+## [2026-04-26T08:21Z] T6 entity / marker / RNG attrs
+
+### What landed
+- 3 named type aliases ABOVE `ChessAttrMap` in `packages/chess/src/schema.ts`:
+  `EntityKindValue`, `MarkerKindValue`, `MarkerLifetimeValue`.
+  All exported so downstream tasks (T7 EntityKind filters; T10 marker
+  factory; T19 lifetime decrementer; RNG primitives) can import them.
+- 7 attrs appended to `ChessAttrMap` in declaration order:
+  `EntityKind, MarkerKind, MarkerLifetime, MarkerOwner, MarkerLinks,
+  RngSeed, RngStream`.
+- 7 `registerAttrConsumer(...)` calls appended to the END of the
+  block in `packages/chess/src/modifiers/apply.ts` (lines 116-122).
+  Placement at end-of-block minimises merge friction with T8 (which
+  the brief warned will also append here).
+- 7 new tests in `packages/chess/src/schema.test.ts` under describe
+  `T6 marker + RNG attrs`.
+
+### Import paths verified (use these in T7/T8/T10)
+- `EntityId` — `import type { EntityId } from "@paratype/rete"` (already
+  imported at `schema.ts:9`; no re-import needed by future tasks that
+  pull from `./schema.js`).
+- New value types — `import { type EntityKindValue, type MarkerKindValue,
+  type MarkerLifetimeValue } from "./schema.js"`.
+
+### Conventions followed
+- `MarkerOwner` value type is `PieceColor` (`"white" | "black"`); absence
+  of the fact encodes "no owner" — do NOT insert `undefined`. (Brief
+  rationale was correct.)
+- `MarkerLifetime` field names are `kind` + `expiresAtMove` exactly,
+  matching `decisions.md:44`. `expiresAtMove` is an ABSOLUTE move count
+  comparison (T19 will compare against `FullmoveNumber` or equivalent).
+- `MarkerKind` is the locked 8-value union — no `string` widening.
+
+### Surprises / gotchas
+- Brief said `apply.ts` block is at `packages/chess/src/modifiers/custom/apply.ts`
+  lines 95-113; ACTUAL location is `packages/chess/src/modifiers/apply.ts`
+  lines 95-114. The `custom/apply.ts` file is the descriptor walker, not
+  the consumer registration site. Mirror this when wiring T7/T8.
+- `schema.test.ts` uses `chessFact()` factory + `EntityId` brand cast
+  via `mkId(n)` helper — NOT a live `Session`. Mirror this lighter
+  pattern; full Session round-trip belongs in engine-level integration
+  tests, not the pure-schema test file.
+- `bun run check` runs typecheck → lint → vitest (workspace mode).
+  Vitest project name for chess is `|chess|`. Test count after T6 =
+  **1990** (was 1970 baseline; +20 because parallel tasks have already
+  landed in the same wave window — the +7 from T6 alone is included).
+- `assertSeedConsumerIntegrity` only asserts that EVERY primitive-seeded
+  attr has a consumer; it does NOT complain about consumers without
+  seed-side coverage. So registering `RngSeed`/`RngStream` consumers
+  before any RNG primitive seeds them is safe and forward-compatible.
+
+### Verification
+- `bun test packages/chess/src/schema.test.ts` → 18 pass / 0 fail
+- `bunx vitest run schema.test.ts manifest.test.ts` → 23 pass
+- `bun run check` → exit 0, 1990 tests across 170 files

+
+
+## [2026-04-26T08:24Z] T9 RNG (Mulberry32 + engine.rng + GAME_ENTITY seeding)
+
+### What landed
+- `packages/chess/src/util/rng.ts` — `class SeededRng` (Mulberry32) +
+  `deriveSeedFromGameId(gameId)` (FNV-1a 32-bit). No deps; verbatim
+  reference Mulberry32 constants — do NOT "optimize" the bit pattern,
+  it's load-bearing for cross-impl determinism.
+- `packages/chess/src/util/rng.test.ts` — 13 tests / 5086 expects.
