This document is the deliverable of +the round-4 observation session: a full re-run of the observation effort with **the real-time visual +player experience as the first-class citizen**. Round 1 made the engines feed each other, round 2 made +the map feed them, round 3 made the steady state healthy and the failures answerable. Round 4 asks the +question none of them asked directly: **when a player just watches the town, does what they see read as +a living place — or as simulation machinery wearing a town costume?** + +Three instruments, cross-checked: + +1. **A new movement tracer** in `TestHarness.ts` (uncommitted on the working tree, proposed as a keeper — + see Part 5): `startTrace()/stopTrace()/traceReport()/traceAnomalies()/traceEvents()/traceCrumbs()/ + activityCensus()` sample every update frame while active and record per-person state-change timelines, + positional breadcrumbs, and anomaly detection (logical teleports, render-layer jumps, stuck walkers, + sprite overlaps, sprite-audit violations) — because screenshots can't see motion, but a posthumous + trace can. +2. **Live play in a real Chrome tab** (the Claude-in-Chrome session): an asset-booted 12-house / + 14-business / full-civic-set town of 28 (seed 20260719), observed for ~83 in-game hours of real + RAF-driven play at 1×/4×/8× through the shipped W10 time system, plus forced scenarios (a house fire + with residents inside, serious illness at night, a witnessed crime, a bulldoze with an occupant). +3. **Static sweeps** of the seams each live finding implicated (`City.startCommute`, `LiveWorld`, + `Person.processTravel`/`updateDestination`, `SocialOpportunity`, `MainScene` formations/labels, + `json/actions.json`). + +Findings are marked **[live]** (observed in the browser), **[static]** (mechanism verified in source), or +both. Where a finding traces to a known deferred residual, that is said explicitly. + +The headline: **the sprite/travel truth layer (W8/W10) genuinely holds** — sprite invariants stayed +all-zero for the entire session, no orphan cars, no ghost sprites, honest labels, clean bulldozes — and +the town's *systems* keep working (labor flows, school runs, fires burn and resolve, the justice chain +closes with a mid-cake-baking arrest that is pure Dwarf Fortress). What round 4 exposes is one layer +deeper: **the town's model of PLACE and PURPOSE is too coarse for the camera.** Movement is truthful but +absurd (a woman walks home to board a car parked at her own front door, drives zero meters, and gets +out); "outside" is a single logical room the size of the whole map; walkers navigate building-anchor to +building-anchor because there is nowhere else to go; toddlers run errands alone at 5 AM; and the moments +the glue produces — evacuations, arrests, homelessness — still read wrong in the details because nothing +re-plans a life the instant its context burns down. Round 4's identity: **make place, purpose, and +company real on the street.** + +--- + +## Part 1 — What verifiably works (do not re-solve) + +Confirmed live this session, on `main` (post-aliveness-3, asset v137.0): + +- **Sprite invariants: all-zero across ~83 in-game hours** — orphanControlledVehicles 0, + occupiedDriverlessVehicles 0, visibleIndoorsPeople 0, at every sample, through commutes, a fire, an + arrest, and a demolition. The W8 lifecycle fixes hold under sustained real-time play. +- **The time system (W10)**: 1×/4×/8× ran distortion-free; movement and clock never diverged; the HUD + toolbar highlight tracked programmatic scale changes. +- **Labor flow (W1/LP-13)**: 0 → 22 employed by day-1 evening, 28/28 adult employment by day 3; + front-line-first hiring produced 1 security guard, sales associates, checkout clerks, corrections + officers — no Manager avalanche; the civic set self-staffed (police, fire, hospital, sanitation, jail) + with no player micromanagement. +- **School (058/063)**: all four school-age children enrolled and physically present at the school + building mid-morning, `attend_school` running; the toddler correctly excluded. +- **Travel labels & minute cadence (LP-2/LP-11)**: "Going to Barros-Martins / Plan: Working the + register" walking past "Out looking for work" is the street narrating itself; departures visibly + spread across the hour. +- **The fire arc completes** (102/110/116): particles on the burning house, household evacuation, + resolution ("The fire was contained — heavy damage" in the feed), family back home after. The + *middle* reads wrong (Part 3), but the loop is real. +- **The justice arc completes** (109): witnessed incident → next-morning `fleeing_the_police` → + `chase_concluded` → `was_arrested` → `got_a_ride` → `was_detained` → `serving_time` → + `ate_prison_food`. The suspect fled **mid-`bake_cake`** — dough abandoned on the counter — which is + exactly the texture this project exists for. +- **Bulldoze truth (W9)**: an off-anchor bulldoze cleared all 9 footprint cells (no ghost building), the + feed narrated demolition + homelessness honestly, and the occupant was physically ejected to the curb. +- **Evening variety (W2)**: jogging, evening strolls, window shopping, exercising, running errands — a + readable, varied early-evening street. Deep-night streets (1–2 AM) were mostly, though not entirely, + empty. +- **Work texture**: the officer's day log (short break → gave directions to a stranger → checked the + clock → wrote up reports) and the nurse's (tested a sample, tidied the workspace, complained about + the time) read as believable workdays. + +--- + +## Part 2 — The movement layer: truthful, but absurd + +The W8 pass made movement *honest*; this session shows honesty is not the same as sense. These are the +round-4 core findings — all in the class the brief asked about (cars vs. walking, teleports, clustering, +overlap). + +### 2.1 · The car ritual: every trip is a car trip, and the car spawns at the wrong end + +**[static+live]** `City.startCommute` has no walk-vs-drive decision (every adult located trip spawns a +car, at any distance) and resolves its origin as `person.getCurrentBuilding() ?? person.social.getHome()` +— so for anyone **outdoors** (ambulatory