Fold Tier C surface into existing fuzz targets; closes #312

Extends the five existing targets to cover the remaining gaps from #312
without new files:

- property_types     Line/Circle/Arc setters, Scene.children collection ops
                     (index/count/find/insert/slice/pop), module functions
                     find/find_all/bresenham/lock. Benchmark triplet excluded
                     (end_benchmark writes a file per call).
- grid_entity        grid.at / [x,y] / entities_in_radius / center_camera /
                     hovered_cell, and GridPoint named-layer __getattr__/
                     __setattr__.
- pathfinding_behavior  Grid.find_path + full AStarPath (peek/__len__/__bool__/
                     iteration) that path_from didn't reach.
- fov                ColorLayer perspective (apply/update/clear_perspective)
                     and draw_fov.
- maps_procgen       ColorLayer/TileLayer apply_threshold/apply_ranges/
                     apply_gradient from HeightMap sources.

The full instrumented campaign surfaced five new bugs, filed as #321 (HIGH
ColorLayer.draw_fov bad-free), #322 (WangSet.terrain_enum error-pending
abort), #323/#324/#325 (float->int UB in pitch_shift/hsl_shift/Vector). Per
decision, this issue delivers fuzz coverage only; the bugs are tracked
separately.

+# Building McRogueFace from Source
+
+This document describes how to build McRogueFace from a fresh clone.
+
+## Build Options
+
+There are two ways to build McRogueFace:
+
+1. **Quick Build** (recommended): Use pre-built dependency libraries from a `build_deps` archive
+2. **Full Build**: Compile all dependencies from submodules
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### System Dependencies
+
+Install these packages before building:
+
+```bash
+# Debian/Ubuntu
+sudo apt install \
+    build-essential \
+    cmake \
+    git \
+    zlib1g-dev \
+    libx11-dev \
+    libxrandr-dev \
+    libxcursor-dev \
+    libfreetype-dev \
+    libudev-dev \
+    libvorbis-dev \
+    libflac-dev \
+    libgl-dev \
+    libopenal-dev
+```
+
+**Note:** SDL is NOT required - McRogueFace uses libtcod-headless which has no SDL dependency.
+
+---
+
+## Option 1: Quick Build (Using Pre-built Dependencies)
+
+If you have a `build_deps.tar.gz` or `build_deps.zip` archive:
+
+```bash
+# Clone McRogueFace (no submodules needed)
+git clone <repository-url> McRogueFace
+cd McRogueFace
+
+# Extract pre-built dependencies
+tar -xzf /path/to/build_deps.tar.gz
+# Or for zip: unzip /path/to/build_deps.zip
+
+# Build McRogueFace
+mkdir -p build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+# Run
+./mcrogueface
+```
+
+The `build_deps` archive contains:
+- `__lib/` - Pre-built shared libraries (Python, SFML, libtcod-headless)
+- `deps/` - Header symlinks for compilation
+
+**Total build time: ~30 seconds**
+
+---
+
+## Option 2: Full Build (Compiling All Dependencies)
+
+### 1. Clone with Submodules
+
+```bash
+git clone --recursive <repository-url> McRogueFace
+cd McRogueFace
+```
+
+If submodules weren't cloned:
+```bash
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+**Note:** imgui/imgui-sfml submodules may fail - this is fine, they're not used.
+
+### 2. Create Dependency Symlinks
+
+```bash
+cd deps
+ln -sf ../modules/cpython cpython
+ln -sf ../modules/libtcod-headless/src/libtcod libtcod
+ln -sf ../modules/cpython/Include Python
+ln -sf ../modules/SFML/include/SFML SFML
+cd ..
+```
+
+### 3. Build libtcod-headless
+
+libtcod-headless is our SDL-free fork with vendored dependencies:
+
+```bash
+cd modules/libtcod-headless
+mkdir build && cd build
+
+cmake .. \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
+
+make -j$(nproc)
+cd ../../..
+```
+
+That's it! No special flags needed - libtcod-headless defaults to:
+- `LIBTCOD_SDL3=disable` (no SDL dependency)
+- Vendored lodepng, utf8proc, stb
+
+### 4. Build Python 3.12
+
+```bash
+cd modules/cpython
+./configure --enable-shared
+make -j$(nproc)
+cd ../..
+```
+
+### 5. Build SFML 2.6
+
+```bash
+cd modules/SFML
+mkdir build && cd build
+
+cmake .. \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
+
+make -j$(nproc)
+cd ../../..
+```
+
+### 6. Copy Libraries
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p __lib
+
+# Python
+cp modules/cpython/libpython3.12.so* __lib/
+
+# SFML
+cp modules/SFML/build/lib/libsfml-*.so* __lib/
+
+# libtcod-headless
+cp modules/libtcod-headless/build/bin/libtcod.so* __lib/
+
+# Python standard library
+cp -r modules/cpython/Lib __lib/Python
+```
+
+### 7. Build McRogueFace
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+### 8. Run
+
+```bash
+./mcrogueface
+```
+
+---
+
+## Submodule Versions
+
+| Submodule | Version | Notes |
+|-----------|---------|-------|
+| SFML | 2.6.1 | Graphics, audio, windowing |
+| cpython | 3.12.2 | Embedded Python interpreter |
+| libtcod-headless | 2.2.1 | SDL-free fork for FOV, pathfinding |
+
+---
+
+## Creating a build_deps Archive
+
+To create a `build_deps` archive for distribution:
+
+```bash
+cd McRogueFace
+
+# Create archive directory
+mkdir -p build_deps_staging
+
+# Copy libraries
+cp -r __lib build_deps_staging/
+
+# Copy/create deps symlinks as actual directories with only needed headers
+mkdir -p build_deps_staging/deps
+cp -rL deps/libtcod build_deps_staging/deps/  # Follow symlink
+cp -rL deps/Python build_deps_staging/deps/
+cp -rL deps/SFML build_deps_staging/deps/
+cp -r deps/platform build_deps_staging/deps/
+
+# Create archives
+cd build_deps_staging
+tar -czf ../build_deps.tar.gz __lib deps
+zip -r ../build_deps.zip __lib deps
+cd ..
+
+# Cleanup
+rm -rf build_deps_staging
+```
+
+The resulting archive can be distributed alongside releases for users who want to build McRogueFace without compiling dependencies.
+
+**Archive contents:**
+```
+build_deps.tar.gz
+├── __lib/
+│   ├── libpython3.12.so*
+│   ├── libsfml-*.so*
+│   ├── libtcod.so*
+│   └── Python/           # Python standard library
+└── deps/

+    ├── SFML/             # SFML headers
+    └── platform/         # Platform-specific configs
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verify the Build
+
+```bash
+cd build
+
+# Check version
+./mcrogueface --version
+
+# Test headless mode
+./mcrogueface --headless -c "import mcrfpy; print('Success')"
+
+# Verify no SDL dependencies
+ldd mcrogueface | grep -i sdl  # Should output nothing
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### OpenAL not found
+```bash
+sudo apt install libopenal-dev
+```
+
+### FreeType not found
+```bash
+sudo apt install libfreetype-dev
+```
+
+### X11/Xrandr not found
+```bash
+sudo apt install libx11-dev libxrandr-dev
+```
+
+### Python standard library missing
+Ensure `__lib/Python` contains the standard library:
+```bash
+ls __lib/Python/os.py  # Should exist
+```
+
+### libtcod symbols not found
+Ensure libtcod.so is in `__lib/` with correct version:
+```bash
+ls -la __lib/libtcod.so*
+# Should show libtcod.so -> libtcod.so.2 -> libtcod.so.2.2.1
+```
+
+---
+
+## Build Times (approximate)
+
+On a typical 4-core system:
+
+| Component | Time |
+|-----------|------|
+| libtcod-headless | ~30 seconds |
+| Python 3.12 | ~3-5 minutes |
+| SFML 2.6 | ~1 minute |
+| McRogueFace | ~30 seconds |
+| **Full build total** | **~5-7 minutes** |
+| **Quick build (pre-built deps)** | **~30 seconds** |
+
+---
+
+## Runtime Dependencies
+
+The built executable requires these system libraries:
+- `libz.so.1` (zlib)
+- `libopenal.so.1` (OpenAL)
+- `libX11.so.6`, `libXrandr.so.2` (X11)
+- `libfreetype.so.6` (FreeType)
+- `libGL.so.1` (OpenGL)
+
+All other dependencies (Python, SFML, libtcod) are bundled in `lib/`.

