Wire quest-progress GET and accept POST clients with four-quest HUD labels,
Q/Shift+Q accept bindings, and event-driven refresh after gather, craft, and
NPC defeats; includes GdUnit coverage and manual QA checklist.
Wire npc-runtime-snapshot and combat-health GET clients with combat-active
~1 Hz polling, interpolated telegraph countdown, and PlayerCombatHp/NpcState/
Telegraph HUD labels; includes GdUnit tests, manual QA, and doc updates.
Add visual catalog/art scripts, instance environment art in main, spawn GLB
interactable and NPC prop meshes at server anchors, and replace legacy
prototype_target_* ids with prototype_npc_elite/melee/ranged for Tab lock.
Replace subtle mast markers with capsule bodies, Dummy α/β Label3D names,
and brighten the Tab-locked target; HUD hints point to orange/purple dummies.
Fix "Tab says denied even though I'm in range of beta": root cause is the
race between the 20 Hz move-stream sampler and the target-select POST. A
Tab press right after the capsule stops can be validated against the
server's last sampled position, which trails the visible capsule by
several meters.
Client-side fixes (server contract unchanged):
- TargetSelectionClient.set_freshness_kick(authority, player): before each
POST /target/select, submit a move-stream with the current player
position so the server's stored snapshot is as fresh as possible when
the range check runs. Wired in main.gd; optional so tests without the
wiring still pass (regression-covered).
- PlayerPositionLabel now shows a "srv: (x,y,z) Δ=<d>m age=<ms>" line
populated from PositionAuthorityClient.authoritative_ack, so any
residual client/server divergence is visible in the HUD and future
reports can point at it directly.
- Two new tests: select POST kicks exactly one freshness stream with the
current player position before POSTing, and the kick is a no-op when
the wiring is absent.
Docs: plan Decision 5, review follow-up #2, manual QA section 5 and
section 1, and client README updated to describe the new behaviors.
Players reported targeting "feels inconsistent" because the server
PrototypeTargetRegistry anchors (alpha (-5,-5) r=8, beta (8,8) r=4) have
no visible meshes — the only console visible in the scene is the NEO-9
PrototypeTerminal at origin, which is unrelated to NEO-23/24 targeting.
Adds a display-only mirror of the server registry:
- client/scripts/prototype_target_markers.gd spawns a colored mast +
translucent flat radius ring per anchor so the lock radius is
visible in-world.
- client/scripts/prototype_target_constants.gd gains ANCHORS with
position/radius/color, matching PrototypeTargetRegistry.cs. Marked
display-only; server remains authoritative for validity.
- TargetLockLabel now renders a per-anchor distance line each physics
tick ("<id>: <d> m / <radius> (in|out)") so players can see the
relationship between the visible capsule and the lock radius and
immediately spot client/server position drift.
Also updates README, plan (Decision 4), manual QA (Section 1 boot +
Section 4 locomotion), and the review file's follow-up section to
describe the UX fix.
PlayerPositionLabel's 3 lines at font_size=15 + outline=6 overran its
64 px rect, so TargetLockLabel (offset_top=82) rendered the `Target:`
row on top of the `z:` row. Bump position-label bottom to 88 and push
target-label top to 104 for clean separation; widen target-label rect to
320x120 so the optional 4th `Denied: <reasonCode>` line fits without
clipping.
Adds `TargetSelectionClient` (Godot, HTTP to NEO-23 targeting endpoints):
- Tab cycles ids in ascending order matching `PrototypeTargetRegistry`
(`prototype_target_alpha`, `prototype_target_beta`) and wraps.
- Esc clears by POSTing with `targetId` omitted.
- UI always paints from the server's authoritative `targetState`
(success and denials alike); `UICanvas/TargetLockLabel` shows
`lockedTargetId`, `validity`, `sequence`, and (on deny) `reasonCode`.
- Movement-triggered refresh: while a lock is held, subsequent
`authoritative_position_received` snaps fire a throttled GET
(~250 ms cooldown) so `validity` flips to `out_of_range` after
locomotion without duplicating server radius math on the client.
Registers `target_tab` (Tab) / `target_clear` (Esc) in `project.godot`;
documents bindings + manual QA in `client/README.md`.
Tests: `target_selection_client_test.gd` covers GET parse, tab ordering
from empty/alpha/wrap, POST body shape, denial preserves server state,
clear omits targetId, movement refresh fires only while locked, cooldown
collapses bursts to one GET, and `apply_as_snap=false` is ignored.
All 85 client GdUnit cases pass; gdlint and gdformat clean.
See `docs/plans/NEO-24-implementation-plan.md`.
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).
Add prototype_smooth_hill_piece for QA geometry alongside main scene wiring.
Refresh player locomotion and main scene integration from stashed work.
Track docs/plans/NEO-22-implementation-plan.md (WASD replaces click-to-move).