walk, job hunting, ejected, stranded at a curb by a prior +outside action), the commute car spawns **in front of their home, wherever they actually are**. + +The tracer caught the canonical absurdity end-to-end. Marcela, out walking at 01:00, decides to sleep: + +1. Her body **keeps walking the leftover stroll leg** for 7 minutes while the sleep intent waits + (`Person.update` continues the stale `currentTarget`/path after the ambulatory action ended — a + bounded cousin of the stale-trip bug W8 fixed for building trips). +2. At her departure minute the car spawns at her **own home's curb** (origin = home; destination = home). + She walks **~31 tiles to her own house** to reach it (13 sim-minutes labeled "Going home"). +3. `enter-car → driving → exit-car` land **in the same minute at the same coordinates** — a + zero-distance drive, because the car spawned on the destination's adjacent road tile. +4. She steps out of the car parked at her front door and walks the last 3 tiles inside. + +Visually: *a woman walks home, climbs into a parked car, immediately gets out of it, and goes to bed.* +Every homeward trip from outdoors has this shape. Every outdoors shift-start has the mirror shape (walk +home first, then drive to work — even when the workplace is between the person and home). + +Two compounding effects measured: + +- **92 car trips in ~3.5 days for 28 people, all short hops.** Job-application rounds + (`applying_at_business`) alone accounted for 12+ car trips — the street reads as cars materializing, + driving 4–8 tiles, parking, and **vanishing on arrival** (park-and-despawn). Magic pop-in/pop-out cars + are the dominant vehicle experience. +- All 278 logical "teleports" the tracer flagged were the **by-design disembark sync** (`exit-car → + walk-to-destination`, sprite hidden while driving) — i.e. no *bug*-class teleports remain — but the + boarding/alighting snaps are also what a player half-sees and reports as "walked to the entrance then + teleported to their car." + +**Direction (V1, the anchor workstream):** a real **trip planner** at the transition seam — +(a) origin truth: the trip starts from the person's actual position, never from a building they are not +at; (b) **walk vs. drive by distance** (authored threshold, ~N tiles): short trips are walked, the car +is for real distance; (c) never spawn a car whose route is zero/one road tile; (d) later (own +initiative): persistent household cars that park and are *re-boarded*, instead of per-trip conjuring — +the current spawn/despawn contract is the root of the pop-in/pop-out reading. + +### 2.2 · "Outside" is one town-sized room + +**[static+live]** `LiveWorld.locationOf` returns `{kind:'outside'}` for every outdoor person, and both +`peopleAt` and the interaction contract's same-building check (`locationKey(a) === locationKey(b)`) +treat all outdoor people as co-located — **across the entire map**. The social hook, person-targeted +actions, consent, witnesses, and the C1 counterpart machinery all bind through it. + +Live evidence (crumb-verified positions at commit minute): 6 outdoor interactions between people +**110–470 px apart** (7–29 tiles) in one session, including `lent_an_object` at 386 px — the object +changed hands between two people on opposite sides of town — and `played_with_person` at 470 px. +Street conversations, greetings, jokes, gossip: any two pedestrians anywhere qualify. + +This is the documented off-map co-location seam surfacing on the map, where the camera can see it. It +also quietly distorts everything gated on company (witnesses for crimes, `hosting_gathering`'s guests, +the social graph's street-formed edges). + +**Direction (V2):** give the outdoors **place-hood** — outdoor co-location becomes radius-scoped +(reuse the location→people index pattern; a street-segment or supertile bucket key like +`outside:-` keeps `locationKey` equality semantics intact so the engine and validators are +untouched), and the interaction contract's "same building" becomes "same place" with outdoors places +being small. Bootstrap/logical worlds keep the abstract single 'outside' (the sanctioned seam +difference, exactly like venue hours). + +### 2.3 · Walkers navigate building-anchor to building-anchor — the entrance-cluster mechanism + +**[static+live]** Ambulatory movement (`Person.updateDestination`) picks destinations from +`Field.destinations` — the set of **every building anchor** — and `setNextTarget` targets a building's +**entrance point** when the path ends at a structure. So "taking a walk" is structurally: *pick a random +building, walk to its front door, stand there, pick another building.* The user's long-standing +observation that wanderers concentrate around public-building entrances is confirmed and mechanized: +every wander leg **terminates at an entrance**, and with most walkers alive at once (see 2.5) the same +few entrance pixels host a rotating crowd. First-frame observation: 15 simultaneous walkers, most parked +at house/civic entrance points; "Taking a walk" labels literally at the fire station's and jail's doors. + +Side note **[static]**: wander picks use `Phaser.Math.RND` (unseeded) — harmless today because outdoor +pixel positions never feed sim state, but worth a comment the day outdoor radius co-location (V2) lands, +at which point wander must move onto a seeded stream. + +**Direction (V2, same workstream):** a **street wander graph** — ambulatory legs route over road/curb +nodes and authored loiter points (the park, benches, storefront windows), ending mid-block, not at +doors; entrances stop being destinations except for trips that genuinely enter. Pairs naturally with +loitering variety (sit on the bench that already exists as an object, window-shop at a shop-fronted +road). + +### 2.4 · Sprite stacking: 1,039 overlap episodes; the jitter fix pops + +**[live, tracer]** 1,039 distinct episodes of two+ visible outdoor people within 4 px (5-second-cooldown +deduped, so this undercounts). Mechanisms: + +- Everyone on a road walks the **same 1D curb line**, and everyone visiting a building stands on the + **same entrance pixel** — logical stacking is structural (2.3 