Mode: Signal Fishing
Objective: Sweep the bottom rail and cast a beam to pull signal pearls out of hostile rain.
Developer intent: Add rare pearl types and a chargeable hook width so catches feel more expressive.
Extension id: rare_charge_hook
Variant index: 2

Return JSON only with this schema:
{
  "summary": "short imperative summary",
  "rationale": "why the code change helps the game",
  "replacements": [
    {
      "path": "life_game/games/example.py",

    }
  ],
  "tests": ["uv run pytest tests/test_game.py"]
}

For method replacements:
- content must be the complete replacement method, including the def line.
- Replace the required methods and keep JSON valid.
- Do not invent helper methods or new imports unless the returned replacements define everything needed.
- Store new mechanic state in game.data.
- Directly update existing GameModel fields such as bullets, enemies, towers, or pickups when a mechanic needs new entities.
- Keep behavior deterministic from ticks, score, health, commands, or existing masks.
- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track hook_charge, rare_pearl cells, and bad_splitter cells in game.data or boss/enemy masks.
    - Increase hook_charge while fire is held or across ticks, then spend it on a wider cast.
    - Award distinct score or health rewards for rare pearls.
    - When bad catches split, spawn a small bounded pair of enemies.

Suggested tests:
    - Test hook charge increases cast width.
    - Test rare pearls award the configured reward.
    - Test bad catches split into bounded enemies.

Risk notes:
    - Do not require frontend hold detection; tick-based charge or repeated fire is safer.
    - Keep falling enemy rates unchanged unless the extension explicitly tunes them.

Mode: Snake Infection Hunt
Objective: Hunt the infection before it corners the snake and collapses the host.

- Keep behavior deterministic from ticks, score, health, commands, or existing masks.
- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track invulnerable_ticks, nest cells, and streak count in game.data.
    - Let eating a pellet grant bounded invulnerability and a clear message.
    - Make nests periodically seed enemies away from the snake head.
    - Award a growth or score streak when consecutive infections are eaten quickly.

Suggested tests:
    - Test pellets set and decrement invulnerability.
    - Test nests reseed enemies when pressure is low.
    - Test streak scoring does not break completion.

Risk notes:
    - Avoid returning to the previous no-enemies dead end.
    - Enemy chase changes should not make the snake impossible to steer.

For method replacements:
- content must be the complete replacement method, including the def line.
- Replace the required methods and keep JSON valid.
- Do not invent helper methods or new imports unless the returned replacements define everything needed.
- Store new mechanic state in game.data.
- Directly update existing GameModel fields such as bullets, enemies, towers, or pickups when a mechanic needs new entities.
- Keep behavior deterministic from ticks, score, health, commands, or existing masks.
- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Use existing enemy or tower masks for doors and breakable walls.
    - Track keys_collected and break_charges in game.data.
    - Let fire or pellet pickup break one nearby wall when charges are available.
    - Make door cells passable only after key collection.

Suggested tests:
    - Test collecting a key updates game.data.
    - Test locked doors block movement before a key and allow after.
    - Test break charges remove one wall deterministically.

Risk notes:
    - Keep wall density low so the snake cannot spawn trapped.
    - Do not implement a full maze generator inside an extension.

Keys and breakable wall blocks


[System] You are an expert Python game engineer. Return only JSON with complete Python method replacements. Build material game mechanics as deterministic local changes: store new state in game.data or existing GameModel masks, update player-visible messages/progress, prefer complete new()/command()/advance()/progress() method replacements, and avoid app UI, renderer, replay, dependency, or multi-file architecture work unless the prompt explicitly requests it.

Mode: Data Vampire
Objective: Feed on magenta data nodes; empty space slowly drains the host.
Developer intent: Create a clearer risk/reward loop where collected data can be banked for healing or spent for score bursts.
Extension id: blood_bank
Variant index: 2

Return JSON only with this schema:
{
  "summary": "short imperative summary",
  "rationale": "why the code change helps the game",
  "replacements": [
    {
      "path": "life_game/games/example.py",

    }
  ],
  "tests": ["uv run pytest tests/test_game.py"]
}

For method replacements:
- content must be the complete replacement method, including the def line.
- Replace the required methods and keep JSON valid.
- Do not invent helper methods or new imports unless the returned replacements define everything needed.
- Store new mechanic state in game.data.
- Directly update existing GameModel fields such as bullets, enemies, towers, or pickups when a mechanic needs new entities.
- Keep behavior deterministic from ticks, score, health, commands, or existing masks.
- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track stored_data and a bank_cooldown in game.data.
    - Change command() to bank or spend stored data using an existing command path.
    - Change advance() so data nodes feed stored_data without making the mode harder.
    - Add message text for banking, spending, and cooldown.

