AI-assisted change proposal. Filed by agent driven by @Cervator via GDD.

Summary

  • Adds an agent-facing orientation layer for Terasology — a task-axis index skill that routes to upstream docs rather than restating them, a per-doc triage that doubles as the upstream fix backlog, and the layering convention both follow.
  • Started as a terasology-review practice skill. All nine drafted items were baseline-tested against fresh subagents first and all nine passed with no skill present, so the practice skill was dropped; one item would have made an agent worse than having none, since both failures it said to ignore were fixed by #5352 and #5353. The design doc records that reasoning.
  • Fixes the adapter, which had two ai_context pointers aimed at files that do not exist and wired bare ws test terasology to a root sweep across all ~144 module test tasks. Every command is now subproject-scoped.

Carried commits (not authored for this PR)

This branch was cut from a local main that had two unpushed commits, so they ride along in the diff:

  • 18c49d0 — note the two MTE variants and the read-the-XML trap
  • 7434773 — recommend sharing one MTE engine per test class

Both predate this work (2026-07-30) and touch only .agent/skills/terasology-testing/SKILL.md. Kept deliberately rather than split out. Reviewer findings against that file are therefore in scope and have been addressed — including one neither reviewer raised: the PER_CLASS recommendation was justified by a chunk-generation stall that #5348 fixed on 2026-08-01, so the stated rationale had expired.

A review procedure was added after the original scoping

The summary above says the practice skill was dropped, and that remains the record of why. A six-step "Reviewing a PR" section was nonetheless added to the index skill later in review, covering ordering mistakes that cost real time — establishing the diff against the merge base, baselining a failure on the unmodified base, proving the code path was reached, and validating on a clean tree.

Both reviewers have since observed that this is practice content inside a routing skill. That is a fair reading, and the skill's opening no longer claims to route and never explain; it names the two sections that do explain and says they are there because no upstream page exists to point at yet. Whether the procedure should move to its own terasology-review skill is a real question and is not settled by this pull request — the design doc scopes process skills as a separate cycle.

Test plan

  • ws orient renders the three ai_context rows with no (MISSING) marker, lists [realm:realm-siliconsaga] terasology, and shows the scoped ws test / ws lint commands.
  • ws orient --check exits zero against this branch: every adapter parses and every ai_context pointer resolves. Run after the last commit.
  • Every doc path in the skill resolves — 20 targets checked with ls, no misses. This part is still by hand; --check covers adapter pointers, not the skill's own links.
  • :engine-tests:test, :engine:checkstyleMain :engine:pmdMain, and the three scoped clean tasks each verified with --dry-run; ~20 tasks planned per invocation, no module subprojects pulled in.
  • ws realm use realm-siliconsaga re-approval is required after merge — the adapter command values are part of the trust fingerprint.

The anti-rot gap has closed since this was opened

This section previously recorded the check as advisory only — (MISSING) markers rendered, nothing failing, no non-zero exit, and the enforcing test parked.

ws orient --check shipped in yggdrasil 1.1 and closes it. It gives the same computation an exit code, non-zero on any MISSING or INVALID PATH, so a schedule or CI step can gate on pointer rot. It landed as a flag on the command that already did the work rather than as the separate checker originally sketched, which keeps the containment and symlink-refusal logic in one implementation. Plain ws orient stays exit-zero, since blocking session start on doc rot would be a bad trade.

Two limits remain and are stated in the design doc rather than papered over. Nothing in this repository runs --check on a schedule yet, so the capability exists and is not yet exercised automatically. And a resolvable pointer still says nothing about whether the document it names is correct — that is what the triage doc's survey date is for.

Late finding worth a reviewer's attention

Terasology sets ignoreFailures = true for every Gradle Test task, so ./gradlew :engine-tests:test — and therefore ws test terasology — exits zero whatever the tests did. The test XML is the only verdict. This is recorded in the adapter, the testing skill, and the triage doc, and it pairs with the existing gap that nothing in CI launches the game: between them, a fully green build proves neither that the tests passed nor that the game starts.

An earlier round of this review weakened that guidance on the general argument that a failing Gradle run exits non-zero. It does not here, and the guidance has been restored with the file and line so it can be checked rather than argued.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d2a63

The PR adds agent-facing routing and status guidance and narrows Terasology commands to subprojects. At the current head, contradictory repository-navigation guidance, an incomplete Reactor entry, and inconsistent regeneration inputs could lead agents to choose invalid commands or stale documentation, so these issues should be reconciled or explicitly accepted before merge.