feeds it). +- The W5 formation offsets only separate **same-defId** groups (via the alias table) within a 32-px + cell, refreshed per in-game minute. Distinct-activity stacks — "Taking a walk" over + "Visiting relatives" — get **no offset at all**. +- The offsets **snap**: 13 render-jump anomalies of exactly the predicted shape — logical movement ~0 px, + sprite hop 8–10 px — when a formation refresh re-slots a standing group. This is the user's "the + jitter made people clip/teleport short distances" sighting, confirmed and mechanized: the offset is + applied instantaneously in the redraw closure with no interpolation. + +**Direction (V6):** (a) interpolate offset changes (lerp toward the target offset over ~a second) so +re-slotting never pops; (b) offset **all** co-located visible people, not just same-activity groups +(slot by stable person id within the position bucket; the activity alias only decides *grouping for +labels*); (c) with 2.3's mid-block loitering, the entrance pile-ups thin out on their own. + +### 2.5 · Monocultures make the street read as a flash mob + +**[live]** Free-time output is varied *per person over time* but synchronized *across people at a +moment*: 15 of 28 residents ran `taking_a_walk` simultaneously at 07:00 day 1; 11 of 28 ran +`visiting_friends` at 22:00; midnight strolls are routine (`taking_a_walk` keeps its base weight at +3 AM — Marcela's 00:00–01:00 walk; the town's "midnight-empty streets" is only mostly true). The same +few actions also dominate biographies (the aliveness-3 coffee-monoculture finding, now visible on the +street as identical labels everywhere). + +**Direction (V7, pure data + one selection nicety):** hour-shaped weights for the big outdoor/social +actions (walks peak morning/evening, near-zero 23:00–06:00 absent insomnia texture; visiting_friends +tapers after 21:00), plus mild **anti-synchrony** — the deterministic pick already forks per person; what +is missing is authored variety pressure (lower base weights, more competing evening actions — W2's venue +repertoire helps once venues pull harder than walks). + +--- + +## Part 3 — Scenes that still don't read + +Round 3's W3 fixed the lifecycle vocabulary; these are the next-layer scene breaks, all observed in +forced scenarios this session. + +### 3.1 · The fire: evacuees tour the town, and a man sleeps in the burning house + +**[live]** Ignition at 19:47 with two residents inside (one asleep). What happened: + +- **Evacuation scoped by household, not by presence**: all four household members started `evacuating` — + including two who were elsewhere in town, who thereby began "Evacuating!" *away from* a fire they were + never in. "Evacuating!" labels dotted the whole map within minutes. +- **Evacuation is an unbounded wander**: `evacuating` is `location: outside, ambulatory: run` — the + evacuees ran building-entrance to building-entrance (2.3) for **six in-game hours**, still labeled + "Evacuating!", with no rally point, no "safe now" conclusion, no regrouping at a neighbor's. +- **Pedro went back to bed in the burning building**: his evacuation instance ended (natural conclusion), + the needs hook proposed sleep, sleep's `location: home` sent him **into the open fire**, and he slept + there for the rest of it. Nothing gates located actions on "this building is currently on fire," and + the fire-response hook evidently proposes evacuation once rather than holding it while the incident is + open. +- The fire burned ~7 in-game hours before resolving (with the town's one firefighter off duty — the + honest-coverage path — but 7 hours of particles with zero response *activity* visible is a long time + for the camera). + +**Direction (V4):** (a) a `burning` gate on location targeting (a located intent whose target has an +open fire incident is blocked/typed, and the fire wake *re-proposes* evacuation for anyone inside); +(b) evacuation concludes: scope it to building occupants + a family-notification wake for the rest, +give it a **rally target** (the connected street outside their home, a neighbor/relative house via the +relocation helper) and a natural end when the incident resolves; (c) response pacing: resolution window +tuned so an unanswered fire still resolves within ~2–4 hours. + +### 3.2 · The aftermath gap: homeless, "Spending time at home" + +**[live]** After the bulldoze ejection (which itself worked — body on the curb, feed honest), Maria +Júlia's next hours: `became_homeless` at 15:19 → **`spending_time_at_home` twice more** (17:18, 17:44), +running at the curb next to the rubble, label floating over the grass where her house was → an evening +stroll. The `homeLost` wake fired but did not displace her running location-less leisure; and the +free-time picker kept proposing home-category actions to a woman with no home (`spending_time_at_home` +declares `location: home`, but her pre-demolition instance survived the teardown un-revalidated, and +the re-picks either ran unlocated or silently). `looking_for_a_home` is agenda-anchored to the next +day — correct cadence, but the first hours after the most dramatic event of her life read as denial +plus a nice walk. + +**Direction (V4):** (a) demolition/eviction re-validates the victim's *running* instance (interrupt with +cause, like the arrest ceremony does); (b) a homeless day-shape: home-category actions hard-gate on +having a home, with the shelter-seeking/park/bench repertoire (the machinery exists) taking their +weight; (c) the deferred domestic-location data pass (Appendix B.1's known residual — explicit `home` +locations on the domestic repertoire) folds in here, scheduled post-regeneration as planned. + +### 3.3 · Illness: the treatment intent evaporates when the hospital is closed + +**[live]** Warley fell **seriously** ill at 02:31. He woke at 05:08 and went **grocery shopping** — +the hospital was closed (venue hours: the one nurse off shift), so `hasVenue('hospital')` was false, +the treatment producer proposed nothing, and the hunger producer won the morning. Treatment began only +at 06:51 when the venue opened, ran three sessions, then `resting_at_home_sick` — a decent arc *once +the