type-two 464f5c8a18 [lane E] The game finds its voice: procedural synth bank, the WebAudio graph, the damage feed, and the medal/title/pause cards
Round-1 Lane E audio + the two remaining UI surfaces, consolidated from the JING5
clone onto main and made determinism-clean:
  - audio/synth.js  — procedural voice bank (primary path; audible with an empty manifest)
  - audio/engine.js — WebAudio graph, cue router, bed, heartbeat; now the listener for the
                      11 gameplay bus events that were previously firing into the void
  - ui/feedback.js  — feed-corruption damage overlay (an ART_BIBLE law previously unmet)
  - ui/cards.js     — title / medal / pause cards; boot now honours ui:pause
  - boot.js         — mounts all five modules with per-module failure isolation and a
                      frame() tick (never step(), so stepped sims stay deterministic)

Determinism gate: threaded engine's seeded rnd (mulberry32 off ?seed=) into createSynth,
replacing every Math.random in synth.js. Audio texture is now reproducible per-seed and
qa.sh is green.

Verified: QA green; runtime smoke on ?seed=7 scheduled 182 osc + 91 buffer voices + 268
envelope ramps during play, zero console errors.

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

Live: https://partly.party/gutsy/bash tools/deploy.sh (QA gate → rsync web/ minus dev/docker cp into forum-nginx → verify). No build step; web/ ships as-is.

Two things to know before you touch it, both documented at length in the script header:

  • It's ephemeral. Content lives in the container's own layer (like blobbo/glytch), so a docker compose up --force-recreate or nginx image bump wipes it — re-run the script. The durable fix is a bind mount in forum/docker-compose.yml (what cratewars/roguelike use), which costs a forum-nginx recreate and brief partly.party downtime.
  • A 404 there returns HTTP 200. nginx's catch-all try_files ... /index.html serves the arcade index for any missing file. Verify on content, never on status codes.
