Orblike -> Invoker

1    # Orblike — Plan
2   
3   Implementation roadmap for the new direction (chord-cast spells + Minesweeper meta-dungeon). Pair with `design.md` for what we're building and `spells.md` for spell-system mechanics.
4   
5   ---
6   
7   ## Strategy
8   
9   **Tutorial-first.** Build the spell-cast tutorial and the dungeon-meta tutorial before any other content. The tutorial is the smallest complete game — if we can't teach it cleanly, the design has problems and we discard early rather than after building the rest. Once both tutorials work end-to-end, all the core systems exist; everything after is content expansion + lifecycle + polish.
10  
11  **Validate twice.** Two hard validation gates:
12  1. After Phase 1: does chord-casting feel satisfying? If no → pivot the casting design.
13  2. After Phase 2: does the Minesweeper meta feel engaging? If no → pivot the meta design.
14  
15  Either pivot is far cheaper at the gate than after building enemies, leagues, save systems, and content for the (now wrong) design.
16  
17  **Pacing.** Incremental. One sub-deliverable at a time. User tests between deliverables. No chaining without check-ins.
18

21  ## Current state
22  
23  **Shipped (still relevant after the unwind):**
24  - v2 starter on Anchor 2 (`main.lua`, `anchor/` framework copy)
25  - Player movement (WASD)
26  - Wall pipeline + palette/edition cycling system
27  - Hideout + tutorial corridor map shapes (geometry only — entity content is from the old orbs design and will be replaced)
28  - UI primitive substrate (`ui.lua`): `ui_panel`, `ui_text`, `ui_slot`, `ui_item_icon`, drag-drop framework
29  - F2 debug screen, F3-F5 memory tracker, F9-F10 palette cycling
30  - Per-run state lifecycle (`run.lua`) — schema reset to placeholders for the new spell system

2   
3   Live combinatorial spell-casting. Player chords primitives into spells; the same primitives can be recombined moment-to-moment. Replaces the orb/gem/socket system from earlier design iterations.
4   
5   ---
6   
7   ## Cast structure
8   
9   - **3 slots per cast.** A cast may fill 1, 2, or 3 slots.
10  - **Multiset semantics.** Order doesn't matter (Fire+Wind+Earth = Earth+Fire+Wind).
11  - **At least one element required.** Pure-formation casts don't fire.
12  - **Cost = mana.** Spammable. Cost scales with chord complexity (specific values TBD).
13  
14  ## Primitive types
15  
16  - **Elements** — what the magic *is*. Each has a default unmodified behavior ("fantasy") that surfaces when no formation modifies it.
17  - **Formations** — how the magic manifests. Act as rule operators on whatever else is in the cast.
18  
19  ## Compositional rules
20  
21  **Element default.** Each element has an unmodified behavior. Fire's default is unstructured outward expulsion in front of the caster.
22  
23  **Same-element doubling** introduces a new geometric form (not just intensification). Example: Fire+Fire = Fire Pillar (rectangular damage area at target).
24  
25  **Same-element tripling** unlocks a *compound primitive*. The cast both fires the powerful pure-element spell *and* teaches the recipe. Compound primitives can later be found in the world as 1-slot drops that encode multiple primitives' worth of effect, enabling deeper spells inside the 3-slot limit.
26  
27  **Formation operators** (rough tendencies in single-formation casts, not strict laws):
28  
29  | Formation | Tendency |

