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.
Split HTTP verification reads into Assert in C# API and integration tests.
Add # Arrange/# Act/# Assert to GdUnit suites and keep Act free of assertions
where casts and busy guards are under test.
Fix the hotbar client test transport body construction so the suite parses and runs again, and normalize AAA marker ordering in the flagged C# tests to restore readability consistency with the test template.
Audit all test files and bring them in line with formatting/style expectations by adding explicit AAA markers across server test methods and fixing GDScript test lint/format issues.
Add explicit Arrange/Act/Assert sections to each hotbar API test method to align with the C# test style guide while preserving existing coverage and behavior.
Remove the AAA pre-commit gate and instead provide write-time scaffolding via C# snippets and a test template, then document those defaults in the C# style and testing expectations rules.
Set E1.M4 documentation status to In Progress across decomposition tracking docs and add lower-bound slot validation coverage. Mark the corresponding review suggestions and nit as resolved in the saved review file.
Add server/client tests for duplicate-slot, schema, missing-player, normalization, and busy/error handling paths, and include Bruno requests for the new hotbar routes with happy and representative failure checks.
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.
Delete ground_pick and GroundPick wiring; PositionAuthorityClient now only
boot GET and move-stream POST. main.gd snaps on authoritative position only.
Update client/server READMEs, cursor rule example, NEO-22 plan note, and
GdUnit authority tests (stream 400 + boot resync).
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.
Align plan, client/server README, E1.M1 snapshot, and code review note with
the chosen design: descend bypass favors smooth stepped surfaces; multi-click
around obstacles is OK. NS-24 remains for idle jitter.
