e595b87718 Cross-validate item appearance tables against the C reference
Instrumented the C game on modern-rogue with a DUMP mode (patch in
testdata/c_seedcompat.patch) that forces the RNG seed and prints the
per-seed item appearance tables — potion colors, scroll names, ring
stones, wand/staff materials — in the normal init order, before initscr
so no terminal is needed. Captured its output for four seeds as
testdata/item_tables.golden.

TestSeedCompatItemTables regenerates the same tables from the Go port
via New(Params{Seed, Wizard: true}) and checks they match the golden
byte for byte. They do, for all four seeds — proving the LCG and its
consumption order through the whole init sequence (init_probs →
init_player → init_names → init_colors → init_stones → init_materials,
including init_player's arrow rnd(8)+rnd(15)) agree with C exactly.

testdata/README.md documents how to regenerate the golden.

061da11877 Add deep-playthrough and turn-loop crash-sweep tests (playtest hardening)
Two death-safe regression drives that exercise the full turn loop within the
step-8 os.Exit constraint (a fortify() helper pins HP/food/exp and clears the
freeze/stuck counters each turn, so no death exits the test binary; fixed seeds
keep them deterministic):

- TestDeepPlaythrough: quaff/read/zap through command dispatch, then descend the
  staircase to depth 8 with a save/restore at depth 4 — a crash sweep of deep
  level generation, item effects, and mid-game save/restore. It asserts the
  consumables identify themselves (the commands really ran) and the descent and
  restore land where expected.
- TestTurnLoopCrashSweep: mash movement/search/rest for 200 turns on four seeds,
  exercising combat, monster AI, and traps.

Neither surfaced a panic. Space-separated command scripts answer the --More--
prompts, as wait_for consumes input up to a space.

cb1e302102 Refresh ARCHITECTURE.md Part 2 for the post-refactor design
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.

The single C `o_arm` field was overloaded (armor class | charges | gold value |

became a typed `ObjectKind` distinct from the display glyph (step 2). Damage
strings are parsed once into a `DiceSpec` (`[]DiceRoll`) at table-definition

`tables.go` holds the immutable data from extern.c/init.c on a `gameData`
struct, built by `newGameData()` and hung on each game as `g.data`. Every game
carries its own copy, so the package keeps **no** non-constant package-level

encoded as indices, then re-aliased on load —

**Exit discipline** deserves a note: the C code calls `exit()` from deep inside
call chains (death, victory, save). The port threads a `g.gameOver(reason)` that
sets `Playing=false` and unwinds via normal returns to `Run` — the one
structural change made everywhere, since `os.Exit` would skip tcell teardown and
defers.
call chains (death, victory, save). One game run is one process, so the port
does the same — `myExit` restores the terminal (via `Screen.Fini`) and calls
`os.Exit(0)`. `Run` therefore does not return; the game ends by exiting. (An
earlier iteration unwound a `gameEnd` panic recovered in `Run`; step 8 replaced
it with the direct exit.)
## 7. Naming conventions
- C function `do_move` → method `(g *RogueGame) DoMove(dy, dx int)`; the C name
is preserved in CamelCase so cross-referencing Part 1 is mechanical.
Statics/internal helpers are lowerCamel (`g.doadd``g.addMsgV`).
- Entity-intrinsic functions become entity methods where they read no game
state: `inv_name(obj, drop)` needs ItemLore →
`(g *RogueGame) InvName(o *Object, drop bool) string`; but `is_magic(obj)`
`(o *Object) IsMagic() bool`.
- Boolean C `bool`/`int` returns stay `bool`; `char` returns become `byte`.
The initial port preserved C names in CamelCase for mechanical
cross-referencing. The idiomatic-refactor phase (steps 18) then renamed symbols
to descriptive Go names, keeping the C name as a `(file.c func_name)` breadcrumb
in each doc comment. So `do_move` is `moveHero`, not `DoMove`; `inv_name` is
`inventoryName`; `roll_em` is `rollAttacks`. The notable mappings are tabulated
in §7.1.
- Exported vs. unexported: `RogueGame`, the constructor `New` (taking a `Params`
struct), `Run`, `Restore`, and the type/field vocabulary are exported; the
ported command and effect methods are unexported (`moveHero`, `quaff`, ...) —
they are internals, not API.
- Entity-intrinsic functions become entity methods where they fit: `find_obj`
`(l *Level) ObjectAt`, pack surgery → `Player` methods, the message machinery
`MessageLine` methods (step 6).
- Boolean C `bool`/`int` returns become `bool`; the C `-1/0` status codes
(`attack`, `move_monst`, `do_chase`) become named `bool` results (step 5).
`char` returns become `byte`.
- `coord*` out-params become `Coord` returns (or `(Coord, bool)` for find-style
functions like `fallpos`/`find_floor`).

