Beacon out screen adjustment

assistant (2026-08-07T21:10:29)

<details><summary>reasoning</summary>

The user (OG_Arist0tle) is asking about “Beacon out screen adjustment” — this is in the Discord thread about Spire-Defense. Let me think about what this could mean.

Spire-Defense is an idle/tower defense game. “Beacon out screen adjustment” could refer to:

  1. The screen that shows when a beacon is “out” (knocked out, destroyed, expired)
  2. The “outscreen” UI for beacons
  3. The beacon UI panel that appears when it goes out of range / dies

Let me load the relevant skills and check the codebase to understand what’s being asked.

The triggering message ID is 1535455094965936138 which is the thread itself. Let me first load the relevant skills (spire-defense, idle-game-design-canon) and check the current state of the code.

Per my memory:

  • Spire-Defense at /home/og/idle-games/spire-defense
  • Ask the FRAMING question before model/math
  • OG’s terse one-line instructions can be ambiguous — pressure-test before action
  • Always end replies with a clickable test URL (HTTPS form), bump slug every turn

The instruction is super terse: “Beacon out screen adjustment”. This could mean:

  • A UI screen shown when a beacon goes out
  • The “out” screen for beacons (e.g., cooldown/expiry screen)
  • An “adjustment” to existing UI

Given the ambiguity, I should:

  1. First explore the codebase to understand the current “beacon out” screen
  2. Then ask OG the FRAMING question — what should this feel like? What kind of adjustment?

Actually, let me re-read my memory:

Universal meta-rule: ask the FRAMING question (“what should this feel like?”) BEFORE any model/math — defaulting to “compute the upper bound” without asking intent = bad math that breaks the feature (OG 2026-08-06).

So I need to ask before computing. But first I need to understand what exists. Let me check the codebase first, then ask the framing question.

Also need to load the relevant skills first:

  • idle-game-design-canon
  • spire-defense-autobuy-architecture
  • spire-defense-build-protocol
  • spire-defense-dev-menu-buttons

Let me load those and explore in parallel.

The user said “Beacon out screen adjustment” — that’s the Beacon Out modal (PrestigeManager.js:337-342 area). Let me orient myself before asking for clarification.

assistant (2026-08-07T21:10:39)

<details><summary>reasoning</summary>

OK, I have a good picture now. The “Beacon Out screen” is the modal that appears when the beacon dies or the player taps End Run. The HTML structure is hardcoded inline in PrestigeManager.js (lines 395-417 for the main modal HTML, and the stats block on lines 370-394). The user said “Beacon out screen adjustment” — this is a vague tuning/feedback message, not a concrete fix request.

I need to follow OG’s universal meta-rule: ASK THE FRAMING QUESTION FIRST. What should this feel like? What’s the adjustment — content, layout, color, spacing, copy? Don’t compute the upper bound.

Also relevant: my memory notes say “Stop on ‘stop’ + incremental updates” — when OG says stop, surface snapshot with next-step directions. But this isn’t a stop; it’s a vague adjustment request. The right move is the framing question.

And “Implication-rule ambiguity for terse tuning instructions” — OG’s terse one-line instructions can be ambiguous. I should pressure-test before action: ask “do you mean [specific thing]?”

So I should use clarify() with the framing question. The Beacon Out screen has several surfaces:

  • Header (“🕯 Beacon Out“ + gems earned line)
  • Run Stats block (Tier, Wave Reached, Best Wave, Enemy Kills per weapon, Light Recovered, Oil, Gems)
  • Buttons (Begin New Run, Upgrade Shop, Gem Market, Change Tiers, Profile)

“Adjustment” could mean any of:

  1. Layout/spacing — vertical spacing, padding, max-width, alignment
  2. Stats block — add/remove rows, change labels, reorder
  3. Colors/typography — text sizes, opacities, contrast
  4. Copy/wording — header text, “Enemy Kills” label, “Light Recovered” etc.
  5. Buttons — add/remove/reorder, change labels, change colors

I shouldn’t guess. Ask the framing question. Let me offer the main categories.

Wait — I should also check if OG has a screenshot or context I missed. Let me check the latest messages in this thread.

assistant (2026-08-07T21:10:45)

The user’s last message is a vague title: “Beacon out screen adjustment”. This is a request that needs clarification before I can do any work — there’s no specific change described. Let me ask before doing anything else.

Beacon out screen is the modal at PrestigeManager.js:_showRunEndModal (lines 280-417). It currently has:

  • Header: “🕯 Beacon Out”
  • Subtitle: “Oil + upgrades carry over to the next run.”
  • Optional “Gems earned: +N” line
  • Run Stats block: Tier, Wave Reached, Best Wave, Enemy Kills (per-weapon rows), Light Recovered, Oil, Gems
  • 5 buttons: Begin New Run / Upgrade Shop / Gem Market / Change Tiers / Profile

OG says just “Beacon out screen adjustment” — could be layout, copy, stats block, button placement, font sizes, alignment, spacing, anything.

Per my memory: stop on “stop” + incremental updates, and on ambiguous terse tuning instructions pressure-test before action. This is terse and ambiguous. Let me ask.

assistant (2026-08-07T21:12:06)

Got it. Add a “Killed by:” line above Run Stats showing what killed the beacon. Let me first check the framing question — this needs a design decision before code:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:12:16)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:12:27)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:12:28)

Let me find where beacon HP is actually decremented by enemies:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:12:29)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:12:31)

Good — damageBeacon emits BEACON_DEAD with empty payload. The cleanest path: stash the “killed by” enemy at the moment of death, before the BEACON_DEAD payload leaves GameState. The candidates are:

  1. The enemy that put the killing blow on the beacon — but beacon damage is accumulated across multiple enemies per tick (pendingDmg), and a single tick can kill it. There’s no single “killing enemy.” We’d have to attribute proportionally or to “the last enemy to touch it before death.”

  2. The enemy archetype that dealt the most damage to the beacon in this run — track cumulative damage-per-archetype, attribute the kill to the top one.

  3. The archetype composition at the moment of death — “Boss + Splitter” or “3 ranged enemies.”

Let me check how OG would probably want this framed:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:12:33)

The framing question matters here. There’s no single “enemy that killed the beacon” — beacon damage is accumulated per tick from pendingDmg across multiple enemies. Let me ask about the framing before designing:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:13:17)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:13:20)

The cleanest implementation: track which enemy dealt the killing blow in WaveManager._applyBeaconDamage (where the accumulated pendingDmg is applied) — at the moment next.lte(0), the enemy that most recently contributed to pendingDmg is the killer.

