Latest build

v1.0.61 2026-10-19

  • Level 2 now teaches the eye-level view right after the zoom lesson: Zoom in until you drop to eye level with the crowd, then zoom back out to rise to the normal view (mouse wheel, trackpad or touch on the web)
  • The brief's Retry button reads in your language

v1.0.60 2026-10-19

  • The eye-level view now kicks in sooner, as soon as you pinch down to the height of the characters or a one-story building, and it drops into place in one smooth motion with the horizon across the middle of the screen; pinching out brings you back to where it took over
  • The mission brief's Get Intel and Deploy buttons are always there when ads are available, even on the first level you open after launching; one tap is enough, the button reads Loading... While the ad is on its way and plays as soon as it lands
  • A mentor stands still while telling you something in play instead of walking on the spot

v1.0.59 2026-10-18

  • Pinch in past the closest zoom and the camera drops to the characters' eye level: Walk the surface, look across it, cross over an edge to the next face, and tap the Nerd or a droid from the ground; pinch out to climb back to the normal view
  • The mentors' room has fewer spare chairs and a desk sized to the people around it
  • The mission brief's tips get a green check mark as you do them: Get Intel once the intel arrives, each Deploy tip once its droid is out
  • The web edition asks whether you want the tutorials, like the phone game, and its zoom lesson now says mouse wheel, trackpad pinch or touch pinch
  • The droid lesson and catalog say tap, the way you play; French says "tu" throughout; Italian brief titles read "Liv. 3: ..."
  • iPhone: The tracking permission prompt reads in your language

v1.0.58 2026-10-18

  • Seated characters sit properly on the sofa and the chairs

v1.0.57 2026-10-17

  • Level names that were too long in Russian and Japanese now fit their tiles in the level picker
  • The shuttle lifts straight up from the level-1 hangar before it flies off
  • The camera pan when you arrive at a new world no longer stutters

v1.0.56 2026-10-17

  • Level 1's command center is one fixed hangar, the same in Find the Nerd and Nerd Kids, and the shuttle always clears it
  • The beam waits until the ship is overhead before a caught Nerd rises, and the ship always comes
  • The separate training level is gone for good: The How to Play door and its mode are retired, levels 1 and 2 teach in play
  • Level 2's tips always show, even right after a big celebration
  • On Hard, the target stays in its huddle for the full timer, even while you read the brief
  • How to Play keeps your place when the phone turns
  • Every new text is in all 15 languages; the Russian mission brief fits on one portrait screen
  • Nerd Kids: Hall of Records and the Licenses page lay out right in portrait in Russian and Arabic

v1.0.55 2026-10-16

  • The pause screen is three clear sections: The missing asset on top, the How to Play text in the middle (scroll it by touch), the droids at the bottom, with the soundtrack and the buttons under them - In portrait and in landscape
  • The mentors walk properly: A real stride at their pace, arms swinging like everyone else
  • A caught Nerd rises straight up the middle of the beam into the ship, with the sparkles inside the beam
  • Nerd Kids: The How to Play text is in your language again

v1.0.54 2026-10-15

  • The mission brief fits on one screen in portrait, with no scroll buttons
  • Deploy and Get Intel in the mission brief now pulse so they are easy to find, and the Situation panel says what each droid does and how to use them
  • Skip one tutorial step and the rest of that game's steps stay skipped; a new game brings them back (skipped steps earn no floppies)
  • The scroll arrows on the How to Play pages and in the field catalog work by touch
  • The field catalog is a sheet sized to its card, and the Survey and Prism droids have their entries
  • The language list shows every language in its own script
  • Settings tabs, the World archives heading and the tutorial cards sit right in portrait
  • The mentors' room has a ceiling, and Fulano stands where you can see him
  • Level 6 is now "Grand Rhombi"
  • Anonymous play statistics (off in Settings if you prefer) now reach us even when a session ends before a level does
  • The ship's arrival out of the rift runs smoother: The heavy first-draw work now happens under the opening black, so the black lasts a moment longer
  • First iPhone and iPad builds, on our own devices for now; testers get them through TestFlight once the Apple Developer Program enrollment completes

v1.0.53 2026-10-14

  • Every screen now works in portrait as well as landscape - Turn the phone whichever way you like, buttons and text stay the same size
  • The game no longer forces the screen to rotate; it follows your phone's own rotation setting
  • New in Settings: Text size - Make the tutorial cards, tips and dialogue bigger (follows your phone's font size by default)

  • Fixed a crash some phones hit right after starting a new campaign, as the ship came out of the rift

  • Nerd Kids: The mentors talk, in four short scenes, and the ending is a short storybook page
  • Nerd Kids: The ending's cast cards show names and jobs only

v1.0.47 2026-10-09

  • Turn your phone upright while you search: The clock and target sit at the top, your tools at the bottom, and the world in between
  • Everything from 1.0.46, which only reached the phone as the main game

v1.0.46 2026-10-09

  • Nerd Kids: The world pictures in the level picker now show the kids colours
  • Everything from 1.0.45, which never reached the phone (see below)

v1.0.45 2026-10-09

  • Nerd Kids: The ship bursts out of the rift at the start of a new game, just like the main game
  • Nerd Kids: "Let's Play!" always starts a new game; "Back In!" continues where you left off; "Again!" picks a level
  • Nerd Kids: The Nerdette on the title screen spins when you drag her, just like the Nerd
  • Nerd Kids: The game updates itself from its own download page
  • The level 1 droid lesson lets you move and zoom the world while the "Try it now!" card is up, and a tap on the ringed droid counts from where it first appears
  • The pause card keeps the screen in landscape; only the search itself turns with your phone

v1.0.44 2026-10-09

  • The music layers stay perfectly in step as a level heats up and calms down
  • Music keeps its full level after the first find; it used to drop a notch for the rest of the level
  • Finding the Nerd plays its sting once, clean - It used to double up and crackle
  • Five new soundtracks to pick from in the pause card: Pixel Riot, Gravity Funk, Vector Run, Lo-Fi Orbit, Spy Protocol
  • Nerd Kids: The win jingle and the time's-up sting sit at the same level as the other sounds

  • Nerd Kids: The Nerd and the Nerdette dance on the title screen, either side of the logo
  • Nerd Kids: The Nerd jumps for joy on the title screen
  • A smaller download: Unused models are gone and the helper bots take less room
  • Nerd Kids: Nine soundtracks of its own to pick from, with a title sting, a win jingle and a gentle time is up sound
  • The Editor app opens straight into the editor and is about 90 MB smaller
  • Editor: Changing characters keeps you on the same bench, the mentors can be seated, and a seat's values copy to another seat

v1.0.39 2026-10-03

  • Submitted to Google Play for review on 2026-10-04 (version code 336)
  • Save and quit keeps your droids: A droid you caught stays caught, one still flying is still there when you come back, in the campaign and in the Daily
  • A tip card never covers the level results
  • New text is translated in all 15 languages
  • The update button opens the download page in your browser
  • The game no longer asks for permission to install other apps

v1.0.37 2026-10-02

  • The shuttle never dives belly-first onto a world: A bad approach re-enters along the lane instead, flying off screen and back if you were watching
  • The shuttle clears every building by a ship length and no longer covers tall ones
  • Hard is a little kinder: A fuller but not doubled crowd, fewer look-alikes, a fifth more time, one Signal Ping to start
  • Wrong taps cost no time on any difficulty
  • Leaderboard: Ordinary names are accepted and only your own best moves, live on the server now

v1.0.35 2026-10-02

  • The Signal Ping arrow always points at the target, and when the target is on screen the whole view glows in the ping colour instead
  • Signal Ping now sounds when it starts
  • Stars: Two for speed, one for perfect markings, one for each bot you catch; How to Play and the level selector explain it, and the selector shows stars only
  • The level summary is centred with Speed, Bots found and Markings rows; no more points for clearing a level or a clean trace
  • Continue after save and quit drops you back into the level, not the dialog
  • After a transmission earns enough for an ability, the game offers to activate it
  • The marking tutorial plays on level 3, the two sweep tutorials on level 4, and those buttons wait until then; the web runs the same tutorials as mobile
  • Leaderboard: Ordinary names like The Nerdiest are accepted, your own best only moves when you beat it, and other players are never overwritten
  • Web: A loading bar with a percentage, no more pause screen on start
  • The same character no longer stands twice on one face
  • The arrival card says Entering the Nerdverse, nothing more

v1.0.33 2026-09-27

  • New app icons for the main game and the kids game, drawn from the concept art

v1.0.32 2026-09-27

  • From Hard up the mission brief reveals either the hand item or the back item, chosen per level, and shows the other as unknown; the portrait no longer gives the hidden one away
  • On your very first level the helper droid is a sure thing and the brief says so
  • Beating Normal now sets Hard, and beating Hard sets Impossible, on every edition
  • The finale dance party fires on the real last chapter again

v1.0.31 2026-09-27

  • The results ladder marks the tier you played with a box, not only a colour
  • On Impossible the target's portrait flashes when its gear changes, and the finale dance carries a big red Impossible! Stamp
  • Hard allows two rescues; the dance finale plays on Hard and again on Impossible
  • Web: The disk award no longer brushes the Skip button
  • Kids: The same build as the main game, with the wrong-tap cost guard and the English capture fix

v1.0.30 2026-09-27

  • Four difficulty tiers: Easy keeps the relaxed clock and thinner crowd, Normal takes a little of both back, Hard plays on the old clock with the full crowd, no starting help and a time cost for wrong taps, and Impossible unlocks after a Hard clear with no droids, fading marks and a target that changes gear once a level
  • On Hard the target mixes into huddles and chats, and look-alikes copy the target's hand item on a different character
  • The results card shows the tier ladder with the next tier and a dare; the Hall of Records names its tier
  • Web: Hard pays half again the disks per level, Impossible double, and a Hard clear sets the next run to Impossible
  • Video clips and the ability bar now follow the English capture setting

v1.0.29 2026-09-26

  • Web: Hard is offered only after the whole web campaign is cleared on Normal, not after the first chapter

v1.0.27 2026-09-26

  • Web and Kids: A disk every 250 points, droids worth one disk, a starting balance that buys every ability once with 20 left, the tutorial guides you to the first droid and teaches marking a face, a bigger award when disks land, the Skip clear of the counter
  • Web: A wider tap around the asset, Hard by default after a Normal clear, no developer tools, the ending frozen on the last world with the rift in view, no site link
  • All editions: The privacy policy inside the app, The Block a third as crowded, shorter credits cards

v1.0.26 2026-09-26

  • The Editor app: The gear editor as its own install from the beta site, never on Google Play

v1.0.25 2026-09-26

  • Kids edition, the test build: The brief tour and five short in-play cards teach Super Find, Freeze, Simple, the Hint panel and the 5-floppy ad; the words say floppies everywhere; a kids launcher icon
  • The lit Super Find button keeps its price readable; Freeze shows its countdown alone

v1.0.24 2026-09-26

  • Kids edition, first test build: Floppies from your score and from a short ad (5 each), three abilities to buy - Super Find, Freeze and Simple - A Hint panel under the asset, no holograms, one difficulty, the full campaign, no story scenes, no leaderboard
  • The gear editor now ships only as its own Editor app from the beta site

  • The ship turns its nose a little quicker on a crossing
  • Long ability names take their short form when they would not fit

v1.0.22 2026-09-20

  • Crowds chat in huddles that come and go: Most faces host one, some none, some two, and people walk up to join
  • The ship crosses nose-first and settles onto its lap the same way every time
  • The Belt reads cooler and darker; the rift parks clear of the HUD
  • The web ending is the story scroll and the credits; the app may rotate to portrait
  • Long ability names take a short form when they would not fit; Arbee fits the How to Play bench

v1.0.21 2026-09-16

  • Each transmission on the mission brief plays its own ad: Get Intel and both Deploy buttons work in any order, and a button comes back if no ad could play

v1.0.20 2026-09-16

  • Web: Abilities cost disks only - Time Anchor 5, Intel 5, Survey Sweep 20, Signal Ping 30, Prism Sweep 10; nothing is in stock at level start, a lesson's free use is for the lesson
  • Web: The disk counter rolls up when disks land
  • The droid tiles sit side by side under the target, clear of the ability bar
  • The level summary is two cards: Who you rescued, and how you did
  • Crowd droids answer a tap in static; Juana has her voice; holograms lose the square under their feet
  • Level 2 teaches the Survey Sweep and the Prism Sweep to returning players too

v1.0.19 2026-09-15

  • Twice the time on every clock: An easy-going hunt
  • The Mission Brief breathes: Name and role together, the bystanders are back, the environment caption reads whole, the supplies spread across their box, the objective, streak and threat lines are gone
  • Tap a hologram and its card says the static; the cleared tally is gone

v1.0.18 2026-09-15

  • Credits: The Skip button sits top-right and the brigade ID cards stay on screen with the bigger type

v1.0.17 2026-09-15

  • Tap a hologram and it answers in static: Bzzt!, BZZRRT!, KZZZT! Or Bzzzz..., each with its own sound
  • Every language catches up: The Kids edition, the Deploy box, the leaderboard name replies, INTEL, WREN's new line and the hologram static
  • The full test build: Every check ran and the picture baselines were re-blessed

v1.0.16 2026-09-15

  • A new Nerd Rift: The theme is louder and cleaner on a phone, all three layers audible, no more crackle at high volume (+0.63 MB)
  • Every ability button stays on the bar: Greyed at zero on the phone, priced on the web
  • The disk counter sits under the score and the X on the web
  • The Skip button moved under the score, out of the ability row

v1.0.15 2026-09-15

  • Web: A transmission pays 10 disks, every time; the balance shows the credit before you spend it
  • Web: An INTEL button buys the asset's gear reveal for 10 disks
  • Web: Taps register on slow devices, the score summary is wider, and the between-level crossing plays without the button strip
  • Web and Kids: Catching a droid floats a +100 over it
  • The pause menu no longer hides a droid behind the disk counter
  • The level summary no longer repeats the campaign and difficulty line

v1.0.14 2026-09-14

  • Bigger type everywhere: Captions, body lines and buttons read larger on small phones
  • The tutorial can be skipped on the web

v1.0.12 2026-09-14

  • The Nerd is visible again on every level after the first in one sitting: Since 1.0.0 the crossing between worlds hid the new world's target, and a timeout showed an empty spotlight
  • The Mission Brief lists all four abilities every time, even at x0, and the droid deployments moved into their own Deploy box under the asset
  • The bridge talks play every line: A tap used to skip the next speaker
  • The ship parks along the hangar it hovers over
  • Level 2 teaches the Survey Sweep and the Prism Sweep in the field; level 1 keeps the Signal Ping and the Time Anchor
  • The summary card shows the stars you earned on the level
  • The cleared X lands the moment you tap a bystander
  • Leaderboard names: A name on a board belongs to the player who put it there; the game asks for another if it is taken, and rude names are refused
  • The game-over card fits the screen and closes with an X; Settings lines up Difficulty, Language and Help; menu and Labs cards read tighter
  • The asset portrait sits centred in its box

