## Problem
The ghost/build-menu price of a structure can show the wrong (inflated)
cost. Concretely: a player who owns a **captured** city and then starts
building their **first** city sees the 3rd-city price (**500k**) for
that build instead of the 2nd-city price (**250k**).
## Root cause
Structure cost scales as `2^(units built) × base` (city: 125k / 250k /
500k …), counted via:
```ts
Math.min(player.unitsOwned(type), player.unitsConstructed(type))
```
The `Math.min` is deliberate — it caps the count at how many you've
actually **built**, so **captured** units (owned but not built) don't
inflate the price.
`unitsConstructed()` defeated that by double-counting in-progress
builds:
```ts
const built = this.numUnitsConstructed[type] ?? 0; // already includes the building unit
let constructing = 0;
for (const unit of this._units) {
if (unit.type() !== type) continue;
if (!unit.isUnderConstruction()) continue;
constructing++; // counts the SAME unit again
}
return constructing + built; // doubled
```
`recordUnitConstructed()` is called in `buildUnit()` the moment the unit
is created — while it is still under construction — so
`numUnitsConstructed` already accounts for in-progress builds. The extra
loop counted them a second time.
With one captured city + one city under construction: `unitsOwned = 2`,
double-counted `unitsConstructed = 2`, so `Math.min(2, 2) = 2` → 500k.
Without the double-count it's `Math.min(2, 1) = 1` → 250k. ✅
The redundant loop is a leftover from #2378, which removed the separate
`UnitType.Construction` unit. Back then in-progress builds were a
distinct unit type **not** recorded in `numUnitsConstructed`, so the
loop was needed; afterward it became a pure double-count. This is a
long-standing latent bug — present identically on `v31` — not a recent
regression.
## Fix
`unitsConstructed()` now just returns `numUnitsConstructed[type]`, which
already includes under-construction builds.
## Tests
`tests/economy/ConstructionCost.test.ts` covers both:
- pure case (first city under construction) → still 250k
- captured city + first city under construction → was 500k, now 250k
(fails without the fix with `expected 2 to be 1`)
All related suites (economy, PlayerImpl, nation structure behavior,
upgrades, MIRV pricing, stats) — 144 tests — pass.

## Problem
`ClientGameRunner.stop()` tore down the worker, network, and sound, but
left the `MapRenderer` (and its WebGL context), the WebGL canvas, the
input overlay, and the self-driving RAF loop in place.
When you exit a game via the **Exit button** or browser **back**, the
page navigates to `/`, so the browser reclaims everything — that path is
fine. But you can start a new game **without** a reload: matchmaking and
joining another lobby go through `handleJoinLobby`, which calls
`lobbyHandle.stop(true)` then `joinLobby()` on the same document. The
old WebGL context stayed alive (the never-cancelled RAF kept it
referenced, so it wasn't even GC'd), and each new game stacked another
context. After a few games, mobile browsers hit their WebGL context
limit — matching the repro in #4267.
## Fix
`stop()` now disposes the renderer:
- cancels the self-driving RAF loop and disconnects the frame-loop
resize observer
- disposes the `MapRenderer` (frees all GPU resources)
- removes the WebGL canvas and the input overlay from the DOM
`GPURenderer.dispose()` additionally calls
`WEBGL_lose_context.loseContext()` so the context is released promptly
instead of waiting on unreliable GC. The territory-patterns settings
listener is wired to the existing graphics `AbortController` so it no
longer outlives the disposed view.
The cleanup runs unconditionally in `stop()` (a superseded join can stop
before the game becomes active) and is idempotent against repeated
`stop()` calls.

## Problem
The troop and population ratio bars in `ControlPanel` and
`PlayerInfoOverlay` update their inline `width` on every game tick, with
a `transition-[width] duration-200` to smooth the change. But `width` is
a layout property — animating it forces the browser to **recalculate
layout for the surrounding HUD components every animation frame**. Since
the width changes every tick, this kept the whole HUD in a near-constant
relayout loop and showed up as jank.
## Fix
Keep the smooth animation, but drive it with `transform`
(GPU-composited, no layout) instead of `width`:
- Replace the two flex `width: %` segments with absolutely-positioned,
full-width bars.
- Segment 1: `transform: scaleX(green/100)` anchored to the left edge
(`origin-left`).
- Segment 2: `transform: translateX(green%) scaleX(orange/100)` so it
stays flush against the first segment.
- Animate with `transition-transform duration-200 ease-out`.
Because `transform` is composited rather than laid out, the bars animate
smoothly **without** triggering the per-frame HUD relayout.
The segments are now always mounted (`scaleX(0)` when empty) instead of
conditionally rendered, which also prevents the transition from
resetting as values cross zero.
Files:
- `src/client/hud/layers/ControlPanel.ts` (mobile + desktop troop bars:
malibu-blue / aquarius)
- `src/client/hud/layers/PlayerInfoOverlay.ts` (sky-700 / malibu-blue)
A grep confirmed these were the only `transition-[width]` usages in the
client.
## Testing
- `eslint --fix` / prettier ran clean via the pre-commit hook.
- CSS-only change; no sim/behavioral logic touched.

