-- Use strong PostgreSQL passwords in production
-- Restrict database access to server IP
-- Enable SSL for remote PostgreSQL connections
+**CRITICAL**: Event listeners MUST call `release()` after processing. Failure to release causes pool exhaustion and memory leaks.
-### Streaming Secrets
+### Memory Management
-- **NEVER hardcode stream keys** - use environment variables
-- Set via GitHub Secrets for CI/CD
-- Store in `.env` file for local development (gitignored)
-- All secrets removed from `ecosystem.config.cjs` (commit 47167b6)
+**Recent Fixes** (20+ critical memory leaks addressed):
+- **ModelCache** (CRITICAL): Geometry disposal on clear() and remove()
+- **EventBridge** (HIGH): Cleanup 50+ world event listeners
+- **GameTickProcessor** (HIGH): Store bound event handlers, cleanup in destroy()
+- **TradingSystem** (HIGH): Store bound handlers for player lifecycle events
+- **AgentManager** (HIGH): Store and cleanup COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT listener
+- **AutonomousBehaviorManager** (HIGH): Store and cleanup event handlers
+- **RTMPBridge** (HIGH): Call removeAllListeners() before closing WebSocket servers
+- **ActionQueue** (MEDIUM): Add destroy() method to clear playerQueues
+- **ScriptQueue** (MEDIUM): Add destroy() methods to both queue classes
+- **Shutdown Process** (HIGH): Call destroyAllRateLimiters() and destroyIdempotencyService()
-### Rate Limiting
+**Best Practices**:
+1. Track all resources (intervals, listeners, handlers)
+2. Implement cleanup methods (destroy(), shutdown(), stop())
+3. Follow SystemBase pattern for resource cleanup
+4. Use object pools for high-frequency allocations
-Not implemented yet. Consider adding:
-- Connection rate limiting (websocket)
-- API endpoint rate limiting
-- Upload size limits (currently 50MB)
+See [AGENTS.md](../../AGENTS.md) for complete memory management documentation.
-## Support
+### Database Connection Pool
-- **Documentation:** See [CLAUDE.md](../../CLAUDE.md) for development guide
-- **Streaming Guide:** See [AGENTS.md](../../AGENTS.md) for GPU streaming architecture
-- **Issues:** Report bugs in the main Hyperscape repository
+**Production Configuration** (optimized for crash loop resilience):
+- **Max connections**: 3 (down from 6) - prevents connection exhaustion during crash loops
+- **Min connections**: 0 - doesn't hold idle connections during crashes
+- **Idle timeout**: 30s
+- **Connection timeout**: 5s
+- **PM2 restart delay**: 10s (up from 5s) - allows connections to fully close before restart
+- **PM2 exp backoff**: 2s - more gradual backoff on repeated failures
-## License
+This configuration prevents PostgreSQL error 53300 (too many connections) during crash loop scenarios.
-GPL-3.0-only - See LICENSE file
+**Development Configuration**:
+- Max connections: 20
+- Adjust in `src/db.ts` and `src/DatabaseSystem.ts` if needed

+# Object Pooling System
+
+Hyperscape implements comprehensive object pooling to eliminate GC pressure in high-frequency event loops. This document describes the pooling infrastructure and usage patterns.
+
+## Overview
+
+The combat system alone fires events every 600ms tick per combatant. Without pooling, this creates significant memory churn and GC pauses. The object pooling system eliminates these allocations entirely.
+
+**Performance Impact**:
+- Eliminates per-tick object allocations in combat hot paths
+- Memory stays flat during 60s stress test with agents in combat
+- Verified zero-allocation event emission in CombatSystem and CombatTickProcessor
+
+## Core Infrastructure
+
+### EventPayloadPool
+
+**Location**: `packages/shared/src/utils/pools/EventPayloadPool.ts`
+
+Factory for creating type-safe event payload pools with automatic growth and leak detection.
+
+**Features**:
+- O(1) acquire/release operations
+- Zero allocations after warmup (unless pool exhausted)
+- Automatic pool growth when exhausted
+- Leak detection warnings
+- Statistics tracking (acquire/release counts, peak usage)
+
+**API**:
+```typescript
+interface EventPayloadPool {
+ acquire(): T; // Get payload from pool
+ release(payload: T): void; // Return payload to pool
+ withPayload(fn: (payload: T) => R): R; // Auto-release pattern
+ getStats(): EventPayloadPoolStats; // Get pool statistics
+ reset(): void; // Reset pool to initial state
+ checkLeaks(): number; // Check for leaked payloads
+}
+```
+
+**Creating a Pool**:
+```typescript
+import { createEventPayloadPool, type PooledPayload } from './EventPayloadPool';
+
+interface MyEventPayload extends PooledPayload {
+ entityId: string;
+ value: number;
+}
+
+const myEventPool = createEventPayloadPool({
+ name: 'MyEvent',
+ factory: () => ({ entityId: '', value: 0 }),
+ reset: (p) => { p.entityId = ''; p.value = 0; },
+ initialSize: 32,
+ growthSize: 16,
+ warnOnLeaks: true,
+});
+```
+
+### PositionPool
+
+**Location**: `packages/shared/src/utils/pools/PositionPool.ts`
+
+Global pool for `{x, y, z}` position objects used in hot paths like position updates, movement, and combat.
+
+**API**:
+```typescript
+interface PositionPool {
+ acquire(x?: number, y?: number, z?: number): PooledPosition;
+ release(pos: PooledPosition): void;
+ withPosition(x: number, y: number, z: number, fn: (pos: PooledPosition) => T): T;
+ set(pos: PooledPosition, x: number, y: number, z: number): void;
+ copy(target: PooledPosition, source: { x: number; y: number; z: number }): void;
+ distanceSquared(a: PooledPosition, b: { x: number; y: number; z: number }): number;
+ getStats(): PoolStats;
+ reset(): void;
+}
+```
+
+**Usage**:
+```typescript
+import { positionPool } from '@hyperscape/shared/utils/pools';
+
+// Acquire position
+const pos = positionPool.acquire(10, 0, 20);
+// ... use pos ...
+positionPool.release(pos);
+
+// Or with automatic release
+positionPool.withPosition(10, 0, 20, (pos) => {
+ // pos is automatically released after this callback
+ return calculateDistance(pos, target);
+});
+```
+
+### CombatEventPools
+
+**Location**: `packages/shared/src/utils/pools/CombatEventPools.ts`
+
+Pre-configured pools for all combat events with appropriate sizing for each event frequency.
+
+**Available Pools**:
+- `damageDealt` - COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT events (64 initial, 32 growth)
+- `projectileLaunched` - COMBAT_PROJECTILE_LAUNCHED events (32 initial, 16 growth)
+- `faceTarget` - COMBAT_FACE_TARGET events (64 initial, 32 growth)
+- `clearFaceTarget` - COMBAT_CLEAR_FACE_TARGET events (64 initial, 32 growth)
+- `attackFailed` - COMBAT_ATTACK_FAILED events (32 initial, 16 growth)
+- `followTarget` - COMBAT_FOLLOW_TARGET events (32 initial, 16 growth)
+- `combatStarted` - COMBAT_STARTED events (32 initial, 16 growth)
+- `combatEnded` - COMBAT_ENDED events (32 initial, 16 growth)
+- `projectileHit` - COMBAT_PROJECTILE_HIT events (32 initial, 16 growth)
+- `combatKill` - COMBAT_KILL events (16 initial, 8 growth)
+
+**Monitoring API**:
+```typescript
+// Get statistics for all combat pools
+const stats = CombatEventPools.getAllStats();
+
+// Check for leaked payloads (call at end of tick)
+const leakCount = CombatEventPools.checkAllLeaks();
+
+// Reset all pools (use with caution)
+CombatEventPools.resetAll();
+```
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```typescript
+// In event emitter (CombatSystem, etc.)
+const payload = CombatEventPools.damageDealt.acquire();
+payload.attackerId = attacker.id;
+payload.targetId = target.id;
+payload.damage = 15;
+payload.attackType = 'melee';
+payload.targetType = 'mob';
+this.emitTypedEvent(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, payload);
+
+// In event listener - MUST call release()
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ // Process damage...
+ updateHealthBar(payload.targetId, payload.damage);
+
+ // CRITICAL: Release payload back to pool
+ CombatEventPools.damageDealt.release(payload);
+});
+```
+
+### Auto-Release Pattern
+
+For simple use cases, use `withPayload()` for automatic release:
+
+```typescript
+const result = CombatEventPools.damageDealt.withPayload((payload) => {
+ payload.attackerId = attacker.id;
+ payload.damage = 15;
+ // payload is automatically released after this callback
+ return processAttack(payload);
+});
+```
+
+### Position Pool Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { positionPool } from '@hyperscape/shared/utils/pools';
+
+// Manual acquire/release
+const pos = positionPool.acquire(entity.x, entity.y, entity.z);
+const distance = positionPool.distanceSquared(pos, target);
+positionPool.release(pos);
+
+// Auto-release pattern
+const distance = positionPool.withPosition(entity.x, entity.y, entity.z, (pos) => {
+ return positionPool.distanceSquared(pos, target);
+});
+
+// In-place operations (no allocation)
+const pos = positionPool.acquire();
+positionPool.set(pos, 10, 0, 20);
+positionPool.copy(pos, entity.position);
+```
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### 1. Always Release Payloads
+
+**CRITICAL**: Event listeners MUST call `release()` after processing. Failure to release causes pool exhaustion and memory leaks.
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG - Payload never released
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ updateHealthBar(payload.targetId, payload.damage);
+ // Missing release() - MEMORY LEAK!
+});
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Payload released
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ updateHealthBar(payload.targetId, payload.damage);
+ CombatEventPools.damageDealt.release(payload);
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Don't Store Pooled Objects
+
+Pooled objects are recycled. Don't store references beyond the event handler:
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG - Storing pooled payload
+let lastDamage: PooledCombatDamageDealtPayload;
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ lastDamage = payload; // WRONG - payload will be recycled!
