test(02): VERIFICATION → gaps_found after live UAT (4 first-impression UX gaps)
User dev-server walkthrough surfaced 4 functional UX gaps beneath the verifier's
24/24 structural PASS:
G1 (blocking) — no global page CSS → white halo around #1a1a1a canvas
G2 (blocking) — no first-run prompt after Begin → player confused
(A Dark Room rule needs the canonical first-prompt)
G3 (high) — tile outlines too dim → grid reads as 'gray check block'
G4 (medium) — gate visual at canvas (880, 384) reads as stray rectangle
Phase 3 watercolor deferral preserved — every fix uses Phaser primitives or
one CSS file, not painted assets. STATE.md → status: gaps_found.
Next: /gsd-plan-phase 2 --gaps

URL-flag FakeClock injection landed cleanly first-try, production-guarded by import.meta.env.PROD. Compost-beat UI wired as a thin transient CompostToast (minimum-viable; Ink runtime path remains compiled + loadable for Phase 4+ swap-in). gray-matter dep auto-removed (Rule 3 blocking issue surfaced via the e2e — Buffer not defined in browser; replaced with 15-line parseFrontmatter helper; bundle dropped 2.2MB → 1.9MB).

UX-02 / UX-10 / CORE-03 / CORE-11 / PIPE-07 / GARD-02 / GARD-04 satisfied end-to-end. Phase 2 vertical slice closed: a player can launch, plant, grow, harvest, meet Lura, leave the tab, return ≥5min later, see the letter from the garden in voice, dismiss to the live garden — and everything persists across reload (PIPE-07 e2e proves it). All 24 Phase-2 REQ-IDs structurally satisfied across the 5-plan set. The vertical slice could plausibly ship as a free standalone Season-1 prologue (banner concern #2's escape hatch realized).

**Phase Goal:** Player can launch the game, plant a seed, watch it grow, harvest a memory fragment authored in real Season 1 content, meet Lura at the gate, leave the tab for hours, and return to a letter-from-the-garden describing what bloomed — the entire core loop and content pipeline proven on Season 1 with no aesthetic polish required.

## Gaps Found in Live UAT (2026-05-09T15:50:00Z)
|
||||
|
||||
The 5 plans + automated verifier all passed; human live-loop walkthrough on a fresh dev server surfaced first-impression UX gaps NOT visible in the test suite. See frontmatter `gaps:` for the structured list. Summary:
|
||||
|
||||
| Gap | Severity | What user sees | Fix shape (one-line) |
|
||||
|-----|----------|---------------|----------------------|
|
||||
| G1 | blocking | Dark canvas floats in a sea of white = visually broken on every page load | Add `src/index.css` with body bg `#1a1a1a`, import in `main.tsx` |
|
||||
| G2 | blocking | After dismissing Begin, no instruction visible — player confused | Add `FirstRunHint` overlay with one bible-voice line, auto-dismiss on first plant |
|
||||
| G3 | high | 4×4 grid reads as "gray check block" — outlines too dim against canvas | Brighten empty-tile outline + hover state contrast in `tile-renderer.ts` |
|
||||
| G4 | medium | Gate visual at canvas (880, 384) reads as stray gray rectangle | Add faint vertical wall primitive in `gate-renderer.ts` for Phase-2 context |
|
||||
|
||||
**Why the automated verifier missed all 4:** the 312 vitest cases pin behavioral correctness (state transitions, schema, determinism, save round-trip); the Playwright e2e drives the loop programmatically (it doesn't *look* at the screen). First-impression "what does a new player see?" is a category the test suite cannot cover. The HUMAN-UAT.md tone items capture the next layer (Lura's voice, letter cadence) — the gaps above are a layer beneath those, structurally simpler but visually load-bearing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 3 deferral preserved:** the watercolor + cello + painted plants the bible describes remain Phase 3 scope. These gaps are minimum-viable functional UX (page-bg coherence, first-prompt presence, grid legibility, gate context) — every fix uses Phaser primitives or a single CSS file, no painted assets.
|
||||
|
||||
**Next:** `/gsd-plan-phase 2 --gaps` to create the gap-closure plan.