-![ Image ]()
-
-**Pre-Alpha Release Demo**: my 7DRL 2025 entry *"Crypt of Sokoban"* - a prototype with buttons, boulders, enemies, and items.
+📖 **[Full Documentation & Tutorials](https://mcrogueface.github.io/)** - Quickstart guide, API reference, and cookbook
 
 ## Quick Start
 
-**Download**: 
+**Download** the [latest release](https://github.com/jmccardle/McRogueFace/releases/latest):
+- **Windows**: `McRogueFace-*-Win.zip`
+- **Linux**: `McRogueFace-*-Linux.tar.bz2`
 
-- The entire McRogueFace visual framework:
-  - **Sprite**: an image file or one sprite from a shared sprite sheet
-  - **Caption**: load a font, display text
-  - **Frame**: A rectangle; put other things on it to move or manage GUIs as modules
-  - **Grid**: A 2D array of tiles with zoom + position control
-  - **Entity**: Lives on a Grid, displays a sprite, and can have a perspective or move along a path
-  - **Animation**: Change any property on any of the above over time
+Extract and run `mcrogueface` (or `mcrogueface.exe` on Windows) to see the demo game.
 
-```bash
-# Clone and build
-git clone <wherever you found this repo>
-cd McRogueFace
-make
+### Your First Game
 
-# Run the example game
-cd build
-./mcrogueface
-```
-
-## Example: Creating a Simple Scene
+Create `scripts/game.py` (or edit the existing one):
 
 ```python
 import mcrfpy
 
-# Create a new scene
-mcrfpy.createScene("intro")
+# Create and activate a scene
+scene = mcrfpy.Scene("game")
+scene.activate()
 
-# Add a text caption
-caption = mcrfpy.Caption((50, 50), "Welcome to McRogueFace!")
-caption.size = 48 
-caption.fill_color = (255, 255, 255)
+# Load a sprite sheet
+texture = mcrfpy.Texture("assets/kenney_tinydungeon.png", 16, 16)
 
-# Add to scene
-mcrfpy.sceneUI("intro").append(caption)
+# Create a tile grid
+grid = mcrfpy.Grid(grid_size=(20, 15), texture=texture, pos=(50, 50), size=(640, 480))
+grid.zoom = 2.0
+scene.children.append(grid)
 
-# Switch to the scene
-mcrfpy.setScene("intro")
+# Add a player entity
+player = mcrfpy.Entity(pos=(10, 7), texture=texture, sprite_index=84)
+grid.entities.append(player)
+
+# Handle keyboard input
+def on_key(key, state):
+    if state != "start":
+        return
+    x, y = int(player.x), int(player.y)
+    if key == "W": y -= 1
+    elif key == "S": y += 1
+    elif key == "A": x -= 1
+    elif key == "D": x += 1
+    player.x, player.y = x, y
+
+scene.on_key = on_key
+```
+
+Run `mcrogueface` and you have a movable character!
+
+### Visual Framework
+
+- **Sprite**: Single image or sprite from a shared sheet
+- **Caption**: Text rendering with fonts
+- **Frame**: Container rectangle for composing UIs
+- **Grid**: 2D tile array with zoom and camera control
+- **Entity**: Grid-based game object with sprite and pathfinding
+- **Animation**: Interpolate any property over time with easing
+
+## Building from Source
+
+For most users, pre-built releases are available. If you need to build from source:
+
+### Quick Build (with pre-built dependencies)
+
+Download `build_deps.tar.gz` from the releases page, then:
+
+```bash
+git clone <repository-url> McRogueFace
+cd McRogueFace
+tar -xzf /path/to/build_deps.tar.gz
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+### Full Build (compiling all dependencies)
+
+```bash
+git clone --recursive <repository-url> McRogueFace
+cd McRogueFace
+# See BUILD_FROM_SOURCE.md for complete instructions
+```
+
+**[BUILD_FROM_SOURCE.md](BUILD_FROM_SOURCE.md)** - Complete build guide including:
+- System dependency installation
+- Compiling SFML, Python, and libtcod-headless from source

+
+# Create a scene
+scene = mcrfpy.Scene("menu")
+
+# Add a background frame
+bg = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(0, 0), size=(1024, 768),
+                  fill_color=mcrfpy.Color(20, 20, 40))
+scene.children.append(bg)
+
+# Add a title
+title = mcrfpy.Caption(pos=(312, 100), text="My Roguelike",
+                       fill_color=mcrfpy.Color(255, 255, 100))
+title.font_size = 48
+scene.children.append(title)
+
+# Create a button
+button = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(362, 300), size=(300, 80),
+                      fill_color=mcrfpy.Color(50, 150, 50))
+button_text = mcrfpy.Caption(pos=(90, 25), text="Start Game")
+button.children.append(button_text)
+
+def on_click(x, y, btn):
+    print("Game starting!")

+# McRogueFace Emscripten & Renderer Abstraction Research
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-30
+**Branch**: `emscripten-mcrogueface`
+**Related Issues**: #157 (True Headless), #158 (Emscripten/WASM)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document analyzes the technical requirements for:
+1. **SFML 2.6 → 3.0 migration** (modernization)
+2. **Emscripten/WebAssembly compilation** (browser deployment)
+
+Both goals share a common prerequisite: **renderer abstraction**. The codebase already has a partial abstraction via `sf::RenderTarget*` pointer, but SFML types are pervasive (1276 occurrences across 78 files).
+
+**Key Insight**: This is a **build-time configuration**, not runtime switching. The standard McRogueFace binary remains a dynamic environment; Emscripten builds bundle assets and scripts at compile time.
+
+---
+
+## Current Architecture Analysis
+
+### Existing Abstraction Strengths
+
+1. **RenderTarget Pointer Pattern** (`GameEngine.h:156`)
+   ```cpp
+   sf::RenderTarget* render_target;
+   // Points to either window.get() or headless_renderer->getRenderTarget()
+   ```
+   This already decouples rendering logic from the specific backend.
+
+2. **HeadlessRenderer** (`src/HeadlessRenderer.h`)
+   - Uses `sf::RenderTexture` internally
+   - Provides unified interface: `getRenderTarget()`, `display()`, `saveScreenshot()`
+   - Demonstrates the pattern for additional backends
+
+3. **UIDrawable Hierarchy**
+   - Virtual `render(sf::Vector2f, sf::RenderTarget&)` method
+   - 7 drawable types: Frame, Caption, Sprite, Entity, Grid, Line, Circle, Arc
+   - Each manages its own SFML primitives internally
+
+4. **Asset Wrappers**
+   - `PyTexture`, `PyFont`, `PyShader` wrap SFML types
+   - Python reference counting integrated
+   - Single point of change for asset loading APIs
+
+### Current SFML Coupling Points
+
+| Area | Count | Difficulty | Notes |
+|------|-------|------------|-------|
+| `sf::Vector2f` | ~200+ | Medium | Used everywhere for positions, sizes |
+| `sf::Color` | ~100+ | Easy | Simple 4-byte struct replacement |
+| `sf::FloatRect` | ~50+ | Medium | Bounds, intersection testing |
+| `sf::RenderTexture` | ~20 | Hard | Shader effects, caching |
+| `sf::Sprite/Text` | ~30 | Hard | Core rendering primitives |
+| `sf::Event` | ~15 | Medium | Input system coupling |
+| `sf::Keyboard/Mouse` | ~50+ | Easy | Enum mappings |
+
+Total: **1276 occurrences across 78 files**

+
+## SFML 3.0 Migration Analysis
+
+### Breaking Changes Requiring Code Updates
+
+#### 1. Vector Parameters (High Impact)
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.6
+setPosition(10, 20);
+sf::VideoMode(1024, 768, 32);
+sf::FloatRect(x, y, w, h);
+
+// SFML 3.0
+setPosition({10, 20});
+sf::VideoMode({1024, 768}, 32);
+sf::FloatRect({x, y}, {w, h});
+```
+
+**Strategy**: Regex-based search/replace with manual verification.
+
+#### 2. Rect Member Changes (Medium Impact)
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.6
+rect.left, rect.top, rect.width, rect.height
+rect.getPosition(), rect.getSize()
+
+// SFML 3.0
+rect.position.x, rect.position.y, rect.size.x, rect.size.y
+rect.position, rect.size  // direct access
+rect.findIntersection() -> std::optional<Rect<T>>
+```
+
+#### 3. Resource Constructors (Low Impact)
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.6
+sf::Sound sound;  // default constructible
+sound.setBuffer(buffer);
+
+// SFML 3.0
+sf::Sound sound(buffer);  // requires buffer at construction
+```
+
+#### 4. Keyboard/Mouse Enum Scoping (Medium Impact)
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.6
+sf::Keyboard::A
+sf::Mouse::Left
+
+// SFML 3.0
+sf::Keyboard::Key::A
+sf::Mouse::Button::Left
+```
+
+#### 5. Event Handling (Medium Impact)
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.6
+sf::Event event;
+while (window.pollEvent(event)) {
+    if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed) ...