v1.0.10 2026-09-14

  • The bridge talks read clean in English: "Let's", "an old note", "the rifts opened", and a stray dot is gone
  • The practice chapter list no longer rides up over its header now that the Field Catalog sits in it

v1.0.9 2026-09-14

  • Arriving at a new sector is smoother: The ship climbs away from the rift in one motion and the camera swings after it without a jolt
  • The Mission Brief fits the screen again: Nothing hides under the bottom edge, and on a tight screen the brief tightens its type and portraits before it drops anything

v1.0.8 2026-09-14

  • The bridge talks have been rewritten: The G.E.E.K. Mentors, Arbee and Alpha tell the story of the N.U.L.L. Swarms in their own words, and the ending and the game-over line follow suit, in all fifteen languages
  • Crowds actually chat now: Every world that can host a huddle gets one, and passers-by walk up, join the circle and drift off again
  • Web edition: The search ends with the mentors' talk at the table, the ship diving into the rift and a To Be Continued; the Exit button is gone from the web title (a page cannot close itself)
  • The calm bed of the Nerd Rift soundtrack is louder again
  • Crowd walkers no longer slide a step on an idle pose or stand a beat on a walking one
  • Cass is back in her own chair at the bridge table: For a week the cut scenes had seated Monty Magnetar there under his name

v1.0.7 2026-09-14

  • Real rewarded transmissions: The rescue, the Intel boost and the two droid deploys in the brief play an ad (test ads until the store listing is live), with the consent form where the law asks for it
  • The Nerd picks his hiding spot with room to spare and plans around the crowd, so he no longer dithers on a knife-edge cover

v1.0.6 2026-09-14

  • No grey flash between the studio card and the title
  • Settings tabs look like tabs, sitting on a framed page; the Options rows scroll inside it
  • Crowd members walk somewhere on purpose: To a terminal, a seat, a chat, a structure, the pond or the rim, and stay a moment before moving on
  • The gear, arrows and check marks draw on every platform, the web included
  • Sound on the web edition, and the web title gets its own painting
  • Tank's and Pixel's packs sit the way the editor set them in every pose; the floppy disk icon faces you straight on
  • Debug builds: Saving in the editor never changes the pose you are looking at; the Developer tab has its own page

v1.0.5 2026-09-13

  • Settings is tabs: Play, Sound, Options and About, one short page each; no more arrows on the buttons, and the language you picked reads centred
  • Performance in Options: Auto picks a tier for your phone, or choose Low, Medium or High yourself; the shadow switches still win when you set them
  • The spotlight on the Nerd who got away never shows where the light comes from
  • On the bridge only the mentors, Fulano, Arbee and Alpha ever sit; Cass carries the line Pepito used to
  • The boards fill their open ranks per mode; only the Daily Mission board changes its crew by the day
  • The Daily Directive is called the Daily Mission everywhere
  • Aria's remaining hand items follow her puzzle grip until she is tuned; every cello case turns its wide end away from the carrying hand
  • Debug builds: A Developer tab; copying gear between a right-hander and a left-hander mirrors the grip and scales it to the body; Copy ALL carries a hand item with its wrists, a back item as position and scale

v1.0.4 2026-09-13

  • The Nerd no longer marches in place against a crowd: A blocked step turns into a new route or a real stop

v1.0.3 2026-09-13

  • The Space Nerd Studios card plays at every launch, and the engine splash shows the studio mark instead of the Godot logo
  • Neo wears his solar power pack the same in every pose

v1.0.2 2026-09-13

  • A lost Daily Mission is on record too: The day's screen shows the Nerd who got away, and the board sits beside the print instead of under it
  • The boards fill their open ranks with N.E.R.D. Crew records, marked as crew and always below real players
  • World Archives level grids sit in even rows of five or fewer
  • Closing a screen with X or Back returns you to the menu you came from
  • The Campaign panel: New Timeline doors read as doors, and every column shows a value
  • Settings carries How to Play and the Tutorial
  • Skyla, Lumi, Pepito and Ozu wear their packs the way the editor set them, in every pose; Aria's puzzle sits the same in every pose and her cello case turns its wide end away from her working hand
  • Debug builds: The gear editor opens from the Developer row in Settings (the hidden droid taps are gone), poses step back and forward, undo and redo clear on save and never move you off the pose you are viewing

v1.0.1 2026-09-13

  • The main menu is four cards: Campaign, Daily Mission, N.E.R.D. Labs, World Archives
  • The Field Catalog now lives in the World Archives and the Hall of Records in N.E.R.D. Labs
  • After the day's mission, the Daily Mission card opens your record: The catch, the note, the board, and back through the days
  • Settings is three pages: Sound, Options, About
  • The studio card plays once per update, not every launch
  • Blackout has left the Labs
  • Nobody carrying a viola case, briefcase or duffle bag takes a seat
  • Nerd Rift plays a little louder in its calm and tense tiers, in the levels and on the title
  • The screen titles inside the menus are bigger
  • The Nerdverse tip names the N.U.L.L. Swarm and the operative it has affected
  • Mentors keep their speech bubbles and their stories for the Campaign; in the Daily Mission and the Labs they are faces in the crowd
  • The character in How to Play, the pause card and the dashboard sits centred in its frame at every angle
  • Smoother on phones: Lighter shadows and a lower 3D resolution on mobile, and crowd members you cannot see stop costing frames
  • How to Play shows all four ability droids and describes every ability the same way; tap the character to see another one with different gear
  • The tutorial teaches all four abilities, and Alpha Beta is the one to find
  • The N.E.R.D. Database reads Field Catalog, Field Manual, Leaderboard
  • Bigger text on the menu cards, and the Labs suggestions line sits at the bottom of the screen

v1.0.0 2026-09-08

  • The first store release: The same game the beta testers have been playing, headed for Google Play
  • Two new structures: The Comms Dish on First Light, and the Waypoint Beacon in the Deep Field, whose ball floats over the spire inside two rings that orbit, tilt and reverse on their own
  • Catch snapshots are taken up close: The asset fills the frame with the ship behind it, so every catch in the catalog is recognisable
  • Anything you caught on Scrap now counts for Monty (the last update credited a mentor by mistake)
  • The Archivist's hand and back items sit where the editor put them
  • The Hall of Records headers and the disk messages read in all 15 languages
  • A store build never shows the practice ad stand-in
  • The ship keeps its belly to the ground through fast turns over small worlds instead of rolling out sideways

v0.10.180 2026-09-07

  • Cosmo Comet keeps his cape: No back item ever lands on him
  • Scrap, Daemon and Beez have joined the crowd; anything you caught on them now counts for Monty, Neo and Pixel
  • The nerd no longer picks a hiding spot from where the camera used to be, so he stays hidden after every camera cut
  • The Hall of Records reads as a table: Rank, name and score in their own columns
  • Fresh gear positions for the cello case and the tablet on five characters, and the tablet's correction carried to the rest of their handhelds

v0.10.179 2026-09-06

  • The Frontier turret has its gun back: The ship no longer parks on it, and its tracers never cross the ship's path
  • The found asset and the droids stay out of sight while the ship crosses to the next world
  • A character carrying the cello keeps a handheld that does not swing, so nothing clips into the case
  • Only the ability droids make droid sounds; the drifting ones are quiet
  • The Asset Bay shows every assembled structure whole, with the arrows where they belong
  • The borrowed space stations wear their own hue over First Light, the Frontier and the Anomaly
  • A smaller download: The colour maps and the roughness maps of every structure now ship compressed
  • A character that stops walking stops in place, without the small sideways slide

v0.10.176 2026-09-06

  • First Light is back on its original soil, with three new olive variants of it, so it no longer looks like the Frontier
  • Every chapter's ground comes in more variants now, different face to face and still one world
  • The searched-face grid and the gold pin go dark on bright worlds, so they read on sand and ice
  • Space stations and asteroids orbit every world now: A station about half the time, up to two rocks, and the Belt never fewer than five
  • The Frontier turret guards the even-numbered worlds of every chapter, painted to match each chapter
  • The Asset Bay shows the assembled structures moving, not just their bases
  • The beacon's crystal hovers closer to its base and bobs half as far
  • The Anomaly's containment pylon stands on its worlds: Three shards floating in a glass tube, bobbing together and turning against each other
  • The World Archives selector has fresh pictures of every world
  • Story scenes play only in the campaign, never from the World Archives
  • Editor (sideload only): An Unlock all worlds switch beside Owned view

v0.10.172 2026-09-06

  • Every chapter has its own ground and walls now: Cream and safety orange at First Light, sand and rust on the Frontier, dark rock in the Belt, glowing blue soil in Deep Field, pale ice on the Mirror, black glass and gold seams at the Anomaly
  • The Frontier turret shoots at the ship. It fires at where the ship was, so it always misses
  • The beta build now shows the game the way everyone will see it: No perk unless you own it, ads where they belong
  • The Asset Bay's Droids shelf lists all four droids
  • Fulano stands where you can see him again in the table scenes
  • Every story line, sheet and card added this week is translated into all fifteen languages
  • On tablets the play field sits clear of the buttons and the target portrait
  • Every character in a crowd has twenty things to say, the mentors show a quiet "..." when they have something for you, and the aliens speak their own way
  • The story cards and the ending tell the tale of the null nanobots, the geeks and the Nerd Initiative in fewer, clearer words
  • No more bug alien frozen in a T-pose on the far faces
  • The droids in the portraits and the Asset Bay face you

v0.10.163 2026-09-03

  • The finale celebrates the full haul: "You Found The Nerds!" plus a tally of the signals you already secured
  • The starship took flying lessons: Gentler banks, slower rolls, a calmer cruise everywhere - Pickups, orbit laps, and the flight between worlds

v0.10.109 2026-08-12

  • The atmosphere got real: Worlds seen from space now wear a soft haze that hugs the horizon and fades into the black - No more hard glowing edges
  • Intel shows your target properly: After a gear reveal, the portrait frames them up close and centered, gear and all

v0.10.108 2026-08-12

  • Bigger wins look bigger: The celebration now scales with your streak tier - A Legendary streak turns the confetti gold with a bigger volley

  • Worlds wear atmosphere now: A soft rim of sky hugs each world seen from space, and the stars drift in layers during the crossing for real depth
  • The title screen breathes: A slow nebula drifts behind the menu
  • The floating lightblade is grounded: Left-handed carriers finally hold it properly
  • Marin Cove is properly himself in every language

v0.10.107 2026-08-11

  • Two new faces in the crowd: Genevieve Codella, geneticist, and Marin Cove, exo-oceanographer - Both fully posable, gear-ready, and waiting to be found
  • The final thirty seconds sound like it: A tension layer rises under the music as the clock runs down - And the clock itself never doubles up
  • The music now ducks politely under the phone call, the beam-up, and your win stamp, then swells back
  • Every sound effect leveled to sit right at phone volume - Quiet ones lifted, sharp ones tamed, nothing spikes and nothing vanishes

v0.10.106 2026-08-11

  • Your view never clips into a planet or a building again - The camera glides around solid things instead of through them, and catching your target while zoomed in close now frames the moment properly instead of teleporting the view
  • One clock at a time: The countdown heartbeat and the Time Anchor tick no longer talk over each other - The heartbeat yields during a freeze and returns after
  • A last-second catch no longer keeps the heartbeat pounding through your celebration

v0.10.105 2026-08-11

  • Clearing a chapter now celebrates and carries you straight into the next one - Your save stays put, and the full credits wait for the true finale

v0.10.104 2026-08-11

  • Space Nerd Studios says hello: The studio card now opens the show at launch - Any tap skips it
  • The starship learned to fly like a plane: Nose first, belly to the planet, banking gently through turns and leveling back out. No more sideways drifting
  • The ship also learned respect for planets: It never cuts through a world anymore - It arcs around the globe to wherever it needs to be, and on arriving at a new world it sweeps around the horizon and settles into the orbit it keeps for your whole mission
  • The ship got a sleeker profile: Stubby wings, same body
  • The mission brief fits the screen in every language now: A tighter hint, your current streak up in the Situation panel, and the bystander lineup needs no caption
  • Time Sync reads like a proper log: Score, streak, and the last sync date in their own labeled columns - And a running timeline drops its slot number, only fresh timelines carry one
  • Practice Worlds is now the World Archives - And replaying an archived world rewrites your recorded score and stars for that world, so every record shows a real single-run result

v0.10.103 2026-08-10

  • The ship earns its keep: Catch your target and they phone it in - The starship swoops off its lane, hovers overhead, and beams them up. Between worlds the camera now rides with the ship as it flies to the next world and settles back into orbit
  • Streaks got honest and personal: Every mode and difficulty counts its own - Campaign streaks live per save slot, the Infinite per difficulty, each Labs experiment on its own. No mode ever borrows another mode's glory
  • Streaks also got louder: The win stamp levels up from Streak x2! Through On a roll!, Unstoppable! And Legendary!, says exactly where you earned it, your mission brief shows your current streak before you deploy, and your Time Sync slots wear theirs
  • Gear in hand, everywhere: Items are now properly held in every pose - Walking, running, gesturing, and even standing still. No more floating gadgets
  • The laptop retires from the field: It now lives on desks where an open laptop belongs
  • Tutorials know their place: The Daily Directive and Labs never interrupt with lessons, and starting a fresh timeline after finishing all the training asks whether you want tutorials again
  • Hall of Mirrors deals you the intel automatically - Telling twins apart is the whole game there
  • Helena's story reads plainer: Same kind of fossil, more than one world

v0.10.102 2026-08-09

  • N.E.R.D. Labs opens on the title screen: Five experimental game modes to try during the beta - Hall of Mirrors, Lightning Round, Triple Signal, Panic Ping, and Blackout - Each card tells you what makes it different. Play them, and the keepers get folded into the real game
  • Cleared suspects now stay marked: A check badge, a scan ring, and a dimmed look - No more tapping the same person twice. Re-checking a cleared suspect is free
  • Every tap answers back: Taps on empty ground give a soft ripple and tick, and your phone speaks a new touch language - A little celebration buzz for the find, a dull thud for a wrong guess, a double tick for a droid catch, a heavy clunk when time freezes
  • Finding the Nerd got more cinematic: The camera takes a small breath toward your catch before the confetti flies
  • Less waiting everywhere: Flights between worlds and the pause after a win are trimmed about 15 percent
  • Brighter, more distinct worlds: Each sector now has its own light signature, and shadows lifted out of the murk
  • New field lessons teach marking, pinging, and the Time Anchor right when they first matter - And the first-contact tutorial is much shorter
  • New in Settings: A Privacy page with the anonymous play data switch and the full privacy policy. Anonymous play statistics help tune difficulty - Never any personal data

