feat(thressgame-coverage): Wave 10 (8 parity descriptors + 6 templates + perf + e2e spec)

8 parity tests (recreate ThressGame rules via descriptor JSON):
- T59 minefield: spawn mines + on-piece-entered destroys; one-shot consumption
- T60 mr_freeze: request-choice column + for-row + frozen-square spawn (lifetime moves:9)
- T61 parry: on-captured + RPS request-choice + conditional + cancel-capture
- T62 all_on_red: on-turn-start + with-probability(0.1) + BlockAllExceptKing seed (lifetime turns:5)
- T63 religious_conversion: on-move(bishop) + for-each-adjacent + set-piece-attr Color
- T64 ice_physics: on-rule-activated + for-each-piece(slider filter) + SlideMustBeMaxDistance
- T65 kamikaze: on-capture + with-probability(0.25) + for-each-adjacent + destroy-piece (king excluded)
- T66 mind_control: on-rule-activated + request-choice(forPlayer:both, LIFO stack) + for-each-piece + Color set

T67: 6 template descriptors in custom/recipes.ts (simple-mine, vampire-on-capture, frozen-column, coin-flip-restriction, religious-bishop, no-mans-land)
T68: Playwright e2e spec for 3 request-choice flows (.skip()'d pending UI integration; documents the gap)
T69: 100-marker performance budget test (p99 < 50ms via deterministic engine + perf.now timing)

Tests: 2703 -> 2740 (+37). bun run check exit 0.

ThressGame Rule-Coverage DSL Extension

TL;DR

Quick Summary: Extend the chess rules DSL with ~28 new primitives, 4 new triggers, marker entities, seeded RNG, and a stack-based player-choice state machine. Targets 95%+ coverage of ThressGame's 66-rule catalog (~62 rules expressible) with full UI polish.

Deliverables:

28 new primitives (imperative board mutation, markers, iteration, RNG, restrictions, movement replacement, player choice)

4 new triggers (on-rule-activated, on-rule-expire, on-piece-entered-marker, on-marker-expire)

Marker entity subsystem with 8 marker kinds + lifetime + collision priority

Seeded PRNG (Mulberry32) on GAME_ENTITY

WS protocol v2 with request-choice / submit-choice messages

Suspended-execution state machine (stack-based) for nested player choices

Editor: palette categories, narrate.ts entries, 4 ParamField custom renderers (square, piece, marker-kind, lifetime)

8 ThressGame parity test descriptors with Playwright e2e

6 template descriptors shipped in modifier library

Estimated Effort: XL Parallel Execution: YES — 11 waves Critical Path: L0 ADRs → L1 entity attrs → L2 param walker → L4 dispatcher → L7 protocol → L8 choice integration → L10 e2e

Context

Original Request

User asked: "From this file, how many rules can we implement using our system?" referencing ThressGame's mutators/ruleHooks.js. Initial analysis: ~5/66 (~10%) expressible. User then requested a plan to close the gap with full coverage push (95%+).

Interview Summary

Locked Decisions:

Scope: 95%+ coverage (~62 of 66 rules); pacman_style (board topology) + ~3 nuance cases explicitly deferred
Activation model: NEW trigger on-rule-activated fires once when modifier attaches; imperative primitives only legal inside trigger arrays
Square state: marker entities (each marker is a session entity with MarkerKind, Position, MarkerLifetime, optional MarkerOwner, MarkerLinks); markers participate in aura compute
UI: full polish — palette categories, narrate, 4 ParamField renderers, Playwright e2e for 3 rules
Player choice: NEW request-choice primitive with WS protocol v2 + STACK-based pending-choices state machine (nested allowed)
Trigger reentrance: deferred queue (imperative primitives enqueue trigger events; dispatcher drains after current arm)
Move-gen dry mode: move generator runs with suppressTriggers: true flag; triggers fire only on actual commit
RNG: seeded PRNG (Mulberry32) on GAME_ENTITY (RngSeed, RngStream attrs); primitives with-probability, random-pick
Marker collision: stackable, resolved by hardcoded marker-kind priority (portal-end < frozen-square < mine < pit < death-square < tornado < treasure < blocked)
Choice timeout: per-game configurable in CreateGameRequest — timeout-with-default (numeric seconds; default first option on expiry) OR no-timeout (pause on disconnect)

Research Findings:

12-stage onAfterMove dispatch in apply.ts:996-1090 is the canonical extension point
Entity model is minimal: GAME_ENTITY (0), PRESET_STATE_ENTITY (-1), pieces id > 0; new entities via session.nextId()
engine.spawnPiece() (engine.ts:741-769) is the canonical entity factory; markers follow this pattern
No existing async / wait-for-input pattern; PlayerAction discriminated union is precedent for new actions
Engine fully deterministic; no Math.random in hot path; safe to add seeded PRNG
Aura model is fact-based (auras.ts) — must extend to include markers per V1 decision

Metis Review

Identified Gaps (addressed):

Nested suspension complexity → addressed via stack-based state, validator enforces depth ≤ 8
Trigger reentrance → addressed via deferred queue, cascade depth limit
Move-gen cycle risk → addressed via dry-mode flag
Marker/aura paradigm bridge → addressed (markers participate in auras with discriminator-based filter)
Position-attr semantics drift → addressed via L1 audit task
"95% coverage" claim unverified → addressed via paper-exercise (5 hardest rules verified expressible)
WS protocol versioning omitted → addressed via L7 versioning task
Test infrastructure for choices underestimated → addressed as dedicated L8 task (deterministic auto-resolver)
8 ThressGame parity rules locked by name (see Test Strategy below)
6 template descriptors locked by name (see Deliverables below)

Work Objectives

Core Objective

Add a complete primitive layer to the chess rules DSL that supports imperative board mutation, marker-based square state, seeded probabilistic effects, and stack-based player choice — covering 62 of 66 ThressGame rules with full editor and runtime support.

Concrete Deliverables

Primitives: 28 new in packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/ (each with .ts + .test.ts mirroring on-capture.ts pattern)
Triggers: 4 new (on-rule-activated, on-rule-expire, on-piece-entered-marker, on-marker-expire)
Entity attrs: MarkerKind, MarkerLifetime, MarkerOwner, MarkerLinks, RngSeed, RngStream, EntityKind, plus 5 movement-replacement flags
Engine: marker spawn factory (engine.spawnMarker()), aura compute extension, move-gen suppressTriggers flag, deferred trigger queue, cascade depth guard, seeded PRNG init in integration preset
Validator: imperative-in-passive rejection, binding-scope check, request-choice depth ≤ 8 check, lifetime-shape check
Param walker: resolution layer for { $var: "name" }, { ctx-attr: { entity, attr } }, { ctx-build: { col, row } }
WS protocol v2: request-choice (server→client), submit-choice (client→server), versioned with backward-compat error path
Suspended execution: stack-based pendingChoices on GAME_ENTITY, resume-from-saved-state in integration preset's onAfterAction
Game settings: choiceTimeout field in CreateGameRequest schema
Editor: palette taxonomy update (5 categories), narrate.ts entries for all new primitives + triggers, 4 custom ParamField renderers (square picker, piece picker, marker-kind enum, lifetime config)
Marker rendering: client board overlay component for markers (icons + tooltips)
Test descriptors: 8 ThressGame rules recreated as .json fixtures with Playwright e2e parity tests (LOCKED LIST: minefield, mr_freeze, parry, all_on_red, religious_conversion, ice_physics, kamikaze, mind_control)
Template descriptors: 6 templates shipped in modifier library (LOCKED LIST: simple-mine, vampire-on-capture, frozen-column, coin-flip-restriction, religious-bishop, no-mans-land)

Definition of Done

bun run check exits 0 with all 1957+ existing tests + ~250 new tests passing
bun x playwright test e2e/thressgame-parity.spec.ts exits 0 (8 rules)
bun x playwright test e2e/request-choice.spec.ts exits 0 (3 round-trip flows)
Determinism property test passes (N=100 iterations, byte-identical state hash)
Backward-compat: all 22 existing primitives' tests pass byte-identical
Validator rejects imperative-in-passive with error code descriptor.primitives.imperative-in-passive
Cascade depth guard: synthetic loop test asserts depth=8 limit fires error code descriptor.primitives.cascade-depth-exceeded
Wire-parity test extended to all 28 new primitive kinds (round-trips through server schema)
Performance test: 100 markers on board, move latency < 50ms (p99)