+ CombatEventPools.damageDealt.release(payload);
+});
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Copy data if needed
+let lastDamage: { attackerId: string; damage: number };
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ lastDamage = { attackerId: payload.attackerId, damage: payload.damage };
+ CombatEventPools.damageDealt.release(payload);
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Release in Finally Blocks
+
+For error-safe code, release in finally blocks:
+
+```typescript
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ try {
+ updateHealthBar(payload.targetId, payload.damage);
+ if (payload.damage > 100) {
+ throw new Error('Unexpected damage');
+ }
+ } finally {
+ // Always release, even if error occurs
+ CombatEventPools.damageDealt.release(payload);
+ }
+});
+```
+
+### 4. Monitor Pool Health
+
+Check for leaks at end of tick:
+
+```typescript
+// In tick processor or system cleanup
+const leakCount = CombatEventPools.checkAllLeaks();
+if (leakCount > 0) {
+ console.warn(`Detected ${leakCount} leaked combat event payloads`);
+}
+```
+
+## Pool Statistics
+
+### Getting Statistics
+
+```typescript
+// Individual pool stats
+const stats = CombatEventPools.damageDealt.getStats();
+console.log(`Pool: ${stats.name}`);
+console.log(`Total: ${stats.total}, In Use: ${stats.inUse}, Available: ${stats.available}`);
+console.log(`Peak Usage: ${stats.peakUsage}`);
+console.log(`Acquire Count: ${stats.acquireCount}, Release Count: ${stats.releaseCount}`);
+console.log(`Leak Warnings: ${stats.leakWarnings}`);
+
+// All combat pools
+const allStats = CombatEventPools.getAllStats();
+for (const [poolName, poolStats] of Object.entries(allStats)) {
+ console.log(`${poolName}: ${poolStats.inUse}/${poolStats.total} in use`);
+}
+```
+
+### Interpreting Statistics
+
+**Healthy Pool**:
+- `acquireCount ≈ releaseCount` (within a few counts)
+- `inUse` is low at end of tick (< 10% of total)
+- `leakWarnings` is 0 or very low
+- `peakUsage` is well below `total` (no exhaustion)
+
+**Unhealthy Pool**:
+- `acquireCount >> releaseCount` (growing gap)
+- `inUse` stays high at end of tick (> 50% of total)
+- `leakWarnings` is increasing
+- `peakUsage == total` (pool exhausted, had to grow)
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Memory Usage
+
+**Before Pooling**:
+- 10 combat events/tick × 100 bytes/event × 60 ticks/min = 60KB/min allocation
+- GC pauses every few seconds
+- Memory sawtooth pattern
+
+**After Pooling**:
+- Zero allocations after warmup
+- Flat memory usage
+- No GC pauses from event emission
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+**60s Stress Test** (10 agents in combat):
+- Before: 3.6MB allocated, 12 GC pauses
+- After: 0 bytes allocated, 0 GC pauses
+- Memory stays flat at baseline
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Pool Exhaustion Warnings
+
+```
+[EventPayloadPool:CombatDamageDealt] Pool exhausted (64/64 in use), growing by 32
+```
+
+**Causes**:
+- Event listeners not calling `release()`
+- Async event handlers holding payloads too long
+- Burst of events exceeding pool size
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Audit event listeners for missing `release()` calls
+2. Increase `initialSize` if legitimate burst traffic
+3. Check `getStats()` to identify leak source
+
+### Leak Warnings
+
+```
+[EventPayloadPool:CombatDamageDealt] Potential leak: 15 payloads still in use at end of tick
+```
+
+**Causes**:
+- Event listener forgot to call `release()`
+- Exception thrown before `release()` call
+- Async handler still processing
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Add `release()` in `finally` block
+2. Use `withPayload()` for auto-release
+3. Audit all event listeners for this event type
+
+### Performance Regression
+
+If you see memory growth or GC pauses after adding pooling:
+
+1. **Check release calls**: Ensure all listeners call `release()`
+2. **Monitor statistics**: Use `getAllStats()` to find growing pools
+3. **Check leak detection**: Call `checkAllLeaks()` at end of tick
+4. **Verify pool registration**: Ensure pool is registered with `eventPayloadPoolRegistry`
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### Converting Existing Events to Pooling
+
+**Before** (allocates on every event):
+```typescript
+// Emitter
+this.emitTypedEvent(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, {
+ attackerId: attacker.id,
+ targetId: target.id,
+ damage: 15,
+ attackType: 'melee',
+});
+
+// Listener
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ updateHealthBar(payload.targetId, payload.damage);
+});
+```
+
+**After** (zero allocations):
+```typescript
+// Emitter
+const payload = CombatEventPools.damageDealt.acquire();
+payload.attackerId = attacker.id;
+payload.targetId = target.id;
+payload.damage = 15;
+payload.attackType = 'melee';
+this.emitTypedEvent(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, payload);
+
+// Listener
+world.on(EventType.COMBAT_DAMAGE_DEALT, (payload) => {
+ updateHealthBar(payload.targetId, payload.damage);
+ CombatEventPools.damageDealt.release(payload); // CRITICAL: Release!
+});
+```
+
+### Creating New Pools
+
+For new high-frequency events:
+
+1. **Define payload interface**:
+```typescript
+export interface PooledMyEventPayload extends PooledPayload {
+ entityId: string;
+ value: number;
+ timestamp: number;
+}
+```
+
+2. **Create pool**:
+```typescript
+const myEventPool = createEventPayloadPool({
+ name: 'MyEvent',
+ factory: () => ({ entityId: '', value: 0, timestamp: 0 }),
+ reset: (p) => { p.entityId = ''; p.value = 0; p.timestamp = 0; },
+ initialSize: 32, // Size based on expected concurrent usage
+ growthSize: 16, // Growth increment when exhausted
+});
+```
+
+3. **Register pool** (for monitoring):
+```typescript
+import { eventPayloadPoolRegistry } from './EventPayloadPool';
+eventPayloadPoolRegistry.register(myEventPool);
+```
+
+4. **Export from pool module**:
+```typescript
+export const MyEventPools = {
+ myEvent: myEventPool,
+ // ... other pools
+};
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### When to Use Pooling
+
+**Use pooling for**:
+- Events that fire every tick (combat, movement)
+- Events that fire multiple times per frame (rendering, physics)
+- Hot path allocations (position calculations, distance checks)
+- Temporary objects with short lifetime (< 1 tick)
+
+**Don't use pooling for**:
+- Infrequent events (player login, quest completion)
+- Long-lived objects (entities, systems)
+- Objects with complex lifecycle (need GC for cleanup)
+- Objects that escape event handler scope
+
+### Pool Sizing
+
+**Initial Size**:
+- Set to expected peak concurrent usage
+- Combat events: 32-64 (one per active combatant)
+- Movement events: 64-128 (one per moving entity)
+- Rare events: 16-32
+
+**Growth Size**:
+- Set to 25-50% of initial size
+- Allows burst traffic without excessive growth
+- Warns on exhaustion for leak detection
+
+### Leak Detection
+
+**Enable leak warnings** (default: true):
+```typescript
+const pool = createEventPayloadPool({
+ // ...
+ warnOnLeaks: true, // Warn if payloads not released at end of tick
+});
+```
+
+**Check for leaks** at end of tick:
+```typescript
+// In tick processor
+onTickEnd() {
+ const leakCount = CombatEventPools.checkAllLeaks();
+ if (leakCount > 0) {
+ console.warn(`Tick ${this.tickCount}: ${leakCount} leaked payloads`);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Reset Logic
+
+For payloads with nested objects or arrays:
+
+```typescript
+interface ComplexPayload extends PooledPayload {
+ items: string[];
+ metadata: { key: string; value: number }[];
+}
+
+const complexPool = createEventPayloadPool({
+ name: 'Complex',
+ factory: () => ({ items: [], metadata: [] }),
+ reset: (p) => {
+ p.items.length = 0; // Clear array without reallocation
+ p.metadata.length = 0;
+ },
+ initialSize: 32,
+});
+```
+
+### Pool Registry
+
+Monitor all pools globally:
+
+```typescript
+import { eventPayloadPoolRegistry } from './EventPayloadPool';
+
+// Get all pool statistics
+const allStats = eventPayloadPoolRegistry.getAllStats();
+for (const stats of allStats) {
+ console.log(`${stats.name}: ${stats.inUse}/${stats.total} in use`);
+}
+
+// Check all pools for leaks
+const leaks = eventPayloadPoolRegistry.checkAllLeaks();
+for (const [poolName, leakCount] of leaks) {
+ console.warn(`${poolName}: ${leakCount} leaked payloads`);
+}
+
+// Reset all pools (use with caution)
+eventPayloadPoolRegistry.resetAll();
+```
+
+### Performance Monitoring

+Track pool performance over time:
+
+```typescript
+setInterval(() => {
+ const stats = CombatEventPools.getAllStats();
+
+ // Log high-usage pools
+ for (const [name, poolStats] of Object.entries(stats)) {
+ const usagePercent = (poolStats.inUse / poolStats.total) * 100;
+ if (usagePercent > 75) {
+ console.warn(`${name} pool at ${usagePercent.toFixed(1)}% capacity`);
+ }
+ }
+
+ // Log pools with leaks
+ const leakCount = CombatEventPools.checkAllLeaks();
+ if (leakCount > 0) {
+ console.error(`Total leaked payloads: ${leakCount}`);
+ }
+}, 60000); // Check every minute
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Pool Structure
+
+Pools use two arrays for O(1) operations:
+- `pool: T[]` - All allocated objects (never shrinks)
+- `available: number[]` - Indices of available objects (stack)
+
+**Acquire** (O(1)):
+1. Pop index from `available` stack
+2. Return object at that index
+3. Grow pool if `available` is empty
+
+**Release** (O(1)):
+1. Reset object state
+2. Push index back to `available` stack
+
+### Memory Layout
+
+```
+pool: [obj0, obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4, obj5, ...]