+  Includes 1000-iter range guards on `next()` and `nextInt(N)`,
+  golden-sequence regression for seed=1 (any value change is a plan-
+  amending event), pick/empty throw, FNV uint32 invariant.
+- `packages/chess/src/engine.ts` —
+  1. New `gameId?: string` field on `EngineOptions`.
+  2. RngSeed/RngStream seeded UNCONDITIONALLY in the constructor,
+     BEFORE `applyProfileToSession` / preset activation, so any
+     `onActivate` hook that draws (future RNG-shuffled starting
+     positions, etc.) sees initialized facts. Default seed when no
+     gameId = `deriveSeedFromGameId(undefined)` = 1.
+  3. `engine.rng()` returns a handle with `next/nextInt/pick`. EACH
+     call advances the persistent RngStream by 1 by re-reading the
+     fact, constructing a fresh `SeededRng(seed + currentStream)`,
+     then `insert(GAME_ENTITY, "RngStream", currentStream + 1)`.
+  4. `engine.setRngSeed(numberOrString)` resets stream to 0 and
+     overrides seed; for tests / late-binding server boot.
+
+### RNG init location decision
+- **Constructor**, NOT integration preset boot. Rationale:
+  RngSeed/RngStream are GAME-level facts (not modifier-related); the
+  constructor is the only call site guaranteed to fire for every
+  engine regardless of whether a profile / preset is active. The
+  `__modifier-profile-integration__` preset only activates when a
+  profile is supplied — putting RNG init there would make any
+  profileless engine throw at first `engine.rng()` call.
+- This decision keeps T9 independent of T6's preset boot path; no
+  edits to `modifiers/custom/apply.ts` or `modifiers/apply.ts`
+  needed.
+
+### engine.rng() return shape (for Wave 7 — T36 with-probability, T37 random-pick)
+```ts
+{
+  next(): number;       // [0, 1) — advances stream by 1
+  nextInt(max: number): number;  // [0, max) — advances stream by 1
+  pick<T>(arr: readonly T[]): T; // throws on empty — advances stream by 1
+}
+```
+**Critical for T36/T37**: ONE call = ONE stream advance = ONE
+draw. Don't cache the handle then call `next()` 5 times expecting
+the same value; each call re-reads the stream. To draw N times for
+one effect, call N times — the stream offset is what makes each
+distinct.
+
+### Subtleties for downstream RNG consumers
+- The "draws-before-suspension" invariant (decisions.md:140) is
+  enforced in the VALIDATOR (T19), not in the engine — the RNG
+  itself doesn't know about suspension. T36's `with-probability`
+  must call `engine.rng().next()` BEFORE selecting then/else arm,
+  and the validator must reject any `request-choice` nested inside
+  with-probability.
+- `setRngSeed` mid-game IS allowed but breaks replay-from-this-
+  point. Server boot path: pass `gameId` to constructor for the
+  authoritative session; clients receive `RngSeed`/`RngStream`
+  facts via the standard fact-sync (no special-casing needed —
+  they're just facts on GAME_ENTITY).
+- `assertSeedConsumerIntegrity` (T6) already covers
+  RngSeed/RngStream consumer registration; T9 added zero
+  registerAttrConsumer calls (per brief — would have raced T6).
+
+### Verification
+- `bun test packages/chess/src/util/rng.test.ts` → 13 pass / 0 fail
+- `bun test packages/chess/src/engine-presets.test.ts` → 24 pass / 0 fail (added 9 rng integration tests)
+- `bun run check` → exit 0, 1999 tests across 170 files (added 13 unit + 9 engine-integration; net delta vs previous T6 baseline reflects parallel tasks landing in the same wave)

+
+## [2026-04-26T08:30:00Z] T8 movement-replacement attrs
+
+### Added (Wave 2 schema/registration only)
+
+5 new attrs on `ChessAttrMap` in `packages/chess/src/schema.ts`:
+
+| Attr | Type | Scope |
+|------|------|-------|
+| `MovesAs` | `PieceType` | per-piece (override native pattern) |
+| `MovesAlsoAs` | `PieceType` | per-piece (additive secondary pattern) |
+| `SlideMustBeMaxDistance` | `boolean` | per-piece OR `GAME_ENTITY` |
+| `BlockAllExceptKing` | `boolean` | `GAME_ENTITY` only |
+| `KingExtraReach` | `number` | per-piece |
+
+5 matching `registerAttrConsumer(...)` calls appended to
+`packages/chess/src/modifiers/apply.ts` (location confirmed
+consistent with T6 — NOT `modifiers/custom/apply.ts`). Append-only
+edit; T6's 7 RNG/marker registrations were already present, so no
+race / overwrite occurred.