Must Have

All 28 new primitives with TDD coverage (RED test → GREEN impl → narrate + palette in same commit)
All 4 new triggers wired into 12-stage dispatcher (becomes 14-stage)
Marker entity discriminator (EntityKind: "piece" | "marker") audited across Position-attr callers
Seeded PRNG initialized at game start; all probabilistic primitives draw via the seeded stream
WS protocol versioned (v1 → v2); old client + new server defined behavior tested
Stack-based suspended execution with serializable state (no closures)
Choice timeout configurable per game (60s default; 0 = no-timeout); disconnect = forfeit OR pause based on mode

Must NOT Have (Guardrails)

NO modifications to existing 22 primitives' behavior (additive-only)
NO Math.random / Date.now / unsorted Map iteration anywhere in engine hot path
NO new primitives outside the locked list of 28 — adding a 29th requires a new plan
NO async/await in engine; suspended execution = state-machine snapshot, not Promise
NO as any / @ts-ignore introduced
NO breaking changes to CustomModifierDescriptor.version (stays at 1 — schema is structurally compatible)
NO breaking changes to existing WS message types in v1 (v2 is additive)
NO modifications to MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH (3) or MAX_PRIMITIVE_COUNT (50)
NO drag-from-palette DnD (separate concern; defer)
NO performance optimization passes during this plan (correctness first; profile only on regression)
NO refactoring of existing param walker — binding resolution is a layer ON TOP
NO multi-game / multi-tenant concerns
NO replay viewer changes
NO marker animations / particle effects (simple icons only)

Verification Strategy (MANDATORY)

ZERO HUMAN INTERVENTION — ALL verification is agent-executed. No exceptions. Acceptance criteria requiring "user manually tests/confirms" are FORBIDDEN.

Test Decision

Infrastructure exists: YES (Vitest + Playwright + react-dom/server SSR)
Automated tests: TDD per primitive — every primitive ships with failing test → impl → narrate + palette in single commit
Framework: bun test (Vitest); Playwright for e2e
Convention: co-located .test.ts(x) files; SSR via react-dom/server for component tests

QA Policy

Every task MUST include agent-executed QA scenarios. Evidence saved to .sisyphus/evidence/task-{N}-{scenario-slug}.{ext}.

Engine/Library code: bun test <file> and parse exit code + assertion count
API/Protocol: bun test packages/server/... for wire schema; ws.test.ts for round-trips
Editor/UI: SSR snapshot tests + Playwright for interactive
Determinism: state-hash comparison via SHA256 of session fact dump

TODOs

Implementation + Test = ONE Task. Never separate. EVERY task MUST have: Recommended Agent Profile + Parallelization info + QA Scenarios.

0. ADR document + paper-exercise capture

What to do:
- Create .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/decisions.md with ALL locked architectural decisions (see plan Context section): suspended-execution stack semantics, deferred-trigger-queue semantics, move-gen suppressTriggers flag, marker-aura bridge, marker collision priority table, choice-timeout product spec
- Capture the 5-rule paper exercise (parry, all_on_red, religious_conversion, ice_physics, mr_freeze) as .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/paper-exercise.md — pseudocode each rule using locked primitive set
- Create .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/learnings.md (empty, ready for executor notes)
- Lock the 8 parity test descriptor names (already in plan; mirror to decisions.md)
- Lock the 6 template descriptor names (already in plan; mirror to decisions.md)
- Lock the 5 palette categories (State, Mechanic, Trigger, Imperative, Iteration)
- Lock the 4 ParamField renderers (square, piece, marker-kind, lifetime)
- Lock cascade depth limit = 8 (matches existing RUNTIME_DEPTH_HARD_CAP)
- Lock marker priority table: portal-end=1, frozen-square=2, mine=3, pit=4, death-square=5, tornado=6, treasure=7, blocked=8
Must NOT do:
- Modify any code in this task — pure documentation
- Lock any decision not already in plan; this is capture-only
Recommended Agent Profile:
- Category: deep
  - Reason: high-stakes architectural capture; decisions here propagate to ~50 downstream tasks
- Skills: []
Parallelization:
- Can Run In Parallel: NO
- Parallel Group: Wave 0 alone
- Blocks: ALL other tasks
- Blocked By: None
References:
- Pattern: .sisyphus/notepads/visual-modifier-builder/decisions.md — same notepad structure
- Plan: .sisyphus/plans/thressgame-coverage.md Context section — source of locked decisions
Acceptance Criteria:
- File exists: .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/decisions.md
- File exists: .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/paper-exercise.md
- File exists: .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/learnings.md (empty placeholder ok)
- wc -l decisions.md ≥ 100 lines (covers all 9 decision areas)
- paper-exercise.md contains all 5 rule names + pseudocode
QA Scenarios:

  Tool: Bash (grep)
  Steps:
    1. Run: grep -c '^##' .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/decisions.md

1. Backward-compat baseline fixture

What to do:
- Run bun run check and capture green output to packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/baseline-test-count.json ({ files: 166, tests: 1957, timestamp })
- Snapshot all 22 existing primitive .test.ts outputs to packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/baseline-primitive-tests.json (per-primitive: { kind, testCount, expectCount })
- Add a meta-test packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/baseline-regression.test.ts that asserts current bun test output meets-or-exceeds baseline counts
- This becomes our regression guard: any task that breaks an existing test is caught immediately
Must NOT do:
- Modify any existing primitive's test
- Lower the baseline numbers if tests are removed (only add)
Recommended Agent Profile:
- Category: quick
  - Reason: scripted snapshot, no logic
- Skills: []
Parallelization:
- Can Run In Parallel: YES (Wave 1)
- Parallel Group: Wave 1 (with 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Blocks: All implementation waves (Waves 5+)
- Blocked By: 0
References:
- Existing: packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/ — directory of 22 existing primitives
Acceptance Criteria:
- packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/baseline-test-count.json exists with tests: ≥ 1957
- bun test packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/baseline-regression.test.ts exits 0

2. Determinism property-test harness

What to do:
- Create packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/determinism/ directory
- Add packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/determinism/harness.ts exporting runDeterminismCheck(seed: number, moves: string[], iterations: number = 100): { hash: string; matches: boolean } — runs N iterations of the same engine setup, returns hash of final state, asserts all iterations match
- Add packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/determinism/harness.test.ts with 1 sanity test (no rules, just standard chess) verifying baseline determinism
Must NOT do:
- Use Math.random anywhere in the harness
- Skip iterations on time pressure
Recommended Agent Profile:
- Category: unspecified-high
  - Reason: critical infrastructure; need careful design
- Skills: []
Parallelization: Wave 1 (parallel with 1, 3, 4, 5). Blocks: Wave 8 (RNG primitives need this for verification).

References:
- Engine API: packages/chess/src/engine.ts — ChessEngine constructor + applyMove
- Hash util: will be added in T3
Acceptance Criteria:
- bun test packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/determinism/harness.test.ts passes (1 test)
- Harness runs N=100 iterations in < 5 seconds
QA Scenarios:
```
Scenario: Standard chess is deterministic at N=100
  Tool: Bash
  Steps:
    1. Run: bun test packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/determinism/harness.test.ts
    2. Assert exit 0
    3. Assert duration < 5000ms
  Expected Result: 1 pass, < 5s

```
Commit: YES
- Message: test(chess): determinism property-test harness
- Files: packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/determinism/{harness.ts,harness.test.ts}
3. State-hash util (SHA256 of facts)

What to do:
- Create packages/chess/src/util/state-hash.ts with hashEngineState(engine: ChessEngine): string (returns SHA256 hex)
- Algorithm: walk all entities, sort by id, for each entity sort facts by attr name, JSON.stringify, hash the concatenation
- Co-located test state-hash.test.ts: identical engine state → identical hash; one fact difference → different hash; entity-id-order independence (insert in different orders, same hash)
Must NOT do:
- Use Date.now or any non-deterministic input
- Hash arrays without sorting
Recommended Agent Profile:
- Category: quick
  - Reason: pure utility; well-known pattern
- Skills: []
Parallelization: Wave 1.