Inline comments:
In @.agent/skills/terasology-testing/SKILL.md:
- Around line 72-79: Update the targeted Gradle test guidance to use the cleanup
task matching each selected task, documenting cleanTest for test and the
corresponding cleanup tasks for unitTest, integrationTest, integrationTestFlaky,
integrationTestDiagnostic, and filesystemSideEffectTest. Preserve the existing
--rerun requirement and test XML inspection guidance.
- Around line 45-68: Revise the “Share one engine per test class” guidance to
limit `@TestInstance`(PER_CLASS) to test classes with controlled or intentionally
shared mutable state. State that MTEExtension retains engine state between
methods and only tears it down when the extension context closes, and instruct
authors to add explicit per-test cleanup or use the default lifecycle when
isolation is required.

In @.agent/skills/terasology/SKILL.md:
- Line 8: Update the opening layering statement in the Terasology skill to
clarify that routing rows point to upstream documentation when available, while
rows without documentation are tracked in terasology-doc-status.md. Keep the
existing routing purpose and references to the documentation-layering rules
unchanged.
- Line 53: Update the toolchain statement in SKILL.md to retain Gradle 9.6.1 and
Java 17 while linking the Gradle version to gradle-wrapper.properties and the
Java version to the build.gradle.kts Java 17 check using the provided repository
URLs.

In `@adapters/terasology.yaml`:
- Around line 2-16: Update the clean command in the adapter’s commands
configuration to invoke only :engine:clean, :engine-tests:clean, and
:facades:PC:clean, matching the scoped build, test, lint, and run commands while
leaving those commands unchanged.

In `@docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-plan.md`:
- Around line 487-497: Update
docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-plan.md lines 487-497 to require
anti-rot tests against actual adapters and indexed skills, not only synthetic
fixtures, and ensure missing paths produce a nonzero result rather than merely
printing “MISSING”. Update docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-design.md
lines 105-109 to either specify this exhaustive guarantee’s implementation or
narrow the design claim accordingly. Update
docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-plan.md lines 332-340 with the
required nonzero-result behavior for missing paths.
- Around line 361-398: The Terasology adapter documentation has an inconsistent
skill-pointer contract across the plan and design documents. In
docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-plan.md:361-398, remove the
unsupported “Consumes: the skill path from Task 3” requirement or define the
adapter field that implements it; in
docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-design.md:48-59, update the artifact
table to reflect the accepted documentation-only adapter deviation; and in
docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-plan.md:637-655, align the
spec-coverage and deviation sections with that decision.
- Around line 584-601: Document that the adapter parsing in the ai_context
display loop requires mikefarah/yq, including the supported version or minimum
version. Make the dependency explicit so Python yq is not treated as an
interchangeable runtime, while preserving the existing yq expressions and
_ws_orient_display_text sanitization.
- Around line 289-295: Update the “Raise log level in a test” row in the
documentation plan to use the complete command ./gradlew :engine-tests:test
-DlogOverrideLevel=debug, while preserving the existing instruction to read
build/reports/tests/.
- Around line 380-409: Scope the Terasology adapter’s lint command to the engine
project by changing the lint value under commands to use :engine:checkstyleMain
and :engine:pmdMain, and update the corresponding Step 3 dry-run command to
validate those exact tasks. Leave the build, test, run, clean, and fallback
guidance unchanged.