Wait — damageBeacon emits BEACON_DEAD with empty payload {}. The death happens inside damageBeacon after pendingDmg is already aggregated and applied. By the time BEACON_DEAD fires, the per-enemy attribution info is gone. I need to capture the killer BEFORE damage is applied.

Let me also check how Beacon.damage works (since WaveManager routes through Beacon.damage):

assistant (2026-08-07T21:13:21)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:13:29)

Now I understand the architecture. The plan:

Where the killer is identified — WaveManager.update() (line 322-383). It loops enemies, accumulates pendingDmg per enemy with pendingByEnemy[enemy] map, then applies. The killer = the enemy that pushed HP to ≤0. I’ll attribute the killing blow to the enemy who contributed the most damage on the killing tick (and if there are multiple ticks that took HP from >0 to 0, the last-tick top contributor). Actually, since damage accumulates per tick and applies once, the simplest is: the enemy that pushed HP below zero on the killing tick — but with shield absorption, the math gets tricky.

Simpler approach for “killed by:” display: capture the enemy that dealt the most damage to the beacon across the entire run (killsByEnemyBeacon map keyed by archetypeName, similar to killsByWeapon). Then the line is just Killed by: <archetype> where archetype is the top contributor. This is honest, simple, single-source-of-truth.

But OG specifically chose: “just the archetype that dealt the last hit, even if it wasn’t alone” — so they want last-hit attribution, not top-contributor. Let me design accordingly:

The plan:

  1. Track per-enemy contributions on the killing tick — at the moment we apply pendingDmg, capture each enemy’s share (enemy.dmgThisTick) in WaveManager’s loop.
  2. At the moment HP crosses zero — record the highest-damage contributor’s archetypeName into state.state.lastBeaconKiller.
  3. Beacon.damage path: if shielded, the absorbed amount goes first and HP may not drop. Only record killer when HP actually crosses zero (which happens in state.damageBeacon when next.lte(0)).
  4. Display in modal above Run Stats.

But — there’s a subtlety. The user said “the archetype that dealt the last hit, even if it wasn’t alone.” That’s literally: in the final tick of damage (the tick that pushed HP from >0 to 0), which enemy contributed most to that tick? That’s “last-hit attribution” and what I described above. Good.

Even simpler design — since damage is accumulated across all enemies then applied at once:

  • Track beaconDamageByEnemy map keyed by enemy.instanceId (each enemy has a unique id) with cumulative damage.
  • At HP-cross-zero moment: top contributor’s archetype wins.

This is more robust because it handles multi-tick deaths correctly (e.g. a Sapper drains beacon slowly over multiple ticks, the last tick that pushed it to 0 still has the Sapper contributing).

Actually the simplest and most accurate interpretation of “the archetype that dealt the last hit, even if it wasn’t alone”:

  • At the moment the beacon dies, find the enemy that was contributing the most damage to pendingDmg this tick, and use its archetype.

Let me code this. I’ll:

  1. Track per-tick contributions in WaveManager.update() (one tick is the unit of attribution).
  2. On the tick where HP crosses zero, record lastBeaconKiller = topContributor.archetypeName to state.state.
  3. In PrestigeManager._showRunEndModal, read state.state.lastBeaconKiller and display above Run Stats.

Let me also think about migration: old saves don’t have this field. If lastBeaconKiller is undefined, show nothing (or “Unknown” — let me ask OG).

Actually I should not over-design. Let me just ship the simplest correct version: track per-tick top contributor, record on death, display in modal. If field is undefined for old saves, the line is omitted (don’t show). Save the migration as needed.

Let me write the plan to a TODO file and confirm with OG before patching:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:06)

Good. Let me write the TODO file and start the work:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:07)

Let me read the actual WaveManager loop more carefully and the existing newRunStarted reset:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:08)

Let me find the newRunStarted reset and the default state init:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:10)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:11)

Now I see the 3 writers for runStats. I need to add lastBeaconKiller to all 3 plus the migration. Let me also find the deserialize fallback:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:12)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:14)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:16)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:18)

Good — both load paths call _migrateRunStats(). So I can add lastBeaconKiller migration to that one function and both load paths get it. Clean. Now let me also check how the migration handles lastBeaconKiller placement. Since the field is state.state.lastBeaconKiller (not inside runStats), I need a separate migration. Let me check if there’s a _migrateState function:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:27)

I see the deserialize fallback for runStats is at line 851-858 (one of the 3 writers). Now I have the full picture. The plan:

lastBeaconKiller lives at state.state.lastBeaconKiller (top-level, not inside runStats — it’s a “what killed me” stat, conceptually distinct from kill attribution).

Let me now look at how the modal displays the kill stats for the visual pattern to match:

Now let me start patching. First, the WaveManager attribution:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:30)

Now I need to also reset lastBeaconKiller on newRunStarted:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:32)

Now GameState.js — add default + migration:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:34)

Now the migration for old saves:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:37)

Now the deserialize fallback (one of the 3 writers — currently at line 851-858). It only falls back if raw.runStats is missing; I need to also fall back lastBeaconKiller. Let me add it there too:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:40)

Wait — there’s a subtle ordering issue. The migration in _migrateRunStats() checks === undefined. If I seed ?? null BEFORE migration runs, the migration’s check === undefined is false (it’s null), and it won’t overwrite. Good. But if I save a value (e.g. “boss”) and reload, raw.lastBeaconKiller = “boss”, gs.state.lastBeaconKiller = “boss”, migration’s === undefined is false, it doesn’t overwrite — “boss” survives. Good.

But what if I save null (e.g. fresh state, mid-run, no death yet)? Then raw.lastBeaconKiller = null, the ?? null doesn’t overwrite, gs.state.lastBeaconKiller = null, migration’s === undefined is false, doesn’t overwrite. Good.

If I save undefined (impossible via JSON, but defensively)? raw.lastBeaconKiller = undefined → gs.state.lastBeaconKiller = null (via ??), then migration’s === undefined is false (it’s null), doesn’t overwrite. The field stays null. The modal hides the line. Good.

Now let me check the testSave.js to make sure it doesn’t break:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:43)

testSave doesn’t write lastBeaconKiller. Migration handles this — undefined → null. Good.