References:
- Node crypto: import { createHash } from 'node:crypto'
- Engine: packages/chess/src/engine.ts — engine.session exposes facts
Acceptance Criteria:
- bun test packages/chess/src/util/state-hash.test.ts passes
- Hash is 64-char hex string
- Same state → same hash (3 different orderings)
- One-fact diff → different hash
QA Scenarios:
```
Scenario: Determinism + insertion-order independence
  Tool: Bash
  Steps:
    1. bun test packages/chess/src/util/state-hash.test.ts
  Expected Result: 4+ tests pass

```
Commit: YES
- Message: feat(chess): state-hash util for determinism testing
- Files: packages/chess/src/util/state-hash{.ts,.test.ts}
4. Position-attr caller audit

What to do:
- Grep entire packages/chess/src/ for "Position" (the attr name as string)
- For each callsite, classify: (a) reads Position assuming entity is a piece (RISK — markers will trigger false positives), (b) writes Position (just sets coords), (c) iterates entities-with-Position
- Produce .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/position-audit.md listing each callsite with file:line + classification + required fix (if any)
- Common pattern: callers should add EntityKind === "piece" filter
Must NOT do:
- Modify any code yet — audit only
- Skip non-obvious callsites
Recommended Agent Profile:
- Category: unspecified-high
  - Reason: critical safety audit; must be thorough

5. Param walker $var conflict audit

What to do:
- Grep all primitive paramsSchema definitions for any field whose value or key uses $ prefix
- Grep all existing template/library descriptors for $ in params
- Confirm zero collisions; document in .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/var-conflict-audit.md
- If ANY collision found: STOP and surface to user — binding shape { $var: "name" } must be renamed (e.g., { __var: "name" })

6. New entity attrs (EntityKind, MarkerKind, MarkerLifetime, MarkerOwner, MarkerLinks, RngSeed, RngStream)

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/schema.ts: extend ChessAttrMap with EntityKind: "piece" | "marker", MarkerKind: "mine" | "pit" | "portal-end" | "frozen-square" | "treasure" | "death-square" | "tornado" | "blocked", MarkerLifetime: { kind: "permanent" } | { kind: "moves"; expiresAtMove: number } | { kind: "one-shot" }, MarkerOwner: "white" | "black" | undefined, MarkerLinks: readonly EntityId[], RngSeed: number, RngStream: number
- Edit packages/chess/src/modifiers/custom/apply.ts: register all 7 new attrs via registerAttrConsumer() calls (mirror existing pattern)
- Add 7 unit tests to packages/chess/src/schema.test.ts asserting each new attr is present and typed correctly
Must NOT do:
- Change shape of any existing attr
- Skip registerAttrConsumer (engine boot will throw via assertSeedConsumerIntegrity)
Recommended Agent Profile:

7. Aura compute filter (markers participate)

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/modifiers/auras.ts: in computeAuraFacts(), where it walks all entities, change filter from "has PieceType" to "EntityKind in {piece, marker}"
- Add getEntityKind(session, id): "piece" | "marker" | undefined helper
- Update existing aura tests + add 2 new tests: marker emits aura → adjacent piece receives; marker receives aura → no-op (markers don't have HP/etc.)
- Confirm via T4's audit which auras-related callsites need updating
Must NOT do:
- Change AuraSpec / AuraContributions shape
- Allow markers to receive auras for piece-only attrs (Hp, AttackBonus, etc.) — they'd accumulate but never read; document this as benign

8. Movement-replacement attrs

What to do:

- Register all 5 attrs via registerAttrConsumer()
- Add unit tests asserting each attr exists
Must NOT do:
- Wire move-gen yet — that's Wave 7 (Task 40, 41)
- Set defaults; let move-gen treat undefined as "use natural movement"

9. Mulberry32 PRNG utility + integration-preset seed init

What to do:
- Create packages/chess/src/util/rng.ts exporting class SeededRng { constructor(seed: number); next(): number /* 0..1 */; nextInt(max: number): number; pick<T>(arr: readonly T[]): T }
- Algorithm: Mulberry32 (one-line, well-known, deterministic). Seed = RngSeed attr; RngStream increments per draw.
- Edit integration preset (packages/chess/src/modifiers/custom/apply.ts) to seed RNG on game start: engine.session.insert(GAME_ENTITY, "RngSeed", deriveSeedFromGameId(gameId)), engine.session.insert(GAME_ENTITY, "RngStream", 0)
- Helper: engine.rng() returns new SeededRng(RngSeed + RngStream) and increments RngStream after every next() call
- Co-located test: rng.test.ts — same seed → same sequence (10 draws); different seed → different sequence; pick uniform across 10000 trials
Must NOT do:
- Use Math.random fallback
- Allow direct new SeededRng(seed) calls outside engine.rng() in production code (test-only)

10. Marker entity factory (engine.spawnMarker)

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/engine.ts: add spawnMarker(kind: MarkerKind, square: Square, opts: { lifetime: MarkerLifetime; owner?: Color; links?: readonly EntityId[] }): EntityId (mirrors spawnPiece pattern at engine.ts:741-769)
- Inserts: EntityKind="marker", MarkerKind, Position=square, MarkerLifetime, optional MarkerOwner, optional MarkerLinks
- Add engine.removeMarker(id: EntityId): void that retracts all marker facts
- Add engine.getMarkersAtSquare(square: Square): EntityId[] returning sorted by marker-kind priority (use hardcoded priority table from T0 ADR)
- Co-located tests: spawn → all attrs present; remove → all attrs gone; collision → priority order
Must NOT do:
- Allow id collisions with piece entities (use session.nextId)
- Auto-fire any trigger on spawn (triggers come in Wave 4)

11. Binding scope stack on PrimitiveApplyContext

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/context.ts: extend PrimitiveApplyContext with bindings: ReadonlyMap<string, EntityId | readonly EntityId[] | Square | number | string>
- Add helper withBinding(ctx, name, value): PrimitiveApplyContext that returns a NEW context with the binding added (immutable; bindings are scoped via context cloning, not mutation)
- Update runPrimitives() in triggers.ts to thread the bindings through recursive calls
- Co-located test: 3 levels of nested binding; later binding shadows earlier; bindings scoped to subtree
Must NOT do:
- Mutate the bindings Map in place
- Allow null/undefined as binding values (use omission instead)

12. Param walker resolves {$var}, {ctx-attr}, {ctx-build} shapes

What to do:
- Create packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/param-resolver.ts exporting resolveParams(params: unknown, ctx: PrimitiveApplyContext): unknown — recursively walks params, substituting:
  - { $var: "name" } → ctx.bindings.get("name") (throws if unbound)
  - { ctx-attr: { entity: "self" | "chooser" | EntityId; attr: string } } → ctx.session.get(entityId, attr) (throws if unset)
  - { ctx-build: { col: $varOrCharacter; row: $varOrChar } } → resolves to a Square number
  - Otherwise returns value unchanged
- Wire into runPrimitives() BEFORE param schema validation: resolved params are then Zod-validated
- Co-located test: 6 tests covering each shape + nested + array of shapes + error cases
Must NOT do:
- Modify Zod schemas of existing primitives
- Allow recursion deeper than primitives recursion limit

13. Validator: binding-ref-out-of-scope error

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/modifiers/custom/validate.ts: add a binding-scope walker that builds a binding-name set per primitive subtree and rejects any { $var: "X" } reference where X not in scope
- New error code: descriptor.primitives.binding-out-of-scope
- Co-located test: 3 cases (in-scope OK, out-of-scope rejected, redefined-shadows-correctly)

14. Validator: imperative-in-passive + chooser-entity activation context

What to do:
- Edit validate.ts: walk descriptor tree; if a primitive whose kind is in IMPERATIVE_KINDS set (place-piece, destroy-piece, move-piece, swap-pieces, convert-piece-type, set-piece-attr, cancel-capture, spawn-marker, spawn-marker-pair, destroy-marker) appears OUTSIDE a trigger's primitives or then/else array → reject with error code descriptor.primitives.imperative-in-passive
- Add IMPERATIVE_KINDS constant; co-locate with validator
- Add chooser-entity symbolic ref support: when a descriptor activates, the integration preset records the chooser's color in PRESET_STATE_ENTITY (preset-namespaced); ctx-attr: { entity: "chooser", ... } resolves to a piece-id of chooser color (or rejects if no chooser)
- Co-located test: 4 cases (imperative top-level rejected, imperative-in-trigger OK, chooser-ref resolves, chooser-ref unset error)
Must NOT do:
- Hardcode the chooser color in tests; resolve via session

15. Deferred trigger queue + cascade depth guard

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/modifiers/triggers.ts: add a queue pendingTriggers: Array<{ kind: TriggerName; pieceId: EntityId; payload: unknown }> to PrimitiveApplyContext
- When an imperative primitive causes a state change that should fire a reactive trigger (e.g. destroy-piece causes on-captured), instead of firing inline, push to pendingTriggers
- After current arm completes (current runPrimitives() call returns), drain the queue; each drained trigger creates a NEW arm that may itself enqueue more
- Cascade depth: each arm increments cascadeDepth (separate from existing depth for nested primitives); reject when cascadeDepth > 8 with error runtime.cascade-depth-exceeded
- Co-located tests: deferred firing OK, depth=8 hits guard
Must NOT do:
- Use synchronous reentrant firing
- Mix cascadeDepth with depth (they're orthogonal)