+
+### Confirmation re: apply.ts location
+
+T6's earlier learnings entry was correct: the file is
+`packages/chess/src/modifiers/apply.ts` (line ~88+ holds the existing
+`registerAttrConsumer` block). The `modifiers/custom/apply.ts` file
+exists but is for custom-modifier *application*, not consumer
+registration. T8 followed T6's pattern.
+
+### Scope guardrails honoured
+
+- NO move-gen wiring touched. `MovesAs` / `MovesAlsoAs` / etc. are
+  pure schema entries; the readers land in Wave 7 (T40 set-moves-as,
+  T41 pawn-pushes-pieces) and Wave 10 (T64 ice-physics test consumes
+  `SlideMustBeMaxDistance`).
+- NO defaults seeded. Move-gen treats absence-of-fact as "use
+  natural movement", per the brief.
+- NO validator gate on `MovesAs: "king"` — V1 just stores; the
+  reject-on-king restriction is T40's job (validator wave).
+
+### Test deltas
+
+- Added 5 tests in `packages/chess/src/schema.test.ts` under
+  `describe("T8 movement-replacement attrs (Wave 2)")` mirroring
+  T6's chessFact round-trip pattern.
+- Schema test file: 18 → 23 pass.
+- Workspace total: 1999 → **2006 pass** (delta +7 = my 5 + 2 from
+  expanding existing T6-style "every PieceType" loops).
+
+### Verification
+
+- `bun test packages/chess/src/schema.test.ts` → 23 pass / 0 fail.
+- `bun test packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/consumer-integration.test.ts` → 6 pass / 0 fail (no regression — `assertSeedConsumerIntegrity` happy with the 5 new declarations).
+- `bun run check` → **exit 0, 2006 tests / 170 files**.

+
+## [2026-04-26T14:29Z] T7 aura compute + markers
+
+### What landed
+- `packages/chess/src/modifiers/auras.ts` — added exported `getEntityKind(session, id)` helper + renamed internal walker `collectPiecesWithPositions` → `collectPositionedEntities`. Walker now filters via the `EntityKind` discriminator (admits `"piece"` and `"marker"`) instead of the raw `id > 0` rejection. Net behavior change for current callers = **none** (no markers exist yet); structural surface for T10 / T18 / T28 = **ready**.
+- `packages/chess/src/modifiers/auras.test.ts` — +2 tests under new describe `aura compute — markers participate (T7)`. All 10 prior tests pass byte-identical.
+
+### CROSS-CUTTING DECISION — `EntityKind` default policy
+- **Locked policy**: `EntityKind` defaults to `"piece"` when **absent AND `PieceType` is set**. Returns `undefined` if neither is set.
+- Rationale: `engine.spawnPiece` (engine.ts:841-869) does NOT seed `EntityKind` (T6 only added the schema slot). A retroactive sweep through `spawnPiece` + every test fixture that bypasses the factory would be a Wave-2-scope-creep. Defaulting to `"piece"` keeps every legacy piece visible to EntityKind consumers, while markers (T10) MUST insert `EntityKind = "marker"` explicitly.
+- **Every later EntityKind consumer MUST honor this policy** — call `getEntityKind` directly. Specifically:
+  - T10 (marker factory): set `EntityKind = "marker"` explicitly. Don't rely on absence.
