Picking up an object ends the turn's actions AND movement — yet the
end-turn caution still tallied the unspendable points as regret. The
unspent-movement reason now stays quiet once actions have ended:
those points cannot be spent, only mourned.
And the raycaster has no downward pitch, so whatever lay in your own
square — a treasure, a dropped blade — was invisible from inside the
cockpit. An "at your feet" tray now rides the pane's bottom edge on
your turn: your square's floor treasures and objects as clickable
icons, each a one-tap pickup through the same commands the board's
buttons send.

Hovering the pane now shows what a click would do: a wizard or
creature outlines in gold with its name at the crosshair, a wall or
door face lights across every column it owns, and a floor square
draws its perspective-true quad on the ground. Warp-bent ground still
targets truly but labels itself "through the warp" rather than
drawing a quad in the wrong geometry. And when a cell-target card is
selected, the ineligible ground dims in the 3D view itself — the same
litCells the board's shadow uses, rasterized into the floor pass.

Clicks in the first-person view now act. The renderer keeps what the
last frame knew — per-column depth, warp bends, every wall hit's edge,
every sprite's screen rect with its identity — and hitTest inverts the
projection: the nearest visible sprite answers as its wizard or
creature, a struck wall or door answers as its edge, and the ground
answers as the square under the pixel, warp-bent columns mapping their
virtual floor back to real cells through the warp's own rigid motion.
The pane hands each target to the very functions the top-down board's
clicks use, so pane and map can never disagree: click the floor ahead
and you walk there; click a door with a key selected and the lock
turns; click a wizard with an attack and the spell flies.
The keymap token now wears a golden wedge showing the camera's compass
quadrant — the cockpit and the chart always agree on which way you
face. Verified live: a floor click became a real move command in the
room ledger, edge clicks resolve and defer correctly, and the wedge
tracks quarter-turns.

Milestone two opens with touch. Faint chevrons live along the pane's
four edges — left and right strips quarter-turn the camera (always),
top and bottom stride forward and back (your turn only, through the
same commands, cautions, and wall-bounces as the keys). Quiet under a
resting eye, brighter under a pointer, generous under a thumb.

FPV play begins. On your turn the pane takes the helm: arrows or WASD
— quarter-turns are free camera, a stride issues a REAL move command
through the same cautions and refusals as a board click, and a wall
bounces you with the table's own toast. While the player steers, the
director keeps its hands off the idle facings; your own magic still
turns your head, and cutaways still fire. The layout inverts to match
the mode: the 3D view is the primary window into the game, the
top-down board reduced to a keymap beneath it, with the control hint
in the pane's corner. Typing in chat is never hijacked.

Eric's layout call: the first-person pane wears exactly the board's
width, directly above it. A shrink-wrapped column stacks the two, with
the pane held out of the intrinsic sizing (width:0, min-width:100%) so
the BOARD alone decides how wide the column is; the canvas keeps its
aspect as it scales.

A pane above the board plays the game through your own eyes while you
play it — the board below stays the tactical truth. One new module,
fpv/director.ts, extracts the reel's directorial instincts (the aim
ladder, the hurl test, the glide gatherer) so the replay and the live
pane share one eye and can never drift; Replay is refactored onto it
unchanged. LiveFirstPerson.svelte feeds the shared FirstPerson
renderer from the live event stream: every batch plays through the
same fx pipeline as the instant replay — projectiles, door swings,
conjurations growing — while the camera walks your strides, turns to
your aims and to actors in your sight, cuts away (with your own body
in frame) to deeds beyond it, and never idles nose-to-brick. Bodies
glide between server views. A ✕ hides the pane; the liveFp preference
(on by default) brings it back.