doors opened*, but "seriously ill man runs errands because the clinic is shut" is the closed-venue +collapse pattern: **a blocked need doesn't defer, it disappears** (no "go when it opens" plan, no +waiting-at-the-door, no urgency escalation). + +**[live, compounding]** The hospital's only staffer is a **Nurse — and nurses never treat**: the +doctor-rounds hook is title-gated to Doctor, so Carla spent the morning `tested_a_sample` / +`tidied_the_workspace` in the same building as a seriously-ill patient in `receiving_treatment`, no +`treating_patient`/`was_treated_by_doctor` pair, no `recentlyTreated` boost — while the coverage ledger +counts her as healthcare provision and the nagbar stays quiet. A staffed-but-doctorless hospital is +functionally a waiting room that the services layer reports as coverage. + +Also **[live]**, the milder case: Marcela (ill at 14:00) got treatment, then spent the evening walking, +visiting friends, and laughing until midnight — mild illness gates almost nothing observable. + +**Direction (V5):** (a) closed-venue needs **defer instead of dissolving** — a planner entry "at +opening hour, go" (the agenda machinery exists; this is the general fix for every venue-gated need, +not just health); (b) treatment roles: either nurses treat at reduced effect (data: the rounds hook +reads a role set, not one title) or coverage weighting counts only treating roles — both honest, pick +one; (c) severity-banded day-gating so serious illness visibly cancels leisure (the bedridden-band +weights exist; verify they bind at `health` 0.3 and widen them). + +### 3.4 · Justice: closes well, sentences oddly + +**[live]** The chain itself was the session's best scene (Part 1). Warts: the sentence for a +first-observed offense was **jail**, not the 109 fine-first ladder (verify whether her hydrated asset +record carries priors — if the off-map carousel (aliveness-3 Part 4.2) still convicts everyone +repeatedly, live sentencing inherits inflated records); the 19-hour case latency read fine +(next-morning warrant), but only because she happened to be home — a suspect mid-shift would be +arrested at the register again (the W3 actor-side interruption covered the officer; the *suspect's* +workday context still doesn't factor); and the harness's `forceEvent` **discards invoke signals**, so +a forced crime never registered an incident (Part 5, tooling). + +### 3.5 · Children are small adults + +**[live]** The session's most consistent coherence break, compounding across every system: + +- **Ana Luiza, age 2**: home alone after both parents left for work; took herself on a solo + `shopping_trip` to the supermarket (minors walk, so she toddled across town); ran + `hosting_gathering`; `lent_an_object` and `invite_to_activity` to people across the map (via 2.2); + and when her mother was jailed and her father at work, she was **out taking a walk alone** again. +- **Beatriz, age 9**: solo `visiting_relatives` before 07:00; wandering town at night mid-evacuation. + +There is no guardianship layer at the behavior level: age gates exist for school/jobs, but free-time +selection offers toddlers the adult repertoire minus explicit age-gated entries, no action requires an +accompanying adult, and nothing notices a dependent home alone (LP-5's household meal fan-out feeds +them; nobody *minds* them). + +**Direction (V3):** an age-banded action policy (data: `minAge` on the errand/venue/social-roaming +repertoire — the validator can enforce coverage), an **accompaniment** primitive for the young (a +toddler's located trip requires/joins a guardian's — the D3 joint-plan linkage is exactly this shape), +a home-alone signal with a parental-care producer (the `caring_for_children` action exists and is +already selected — anchor it when a dependent would otherwise be unattended), and jail/illness/death +fan-outs check for now-unattended dependents (the orphan re-housing precedent). + +### 3.6 · Small coherence catches [live] + +- The generic business draw gave the downtown a **beach** between the bar and the bakery (the + cemetery-class draw-coherence item from aliveness-3 P1-10, still open). +- `visiting_friends` runs in two modes with one identity: the planner's located visit + (`person:`, real travel — good) and an unlocated free-time variant that logs "Visiting friends" + while standing at home alone. Split the ids or gate the free-time variant on co-location. +- `hosting_gathering` ran in three houses at once on day 2 with no evidence of guests arriving + (suspicion, not verified: hosting may not require/produce visitors — worth an audit of its + contract). +- The stale **tool-preview ghost** (a translucent road segment) floats over empty grass wherever the + cursor last hovered before leaving the canvas. +- Shift-enders don't go home first: the officer clocked out at 17:13 and was `browsing_store` at + 17:30 — fine alone, but combined with 2.1 every such trip is a car hop; venue evenings will + multiply them. + +--- + +## Part 4 — Proposed aliveness-4 arc (sketch) + +Round 4's identity: **place, purpose, and company on the street.** Ordered by leverage; sizes in the +house convention. + +| # | Workstream | Contents | Size | +|---|---|---|---| +| **V1** | The trip planner | 2.1: origin truth (trips start where the body is), walk-vs-drive by distance, no zero-length drives, stale-path cancellation on ambulatory end (the sleepwalking leg). Keystone: a scripted day where no resident boards a car for a sub-N-tile trip and no car spawns at a building its driver isn't at. Optional stretch (own initiative): persistent household cars, parked and re-boarded. | M–L | +| **V2** | Outdoor place-hood | 2.2 + 2.3: radius/segment-scoped outdoor co-location behind `locationKey` (bootstrap keeps the abstract 'outside'); the street wander graph with curb/loiter nodes (benches, park, storefronts) replacing building-anchor hops; wander onto a seeded stream; interaction contract "same place" for outdoors. Keystone: zero cross-map interactions in a traced day; walker heatmap no longer peaks at entrances. | L | +| **V3** | Guardianship & dependents | 3.5: age-banded repertoire gates (data + validator), accompaniment via joint-plan linkage for under-N trips, home-alone detection anchoring `caring_for_children`, dependent checks on jail/illness/death fan-outs. Keystone: a traced week in which no under-6 leaves home unaccompanied. | M–L | +| **V4** | Scene aftermath truth | 3.1 + 3.2: burning-building location gate + evacuation with rally and conclusion + presence-scoped evacuation with family-notify wakes; demolition/eviction re-validates running instances; homeless day-shape (home-gated domestic actions + shelter repertoire); the deferred domestic-`home`-location data pass (post-regeneration, as scheduled). | M–L | +| **V5** | Deferred needs & service roles | 3.3: closed-venue needs defer to opening (planner entries) instead of dissolving; treating-role honesty (nurses treat at reduced effect, or coverage counts only treating roles); severity-banded illness day-gating verified live. | M | +| **V6** | Street render polish & selective labels | 2.4: interpolated formation offsets (no 8-px pops), offsets for all co-located visible people (grouping only for labels), label budget tuning; entrance thinning falls out of V2. **M1: activity labels render only over selected people** (person window open), with a debug-all toggle. | S–M | +| **V7** | Rhythm & variety tuning | 2.5 + 3.6: hour-shaped weights for walks/visits (night floors), evening venue pull vs. walk dominance, the beach/cemetery draw-coherence guard, first-offense sentencing verification against hydrated records. Mostly pure data. | M (data) | +| **V8** | Sprite hardening & observation keepers | Part 5 + **M2**: commit the movement tracer; **the definitive orphaned-sprite reconciliation sweep** (every sprite maps to a live list entry or self-destroys; `auditSprites` invariants asserted in CI, not just read); `forceEvent` routes invoke signals through the City consumers; teleport classifier marks the disembark sync as by-design; the "visual truth day" protocol as the standing template. | S–M | +| **V9** | Collective-action integrity | **M3 + M4**: audit all 27 multi-person-semantics actions; the free-rolling continuous stragglers (`visiting_friends`, `visiting_relatives`, `hosting_gathering`, `taking_a_walk_together`) become real **joint plans** — a visit targets a specific friend's house, the host runs a mirrored `hosting_a_friend_visit` in the same building, both linked instances end together (the D3 machinery, applied where it was skipped); generated-doc + validator enforcement so no social action can free-roll again. | M–L | +| **V10** | Locomotion & the real chase | **M5 + M6**: a per-kind movement **speed** (walk / jog / run), driven by the action's `ambulatory` kind, with **police run speed slightly above** civilian run; the pursuit resolves only when the officer sprite **physically catches** the suspect (co-located within a catch radius) or the suspect is **deemed escaped** (distance/time bound) — not a duration-completion roll. Depends on V2 (place-hood makes physical proximity meaningful) and V1 (the movement seam). | M–L | +| **V11** | Time & clock configuration | **M7 + M8**: new games start at **09:00**, not midnight; the speed ladder becomes **1× / 10× / 50×** (HUD icons unchanged); a **50× distortion pass** — verify commute/minute-cadence pumps, departure-jitter windows, and one-waypoint-per-frame walking all hold at the larger per-frame delta (no overshoot, no skipped arrivals, no desync) and extend the W10 speed-invariance determinism suite to 50×. | M | + +Dependency spine: V1 and V2 are the anchors and independent of each other; V4 wants V2's rally targets +but its gates can land first; V3 rides D3 linkage and is independent; **V9 also rides D3** and pairs +with V2's place-hood; **V10 depends on V1+V2**; V5–V7, V8, V11 are independent (V11 is small and can +land early — the start-time and ladder changes are near-trivial, the 50× pass is the substance). The +arc's acceptance gate mirrors this session: a full traced in-game week at **50×** with +**zero bug-class teleports, zero orphaned sprites, zero cross-map interactions, no unaccompanied +toddlers, no car for a sub-threshold trip, every social visit a two-sided scene in one building, a +chase that ends on a real catch, and a fire/demolition scenario whose victims' next six hours read as +aftermath** — plus the standing all-zero sprite audit round 3 already achieved. + +--- + +## Part 5 — Tooling notes (this session's instrument) + +- **The movement tracer** (`TestHarness.ts`, working tree): `startTrace()` samples every `update` frame + (scaled by `effectiveTimeDelta`, so it is throttle-honest and free while paused); per person it + records state-change events (travel step, indoors, building, destination, vehicle link, active + action/status/location, ambulatory), 250-ms breadcrumbs (ring-buffered), and anomalies: `teleport` + (logical jump beyond one frame's walk), `renderJump` (sprite moved ≫ logical — the formation-pop + detector), `stuck` (walking step motionless > 2.5 s), `overlap` (visible pairs < 4 px, deduped), + `spriteAudit` (the W8 invariants, sampled). Read via `traceReport()/traceAnomalies()/traceEvents()/ + traceCrumbs()`, plus `activityCensus()` for one-call town snapshots. Zero cost while off; test-mode + only. **Proposed: commit as a W7-class keeper** (V8), with one refinement — classify + `exit-car → walk-to-destination` as `disembark` (by design) so `teleport` alerts mean bugs. +- **`forceEvent` is signal-blind**: it calls `EventEngine.invoke` and discards the outcome's signals, so + City-side consumers (incident registration, cohabitation, feed) never hear forced events — the forced + shoplifting produced no incident until `incidents.report(...)