+  - T18 (on-piece-entered-marker): use `getEntityKind` to confirm the entering entity is a piece, and probe markers at the destination via `EntityKind === "marker"`.
+  - T28 (spawn-marker primitive): same — explicit `"marker"` fact.
+  - Audit fixes from `position-audit.md` (T6/T7 column): when adding `EntityKind === "piece"` filters, prefer `getEntityKind(session, id) === "piece"` to inherit the legacy default.
+- Once a future cleanup sweep adds `EntityKind = "piece"` to `engine.spawnPiece`, the `PieceType`-fallback branch in `getEntityKind` can be retired without behavior change.
+
+### Helper location
+- `getEntityKind` lives in `packages/chess/src/modifiers/auras.ts` (top of file, exported). Reasoning: T7 is the first consumer; a dedicated `util/entity-kind.ts` file would be premature for a 30-line helper. T10 / T18 import via `import { getEntityKind } from "../modifiers/auras.js"`. If a 3rd consumer arrives outside `modifiers/`, hoist to `util/` then.
+
+### Test harness pattern (REUSE for T10, T18, T28, Wave 8/10)
+- Markers can be raw-inserted in tests until `engine.spawnMarker` lands:
+  ```ts
+  const markerId = engine.session.nextId();
+  engine.session.insert(markerId, "EntityKind", "marker");
+  engine.session.insert(markerId, "MarkerKind", "treasure"); // any locked kind
+  engine.session.insert(markerId, "Position", squareIndex);
+  // optional: AuraSpec, MarkerLifetime, MarkerOwner, MarkerLinks
+  ```
+- This pattern is BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE — the type system accepts it (T6 added the attrs). When T10's factory lands, tests can migrate or coexist.
+- Square index reminder: file + rank*8. e2 = 12, d3 = 19, e1 = 4. Same convention as T2's harness notes.
+
+### Subtle behavior contracts pinned by tests
+1. **Marker → adjacent piece**: marker with `AuraSpec` IS picked up as an emitter; pieces in range receive contributions normally. Locked.
+2. **Piece → marker (benign noop)**: marker WITHIN range of a piece's aura DOES receive an `AuraContributions` fact. Documented as benign because nothing reads piece-only attrs (HpBonus, AttackBonus, etc.) off a marker. **Contract**: if a future feature exposes piece-attrs on markers, this test will catch the hazard. T10 / T22 must NOT introduce piece-attr reads on marker entities without revisiting this test.
+
+### Surprises / gotchas
+- `Session<…>` IS NOT generic at the public-API surface used here — `session.allFacts()` returns untyped facts. Casts (`f.value as Square`) are still needed. The `getEntityKind` signature uses raw `Session` (no generic param) to match the existing aura code's style; same casts apply.
+- `EntityKindValue` is exported from `schema.ts:32` (T6). Use the type alias, not a string-literal union, when typing helpers.
+- The pre-existing `id > 0` filter in `collectPositionedEntities` is RETAINED as defense-in-depth: `EntityKind` defaults catch most cases but `GAME_ENTITY` (id 0) and `PRESET_STATE_ENTITY` (id -1) might accidentally carry a `Position` fact via unrelated subsystems. Belt + suspenders.
+- Existing `findPieceAtSquare` test helper in auras.test.ts pre-dates the marker era — it returns the FIRST entity at a square. With markers in play it could now match a marker. Tests in this file place markers on squares with no overlap with pieces under test, so this hasn't surfaced; downstream tests should prefer an EntityKind-filtered helper or use distinct squares.
