First movement starts the clock; touching the pink pad (incl. its front face —
it's a 1.2-high podium, and mid-air boot crossings) finishes: banner, localStorage
best, R/Start or 6s auto-restart. Course fix: the gap jump soft-locked straight-
line drivers under the green slope — sealed the under-shelf cavity (plinth) and
added a deterministic launcher pad in the slot (restitution pachinkoed off the
shelf face; held-W air control flattens shallow arcs, so it launches high+centered).
Verified headless: naive hold-W racer finishes in ~12s, loop restarts, best persists.

Left stick is radial-deadzone analog (magnitude preserved — gentle stick =
gentle roll) feeding the same camera-relative move vector as WASD; jump goes
through the buffered-edge path as Space. Verified headless with a stubbed
navigator.getGamepads: full/half-stick speeds, single edge jump, respawn.

Integration: blob+paint+machines composed in game.ts; cannons staged along the
racing line (muzzle 26 — default 16 undershoots course distances); plate
threshold above clean-blob mass so only painted blobs trip it (paint=weight=
machine access); belt delivers riders under the bucket (shallow catch timed to
teeter drift); arch moved to a detour lane.
Cross-lane fixes found at integration, all one class — gameplay logic living
on render-frame time, which stalls in hidden tabs:
- telegraph windup -> fixed step (gates forces/dumps)
- bucket tip/pour -> fixed step (gates the splat)
- blob group sync -> fixed step in controller (paint proximity gate reads it)
world.ts grew tick()/renderOnce() + a hidden-tab watchdog interval for this.
Assets: mesh wave 1 (4 GLBs via farm: blobbo-base, toaster, spring boot,
paint bucket) + mesh_pipeline.py with outdir scp fallback for the farm's
unregistered-remote-outputs bug.
Verified headless end-to-end via tick(): move/jump/squash, cannon hits on a
moving blob, coverage->buffs (BURN 1.6x, super at 70%), mass 1.0->1.67 with
paint, plate clean-reject + painted-trip, boot launch (peak y 3.9), belt->
bucket dump (23.6% purple), arch cleanse.

Player-triggered contraptions that chain purely via world.events
('machine:signal') with a mandatory ~0.5s telegraph before any force or
paint dump (GDD readable-chaos pillar).
src/machine/:
- telegraph.ts: unmissable windup (accelerating flash + shake + scale pulse)
ticked once per world; parts await it and only then fire.
- parts.ts: PressurePlate (real body.mass() threshold), SpringBoot
(telegraph -> impulse on strike volume), SeeSaw (Rapier revolute joint
with limits + optional rest tilt), BucketDump (telegraph teeter ->
paint:request-splat + slosh), ConveyorBelt, BubbleArch (rising-edge
paint:request-cleanse + bubbles), Fan (per-step impulse so mass does the
work). Config-driven; no cross-instance references.
- surfaces.ts: normal/ice/oil/honey/mud/water registry with applySurface +
surfaceAt (downward ray) query.
demos/lane-c.html + src/demo/lane-c.ts: heavy ball runs
PressurePlate -> SpringBoot -> SeeSaw -> ice runway -> BucketDump, plus
conveyor/arch/fan and ice/honey probe lanes. Debug keys T/L/S/F/P and
per-second STATE console lines. Layout constants tuned via a headless
physics sweep so the chain completes deterministically.

Fixed-step world runtime, event bus wire protocol between lanes, integration
seam (game.ts) with placeholder ball. Lanes A/B/C own disjoint dirs.

Fall Guys x Splatoon x Micro Machines — paint-coverage-as-loadout blob racer.
GDD.md is the review artifact: feature tiers, draft 7-colour buff table,
tech recommendation (web-first three.js+Rapier), milestones, Opus 4.8 lanes.
