Parley's review: dither full of green spots, baked rooms don't match the
nav graph (doors painted on closed walls, real openings off-center).
Both root-caused:
- pixelate.py: the nearest-color LUT was spaced in LINEAR RGB, cramming
the whole shadow range into ~4 cells — dark picks were effectively
arbitrary (green/teal confetti in warm near-blacks). LUT is now
sRGB-spaced, diffusion error is gamut-clamped (no more blue blobs at
torch highlights), and a new --overshoot penalty forbids choosing a
color more saturated than the source. Green-dominant dark pixels on
the test frame: 5.2% -> 0.02%, while palette usage went UP (107 -> 135
colors). Recipe rev 2: append --overshoot 6.
- fpv.js: new directedVantage(env, region, dir) — per-(room,facing)
camera instead of one room-wide vantage. Open ahead: stand in a cell
whose straight-ahead ray escapes through the actual gap (the passage
you walk is centered, 2-7 cells deep). Closed ahead: stand ~2 cells
from the wall, deliberately OFF the room's axis — a symmetric stage
begs the model to paint a centered focal door; an off-axis dead-end
corner doesn't. Walls also render under their own fixed seed and an
emphatic sealed-masonry prompt clause (cfg 1.0 negatives are inert).
Validated on seed 7 room 1: the closed-N phantom door is gone; the open-S
passage is dead-center. Full campaign re-bake follows as its own commit.
Also: rest-overlay no longer sticks without a keyup, in-combat drink
message, feathered sprite mask, no monster packs on floor 1.

Render actual generated dungeons through the AI pipeline — both top-down and
first-person (Eye-of-the-Beholder style) — instead of synthetic test depth.
All renderer-side: derived from the envelope's tiles+regions+theme, the core
stores none of it.
- depth.js: top-down height-field depth exporter (walls raised, pools recessed,
pillars as bumps, subtle per-theme relief), calibrated to the proven room_depth
levels so one tall room can't crush every floor dark.
- fpv.js: first-person depth via a Wolfenstein-style grid raycaster (16:9),
reports straight-ahead distance for opening detection.
- explore.js: room->room nav graph derived from REAL tile openings (scan
boundary gaps, bin by cardinal, flood the corridor to the destination room) —
nav + open share one source of truth with the rendered passages.
- bake_atlas.py: bakes per-room x4-facing pixel-art frames; per-theme + per-facing
(wall vs passage) prompts, fixed diffusion seed for cross-frame style coherence,
per-run unique prefixes so re-bakes don't silently skip.
- explore.html + explore-viewer.js: WASD first-person dungeon explorer
(room-to-room movement, turning, minimap), integer-pixel fullscreen.
- serve.py: stdlib dev server — static web root + /out tree + POST /save, no-store.
- main.js/render.js/style.css: export hooks, the depth button, distanceToWall export.
- tools/README.md: Stage 0/1/2/3 docs; .dev/2026-06-01-fpv-prompts.md: prompt
research (cfg-1 negatives are inert; trigger words summon hands; empty-ruin
reframe; fixed seed = consistency).
Proven end-to-end on seed 7 (17 rooms). Outputs organized under git-ignored
tools/out/. Control strength: 0.80-0.85 top-down, 0.85 first-person.

Adds RegionTheme + RoomThemer: a pure classifier (no tile changes) that
labels each room (terrain-driven Forge/Cistern/Hall, special Throne/
Threshold, weighted Crypt/Den/Library/Vault/Stone). Renderer tints themed
rooms; EntityPlacer biases contents by theme. Entrance/exit now chosen
RNG-free from geometry so themer & placer agree.

The roadmap capstone: the dungeon is now populated.
- New entity layer: src/entity.rs (Entity { kind, at }, EntityKind {Entrance,
Exit, Treasure, Monster}); Map gains an `entities: Vec<Entity>` overlay field
(serde round-tripped). Entities aren't terrain, so no new Tile and the frozen
viz is untouched.
- EntityPlacer/EntityConfig: places one Entrance (random room), one Exit (the
room farthest from it — a traversal goal), per-room Treasure (treasure_chance)
and Monsters (monster_chance, 1..=max, never in the entrance room). All on
plain Floor only, never two per cell, fully deterministic.
- Handoff via the Blackboard (the designed side channel for non-tile/region/edge
data) under entity::BLACKBOARD_KEY, harvested by Pipeline into Map.entities —
so GenContext's 25 literals stay untouched.
- Renderer draws iconic markers on the final stage: green beacon (entrance),
cyan portal (exit), gold diamond (treasure), crimson eyed-blob (monster), each
with a soft glow. New entities toggle + treasure/monster sliders + readout.
Core: 135 tests green (6 new: one entrance/one exit on distinct floor, entrance
room monster-free, determinism, empty-map, recipe populated-check). clippy
clean. Pipeline is now 9 passes.