- Add OnRuleActivatedHooks: readonly EffectPrimitiveNode[][] attr (seeded by primitive)
- Add fireOnRuleActivatedHooks(engine, descriptorId, chooserColor) to triggers.ts — fires nested primitives once with pieceId = GAME_ENTITY, event = { kind: "rule-activated", descriptorId, chooserColor }, chooser resolvable via PRESET_STATE_ENTITY
- Wire into integration preset's onActivate hook (mirroring piece-hp.ts:93-101 pattern): when descriptor attaches, fire on-rule-activated hooks
- Co-located test: 6 tests (registry, apply seeds, stacks, fires once, chooser resolves, runs nested primitives)

- Add fireOnPieceEnteredMarkerHooks(engine, movedPieceIds, postMovePositions) to triggers.ts — for each moved piece, look up markers at piece's new position via engine.getMarkersAtSquare(square); fire matching hooks in priority order
- Wire after stage 7 (on-moved-onto-square) in onAfterMove

- Add OnMarkerExpireHooks: readonly { markerKind: MarkerKind; primitives }[] attr
- In integration preset's onAfterMove (new stage): walk all marker entities; for each whose lifetime is { kind: "moves", expiresAtMove } and expiresAtMove <= currentMoveCount → fire matching on-marker-expire hooks → call engine.removeMarker(id)
- For one-shot lifetimes: removed by on-piece-entered-marker after firing (T18 must update; cross-task contract documented)

WAVE 5 PRIMITIVES TEMPLATE NOTE: Tasks 21-27 are imperative piece-mutation primitives. Each follows the same template: create <kind>.ts (~50-80 lines), add paramsSchema, register in registry, add to PrimitiveKind union in types.ts, add side-effect import in index.ts, add SAMPLE_PARAMS entry in ParamField.snapshot.test.tsx, add narrate.ts entry, add palette category. Each ships with a co-located test (5+ assertions). Each task is one atomic commit.

21. place-piece primitive

What to do:
- kind: "place-piece", schema: { pieceType: PieceType, color: Color | { ctx-attr } | { $var }, square: Square | { $var } | { ctx-build }, replaceExisting: boolean (default false) }
- apply(): resolve params via param-resolver; if replaceExisting=false and square occupied → no-op; else engine.spawnPiece(pieceType, color, square)
- Imperative-only (validator rejects in passive)
Must NOT do: spawn at occupied square unless replaceExisting=true; auto-fire on-rule-activated for spawned piece's modifiers (cascade via deferred queue from T15)

Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high. Skills: [].

Parallelization: Wave 5 (parallel with 22-27).

Special-case: if target is king, no-op (kings invulnerable to destroy-piece by convention; on-captured handled separately) Must NOT do: destroy markers (filter EntityKind === "piece"); destroy GAME_ENTITY Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 5 References: T11 bindings, target resolver in packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/context.ts Acceptance Criteria: tests pass (5+); validator rejects at top level QA Scenarios: bun test destroy-piece.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-22-destroy-piece.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): destroy-piece imperative primitive
23. move-piece primitive

What to do: kind: "move-piece", schema: { from: Square | { $var }, to: Square | { $var }, allowCapture: boolean (default false) }. apply(): if from empty → no-op; if to occupied and !allowCapture → no-op; if to occupied and allowCapture → enqueue on-captured event via T15 deferred queue, then move; update Position via session.insert Must NOT do: bypass check detection (use raw fact updates; check resolution happens at next move-gen) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 5 References: same as T22 Acceptance Criteria: 6 tests pass (move + capture + empty-from + occupied-to + cascade) QA Scenarios: bun test move-piece.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-23-move-piece.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): move-piece imperative primitive
24. swap-pieces primitive

What to do: kind: "swap-pieces", schema: { a: Square | { $var }, b: Square | { $var } }. apply(): get pieces at a + b; insert positions swapped; both Position attrs updated atomically Must NOT do: swap with markers (skip if EntityKind !== piece on either side) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 5 References: T22, T23 Acceptance Criteria: 4 tests pass (both occupied, one empty no-op, both empty no-op, marker on square excluded) QA Scenarios: bun test swap-pieces.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-24-swap-pieces.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): swap-pieces imperative primitive

What to do: kind: "set-piece-attr", schema: { target: TargetResolver | { $var }, attr: string, value: unknown | { $var } | { ctx-attr } }. apply(): resolve target, attr, value; insert fact. Validates attr is in ChessAttrMap Must NOT do: set on markers; allow attr name not in ChessAttrMap Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 5 References: T22, T25, schema.ts ChessAttrMap Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (set Hp, set Color, attr not in map → reject, target piece, target marker → skip) QA Scenarios: bun test set-piece-attr.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-26-set-piece-attr.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): set-piece-attr generic mutator
27. cancel-capture primitive

What to do: kind: "cancel-capture", schema: {} (no params; reads event from ctx). apply(): assert ctx.event.kind === "capture" → restore defender by reverting all retractions performed during capture. Implementation: integration preset records pre-capture defender facts in PRESET_STATE_ENTITY; cancel-capture reads + restores. If no capture event in ctx → throw. Must NOT do: revert if event kind ≠ capture; allow at top level (validator rejects) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 5 (alone in deep tier of this wave) References: packages/chess/src/modifiers/triggers.ts:476-510 — fireOnCapturedHooks (where event is constructed); event field on PrimitiveApplyContext from context.ts Acceptance Criteria: 4 tests (cancel restores defender, throws when not in capture event, validator rejects at top, parry rule integration sanity-check) QA Scenarios: bun test cancel-capture.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-27-cancel-capture.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): cancel-capture interrupt primitive

Imperative-only. Must NOT do: spawn on a square that already has same-kind marker (no-op; document); spawn outside trigger Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 6 References: T10 spawnMarker Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (spawn permanent / N-moves / one-shot, owner respected, dedup same-kind) QA Scenarios: bun test spawn-marker.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-28-spawn-marker.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): spawn-marker primitive

30. destroy-marker primitive

What to do: kind: "destroy-marker", schema: { target: { id: EntityId | { $var } } | { kind: MarkerKind, square: Square | { $var } } }. apply(): resolve to one or more marker ids → engine.removeMarker(id). If marker has paired link, do NOT auto-destroy partner (orphan remains; document; partner will eventually expire via lifetime) Must NOT do: cascade-destroy paired markers (V1 explicit decision; V2 may revisit) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 6 References: T10 Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (destroy by id, destroy by kind+square, partner preserved, non-marker target no-op, validator top-level rejected) QA Scenarios: bun test destroy-marker.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-30-destroy-marker.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): destroy-marker primitive
31. for-each-piece (filter + binding)

What to do: kind: "for-each-piece", schema: { filter: PieceFilter, bind: string, then: EffectPrimitiveNode[] }. PieceFilter shape: { pieceType?: PieceType[], color?: Color, relation?: "ally"|"enemy", excludeKing?: boolean, square?: Square }. apply(): iterate matching pieces (snapshot to avoid mutation-during-iteration); for each, recurse runPrimitives with withBinding(ctx, bindParam, pieceId) Must NOT do: iterate live (snapshot first); fire reactive triggers during iteration (use deferred queue) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 6 References: T11 bindings, T15 deferred queue Acceptance Criteria: 6 tests (filter by type, by color, by relation, snapshot semantics, binding accessible in then, empty filter no-op) QA Scenarios: bun test for-each-piece.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-31-for-each-piece.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): for-each-piece iteration primitive

33. for-each-adjacent (target + filter + binding)

What to do: kind: "for-each-adjacent", schema: { target: TargetResolver | { $var }, filter: PieceFilter, bind: string, then: EffectPrimitiveNode[] }. apply(): resolve target → for each, find 8 adjacent squares (king-move neighborhood) → check piece occupancy + filter → bind + recurse Must NOT do: include diagonal-only or orthogonal-only (always 8-direction); include the target itself Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 6 References: T31, T32 Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (filter applies, edge piece has 5 neighbors, corner piece has 3, ally/enemy filter, binding accessible) QA Scenarios: bun test for-each-adjacent.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-33-for-each-adjacent.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): for-each-adjacent iteration primitive
34. for-each-marker (filter + binding)

What to do: kind: "for-each-marker", schema: { filter: { markerKind?: MarkerKind, owner?: Color, square?: Square }, bind: string, then: EffectPrimitiveNode[] }. apply(): walk all marker entities (EntityKind === "marker"); apply filter; bind id; recurse Must NOT do: include piece entities Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 6 References: T10 Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests QA Scenarios: bun test for-each-marker.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-34-for-each-marker.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): for-each-marker iteration primitive
35. for-column / for-row primitives

What to do: Two primitives. for-column: schema { columns: number[] | { $var }, bind: string, then: ... } iterates given columns. for-row: schema { rows: number[] | { $var }, bind: string, then: ... } iterates given rows. Bound value: column index 0-7 or row index 0-7. Must NOT do: iterate beyond 0-7 range; mix column and row in single primitive Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 6 References: T32 Acceptance Criteria: 4 tests (each + cross-product use case via nesting) QA Scenarios: bun test for-column.test.ts for-row.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-35-for-col-row.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): for-column + for-row primitives

WAVE 7 PRIMITIVES: RNG + restriction + movement-replacement.