+}
+
+// SFML 3.0
+while (auto event = window.pollEvent()) {
+    if (event->is<sf::Event::Closed>()) ...
+}
+```
+
+#### 6. CMake Target Changes
+```cmake
+# SFML 2.6
+find_package(SFML 2 REQUIRED COMPONENTS graphics audio)
+target_link_libraries(app sfml-graphics sfml-audio)
+
+# SFML 3.0
+find_package(SFML 3 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Graphics Audio)
+target_link_libraries(app SFML::Graphics SFML::Audio)
+```
+
+### Migration Effort Estimate
+
+| Phase | Files | Changes | Effort |
+|-------|-------|---------|--------|
+| CMakeLists.txt | 1 | Target names | 1 hour |
+| Vector parameters | 30+ | ~200 calls | 4-8 hours |
+| Rect refactoring | 20+ | ~50 usages | 2-4 hours |
+| Event handling | 5 | ~15 sites | 2 hours |
+| Keyboard/Mouse | 10 | ~50 enums | 2 hours |
+| Resource constructors | 10 | ~30 sites | 2 hours |
+| **Total** | - | - | **~15-25 hours** |

+
+## Emscripten/VRSFML Analysis
+
+### Why VRSFML Over Waiting for SFML 4.x?
+
+1. **Available Now**: VRSFML is working today with browser demos
+2. **Modern OpenGL**: Removes legacy calls, targets OpenGL ES 3.0+ (WebGL 2)
+3. **SFML_GAME_LOOP Macro**: Handles blocking vs callback loop abstraction
+4. **Performance**: 500k sprites @ 60FPS vs 3 FPS upstream (batching)
+5. **SFML 4.x Timeline**: Unknown, potentially years away
+
+### VRSFML API Differences from SFML
+
+| Feature | SFML 2.6/3.0 | VRSFML |
+|---------|--------------|--------|
+| Default constructors | Allowed | Not allowed for resources |
+| Texture ownership | Pointer in Sprite | Passed at draw time |
+| Context management | Hidden global | Explicit `GraphicsContext` |
+| Drawable base class | Polymorphic | Removed |
+| Loading methods | `loadFromFile()` returns bool | Returns `std::optional` |
+| Main loop | `while(running)` | `SFML_GAME_LOOP { }` |
+
+### Main Loop Refactoring
+
+Current blocking loop:
+```cpp
+void GameEngine::run() {
+    while (running) {
+        processEvents();
+        update();
+        render();
+        display();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Emscripten-compatible pattern:
+```cpp
+// Option A: VRSFML macro
+SFML_GAME_LOOP {
+    processEvents();
+    update();
+    render();
+    display();
+}
+
+// Option B: Manual Emscripten integration
+#ifdef __EMSCRIPTEN__
+void mainLoopCallback() {
+    if (!game.running) {
+        emscripten_cancel_main_loop();
+        return;
+    }
+    game.doFrame();
+}
+emscripten_set_main_loop(mainLoopCallback, 0, 1);
+#else
+while (running) { doFrame(); }
+#endif
+```
+
+**Recommendation**: Use preprocessor-based approach with `doFrame()` extraction for cleaner separation.
+
+---
+
+## Build-Time Configuration Strategy
+
+### Normal Build (Desktop)
+- Dynamic loading of assets from `assets/` directory
+- Python scripts loaded from `scripts/` directory at runtime
+- Full McRogueFace environment with dynamic game loading
+
+### Emscripten Build (Web)
+- Assets bundled via `--preload-file assets`
+- Scripts bundled via `--preload-file scripts`
+- Virtual filesystem (MEMFS/IDBFS)
+- Optional: Script linting with Pyodide before bundling
+- Single-purpose deployment (one game per build)
+
+### CMake Configuration
+```cmake
+option(MCRF_BUILD_EMSCRIPTEN "Build for Emscripten/WebAssembly" OFF)
+
+if(MCRF_BUILD_EMSCRIPTEN)
+    set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/toolchains/emscripten.cmake)
+    add_definitions(-DMCRF_EMSCRIPTEN)
+
+    # Bundle assets
+    set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} \
+        --preload-file ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets@/assets \
+        --preload-file ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/scripts@/scripts")
+endif()
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phased Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 0: Preparation (This PR)
+- [ ] Create `docs/EMSCRIPTEN_RESEARCH.md` (this document)
+- [ ] Update Gitea issues #157, #158 with findings
+- [ ] Identify specific files requiring changes
+- [ ] Create test matrix for rendering features
+
+### Phase 1: Type Abstraction Layer
+**Goal**: Isolate SFML types behind McRogueFace wrappers
+
+```cpp
+// src/types/McrfTypes.h
+namespace mcrf {
+    using Vector2f = sf::Vector2f;  // Alias initially, replace later
+    using Color = sf::Color;
+    using FloatRect = sf::FloatRect;
+}
+```
+
+Changes:
+- [ ] Create `src/types/` directory with wrapper types
+- [ ] Gradually replace `sf::` with `mcrf::` namespace
+- [ ] Update Common.h to provide both namespaces during transition
+
+### Phase 2: Main Loop Extraction
+**Goal**: Make game loop callback-compatible
+
+- [ ] Extract `GameEngine::doFrame()` from `run()`
+- [ ] Add `#ifdef __EMSCRIPTEN__` conditional in `run()`
+- [ ] Test that desktop behavior is unchanged
+
+### Phase 3: Render Backend Interface
+**Goal**: Abstract RenderTarget operations
+
+```cpp
+class RenderBackend {
+public:
+    virtual ~RenderBackend() = default;
+    virtual void clear(const Color& color) = 0;
+    virtual void draw(const Sprite& sprite) = 0;
+    virtual void draw(const Text& text) = 0;
+    virtual void display() = 0;
+    virtual bool isOpen() const = 0;
+    virtual Vector2u getSize() const = 0;
+};
+
+class SFMLBackend : public RenderBackend { ... };
+class VRSFMLBackend : public RenderBackend { ... };  // Future
+```
+
+### Phase 4: SFML 3.0 Migration
+**Goal**: Update to SFML 3.0 API
+
+- [ ] Update CMakeLists.txt targets
+- [ ] Fix vector parameter calls
+- [ ] Fix rect member access
+- [ ] Fix event handling
+- [ ] Fix keyboard/mouse enums
+- [ ] Test thoroughly
+
+### Phase 5: VRSFML Integration (Experimental)
+**Goal**: Add VRSFML as alternative backend
+
+- [ ] Add VRSFML as submodule/dependency
+- [ ] Implement VRSFMLBackend
+- [ ] Add Emscripten CMake configuration
+- [ ] Test in browser
+
+### Phase 6: Python-in-WASM
+**Goal**: Get Python scripting working in browser
+
+**High Risk** - This is the major unknown:
+- [ ] Build CPython for Emscripten
+- [ ] Test `McRFPy_API` binding compatibility
+- [ ] Evaluate Pyodide vs raw CPython
+- [ ] Handle filesystem virtualization
+- [ ] Test threading limitations
+

+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-------------|--------|------------|
+| SFML 3.0 breaks unexpected code | Medium | Medium | Comprehensive test suite |
+| VRSFML API too different | Low | High | Can fork/patch VRSFML |
+| Python-in-WASM fails | Medium | Critical | Evaluate Pyodide early |
+| Performance regression | Low | Medium | Benchmark before/after |
+| Binary size too large | Medium | Medium | Lazy loading, stdlib trimming |

+## Appendix B: Recommended First Steps
+
+### Immediate (Non-Breaking Changes)
+
+1. **Extract `GameEngine::doFrame()`**
+   - Move loop body to separate method
+   - No API changes, just internal refactoring
+   - Enables future Emscripten callback integration
+
+2. **Create type aliases in Common.h**
+   ```cpp
+   namespace mcrf {
+       using Vector2f = sf::Vector2f;
+       using Vector2i = sf::Vector2i;
+       using Color = sf::Color;
+       using FloatRect = sf::FloatRect;
+   }
+   ```
+   - Allows gradual migration from `sf::` to `mcrf::`
+   - No functional changes
+
+3. **Document current render path**
+   - Add comments to key rendering functions
+   - Identify all `target.draw()` call sites
+   - Create rendering flow diagram
+
+### Short-Term (Preparation for SFML 3.0)
+
+1. **Audit vector parameter calls**
+   - Find all `setPosition(x, y)` style calls
+   - Prepare regex patterns for migration
+
+2. **Audit rect member access**
+   - Find all `.left`, `.top`, `.width`, `.height` uses
+   - Prepare for `.position.x`, `.size.x` style
+
+3. **Test suite expansion**
+   - Add rendering validation tests
+   - Screenshot comparison tests
+   - Animation correctness tests
+
+---
+
+## Appendix C: libtcod Architecture Analysis
+
+**Key Finding**: libtcod uses a much simpler abstraction pattern than initially proposed.
