# Project State

## Project Reference

See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-05-08)

**Core value:** Every idle mechanic must function as a metaphor that the player absorbs without being told. When economy and meaning conflict, meaning wins.
**Current focus:** Phase 02 — Season 1 Vertical Slice (Soil) — Wave 0 done; Wave 1 in progress (02-02 done, 02-03 next); Wave 2 queued

## Current Position

Phase: 02 (season-1-vertical-slice-soil) — 2/5 plans complete (Wave 0 + Wave 1 first plan)
Plans: 5 of 5 created (3 waves); Wave 0 (02-01) DONE; Wave 1 first plan (02-02) DONE; Wave 1 second plan (02-03) ready; Wave 2 queued
Status: Plan 02-02 begin-plant-grow executed in sequential mode — 3 atomic commits, 35 new tests (163/163 total green), npm run ci exits 0. GARD-01 / GARD-02 / AEST-07 / UX-01 satisfied end-to-end on Phaser primitives. Begin → Plant → Grow vertical slice operational. Pitfall 5 mitigated; Assumption A5 verified.

## Verification Results

**Phase 1 Overall Verdict:** PASSED

| REQ-ID | Status |
|--------|--------|
| CORE-01 | PASS — scaffold builds; <5s measurement is Phase 2 |
| CORE-04 | PASS — IDB + localStorage fallback; 4 tests green |
| CORE-05 | PASS — navigator.storage.persist() all 4 scenarios |
| CORE-06 | PASS — versioned envelope + CRC-32; tamper detection |
| CORE-07 | PASS — forward-only migration chain; synthetic v0→v1 |
| CORE-08 | PASS — last-3 snapshot retention; 5-then-3 invariant |
| CORE-09 | PASS — Base64 codec + 50MB DoS cap; round-trip test |
| CORE-10 | PASS — ESLint boundaries rule + Vitest proof |
| PIPE-01 | PASS — Vite-native loader; schema violation fails build |
| PIPE-03 | PASS — asset provenance gate; refused-sample fixture |
| PIPE-05 | PASS — both doctrine docs authored + doc-lint tests |
| PIPE-06 | PASS — ci.yml; 53 tests on every push |
| AEST-08 | PASS — ProvenanceSchema 6 fields; CI gate in place |
| AEST-09 | PASS (IOU) — curation gate exists; human decision recorded |
| STRY-09 | PASS (vacuous) — /content/ convention established |
| UX-13 | PASS — anti-fomo-doctrine.md; review-enforced |

Gates run: lint (exit 0), test (53/53 green, 12 files), validate:assets (2 assets valid), build (exit 0), compile:ink (exit 0), ci (exit 0).

## Performance Metrics

**Velocity:**

- Total plans completed: 9 (1 partial — 01-05 Task 2 deferred via IOU)
- Average duration: ~5 min (Wave 1 baseline 6min; Wave 2 plans 4–8min; Plan 07 ~2min; Plan 02-01 ~12min; Plan 02-02 ~18min — Phase-2 vertical-slice plans are heaviest)
- Total execution time: ~60 min across Phase 1 + Phase 2 Wave 0 + Wave 1 first plan

**By Phase:**

| Phase | Plans | Total | Avg/Plan |
|-------|-------|-------|----------|
| 1. Foundations & Doctrine | 7/7 (complete) | ~30 min | ~5 min |
| 2. Season 1 Vertical Slice (Soil) | 2/5 (Wave 0 + Wave 1 first plan complete) | ~30 min | ~15 min |

**Recent Trend:**

- Last 5 plans: [01-05 asset-provenance (partial) · 01-06 doctrine-docs · 01-07 ci-workflow · 02-01 foundations · 02-02 begin-plant-grow — all green]
- Trend: ↗ (02-02 was 18 min — heavier still than 02-01 because it spans every architectural tier: sim → render → game → ui → content; 35 new tests + the first end-to-end vertical slice on Phaser primitives)

*Updated after each plan completion*

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table.
Recent decisions affecting current work:

- Phase 1 will land all retrofit-hostile foundations (versioned saves, content/asset pipelines, sim/render firewall, anti-FOMO doctrine, Season 7 end-state design) before any feature code — research from all four researchers converged on this ordering. COMPLETE.
- Phase 2 will ship Season 1 as a complete vertical slice that could *plausibly* ship as a free standalone prologue ahead of Seasons 2-7, defending against the 7-Season scope risk.
- Plan 02-01 (Wave 0): BLOCKER 3 lastTickAt-vs-tickCount split landed — SimState carries TWO time fields with strict ownership (lastTickAt = wall-clock, app-only writes; tickCount = sim-internal monotonic). simAdapter.applyTickCount is the canonical sim → store path. Pinned by 3 store tests + 1 migrations test.
- Plan 02-01 (Wave 0): V1Payload extended in place per D-34 (no migrations[2]) — Phase-1's v1 has shipped zero production saves so adding fields with defaults in migrations[1] is cleaner. Regression-defense test asserts Object.keys(migrations).sort() === ['1'].
- Plan 02-01 (Wave 0): ESLint sim-purity rule (Block 3 of eslint.config.js) is the mechanical defense for D-33 — bans Date.now() and setInterval in src/sim/** with src/sim/scheduler/clock.ts as the lone exception. Programmatic Vitest test against the date-now-violator fixture proves the rule fires; negative test on clock.ts proves the exception holds.
- Plan 02-02 (Wave 1): GRID_LAYOUT origin-centering math corrected during execution — gridOriginX=296 / gridOriginY=168 (not the plan's 240/144 hedged "≈" values). True-centered in 1024×768.
- Plan 02-02 (Wave 1): Phaser 4 cannot be imported under happy-dom — its boot probe `checkInverseAlpha` calls `canvas.getContext('2d')` which returns null. SeedPicker test mocks src/game/event-bus to avoid pulling Phaser into the test runtime; Phaser scene behavioral coverage is the Plan 02-05 Playwright e2e's job (RESEARCH Validation Architecture explicitly states render-tier needs a real canvas).
- Plan 02-02 (Wave 1): Audio bootstrap is module-level state (not React useState) so the click handler can call it synchronously — Pitfall 5 (iOS Safari requires AudioContext construction inside the gesture, not just resume) is mitigated structurally.
- Phases 4-7 deliver the remaining six Seasons in mechanic-introducing pairs (Season 2 alone with prestige, Seasons 3-4, Seasons 5-6, Season 7 alone) — at most one new mechanic per Season per the scope-defense doctrine.
- Plan 01-01: scaffolded by hand (the official `npm create @phaserjs/game@latest` is interactive-only — `--template react-ts --yes` flags are silently ignored as of create-game v1.3.2); plan's documented fallback path was used. Vite 8 + TS 6 referenced-projects tsconfig layout adopted; `build` runs `tsc -b && vite build` so strict-TS gates every build. ESLint 9 installed → Plan 02 must use **flat config** (`eslint.config.js`), not legacy `.eslintrc.*`.
- Plan 01-01: pre-installed `fake-indexeddb@^6` here so Plan 03 doesn't have to re-edit `package.json`. All Phase-1 dep versions match RESEARCH.md exactly within their `^` ranges.
- Plan 01-07: minimum-viable CI workflow (49 lines) running `npm ci` + `npm run ci` on push/PR to main; ubuntu-latest only, Node 22 only, no matrix per CONTEXT user pushback against ceremony. The workflow's role is to refuse merges that break local `npm run ci`, nothing more. New CI gates (Phase 2 e2e, Phase 8 visual regression) are added by editing `package.json scripts.ci` (or new dedicated workflow files), not by editing `ci.yml` — the workflow stays stable across all future phases.
- Plan 01-07: `npm ci` (lockfile-strict) chosen over `npm install` per RESEARCH § Security Domain; `npm audit` deferred to Phase 8. `actions/setup-node@v4` with `cache: 'npm'` per RESEARCH CI Pitfall A — never cache `node_modules/` directly.
- Plan 01-05 Task 2 (north-star images): Deferred via Path C per 01-05-IOU.md. User decision: "I don't really want to deal with creating the art for this." Two placeholder PNGs committed with valid provenance sidecars. Real north-star curation deferred to Phase 5 when production-volume asset generation begins.

### Pending Todos

- **Plan 01-05 Task 2 (human curation) — Phase 5 follow-up:** 10-20 hand-curated AI generations committed to `assets/north-stars/` with provenance sidecars. Non-blocking for Phase 2 (no production AI assets until Phase 5+). Recorded in `01-05-IOU.md` with resolution path.

### Blockers/Concerns

Carry-forward banner concerns from research:

- **7-Season scope risk** is the project's biggest risk; defended by the standalone-Season-1 escape hatch (Phase 2) and the one-mechanic-per-Season cap.
- **Story ends but the loop doesn't** — Season 7 end-state design landed in Phase 1 (`.planning/season-7-end-state.md`, PIPE-05 ✓); finite Roothold ceiling enforcement deferred to Phase 4 (SEAS-04); credits/coda rest-state to Phase 7 (SEAS-10).
- **AI asset style drift** — provenance schema + CI gate + refused-sample fixture landed in Phase 1 (Plan 01-05 Task 1, PIPE-03 + AEST-08 ✓); locked 10–20-image north-star reference set deferred to Phase 5 per IOU (AEST-09 IOU); production-volume asset generation begins Phase 5+; visual regression testing in Phase 8 (PIPE-04).

## Deferred Items

Items acknowledged and carried forward:

| Category | Item | Status | Deferred At |
|----------|------|--------|-------------|
| AEST-09 | 10-20 real north-star reference images for visual regression baseline | IOU — Phase 5 follow-up | Phase 1 (01-05-IOU.md) |

## Session Continuity