# Next Step
Docs refresh: update ARCHITECTURE.md Part 2 and README.md for the post-refactor
names; add the C name → Go name rename table.
Broaden unit test coverage where playtesting finds thin spots (rings, sticks,
wizard commands).
# Completed Steps
- 2026-07-24 Seed compatibility — item tables (seed-compat): instrumented the C
reference on modern-rogue with a DUMP mode (testdata/c_seedcompat.patch) that
forces the RNG seed and prints the per-seed item appearance tables (potion
colors, scroll names, ring stones, wand/staff materials) before initscr, and
captured its output for four seeds as testdata/item_tables.golden.
TestSeedCompatItemTables regenerates the same tables from the Go port and they
match byte for byte — proving the LCG and its consumption order through the
whole init sequence agree with C. The remaining "same dungeon (map)" half
would need the harder headless-curses C dump (new_level draws to curses);
deferred — the item-table match already validates RNG-order faithfulness
through init, and the Go generation goldens guard determinism thereafter.
- 2026-07-23 Playtest hardening (playtest-hardening): added two death-safe
crash-sweep drives through the real turn loop, within the step-8 os.Exit
constraint (a fortify() helper pins HP/food/exp and clears the freeze/stuck
counters each turn so no death exits the test binary; fixed seeds keep them
deterministic). TestDeepPlaythrough uses quaff/read/zap through command
dispatch, then descends to depth 8 with a save/restore at depth 4;
TestTurnLoopCrashSweep mashes movement/search/rest for 200 turns on four
seeds. Neither surfaced a panic. The interactive "play several games at a real
tcell terminal" portion needs a human at an 80x24 terminal and is left to the
maintainer; the binary's non-interactive paths (`-s` scores) were
smoke-tested.
- 2026-07-23 Docs refresh (docs-refresh): rewrote ARCHITECTURE.md Part 2 (the
pre-implementation design sketch) to match the final code — current type/field
names (ObjectKind, DiceSpec, split o_arm, step-1 flag names, TrapCount, Level
list methods), the static tables now on the per-game gameData struct, the
daemon/effect handler tables, the MessageLine extraction, the Terminal
interface, the flat gob SaveState, and the New(Params) + os.Exit design. Added
§7.1, a C-name → Go-name rename table, and a README note on the make targets.

# Future Steps
1. Playtest hardening pass: play several full games with the tcell binary and
extend run_test.go to drive a deeper multi-level playthrough (descend past
level 5, use potions, scrolls, zapping, save/restore). Note: game-over now
exits the process (step 8), so scripted drives must stay bounded and avoid
death/quit/save-command; exercise the exit paths (death display, 'S' save)
another way if needed. Fix any panics, message mismatches, or divergences
from the C behavior that this uncovers, with regression tests.
2. Verify the seed-compatibility claim against the C reference on c-master: same

# Seed-compatibility golden
`item_tables.golden` is the per-seed item appearance tables (potion colors,
scroll names, ring stones, wand/staff materials) captured from the **C
reference** on the `modern-rogue` branch, for the seeds in the `seeds` list in
`TestSeedCompatItemTables`. That test regenerates the same tables from the Go
port and checks they match byte for byte — proving the LCG and its consumption
order through the whole init sequence (`init_probs``init_player`
`init_names``init_colors``init_stones``init_materials`) agree with C.
## Regenerating the golden
`c_seedcompat.patch` adds a `DUMP` mode to the C `main.c`: with `DUMP` set it
forces the RNG seed from `SEED`, runs the item-table init in the normal order,
prints the tables, and exits before `initscr` (so no terminal is needed).
```sh
# from a checkout of the C reference (modern-rogue branch):
git archive modern-rogue | tar -x -C /tmp/rogue-c
cd /tmp/rogue-c
patch -p1 < .../game/testdata/c_seedcompat.patch
./configure && make
for s in 1 42 12345 99999; do DUMP=1 SEED=$s ./rogue; done \
> .../game/testdata/item_tables.golden
```
The seed list must match the `seeds` slice in `TestSeedCompatItemTables`.