+
+### libtcod's Context Vtable Pattern
+
+libtcod doesn't wrap every SDL type. Instead, it abstracts at the **context level** using a C-style vtable:
+
+```c
+struct TCOD_Context {
+    int type;
+    void* contextdata_;  // Backend-specific data (opaque pointer)
+
+    // Function pointers - the "vtable"
+    void (*c_destructor_)(struct TCOD_Context* self);
+    TCOD_Error (*c_present_)(struct TCOD_Context* self,
+                             const TCOD_Console* console,
+                             const TCOD_ViewportOptions* viewport);
+    void (*c_pixel_to_tile_)(struct TCOD_Context* self, double* x, double* y);
+    TCOD_Error (*c_save_screenshot_)(struct TCOD_Context* self, const char* filename);
+    struct SDL_Window* (*c_get_sdl_window_)(struct TCOD_Context* self);
+    TCOD_Error (*c_set_tileset_)(struct TCOD_Context* self, TCOD_Tileset* tileset);
+    TCOD_Error (*c_screen_capture_)(struct TCOD_Context* self, ...);
+    // ... more operations
+};
+```
+
+### How Backends Implement It
+
+Each renderer fills in the function pointers:
+
+```c
+// In renderer_sdl2.c
+context->c_destructor_ = sdl2_destructor;
+context->c_present_ = sdl2_present;
+context->c_get_sdl_window_ = sdl2_get_window;
+// ...
+
+// In renderer_xterm.c
+context->c_destructor_ = xterm_destructor;
+context->c_present_ = xterm_present;
+// ...
+```
+
+### Conditional Compilation with NO_SDL
+
+libtcod uses simple preprocessor guards:
+
+```c
+// In CMakeLists.txt
+if(LIBTCOD_SDL3)
+    target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC SDL3::SDL3)
+else()
+    target_compile_definitions(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC NO_SDL)
+endif()
+
+// In source files
+#ifndef NO_SDL
+#include <SDL3/SDL.h>
+// ... SDL-dependent code ...
+#endif
+```
+
+**47 files** use this pattern. When building headless, SDL code is simply excluded.
+
+### Why This Pattern Works
+
+1. **Core functionality is SDL-independent**: Console manipulation, pathfinding, FOV, noise, BSP, etc. don't need SDL
+2. **Only rendering needs abstraction**: The `TCOD_Context` is the single point of abstraction
+3. **Minimal API surface**: Just ~10 function pointers instead of wrapping every primitive
+4. **Backend-specific data is opaque**: `contextdata_` holds renderer-specific state
+
+### Implications for McRogueFace
+
+**libtcod's approach suggests we should NOT try to abstract every `sf::` type.**
+
+Instead, consider:
+
+1. **Keep SFML types internally** - `sf::Vector2f`, `sf::Color`, `sf::FloatRect` are fine
+2. **Abstract at the RenderContext level** - One vtable for window/rendering operations
+3. **Use `#ifndef NO_SFML` guards** - Compile-time backend selection
+4. **Create alternative backend for Emscripten** - WebGL + canvas implementation
+
+### Proposed McRogueFace Context Pattern
+
+```cpp
+struct McRF_RenderContext {
+    void* backend_data;  // SFML or WebGL specific data
+
+    // Function pointers
+    void (*destroy)(McRF_RenderContext* self);
+    void (*clear)(McRF_RenderContext* self, uint32_t color);
+    void (*present)(McRF_RenderContext* self);
+    void (*draw_sprite)(McRF_RenderContext* self, const Sprite* sprite);
+    void (*draw_text)(McRF_RenderContext* self, const Text* text);
+    void (*draw_rect)(McRF_RenderContext* self, const Rect* rect);
+    bool (*poll_event)(McRF_RenderContext* self, Event* event);
+    void (*screenshot)(McRF_RenderContext* self, const char* path);
+    // ...
+};
+
+// SFML backend
+McRF_RenderContext* mcrf_sfml_context_new(int width, int height, const char* title);
+
+// Emscripten backend (future)
+McRF_RenderContext* mcrf_webgl_context_new(const char* canvas_id);
+```
+
+### Comparison: Original Plan vs libtcod-Inspired Plan
+
+| Aspect | Original Plan | libtcod-Inspired Plan |
+|--------|---------------|----------------------|
+| Type abstraction | Replace all `sf::*` with `mcrf::*` | Keep `sf::*` internally |
+| Abstraction point | Every primitive type | Single Context object |
+| Files affected | 78+ files | ~10 core files |
+| Compile-time switching | Complex namespace aliasing | Simple `#ifndef NO_SFML` |
+| Backend complexity | Full reimplementation | Focused vtable |
+
+**Recommendation**: Adopt libtcod's simpler pattern. Focus abstraction on the rendering context, not on data types.

+## Appendix D: Headless Build Experiment Results
+
+**Experiment Date**: 2026-01-30
+**Branch**: `emscripten-mcrogueface`
+
+### Objective
+
+Attempt to compile McRogueFace without SFML dependencies to identify true coupling points.
+
+### What We Created
+
+1. **`src/platform/HeadlessTypes.h`** - Complete SFML type stubs (~600 lines):
+   - Vector2f, Vector2i, Vector2u
+   - Color with standard color constants
+   - FloatRect, IntRect
+   - Time, Clock (with chrono-based implementation)
+   - Transform, Vertex, View
+   - Shape hierarchy (RectangleShape, CircleShape, etc.)
+   - Texture, Sprite, Font, Text stubs
+   - RenderTarget, RenderTexture, RenderWindow stubs
+   - Audio stubs (Sound, Music, SoundBuffer)
+   - Input stubs (Keyboard, Mouse, Event)
+   - Shader stub
+
+2. **Modified `src/Common.h`** - Conditional include:
+   ```cpp
+   #ifdef MCRF_HEADLESS
+       #include "platform/HeadlessTypes.h"
+   #else
+       #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
+       #include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
+   #endif
+   ```
+
+### Build Attempt Result
+
+**SUCCESS** - Headless build compiles after consolidating includes and adding stubs.
+
+### Work Completed
+
+#### 1. Consolidated SFML Includes
+
+**15 files** had direct SFML includes that bypassed Common.h. All were modified to use `#include "Common.h"` instead:
+
+| File | Original Include | Fixed |
+|------|------------------|-------|
+| `main.cpp` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `Animation.h` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `GridChunk.h` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `GridLayers.h` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `HeadlessRenderer.h` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `SceneTransition.h` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `McRFPy_Automation.h` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>`, `<SFML/Window.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `PyWindow.cpp` | `<SFML/Graphics.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `ActionCode.h` | `<SFML/Window/Keyboard.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `PyKey.h` | `<SFML/Window/Keyboard.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `PyMouseButton.h` | `<SFML/Window/Mouse.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `PyBSP.h` | `<SFML/System/Vector2.hpp>` | ✓ |
+| `UIGridPathfinding.h` | `<SFML/System/Vector2.hpp>` | ✓ |
+
+#### 2. Wrapped ImGui-SFML with Guards
+
+ImGui-SFML is disabled entirely in headless builds since debug tools can't be accessed through the API:
+
+| File | Changes |
+|------|---------|
+| `GameEngine.h` | Guarded includes and member variables |
+| `GameEngine.cpp` | Guarded all ImGui::SFML calls |
+| `ImGuiConsole.h/cpp` | Entire file wrapped with `#ifndef MCRF_HEADLESS` |
+| `ImGuiSceneExplorer.h/cpp` | Entire file wrapped with `#ifndef MCRF_HEADLESS` |
+| `McRFPy_API.cpp` | Guarded ImGuiConsole include and setEnabled call |
+
+#### 3. Extended HeadlessTypes.h
+
+The stub file grew from ~700 lines to ~900 lines with additional types and methods:
+
+**Types Added:**
+- `sf::Image` - For screenshot functionality
+- `sf::Glsl::Vec3`, `sf::Glsl::Vec4` - For shader uniforms
+- `sf::BlendMode` - For rendering states
+- `sf::CurrentTextureType` - For shader texture binding
+
+**Methods Added:**
+- `Font::Info` struct and `Font::getInfo()`
+- `Texture::update()` overloads
+- `Texture::copyToImage()`
+- `Transform::getInverse()`
+- `RenderStates` constructors from Transform, BlendMode, Shader*
+- `Music::getDuration()`, `getPlayingOffset()`, `setPlayingOffset()`
+- `SoundBuffer::getDuration()`
+- `RenderWindow::setMouseCursorGrabbed()`
+- `sf::err()` stream function
+- Keyboard aliases: `BackSpace`, `BackSlash`, `SemiColon`, `Dash`
+
+### Build Commands
+
+```bash
+# Normal SFML build (default)
+make
+
+# Headless build (no SFML/ImGui dependencies)
+mkdir build-headless && cd build-headless
+cmake .. -DMCRF_HEADLESS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make
+```
+
+### Key Insight
+
+The libtcod approach of `#ifndef NO_SDL` guards works when **all platform includes go through a single point**. The consolidation of 15+ bypass points into Common.h was the prerequisite that made this work.
