Overhaul combat FX: laser bolts, impact reads, shield-sphere strike, and

- Replace dot tracers with elongated glowing bolts (trail band + core streak + head bloom)
  and a directional muzzle flare in both the range and main-game contexts.
- Add enemy impact reads: core flash, directional sparks along the travel vector,
  cyan arc ripple on shield hits vs orange shards on hull hits, white craft hit-flash,
  and a polished damage-number pop.
- Add player shield-sphere strike effect: full-sphere outline + bright arc centered on
  the laser's incoming bearing, radial ripple, spark burst, and a shield-collapse cue
  when shields break to hull.
- Add subtle world-camera shake on player hits, enemy kills, and shield-break while
  keeping the HUD/combat bar perfectly still via the fx-ui camera split.
- Expose new visual knobs (bolt size/trail, muzzle, arc span, shake intensity) in
  data/combat.json; fix Fx.update destroying ships on tintFlash expiry.

# Goal Prompt
=== Goal ===
Objective: A visual overhaul of combat FX in Orbit — visually impressive laser bolts from both the player and enemies, a strong impact read when enemies are hit, and a shield-sphere hit effect that shows the player's shield struck from the laser's incoming bearing with the hit region highlighted — delivered consistently in both combat contexts (the /combat range and the main game's ?combat boot).
Success criteria:
- Player and enemy shots render as elongated glowing bolts: hot-white core, colored halo (cyan player / magenta enemy), a fading motion trail along the flight axis, and a directional muzzle flash on fire — in BOTH the range (js/combat/CombatScene.js) and the main game (js/combat/CombatSystem.js).
- Enemy hits show impact: a hot core flash at the point of impact, directional sparks along the bullet's travel vector, a visible white hit-flash on the enemy craft, a cyan arc ripple on shield hits vs orange sparks/debris on hull hits, and a polished damage-number pop.
- Player shield hits read as a sphere being struck: a brief full-sphere outline flash, a bright arc segment centered on the laser's incoming bearing (the highlighted hit region), a radial ripple from the impact point, and a spark burst — intensity scaled with damage, decaying over ~0.5s. A shield→hull break shows a distinct shield-collapse cue. Rams (ship collisions) get the same impact treatment.
- Subtle world-camera shake on player hits, enemy kills, and shield-break — the separate fx-ui camera keeps the HUD/combat bar perfectly still.
- New visual parameters (bolt size/trail, muzzle, arc span, shake intensity, etc.) are tunable in data/combat.json, consistent with the project's single-tuning-surface convention.
- No regressions: dev/combat.test.mjs passes with 0 failures; both contexts boot and play; no new dependencies, no build step.
Boundaries:
- In scope: js/combat/Bullet.js, js/combat/Fx.js, the FX call sites in js/combat/CombatScene.js and js/combat/CombatSystem.js (firing, collisions, damage, kills), camera shake wiring, and tuning knobs in data/combat.json.
- Out of scope: gameplay numbers (damage, cooldowns, speeds, hull/shield values), enemy AI, new weapons or skills, audio changes (existing SFX events stay as-is), HUD/combat-bar redesign, and non-combat main-game visuals.
Constraints:
- Plain ES6 modules, no build step, no new dependencies (Phaser 4.2.1 stays vendored).
- No particle emitters — this build's emitter velocity semantics are fiddly (documented in js/combat/Fx.js); follow the existing hand-rolled pattern: canvas-generated textures + additive-blended images stepped in update().
- Keep the FX cheap enough for 60fps with 3+ enemies and auto-fire (small per-hit item counts, shared textures, depth discipline: ships 10, FX 19–22, HUD 100).
- Implement in the SHARED code (Fx.js / Bullet.js) so the range and the main game stay identical; both contexts' FX call sites must be updated together.
- Camera shake on the world camera only (the fx-ui UI camera must remain unshaken).
Verification contract:
- Run `node dev/combat.test.mjs` → 0 failures.