Suggested tests:
    - Test collecting data increments stored_data.
    - Test banking heals within max_health.
    - Test spending increases score and resets stored_data.

Risk notes:
    - This mode was previously too hard; avoid faster enemies or harsher damage.
    - Do not reintroduce Game of Life overlay behavior.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track safe_zone cells, safe_zone_ttl, poison_nodes, and hunger_streak in game.data.
    - Spawn safe zones deterministically after feeding milestones or low health.
    - Prevent enemy spawns inside active safe zones while ttl remains.
    - Make poison nodes cost health or stored score but never use model.grid as food.

Suggested tests:
    - Test safe zones prevent enemy placement inside the zone.
    - Test ttl expires and normal pressure resumes.
    - Test poison nodes damage or penalize without touching Conway grid cells.

Risk notes:
    - This mode was too hard; extensions should add agency before adding pressure.
    - Do not reintroduce Game of Life live cells as the food source.

Expiring safe feeding zones


[System] You are an expert Python game engineer. Return only JSON with complete Python method replacements. Build material game mechanics as deterministic local changes: store new state in game.data or existing GameModel masks, update player-visible messages/progress, prefer complete new()/command()/advance()/progress() method replacements, and avoid app UI, renderer, replay, dependency, or multi-file architecture work unless the prompt explicitly requests it.

Mode: Core Runner
Objective: Pick up cyan data packets, then carry them into purple cores before corruption closes the lanes.
Developer intent: Add a deliberate dash mechanic that lets the runner cross danger at a cost and leaves a temporary trail.
Extension id: dash_cooldown
Variant index: 2

Return JSON only with this schema:
{
  "summary": "short imperative summary",
  "rationale": "why the code change helps the game",
  "replacements": [
    {
      "path": "life_game/games/example.py",

    }
  ],
  "tests": ["uv run pytest tests/test_game.py"]
}

For method replacements:
- content must be the complete replacement method, including the def line.
- Replace the required methods and keep JSON valid.
- Do not invent helper methods or new imports unless the returned replacements define everything needed.
- Store new mechanic state in game.data.
- Directly update existing GameModel fields such as bullets, enemies, towers, or pickups when a mechanic needs new entities.
- Keep behavior deterministic from ticks, score, health, commands, or existing masks.
- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track dash_cooldown and trail cells in game.data or an existing GameModel field.
    - Change command() so a command can move two cells when dash is ready.
    - Change advance() so trails decay and interact with enemies or scoring.
    - Update messages for dash ready, used, and cooling down.

Suggested tests:
    - Test dash moves farther than normal movement when ready.
    - Test cooldown prevents immediate repeated dash.
    - Test trail decay is deterministic.

Risk notes:
    - Do not bypass collision checks silently.
    - Keep the runner controllable while enemies advance.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track cargo_type, core_types, boost_ticks, and dropped_cargo in game.data.
    - Only count delivery when cargo_type matches the target core type.
    - Drop cargo on hit instead of silently losing all progress.
    - After a delivery, clear one lane or repel nearby enemies for a short boost window.

Suggested tests:
    - Test matching cargo increments delivered.
    - Test wrong-core delivery does not increment target progress.
    - Test boost clears or repels the intended lane for bounded ticks.

Risk notes:
    - Use messages/progress to make color/type rules explicit.
    - Do not make cargo matching depend on renderer colors only.

Objective: Spend limited energy on defense nodes, score kills, and hold through the wave target.
Developer intent: Add range, splash, and slow tower roles with a small upgrade or relocate decision.
Extension id: tower_roles_upgrades
Variant index: 2

For method replacements:
- content must be the complete replacement method, including the def line.
- Replace the required methods and keep JSON valid.
- Do not invent helper methods or new imports unless the returned replacements define everything needed.
- Store new mechanic state in game.data.
- Directly update existing GameModel fields such as bullets, enemies, towers, or pickups when a mechanic needs new entities.
- Keep behavior deterministic from ticks, score, health, commands, or existing masks.
- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Store tower metadata in game.data while keeping game.towers as visible positions.
    - Cycle tower type or upgrade an existing tower through command/click logic.
    - Apply range, splash, or slow effects in advance() before wave movement.
    - Track energy costs and refund/relocate cooldowns deterministically.