+
+### Actual Effort
+
+| Task | Files | Time |
+|------|-------|------|
+| Replace direct SFML includes with Common.h | 15 | ~30 min |
+| Wrap ImGui-SFML in guards | 5 | ~20 min |
+| Extend HeadlessTypes.h with missing stubs | 1 | ~1 hour |
+| Fix compilation errors iteratively | - | ~1 hour |
+
+**Total**: ~3 hours for clean headless compilation
+
+### Completed Milestones
+
+1. ✅ **Test Python bindings** - mcrfpy module loads and works in headless mode
+   - Vector, Color, Scene, Frame, Grid all functional
+   - libtcod integrations (BSP, pathfinding) available
+2. ✅ **Add CMake option** - `option(MCRF_HEADLESS "Build without graphics" OFF)`
+   - Proper conditional compilation and linking
+   - No SFML symbols in headless binary
+3. ✅ **Link-time validation** - `ldd` confirms zero SFML/OpenGL dependencies
+4. ✅ **Binary size reduction** - Headless is 1.6 MB vs 2.5 MB normal build (36% smaller)
+
+### Python Test Results (Headless Mode)
+
+```python
+# All these work in headless build:
+import mcrfpy
+v = mcrfpy.Vector(10, 20)        # ✅
+c = mcrfpy.Color(255, 128, 64)   # ✅
+scene = mcrfpy.Scene('test')     # ✅
+frame = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(0,0))  # ✅
+grid = mcrfpy.Grid(grid_size=(10,10))  # ✅
+```
+
+### Remaining Steps for Emscripten
+
+1. ✅ **Main loop extraction** - `GameEngine::doFrame()` extracted with Emscripten callback support
+   - `run()` now uses `#ifdef __EMSCRIPTEN__` to choose between callback and blocking loop
+   - `emscripten_set_main_loop_arg()` integration ready
+2. ✅ **Emscripten toolchain** - `emcmake cmake` works with headless mode
+3. ✅ **Python-in-WASM** - Built CPython 3.14.2 for wasm32-emscripten target
+   - Uses official `Tools/wasm/emscripten build` script from CPython repo
+   - Produced libpython3.14.a (47MB static library)
+   - Also builds: libmpdec, libffi, libexpat for WASM
+4. ✅ **libtcod-in-WASM** - Built libtcod-headless for Emscripten
+   - Uses `LIBTCOD_SDL3=OFF` to avoid SDL dependency
+   - Includes lodepng and utf8proc dependencies
+5. ✅ **First successful WASM build** - mcrogueface.wasm (8.9MB) + mcrogueface.js (126KB)
+   - All 68 C++ source files compile with emcc
+   - Links: Python, libtcod, HACL crypto, expat, mpdec, ffi, zlib, bzip2, sqlite3
+6. 🔲 **Python stdlib bundling** - Need to package Python stdlib for WASM filesystem
+7. 🔲 **VRSFML integration** - Replace stubs with actual WebGL rendering
+
+### First Emscripten Build Attempt (2026-01-31)
+
+**Command:**
+```bash
+source ~/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh
+emcmake cmake .. -DMCRF_HEADLESS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+emmake make -j8
+```
+
+**Result:** Build failed on Python headers.
+
+**Key Errors:**
+```
+deps/Python/pyport.h:429:2: error: "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform"
+```
+```
+warning: shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]
+_Py_STATIC_FLAG_BITS << 48  // 48-bit shift on 32-bit WASM!
+```
+
+**Root Cause:**
+1. Desktop Python 3.14 headers assume 64-bit Linux with glibc
+2. Emscripten targets 32-bit WASM with musl-based libc
+3. Python's immortal reference counting uses `<< 48` shifts that overflow on 32-bit
+4. `LONG_BIT` check fails because WASM's `long` is 32 bits
+
+**Analysis:**
+The HeadlessTypes.h stubs and game engine code compile fine. The blocker is exclusively the Python C API integration.
+
+### Python-in-WASM Options
+
+| Option | Complexity | Description |
+|--------|------------|-------------|
+| **Pyodide** | Medium | Pre-built Python WASM with package ecosystem |
+| **CPython WASM** | High | Build CPython ourselves with Emscripten |
+| **No-Python mode** | Low | New CMake option to exclude Python entirely |
+
+**Pyodide Approach (Recommended):**
+- Pyodide provides Python 3.12 compiled for WASM
+- Would need to replace `deps/Python` with Pyodide headers
+- `McRFPy_API` binding layer needs adaptation
+- Pyodide handles asyncio, file system virtualization
+- Active project with good documentation
+
+### CPython WASM Build (Successful!)
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-31
+
+Used the official CPython WASM build process:
+
+```bash
+# From deps/cpython directory
+./Tools/wasm/emscripten build
+
+# This produces:
+# - cross-build/wasm32-emscripten/build/python/libpython3.14.a
+# - cross-build/wasm32-emscripten/prefix/lib/libmpdec.a
+# - cross-build/wasm32-emscripten/prefix/lib/libffi.a
+# - cross-build/wasm32-emscripten/build/python/Modules/expat/libexpat.a
+```
+
+**CMake Integration:**
+```cmake
+if(EMSCRIPTEN)
+    set(PYTHON_WASM_BUILD "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/deps/cpython/cross-build/wasm32-emscripten/build/python")
+    set(PYTHON_WASM_PREFIX "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/deps/cpython/cross-build/wasm32-emscripten/prefix")
+
+    # Force WASM-compatible pyconfig.h
+    add_compile_options(-include ${PYTHON_WASM_BUILD}/pyconfig.h)
+
+    # Link all Python dependencies
+    set(LINK_LIBS
+        ${PYTHON_WASM_BUILD}/libpython3.14.a
+        ${PYTHON_WASM_BUILD}/Modules/_hacl/*.o  # HACL crypto not in libpython
+        ${PYTHON_WASM_BUILD}/Modules/expat/libexpat.a
+        ${PYTHON_WASM_PREFIX}/lib/libmpdec.a
+        ${PYTHON_WASM_PREFIX}/lib/libffi.a
+    )
+
+    # Emscripten ports for common libraries
+    target_link_options(mcrogueface PRIVATE
+        -sUSE_ZLIB=1
+        -sUSE_BZIP2=1
+        -sUSE_SQLITE3=1
+    )
+endif()
+```
+
+**No-Python Mode (For Testing):**
+- Add `MCRF_NO_PYTHON` CMake option
+- Allows testing WASM build without Python complexity
+- Game engine would be pure C++ (no scripting)
+- Useful for validating rendering, input, timing first
+
+### Main Loop Architecture
+
+The game loop now supports both desktop (blocking) and browser (callback) modes:
+
+```cpp
+// GameEngine::run() - build-time conditional
+#ifdef __EMSCRIPTEN__
+    emscripten_set_main_loop_arg(emscriptenMainLoopCallback, this, 0, 1);
+#else
+    while (running) { doFrame(); }
+#endif
+
+// GameEngine::doFrame() - same code runs in both modes
+void GameEngine::doFrame() {
+    metrics.resetPerFrame();
+    currentScene()->update();
+    testTimers();
+    // ... animations, input, rendering ...
+    currentFrame++;
+    frameTime = clock.restart().asSeconds();
+}
+```

+# McRogueFace Issue Triage — April 2026
+
+**46 open issues** across #53–#304. Grouped by system, ordered by impact.