TerracePlatformC_Approach (PCS_*): four cardinals, 7.2 m arms, ~0.104 m rise.
TerraceStepB_Approach (TSB_*): S/E/W, 6.2×1.0 m NS treads.
TerracePlatformB_Approach (TPB_*): N/E/W with six risers for 0.6 m to floor;
south uses existing gold step. New ramp-tint materials. README + plan.
Revert path_desired_distance and target_desired_distance to 0.35; 0.22
was below practical per-tick progress toward waypoints and led to
oscillation or stuck path state. When NavigationAgent reports finished
but horizontal distance still exceeds ARRIVE_EPS, steer directly
toward the authoritative goal in XZ.
Tread run was 0.45 m vs 0.8 m capsule diameter, causing straddle stuck
on stairs and blocked motion toward edges when exiting. Use 1.0 m
depth (NS/WE boxes), recenter PAS_* transforms flush to the lip.
Tighten NavigationAgent path/target desired distance 0.35 to 0.22.
Twelve walkable StaticBody treads (three per side) bridge floor to teal
lip; darker teal material. Fixes Jolt/box-lip stuck when script-only
mitigations had no user-visible effect. README + plan note.
Step assist: use is_on_wall + get_wall_normal opposing want; keep slide loop
with dot < -0.02.
Descend: relax floor_block on shallow floor normal at internal edges; widen
vertical-ish slide threshold slightly.
Raise TerracePlatformA Y by 0.012 m vs main floor for coplanarity.
Reverts the 15mm TerraceStepB/TerracePlatformB root offset that regressed
floor-to-step movement.
When the walk goal is below the feet, apply gravity even while is_on_floor
so lip contacts are not stuck with vy cleared every tick; cap descend
floor_snap_length so the upper surface does not win over internal edges.
Raise TerraceStepB and TerracePlatformB 15mm so boxes are not coplanar
with the main floor top, reducing Jolt internal-edge hangs.
Remove descend lip stall, peel multipliers, and snap cap; keep a single
floor_block_on_wall=false policy for the whole descend branch to avoid
oscillation. Document in NEON-29 plan.
- _set_horizontal_velocity_toward: optional fallback xz when delta.xz ~ 0 (avoids +X hack).
- Direct-approach branch: if horiz_dist to goal is ~0 but not arrived vertically, steer
using the first navigation path point with horizontal separation.
- Apply get_gravity()*delta while walking and not on_floor so capsules land and Jolt
registers floor contacts.
- Set Player collision_mask=3 explicitly; README collision bullet updated.
Player uses collision_layer 2 so camera pick rays (mask 1) skip the capsule.
Static bodies defaulted to collision_mask 1, so they never scanned layer 2 and
Godot produced no floor/wall contacts—walk appeared stuck with is_on_floor
false. Set collision_mask=3 on all NavigationRegion3D StaticBody3D walkables
and occluders; bumps inherit from Floor at spawn. Document the pairing in README.
Replace 20×20 floor with 45×45 (~5× area). Add three occluder
obstacles (ObstacleB/C/D) distributed across the expanded space for
camera/occlusion stress QA. Add three terrace structures (TerracePlatformA,
TerraceStepB+TerracePlatformB, TerracePlatformC) for vertical variation;
each height transition respects agent_max_climb=0.35 m so the nav mesh
routes onto all surfaces. Update README with district layout table and
designer/QA limits.
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/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
User-requested rollback to the pre-72eef09 behavior: skip nav waypoints when
auth goal.y is below body (floor pick vs mid-capsule), steering xz straight at
the goal — good for bump departure, bad for gray-box detours. Revert
floor_snap_length to 0.28 to match that snapshot.
Restore a straight Godot nav pattern: steer toward get_next_path_position until
finish or final approach, then toward goal; horizontal-only arrival by xz.
Removes footprint rays, bump-step group, and step-off vy layering that fought
the engine. Slightly raise Player floor_snap_length for small ledges.
Frustum bases left ~0.33 m between closest corners while the player
capsule is ~0.8 m wide, so crossing could wedge between A and B. Shift
NS19BumpB −Z by 0.75 m (z −4.1 → −4.85) so AABB clearance ≈1 m.
- Add xz-offset down-rays (~0.42 m) so rim/lean on the 1 m Bump A still
counts as on-bump for nav skip (single center column could miss).
- Widen Bump A convex base 0.65→0.72 (top 0.5 unchanged): gentler ~34°
sides vs ~45° to reduce CharacterBody3D snags; mesh unchanged.
Restore obstacle routing via waypoints elsewhere; on bump tops nav often
prefers a downward segment and breaks departure. Detect plateau with
is_on_floor + flat normal + ray down into group ns19_bump; then steer
only toward authoritative goal xz. Slopes keep waypoint pathing.