In `@docs/terasology-doc-status.md`:
- Around line 11-27: Align the indexed-document routing tables by adding
Event-Types.md to the terasology routing table in docs/terasology-doc-status.md
lines 11-27 and adding its corresponding route in
docs/plans/2026-08-02-terasology-agent-docs-plan.md lines 285-307; preserve the
existing warning about its dead links to Event-Patterns.md and Glossary.md.

```

`_ws_orient_display_text` is the existing sanitiser at line 335 — reuse it so a newline injected into an adapter value cannot forge output lines, matching how `commands` values are already handled.

mikefarah yq env(CTX_I) tonumber array index expression env variable operators

💡 Result:

In mikefarah/yq, you can use an environment variable as an array index by employing the env operator within square brackets [1][2]. Basic Usage To access an array element at an index defined by an environment variable (e.g., CTX_I), use the following syntax [3]: CTX_I=2 yq '.[env(CTX_I)]' file.yaml Numeric Conversion While the env operator typically parses environment variables as YAML nodes (including numbers) [1][2], if you encounter issues or need to ensure the variable is treated as a number explicitly, you can pipe it to the tonumber operator [1]: CTX_I=2 yq '.[env(CTX_I) | tonumber]' file.yaml Important Considerations 1. Dynamic Indexing: The env(VAR) syntax is specifically designed to sidestep complex shell quoting and escaping issues when dynamically accessing keys or array indices [1][2][4]. 2. Limitations: Direct dynamic access using environment variables typically works for single-level operations. For deeply nested paths, you may need to use split and reduce [5], or construct the path expression using strenv and eval [2]. 3. Alternative Syntax: If you are using a variable that contains a string representation of a path or index, you can also use strenv(VAR) inside an eval block for more complex dynamic path generation [2].

Pull request overview

This PR adds an agent-facing documentation/orientation layer for working on Terasology from within the realm-siliconsaga realm, centered on (1) a task-axis routing skill that points to upstream Terasology docs, (2) a triage/backlog doc recording doc currency and dated corrections, and (3) adapter/index updates so ws surfaces the right entry points and avoids overly-broad Gradle sweeps.

Changes:

  • Add Terasology doc triage + “agent doc layering” convention documents, plus accompanying design/implementation plan docs.
  • Introduce a new terasology skill and register it in the realm skill indexes.
  • Fix adapters/terasology.yaml (scoped test/lint commands, refreshed ai_context pointers) and expand terasology-testing guidance.

**This is also the upstream remediation backlog.** Rows leave this file as fixes land in `MovingBlocks/Terasology`. The file shrinking is the progress metric.

**Currency limit:** the `ws orient` pointer check verifies that paths resolve. It cannot verify that a doc's *content* is still true. That is what the survey date above is for.
agent-refr pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 9, 2026
Two real self-contradictions: the adapter header claimed every command was scoped while `clean` was still the root sweep, and the design/plan disagreed about an adapter skill pointer the plan's own self-review had already dropped.

Two false claims removed: the triage doc asserted a `ws orient` pointer check that lives in an unmerged companion PR, and the design doc claimed an enforcing anti-rot test that was never built — the latter now describes the advisory reality and the enforcing version is deferred with a Thalamus note.

Scoped `clean` verified with `--dry-run` (three tasks, no module subprojects). Adapter change makes realm trust stale again — re-approve after merge.

Narrow the link-test coverage claim.

The artifact table says the bats test asserts that every pointer resolves on disk. Lines 109-110 state that the test uses only synthetic fixtures and does not verify real adapter pointers. Describe this artifact as rendering and marker coverage, or add a live adapter scan.

Make the triage schema match the status artifact.

The design promises one row per document with status, agent value, correction, and upstream action. docs/terasology-doc-status.md instead uses section-specific tables and combines entries such as Textures.md and Translation-Guide.md. Revise the design to describe the actual schema, or add the promised fields.

- **`gradlew game` writes into the repo root.** `RunTerasology.initConfig()` unconditionally adds `--homedir=.`. `:facades:PC:run` is a stock `application`-plugin task and does not.
- **Gradle is 9.6.1** (`gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`) **and Java is 17** (asserted in `build.gradle.kts`). Only `Contributor-Quick-Start.md` states the Java version; nothing states Gradle. Read the two files rather than trusting these numbers — that is the point of naming them.

Two real self-contradictions: the adapter header claimed every command was scoped while `clean` was still the root sweep, and the design/plan disagreed about an adapter skill pointer the plan's own self-review had already dropped.