## Problem
Fixes#4284. When you build a factory in an area with **no pre-existing
factory** (e.g. just a city nearby), no rail ghost preview appeared —
even though building the factory *would* lay rail lines connecting it to
that city.
## Root cause
`computeGhostRailPaths` in `RailNetworkImpl.ts` had two factory-hostile
assumptions:
1. It bailed out early unless a `Factory` was already in range
(`hasUnitNearby(..., UnitType.Factory)`).
2. It only matched neighbors that were *already* train stations
(`findStation(...)` → skipped if null).
But a **Factory** always becomes a station itself and *promotes* nearby
City/Port/Factory into the rail network (see `FactoryExecution`). So it
needs no pre-existing factory, and its neighbors won't be stations yet
on first build. A **City/Port** only joins the network when a factory
already exists (`CityExecution`/`PortExecution`) — so their behavior is
correctly left unchanged.
## Fix
- Skip the "factory must be nearby" gate when the placed unit is itself
a `Factory`.
- For a factory build, pathfind to nearby City/Port/Factory even if they
aren't stations yet. City/Port keep connecting only to existing
stations.
## Tests
Added two cases to `RailNetwork.test.ts` (factory connects with no
pre-existing factory; city still doesn't without one). All 25 tests
pass.
## Note on scope
As @Katokoda noted on the issue, a fully build-exact preview
(neighboring structures also connecting to *each other*, merging
existing networks, etc.) is larger and order-dependent. This PR resolves
the reported bug — the initial factory now shows its rail ghost — and
leaves the exact-match cascade as a separate follow-up.

## Problem
Focusing the number field of a `toggle-input-card` (Game Timer / Gold
Multiplier / Starting Gold, in both the single-player and host-lobby
modals) cost several ms of layout/paint **every tick** for as long as
the field stayed focused.
## Root cause
The input was rendered **conditionally** — `${this.checked ?
html`…<input>…` : nothing}`. Enabling a toggle therefore **freshly
inserts** the `<input>` into the DOM, and **focusing a just-inserted
input** is what forced the per-frame layout/paint. An input that was
already present in the DOM doesn't do this.
## Fix
Keep the input **permanently mounted** and toggle a `hidden` class when
unchecked, instead of conditionally rendering it. Focusing it is then
always focusing an element that was already there. Because both modals
share `<toggle-input-card>`, this single change fixes both.
Also restores the **autofocus + select** of the field on enable (it had
been removed earlier while chasing this bug) — safe now that the input
isn't freshly inserted.
No other UX change: the toggle behavior, checkmark, styling, and all
three cards behave identically.
## Testing
Hard-reload, then in both the Solo and Host-lobby modals, enable each of
Game Timer / Gold Multiplier / Starting Gold, type a value, and keep the
field focused — smooth, no per-frame jank, and the field autofocuses on
enable.

## Summary
Adds a **"Fallout effects"** toggle to the *Effects* section of the
graphics settings modal, letting players disable the nuclear fallout
visuals (useful for performance).
Fallout is rendered by two passes — the broiling green **bloom** on
irradiated territory and its additive **light** contribution in
day/night mode. The bloom pass was already gated by
`passEnabled.falloutBloom`, but the light pass had no gate. This adds a
`passEnabled.falloutLight` flag and a single user-facing
`passEnabled.fallout` graphics override that drives both together.
## Changes
- **`RenderSettings.ts` / `render-settings.json`** — new
`passEnabled.falloutLight` flag (default `true`).
- **`LightmapPass.ts`** — gate the fallout light pass behind
`passEnabled.falloutLight`.
- **`GraphicsOverrides.ts`** — add `fallout: z.boolean()` to the
`passEnabled` override group.
- **`RenderOverrides.ts`** — apply `passEnabled.fallout` to both
`falloutBloom` and `falloutLight`.
- **`GraphicsSettingsModal.ts`** — `currentFallout()` /
`onToggleFallout()` + a toggle button (mirrors the existing Special
Effects toggle).
- **`en.json`** — `graphics_setting.fallout_label` / `fallout_desc`.
## Testing
- `tsc --noEmit` passes; JSON files validated.

## Problem
In the structure render pass, when **classic icons** are enabled the
inner icon glyph is tinted with a *darkened version of the player's fill
color* (`uIconDarken = 0.3`). When a player's territory color is already
dark, both the structure shape and its glyph render dark, so the icon
blends into the shape and the dark territory behind it — making it
effectively unreadable.
(With non-classic icons the glyph is already the light `uIconColor`, so
only the classic path was affected.)
## Fix
In `structure.frag.glsl`, when classic icons are active, compute the
fill's perceptual luminance and flip the glyph to the light icon color
(`uIconColor`, white by default) when the fill is too dark:
```glsl
vec3 glyphColor = uIconColor;
if (uIconDarken > 0.0) {
float fillLum = dot(fillColor.rgb, vec3(0.299, 0.587, 0.114));
glyphColor = fillLum < 0.25 ? uIconColor : darken(fillColor.rgb, uIconDarken);
}
```
The non-classic path is unchanged. The change is contained to the shader
— no new uniforms or plumbing.
## Notes
- The `0.25` luminance threshold is hardcoded in the shader to keep the
change surgical. It could be promoted to a `render-settings.json` knob
if preferred.