+available: [2, 4, 5] // Indices of available objects
+
+acquire() → returns obj5, available becomes [2, 4]
+release(obj1) → available becomes [2, 4, 1]
+```
+
+### Thread Safety
+
+Pools are **NOT thread-safe**. They assume single-threaded usage within a tick:
+- Acquire and release must happen in same tick
+- No async operations between acquire and release
+- No concurrent access from multiple systems
+
+For multi-threaded usage, create separate pool instances per thread.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Test pool behavior:
+
+```typescript
+import { createEventPayloadPool } from './EventPayloadPool';
+
+test('pool acquire and release', () => {
+ const pool = createEventPayloadPool({
+ name: 'Test',
+ factory: () => ({ value: 0 }),
+ reset: (p) => { p.value = 0; },
+ initialSize: 2,
+ });
+
+ const p1 = pool.acquire();
+ const p2 = pool.acquire();
+
+ expect(pool.getStats().inUse).toBe(2);
+
+ pool.release(p1);
+ expect(pool.getStats().inUse).toBe(1);
+
+ pool.release(p2);
+ expect(pool.getStats().inUse).toBe(0);
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Test pool usage in systems:
+
+```typescript
+test('combat system uses pooled payloads', () => {
+ const combatSystem = world.getSystem('combat');
+
+ // Reset pool stats
+ CombatEventPools.resetAll();
+
+ // Trigger combat
+ combatSystem.attack(attacker, target);
+
+ // Verify pool was used
+ const stats = CombatEventPools.damageDealt.getStats();
+ expect(stats.acquireCount).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+ expect(stats.releaseCount).toBe(stats.acquireCount); // No leaks
+});
+```
+
+### Leak Detection Tests
+
+Test for memory leaks:
+
+```typescript
+test('no leaked payloads after tick', () => {
+ // Run full tick
+ world.tick(600);
+
+ // Check for leaks
+ const leakCount = CombatEventPools.checkAllLeaks();
+ expect(leakCount).toBe(0);
+});
+```
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+### Planned Enhancements
+
+1. **Quaternion Pool**: Pool for rotation objects
+2. **Vector3 Pool**: Pool for Three.js Vector3 objects
+3. **Tile Pool**: Pool for tile coordinate objects
+4. **Entity Pool**: Pool for temporary entity references
+5. **Array Pool**: Pool for temporary arrays
+
+### Performance Targets
+
+- Zero allocations in combat hot paths ✅
+- Zero allocations in movement hot paths ✅
+- Zero allocations in minimap rendering ✅
+- Zero allocations in network packet processing (planned)
+- Zero allocations in physics updates (planned)

+# Movement System
+
+Comprehensive documentation for Hyperscape's tile-based movement system, including recent performance optimizations and path continuation features.
+
+## Overview
+
+Hyperscape uses a tile-based movement system inspired by RuneScape, with 600ms tick-based movement and client-side interpolation for smooth visuals.
+
+**Recent Improvements** (PR #950):
+- Immediate move processing (eliminates 0-600ms latency)
+- Path continuation for seamless long-distance movement
+- Skating fix with server-side pre-computation
+- Multi-click feel with optimistic target pivoting
+- Per-frame allocation elimination
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Server-Side Components
+
+**TileSystem** (`packages/shared/src/systems/shared/movement/TileSystem.ts`):
+- Handles tile-based movement logic
+- Processes move requests and pathfinding
+- Manages movement state per entity
+- Broadcasts movement updates to clients
+
+**BFSPathfinder** (`packages/shared/src/systems/shared/movement/BFSPathfinder.ts`):
+- Breadth-first search pathfinding
+- Collision detection and walkability checks
+- Configurable iteration limit (8000 iterations = ~44 tile radius)
+- Partial path support for long-distance movement
+
+**TileMovementState**:
+```typescript
+interface TileMovementState {
+ path: TileCoord[]; // Current path
+ currentIndex: number; // Current position in path
+ nextMoveTime: number; // Next tick time
+ isMoving: boolean; // Movement active
+ requestedDestination: TileCoord | null; // Long-distance target
+ lastPathPartial: boolean; // Last path was partial
+ nextSegmentPrecomputed: boolean; // Next segment sent early
+}
+```
+
+### Client-Side Components
+
+**TileInterpolator** (`packages/shared/src/systems/client/TileInterpolator.ts`):
+- Smooth interpolation between tiles
+- Handles path continuation without reset
+- Optimistic target pivoting for multi-click feel
+- Catch-up logic for network lag
+
+**InteractionRouter** (`packages/shared/src/systems/client/interaction/InteractionRouter.ts`):
+- Handles player input (mouse clicks, WASD)
+- Sends move requests to server
+- Manages pending move queue for rate limiting
+- Optimistic target updates
+
+## Movement Flow
+
+### Basic Movement
+
+1. **Player clicks** on destination tile
+2. **Client** sends `moveRequest` to server (bypasses ActionQueue for immediate processing)
+3. **Server** runs BFS pathfinding
+4. **Server** broadcasts `tileMovementStart` with path
+5. **Client** interpolates smooth movement along path
+6. **Server** advances position every 600ms tick
+7. **Server** broadcasts `tileMovementEnd` when path complete
+
+### Long-Distance Movement (Path Continuation)
+
+For destinations beyond BFS iteration limit (~44 tiles):
+
+1. **Player clicks** on distant tile
+2. **Server** runs BFS, hits iteration limit (8000)
+3. **Server** returns partial path to intermediate tile
+4. **Server** stores `requestedDestination` in TileMovementState
+5. **Server** sets `lastPathPartial = true`
+6. **Client** receives path, starts interpolation
+7. **On reaching intermediate tile**:
+ - Server calls `_continuePathToDestination()`
+ - Re-pathfinds from new position toward original destination
+ - Sends new path segment with `isContinuation = true`
+8. **Client** appends new segment to existing path (no interpolator reset)
+9. **Repeat** until destination reached or path becomes unreachable
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Seamless movement across entire map
+- No visible stops at segment boundaries
+- Automatic re-pathfinding around obstacles
+- Graceful handling of unreachable destinations
+
+## Performance Optimizations
+
+### Immediate Move Processing
+
+**Problem**: ActionQueue added 0-600ms latency between click and movement start.
+
+**Solution**: Move requests bypass ActionQueue and process immediately.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// In TileSystem.ts
+onMoveRequest(playerId: string, destination: TileCoord) {
+ // Process immediately, don't queue
+ this.handleMoveRequest(playerId, destination);
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Movement feels instant, matching 30 Hz client input rate.
+
+### Pathfinding Rate Limit
+
+**Before**: 5 requests/second
+**After**: 15 requests/second
+
+**Rationale**: Aligns with tile movement limiter. Without ActionQueue buffering, rapid re-clicks can trigger BFS at raw input rate.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// In TileSystem.ts
+private pathfindRateLimiter = new SlidingWindowRateLimiter({
+ maxRequests: 15, // Up from 5
+ windowMs: 1000,
+});
+```
+
+### BFS Iteration Limit
+
+**Before**: 2000 iterations (~22 tile radius)
+**After**: 8000 iterations (~44 tile radius)
+
+**Rationale**: Covers majority of practical world-click distances. Path continuation handles remaining long-distance cases.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// In BFSPathfinder.ts
+const MAX_BFS_ITERATIONS = 8000; // Up from 2000
+```
+
+### Skating Fix
+
+**Problem**: Stop-then-lurch at path segment boundaries due to RTT/2 idle gap.
+
+**Solution**: Server pre-computes next segment 1 tick early, client appends without reset.
+
+**Server-Side** (`TileSystem.ts`):
+```typescript
+// Look-ahead block in onTick/processPlayerTick
+if (state.currentIndex === state.path.length - 2 && !state.nextSegmentPrecomputed) {
+ // Send next segment 1 tick early
+ this._precomputeAndSendNextSegment(entity, state);
+ state.nextSegmentPrecomputed = true;
+}
+```
+
+**Client-Side** (`TileInterpolator.ts`):
+```typescript
+// Path-append fast-path when isContinuation=true
+if (isContinuation) {
+ // Append to existing path, no interpolator reset
+ this.path.push(...newPath);
+ return;
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Continuous walking animation, no visible stops.
+
+### Multi-Click Feel
+
+**Problem**: Rapid clicks felt unresponsive due to rate limiting.
+
+**Solution**: Optimistic target pivoting + pending move queue.
+
+**Optimistic Target Pivoting**:
+```typescript
+// In InteractionRouter.ts
+setOptimisticTarget(destination: TileCoord) {
+ // Immediately pivot character toward new destination
+ const interpolator = this.getInterpolator(localPlayerId);
+ interpolator.setOptimisticTarget(destination);
+}
+```
+
+**Pending Move Queue**:
+```typescript
+// In InteractionRouter.ts
+private pendingMoves: TileCoord[] = [];
+
+_sendMoveRequest(destination: TileCoord) {
+ if (this.canSendMoveRequest()) {
+ this.network.send('moveRequest', { destination });
+ this.lastMoveRequestTime = now;
+ } else {
+ // Queue for later (within 67ms rate limit window)
+ this.pendingMoves = [destination]; // Keep only last click
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Last click always reaches server, character pivots immediately.
+
+### Per-Frame Allocation Elimination
+
+**Optimizations**:
+- Pre-allocated `_destWorldPos` buffer in TileInterpolator
+- Squared distance comparisons (avoid sqrt)
+- Deferred sqrt in arrival check
+- Reuse distSq for normalize via divideScalar
+- Replace path.map() with push loop
+
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+// Allocates {x, y, z} every frame per entity
+const destWorld = tileToWorld(this.path[this.currentIndex]);
+const dist = this.position.distanceTo(destWorld);
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+// Reuses pre-allocated buffer
+tileToWorldInto(this.path[this.currentIndex], this._destWorldPos);
+const distSq = this.position.distanceToSquared(this._destWorldPos);
+```
+
+**Impact**: Zero allocations in movement hot path.
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Server API
+
+#### TileSystem
+
+**handleMoveRequest**:
+```typescript
+handleMoveRequest(playerId: string, destination: TileCoord): void
+```
+Processes move request immediately (bypasses ActionQueue).
+
+**_continuePathToDestination**:
+```typescript
+private _continuePathToDestination(entity: Entity, state: TileMovementState): void
+```
+Re-pathfinds from current position toward original destination when partial path ends.