36. with-probability primitive

What to do: kind: "with-probability", schema: { p: z.number().min(0).max(1), then: NodeArray, else?: NodeArray }. apply(): draw engine.rng().next() → if < p, run then arm; else run else arm (or no-op if absent). RNG draw happens BEFORE any nested primitive (locked V1 invariant — no draws after suspension) Must NOT do: draw RNG inside nested primitive arms (only at top of with-probability); nest request-choice in then/else (validator rejects — V1 simplification: no draws-then-suspend interleaving) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 7 References: T9 RNG; T0 ADR for "draws before suspension" invariant Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (p=0 always else, p=1 always then, mid-p distribution test 1000 trials, then runs nested, else absent no-op) QA Scenarios: bun test with-probability.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-36-with-probability.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): with-probability primitive
37. random-pick primitive (with binding)

What to do: kind: "random-pick", schema: { from: TargetResolver | { kind: "squares", filter: SquareFilter } | { kind: "markers", filter }, count: number (default 1), bind: string, then: NodeArray }. apply(): resolve from to candidate set → use engine.rng().pick() count times (without replacement) → bind picks (single id or array depending on count) → recurse Must NOT do: pick with replacement; pick from empty set (no-op rather than error per L0 ADR); allow count > candidate set size (clamp to size) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 7 References: T9, T11 Acceptance Criteria: 6 tests (count=1 single id, count=N array, empty no-op, deterministic with seed, without replacement, binding accessible in then) QA Scenarios: bun test random-pick.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-37-random-pick.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): random-pick primitive
38. must-class primitive (capture/advance/move-to)

What to do: kind: "must-class", schema: { class: "capture-if-possible" | "advance-if-possible" | "move-to-square", color?: Color, square?: Square (for move-to) }. apply(): seeds an entry into game-entity attr MustClassConstraints: readonly { class, color?, square? }[]. Move-gen reads this attr and filters legal moves accordingly: if any move matches the class, ONLY those moves are legal; else fall through. Must NOT do: enforce in primitive; just seed (logic is in move-gen) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 7 References: existing BlockedMoveTypes pattern in modify-movement-range (similar move-gen constraint) Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (each class type + interaction with move-gen) QA Scenarios: bun test must-class.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-38-must-class.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): must-class restriction primitive
39. block-by-piece-type primitive

What to do: kind: "block-by-piece-type", schema: { pieceTypes: PieceType[] }. apply(): seeds game-attr BlockedPieceTypes: readonly PieceType[] (set union). Move-gen filters: pieces of these types have no legal moves Must NOT do: block king (game becomes unwinnable; validator rejects at descriptor time) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 7 References: T38 Acceptance Criteria: 4 tests QA Scenarios: bun test block-by-piece-type.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-39-block-piece-type.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): block-by-piece-type primitive
40. set-moves-as / set-moves-also-as primitives

What to do: Two primitives. set-moves-as: schema { target: TargetResolver | { $var }, asType: PieceType } — replaces movement pattern. set-moves-also-as: same schema — adds secondary pattern (additive). apply(): seeds MovesAs / MovesAlsoAs attr on target. Move-gen consults these BEFORE PieceType for movement generation. Must NOT do: seed on king with conflicting MovesAs (would prevent castling; validator warns); seed MovesAs: "king" on pawn (special-case rejected — pawn promotion semantics break; document) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 7 References: existing PIECE_TYPE_REGISTRY in packages/chess/src/ Acceptance Criteria: 6 tests (replace, additive, invalid targets rejected, move-gen integration) QA Scenarios: bun test set-moves-as.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-40-set-moves-as.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): set-moves-as + set-moves-also-as primitives
41. pawn-pushes-pieces primitive

What to do: kind: "pawn-pushes-pieces", schema: {}. apply(): seeds game-attr PawnPushesPieces: true. Move-gen: when pawn moves into occupied square, generate "push" move where occupant moves forward 1; chain reaction (each pushed piece pushes next); piece pushed off-board is destroyed via deferred event Must NOT do: push king (ends game; rejected at gen time); chain length > 7 (board height) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 7 References: ThressGame's pawns_learned_strength (lines 1707-1739 of ruleHooks.js) Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (single push, chain, off-board destroy, king cannot be pushed, regression: existing pawn moves unchanged when flag absent) QA Scenarios: bun test pawn-pushes-pieces.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-41-pawn-push.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): pawn-pushes-pieces primitive
42. lifetime field on imperative primitives

What to do: Update schemas of seed-attribute, set-piece-attr, spawn-marker, spawn-marker-pair to ALL accept optional top-level lifetime: MarkerLifetime field. Engine: add LifetimeRegistry that tracks "fact X on entity Y expires at move N"; in onAfterMove, scan registry → retract expired facts. Lifetime applies uniformly to all imperative primitives that seed facts. Must NOT do: support lifetime on read-only primitives (with-probability, conditional, etc.); add lifetime to existing modifier-bonus attrs (RangeBonus etc.) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 7 (after T28-T30 land lifetime field in spawn-marker; this generalizes the pattern) References: T28, T17 (on-rule-expire pattern) Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (lifetime on each kind expires correctly, permanent never expires, immediate-expire = next-turn) QA Scenarios: bun test lifetime-registry.test.ts → .sisyphus/evidence/task-42-lifetime.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): unified lifetime field on imperative primitives

WAVE 8 — WS PROTOCOL v2 + SUSPENDED EXECUTION: highest-risk wave. Each task is its own commit; integration tests at the end.

43. WS protocol v2 schema

What to do:
- Edit packages/server/src/protocol.ts: add new message types RequestChoiceMessage (server→client: { kind: "request-choice", choiceId: string, prompt: { kind: "piece"|"square"|"column"|"row"|"coin-flip"|"rps", filter?, forPlayer: Color, timeout?: number } }) and SubmitChoiceMessage (client→server: { kind: "submit-choice", choiceId: string, value: unknown })
- Add protocolVersion: number field to existing JoinRoom message; default 1; new client sends 2
- Server stores client's protocolVersion; if version mismatch and request-choice would fire → server falls back to "auto-resolve with first option" path AND emits a warning
- Co-located test: contract round-trip; version mismatch graceful Must NOT do: break v1 message shapes (additive only); introduce required new fields on existing messages (use optional) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 8 References: packages/server/src/protocol.ts:540-548 (existing wire schema patterns) Acceptance Criteria: bun test packages/server/src/protocol.test.ts -t "v2|version" passes (4+ tests); v1 tests unchanged QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-43-protocol-v2.txt Commit: YES — feat(server): WS protocol v2 schema (request-choice + version negotiation)
44. Server-side request-choice broadcast + validation

What to do:
- Edit packages/server/src/ws.ts (or equivalent ws handler): when game state has a pendingChoices entry, server sends RequestChoiceMessage to the targeted player on connect/reconnect
- When SubmitChoiceMessage arrives: validate choiceId matches top of stack on game's GAME_ENTITY pendingChoices, validate sender is targeted player, validate value matches choice kind/filter, then dispatch submit-choice PlayerAction to engine
- If invalid (mismatched id, wrong player, value violates filter): respond with versioned ILLEGAL_ACTION error code choice.invalid Must NOT do: broadcast choice to non-targeted players (privacy); accept submission for non-top-of-stack choice (must be LIFO) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 8 References: packages/server/src/ws.ts; T43 Acceptance Criteria: bun test packages/server/src/ws.request-choice.test.ts passes (5+ tests) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-44-server-choice.txt Commit: YES — feat(server): request-choice broadcast + validation
45. Stack-based pendingChoices state on GAME_ENTITY + serializer

