The first foe with an ATTACH state machine, and the first that gives boost a defensive job. Giardia chases like a seeker, CLAMPS its ventral suction disc onto your hull, and drains coat while it rides — until a boost's i-frames throw it (or it lets go after attachMax, then can't re-grab for reattachCd). The counterplay is timing a boost, not out-running it. - enemies.js: `latcher` archetype — a two-state (chase / attached) branch. Attached, it rides player.pos + a spin offset and drains `drain`/tick; ps.iframeT > 0 (boost) detaches and flings it clear. Amber tetrahedron (the trophozoite), so a clinging one reads on the hull. - levels/enemies.js: ARCHETYPES += latcher; catalogue `giardia_latch` (biome small_intestine). - L2: one Giardia previewed on the open thoracic run (s1940) — it belongs to L4's villi maze, but the grab works in a flow tube, so it teaches the boost-dodge verb now. Verified: it chased + clamped, drained coat 100->84 while attached, and a simulated boost (iframeT) shook it off. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

// levels/enemies.js (Lane C) — the enemy CATALOGUE: fiction id → archetype + skin.
|
|
//
|
|
// WHY THIS EXISTS: level JSONs name enemies in fiction ("bolus_chunk"), not in mechanics
|
|
// ("floater"). This is the join table between the two, and nothing more.
|
|
//
|
|
// OWNERSHIP (settled with Lane B's round-1 work, see LANE_C_NOTES.md §→ Lane B):
|
|
// Lane B owns MECHANICS — hp, radius, speed, damage, fire rate, score. They live in
|
|
// combat/balance.js, tuned against B's cannon and B's feel numbers, and they are keyed by
|
|
// ARCHETYPE. This file deliberately does NOT restate them: an hp of "2 shots" here and an
|
|
// hp of 24 there (against damage 12) is the same number twice, which is one number too
|
|
// many. If you want to know what a bolus chunk can take, ask balance.js.
|
|
// Lane C owns COMPOSITION — which fiction appears, how many, where, in what order, and
|
|
// what it is called. That is this file plus the level JSONs.
|
|
//
|
|
// LANE B: resolve a spawn with `getEnemy(ev.enemy)?.archetype` — one line, snippet in
|
|
// LANE_C_NOTES.md §→ Lane B. The three bare archetype names also resolve (passthrough
|
|
// entries at the bottom), so the round-0 stub level and anything already built against it
|
|
// keep working unchanged.
|
|
//
|
|
// Pure data + pure functions: no imports, no THREE. Must stay node-runnable (qa selfcheck).