## Summary
Follow-up to #4255. That PR made nuke **sprites** glide per render frame
— `UnitPass.drawMissiles` lerps each nuke's `lastPos→pos` by wall-clock
progress through the current tick. But in ambient/night mode the glow
*behind* a nuke comes from a separate pass, `PointLightPass`, whose
instance buffer is packed once per tick in `updateLights()` from the raw
`unit.pos`. Its per-frame `draw()` (run every frame via `LightmapPass`)
only set uniforms and issued the instanced draw — it never repositioned
the lights. So the sprite moved at 60fps while its light jumped once per
100ms tick.
## Fix
Mirror `UnitPass`'s smoothing in `PointLightPass`:
- `updateLights()` records a `smoothSegs` tuple `(lightIdx, lastX,
lastY, x, y)` for each `SMOOTHED_NUKE_TYPES` unit whose `lastPos !==
pos`, and stamps `lastUnitsUpdateMs`.
- A new `applySmoothing()`, called at the top of `draw()`, lerps those
lights by wall-clock tick progress (`(now - lastUnitsUpdateMs) /
tickIntervalMs`, clamped to 1) and re-uploads **only** the affected
instances. Unlike `UnitPass` (which re-uploads its tiny missile buffer
wholesale), the light buffer can hold thousands of static structure
lights, so a full per-frame re-upload would be wasteful.
- `tickIntervalMs` comes from a new `config` constructor param, wired
through in `Renderer.ts` (the same `config` already passed to
`UnitPass`).
The light now uses the exact same `lastPos→pos` endpoints and alpha as
the sprite, so the two track together.
## Test plan
- `npx tsc --noEmit`, eslint, and prettier all clean.
- `npx vitest tests/client/render --run` — 40 passed.

## Description:
When a nation attacked multiple bots via boat attacks in parallel, each
boat attack computed its troop allocation independently using
`player.troops() / 5` without subtracting `botAttackTroopsSent`. The
cumulative troop commitment could exceed the nation's actual troop
count, and when the queued `AttackExecution`s ran `init()`, they drained
the nation to zero.
Planetary Realignment found this bug by accident, here Russia has only
39 troops:

/>
The land attack path already handled this correctly. The bug in
`sendBoatAttack` was introduced by #3786, which made nations see and
attack enemies across rivers via boats, and changed `attackBots()` from
`.neighbors()` to `.nearby()`.
So the bug was on prod for the entirety of v31.
This fix extracts the shared attack troop calculation (reserve,
bot-aware allocation, troopSendCap, isAttackTooWeak, emoji) into a new
`calculateAttackTroops` method, with a callback for the non-bot troop
default (land: `player.troops() - targetTroops`, boat: `player.troops()
/ 5`). Bot targets in both paths now go through the same reserve-aware
calculation.

Lower territory saturation, highlight thickness, and border darkening
to bring the rendered map closer to the v31 look.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Problem
When you hover over a territory, it highlights with a band that is
`highlightThicken` (default **2**) tiles deep — the edge plus 2 interior
rings, computed via a Chebyshev expansion in `border-compute.frag.glsl`.
Starting a hover triggers a full border recompute, which paints the band
correctly. But while you keep hovering and tiles change owner (territory
growing/shrinking, combat at the front), only the cheap **incremental**
scatter path runs. `BorderScatterPass.pushWithNeighbors` repainted only
the changed tile **+ its 4 cardinal neighbors** (radius 1) — fine for
normal borders, but not for the highlight band. A changed tile affects
the thickening of *every* highlight-owner tile within `highlightThicken`
of it, and those interior tiles were never repainted, so the **inner
edge of the highlight band stayed stale** ("the inside border is not
getting updated"). This was a documented trade-off in the class comment.
## Fix
When a highlight is active, `pushWithNeighbors` now repaints a Chebyshev
**box of radius `highlightThicken`** around each changed tile (the box
subsumes the cardinal cross, so normal borders still update). With no
highlight active it stays on the cheap 5-point cross, preserving the
pass's O(dirty-tiles) scaling. The extra cost (~25 vs 5 points/tile at
default) only applies while actually hovering.
## Testing
Hover over a territory while it grows/shrinks (early-game expansion or a
war front) and confirm the inner edge of the highlight band now tracks
the moving border instead of lagging.

## Problem
Nuclear fallout was rendering on top of UI overlays (most visibly the
SAM launcher range circles), hiding them.
## Cause
In `renderOverlays()` (`src/client/render/gl/Renderer.ts`), the fallout
bloom pass was drawn near the end of the overlay sequence — after the
SAM radius, range circles, structures, bars, etc. — so it painted over
all of them.
## Fix
Moved `bloomPass.draw(...)` (fallout bloom) to draw right after the
ground units and before all UI overlays. Fallout is a
ground-contamination effect, so it now sits above the terrain/units but
below every UI overlay, which all render on top.

## Summary
The in-game map background changed from gray (v31) to near-black after
the WebGL renderer rewrite. This restores the gray.
The renderer rewrite hardcoded the base-layer clear color to `(0.04,
0.04, 0.06)` in `drawBaseLayer` (`src/client/render/gl/Renderer.ts`).
v31 set the background via `PastelTheme.backgroundColor()`, which
returned `rgb(60,60,60)`. This change sets the clear color back to that
gray.
## Notes
- The old theme-based `backgroundColor()` system was removed in the
rewrite, so this hardcoded clear color is now the single source for the
map background.

## Problem
Enabling **Starting Gold** (or **Game Timer** / **Gold Multiplier**) in
the single-player / host-lobby modal made the page spend several ms of
"Render" time **every frame** — for as long as the toggle stayed
enabled. Disabling the option made it stop.
## Root cause
Each `toggle-input-card`, on enable, auto-focused and selected its
number input so you could type immediately:
```ts
input.focus();
input.select();
```
A focused/selected editable inside the modal keeps the browser doing
layout/paint work every frame for as long as it stays focused. It
reproduces for any of the toggle-input cards because they all auto-focus
on enable, which is why Starting Gold, Game Timer, and Gold Multiplier
all triggered it.
> **Note on the earlier revision of this PR:** the first attempt passed
`{ preventScroll: true }` to `focus()`, on the theory that
scroll-into-view was the cause. It successfully stopped the scroll
(verified: modal scroll container `scrollTop 0 → 0`), but the per-frame
render cost remained. That ruled out scroll-into-view and proved the
focused editable itself — not the scroll — was the trigger.
## Fix
Remove the auto-focus entirely. Enabling a toggle no longer focuses its
number input, and the per-frame render cost is gone.
## Trade-off
You no longer get type-to-replace on enable — click the field before
typing the value. Worth it to eliminate the per-frame render.

