Introduce a full-screen, click-advanced ceremony (VegaCouncilSession.js)
that replays runCouncil()'s result delegate-by-delegate instead of hiding
the tally behind the turn-report. Three fixed stages — Roster, Voting,
and Verdict — with a persistent 2:3 portrait anchor video, green-screen
ticker, live scoreboard with animated bars, and sting-then-loop audio.
Key changes:
- VegaLogic.js: expose per-voter `voters` breakdown and `pendingSession`
flag so the UI can replay the session before the victory check.
- MasterOfVegaGame.js: consume `pendingSession` in `runToHumanTurn()`
before `state.over`, ensuring a decisive council still gets its ceremony.
- VegaTurnReport.js: remove `council` from NOTABLE_TYPES (ceremony handles
it); keep `councilRefused` as a distinct war-declaration row.
- assetManifest.js / Sounds.js: register video + sting/loop audio cues.
- VegaScreens.js: add `D.council` depth value.
- verifyMasterOfVega.js: assert voter breakdown consistency and pending
session lifecycle.
- Add full-screen intro video (mov-intro.mp4) that plays once on fresh game
entry, with skip prompt on first keypress and immediate skip on second
- Include intro soundtrack (intro-theme.mp3) and updated menu title image
- Skip video on Load-slot resume to avoid interrupting returning players
- Add orange highlight to Colony/Allocation Focus pills when their setting
disagrees with the advisor's recommendation (recommendColonyFocus/
recommendAllocationFocus)
Introduce `VegaCombatV2.js`, a parallel headless combat engine that simulates
individual ships (not stack aggregates) in continuous time rather than discrete
rounds. Ships have per-hull `sizeScale`, `sizeSpeedMult`, and `turnRateBase`
fields; every entity tracks its own cooldown, position, facing, and angular
momentum. Damage and movement are banked per-tick to preserve fairness.
Accompanying files:
- `VegaCombatViewV2.js` — zoomable/pannable Phaser view with parallax starfield
- `VegaCombatCamera.js` — cursor-anchored zoom + drag-to-pan (listener cleanup
on destroy to avoid stacking across battles)
- `VegaFormations.js` — formation strategy plumbing (chosen per side, not yet
read by movement/targeting)
- Hull-specific destroy audio cues and vega buildings art
Wired behind `?movsim`'s Live/V2 toggle in `VegaCombatSim.js` — the live engine
and all real player battles are untouched.
Also fixes several latent bugs discovered during the rewrite:
- Trap 26: simultaneous wipe-out now checks draw before single-side wins
- Trap 27: movement is banked (two-phase) like damage
- Trap 28: weighted-random targeting tames chaotic nearest-neighbour sensitivity
- Trap 29: fleet gap clamped to 85% world width to prevent starvation
- Trap 30: `RANGE_EPS` tolerance prevents steering-induced standoffs
See `docs/mastervega-build-plan.md` for full design notes.
- Implement 10 manual save slots with metadata (turn, year, empire, species, date)
- Add ☰ game menu button with Save, Load, Return to Main Menu, and Quit to Arcade

newturn, unit, view, warp)
- Introduce uiClick() helper to standardize click sound across all modal screens
- Update research video paths for umbrix and rrashaa species
- Refactor button handlers in all Vega screens to use uiClick() pattern
- Save/load uses scene restart via pendingSavedState for clean HUD/map teardown
- Add full diplomacy subsystem: tiered gifts (BC payments with diminishing returns), trade agreements (passive BC income, coexists with treaties, cancelled on war), and espionage mission toggles (Off/Steal/Sabotage) in the Audience screen.
- Implement whole-galaxy diplomacy passes: border and fleet proximity tension, fleet intrusion tracking with escalating penalties and force-opened Audience complaints, and "enemy of my enemy" attitude triangulation.
- Update Audience screen UI with new action buttons, gift picker, intelligence toggle, and species-specific chat dialogue for all diplomacy events.
- Add research choice prompts for ambiguous tech frontier picks, surfaced before the turn report.
- Improve star map: Delaunay triangulation for controlled-space range darkness, staggered docked fleet markers, expanded pan slack to clear UI chrome, and zoom-aware colony info labels.
- Backward-compatible save serialization for new diplomacy fields.
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all new logic, chat completeness, and AI soak validation.
- Add human ship spritesheet (ships.png) and increase frame size to 192x192