Two false claims removed: the triage doc asserted a `ws orient` pointer check that lives in an unmerged companion PR, and the design doc claimed an enforcing anti-rot test that was never built — the latter now describes the advisory reality and the enforcing version is deferred with a Thalamus note.

Scoped `clean` verified with `--dry-run` (three tasks, no module subprojects). Adapter change makes realm trust stale again — re-approve after merge.

  • Same issue here: --rerun is not a valid Gradle option; this should be --rerun-tasks.
  `engine-tests/build/test-results/**/TEST-*.xml` and re-run with `--rerun`.

- **Use `@In`, not `@Inject`** in MTE test classes — the harness uses `InjectionHelper`
- **Inner-class `@BroadcastEvent`/`@OwnerEvent`/`@ServerEvent` don't network-replicate** — use existing engine events or `TestEventReceiver` for local tests
- **Always `cleanTest` for targeted Gradle runs** — stale cache serves old failures
- **Clean the task you are actually running, and qualify it.** Gradle derives one clean task per test task, so `:engine-tests:cleanTest` clears `:engine-tests:test` and nothing else. `engine-tests` also defines `unitTest`, `integrationTest`, `integrationTestFlaky`, `integrationTestDiagnostic` and `filesystemSideEffectTest` — pair each with its own `:engine-tests:cleanUnitTest` / `:engine-tests:cleanIntegrationTest` / etc., or use `--rerun`. Stale cache otherwise serves old failures. Keep the `:engine-tests:` prefix: an unqualified `cleanTest` matches the task in every subproject, which in an Omega workspace is the same ~144-module sweep the adapter's scoped commands exist to avoid

## Reviewing a PR

The order matters more than any single step. Most wrong review conclusions here came from doing these out of order, not from missing knowledge.

1. **Establish the diff honestly.** `git diff develop` on a PR branch shows tip-to-tip drift, not the change — one PR read as 772 deletions that way against a true +15. Use three-dot (`develop...pr`) or `git log develop..pr`; GitHub already renders the merge-base diff correctly. To test against current `develop`, cherry-pick the PR's commits onto a scratch branch rather than testing an old base.

MTE exists twice — engine-tests and the standalone module — and they have already drifted. A reviewer who only looks at the copy in front of them will keep widening the gap, so the skill now says to check both and carry findings across, with the CoreRegistry divergence as a worked example.

Framed as temporary: the intent is one unified MTE, plausibly a gestalt-engine component, but until that exists the duplication is maintained by hand.

Also adds the verification trap this effort hit twice: a Gradle run under -q has reported exit 0 with failing tests, and an UP-TO-DATE task silently serves stale results. Read the test XML.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each MTE engine costs about 20 seconds to build, and the default per-method test instance lifecycle means every test method builds its own. @testinstance(PER_CLASS) shares one across the class.

It also avoids the chunk-generation stall that appears once a JVM has built enough engines — the failure ItemPipes was hitting, where later engines get partway through a relevance region and stop. Called out as a workaround rather than a fix, since raising timeouts does not help.

Notes that the module-side MTE had this as its default and the engine variant deliberately swapped the bespoke Scopes/IsolatedMTEExtension machinery for JUnit's annotation, so nothing was lost except the default.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Baseline-tested the nine drafted review "traps" against fresh subagents first: all nine passed without any skill, and one — a list of standing failures to dismiss — would have made an agent worse, since #5352 and #5353 fixed both on 2026-08-01. The gap is discovery, not judgement, so this specs an index rather than the practice skill originally planned.

Deliberately deviates from `2026-05-30-skill-taxonomy-design.md`: its ownership test puts this in `components/terasology/`, but Terasology will not carry agent config, so the realm hosts it until a Terasology realm splits out.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Six tasks over two repos; tasks 1-5 (realm) are independent of task 6 (yggdrasil), which uses bats fixtures rather than the live realm.

Narrows the spec twice: the adapter gets no skill pointer (ai_context holds doc paths, not skills), and the link check becomes a MISSING marker in `ws orient` output rather than a standalone checker — a checker in yggdrasil validating realm files would have needed the realm CR to land first.

Subagent cost is not the binding constraint, so wholesale re-survey is affordable and the per-cluster alternative drops. What stays open is the trigger, not the method.

Generalizes past Terasology — the placement test and the annotation-not-shadow-doc rule apply to any project we index but do not own.

Routes on the task axis rather than the topic axis — `_sidebar.md` already indexes by topic for humans, and duplicating it would add nothing. Baseline testing showed agents reason fine unprompted but pay 25-35k tokens rediscovering local facts; this is aimed at that, not at judgement.

Adds the `Playing.md` triage row in the same commit because the skill's ⚠ convention means "has a row in #fix-cheaply", and that marker had nowhere to point.