Now update PrestigeManager to render the line. Let me find the right spot in the modal:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:48)

Now insert killerLine in the modal body and add the KILLER_LABEL constant:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:49)

I noticed the patch tool dropped the candle emoji (🕯) — let me fix that:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:53)

Good. Now add the KILLER_LABEL constant at the top of the file:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:14:55)

Now let me also verify the EnemyArchetype.js to confirm I have all the right names:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:12)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:14)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:15)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:17)

Confirmed archetypes: common, strong, hybrid, ranged, boss, splitter. The 6th I added was “sapper” — let me confirm it exists:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:21)

All 7 archetypes (common, strong, hybrid, ranged, boss, splitter, sapper) match my KILLER_LABEL map. Good. Now let me run the existing test suite to make sure I haven’t broken anything:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:22)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:23)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:25)

Let me look at one of the existing kill-related verify scripts to model mine after it:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:26)

Good — the pattern uses Playwright + a server. Let me also look at a simpler test that doesn’t need the full server setup to model mine:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:28)

I see — tests need a server running. Let me check if one is already running and check if my changes will pass the headless smoke test first. Let me first verify the syntax of my changes (the patch tool’s lint already passed, but let me confirm with a quick parse):

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:30)

Syntax is clean. Let me check if the dev server is up:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:56)

Server is up. Now let me write the verify script. This needs to:

  1. Test the modal renders the “Killed by:” line for various killers
  2. Test the modal hides the line when lastBeaconKiller is null
  3. Test the migration seeds null for old saves
  4. Test the WaveManager attribution logic (top contributor wins)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:57)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:15:59)

Now I need to bump the BUILD_VERSION and run the verify:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:00)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:01)

The warning mentions a sibling subagent — I’ll check the file:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:02)

Good, my edit landed cleanly. Now let me run the verify:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:12)

Two issues:

  1. Splinter/splinter_2/splinter_3 are splinter-sub-archetypes — they’re behavior variants of splitter, not separate top-level archetypes that get attribution. My test was over-broad. Let me also check the count of 10.

  2. Test 5 failed because my deserialize test passed raw objects but didn’t include all required fields. GameState.deserialize expects a complete raw shape.

Let me check the splinter sub-archetypes and what the test needs:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:16)

So splinter, splinter_2, splinter_3 are all real archetypes that can deal beacon damage. My KILLER_LABEL map needs to cover them too. Let me also check the count more carefully — 10 archetypes total means the splinter cascade adds 3 more. Let me update the label map to cover all 10:

Looking at the existing entries: boss, sapper, splitter, hybrid, ranged, strong, common, splinter, splinter_2, splinter_3. Let me update the map:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:18)

Now fix the deserialize test. The issue is GameState.deserialize expects a complete raw shape with required fields. Let me check what fields are required:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:22)

OK so deserialize takes json (string) and calls JSON.parse(json). My test passed raw objects, not strings. Let me fix that test:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:26)

Now also fix the splinter coverage test — splinter_2 and splinter_3 should all map to ‘Splinter’:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:39)

Now also update the count assertion at line 1:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:42)

But the killerCases const is referenced before it’s declared (test 6 uses it, but the const is declared at line ~228 in the new ordering). Let me move the killerCases declaration earlier:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:45)

And remove the duplicate declaration in test 6:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:46)

Now run the verify again:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:49)

Two issues:

  1. Test 1 — the regex ^\s+(boss|sapper|splitter|ranged|hybrid|strong|common): doesn’t match splinter_2: because underscore isn’t in the regex char class. Wait, actually the regex is (boss|sapper|splitter|ranged|hybrid|strong|common) — these are full strings; it should match splinter_2 if splinter_2 were in the alternation. The issue is the alternation only has the 7 names, not the splinter cascade. Let me also fix the regex to include the splinter cascade.

  2. Test 6 — state.resource is not a function on my stub. Let me look at what the modal calls:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:16:53)

The modal calls this.state.resource('oil') and this.state.resource('gems'). But this is PrestigeManager, and state is the GameState. So it calls gameState.resource('oil') and gameState.resource('gems'). My stub doesn’t have these methods. Let me fix the stubs to expose resource() as a method:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:02)

Now apply the same stubResource fix to tests 7, 8, 9:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:04)

Now fix test 1’s regex to include splinter cascade names:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:05)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:08)

The format() call expects .lt (Decimal’s less-than method). My stub returns { toString: () => '0' } — that doesn’t have .lt. Let me check what format does:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:13)

format() needs .lt() and .toNumber(). Let me fix the stub to use real Decimals:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:23)

Same fix for tests 7, 8, 9:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:26)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:32)

Tests 1-9 all pass. Test 10 fails because beaconMaxHP is a Decimal from GameState, but my gs.state.beaconMaxHP.minus(495) assumes minus exists. Let me check what GameState’s beaconMaxHP actually is:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:34)

It IS a Decimal. So .minus should work. Wait — gs.state.beaconMaxHP.minus(495) should work. Let me see the actual error more carefully: “gs.state.beaconMaxHP.minus is not a function.” Maybe the default state’s beaconMaxHP isn’t a Decimal but a raw value? Let me check line 96:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:38)

It IS a Decimal. Let me check whether the test is using a fresh gs or a stale one. The issue is probably that the Decimal’s minus returns a new Decimal but then I’m trying to assign gs.state.beaconHP = gs.state.beaconMaxHP.minus(495) — wait, looking at my test code:

gs.state.beaconMaxHP = 500;
gs.state.beaconHP = gs.state.beaconMaxHP.minus(495);  // 5 HP left

Oh — I’m REASSIGNING gs.state.beaconMaxHP = 500 to a plain number 500, then calling .minus(495) on it. That’s the bug. Let me fix:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:39)

Same fix for test 11:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:41)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:46)

Tests 1-9 pass. Test 10 fails because bus.emit isn’t a function — my stubBus uses emit: () => {} but inside GameState the bus.emit is called on a different bus object. Let me look:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:48)

The bus reference in damageBeacon is this.bus. GameState was created with { bus }. But when I instantiated it new GameState({ bus }), the bus passed in is the EventBus from my test 10 setup. Let me check that the bus argument was passed correctly. In my test:

const gs = new GameState({ bus });

Yes, passed. But then the error says this.bus.emit is not a function — meaning this.bus is undefined or doesn’t have emit. Let me check GameState’s constructor:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:50)

The constructor signature is constructor(bus) — NOT constructor({ bus }). So my call new GameState({ bus }) passes the object as bus, and this.bus = { bus: <realBus> }. Then this.bus.emit doesn’t exist. Same issue for tests 3, 4, 5. Let me fix all of them:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:52)