+
+---
+
+## Group 1: Render Cache Dirty Flags (Bugfix Cluster)
+
+**4 issues — all quick-to-moderate fixes, high user-visible impact**
+
+These are systemic bugs where Python property setters bypass the render cache invalidation system (#144). They cause stale frames when using `clip_children` or `cache_subtree`. Issue #291 is the umbrella audit; the other three are specific bugs it identified.
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #291 | Audit all Python property setters for missing markDirty() calls | Medium — systematic sweep of all tp_getset setters |
+| #290 | UIDrawable base x/y/pos setters don't propagate dirty flags to parent | Quick — add markCompositeDirty() call in set_float_member() |
+| #289 | Caption Python property setters don't call markDirty() | Quick — add markDirty() to text/font_size/fill_color setters |
+| #288 | UICollection mutations don't invalidate parent Frame's render cache | Quick — add markCompositeDirty() in append/remove/etc |
+
+**Dependencies:** None external. #291 depends on #288–#290 being fixed first (or done together).
+
+**Recommendation: Tackle first.** These are correctness bugs affecting every user of the caching system. The fixes are mechanical (add missing dirty-flag calls), low risk, and testable. One focused session can close all four.
+
+---
+
+## Group 2: Grid Dangling Pointer Bugs
+
+**3 issues — moderate fixes, memory safety impact**
+
+All three are the same class of bug: raw `UIGrid*` pointers in child objects that dangle when the parent grid is destroyed. Part of the broader memory safety audit (#279).
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #270 | GridLayer::parent_grid dangling raw pointer | Moderate — convert to weak_ptr or add invalidation |
+| #271 | UIGridPoint::parent_grid dangling raw pointer | Moderate — same pattern as #270 |
+| #277 | GridChunk::parent_grid dangling raw pointer | Moderate — same pattern as #270 |
+
+**Dependencies:** These are the last 3 unfixed bugs from the memory safety audit (#279). Fixing all three would effectively close #279.
+
+**Recommendation: Tackle second.** Same fix pattern applied three times. Closes the memory safety audit chapter.
+
+---
+
+## Group 3: Animation System Fixes
+
+**2 issues — one bugfix, one feature**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #256 | Animation system bypasses spatial hash updates for entity position | Moderate — hook animation property changes into spatial hash |
+| #218 | Color and Vector animation targets | Minor feature — compound property animation support |
+
+**Dependencies:** #256 is independent. #218 is a nice-to-have that improves DX.
+
+---
+
+## Group 4: Grid Layer & Rendering Fixes
+
+**2 issues — quick fixes**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #257 | Grid layers with z_index of zero are on top of entities | Quick — change `>=0` to `>0` or similar in draw order |
+| #152 | Sparse Grid Layers | Major feature — default values + sub-grid chunk optimization |
+
+**Dependencies:** #257 is standalone. #152 builds on the existing layer system.
+
+---
+
+## Group 5: API Cleanup & Consistency
+
+**1 issue — quick, blocks v1.0**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #304 | Remove camelCase module functions before 1.0 | Quick — delete 4 method entries from mcrfpyMethods[], update tests |
+
+**Dependencies:** Snake_case aliases already added. This is a breaking change gated on the 1.0 release.
+
+---
+
+## Group 6: Multi-Tile Entity Rendering
+
+**5 issues — parent + 4 children, all tier3-future**
+
+Umbrella issue #233 with four sub-issues for different approaches to entities larger than one grid cell.
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #233 | Enhance Entity rendering and positioning capabilities (parent) | Meta/tracking |
+| #234 | Entity origin offset for oversized sprites | Minor — add pixel offset to entity draw position |
+| #235 | Texture display bounds for non-uniform sprite content | Minor — support non-cell-aligned sprite regions |
+| #236 | Multi-tile entities using oversized sprites | Minor — render single large sprite across cells |
+| #237 | Multi-tile entities using composite sprites | Major — multiple sprite indices per entity |
+
+**Dependencies:** #234 is the simplest starting point. #236 and #237 build on #234/#235.
+
+---
+
+## Group 7: Memory Safety Audit Tail
+
+**9 issues — testing/tooling infrastructure for the #279 audit**
+
+These are the remaining items from the 7DRL 2026 post-mortem. The actual bugs are mostly fixed; these are about preventing regressions and improving the safety toolchain.
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #279 | Engine memory safety audit — meta/tracking | Meta — close when #270/#271/#277 done |
+| #287 | Regression tests for each bug from #258–#278 | Medium — write targeted test scripts |
+| #285 | CI pipeline for debug-test and asan-test | Medium — CI/CD configuration |
+| #286 | Re-enable ASan leak detection | Tiny — remove detect_leaks=0 suppression |
+| #284 | Valgrind Massif heap profiling target | Tiny — add Makefile target |
+| #283 | Atheris fuzzing harness for Python API | Major — significant new infrastructure |
+| #282 | Install modern Clang for TSan/fuzzing | Minor — toolchain upgrade |
+| #281 | Free-threaded CPython + TSan Makefile targets | Minor — Makefile additions |
+| #280 | Instrumented libtcod debug build | Minor — rebuild libtcod with sanitizers |
+
+**Dependencies:** #286 depends on #266/#275 (both closed). #287 depends on the actual bugs being fixed. #283 depends on #282.
+
+---
+
+## Group 8: Grid Data Model Enhancements
+
+**3 issues — foundation work for game data**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #293 | DiscreteMap serialization via bytes | Minor — add bytes() and from_bytes() to DiscreteMap |
+| #294 | Entity.gridstate as DiscreteMap reference | Minor — refactor internal representation |
+| #149 | Reduce the size of UIGrid.cpp | Refactoring — break 1400+ line file into logical units |
+
+**Dependencies:** #294 depends on #293. #149 is independent refactoring.
+
+---
+
+## Group 9: Performance Optimization
+
+**4 issues — significant effort, needs benchmarks first**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #255 | Tracking down performance improvement opportunities | Investigation — profiling session |
+| #117 | Memory Pool for Entities | Major — custom allocator |
+| #145 | TexturePool with power-of-2 RenderTexture reuse | Major — deferred from #144 |
+| #124 | Grid Point Animation | Major — per-tile animation system, needs design |
+
+**Dependencies:** #255 should be done first to identify where optimization matters. #145 builds on the dirty-flag system (#144, closed). #124 is a large standalone feature.
+
+---
+
+## Group 10: WASM / Playground Tooling
+
+**3 issues — all tier3-future**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #238 | Emscripten debugging infrastructure (DWARF, source maps) | Minor — build config additions |
+| #239 | Automated WASM testing with headless browser | Major — new test infrastructure |
+| #240 | Developer troubleshooting docs for WASM deployments | Documentation — write guide |
+
+**Dependencies:** #238 supports #239. #240 is standalone documentation.
+
+---
+
+## Group 11: LLM Agent Testbed
+
+**3 issues — research/demo infrastructure**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #55 | McRogueFace as Agent Simulation Environment | Major — umbrella/vision issue |
+| #154 | Grounded Multi-Agent Testbed | Major — research infrastructure |
+| #156 | Turn-based LLM Agent Orchestration | Major — orchestration layer |
+
+**Dependencies:** #156 depends on #154. Both depend on #55 conceptually. These also depend on #53 (alternative input methods) and mature API stability.
+
+---
+
+## Group 12: Demo Games & Tutorials
+
+**2 issues — showcase/marketing**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |
+|-------|-------|------------|
+| #248 | Crypt of Sokoban Remaster (7DRL prep) | Major — full game remaster |
+| #167 | r/roguelikedev Tutorial Series Demo Game | Major — tutorial content + demo game |
+
+**Dependencies:** Both benefit from a stable, well-documented API. #167 specifically needs the API to be settled.
+
+---
+
+## Group 13: Platform & Architecture (Far Future)
+
+**5 issues — large features, mostly deferred**
+
+| Issue | Title | Difficulty |

+
+## Recommended First Session
+
+**Groups 1 + 2: Dirty flags + dangling pointers (7 issues)**
+
+Rationale:
+- All are correctness/safety bugs, not features — fixes don't need design decisions
+- Dirty flag fixes (#288-#291) share the same mechanical pattern: add missing `markDirty()` or `markCompositeDirty()` calls
+- Dangling pointer fixes (#270, #271, #277) share the same pattern: convert `UIGrid*` to `weak_ptr<UIGrid>` or add invalidation on grid destruction
+- Closing these also effectively closes the meta issue #279
+- High confidence of completing all 7 in one session
+- Clears the way for performance work (Group 9) which depends on correct caching
+

+# WASM / Emscripten Troubleshooting Guide
+
+Practical solutions for common issues when building, testing, and deploying McRogueFace as a WebAssembly application.