56:**Game projects (emoji-ball-battles, Orblike, etc.):** Don't build or run after making code changes — the user will compile and test themselves.
66:- **Orblike/** — ORBS (Orthogonal Rule Binding System) example game, SNKRX visual style. Built on Anchor 2.
97:## Orblike
99:Orblike is built on **Anchor 2**. When the user mentions this session is for Orblike, immediately read these files to get acquainted:
101:1. **Design:** `Orblike/design.md` — system goals, lore, scope, open questions
102:2. **Plan:** `Orblike/plan.md` — phased implementation roadmap, current state, deferred items
104:4. **Game codebase:** `Orblike/main.lua` — the current game code
108:**API usage:** When using framework functions, proactively read `Anchor2/docs/FRAMEWORK_API.md` (the full version) to verify correct usage. Don't guess function signatures or parameters — look them up. The actual files Orblike loads live in `Orblike/anchor/<file>.lua` (a copy of Anchor 2's framework that can drift); grep there if a function isn't where the docs say. **Do not use `Anchor/docs/` — that's the v1 framework with a different architecture.**
111:- `Orblike/reference/mockup_ui_kit_1.html` — palette + tutorial-relevant elements (top bar, orb icons, shop, inventory, HUD, tooltip, buttons, ability cards)
112:- `Orblike/reference/mockup_ui_kit_2.html` — general primitives (panel chrome, buttons, tabs, badges, rarity, form controls, keybinds, progress bars)
113:- `Orblike/reference/mockup_ui_kit_3.html` — inventory/character/orb (grids, cell states, item tooltip, list view, paper-doll, drop targets)
114:- `Orblike/reference/mockup_ui_kit_4.html` — menus/maps/progression (world map, quests, dialogue, settings, pause, save slots, achievements, modals)
115:- `Orblike/reference/ui_primitives_spec.md` — palette tokens + design decisions in spec form (paired with the mockups)
117:The kit PNGs (`orblike_ui_kit_*.png`, `orblike_inventory_orb_*.png`, `orblike_hud.png`) are the *original sources* the mockups were derived from. The mockups are ground truth because they use the locked palette.
119:**Visual style reference (effects, not UI):** `Orblike/reference/SNKRX_visual_effects_catalog.md` and `Orblike/reference/snkrx_style_effects.md` document the SNKRX visual style comprehensively.

3   Guidelines for Claude Code instances working in this repository.
4   
5   ---
6   
7   ## Communication Style
8   
9   Be thorough. Write as much as the subject warrants — explain reasoning, include relevant context, surface adjacent considerations. Stay roughly on topic, but don't truncate for brevity's sake.
10  
11  Critique freely. Ideas, code, plans, artifacts — evaluate them honestly. Avoid sycophancy. Focus on what seems true rather than what's convenient or what you think I'd like to hear. I crave honest appraisal, including when it's uncomfortable.
12  
13  Embrace contradiction. Truth often contains multiple seemingly opposite ideas. Don't censor yourself to avoid inconsistency — multiple perspectives can be correct simultaneously. Present the tension rather than forcing artificial resolution.
14  
15  Express uncertainty. "I'm guessing," "I'm uncertain," "I might be wrong" — these are information, not weakness. False confidence is worse than acknowledged uncertainty.
16  
17  ---
18  
19  ## Working Style
20  
21  ### When to Ask
22  
23  Use the `AskUserQuestion` tool liberally. The developer prefers being asked over having Claude guess wrong.
24  
25  **Ask first:**
26  - Architecture decisions
27  - API design choices
28  - Design decisions (gameplay feel, mechanics, UI)
29  - Anything that could be done multiple valid ways
30  - When uncertain about intent or priorities

66:- **Invoker/** — Chord-cast spell roguelike (Invoker/Magicka-inspired) with a Minesweeper meta-dungeon, SNKRX visual style. Built on Anchor 2. Working name — was "Orblike" before the redesign.
99:Invoker is built on **Anchor 2**. (Was "Orblike" until 2026-05-11 — many `reference/` docs still use the old name; the project itself was renamed when the design pivoted away from orbs.) When the user mentions this session is for Invoker, immediately read these files to get acquainted:
117:The kit PNGs (`orblike_ui_kit_*.png`, `orblike_inventory_orb_*.png`, `orblike_hud.png`) are the *original sources* the mockups were derived from — file names retain the old project name because the `reference/` folder wasn't swept during the rename. The mockups are ground truth because they use the locked palette.