5 instances. But tests 3, 4, 5 PASS — they don’t trigger damageBeacon so they don’t care about the bus. Tests 10, 11, 12 trigger the bus. Let me fix all 5 with replace_all:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:53)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:56)

Tests 1-12 all pass! Test 13 has two false regex matches. Let me look at the actual source to fix the regexes:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:57)

The text IS there. The regex is just too strict because of the comment between newRunStarted and the assignment, OR the indentation differs. Let me debug by looking at the actual structure:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:17:59)

My regex requires [\s\S]{0,500} between newRunStarted and lastBeaconKiller, but the path is much longer due to the comment block and the runStats reset between them. Let me look at where newRunStarted is:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:00)

Lines 191-233 = 42 lines between them. My regex allows 500 chars, so it should match. Let me test the regex directly. The issue is the multi-line [\s\S] doesn’t include newlines in the character class. Wait — [\s\S] does match newlines. Let me re-check the actual regex:

/newRunStarted[\s\S]{0,500}lastBeaconKiller\s*=\s*null/

The issue is newRunStarted matches bus.on('newRunStarted', — but there are TWO occurrences of newRunStarted in the file (line 191 and line 651 for enemySpawned). Let me verify:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:02)

Only one. So the regex should match. Let me debug it:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:12)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:16)

Indices are 9717 to 11801 = 2084 chars between them. My regex limit of 500 is too small. Let me increase to 5000:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:18)

Site 2 default regex probably needs more window too. Let me check the distance between runStats: { and lastBeaconKiller: in GameState:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:20)

Distance is 771 chars, regex window was 400. Let me bump to 1500:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:21)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:25)

All 13 sections pass. Let me clean up the “regex failed” detail since they no longer fail:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:26)

All assertions now pass cleanly. Let me also run a few other verify scripts to make sure I haven’t broken anything else:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:29)

Let me run a few more existing verifies to be safe:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:38)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:45)

Now let me commit. Per the build protocol, separate the concerns: the code change, the BUILD_VERSION bump, and the verify. Per rule 107: small commits, narrow patches. But the BUILD_VERSION bump is already bundled with the feature change in this case. Let me commit as one feature commit since this is a single coherent feature, then a separate BUILD_VERSION follow-up:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:50)

Per build protocol rule 107, let me commit in separate logical units. First commit: the code change (no BUILD_VERSION bump yet, that’s a separate commit). Second commit: BUILD_VERSION bump. Third commit: the verify script.

Actually, looking at the prior commits in the log (spire-defense: bump BUILD_VERSION to ranged-enemies-tier-ramp as a standalone post-commit), I should:

  1. Commit 1: feature code (WaveManager + GameState + PrestigeManager)
  2. Commit 2: BUILD_VERSION bump (the post-commit pattern)
  3. Commit 3: tests/killed-by-attribution-verify.mjs (the verify)

Wait — looking at the history more carefully:

75681ca spire-defense: bump BUILD_VERSION to killstats-buckets-migrated (post-commit of Beacon Out kill attribution)
271f4f3 spire-defense: add killstats-runstats-migration verify (Beacon Out kill attribution)
d048266 spire-defense: wire RUN_STATS_KILL_BUCKETS into consumers + render chain/missiles on Beacon Out
d2dddfe spire-defense: backfill killsByWeapon buckets on save-load (RUN_STATS_KILL_BUCKETS)

The pattern is:

  1. feature commits (1+)
  2. verify commit
  3. BUILD_VERSION post-commit bump

So my plan:

  1. Commit 1: feature code (WaveManager + GameState + PrestigeManager)
  2. Commit 2: verify script (the new test)
  3. Commit 3: BUILD_VERSION bump

Let me also include the .killed-by-line.md planning doc — it’s the session plan, useful as a future reference, similar to .tier2-milestones.md in the previous session.

Actually the planning doc is .killed-by-line.md (prefixed with . — gitignored-ish… actually git status shows it as untracked, meaning git does track it; just no commit yet). Let me check .gitignore:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:52)

.killed-by-line.md isn’t gitignored. Looking at the prior pattern, .tier2-milestones.md was committed too. I’ll include it. Actually, no — looking at git status, .killed-by-line.md is untracked. The previous session’s .tier2-milestones.md was tracked because the user committed it. Let me NOT commit the planning doc — it’s session-private. Leave it as untracked for OG to delete later.

Let me commit:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:54)

Hmm, src/core/build.js is also staged — I need to unstage it (it’s the BUILD_VERSION bump for the next commit):

assistant (2026-08-07T21:18:55)

Wait, the src/core/build.js still shows M — untracked change but unstaged. Good. Let me check:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:00)

Good — staged files are now just the 3 feature files. Let me commit:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:09)

Now commit the verify:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:11)

Now the BUILD_VERSION bump:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:15)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:16)

Now push:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:19)

Pushed. Let me also verify with one last sanity check on the live game to make sure nothing visually broke:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:23)

All green. Let me update todos:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:19:29)

Status: shipped + pushed (c047f5a).

What landed on Beacon Out:

Killed by: <Archetype> above the Run Stats block, showing what killed the beacon.

Attribution rule (per OG’s “last hit wins, even if it wasn’t alone”): on the tick HP crossed ≤ 0, the enemy with the highest damage contribution that tick wins. So “Killed by: Boss” even if 2 Sappers were also draining.

Edge cases:

  • Shield absorbed the killing blow → no line (per OG hide-if-no-contribution)
  • No enemy at spire when death fires → no line
  • Legacy save (pre-this-feature) loads → no line (migration seeds null)
  • Unknown archetype in future → falls back to raw name (no undefined rendered)

3 commits pushed:

Reload on the Beacon Out screen after a death — the line shows above Run Stats.

Not seeing the stat

[Image attached at: /home/og/.hermes/image_cache/img_8eb1842b3b51.jpeg] [screenshot]

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:35)

I see — the screenshot shows Beacon Out with everything else populated, but no “Killed by:” line between “Gems earned: +16.6” and “RUN STATS”. So either:

  1. The line is hidden because lastBeaconKiller is null (no enemy at spire when death fired, OR all damage was shield-absorbed)
  2. The save was loaded from before this shipped and the migration didn’t fire
  3. iOS Safari is loading cached JS — the build is in flight but the page didn’t reload

Most likely #3: iOS Safari aggressively caches and the player needs a hard reload, OR the build is stale on the server. Let me check both quickly and rule them out:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:41)

Server has the new code. So this is either a stale-cache on iOS Safari (very common for service-worker’d games) OR the attribution logic itself isn’t firing in the live game.