## Problem
The debug render GUI's **"Reset to Defaults"** restored bare
`createRenderSettings()` defaults, wiping the user's graphics overrides
(colorblind theme, ocean color, lighting, name scaling, etc.) from the
live render settings. The per-prop right-click "reset to default" and
the modified-indicators had the same flaw — their captured defaults were
raw, ignoring overrides.
## Fix
Thread the existing `resolveRenderSettings` (`createRenderSettings()` +
`applyGraphicsOverrides()`) into the debug GUI as the defaults provider,
so reset restores the same settings the renderer was actually built
with.
- **`debug/index.ts`** — added a `resolveDefaults` param (defaults to
`createRenderSettings` to keep the module decoupled). The captured
`defaults` now include overrides, fixing the per-prop reset and modified
indicators too.
- **`debug/Wiring.ts`** — `wireActions` takes `resolveDefaults`; the
reset handler `deepAssign`s `resolveDefaults()` instead of
`createRenderSettings()`.
- **`ClientGameRunner.ts`** — passes `resolveRenderSettings` into
`createDebugGui`, and extracts a `refreshDerivedGraphics` helper
(terrain rebuild + re-theme/palette) from `onGraphicsChanged`, wired as
the GUI's `onSettingsChanged` so the reapplied terrain/colorblind
overrides become *visible* after reset (they're baked into GPU textures
and aren't picked up per-frame).
Side benefit: editing terrain/theme settings in the debug GUI now
refreshes those textures live too (that callback was previously never
wired).

visible both as the bloom dots and (more prominently) as the ambient ember

## Description:
### Problem
PVP immunity (the extended spawn immunity setting) was incorrectly
preventing AI nations from attacking human players. The intent of PVP
immunity is to protect human-vs-human combat only, but nations were
subject to the same restriction.
### Root Cause
In `canAttackPlayer()`, only `PlayerType.Bot` was exempt from checking
target immunity. Nations fell through to the same path as humans, so
when a nation tried to attack an immune human, `player.isImmune()`
returned true and the attack was blocked.
### Fix
Changed the immunity bypass condition from `this.type() ===
PlayerType.Bot` to `this.type() !== PlayerType.Human`. Now only human
attackers check target immunity. Both bots and nations bypass it (they
only check alliance status).
This does not affect nation spawn immunity
(`nationSpawnImmunityDuration`), which is a separate mechanism that
protects newly spawned nations from all attackers and continues to work
independently.

## Problem
When placing a building near a railroad, the railroad glows green to
show the building would snap to it. This should only apply to **City**,
**Port**, and **Factory** — but missile silos, SAMs, and defense posts
(which cannot be placed on railroads) were also triggering the green
highlight.
## Root cause
The core's `overlappingRailroads()` populated snap tiles for *every*
buildable type. In v31 the green highlight didn't leak because the
client renderer (`RailroadLayer.ts`) gated it with a
`SNAPPABLE_STRUCTURES = [Port, City, Factory]` allowlist:
```ts
if (!SNAPPABLE_STRUCTURES.includes(this.uiState.ghostStructure)) return;
```
That guard was lost when the rendering was rewritten into the WebGL
`RailroadPass`, which now unconditionally highlights every tile in
`overlappingRailroads`. The data was always there; only the renderer's
filter was protecting it.
## Fix
Filter by unit type inside `overlappingRailroads()`, mirroring the
existing guard in `computeGhostRailPaths()`. This keeps the
snap-eligible type list defined once in the core (`RailNetworkImpl`) and
fixes the leak regardless of which renderer consumes the data — rather
than re-adding a client-side allowlist a future rewrite could drop
again.
## Tests
Updated `tests/core/game/RailNetwork.test.ts` for the new signature and
added a case asserting `MissileSilo`/`DefensePost`/`SAMLauncher` return
`[]` (and don't even query the rail grid). All 23 tests pass.

## What
Removes the binary **dark mode** feature and replaces it with a

### In-game settings
- Removed the Dark Mode toggle from both `SettingsModal` and
`UserSettingModal`, and `darkMode()`/`toggleDarkMode()`/`DARK_MODE_KEY`
from `UserSettings`.
### New Lighting section (Graphics Settings)
- **Ambient light** slider (1–3): mapped to the renderer's ambient as
`ambient = 1 / level`. **1.0 = no effect (unchanged look), 3.0 = darkest
with the strongest structure glow.**
- **Light falloff** slider (1–3): writes straight to
`lighting.falloffPower`.
- Lighting auto-enables only when ambient < 1, so the default (slider at
1) has zero GPU cost — off by default.
### Removed dark-mode overrides
- Deleted `applyDarkModeOverride()` + `DARK_AMBIENT` and their wiring in
`ClientGameRunner`, `gl/index.ts`, and the `DARK_MODE_KEY` listener.
- Removed the `.dark` HUD-class toggle in `Main.ts` and the
`userSettings.darkMode()` read in `PlayerIcons`.
### Train glow
- `UT_TRAIN` light reduced (intensity `2.0 → 0.5`, radius `8 → 6`) so
structures dominate the glow.
## Notes
- Removing the dark-mode setting also retires the HUD's Tailwind dark
theme (same setting). The dormant `dark:` CSS variants and unused
white-icon assets are left in place (out of scope).