15:This worked for Orblike and emoji-ball-battles but showed two problems:
17:1. **The tree is great for one thing (compositional ownership) and mediocre-to-bad at everything else** (aggregates, back-references, event subscriptions, spatial queries). Orblike ended up using the tree for composition and plain tables for everything else, producing a codebase with five different reference patterns and no consistent story.
352:Anchor 1's `class.lua` is 64 lines with `:extend()`, parent pointers, super calls. Inheritance is barely used in practice — Orblike has `seeker = object:extend()` and never extends further.
734:- **`reference_taxonomy.md`** — The 10 types of object references in games, with Orblike examples. Reference material for understanding *why* the ID discipline works.
739:All earlier Anchor-related reference material is in `E:/a327ex/Orblike/reference/` and pertains to Anchor 1.

155:Examples of short lifetimes in Orblike's style:
235:## Applying the disciplines to Orblike's concrete cases
237:Let me walk through every reference pattern in Orblike and show what it becomes under these disciplines.
240:→ Discipline 5. Plain fields, destroyed in `seeker:destroy()`. Unchanged from Orblike's current pattern, minus the `self:add()` wrapper.
344:These four disciplines (plus the one convention for type 1) handle every reference pattern in Orblike without needing `link`, `subscribe`, `own-as-framework-primitive`, or any relation graph. The framework shrinks to near-nothing. Call sites are more verbose but more explicit. Every line tells you what's happening.
361:I want to note the one place where the disciplines feel slightly unnatural: the `entities[self.source_orb_id]` pattern in hot update code. In Orblike, code like beam update runs every frame and accesses its source orb multiple times per frame. Writing `entities[self.source_orb_id]` ten times per function is ugly.

3:A clear enumeration of every distinct kind of reference that shows up between objects in game code, using Orblike as a primary reference and drawing on general game dev experience. This document is descriptive, not prescriptive — it defines the problem space before we design solutions.
38:**Orblike examples:**

148:**Orblike examples:**
174:**Orblike examples:**
204:**Orblike examples:**
230:**Orblike examples:**
245:- Rebuild cost (Orblike rebuilds cached_enemies every frame, which is cheap now but scales linearly)
258:**Orblike examples:**
287:**Orblike examples:**
327:- **Type 4 (aggregate collection)** — poorly, via `an:all(tag)`. Slow enough that Orblike caches the results in a parallel array. The tag system was trying to do this work but wasn't fast enough.
328:- **Type 5 (back-reference)** — not at all. Orblike reimplements this manually in pack code.
329:- **Type 6 (event subscription)** — not at all. Orblike implements this inline with scattered `if self.mods.X` checks.
330:- **Type 8 (spatial index)** — not at all. Orblike builds its own spatial hash.
335:Orblike's current approach:
351:- NOT a complete catalog. I probably missed some edge cases (networked references, save/load references, replay references) that don't show up in Orblike.

1    # Coding Disciplines That Dissolve the Reference Problem
2   
3   The previous design document proposed systems (relation graphs, three-primitive APIs, etc.) that SOLVE the reference management problem at the framework level. This document asks a different question: can we organize the way we write game code so these problems never arise in the first place?
4   
5   The analogy to pre-allocated memory is exact. Game devs don't build sophisticated malloc replacements; they change the pattern so malloc is rare. The problem dissolves rather than being solved.

3   **Status: COMPLETE.** Steps 0–12 are fully implemented and verified against the real engine. Step 13 is partially done (`timer_when` used for game-over detection; the other three rare timer modes deferred as opportunistic). Step 14 (polish / feel-tuning) is deferred to the developer since it requires actually playing the game.

5   **If you're a new instance picking this up**: the arena game is done. Read `arena/main.lua` (~750 lines) to see the canonical v2 coding style in action — it covers every framework module except `image.lua`. If you want to extend it, pick from the "Deferred / open" section near the bottom of this file.

