Register SkillDefinitionCatalog from content/skills with JsonSchema.Net validation
mirroring validate_content.py and the prototype Slice 1 gate. Resolve paths via
Content:SkillsDirectory or discovery from AppContext.BaseDirectory. Eager-load
after WebApplication build so bad catalogs block startup. Add unit and host
tests, pin test factories to repo skills, document config in server/README, add
manual QA checklist, and extend Bruno GET /health smoke tests.
Ship a server-owned hotbar loadout API with Postgres-or-memory persistence so slot bindings survive reconnects in configured environments. Wire client boot hydration and add tests/docs/manual QA to keep the prototype contract and policy explicit.
Map SelectionEvent to target_changed, reserve ability_cast_requested and ability_cast_denied hook locations, and align plan/manual QA/decomposition docs with TODO(E9.M1) telemetry follow-up.
Followup #5: after locking alpha, walking into beta's ring, stopping and
pressing Tab could still return `out_of_range` even when client and server
agreed on position (Δ=0). The freshness-kick move-stream POST and the
target/select POST race on separate HTTP connections so the select can be
validated against a stale stored snap.
Extend TargetSelectRequest v1 with an optional positionHint {x,y,z}.
Server uses the hint for the radius check and for the echoed
targetState.validity; the hint is advisory and does not write to the
position store (move-stream stays the sole write path). Client attaches
the hint automatically whenever set_freshness_kick(...) is wired, so
headless unit tests that skip the wiring fall through to the no-hint
behavior. Freshness kick is kept in place to refresh the stored snap for
later validity GETs but is no longer load-bearing for denial correctness.
Server: 3 new tests (hint accepts when stored is stale, hint-far denies,
hint never writes to position store). Client: 1 new test asserting the
hint is in the POST body when wired. All 62 server + 96 client tests
pass.
Plan Decision 8, review follow-up #5, manual QA section 6, and NEO-23
contract notes updated. New bruno request exercises the hint path.
All prototype targets now share `PrototypeTargetRegistry.SharedLockRadius`
(= 6 m). Anchors moved to alpha `(-3, 0.5, -3)` and beta `(3, 0, 3)` so
the two 6 m rings overlap ~3.5 m wide centered at origin, letting Tab
flip between targets without locomotion. Spawn `(-5, -5)` keeps alpha
in range (~2.83 m) and beta out (~11.31 m) so the existing soft-lock
denial QA path at spawn still holds.
`prototype_target_constants.gd` mirrors the shared radius + new anchors.
The range-aware Tab picker now **skips the currently-locked id** so Tab
always expresses a swap intent — if the only in-range target is already
locked, the fallback picks the next cycle id and the server denies
(preserves NEO-23's "Tab = visible denial when no swap possible" rule).
Tests:
- Server: new `PlayerTargetStateReaderTests.ComputeValidity_AtOrigin_…`
asserts both targets report `Ok` at origin. Existing boundary test
rewritten for the new alpha anchor.
- Client: new `test_tab_from_locked_alpha_at_origin_swaps_to_beta_when_both_in_range`
and `test_tab_when_only_current_lock_is_in_range_falls_back_to_cycle_for_denial`.
Existing in-range/out-of-range positions updated for the new layout.
Server 59/59 and client 95/95 suites pass.
Plan Decision 7, review follow-up #4, manual QA section 5 (new "Tab-flip
at origin" overlap sanity), and README updated. Per-target radii will
return with real combat design (E5.M1) — this is a prototype stub.
Introduce POST /game/players/{id}/move-stream with ordered targets, full-chain
validation before apply, and PositionStateResponse. Godot client uses camera-
relative WASD, queues samples, and snaps to stream responses; debug builds keep
click-to-move via ground_pick. Update READMEs, E1.M1 snapshot, and tests.
Migrate Jira NEON-* references to Linear NEO-* and linear.app links in
docs, Cursor rules, READMEs, and traceability comments. Renamed
implementation plans and dated reviews to NEO filenames.
Branch is based on origin/main with this commit only (no NEON-29
gameplay chain). client/README follows main’s district/map copy;
player.gd matches main aside from NEO-14 debug trace prefixes.
Makes the no-horizontal-limit intent explicit in config rather than
relying on the C# class default; prevents accidental re-enabling if
the default ever changes.
Expanded 45×45 district made the 18 m MaxHorizontalStep too restrictive
(floor diagonal ~63 m). Add HorizontalStepEnabled to MovementValidationOptions
(default false, matching DistrictBoundsEnabled pattern) so the check is
skipped unless explicitly opted in. Add test for disabled case (9 pass).
Update README and plan with the decision.
Server already allows downward steps via abs(ΔY) vs MaxVerticalStep; document
that explicitly.
Client: when authoritative goal Y is below the body, skip nav waypoints and
steer horizontally toward the goal only — mesh waypoints under the rim
gave ~no horizontal speed (felt like wrong collision).
Use C# primary constructors and camelCase private fields per csharp-style.
Refactor InMemoryPositionStateStore seeding into CreateInitialMap; align
Postgres integration tests and PositionStateApiTests with factory/httpClient
naming.
Wire IPositionStateStore to Npgsql when ConnectionStrings:NeonSprawl is set,
with versioned DDL under server/db/migrations and a shared PostgresPositionBootstrap
for schema plus dev-player seeding at host startup. In-memory tests override Postgres
registrations when CI sets the connection string globally.
Add GitHub Actions Postgres service for dotnet test, server README updates,
decomposition and implementation-plan docs, code review write-up, and C# brace
conventions in csharp-style rule.
Implement E1.M1 intent → authority: POST /game/players/{id}/move with v1 JSON
MoveCommandRequest (snap + sequence), extend in-memory store and
PositionStateApi. Godot client splits ground_pick and position_authority_client
with thin main.gd; snap_to_server on player.
Tests live under NeonSprawl.Server.Tests/Game/PositionState/ with AAA layout
and MethodName_ShouldExpectedOutcome_WhenScenario naming. Debug builds use
UseAppHost=false so Linux IDEs resolve .NET 10 from a user-local SDK.
Add NS-16 implementation plan, code review doc, godot-client-script-organization
rule, csharp test layout/naming rules, and refresh E1.M1 / alignment docs.
Server and client README updates include move API, prerequisites, and Rider
notes.
