Last visited: 2026-10-02T04:44:00Z
Status: In Progress

## Current Tasks
- [x] Step 1: Record dispatch in DISPATCH.md
- [x] Step 2: Establish BRIEFING.md
- [x] Step 3: Read and analyze ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md (§2026-10-02T02:00:04Z) and orchestrator handoff.md
- [x] Step 4: Phase A — Scope, Timeline & Provenance Audit (R1 - R5 verification)
  - [x] R1: `data/map_styles.db` verified: 30 styles, 600 tiles, 90 props, WAL journal, 0 FK errors; Python and JS catalogs 100% synced.
  - [x] R2: `client/webapp/assets/map/styles/` verified: 30 subdirs, 360 valid PNGs, 0 zero-byte files, 120 normal maps with Blue mean > 246.0 (avg 250.87 > 128.0 target).
  - [x] R3: Client engine `TileMapRenderer.js` and `BiomeTextureManager.js` verified: 16x16 chunk OffscreenCanvas baking, authentic texture pattern binding, 2.5D extrusion, deterministic decal props, graceful procedural fallback, RAM budget <= 16.5 MB.
  - [x] R4: Server binary serializer (`map_binary_serializer.py`) and generator (`wilderness_map_generator.py`) verified: 1-30 biomes, fixed 16-byte header, compact 1 byte/tile format, backward compatible with legacy biomes.
  - [x] R5: Verified tests and inspected real browser screenshots across multiple biomes (`biome_1_unobstructed.png`, `biome_2_unobstructed.png`, `biome_30_unobstructed.png`, `biome_3_independent_render.png`).
- [x] Step 5: Phase B — Cheating & Facade Forensics (Stubs, hardcoded returns, tautologies, hygiene check)
  - [x] Zero tautological assertions found in test suites.
  - [x] `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict` returned ZERO Hard Cap violations.
- [/] Step 6: Phase C — Independent Test Execution
  - [x] Pytest suite 1: `pytest tests/unit/test_map_styles_db.py tests/unit/test_map_styles_catalog_sync.py tests/unit/test_map_style_assets_integrity.py tests/e2e/test_30_biomes_generation_e2e.py tests/unit/test_wilderness_map_generator.py -v` -> 314 / 314 PASSED.
  - [x] Node test: `node tests/unit/test_biome_texture_manager.js` -> 8 / 8 SECTIONS PASSED.
  - [x] Node challenger stress tests: all 4 suites PASSED.
  - [/] Adversarial pytests running in background (task-110).
- [ ] Step 7: Final report and verdict in handoff.md and send_message to caller