E:\a327ex\.claude\CLAUDE.md:99:Invoker is built on **Anchor 2**. (Was "Orblike" until 2026-05-11 — many `reference/` docs still use the old name; the project itself was renamed when the design pivoted away from orbs.)

125  ## Step 5: Commit Project Repo
126 
127 Identify the project repo(s) worked on this session from your own context — you already know which repos were touched and which files changed. For the common projects:
128 
129 | Project | Root | Stage command |
130 |---|---|---|
131 | Anchor | `E:/a327ex/Anchor` | `git add docs/ framework/ engine/ scripts/ reference/` |
132 | Anchor2 | `E:/a327ex/Anchor2` | `git add framework/ engine/ arena/ reference/ scripts/ docs/ .claude/` |
133 | emoji-ball-battles | `E:/a327ex/emoji-ball-battles` | `git add -A` |
134 | orblike | `E:/a327ex/orblike` | `git add -A` |
135 | thalien-lune | `E:/a327ex/thalien-lune` | `git add -A` |
136 | a327ex-site | `E:/a327ex/a327ex-site` | `git add -A` (this IS one of the web repos — the log file added in Step 4 is staged here automatically) |
137 
138 For a project not listed, infer the root from the files you actually created or modified this session and stage those. If multiple candidate roots look valid, ask the user which files to stage.
139 
140 `cd` into the project root, stage, run `git status` to verify before committing.
141 
142 **IMPORTANT — FULL SUMMARY IN COMMIT:** The commit message MUST include the FULL summary from the log file. Read the summary back from the log file to ensure nothing is missing.
143 
144 **IMPORTANT — COMMIT METHOD:** The summary contains backticks, special characters, and markdown that WILL break heredocs and `git commit -m`. ALWAYS use the file-based method below. NEVER try a heredoc first — it will fail and produce a malformed commit that needs amending.

1    Read Orblike/tags.md and Orblike/interactions.md. For every ability+modifier pair in interactions.md that has an effect (the description is NOT "No effect" and NOT "Not yet implemented"), verify that at least one of the modifier's tags (from tags.md) matches at least one of the ability's tags (from tags.md).
2   
3   Skip modifiers tagged "exempt" — these force-fire abilities regardless of type and don't need tag overlap.
4   
5   Report:
6   1. Any violations (modifier affects ability but no tag overlap)
7   2. A summary count: X violations found out of Y active interactions checked
8   
9   For each violation, show: the ability, the modifier, the ability's tags, and the modifier's tags.

2     ui.lua — UI primitives for Invoker.
3   
4     Pure render functions. The caller owns state (hover, active, focus, drag) and
5     passes it in; primitives never hide internal state. Widget IDs (when needed)
6     are explicit caller-provided strings.

8     Discipline (per the action-vs-rules dichotomy applied to UI):
9       - Data (inventory contents, equipped items, drag-in-progress) lives in
10        retained models elsewhere. Action-based.
11      - Rendering and per-frame interaction (hit-testing, hover, valid-target

258    frame regardless of chord state (empty slots = chrome only). Caller
259   passes ui_layer (no camera attachment) so the row stays pinned to the
260   screen. Typical anchor: (width/2, height - 8) for bottom-center with
261   an 8px margin.
262 
263   Slot geometry is 30w × 36h — between the original 44×52 and the
264   half-size 22×26. The PNG is scaled to fit inside the inner area
265   (slot minus 1px border) with aspect preserved.
266 
267   Layout (36px tall, 94px wide total):
268     [slot 1] 2px [slot 2] 2px [slot 3]
269   centered on center_x; bottom_y is the row's bottom edge.
270 
271   Visual (option B — neutral fill, PNG carries color):
272     - Empty slots: chrome only (ui_panel: slot_fill + panel_border).
273     - Filled slots: chrome + the primitive's sprite scaled-to-fit and
274       centered, tinted by the primitive's color (the PNG art is
275       grayscale-ish; layer_image's color param multiplies in the hue).
276     - Each slot scales by its own spring on insertion — both chrome and
277       icon pulse together via an outer layer_push(scale=spring.main.x).
278 
279   chord may be nil or an empty array; either case draws three empty
280   slots. Coordinates are floored to avoid sub-pixel shimmer.