- Manual pass in the range (/combat via the dev server) AND the main game (index.html?combat): player cannon fires elongated bolt + trail + directional muzzle flash; enemy hits show the impact event with distinct shield (cyan ripple) vs hull (orange debris) reads; an enemy lance landing on the player shows the sphere struck — arc highlight centered on the laser's bearing + ripple + sparks, with a shield-collapse cue when shields break; kills show the burst + subtle shake; HUD stays still throughout.
- Re-read this goal's requirements (lasers, enemy impact, shield sphere hit from the laser's angle, hit-region highlight, shake) and confirm every item is addressed in both contexts before marking complete.

First, let me look at the committed screenshot evidence and the README combat section.\n\nI've confirmed the screenshots show the combat HUD, reticles, and kill feed elements. Now I'll run the live CDP checks to verify SFX wiring and flight feel in the running dev environment.\n\nAll verification paths are now confirmed. Let me do a final constraint sweep before deciding.\n\n## Audit summary\n\nI verified the executor's claims against the actual repository and ran the live verification contract myself (dev server + CDP browser were available):\n\n**1. Distinct VFX + SFX per event, both contexts**\n- Code: `CombatScene.js` (range) and `CombatSystem.js` (main) both funnel every event through the shared `combatSfx`/`combatSfxEnemyHit` (7 distinct voices — scan/ui_click/solar_buzz/mining_split/thunder×4/deconstruct/discovery, all existing `data/sfx.json` files, all confirmed on disk) and the shared procedural `Fx` (muzzle flash, color-coded shield-cyan/hull-orange hit flash + damage number, kill burst with double ring, DOWN burst, REFORMED bloom — all canvas dots/additive).\n- Live: `node dev/combat.sfxcheck.mjs` → **PASS** in both `/combat` and `index.html?combat`, all seven events through the shared path (I ran it, exit 0).\n\n**2. Readability layer live in both contexts** (my own CDP probes)\n- Range: `lastFlash={kind:shield}`, kill feed entry landed, lock target acquired; gauge-flash overlay live (peak alpha 0.72, decaying).\n- Main: same, with the flash positioned exactly on the `CombatBar.gaugeRect('shield')` track (peak alpha 1.0), bar visible, feed entry, target true.\n- Committed screenshots `dev/shots/combat-range.png` / `combat-main.png` visually show: lock reticle, threat dots, kill feed \"HOSTILE DESTROYED\", damage numbers (\"10\"), kill burst, tracer, combat bar gauges.\n\n**3. Ship handling (range WASD)**\n- `node dev/combat-flycheck.mjs` → **PASS**: 337 ms to 60% maxSpeed, 133 ms to 30° turn, 7.45 rad/s sustained spin, 308 ms stop from 560 px/s.\n- Real keyboard check: actual 'W' keydown accelerated the ship 0→526 px/s; keyup released it.\n- Values live in `data/combat.json` → `combat.player`; pure `handleFeel` in `js/combat/Combat.js`; both contexts read the same file (weapon, armor, readability, bar).\n\n**4. Tests & docs**\n- `node dev/combat.test.mjs` → 96 checks, **0 failures** (exit 0); `sfx.test.mjs` 21/21.\n- `dev/combat-shot.mjs` follows the `dev/cdp-shot.mjs` CDP pattern; README combat section fully documents feel, the VFX set, the SFX map, the readability layer, and all three dev checkers + hooks.\n\n**Constraints honored**: pure rules in `Combat.js` (unit-tested), single tuning surface `data/combat.json`, shared modules across both contexts (no divergent copies), no new binary game assets (only the two evidence screenshots in the diff), hand-rolled circle collision only, skill stubs (`cast()` no-op), energy gauge (regen 0, full), and auto-fire left as-is, Phaser 4 UMD + plain ES6.\n\nEvery explicit success criterion and the verification contract are genuinely satisfied; the executor's claims match the evidence I independently reproduced.\n\n<approved/>","at":"2026-09-16T09:04:06.559Z"}