` was called directly. Fix in V8. +- **Method notes**: build scripts against the harness must be fire-and-forget with polling (CDP + evaluates time out at 45 s; background-tab timer throttling freezes awaited `setTimeout` chains — + keep the tab foregrounded, as established in aliveness-2). `stepGame` compression remains the honest + fast-forward for scenario setup, with the known arrival-compression caveat for anything + arrival-gated measured during the skip. + +--- + +## Part 6 — Maintainer additions (M1–M8) + +Eight observations and directives from the maintainer's own play, each validated against the source and +threaded into the arc above. They divide into three legibility/hardening items (M1, M2), two +collective-action items (M3, M4), two locomotion items (M5, M6), and two configuration items (M7, M8). + +### M1 · Activity labels only over selected people (with a debug-all toggle) → V6 + +**Validation: correct, and it's a pure legibility win.** `MainScene.refreshActivityLabels` creates and +shows a floating label over **every visible outdoor person** (`text.setVisible(show)` for all in the +roster). Combined with the monoculture (2.5) and entrance-clustering (2.3), the street is a wall of +overlapping "Taking a walk" text — the double-ink and collision the W5 merge pass fights is largely a +*consequence of showing them all at once*. + +`MainScene` tracks no notion of selection today (`PersonSelected` is handled only in `Hud.tsx`, which +opens the detail window). The fix: MainScene subscribes to the open-person-window set — the cleanest +seam is a small bus contract (the HUD already owns which `PersonDetails` windows are open; emit an +`inspectedPeopleChanged` set, or reuse `PersonSelected` + a window-closed signal MainScene folds into a +tracked set). A label renders only for a person in that set. Preserve the current show-all behavior as a +**debug toggle** (the `debug.masterSwitch` overlay pattern the curbs/lanes/tile-depth overlays already +use — a keypress like the `T` throttle). This makes the inspected person's activity pop while the rest +of the street stays clean, and it shrinks the label-collision surface V6 otherwise has to fight. + +### M2 · The definitive orphaned-sprite sweep → V8 + +**Validation: the tracer says the *known* leak classes are closed; the maintainer's fresh-game sighting +says finish the job.** `auditSprites` read **all-zero for 83 in-game hours** this session +(orphanControlledVehicles, occupiedDriverlessVehicles, visibleIndoorsPeople), so the W8 vehicle and +same-tick spawn/despawn fixes hold on the asset-boot path. But the maintainer sees, in fresh-game play, +**people standing dead-still at building entrances mid-action** ("visiting friends" at a doorway) — and +asks whether that is an orphaned sprite whose person entered the building. + +Two mechanisms produce that exact picture, and they must be **distinguished, then both closed**: + +1. **Not an orphan (the likely one):** the entrance-clustering of 2.3 — a real outdoor walker whose + ambulatory leg *ended at a building's entrance point* and who is standing there between picks, plus + the location-less social straggler of 3.6/M3 running "visiting friends" wherever the body happens to + be (which, after a wander leg, is a doorway). This is a *behavior* bug (V2 + V9), not a sprite bug — + the person is genuinely there. +2. **A true orphan (must be ruled out):** a sprite left visible after its person entered a building or + was removed. My session never reproduced it, but the fresh-game boot path differs from the asset + harness path, and the maintainer's judgment — *"we've been dealing with these for way too long"* — is + the right call. + +The deliverable: **a standing reconciliation invariant, enforced, not just observable.** `auditSprites` +already computes the counters; V8 (a) adds `orphanSprites` (a rendered person/vehicle sprite with no +live list entry — the class no counter names yet), (b) runs a per-minute scene-side reconciliation sweep +that destroys any sprite whose backing entity is gone or indoors (belt-and-suspenders over the W8 +lifecycle fixes, the same posture as the orphan-vehicle sweep), and (c) **asserts all sprite invariants +zero in the integration suite** so a regression fails CI instead of a play session. The behavior half +(why a person is *legitimately* standing at a doorway) is V2/V9; this item guarantees that whenever the +sim says "indoors" or "gone," the sprite agrees — permanently. + +### M3 · "Visiting friends" must be a two-sided scene in one building → V9 + +**Validation: correct — it's an un-migrated straggler, exactly as suspected.** `visiting_friends` is a +**continuous, free-time-weighted action with no `interaction` block, no target, and no location** +(`selection.weight 0.8`, `location: null`). It runs wherever the body is — which is why the maintainer +saw "Visiting friends" floating over a *business* building: the picker chose it, the body was near a +shop, and nothing binds it to a friend, a house, or a co-participant. `visiting_relatives` and +`hosting_gathering` share the shape (the latter "hosts a gathering" at home with no guests bound). + +The intended design already exists as machinery (the aliveness proposal's D3 joint plans / the planner's +located `person:` visits): a visit should **target a specific friend's house**, the friend should +run a **mirrored `hosting_a_friend_visit`** in that same building, and **both linked instances end +together**. The planner's located visit does part of this; the free-time variant bypasses all of it. The +fix is to route `visiting_friends` (and relatives) exclusively through the joint-plan path — pick a +real friend (social graph), resolve their home, install mirrored instances on both people, gate the +whole thing on the friend being available/home — and delete the location-less free-roll. The visitor +travels there (real commute), the host greets them, the co-located discrete children +(`chatted_with_friend`, `laughed_together`, `watched_tv_together`) fire *inside the house between the two +of them*, and the scene concludes on both sides at once. + +### M4 · Sweep the corpus for other collective-action stragglers → V9 + +**Validation: correct — there are more, and the audit is mechanically findable.