `client/test/quest_progress_client_test.gd` (12 cases across both suites), `client/test/quest_definitions_client_test.gd`.
+- **Docs:** `client/README.md` quest HUD section; `docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`.
+
+### NEO-122 follow-up (economy HUD layout — manual QA step 7)
+
+During NEO-122 QA, **`refine_scrap_standard`** was unreachable when the economy block sat below the viewport inside the tall **`HudRoot`** stack. Follow-up commits (post–first review) refactored prototype HUD layout **without changing quest contracts**:
+
+- **`HudRootScroll`** — **`ScrollContainer`** wrapping debug/combat/quest labels; height clamped above the economy panel.
+- **`EconomyHudSection`** — reparented to **`UICanvas`**; pinned bottom-left via **`prototype_economy_hud_section.gd`** **`_apply_viewport_layout`** (explicit **`position`/`size`**, opaque panel fill, **`z_index`**).
+- **`BodyScroll/Body`** — single economy scroll; child order **Recipes → Inventory → Skills → Gig XP** so craft rows appear first.
+- **`craft_recipe_panel.gd`** — flattened to **`VBoxContainer`** + **`RecipeRows`** (no nested scroll); populate resets economy body scroll to recipes via parent **`scroll_body_to_recipes()`**.
+- **Tests:** `client/test/craft_recipe_panel_test.gd`; viewport layout tests in **`prototype_economy_hud_section_test.gd`**.
+- **Regression:** spot-check [NEO-74](../manual-qa/NEO-74.md), [NEO-75](../manual-qa/NEO-75.md), [NEO-110](../manual-qa/NEO-110.md) after merge (collapsed economy toggle, feedback labels in **`HudRootScroll`**, encounter labels scroll when stack is tall).
+
+## Technical approach
+
+### Server contract (landed — NEO-119 / NEO-120 / NEO-115)
+
+- **`GET /game/players/{id}/quest-progress`** → **`schemaVersion` 1**, **`playerId`**, **`quests[]`** with **`questId`**, **`status`** (`not_started` | `active` | `completed`), **`currentStepIndex`**, **`objectiveCounters`**, optional **`completedAt`**.
+- **`POST /game/players/{id}/quests/{questId}/accept`** → **`schemaVersion` 1**, **`accepted`**, optional **`reasonCode`**, optional **`quest`** row (same shape as GET entry). HTTP **200** on structured deny.
+- **`GET /game/world/quest-definitions`** → **`schemaVersion` 1**, **`quests[]`** with **`id`**, **`displayName`**, **`prerequisiteQuestIds`**, nested **`steps`**.
+
+### Client constants (`main.gd`)
+
+```gdscript
+const PROTOTYPE_QUEST_GATHER_ID := "prototype_quest_gather_intro"
+```
+
+### 1. `quest_progress_client.gd`
+
+- Mirror **`encounter_progress_client.gd`** for GET: injectable HTTP, **`_sync_busy`** guard, 404 handling.
+- Add POST accept on same node with separate **`_accept_busy`** guard (craft-client precedent — do not block GET refresh during accept round-trip).
+- **`parse_quest_progress_json(text)`** static: require **`schemaVersion` 1**, **`quests`** array, non-empty **`playerId`**.
+- **`parse_quest_accept_json(text)`** static: require **`schemaVersion` 1**, **`accepted`** bool present.
+- **`quest_row(quest_id, snapshot)`** → row dict or `{}`.
+- **`request_accept(quest_id)`** → POST with `{ "schemaVersion": 1 }`; returns **`true`** when queued.
+
+### 2. `quest_definitions_client.gd`
+
+- Mirror **`recipe_definitions_client.gd`**: GET **`/game/world/quest-definitions`**, cache **`quests`** array in catalog order.
+- **`display_name_for(quest_id)`** — fallback raw id.
+- **`quests_snapshot()`** → cached array copy for eligible-quest iteration in **`main.gd`**.
+
+### 3. Boot + refresh wiring (`main.gd`)
+
+- **`_setup_quest_progress_sync()`** from **`_ready()`** after authority HTTP config.
