Zero-width planes vanish when seen end-on. Each wall edge now rises as
a thin box — masonry thickest, door joinery slimmer, fire a mere sheet
— so the ray march tests the slabs of every cell it passes through and
wall ENDS present a cap face. Corners, jambs, and junctions read as
stone with depth instead of paper. Warp traversal, stone cells, and
the rim keep their crossings; the frame budget doesn't notice.

True floor-casting replaces the gradients and the projected seam lines:
every screen row lies at one depth, walked with a constant world-space
step and sampled from floor.png underfoot and ceiling.png overhead —
each maze cell wearing exactly one tile, so the artist's border IS the
cell seam. Distance shade and fog fold into the same per-pixel pass,
pixel buffers cache per texture (re-read when a painted file lands),
and the whole frame still clears 60fps with room to spare. Flagstones
and dark slabs ship as the starter files beside the other masonry.

Chiseled stone for the walls and rim, oak planks with a riveted iron
band for the doors, rough block for filled stone, licking flame, and a
violet spiral for the warps — dropped into public/textures/ with no
code touched, exactly as the pipeline intended.
The six materials move out of the renderer into public/textures/*.png —
repaint any of them (any size; the sampler reads each file's own scale)
and refresh, exactly as the token SVGs work. fpv/textures.ts keeps the
procedural bake as the shipped default and the stand-in while files
load, and the /?tokens gallery grows a masonry section showing the set
beside the tokens they will someday match.

Walls wear baked 64-texel textures sampled per column — running-bond
brick for the maze, darker courses for the rim, rough blocks for filled
stone, planked doors with an iron band and handle, flame-streaked fire,
swirling violet for the warps — drawn crisp with smoothing off, shaded
by distance and animated by overlay. The floor shows its tile seams:
grid lines projected onto the ground plane, occluded by the walls that
stand on them. And the workshop walks like the game plays: a tap glides
exactly one square with an eased stride, a turn swings a clean quarter,
held keys queueing the next move as each settles.

Sight now runs THROUGH the warps as the rules say: a ray reaching a
mouth re-enters at its pair and marches on, the far side swimming in
violet haze. The floor's furniture joins the scene — bushes stand tall,
safes squat, slime and tacks and pits lie low, dropped daggers glint.
And the replay reel gains a 👁 toggle: relive the catch-up or the whole
tale through your wizard's eyes, the camera turning before it strides,
easing between cells, cutting on teleports, and turning toward whoever
acted while you stood still. The /?fpv workshop grows &demo=1 — two
automatons play a stretch and the real Replay component reruns it.

Stage one of the replay vision: a canvas raycaster over the GameView —
walls on edges marched by DDA, doors with lintels, firewalls that
flicker, rim warp mouths that shimmer violet, token art billboarded and
occluded per column, torchlit vignette. It renders the view a player
would be SENT, so an illusion this wizard has not seen through stands as
solid as stone in first person too. The /?fpv workshop free-flies a
dealt maze with wall collision, a minimap eye-cone, and ?seed=&x=&y=&dir=
to stand the camera anywhere. Next: drive it from the replay reel.

ui-coverage.test.ts fails the suite the moment an engine event has no

Ending a turn on a treasure nobody picked up now asks first (unless the
auto-grab preference is about to take it, or the grab would be refused —
laden arms, weakness, spent actions, glue, a locked safe, or your own
home where the chest already scores; the view learns gluedCells and
openSafes so the check is honest). Stepping onto ground that bites —
thornbush, tacks, pit, ooze — warns with the exact price, unless you are
mist. And the sticky draw picker no longer quietly starves anyone: a
draw below what would fit asks too.

An optional confirmation (on by default, one checkbox to silence) catches
the classic table groans before they land: ending the turn with movement
unspent, ending it with a hand too full to take the draw, and walking off
— or ending on — your own home with a deliverable treasure still in your
arms. Preferences also learn a default automaton skill, remembered from
either the prefs panel or the lobby's tier picker.