** A static sweep of the +337-action manifest turns up **27 actions whose id/label names a multi-person interaction but which +carry no `interaction` block**. Most are legitimately *discrete children* of a co-located continuous +wrapper (`laughed_together`, `chatted_with_friend`, `swapped_shift_gossip` — they inherit co-location +from their parent, so they need no contract of their own). But the **free-rolling continuous** ones are +the stragglers M3 names — `visiting_friends`, `visiting_relatives`, `hosting_gathering`, +`taking_a_walk_together` (the couple's walk, `location: outside` but with no partner bound) — and the +sweep must classify every one of the 27: *child-of-a-co-located-wrapper* (fine), *needs an interaction +contract* (fix), or *needs joint-plan linkage* (fix). Deliverable: a generated, diff-gated coverage +table (the 054/072 pattern — every social-semantics action is one of: contracted, a co-located child, +or a joint plan) plus a validator so a new free-rolling social action can't land. This is the same +audit posture the aliveness proposal's P1 promised; M3's finding shows it was only half-executed. + +### M5 · A running speed, and running actions → V10 + +**Validation: correct — running is nominal only today.** `Person.speed` is a fixed `0.02` px/ms used for +all movement; the `ambulatory` kind an action authors (`'run' | 'jog' | 'stroll'`) is read by +`MainScene`/`City` to set the visible-wander flag but **never changes how fast the sprite moves**. So a +suspect "fleeing the police," a jogger, and someone on an evening stroll all move at identical speed — +the chase has no urgency in the pixels. + +The fix: a per-kind speed table (walk / jog / run as multipliers of the base), applied in `Person.walk`'s +`maxStep` from the active action's `ambulatory` kind (the person already knows it via `setAmbulatory`; +widen it to carry the kind, or read the active instance's def). **Police run speed slightly above +civilian run** (a small authored premium) so a chase visibly closes rather than pacing forever. The +step-clamp (W8) already prevents overshoot at any speed, so this is safe under the throttle — but the +50× pass (M8) should re-confirm it with the higher speeds in play. + +### M6 · Chases end on a real catch, not a timer → V10 + +**Validation: correct, and it compounds with 2.2.** The chase outcome is decided when the +`fleeing_the_police` action's **duration completes** — City resolves `chase_concluded` with "a +deterministic roll weighted by the suspect's age and health." The officer sprite never has to reach the +suspect. Worse, the "chase is on" test in `Pursuit.ts` uses `world.peopleAt({kind:'outside'})` — the +town-wide 'outside' room (2.2) — so **officer and suspect need only both be outdoors anywhere in town** +for the chase to run and resolve; they can be on opposite ends of the map. + +The fix rides V2 and V10: once outdoor co-location is radius-scoped (V2), the chase resolves by +**physical proximity** — `got_caught` fires the tick an on-duty chasing officer's sprite is within a +catch radius of the fleeing suspect; `evaded_the_police` fires when the suspect breaks a +distance-or-time bound (outran the officer, whose slightly-lower run speed, M5, makes escape possible +but not easy). The deterministic roll is retired in favor of the geometry the chase already visually +implies — the outcome becomes *what the player sees happen*. (Bootstrap/logical worlds keep an abstract +resolution — no sprites off-map — the sanctioned seam, so the generator's crime chain is unaffected.) + +### M7 · New games start at 09:00 → V11 + +**Validation: trivial and safe.** The `Clock` is `elapsedMs`, seeded `0` at new game → midnight. Seed it +with `9 × MS_PER_TICK` (9 in-game hours) at new-game init only (loads restore the saved elapsed). The +asset window rebases everyone's ticks to tick 0 and ages derive against the current tick, so a 9-tick +offset is immaterial to ages (8,640 ticks/year) and household composition (the draw reads +`getCurrentTick()`). The win is a town that opens **mid-morning, already awake and commuting**, instead +of a dead 3-real-minute midnight before anyone stirs — the first thing a new player sees. + +### M8 · The speed ladder becomes 1× / 10× / 50×, verified → V11 + +**Validation: the change is one constant; the verification is the substance.** `TIME_SCALES` is +`[1, 4, 8]`; change to `[1, 10, 50]` (the HUD's three icons — play / double-chevron / triple-chevron — +map by index, unchanged). But 50× is **6.25× the current top speed**, and the concern is exactly right: +`effectiveFrameDelta` caps the raw delta at 100 ms then multiplies by scale, so a normal 16 ms frame +becomes **800 ms of sim per frame at 50×** (5 ms → 250 ms; a capped hitch → 5,000 ms). At that stride: + +- **Walking advances one waypoint per `walk()` call** (`setNextTarget` fires once per frame), so a walker + can only progress one curb segment per frame no matter how large the delta — at 50× the clock outruns + the feet, so commutes eat more in-game time than authored (arrival-gated behavior degrades, the P0-5 + disease in a new form). The clamp prevents *overshoot*; it doesn't prevent *falling behind*. +- **The minute-cadence pumps** (`City.handleCommute`, `LiveWorld.pump`, wake drains) may see several + in-game minutes elapse per frame — verify they process every crossed minute, not just the latest, or + departures/arrivals get skipped. +- **The departure-jitter window** (`DEPART_JITTER_MINUTES = 15`) and minute-materialization (LP-11) + collapse toward "all at once" if minutes are batched per frame. + +The V11 pass: raise the per-frame movement budget so feet keep up with the clock at 50× (advance +multiple waypoints per frame when the delta warrants, still clamped per segment so no overshoot), make +every minute-cadence consumer loop over crossed minutes, and extend the W10 speed-invariance determinism +suite to assert **byte-equal state after identical tick counts at 1× / 10× / 50× and mixed schedules** — +the speed knob must stay invisible to the sim. This is the "make 50× play nice" work the maintainer +asked for, made concrete. + +--- + +## Appendix — session numbers (the round-4 baseline) + +Seed 20260719, 12 houses / 28 residents / 14 businesses (4 generic + bookstore, supermarket ×2, +construction site, auto repair, bakery, bar, beach + full civic set), booted from asset v137.0; +~83 in-game hours observed (ticks 7 → 90) at 1×/4×/8×, tracer active throughout. + +- Sprite audit: **all zero, every sample**.