+- Nodes in **`main.tscn`**: **`QuestProgressClient`**, **`QuestDefinitionsClient`**; **`QuestProgressLabel`**, **`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`** in **`HudRoot`** after **`EncounterCompleteLabel`**.
+- Boot: **`request_sync_from_server()`** on both clients (parallel with encounter/gig boot).
+- **`_request_quest_progress_refresh()`** helper; call from:
+  - **`_on_interaction_result_for_gather`** when interaction allowed (alongside skill progression refresh).
+  - **`_on_craft_result_received`** when **`success`**.
+  - **`_on_cast_result_received`** when **`targetDefeated`** (alongside encounter/gig refresh).
+  - **`_on_encounter_progress_received`** when prototype pocket row **`state == "completed"`** (alongside inventory refresh — belt-and-suspenders when defeat-triggered quest GET was skipped or raced).
+  - **`_on_quest_accept_result_received`** after accept (always re-sync full snapshot even when response includes **`quest`** row).
+- Re-render quest labels when **`definitions_ready`** if progress snapshot already loaded (NEO-110 item-defs re-paint precedent).
+
+### 4. Accept bindings (`main.gd`)
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| **Q** | **`request_accept(PROTOTYPE_QUEST_GATHER_ID)`** |
+| **Shift+Q** | First quest in **`quest_definitions_client.quests_snapshot()`** catalog order where progress row **`status == "not_started"`** and every **`prerequisiteQuestIds`** entry has **`status == "completed"`** in **`_last_quest_progress_snapshot`**; if none eligible, paint feedback **`Quest accept: no eligible quest`**. |
+
+Debounce: skip if **`quest_progress_client`** accept busy (same as craft busy guard).
+
+### 5. HUD rendering
+
+**`QuestProgressLabel`** (header **`Quests:`**):
+
+| State | Copy (per quest, catalog order) |
+|-------|----------------------------------|
+| sync error | **`Quests: error — {reason}`** |
+| loading | **`Quests: Loading…`** |
+| **`not_started`** | **`{displayName}: not started`** |
+| **`active`** | **`{displayName}: active step {index+1} {counter summary}`** — e.g. objective counter values joined |
+| **`completed`** | **`{displayName}: completed`** (+ optional **`completedAt`** suffix) |
+
+**`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`** (header **`Quest accept:`**):
+
+| Outcome | Copy |
+|---------|------|
+| success | **`Quest accept: {displayName} accepted`** |
+| deny | **`Quest accept: denied — {reasonCode}`** |
+| HTTP/transport fail | **`Quest accept: failed — {reason}`** |
+| idle | **`Quest accept: — (Q gather / Shift+Q next)`** |
+
+### 6. Scene
+
+- **`main.tscn`:** add client nodes under root; add two labels in **`HudRoot`** VBox **after** **`EncounterCompleteLabel`**, **before** **`NpcStateLabel`**.
+
+### 7. Tests (GdUnit, AAA)
+
+- Progress client: parse active/completed rows; **`quest_row`** lookup; GET 404 → **`quest_sync_failed`**; accept happy **`accepted: true`**; accept deny **`accepted: false`** + **`reasonCode`**.
+- Definitions client: parse four-quest JSON; **`display_name_for`** returns **`displayName`**.
+
+### 8. Docs on land
+
+- **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`**: fresh server; Godot **F5**; **Q** accept gather intro → HUD shows active; gather/craft/defeat updates counters; **Shift+Q** accept refine after gather complete; deny feedback visible.
+- Update [E7M1-prototype-backlog.md](E7M1-prototype-backlog.md) E7M1-11 checkboxes, [E7_M1](../decomposition/modules/E7_M1_QuestStateMachine.md) client slice note, [documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md](../decomposition/modules/documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md) when implementation completes.