Let me check the latter — could it be that no enemy is at the spire when the beacon dies? Let me reason: Tier 10, wave 5631, Gems earned +16.6 — this player was killing enemies. But the beacon dies from accumulated damage. Let me check: does damageBeacon actually emit BEACON_DEAD? And does the WaveManager.update() attribution fire on the right tick?

Wait — I should re-examine my attribution logic. There’s a timing issue: state.damageBeacon() is called from Beacon.damage(), and BEACON_DEAD is emitted INSIDE damageBeacon. But the WaveManager.update() check if (this.beacon.getHP().lte(0)) happens AFTER the call. Let me trace:

  1. WaveManager.update() accumulates pendingDmg from each enemy, populating tickDmgByEnemy
  2. Calls beacon.damage(new Decimal(pendingDmg))
  3. Beacon.damage() absorbs through shields, then calls state.damageBeacon(amount) for the remainder
  4. state.damageBeacon() emits BEACON_DEAD if HP ≤ 0
  5. Back in WaveManager.update() — tickDmgByEnemy still has the data, beacon.getHP() is now ≤ 0
  6. Top contributor attribution fires → writes to state.state.lastBeaconKiller

But wait — between steps 4 and 6, BEACON_DEAD fires. What listens to BEACON_DEAD? PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead() reads state.state.lastBeaconKiller… but PrestigeManager doesn’t read it, it only RENDERS the modal. The modal is rendered when the player opens Beacon Out. So no race there.

But there’s another listener — _checkAutoRestart() in PrestigeManager and _onResumeIntoBeaconOut() and _onDead() in Beacon. None of them touch lastBeaconKiller. Good.

So the logic should fire. Let me add a diagnostic to see what’s actually happening in the live game. Let me check the diagnostic logger:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:44)

Let me add a quick console.log diagnostic to see what’s happening in the WaveManager attribution logic — or better, let me think about WHY it’s null in the live game.

Actually wait — I should check something more fundamental. Looking at the live game screenshot:

  • Wave 5631 in Tier 10
  • Gems earned: +16.6
  • Tier 10 with wave reached 5631

But Tier 10 doesn’t exist as a buildable tier — let me check the tier cap:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:46)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:49)

So spireHeight (tier index) can go up to 10 — state.state.spireHeight === 10 means tier 11 in 1-indexed display? Let me check:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:52)

OK so currentTier is a separate field from spireHeight. The modal correctly shows “Tier 10” via stats.tier ?? getCurrentTier(). Player has reached tier 10.

Now — back to the bug. Why doesn’t the line show? Three possibilities:

Hypothesis A: iOS Safari cache — the page hasn’t actually loaded my new JS. The player’s iPhone loaded the new HTML URL with ?v=killed-by-attribution-v1 but the JS modules might be cached by the service worker or by Safari’s module loader. Even with ?v= on the HTML, the imported modules (src/prestige/PrestigeManager.js?v=...) might be cached.

Wait — looking at the URL bar in the screenshot, it just says ogflow.taile970c7.ts.net. The ?v=killed-by-attribution-v1 query string is NOT visible. So either the URL was lost or it was never appended. Actually iOS Safari often strips query strings in the URL bar but keeps them — that’s normal behavior.

Let me look at the page to see what ?v= is being requested:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:56)

Good — index.html has cache-busting meta tags. But the dynamic imports use ?v=killed-by-attribution-v1 query strings — let me see how main.js does this:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:49:58)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:50:04)

build.js uses ?v=Date.now() for cache bust. But the other modules use static imports — those WILL be cached by the browser. So when OG reloaded, did Safari serve cached PrestigeManager.js, WaveManager.js, GameState.js?

The player would need to hard-reload to bust the cache for these static imports. But the bigger issue is: maybe my attribution logic just isn’t firing.

Let me think about what’s actually happening. The screenshot shows wave 5631 in tier 10 with 136,427 beacon pulse kills — this is a long-running late-game session. The beacon dies. My logic:

  1. WaveManager.update() accumulates pendingDmg from enemies at spire
  2. Calls beacon.damage()
  3. Reads beacon.getHP() after — should be 0
  4. Records top contributor

But what if there are NO enemies at the spire when the beacon dies? E.g. the player dies from a boss that’s far away but does massive burst damage via contact chunk on arrival? No, contact chunk fires when atSpire=true.

Wait — let me re-read my attribution block. The check is:

if (this.beacon && this.beacon.getHP().lte(0) && tickDmgByEnemy.size > 0)

tickDmgByEnemy is populated INSIDE the loop. But there’s a case I missed: if the beacon dies from a one-shot contact chunk (the enemy reaches the spire, deals its damage, dies immediately). In that case, the enemy has _reachHandled=true on this tick, so tickDmgByEnemy DOES get populated.

What if the beacon dies from DOT / DoT? Looking at the enemies… no DoT. Just tickAura and tickContactDPS. Both populate tickDmgByEnemy.

Hmm. Let me actually check whether the dev server is serving the new code:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:50:08)

Good — the server has my code. So the issue must be either cache or the attribution itself.

Let me look at this from another angle. The player reloaded with ?v=killed-by-attribution-v1 BUT the static imports use the URL as-is. So import('./wave/WaveManager.js') resolves to /src/wave/WaveManager.js — no query string. iOS Safari might serve the cached version.

Looking at the URL pattern in the verify script: URL = 'http://localhost:8768/index.html?v=killed-by-attribution-v1' and inside page.evaluate, we do await import('/src/prestige/PrestigeManager.js') — that’s the bare path, no query. Same as the running game.

But the verify passed. The server has the new code. The question is: did the player’s Safari actually fetch the new WaveManager.js?

Let me add a console.log diagnostic in the attribution block — and bump the build version again so OG can verify it’s the new code:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:50:18)

Let me think more carefully. There’s actually a subtle bug possibility I missed.

Wait — let me check the SHIELD path more carefully. Beacon.damage():

for (let i = 0; i < this.shieldLayers.length && amount.gt(0); i++) {
  const layer = this.shieldLayers[i];
  if (layer.lte(0)) continue;
  const absorbed = Decimal.min(layer, amount);
  this.shieldLayers[i] = layer.minus(absorbed);
  amount = amount.minus(absorbed);
}
if (amount.lte(0)) {
  this.bus.emit(EV.BEACON_DAMAGE, { amount: new Decimal(0), newHP: this.state.getBeaconHP() });
  return new Decimal(0);
}
return this.state.damageBeacon(amount);

If the shields absorb the killing blow, amount.lte(0) is true and we emit a damage event with HP UNCHANGED. Then return. So state.damageBeacon() is NOT called. BEACON_DEAD is NOT emitted. HP is NOT 0. My check beacon.getHP().lte(0) is false. No attribution.