Let me run my own live probe against both contexts to verify boot, the FX paths, and the camera-shake split.\n\nI found some console errors in the probe (a `setTintFill` deprecation and a `wallClamp` TypeError). Let me investigate both.\n\n## Audit report\n\nI verified the goal against the real artifacts, including live browser probes of both contexts (dev server + CDP). Much of the visual work is genuinely present, but the implementation contains a fatal regression in the shared FX path that breaks \"both contexts boot and play\" and silently fails one explicit success criterion.\n\n### Verified as delivered\n- **Bolts in both contexts** — `js/combat/Bullet.js` builds a 128×32 canvas bolt (fading trail band + core streak + head bloom) with an untinted white core dot riding the tip; tinted cyan (`#00e5ff`) / magenta-pink (`#ff2d6f`) from `data/combat.json` weapon colors; `boltLength/boltWidth` knobs read and applied (live probe: `boltScale [54,12]`, textures present, bolts visible in both committed screenshots).\n- **Directional muzzle flash** — `Fx.muzzle` (bore spike + bloom + cross glint, rotated to firing axis) called at every fire site in `CombatScene.firePlayer/fireEnemy` and `CombatSystem.firePlayerAt/fireEnemy`.\n- **Enemy impact read** — `Fx.enemyHit`: core flash, sparks along the travel vector, cyan arc + ring on shield hits vs orange shards + tight ring on hull, damage-number pop with scale-settle. Live-verified on the range (`arcFlash`, `ring`, 17 sparks, `tintFlash`, `text` all spawned).\n- **Shield-sphere hit from the laser's bearing** — `Fx.shieldImpact`: full-sphere outline + bright arc centered on the bearing (live check: bearing 135° → texture rotated exactly 135°), ripple, bearing-biased sparks, damage-scaled `k`, 520 ms decay; `shieldBreak` collapse cue (implosion + shockwave + shedding) fired on shield→hull break; rams route through the same bearing-based `damagePlayer`. Both contexts call the identical shared methods.\n- **Shake** — `combatShake` on hit/kill/break with `fx.shake` knobs (0.0045/0.007/0.011, 230 ms); live probe: world camera shake running, `fx-ui` camera shake inactive.\n- **Tuning surface, tests, constraints** — all knobs in `data/combat.json`; `node dev/combat.test.mjs` = 146 checks, 0 failures; no new dependencies (Phaser vendored), no build step, hand-rolled FX pattern (no emitters); depths in the 19–22 band, ships 10, HUD ≥60–120.\n\n### Blocking findings (verified live, not speculation)\n1. **`Fx.update` destroys the ships.** The expiry branch unconditionally calls `it.img.destroy()` — but `craftFlash` pushes items whose `img` is the ship itself (`kind:'tintFlash'`, 150–160 ms). Evidence:\n - Unit: real `Fx` class, `shieldImpact` + `fx.update(700ms)` → `shipDestroyedAfterShieldImpactExpire: true`.\n - Range: runtime stack captured `Ship.destroy ← Fx.update (Fx.js:599)`; after one non-lethal hit the enemy craft is gone 150 ms later with `dead:false` (no kill FX, no respawn bookkeeping — a ghost), then `CombatScene.update` throws `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'velocity')` (`wallClamp`/`updatePlayer`) and the game loop dies. I reproduced this on a fresh page with no interaction beyond letting the pack fight.\n - Main game: the moment `combat.update` stepped, all 21 FX items — including the player ship's `tintFlash` — were consumed/destroyed.\n This contradicts \"both contexts boot and play\", \"no regressions\", and corrupts hit/kill/respawn bookkeeping in both contexts.\n2. **\"Visible white hit-flash on the enemy craft\" is not delivered.** In this vendored Phaser 4.2.1 build, `setTintFill` is a removed no-op that only `console.error`s (verified in `lib/phaser.min.js`: `` setTintFill:function(){console.error(...)}``). So `craftFlash` sets `setTint(0xffffff)` (invisible on an untinted sprite), the FILL mode is never applied, and the fallback bloom never triggers (nothing throws). Every hit spams a console error; the required white craft flash is absent.\n\n### Minor observations\n- Three untracked, unreferenced MP3s under `assets/fx/` (not wired into `data/sfx.json` or `CombatSfx.js`) — noise against the \"audio changes out of scope\" boundary.\n- In my main-game probes the `GameScene.update` loop was idle (tutorial comms hold), and the committed main-game screenshot shows a straight line of static bolts — the \"main game plays\" evidence is weaker than the range evidence, independent of the defects above.\n\nThe laser/impact/shield-sphere visuals are mostly real and well-built, but the shared `Fx` class killing the hit craft on flash expiry is a fatal, reproducible regression in the range (and a latent player-ship destroy in the main game), and the white hit-flash requirement is silently unmet.\n\n<disapproved/>","at":"2026-09-17T04:42:45.235Z"}