+
+## Files to add
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `docs/plans/NEO-122-implementation-plan.md` | This plan. |
+| `client/scripts/quest_progress_client.gd` | GET quest-progress + POST accept; parse v1; **`quest_row`**; signals. |
+| `client/scripts/quest_progress_client.gd.uid` | Godot uid companion (tracked). |
+| `client/scripts/quest_definitions_client.gd` | GET world quest-definitions; display-name cache. |
+| `client/scripts/quest_definitions_client.gd.uid` | Godot uid companion (tracked). |
+| `client/test/quest_progress_client_test.gd` | GdUnit: GET parse, accept happy/deny, 404 failure. |
+| `client/test/quest_progress_client_test.gd.uid` | GdUnit uid companion. |
+| `client/test/quest_definitions_client_test.gd` | GdUnit: parse defs JSON; **`display_name_for`**. |
+| `client/test/quest_definitions_client_test.gd.uid` | GdUnit uid companion. |
+| `docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md` | Godot manual QA (accept + progress refresh; no Bruno). |
+
+## Files to modify
+
+| Path | Rationale |
+|------|-----------|
+| `client/scenes/main.tscn` | Add **`QuestProgressClient`**, **`QuestDefinitionsClient`**, **`QuestProgressLabel`**, **`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`**. |
+| `client/scripts/main.gd` | Boot/refresh wiring, Q/Shift+Q accept, HUD render, eligible-quest helper. |
+| `client/README.md` | Quest progress + accept HUD subsection: server deps NEO-119/120/115, keys, refresh triggers. |
+
+## Tests
+
+| Test file | What it covers |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| `client/test/quest_progress_client_test.gd` | Mock GET 200: **`not_started`** / **`active`** with **`objectiveCounters`** / **`completed`** rows; **`quest_row`**; GET 404 → **`quest_sync_failed`**; POST accept **`accepted: true`** and **`accepted: false`** + **`reasonCode`**. AAA layout (`# Arrange` / `# Act` / `# Assert`). |
+| `client/test/quest_definitions_client_test.gd` | Parse v1 defs JSON (four quests); **`display_name_for`** returns catalog **`displayName`**; unknown id fallback. AAA layout. |
+| `client/test/craft_recipe_panel_test.gd` | Recipe row populate; economy body scroll reset on repopulate; **`craft_requested`** signal. AAA layout. |
+| `client/test/prototype_economy_hud_section_test.gd` | Economy collapse toggle; viewport pin + **`HudRootScroll`** clamp (NEO-122 follow-up). AAA layout. |
+
+No new **C#** tests (client-only; server covered by **`QuestProgressApiTests`** / **`QuestAcceptApiTests`**). No Bruno changes.
+
+## Open questions / risks
+
+| Item | Agent recommendation | Status |
+|------|----------------------|--------|
+| **Concurrent GET + accept** | Separate **`_sync_busy`** / **`_accept_busy`** guards; overlapping GET drops (encounter precedent); accept not blocked by progress poll. | **adopted** |
+| **Quest defs arrive after progress snapshot** | Re-render **`QuestProgressLabel`** on **`definitions_ready`** when snapshot non-empty (NEO-110 item-defs re-paint). | **adopted** |
+| **Client-side eligible-quest guess vs server deny** | Shift+Q uses snapshot prerequisite check for UX only; server **`TryAccept`** remains authoritative on deny. | **adopted** |
+| **NEO-123 capstone overlap** | NEO-122 proves HUD + accept + single-objective refresh; NEO-123 is full four-quest chain manual QA — keep scopes separate. | **deferred** |

+# Code review follow-up — NEO-122 (E7M1-11)
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-07  
+**Scope:** Branch `NEO-122-client-quest-progress-accept-hud` vs `origin/main` — commits `b36fe6d` … `632a747` (delta after [initial review](2026-06-07-NEO-122.md))  
+**Base:** `origin/main`  
+**Prior review:** `docs/reviews/2026-06-07-NEO-122.md` — prior suggestions **1** / **3** and nits **1–2** addressed in `b36fe6d`; suggestion **2** (extract quest HUD) still deferred.  
+**Follow-up:** suggestions **1–2** below are **done** (strikethrough + **Done.**); suggestion **3** is manual regression spot-check for author/reviewer.
