# BRIEFING — 2026-10-02T06:58:00Z

## Mission
Perform comprehensive review and adversarial stress-testing of client/web_pc/ (FreeExile Dedicated PC Desktop Full-Screen Web Client) following Iteration 3 remediation, checking layout, controls, HUD, hygiene, 0 console errors, 9-language i18n, zero mobile regressions, and integrity.

- Milestone: PC Desktop Client Milestone
- Instance: 1 of 1

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Review-only — do NOT modify implementation code
- Check for integrity violations (hardcoded test returns, facades, shortcuts, fake logs)
- Full verification: linters, unit tests, E2E tests, browser diagnostics
- Zero mobile regressions on client/webapp/

## Review Scope
- **Files to review**: client/web_pc/*, tools/serve_web_pc.py, tests/unit/*, tests/e2e/*
- **Interface contracts**: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md, c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_16\PROJECT.md
- **Review criteria**: R1 Layout, R2 PC Controls, R3 Grimdark Action HUD, R4 Core Engine & Zero Mobile Regression, Hygiene & Linters, Integrity

## Review Checklist
- **Items reviewed**:
  - `client/web_pc/index.html` (Layout, base href, HUD, DOM, i18n)
  - `client/web_pc/css/pc_main.css`, `pc_hud.css`, `pc_modals.css` (Stylesheets, relative asset paths, dual docking)
  - `client/web_pc/js/pc_input_controller.js` (Kinematics, Raycasting, W decoupling, Flasks, Dodge)
  - `client/web_pc/js/pc_hud_controller.js` (Orbs, telemetry, skill slots, minimap)
  - `client/web_pc/js/pc_main.js` (Orchestration, tooltips, hotkeys, reactive i18n, chat)
  - `tools/serve_web_pc.py` (Local test server on port 8089, multi-prefix asset fallback routing)
  - Test suites: unit, layout, mobile config, Playwright E2E
- **Verdict**: APPROVE
- **Unverified claims**: None (all claims verified with live commands)

## Attack Surface
- **Hypotheses tested**:
  - Relative asset path evaluation in CSS (`url('../../webapp/assets/...')`) -> Verified loaded (1024x1024 decoded).
  - Multi-prefix fallback routing on `serve_web_pc.py` -> Tested 11 URL permutations, all returned 200.
  - Zero mobile chassis leakage on fresh localStorage (`fe_sim_mode`) -> Verified 0 .iphone-frame.
  - Key W movement decoupling vs Martial Skill 2 -> Verified W excluded from `window.keys` and fires skill.
  - Rapid 9-language cycling without page reload -> Verified DOM updates with `__cycleNavCount == 1`.
  - Non-existent file 404 behavior -> Verified clean 404 error without server crash.
- **Vulnerabilities found**: None.
- **Untested angles**: None within client/web_pc review scope.

## Key Decisions Made
- Confirmed resolution of Iteration 2 asset 404 bug by worker_iter3.
- Verified 100% test pass (45/45 unit, 19/19 E2E, 97/97 regression unit).
- Issued unconditional APPROVE verdict.