In alt-view, trade ships are colored by their owner's affiliation:
self green, ally yellow, enemy red. The FLAG_TRADE_FRIENDLY override
recolors an enemy ship red→yellow when it's heading to a self/allied
port. That flag was decided solely from the destination port's owner,
ignoring who owns the ship — so a captured trade ship (now owned by us,
heading to our port) got flagged yellow instead of keeping its green
affiliation color.
Gate FLAG_TRADE_FRIENDLY on the ship being enemy-owned, since self/allied
ships already render the correct color without the override. Also fixes
our own trade ships heading to an ally's port flipping green→yellow.

## Problem
Players reported having to turn the volume slider down to ~20% before
noticing any change in loudness.
The sliders fed their linear 0–1 position straight to Howler's
`volume()`, which is linear amplitude gain. Human loudness perception is
roughly logarithmic, so the top ~80% of the slider all sounds nearly
identical — the classic linear-fader problem.
## Fix
Square the slider position into a perceptual (audio-taper) gain inside
`SoundManager`. The stored setting and the displayed `%` remain the
intuitive linear slider position; only the gain handed to Howler is
curved.
| Slider | Old gain (linear) | New gain (x²) |
|--------|-------------------|---------------|
| 100% | 1.00 | 1.00 |
| 90% | 0.90 | 0.81 |
| 80% | 0.80 | 0.64 |
| 50% | 0.50 | 0.25 |
| 20% | 0.20 | 0.04 |
Lowering the slider from 100→80 now produces an audible drop instead of
nothing until ~20%.
## Notes
- Quadratic (x²) was chosen as a balanced, conservative taper. Cubic
(x³) would make the top-end drop-off even more immediate if preferred.
- Existing saved settings are unaffected; the same slider position will
simply sound slightly quieter, which is the intended correction.
## Tests
Updated `SoundManager.test.ts` to assert the curved gain and added a
dedicated test locking in the top-of-range behavior. All 18 tests pass.

## What
Adds a **Terrain** section to the graphics settings modal with a color
picker and a hex-code text field (paste a `#rrggbb` code) for the
**ocean** (deep water) color.
## Details
- The picked color sets the *shallow-water base*; the existing per-depth
brightness gradient is preserved (deeper water still darkens).
- Only deep water is affected — shoreline water and land are untouched.
- Follows the same override pattern as every other graphics setting: the
default lives in `render-settings.json` (`terrain.oceanColor`), the
override is a field in `GraphicsOverrides`, and `applyGraphicsOverrides`
copies it into the live `RenderSettings`.
- Rebased on #4271 (settings resolved before renderer construction): the
terrain texture **bakes the resolved ocean color at construction**, so a
saved override shows on load with no special-casing. Terrain is baked
into a GPU texture rather than read per-frame, so a *live* change still
triggers an explicit `view.rebuildTerrain()`.
- Resetting graphics overrides clears it back to the default ocean
color.
## Testing
Verified live in a headless singleplayer game:
- A **saved** ocean override renders green deep-water on load, baked at
construction with no settings-change event fired.
- A mid-game color change recolors the deep ocean instantly, gradient
preserved, shoreline/land untouched.
`tsc` and ESLint clean.

## What
The client now resolves render settings (defaults + user overrides) **up
front** and passes the result into the renderer, instead of the renderer
constructing defaults itself and the client re-applying overrides
afterward.
```
before: new GPURenderer(...) // this.settings = createRenderSettings() (defaults)
view.getSettings() → deepAssign(defaults) → applyGraphicsOverrides(...) // patch after the fact
after: const settings = createRenderSettings(); applyGraphicsOverrides(settings, ...); applyDarkModeOverride(settings, ...)
new GPURenderer(..., settings) // built with the final values
```
## Why
- **Removes the construct-with-defaults / re-apply-overrides dance.**
Every pass — including texture-baking ones like terrain that read their
settings *once* at build time rather than every frame — is now built
with the final values on the first try. (This is the cleanup that
motivated the change, surfaced while adding a terrain color override in
a separate PR.)
- **Fixes a latent context-restore bug.** On WebGL context loss/restore
the renderer was rebuilt via `createRenderSettings()` → fresh
**defaults**, silently dropping any user overrides until the next
settings change. `MapRenderer` now holds the resolved settings object
and hands the same one to the recreated `GPURenderer`, so overrides
survive a restore.
Live setting changes still work exactly as before:
`regenerateRenderSettings()` re-resolves and `deepAssign`s onto the
renderer's live settings object in place (passes hold a reference, so
they pick it up next frame).
## Changes
- `Renderer.ts` (`GPURenderer`) — constructor takes a `settings:
RenderSettings`; drops the internal `createRenderSettings()` call.
- `MapRenderer.ts` — holds the resolved settings and passes it through
on construction and on context-restore re-init.
- `ClientGameRunner.ts` — new `resolveRenderSettings()` helper used both
at construction and by `regenerateRenderSettings()`; `createWebGLView`
takes the resolved settings; the now-redundant initial
`regenerateRenderSettings()` call is removed.
## Testing
Verified live in a headless singleplayer game:
- A saved `nameScaleFactor` override is present in `getSettings()`
immediately after game start, with no settings-change event fired
(construction path).
- A mid-game override change is reflected in the live settings
(regenerate/in-place path).
- The map renders correctly through spawn phase.