+
+## Verdict
+
+**Approve with nits**
+
+## Summary
+
+Seven commits landed after the first review: code-review follow-up (quest-definitions error HUD + accept-failure GdUnit), then a **prototype economy/debug HUD layout refactor** so NEO-122 manual QA step 7 (craft **`refine_scrap_standard`** with recipes visible) is reliable. Changes include **`HudRootScroll`** wrapping debug labels, **`EconomyHudSection`** pinned to the viewport bottom with **`BodyScroll`**, **`craft_recipe_panel.gd`** flattened (no nested scroll; recipes-first in economy body), and layout clamping in **`prototype_economy_hud_section.gd`**. New/extended GdUnit: **`craft_recipe_panel_test.gd`**, viewport layout tests in **`prototype_economy_hud_section_test.gd`**. Quest client behavior from the first review remains sound; risk is mainly **plan/doc drift** and **cross-story HUD regression** (NEO-74/75/110), not quest contract correctness.
+

+
+## Blocking issues
+
+(none)
+
+## Suggestions
+
+1. ~~**Reconcile implementation plan** — Append a short **NEO-122 follow-up** bullet to `docs/plans/NEO-122-implementation-plan.md` **Implementation reconciliation**: economy HUD pinned layout, `HudRootScroll`, `craft_recipe_panel` VBox + `RecipeRows`, recipes-first in `BodyScroll/Body`, and manual QA step 7 rationale. Keeps [planning-implementation-docs](../../.cursor/rules/planning-implementation-docs.md) honest about scope expansion.~~ **Done.** Follow-up subsection in plan reconciliation; tests table extended.
+
+2. ~~**Fix manual QA numbering** — In `docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`, renumber the second **9.** (server-down optional) to **10.** and the definitions-error optional to **11.**; update **Acceptance** if it should include the craft-visibility step (currently “Steps 1–8” while required steps now include **9**).~~ **Done.** Steps 1–12; acceptance covers steps 1–9 + craft visibility.
+
+3. **Regression spot-check** — Run abbreviated passes of [NEO-74](../manual-qa/NEO-74.md), [NEO-75](../manual-qa/NEO-75.md), and [NEO-110](../manual-qa/NEO-110.md) after merge: collapsed economy toggle, gather/craft feedback still visible in **`HudRootScroll`**, encounter labels still scroll when debug stack is tall.
+
+## Nits
+
+1. Nit: `main.tscn` **`EconomyHudSection`** still has editor offsets (`offset_top = 400`) overwritten at runtime by **`_apply_viewport_layout`** — possible one-frame layout flash on boot; acceptable for prototype.
+
+2. Nit: **`prototype_economy_hud_section.gd`** locates **`HudRootScroll`** by sibling name string — works with current scene tree and is covered by GdUnit; brittle if `UICanvas` children reorder.
+
+3. Nit: Economy **`BodyScroll/Body`** child order is now **Recipes → Inventory → Skills → Gig XP** (was inventory-first). NEO-75 steps do not mandate order, but players accustomed to inventory-at-top may need a scroll on first open.
+
+## Bugbot follow-up (PR #161)
+
+1. ~~**Shift+Q ignores progress sync failure** — After GET fails, `_request_eligible_accept` blocked accept when `_progress_error` is set; GdUnit **`test_shift_q_blocks_when_progress_sync_failed`**. **Done.**
+
+2. ~~**Hud scroll minimum causes panel overlap** — Removed 80px floor in `_apply_hud_root_scroll_bounds`; clamp to `maxf(0.0, available_height)`; layout test asserts scroll height ≤ panel top − gap. **Done.**
+
+3. ~~**GdUnit CI exit 101 (orphans)** — Rewrote **`quest_hud_controller_test.gd`** with `MockHttpTransport` / `auto_free()` on all nodes; full suite **247 tests, 0 orphans, exit 0**. **Done.**
+
+4. ~~**Quest HUD stale after accept** — Merge accept-response `quest` row into snapshot immediately; re-apply patch when stale GET returns `not_started`; queue pending sync when GET busy. **Done.**
+
+5. ~~**Accept hidden by progress error** — Clear `_progress_error` on successful accept merge; render snapshot rows with `sync error — …` banner instead of error-only early return. **Done.**
+
+6. ~~**Sync fail drops accept merge** — `_on_sync_failed` no longer clears `_accept_quest_patch` or merged snapshot; rebuilds from patch when snapshot empty. **Done.**
+
+7. ~~**Shift+Q hides definitions failure** — Block eligible accept when `_defs_error` is set and catalog is empty. **Done.**
+
+8. ~~**Definitions ready skips HUD repaint** — `_on_definitions_ready` repaints when snapshot exists even if `_progress_error` is set so display names replace raw ids. **Done.**
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+cd client
+godot --headless --path . -s addons/gdUnit4/bin/GdUnitCmdTool.gd \
+  --ignoreHeadlessMode \
+  -a res://test
+```
+
+Full suite: **255** cases, **0** orphans (GdUnit exit **0**).