Now the shake module and tuning surface.\n\nNow let me inspect the call sites in both contexts.\n\nThe dev server and headless browser are live. Let me check the debug seams exposed by both contexts, then run a read-only live probe.\n\nI've verified the code paths on both sides. Now I'll run a live probe of both contexts through the dev server to confirm everything's working.\n\nThe two \"FAIL\"s within the range are actually bugs in my probe (scale is 46×10 world px = elongated; -180° ≡ 180°). The main game result needs investigation — let me inspect the actual shape of `__ORBIT_COMBAT__`:\n\nAll checks are now resolved. Final audit summary:\n\n**Verified via code inspection + live CDP probes in both contexts (range `/combat` and `index.html?combat`), with zero console errors:**\n\n1. **Laser bolts (both contexts):** 128×32 canvas bolt texture (fading trail band + bright core streak + head bloom) scaled to 46×10 px player / 54×12 px enemy (elongated 4.6:1, measured), tinted halo (cyan `00e5ff` player, `#ff2d6f` enemy from weapon config), untinted white core dot riding the tip (measured offset 17.25 px ahead of center), directional muzzle flare — bore spike measured at the exact firing angle in both contexts. `fx.muzzle` + `spawnBullet(boltLength/boltWidth)` call sites are symmetric in `CombatScene.js` and `CombatSystem.js`.\n\n2. **Enemy impact reads:** hot white + colored core flash, directional sparks/shards measured within the cone along the bullet's actual travel vector, white craft hit-flash via `tintMode=1` FILL (measured `ffffff`/mode 1 during flash, restored to 0 on expiry — and the previously-flagged ship-destruction defect is fixed: enemy and player ship both survive expiry, verified live), cyan arc ripple at the exact incoming bearing (travel +180°, measured 134.2°/134.2° in range and −42.5°/−42.5° in main) vs orange bolt-textured shards + tight orange ring with **no** arc on hull hits (measured), damage-number pops (measured \"10\"/\"8\").\n\n3. **Shield-sphere strike:** faint full-sphere outline + bright arc segment (1.90 rad, span-keyed texture `__combat_shield_s1.90`) centered exactly on the laser's incoming bearing (measured 135° and 45°), radial ripple from the impact point, outward-biased spark burst, ship white flash, damage-scaled intensity, ~0.5 s decay (config `decayMs: 520`); shield→hull break shows the `ringIn` implosion + shockwave (measured); rams funnel through the same bearing-based `damagePlayer` treatment in both contexts.\n\n4. **Shake:** world camera `shakeEffect` measured running on player hit, enemy kill, and shield-break; `fx-ui` camera measured inactive in both contexts (HUD/bar on the untouched UI pass).\n\n5. **Tuning surface:** `boltLength/boltWidth/muzzle` + `fx.shake` + `fx.shield` knobs in `data/combat.json`, all read via `config.get/section`; live values match config; git diff confirms only visual knobs were added (no gameplay numbers touched).\n\n6. **No regressions:** `node dev/combat.test.mjs` → 146 checks, 0 failures, exit 0; only that suite imports the changed modules; both contexts boot and play (range fully exercised; main game ran a live 3 s auto-fire fight with the pack intact, ship alive); diff confined to `js/combat/*` + `CamShake.js` + `data/combat.json` — no new dependencies, no build step, hand-rolled FX (no emitters), depth discipline (ships 10 / FX 19–22 / HUD 100) holds.\n\nThe eight \"failures\" in my first probe round were all arithmetic/sequencing bugs in my own probe (angle wraparound, aspect-ratio math, a missing target fallback) — each was re-verified individually and passes.\n\n<approved/>","at":"2026-09-17T05:08:04.224Z"}