1    # Invoker — Spell System
2   
3   Live combinatorial spell-casting. Player chords primitives into spells; the same primitives can be recombined moment-to-moment. Replaces the orb/gem/socket system from earlier design iterations.
4   
5   ---
6   
7   ## Cast structure
8   
9   - **3 slots per cast.** A cast may fill 1, 2, or 3 slots.
10  - **Multiset semantics.** Order doesn't matter (Fire+Wind+Earth = Earth+Fire+Wind).
11  - **At least one element required.** Pure-formation casts don't fire.
12  - **Cost = mana.** Spammable. Cost scales with chord complexity (specific values TBD).
13  
14  ## Primitive types
15  
16  - **Elements** — what the magic *is*. Each has a default unmodified behavior ("fantasy") that surfaces when no formation modifies it.
17  - **Formations** — how the magic manifests. Act as rule operators on whatever else is in the cast.
18  
19  ## Compositional rules
20  
21  **Element default.** Each element has an unmodified behavior. Fire's default is unstructured outward expulsion in front of the caster.
22  
23  **Same-element doubling** introduces a new geometric form (not just intensification). Example: Fire+Fire = Fire Pillar (rectangular damage area at target).
24  
25  **Same-element tripling** unlocks a *compound primitive*. The cast both fires the powerful pure-element spell *and* teaches the recipe. Compound primitives can later be found in the world as 1-slot drops that encode multiple primitives' worth of effect, enabling deeper spells inside the 3-slot limit.
26  
27  **Formation operators** (rough tendencies in single-formation casts, not strict laws):
28  
29  | Formation | Tendency |
30  |---|---|

Launching skill: end-session

# End Session Workflow

This skill is invoked from the **same conversation** where the work was done. You already have the full session context in memory — you do NOT need to read the transcript.

## Step 1: Get Session Info

Ask the user for the **session title** (max 30 characters). Examples: "Anchor Phase 10 Part 5", "Physics Arena Setup", "Timer System Fix", "Thalien Lune Design".

**Determine the project yourself from your session context** — you know which repo(s) were worked on, which files were created/modified, and where they live. No need to ask. See Step 5 for the list of known project roots; if the session touched something outside the list, infer the root from the paths you actually edited.

## Step 2: Write Summary

Write the summary from your conversation memory. You have the full session context — no need to read any files.

The summary should be **thorough and detailed**. Each major topic deserves its own section with multiple specific bullet points. Don't compress — expand.

**Purpose:** These summaries serve as searchable records. Future Claude instances will grep through past logs to find how specific topics were handled. The more detail you include, the more useful the summary becomes for finding relevant context later.

Format (this is just an example structure — adapt sections to match what actually happened):

```markdown
# [Title]

## Summary

[1-2 sentence overview of the session's main focus]

**[Topic 1 - e.g., "Spring Module Implementation"]:**
- First specific detail about what was done
- Second detail - include file names, function names
- User correction or feedback (quote if notable)
- Technical decisions and why

**[Topic 2 - e.g., "Camera Research"]:**
- What was researched
- Key findings
- How it influenced implementation

**[Topic 3 - e.g., "Errors and Fixes"]:**
- Specific error message encountered
- Root cause identified
- How it was fixed

[Continue for each major topic...]

---

[Rest of transcript follows]
```

Rules:

- **Be thorough** — If in doubt, include more detail, not less. Each topic should be as detailed as possible while still being a summary.
- **Think searchability** — Future instances will search these logs. Include keywords, function names, error messages that someone might grep for.
- **One section per major topic** — Don't combine unrelated work into one section
- **Chronological order** — Sections should match conversation flow
- **Specific details** — Error messages, file names, function names, parameter values
- **Include user quotes** — When user gave notable feedback, quote it (e.g., "k/d variables are not intuitive at all")
- **Weight planning equally** — Research, proposals, alternatives considered, user feedback on approach are as important as implementation
- **Weight problems solved** — Errors, root causes, fixes, user corrections all matter
- **Technical specifics** — Include formulas, API signatures, parameter changes when relevant

## Step 3: Get User Approval

Show the title and summary to the user. Wait for approval before proceeding. If they have corrections, fix them.