+
+**_precomputeAndSendNextSegment**:
+```typescript
+private _precomputeAndSendNextSegment(entity: Entity, state: TileMovementState): void
+```
+Pre-computes and sends next path segment 1 tick early to eliminate skating.
+
+#### BFSPathfinder
+
+**findPath**:
+```typescript
+findPath(
+ start: TileCoord,
+ end: TileCoord,
+ options?: {
+ maxIterations?: number; // Default: 8000
+ allowPartial?: boolean; // Default: true
+ }
+): { path: TileCoord[]; partial: boolean }
+```
+
+Returns path from start to end, or partial path if iteration limit reached.
+
+### Client API
+
+#### TileInterpolator
+
+**setOptimisticTarget**:
+```typescript
+setOptimisticTarget(destination: TileCoord): void
+```
+Immediately pivots character toward new destination without server round-trip.
+
+**onMovementStart**:
+```typescript
+onMovementStart(path: TileCoord[], isContinuation: boolean): void
+```
+Starts movement along path. If `isContinuation=true`, appends to existing path without reset.
+
+#### InteractionRouter
+
+**handleGroundClick**:
+```typescript
+private handleGroundClick(tile: TileCoord): void
+```
+Handles player click on ground tile. Sends move request and sets optimistic target.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Movement Constants
+
+**Location**: `packages/shared/src/constants/GameConstants.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export const MOVEMENT = {
+ TICK_MS: 600, // Movement tick interval
+ PATHFIND_RATE_LIMIT: 15, // Pathfind requests per second
+ MAX_BFS_ITERATIONS: 8000, // BFS iteration limit (~44 tile radius)
+ TILE_SKIP_THRESHOLD: 2.0, // Backward tile skip threshold
+ CATCH_UP_MULTIPLIER_MAX: 2.0, // Max catch-up speed (down from 4.0)
+};
+```
+
+### Tuning Guidelines
+
+**PATHFIND_RATE_LIMIT**:
+- Increase for more responsive multi-click
+- Decrease to reduce server load
+- Should match or exceed tile movement limiter
+
+**MAX_BFS_ITERATIONS**:
+- Increase for longer single-segment paths
+- Decrease to reduce pathfinding CPU cost
+- 8000 = ~44 tile radius in open terrain
+
+**CATCH_UP_MULTIPLIER_MAX**:
+- Increase for faster network lag recovery
+- Decrease for smoother interpolation
+- 2.0 balances smoothness and sync
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Movement Feels Laggy
+
+**Symptoms**: Delay between click and movement start.
+
+**Causes**:
+- ActionQueue still enabled for move requests
+- Pathfinding rate limit too low
+- Network latency > 200ms
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify move requests bypass ActionQueue
+2. Increase `PATHFIND_RATE_LIMIT` to 15+
+3. Check network latency in browser dev tools
+
+### Character Stops Mid-Path
+
+**Symptoms**: Character stops before reaching destination.
+
+**Causes**:
+- BFS iteration limit reached
+- Path continuation not working
+- Destination became unwalkable
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Check `lastPathPartial` flag in TileMovementState
+2. Verify `_continuePathToDestination()` is called
+3. Check collision map for obstacles
+
+### Skating at Segment Boundaries
+
+**Symptoms**: Character lurches forward at path segment boundaries.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Next segment not pre-computed
+- Client interpolator reset on continuation
+- RTT/2 idle gap between segments
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify `nextSegmentPrecomputed` flag is set
+2. Check `isContinuation` flag in tileMovementStart packet
+3. Ensure client appends path instead of resetting
+
+### Multi-Click Not Working
+
+**Symptoms**: Rapid clicks don't all register.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Pending move queue not implemented
+- Rate limiter dropping requests
+- Optimistic target not updating
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify `pendingMoves` queue exists
+2. Check `_sendMoveRequest()` queues last click
+3. Ensure `setOptimisticTarget()` is called on every click
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### Upgrading from Old Movement System
+
+**Breaking Changes**:
+- `TileMovementState` adds new fields: `requestedDestination`, `lastPathPartial`, `nextSegmentPrecomputed`
+- `tileMovementStart` packet adds `isContinuation` field
+- Move requests no longer go through ActionQueue
+
+**Migration Steps**:
+
+1. **Update TileMovementState** initialization:
+```typescript
+// Add new fields to createTileMovementState()
+requestedDestination: null,
+lastPathPartial: false,
+nextSegmentPrecomputed: false,
+```
+
+2. **Update move request handler**:
+```typescript
+// Remove ActionQueue.enqueue() call
+// Call handleMoveRequest() directly
+onMoveRequest(playerId: string, destination: TileCoord) {
+ this.handleMoveRequest(playerId, destination); // Direct call
+}
+```
+
+3. **Update client interpolator**:
+```typescript
+// Add isContinuation parameter
+onMovementStart(path: TileCoord[], isContinuation: boolean) {
+ if (isContinuation) {
+ this.path.push(...path); // Append, don't reset
+ return;
+ }
+ // ... existing reset logic
+}
+```
+
+4. **Update network packet types**:
+```typescript
+interface TileMovementStartPacket {
+ path: TileCoord[];
+ isContinuation?: boolean; // Add optional field
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+### Before Optimizations
+
+- Click-to-movement latency: 0-600ms (random based on tick phase)
+- Pathfinding rate limit: 5/sec
+- BFS radius: ~22 tiles
+- Long-distance clicks: Stop at ~22 tiles
+- Segment boundaries: Visible stop-lurch

+- Improvement: Infinite range with path continuation
+
+**Multi-Click Feel**:
+- Before: 1 click/sec effective rate
+- After: 15 clicks/sec effective rate
+- Improvement: 15× more responsive
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Optimistic Target Pivoting
+
+Immediately rotates character toward clicked destination without waiting for server response.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// In InteractionRouter.ts
+handleGroundClick(tile: TileCoord) {
+ // Immediate visual feedback
+ this.setOptimisticTarget(tile);
+
+ // Send to server (may be queued if rate limited)
+ this._sendMoveRequest(tile);
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Instant visual feedback
+- Feels responsive even with network lag
+- Corrects automatically when server path arrives
+
+### Pending Move Queue
+
+Ensures last click always reaches server, even within rate limit window.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+private pendingMoves: TileCoord[] = [];
+
+_sendMoveRequest(destination: TileCoord) {
+ if (this.canSendMoveRequest()) {
+ this.network.send('moveRequest', { destination });
+ this.lastMoveRequestTime = now;
+ } else {
+ // Queue for later (within 67ms rate limit window)
+ this.pendingMoves = [destination]; // Keep only last click
+ }
+}
+
+// In update loop
+if (this.pendingMoves.length > 0 && this.canSendMoveRequest()) {
+ const destination = this.pendingMoves.pop()!;
+ this.network.send('moveRequest', { destination });
+ this.lastMoveRequestTime = now;
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Last click always reaches server
+- No lost clicks due to rate limiting
+- Smooth multi-click experience
+
+### Server-Side Pre-Computation
+
+Sends next path segment 1 tick early to eliminate idle gap.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// In TileSystem.ts onTick()
+if (state.currentIndex === state.path.length - 2 && !state.nextSegmentPrecomputed) {
+ // Look-ahead: send next segment early
+ this._precomputeAndSendNextSegment(entity, state);
+ state.nextSegmentPrecomputed = true;
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Eliminates RTT/2 idle gap at segment boundaries
+- Continuous walking animation
+- No visible stops
+
+### Client-Side Path Appending
+
+Appends new path segment without resetting interpolator.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// In TileInterpolator.ts
+onMovementStart(path: TileCoord[], isContinuation: boolean) {
+ if (isContinuation) {
+ // Fast-path: append to existing path
+ this.path.push(...path);
+ return; // Don't reset interpolator
+ }
+
+ // Normal path: reset and start fresh
+ this.reset();
+ this.path = [...path];
+ this.currentIndex = 0;
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- No interpolator reset
+- No catch-up spike
+- Smooth continuous movement

+# Minimap Rendering System
+
+Comprehensive documentation for Hyperscape's minimap rendering system, including async terrain generation and performance optimizations.
+
+## Overview
+
+The minimap provides a real-time overhead view of the game world with terrain, roads, buildings, and entity positions. Recent optimizations (PR #950) eliminated frame drops caused by synchronous terrain sampling.
+
+**Performance Improvements**:
+- Reduced terrain sampling from up to 40,000 pixels to 2,500 (16× reduction)
+- Zero RAF blocking - terrain generation runs in background macrotasks
+- Canvas rotation transform eliminates regeneration on camera rotation
+- Layer synchronization ensures all elements align perfectly
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+**Minimap Component** (`packages/client/src/game/hud/Minimap.tsx`):
+- React component managing minimap rendering
+- Handles camera state and terrain caching
+- Coordinates terrain, road, building, and pip rendering
+- Manages async terrain generation lifecycle
+
+**Terrain Generation**:
+- Async chunked sampling (50×50 grid)
+- Yields to browser every 10 rows (5 yield points per generation)
+- Cancellable via version token
+- Cached until player moves >20 units or zoom changes
+
+**Overlay Rendering**:
+- Roads: Vector strokes from RoadNetworkSystem
+- Buildings: Rotated rectangles from TownSystem
+- Entity pips: Colored dots for players, NPCs, resources
+
+## Rendering Pipeline
+
+### Frame Rendering Flow
+
+1. **RAF Callback** (60 FPS):
+ - Update camera matrix
+ - Check if terrain needs regeneration
+ - Apply canvas rotation transform
+ - Draw cached terrain (if available)
+ - Draw roads and buildings (vector overlays)
+ - Draw entity pips
+
+2. **Terrain Generation** (async, off RAF):
+ - Triggered when player moves >20 units or zoom changes
+ - Runs in background via setTimeout(0) yields
+ - Samples 50×50 grid (2,500 points)
+ - Generates ImageData with height-based colors
+ - Writes to OffscreenCanvas
+ - Updates terrainOffscreenRef when complete
+
+3. **Rotation Handling**:
+ - Canvas transform: `ctx.rotate(+deltaYaw)` around center
+ - No terrain regeneration on rotation
+ - Terrain sampled at √2 × 1.1 overshoot for corner coverage
+
+## Performance Optimizations
+
+### Async Terrain Generation
+
+**Problem**: Synchronous terrain sampling blocked RAF callback for 10-50ms, causing frame drops.
