Session Overview This session closes Phase 39 by proving the completed AI Rogue level-authoring workflow is repeatable, documented, and still inside the approved safety boundaries. Sessions 01 through 07 already shipped the registry, routed depth decisions through level specs, added registry and save parity checks, proved a reused-media fourth floor, moved enemy and boss requirements into metadata, and activated one prepared real-content enemy. The next executable slice is final hardening rather than feature expansion. The session should run the required validation gates, update docs that still describe the registry as future work or the run as three floors, confirm save and migration rules, and record release evidence for future authors. The implementation must not add new gameplay content, remote loading, hosted writes, collectors, telemetry dependencies, worker migrations, broad inventory rewrites, or map-editor dependencies. Any product-facing copy touched by the session must describe shipped AI Rogue behavior only. *** ## 2. Objectives 1. Run and record final validation evidence for the Phase 39 level-authoring infrastructure. 2. Update AI Rogue authoring, gameplay, audio, extension, and testing docs so they match the shipped four-level registry-backed workflow. 3. Confirm save, migration, asset, audio, privacy, public-demo, and non-goal boundaries remain intact. 4. Produce a concise implementation summary and release metadata that future AI Rogue content sessions can use as their starting point. *** ## 3. Prerequisites ### Required Sessions * [x] `phase39-session01-baseline-and-registry-skeleton` - Locked baseline behavior, golden summaries, and the initial level registry. * [x] `phase39-session02-depth-resolver-migration` - Routed depth helpers, generation, max depth, and music decisions through level specs. * [x] `phase39-session03-registry-validation-and-save-parity` - Added malformed registry and save-schema parity gates. * [x] `phase39-session04-existing-media-floor-four` - Added the reused-media `firewall-gauntlet` depth-4 proof. * [x] `phase39-session05-enemy-metadata-and-derived-asset-checks` - Added metadata-backed enemy audio and frame validation. * [x] `phase39-session06-boss-and-finale-contracts` - Generalized Kernel Sentinel boss and finale behavior through reusable contracts. * [x] `phase39-session07-real-content-expansion-path` - Activated `insight-beetle` as the first prepared real-content enemy path. ### Required Tools Or Knowledge * Bun 1.3.14 package/runtime baseline. * AI Rogue registry code under `src/extensions/ai-rogue/runtime/content/`. * AI Rogue save contracts in `src/extensions/ai-rogue/save-schema.ts`. * AI Rogue browser coverage under `tests/e2e/`. * Asset and bundle checks in `scripts/check-asset-sizes.sh`, `scripts/check-bundle-budget.sh`, and `scripts/check-private-runtime-artifacts.sh`. ### Environment Requirements * Local repository checkout with dependencies installed or installable through `bun install`. * Playwright Chromium available for AI Rogue browser proof, or an exact environment failure recorded in the implementation evidence. * No credentials or third-party dashboards required. *** ## 4. Scope ### In Scope (MVP) * AI Rogue maintainers get a final validation evidence record for typecheck, script typecheck, lint, full and focused Vitest, asset-size checks, build/budget checks, private-runtime scans, dependency audit, and relevant Playwright AI Rogue browser checks. * AI Rogue authoring docs describe the current shipped workflow: four authored main-run levels, registry-owned max depth, explicit out-of-range authored depth rejection, metadata-backed enemy/boss/audio/frame validation, parser-owned save ID parity, and no whole level specs in saves. * AI Rogue extension docs stop claiming the current run is three floors or that audio and registry work are future-only. * AI Rogue testing docs include a reusable Phase 39 closeout command cluster for future level-authoring sessions. * Release evidence records that Phase 39 added no remote content loading, no hosted writes, no analytics, no collectors, no raw prompts/transcripts, no local paths/logs, no worker migration, and no map-editor dependency. ### Out Of Scope (Deferred) * Adding more gameplay content - Reason: Session 07 already proved one real content path, and this closeout session is validation and documentation. * Adding new art, music, ambience, SFX, bosses, enemies, terminals, objectives, protocols, status effects, or floors - Reason: Phase 39 closeout must not widen content scope while validating the workflow. * Changing save schema version, persistence shape, or migration behavior - Reason: current evidence