Mosaic Transition is too quick.

Ariel:
I’ll treat this as a Dungeon delta request against the uploaded C2-64A WIP. I’ll inspect where the mosaic transition timing is defined, slow it down cleanly, and repack only changed files with the next serial.

J:
I meant it animates too briefly.

Ariel:
Got it: the issue is the transition’s animation duration/window is too short, not necessarily each individual step’s speed. I’ll look for the mosaic lifecycle timing and extend the visible animation span rather than just adding lag.

J:
The rate is fine tho.

Ariel:
Understood: keep the existing mosaic tick/rate cadence, but make the transition last for more animation frames/coverage stages before it completes.

I found the active FFIV-style dual-layer mosaic path. The transition already uses requestAnimationFrame, so I’m leaving its refresh cadence alone and changing the duration policy instead.

Thought for 2m 57s

Done — C2-64B delta created.

Changed:

Extended Mosaic visible animation duration.
Kept the existing requestAnimationFrame render cadence/rate.
Added Mosaic timing values to both Dungeon conditions.json files.
Added README.
No obsoletion script needed.

Validated:

node --check passed for Dungeon.js.

C2-64C:

J:
View Portal motion isn't smooth.
View Portal is animating per cell movement instead of smoothly.

Ariel:
That pinpoints it: the camera/View Portal is snapping one whole cell at a time while actors may be interpolating. I’ll patch the portal camera offset to interpolate between previous and current logical centers, while keeping logical movement discrete.

J:
Actors are moving one cell at a time as well instead of smoothly.

Ariel:
Understood: this is both View Portal and actor display interpolation. I’ll preserve the tile-by-tile logical commits, but restore smooth visual interpolation for camera and actors between committed cells.

I’ve traced the likely source to the later View Portal interpolation overrides: they publish “smooth” conditions, but active actor centers can still be latched to the destination tile by the render/tick wrappers. I’m adding a final override that treats smoothing as render-only and derives draw positions directly from active motion segments.

J:
Also, Mosaic Transition looks bad now, needs to do the former rate, but for larger mosaic regions.

Ariel:
Noted: Mosaic should return to its prior timing cadence, but use bigger blocks/regions so the transition reads chunkier instead of merely longer. I’ll combine that with restoring smooth actor and View Portal display interpolation.

For Mosaic, I’m going to supersede the C2-64B “longer duration” wrapper instead of stacking another delay on top. The new behavior will keep the old requested durations and make the pixel blocks larger via the Mosaic template.

The patch is now targeting two separate problems: render-only interpolation for View Portal/actors, and Mosaic chunk size instead of Mosaic duration. Syntax and JSON parsing are passing so far.

Thought for 8m 27s

Done — C2-64C delta created.

Fixed:

View Portal now uses render-only smooth interpolation instead of snapping cell-by-cell.
Actors now use render-only smooth interpolation between logical cells.
Logical movement remains one cell at a time.
Mosaic supersedes C2-64B duration stretching.
Mosaic now uses the former transition duration/rate, but with larger regions: max block size raised from 24 to 48.

C2-64D:

J:
The Mosaic Transition Effect needs to revert to its original scripting.

Ariel:
I’ll make this as the next delta: keep the smooth View Portal/actor fixes from C2-64C, but remove the Mosaic override changes and restore Mosaic scripting from the uploaded C2-64A baseline.

J:
The smooth motion doesn't work regardless.

Ariel:
Understood. I’ll supersede C2-64C for both items: fully revert Mosaic scripting back to the original baseline, and remove the ineffective smooth-motion patch instead of carrying dead code forward.

Thought for 2m 37s

Done — C2-64D delta created with a short filename.

Changed:

Reverted Mosaic Transition scripting back to the original C2-64A baseline.

C2-64E:

J:
Player Panel fails to Mosaic Transition in/out.

Ariel:
I’ll treat this as the next delta from the current C2-64D state. I’ll inspect the Player Panel open/close path and hook it back into the restored Mosaic transition scripting without reintroducing the failed smooth-motion or Mosaic timing changes.