v0.10.101 2026-08-08

  • The leaderboards went global: Scores now transmit worldwide, and a new Leaderboard browser on the title screen lets you flip through every board - The Daily by date, Campaign and Infinite Initiative by difficulty
  • The Daily Directive board now has a proper Exit - Finish your mission, see the standings, and leave cleanly
  • Save & Quit works in the Daily Directive too: Come back the same day and pick up right where you left off, per difficulty. The save expires when the new daily arrives
  • The couches got comfier: Bigger, and everyone sits properly on the cushion now

v0.10.100 2026-08-08

  • Meet Helena Helix, Astro-Paleontologist - The ninth asset joins the hunt. She digs up what lived on these worlds before the crowds did, and yes, the surname is about the double helix

v0.10.99 2026-08-07

  • The Infinite Initiative now saves your run: Hit X and Save & Quit, and next time you enter you are dropped right back where you were - Per difficulty, on the pause screen, ready to resume. The title button shows the waiting depth

v0.10.97 2026-08-07

  • The Drift and the Daily Directive now always show on the menu - Locked with a clear hint until you clear The Anomaly, so you know what awaits

v0.10.96 2026-08-07

  • The Daily Directive (was Daily Drift): One mission a day, the same world for everyone - Zero starting supplies, a mission brief with intel, and a daily streak that pays a growing bonus
  • Leaderboards arrive: Every game over rolls into that mode's board - The Daily per day, Campaign and The Drift all-time per difficulty. Enter any name you like (keep it clean - The board checks)
  • Offline-friendly: No connection means device-only boards, and your scores transmit later on their own
  • Every Drift depth now opens with a mission brief explaining exactly what is different down there
  • Fixed: Finding the asset in the Drift now actually ends the level (no more infinite scoring taps)

v0.10.95 2026-08-07

  • The Drift arrives: An endless ladder of generated worlds past the campaign - One life, deeper is harder, personal best depths per difficulty. Unlocks when you clear The Anomaly
  • The Daily Drift: Everyone faces the same run each day, one attempt - Come back tomorrow for a new one
  • Anomalies: Named twists announced up front - Twin Echo (an exact double in different gear), Double Signal (find BOTH assets), Signal Malfunction (the scanner lies and sounds like it) - Live in The Anomaly finale and the deep Drift
  • Every level preview freshly baked for the new galaxy

v0.10.94 2026-08-07

  • The galaxy grows: 40 levels across six sectors, every chapter its own family of worlds - No shape repeats

  • The menu splits into Campaign and Practice: Chapter buttons always start a fresh campaign run, and Practice replays any level you have beaten - No kit, just the hunt
  • Your past wins carry over: Every level you ever starred is already unlocked in Practice

v0.10.91 2026-08-07

  • Kai finally carries his gear like everyone else: Briefcase hanging at his side, duffle resting below his fist - His walking grip matched the rest of the cast at last

v0.10.90 2026-08-07

  • Fixed: On very crowded worlds the asset could fail to appear at all, leaving the level impossible - The target now always deploys, even if the only clear ground is a pond beach
  • Level select is now practice mode: Picking a level to retry starts with no signal pings, no time anchors and no continues - The full kit belongs to campaign runs and saved games. Droid catches still restock you mid-level

  • Eight new gear items join the field kit: Instant camera, multi lens, headphones, mechanical puzzle, star chart and field journal in hand; greenhouse pack and solar pack on the back
  • All of them can be target intel, cycle in the how-to, and tune in the gear editor

v0.10.45 2026-07-31

  • A starship now circles every world in orbit - About a tenth of the world's size, each world on its own tilted lane
  • The little chapter worlds on the title screen fly their ships too

v0.10.44 2026-07-31

  • Copy from any pose: The editor's copy picker now lists every pose, not just tuned ones - An untuned pose copies exactly what it displays
  • Works on whatever is benched: Hand item, back item, or either wrist (wrists copy from poses with a tuned curl)

v0.10.43 2026-07-31

  • Your tuned gear placement now shows everywhere: The title screen, the target dashboard, pause help, the Asset Bay, mission portraits and the dance party all use the exact editor values
  • Switching characters in the editor keeps your camera exactly where you had it - No more re-framing to the opening shot

v0.10.42 2026-07-31

  • Tuned rows are untouchable now: A stray tap on the touchpad no longer re-grids the row you were only looking at
  • A gesture can only ever write the exact row named at the top of the bench - Never a silently retargeted one

v0.10.41 2026-07-31

  • The bench seats cycle their own gear: Tap Hand item again for the next device, tap Back item for the next pack
  • The Back seat is always live - Tapping it with nothing worn equips the first back item

v0.10.40 2026-07-31

  • Switching characters keeps the same pose now - The browse and editor carry the pose across, not its slot number

v0.10.39 2026-07-31

  • Both wrists bend on every character now - The free hand was stuck, which locked lefty wrists entirely
  • Nerdette's runaway right-wrist value from the stuck era is cleared, ready to tune for real

v0.10.38 2026-07-31

  • The carry tablet is hand-fitted to all four assets now - Every character holds it their own way
  • Each wrist curl is personal too, from the Nerd's gentle turn to Nerdette's full flip

v0.10.37 2026-07-31

  • Bending a wrist never moves the held gear anymore - The hand articulates, the item holds its place
  • A Freeze toggle on the character side pauses the animation - Tune against a still pose
  • Alf's latest tuning merged: Personal curls for Zack and the Nerd, tablet re-seats for the Nerd and Zuri

v0.10.36 2026-07-31

  • The bench seats four: Hand item, back item, left wrist, right wrist - Pick what the touchpad edits
  • In wrist mode the pad bends the hand: Drags and twist all rotate, no pinch
  • Every character owns their wrist curls now - And copy/paste carries them between characters
  • Reset row zeroes a wrist like any other row; undo stacks everything in one history

v0.10.35 2026-07-31

  • Tuning is per character now: Every edit belongs to exactly one character, one pose, one item
  • Save shows its manifest first - The exact character/pose/gear rows it will write - Then commits on confirm
  • Switching gear away from unsaved edits asks: Save all, discard that item, or keep editing
  • Paste a placement onto another pose, another same-slot item, or another character - Cross-character pastes auto-adjust to the new skeleton
  • Alf's latest field tuning merged: Three mounts, new pose offsets, lefty defaults and a Zuri override

v0.10.34 2026-07-30

  • The axis arrows can hide: An Axes toggle joins the view buttons
  • The hand and back gear buttons move onto the character side, right where you watch the change
  • Two-finger twist on the character spins them - Same surface as pinch-zoom and the asset tap

v0.10.33 2026-07-30

  • Alf's field tuning lands: The tablet re-seated, with bent wrists in the carry hold
  • Left-handed characters get their own hand-gear placements - Tune once on a lefty and every lefty inherits it

  • Fixed the asset card scrambling after leaving the editor - The character sits above the buttons again

v0.10.32 2026-07-30

  • Browse characters wearing the SAME gear - Stepping assets no longer strips them
  • Tap the character inside the editor to switch who is wearing the benched item
  • Nothing saves by itself anymore: A Save button confirms twice, first reporting how many characters and poses the change touches
  • A pulsing AFFECTS: ALL CHARACTERS banner shows the blast radius; tap it to narrow to one character
  • The axis arrows and ring slim down to a quarter the width and an eighth the length
  • The touchpad legend wears the axis colors - Each gesture names its colored axis
  • Wrist bends now belong to the pose AND the held item together

v0.10.31 2026-07-30

  • Pinch to zoom the character view itself
  • Undo and Redo in the editor - 20 steps in each direction

  • A colored ring circles the current rotation axis
  • Move and Rotate axes toggle separately
  • Copy and paste a hand item's placement between devices
  • Wrist bends no longer drag the held item along - The hand articulates around it

v0.10.30 2026-07-30

  • The editor opens looking right at the benched item: Back items show the back, hand items show the carry hand
  • An Axis toggle above the pad cycles X/Y/Z - It names what up/down (and the twist) drives, and what left/right drives
  • Copy a tuned pose's offsets into an untuned pose with one pick
  • Wrist buttons: Bend each hand about the focus axis, per pose - The held gear follows
  • Reset view re-frames the item

v0.10.29 2026-07-30

  • Touchpad edits show live in every pose now: In Generic and Char scope the item sits on its real mount while you tune it
  • The editor splits the screen evenly - Character left, controls right - So the touchpad has room for two hands
  • The pad also hears every input style the phone offers, with a tiny corner counter showing what arrives

v0.10.28 2026-07-30

  • The gear editor's steppers give way to a touchpad: Drag to move, pinch to scale, twist two fingers to rotate
  • Gestures work in view space - Orbit the character to reach the other axes
  • Values snap to tidy numbers when you lift your fingers; Touch: Fine for delicate work
  • The finale party gets real dancers: The assets cycle their celebration moves - No more T-poses
  • The party floor now belongs to the assets plus a few aliens and robots

v0.10.27 2026-07-30

  • Updating now really installs: After the download, the Android installer opens on its own
  • (The app was missing the install permission - The download finished and then nothing could happen)

v0.10.26 2026-07-29

  • The editor knock always answers: Seven taps open the bench even with empty hands (the tablet jumps in)
  • The Signal Droid counts along - "editor 4/7" appears so a missed knock is never a mystery

  • The gear editor goes full screen: Orbit, pan and zoom the character while you tune
  • Three tuning scopes: Everyone, this pose only, or this character only

  • 05:18 docs: backlog 76 CODED - the eye-level lesson pair; the tutorial-keeper handover, P48-TU-eye, pending translations cleared
  • 05:16 ship: 1.0.60 (357) to beta1 from the Mac mini - the eye-level view enters at the head / one-story line in one motion, the brief's Get Intel / Deploy buttons stay and play from one press, the mentor card idles

  • 01:10 backlog: 72 and 77 MERGED - the brief's ad buttons
  • 01:10 merge ads/buttons - the brief's Get Intel / Deploy buttons stay whenever the edition has ads (backlog 72: they were gated on an ad already LOADED, and the first brief of a session built before the SDK was even created), prefetch at every level start and after consent, one press waits up to 20 s and shows from that press with Loading... / Retry on the button (77); ADS i/j/k + press rows; smoke PASS (14 checks, evasion waived)
  • 01:08 docs: backlog 72 / 77 CODED 961e23d1, the editions-lane handover (causes, fix, verdicts, iPhone steps), P48-MZ-adbuttons a-g, the Retry row pending translation, LOAD_WAIT_S on the ledger

2026-10-18

  • 22:59 docs: backlog row 75 CODED b04db1fb, the hud-lane handover entry, P48-SP-card-idle proposed

