Add self-contained branch_already_chosen Bruno request, HTTP deny smoke
for unknown track/tier/branch and null-body 400, folder docs for level_too_low.
Replace placeholder XP level math with content-backed thresholds validated in CI and at server boot, and update docs/manual QA/review artifacts to reflect NEO-39 delivery and follow-up fixes.
Document preferring separate branches/commits for mechanical test-only
churn vs ticket-scoped changes. Strike through resolved bullets in the
saved review file per project convention.
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.
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.
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.
