clawbot 3a01283358 fix: take the signal-time autosave on the game goroutine (closes #24)
The SIGHUP/SIGTERM handler gob-encoded the live game tree from the signal
goroutine while the game goroutine was mid-turn mutating it, and AutoSave
removed the save file before encoding — so the failure mode was not a
stale save but a deleted one followed by a possibly torn replacement,
with a window in which the player had neither. The suite has run under
-race since 2026-08-09 and was green because nothing had ever driven the
turn loop concurrently with a signal: evidence of untested, not of safe.

The handler no longer writes anything. AutoSaveOnSignal posts a request,
wakes the input read, and waits up to signalSaveTimeout for the game
goroutine to take it; the encode runs on the goroutine that owns the
state, at the three points where that goroutine can sit: between turns
(command), on waking from a blocked readchar, and while parked in the `!`
shell escape (runShellEscape, which now runs the shell on a helper
goroutine so a hangup during it still rescues the game).

Blocked on input is the case that matters — a dropped connection lands
while the player is thinking, so a flag checked only between turns would
never be looked at. Terminal.ReadChar therefore returns (byte, bool),
with ok false meaning "woken by Interrupt, no key", and term.Tcell posts
a tcell.EventInterrupt onto tcell's own event queue to unpark PollEvent.
readchar services the request and reads again, so no caller sees it.

Running the shell on a helper goroutine would also have moved
term.Tcell.ShellEscape's panic on a failed Screen.Resume onto it, and a
panic at the top of any goroutine terminates the process without running
the deferred calls of the others — including cmd/rogue/main.go's
`defer t.Fini()`. The tty would have been left raw on precisely the path
where the terminal is already broken, which is issue #12's failure on a
path this change created. runShellEscape therefore recovers the helper's
panic and re-raises it on the game goroutine, whose stack has the restore
in it, so "every path restores the terminal via Terminal.Fini before
exiting" stays true.

saveFile writes a temporary file in the save's own directory, fsyncs it
and renames it over the target instead of truncating in place, so a save
that fails — or never happens because the deadline ran out — leaves the
player's previous save whole.

What the handoff guarantees is stated exactly rather than flatteringly:
the encode runs on the state-owning goroutine, so the snapshot is
internally consistent and restorable, but it is not necessarily taken
between commands. Only the check at the top of command is; the other two
service points both sit inside a command call already under way. readchar
is reached from mid-command prompts (--More--, askOverwrite, getStr, the
direction and pack prompts) with the command's mutations already applied,
and runShellEscape is reached from shell, an ordinary '!' command handler
dispatched inside command, with that turn's DoDaemons(Before) and
DoFuses(Before) already fired and its AFTER pass not yet. Restoring
re-enters playit at the top of command, so either way the rest of that
command is lost and a fresh BEFORE pass runs on top of the one in the
snapshot.

The SIGINT/SIGQUIT no-save decision and the single-signal-read ordering
guarantee are untouched. pendingSaver reads the game out from under its
mutex rather than delegating with it held, because the delegated call now
blocks until the save is taken.

# Status
pre-1.0
The port on main is complete and faithful (function-by-function from Rogue 5.4.4
C; reference sources on c-master/modern-rogue). Current phase: refactor from a
transliterated port into idiomatic Go — one feature branch per step below,
descriptive naming, real types, house style per
~/dev/prompts/prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE_GO.md.
Refactor ground rules:
- Behavior must not change unless a step says so. The full test suite (scripted
sessions, generation invariants, C-compatible RNG goldens) gates every step;
80x24 seed-compatible gameplay stays intact.
- Renames keep the C lineage greppable: doc comments retain their "(file.c
func_name)" breadcrumbs, and the docs refresh step adds a C-name → Go-name
table to ARCHITECTURE.md.
# Next Step
Broaden unit test coverage where playtesting finds thin spots (rings, sticks,
wizard commands).