Seventh pass (before pillars): floods an organic blob of Water or Lava into
some larger rooms via randomized BFS growth.
- New Tile::Water / Tile::Lava (impassable hazards). Exhaustive matches updated
(ascii '~'/'!', frozen viz colors, wasm codes 4/5).
- PoolDecorator/PoolConfig (water_chance, lava_chance, min_room): blob is
interior-only (>= 2 from edge, never the center), and a connectivity guard
verifies the room's remaining floor stays 4-connected with the center intact
before committing — so a pool never orphans part of a room.
- DungeonConfig gains `pools`; recipe inserts PoolDecorator after DoorPlacer.
- Renderer: water as cool reflective pools; lava as molten rock that ALSO
throws warm light onto nearby floor (BFS light field, wall-blocked) — lava
chambers visibly glow. New water/lava sliders.
Core: 125 tests green (4 new: interior placement, floor stays connected,
zero/small-room skip, determinism); connectivity holds with pools in the
default recipe. clippy clean (core + viz).

Per feedback ("not every room needs pillars"): default PillarConfig drops to
room_chance 0.30 / min_room 7 (was 0.55/7). A typical dungeon now has a couple
of distinctive pillared halls rather than pillars in most rooms — measured ~14
of 24 default seeds carry any pillars at all, usually just one room's worth.
The pillars slider still goes to 1.0 for full colonnades.
Also expose pillarTiles in the web state() hook (iteration/measurement aid).

A finishing decorator that scatters free-standing pillar columns into larger
rooms on a spaced interior grid. Sixth pass in the dungeon recipe.
- New Tile::Pillar (impassable like Wall, drawn distinctly). Exhaustive matches
updated: ascii ('o'), frozen macroquad viz (still compiles), wasm code 3.
- PillarPlacer/PillarConfig (room_chance, min_room, spacing): places isolated
single-cell pillars only on interior room floor (>= 2 from the edge, never the
center), on a grid with spacing >= 2 — so the floor stays 4-connected by
construction and a room is never orphaned. Respects non-rect room shapes
(pillars land only on actual carved floor).
- DungeonConfig gains `pillars`; recipe appends PillarPlacer after DoorPlacer.
- Renderer draws pillars as lit stone columns with a contact shadow; new
"pillars" density slider.
Core: 121 tests green (5 new: interior-only placement, floor stays connected,
zero-chance/small-room skip, determinism). clippy clean (core + viz).

RoomCarver now rolls a per-room shape within its chosen rectangle, weighted by
a new RoomConfig.shapes (ShapeWeights). The rect is still picked first and
unchanged, so room centers — and the corridors wired between them — are
identical to before; only the carved interior differs.
- Shapes built from per-row contiguous spans → guaranteed 4-connected and
convex, so flood-fill never strands a cell.
- Hard invariant: every shape contains rect.center() (the corridor target),
with a fallback to a full rect for tiny rooms or any non-covering shape —
keeps MstConnect/CorridorCarver correct.
- ShapeWeights::default() is rect-only (preserves old behavior + existing
tests); the dungeon recipe opts into ShapeWeights::varied().
- Configs lose Eq (now carry f64 weights); serde unaffected.
Core: 116 tests green (new forced-shape invariants test: in-bounds, center
carved, non-rectangular, 4-connected); connectivity + determinism + door tests
all pass with varied shapes active. Surfaced as 4 shape-weight sliders in the
web playground.

Phase 0+1 of the browser viz effort:
- core: drop unused `rand` dep (removes getrandom/libc → clean wasm32 build);
derive serde on DungeonConfig + 5 sub-configs so the bridge can (de)serialize
- reikhelm-wasm: thin wasm-bindgen cdylib exposing generate(seed, config_json)
-> JSON envelope (tiles as int codes, regions, edges, per-pass snapshots) and
default_config_json(); holds no generation logic
- workspace: add reikhelm-wasm member; default-members keeps host cargo
test/clippy on core+viz only
- reikhelm-web: vanilla-JS + Canvas 2D renderer running the real core live in
the browser. Atmospheric look — lit stone floor, raised stone walls with
rim-lit carved edges + top bevel, room light-pooling, amber door thresholds,
vignette. Controls: seed/reroll, 9 config sliders, stage scrubber, semantic
overlays (region outlines / graph / grid). window.reikhelm hooks for
Playwright-driven iteration.
Core stays 115 tests green. Driven + screenshotted via Playwright MCP.
