Clip the demote+promote passes in updateVisibility() to an AABB sized to
fov_radius instead of two full-W*H walks per entity. A prev_fov window cache
demotes last tick's promoted rect (not the current one) so a moving entity
leaves no trailing "ghost vision". On a 1000x1000 grid the Phase 5.2 benchmark's
flat ~25-36 ms/entity writeback overhead collapses to single-digit microseconds
(384x-6577x speedup on the cheap algorithms; below timing noise on the rest).
Adversarial verify caught a regression the happy-path test missed: the
documented from_bytes -> assign -> update_visibility() load/resume path left
permanent ghost-VISIBLE cells, because prev_fov only bounds engine-promoted
cells. Fixed with a one-shot perspective_full_demote_pending flag (full demote
only on the tick after an external assignment; per-turn hot path stays
windowed). Documented the engine-owned demote contract on the perspective_map
property.

UIEntity now depends on the grid DATA layer only:
- GridData gains cell_width_px/cell_height_px (mirrored from the grid
texture in UIGrid's 5-arg ctor; texture is write-once) so entity
tile<->pixel math no longer reaches into rendering (getTexture()).
- GridData gains markDirty()/markCompositeDirty(): set the flag on the
UIGrid subobject AND notify owning_view, covering both render paths.
UIGrid disambiguates via 'using UIDrawable::markDirty' so all
pre-existing UIGrid-receiver calls resolve exactly as before.
- The three Python wrappers that still need the full UIGrid (GridPoint
from entity.at(), the _GridData fallback in get_grid, find_path's temp
wrapper) reconstruct it via a single aliasing-downcast helper
(grid_as_uigrid) that documents the never-independently-allocated
GridData invariant; init/set_grid simplify (share grid_data directly).
Removing the casts is deferred to #252.
entity.texture (new, frozen surface +1): thin get/set over the entity's
own UISprite. Entities render with their OWN texture (default_texture
fallback at construction); the grid's texture only determines cell size.
Setter preserves sprite_index; rejects non-Texture (TypeError),
null-data Texture wrappers (ValueError), and deletion.
Adversarial review fixes folded in:
- set_texture/get_texture guard uninitialized Entity wrappers
(RuntimeError), isinstance errors, and null-data Textures.
- PyUIGridViewType tp_dealloc no longer unconditionally severs
GridData::owning_view: gated on last-owner (#251 use_count pattern)
plus owning-view identity. Previously ANY Grid wrapper GC while the
view lived (e.g. scene.children.append(mcrfpy.Grid(...))) silently
broke entity.grid -> Grid identity and data-layer dirty notification.
Tests: tests/regression/issue_313_entity_grid_data_test.py (texture
semantics, grid-cell-size invariance, entity.grid identity, #251 gate
survival, GridPoint outliving teardown, review-fix guards, owning_view
survival) + tests/unit/entity_texture_test.py. API snapshot golden
re-baselined: exactly +1 surface line (Entity.texture) + writability
probe flip. Docs/stubs regenerated. Native + Emscripten builds verified.
Known edges recorded in docs/api-audit-2026-04.md: texture read-back is
a fresh wrapper each get (no Texture __eq__); sprite_index not
re-validated against a new atlas. Multi-view markDirty broadcast and
pure-GridData wrappers remain deferred to #252. Addresses #314.

EntityBehavior no longer holds a direct DijkstraMap reference. A new
PathProvider interface has three concrete implementations:
- DijkstraProvider: steps along a (possibly inverted) DijkstraMap. SEEK
descends a normal map toward roots; FLEE descends an inverted map away
from threats.
- AStarProvider: follows a pre-computed AStarPath step-by-step.
- TargetProvider: takes a single (x, y) target and picks the Chebyshev
neighbor closest to it each turn.
Entity.set_behavior() gains a pathfinder= kwarg accepting any of the above
(DijkstraMap, AStarPath, or (x, y) tuple). The old executeSeek/executeFlee
helpers collapse into a single executeProviderStep() that delegates to the
provider.
EntityBehavior.h forward-declares PathProvider so the header stays light.
EntityBehavior::reset() moves out of line to avoid pulling PathProvider
into the header.
New tests: tests/regression/issue_315_path_provider_test.py covers all three
providers driving SEEK, FLEE via inverted DijkstraMap, mid-run pathfinder
swap, and invalid-argument handling. grid_step_bench baseline refreshed
against the new provider dispatch path.