+
+## Build Issues
+
+### "emcmake not found"
+
+The Emscripten SDK must be activated in your current shell before building:
+
+```bash
+source ~/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh
+make wasm
+```
+
+This sets `PATH`, `EMSDK`, and other environment variables. You need to re-run it for each new terminal session.
+
+### Build fails during CMake configure
+
+If CMake fails during the Emscripten configure step, delete the build directory and re-configure:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf build-emscripten
+make wasm
+```
+
+The Makefile targets skip CMake if a `Makefile` already exists in the build directory. Stale CMake caches from a prior SDK version or changed options cause configure errors.
+
+### "memory access out of bounds" at startup
+
+Usually caused by insufficient stack or memory. The build defaults to a 2 MB stack (`-sSTACK_SIZE=2097152`) and growable heap (`-sALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1`). If you hit stack limits with deep recursion (e.g. during Python import), increase the stack size in `CMakeLists.txt`:
+
+```cmake
+-sSTACK_SIZE=4194304  # 4 MB
+```
+
+### Link errors about undefined symbols
+
+The Emscripten build uses `-sERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS=0` because some libc/POSIX symbols are stubbed. If you add new C++ code that calls missing POSIX APIs, you will get a runtime error rather than a link error. Check the browser console for `Aborted(Assertion failed: missing function: ...)`.
+
+## Runtime Issues
+
+### Python import errors
+
+The WASM build bundles a filtered Python stdlib at build time via `--preload-file`. If a Python module is missing at runtime:
+
+1. Check `wasm_stdlib/lib/` — this is the preloaded stdlib tree
+2. If the module should be included, add it to `tools/stdlib_modules.yaml` under the appropriate category
+3. Rebuild: `rm -rf build-emscripten && make wasm`
+
+Some modules (like `socket`, `ssl`, `multiprocessing`) are intentionally excluded because they require OS features unavailable in the browser.
+
+### "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated"
+
+This warning appears when Python code triggers synchronous file I/O during module import. It's harmless but can cause slight UI freezes. The engine preloads all files into Emscripten's virtual filesystem before Python starts, so actual network requests don't happen.
+
+### IndexedDB / persistent storage errors
+
+The build uses `-lidbfs.js` for persistent storage (save games, user preferences). Common issues:
+
+- **"mkdir failed" on first load**: The engine calls `FS.mkdir('/idbfs')` during initialization. If the path already exists from a prior version, this fails silently. The `emscripten_pre.js` file patches this.
+- **Data not persisting**: Call `FS.syncfs(false, callback)` from JavaScript to flush changes to IndexedDB. The C++ side exposes `sync_storage()` via `Module.ccall`.
+- **Private browsing**: IndexedDB is unavailable in some private/incognito modes. The engine falls back gracefully but data won't persist.
+
+### Black screen / no rendering
+
+Check the browser's developer console (F12) for errors. Common causes:
+
+- **WebGL 2 not supported**: The build requires WebGL 2 (`-sMIN_WEBGL_VERSION=2`). Very old browsers or software renderers may not support it.
+- **Canvas size is zero**: If the HTML container has no explicit size, the canvas may render at 0x0. The custom `shell.html` handles this, but custom embedding needs to set canvas dimensions.
+- **Exception during init**: A Python error during `game.py` execution will abort rendering. Check console for Python tracebacks.
+
+### Audio not working
+
+Audio is stubbed in the WASM build. `SoundBuffer`, `Sound`, and `Music` objects exist but do nothing. This is documented in the Web Build Constraints table in CLAUDE.md.
+
+## Debugging
+
+### Enable debug builds
+
+Use the debug WASM targets for full DWARF symbols and source maps:
+
+```bash
+make wasm-debug         # Full game with debug info
+make playground-debug   # REPL with debug info
+```
+
+These produce larger binaries but enable:
+- **Source-level debugging** in Chrome DevTools (via DWARF and source maps)
+- **Readable stack traces** (via `--emit-symbol-map`)
+
+### Reading WASM stack traces
+
+Production WASM stack traces show mangled names like `$_ZN7UIFrame6renderEv`. To demangle:
+
+1. Use the debug build which emits a `.symbols` file
+2. Or pipe through `c++filt`: `echo '_ZN7UIFrame6renderEv' | c++filt`
+3. Or use Chrome's DWARF extension for inline source mapping
+
+### Browser developer tools
+
+- **Chrome**: DevTools > Sources > shows C++ source files with DWARF debug builds
+- **Firefox**: Debugger > limited DWARF support, better with source maps
+- **Console**: All `printf`/`std::cout` output goes to the browser console
+- **Network**: Check that `.data` (preloaded files) and `.wasm` loaded successfully
+- **Memory**: Use Chrome's Memory tab to profile WASM heap usage
+
+### Assertions
+
+The build enables `-sASSERTIONS=2` and `-sSTACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2` by default (both debug and release). These catch:
+- Null pointer dereferences in WASM memory
+- Stack overflow before it corrupts the heap
+- Invalid Emscripten API usage
+
+## Deployment
+
+### File sizes
+
+Typical build sizes:
+
+| Build | .wasm | .data | .js | Total |
+|-------|-------|-------|-----|-------|
+| Release | ~15 MB | ~25 MB | ~200 KB | ~40 MB |
+| Debug | ~40 MB | ~25 MB | ~300 KB | ~65 MB |
+
+The `.data` file contains the Python stdlib and game assets. Use the "light" stdlib preset to reduce it.
+
+### Serving requirements
+
+WASM files require specific HTTP headers:
+- `Content-Type: application/wasm` for `.wasm` files
+- CORS headers if serving from a CDN
+
+The `make serve` targets use Python's `http.server` which handles MIME types correctly for local development.
+
+### Embedding in custom pages
+
+The build produces an HTML file from `shell.html` (or `shell_game.html`). To embed in your own page, you need:
+
+1. The `.js`, `.wasm`, and `.data` files from the build directory
+2. A canvas element with `id="canvas"`
+3. Load the `.js` file, which bootstraps everything:
+
+```html
+<canvas id="canvas" width="1024" height="768"></canvas>
+<script src="mcrogueface.js"></script>
+```
+
+### Game shell vs playground shell
+
+- `make wasm` / `make wasm-game`: Uses `shell.html` or `shell_game.html` — includes REPL widget or fullscreen canvas
+- `make playground`: Uses `shell.html` with REPL chrome — intended for interactive testing
+- Set `MCRF_GAME_SHELL=ON` in CMake for fullscreen-only (no REPL)
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **No dynamic module loading**: All Python modules must be preloaded at build time
+2. **No threading**: JavaScript is single-threaded; Python's `threading` module is non-functional
+3. **No filesystem writes to disk**: Writes go to an in-memory filesystem (optionally synced to IndexedDB)
+4. **No audio**: Sound API is fully stubbed
+5. **No ImGui console**: The debug overlay is desktop-only
+6. **Input differences**: Some keyboard shortcuts are intercepted by the browser (Ctrl+W, F5, etc.)

+## Executive Summary
+
+The McRogueFace Python API exposes **46 exported types**, **14 internal types**, **10 enums**, **13 module-level functions**, **7 module-level properties**, and **5 singleton instances** through the `mcrfpy` module.
+
+Overall, the API is remarkably consistent. Properties and methods use snake_case throughout the type system. The major inconsistencies are concentrated in a few areas:
+
+1. **4 module-level functions use camelCase** (`setScale`, `findAll`, `getMetrics`, `setDevConsole`)
+2. **Terse/placeholder docstrings** on 5 core types (Vector, Font, Texture, GridPoint, GridPointState)
+3. **Deprecated property aliases** still exposed (`sprite_number`)
+4. **Color property naming split**: some types use `fill_color`/`outline_color`, others use `color`
+5. **Redundant position aliases** on Entity (`grid_pos` vs `cell_pos` for the same data)
+

+
+## Findings: Naming Inconsistencies
+
+### F1: Module-level camelCase functions (CRITICAL)
+
+Four module-level functions use camelCase while everything else uses snake_case:
+
+| Current | Should Be | Status |
+|---------|-----------|--------|
+| `setScale` | `set_scale` | Deprecated anyway (use `Window.resolution`) |
+| `findAll` | `find_all` | Active, needs alias |
+| `getMetrics` | `get_metrics` | Active, needs alias |
+| `setDevConsole` | `set_dev_console` | Active, needs alias |
+
+**Resolution**: Add snake_case aliases. Keep camelCase temporarily for backward compatibility. Remove camelCase in 1.0.
