Harden idle settling so flat ground, obstacle contacts, and rare bump-edge cases stop drifting instead of looping corrective nudges. Also resolves the saved review follow-up items and syncs the runtime docs to the final feet-height and idle-anchor behavior.
ground_pick.gd now checks _collider_is_occluder before the walkable
break: when the ray hits a body in the "occluder" group it advances
OCCLUDER_PICK_THROUGH past the hit point and continues, unconditionally
and regardless of OcclusionPolicy fade state. Non-occluder click
targeting is unchanged.
Three unit tests added to ground_pick_test.gd covering occluder ancestry
detection. Plan open questions and module doc updated.
Adds OcclusionPolicy resource and wires it into IsometricFollowCamera.
Each _process frame, iterative rays from the camera eye to the player
focus detect bodies tagged "occluder"; their MeshInstance3D surfaces are
overridden with a transparent StandardMaterial3D (fade_alpha=0.25, instant).
Materials restore when the body clears the ray. Null-material surfaces
(e.g. the prototype Obstacle with no material assigned) receive a plain
transparent StandardMaterial3D so they fade correctly.
- client/scripts/occlusion_policy.gd — new Resource (enabled, fade_alpha,
occluder_group, occluder_collision_mask, max_occluder_cast_depth,
occluder_count_log_threshold, is_valid)
- client/resources/isometric_occlusion_policy.tres — default instance
- client/scripts/isometric_follow_camera.gd — occlusion_policy export,
_update_occlusion pipeline, _apply_occluder_fade/_restore_occluder helpers,
static occlusion_policy_is_valid guard, _exit_tree cleanup
- client/scenes/main.tscn — Obstacle tagged "occluder", policy assigned
- client/test/occlusion_policy_test.gd — new GdUnit4 unit tests
- client/test/isometric_follow_camera_test.gd — policy guard static tests
- docs/decomposition/modules/E1_M2_IsometricCameraController.md — NEON-27
snapshot + readability demo gate note
- docs/plans/NEON-27-implementation-plan.md — null-material decision recorded
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.
- Add docs/decomposition/tooling/internal_authoring.md and CT.M1–M3 module stubs
- Register CT modules and cross-cutting section in decomposition README
- Add internal-content-authoring execution plan
- Extend neon_sprawl_vision.plan.md with Tooling epic (CT) in Core Epic Map and modules
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.