But wait — that means the beacon DIDN’T die from the shield-absorbed damage. The beacon is still alive. OK, that’s correct behavior.

What about the case where the shield absorbs SOME damage but not all, so the beacon’s HP drops below 0? Then state.damageBeacon(amount) IS called with the unabsorbed remainder. HP → 0. BEACON_DEAD emitted. My check beacon.getHP().lte(0) is true. tickDmgByEnemy has the data. Attribution fires.

Hmm. Let me consider another angle: the test 10 in my verify passes. The attribution logic works in isolation. So either:

  1. The new code isn’t actually loaded on the player’s iPhone (cache)
  2. The attribution fires but the modal reads from a stale state
  3. There’s a real bug I haven’t identified

For #2 — when Beacon Out modal mounts, it reads state.state.lastBeaconKiller. If the player’s state has a null lastBeaconKiller (e.g. they died from a tick with no enemy at spire — possible if shields ate everything), the modal hides the line.

Wait — there’s a possibility I overlooked. Looking at WaveManager more carefully — what if the damageBeacon call happens but the BEACON_DEAD event triggers a state reset BEFORE the attribution check runs?

state.damageBeacon() does:

const next = Decimal.max(0, cur.minus(amount));
const actual = cur.minus(next);
this.state.beaconHP = next;
this.bus.emit(EV.BEACON_DAMAGE, ...);
if (next.lte(0)) this.bus.emit(EV.BEACON_DEAD, {});

Then returns. So when damageBeacon returns, the HP is 0 and BEACON_DEAD has been emitted. But the listeners of BEACON_DEAD include PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead() — which sets state.state.runEnded = true and… calls _showRunEndModal(earned). THE MODAL IS RENDERED.

But does it render BEFORE or AFTER my WaveManager check? Both run in the same JS task. WaveManager.update() returns, then the rAF tick continues. PrestigeManager’s listener is synchronous, so it runs before WaveManager.update() returns. But my attribution check is AFTER beacon.damage() which has ALREADY triggered the listeners.

Wait — that’s the bug. Let me re-check:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:50:29)

OK — the order is:

  1. WaveManager calls beacon.damage() — which internally calls state.damageBeacon()
  2. state.damageBeacon() emits BEACON_DEAD — synchronous listeners fire (PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead)
  3. PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead sets runEnded=true, calls _showRunEndModal(earned)
  4. _showRunEndModal reads state.state.lastBeaconKiller (which is STILL null at this point!)
  5. Modal HTML is built and rendered with NO killer line
  6. WaveManager continues — checks beacon.getHP() ≤ 0, writes lastBeaconKiller
  7. Modal is already built — too late!

This is the race. The modal renders before my attribution fires. The modal captures state.state.lastBeaconKiller as null, builds the HTML, displays it. The line never shows.

The fix is one of:

  1. Render the modal lazily — defer the modal read so it can re-check killer on next tick (ugly)
  2. Move the attribution check BEFORE the damage call — but then we don’t know if HP will cross zero (impossible to know)
  3. Defer the modal render — emit BEACON_DEAD with the killer info; the modal listens AFTER the attribution is set
  4. Capture the killer at the moment pendingDmg would kill — check if beaconHP - pendingDmg <= 0 BEFORE calling damage, attribute the killer, then call damage (which fires the listeners, which read the now-set lastBeaconKiller)

Option 4 is the cleanest. Let me restructure:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:50:32)

Now my verify tests 10, 11, 12 will still need to pass — but test 10 needs adjustment because the new check uses predictedDeath (HP before) instead of post-damage HP. Let me check the test:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:50:50)

All 13 still pass. Now let me also add a new test for the race-fix scenario — make sure the killer is set BEFORE the BEACON_DEAD listener fires. I’ll add a test that constructs a real PrestigeManager + WaveManager together and confirms the modal sees the killer:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:50:53)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:14)

Test 15 caught a bug. Even though the shield absorbs the killing blow (beacon survives), my prediction logic says “HP-before (5) - pendingDmg (5) <= 0 → predicted death → attribute boss.” But the shield prevents the actual death.

So my prediction is wrong when shields absorb. The shield absorption makes the actual damage to HP less than pendingDmg. My check beaconHPBefore.lte(pendingDmg) is “would the unshielded damage kill?” not “did the actual damage kill?”

Two options:

  1. Remove the shield case from prediction — only attribute when we can prove the damage actually killed (post-shield). This means checking AFTER the damage call. But then we hit the original race.
  2. Over-attribute when shields might absorb — accept the inaccuracy (line may show even when shield saved the beacon). Per OG “hide-if-shielded,” this is wrong.
  3. Defer the modal render — fire BEACON_DEAD with the predicted killer info, and have PrestigeManager defer rendering by one microtask. The attribution can fire after damage is applied, and the modal renders on the next tick.

Option 3 is the cleanest semantically. Let me re-check the original race analysis:

The original code:

if (pendingDmg > 0 && !this.devNoDamage) {
  if (this.beacon && typeof this.beacon.damage === 'function') {
    this.beacon.damage(new Decimal(pendingDmg));   // <- emits BEACON_DEAD inside, listeners run synchronously
  } else {
    this.state.damageBeacon(new Decimal(pendingDmg));
  }
}

// my attribution here (AFTER the damage call)
// too late — modal already rendered

The fix: move the damage call to a microtask so listeners fire on the next tick. OR: emit the killer via a NEW event before BEACON_DEAD.

Actually, simplest fix: emit BEACON_DEAD with the killer info, and have PrestigeManager use that. But then we change the event payload shape.

Cleaner fix: don’t fire the modal in the BEACON_DEAD listener — defer it. But that’s a bigger change.

Simplest fix that handles the shield case correctly: attribute ONLY when the actual damage (post-shield) would kill. Move the attribution to AFTER damage is applied, AND defer the modal render by one microtask:

Actually, wait. The simplest correct fix: use setTimeout(() => _showRunEndModal(earned), 0) in PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead so the modal renders on the next tick. Then WaveManager.update() finishes, the attribution fires, and the modal reads the correct state.

But that introduces a 0ms delay — visible flicker possible.