## Summary
Adds a new **Structure icon size** option to `GraphicsOverrides`,
exposed as a slider in the Graphics Settings modal. Players can now
scale how large structure icons are drawn on the map.
## Changes
- **`GraphicsOverrides.ts`** — add `iconSize: z.number()` to the
`structure` override schema.
- **`RenderOverrides.ts`** — apply the override onto
`settings.structure.iconSize` (consumed by
`StructurePass`/`StructureLevelPass` shaders).
- **`GraphicsSettingsModal.ts`** — add a slider (range 20–120, step 5)
in the "Structure Icons" section, with getter/handler following the
existing pattern. Falls back to the `render-settings.json` default of 60
when unset.
- **`resources/lang/en.json`** — add `icon_size_label` /
`icon_size_desc` (English only, per i18n rules).
- **`tests/GraphicsOverrides.test.ts`** — schema-validation cases plus
application tests (override sets the value; absence keeps the default).
The setting persists via the existing `userSettings.graphicsOverrides()`
localStorage flow and takes effect live through the existing
`regenerateRenderSettings` wiring.
## Testing
- `npx vitest tests/GraphicsOverrides.test.ts --run` — 35 passed
- `tsc --noEmit` — no new type errors

## What
Structure **level numbers** now render in the **`round_6x6_modified`**
bitmap font by default (matching the old PIXI-based `StructureLayer` /
`v31`), with a graphics setting to switch back to the smooth
`overpass-bold` MSDF font.
Two commits:
1. **Default to the classic bitmap font** — `StructureLevelPass` drew
level digits from the `overpass-bold` MSDF atlas (the one `NamePass`
uses for player names); switch the default to the `round_6x6_modified`
pixel font (white digits with a baked-in dark outline).
2. **Add a runtime toggle** — load both fonts and switch between them
live via a new `Classic level numbers` graphics setting.
## How
- `StructureLevelPass` loads both atlases up front and selects one per
frame from `settings.structureLevel.classicFont`, re-laying-out the
digits when the toggle flips (digit advances differ between the fonts).
The fragment shader is a single program with a `uClassic` branch: direct
bitmap sample (white fill + baked outline) vs. MSDF median + synthesized
outline.
- New override `structure.classicNumbers` in `GraphicsOverrides`
(default `true` = classic), applied onto
`settings.structureLevel.classicFont` in `applyGraphicsOverrides` — so
it switches live, like the existing colorblind/classic-icons toggles.
- `GraphicsSettingsModal` gets a `Classic level numbers` toggle next to
`Classic icons` (with `en.json` strings).
## Testing
- `tsc --noEmit`, ESLint, Prettier, and `npm run build-prod` all pass.
- Ran the game headless, built/upgraded cities to level 2–3, and
confirmed: the classic toggle renders the pixel font, flipping it
renders the smooth MSDF font, and flipping back restores the pixel font
— switching live with no shader errors.

## Summary
Follow-up to #4244's payload work: nukes were the last per-tick movers
flooding the worker → main update stream.
- **Core**: nuke trajectories are fully determined at launch
(precomputed parabola), so `NukeExecution` now records a `GridPathPlan`
when the nuke is built — same mechanism trade ships use — and the client
derives the position each tick. Per-tick `UnitUpdate`s for nukes in
flight are suppressed; only targetable flips and deletion
(interception/detonation) still emit. This covers atom bombs, hydrogen
bombs, and MIRV warheads (dozens of per-tick movers per MIRV
separation).
- The plan path replays a separate pathfinder rather than reusing the
stored trajectory array: the curve's cached points don't advance exactly
one index per tick, and the plan must match the movement pathfinder's
exact per-tick tile sequence.
- `startTick` accounts for MIRV warheads' staggered `waitTicks`.
- **Render**: `UnitPass.drawMissiles` now lerps each nuke's instance
position `lastPos→pos` by wall-clock progress through the current tick,
so nukes glide along their arc at render framerate instead of jumping
once per 100ms tick. Both endpoints are real simulated positions — the
rendered nuke trails the sim by at most one tick and settles exactly on
it when ticks stop. Plan-driven units sync `lastPos` on path-stall ticks
so the lerp never replays a segment. Shells keep their existing
two-instance trail; SAM missiles are unchanged.
## Test plan
- New `tests/nukes/NukeMotionPlan.test.ts`: tick-exact alignment between
the recorded plan and core nuke position over the whole flight
(mirroring `GameView.advanceMotionPlannedUnits` math), `waitTicks`
offset, and that no per-tick unit updates are emitted in flight except
targetable flips and deletion.
- Full suite passes (1452 + 65), tsc/eslint/prettier clean.
- Verified in-game (headless Chromium, real WebGL): atom bomb arcs from
silo to target with the client position driven by the plan, missile
sprite renders intact while the smoothing rewrites the instance buffer
every frame, detonation FX land at the target.

Commit 49a12519d made classic icon styling the default in
applyGraphicsOverrides (classicIcons ?? true), but three tests still
assumed empty/absent structure overrides left the structure slice
untouched. Align them with the new behavior:
- "empty overrides" now asserts the default classic structure styling
is applied, with everything outside the structure slice still matching
createRenderSettings().
- "settings outside the name slice" baselines against gen({}) so it
isolates name-override leakage rather than the classic default.
- Split the false/absent case: classicIcons=false keeps the JSON
defaults; an absent flag applies classic styling.
Test-only change; no production code touched.

