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).

# Project Memory
|
|
|
|
Working notes for agents on this repo. Read this alongside TODO.md (which holds
|
|
the step queue and workflow) before starting work.
|
|
|
|
## Error handling
|
|
|
|
Panicking on bad/unexpected errors is allowed and preferred over threading
|
|
unlikely error returns through game code — e.g. write-side Close/encode failures
|
|
where continuing would mean corrupt state. The game already unwinds C's exit()
|
|
calls via a gameEnd panic recovered in Run. Return errors where a caller
|
|
genuinely handles them (save-file prompts, restore validation). Reserve
|
|
deliberate `_ =` discards for true best-effort paths (scorefile writes,
|
|
signal-time autosave), always with a comment saying why.
|
|
|
|
## Linting
|
|
|
|
The .golangci.yml is the house standard and may only be modified with sneak's
|
|
explicit permission. To disable a linter, ask, explaining what the linter does;
|
|
he approves specific exceptions, which are recorded in the config's
|
|
"Repo-specific exceptions" block with the approval date. Approved so far:
|
|
paralleltest (2026-07-06); testpackage, exhaustive, and mnd (2026-07-07). The
|
|
complexity linters (cyclop, gocognit, nestif) are enabled and clean as of
|
|
refactor step 7 (2026-07-07): the whole golangci-lint run is 0 issues, so keep
|
|
it that way — decompose new hot spots rather than reaching for a nolint.
|
|
Line-level //nolint with a reason is used sparingly for C-faithfulness (e.g. the
|
|
authentic "missle" message spellings) and provably-safe gosec conversions; each
|
|
needs a justifying comment.
|
|
|
|
## Faithfulness
|
|
|
|
Behavior must not change during the idiomatic-Go refactor unless a TODO step
|
|
says so. The 80x24 seed-compatible gameplay, message text (including original
|
|
typos), RNG call order, and C quirks (documented in tests like
|
|
TestHoldScrollGreedyMonsterQuirk) are contract. Doc comments keep their "(file.c
|
|
func_name)" breadcrumbs.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
Write real, committed test files with t.Logf output and run plain `go test -v`;
|
|
no throwaway scratch scripts. Successful debug probes become regression tests.