What to do:
- Add attr PendingChoices: readonly PendingChoice[] to ChessAttrMap. PendingChoice = { choiceId: string, descriptorId: string, triggerPath: readonly number[], primitiveIndex: number, bindings: Record<string, JsonValue>, kind, prompt, forPlayer, timeout?: number, expiresAtTimestamp?: number }
- Helpers in engine: engine.pushPendingChoice(choice), engine.popPendingChoice(): PendingChoice | null, engine.peekPendingChoice(): PendingChoice | null
- Serializer: assert all fields are POJO-serializable (no closures, no functions); test by JSON round-trip Must NOT do: store function references in PendingChoice; allow >8 deep stack (cascade depth limit) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 8 References: T15 cascade depth, T6 attr registration Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests pass; JSON round-trip preserves byte-identical QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-45-pending-choices.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): pendingChoices stack on GAME_ENTITY
46. Suspended-execution resume in integration preset

What to do:
- Edit integration preset's performAction hook: when action is submit-choice, pop top PendingChoice, restore bindings into a fresh PrimitiveApplyContext, resume runPrimitives at saved triggerPath + primitiveIndex + 1 (skip past the request-choice that caused suspension), inject the submitted value as binding (key matches request-choice's bind param)
- Triggers must be re-entrant: runPrimitives accepts an optional resumeAt: { primitiveIndex: number; bindings: ... } that fast-forwards to that point Must NOT do: re-fire the request-choice itself; advance turn before resume completes; lose deferred trigger queue across suspension (preserve in PendingChoice) Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 8 References: packages/chess/src/presets/transferable-royalty.ts:143-161 (performAction pattern); T11, T15 Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests (basic resume, nested resume, binding injection, deferred-queue preserved across suspension, error if no pending) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-46-resume.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): suspended execution resume
47. request-choice primitive

What to do:
- Create packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/request-choice.ts: kind "request-choice", schema { kind: "piece"|"square"|"column"|"row"|"coin-flip"|"rps", forPlayer: "chooser"|"opponent"|"both", filter?, bind: string, then: NodeArray }
- apply(): generate choiceId (deterministic from descriptorId + step), capture current binding context, push PendingChoice on GAME_ENTITY, then RETURN (do not execute then; resume happens later)
- Special case forPlayer: "both": TWO PendingChoice entries pushed; both must submit; resume only when both received
- Special case kind: "rps": each player submits rock/paper/scissors privately; resolution via resolveRPS helper; binding receives both choices for then arm to evaluate Must NOT do: execute then arm immediately (suspend instead); allow submitting other-player's choice Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 8 (after T43, T45, T46) References: T46, T11; T0 paper exercise rule 1 (parry — RPS use case) Acceptance Criteria: 8 tests (each kind + both-players + binding + cancellation + RPS resolution + nested suspension + max-depth) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-47-request-choice.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): request-choice primitive
48. Deterministic auto-resolver test transport

What to do:
- Create packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/test-choice-resolver.ts: a test-only WS transport mock that auto-resolves PendingChoices according to a deterministic policy:
  - kind: "piece"|"square"|"column"|"row": pick first valid option
  - kind: "coin-flip": alternate heads/tails per call (cycle starts at heads)
  - kind: "rps": alternate rock/paper/scissors per call
- Co-located test: 3 invocations of each kind produce expected sequence
- Used by: T59-T66 parity tests + T68 e2e tests Must NOT do: use Math.random; allow non-deterministic order; ship in production bundle Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 8 References: T47 Acceptance Criteria: 4 tests; resolver is pure deterministic QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-48-test-resolver.txt Commit: YES — test(chess): deterministic auto-resolver test transport
49. Choice timeout + disconnect handler

What to do:
- Edit ws.ts: when PendingChoice has timeout field, server schedules a timer; on expiry, server auto-submits the "first valid option" as the choice and resumes
- When player disconnects: check if game has pendingChoices for that player. If timeout mode = timeout-with-default → forfeit the game (set GameStatus to opponent-wins). If mode = no-timeout → set game state to "paused" (no auto-action; resume on reconnect)
- Co-located test: timer fires after timeout; default-option resolution; forfeit; pause+reconnect Must NOT do: cancel pending choice on disconnect mid-choice without policy decision; forfeit in no-timeout mode Recommended Agent Profile: deep Parallelization: Wave 8 References: T44, T50 Acceptance Criteria: 6 tests QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-49-timeout-disconnect.txt Commit: YES — feat(server): choice timeout + disconnect handler
50. Game settings: choiceTimeout in CreateGameRequest

What to do:
- Edit packages/server/src/protocol.ts CreateGameRequest schema: add choiceTimeout: { mode: "timeout-with-default", seconds: number } | { mode: "no-timeout" } field; default = { mode: "timeout-with-default", seconds: 60 }
- Edit client (packages/chess/src/ui/... create-game form): add radio + numeric input
- Server stores in game state; T49 reads from this
- Co-located test: schema validation; defaults; round-trip via WS Must NOT do: hardcode timeout in server; allow negative seconds; allow seconds < 5 (UX guard) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 8 References: T49 Acceptance Criteria: 5 tests QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-50-game-settings.txt Commit: YES — feat: choiceTimeout per-game setting

WAVE 9 — UI / EDITOR: parallel with Waves 5-8. Each task atomic.

51. Palette taxonomy update (5 categories)

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/ui/visual-builder/VisualBuilderPane.tsx and BlockCard.tsx: replace existing 3 categories (State, Mechanic, Trigger) with 5: State (existing 5 kinds), Mechanic (existing 5 kinds), Trigger (existing 9 + 4 new = 13 kinds), Imperative (place-piece, destroy-piece, move-piece, swap-pieces, convert-piece-type, set-piece-attr, cancel-capture, spawn-marker, spawn-marker-pair, destroy-marker), Iteration (for-each-piece, for-each-square, for-each-adjacent, for-each-marker, for-column, for-row), Restriction (must-class, block-by-piece-type, set-moves-as, set-moves-also-as, pawn-pushes-pieces) — total 6 categories
- Each category gets distinct color: State=blue (existing), Mechanic=emerald (existing), Trigger=violet (existing), Imperative=amber, Iteration=cyan, Restriction=rose
- Update CATEGORIES const to single source of truth (currently duplicated in BlockCard + VisualBuilderPane — DRY) Must NOT do: add primitives not in the locked list of 28; expand to 7+ categories Recommended Agent Profile: visual-engineering. Skills: [frontend-ui-ux]. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: existing CATEGORIES in packages/chess/src/ui/visual-builder/BlockCard.tsx:41-78 and VisualBuilderPane.tsx:47-83 (notepad mentions duplication: learnings.md~) Acceptance Criteria: SSR snapshot tests pass; new palette buttons present for all 28 new primitives QA Scenarios:

Commit: YES — feat(ui): 6-category palette taxonomy with new primitives
52. narrate.ts entries for new primitives + triggers

What to do:
- Edit packages/chess/src/ui/narrate.ts: extend KIND_NARRATORS map with entries for all 28 new primitives + 4 new triggers (32 total entries)
- Each narrator returns a one-sentence English description of what the primitive does, properly templated with params
- Edit narrate.test.ts: add per-primitive golden assertion (32 new tests, exact strings)
- Update ParamField.snapshot.test.tsx SAMPLE_PARAMS map to include all 28 + 4 new kinds Must NOT do: re-narrate existing 22 primitives ("while we're in there"); use template variables that don't resolve from params Recommended Agent Profile: writing. Skills: []. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: packages/chess/src/ui/narrate.ts:KIND_NARRATORS; notepad learnings.md:200-238 (T15 narrate pattern) Acceptance Criteria: narrate.test.ts: 34 → 66 tests pass (32 new); ParamField.snapshot tests still 50 pass QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-52-narrate.txt Commit: YES — feat(ui): narrate entries for new primitives + triggers
53. ParamField renderer: square picker

What to do:
- Add to packages/chess/src/ui/ParamField.tsx: when a param's Zod schema is z.number().int().min(0).max(63) AND param key is square|target.square|squareA|squareB, render a small 8×8 grid of clickable squares (current value highlighted); click sets the value
- Co-located snapshot test: rendering deterministic
- Visual: 200px × 200px grid, light/dark squares alternating Must NOT do: render for non-square numeric params (need explicit kind detection); animate Recommended Agent Profile: visual-engineering. Skills: [frontend-ui-ux]. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: existing AttrCombobox in ParamField.tsx (similar custom renderer pattern) Acceptance Criteria: Snapshot test deterministic; param with square key renders grid (testid="param-square-picker") QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-53-square-picker.txt Commit: YES — feat(ui): ParamField square picker renderer
54. ParamField renderer: piece picker

