type-two eed2eb2646 Lane B (Paint): splat pipeline, coverage compute, buff/threshold framework
The core invention: paint lands on the blob body where projectiles hit, live
per-colour coverage % is computed from a quantized UV mask, and coverage drives
buffs per GDD §6 MVP subset (RED speed+embers, GREEN grip, BLUE waterproof,
total→mass, 20% activate / 70% super+glow).

- src/paint/skin.ts       PaintSkin: Canvas-2D mask on mesh UVs → CanvasTexture;
                          splatAtPoint raycasts impact→face UV; dual soft-canvas
                          + hard quantized-index mask so coverage is exact
                          integer bucketing (never getImageData); 250ms cache;
                          scrub-hole cleanse; U-seam wrap.
- src/paint/coverage-math.ts  pure, unit-tested: countBuckets, coverage report,
                          buffStrength, computeModifiers.
- src/paint/cannon.ts     PaintCannon: gravity-arc glob projectiles (manual
                          swept sphere test), target-leading ballistic solve,
                          fires on interval AND machine:signal; emits paint:splatted.
- src/paint/buffs.ts      BuffSystem: coverage→modifiers each step + ember trail
                          (additive Points) + super-state emissive pulse.
- src/paint/hud.ts        PaintHUD: per-colour bars + active buff kit (throttled).
- src/paint/index.ts      exports + installPaint() wiring the inbound Lane C
                          protocol (request-splat proximity-gated / request-cleanse).
- src/demo/lane-b.ts      stub ball orbiting a RED and GREEN cannon; HUD live;
                          debug keys for fire/signal/flood/cleanse/pause.
- src/paint/coverage-math.test.ts  32 assertions (node --experimental-strip-types).

build: tsc strict + vite pass. No edits outside owned paths; contracts frozen.

# fsevents
Native access to MacOS FSEvents in [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
The FSEvents API in MacOS allows applications to register for notifications of
changes to a given directory tree. It is a very fast and lightweight alternative
to kqueue.
This is a low-level library. For a cross-platform file watching module that
uses fsevents, check out [Chokidar](https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar).
## Usage
```sh
npm install fsevents
```
Supports only **Node.js v8.16 and higher**.
```js
const fsevents = require('fsevents');
// To start observation
const stop = fsevents.watch(__dirname, (path, flags, id) => {
const info = fsevents.getInfo(path, flags);
});
// To end observation
stop();
```
> **Important note:** The API behaviour is slightly different from typical JS APIs. The `stop` function **must** be
> retrieved and stored somewhere, even if you don't plan to stop the watcher. If you forget it, the garbage collector
> will eventually kick in, the watcher will be unregistered, and your callbacks won't be called anymore.
The callback passed as the second parameter to `.watch` get's called whenever the operating system detects a
a change in the file system. It takes three arguments:
###### `fsevents.watch(dirname: string, (path: string, flags: number, id: string) => void): () => Promise<undefined>`
* `path: string` - the item in the filesystem that have been changed
* `flags: number` - a numeric value describing what the change was
* `id: string` - an unique-id identifying this specific event
Returns closer callback which when called returns a Promise resolving when the watcher process has been shut down.
###### `fsevents.getInfo(path: string, flags: number, id: string): FsEventInfo`
The `getInfo` function takes the `path`, `flags` and `id` arguments and converts those parameters into a structure
that is easier to digest to determine what the change was.
The `FsEventsInfo` has the following shape:
```js
/**
* @typedef {'created'|'modified'|'deleted'|'moved'|'root-changed'|'cloned'|'unknown'} FsEventsEvent
* @typedef {'file'|'directory'|'symlink'} FsEventsType
*/
{
"event": "created", // {FsEventsEvent}
"path": "file.txt",
"type": "file", // {FsEventsType}
"changes": {
"inode": true, // Had iNode Meta-Information changed
"finder": false, // Had Finder Meta-Data changed
"access": false, // Had access permissions changed
"xattrs": false // Had xAttributes changed
},
"flags": 0x100000000
}
```
## Changelog
- v2.3 supports Apple Silicon ARM CPUs
- v2 supports node 8.16+ and reduces package size massively
- v1.2.8 supports node 6+
- v1.2.7 supports node 4+
## Troubleshooting
- I'm getting `EBADPLATFORM` `Unsupported platform for fsevents` error.
- It's fine, nothing is broken. fsevents is macos-only. Other platforms are skipped. If you want to hide this warning, report a bug to NPM bugtracker asking them to hide ebadplatform warnings by default.
