Four documented claims had gone false and were actively misdirecting agents
working this repo; the independent reviewer on PR #9 repeated one of them
verbatim. Each claim was re-verified against the tree before rewriting.
MEMORY.md "Error handling" described C's exit() calls being unwound by a
gameEnd panic recovered in Run. Refactor step 8 removed that: gameEnd appears
nowhere in the sources, myExit (game/rip.go) restores the terminal via
Terminal.Fini and calls os.Exit(0), and Run() has no return values and never
returns. The section now states that model and its testing consequence -- a
death exits the test binary, which is why tests drive command() directly and
crash sweeps pin the hero with fortify() in game/run_test.go.
MEMORY.md "Linting" said approved exceptions are recorded in a "Repo-specific
exceptions" block in .golangci.yml. There is no such block: the config is
byte-identical to canonical (sha256 021cc83f...46bcb) and the approvals live in
in-code //nolint directives carrying their dates. Following the old text would
have meant editing the canonical config. The same paragraph listed paralleltest
as an approved disable when it was fixed instead -- no paralleltest token
exists in the tree and all 32 tests call t.Parallel().
MEMORY.md "Debugging" and README.md both told the reader to run go test
directly. Since PR #9 the test target carries -timeout 30s -race -cover, so a
raw invocation silently drops the race detector while appearing to verify the
change. Both now point at make test / make check.
TODO.md asserted the host golangci-lint is "currently v2.12.2". It is v2.10.1
and the repo pins nothing, so the claim documented an accident of one machine.
Only the false claim is removed; the pin question is tracked separately.
Documentation only: no code, Makefile, or config change. Next Step is
deliberately not rotated, per the precedent for out-of-band issue work.
Part 2 was written as a design sketch before the port was implemented and
refactored, so much of it described the planned code rather than the final
code. Updated the RogueGame/Stats/Object/Flags/Level sketches to the current
names and types (typed ObjectKind, DiceSpec, split o_arm fields, step-1 flag
names, TrapCount, Level list methods); rewrote §4.7 to say the static tables
now live on the per-game gameData struct (no package globals); noted the
daemon and effect handler tables (step 7), the MessageLine extraction (step 6),
the Terminal interface, the flat gob SaveState, and the New(Params) +
os.Exit-on-game-over design (step 8). Added §7.1, a C-name → Go-name rename
table, and a README note about the make targets. Docs only.
Adds a minimal Makefile wrapping the toolchain the way sneak's other
repos expose it:
- fmt gofmt -w plus prettier (4-space tabs, proseWrap: always)
- fmt-check fail if any Go or Markdown file is unformatted
- lint golangci-lint run ./...
- test go test ./...
- check fmt-check + lint + test (the local pre-commit gate)
Running make fmt normalizes the four existing Markdown docs to the
shared prettier style (80-column proseWrap: always, aligned tables) —
a one-time reflow with no content change. The repo remains exempt from
the rest of the policy scaffold (no Dockerfile, CI, or REPO_POLICIES).
The port is complete, so the C sources and their build system
(autoconf/automake inputs, Makefiles, Visual Studio project, doc
templates, RPM spec, C build/modernization notes) leave this branch;
they live on in master/modern-rogue for reference.
Also ports the last missing wizard command (things.c pr_list/pr_spec,
the '*' item-probability listing), rewrites README.md for the Go port,
and updates ARCHITECTURE.md's layout notes (game/ has no third-party
imports; tcell lives in term/).
Kept: LICENSE.TXT, rogue.png, rogue.desktop, ARCHITECTURE.md.