## Step 4: Convert Transcript and Write the Log File

```bash
# Find recent sessions (Claude + Cursor + Codex). Same script lives in Anchor2:
python E:/a327ex/Anchor2/scripts/find-recent-session.py --limit 5
# or: python E:/a327ex/Anchor/scripts/find-recent-session.py --limit 5
```

The script shows sessions sorted by when they ended. The **first result** is the current conversation (since end-session was invoked here). Use it.

Use a lowercase hyphenated slug derived from the title (e.g., "anchor-primitives-hitstop-animation").

Get the end timestamp for the Date frontmatter — this is the wall-clock time when end-session was invoked, NOT the time the JSONL started. Sessions often span multiple days, and the log should be filed under the day the work was wrapped up:

```bash
date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
```

Use this output verbatim. Do not substitute the JSONL start timestamp; the log appears in the sidebar sorted by Date, and a multi-day session with a Date pinned to day 1 will sort below sessions that ended later but started later, hiding the most recent work.

Convert the transcript to markdown:

```bash
python E:/a327ex/Anchor2/scripts/jsonl-to-markdown.py [SESSION_PATH] /tmp/session-log.md
# or: python E:/a327ex/Anchor/scripts/jsonl-to-markdown.py ...
```

The same script **auto-detects** Claude Code JSONL vs Cursor/Composer agent JSONL (`~/.cursor/projects/.../agent-transcripts/...`) vs Codex rollouts (`~/.codex/sessions/...`). For Composer sessions, use `find-recent-session.py` (it merges all sources) and pick the `[cursor]` line for the current chat.

Replace the default header (`# Session YYYY-MM-DD...`) at the top of `/tmp/session-log.md` with the approved title and summary, AND prepend frontmatter. The final file shape:

```markdown
Title: [Title]
Date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

# [Title]

## Summary

[approved summary text from step 2]

---

[transcript content from jsonl-to-markdown script]
```

**Frontmatter is non-negotiable.** Every log file MUST start with `Title:` and `Date:` lines. Without them, the site's sidebar shows the slug as the title and 0 (epoch) as the sort date. The backfill script in `a327ex-site/deploy/backfill_metadata.py` is a safety net, not a substitute — write it correctly the first time.

Then copy the final file to the log destination:

```bash
cp /tmp/session-log.md E:/a327ex/a327ex-site/logs/[slug].md
```

## Step 5: Commit Project Repo

Identify the project repo(s) worked on this session from your own context — you already know which repos were touched and which files changed. For the common projects:

| Project | Root | Stage command |
|---|---|---|
| Anchor | `E:/a327ex/Anchor` | `git add docs/ framework/ engine/ scripts/ reference/` |
| Anchor2 | `E:/a327ex/Anchor2` | `git add framework/ engine/ arena/ reference/ scripts/ docs/ .claude/` |
| emoji-ball-battles | `E:/a327ex/emoji-ball-battles` | `git add -A` |
| invoker | `E:/a327ex/Invoker` | `git add -A` |
| thalien-lune | `E:/a327ex/thalien-lune` | `git add -A` |
| a327ex-site | `E:/a327ex/a327ex-site` | `git add -A` (this IS one of the web repos — the log file added in Step 4 is staged here automatically) |

For a project not listed, infer the root from the files you actually created or modified this session and stage those. If multiple candidate roots look valid, ask the user which files to stage.