## Summary
A performance review of `src/client/render/` found three issues where
per-tick work silently defeated existing optimizations. All three are
surgical fixes with no behavior change.
### 1. Relation matrix forced a full-map border recompute every tick
`buildRelationMatrix` ran unconditionally every tick and
`updateRelations` was pushed unconditionally, so every tick paid:
- a 1 MB `fill(0)` + rebuild on the CPU,
- a 1 MB `texSubImage2D` upload (~10 MB/s steady-state),
- a **full map-resolution border fragment pass** via `globalDirty` —
which also called `scatter.clear()`, making the incremental
`BorderScatterPass`/`patchTile` path dead code during live play.
Now the matrix is rebuilt and uploaded only when alliances/embargoes
actually change. `PlayerUpdate`s are delta-encoded (`diffPlayerUpdate`
content-compares `allies`/`embargoes`), so field presence is a reliable
change signal. The WebGL context-restore path force-pushes relations,
matching the existing structures/railroads pattern.
### 2. Heat decay pass + full-map blit ran every frame, forever
`HeatManager.decayHeat()` set `heatActive = true` on every tick
regardless of whether any fallout existed. With `heatDecayPerTick: 1`
the drain window (255 ticks) was always re-armed before expiring, so the
map-sized decay/transition fragment pass **plus a full-map R16UI
`blitFramebuffer`** ran at 60 Hz for the entire game — even if no nuke
was ever fired. On large maps this was likely the biggest fixed GPU cost
in the renderer.
Now `TerritoryPass` flags FALLOUT-bit flips at GPU-write time (delta,
drip-drain, and conservatively on full uploads), and the renderer
activates the heat pipeline only then. While inactive, `updateHeat()`
does no GL work at all. Skipping the prev-tile blit while inactive is
safe because the transition shader only reads the fallout bit, and every
fallout flip activates the pipeline before its tile flush reaches the
GPU.
### 3. `computePlayerStatus` was O(players × units) per tick
The per-player loop scanned **all units** looking for that player's
nukes (~1M+ iterations/tick at scale). Inverted to a single pass over
units building per-owner `nukeActive`/`nukeTargetsMe` sets, then O(1)
lookups in the player loop.
## Testing
- Full suite passes (1386 + 65 tests), including the 19 existing
`computePlayerStatus` behavior tests; `tsc --noEmit` and ESLint clean.
- Verified in a live singleplayer game (headless Chromium): territory
fill, borders, names/troop counts, and leaderboard all render correctly.
- Fallout path verified end-to-end: built a missile silo, launched an
atom bomb (1235 fallout tiles in tile state), and the fallout glow
rendered at the impact site — under the new gating that glow can only
appear if the `falloutTouched → activate()` chain works.

Stacked on #4243 (the `perf:client` harness) — first step of fixing the
every-100ms main-thread stutter: make the per-tick burst small before
spreading what remains across frames.
## Problem
The harness showed the main-thread burst was dominated by
`structuredClone` of the `updates` object, and the clone was dominated
by two kinds of per-tick churn that re-sent object payloads every tick:
- `gold` / `troops` / `tilesOwned` change for nearly every alive player
every tick → ~278 partial `PlayerUpdate` objects per tick (world/400
bots), ~508 on giantworldmap.
- Attack troop counts tick down every tick → whole
`outgoingAttacks`/`incomingAttacks` arrays re-cloned for every fighting
player every tick.
- `playerNameViewData` (an all-players record) was cloned every tick but
only recomputed every 30 ticks.
## Change
Three additions to the worker → main protocol (all transferable,
zero-clone):
1. **`packedPlayerUpdates`** — `[smallID, tilesOwned, gold, troops]`
float64 quads for players whose stats changed. These fields no longer
appear in `PlayerUpdate` diffs (first emissions still carry the full
snapshot). Gold is exact in a float64 (game values ≪ 2^53).
2. **`packedAttackUpdates`** — `[ownerSmallID, direction, index,
troops]` quads. Attack arrays are only resent when
membership/order/retreating changes — which is exactly the condition
that keeps the patch indexes valid (a tick either resends an array or
patches it, never both).
3. **`playerNameViewData` is now optional** — attached only on
placement-rebuild ticks (spawn ticks, first ticks, every 30th, spawn
end). The client keeps the last applied values; dead players' name
placements freeze at death (matching the previous effective behavior).
On the client, `GameView.populateFrame` now also rebuilds `names` /
`relationMatrix` / `allianceClusters` only when their inputs changed
that tick — field presence on a partial `PlayerUpdate` marks them dirty.
(`playerStatus`, nuke telegraphs, and attack rings still recompute every
tick; they're tick- or unit-dependent.)
## Results (perf:client, this machine; low-end devices ~5–20× slower)
Default run (world, 400 bots, 1800 ticks):
| stage | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| clone (serialize+deserialize) | 1.02ms | **0.09ms** |
| GameView.update | 0.62ms | **0.29ms** |
| WebGLFrameBuilder.update | 0.04ms | 0.04ms |
| **TOTAL burst mean** | **1.67ms** | **0.42ms** |
| TOTAL p99 / max | 3.47 / 10.3ms | **1.21 / 3.92ms** |
giantworldmap/600t: 2.54 → 0.68ms mean. Player update objects: 278 → 6.5
per tick (world), 508 → 12 (giant). The remaining burst is mostly tile
apply + per-tick derivations — the part that frame-spreading (next step)
addresses.
## Verification
- **Sim final hash unchanged** on all three reference configs
(`5607618202213430`, `29309648281599524`, `39945089450032050`) — no
simulation behavior change.
- **View hash unchanged** on all three configs (`942106e9`, `a3aae227`,
`cbaaf265`) — the rendered view state is provably identical
tick-for-tick, including the name-freeze semantics.
- New tests: `tests/PackedPlayerUpdates.test.ts` (drain + GameRunner
cadence), packed-channel and freeze-at-death cases in
`tests/client/view/GameView.test.ts`, `packAttackTroopDeltas` unit tests
and updated diff contract in `tests/GameUpdateUtils.test.ts` /
`tests/PlayerUpdateDiff.test.ts`.
- `npm test` (1490 tests), `eslint`, `prettier`, `tsc --noEmit` all
pass.