Suggested tests:
    - Test each tower role applies its distinct effect.
    - Test upgrade cost changes energy and tower metadata.
    - Test tower cap and completion still work.

Risk notes:
    - Do not remove the current tower cap.
    - Keep splash and slow bounded so idle play does not auto-win again.

Mode: Territory Capture
Objective: Claim 35% of the grid before the infection erases your territory.

- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track shield_ticks, enclosed_bonus, and hazard_trails in game.data.
    - Grant shield while the player is actively closing a trail, then expire it quickly.
    - When a loop closes, count enemies inside or near the claimed area and award bonus score.
    - Let hazards cut active trails without erasing already claimed territory.

Suggested tests:
    - Test closing a loop claims territory and awards enclosure bonus.
    - Test shield prevents one trail hit while active.
    - Test hazards cut only active trail state.

Risk notes:
    - Loop detection should stay local to the current trail implementation.
    - Do not reintroduce runaway enemy territory growth.

Required replacement methods: new, command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track phase_name, phase_ticks, freeze_ticks, and power_cell positions in game.data.
    - Alternate phases on deterministic tick intervals or fire command.
    - During invulnerable phase, block one damage event but reduce claim radius or scoring.
    - Power cells should pause rival spread for a bounded number of ticks.

Suggested tests:
    - Test phase transitions update game.data.
    - Test invulnerable phase blocks one damage event.
    - Test freeze cells stop spread temporarily and then expire.

Risk notes:
    - Keep phase text visible in messages/progress.
    - Do not make the player permanently invulnerable.

Invulnerable phase and freeze cells


[System] You are an expert Python game engineer. Return only JSON with complete Python method replacements. Build material game mechanics as deterministic local changes: store new state in game.data or existing GameModel masks, update player-visible messages/progress, prefer complete new()/command()/advance()/progress() method replacements, and avoid app UI, renderer, replay, dependency, or multi-file architecture work unless the prompt explicitly requests it.

[User]
Mode: Drone Swarm
Objective: Pilot the command unit and switch static drone formations to shred hostile clusters.
Developer intent: Make drone formations more tactical by adding two anchor modes: guard the current anchor or orbit the pilot after an explicit formation switch.
Extension id: anchor_modes
Variant index: 2

Return JSON only with this schema:
{
  "summary": "short imperative summary",
  "rationale": "why the code change helps the game",
  "replacements": [
    {
      "path": "life_game/games/example.py",

    }
  ],
  "tests": ["uv run pytest tests/test_game.py"]
}

For method replacements:
- content must be the complete replacement method, including the def line.
- Replace the required methods and keep JSON valid.
- Do not invent helper methods or new imports unless the returned replacements define everything needed.
- Store new mechanic state in game.data.
- Directly update existing GameModel fields such as bullets, enemies, towers, or pickups when a mechanic needs new entities.
- Keep behavior deterministic from ticks, score, health, commands, or existing masks.
- Include tests that would verify the changed mechanic.

Required replacement methods: command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Store drone_anchor and drone_anchor_mode in game.data.
    - Movement must not recenter drones unless the active mode says orbiting should follow.
    - Fire/space should rotate formation and update the anchor point intentionally.
    - advance() should read game.towers as authoritative unless the selected mode requires recalculation.
    - Update messages so the player knows whether drones are anchored or orbiting.

Suggested tests:
    - Test movement preserves towers in anchored mode.
    - Test fire updates towers and anchor data.
    - Test orbit mode, if added, follows the player only after explicit mode selection.

Risk notes:
    - Do not recreate the old every-tick recentering accidentally.
    - Avoid making drone damage cover the whole board.

Required replacement methods: command, advance

Implementation notes:
    - Track overclock_ticks and cooldown in game.data.
    - On fire/space, set overclock_ticks if cooldown is zero.
    - In advance(), use a larger disk_mask radius while overclock_ticks is active.
    - Decrement overclock/cooldown every tick and update messages.

Suggested tests:
    - Test fire starts overclock and cooldown data.
    - Test overclock increases the drone kill radius.
    - Test cooldown prevents immediate repeated overclock.

Risk notes:
    - Keep the base static-formation behavior intact.
    - Do not let overclock stack indefinitely.