  • 10:40 backlog: 67 MERGED 168863ca - the story room landed on main
  • 10:39 merge story/room-dressing - the mentors' story room (backlog 67): three spare chairs gone (the one in front of Fulano, the back-wall centre, the one inside the desk), the back-wall desk fitted by height to 1.2 m; STORY / EDITOR / SMOKE PASS on 18731a0d
  • 10:39 backlog: 64 MERGED da03cb57 - the eye-level view landed on main
  • 10:38 merge world/eyelevel - the eye-level view (backlog 64, P48-CAM-eyelevel): pinch past the zoom floor to a 1.35 u eye height, walk the surface, cross the slab rims, tap the Nerd and the droids from the ground; HUNT eye-a..e + eye-hud rows, EYEWARM; smoke PASS on the merged tree (9 checks, evasion waived), goldens 17/17
  • 10:38 docs: story-room handback - the final-tree verdicts (main 18731a0d merged): SMOKE PASS (4 checks), EDITOR PASS
  • 10:37 crowd-warden handover: the merged-tree touched smoke PASS (9 checks, evasion waived); main 1d782288 merged
  • 10:37 Merge branch 'main' into world/eyelevel
  • 10:16 backlog: 70 - the routines fire 3 h late until the Mac reboots (launchd's zone predates the timezone switch)
  • 10:16 Merge ops/routines: the headless driver waits for the usage limit's reset time and retries (limit-wait / limit-skip ledger verdicts, up to two retries inside the watchdog; backlog 49) and the two regression routines run only when game/ or tools/ changed since their last completed run (no-change verdict, 'no change since' heartbeat line; backlog 53, Alf 2026-10-17); routine_gates.py + 31 unit tests, the ops harness 92/92, AUTO limit row; P48-OP-limit / P48-OP-onchange proposed
  • 10:15 docs: backlog 49 and 53 CODED (6d1a0e39 + dfe8296b), P48-OP-limit and P48-OP-onchange proposed (the OP-4 tension named), README-ops test count 92/92; the harness compares wc -l arithmetically (macOS pads it)
  • 10:12 ops: the on-change preambles and the limit row - weekly-release-check and golden-corpus-biweekly SELF-CHECK read the heartbeat's first line as the stamp and a "no change since" second line as a quiet window never a MISSED one, plus the ON CHANGE ONLY paragraph (Alf 2026-10-17 verbatim); the digest knows limit-wait / limit-skip / no-change and the note cell; check_automation AUTO limit (the driver's wiring, the parser on the real 2026-10-17 line, the week's limit / no-change rows) and the heartbeat rows read the first line; touched_smoke maps routine_gates.py to check-automation; README-ops: the driver section, the ledger's note column, decisions D14 / D15, the tests, what the coordinator does after the merge (no plist changed - the next window runs the merged driver; --verify confirms)
  • 10:12 ops: the headless driver waits out the Claude usage limit and starts the two regression routines only on a change (backlog 49, 53) - headless_task.sh parses "You've hit your session limit · resets 8:10am (America/New_York)" from the dying attempt's own tail (routine_gates.py limit: 9:30am / 8:10am / 12:05pm / 9am / 21:30 forms, a zone suffix, a day = skip), records limit-wait, sleeps until the reset + 3 min and retries at most twice within the watchdog, else limit-skip with the reason; weekly-release-check and golden-corpus-biweekly run only when game/ or tools/ changed on main since the last completed run (routine_gates.py change: the ledger's tip=<sha> range, else the heartbeat's --first-parent --since), a quiet window = a no-change row, the heartbeat re-stamped with "no change since <stamp>", exit 0 (FTN_FORCE_RUN=1 overrides); runs.tsv gains a tenth cell note (tip=<main sha>, the reset, the attempt, the base); --dry-run [--limit-line]; 31 unit tests (tests/test_routine_gates.py) and 19 harness checks on a fake claude and a fake git repo
  • 09:47 crowd-warden handover: the fresh windowed --only eye on the merged tree PASSES every row (eye-b real time against the orbit control)
  • 09:38 stamp: build_info.gd after Alf's 1.0.58 Google Play export (edition google-play-aab, 7e00ad71, 2026-10-18 00:33)
  • 09:38 Merge tutorial/web-ask: the web edition asks the tutorials question at the title like the main game and teaches on yes (levels 1 and 2 in play with the step Skip and the disk-economy grants; the brief tour absent - no brief on web), stays as today on no (backlog 68); the zoom card completes from the wheel, a trackpad pinch, a touch pinch and the native pinch gesture (backlog 69 mechanics); WEB tut-a..d and the teaching legs 12 c / 15 web FAIL before (25 + 16) / PASS after; check_web PASS, check_teaching PASS (53), check_kids PASS, golden credits / structs PASS, touched smoke PASS (15 checks, evasion waived); P48-TU-web proposed, TU-3 / TU-5 / TU-6 / T59 superseded for the yes case
  • 09:37 docs: tutorial-keeper handover - the post-merge check_web re-run PASS (tut-a..d)
  • 09:35 merge main 18731a0d (the HUD batch) into world/eyelevel - check_hunt's V48_ROWS keeps main's brief-check beside eye; the handover carries the hitch attribution and the control
  • 09:35 HUNT eye-b's real-time half reads the eye-level walk against the orbit close-up walk as shipped (the control under the same ticket): the 70-250 ms pure-draw stalls are the renderer's on this Mac (orbit 7 / 18 frames over 40 ms, eye 3) - the view may not add hitches (slack 2, longest within 1.5x); the lane's absolute 40 ms line retired for Alf under PF-2; P48-CAM-eyelevel and the handover carry the measurement
  • 09:34 Merge web/crazygames: the CrazyGames edition (backlog 62) - the CrazyGames preset (Web Store + feature crazygames, thread_support false), their HTML5 SDK v3 in the shell (init before the engine starts, loading start / stop, gameplay start / stop at level start, found, the pause and end cards, around a rewarded transmission), no link out and no login inside their frame (Hall of Records hidden there), the rewarded transmission as the ad surface, publish_web.py --preset CrazyGames --zip (build/find-the-nerd-crazygames.zip, index.html at the root), check_web CG a-g (f REPORTs the size: 263.6 MB against their 250 MB total and the 50 MB initial-download line - Alf's cut), P48-WB-39 proposed; Web preset content unchanged bar the feature branches; check_web PASS, touched smoke PASS (13 checks, evasion waived)
  • 09:34 docs: tutorial-keeper handover - touched smoke PASS (15 checks, evasion waived), main 18731a0d merged clean (no overlap with the question's code)
  • 09:33 docs: the editions-lane handback carries the final verdicts (check_web PASS x3, SMOKE PASS 13/1 waived, the two merges, the final export hashes)
  • 09:33 merge main 18731a0d into story/room-dressing - the HUD batch 18; no story_scene.gd overlap, the room change stands
  • 09:33 Merge branch 'main' into tutorial/web-ask
  • 09:33 Merge branch 'main' into web/crazygames
  • 07:02 docs: the story-room lane handback (backlog 67) - the chairs that went, the desk's numbers, the stills, STORY / EDITOR / SMOKE PASS
  • 06:54 Merge hud/batch-18: level names fit inside the tile's border stroke (ja L9 15 px; the rule also takes ru L9 and kids ru L8 to 18 px - Alf's veto open; backlog 57), the brief's guidance lines gain a green check mark exactly when Intel is received and once every Deploy is spent (backlog 52), the portrait clear-field floor at 720x1280 SET 40% (backlog 60, UI-27 am.); MENU names-fit FAIL-before / PASS-after on 250 titles, HUNT brief-check FAIL-before (12) / PASS-after, check_menu --smoke PASS, check_portrait --smoke PASS, golden brief / brief-port PASS, touched smoke PASS (8 checks)
  • 06:53 docs: hud-lane handover - the merged-tree touched smoke PASS (8 checks); only the brief-frames stills job still queued
  • 05:48 --hitchclock=N,M: the arrival frame clock over any probe (the orbit close-up walk as the eye-level walk's control)
  • 05:35 eye-level warm draws: the frame about to show is drawn hidden (RenderingServer.force_draw, no swap, no main-loop frame) on the entry, each fold and the exit frame, where the lens stands still - the three 71-77 ms first-draw compiles measured mid-descent, mid-walk and on the ascent's first frame (pure draw, proc under 1 ms, no upload; this Mac's cold shader cache) no longer land in the motion; HUNT eye-b's real-time read is the ruling's transition (descent and ascent), the walk and the EYEWARM costs reported
  • 05:29 docs: hud-lane handover - the merged-tree portrait smoke PASS and the golden brief / brief-port PASS (0.9997 / 0.9998)
  • 05:26 docs: hud-lane handover - the merged-tree menu smoke PASS

  • 04:48 merge main 151fc428 into story/room-dressing - the text round (backlog 59); no story_scene.gd overlap, the room change stands
  • 04:44 docs: hud-lane handover - the final touched smoke re-launched after another lane's pattern kill
  • 04:41 crowd-warden handover: the eye-level view's windowed verdicts (eye-a / c / d / e / hud PASS, eye-b's real-time hitch OPEN, the broken variant's 33 FAILs, golden all PASS, flight PASS, evasion's standing waiver, the DAILY leftover and the guarded headless runner, the strips)
  • 04:39 eye-level probe: the arrival cinematic's frame clock runs through the view (phases descend / eye / ascend, HITCH / HITCHSUM, --hitchtrace), SHADOWHAND and CROWDWAKE trace lines under the eye trace - the real-time hitch row's attribution
  • 04:35 docs: hud-lane handover - batch 18 merged with main 151fc428; the final set queued on the merged tree, not yet read
  • 04:34 Merge branch 'main' into hud/batch-18

  • 02:58 docs: hud-lane handover for batch 18 (backlog 52 / 57 / 60 CODED; the post-fix renders queued, not read; main not merged)
  • 02:58 Merge branch 'main' into world/eyelevel
  • 02:56 hud: the brief's guidance lines carry a green check mark once their action is spent (backlog 52); the level-picker tile name fits inside the tile's border stroke (backlog 57)
  • 02:54 Merge text/round-59: the text round (backlog 59) - droids are tapped in the two English lines and 15 locales, French 'tu' throughout (85 csv cells, 44 story lines), the Italian brief title 'Liv. %d: %s', the loading tip replaced by 'the brief shows what the target carries', the ATT sentence row ATT_USAGE_DESCRIPTION in 15 locales (backlog 58), the web zoom card and the How to Play line name the wheel and the pinch (backlog 69 text half); check-i18n PASS (580 rows); touched smoke 9 of 10 PASS, the DAILY row's FAIL is the box profile's saved mid-Daily run (environmental, cleared by the coordinator)
  • 02:53 docs: text round 59 + 58 handover - the tutorial-keeper lane entry, the pending-translations ledger rows, backlog 43 / 58 / 59 / 69 statuses
  • 02:53 i18n: the compiled translations follow the web zoom rows
  • 02:52 text: the web zoom lesson and the web How to Play wheel row name the trackpad / touchscreen pinch beside the mouse wheel, 15 locales (backlog 69, text half)
  • 02:33 web tut-a: --newgame=ask dumps the question's own UIRECT rows two frames after the overlay (frame-rate independent); web-tut-yes 3600 frames (the ping's second card clears by expiry, ~21 s)
  • 02:30 web: the web edition asks the tutorials question and teaches on yes (backlog 68); the zoom card closes from the wheel, a trackpad pinch, a touch pinch and a magnify gesture (69)
  • 02:28 Merge branch 'main' into world/eyelevel
  • 02:24 merge main b281bda6 into story/room-dressing - the playapi tool and its docs; no game file in the merge, the room change stands as committed
  • 02:23 story: the mentors' room loses two back chairs (the one in front of Fulano, the back-wall centre) and the back-left desk fits to desk height (backlog 67)
  • 02:19 Merge branch 'main' into text/round-59
  • 02:15 Merge editions/playapi: play_upload.py - the Google Play Developer API chain (edits.insert, the resumable bundle upload, the native-symbols upload bound to the version code, tracks.update with the release name '<code> (<version>)' and the 17-locale notes parsed from docs/play-notes-<version>-console.txt, validate, commit; --dry-run / --validate-only / --i-know; the service-account JSON under ~/.config/ftn, mode 600, never in the repo; Alf's hand like export_play.py), 26 unit tests, SIGN play-a / play-b armed by the first receipt; export_testflight.py step 2 passes --export-only; P48-BR-playapi proposed; backlog 66 CODED
  • 02:14 Merge branch 'main' into editions/playapi
  • 02:14 docs: SIGN play-a / play-b armed by first use - README-signing's rows and the 355-state runs, README-ops, P48-BR-playapi-b / -d, the lane entry (the one wording deviation named), backlog 66
  • 02:14 SIGN play-a / play-b ARMED BY FIRST USE (the coordinator 2026-10-18): both REPORT in every mode while build/play-uploads.log holds no play_upload.py receipt ("the Play API is not set up yet - play_upload.py's header has Alf's steps"), so a key not yet placed never stops export_play.py's step 4; from the first receipt on, play-a's missing key / wrong mode FAILs under --play, play-b's newest receipt for the package judges - the preset's code committed PASS, the preset's code failed / validated or a higher code FAIL, a lower code "not uploaded yet" REPORT (else every later export's step 4 would stop). The decision is play_upload.gate_rows() + key_file_state(); 5 GateTests for both states (26 tests)
  • 02:09 rules + backlog: the web zoom card names the wheel, the trackpad pinch and the touch pinch (69) - Alf 2026-10-18
  • 02:08 Merge main (eac31688: backlog 67 / 68, the rules log) into editions/playapi - row 66 kept CODED, rows 67 / 68 taken from main

  • 02:04 Merge branch 'main' into world/eyelevel
  • 02:03 play_upload.py: the Google Play Developer API v3 upload - the signed bundle (resumable), the native symbols zip (deobfuscationfiles nativeCode), the per-locale notes (docs/play-notes-<version>-console.txt, 17 tags, 500 chars) on a track with a rollout, validate then commit; --dry-run (every call with its body), --validate-only (then edits.delete), --i-know; the service-account key under ~/.config/ftn (mode 600, presence only), the libraries in build/venv-play (re-exec; the venv + pip commands printed when missing); the ALF RUNS IT guard; the receipt in build/play-uploads.log. check_signing SIGN play-a / play-b (--play; REPORT off it), signing-expect play block, touched_smoke mapping, export_play's NEXT names play_upload.py; tests/test_play_upload.py (21 tests, a fake discovery client, no network) in run_tests.sh (backlog 66)
  • 02:02 export_testflight.py: step 2 passes --export-only to export_ios.py (no Debug xcodebuild of its own - the Release archive is step 3); the header's "no export-only switch" lines corrected; the precondition reads the flag from export_ios.py's argparse like --release
  • 02:02 eye-level blend stretches with the angle between its frames (45 deg reference, up to 2.5x): a pinch out mid-roll turned the up 6.9 deg a frame on a fixed 0.8 s; the usual entry and exit are unchanged
  • 02:00 rules + backlog: the story room's chairs and the back-left desk (67) - Alf 2026-10-18
  • 01:59 eye-level trace seeds its first up-step from the orbit frame at the entry; HUNT eye-b requires a transition to span 6 frames (a 0.02 s blend read as no jump on the broken variant)
  • 01:58 eye-level entry / exit at 1.2 (two wheel notches half a second apart enter; the relax 1.0 /s) - the 1.25 line with a 2.5 /s relax read 1.20-1.23 from two notches
  • 01:57 eye-level trace: the process frame (pf=) on every EYELEVEL / EYEMODE / EYEFOLD line, so the strips are cut at exact movie frames; P48-CAM-eyelevel names EYE_ROLL_WALK
  • 01:56 merge main b6715b00 into world/eyelevel - the backlog keeps rows 63 / 65 / 66 from main with 64 CODED; proposed-v48 keeps P48-CAM-eyelevel before P48-BR-symbols and P48-MZ-att
  • 01:55 docs: P48-CAM-eyelevel proposed (the ruling verbatim, six numbered clauses, every tuned number UNSET-with-value), the crowd-warden handover for the eye-level view, backlog 64 CODED
  • 01:55 Merge editions/att-locales: the iOS App Tracking Transparency sentence per locale - export_ios.py step 3c writes NSUserTrackingUsageDescription into the 15 <locale>.lproj/InfoPlist.strings of the generated Xcode project (zh -> zh-Hans, knownRegions, the variant group), from the csv row ATT_USAGE_DESCRIPTION when it lands (English until then); --release and --export-only for the TestFlight chain; SIGN ios-d; P48-MZ-att proposed; backlog 58 CODED; touched smoke PASS
  • 01:54 docs: the editions-lane handover's verification - the release --export-only run (ios release template stamp, 15 InfoPlist.strings, no xcodebuild), SIGN ios-d PASS on it after the merge of main f8d92537, touched smoke PASS
  • 01:53 check_hunt eye rows: the movies stay on disk as the evidence renders (the strips are cut from them), HUNT eye-hud measures the search HUD from inside the view through the PC-8 / UI-27 judge (1280x720 and 720x1280)
  • 01:52 camera: the eye-level view (backlog 64, P48-CAM-eyelevel) - pinch in past the close-up floor and the lens descends to the crowd's eye height looking across the face; a drag walks the foot, a twist or a two-finger drag turns; a face's edge folds the foot onto the neighbour with the heading carried over and the followed frame rolling under a rate ceiling (the flight code's reference-never-jumps rule), the walk slowing through the roll, the hull clearance keeping the lens outside the world; a pinch out rises back to the orbit floor over the foot (the entry's state verbatim when nothing moved); every orbit field frozen under the view so the never-entered path is byte-identical; taps are the close-up's; --eyelevel / --eyewalk / --eyecross / --eyetap / --eyeexit / --eyehud probe driver and the EYELEVEL trace
  • 01:52 check_hunt: HUNT eye-a..e, the eye-level view's gate rows (backlog 64, P48-CAM-eyelevel): entry at eye height and parallel, the descent and the ascent without an up jump or a cut (plus the real-time hitch read), the edge crossing's continuous roll with the lens never under the surface, the tap on the Nerd and a droid from the view, the pinch out back at the floor and the verbatim restore; main and kids, 1280x720 and 720x1280; --only eye
  • 01:44 rules + backlog: the Google Play Developer API upload tool (66) - Alf 2026-10-18
  • 01:26 merge main f8d92537 into editions/att-locales - check_signing's docstring names SIGN ios-d beside ios-e and sym-a / sym-b; the lane doc keeps the ATT entry above the symbols entry; proposed-v48 keeps P48-BR-symbols and P48-MZ-att
  • 01:26 docs: backlog 58 CODED (c2aa0a24 + 48adc21c) and the editions-lane handover entry for the ATT locales + the --release / --export-only flags; the text lane's ATT_USAGE_DESCRIPTION row landed on text/round-59 ab7bf771 during the run (not on main) and the step was proven against it on a scratch export
  • 01:24 rules: the native-symbols outcome - official Godot symbols, no source build (2026-10-18)
  • 01:23 rules: the symbols ruling's outcome (official Godot symbols, no source build); backlog 65 the check_signing SyntaxWarnings
  • 01:23 Merge editions/symbols: native debug symbols for Play from Godot's OFFICIAL 4.7.1-stable symbols asset (no source build) - godot_symbols.py (fetch / check / write), export_play.py's symbols precondition and the native-debug-symbols-<code>.zip step with the build-id match in verify, SIGN sym-a / sym-b under --play; the 355 bundle's engine lib build-id 5a324c51 matches the official symbols (backlog 63 CODED)
  • 01:22 Merge main (ee67e423, the TestFlight lane) into editions/symbols
  • 01:21 merge main ee67e423 into editions/att-locales - check_signing keeps SIGN ios-d (ATT locales) beside main's SIGN ios-e a-c (TestFlight); proposed-v48 keeps P48-MZ-testflight and P48-MZ-att
  • 01:21 docs: native symbols for Play - the lane handover, README-ops section, P48-BR-symbols proposed, backlog 63 CODED