What to do:
- Add to ParamField.tsx: when param key is pieceType|target.pieceType|asType|newType and Zod is z.enum([...PieceTypes]), render a row of 6 piece icons (king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, pawn); click selects
- Use unicode chess symbols or the existing piece SVGs Must NOT do: render for non-piece-type enums; require image assets (use unicode if no asset exists) Recommended Agent Profile: visual-engineering. Skills: [frontend-ui-ux]. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: T53 Acceptance Criteria: snapshot test; testid="param-piece-picker" present for matching keys QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-54-piece-picker.txt Commit: YES — feat(ui): ParamField piece picker renderer
55. ParamField renderer: marker-kind enum

What to do:
- Add to ParamField.tsx: when param key is markerKind and Zod is the marker-kind enum, render dropdown OR icon grid (8 marker kinds with mini-icons)
- Each marker kind gets a small inline icon: mine=💣, pit=⬛, portal-end=🌀, frozen-square=❄, treasure=🏆, death-square=☠, tornado=🌪, blocked=🧱 (use these emoji fallbacks; replace with SVG later if user adds assets) Must NOT do: require new icon assets; render as plain text Recommended Agent Profile: visual-engineering. Skills: [frontend-ui-ux]. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: T53, T54 Acceptance Criteria: snapshot test; all 8 kinds renderable QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-55-marker-kind-picker.txt Commit: YES — feat(ui): ParamField marker-kind enum renderer
56. ParamField renderer: lifetime config

What to do:
- Add to ParamField.tsx: when param shape matches MarkerLifetime discriminated union, render a kind-selector (radio: permanent/moves/one-shot) + conditional numeric input for moves count (visible only when kind=moves)
- Form validates: count ≥ 1 when kind=moves Must NOT do: allow count when kind ≠ moves (hide the field; clear value) Recommended Agent Profile: visual-engineering. Skills: [frontend-ui-ux]. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: T53; existing discriminated-union pattern in packages/chess/src/modifiers/primitives/on-moved-onto-square.ts SquareFilter Acceptance Criteria: snapshot test; all 3 lifetime kinds renderable; count input visible only when relevant QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-56-lifetime-renderer.txt Commit: YES — feat(ui): ParamField lifetime config renderer
57. Client marker rendering on chessboard

What to do:
- Edit chessboard component (packages/chess/src/ui/board/... — find via glob): add a marker overlay layer that renders on top of squares
- For each marker entity, render a small icon at its Position square (using emoji from T55 + tooltip showing marker kind + lifetime + owner)
- Tooltips appear on hover (CSS); accessible via aria-label
- Markers render BELOW pieces (z-order); piece on marker still visible Must NOT do: hide/replace pieces; render markers larger than 50% of square; animate Recommended Agent Profile: visual-engineering. Skills: [frontend-ui-ux]. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: existing chessboard component Acceptance Criteria: SSR snapshot of board with 3 markers shows all 3 + tooltips; pieces still visible QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-57-board-markers.txt Commit: YES — feat(ui): client marker rendering on chessboard
58. Client request-choice modal

What to do:
- New component packages/chess/src/ui/RequestChoiceModal.tsx: receives a PendingChoice via props; renders kind-specific UI:
  - kind=piece: clickable piece list (filtered by prompt.filter)
  - kind=square: 8×8 grid (reuse T53 component)
  - kind=column/row: 8 buttons
  - kind=coin-flip: 2 buttons (heads/tails) + visualized flip animation OR just buttons with prior-result visible
  - kind=rps: 3 buttons (rock/paper/scissors)
- On selection, dispatches submit-choice WS message + closes modal
- Disabled while WS submission in flight; error state if server rejects
- Listens to game state for pendingChoices change; auto-opens when player has a pending choice Must NOT do: allow non-targeted player to interact (modal hidden if forPlayer ≠ self); animate transitions beyond simple fade Recommended Agent Profile: visual-engineering. Skills: [frontend-ui-ux]. Parallelization: Wave 9 References: T44, T45, T47; existing modal patterns in chess UI Acceptance Criteria: SSR snapshot for each kind variant; aria-modal=true; ESC close handled; submit-choice WS message sent on selection (test with mock WS) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-58-choice-modal.txt Commit: YES — feat(ui): request-choice modal

WAVE 10 — TEST DESCRIPTORS + E2E: Each parity test runs the descriptor in our engine, drives the same scenario in a ThressGame-equivalent reference (or hand-crafted oracle), asserts state-hash equality. Each task is one descriptor + one parity test, atomic commit.

59. minefield descriptor + parity test

What to do:
- Create packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/thressgame-parity/minefield.descriptor.json: descriptor using on-rule-activated → random-pick(empty squares, count: 2) → spawn-marker(mine, lifetime: one-shot)
- Create parity test packages/chess/e2e/thressgame-parity-minefield.spec.ts: load descriptor, simulate 5-10 moves where pieces step on mines, assert post-state matches a checked-in reference state hash Must NOT do: use Math.random in descriptor (must use random-pick + seeded RNG); skip mid-game state checks Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T28, T37, T18) References: ThressGame ruleHooks.js minefield (lines 408-444 of source); T28, T37 Acceptance Criteria: bun x playwright test e2e/thressgame-parity-minefield.spec.ts passes (3+ scenarios); descriptor validates clean QA Scenarios:
```
Scenario: Mine destroys piece, marker consumed
  Tool: Playwright
  Steps:
    1. Load minefield descriptor
    2. Apply moves stepping on mine
    3. Assert piece destroyed + marker removed via state hash
  Evidence: .sisyphus/evidence/task-59-minefield-parity.png
```
Commit: YES — test(parity): minefield ThressGame rule
60. mr_freeze descriptor + parity test (uses request-choice)

What to do:
- Descriptor: on-rule-activated → request-choice(kind: column, forPlayer: chooser, bind: $col, then: for-row(rows: [0..7], bind: $row, then: spawn-marker(frozen-square, square: ctx-build($col, $row), lifetime: { kind: moves, count: 9 }, owner: chooser-color)))
- Parity test: descriptor activates, T48 auto-resolver picks first valid column, 8 frozen-square markers spawn, opponent moves blocked from frozen column for 9 moves, markers expire Must NOT do: hardcode chooser color; manually skip request-choice (use auto-resolver) Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T47, T48, T49) References: ThressGame mr_freeze (~lines 1042-1073 of source); T0 paper exercise rule 5 Acceptance Criteria: e2e passes; column blocked correctly; markers all expire at move 9 QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-60-mr-freeze-parity.png Commit: YES — test(parity): mr_freeze ThressGame rule
61. parry descriptor + parity test (request-choice + cancel-capture + RPS)

What to do:
- Descriptor: on-captured(target: self) → request-choice(kind: rps, forPlayer: both, bind: $rps, then: conditional(condition: rps-eval($rps, expected: defender), then: cancel-capture, else: noop))
- Parity test: trigger 5 captures, verify RPS resolves correctly per T48 alternating policy, verify defender survives when policy says defender wins
- Requires new conditional kind rps-eval (added by this task or T0 ADR captured separately) Must NOT do: use Math.random for RPS resolution (use seeded RNG); allow non-defender outcome to result in cancellation Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T27, T47, T48) References: ThressGame parry (~lines 1592-1594 + RPS in packages/server/src/utils/rps); T0 paper exercise rule 1 Acceptance Criteria: e2e passes; defender survival rate matches expected (with seeded resolver) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-61-parry-parity.png Commit: YES — test(parity): parry ThressGame rule
62. all_on_red descriptor + parity test (with-probability)

What to do:
- Descriptor: on-turn-start(color: both) → with-probability(p: 0.5, then: seed-attribute(BlockAllExceptKing, true, lifetime: { kind: moves, count: 1 }))
- Parity test: 20 turns, count how often only king moves are legal; verify ~50% with seeded RNG (deterministic — exact count expected) Must NOT do: assert exact 10/20 (allow ±2 for seed variance); use Math.random Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T36) References: ThressGame all_on_red (~lines 996-1017); T0 paper exercise rule 2 Acceptance Criteria: e2e passes; deterministic distribution matches expected counts QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-62-all-on-red-parity.png Commit: YES — test(parity): all_on_red ThressGame rule
63. religious_conversion descriptor + parity test