Move colony management (sliders, build queue, catalogue) from the
system-view modal into a dedicated full-screen colony view
(VegaColonyView.js). The system view now inspects worlds read-only
with a "View Colony" button to open the management screen.
Key changes:
- Add VegaColonyView.js with colony screen, build queue flyout,
scrolling catalogue, allocation sliders with padlocks, and
planet-type backdrops
- Add world backdrop artwork support (1920×1080, one per planet type)
declared in mastervega-artwork.json worldBackgrounds
- Add headless queue helpers to VegaLogic.js: collapseQueue,
moveQueueRun, colonyBuildRate, queueEtas, enqueueMany
- Fix star map pointer blocking (drags no longer pan map through modal)
- Move ORBIT constant to VegaScreens.js, add D.colony depth layer
- Update docs (build-plan, sprites) and verification suite
The colony screen stacks over the system view without requiring a
second modal, hiding the system layer and pausing the orrery while
open.

Introduces Master of Vega, a turn-based 4X strategy game built on MOO1 rules with MOO2 conveniences. The implementation features a fully headless, deterministic engine (VegaLogic) with zero Phaser dependencies, enabling complete Node-based verification (809 checks) and reproducible galaxy generation via mulberry32 RNG.
Key features:
- Preset ship hulls with an auto-refitting Mark system and provably monotonic knapsack loadouts.
- Tactical grid combat with banked damage resolution to eliminate first-strike bias.
- Galactic Council diplomacy, stalemate-breaking, and invasion forecasting.
- Drop-in artwork compatibility with procedural stand-ins for all spritesheets.
- Hireable leaders (admin/captain) and colony building queues.
Architecture splits cleanly into headless modules (GalaxyGen, Logic, AI, Combat, Diplomacy, Ships, Leaders) and a render tier (StarMap, SystemView, CombatView, Screens, Nebula, Art, Fx). A comprehensive build plan documents 19 architectural traps discovered and resolved during development.
Registers the game in the registry, asset manifest, preload scene, and soundtrack service. Includes tools/verifyMasterOfVega.js for automated rule validation, art verification, economy balancing, and AI self-play soaking.
Introduce a second detection layer independent of line-of-sight vision.
Radar buildings (Radar Tower, Advanced Radar) provide coverage that reveals
unit positions through fog as contacts, while Radar Jammers can blind enemy
radar within range without affecting normal sight.
Key changes:
- Add three sensor buildings: Radar Tower, Advanced Radar, Radar Jammer
- Implement computeRadar() with jamming logic and stampDisc() optimization
- Add isDetectedBy() for radar contact detection
- Draw radar contacts as green diamond blips in WorldView
- Show radar contacts as neutral green pips on minimap
- Expand build grid to 2 rows and artwork sheets to 4 rows
- Refuse repair orders on airborne units; builders stop chasing airborne targets
- Add validation for radarRange and jamRange in rules compiler
- Update sprites.md documentation and add comprehensive tests
Introduce a two-layer domain system (ground/air) that separates units into
independent simulation layers. Air units ignore the nav grid, never collide
with ground units, and can only be targeted by weapons listing "air" in their
targets. Hover units gain water-crossing ability via the move class cost table.
New content:
- Fighter (air interceptor with AA cannons)
- Bomber (ground-attack aircraft with bomb rack)
- Hover Constructor (water-crossing builder)
- Airfield (produces all three air units)
AI gains air superiority management: interceptors hunt enemy aircraft instead
of joining ground pushes, and the production mix auto-counters observed enemy
air. Ground anti-air (rocket troopers/tanks) also gain targeting weight.
Rendering adds a dedicated depth band for aircraft above all ground actors,
plus a displaced shadow sprite for altitude perception. HUD tooltips display
domain and weapon targeting information.
Validation ensures domain/moveClass agreement, requires at least one anti-air
weapon when air units exist, and excludes air classes from corridor generation.
Comprehensive test fixtures cover domain separation, collision, splash, and
order handling.
feat(zuma): redesign level 7
feat(shift): add 9 new artwork pieces
chore: remove Worms game entirely