  • 01:20 export_ios.py: step 3c - the ATT sentence in all 15 locales (backlog 58, Alf 2026-10-17 "We can provide in all languages."), plus --release and --export-only for export_testflight.py (backlog 61)
  • 01:19 check_signing.py: SIGN sym-a / sym-b - the native symbols zip beside the Play bundle (backlog 63); touched_smoke maps godot_symbols.py

  • 01:06 tools: publish_web.py --preset CrazyGames and --zip, check_web.py CG a-g rows, the sibling gates know the preset (backlog 62)
  • 01:02 register: UI-27 am. carries the 720x1280 clear-field floor at 40% (Alf 2026-10-17 "40 percent", backlog 60); the weekly-test map line and the ledger line close on it; brief_probe prints the check mark's unscaled rect
  • 01:01 Merge editions/testflight: export_testflight.py - the App Store Connect / TestFlight chain (Release archive with the org team through an API key in the login Keychain, exportOptions app-store-connect, altool validate + upload, the receipt in build/ios-testflight.log, --dry-run / --archive-only / --verify-only / --i-know, a watchdog); SIGN ios-e a-c under --testflight; P48-MZ-testflight proposed; backlog 61 CODED - waits on Alf's organization enrollment, the app record and the key (and a --release flag in export_ios.py, the att-locales lane)
  • 00:59 merge main 63b4f4c0 into editions/testflight before the handback (backlog row 63 and the project-rules lines; no file this lane touched)
  • 00:59 rules + backlog: the eye-level view (64), native symbols tonight (63); rows 29 and 43 closed
  • 00:59 docs: TestFlight from 355 (backlog 61 CODED b00543b8 + 010a97ed) - P48-MZ-testflight a-d proposed (the one command, the key never in the repo, the .ipa read back, the receipt and the SIGN ios-e rows; four open notes incl. export_ios.py's missing --release), README-signing's ios-e section, the ledger line (ios-e REPORT off --testflight until the enrollment), the editions-lane handover entry
  • 00:58 web: the CrazyGames edition in the game - the CrazyGames preset (Web Store + feature crazygames), the shell initialises the SDK and reports loading, Portal.is_crazygames holds the links and the ad surface, gameplayStart/Stop on the hunt edge (backlog 62, Alf 2026-10-18 "create a crazy games version")
  • 00:57 check_signing SIGN ios-e a-c, the TestFlight rows (backlog 61, proposed P48-MZ-testflight): --testflight judges them, off the flag they REPORT like the Play rows off --play - (a) the iOS preset's team is set and not the personal 7CPPQ6BC96 (signing-expect ios.personal_team); (b) the App Store Connect API key's parts are on the box by presence only: the login-Keychain items ftn-asc-api-key-id and ftn-asc-api-issuer exist (security find-generic-password -s, no -w) and ~/.appstoreconnect/private_keys holds an AuthKey_*.p8 (a count); (c) build/ios-testflight.log carries an upload=ok receipt for the preset's version pair (an archive-only receipt or another pair's is named). touched_smoke maps export_testflight.py to check-signing. Proven: FAIL x5 on main's tree with --testflight, REPORT x5 and PASS without it; PASS x3 on a scratch expect file (an org team, an existing item name, a scratch .p8, an upload=ok line), the archived-only and other-pair receipt shapes FAIL by name

  • 00:53 text: round 59 - droids are tapped (TX-8), French tu throughout, the Italian brief title Liv. %d: %s, the loading tip replaced, the iOS ATT sentence in 15 locales (backlog 59 + 58)
  • 00:52 gates: the names-fit row judges the title against the tile less its border stroke (backlog 57), HUNT brief-check requires the guidance lines' check marks after their actions (backlog 52), the 720x1280 clear-field floor is a 40% FAIL line (backlog 60, UI-27 am.)
  • 00:51 rules + backlog: 1.0.58 (355) uploaded to Google Play 2026-10-18; the console's two warnings explained, native symbols as backlog 63
  • 00:47 docs: the Play Console tagged what's-new block for 1.0.58 (355), 17 locales incl. es-ES and pt-PT
  • 00:44 docs: the Google Play what's-new for 1.0.58 (355) in 15 languages, each under 500 characters, and the release name
  • 00:40 rules + backlog: TestFlight from 355 (61) and a CrazyGames edition (62) - Alf 2026-10-18
  • 00:16 ship: 1.0.58 (355) to beta1 from the Mac mini - the Google Play release: 1.0.57 plus Alf's sitting numbers from the Editor APK (the sofa and the two chairs seat their sitters as he tuned them)