Two of three ai_context paths pointed at files that do not exist (CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/architecture.md) — verified absent before removing.

The bare `test:` wired `ws test terasology` to a root sweep across all ~144 module test tasks. `lint:` is newly wired and scoped to `:engine:` for the same reason: an unqualified `checkstyleMain` matches every subproject in the build. Both scoped forms verified with `--dry-run` (20 tasks each, no module tasks pulled in).

The taxonomy's open question flags index drift as the known failure mode here; both indexes are hand-maintained, so both get the row.

The PER_CLASS advice was justified by a chunk-generation stall that #5348 fixed on 2026-08-01 — ItemPipes runs 3/3 without the annotation now. Left as-was it recommends trading isolation away for a bug that no longer exists; MTEExtension only tears the engine down when the extension context closes, so a shared engine leaks state between methods.

`cleanTest` clears only the `test` task. engine-tests defines five more Test tasks, each with its own derived clean task.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… cost real time

The report path was wrong twice over: Gradle writes per-project *and* per-task, so `:engine-tests:test` lands in `engine-tests/build/reports/tests/test/`, with `integrationTest` beside it. Verified against a real run rather than reasoned about.

The currency note still said the yggdrasil `ai_context` renderer had not merged. It has, and it immediately flagged two dead pointers in this realm's own adapter — but it only displays, so the wording now draws the line between informing and enforcing instead of implying the gap closed.

Four new gaps, every one something that actually bit this week rather than a speculative addition: case-only duplicate filenames producing phantom deletions on case-insensitive filesystems; the build harness writing into module source trees, and Kallisti being the case where that destroys intent rather than adding noise; asset JSON being lenient Gson rather than RFC 8259; and nothing in CI ever launching the game, so a green build is compatible with a client that cannot start.

Six ordered steps now fill that, every one from a wrong conclusion this realm's workspaces actually reached: a tip-to-tip diff read as 772 deletions against a true +15, a fully green pipeline alongside a game that could not start, an additive native change that broke only clean checkouts, and a near-miss where a reviewer was one step from telling a contributor his dependency bump broke 21 tests that were already failing.

Order is the content. Each step is knowledge an agent mostly has; doing them in the wrong sequence is what produces the wrong answer, which is why this is a procedure rather than a facts list.

Corrects a fact that #155 made false: module repos are no longer unaddressable by `ws`. They resolve as `terasology/modules/<Name>` across every repo-touching verb, including `clone-fork` to wire a fork in place — which matters because a module cloned out on its own cannot build.

Two new gaps, one of them explicitly not ours: the launcher's TestFX/Monocle failure is an aarch64 fact rather than a macOS one (an Intel Mac never sees it) and belongs in the launcher's testing docs, not the engine's.

…lly showed

Baseline-tested against ten fresh agents on the real launcher case, in two variants — one stating CI was green, one with CI pending — and the predicted failure did not occur. Not one of the ten blamed the contributor. Every one read "all failures inside stage bootstrap, before any assertion" as an environment mismatch on its own.

So the original framing was wrong. Avoiding a false accusation is not the value, because agents already avoid it unprompted. What most runs did instead was defer to CI: safe, slow, and it hands the question back to the maintainer who asked for a verdict today. The local baseline answers the same question in one command.

Reworded to say that, with the evidence named rather than asserted. Confirms it as documentation rather than skill material — the tenth item in a row to fail that bar here, which is itself the argument for keeping the bar.

…h the gap list

Review pass over the open findings. Most were already fixed by later commits on
this branch and only needed resolving; these are the ones that were still true.

**Test paths were unqualified.** The XML to read after a run is
`engine-tests/build/test-results/`, not the workspace root — the same mistake
already corrected once for the reports directory, made again one line down. The
clean tasks had the same shape: a bare `cleanTest` matches that task in every
subproject, which in an Omega workspace is the ~144-module sweep the adapter's
scoped commands exist to avoid. Both now carry the `:engine-tests:` prefix, and
the bullet says why so the next edit does not drop it again. The plan doc's
log-level row carried the old reports path too.

**The gap list claimed to be complete and was not.** "Each of these" implied the
six bullets were the set, while the triage doc had thirteen. Rather than mirror
all thirteen into a router, the section now says it carries the facts that change