Per-entity FOV memory moves from std::vector<UIGridPointState> (two-bool
visible/discovered pairs) to a 3-state DiscreteMap (0=UNKNOWN, 1=DISCOVERED,
2=VISIBLE), exposed as entity.perspective_map. The invariant
visible-subset-of-discovered becomes structural (single value per cell), and
the map is a live, serializable, first-class object rather than an implicit
internal array.
Changes:
- New DiscreteMap C++ class with shared ownership; PyDiscreteMapObject now
holds shared_ptr<DiscreteMap>. UIEntity holds the same shared_ptr.
- New mcrfpy.Perspective IntEnum (UNKNOWN/DISCOVERED/VISIBLE), modelled on
PyInputState.
- entity.perspective_map: lazy-allocated on first access with a grid;
setter validates size against grid and raises ValueError on mismatch;
None clears (next access lazy-reallocates fresh).
- updateVisibility() now demotes 2->1 then promotes visible cells to 2.
- entity.at(x, y) returns grid.at(x, y) when VISIBLE, else None.
- Fog-of-war rendering in UIGridView and UIGrid reads the 3-state map.
- Removed: UIEntity::gridstate, ensureGridstate(), entity.gridstate getter,
UIGridPointState struct + PyUIGridPointStateType.
- Obsolete tests deleted (test_gridpointstate_point,
issue_265_gridpointstate_dangle); 4 new tests cover lazy allocation,
identity, serialization round-trip, size validation, and the
visible-subset-of-discovered invariant.

The compute_fov binding parsed its `algorithm` argument as a raw int and
cast it directly to TCOD_fov_algorithm_t. Out-of-range values (e.g. -49
reinterpreted as 4294967247) triggered UBSan's "invalid enum load" deep
in GridData::computeFOV.
PyFOV::from_arg already does the right validation for every other
algorithm entry point: accepts the FOV IntEnum, ints in
[0, NB_FOV_ALGORITHMS), or None (default BASIC); raises ValueError
otherwise. Route the binding through it.

The `outline` and `font_size` property setters (and the matching kwargs
in __init__) passed a raw float straight into SFML's setOutlineThickness
and setCharacterSize. setCharacterSize takes unsigned int, so any
negative or out-of-range float produced undefined behavior — UBSan's
"value outside the representable range" report.
Clamp before the cast. Negative outline is also nonsensical, so it's
clamped to 0 for consistency (not UB, but wrong).

When transferring an entity to a new grid via entity.grid = new_grid,
the entity was removed from the old grid's spatial hash but never
inserted into the new one. This made it invisible to spatial queries
on the destination grid.

GridLayer, UIGridPoint, and GridChunk each stored a raw GridData* that
could dangle if the grid was destroyed while external shared_ptrs
(e.g. Python layer wrappers) still referenced child objects. The
destructor now nulls all parent_grid pointers before cleanup. All
usage sites already had null guards, so this completes the fix.
These were the last three unfixed bugs from the memory safety audit.

Fixes a systemic bug where Python tp_getset property setters bypassed the
render cache dirty flag system (#144). The animation/C++ setProperty() path
had correct dirty propagation, but direct Python property assignments
(e.g. frame.x = 50, caption.text = "Hello") did not invalidate the parent
Frame's render cache when clip_children or cache_subtree was enabled.

Grid.__init__() now auto-creates a GridView that shares the Grid's
data via aliasing shared_ptr. This enables the Grid/GridView split:
- PyUIGridObject gains a `view` member (shared_ptr<UIGridView>)
- Grid.view property exposes the auto-created GridView (read-only)
- Rendering property setters (center_x/y, zoom, camera_rotation, x, y,
w, h) sync changes to the view automatically
- Grid still works as UIDrawable in scenes (no substitution) — backward
compatible with all existing code and subclasses
- GridView.grid returns the original Grid with identity preservation
- Explicit GridViews (created by user) are independent of Grid's own
rendering properties

The Phase 3 fix for #266 removed UIEntity::self which prevented
tp_dealloc from ever running. However, this also allowed Python
subclass wrappers (GameEntity, ZoneExit, etc.) to be GC'd while
the C++ entity lived on in a grid. Later access via grid.entities
returned a base Entity wrapper, losing all subclass methods.
Fix: Add UIEntity::pyobject field that holds a strong reference to
the Python wrapper. Set in init(), cleared when the entity leaves
a grid (die(), set_grid(None), collection removal). This keeps
subclass identity alive while in a grid, but allows proper GC when
the entity is removed. Added releasePyIdentity() helper called at
all grid exit points.
Regression test exercises Liber Noster patterns: subclass hierarchy,
isinstance() checks, combat mixins, tooltip/send methods, GC
survival, die(), pop(), remove(), and stress test with 20 entities.

UIEntity::init() stored self->data->self = (PyObject*)self with
Py_INCREF(self), creating a reference cycle that prevented entities
from ever being freed. The matching Py_DECREF never existed.
Fix: Remove the `self` field from UIEntity entirely. Replace all
read sites (iter next, getitem, get_perspective, entities_in_radius)
with PythonObjectCache lookups using serial_number, which uses weak
references and doesn't prevent garbage collection.
Also adds tp_dealloc to PyUIEntityType to properly clean up the
shared_ptr and weak references when the Python wrapper is freed.