From b0ea2a53735e9b8650f242f39d6c15ae73bc48e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauricio Fernandes Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 20:27:12 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 02/19] V8: sprite hardening & observation keepers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Commit the movement tracer (TestHarness): per-frame state timelines, breadcrumbs, and anomaly detection (teleport/disembark/renderJump/stuck/ overlap/spriteAudit); activityCensus; startTrace/traceReport/etc. - Definitive orphaned-sprite sweep (MainScene M2): every created person/ vehicle sprite is registered and reconciled per in-game minute against Field's live lists — a sprite exists iff its entity is live. New countOrphanSprites() feeds auditSprites().orphanSprites. - forceEvent routes invoke signals through City (M2): extracted consumeResultSignals from handleTick; new City.forceEventAndConsume so a forced crime files a real incident (the raw invoke dropped every signal). - Teleport classifier: the by-design car-exit sync is 'disembark', so a real 'teleport' means a bug and alerts at zero noise. Person.getSpeed() keeps the threshold honest ahead of V10 per-kind speeds.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The audit found every trip was a car trip spawning at the person's HOME regardless of where they stood: a woman out walking would walk home, board a car parked at her own door, drive zero metres, and get out. Three fixes in City.startCommute: - Origin truth: the car spawns on the road nearest the BODY (adjacent road if at a building, else Field.nearestRoadTile of the pixel position; body fallback for road-less worlds) — never the person's distant home. - Walk vs drive: trips within WALK_COMMUTE_MAX_TILES (12) are walked; the car is reserved for real commutes. - No zero-length drive: origin road == destination road → walk. Plus Person.setAmbulatory clears the stale wander path on an ambulatory action's end, killing the tracer's 'sleepwalk' (the body finishing a stale stroll leg for minutes after the action was over). Tests: walk-short + origin-truth in commute.test.ts; the 148-car W8 test made faithful (re-plan while genuinely far from home).

Running was purely nominal: a fleeing suspect, a jogger, and an evening stroller all moved at one fixed walk speed. Person now maps its authored ambulatory kind to a real speed (stroll 0.9x, jog 1.6x, run 2.2x), and the police pursuit gets a premium (chase 2.5x) so an officer visibly CLOSES on a fleeing suspect. City derives the kind each minute from the active action (chasing_a_suspect -> chase). M6 — the chase resolves PHYSICALLY, not by a dice roll. A suspect could be "caught" while the officer was across town. Now City.resolveChase checks co-location: an on-duty police officer in the suspect's own street cell (V2's local co-location, closed by the M5 chase premium) is a catch; otherwise the suspect outran them and got away (the impunity path). The flee action's duration is the chase time, so no insta-catch. The off-map generator keeps its abstract roll (LogicalWorld.resolveChase) — no sprites off-map, the sanctioned seam. Tests: locomotion-speed ordering; a distant officer does not catch (evaded, not arrested); the arrest ceremony now catches via co-location.

Venue-located actions (shops, cafes, gyms…) get a default independence floor (VENUE_INDEPENDENCE_AGE = 8) even without an explicit value; job_hunting is explicitly 18+. School (a `building` location) is unaffected — children still walk to school. - Validator: minAge is a non-negative number; ACTION_KEYS + fixture. Upkeep folded in: regenerated simulation-relationships.md (V9's hosting_a_friend_visit bumped the action count — the Windows docs:sim env syntax had silently no-op'd); re-baselined the generation op-counts for the intentional V9/V3 behavior shift (fewer visit evals, +context builds from the age check). Tests: a toddler can't visit a venue or do an 18+ errand; an 8-year-old clears the venue floor but not the errand; an adult does both.

First, some context. This is not your average sim city clone. It's heavily focused on person simulation, down to individual actions and lore generation, heavily inspired by Dwarf Fortress. + +You've just read the past simulation-aliveness iterations. Keep in mind all of that has already been done, though evaluating how well it was done, how it works, and if there are gaps these documents did not foresee are all pieces I'd consider part of our effort here today. Another thing I think we can call part of this effort would be re-doing , or rather doing a new spiritual successor iteration of the observation portion of docs\tasks\117-observation-and-balancing-pass_DONE.md with much more detail and not on a headless environment (use the Claude Chrome Extension instead to access the game on my Chrome Browser). And then of course there is analyzing the code and the simulation design conceptually. To be clear, the main reason I'm asking for this is so that you may find weird stuff in the simulation that is not working properly or just doesn't work well the way it was designed. Gaps that still make this feel more like disconnected stuff then a rich sim. I would like you to essentially observe the day to day of the simulation looking for these gaps. Look at people behavior, routines, their work, looking for jobs flow, their interactions with their families, etc, etc, etc. Some examples for you to understand the kind of scenario we are looking to evaluate: If someone is doing an outdoors activity, like walking, and the time for her job shift to begin comes around, do they neatly spawn their car from where they are, or do they flicker, or go to their home to then go to their job? Try to list other non standard-path examples. Please do both free observation passes on an unaltered game with the clock running, to catch general easy to observe stuff and also build a list filled with the kind of examples I just gave you to see if they happen. For this specific examples pass, you may need to improve our debug harnesses. For example, for testing a scenario where we want to observe a sick person going to seek medical help on a hospital, you'll need the ability to place a house with a sick person and a hospital, with and without doctors, to observe the scenario as time passes (which I believe you can already throttle if needed). Make this a detailed investigation session. You could say I'm asking you to gauge if we need a simulation-aliveness 4, and what would go into it. simulation-aliveness round 1 was focused on generating coherent offline assets (the people pool), and 2 and 3 were more focused on coherence of people's brains, I'd like round 4 to focus on the visual player experience, the real time sim. I wanna know what it looks like. Does it still feel like people go to places they shouldn't be? Do people walk when it makes more sense to take cars, or take cars when it makes more sense to walk? Do the spawn cars but then ignore the car and walk around? Do people stay stuck walking in a particular part of the map (it looks like wandering people largely concentrate between the entrances of public service buildings for some reason)? Do people leave the house when it makes no sense to? Do people execute actions that should be work or house only on the streets?