what you do next and names the triage doc as the full list — plus the three
omissions that genuinely change a review: case-only duplicate assets, the harness
writing into module source trees, and lenient asset JSON. The fourth flagged
omission, nothing in CI runs the game, is already step 5 of Reviewing a PR;
repeating it inside one skill would be worse than leaving it there.

**The deferred anti-rot gap is closed.** The design honestly recorded that
nothing exited non-zero on a dead pointer and tracked it as a follow-up.
`ws orient --check` now does, so the section records the closure and how the
shape changed: a flag on the command that already did the computation, rather
than the separate walk-the-live-adapters test sketched at design time — the
rendering path already had the containment and symlink-refusal logic, and a
second implementation would have been a second thing to keep true. The second
limit stands and is not scheduled to close: a pointer that resolves still says
nothing about whether the doc it names is correct. The triage doc's currency
note is reworded on the same split — the paths here are checkable, the claims
are not.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Four fixes, one of them a regression the previous commit caused.

**The reciprocal gap claim.** Narrowing the skill's gap section to "a selection"
left the triage doc still asserting that every undocumented fact lives in the
skill. Both halves now agree: the triage table is the complete list, the skill
mirrors the subset that changes what a reader does next.

**The plan contradicted the skill about module repos.** It still said `ws`
cannot address them and that module commits need raw git or `ws hook-bypass`.
That stopped being true when yggdrasil #155 landed nested targets, and a plan
that disagrees with the skill sends an agent down the obsolete path. Corrected,
with a note recording what it used to say so the change is legible rather than
silent.

**"Read the test XML, not the exit code" overstated a real trap.** A failing
Gradle run does normally exit non-zero; the exit code is the first signal and
usually the true one. The trap is narrower: `-q` has reported exit 0 with
failing tests, and `UP-TO-DATE` serves the previous run's results. Reworded to
check the exit code first and read the XML when a green run is surprising,
which is advice an agent can act on without ignoring the cheap signal.

**The Reactor row, partially.** The review asked for a `⚠` marker. Declined as
specified: `⚠` is defined in this skill as "the doc is wrong in a specific,
recorded way" and links to the fix-cheaply table, and this doc is neither wrong
nor listed there — the migration it describes is real and accurate, the
codebase has not finished it. Marking it `⚠` would send a reader to an
annotation that does not exist. The underlying risk is real, though: an agent
reading it would assume `TaskMaster` is gone. Noted inline in the row instead.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ng what it is

Three fixes from the sixth review round, two of them structural.

**The ⚠ convention was too narrow, which is why the Reactor row had no good
option.** It was defined as "the doc is wrong in a specific, recorded way" and
linked to the fix-cheaply table. The Reactor guide is not wrong — the migration
it describes is real and the codebase has not finished it — so marking it ⚠ sent
readers to an annotation that was not there, and the previous round put the note
inline in the routing row instead. That duplicated the triage doc and would rot,
which is exactly what the layering convention exists to prevent. The marker now
means "the triage doc records something to read before trusting this row",
covering both a wrong doc and an accurate doc the code has not caught up with,
and the annotation lives in one place again.

**The skill claimed to route and not explain, and that stopped being true.** It
carries a six-step review procedure and a facts-with-no-documentation-home
section; both explain. Rather than move them, the opening now says what the file
actually is — a router first, with two sections that are here for the same
reason the triage doc is, namely that no upstream page exists to point at, and
that leave as upstream docs get written. An honest description is cheaper to
keep true than a rule the file breaks twice.

**The currency note said the check flag ships on the 1.1 branch.** It shipped;
1.1 is released.

Three findings were declined. `--rerun` is a real Gradle task option, not a
typo for `--rerun-tasks` — `gradlew help --task :engine-tests:test` on 9.6.1
lists it as "Causes the task to be re-run even if up-to-date", and the two flags
differ in scope. The adapter's `clean` is already scoped to three subprojects.
And the `groovyw` bullet names `usage` as an exception to the type-first form
rather than contradicting it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Sweeping the findings older than the last round, several of which were still
open because earlier passes fixed the instance and not the claim.

**Paths never said what they were relative to.** A reviewer asked for one bullet
to be component-qualified. Qualifying one row and leaving twenty ambiguous is
worse than either option, and the file is consistently component-relative