says version 1 remains sufficient. * Introducing remote content loading, dynamic plugins, mod systems, collectors, hosted writes, telemetry, analytics, workers, broad inventory rewrites, or map-editor dependencies - Reason: these remain explicit non-goals that need separate threat modeling and product scope. * Redesigning route-visible UI, controls, audio unlock behavior, or PixiJS renderer ownership - Reason: the session should verify those paths, not rebuild them. *** ## 5. Technical Approach ### Architecture Treat code and validated session artifacts as the source of truth, then bring the documentation and closeout evidence up to that state. The shipped authoring owner is `src/extensions/ai-rogue/runtime/content/levels.ts`; runtime helpers, boss contracts, audio routing, frame derivation, and save parsers should remain validation targets rather than broad refactor targets. Use existing local docs as the publication surface. `README_ai-rogue.md` and `README_docs-extensions.md` should describe the current extension posture. `level-expansion-architecture.md` should shift from "future registry" wording to the current authoring workflow and future-content checklist. `gameplay-depth.md` and `game-feel.md` should align with the four-level authored run and finale ownership. `docs/testing.md` should hold the reusable validation command cluster. Validation evidence belongs in the session artifacts and should record exact commands and outcomes. If a local environment dependency prevents a browser or audit command from running, record the exact failing command and cause without claiming it passed. ### Design Patterns * Docs follow code: Update public docs from current source and validated session artifacts, not from planned future architecture. * Evidence ledger: Record command outputs, versions, and any external environment failures in implementation notes and the implementation summary. * Boundary preservation: Treat save, privacy, public-demo, collector, hosted, remote-loading, worker, and asset-policy checks as release gates. * Narrow remediation: If validation exposes a deterministic in-repo issue, repair only that issue and add focused evidence; do not widen feature scope. *** ## 6.

Success Criteria ### Functional Requirements * [ ] Phase 39 closeout evidence names every validation command that passed or records the exact environment cause for any command that could not run. * [ ] AI Rogue docs describe the shipped four-level authoring workflow before describing future content possibilities. * [ ] Save docs and evidence confirm saves persist level IDs, depth, runtime state, entity IDs, and small state only, not whole level specs. * [ ] Release evidence confirms `AI_ROGUE_SAVE_SCHEMA_VERSION` remains 1 unless an actual migration is discovered and implemented. * [ ] Privacy and non-goal scans confirm no remote loading, hosted writes, collectors, analytics, raw prompts, transcripts, local paths, logs, command bodies, credentials, private telemetry, worker migration, broad inventory rewrite, or map-editor dependency was introduced. ### Testing Requirements * [ ] Focused AI Rogue content, world, simulation, save, boss, render, audio, combat, and asset suites pass. * [ ] `bun run typecheck`, `bun run typecheck:scripts`, `bun run lint`, `bun run test`, `bun run build`, `bun run budget:check`, `bun run runtime:check-private`, and `bash scripts/check-asset-sizes.sh` pass or exact local environment failures are recorded. * [ ] Relevant AI Rogue desktop/mobile Playwright checks pass or exact local environment failures are recorded. * [ ] Dependency audit passes or exact local environment failures are recorded. ### Non-Functional Requirements * [ ] Documentation uses shipped-state wording and avoids speculative claims. * [ ] Validation and release artifacts avoid secret-shaped strings, raw local paths, local usernames, provider keys, bearer tokens, raw prompts, transcripts, logs, and command bodies beyond safe command names. * [ ] No route-visible product copy contains implementation diagnostics. ### Quality Gates * [ ] All files ASCII-encoded. * [ ] Unix LF line endings. * [ ] Code and docs follow project conventions. * [ ] Primary user-facing surfaces contain product-facing copy only. *** ## 8. Implementation Notes ### Working Assumptions * Session 08 is the next and final executable Phase 39 session: the analysis script reports Phase 39 in progress, Sessions 01-07 completed, and only `phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening` unfinished. Planning can proceed because all prerequisite validation artifacts for Sessions 01-07 exist. * The session is documentation and validation first: the Session 08 stub asks for