2026-10-17

  • 23:49 perf review addendum 2 (1.0.58 / 355), the CG-21 b waiver for 355, the rule: 355 ships on the 1.0.57 full tier plus the quick checks by Alf's word (2026-10-17 night)
  • 23:38 gear: Alf's sitting numbers from the Editor APK's Sitting bench (2026-10-17) - space-sofa fwd 0.61 up 0.33, scifi-chair-mobile up 0.17, scifi-chair-static fwd 0.62 up 0.12 (yaw 180 unchanged); pulled with pull_gear_edits.py from the Samsung's gear-chair-sit journal
  • 23:37 waivers: CG-21 b waived by name for 1.0.57 (354) - the staged-pose hand rows stay at their defaults, the debt stays on the ledger (Alf 2026-10-17)
  • 23:01 rules + register + backlog: Alf's second late-evening round - kids ad ids stay wired behind the switch, clear field 40% at 720x1280 (60), the text round (59), HM-7 clause 7 confirmed
  • 22:45 rules + backlog: Alf's late-evening answers - kids Play later with its own ad ids, ja L9 at 15 px inside the border (57), Android X stays, the ATT sentence in 15 locales (58)
  • 20:37 ship: 1.0.57 (354) to beta1 from the Mac mini - the Google Play candidate: 1.0.56 plus Alf's afternoon answers - the long Russian / Japanese level names fit their tiles, the shuttle lifts straight up off the level-1 hangar, the rift pan no longer stutters
  • 20:32 perf review 2026-10-17: the 1.0.57 (354) addendum - the rift pan / dip resolved on the box proxy (pan 150 -> 18 ms), the landing's hologram cost named, the lift-off and names-fit without a frame-time effect
  • 18:59 backlog: 44 merged for 1.0.57 (the pan fixed); 55 the holograms' static wash at landing; 56 the hand-over 'flip' phase so RIFT c can gate the 100 ms phases
  • 18:59 Merge world/rift-cull: the crowd bodies stay out of the cinematic camera through the rift arrival's pan and dip (Character.RENDER_LAYER, the lens's cull bit cleared at the pan mark and restored at the landing mark; backlog 44 option B) - the pan frame drops from 141-166 ms to 18-20 ms on seeds 7 / 2 / 3, dip the same; the crowd's first draw now lands in the hand-over frame under the dip's black; seed 7's landing burst is the holograms' static wash, a separate item; RIFT PASS, goldens PASS (arrival 0.9773), touched smoke PASS (11 checks, evasion waived); frames 0 pixels different at 1280x720
  • 18:57 lane handover: crowd-warden - backlog 44 option b built and measured (the pan and dip clean, the landing's cost named)
  • 18:06 backlog: 48 merged for 1.0.57 (names-fit option B); the ja L9 border question for Alf
  • 18:06 Merge hud/names-fit: a level name wider than its 224 px tile steps its type down to fit (19 -> 17 px ru L1, 19 -> 16 px ja L9, floor 14 px, elided below it; backlog 48 option B, TX-14 amended); MENU names-fit FAIL before / PASS after on 250 titles; PORT pause gains the 320 px text floor (UI-72 c SET) and gates the kids strip's story order (UI-32 am.); check_menu --smoke PASS, touched smoke PASS (7 checks)
  • 18:05 hud lane handover: backlog 48 option B (the level name shrinks to fit), the 320 px pause text floor, the kids strip in story order - what, why, the FAIL / PASS proofs and the row lines (docs/lanes/hud-lane.md)
  • 18:04 merge main 3b4b1bdf into hud/names-fit - ea82e9ce's iOS build_info stamp and the world lane's level-1 lift-off (backlog 51: game_state.gd, poly_world.gd, widgets.md, check_flight.py, docs); the register, the weekly-test map and the ledger merged clean beside this lane's lines; after this lane's final runs - no file the menu or portrait gates read
  • 17:44 backlog: 51 merged for 1.0.57 (the level-1 lift-off)
  • 17:44 Merge world/hangar-lift: the level-1 lift-off - a pickup flight that finds the ship at its home rest first rises 1.0 u straight along the face's up (0.8 s, attitude held) and only then launches (backlog 51, P48-WP-l1lift proposed); FLIGHT l1-lift row on six level-1 legs (main and kids, seeds 1-3): FAIL before (drift 0.45 u, lean 46 deg) / PASS after (lat 0.000, tilt 0.0, rise 0.93 u in 20 frames); RIFT b PASS on 14 runs, lv1 goldens PASS (1.0000 / 0.9985 / 0.9970), touched smoke PASS (11 checks, evasion waived)
  • 17:43 Merge branch 'main' into world/hangar-lift
  • 17:42 docs: the level-1 lift-off handover and P48-WP-l1lift (backlog 51) - the lane entry at the top of docs/lanes/crowd-warden.md (the lift, the probe and row, the FAIL-before / PASS-after lines, RIFT b, the lv1 goldens, the frame strips, the touched smoke after the main merge, the open numbers) and the proposed requirement with its test row and measured line in reports/requirements/proposed-v48.md - propose only, nothing folded into accepted.md
  • 17:02 Merge branch 'main' into world/rift-cull
  • 15:55 stamp: build_info.gd after the 1.0.56 iOS export (edition ios, 378539f9) - the iPhone install receipt is in build/ios-installs.log
  • 15:53 Merge branch 'main' into world/hangar-lift
  • 15:08 merge main 378539f9 (the 1.0.56 ship) into hud/names-fit - clean, no shared file
  • 15:04 Merge branch 'main' into world/rift-cull
  • 15:02 title_screen level picker (backlog 48 option B, TX-14 am.; Alf 2026-10-17 "1. Option b"): a level name wider than its 224 px tile shrinks its type one px at a time to fit, no further than needed, floor fs(11) = 14 px - ru "L1 · Посадочная решётка" 19 -> 17 px (215), ja "L9 · アレイ・オーバードライブ" 19 -> 16 px (223), main and kids; every name that fits keeps 19 px. The name sits in its own box the tile's width (a negative-margin MarginContainer under the 10 px pad) so a wide name is centred on the tile instead of growing the pad and spilling over the right border; clip_text keeps the box from growing and a name still wider than the tile at the floor is elided with "...". The base and floor ride on the label as meta for tap_probe's TILENAME. MENU names-fit: 250 titles PASS (ar/de/en/ja/ru, main + kids)
  • 14:58 ship: 1.0.56 (353) to beta1 from the Mac mini - the Google Play release candidate on the full tier: the fixed level-1 hangar, the beam waits for the ship, the training sim gone, lesson cards after a late celebration, the huddle timer on game time, How to Play keeps its place across a turn, every string in 15 languages
  • 14:57 rules: site and page work belongs to Alf's website agent; the Mac only lands the publish's payload files (Alf 2026-10-17)
  • 14:57 ship: the level-1 lift-off (backlog 51, Alf 2026-10-17 "Yes add a short straight lift") - a pickup flight that finds the shuttle AT its home rest over the fixed hangar first rises straight up along the face's up, attitude held, by ship.home_sink_lift (1.0 u, the landing's sink mirrored) over ship.home_lift_secs (new widgets.md row, 0.8 s), then plans its launch from up there; a flight from anywhere else launches as before. The rest pose, its 0.63 u clearance, the spot and the arrival's sink are untouched. game_state reads PolyWorld.launch_lift_secs right after the call and moves the flyby whoosh and the beam's clock by it, so the beam keeps its 0.2 s lead on the approach's end (HM-33 e) and the pickup queue waits the lift out
  • 14:54 check-flight: the level-1 lift-off row and its probe (backlog 51, P48-WP-l1lift) - FLIGHT l1-lift reads a --rifttrace DEPART sampler over the first 45 frames of a pickup departure on a home world (rise along the face's up, drift across it, the attitude off the parked pose, rest_off at the start) on six new legs, main and kids seeds 1-3 with the catch at 12 s over the resting ship; PolyWorld gains home_rest_local / home_up_local. Probe and row only - the lift itself is the next commit, so this commit is the row's FAIL-before
  • 14:53 check_portrait PORT pause: the 320 px portrait text floor (UI-72 c am., Alf 2026-10-17 "Agree" - the UNSET 400 target named; FAIL under it, the floor and the lowest card in the PASS line) and the kids strip held to STORY order B0-T, B1-T, B2-T (UI-32 am., "Story order" - a FAIL now, not an open report); the register (TX-14 am. option B, UI-72 c, UI-32 am. wording), the weekly-test map and the ledger's closed line
  • 14:52 rift arrival: the crowd stays out of the cinematic lens through the pan and the dip (backlog 44, option b)
  • 14:50 check_menu names-fit (TX-14 am., backlog 48 option B): the row judges the title at its DRAWN size - PASS when it fits the tile after a shrink, FAIL when it does not fit even at the floor (or was shrunk further than needed, or although it fit), and the PASS line reports which titles shrank and to what; tap_probe's TILENAME carries base_fs / floor_fs / up_w from the tile's fit meta (-1 on code without it) and reads the tile's OUTERMOST pad
  • 14:38 rules + backlog: Alf's 2026-10-17 afternoon answers - hangar (rest and spot stay, a short straight lift), backlog 48 option B, kids strip in story order, the 320 px pause text floor, rift option B, the brief tips' check marks, routines only on change, edition-scoped releases, no websites trigger while Alf works in that repo (rows 51-54)
  • 14:35 perf review 2026-10-17: the OP-25 performance review of the 1.0.56 (353) Google Play release candidate - read-only from the day's logs (W10 443 MB, PF-5 1.46 ms daily-equivalent, PF-7 rift_open 27.6 ms max on the re-run, pan / dip / landing NOT MET report-only per the register, PF-2 / PF-5 device rows not re-measured); force-added, reports/* is ignored and the earlier reviews were never tracked
  • 14:26 golden corpus: seven shots deliberately re-blessed for 1.0.56 - lv1 / lv1-port / lv1-port-kids carry the fixed level-1 hangar (WP-47), brief / brief-port carry the German Situation tips the release translator pass added (the old baselines still showed the English lines), lv6 / lv8 differ in crowd placement only (backlog 50)
  • 14:24 backlog: 50 - the lv6 / lv8 goldens hover at the floor from crowd placement alone
  • 11:55 backlog: 44 diagnosed (the crowd's first draws in the cinematic camera), two options for Alf
  • 11:55 Merge world/rift-rewarm: backlog 44 diagnosed, not fixed - the rift pan hitch is the crowd's first draws in the cinematic camera (GPU skinning + shader variant compiles under GL Compatibility, ~160 ms on three seeds; hiding the bodies removes it); three fixes tried and reverted; RIFT c stays REPORT (LATE_PHASES_GATED false); two options for Alf in docs/lanes/crowd-warden.md
  • 11:55 crowd-warden handback: the pan hitch's cause found (the crowd's first draws in the cinematic lens), not fixed (backlog 44)
  • 11:52 backlog: 46 and 47 merged for 1.0.56 (the HUD lane's portrait fixes)
  • 11:52 Merge hud/portrait-fixes: How to Play keeps the reader's line across a turn (backlog 46, PC-15); the Hall of Records mode tabs, the Licenses heading and the Time Sync slot buttons keep their landscape size in portrait (backlog 47, PC-9) - PORT shell / rot-pages PASS, check_portrait --smoke and check_menu --smoke PASS, touched smoke PASS (8 checks) at the merged tip, landscape identity 25 of 26 screens byte-identical (the Daily board frame is network timing)
  • 11:51 docs: hud-lane handover - backlog 46 / 47 (the How to Play place across a turn, the ru tabs, the ar Licenses heading, the Time Sync slot widths)
  • 11:10 Merge main 92bae049 into hud/portrait-fixes (the world lane's huddle-time, backlog 49, the in-game privacy policy update)
  • 10:49 howto: the carried place is the notes LINE, not a pixel offset (PC-15, backlog 46)
  • 10:37 privacy: the in-game policy follows the live page (updated 16 October 2026 - the device fields the telemetry session event carries; ballot 37)
  • 10:37 backlog: 49 - headless routines die on the usage limit (the nightly and the weekly driver, 2026-10-17); re-queue after the reset time
  • 10:33 Merge world/huddle-time: the Hard target leaves its huddle only by its NERD_MINGLE timer - the huddle churn and the rotation release skip it while the timer is armed (WP-43); the huddle-clock row requires the timer exit and names any other cause; check_crowd PASS, check_evasion unchanged (l3-hard waived)
  • 10:32 docs: huddle-clock handover and P48-WP-mingle carry the coordinator's two decisions and the guard's proofs
  • 10:30 Time Sync: portrait slot buttons keep the landscape column width (PC-9)
  • 10:30 settings: the portrait sub-page heading clears the corner X's actual height (PC-9, backlog 47)
  • 10:30 Hall of Records: the mode tabs keep their landscape size in portrait (PC-9, backlog 47)
  • 10:30 howto: a turn keeps the How to Play reader's place (PC-15, backlog 46)
  • 10:09 check-crowd huddle-clock row: the target's early exit FAILs; the static half checks both pickers' skip
  • 10:06 world: the huddle churn and the rotation release skip the Hard target while its mingle timer is armed (WP-43)
  • 10:04 backlog: 46-48 - the three real findings the portrait and menu rows caught
  • 10:04 touched-smoke: the portrait / menu gate mappings; check-portrait and check-menu run their --smoke subsets in the ship-it build
  • 10:04 Merge hud/gates-a: check_portrait.py (W-port: PORT shell / rot-shell / rot-pages / howto / credits / ends / pause / rot-pause / landscape-identity) and the v48 check_menu rows (tap-a..e, cat-sheet, cat-droids, archives-2line, tabs-rows, port-a/b, textscale, pause-music, names-fit), the probe kit additions (the v48 test round, part 4). Three rows FAIL on main on real findings (PC-15 scroll on rotation, PC-9 ru tabs / ar heading, TX-14 ru / ja level names) - fixes in flight
  • 10:02 Merge branch 'main' into hud/gates-a
  • 10:02 Merge main 3a43dfbd into world/huddle-time
  • 10:01 docs: the v48 gate rows - weekly-test.md's map lines (check_menu / check_portrait BUILT, UI-72 c BUILT) and the hud-lane handback (gates worker A)
  • 10:00 docs: the huddle-clock handover (crowd-warden) and P48-WP-mingle - the WP-43 am. test text
  • 09:54 backlog: 43 gains the Italian brief title note
  • 09:54 Merge text/brief-fit: the Russian portrait brief fits again (shorter ru tips, droid lines and title; es / id / tr / vi tips tightened) - HUNT brief-port PASS in every locale at 720x1280
  • 09:22 check_menu.py: MENU textscale's story run outlasts the level-1 landing (480 frames)
  • 08:55 touched-smoke: the world / tutorial gate mappings (rift, story, teaching, watch_probe, textures); ledger: PF-7 late phases REPORT after the hangar; backlog 44 (the pan hitch is back), 45 (STORYFACE probe line)
  • 08:55 Merge gates/world-tutorial: RIFT b (the fixed hangar) and RIFT c (PF-7 budget), STORY port / ceil (+ STORY face stub), check_teaching legs 12 d and 13 c + --legs, KIDS cards / zuly / howto-lang, watch_probe.gd (the v48 test round, part 3)
  • 08:53 docs: the world + tutorial gate rows - weekly-test.md's v48 map lines, the crowd-warden and tutorial-keeper handovers
  • 08:53 Merge main (d716f3a4: hud/gates-b's check_hunt rows, touched-smoke mappings, ledger lines) into gates/world-tutorial
  • 08:51 i18n: the portrait brief fits again in Russian - shorter Situation lines and title (PC-16)
  • 08:34 touched-smoke: brief_probe.gd / tap_probe.gd / purchases.gd map to check-hunt (the mapping the previous commit's message named)
  • 08:33 touched-smoke: brief_probe / tap_probe / purchases.gd map to check-hunt; ledger lines from the gates B round
  • 08:33 Merge hud/gates-b: the v48 check_hunt rows - HUNT x-press, brief-pulse, brief-port, brief-rot, brief-tips, stepskip, the PC-8 / UI-27 configs on window-only overrides, step-port, inset; brief_probe.gd (the v48 test round, part 2). The brief-port row FAILs on main for the Russian portrait brief (a true regression from the translation pass - fix in flight)
  • 08:31 docs: gates B handback - the v48 check_hunt rows built (hud-lane.md entry; weekly-test.md's v48 map, check_hunt line)
  • 08:21 check-crowd huddle-clock row judges the timer itself; the target's exit is reported with its cause
  • 08:16 Merge branch 'main' into hud/gates-a
  • 08:16 check_portrait.py: PORT ends judges the fullest level-clear pile; the soft-scroll hint glyph is reported
  • 08:16 portrait kit: the ends dump measures the drawn glyphs, not line boxes (PC-17)
  • 08:14 Merge main 5a312cec into world/huddle-time
  • 08:14 Merge main (5a312cec: hud/lesson-drop with W14 leg 15, the translator pass) into gates/world-tutorial
  • 08:13 Merge branch 'main' into hud/gates-b (main 5a312cec: the lesson-drop fix, the l1 command center, the translator pass)
  • 06:39 backlog: 33 and 34 fixed by the translation rows; 43 - the translator's text follow-ups for Alf
  • 06:39 Merge text/translations-release: the full-build translator pass - every pending row since 2026-10-13 in 15 locales (Text size, the lessons, the brief lines, the TX keys gate's rows, the Bay notes in 14 siblings), the training-sim text and 24 orphan rows removed, bundles regenerated
  • 06:39 backlog: 35 merged for 1.0.56
  • 06:39 Merge hud/lesson-drop: lesson cards survive a late celebration effect (only live, unswept celebration nodes count as an end card; W14 leg 15); the retired 'Wrong Nerd!' call removed (backlog 35)
  • 06:38 Merge main bb85f0f3 into hud/lesson-drop (the world lane's level-1 command center; docs)
  • 06:38 docs: hud-lane handback - backlog 35 (a late celebration dropped the next level's lesson cards) and the retired "Wrong Nerd!" call
  • 06:11 check_rift: RIFT b (WP-47) built for real - the fixed level-1 hangar on seven seeds, main and kids
  • 06:07 Merge main (bb85f0f3: world/l1-command-center merged add526e4 - the fixed level-1 hangar) into gates/world-tutorial
  • 06:07 requirements: WP-47 MET (the fixed hangar), its RIFT b test location; HM-7 clause 7 amended to the command-center building (pending Alf)
  • 06:05 backlog: 32 merged for 1.0.56; 42 - the pickup hover under the command tower (l1cc lane finding)
  • 06:05 Merge world/l1-command-center: level 1's command center is one fixed hangar in both editions, rest height clear of its top; the crossing's reference up no longer jumps (Alf's 2026-10-17 03:15 ruling, WP-47 am.)
  • 06:03 lanes: crowd-warden handback 2026-10-17 - level 1's fixed command center (backlog 32, P48-WP-l1cc) and the crossing SLIP it exposed
  • 05:21 check_teaching: leg 12 d's findings name one or two staged bars in the right number
  • 05:25 check-crowd: the "target huddle clock" row (WP-43 am.) - static + the 30 s brief-hold probe; touched-smoke maps the tick
  • 05:21 check_kids: settings.cfg.bak joins the byte-for-byte guard - the KIDS howto-lang --lang runs' saves rotate it
  • 02:56 world: the Hard target's huddle timer runs on game time, not the wall clock (backlog 29)
  • 04:35 check_hunt: the v48 rows under OP-34 (main 28640aea) - no probe quits before --quit-after, probelib's own --always-on-top, a short render is a FAIL line; the kids lessontest step-port run waits for its droid card
  • 04:33 Merge branch 'main' into hud/gates-b (main c8fc62f2: the editions lane's v48 gate round, the polite render lock, OP-34)
  • 04:32 check_hunt: the v48 HUD rows - HUNT x-press, brief-pulse, brief-port, brief-rot, brief-tips, stepskip, inset; the PC-8 / UI-27 block's 720x1280 / web / ru and step-port configs (gates B)
  • 04:10 check_menu.py: the v48 rows - MENU tap-a..d, tap-e, cat-sheet, cat-droids, archives-2line, tabs-rows, port-a / port-b, names-fit, textscale, pause-music
  • 04:10 check_portrait.py: W-port, portrait everywhere - PORT shell / rot-shell / howto / credits / rot-pages / ends / pause / rot-pause, PORT landscape-identity on demand (the v48 fold)
  • 04:10 portrait kit: the probe additions the v48 gate rows stand on (hud lane, gates worker A)
  • 04:03 check_kids: KIDS cards (KD-22 am. layout), KIDS zuly (KD-30), KIDS howto-lang (TX-1 am.)
  • 04:03 check_teaching: leg 12 d (TU-15 am., the staged bars after a sticky Skip) and leg 13 c (UI-70, the portrait tour card); --legs
  • 04:03 check_story: STORY port (PC-14), STORY ceil (SP-25) through tools/mac/watch_probe.gd, STORY face (SP-26) a stub
  • 04:02 check_rift: RIFT c (PF-7) - the arrival's hitch budget in real time; RIFT b (WP-47) a documented stub
  • 03:59 i18n: the brief tips name their button plainly in de, vi and id
  • 03:57 i18n: the compiled translations follow the release pass's csv
  • 03:55 i18n: rows for the script-set texts the key gate cannot see - the shadow switches and the brief's DEPLOY caption (TX-1, TX-15)
  • 03:54 i18n: prune 24 orphaned droid rows - the old FRIENDLY / HINT brief lines and the catch-him rows (TX-8)
  • 03:53 i18n: the training sim's text goes with the sim - five csv rows, tutorial.md and its 14 siblings (TU-16, ruling 60)
  • 03:52 i18n: source hashes current for levels.md, loading.md and dialogs.md (TX-14)
  • 03:51 story: the Field Catalog Bay notes in 14 siblings - B2-T and B3-T translated, B0-T and B1-T say it and tap (TX-8)
  • 03:50 i18n: release pass - the open CSV rows in 15 locales (TX-1, TX-15)
  • 03:47 Merge main c8fc62f2 into hud/lesson-drop (the editions gates: TX keys, golden pause shots, W-port; docs)
  • 03:47 hud: drop the retired "Wrong Nerd!" penalty-title call and its argument
  • 03:45 P48-WP-l1cc: framed as WP-47's detail and test now that WP-47 is accepted (v48 fold part 2); the row may live in check_rift RIFT b; departure mesh minimum 1.93
  • 03:45 level 1 command center: two comments said the lane glide went THROUGH the medical bay - it crossed the bay's box
  • 03:45 flight: the crossing's reference up never jumps - the dead-zone hold closes at ATTITUDE_RATE_MAX (check-flight SLIP, voyage s19 seg 1)
  • 02:43 P48-WP-l1cc proposed: level 1's command center is one fixed hangar in both editions, its top under the shuttle's belly at the landing hover (by the hull margin) and at rest; the FLIGHT l1-cc row (supersedes the ballot's RIFT b test for WP-47)
  • 02:30 level 1 command center: one fixed hangar in both editions, never taller than the shuttle flies (Alf 2026-10-17, backlog 32)
  • 03:41 tools: no PowerShell fallback in rebuild.py (OP-29; AUTO mac-a), the retired deploy_leaderboard test section removed (32 passed); backlog 41 - the ship-report artifact for AUTO sites