- Adjust Peggle progress text position to top-right corner
Idle builder units now automatically repair damaged allied structures
and units within their build range. A priority system ensures defensive
buildings are repaired before factories and other buildings. Auto-heal
orders are marked as non-player-assigned so explicit player orders
always take precedence. Builders can re-prioritize targets on a
retargeting cadence, similar to combat target acquisition.
Includes visual asset updates for TA arm and core units/structures.
Adjusts test to isolate passive self-heal from the new auto-heal mechanic.
Introduce three new entities:
- Rocket Trooper: anti-armor infantry with shoulder-mounted guided rocket
- Constructor: unarmed tracked builder to replace lost commander build capacity
- Advanced Vehicle Plant: 4×4 factory with doubled production bays
Update AI composition weights and counter logic for the new units. Fix
byDef map to use Object.create(null) so the "constructor" key doesn't
shadow Object.prototype.constructor and silently poison gap calculations.

- Add cityTileStatus() for consistent worked/idle/taken/offmap classification
- Add describeCityTileTooltip() with terrain title, yield breakdown, missing
improvement explanations, and status line
- Wire improvementSheet and iconSheet paths in civilization-artwork.json
- Add comprehensive verifyCivilization checks for yield notes, centre floor,
tile status, tooltips, and build list capacity
Introduce active diplomacy where rival leaders approach the player with
requests, demands, trades, and gifts rather than passively waiting.
New CivilizationDiplomacy.js module handles:
- 9 request kinds (joinWar, breakTreaty, borderUltimatum, demandGold,
demandTech, techTrade, ceasefire, peace, alliance) with initiative
tiers so urgent calls to arms aren't drowned out by filler offers
- Cooldowns per (leader, target, kind) plus a per-leader gap so a
leader can't spam different requests to bypass rate limits
- Frustration grudge (0-100) raised by refusals, decaying each turn
and dragging attitude toward hostility through the ordinary war path
- Escalation: frustrated leaders demand compensation, then renounce
treaties at breaking point, with ordinary hostility finishing the job
- Border ultimatum promises checked when pledges expire (double penalty
for broken word)
- Unprompted gold/tech gifts from leaders with high attitude
- Staleness validation so requests the world invalidated are dropped
- AI-to-AI requests resolve immediately through the same pipeline
UI changes:
- AI requests queued on state.pendingRequests, presented via audience
popup at the start of the human turn (one per turn, configurable)
- Diplomacy screen shows ACCEPT/REFUSE with consequence hints until
answered; unanswered requests lapse with half-weight penalties
- New event types: treatyRenounced, pledgeBroken/pledgeKept, aiGift
- Leader dialogue for demands, refusals, gifts, and renouncements
- Tetris Attack menu gets a title art backdrop
Data/infra:
- diplomacyRequests tuning in civilization-rules.json (thresholds,
cooldowns, attitude weights, per-request config)
- Frustration, requestCooldown, lastRequestTurn, pledges fields on
civ state — all backward-compatible with old saves
- Full verification suite covering eligibility, resolution, cooldowns,
frustration arc, serialization, and fuzz testing
- Add japanese-themed city sprite sheet (PNG + PSD) and register in artwork config
- Switch several opponents to cyberpunk or japanese city themes
- Fix hut badge stale display by including tile coordinates in hut events and
repainting affected tiles immediately via repaintFromEvents
- Replace diagonal lattice world generation with hash-based jittered grid:
* Shield grassland now uses balanced 2x2 blocks hashed per position to remove
visible screen-space banding while preserving 50% density
* Special resources placed on jittered blocks with adjacency avoidance,
eliminating clumping and barren regions
- Update sprites.md paths and status markers to reflect completed sheets
- Expand verifyCivilization checks for shield density range and special placement
quality (no adjacency, balanced windows, no screen-column alignment)
- Update Tetris Attack dialogue with control instructions and typo fixes
- Implement per-character voice clip system (match, supermatch, win, lose) that
loads lazily per round and falls back gracefully when clips are missing
- Queue voices to play after arcade cues, with intelligent interruption handling
so only one line plays at a time
- Rename ensureRoundBackgrounds to ensureRoundAssets to handle both images and audio
- Reduce background music volume from 0.8 to 0.4
- Update character sprite sheet and document voice clip structure in sprites.md