# Completed Steps
- 2026-08-09 Signal-time autosave moved onto the game goroutine
(`fix/autosave-race`, closes #24): the SIGHUP/SIGTERM handler gob-encoded the
live game tree from the signal goroutine while the game goroutine was mid-turn
mutating it, and `AutoSave` **removed** the save file before encoding — so the
failure mode was not a stale save but a deleted one followed by a possibly
torn replacement, with a window in which the player had neither. `make test`
has run with `-race` since 2026-08-09 and was green, because no test had ever
driven the turn loop concurrently with a signal: evidence of untested, not of
safe. The handler now writes nothing itself. `AutoSaveOnSignal` posts a
request on a one-deep channel, wakes the input read, and waits up to
`signalSaveTimeout` (3s) for the game goroutine to take it; the encode happens
on the goroutine that owns the state. **The blocked-on-input case is the whole
point** — a dropped connection lands while the player is thinking, so a flag
checked only between turns would never be looked at — and it is handled by
making the read interruptible: `Terminal.ReadChar` returns `(byte, bool)` with
`ok == false` meaning "woken by `Interrupt`, no key", `term.Tcell.Interrupt`
posts a `tcell.EventInterrupt` onto tcell's own event queue to unpark
`PollEvent`, and `readchar` services the request and reads again, so no caller
sees the wake-up. The other unbounded park is the `!` shell escape, where a
hangup used to save and would otherwise have regressed to not saving: the
shell now runs on a helper goroutine and `runShellEscape` selects on {shell
finished, save request}, keeping the encode on the game goroutine while it
draws nothing. Between turns (`command`) covers a game that is busy rather
than parked. The wait is bounded so that a game goroutine wedged with no
service point can never stop a signal from getting the process out; giving up
costs nothing now that `saveFile` writes a temporary file in the save's own
directory, fsyncs it, and renames it over the target instead of truncating in
place — a failed or skipped save leaves the previous save whole. New
`game/autosave_test.go` drives the real turn loop while a second goroutine
asks for 25 saves (the interleaving that never existed before), plus the
parked-on-input case with a terminal fake that genuinely blocks, the shell
case, the deadline case (previous save byte-for-byte intact), the no-file-name
case, and the rename discipline — the last pinned by a handle opened before
the save, which still reads the old file whole after it. Each was
mutation-proved: reverting `AutoSaveOnSignal` to encode on the calling
goroutine (the pre-fix behavior) makes the turn-loop test fail under `-race`
with over a hundred reports, and removing each of the three service points
fails exactly the test for that park with its own message. `pendingSaver` now
reads the game out from under its mutex instead of delegating with it held,
because the delegated call blocks until the save is taken — the PR #23
review's N3 note, load-bearing rather than hypothetical, and pinned by a test.
The SIGINT/SIGQUIT no-save decision and the single-signal-read ordering
guarantee are untouched; `savesOnSignal`'s third ground ("safety") is
rewritten, since the corruption window it weighed no longer exists.
`MEMORY.md` stops listing signal-time autosave among the deliberate `_ =`
discards and states the new discipline; `ARCHITECTURE.md` §5.3, the `Terminal`
sketch, the C-to-Go mapping row and §9's SIGTSTP paragraph are corrected to
match. Two things review caught and this entry records so they are not undone:
moving the shell onto a helper goroutine also moved `term.Tcell.ShellEscape`'s
`panic` on a failed `Screen.Resume` there, and a panic at the top of any
goroutine kills the process without running the deferred calls of the others —
including `cmd/rogue/main.go`'s `defer t.Fini()`, so the tty would have been
left raw on exactly the path where the terminal is already broken (issue #12's
failure, reintroduced on a new path). `runShellEscape` recovers the helper's
panic and re-raises it on the game goroutine, pinned by
`TestShellEscapePanicUnwindsTheGameGoroutine`. And the doc comment took two
rounds to get right: the first version claimed in four places that nothing is
half-mutated at the `readchar` service point, and the revision that fixed that
claimed two of the three service points were between-commands. Both are false.
Only the check at the top of `command` is between commands — `readchar` is
reached from mid-command prompts, and `runShellEscape` is reached from
`shell`, an ordinary `'!'` command handler dispatched inside `command`, with
that turn's `DoDaemons(Before)`/`DoFuses(Before)` already fired and its AFTER
pass and ring effects not yet. What is actually guaranteed is that the encode
runs on the state-owning goroutine, so the snapshot is internally consistent
and restorable, though it may freeze a command half applied. `Next Step`
deliberately not rotated: out-of-band issue work.