  • 23:26 probe: --wrongtap picks a plain bystander, never a mentor, hologram or crowd droid
  • 23:23 hunt: the four tiers in play - wrong taps cost clock on Hard, marks decay and the target swaps gear on Impossible
  • 23:14 settings: four difficulty tiers - IMPOSSIBLE joins the enum, every tier table grows a fourth column
  • 23:12 requirements: proposed-v45, the four-tier difficulty rebalance (16 rows, 7 tensions) and its ledger lines
  • 22:49 rules: the four-tier difficulty rebalance and its two constraints (Alf 2026-09-26)

  • 16:19 teach: the Level-1 droid guide and the web/kids ability run
  • 16:12 Merge editions task A: the economy batch (game_state.gd hunks resolved: both probe flags, the promote line above the web ending, the toast plus the before/after award line, the promote function without the stale ending comment)

  • 15:35 perf(crowd): cap The Block (L4) at 20 bodies a face (238 -> 120)
  • 15:34 editions/web: no site link after the credits, the privacy policy bundled into every build, the web ending on the frozen last level
  • 15:32 requirements: proposed-v44 - the 2026-09-26 web/kids batch (10 new IDs, 7 amendments, three tensions)

  • 06:33 bump: 1.0.26 (code 323) - the first Editor APK
  • 06:27 build-stamp: three tries on the build_info.gd write (a just-exited child leaves the file mapped for a moment - the kids export failed three times on it)

  • 03:30 bump: 1.0.25 (code 322) - the kids test build, rebuilt (the 321 bump had landed on the keeper's dropped branch; cherry-picked back)
  • 04:49 Merge the HUD lane: the kids HUD pass (both pending-translation rows kept)
  • 04:30 hud/kids: floppies wording, lit-ping price tag, freeze tag, brief difficulty, boosts
  • 04:28 kids presets: the launcher icon keys (the perl pass missed them)
  • 04:28 check-signing: the PC-8 block rewritten (a sed had eaten its backslashes and flattened the branches - it passed without checking); kids: a launcher icon set from the kids title painting on both Kids presets (KIDS k); CLAUDE.md typo
  • 04:26 Merge the test-writer: check-kids and the v43 rows (both hud.gd hint-panel lines kept)
  • 04:25 tests: the proposed-v43 rows - check-kids (KIDS a..m), BR-31 in check-signing, ED-20 in check-menu, OP-26 in check-automation

  • 03:28 Merge the editions lane: the kids re-spec and the Editor APK (rules-log rows from both sides kept; ship ritual step 7 names the editor package)

2026-09-24

  • 14:26 hud: near-opaque outline on the level-name flourish for contrast over bright terrain

  • 00:05 bump: 1.0.23 (code 320)
  • 00:05 rotation only while hunting, the ship attitude ceiling 2.5, the walk-share floor 40, and the hud.gd continuation fixed (Alf 2026-09-20 evening rulings)

2026-09-20

  • 23:49 docs: handover addendum, the test rows and the ballot
  • 23:49 hud: the bar fit consults BAR_ABBREV when a name still overflows at the floor (the 2026-09-20 edit declared the table and never read it - UI-26 check-menu caught it)
  • 23:47 tests: the 2026-09-20 fold's 22 accepted IDs get rows, plus two new checks
  • 23:11 requirements: the 2026-09-20 ballot (77 decisions, phone-sized) and the test spec for the 22 IDs accepted on 09-20

  • 12:06 Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a0200a91aec93512f'
  • 12:05 editor: the portrait frame holds the body (UI-51), and the lie joins the one layer list (ED-7.3 / ED-11)
  • 11:57 belt + rift: the S3 sun cools with the ambient and the floor drops to x0.84 (the verifier read neutral, not cool: the sun carried the light); the rift rides at 0.20 rad, off the L1 portrait, still under the HUD band
  • 11:35 ledger: close the T64 mirror row (verified in code; the re-fit half stays in v41)
  • 11:34 handover 09-21, the inline items: the Belt ambient cooled and its ground 12 percent darker, portrait rotation unlocked, the web ending is the crawl and the credits, the rift parks under the HUD band, per-locale bottom-bar short forms
  • 02:48 ledger: close five stale rows; handover: the code work from the batch
  • 02:48 requirements: fold Alf's 2026-09-20 ruling batch, register 264 -> 286
  • 02:35 docs: correct the Built-is-not-Shipped rule - three is the complete set
  • 02:35 requirements: v42 records the rebuild, and the gap it exposed in my own dashboard
  • 02:31 docs: rules log - Built is not Shipped (Alf 2026-09-20)
  • 02:31 agents: journal-writer never converts Built to Shipped
  • 02:27 requirements: NW-8 moves to v42, and the contamination is measured
  • 02:27 weekly: W1b fails when the journal index drifts from entries
  • 02:19 telemetry: dev runs stop writing to the production record
  • 02:13 agents: journal-writer keeps INDEX.md complete
  • 01:57 docs: the telemetry dashboard, and which of the three secrets it uses

  • 08:56 docs: handover addendum for 317 and 318
  • 08:24 bump: 1.0.21 (code 318)
  • 08:24 ads: one loaded ad per placement, a ten-second wait for a load, and a failed transmission frees its button (Alf 2026-09-16: "I need each ad to activate their respective ad rewards independently")
  • 02:06 release: 1.0.20 (code 317, the FULL BUILD) on beta1 and beta1/web - the web prices, the two-card summary, the level 2 lessons for returning players
  • 01:47 golden: re-bless brief on the 317 full build (the brief rework Alf ordered 2026-09-15: objective, streak and threat lines out, the lineup back, the shorter environment view)
  • 00:45 story: Alf's ARBEE bleeps (found in the tree 2026-09-16, kept verbatim; siblings queued)
  • 00:43 Merge branch 'worktree-agent-af1cc4c45f0e529b9'
  • 00:42 teaching: Tutorials on re-arms the Survey, Prism and hologram lessons too (Alf 2026-09-15, no Level 2 cards on his phone)
  • 00:41 bump: 1.0.20 (code 317)
  • 00:11 docs: the 2026-09-16 handover addendum (Fable at 97 percent)

2026-09-15

  • 08:39 Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a7423a9a3a1f3cc05'

  • 03:59 bump: 1.0.18 (code 315)
  • 03:59 golden: re-bless lv1, lv3-lv8, brief, credits and structs on the 314 full build (Alf 2026-09-15 "accept a re-bless"; render-verifier read all ten - credits after the Skip/ID-card fix); the ledger closes both brief lines
  • 03:57 credits: the Skip moves top-right and the ID card rides higher with a nine-line bio - the bigger type had pushed a role label into the button and a bio off the frame (golden credits trip, the 314 full build; render-verifier UI-1); golden-frames: a Godot exit note no longer joins the frame path (the arrival "System.Object[]" trip)
  • 02:30 i18n: the leftover story siblings - How to Play's four ABILITY sections and PRO MOVE, the 18-step tutorial lines, the b0-t bio in fourteen locales (translator, check-i18n PASS strict)
  • 01:51 i18n: the full-build translation pass - the Kids strings, Deploy, the leaderboard refusals, INTEL, WREN's line in fourteen siblings, the four hologram tells (translator, check-i18n PASS 507 rows x 15)
  • 01:41 reports: proposed-v40 (the 09-14/09-15 rulings, T71 closed, UI-26 amendments); the ledger closes the transmission reward at 10 (the Opus performance review stays local at reports/perf-review-2026-09-15.md)
  • 01:18 bump: 1.0.17 (code 314) - the full build
  • 01:18 golden: the brief target renders the brief (no --seed, which _show_briefing refuses; --jump=3 like the layout probes) - ledger 2026-09-07, Prompt F
  • 01:16 hologram: a tapped fake says its static and plays it - Bzzt!, BZZRRT!, KZZZT! or Bzzzz... (Alf 2026-09-15, T71 ruled)
  • 01:10 release: 1.0.16 (code 313) on the phone, beta1 and beta1/web - the new Nerd Rift, the always-seated ability bar, the disk counter and Skip under the score
  • 00:43 bump: 1.0.16 (code 313)
  • 00:43 hud: every ability button always seated (greyed at zero on mobile, priced on the web), the disk counter under the score and the X, the Skip under them (Alf 2026-09-15)
  • 00:38 audio: the new Nerd Rift (V6 Neon) - three leveled layers in place of the quiet, clipping sines (Alf 2026-09-14, the music project's pick)
  • 00:37 release: 1.0.15 (code 312) on beta1 and beta1/web - the web round, a third less crowd

  • 23:48 Merge branch 'worktree-agent-adeae5ce687c479bb'
  • 23:47 hud: the bar label fits the button's real margins, and the crossing drops the X too
  • 23:38 crowd: a third less people and holograms on every board, one global factor (Alf 2026-09-14: "too crowded ... interfering with the playability on the web version. Woukd be good for all versions")
  • 23:12 web: the transmission pays a flat ten disks, an intel purchase, a wider summary card, the chrome leaves for the crossing, a +100 for every droid (Alf 2026-09-14, web round)
  • 19:26 release: 1.0.14 (code 311) on the phone, beta1 and beta1/web - the type scale, the web tutorial skip, the camera stop
  • 18:39 hud: the field-lesson card never eats a tap (the bigger type reached the screen centre and the mark acts stalled - W14 leg 1 on 310)
  • 18:37 camera: a wall stops the lens dead - the flick dies on contact and the solidity net holds its exact push (Alf 2026-09-14: "When you back into a structure or zoom into it, it should stop you, not glitch")
  • 18:26 ui: bigger type everywhere through one rule (UiFx.fs), and the tutorial is skippable on the web (Alf 2026-09-14)
  • 16:55 release: 1.0.12 (code 309) on the phone, beta1 and beta1/web - the build stamp of the shipped APK; every edition gets its own stamp sidecar
  • 16:39 requirements: proposed-v39 - the 1.0.10 device round (SP-23 one tap one line, UI-48 the brief architecture, UI-49 the game-over card, UI-50 the X on the tap, SC-8 stars on the summary, NW-6/NW-7 leaderboard names, BR-30 web required structures; HM-2/HM-7/HM-19/TU-7/8/9/UI-33/UI-35/WB-6 amendments; T71 the hologram's silence)
  • 16:19 version: 1.0.12 (code 309) - the invisible-Nerd fix rides with the device round; rebuild.ps1 no longer trips over its own -Preset parameter
  • 16:18 Merge branch 'fix/mentor-cone-no-body'
  • 16:17 version: 1.0.11 (code 308) - Alf's device round, the web turret fix, the level 2 lessons
  • 16:16 fix: the crossing hide takes the world being LEFT, not the one flown to - every level after the first was hunted with an invisible Nerd (Alf on 1.0.10 L2: "Alpha wasn't there, it showed me a cone with no one in it")
  • 16:15 Merge branch 'worktree-agent-ae694009298558d5c'
  • 16:15 web: level 2 needs the turret it required - the three turret models leave the diet's exclude list (Alf: "Web version got stuck after level 1")
  • 16:15 feedback: Alf's 1.0.10 device round - the brief rebuilt around a Deploy box and a full supplies strip, one tap one line in the cut scenes, the X on the tap, the ship parked along the hangar, the game-over card, the Settings grid, the card spacing, the centred portrait, the stars on the summary
  • 16:11 teaching: Level 2 teaches Prism and Survey, Level 1 Sonar and Time (Alf 2026-09-14, device 1.0.10)
  • 16:10 signing: the kids alias findthenerdkids is on record - check-signing verifies the kids Play artifact against its fingerprint (BR-29 b, proposed)
  • 15:17 kids: the mechanics Alf ruled - points-only droids, one Super Find from its ad, Hint as the reveal, no wrong-mark count, a one-button HUD (behind Portal.is_kids(); the main game unchanged)
  • 14:57 requirements: proposed-v38 - the kids edition (KD-1 to KD-7: no-ability droids, Super Find capacity one, Hint = intel, wrong mark costs nothing, the kids units, the Families posture, the kids app id at export); T70 against HM-14; three open points for Alf
  • 14:52 kids: the build path - rebuild.ps1 -Preset Kids, publish-apk.ps1 -Kids, the Kids Play AAB preset (Prompt C, Alf 2026-09-14)
  • 14:52 ads: the flip gate, the kids AdMob app and its three units, the Families request configuration behind Portal.is_kids() (Prompt B, Alf 2026-09-14)
  • 14:52 build: version identity by configuration (Prompt A, accepted by Alf 2026-09-14) - the presets tracked, one version source, one stamp for every export, shown and sent
  • 14:48 release: 1.0.10 (code 307) to the phone - the build stamp and the story bundle of the shipped APK
  • 14:38 docs: the engineering handover as the business session finished it tonight - Prompt A accepted, the kids AdMob app and its three units, the kids mechanics Alf ruled, the ftn-groom ruling