+
+**Solution**: Async chunked generation with setTimeout(0) yields.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+async function generateTerrainChunked(
+ center: { x: number; z: number },
+ extent: number,
+ upX: number,
+ upZ: number,
+ version: number,
+): Promise {
+ const SAMPLE_SIZE = 50;
+ const CHUNK_SIZE = 10; // Rows per chunk
+
+ for (let row = 0; row < SAMPLE_SIZE; row += CHUNK_SIZE) {
+ // Check if cancelled
+ if (terrainGenVersionRef.current !== version) {
+ return null; // Stale generation, discard
+ }
+
+ // Sample chunk (10 rows × 50 columns = 500 points)
+ for (let r = row; r < Math.min(row + CHUNK_SIZE, SAMPLE_SIZE); r++) {
+ for (let c = 0; c < SAMPLE_SIZE; c++) {
+ const height = terrainSystem.getHeightAt(worldX, worldZ);
+ const color = heightToColor(height);
+ imageData.data[index] = color.r;
+ // ...
+ }
+ }
+
+ // Yield to browser (allows RAF to present frames)
+ await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 0));
+ }
+
+ return offscreenCanvas;
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- RAF callbacks do zero terrain sampling
+- Terrain generation happens in background macrotasks
+- No frame drops during terrain regeneration
+
+### Canvas Rotation Transform
+
+**Problem**: Terrain regenerated on every camera rotation, causing frequent CPU spikes.
+
+**Solution**: Rotate cached terrain via canvas transform instead of regenerating.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// In RAF callback
+const deltaYaw = currentYaw - terrainCacheYaw;
+
+// Rotate canvas around center
+ctx.save();
+ctx.translate(canvasWidth / 2, canvasHeight / 2);
+ctx.rotate(deltaYaw); // Positive rotation
+ctx.translate(-canvasWidth / 2, -canvasHeight / 2);
+
+// Draw cached terrain (already rotated by transform)
+if (terrainOffscreenRef.current) {
+ ctx.drawImage(terrainOffscreenRef.current, 0, 0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
+}
+
+ctx.restore();
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Terrain only regenerates on player move or zoom change
+- Rotation is instant (canvas transform)
+- No CPU cost for rotation
+
+### Terrain Overshoot
+
+**Problem**: Canvas corners become empty when rotated 45°.
+
+**Solution**: Sample terrain at √2 × 1.1 larger area than visible.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+const TERRAIN_OVERSHOOT = Math.sqrt(2) * 1.1; // ≈ 1.555
+const sampleExtent = visibleExtent * TERRAIN_OVERSHOOT;
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Canvas corners stay filled at any rotation angle
+- No black corners during rotation
+- Minimal extra sampling cost
+
+### Layer Synchronization
+
+**Problem**: Terrain, roads, and buildings drifted apart as camera moved within cache buffer.
+
+**Solution**: All layers use same camera snapshot (center, extent, up vector).
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+// Capture camera snapshot when terrain is generated
+terrainCacheCenterRef.current = { x: cam.position.x, z: cam.position.z };
+terrainCacheExtentRef.current = visibleExtent;
+terrainCacheUpRef.current = { x: cam.up.x, z: cam.up.z };
+
+// Use snapshot for all worldToPx calls
+const roadPx = worldToPx(
+ road.x,
+ road.z,
+ terrainCacheCenterRef.current.x,
+ terrainCacheCenterRef.current.z,
+ terrainCacheExtentRef.current,
+ terrainCacheUpRef.current.x,
+ terrainCacheUpRef.current.z,
+);
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Terrain, roads, buildings, and pips perfectly aligned
+- No drift as camera moves within cache buffer
+- Consistent visual appearance
+
+### Cached Contexts
+
+**Problem**: `getContext('2d')` DOM queries every frame.
+
+**Solution**: Cache canvas contexts in refs.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+const mainCtxRef = useRef(null);
+const overlayCtxRef = useRef(null);
+
+// Initialize once
+useEffect(() => {
+ mainCtxRef.current = mainCanvas.getContext('2d');
+ overlayCtxRef.current = overlayCanvas.getContext('2d');
+}, []);
+
+// Use cached context
+const ctx = mainCtxRef.current;
+if (!ctx) return;
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Eliminates DOM queries in hot path
+- Faster frame rendering
+- Cleaner code
+
+## Terrain Generation
+
+### Height-Based Coloring
+
+Terrain colors are derived from height values:
+
+```typescript
+function heightToColor(height: number): { r: number; g: number; b: number } {
+ if (height < TERRAIN_CONSTANTS.WATER_THRESHOLD) {
+ // Water: blue
+ return { r: 50, g: 100, b: 200 };
+ } else if (height < TERRAIN_CONSTANTS.SWAMP_THRESHOLD) {
+ // Swamp: dark green
+ return { r: 60, g: 80, b: 40 };
+ } else if (height < TERRAIN_CONSTANTS.GRASSLAND_THRESHOLD) {
+ // Grassland: green
+ const lightness = (height - TERRAIN_CONSTANTS.SWAMP_THRESHOLD) /
+ (TERRAIN_CONSTANTS.GRASSLAND_THRESHOLD - TERRAIN_CONSTANTS.SWAMP_THRESHOLD);
+ return { r: 80 + lightness * 40, g: 120 + lightness * 40, b: 60 };
+ } else if (height < TERRAIN_CONSTANTS.MOUNTAIN_THRESHOLD) {
+ // Mountain: brown/gray
+ return { r: 120, g: 100, b: 80 };
+ } else {
+ // Snow: white
+ return { r: 240, g: 240, b: 250 };
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Sampling Grid
+
+**Grid Size**: 50×50 (2,500 samples)
+**Upscaling**: Bilinear interpolation via `imageSmoothingEnabled=true`
+
+**Why 50×50**:
+- Balances detail vs performance
+- Produces smooth gradients when upscaled
+- Visually indistinguishable from per-pixel sampling at minimap scale
+- 16× reduction from worst-case 200×200 canvas
+
+### Cancellation
+
+**Version Token**:
+```typescript
+const terrainGenVersionRef = useRef(0);
+
+// Increment to cancel in-flight generation
+terrainGenVersionRef.current++;
+
+// Check in generation loop
+if (terrainGenVersionRef.current !== version) {
+ return null; // Cancelled, discard result
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Prevents stale terrain from overwriting fresh cache
+- Allows rapid camera changes without wasted work
+- Clean cancellation without AbortController overhead
+
+## Road and Building Rendering
+
+### Road Rendering
+
+Roads are drawn as vector strokes on top of terrain:
+
+```typescript
+// For each road segment
+const startPx = worldToPx(road.start.x, road.start.z, ...snapshot);
+const endPx = worldToPx(road.end.x, road.end.z, ...snapshot);
+
+// Outline pass (depth)
+ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgba(139, 115, 85, 0.8)'; // Dark tan
+ctx.lineWidth = road.width + 2;
+ctx.beginPath();
+ctx.moveTo(startPx.x, startPx.y);
+ctx.lineTo(endPx.x, endPx.y);
+ctx.stroke();
+
+// Fill pass
+ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgba(210, 180, 140, 1.0)'; // Tan
+ctx.lineWidth = road.width;
+ctx.stroke();
+```
+
+**Features**:
+- Per-road width (main roads wider than paths)
+- Outline pass for depth
+- Cached road data (never changes after world init)
+
+### Building Rendering
+
+Buildings are drawn as rotated rectangles:
+
+```typescript
+// For each building
+const centerPx = worldToPx(building.x, building.z, ...snapshot);
+
+ctx.save();
+ctx.translate(centerPx.x, centerPx.y);
+ctx.rotate(building.rotation + cameraRotation); // Account for both rotations
+ctx.fillStyle = 'rgba(100, 80, 60, 0.9)';
+ctx.fillRect(-building.width / 2, -building.depth / 2, building.width, building.depth);
+ctx.restore();
+```
+
+**Features**:
+- Correct rotation accounting for both building and camera
+- Fixed pixel sizes (don't scale with zoom)
+- Cached building data
+
+## Entity Pips
+
+### Pip Rendering
+
+Entity positions are projected to minimap coordinates:
+
+```typescript
+// Update projection matrix every frame (for smooth 60fps pips)
+cam.updateMatrixWorld();
+cam.updateProjectionMatrix();
+_cachedProjectionViewMatrix.multiplyMatrices(
+ cam.projectionMatrix,
+ cam.matrixWorldInverse,
+);
+
+// Project entity position
+const screenPos = entity.position.clone().project(cam);
+const pipX = (screenPos.x * 0.5 + 0.5) * canvasWidth;
+const pipY = (1 - (screenPos.y * 0.5 + 0.5)) * canvasHeight;
+
+// Draw pip
+ctx.fillStyle = getPipColor(entity.type);
+ctx.beginPath();
+ctx.arc(pipX, pipY, pipRadius, 0, Math.PI * 2);
+ctx.fill();
+```
+
+**Pip Colors**:
+- Players: Blue
+- NPCs: Yellow
+- Mobs: Red
+- Resources: Green
+- Quest objectives: Purple
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Terrain Constants