- 2026-08-09 Signal-time terminal restore (`sig-leave`, closes #12): the port
handled only SIGHUP and SIGTERM, so SIGINT and SIGQUIT killed the process with
tcell still holding the tty, leaving the user at a shell with no echo. All
four signals now go to one `os/signal` channel read by one goroutine in
`cmd/rogue/main.go`, and every path calls `Terminal.Fini` before `os.Exit(0)`
— C's `leave()`, "leave quickly but curteously". **The decision** (written
into the `savesOnSignal` comment): SIGHUP/SIGTERM keep autosaving,
SIGINT/SIGQUIT restore and exit **without** saving. C never saves on INT or
QUIT anywhere — `leave()` is endwin-and-exit, `quit()` confirms/scores/exits,
`endit()` goes through `fatal()`, and `save.c auto_save` is reserved for
HUP/TERM — and the semantics agree: HUP/TERM are involuntary teardown worth
rescuing a game from, while INT/QUIT are a deliberate "stop now" that must not
become a one-keystroke checkpoint against a save discipline built to be
anti-save-scum. It is also the safe choice: `AutoSave` gob-encodes live state
that the main goroutine is still mutating, after removing the old file, so on
the signals with nothing to rescue the port takes the option with no
corruption window. The single-reader design closes the window the issue warned
about: a second signal arriving mid-save stays unread in the buffer instead of
exiting out from under the writer (`TestLeaveOnSignalIgnoresLaterSignals`
reproduces exactly that interleaving). New `cmd/rogue/main_test.go` pins the
membership of `handledSignals()` itself (`TestHandledSignalsSet` — without it
the rest of the file, which iterates that set, would pass against a set that
had silently lost SIGINT and SIGQUIT again), and covers the ordering for each
signal, the save/no-save split against `savesOnSignal`, the
mid-save-second-signal case, the pre-game `pendingSaver` window, and real
SIGINT/SIGQUIT/SIGHUP/SIGTERM delivered to the test process through the same
`notifySignals` wiring the game uses; the tty leaving raw mode is the one step
not checkable headlessly (it needs a controlling terminal), and
`term.Tcell.Fini` is a direct pass-through to tcell's `Screen.Fini` that
`myExit` already depends on. Two premises in the issue turned out to be wrong
and are recorded in ARCHITECTURE.md: `leave()` is not installed on
SIGINT/SIGQUIT during play (the wiring is in `mdport.c`, the shipped build
calls `md_onsignal_default()` and installs nothing, and `leave()` appears only
in the endgame paths of `rip.c`/`main.c`), and Ctrl-C never generated SIGINT
here anyway, since tcell's raw mode clears `ISIG` and the key arrives as byte
`0x03` — as it did in C, whose `setup()` calls curses `raw()`. The real
exposure is `kill -INT`/`kill -QUIT`, a SIGINT to the process group while the
`!` shell escape has the screen suspended, and the window **after**
`term.New()`: nothing is raw before it, and the handlers used to be installed
only once the game existed, leaving the restore path and `-d`'s `DeathDemo()`
— which never returns, blocking in `waitFor` inside `death()` — running raw
with no handler at all. The handlers are therefore installed immediately after
`term.New()`, with the game handed to them afterwards via `pendingSaver`; a
signal before the game exists restores the terminal and exits with nothing to
save, and the SIGHUP/SIGTERM autosave behavior on the play path is unchanged.
ARCHITECTURE.md §9 gained rows for SIGTSTP/`tstp()` (dropped: raw mode means
Ctrl-Z cannot reach us, a suspend from the signal goroutine would race the
drawing goroutine, and C armed `tstp` only after a `restore()`; the `!` shell
escape covers the need), for SIGINT not routing to the interactive `quit()`
prompt, and for `auto_save` on the fault signals; §5.3's claim that tcell
handles SIGTSTP was false — tcell registers only SIGWINCH — and is corrected.
`Next Step` deliberately not rotated: out-of-band issue work.
- 2026-08-09 Wizard-create bounds fix (`fix/wizard-which-bounds`, closes #10):
`createObj` stored the raw `0-f` nibble as `Object.Which` with no bounds
check, so wizard mode -> `C` -> `/` -> `f` produced 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 — `'A'` gives 234 and
`'!'` gives 202 — and panicked the same way. C's `create_obj()` was equally
unchecked, but every C consumer was either a `switch` (defined for any value)
or a static-array read past the end (undefined, and survivable in practice),
whereas since refactor step 8 one game is one process, so the Go panic kills
the game with the terminal still in raw mode. Fixed at the two boundaries a
bad `Which` can enter through: `createObj` now rejects an out-of-range choice
with a message built from C's own `type_name()` vocabulary and adds nothing to
the pack (a deliberate, commented divergence, since C had no defined behavior
here to be faithful to), and `Restore` refuses a snapshot describing such an
object (`ErrSaveCorrupt`) instead of loading a game that would explode later.
