Fix the three engine defects the 3D client reported (#92, #93, #94)

Odyssey: bound the living galaxy to 3 seed-drawn background worlds

Close the guard gaps behind the last three bugs; withdraw one review finding

Get CI green, and make the AI's opponent belief fade the way it says it does

Phase 4: the adaptation POLICY is evolvable, not just its constants

Phases 2-3: the AI answers what it reads

Phase 1: the AI gets a belief about its opponent

Phase 5 (spectate): watch an AI-vs-AI match live, at 1x-8x

Archetype lookup: reject reserved keys instead of resolving to Object.prototype

Phase 2 (part 2): roster + persistent ladder wired into Quick Duel, archetype threaded end-to-end

Phase 2 (part 1): per-entrant archetype override (D3) and the competition ledger (D8)

Setup: a 150 Population cap rung, for frame rate

AI: give the Odyssey economy something to bootstrap from

Tier 3f: split the selection panel's derived state out of its DOM

Tier 3c: the AI's found-a-building protocol, and its decision predicates

Tier 3b: rank formation slots per cluster, not globally

Tier 3a: haul.js's four phase machines, and the save-version coupling

Tier 2b: four correctness fixes with a wider blast radius

Tier 2a: collapse the cross-module duplicates, pin the tie-breaks

Tier 1, step 4e: clear autoTarget on a plain move order (A13)

Tier 1, step 4d: two dead HUD controls and a hidden build button (A6, A10)

Tier 1, step 4c: the AI bench lies, and an owner-parametric leak (A9, A12)

Tier 1, step 4a: five reproduced engine defects (A1-A4, A11)

Tier 1, step 3: harden the save load path past the entity boundary

Tier 1, step 2b: expand // @ts-check coverage from 10 files to 20 (D3)

Tier 1, step 2: make the type layer real (D1, D2, D4)

Make the AI controller owner-parametric: true two-sided self-play

Disable jump-time cargo auto-fill: an empty ship carries nothing

Stand the AI's parked garrison in a grid at the base's own skirt

Let sustained ore surplus lift the Odyssey AI's standing-army cap

Disperse the AI's idle home army across garrison stations

Halve AI actions-per-minute for background (non-active) worlds

Widen idle and formation unit spacing by 20%

Add a configurable population cap (200/250/300/Max) for both sides

Let gather/wreckage/rig-haul workers bank into a nearby collection-point Hauler

Bound applySeparation's per-unit candidate scan under pathological density

P8 Combat Depth: uphill concealment (real LOS), veterancy ranks, tiered-kill event fields

Conquest overrides a stale rival-Gate ascension, not the other way around

Domination occupation dividend: pacified worlds pay a small credits/sec

Domination with teeth + Faction memory, tuned as one stance-pipeline system

Revert accidental inclusion of concurrent team's in-progress work

Extend determinism coverage to the rival Gate's charge

Add the rival Gate: a neighbour races its own Antimatter Gate

Add Easy strategic ceiling (Phase 7 prerequisite)

Colony economy rework: Freight Lanes + Colony standing orders

AI: let a developer archetype walk the trade-industry branch too

Promote legacy consumer-goods recipes into a trade-industry branch

Spaceport tiers discount new-world jump fuel

Doctrine depth redesign: Assault tempo verbs + Bulwark regen (Tier 2 & 3, merged)

Static-defense ladder: Bastille, Aegis Bastion, Plasma Torpedo Battery
