[lane B+E] Stop the game lying: the death sting at living players, the stuck hiss, and a crew naming the wrong organ
Four audio/comms cues wired to the wrong condition. All four are written content that has been
in the repo for rounds, firing at the wrong moment or never firing at all.
THE DEATH STING PLAYED AT LIVING PLAYERS. finish() mapped every non-win outcome to `death` — and
`death` is not a stinger, it is a ~12 s noise table (synth.js). So surviving L1's Mast Cell
("degranulated"), outrunning the Tapeworm ("escaped") and clearing the Sovereign's Toll all told
an alive player they had died, over the top of the next twelve seconds of play. Outcomes are
classified now: won/spared/communion triumph, alive-but-it-went-badly gets a downbeat, actually
dead gets the sting, and housekeeping (reset/dispose) is silent because nothing happened to the
player at all. Verified: surviving the Mast Cell no longer emits `death`; dying still does.
THE PHASE TELL WAS A SUSTAINING HISS. boss.js used `overheat` as its phase-change cue, but that
layer sustains until the engine sends `overheat_clear` on a combat:state.overheated falling edge
— which a boss never produces. Every phase change leaked a ~12 s steam hiss and ducked the mix
under it for the rest of the fight. Three sites, now short cues.
THE CREW HAS NEVER MENTIONED HULL DAMAGE. comms.js gates its two hull lines on
`kind === 'hull_hit'`, but `kind` is the damage SOURCE ('dart'|'acid'|'gas'…), so that branch has
never once been true in the game's life and every hit read as a coat graze. damage() already
computes `leak > 0` for its own audio cue — the bus event now carries it as `hull`.
AND IT NAMED THE WRONG ORGAN. There was exactly ONE boss line — "that is the pylorus. it does not
open for you." — fired for all five bosses, so the tutorial's Mast Cell and the campaign's final
boss were both announced as a stomach valve. Per-boss lines now, off boss:start (which is the only
place the id is known, and for the Sovereign whether there is a fight at all). The Mast Cell's is
doing real work: "wait — wait. that is a mast cell. it is not hunting you." / "do NOT shoot it."
The crew is the game's only tutorialisation channel, and that is the lesson L1 exists to teach.

[lane E] The instrument exists: a HUD, and a surgical team who talk to you
#ui had been an empty div since round 0 — E never ran. It has an owner now. HUD (charter #1): coat/hull, heat, torpedo pips, speed/flow/throttle, boost, score, combo, biome + segment name, and a progress rail with C's 10 checkpoints ticked. Bus-only — zero imports from B, exactly as the charter asks. player:state and combat:state arrive every frame and ARE the clock, so the HUD cannot tick while the game isn't running. 60fps law: DOM is built once; the hot path is transform + textContent-on-change only. Bars scale (scaleX), they never resize — a width:% write per bar per frame is a layout pass. Torpedo pips rebuild only when ammoMax changes, not when ammo does. COMMS — on nobody's list. Argued for, then built. The GDD says "Star Fox arcade flow" and there was nobody in the game but the player. Three-hander: voss (attending, terse), park (resident, over-excited), adeyemi (immunology, apologetic — and amber, the colour of the cells attacking you; his fault). Deterministic round-robin per trigger key, no RNG. Priority ladder + per-key cooldowns so the crew shuts up during a firefight. It turned out to be more than flavour: it is the tutorialisation channel the GDD asks for and L1 has no other vehicle for. The hazard lines teach what C's HAZARDS registry note says the hazard IS ("ring gate. it opens on a beat — match the beat, do not ram it"). Keys are the real HAZARDS ids, checked against levels/enemies.js rather than guessed — all three L2 kinds get bespoke lines, zero generic fallbacks. A level's worth of dialogue is now a data edit in LINES. Three defects, all mine, all found by the stepped sim, none visible to the eye: - The progress rail was dead. I read `level.length` — a field that does not exist. The level carries segments, not a total. It now uses the runtime world.length that B already divides into p.progress. - My clock was fiction. Comms counted `+= 0.1` per timer tick and called it seconds; a backgrounded tab throttles setTimeout to ~1s, so lines held ~10x too long. It now reads performance.now(). - Every hazard warning had the LOWEST priority in the game. PRI has a key `warn`, but say() is called with `warn_reflux_surge`, so PRI[key] was undefined and fell through to the default of 1 — the surge screaming "GO. GO." could be talked over by park admiring a specimen. Keys now resolve exact-then-family. The evidence shot IS the fix: same seed, same frame, the warning now sits where the checkpoint line used to be. ### -> Lane B — player:state stops emitting the moment you die player.js:103 early-returns before the emit when !st.alive. So `alive` is unobservable (E can only ever read true — the field is currently decorative), and E cannot use player:state as a clock, because it stops exactly when the death UI needs to run and through boot's whole 2.0s respawn window. Comms works around it with its own wall-clock. The death/respawn feed-drop (charter #4) will not be able to. Ask is in NOTES; not patching your file. ### -> Lane F — two contract items I edited boot.js (~10 lines mirroring your own dynamic-import/try-catch/ console.info fallback) because #ui needed an owner and two modules nothing constructs aren't worth much. Ratify or move it. Second: shot_sink.py cannot photograph Lane E — it POSTs renderer.domElement.toDataURL(), and the HUD is a DOM overlay, so the house evidence tool renders it invisible. This shot is a composite (canvas -> 2D canvas, then #ui via an SVG foreignObject). Offer to lift it into pipeline/ as DBG.shotUI() stands. qa GREEN. Evidence: docs/shots/laneE/round2_hud_aortic.webp (s=1111, seed 7, live hazard warn + x6 chain). Dev server guts-e on 8146. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
