- Widen the data-driven base width and clamp the panel to at least the widest button plus padding, since MenuButton measures itself in the live web font and won't shrink below its label.
- Rewrite layout() with a top-edge-relative p() helper so the header/MINE/CANCEL order stays consistent whether the popup opens above or below the anchor.
- Add dev/popup-shot.html/.mjs to boot the game headless, await the typefaces (same contract as js/main.js), open the mining menu on a deterministic cluster, and report panel/button geometry plus fit booleans.
- Extend dev/wdshot.mjs with an optional settleMs argument so pages with top-level awaits (font loading) can finish their async boot before the setup script runs.
- Click a rock to open a world-anchored mining popup (Mine/Stop/Cancel)
- Mining state machine locks the ship during the ~1.5 s arm extension, then fires an animated beam with ore motes, shock rings, sparks, and periodic surges
- ESC breaks the beam or closes the menu; outside clicks dismiss without flying
- Generalize the top-center console toast so discovery, tether, and mining calls share one slot
- Add a "mining" SFX entry (system-scan.mp3) and update preload/test to cover all configured sounds
- Ship a headless browser test (dev/mining-test.*) that drives the full arm sequence through the real input pipeline
- Replace the old per-rock placement retry loop with a deterministic pairwise relaxation pass (relaxRockGaps) that enforces a gapFactor x (r1+r2) separation between every pair, so rocks keep a subtle visible gap instead of interpenetrating
- Add cluster.gapFactor (default 1.12) and asteroids.compassColor (#c8d2e0) config keys, with updated comments in data/asteroids.json and SystemGenerator.js
- Tint the DiscoveryCompass arrow per target: bake the arrow texture white and tint it to the target's color (worlds keep theme neon cyan, clusters use their light gray)
- Extend dev/asteroids.test.mjs to assert every rock pair respects the gapFactor separation
- Generate 4–8 rock groups per system with seeded placement, spacing, and slow tumble/drift motion driven by data/asteroids.json
- Add AsteroidCluster entity (Phaser container) with halo, dust motes, per-rock spins, and ship keep-out collision reusing Planet.resolve
- Integrate clusters into GameScene: load spritesheet, constrain ship post-physics, include in click-to-fly/autopilot/discovery/compass
- Synthesise unique cluster names via NameGenerator.asteroid (syllables + field suffix)
- Add dev test suite and ?seed= param for deterministic galaxy generation