+
+### F2: Color property naming split
+
+Filled shapes (Frame, Caption, Circle) use `fill_color`/`outline_color`. Stroke-only shapes (Line, Arc) use `color`. This is actually semantically correct -- Line and Arc don't have a "fill" concept. **No change needed**, but worth documenting.
+
+### F3: Redundant Entity position aliases
+
+Entity exposes the same cell position data under two names:
+- `grid_pos`, `grid_x`, `grid_y`
+- `cell_pos`, `cell_x`, `cell_y`
+
+Both exist because `grid_pos` is the constructor parameter name and `cell_pos` is more descriptive. **Recommendation**: Keep both but document `grid_pos` as the canonical name (matches constructor).
+
+### F4: Grid `position` alias
+
+`Grid.position` is a redundant alias for `Grid.pos`. All other types use only `pos`. **Recommendation**: Deprecate `position`, keep `pos`.
+
+### F5: Iterator type naming
+
+- `UICollectionIter` -- has "UI" prefix
+- `UIEntityCollectionIter` -- has "UI" prefix
+- `EntityCollection3DIter` -- no "UI" prefix
+
+The "UI" prefix is an internal detail leaking into type names. Since these are internal types (not exported), this is cosmetic but worth noting.
+
+---
+
+## Findings: Missing Functionality
+
+### F6: No `__eq__` on Color
+
+`Color` has `__hash__` but no `__eq__`/`__ne__`. Two colors with the same RGBA values may not compare equal. This is a bug.
+
+### F7: No `Music.pitch`
+
+`Sound` has a `pitch` property but `Music` does not, despite SFML supporting it. Minor omission.
+
+### F8: No `Font` methods
+
+`Font` has no methods at all -- not even a way to query available sizes or get text metrics. This limits text layout capabilities.
+
+### F9: GridPoint has no `__init__`
+
+`GridPoint` cannot be constructed from Python (`tp_new = NULL`). This is intentional (it's a view into grid data) but should be clearly documented.
+
+### F10: Animation direct construction deprecated but not marked
+
+The `Animation` class can still be instantiated directly even though `.animate()` on drawables is preferred. No deprecation warning is emitted.
+
+---
+
+## Findings: Deprecations to Resolve
+
+### F11: `sprite_number` on Sprite and Entity
+
+Both types expose `sprite_number` as a deprecated alias for `sprite_index`. This should be removed before 1.0.
+
+### F12: `setScale` module function
+
+Deprecated in favor of `Window.resolution`. Should be removed before 1.0.
+
+### F13: Legacy string enum comparisons
+
+`Key`, `InputState`, `MouseButton` support comparing to legacy string values (e.g., `Key.ESCAPE == "Escape"`, `InputState.PRESSED == "start"`). This backward compatibility layer should be removed before 1.0.
+
+---
+
+## Findings: Documentation Gaps
+
+### F14: Terse docstrings on core types
+
+Several types have placeholder-quality `tp_doc` strings:
+
+| Type | Current tp_doc | Should be |
+|------|---------------|-----------|
+| `Vector` | `"SFML Vector Object"` | Full constructor docs with args |
+| `Font` | `"SFML Font Object"` | Full constructor docs |
+| `Texture` | `"SFML Texture Object"` | Full constructor docs |
+| `GridPoint` | `"UIGridPoint object"` | Description of purpose and access pattern |
+| `GridPointState` | `"UIGridPointState object"` | Description of purpose |
+
+### F15: Missing MCRF_* macro usage
+
+Some types use raw string docstrings for methods instead of MCRF_METHOD macros. This means the documentation pipeline may miss them.
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Before 1.0 (Breaking Changes)
+
+1. **Remove camelCase functions**: `setScale`, `findAll`, `getMetrics`, `setDevConsole`
+2. **Remove `sprite_number`** deprecated alias from Sprite and Entity
+3. **Remove legacy string enum comparisons** from Key, InputState, MouseButton
+4. **Remove `Grid.position`** redundant alias (keep `pos`)
+5. **Add `__eq__`/`__ne__` to Color** type
+
+### Immediate (Non-Breaking)
+
+1. **Add snake_case aliases** for the 4 camelCase module functions
+2. **Improve docstrings** on Vector, Font, Texture, GridPoint, GridPointState
+3. **Document `grid_pos` vs `cell_pos`** -- state that `grid_pos` is canonical
+
+### Future Considerations
+
+1. Add `pitch` to `Music`
+2. Add basic text metrics to `Font`
+3. Consider deprecation warnings for `Animation()` direct construction
+4. Unify iterator type naming (remove "UI" prefix from internal types)

+
+## #314 Freeze Decisions (2026-06, recorded before generating the API-surface snapshot)
+
+The April audit body above is partly stale. Live introspection of the built module gives the
+authoritative counts, and the snapshot test (`tests/unit/api_surface_snapshot_test.py`) is built
+from live introspection, not from this document.
+
+**Corrected live counts (2026-06):** 12 enums (audit said 10 — adds `Perspective` #294 and
+`Heuristic` #315), 46 exported classes, 12 module functions, 7 singletons/constants (incl. the
+`automation` submodule), 1 submodule. `GridPointState` was removed in #294 (its F14 row is moot).
+
+**Per-finding final status:** F1, F4, F6, F10, F11, F13, F14 = RESOLVED (verified in source via
+#304–#308). F2 = correct-by-design (docs-only). F5, F9 = cosmetic, unchanged. F7 (`Music.pitch`),
+F8 (`Font` methods) = Future, explicitly NOT 1.0 blockers.
+
+**Decisions locked for the freeze (the snapshot golden enshrines these):**
+
+- **F3 (cell-position canonical name):** `grid_pos` is canonical (matches the `grid_pos=`
+  constructor argument); `cell_pos`/`cell_x`/`cell_y` are documented aliases. Both share the same
+  getter/setter and remain interchangeable. Docstrings aligned at `src/UIEntity.cpp` getsetters.
+- **F12 (`set_scale`):** KEPT in the 1.0 surface as a documented-deprecated function. Removing it
+  now would itself be a new breaking change; the snapshot locks it in.
+- **`mcrfpy.automation`:** PyAutoGUI-compatibility camelCase (`moveRel`/`dragTo`/etc.) is EXEMPT
+  from the snake_case rule. The snapshot records it in a clearly-labeled section.
+- **`entity.texture` (new in #313):** additive read/write property; getter returns the entity's
+  real texture, `None` only in the degenerate (default_texture-null) case — never re-derefs a null
+  default_texture. Added to the frozen contract + stubs + docs when #313 lands (golden gains exactly
+  one line). Known edges, frozen as-is (2026-06-11 adversarial review): the getter mints a NEW
+  Texture wrapper per access and Texture has no `__eq__`, so `e.texture == e.texture` is False —
+  compare `.source`/sprite dims instead (same behavior as the pre-existing `Sprite.texture`);
+  setting does not re-validate `sprite_index` against the new atlas; setter rejects non-Texture
+  (TypeError), null-data Texture wrappers (ValueError, mirrors `Sprite.texture`), and deletion.
+
+**1.0 freeze scope — class classification** (the snapshot segregates FROZEN vs EXPERIMENTAL):
+
+- **FROZEN (stable 1.0):** core value types (Color, Vector, Font, Texture), UI drawables
+  (Drawable [root], Frame, Caption, Sprite, Line, Circle, Arc), Grid/GridView/Entity, Scene,
+  Window, Timer, Keyboard, Mouse, audio (Sound, SoundBuffer, Music), procgen (BSP, HeightMap,
+  NoiseSource, DijkstraMap, AStarPath), all 12 enums, the snake_case module functions, and the
+  singletons. (Provisionally frozen, flagged for confirmation at golden review: `ColorLayer`,
+  `TileLayer` [core grid layers, distinct from Tiled import], `DiscreteMap` [#293/#294 grid data].)
+- **EXPERIMENTAL (exempt, may change post-1.0):** 3D/Voxel (Billboard, Entity3D,
+  EntityCollection3D[Iter], Model3D, Viewport3D, VoxelGrid, VoxelRegion), Tiled import (TileSetFile,
+  TileMapFile, WangSet), LDtk import (LdtkProject, AutoRuleSet), Shader, and binding helpers
+  (CallableBinding, PropertyBinding).
+
+The snapshot test FAILS on any exported class not classified (forces a deliberate decision for
+future additions).