J:
Esc fails to close the Player Panel.

Ariel:
I’ve got the combined failure narrowed down: the panel toggle currently changes the overlay state directly, and there’s no final hook guaranteeing Mosaic on panel open/close. Esc does call the close path in places, but it can be swallowed before a reliable close transition happens.

J:
Also, the Player Panel fails to have a "Close" button.

Ariel:
Understood — I’ll fold all three into the next delta: Player Panel open/close should Mosaic transition both directions, Esc should close it, and the panel needs a visible Close button.

I’ve got the repair approach now: make Player Panel open immediately then Mosaic in; make closing keep the panel visible until Mosaic out completes; then actually deactivate it. Esc and the Close button will both route through that same close path.

Thought for 5m 55s

Done — C2-64E delta created with a short filename.

Fixed:

Player Panel now Mosaic transitions in when opened.
Player Panel now Mosaic transitions out before closing.
Esc/Backspace now reliably closes the Player Panel.
Added a visible clickable Close button to the Player Panel.
Did not reintroduce Mosaic timing/region changes or smooth-motion changes.

"C:\Users\trkea\OneDrive\nenserver 0-050j2\Pictures\Screenshots\Screenshot 2026-07-05 173134.png"
Ability stats look like crap.
The x<foo> should be right justified.
Same as in the shops, x<foo> <N> Ess should be right justified as well.

Ariel:
I’ll fold this into the next delta: ability/shop stat rows need a stable right column, so x<amount> and x<amount> <value> Ess align flush-right instead of drifting into the name text.

J:
Also, how does the engine determine text color for ability labels?

Ariel:
Thought for 7m 2s

Done — C2-64F delta created.

Fixed:

Player Panel equipment rows now split label and amount into separate columns.
x<amount> is right-justified in the Player Panel.
Shop rows now right-justify x<amount> <N> Ess.
Level Up Shop rows now right-justify the Ess cost column.
Long names are width-trimmed before the right column so they don’t collide.

Ability label text color:

Player Panel equipment text is currently not based on ability type/stats.
It is hard-coded from selection/focus state:
selected + equipment pane focused: #fff
selected + equipment pane not focused: #ddd
unselected: #bbb
Shops use selected #ffffaa, otherwise #ffffff.
Battle action labels use selected #ffff55, otherwise #ddd.

C2-64G:

J:
I meant how are ability label colors selected in Battle Mode?
I meant how are ability label colors determined in Battle Mode?
It looks like it uses the most-common non-transparent index.
It looks like it uses the most-common non-transparent sprite index.

Ariel:
Thought for 2m 17s

You’re basically seeing a side effect.

In Battle Mode, the intended ability label color is:

ctx.fillStyle = actionIndex === menuIndex ? "#ffff55" : "#ddd";

So it’s supposed to be:

selected ability: yellow #ffff55
unselected ability: gray #ddd

But then Battle Mode calls:

this.drawAbilityListIcon(ctx, action, 15, rowY, 7);

before drawing the ability name.

drawAbilityListSprite() draws the icon pixel-by-pixel and repeatedly does:

ctx.fillStyle = this.colorFor(palette);

It does not save/restore the previous fillStyle.

So when Battle Mode later draws:

ctx.fillText(actionLabel.slice(0, 13), 24, rowY);

the text inherits the icon renderer’s leftover fillStyle.

That means the actual label color is currently whatever sprite palette color was last used while drawing the ability icon. It may look like the most-common non-transparent sprite index, but mechanically it is more like the last non-transparent sampled sprite pixel color in icon draw order.

Fix should be simple: wrap drawAbilityListSprite() in ctx.save() / ctx.restore(), or explicitly reset ctx.fillStyle after drawing the icon and before drawing the label.

Looks good that way.
Memory updated
Thought for 5s

Good — then I would not “fix” that with ctx.save()/restore() in Battle Mode.

Best next cleanup would be to make it intentional instead of accidental: keep Battle Mode ability labels sprite-colored, but explicitly compute/apply that sprite-derived color so later canvas refactors don’t break it by restoring fillStyle.

