C's command.c 317-338 has a `when '+'` arm in the main command switch,
under #ifdef MASTER, that toggles wizard mode. The port had no '+' at
all, so the key fell through dispatchKey's default to illcom and
answered "illegal command '+'".
The password half of that arm was dropped deliberately (wizard mode is
ROGUE_WIZARD configuration) and is recorded in ARCHITECTURE.md section
9. The leave half was lost silently, and it is a different decision: it
does not touch the password machinery. The substantive part of it is
turn_see(TRUE) rather than the flag -- wizard sight draws every monster
the hero cannot see, so without the re-hide there is no way back to
normal visibility, and clearing the flag alone would leave the screen
lying.
New wizardToggleCommand, registered in commandHandlers between '^' and
Escape, which is C's own switch order. Because C's arm sits in the main
switch rather than the `if (wizard) switch (ch)` sub-switch that
wizardCommand ports, it is reachable whether or not wizard is set, so
the non-wizard case was a divergence too. It resolves the way the
dropped passwd() forces: a password check that no longer exists can
never succeed, so the else arm is what C did on a wrong answer -- the
message "sorry", with no prompt, since nothing typed into one could
change the outcome, and none of the noscore/turn_see(FALSE) bookkeeping
of C's unreachable success branch. The choice is stated in the doc
comment and in section 9.
Two tests drive '+' through g.dispatch. The wizard one spawns a phantom
(ISINVIS straight from the monster table, so seeMonst is false and it is
on screen only because wizard sight put it there), asserts the
precondition, then asserts the flag cleared, SenseMonsters cleared, the
cell restored to the map char under the monster with standout off, the
exact message text, and After false. Deleting the turnSee(true) call
fails it on all three visibility assertions. The other pins "sorry".
No RNG call is added: the turn_off arm of turn_see never reaches rnd.
TestSeedCompatItemTables is green against the untouched golden.
createObj stored the raw 0-f nibble as Object.Which with no bounds
check, so wizard mode -> C -> / -> f made a wand numbered 15 against a
14-entry table and panicked in fixStick. Input outside 0-f overshoots
much further rather than going negative: readchar returns a byte, so
the int(ch-'a') + 10 branch is byte arithmetic and wraps, giving 234
for 'A' and 202 for '!', and panicked the same way. C's create_obj()
was equally unchecked, but its consumers were either switches (defined
for any value) or static-array reads past the end (undefined, and
survivable in practice). Since one game is now one process, the Go
panic kills the game outright and leaves the terminal in raw mode.
Reject at the two boundaries a bad Which can enter through. createObj
now refuses an out-of-range choice with a message drawn from C's own
type_name() vocabulary and adds nothing to the pack, a deliberate
divergence recorded in a comment because C had no defined behavior here
to be faithful to. Restore refuses a snapshot describing such an object
(ErrSaveCorrupt) rather than loading a game that would explode later. A
decoded snapshot is also the only source of a genuinely negative Which,
Which being a plain int off the wire, so it is what the Which >= 0 arm
of hasValidWhich defends against.
Behind those, whichLimit/hasValidWhich back defensive guards at every
dispatch the issue names: the quaffHandler/readHandler/zapHandler
accessors return no handler instead of indexing (for wands that is
exactly what non-MASTER C did, matching no case and still running
o_charges--), the callIt lore lookups, identifyType, armorClass for the
a_class[] reads, initWeapon against the missing init_dam[] row for
WeaponFlame, fixStick's ws_type[] read, and inventoryName and
objectWorth, hoisted so one check each covers the whole family of
per-kind name and appraisal tables. identifyType's bound is defensive
rather than live: readHandlers registers readIdentify only for the
identify scrolls, all of which sit inside the shorter idType table.
No in-range input changes behavior and no guard consumes a random
number: the rejection precedes every rnd() call. TestSeedCompatItemTables
stays green untouched.
New game/wizard_test.go covers the exact reproducer, a rejection sweep
over every indexed kind including the wrapped values from input outside
0-f, an acceptance sweep proving valid choices still build the right
item, one no-panic test per guarded family, the fixStick crash site, the
corrupt-save rejection over both the wrapped values and a negative
Which, and a check that whichLimit still agrees with the table sizes.
Each guard was confirmed load-bearing by reverting it and watching the
test fail.
TODO.md records the step; Next Step is deliberately left alone, since
this arrived out of band via an issue.