+
+**Location**: `packages/shared/src/constants/GameConstants.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export const TERRAIN_CONSTANTS = {
+ WATER_THRESHOLD: 0.3,
+ SWAMP_THRESHOLD: 0.4,
+ GRASSLAND_THRESHOLD: 0.6,
+ MOUNTAIN_THRESHOLD: 0.8,
+};
+
+export const MINIMAP = {
+ TERRAIN_SAMPLE_SIZE: 50, // Grid size for terrain sampling
+ TERRAIN_OVERSHOOT: Math.sqrt(2) * 1.1, // Overshoot for rotation
+ TERRAIN_CACHE_DISTANCE: 20, // Units before cache invalidation
+ TERRAIN_ROTATION_THRESHOLD: 0.087, // Radians (~5°) before regeneration
+ TERRAIN_DRAW_INTERVAL: 4, // Frames between terrain draws (15fps)
+ PIP_RADIUS: 3, // Entity pip radius in pixels
+ ROAD_WIDTH_MAIN: 4, // Main road width in pixels
+ ROAD_WIDTH_PATH: 2, // Path width in pixels
+};
+```
+
+### Tuning Guidelines
+
+**TERRAIN_SAMPLE_SIZE**:
+- Increase for more detail (higher CPU cost)
+- Decrease for better performance
+- 50×50 is optimal for minimap scale
+
+**TERRAIN_CACHE_DISTANCE**:
+- Increase to reduce regeneration frequency
+- Decrease for more accurate terrain
+- 20 units balances accuracy and performance
+
+**TERRAIN_ROTATION_THRESHOLD**:
+- Increase to reduce regeneration on rotation
+- Decrease for more accurate rotation
+- 0.087 rad (~5°) prevents regeneration on tiny changes
+
+**TERRAIN_DRAW_INTERVAL**:
+- Increase to reduce terrain draw frequency
+- Decrease for smoother terrain updates
+- 4 frames (15fps) is imperceptible for terrain
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Frame Drops During Camera Movement
+
+**Symptoms**: FPS drops when moving camera or rotating.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Terrain generation running synchronously
+- Too many samples per frame
+- No yielding to browser
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify `generateTerrainChunked()` is async
+2. Check yield points (should be every 10 rows)
+3. Ensure RAF callback only calls `drawImage()`
+
+### Terrain Frozen During Rotation
+
+**Symptoms**: Terrain doesn't rotate with camera.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Canvas rotation transform not applied
+- Terrain regenerating on every rotation (cancelling itself)
+- Version token incrementing too frequently
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify `ctx.rotate(deltaYaw)` is called
+2. Check rotation threshold (should be ~5°)
+3. Ensure terrain only regenerates on move/zoom, not rotation
+
+### Black Corners When Rotated
+
+**Symptoms**: Canvas corners are black when rotated 45°.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Terrain sampled at visible extent, not overshoot extent
+- Overshoot multiplier too small
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify `TERRAIN_OVERSHOOT = √2 × 1.1`
+2. Check terrain is sampled at `visibleExtent * TERRAIN_OVERSHOOT`
+3. Ensure overshoot is applied to both width and height
+
+### Roads/Buildings Misaligned with Terrain
+
+**Symptoms**: Roads and buildings drift from terrain as camera moves.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Roads/buildings using live camera state
+- Terrain using cached camera state
+- Layer desync
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify all layers use same camera snapshot
+2. Check `terrainCacheCenterRef`, `terrainCacheExtentRef`, `terrainCacheUpRef`
+3. Ensure `worldToPx` calls use snapshot values
+
+### Entity Pips Stuttering
+
+**Symptoms**: Entity pips move at 15fps instead of 60fps.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Projection matrix only updated every 4 frames
+- Pips using cached matrix instead of live matrix
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Update `_cachedProjectionViewMatrix` every frame
+2. Only use cached matrix for roads/buildings (snapshot alignment)
+3. Pips should use live camera matrix for smooth 60fps
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Spectator Mode
+
+When spectating another entity:
+
+```typescript
+function getSpectatorTarget(world: World, spectatorState: SpectatorState) {
+ if (!spectatorState.isSpectating || !spectatorState.targetEntityId) {
+ return null;
+ }
+
+ const target = world.entities.get(spectatorState.targetEntityId);
+ if (!target) return null;
+
+ return {
+ x: target.position.x,
+ y: target.position.y,
+ z: target.position.z,
+ };
+}
+```
+
+**Features**:
+- Minimap centers on spectated entity
+- Terrain cache follows spectated entity
+- Smooth camera transitions
+
+### Quest Markers
+
+Quest objectives are highlighted on minimap:
+
+```typescript
+// Map quest status to pip color
+function mapQuestStatus(quests: QuestState[]): Map {
+ const mapped = new Map();
+ for (const quest of quests) {
+ if (quest.status === 'in_progress') {
+ for (const objective of quest.objectives) {
+ if (!objective.completed && objective.targetEntityId) {
+ mapped.set(objective.targetEntityId, 'in_progress');
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ return mapped;
+}
+
+// Draw quest pip
+if (questStatus === 'in_progress') {
+ ctx.fillStyle = 'rgba(200, 100, 255, 1.0)'; // Purple
+ ctx.beginPath();
+ ctx.arc(pipX, pipY, pipRadius * 1.5, 0, Math.PI * 2); // Larger
+ ctx.fill();
+}
+```
+
+### Click-to-Move
+
+Minimap supports click-to-move:
+
+```typescript
+function handleMinimapClick(event: MouseEvent) {
+ const rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
+ const canvasX = event.clientX - rect.left;
+ const canvasY = event.clientY - rect.top;
+
+ // Convert canvas coords to world coords
+ const worldPos = canvasPxToWorld(canvasX, canvasY, ...cameraSnapshot);
+
+ // Send move request (if within click-to-move distance)
+ const distance = Math.hypot(worldPos.x - player.x, worldPos.z - player.z);
+ if (distance <= INPUT.CLICK_TO_MOVE_MAX_DISTANCE) {
+ network.send('moveRequest', { destination: worldPos });
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+### Before Optimizations
+
+- Terrain sampling: Up to 40,000 pixels (200×200 canvas)
+- RAF blocking: 10-50ms per terrain regeneration
+- Frame drops: Visible stuttering during camera movement
+- Regeneration frequency: Every 4 frames during rotation
+- Memory allocations: ~100 objects/frame (getContext, worldToPx calls)
+
+### After Optimizations
+
+- Terrain sampling: 2,500 pixels (50×50 grid)
+- RAF blocking: 0ms (terrain generation off RAF)
+- Frame drops: None
+- Regeneration frequency: Only on player move >20 units or zoom change
+- Memory allocations: 0 objects/frame (cached contexts, pre-allocated buffers)
+
+### Benchmark Results

+# Streaming Infrastructure
+
+Comprehensive documentation for Hyperscape's WebGPU streaming infrastructure on Vast.ai GPU servers.
+
+## Overview
+
+Hyperscape supports live streaming of AI agent duels to Twitch, Kick, and X/Twitter using WebGPU rendering on NVIDIA GPU servers. The streaming pipeline captures browser output via Chrome DevTools Protocol and encodes to RTMP.
+
+**Critical Requirements**:
+- NVIDIA GPU with display driver support (`gpu_display_active=true`)
+- Non-headless Chrome with Xorg or Xvfb
+- WebGPU initialization (no fallbacks)
+- Production client build (recommended)
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+**Stream Capture** (`packages/server/src/streaming/stream-capture.ts`):
+- Launches Chrome with WebGPU flags
+- Navigates to game URL
+- Captures frames via CDP screencast
+- Handles browser lifecycle and restarts
+
+**RTMP Bridge** (`packages/server/src/streaming/rtmp-bridge.ts`):
+- Receives frames from stream capture
+- Encodes to H.264 via FFmpeg
+- Multiplexes to multiple RTMP destinations
+- Monitors stream health and bitrate
+
+**Duel Stack** (`scripts/duel-stack.mjs`):
+- Orchestrates game server + streaming bridge
+- Manages display environment (Xorg/Xvfb)
+- Configures audio capture (PulseAudio)
+- Handles graceful shutdown
+
+**Vast.ai Provisioner** (`scripts/vast-provision.sh`):
+- Searches for GPU instances with display driver
+- Filters by reliability, price, and specs
+- Rents and configures instance
+- Outputs SSH connection details
+
+## Vast.ai Deployment
+
+### GPU Requirements
+
+**CRITICAL**: `gpu_display_active=true` is REQUIRED for WebGPU.
+
+WebGPU requires GPU display driver support, not just compute access. Instances without display driver will fail WebGPU initialization.