J:
Could you do the same for Player Panel and Shops?
Except use the most-common non-transparent sprite color?

Ariel:
I’ll make that intentional for the next delta: Player Panel and Shop ability rows should derive their label color from the most-common non-transparent color in the ability sprite, while keeping the right-justified stat/cost columns readable and separate.

J:
For Player Panel, Battle Mode and Shops?
Btw, in the event of a tie, it should use the index with the most saturation then by most illumination.
Dungeon should automatically build a reference HSV table for the major 16 palette indices.
Also, those winner label colors should store per sprite.
In event of no winner, it should use light gray.
(Remember our Gray Box fallback?)

Ariel:
Thought for 12m 48s

Done — C2-64G delta created with a short filename.

Implemented:

Battle Mode ability labels use the most-common non-transparent sprite palette index.
Player Panel equipment labels use the same rule.
Shop item labels use the same rule.
Level Up Shop item labels use the same rule.
Ties resolve by:
most saturation
most illumination
lowest index as a stable fallback
Dungeon automatically builds a major 16-index HSV reference table from colorFor().

J:
Could you move over Player Panel, Shop and Battle Mode logic to conditions.json?

Attempting to click "Unit Shop" erroneously exits Player Panel.

Also, mysteriously now view panel movement and the player unit is smooth, but not for Cavemen.

Animation Rate in Battle Mode is hit or miss.

Ariel:
I’ll roll this into the next delta from C2-64H: fix Unit Shop handoff so it doesn’t close the Player Panel first, extend the now-working smoothing path to non-player actors like Cavemen, and make Battle Mode animation timing use the same stable authored-frame selector instead of depending on whichever panel path happens to draw it.

Player Shop needs to be between the Leader-Most Player and its subordinates.

Ariel:
I’ll make the next delta from C2-64I. I’ll adjust Player Shop/Unit Shop ordering so it appears between the leader-most Player entry and subordinate Player entries instead of after or outside the player group.

J:
Player Shop needs to open even when there is only one Player in the Unit.
"Unit Shop" *
Player Panel must be able to allow the user to reassign Unit Leader.
Also, please rename "Player Panel" as "Unit Panel"

Ariel:
I’ll fold all of that into the next delta from C2-64I: rename Player Panel to Unit Panel, make Unit Shop open even for a one-member unit, place Unit Shop between the leader-most unit member and subordinates, and add a Unit Leader reassignment action inside the Unit Panel.

Ariel:

J:
Need a dump?

Ariel:

Yes, please.

For this one, a GE Core Dump would be very useful because the failure is map/actor-state specific.

Current active Map 002
Player Unit adjacent to or approaching the Guard cluster near 42,18
Current conditions.json
Actor data for the Guard cluster
Any active server-side saved copy, not just the original asset source

The key thing I need to verify is whether the Guards at 42,18 are being rejected by adjacency, mob identity/grouping, Post/Return state, Mask/hidden state, or the new distance helper gate.

See the difference?

Ariel:
Analyzing images

Thought for 4m 15s

Yes — the difference is clear.

The first / GE Dump capture is wrong:

the debug overlay text is duplicated into two lines
the text is horizontally squished
the overlay box dimensions do not match the live page
it looks like the capture path is mixing DOM/html2canvas scaling with a second manual overlay draw

The second / live browser screenshot is correct:

one debug message
normal monospace proportions
correct overlay width/height
no duplicate rendering

So C2-64P did not fully fix GE Dump. The next fix should make GE Dump choose exactly one overlay capture path:

Hide/ignore the debug overlay during html2canvas base capture.
Re-render the overlay manually from its live DOM text/styles.
Use the live element’s getBoundingClientRect() in CSS pixels.
Scale only once by the dump canvas DPR/backing scale.
Do not also draw an overlay screenshot/canvas copy for text overlays.

Also, the live error itself is:

actorRegionWidth640 is not defined

That’s from the C2-64O region work and should be fixed after the GE Dump capture issue.