already — the same frame the adapter uses for its own `ai_context` entries. Said
so once, above the routing table, instead.

**`Event-Types.md` earns a ⚠ now.** Widening the marker in the previous commit
had a consequence worth following through: the triage doc records dead links to
two never-created pages, which is exactly "something to read before trusting the
row". It is the only other keep-and-index entry whose note affects trust —
`Developing-Commands.md` is annotated "harmless" and the rest are positive.

**The plan still argued that rendering a marker was sufficient.** It said the
approach "needs no new command", and the reviewers were right that this left
nothing ever exiting non-zero. Recorded as superseded by `ws orient --check`
rather than rewritten, so the reasoning and its correction both stay visible.

**The artifact table overclaimed the test.** It promised the bats coverage
asserts every pointer resolves on disk; the coverage is synthetic fixtures and
proves the marker logic instead. The design's own anti-rot section had said so
plainly for two rounds while the table above it said otherwise.

Nothing here changes what the tooling does. Every fix is a document that
described something other than what exists.

  • The PR description says the practice skill was dropped after the baseline scenarios passed, and the design explicitly keeps process skills out of scope and skips scenario testing only because this skill is pure reference. This six-step review procedure reintroduces behavioral review guidance, so the delivered skill no longer matches the declared scope or test rationale. Remove the procedure/review trigger, or revise and validate the design as a process skill.
## Reviewing a PR

The order matters more than any single step. Most wrong review conclusions here came from doing these out of order, not from missing knowledge.

1. **Establish the diff honestly.** `git diff develop` on a PR branch shows tip-to-tip drift, not the change — one PR read as 772 deletions that way against a true +15. Use three-dot (`develop...pr`) or `git log develop..pr`; GitHub already renders the merge-base diff correctly. To test against current `develop`, cherry-pick the PR's commits onto a scratch branch rather than testing an old base.


**This is also the upstream remediation backlog.** Rows leave this file as fixes land in `MovingBlocks/Terasology`. The file shrinking is the progress metric.

**Currency limit:** the *paths* here are checkable; the *claims* are not. `ws orient` renders each adapter `ai_context` pointer and marks unresolvable ones `(MISSING)` — that yggdrasil change has merged, and it caught two dead pointers in this realm's own adapter. `ws orient --check` turns the same computation into an exit code, so a schedule can block on a dead pointer instead of waiting for someone to read the output; that flag shipped in yggdrasil 1.1, and nothing here runs it on a schedule yet. Neither form says whether a doc's *content* is true — a file that exists and is wrong passes both. That is what the survey date above is for.

- **Check the exit code, then check the XML anyway.** A failing Gradle run
normally does exit non-zero, so the exit code is the first signal and usually
the true one. It is not sufficient: a run under `-q` has reported exit 0 with
failing tests, and a task reporting `UP-TO-DATE` silently serves the previous
run's results. When a green run is at all surprising — nothing changed, or it
finished implausibly fast — read
`engine-tests/build/test-results/**/TEST-*.xml` and re-run with `--rerun`.
Comment thread .agent/skills/terasology/SKILL.md Outdated
The facts below are the ones that change what you do next, each a pending upstream doc PR. They are a selection, not the whole set — [gaps](../../../docs/terasology-doc-status.md#gaps) is the complete list and the place a new one gets recorded.

- **`gradlew game` writes into the repo root.** `RunTerasology.initConfig()` unconditionally adds `--homedir=.`. `:facades:PC:run` is a stock `application`-plugin task and does not.
- **Gradle is 9.6.1** (`gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`) **and Java is 17** (asserted in `build.gradle.kts`). Only `Contributor-Quick-Start.md` states the Java version; nothing states Gradle. Read the two files rather than trusting these numbers — that is the point of naming them.
Comment thread docs/terasology-doc-status.md Outdated
| Gap | Fact |
|---|---|
| Test log levels | `engine-tests/src/test/resources/logback-test.xml` pins `org.terasology` to `${logOverrideLevel:-info}`. Raise with `-DlogOverrideLevel=debug`. `build-logic/src/main/kotlin/terasology-metrics.gradle.kts:69` sets `showStandardStreams = false`, so test output goes to a report directory, not the console. Reports are per-project *and* per-task: `engine-tests/build/reports/tests/test/`, `engine-tests/build/reports/tests/integrationTest/` |

## Reviewing a PR

The order matters more than any single step. Most wrong review conclusions here came from doing these out of order, not from missing knowledge.

1. **Establish the diff honestly.** `git diff develop` on a PR branch shows tip-to-tip drift, not the change — one PR read as 772 deletions that way against a true +15. Use three-dot (`develop...pr`) or `git log develop..pr`; GitHub already renders the merge-base diff correctly. To test against current `develop`, cherry-pick the PR's commits onto a scratch branch rather than testing an old base.