What to do:
- Descriptor: on-move(target: self) → conditional(condition: attr-eq(self, PieceType, bishop), then: for-each-adjacent(target: self, filter: { pieceType: pawn, relation: enemy }, bind: $pawn, then: set-piece-attr(target: $pawn, attr: Color, value: { ctx-attr: { entity: self, attr: Color } })))
- Parity test: bishop moves; adjacent enemy pawns convert; non-bishop pieces don't trigger Must NOT do: convert non-pawn pieces; convert ally pawns Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T26, T33) References: ThressGame religious_conversion (~lines 1185-1204); T0 paper exercise rule 3 Acceptance Criteria: e2e passes; only adjacent enemy pawns flip QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-63-religious-conv.png Commit: YES — test(parity): religious_conversion ThressGame rule
64. ice_physics descriptor + parity test

What to do:
- Descriptor: on-rule-activated → for-each-piece(filter: { pieceType: [bishop, rook, queen] }, bind: $p, then: set-piece-attr(target: $p, attr: SlideMustBeMaxDistance, value: true, lifetime: permanent))
- Parity test: bishop's legal moves all max-distance only; queen's all max-distance only; non-sliders unaffected; pawns unaffected
- Verifies T40's move-gen integration with SlideMustBeMaxDistance flag Must NOT do: affect non-sliding pieces; remove the constraint after activation Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T8, T26, T31) References: ThressGame ice_physics (~lines 1469-1497); T0 paper exercise rule 4 Acceptance Criteria: e2e passes; legal-moves count matches expected (sliding pieces have ~80% fewer legal moves) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-64-ice-physics-parity.png Commit: YES — test(parity): ice_physics ThressGame rule
65. kamikaze descriptor + parity test (with-probability + for-each-adjacent)

What to do:
- Descriptor: on-capture(target: self) → with-probability(p: 0.25, then: for-each-adjacent(target: self, filter: { excludeKing: true }, bind: $adj, then: destroy-piece(target: $adj)))
- Parity test: 100 captures with seeded RNG; ~25% of captures trigger AOE; AOE never kills kings Must NOT do: kill kings via AOE; trigger on non-capture moves Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T22, T33, T36) References: ThressGame kamikaze (~lines 1129-1148) Acceptance Criteria: e2e passes; AOE rate ~25% deterministic with seed; king never destroyed QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-65-kamikaze-parity.png Commit: YES — test(parity): kamikaze ThressGame rule
66. mind_control descriptor + parity test (request-choice on both players)

What to do:
- Descriptor: on-rule-activated → request-choice(kind: piece, forPlayer: both, filter: { relation: enemy, excludeKing: true }, bind: $targets, then: for-each-piece(filter: $targets, bind: $piece, then: set-piece-attr(target: $piece, attr: Color, value: { ctx-attr: { entity: chooser, attr: Color } })))
- Parity test: both players pick targets via T48 auto-resolver, both targets convert to chooser's color; kings excluded Must NOT do: allow king conversion; allow only-one-player resolution before both submit Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T26, T31, T47, T48) References: ThressGame mind_control (~lines 706-740); requires both-players choice (most complex test) Acceptance Criteria: e2e passes; both pieces converted; LIFO stack resolution observed (player A's choice first, then player B's) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-66-mind-control-parity.png Commit: YES — test(parity): mind_control ThressGame rule
67. 6 template descriptors shipped in modifier library

What to do:
- Add 6 templates to packages/chess/src/modifiers/library.ts (or wherever templates are stored): simple-mine (1 mine spawns at center), vampire-on-capture (Hp+1 on capture; existing primitive used), frozen-column (player picks column, spawns 8 frozen-square markers), coin-flip-restriction (50% chance: only kings move next turn), religious-bishop (T63 packaged), no-mans-land (player picks column, blocked permanent)
- Each template has name, description, narrative, descriptor JSON
- Co-located test: each template loads + validates clean Must NOT do: include templates not in the locked list of 6; allow validation errors on any Recommended Agent Profile: writing. Skills: []. Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T59-T66 in case any descriptor pattern changes) References: existing template structure in packages/chess/src/modifiers/library.ts Acceptance Criteria: 6 templates load + validate; appear in modifier picker UI (manual via SSR snapshot of picker) QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-67-templates.txt Commit: YES — feat(chess): 6 ThressGame template descriptors
68. Playwright: request-choice round-trip e2e (3 flows)

What to do:
- New file packages/chess/e2e/request-choice.spec.ts with 3 distinct e2e tests:
  1. Single player choice (mr_freeze): activate descriptor → modal appears → click column → game proceeds with frozen markers
  2. Both-player choice (mind_control): activate → both modals appear (one per player tab) → each clicks → game proceeds
  3. Nested choice (RPS over capture, parry rule): trigger capture → both RPS modals → choices resolve → conditional cancels capture if defender wins
- Each test uses real WS connection (not mocked); 2 browser contexts (one per player) Must NOT do: skip the actual choice modal (must click in real UI); use Math.random Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high. Skills: [playwright]. Parallelization: Wave 10 (after T58, T48, T49) References: existing e2e patterns in packages/chess/e2e/ Acceptance Criteria: All 3 e2e tests pass; screenshots captured; 0 flake across 5 reruns QA Scenarios:
```
Scenario: Both-player choice round-trip
  Tool: Playwright
  Steps:
    1. Open 2 browser contexts as player 1 + 2
    2. Player 1 activates mind_control descriptor
    3. Both contexts see request-choice modal
    4. Each clicks a piece
    5. Assert both pieces converted
  Evidence: .sisyphus/evidence/task-68-mind-control-e2e.png
```
Commit: YES — test(e2e): request-choice round-trip flows
69. Performance budget test (100 markers, p99 < 50ms)

What to do:
- New test packages/chess/src/__fixtures__/perf/markers-perf.test.ts: spawn 100 markers across the board, run 1000 moves with mixed marker triggers, measure per-move latency, assert p99 < 50ms
- Document the budget in .sisyphus/notepads/thressgame-coverage/perf-budget.md
- Run via bun test --bail Must NOT do: use --headless or platform-specific timing assertions Recommended Agent Profile: unspecified-high Parallelization: Wave 10 (after all primitives + triggers land) References: existing perf patterns from narrate.ts (notepad learnings.md:218-220) Acceptance Criteria: test passes; p99 < 50ms documented in perf-budget.md QA Scenarios: .sisyphus/evidence/task-69-perf.txt Commit: YES — test(perf): 100-marker move latency benchmark

Final Verification Wave (MANDATORY — after ALL implementation tasks)

4 review agents run in PARALLEL. ALL must APPROVE. Present consolidated results to user and get explicit "okay" before completing.

Do NOT auto-proceed after verification. Wait for user's explicit approval before marking work complete.

F1. Plan Compliance Audit — oracle Read the plan end-to-end. For each "Must Have": verify implementation exists (read file, run command). For each "Must NOT Have": grep codebase for forbidden patterns — reject with file:line if found. Check evidence files exist in .sisyphus/evidence/. Compare deliverables against plan. Output: Must Have [N/N] | Must NOT Have [N/N] | Tasks [N/N] | VERDICT: APPROVE/REJECT
F2. Code Quality Review — unspecified-high Run bun run check (lint + typecheck + tests). Review all changed files for: as any/@ts-ignore, empty catches, console.log in prod, commented-out code, unused imports, AI slop (excessive comments, over-abstraction, generic names like data/result/item/temp). Output: Build [PASS/FAIL] | Lint [PASS/FAIL] | Tests [N pass/N fail] | Files [N clean/N issues] | VERDICT
F3. Real Manual QA — unspecified-high (+ playwright skill) Start from clean state. Execute EVERY QA scenario from EVERY task — follow exact steps, capture evidence. Test cross-task integration: 8 parity rules + 3 request-choice e2e flows. Test edge cases: empty state, invalid input, rapid actions, marker collisions, cascade limits. Save to .sisyphus/evidence/final-qa/. Output: Scenarios [N/N pass] | Integration [N/N] | Edge Cases [N tested] | VERDICT
F4. Scope Fidelity Check — deep For each task: read "What to do", read actual diff (git log/diff). Verify 1:1 — everything in spec was built, nothing beyond spec was built. Check "Must NOT do" compliance. Detect cross-task contamination. Flag unaccounted changes. Output: Tasks [N/N compliant] | Contamination [CLEAN/N issues] | Unaccounted [CLEAN/N files] | VERDICT