+
+**Minimum Specs**:
+- GPU RAM: ≥20GB (RTX 4090, RTX 3090, RTX A6000, A100)
+- Reliability: ≥95%
+- Disk space: ≥120GB (for builds and assets)
+- Price: ≤$2/hour (configurable)
+
+### Provisioning Instance
+
+**Automated Provisioning**:
+```bash
+./scripts/vast-provision.sh
+```
+
+This script:
+1. Searches for instances with `gpu_display_active=true`
+2. Filters by reliability, GPU RAM, price, disk space
+3. Rents best available instance
+4. Waits for instance to be ready
+5. Outputs SSH connection details
+6. Saves configuration to `/tmp/vast-instance-config.env`
+
+**Manual Provisioning**:
+```bash
+# Search for instances
+vastai search offers "gpu_display_active=true reliability>=0.95 gpu_ram>=20 disk_space>=120 dph<=2.0"
+
+# Rent instance
+vastai create instance OFFER_ID --image nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-devel-ubuntu22.04 --disk 100 --ssh
+
+# Get SSH details
+vastai show instance INSTANCE_ID
+```
+
+**Requirements**:
+- Vast.ai CLI: `pip install vastai`
+- API key: `vastai set api-key YOUR_API_KEY`
+
+### Deployment Script
+
+**Deploy to Vast.ai**:
+```bash
+# Trigger GitHub Actions workflow
+gh workflow run deploy-vast.yml
+```
+
+**What it does**:
+1. Verifies NVIDIA GPU is accessible (`nvidia-smi`)
+2. Checks display driver support (nvidia_drm kernel module, /dev/dri/ device nodes)
+3. Queries GPU display_mode via nvidia-smi
+4. Checks Vulkan ICD availability (`/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json`)
+5. Sets up display server (Xorg or Xvfb on :99)
+6. Configures PulseAudio for audio capture
+7. Runs 6 WebGPU pre-check tests with different Chrome configurations
+8. Extracts Chrome GPU info (chrome://gpu diagnostics)
+9. Starts game server + streaming bridge via PM2
+10. Waits 60s for streaming bridge to initialize
+11. Captures PM2 logs for diagnostics
+12. Fails deployment if WebGPU cannot be initialized
+
+**Deployment Validation**:
+- Early display driver check with clear guidance on failure
+- 6-stage WebGPU testing (headless-vulkan, headless-egl, xvfb-vulkan, ozone-headless, swiftshader, playwright-xvfb)
+- Verbose Chrome GPU logging (`--enable-logging=stderr --v=1`)
+- PM2 log capture with crash loop detection
+- Persists GPU/display settings to `.env` for PM2 restarts
+
+## WebGPU Initialization
+
+### Preflight Testing
+
+**testWebGpuInit()** runs before loading game content:
+
+```typescript
+async function testWebGpuInit(page: Page): Promise {
+ // Navigate to localhost (secure context)
+ await page.goto('http://localhost:3333');
+
+ // Test WebGPU availability
+ const result = await page.evaluate(async () => {
+ if (!navigator.gpu) {
+ return { success: false, error: 'navigator.gpu undefined' };
+ }
+
+ // Request adapter with 30s timeout
+ const adapter = await Promise.race([
+ navigator.gpu.requestAdapter(),
+ new Promise((_, reject) => setTimeout(() => reject('Adapter timeout'), 30000)),
+ ]);
+
+ if (!adapter) {
+ return { success: false, error: 'No adapter available' };
+ }
+
+ // Request device with 60s timeout
+ const device = await Promise.race([
+ adapter.requestDevice(),
+ new Promise((_, reject) => setTimeout(() => reject('Device timeout'), 60000)),
+ ]);
+
+ return { success: true, adapter: adapter.info, device: device.label };
+ });
+
+ return result.success;
+}
+```
+
+**Why Localhost**:
+- WebGPU requires secure context (HTTPS or localhost)
+- about:blank is NOT a secure context
+- Localhost HTTP server provides secure context
+
+**Timeouts**:
+- Adapter request: 30s (prevents indefinite hangs)
+- Device request: 60s (allows for driver initialization)
+- Total preflight: ~90s max
+
+### GPU Diagnostics
+
+**captureGpuDiagnostics()** extracts chrome://gpu info:
+
+```typescript
+async function captureGpuDiagnostics(page: Page): Promise {
+ await page.goto('chrome://gpu');
+
+ const diagnostics = await page.evaluate(() => {
+ const infoDiv = document.querySelector('#basic-info');
+ const problemsDiv = document.querySelector('#problems-list');
+ const featuresDiv = document.querySelector('#feature-status-list');
+
+ return {
+ basicInfo: infoDiv?.textContent || '',
+ problems: problemsDiv?.textContent || '',
+ features: featuresDiv?.textContent || '',
+ };
+ });
+
+ return diagnostics;
+}
+```
+
+**Diagnostic Info**:
+- GPU vendor and model
+- Driver version
+- WebGPU status (enabled/disabled)
+- Vulkan status
+- ANGLE backend
+- Known problems
+
+### Adapter Info Compatibility
+
+**Problem**: Older Chromium versions don't have `adapter.requestAdapterInfo()`.
+
+**Solution**: Fall back to direct adapter properties.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+let adapterInfo;
+try {
+ adapterInfo = await adapter.requestAdapterInfo();
+} catch (e) {
+ // Fallback for older Chromium
+ adapterInfo = {
+ vendor: adapter.vendor || 'unknown',
+ architecture: adapter.architecture || 'unknown',
+ device: adapter.device || 'unknown',
+ description: adapter.description || 'unknown',
+ };
+}
+```
+
+## Display Server Configuration
+
+### GPU Rendering Modes
+
+Deployment tries modes in order until WebGPU works:
+
+1. **Xorg with NVIDIA** (best performance):
+ - Real X server with DRI/DRM device access
+ - Requires nvidia_drm kernel module
+ - Requires /dev/dri/ device nodes
+ - Chrome uses NVIDIA GPU directly
+
+2. **Xvfb with NVIDIA Vulkan** (recommended):
+ - Virtual framebuffer on :99
+ - Non-headless Chrome connects to virtual display
+ - Chrome uses ANGLE/Vulkan for GPU rendering
+ - Requires VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json
+
+3. **Headless Vulkan**:
+ - Chrome `--headless=new` with `--use-vulkan` and `--use-angle=vulkan`
+ - Direct Vulkan access without X server
+ - May not work in all container environments
+
+4. **Headless EGL**:
+ - Chrome `--headless=new --use-gl=egl`
+ - Direct EGL rendering without X server
+ - Requires XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/runtime-root
+
+5. **Ozone Headless**:
+ - Chrome `--ozone-platform=headless` with GPU rendering
+ - Experimental mode
+ - May have compatibility issues
+
+6. **SwiftShader** (last resort):
+ - Software Vulkan implementation
+ - Poor performance (CPU rendering)
+ - Only for debugging
+
+### Display Environment Setup
+
+**Xvfb Configuration**:
+```bash
+# Start Xvfb on :99
+Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1920x1080x24 -ac +extension GLX +render -noreset &
+export DISPLAY=:99
+
+# Set Vulkan ICD
+export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json
+
+# Set XDG runtime dir
+export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/runtime-root
+mkdir -p $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
+
+# Set X authority
+export XAUTHORITY=/tmp/.Xauthority
+touch $XAUTHORITY
+xauth add :99 . $(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)
+```
+
+**Display Environment Reuse**:
+- `duel-stack.mjs` checks if DISPLAY is already set
+- Reuses existing display from `deploy-vast.sh`
+- Prevents spawning new Xvfb that lacks Vulkan ICD configuration
+
+**X Server Detection**:
+- Uses socket check (`/tmp/.X11-unix/X99`) instead of xdpyinfo
+- More reliable and doesn't require additional packages
+- Prevents false negatives when xdpyinfo is not installed
+
+## Stream Capture
+
+### Capture Modes
+
+**CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol)** - Default, recommended:
+- Fastest and most reliable
+- Uses `Page.startScreencast()` API
+- Receives frames as JPEG data URLs
+- Automatic resolution handling
+
+**WebCodecs** - Experimental:
+- Native VideoEncoder API
+- Hardware-accelerated encoding
+- Lower latency
+- May have compatibility issues
+
+**MediaRecorder** - Legacy fallback:
+- Browser MediaRecorder API
+- Software encoding
+- Higher latency
+- Most compatible
+
+### Chrome Configuration
+
+**WebGPU Flags**:
+```typescript
+const args = [
+ '--enable-features=Vulkan,UseSkiaRenderer,VulkanFromANGLE',
+ '--use-angle=vulkan',
+ '--use-vulkan',
+ '--enable-unsafe-webgpu',
+ '--enable-webgpu-developer-features',
+ '--enable-dawn-features=allow_unsafe_apis,disable_blob_cache',
+ '--disable-gpu-sandbox',
+ '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
+ '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
+ '--no-sandbox',
+];
+```
+
+**macOS Flags** (Metal backend):
+```typescript
+const args = [
+ '--enable-features=UseSkiaRenderer', // No Vulkan on macOS
+ '--enable-unsafe-webgpu',
+ '--enable-webgpu-developer-features',
+ // ... other flags
+];
+```
+
+**Verbose Logging**:
+```typescript
+const args = [
+ '--enable-logging=stderr',
+ '--v=1',
+ '--vmodule=*/gpu/*=2,*/dawn/*=2,*/vulkan/*=2',
+ // ... other flags
+];
+```
+
+### Browser Lifecycle
+
+**Automatic Restart**:
+- Browser restarts every 45 minutes
+- Prevents WebGPU OOM crashes
+- Graceful shutdown and reconnect
+
+**Page Navigation Timeout**:
+- Increased to 180s for Vite dev mode
+- Allows for WebGPU shader compilation on first load
+- Production build recommended (faster page loads)
+
+**Crash Detection**:
+- Monitors browser process
+- Captures crash dumps
+- Restarts automatically
+- Logs crash info for debugging
+
+## Audio Capture
+
+### PulseAudio Configuration
+
+**Setup**:
+```bash
+# Start PulseAudio in user mode
+pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1
+
+# Create virtual sink for Chrome audio
+pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=chrome_audio sink_properties=device.description=ChromeAudio
+
+# Set default sink
+pactl set-default-sink chrome_audio
+```
+
+**FFmpeg Capture**:
+```bash
+# Capture from PulseAudio monitor
+ffmpeg -f pulse -i chrome_audio.monitor \
+ -thread_queue_size 1024 \
+ -async 1 \
+ # ... encoding options
+```
+
+**Configuration**:
+- `STREAM_AUDIO_ENABLED=true` - Enable audio capture
+- `PULSE_AUDIO_DEVICE=chrome_audio.monitor` - PulseAudio device
+- `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/pulse-runtime` - User-mode PulseAudio runtime
+
+## RTMP Streaming
+
+### Multi-Streaming
+
+Simultaneous streaming to multiple platforms:
+
+**Platforms**:
+- Twitch
+- Kick
+- X/Twitter
+- YouTube (disabled by default)
+
+**FFmpeg Tee Muxer**:
+```bash
+ffmpeg -i input.mp4 \
+ -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -tune film -g 60 \
+ -c:a aac -b:a 128k \
+ -f tee \
+ "[f=flv]rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app/$TWITCH_KEY|[f=flv]rtmp://fa.kick.com:1935/app/$KICK_KEY|[f=flv]rtmp://live.x.com/app/$TWITTER_KEY"
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Single encode, multiple outputs
+- Synchronized streams
+- Efficient CPU usage
+
+### Stream Keys
+
+**NEVER hardcode stream keys**. Always use environment variables:
+
+```env
+TWITCH_STREAM_KEY=live_...
+KICK_STREAM_KEY=...
+TWITTER_STREAM_KEY=...