Behind those, `whichLimit`/`hasValidWhich` back defensive guards at every
dispatch named in the issue: the three effect tables (the new `quaffHandler`,
`readHandler`, and `zapHandler` accessors return no handler rather than
indexing — for wands that is exactly non-`MASTER` C, which matched no case and
still ran `o_charges--`), the `callIt` lore lookups, `identifyType` (whose
table is shorter than the scroll table keying it, though no scroll that can
reach `readIdentify` overshoots it, so that one is defensive rather than a
live bound), `armorClass` for the four `a_class[]` reads, `initWeapon` against
the missing `init_dam[]` row for `WeaponFlame`, `fixStick`'s `ws_type[]` read,
and `inventoryName`, hoisted so one check covers the scroll-title read the
issue listed plus its potion-color, ring-stone, wand-material, weapon and
armor siblings. `objectWorth` got the same hoisted guard, since the
death-screen appraisal reads the identical per-kind tables. No in-range input
changes behavior and no guard consumes a random number — the rejection
precedes every `rnd()` call, verified both by an explicit seed-unchanged test
and by `TestSeedCompatItemTables` staying green untouched. New
`game/wizard_test.go`: the exact reproducer, a rejection sweep over every
indexed kind including both wrapping-input forms, an acceptance sweep proving
valid choices still build the right item, one no-panic test per guarded family
(wand/potion/scroll/armor/weapon), the `fixStick` crash site, the corrupt-save
rejection over the wrapped values and a negative `Which` (a decoded snapshot
is the only source of one, so it is what exercises the `Which >= 0` arm of
`hasValidWhich`), and a check that `whichLimit` still agrees with the table
sizes. Each guard was confirmed load-bearing by reverting it and watching the
test panic. `Next Step` deliberately not rotated: this was out-of-band issue
work.
- 2026-08-09 Stale-docs correction (`docs-staleness`, closes #3): four claims in
`MEMORY.md`/`TODO.md`/`README.md` had gone false and were misdirecting agents
— the reviewer on PR #9 repeated one of them verbatim. Each was re-verified
against the tree before rewriting. (1) `MEMORY.md` described C's `exit()`
being unwound by a `gameEnd` panic recovered in `Run`; refactor step 8 deleted
that, `gameEnd` appears nowhere in the sources, and `myExit` (`game/rip.go`)
now calls `Terminal.Fini` then `os.Exit(0)` while `Run()` never returns — so
the section states the exit model and its testing consequence (a death exits
the test binary; hence `fortify()` in `game/run_test.go`). (2) `MEMORY.md`
said approved lint exceptions live in a "Repo-specific exceptions" block in
`.golangci.yml`; no such block exists and the config is byte-identical to
canonical (sha256 `021cc83f…46bcb`), the approvals having moved to in-code
`//nolint` directives carrying their dates — and `paralleltest` was listed as
an approved disable when it was in fact fixed (no `paralleltest` token in the
tree; 32 `t.Parallel()` calls against 32 tests). (3) `MEMORY.md` "Debugging"
and (4) `README.md` both told the reader to run `go test` directly, which
since PR #9 silently drops `-timeout 30s -race -cover`; both now point at
`make test`/`make check`. Also dropped the false "currently v2.12.2" host
linter claim from the 2026-08-07 entry (the host is v2.10.1 and nothing is
pinned; the pin question is tracked separately). Documentation only — no code,
`Makefile`, or config change; `Next Step` deliberately not rotated, since this
was out-of-band issue work.
- 2026-08-09 Policy-shaped `make test` (`make-test-policy-pattern`): the `test:`
target was a bare `go test $(GO_PKGS)` and now runs
`-timeout 30s -race -cover` with the mandated conditional verbose rerun (on
failure it reruns with `-v` and then `exit 1`, so a flaky pass on the second
attempt cannot rescue the build). `$(GO_PKGS)` is kept rather than hardcoding
`./...`. The substance was `-race`, not the Makefile edit: this is the first
time the suite has run under the race detector, and it is clean — no data
races across five consecutive uncached runs, including the tcell terminal
layer and the `os.Exit`-path playthrough tests. Wall clock 5.1s cold
(including the race build) and ~2.3s warm, against the 20s policy budget. The
failure path was exercised with a throwaway failing test to confirm the rerun
fires and `make` exits non-zero. Build tooling only; no game behavior change.