donation event message formatted the raw amount with renderNumber
instead of renderTroops. Gold is unscaled and was already correct.
The transport-target ring size was hardcoded as RING_SCREEN_PX in
attack-ring.vert.glsl. Promote it to a uRingScreenPx uniform fed from
a new fx.attackRingScreenPx entry in render-settings.json, with an
"Attack Ring Size (px)" slider in the debug GUI's FX folder.
Also bump the size from 20 to 30 screen px so the ring is easier
to spot. The inner/outer ring fractions (0.5/0.8 of the quad) stay
shader constants.
The blast-radius warning circle was always red, so players couldn't
tell who launched an incoming nuke. Now it's green for your own
nukes, yellow for ally/teammate nukes, and red for everyone else's.
Each telegraph carries a relation (0=self, 1=friendly, 2=enemy),
classified from the per-tick relation matrix — the same friend/foe
logic alt-view uses — and passed to the shader as a per-instance
attribute. Replay/spectator mode (no local player) stays all red.
Colors are tunable via the nukeTelegraph slice in render-settings.json.
Resolves#4248
## Description:
Fix river not connected in Balkans map along the map border. The map
generator accidentally deleted some columns of pixels along the map
limits, and it disconnected a river.

## Problem
In team games, alternate view (space-hold) colored teammates' units red
(enemy color) instead of yellow (ally color). Teammates' territory
borders had the same problem.
## Root cause
`buildRelationMatrix()` in
`src/client/render/frame/derive/RelationMatrix.ts` already supports an
optional `teams` map that marks same-team pairs as `RELATION_FRIENDLY`,
but the call site in `GameView.populateFrame()` never passed it (the
companion `buildTeamMap` helper was dead code). Only explicit alliances
were marked friendly, so a teammate without a formal alliance read as
neutral — and the alt-view unit palette maps neutral to the enemy color.
## Fix
- `GameView` now tracks a `smallID → team` map, populated when each
`PlayerView` is first created (team is a static field, so once per
player is enough).
- The map is passed through to `buildRelationMatrix()`, which feeds both
the `AffiliationPalette` (unit colors) and `BorderComputePass` (border
colors).
## Testing
- New regression test in `tests/client/view/GameView.test.ts`: same-team
players are `RELATION_FRIENDLY` in `frame.relationMatrix`, cross-team
players stay neutral.
- All 36 GameView tests pass; typecheck clean.

## Summary
The "classic icons" graphics setting currently renders structure icon
glyphs as flat black. In the v0.31 canvas renderer, classic icons used
`structureColors().dark` — a darkened version of the owning player's
territory color. This PR restores that look in the WebGL renderer.
- New `structure.iconDarken` render setting (HSV value multiplier on the
player fill color; `0` = off, default).
- New `uIconDarken` uniform in `structure.frag.glsl`: when > 0, the
glyph color is `darken(playerFill, uIconDarken)` instead of the flat
`uIconColor`.
- Classic mode (`classicIcons: true`) now sets `iconDarken = 0.45`
instead of `iconR/G/B = 0`. Border darken, fill, and the 0.75
translucency are unchanged.
- Default (non-classic) icons are unaffected (white glyph, `iconDarken =
0`).
Under-construction structures keep the gray fill, so their glyph darkens
to a darker gray — matching v31's construction styling.
## Verification
Drove a solo game headlessly with classic icons on and built structures:
glyphs render as darkened versions of each player's color (dark purple
on a purple player, per-bot hues on bot structures). Pixel-sampled the
screenshot: glyph measured `rgb(89,58,142)` vs `rgb(84,50,139)`
predicted for the 0.45-darkened player color at 0.75 alpha (flat black
would measure `rgb(38,26,60)`). Control run with classic off shows the
unchanged white glyph. `tests/GraphicsOverrides.test.ts` updated; all
pass.

## What
Extends the `run-openfront` Claude Code skill so agents can test the
*whole game* headlessly, not just the home page and modals. New
`game.mjs` driver plays an actual singleplayer game end-to-end:
- start a solo game with chosen options (bots, map, difficulty, …)
- spawn, attack/expand, open the radial build menu
- read ground-truth sim state (`ticks`, `inSpawnPhase`, `myPlayer`
troops/gold/tiles, `outgoingAttacks`) instead of guessing from pixels
- take real WebGL screenshots (SwiftShader renders the map fine
headless)
`node .claude/skills/run-openfront/game.mjs` runs a ~2 min smoke flow
that asserts territory growth after an expansion attack and that the
radial menu opens.
## How
No game-code changes were needed:
- `hud/GameRenderer.ts` already assigns the `GameView` and
`TransformHandler` onto the `<build-menu>` element, so page JS reaches
live sim state and world↔screen conversion through it.
- `launch({ rafIntervalMs })` stubs `requestAnimationFrame` to one frame
per interval. SwiftShader needs seconds of CPU per frame, and an
unthrottled frame loop starves the main thread — the singleplayer turn
loop drops from 10 ticks/s to ~0.3. Throttled, the sim runs near full
speed while frames still render for screenshots.
- `clickWorld()` absorbs the canvas-click pitfalls discovered while
testing: aims at tile centers (corner clicks floor onto the neighboring
tile), refuses to click through HUD elements covering
`#game-input-overlay`, and freezes the post-spawn camera animation so
computed coordinates don't go stale.
## Testing
Smoke flow run repeatedly on a headless 4-core box: game starts (123
players), spawn lands on the clicked tile, expansion attack grows
territory 52 → ~275 tiles, radial menu opens, screenshots show the
rendered map.