Game 6XDY's prisoners expose a nest of turn-burners. The pathfinder
treated pits, ooze, bushes, and slime as walls in transit, so bots stood
"trapped" in pockets any human would wade out of: the march now falls
back to a teeth-gritted hazard route when no clean road exists. Bots no
longer aim attacks into (or out of) a thornbush's shelter the engine
refuses; WIZARDBLADE learns it is a blade (same square only); a cursed
IDIOT skips every rung the curse would refuse instead of burning turns
on them; BUDDY's orientation is righted — whoever pacted YOU is
untouchable, your own pacts are merely precious — and a thief standing
underfoot no longer becomes a null destination that freezes two laden
wizards on the same square forever.

The card's second power was never built. New tearTreasure command: with
STRENGTH on you, in the same square as a carrier, the tear spends your
attack; the victim keeps the treasure only on a D4 roll of 1. Per the
FAQ it is not a pickup (your turn's actions continue), and full or
weakened arms tear it loose onto the floor instead. A torn treasure's
warded owner gets their window, blind grabs flail like blind punches,
and the automatons wrestle too. A new command breaks no stored ledger,
so live games gain the grip at once.

dead events parameter unthreaded from the illusion-sight chain, the
laziness probe in perceivedBoard collapsed to the rule it always produced,
GameView.deckRev retired with its last reader, the ward's arming stub
told honestly, and every comment or test title still citing the retired
revision numbering reworded to the rule it guards. Rim mechanics unify on

redirection swap, and the flat wave all leave with their gates; RULES_REV

The full audit Wall of Fire started: WATERWALL crashes on a warp mouth,
washing both rims inward; ILLUSION WALL hangs its scrim on a mouth (the
create-wall bluff); STONE TO WATER melts a brick over a warp at both ends
and breaches a plain rim wall exactly as DESTROY WALL does — far side
washes out, a warp opens, the wave floods the fresh tunnel; the WARP WAND
bores a temporary wraparound that closes when its wall returns; and
CREATE DOOR stops hanging dead doors onto the void. Older ledgers keep
their refusals and danglings, and replay so.

A warp mouth at the maze's edge is a corridor — the wraparound connects
it to the opposite rim — so the fire may bar it. It takes BOTH mouths

replay so.

The per-step steering recalculated greedily, ping-ponging between routes

An ambush springing TELEPORT OPPONENT opened a stack with params null —
the spring bypasses cast validation and nothing ever asked where the
victim goes — and resolution crashed on the missing cell, wedging the
room 'waiting on Automaton'. Three layers:
- Crash guards: teleport-opponent and mental-force fizzle gracefully on
a destination-less stack (ungated: no stored command had resolved one).
- The trap commits its destination when laid: setAmbush carries a cell
('wherever you say', said in advance), the spring passes it into the
stack, and the client's arming flow asks for the click.
- Rev 35 refuses arming those spells without a destination; older
ledgers armed blind and their springs fizzle.

'Destroys all magical stones an opponent is CARRYING' — the owner's

This time verified properly: a strict replay harness (any refused

'Players or monsters must move away from you on their turn if within
range, if they can.' Automatons caught in the dread now spend their
legs escaping before any other marching — the step that most increases
distance, a true dead end excusing them per the card. Humans keep their
freedom but get the compulsion spelled out in an urgent slip (move
away, even by card or through danger; only a dead end excuses you),
with the maze trusting the table to honor it — the owner's chosen
depth of enforcement.

The FAQ is exact: 'The 3 spaces away is measured as a Wizard walks (if
he could walk through walls), not diagonally' — manhattan, at every
vintage. The walking-distance detour is reverted (no rev-32 ledger ever

The owner caught the metric: a wizard eight squares away as the crow
flies stood three WALKED spaces away through a warp, and the manhattan
check waved it through (while falsely blocking approaches manhattan-
near through solid walls). fearRepels now measures walkingDistance —
the same BFS the maze walks, warps included, walls respected. The
board's aura follows suit: the diamond becomes a violet wash on every
square within three walked spaces, computed by the same BFS, warp
mouths included. No rev-32 ledger existed yet, so the metric corrects
inside rev 32.

'When a player picks up one of your treasures, you may play at that

right: no arming ahead. When a treasure whose owner holds WARD is
grabbed, the grab hangs (new wardPending phase, outranking all other
input) and the owner alone answers: spring it (3 damage, card spent)
or let them go (card kept, silence). Automatons always spring it on a
thief of their gold. The arming mechanic is refused at rev 31 and its
button hidden; rev 3-30 games keep their armed wards and rev 1-2 keep