- 2026-08-07 Canonical linter config (`golangci-v2.12.2`): replaced
`.golangci.yml` with the shared canonical config (v2 schema; settings now live
under `linters.settings`, so the `lll`/`funlen`/`cyclop`/`dupl` thresholds
actually apply — the old top-level `linters-settings` block was silently
ignored). The four repo-specific disables (`mnd`, `exhaustive`,
`paralleltest`, `testpackage`) moved out of the config into targeted in-code
`//nolint` directives carrying the original approval dates, so the config
stays byte-identical to canonical. Real fixes: `t.Parallel()` in all 32 tests,
24 long lines wrapped or their comments tightened, control bytes in
`term/tcell.go` as character literals, and two `wsl_v5` defer cuddles. The
repo has no golangci-lint version pin to bump (no Dockerfile or CI;
`make lint` runs whatever `golangci-lint` is on the host).
- 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.
- 2026-07-23 Refactor step 8 (refactor/constructor-style): constructor and exit
pass. NewGame(Config) → New(Params) and Restore takes Params, so the package's
primary type gets the canonical New() constructor with a named-field Params
struct (styleguide 139/159). The gameEnd panic unwind is gone: one game run is
one process, so myExit restores the terminal (new Terminal.Fini) and calls
os.Exit(0), and Run() no longer returns; the four Run()-to-completion tests
were reworked/dropped since death (combat or starvation) now exits the process
(TestScoreRendersList and TestRunDownStairs preserve what is still drivable;
save/restore stays covered by TestSaveRestoreRoundTrip). The 77-column wrap
sweep was dropped per sneak (2026-07-23): line lengths left as-is (lll caps at
88 and passes).
- 2026-07-07 Refactor step 7 (refactor/effects-dispatch): effects dispatch
tables plus a full decomposition sweep — the quaff / readScroll / doZap
switches, the attack monster-power switch, the be_trapped switch, the daemon
d_func switch, and the command-key switch all became handler tables on
gameData (quaffHandlers, readHandlers, zapHandlers, hitHandlers, trapHandlers,
daemonHandlers, commandHandlers), one small named method per case. Every
remaining cyclop/gocognit/nestif hot spot was split into named helpers across
fight, misc (look), command, chase, move, passages, options, pack, things,
save, daemons, rooms, score, monsters, rings, rip, io, object, weapons,
wizard, and term/tcell, plus three test functions. Effect order and RNG call
sequence preserved throughout; the whole golangci-lint run is now 0 issues.
- 2026-07-07 Refactor step 6 (refactor/god-object-extraction): MessageLine (was
MsgLine) owns the msg/addmsg/endmsg machinery, wired to its screen/look/input
needs via attach(); RogueGame keeps one-line msg/addmsgf/endmsg shorthands so
call sites are unchanged. Player owns pack bookkeeping (nextPackChar,
removeFromPack — the state half of leave_pack; leavePack keeps only LastPick
tracking). Level owns object/monster list management and lookup (ObjectAt
replaces findObj; AddObject/RemoveObject/AddMonster/RemoveMonster replace
direct attachObj/detachObj/attachMon/detachMon on level lists).
Inventory/pickup UI flows stay on RogueGame deliberately: they are display and
turn orchestration, not state surgery.
- 2026-07-07 Refactor step 5 (refactor/item-combat-ui-renames, three commits,
one subsystem each): items — getItem→promptPackItem now returning (obj, ok),
invName→inventoryName, doPot→applyPotionFuse; combat — rollEm→rollAttacks,
attack/moveMonster/chaseStep return (removed bool) instead of C -1/0 int
codes; UI — getDir→promptDirection. C breadcrumbs kept; suite green.