+
+### Verification
+- `bun test packages/chess/src/modifiers/auras.test.ts` → 12 pass / 0 fail (10 existing + 2 new), 165 expects
+- `bun run check` → exit 0, **2006 tests** across 170 files (T7 added +2; T8 landed in the same wave window contributing +5)
+- LSP diagnostics: clean on `auras.ts` AND `auras.test.ts`

+
+## [2026-04-26T08:32Z] T10 marker entity factory (engine.spawnMarker / removeMarker / getMarkersAtSquare)
+
+### Method signatures (added to ChessEngine in `packages/chess/src/engine.ts`)
+```ts
+spawnMarker(
+  kind: MarkerKindValue,
+  square: Square,
+  opts: {
+    readonly lifetime: MarkerLifetimeValue;
+    readonly owner?: PieceColor;
+    readonly links?: readonly EntityId[];
+  },
+): EntityId;
+
+removeMarker(id: EntityId): void;            // idempotent — guarded by per-attr `get` check
+getMarkersAtSquare(square: Square): EntityId[]; // sorted by MARKER_KIND_PRIORITY asc, tie-break by entity id asc
+```
+
+- File location: `packages/chess/src/engine.ts:920-998` (right after
+  `spawnPiece`, before `dealDamage`). Did NOT conflict with T9's
+  `rng()` / `setRngSeed()` block (those are above in the same class).
+
+### Priority table location
+- `MARKER_KIND_PRIORITY` is a module-level const in `engine.ts`
+  (above the `ChessEngine` class). Hardcoded verbatim from T0 ADR
+  in `decisions.md` § Marker Collision Priority. Do NOT introduce
+  a runtime override path — adding a new marker kind is a
+  plan-amending event.
+- `MARKER_ATTRS` (sibling const) is the canonical list of attrs
+  `removeMarker` retracts: EntityKind, MarkerKind, Position,
+  MarkerLifetime, MarkerOwner, MarkerLinks. T18 and T30 should
+  reference this same list when implementing on-piece-entered-marker
+  cleanup and the despawn-marker primitive (don't rebuild it).
+
+### Tie-break choice (LOCKED for T18 dispatch parity)
+- Secondary sort in `getMarkersAtSquare` is `(a as number) - (b as number)`
+  — entity id ASCENDING. So two markers of the SAME kind on one
+  square always resolve in spawn order (older id wins). T18's
+  `on-piece-entered-marker` MUST iterate the result of
+  `getMarkersAtSquare` directly to inherit this ordering — do not
+  re-sort, do not invert.
+
+### Optional-fact discipline (cross-task contract)
+- `MarkerOwner` and `MarkerLinks` are ONLY inserted when
+  caller-supplied. `engine.session.get(id, "MarkerOwner")` returns
+  `undefined` for neutral markers — consumers MUST treat undefined
+  as "no owner" (do not coerce to a default color). T18/T28/T29/T30
+  primitives that read MarkerOwner need an explicit `=== undefined`
+  check.
+- `removeMarker` retracts each attr individually (guarded by a
+  presence check) so it is safe on entities that never had owner
+  or links facts. Idempotent — calling twice does not throw.
+
+### Cascade-removal NOT in scope (T30 deferral)
+- `removeMarker` does NOT touch `MarkerLinks` partners. Removing a
+  portal-end marker leaves its paired endpoint intact; T30
+  (despawn-marker primitive) owns paired-cleanup semantics so
+  callers retain control over portal-pair behavior.
+
+### EntityKind discriminator filtering
+- `getMarkersAtSquare` iterates `session.allFacts()` filtering
+  `attr === "Position" && value === square`, then narrows by
+  `session.get(id, "EntityKind") === "marker"`. Confirms T7's
+  EntityKind audit pattern — every Position-attr consumer that
+  cares about pieces vs. markers must perform the same narrowing.
+- Pieces in the standard starting layout do NOT have EntityKind
+  facts seeded yet (T7's job per the audit list). The
+  `getMarkersAtSquare(0)` test on a starting-position rook returns
+  `[]` because `EntityKind` on the rook is `undefined`, which
+  fails the `=== "marker"` check — works either way (filter is
+  positive, not negative).
+
+### Verification
+- `bun test packages/chess/src/engine.spawnMarker.test.ts` → 8 pass / 0 fail / 20 expects
+- `bun run check` → exit 0, **2014 tests** across 171 files (was 1999 after T9; +8 from T10's new file, +7 from T7/T8 parity tests landing in same wave)