  • 14:36 story: the eight English slips in the bridge talks and the ending (handover prompt E) - Let's, an old note, the rifts opened, the stray dot, Cosmo put his helmet back on
  • 14:25 title: Time Sync and Hall of Records titles clear their content (UI audit 2026-09-14, UI-1)
  • 14:16 docs: engineering handover from the business session, 2026-09-14 - prompts A to F (version identity, the ad flip and the Kids posture, the Kids build path, branch and worktree hygiene, the dialog typos, the golden re-bless)
  • 14:16 title: the practice chapter column clears the header (UI audit 2026-09-14, UI-1)
  • 14:04 requirements: proposed-v37 - the 2026-09-14 afternoon asks (SP-22 fluid arrival, UI-47 the brief fits, OP-23 capped waiters, OP-24 branch hygiene, BR-28 version identity, BR-29 kids lanes; T69 portrait play vs UI-27)
  • 13:55 release: 1.0.9 (code 306) on beta1 and the phone - the build stamp of the shipped APK, and the ledger line for the brief golden
  • 13:48 brief: the fit pass stops when the brief is freed mid-fit (a rebuilt brief frees the old column between steps; the typed call then raised Invalid type)
  • 13:09 version: 1.0.9 (code 306) - the smooth rift arrival and the fitting brief; the on-device test-ad receipt
  • 13:09 brief: the Mission Brief fits its frame - a measured fit pass tightens type, gaps and portraits before it drops anything (Alf: cut off at the bottom on the phone)
  • 13:09 arrival: the chase lens aims at frame_pre_draw, and a sky launch climbs instead of leaping (Alf: the rift cut scene stutters when the view follows the ship)
  • 12:05 docs: business handover 2026-09-14 - the store, ads, web and content decisions Alf made and the 17 questions still his
  • 04:47 i18n: the 15 imported .translation resources regenerated from the 490-row CSV (the 305 import)
  • 04:47 release: 1.0.8 (code 305) on beta1 - the build stamp, the update token and the story bundle of the shipped APK
  • 04:04 version: 1.0.8 (code 305) - the story rewrite in 15 languages, chat huddles, the web ending, Cass in her own chair
  • 04:04 story: the 2026-09-13 loading tip (the N.U.L.L. Swarm line) in its 14 siblings; every story translation hash current
  • 03:50 requirements: proposed v36 - the 2026-09-14 rulings (web diet WB-18..20, no web Exit WB-21, chat huddles WP-39, the store and ads decisions MZ-11..14, the web ending SP-21 narrowing T59 as T68, the Gradle guards BR-27, the calm bed 1.6 amendment, the translation trigger)
  • 03:49 story: Alf's rewrite of the bridge talks, the ending and the game-over line (the N.U.L.L. swarms, Fulano's name gag, Find The Nerd as the carbon-dated note), the 56 locale siblings re-synced line for line by the translator; credits name Claude Fable 5.1 and The Floating Jelly; the translation hashes refreshed (loading.md stays flagged until its 2026-09-13 tip line is translated)
  • 03:14 check-audio: the gain-floor row is AU-10 (its accepted ID since the v33 fold), not AU-11 - v35 proposes AU-11 for the Music bus
  • 03:07 i18n: the CSV backlog since 2026-09-13 in all 15 locales - 70 rows (the Settings tabs and Performance tiers, Daily Mission, the web droid tiles and captions, mouse-and-keyboard controls, disks, the title crew rows, TO BE CONTINUED); the Auto (tier) caption translates both halves itself (auto-translate looked up the formatted string and missed)
  • 03:05 story: Cass sits in her own chair again - the bridge resolved speakers through the catalog's catch-credit forward, which has sent CASS to Monty's body and name since 2026-09-07 (render-verifier 2026-09-14); Cast.live_info for the stage, the STORYSTAGE dump names each seat's body and SP-20 compares it; the web ending hides the HUD for the rift dive
  • 02:51 merge crowd/chat-groups: chat huddles on every face that can host one and walk-up joins that land, plus the three WP-3 honesty fixes from the 304 smoke (legs credited in 3D on slopes, a popped corner stands a beat on idle, a boxed resume step hands the step back)
  • 02:51 web: the web edition ending - the between-sectors beat at the table, the ship into the rift under TO BE CONTINUED, then the card (Alf 2026-09-14); story_scene reaches the Audio autoload through the main loop so the first line of a beat plays its voice without an out-of-tree get_node error
  • 02:49 crowd: chat huddles on every face that can host one, and walk-up joins that land (Alf 2026-09-14)
  • 02:00 check-audio: AU-11 accepts a trailing comment on the BED_GAIN line (the 1.6 raise carries its date note and false-FAILed the 304 smoke)
  • 01:37 rebuild: two Gradle export traps from the first 1.0.7 build - drop stale *.import sidecars in the Android template res/ (they failed the resource merger) and assert org.gradle.daemon=false (the lingering daemon held Godot's stdout pipe, so the export never returned after the APK was written)
  • 01:22 merge web/diet: the web cast (6 targets, the mentors, 4 drones, 4 aliens, 2 robots), three soundtracks, the CJK fonts fetched on demand from fonts/ next to the page - the Web Store package 300.8 to 201.7 MB, Android unchanged
  • 01:15 web: the diet - the web cast subset, three soundtracks, CJK fonts fetched on demand (Alf 2026-09-14)
  • 01:01 web: no Exit on the web title (a page cannot close its tab); Nerd Rift's calm bed to 1.6 (Alf: raise it again)
  • 00:44 version: 1.0.7 (code 304) - the evasion fix and real rewarded ads
  • 00:42 merge ads/admob-plugin: real rewarded ads through AdMob on Android - consent, the 13+ configuration, Alf's four placements behind LIVE_IDS, his App ID, check-ads; the Android and Kids presets export with Gradle
  • 00:41 ads: the AdMob plugin (Poing v5.1.0) in the Android build - consent first, the 13+ request configuration, one rewarded ad per unit, Alf's four placements (Intel, Droid 1, Droid 2, Continue) behind LIVE_IDS, his App ID in project.godot; check-ads.ps1
  • 00:06 merge crowd/l3-escape-reversals: the evader plans cover with slack and around crowd bodies - a knife-edge cell and a walker on the approach were the 303 smoke's L3 s130 Hard FAIL (crowd-warden)
  • 00:04 crowd: the evader picks cover he can HOLD - goal slack, body-aware cover routes, no ladder-bottom about-face (HM-1 L3 s130 Hard)

2026-09-13

  • 23:40 build: 1.0.6 code 303 stamp (built, held by the L3 s130 evasion check); the web title painting's import file
  • 23:36 store answers: the developer website is spacenerds.com on every listing, one app-ads.txt at the studio root; ads declared from the first release
  • 23:32 docs: handover for the websites project - the three editions, what is live where, and where every painting lives
  • 23:17 rules: the store decisions - Everyone 13+, no purchases in the first release, AdMob rewarded ads from the first release (Alf 2026-09-13)
  • 23:04 ledger: the 303 smoke's evasion FAIL on L3 s130 Hard (1.0.6 held)
  • 22:13 requirements: proposed v35 - the evening of 2026-09-13 (purposeful wander, tabs, clear colour, editor save, the audio bus, symbol glyphs, eight web rows)
  • 22:13 version: 1.0.6 (code 303) - the evening of 2026-09-13
  • 22:12 settings: real tabs on the pause screen's framed panel (rounded tops, open bottoms, the lit tab orange); the Options rows scroll inside the frame; the rules log's evening entry
  • 21:59 merge crowd/purposeful-wander: a crowd leg goes to a point of interest - seats, stations, chat spots, props, structures, the pond, the rim - and dwells there; the 5 u floor is gone (Alf: it should be based on their destination)
  • 21:58 crowd: purposeful wander - a leg goes to a point of interest, the 5 u floor retired
  • 21:23 merge editor/save-keeps-pose: no re-dress in the bench changes the viewed pose or clip phase - the leave guard's Save all was the jump to the carry walk (gear-editor)
  • 21:22 editor: a re-dress never changes the viewed pose or phase - the leave-guard's Save all ran the gear cycle it guarded through _apply_gear and the walk-to-carry nudge flipped the bench; a same-seat gear cycle keeps the view (ED-5); --editwalk gains save, guardsave, guarddiscard
  • 21:16 gear: Alf's evening round - Tank's walk and Pixel's female walk packs on every pose, a tuned carry walk kept (Alf 2026-09-13)
  • 21:08 boot: the engine clear colour is the intro navy - the grey frame between the studio card and the title is gone (Alf: a blank grey or green screen between the logo and the menu)
  • 20:34 merge web/scope-chapter-one: one Campaign card on the web, no links out on the CrazyGames portal, the SDK data mirror for saves, the Web Store preset with a 234-pattern trim (578.8 to 298.4 MB, no content cut)
  • 20:33 web: chapter-one scope - one Campaign card, portal hides links, SDK data mirror, Web Store preset trim
  • 20:30 web: the Find The Nerd Web title painting from the drop folder behind Portal.is_web(); the floppy disk icon re-rendered straight on at 256 px (Alf: it looked weird at an angle)
  • 20:28 merge web/hud-disks-controls: on the web abilities spend disks and fire on one press, a not-enough card offers a rewarded transmission, droids give a disk with two-line names, mouse and keyboard controls with their guide (Alf's 10, 11, 12)
  • 20:28 web: disks spend and fire, the not-enough card, droids give a disk, mouse and keyboard controls (Alf 2026-09-13 items 10-12)
  • 20:18 fonts: Noto Sans Symbols and Symbols 2 ride as fallbacks behind every theme font - the gear, arrows, checks and crosses draw on the web too (Alf: the 2699 boxes)
  • 20:03 audio: the Music bus lives in a static bus layout - the runtime add_bus wired a feedback loop on the web and the game was silent there
  • 18:59 build: 1.0.5 code 302 - the afternoon of 2026-09-13, smoke PASS 16 of 16 on the rerun
  • 18:37 ledger: the hop line is 50 after 25 read 38 on the 302 smoke
  • 18:37 checks: check-perf reads the Options tab builder, check-audio accepts CRLF lines, the hop line 50 (25 read 38 on the 302 smoke)
  • 18:13 version: 1.0.5 (code 302) - the afternoon of 2026-09-13; touched-smoke keeps both static checks (perf, audio) after the merge
  • 18:12 merge tools/unset-lines: the UNSET numbers become FAIL lines on Alf's word - audio gain 1.33, crowd tick 4 ms, oob-loop 5, hops 25, gear bar 0 (Play release only); cover 0.50 and slip 30 stay report-only with findings
  • 18:12 requirements: v32 and v33 folded on Alf's rulings of 2026-09-13 - register 228 to 264, T62 to T67 closed; v34 proposed (the afternoon's rulings)
  • 18:04 ledger: five UNSET numbers closed at Alf's proposed figures, two stay open with the day's findings
  • 18:04 checks: the UNSET numbers become pass/fail lines at the proposed figures (Alf 2026-09-13)
  • 17:47 merge perf/tiers: Auto / Low / Medium / High performance tiers (Alf: per-device tuning, the tier overrides the specific switches, the switches still win when touched)
  • 17:46 golden: re-bless lv1, lv3, lv4, lv6, lv8 and structs on Alf's word (crowd LOD, the seeded arcs, the editor picker); tools/publish-web.ps1 - the web edition under beta1/web; the story bundle with Cass's line
  • 17:46 perf: per-device performance tiers - Auto / Low / Medium / High on the Options tab
  • 17:46 merge editor/t64-mirror-refit: cross-handed copies mirror, every copy refits by body size, and the hand refit was inert (gear-editor)
  • 17:45 editor: cross-handed copies mirror and every cross-character copy re-fits by body size (T64 a1 + b1); Cast.bone_span reads a leaf bone
  • 17:38 records: the rules of the afternoon (tabs, Paste ALL, the roster), pending strings
  • 17:38 web: the web edition never touches the mobile leaderboard (WB-7) - no fetch, no submit, no queue, no Hall, the secret out of the export
  • 17:38 story: the bridge roster is a rule - Pepito's beat goes to Cass, check-story asserts the staged models (SP-20 proposed)
  • 17:38 settings: tabs - Play, Sound, Options, About, and Developer on debug builds (Alf: "lets do C / Tabs")
  • 17:38 reveal: the spotlight cone never shows its apex - a fade to nothing toward the top, cut past the frame or short of the lens; the rift arcs take the level seed
  • 17:28 merge editor/paste-all-slots: Paste ALL by family - hand plus both wrists, back as position and scale (gear-editor)
  • 17:27 editor: Paste ALL per family - back carries position and scale, hand carries the item and both wrists
  • 14:51 menus: no arrows on the Settings buttons, the language value centred, crew rows per day only on the Daily board, the rift's arcs seed-locked
  • 14:51 gear, records: Aria's untuned hand rows take the puzzle grip; the 1.0.3 waiver; the afternoon's rulings; build 301 stamp
  • 14:16 requirements: proposed v33 - the asks of 2026-09-12 and 09-13 (analyst, propose-only)
  • 14:16 version: 1.0.4 (code 301) - the evader's treadmill watch; 300 never left the box
  • 14:15 merge crowd-warden/wp3-nerd-carry-walk-stop: the evader's treadmill watch (crowd-warden)
  • 14:14 crowd: the evader runs the 0.4s net-progress stall watch too - HM-1 ladder response
  • 13:17 intro: the studio card at every launch and a studio boot splash; Neo's seat pack row consistent; version 1.0.3 (code 300)
  • 13:05 build: 1.0.2 code 299 - the ten of 2026-09-13, smoke PASS 14 of 14
  • 12:29 version: 1.0.2 (code 299) - release notes and the gamelog entry for the ten of 2026-09-13
  • 12:29 gear: Aria's idle puzzle row on every pose, her pack on the seat, and every cello case mirrored to the off-hand side (Alf 2026-09-13)
  • 12:29 menus: the ten of 2026-09-13 - lost daily on record, crew rows, kids title, even level rows, back goes home, livelier slots, learn row in Settings, editor as a debug option
  • 11:57 merge editor/pose-nav-undo: pose Prev/Next, undo stacks clear on save, undo keeps the viewed pose, the seven-tap knock removed (gear-editor)
  • 11:56 editor: pose Prev/Next, undo clears on save and keeps the viewed pose, editor entry moves to the debug Settings row
  • 11:45 gear: Alf's device round of 2026-09-13 - 300 edits, 12 seeded wrist rows, walking-pose packs inherited

2026-09-12

  • 14:54 merge howto/portrait-centred: portraits centre on the posed body (gear-editor)

  • 14:50 merge crowd/anim-lod: per-character LOD for the phone (crowd-warden)

  • 13:58 rules: mentors speak only in the Campaign (Alf 2026-09-12)
  • 13:52 version: 1.0.1 (code 298) - the name counts per build until Play (Alf); the notes since beta1 293 under 1.0.1

  • 11:58 tools: check-evasion row 2e - the oob-loop belt (5 at one position, PROPOSED)
  • 11:58 crowd: evader oob loop - robust _in_bounds, oob cell ban, spot-streak rebuild
  • 11:27 ledger: the evader loop did not repeat on a rerun - a reachable state, not a regression
  • 11:22 ledger: the evader out-of-bounds waypoint loop caught by the 296 smoke (L8 s13 Hard)
  • 10:55 reqs: v32 part E - the menu rulings folded (UI-34 to UI-36, SV-9, TU-10, MZ-10, five amendments), T65 closed, T66 the Daily Mission rename scope
  • 10:53 settings: the Sound page scrolls its fourteen rows so the header stays on a 720 canvas (verifier)
  • 10:39 notes: the menu rulings and the seat rule in the 1.0.0 section; code 296 in the gamelog