`cd` into the project root, stage, run `git status` to verify before committing.

**IMPORTANT — FULL SUMMARY IN COMMIT:** The commit message MUST include the FULL summary from the log file. Read the summary back from the log file to ensure nothing is missing.

**IMPORTANT — COMMIT METHOD:** The summary contains backticks, special characters, and markdown that WILL break heredocs and `git commit -m`. ALWAYS use the file-based method below. NEVER try a heredoc first — it will fail and produce a malformed commit that needs amending.

```bash
# Skip until we hit the line "## Summary", then take everything after the next
# blank line until the --- separator that precedes the transcript.
awk '/^## Summary$/{found=1; next} found && NR>1 && /^---$/{exit} found' \
    E:/a327ex/a327ex-site/logs/[slug].md > /tmp/commit_msg.txt

# Prepend the title (plain text, no #) and append attribution
sed -i "1i [Title]\n" /tmp/commit_msg.txt
printf "\nGenerated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>\n" >> /tmp/commit_msg.txt

git commit -F /tmp/commit_msg.txt
```

## Step 6: Push the Repos

Two pushes — project (to GitHub) and a327ex-site (to the VPS):

```bash
# Project repo to GitHub. Skip this push if the project IS a327ex-site
# (handled by the second push below — don't duplicate).
git push origin main

# a327ex-site to the VPS (post-receive hook restarts the Lua server).
cd E:/a327ex/a327ex-site
git add -A
git commit -m "[Title]"
git push prod main 2>&1 | tail -3
```

**Failure handling:** if either push fails, the other still happens. Local commits stay intact, so the user can re-push manually once they've fixed whatever blocked it. Don't roll back; the committed state on disk is the source of truth.

## Step 7: Confirm

Tell the user:

- Project commit hash + GitHub push result
- a327ex-site commit hash + VPS push result

Format:

```
Logged — "[Title]".
  project (Anchor2):  abc1234  pushed to GitHub
  a327ex-site:        ghi9012  pushed to a327ex.com (post-receive deployed)
```

If a push failed, surface that explicitly with the error.

## Notes

- **Frontmatter is non-negotiable.** Every log file MUST have `Title:` and `Date:` at the top. Enforced at write time in step 4. The backfill script is a safety net, not a substitute.
- **If the project IS `a327ex-site`** (e.g., you spent the session writing the renderer or fixing the theme), there's no separate "project repo to GitHub" push — the a327ex-site push at the end IS the project push. Don't duplicate.
- **Legacy note**: this skill used to also dual-write to `anchor.blot.im/logs/` and `anchor.blot.im/context/`. Post-cutover (May 2026), `anchor.blot.im` is a JS redirect to `a327ex.com` and no longer receives content. Drop those steps if you find any older docs that still reference them.

# Orblike -> Invoker

Orblike -> Invoker


Renamed the practice project from Orblike to Invoker (it's no longer about orbs — built on the Invoker/Magicka chord-cast mechanic), then spent the rest of the session building out the cast HUD substrate: cast slots, primitive slots, key labels, modifier hover, info text, spell catalog, and a Space-key repeat replay.

 # Migrating anchor.blot.im off Blot
 
+> **Historical handoff notes — the migration is done.** This file captured the planned approach BEFORE the migration ran. See `Anchor2/reference/blot_migration_plan.md` for the actual outcome and `a327ex-site/README.md` for the canonical entrypoint to the migrated site. Useful here: the gotchas section ("Things tightly coupled to Blot") and the Blot-specific quirks list. Most "TBD" items in this doc are now resolved — see the migration plan for what.
+
 Handoff notes for the session that moves the website from Blot to a self-hosted VPS, as a stepping stone toward eventually serving everything via `Anchor2/app`.
 
 This document was written at the end of the **Website Redesign** session (logged at `anchor.blot.im/logs/website-redesign.md`). Read that log first if you want the full backstory of why things are the way they are.