Better: use queueMicrotask or just check the timing more carefully. Actually, the cleanest fix is to compute predictedDeath using the shield-aware formula. Let me look at the shield absorption:

Beacon.damage(amount):

  • For each shield layer: absorbed = min(layer, amount); layer -= absorbed; amount -= absorbed;
  • After all layers: if amount.lte(0) → shield absorbed everything, no HP damage
  • Otherwise: state.damageBeacon(amount) → real HP damage

So actual HP damage = pendingDmg - totalShieldAbsorbed. I can predict:

  • If pendingDmg <= totalShieldCapacity → shield absorbs, beacon survives, no attribution
  • If pendingDmg > totalShieldCapacity → beacon takes pendingDmg - totalShieldCapacity damage, may or may not die

The prediction: if beaconHPBefore + totalShieldCapacity <= pendingDmg, then beacon dies.

But getting totalShieldCapacity from inside WaveManager is awkward — that’s Beacon’s internal state. Let me take a different approach.

Actually — let me just use the post-damage check, but defer the modal render. The simplest version: in _onBeaconDead, defer by Promise.resolve().then(() => _showRunEndModal(earned)) or queueMicrotask. The microtask runs after the current synchronous code (WaveManager.update()) finishes. So:

  1. WaveManager.update() accumulates pendingDmg
  2. Calls beacon.damage() → BEACON_DEAD fires synchronously
  3. PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead runs — sets runEnded=true, queues microtask to render modal
  4. WaveManager.update() finishes the kill attribution check (after damage call) → sets lastBeaconKiller
  5. Microtask runs → _showRunEndModal reads lastBeaconKiller (now set!) → renders modal with line

This is clean and correct. Let me revert my prediction logic and use the defer approach:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:17)

Now defer the modal render in PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:21)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:24)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:29)

Now I need to also defer _onResumeIntoBeaconOut for consistency — but that one is the resume-into-modal case where the BEACON_DEAD event already fired in a prior session, so no race there. Leave it alone.

Run the verify:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:36)

Two failures now:

  1. Test 9 — the queueMicrotask deferred the modal render, but my test reads the modal HTML BEFORE the microtask runs. I need to await the microtask.
  2. Test 14 — same issue.

Let me fix the test to await the microtask:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:41)

Now do the same for tests 7, 8 (which read the modal HTML immediately):

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:47)

Four call sites. Let me also update the test 14 race-fix test (line 291 is the test 14):

assistant (2026-08-07T21:51:50)

Tests 7 and 8 also need the await. Let me look:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:04)

Tests 7 and 8 have the same pattern. Test 9 already fixed. But tests 7 and 8 still passed in the previous run because their assertions just check for the absence of “Killed by:” — and when killer is null, the microtask still renders the modal but with no killer line. Let me check the actual test 7 result again:

Looking at the previous run output:

  • Test 7: ✅ PASS modal HTML does NOT contain “Killed by:” when killer is null
  • Test 8: ✅ PASS modal HTML does NOT contain “Killed by:” when killer is undefined (legacy)

These passed even without the await, because the modal HTML read AFTER pm._onBeaconDead() returned — but pm._onBeaconDead() synchronously queues a microtask. The microtask runs at the next JS-task boundary, which is after the await in the page.evaluate (because page.evaluate awaits the returned Promise). So by the time the return happens, the microtask has run and the modal is rendered.

Actually, looking at this more carefully: page.evaluate(async () => { ... }) returns the resolved value of the inner async function. The microtask queue runs BETWEEN microtask checkpoints (await statements). So:

  1. pm._onBeaconDead() queues microtask
  2. The microtask runs IMMEDIATELY (no await yet, so it runs at the next microtask boundary which is the await… or maybe synchronously?)

Wait — microtasks only run at the END of the current synchronous block. If there’s an await after, they run before the await. So:

pm._onBeaconDead();   // queues microtask
const html = document.getElementById('run-end-modal')?.innerHTML ?? '';
// microtask runs HERE (between sync statements? actually no, microtasks run after sync code completes)

Actually queueMicrotask schedules the callback to run AFTER the current task’s synchronous code, but BEFORE any other tasks. So in this case, the synchronous code reads the HTML BEFORE the microtask fires. That’s why test 9 (and test 14 race-fix) failed.

For tests 7 and 8, the assertion was that the line is NOT in the HTML. But the modal HTML was read BEFORE the modal was rendered — so document.getElementById('run-end-modal')?.innerHTML was '' (no modal yet). The assertion !''.includes('Killed by:') is TRUE. So the test passes vacuously.

This means test 7 and 8 are NOT actually testing what I think they’re testing. They’re testing “no modal exists, so no Killed by:” — which is true but useless. I need to fix them to also await the microtask:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:10)

Now also update test 14 (the race-fix integration test):

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:13)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:16)

All 15 sections pass. Let me also check that the existing tests 1-13 still pass:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:21)

55 PASS, 0 FAIL. Now let me run a few other verify scripts to make sure I haven’t broken anything:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:34)

Now I also need to think about _onResumeIntoBeaconOut — it’s called when loading a save that already has runEnded=true. This is the load-into-Beacon-Out path, NOT the death path. It calls _showRunEndModal(new Decimal(0)) synchronously. The killer should be set from the prior session’s lastBeaconKiller (loaded via migration). No race here because the death happened in the past. Good.

Let me also bump the BUILD_VERSION since the code changed:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:39)

Let me commit the race fix as one commit, then the verify updates:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:45)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:48)

Now bump BUILD_VERSION:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:51)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:54)

A sibling subagent bumped the build version. Let me re-read and update accordingly:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:52:57)

Sibling subagent shipped c860e49 while I was working. Let me see what that commit contains:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:53:00)

OK — sibling shipped c860e49 (rule 116: stun resistance) and bumped to splinter-sapper-stun-resistance. My race-fix builds on top. Now let me bump to my version:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:53:03)

assistant (2026-08-07T21:53:17)

Pushed. Now let me update the TODO file and reply to OG:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:53:22)

Now let me reply to OG. The user reported the bug as a screenshot — I should explain what the bug was and that the fix is live, and bump the slug:

assistant (2026-08-07T21:53:45)

Race condition. The first ship set lastBeaconKiller AFTER beacon.damage() returned, but PrestigeManager._onBeaconDead synchronously rendered the modal during the damageBeacon call — captured killer=null, line never showed. Fixed by deferring the modal render with queueMicrotask so the attribution block fires first.

Move the game version and frame count from the bottom left to the bottom right in two lines. Frame count should sit on top of game version when both are in the bottom right corner of the window.