+
+```bash
+# Focused NEO-122 / layout subset
+godot --headless --path . -s addons/gdUnit4/bin/GdUnitCmdTool.gd \
+  --ignoreHeadlessMode \
+  -a test/quest_progress_client_test.gd \

+     test/quest_hud_controller_test.gd \
+     test/craft_recipe_panel_test.gd \
+     test/prototype_economy_hud_section_test.gd
+```
+
+Manual (per updated `docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`):
+
+1. **F5** with fresh server — quest labels visible in **`HudRootScroll`**; economy panel pinned bottom-left, not off-screen.
+2. Steps 1–9 (craft step 7–8: **Refine Scrap (Standard)** first row, scroll at top).
+3. Optional error paths (steps 10–11).
+4. Toggle **Economy HUD** off/on — debug labels in **`HudRootScroll`** remain; recipe repopulate + scroll reset still works.

+# Code review — NEO-122 (E7M1-11)
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-07  
+**Scope:** Branch `NEO-122-client-quest-progress-accept-hud` vs `origin/main` — commits `150cb73` … `e37671d`  
+**Base:** `origin/main`
+
+## Verdict
+
+**Approve with nits** — suggestions **1** and **3** and nits **1–2** below are **done** (strikethrough + **Done.**); suggestion **2** deferred to NEO-123.
+
+## Summary
+
+NEO-122 delivers the Godot client slice for Epic 7 quest visibility: **`quest_progress_client.gd`** (GET progress + POST accept with separate sync/accept HTTP and busy guards), **`quest_definitions_client.gd`** (cached display names + catalog-order iteration), HUD labels **`QuestProgressLabel`** / **`QuestAcceptFeedbackLabel`**, and **`main.gd`** wiring for boot hydrate, **Q** / **Shift+Q** accept, and event-driven GET refresh after gather, craft success, **`targetDefeated`**, and accept. Implementation mirrors **`encounter_progress_client.gd`** / **`recipe_definitions_client.gd`** precedents and respects server authority (client displays GET snapshots only; Shift+Q prerequisite check is UX-only). Twelve GdUnit cases cover parse, sync, 404, accept happy/deny, and definitions display names with full AAA layout. Documentation is thorough: implementation plan reconciliation, backlog checkboxes, E7.M1 module snapshot, alignment register, **`client/README.md`**, and **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`**. Risk is low; human manual QA remains the main pre-merge gate.
+
+## Documentation checked
+
+| Path | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| `docs/plans/NEO-122-implementation-plan.md` | **Matches** — kickoff decisions adopted (defs client, Q/Shift+Q semantics, four-quest HUD); reconciliation accurate; manual QA item correctly left open. |
+| `docs/plans/E7M1-prototype-backlog.md` (E7M1-11) | **Matches** — acceptance checkboxes checked; landed note + README/manual QA links. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/E7_M1_QuestStateMachine.md` | **Matches** — NEO-122 client HUD bullet + links. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md` | **Matches** — E7M1-11 / NEO-122 landed note appended. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/module_dependency_register.md` | **Matches** — E7.M1 row stays **Planned** until NEO-123 capstone (correct). |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/client_server_authority.md` | **Matches** — client displays server GET snapshot; accept is intent POST; no local objective math. |
+| `client/README.md` | **Matches** — quest HUD subsection: routes, keys, refresh triggers, test file list. |
+| `docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md` | **Matches** — Godot-only checklist; Shift+Q combat-intro caveat documented. |
+| Full-stack epic decomposition | **Matches** — paired client issue NEO-122; does not claim E7 Slice 1 capstone complete (NEO-123). |
+
+**Register / tracking:** E7.M1 correctly remains **Planned** until client capstone NEO-123; no further register status change required for this merge.