final validation evidence, updated authoring docs, save/migration confirmation, and privacy/non-goal rechecks. Repo evidence shows no new gameplay content is needed. * Playwright proof should be run for final confidence and must be recorded if rendering, controls, audio unlock, route-visible UI, or public-demo behavior changes during implementation. If implementation remains docs-only, the browser proof still provides closeout evidence but should not be represented as proof of a new UI feature. ### Conflict Resolutions * Several docs still describe AI Rogue as a three-floor run or the content registry as future work, while the code and Phase 39 artifacts now show four authored main-run levels and a shipped `runtime/content/` registry. The shipped code and validated session artifacts win; docs must be updated to current behavior. * The Session 08 stub allows documenting validation command failures with exact blockers, while the spec-system successful-artifact rules reject unresolved placeholders. The chosen interpretation is to run every local command that does not need credentials and record exact command outcomes; only external environment failures may be recorded as limitations. ### Key Considerations * Keep AI OS, Trend Finder, and AI Rogue naming boundaries separate. * Keep AI Rogue browser-local state and static public-demo safety intact. * Preserve current `VITE_CLAUDE_OS_*` compatibility env names when documenting extension enablement. * Do not add new global `findtrend` identifiers. ### Potential Challenges * Long validation runtime: Run focused gates first, then full gates, so any deterministic failure has a smaller reproduction command. * Browser environment variance: Record Playwright browser-install or port failures exactly and avoid claiming browser proof if it did not run. * Documentation drift: Prefer smaller, specific corrections over rewriting historical planning records that are intentionally archival. ### Relevant Considerations * \[P00] **Stack conventions**: Validation must use Bun, Vite, TanStack Start, React, PixiJS, Playwright, and the existing local scripts. * \[P31-P38] **Public-demo, AI Rogue, and hosted-surface gates stay bundled**: Keep public-demo no-bridge, privacy, asset, browser, and budget checks together for closeout evidence. * \[P30/P32/P34-P35] **Schema-backed browser-local state works**: Preserve Zod defaults, parser-owned save compatibility, and browser-local storage boundaries. * \[P30/P34-P38] **Visibility gates catch real issues**: Pair focused tests, browser proof, build/budget, privacy scans, provenance, and human-readable evidence before widening visibility. * \[P30/P32/P34-P38] **Do not widen AI Rogue capabilities without review**: Remote loading, collectors, workers, hosted writes, expanded content, and rejected-art reuse need fresh review. *** ## 9. Testing Strategy ### Unit Tests * Run focused AI Rogue registry, generated-world, simulation, asset, audio, save, boss, render, and combat suites listed in the Session 08 task checklist. * Run the full Vitest suite after focused suites pass. ### Integration Tests * Run app and script typecheck, lint, build, bundle budget, private-runtime, asset-size, dependency audit, and scoped formatting checks. ### Runtime Verification * Run AI Rogue desktop and mobile Playwright checks for Play route rendering, controls, audio unlock related product states, route cleanup, mobile layout, and no local bridge leakage. * Include public-demo mobile smoke if public-demo or hosted-surface wording is touched. ### Edge Cases * Future save versions remain rejected safely while current schema version 1 snapshots hydrate. * Retired IDs remain loadable through parser-owned compatibility entries when such IDs exist; current Phase 39 introduces no retired ID. * Out-of-range authored main-run depths reject through registry lookup instead of silently rotating or clamping into unplanned content. * Docs do not expose private-looking text in examples, provenance, labels, warnings, or release evidence. *** ## 10. Dependencies ### Other Sessions * Depends on: `phase39-session01-baseline-and-registry-skeleton`, `phase39-session02-depth-resolver-migration`, `phase39-session03-registry-validation-and-save-parity`, `phase39-session04-existing-media-floor-four`, `phase39-session05-enemy-metadata-and-derived-asset-checks`, `phase39-session06-boss-and-finale-contracts`, and `phase39-session07-real-content-expansion-path`. * Depended by: Phase 39 transition to `audit` after `implement`, `creview`, `validate`, and `updateprd` complete. *** ## Next Steps Run the `implement` workflow step to begin implementation. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