Found the badge. It’s currently at bottom:4px; left:4px and combines build version + frame in a single text node. OG wants:

  1. Move from bottom-left → bottom-right
  2. Split into TWO lines
  3. Frame count on TOP, game version on BOTTOM

But wait — the current code uses a single text node ${BUILD_VERSION} · frame ${__frame}. And the dataset approach (document.body.dataset.buildVersion = BUILD_VERSION) means CSS can render them via ::before / ::after content — but the actual visible badge is the JS text node.

Let me check if there’s a CSS rule somewhere that styles dataset.buildVersion:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:03:42)

No CSS rule. The visible badge is the JS text node. So I need to refactor: replace single text with two <div> children (frame on top, version on bottom), move position to bottom-right.

Also: the dataset assignments are kept (orient log uses document.body.dataset.buildVersion), so I don’t touch those.

Let me check if there are other CSS rules using position: fixed; bottom for context (so I match the visual style):

assistant (2026-08-08T19:03:47)

Let me verify visually with Playwright. Open the page, wait for the badge to appear, screenshot:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:03:49)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:03:52)

Verified:

  • Badge at right:4px, bottom:4px (computed right=386, viewport=390 → 4px from right edge ✓)
  • Frame on top (“frame 32” first, “tier-distribution-t6-t10” below)
  • frameFirst: true confirms frame line is positioned above version line
  • 32px tall (two lines × 14px line-height + padding)

Let me also check the screenshot:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:04:00)

Now let me also run a quick smoke test to make sure I didn’t break anything:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:04:09)

Clean up the temp test file:

Now bump BUILD_VERSION and push:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:04:25)

Another sibling bump (tier-distribution-t6-t10). Let me update:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:04:27)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:04:31)

Pushed. Verified visually via Playwright:

  • Position: right:4px; bottom:4px ✓
  • Frame count on top, version below (frameFirst: true) ✓
  • Two-line layout, ~32px tall ✓

https://ogflow.taile970c7.ts.net/?v=badge-bottom-right-v1

Reload — bottom-right corner now shows frame <N> on top, <build> below.

Now on the play surface HUD add the current Tier before the Wave on the bottom left.

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:21)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:22)

Found it — Hud.js:46. Let me read the surrounding context:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:24)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:27)

Now I have the picture. The HUD has rows in order: Light, Height, Best, Next, Wave, Oil, Gems. There’s already a “Height” row showing state.state.spireHeight (the tier index). But the user wants a “Tier” display — and per the Beacon Out screenshot earlier, “Tier 10” was displayed using currentTier.

Wait — spireHeight vs currentTier — let me check which is which:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:35)

So spireHeight is a 0-indexed tier counter that increments on wave 5 (visually grows). currentTier is the 1-indexed tier the player chose. These are related but distinct. The Beacon Out modal shows stats.tier ?? getCurrentTier() which is the player’s chosen tier.

OG’s screenshot from earlier showed “Tier 10” on the Beacon Out modal. The HUD’s “Height” row shows spireHeight which is a different number. Let me check what value the player wants: the wording is “current Tier” — that’s currentTier (the player’s chosen tier), not spireHeight (visual growth).

So I need to add a NEW “Tier” row above “Wave” showing currentTier. But wait — the HUD already has “Height” which shows spireHeight. Let me think about what the user wants:

  • “Height” = spireHeight (visual growth index, 0-indexed)
  • “Tier” = currentTier (player’s chosen tier, 1-indexed)

Looking at this from the user’s perspective: the player chose Tier 10, played to wave 5631, and the Beacon Out modal correctly said “Tier 10”. But on the play surface HUD, there’s no obvious “you are in Tier X” indicator. The “Height” row is a visual growth thing — confusing. Adding “Tier: X” before “Wave: Y” makes the HUD read like a clean status panel.

Plan:

  1. Add <div id="hud-tier">Tier: <span data-field="tier">—</span></div> BEFORE the Wave row
  2. Add fields.tier.textContent = state.state.currentTier ?? 1; in refresh()
  3. Capture the field in the fields query

Let me also think about the “Height” row — it’s redundant if we have “Tier”. But removing it isn’t requested. Leave it alone.

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:39)

I forgot to actually change anything. Let me fix:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:44)

Now update the refresh logic:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:46)

Now I need to verify the fields object picks up the new tier field. Let me look at where it’s defined:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:47)

[This response was interrupted by a user correction.]

user (2026-08-08T19:05:47)

Stop

assistant (2026-08-08T19:05:49)

Stopping. Current state:

  • HUD code patched — src/ui/Hud.js adds a “Tier” row before “Wave” showing state.state.currentTier. Not yet verified or committed.

Nothing has been pushed. The change is in the working tree only — staged but uncommitted.

Pick up from here next turn with one of:

  1. Verify visually + commit + push
  2. Revert the HUD change
  3. Adjust the placement (e.g. show currentTier differently)

Look in the bottom left of my screenshot circled in green. That’s what I’m talking about. Not the top left.

Got it. The green-circled area is bottom-left — the RunControls overlay showing “Wave 87 | 96 kills | 23 alive”. You want the current Tier prepended there, before the Wave count.

Let me find that overlay:

Not here. Let me search broader:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:10)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:13)

Found it. The bottom-left overlay is rendered on the canvas in src/render/Renderer.js. Let me read the surrounding context:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:23)

Now I have it. The string is:

`Wave ${currentWave} | ${killsRemainingToWave} kills | ${enemies.length} alive`

OG wants Tier prepended: Tier ${currentTier} | Wave ${currentWave} | ...

But first, I need to revert the HUD change I made — that was wrong (top-left, not bottom-left). Let me revert Hud.js:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:29)

Hud.js reverted. Now the bottom-left canvas overlay in Renderer.js:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:35)

Let me verify visually with Playwright:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:41)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:46)

501 non-black pixels in the bottom-left text area — text is rendering. Let me look at the screenshot to confirm the format:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:07:53)

Let me run the smoke test to make sure nothing else broke:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:03)

Clean. Commit:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:07)

Both Renderer.js and Hud.js show as modified. Hud.js should be a no-op (revert only). Let me check:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:09)

Just whitespace differences from the patch tool. Let me revert Hud.js cleanly:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:16)

Only Renderer.js is modified. Let me commit and bump:

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:23)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:26)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:30)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:33)

assistant (2026-08-08T19:08:37)

Pushed.

Bottom-left now reads: Tier 5 | Wave 87 | 96 kills | 23 alive

(My earlier top-left HUD attempt was reverted — you corrected me to bottom-left.)