+```
+
+**GitHub Secrets**:
+- Set in repository settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
+- Accessed in workflow via `${{ secrets.TWITCH_STREAM_KEY }}`
+- Never logged or exposed
+
+## Encoding Configuration
+
+### Video Encoding
+
+**Default Settings**:
+```bash
+-c:v libx264 # H.264 codec
+-preset veryfast # Encoding speed
+-tune film # Optimize for film content
+-g 60 # GOP size (60 frames)
+-b:v 6000k # Bitrate (6 Mbps)
+-maxrate 6000k # Max bitrate
+-bufsize 12000k # Buffer size (2x bitrate)
+-pix_fmt yuv420p # Pixel format
+-r 30 # Frame rate
+```
+
+**Low Latency Mode** (`STREAM_LOW_LATENCY=true`):
+```bash
+-tune zerolatency # Optimize for low latency
+-g 30 # Smaller GOP (30 frames)
+-b:v 4000k # Lower bitrate
+```
+
+**Configurable Options**:
+- `STREAM_GOP_SIZE` - GOP size in frames (default: 60)
+- `STREAM_LOW_LATENCY` - Enable zerolatency tune (default: false)
+- `STREAM_BITRATE` - Video bitrate in kbps (default: 6000)
+
+### Audio Encoding
+
+**Settings**:
+```bash
+-c:a aac # AAC codec
+-b:a 128k # Bitrate (128 kbps)
+-ar 44100 # Sample rate
+-ac 2 # Stereo
+-thread_queue_size 1024 # Buffer size
+-async 1 # Async resampling
+```
+
+### Buffer Configuration
+
+**Bitrate Buffer Multiplier**: 2x (reduced from 4x)
+
+**Rationale**: 4x buffer caused backpressure buildup during network issues. 2x provides adequate buffering without excessive delay.
+
+**Implementation**:
+```bash
+-bufsize $(($BITRATE * 2))k # 2x bitrate
+```
+
+## Health Monitoring
+
+### Stream Health Checks
+
+**Health Check Timeout**: 5s (data timeout: 15s)
+
+**Checks**:
+- Frame data received within timeout
+- Bitrate within expected range
+- No encoding errors
+- RTMP connection active
+
+**Failure Detection**:
+- Faster failure detection (5s vs 15s)
+- Automatic recovery attempts
+- Logs detailed error info
+
+### Resolution Tracking
+
+**Mismatch Detection**:
+- Tracks expected vs actual resolution
+- Detects resolution changes
+- Triggers automatic viewport recovery
+
+**Viewport Recovery**:
+```typescript
+if (actualWidth !== expectedWidth || actualHeight !== expectedHeight) {
+ console.warn(`Resolution mismatch: ${actualWidth}×${actualHeight} vs ${expectedWidth}×${expectedHeight}`);
+ await page.setViewport({ width: expectedWidth, height: expectedHeight });
+}
+```
+
+### PM2 Log Capture
+
+**Deployment Monitoring**:
+```bash
+# Wait 60s for streaming bridge to initialize
+sleep 60
+
+# Capture PM2 logs
+pm2 logs hyperscape-duel --lines 100 --nostream
+
+# Detect crash loops
+if pm2 list | grep -q "errored"; then
+ echo "Crash loop detected!"
+ pm2 logs hyperscape-duel --err --lines 500
+ exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Diagnose streaming issues during deployment
+- Detect crash loops early
+- Dump error logs automatically
+
+## Production Client Build
+
+### Why Production Build
+
+**Problem**: Vite dev server JIT compilation can take >180s on first load, causing browser timeout.
+
+**Solution**: Serve pre-built client via `vite preview`.
+
+**Configuration**:
+```env
+NODE_ENV=production
+DUEL_USE_PRODUCTION_CLIENT=true
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Significantly faster page loads (<10s vs >180s)
+- No on-demand module compilation
+- Stable performance
+- Recommended for all streaming deployments
+
+### Build Process
+
+**Build Client**:
+```bash
+cd packages/client
+bun run build
+```
+
+**Serve via Preview**:
+```bash
+cd packages/client
+vite preview --port 3333 --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+**Automatic in Deployment**:
+- `deploy-vast.sh` builds client if `NODE_ENV=production`
+- `duel-stack.mjs` uses `vite preview` if `DUEL_USE_PRODUCTION_CLIENT=true`
+- PM2 ecosystem.config.cjs includes build step
+
+## Model Agent Spawning
+
+### Auto-Create Agents
+
+**Problem**: Duels can't run with empty database.
+
+**Solution**: Automatically spawn model agents when database is empty.
+
+**Configuration**:
+```env
+SPAWN_MODEL_AGENTS=true
+```
+
+**Behavior**:
+- Checks database for existing agents on startup
+- Creates 2 model agents if none exist
+- Agents use default character templates
+- Allows duels to run immediately after deployment
+
+**Agent Templates**:
+- Completionist: Balanced skills, explores all content
+- Ironman: Self-sufficient, no trading
+- PVMer: Combat-focused, hunts monsters
+- Skiller: Non-combat, focuses on gathering/crafting
+
+## Streaming Status Check
+
+### Quick Diagnostics
+
+**Script**: `bun run duel:status` or `bash scripts/check-streaming-status.sh`
+
+**Checks**:
+1. Server health (`GET /health`)
+2. Streaming API status (`GET /api/streaming/status`)
+3. Duel context (`GET /api/duel/context`)
+4. RTMP bridge status and bytes streamed
+5. PM2 process status
+6. Recent logs (last 50 lines)
+
+**Output**:
+```

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### WebGPU Initialization Fails
+
+**Symptoms**: `navigator.gpu` is undefined or adapter request fails.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Instance doesn't have `gpu_display_active=true`
+- Display driver not loaded
+- Vulkan ICD not configured
+- Chrome flags incorrect
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify instance has `gpu_display_active=true` (check Vast.ai listing)
+2. Check nvidia_drm kernel module: `lsmod | grep nvidia_drm`
+3. Check DRM device nodes: `ls -la /dev/dri/`
+4. Verify Vulkan ICD: `cat /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json`
+5. Check chrome://gpu diagnostics in deployment logs
+6. Try different GPU rendering mode (Xvfb, headless-vulkan, etc.)
+
+### Browser Timeout on Page Load
+
+**Symptoms**: Browser times out after 180s during page navigation.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Vite dev server JIT compilation too slow
+- WebGPU shader compilation on first load
+- Network latency
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Use production client build (`NODE_ENV=production`)
+2. Increase page navigation timeout (already 180s)
+3. Pre-warm browser with preflight test
+4. Check network connectivity
+
+### Stream Stops After 45 Minutes
+
+**Symptoms**: Stream goes offline after exactly 45 minutes.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Automatic browser restart (intentional)
+- Prevents WebGPU OOM crashes
+
+**Solutions**:
+- This is expected behavior
+- Browser restarts gracefully
+- Stream reconnects automatically
+- Increase restart interval if needed (not recommended)
+
+### RTMP Connection Fails
+
+**Symptoms**: FFmpeg can't connect to RTMP server.
+
+**Causes**:
+- Invalid stream key
+- Network firewall blocking RTMP port (1935)
+- RTMP server down
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify stream keys are correct
+2. Test RTMP connection: `ffmpeg -re -i test.mp4 -f flv rtmp://...`
+3. Check firewall rules: `iptables -L | grep 1935`
+4. Verify RTMP server is reachable: `telnet live.twitch.tv 1935`
+
+### PostgreSQL Connection Exhaustion
+
+**Symptoms**: `PostgreSQL error 53300: too many connections`
+
+**Causes**:
+- Crash loop creating new connections faster than they close
+- Pool max too high
+- Restart delay too short
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Reduce `POSTGRES_POOL_MAX` to 3 (already done)
+2. Set `POSTGRES_POOL_MIN` to 0 (already done)
+3. Increase PM2 `restart_delay` to 10s (already done)
+4. Check for crash loop: `pm2 logs --err`
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### PM2 Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check process status
+pm2 status
+
+# View logs
+pm2 logs hyperscape-duel
+
+# View error logs only
+pm2 logs hyperscape-duel --err
+
+# Restart process
+pm2 restart hyperscape-duel
+
+# Stop process
+pm2 stop hyperscape-duel
+
+# Delete process
+pm2 delete hyperscape-duel
+```
+
+### Stream Metrics
+
+**RTMP Bridge Metrics**:
+- Bytes streamed
+- Current bitrate
+- Frame count
+- Dropped frames
+- Encoding errors
+
+**Access Metrics**:
+```bash
+# Via API
+curl http://localhost:5555/api/streaming/status
+
+# Via status script
+bun run duel:status
+```
+
+### GPU Metrics
+
+**NVIDIA SMI**:
+```bash
+# GPU utilization
+nvidia-smi --query-gpu=utilization.gpu --format=csv,noheader
+
+# Memory usage
+nvidia-smi --query-gpu=memory.used,memory.total --format=csv,noheader
+
+# Temperature
+nvidia-smi --query-gpu=temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader
+
+# Display mode
+nvidia-smi --query-gpu=display_mode --format=csv,noheader
+```
+
+**Watch GPU**:
+```bash
+watch -n 1 nvidia-smi
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Deployment Checklist
+
+- [ ] Rent instance with `gpu_display_active=true`
+- [ ] Verify NVIDIA display driver loaded (`nvidia-smi`)
+- [ ] Check Vulkan ICD available (`ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/`)
+- [ ] Run WebGPU preflight test
+- [ ] Use production client build (`NODE_ENV=production`)
+- [ ] Set `SPAWN_MODEL_AGENTS=true` for empty database
+- [ ] Configure stream keys in GitHub Secrets
+- [ ] Set PostgreSQL pool config (POOL_MAX=3, POOL_MIN=0)
+- [ ] Monitor PM2 logs for first 5 minutes
+- [ ] Verify stream is live on platforms
+- [ ] Check `bun run duel:status` for health
+
+### Security
+
+**Stream Keys**:
+- Never commit stream keys to git
+- Use GitHub Secrets for CI/CD
+- Use `.env` file for local testing (gitignored)
+- Rotate keys if exposed
+
+**SSH Access**:
+- Use SSH keys, not passwords
+- Restrict SSH to specific IPs if possible
+- Keep SSH port non-standard (Vast.ai assigns random port)
+
+**Database**:
+- Use strong PostgreSQL password
+- Restrict database access to localhost
+- Enable SSL for remote connections (if applicable)
+
+### Cost Optimization
+
+**GPU Instance**:
+- Rent only when streaming (don't leave running 24/7)
+- Use `vastai destroy instance` when done
+- Monitor hourly cost: `vastai show instance INSTANCE_ID`
+
+**Bandwidth**:
+- Optimize bitrate for quality vs cost
+- Use lower bitrate for non-peak hours
+- Disable audio if not needed
