The pieces finally meet: procgen dungeons + the baked EoB atlas pipeline +
the Vigor combat engine become one game. Three fixed pre-baked floors
(seeds 7 → 69 → 59, 208 frames), monsters/loot/encounters rerolled per run
and composited over the empty scenes; the Ember Sovereign waits at the
bottom.
- game-wasm: run state machine in Rust (manifest nav graph as dungeon
truth, seeded spawning by theme/depth, embedded combat-core Encounter,
vigor/fatigue persistence between fights, rest/potions/relics/flee,
permadeath + victory). 8 native tests incl. a whole-run bot and a
ScriptedPlayer boss-winnability probe used for tuning.
- game-web: no-framework front-end — title/death/victory screens, baked
frames with screen-blend monster portraits, combat overlay (dual vigor
bars, cast telegraphs, cooldown sweeps, floaters), minimap with fog,
all SFX synthesized in WebAudio.
- balance: floor-scaled levels with a hero's edge over trash, no packs on
floor 1, boss tuned by sim sweep (~35%/55% win at skill 50/80).
- campaign atlases now versioned (tools/.gitignore exception); boss
portrait added to the Z-Image roster.
Verified end-to-end in-browser: an autopilot beat the full game through
the real UI (10 fights, 2 flees, Sovereign down), and died plenty before
that.

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.