2. **Baseline against the unmodified base rather than deferring to CI.** Re-run the failing command on the base branch and compare: an identical failure localises the cause to the environment, a clean one localises it to the change. Ten fresh-agent runs on a real case say the instinct to *blame the contributor* does not appear — the failure signature gets read correctly on its own. What appeared instead, in most runs, was waiting for CI to decide. That is safe and slow, and it hands the question back to the maintainer who asked. The local baseline settles the same thing in one command, which is what lets a review finish the day it starts. It also catches what a known-failures list misses — a genuinely new failure hiding among familiar ones.

3. **Scope the run.** `ws test terasology <ClassName>` resolves the class on disk and scopes to one subproject; a name that does not resolve falls back to a root run across every module test task. Verify the class exists first, and remember `engine-tests` has six test tasks, not one — `test` excludes the `filesystemSideEffects` and `diagnostic` tags.

4. **Prove the code path was reached** before concluding "no error, therefore it works". A silent no-op and a working feature look identical from outside. Absence of a log line is not absence of behaviour either — check the level first, since a DEBUG line missing from an INFO run proves nothing.

5. **A green build is not a working game.** Nothing in CI launches the client, and MTE is headless, so a fully green pipeline is compatible with a game that cannot start. `./gradlew game` is the check that catches it, and it needs a human.

6. **Validate on a clean tree when the change touches generated or native files.** An additive change leaves the old artifacts in place, so every existing checkout keeps working and only a fresh one breaks — which reads as "works on my machine" on every machine that has one.

…ersions that rot

**The exit-code guidance was right, and I weakened it two rounds ago.** The
original said read the XML rather than the exit code. A reviewer argued a
failing Gradle run normally exits non-zero, which is true in general, and I
softened the bullet to check the exit code first. It is not true here:
`terasology-metrics.gradle.kts:66` sets `ignoreFailures = true` inside
`tasks.withType<Test>`, so every test task in the project exits zero whatever
the tests did. Verified in the file rather than reasoned about. Restored to the
stronger claim, now carrying the reason so the next reviewer can check it
instead of arguing from general Gradle behaviour.

That has a consequence the adapter had not recorded: `ws test terasology`
reports "the run completed", never "the tests passed", which makes it unsafe as
an automation gate. Noted in the adapter and added to the triage doc next to the
CI row it pairs with — nothing in CI runs the game, and the tests it does run
cannot report failure through an exit code.

**`lint` is only half-affected, and I nearly got that wrong too.** The first
draft of the adapter note said PMD and SpotBugs both ignore failures so lint is
equally unsafe. Checkstyle sets `isIgnoreFailures = false` and does fail the
command; PMD does not. A green `ws lint terasology` means no Checkstyle
violations, not clean. Caught by checking the extension config before committing
the claim.

**The quoted Gradle version went stale within a week.** The bullet said 9.6.1
while naming the wrapper file as the source of truth, and upstream bumped to
9.7.1 on 2026-08-16. Both the skill and the triage row now name the file and
omit the number, which is what the layering convention this pull request
introduces has been saying all along. A neat demonstration of its own rule.

Also stopped the spec-coverage table claiming Task 4 delivers the adapter skill
pointer that the deviation note two lines below says was dropped.

… it costs locally

The previous commit got the fact right and the reason wrong. It described
`ignoreFailures = true` as making the adapter "unsafe for automation" and said
making it safe was an upstream change nobody had made — which reads as a defect
waiting on a fix.

It is a decision. Jenkins reads the reports and marks a build carrying analytics
or test findings UNSTABLE rather than FAILED, so the exit code is reserved for
"the build broke" and the reports carry "the build has findings". Flipping the
flag would collapse a distinction the CI depends on in order to make local runs
more convenient.

What survives is the local cost, which is real and unchanged: nothing reads the
reports for you outside Jenkins, so a green `./gradlew :engine-tests:test` — or
`ws test terasology` — means the run completed, and the XML is the only verdict.
All three places now say that, and say the flag is deliberate so nobody
helpfully removes it.

Recorded as an **open design question** rather than a gap with a known fix: a
local signal that separates "broke" from "has findings" without disturbing the
Jenkins semantics does not exist yet, and inventing one in the adapter would
just hide the distinction a second time.