Add ensureGridstate() helper that unconditionally checks gridstate size
against current grid dimensions and resizes if mismatched. Replace all
lazy-init guards (size == 0) with ensureGridstate() calls.
Previously, gridstate was only initialized when empty. When an entity
moved to a differently-sized grid, gridstate kept the old size, causing
heap buffer overflows when updateVisibility() or at() iterated using the
new grid's dimensions.
Also adds spatial_hash.remove() calls in set_grid() before removing
entities from old grids, and replaces PyObject_GetAttrString type lookup
with direct &mcrfpydef::PyUIGridType reference.

Two related bugs where Python garbage collection destroyed callbacks
that were still needed by live C++ objects:
1. **Drawable callbacks (all 8 types)**: tp_dealloc unconditionally called
click_unregister() etc., destroying callbacks even when the C++ object
was still alive in a parent's children vector. Fixed by guarding with
shared_ptr::use_count() <= 1 — only unregister when the Python wrapper
is the last owner.
2. **Timer GC prevention**: Active timers now hold a Py_INCREF'd reference
to their Python wrapper (Timer::py_wrapper), preventing GC while the
timer is registered in the engine. Released on stop(), one-shot fire,
or destruction. mcrfpy.Timer("name", cb, 100) now works without storing
the return value.
Also includes audio synth demo UI fixes: button click handling (don't set
on_click on Caption children), single-column slider layout, improved
Animalese contrast.

- Fix#223: Use `position` instead of `box.getPosition()` for render_sprite
positioning. The box was being set to (0,0) for texture rendering and
never restored, causing frames to render at wrong positions.
- Fix#224: Add disableRenderTexture() method and call it when toggling
clip_children or cache_subtree off. This properly cleans up the texture
and prevents stale rendering.
- Fix#225: Improve dirty propagation in markContentDirty() to propagate
to parent even when already dirty, if the parent was cleared (rendered)
since last propagation. Prevents child changes from being invisible.

Adds a sub-grid system where grids larger than 64x64 cells are automatically
divided into 64x64 chunks, each with its own RenderTexture for incremental
rendering. This significantly improves performance for large grids by:
- Only re-rendering dirty chunks when cells are modified
- Caching rendered chunk textures between frames
- Viewport culling at the chunk level (skip invisible chunks entirely)
Implementation details:
- GridChunk class manages individual 64x64 cell regions with dirty tracking
- ChunkManager organizes chunks and routes cell access appropriately
- UIGrid::at() method transparently routes through chunks for large grids
- UIGrid::render() uses chunk-based blitting for large grids
- Compile-time CHUNK_SIZE (64) and CHUNK_THRESHOLD (64) constants
- Small grids (<= 64x64) continue to use flat storage (no regression)
Benchmark results show ~2x improvement in base layer render time for 100x100
grids (0.45ms -> 0.22ms) due to chunk caching.
Note: Dynamic layers (#147) still use full-grid textures; extending chunk
system to layers is tracked separately as #150.

Implement per-layer dirty tracking and RenderTexture caching for
ColorLayer and TileLayer. Each layer now maintains its own cached
texture and only re-renders when content changes.
Key changes:
- Add dirty flag, cached_texture, and cached_sprite to GridLayer base
- Implement renderToTexture() for both ColorLayer and TileLayer
- Mark layers dirty on: set(), fill(), resize(), texture change
- Viewport changes (center/zoom) just blit cached texture portion
- Fallback to direct rendering if texture creation fails
- Add regression test with performance benchmarks
Expected performance improvement: Static layers render once, then
viewport panning/zooming only requires texture blitting instead of
re-rendering all cells.

Implements ColorLayer and TileLayer classes with z_index ordering:
- ColorLayer: stores RGBA color per cell for overlays, fog of war, etc.
- TileLayer: stores sprite index per cell with optional texture
- z_index < 0: renders below entities
- z_index >= 0: renders above entities
Python API:
- grid.add_layer(type, z_index, texture) - create layer
- grid.remove_layer(layer) - remove layer
- grid.layers - list of layers sorted by z_index
- grid.layer(z_index) - get layer by z_index
- layer.at(x,y) / layer.set(x,y,value) - cell access
- layer.fill(value) - fill entire layer
Layers are allocated separately from UIGridPoint, reducing memory
for grids that don't need all features. Base grid retains walkable/
transparent arrays for TCOD pathfinding.

compute_fov() was iterating through the entire grid to build a Python
list of visible cells, causing O(grid_size) performance instead of
O(radius²). On a 1000×1000 grid this was 15.76ms vs 0.48ms.
The fix returns None instead - users should use is_in_fov() to query
visibility, which is the pattern already used by existing code.
