jing 2e85ec0622 [lane C] Round 2 WIP (session cut off): schema v2, surf-aware pacing, chase analysis, --probe
Landed before the cut: schema v2 (segments[].wave.amp override, validated — breathe stays
biome-owned); hiatus re-authored tight AND calm (radius back to 6.5, amp 0.6, 3.3u steady
clearance); par 210 -> 180 with full rationale (below throttle-only par-pace, above a surf
run — the medal teaches the mechanic); finale surge 21 -> 24 so surfing is the stylish
escape (required 1.20x); surf profile reads A's live CREST_FACTOR; chaseAnalysis() +
escapability laws in validate; NEW --probe builds A's real canal and measures clearance
against the model (all L2 segments clear the 2.5 floor, hiatus 3.75); isMain guard +
importSpline shim — fixes A's selfcheck process.exit killing C's mid-run (qa.sh had been
green on one level out of three).

Cut off before: fly-through of the integrated build (blocked on B), pickup economy handover
(B proposed numbers in balance.js meanwhile — reconcile), L1 encounter design doc, GDD boss
folding, NOTES. Committed by F to protect the shared tree; levels selfcheck 3/3 GREEN.

GUTS — a fantastic voyage through the alimentary canal

Browser flight-combat game (three.js, zero build step). You pilot ENDO-1, a microscopic probe, mouth → rectum through five anatomically-grounded biomes: ride peristalsis down the esophagus, cross the acid sea of the stomach, thread the villi forest of the small intestine, survive the gas swamps of the colon. Fantastic Voyage × Star Fox × Descent.

Run it

cd web && python3 -m http.server 8140
# http://localhost:8140            — the game
# http://localhost:8140/?stub=1&dbg=1  — stub world + debug HUD (works from day 0)

No bundler, no npm, no build. ES modules + import map; three.js r175 vendored in web/vendor/ (never CDN — the game must run offline). Before you finish a session: bash tools/qa.sh.

The one-paragraph tech pitch

The whole canal is a spline. World position is (s, θ, ρ) — distance along the canal, angle and radius in the cross-section. Tube walls are chunked extrusions along parallel-transport frames; peristalsis and breathing are vertex-shader displacement (cheap, squishy, everywhere); collision is an analytic radius test (no physics engine). Caverns (mouth, stomach) switch the same controller to free 6DOF. Look is synthetic scanner — dark endoscope void, SEM-style monochrome walls with FLUX-generated detail textures, emissive-coded enemies. Everything is seeded + deterministic, and every asset is optional at runtime — the game boots and plays asset-free with procedural fallbacks.

Hard laws (all lanes)

  1. Determinism. No Math.random outside js/core/rng.js. Seeded RNG only. qa.sh greps.
  2. Assets are optional. Missing texture/model/audio ⇒ procedural fallback, never a crash.
  3. Eyeball everything. Visual work isn't done until a screenshot is in docs/shots/laneX/.
  4. Perf budget: ≤300 draw calls, 60 fps on M-series / mid laptop. Measure via window.DBG.
  5. Free-first. Local MODELBEAST generation before any paid API; fal.ai is a gated fallback (John's go). See PIPELINE.md.
  6. Git: stage only your exact paths, commit + push each session, never git add ..

Deploy

Target: partly.party (static). Not wired yet — when it's time, consult the deploy-map skill and run ship-check first. Origin: ssh://git@100.71.119.27:222/monster/guts.git.