+
+## Blocking issues
+
+(none)
+
+## Suggestions
+
+1. ~~**Surface `definitions_sync_failed` on HUD** — `_quest_defs_error` is set in `_on_quest_definitions_sync_failed` but never read in `_render_quest_progress_label`. Recipe defs follow the visible pattern (`Recipes: error — {reason}` on **`CraftFeedbackLabel`**). Consider painting e.g. `Quests:\nerror — definitions {reason}` (or a suffix on the header) so a defs-only failure is visible; today the HUD silently falls back to raw quest ids from the progress snapshot.~~ **Done.** `_render_quest_progress_label` paints `definitions error — {reason}` when defs sync fails (during loading or alongside progress rows).
+
+2. **Extract quest HUD wiring from `main.gd`** — ~250 lines of quest setup/render/accept logic were added to an already large composer. Per [godot-client-script-organization](../../.cursor/rules/godot-client-script-organization.md), a child **`quest_hud_controller.gd`** (signals in, label text out) would match NEO-110-era precedent deferral but reduce merge conflict surface before NEO-123 capstone work. Non-blocking for this story. **Deferred** to NEO-123 capstone or follow-up refactor.
+
+3. ~~**GdUnit: `quest_accept_failed` + accept-busy guard** — Client tests cover sync 404 and structured deny (`accepted: false`), but not transport/HTTP failure on accept (`quest_accept_failed`) or `request_accept` returning `false` when `_accept_busy`. Small additions would lock the error path NEO-122 manual QA step 9 exercises.~~ **Done.** `test_http_404_on_accept_emits_quest_accept_failed` and `test_request_accept_returns_false_when_accept_busy` in `quest_progress_client_test.gd`.
+
+## Nits
+
+1. ~~Nit: `test_request_accept_emits_deny_with_reason_code` omits `await assert_signal(...)` used elsewhere; safe with the synchronous mock transport today, but inconsistent with `test_request_sync_emits_quest_progress_received`.~~ **Deferred.** Synchronous mock transport emits before `await assert_signal` can observe; deny test keeps sync capture (same pattern as `craft_client_test.gd`).
+
+2. ~~Nit: `_render_quest_progress_labels()` is a one-line wrapper around `_render_quest_progress_label()` — harmless; could inline unless more quest labels land in NEO-123.~~ **Done.** Wrapper removed; callers invoke `_render_quest_progress_label()` directly.
+
+3. Nit: Shift+Q may offer **`prototype_quest_combat_intro`** before refine when gather is still active (documented in manual QA Notes) — server deny is authoritative; acceptable prototype UX.
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+# GdUnit (requires Godot + gdUnit4 in PATH)
+cd client
+godot --headless --path . -s addons/gdUnit4/bin/GdUnitCmdTool.gd \
+  --ignoreHeadlessMode -a test/quest_progress_client_test.gd test/quest_definitions_client_test.gd
+
+# GDScript lint (if .venv-gd installed)
+gdlint client/scripts/quest_progress_client.gd client/scripts/quest_definitions_client.gd client/scripts/main.gd
+gdformat --check client/scripts/quest_progress_client.gd client/scripts/quest_definitions_client.gd
+```
+
+Manual (per `docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`):
+
+1. Fresh server + Godot **F5** — four quests **`not started`**; idle accept hint visible.
+2. **Q** accept gather → active step 1 + success feedback.
+3. Gather ×3 → counter updates; gather **`completed`**.
+4. **Shift+Q** before/after gather complete — deny vs refine accept.
+5. Craft **`refine_scrap_standard`** → refine **`completed`**.
+6. Duplicate **Q** on completed gather → **`denied — already_completed`** (or **`already_active`**).
+7. Optional: server down → **`Quests: error — …`** or **`Quest accept: failed — …`**.
+
+Server regression (no server changes, sanity):
+
+```bash
+dotnet test NeonSprawl.sln --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Quest"
+```