- 2026-07-07 Refactor step 4 (refactor/movement-renames): movement/world renames
(doMove→moveHero, beTrapped→springTrap, rndmove→randomStep,
doRooms/doPassages/doMaze→digRooms/digPassages/digMaze, chgStr→changeStrength,
doRun→startRun, moveStuff→finishMove, turnref→turnRefresh,
moveMonst→moveMonster, doChase→chaseStep, setOldch→setOldChar, cansee→canSee,
roomin→roomIn, runto→runTo, conn→connectRooms, putpass→putPassage,
passnum→numberPassages, numpass→numberPassage, rndPos→randomPos,
rndRoom→randomRoom, treasRoom→treasureRoom, accntMaze→accountMaze); all
goto/label flows replaced with loops (moveHero retry loop + extracted
passageTurn, dispatch re-dispatch loop, chaseStep passage loop, saveGame
labeled prompt loop); C breadcrumbs kept in doc comments.
- 2026-07-07 Lint adoption finished (refactor/no-package-globals): all 37
package-level vars moved into `gameData` (built by `newGameData`, hung on
RogueGame as `g.data`, set in NewGame and Restore); ObjectKind
Glyph()/objectKindForGlyph became switches; the table-reading subtype
Stringers were removed; isMagic became a RogueGame method; goconst fixed with
named word constants (potionName, goldName, staffName, ripWall, ...);
testpackage and exhaustive disabled in .golangci.yml with sneak's approval
(2026-07-07); misspell's corruption of the "ther" scroll syllable reverted.
mnd disabled with sneak's approval (2026-07-07, follow-up commit). Remaining
red: cyclop (36), nestif (30), gocognit (23) stay until step 7 fixes them per
sneak's ruling.
- 2026-07-06 Lint adoption bulk (refactor/lint-adoption, 5ba9fe8): .golangci.yml
copied verbatim from the prompts repo (plus the sneak-approved paralleltest
exception, 2026-07-06); ~1,500 findings fixed (autofix formatting sweep,
errcheck/err113/noinlineerr error handling, forbidigo, funcorder, recvcheck
pointer receivers, goprintffuncname renames msg helpers to *f, revive doc
comments, gocritic switch rewrites, gosec real fixes plus justified nolints,
unparam signature tightening, C-faithful "missle" spellings restored after
misspell autofix changed game text).
- 2026-07-06 Module base path updated to git.eeqj.de/sneak/rgoue (go.mod, term/
and cmd/ imports, ARCHITECTURE.md, version string).
- 2026-07-06 Refactor step 3 (refactor/object-fields): Object.Arm split into
ArmorClass/Charges/GoldValue/Bonus (rings); Stats.Arm → ArmorClass; damage
strings parsed once into DiceSpec at table definition (ParseDice keeps C
roll_em parse semantics, incl. "%%%x0" and "000x0" edge cases,
regression-tested); save format 5.4.4-go3.
- 2026-07-06 Refactor step 2 (refactor/typed-kinds, b940cfc): ObjectKind
separates item category from map glyph (Object.Type byte → Kind ObjectKind
with Glyph()); PotionKind/ScrollKind/RingKind/
WandKind/WeaponKind/ArmorKind/TrapKind typed iota enums with Stringer; typed
accessors on Object; getItem/inventory/whatis filters take ObjectKind
(KindCallable/KindRingOrStick replace CALLABLE/R_OR_S); save format bumped to
5.4.4-go2. Suite green.
- 2026-07-06 Refactor step 1 (refactor/descriptive-constants): renamed all flag
bits, trap types, item subtype constants, and Max* counts to descriptive names
(IsHuh→Confused, SeeMonst→SenseMonsters, WsHasteM→WandHasteMonster,
MaxSticks→NumWandTypes, ...); Level.NTraps→TrapCount; C names kept as comment
breadcrumbs. Pure rename, suite green.
- 2026-07-06 Made the rgoue branch Go-only: removed C sources and the
autoconf/VS build system (they remain on master and modern-rogue), ported the
last wizard command (item-probability listing), rewrote README.md for the Go

# Future Steps
1. Tag a release once a full game (Amulet retrieval and score entry) completes
without defects.
2. Full-terminal-size support (deferred by explicit decision 2026-07-06):
per-game dungeon dimensions instead of the 80x24 constants; open design
questions are resize policy, gameplay tuning at larger sizes, and a --classic
80x24 mode.
3. Note: this repo is exempt from the standard policy scaffold. A minimal dev
Makefile (fmt/fmt-check/lint/test/check targets) exists per sneak's
2026-07-07 request, but do not add a Dockerfile, CI config, or
REPO_POLICIES.md.
