2024-12-18 - High Velocity UX & Strict Engine Completion

Status: Completed

We have successfully implemented the core strict rules engine features and the high-velocity UX components.

State-Based Actions (SBAs): Implemented robust SBA loop in RulesEngine.ts, utilizing processStateBasedActions() to cyclically check conditions (Lethal Damage, Legend Rule, Aura Validity) and recalculate layers until stability.
Layer System: Implemented Layer 7 (Power/Toughness) calculations, handling Base P/T, Setting Effects, Boosts, and Counters.
Mana Engine: Backend support for manual mana pool management (emptying at end of steps).
Code Cleanup: Resolved critical linting errors and structural issues in RulesEngine.ts (duplicate methods, undefined checks).

Inspector Overlay: Created InspectorOverlay.tsx to visualize detailed card state (P/T modifications, counters, oracle text) with a modern, glassmorphism UI.
Smart Button Advanced: Implemented "Yield" toggle on the Smart Button. Users can long-press (simulated via pointer down) to yield priority until end of turn (or cancel).
Radial Menu: Created a generic RadialMenu.tsx component. Integrated it into the GameView via the Context Menu ("Add Mana...") to allow quick manual mana color selection for dual/utility lands.
Context Menu Integration: Added "Inspect Details" and "Add Mana..." options to the card context menu.

GameView Integration: All new components (InspectorOverlay, SmartButton, RadialMenu) are fully integrated into GameView.ts.
Type Safety: Updated types/game.ts to ensure consistency between client and server (e.g., attachedTo, ptModification properties).

Playtesting: Validate the interaction between strict rules (timing, priority) and the new UX in a live multiplayer environment.
Visual Polish: Refine animations for Inspector and Radial Menu opening.
Complex Card Logic: Expand the engine to support more complex replacement effects and specific card scripts.
