BSP: add room adjacency graph for corridor generation (closes #210)

New features:
- bsp.adjacency[i] returns tuple of neighbor leaf indices
- bsp.get_leaf(index) returns BSPNode by leaf index (O(1) lookup)
- node.leaf_index returns this leaf's index (0..n-1) or None
- node.adjacent_tiles[j] returns tuple of Vector wall tiles bordering neighbor j

Implementation details:
- Lazy-computed adjacency cache with generation-based invalidation
- O(n²) pairwise adjacency check on first access
- Wall tiles computed per-direction (not symmetric) for correct perspective
- Supports 'in' operator: `5 in leaf.adjacent_tiles`

Code review fixes applied:
- split_once now increments generation to invalidate cache
- Wall tile cache uses (self, neighbor) key, not symmetric
- Added sq_contains for 'in' operator support
- Documented wall tile semantics (tiles on THIS leaf's boundary)

+# 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/
+    ├── libtcod/          # libtcod headers
+    ├── Python/           # Python headers
+    ├── 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/`.

+
+## Gitea-First Workflow
+
+**IMPORTANT**: This project uses Gitea for issue tracking, documentation, and project management. Always consult and update Gitea resources before and during development work.
+
+**Gitea Instance**: https://gamedev.ffwf.net/gitea/john/McRogueFace
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. **Gitea is the Single Source of Truth**
+   - Issue tracker contains current tasks, bugs, and feature requests
+   - Wiki contains living documentation and architecture decisions
+   - Use Gitea MCP tools to query and update issues programmatically
+
+2. **Always Check Gitea First**
+   - Before starting work: Check open issues for related tasks or blockers
+   - Before implementing: Read relevant wiki pages per the [Development Workflow](https://gamedev.ffwf.net/gitea/john/McRogueFace/wiki/Development-Workflow) consultation table
+   - When using `/roadmap` command: Query Gitea for up-to-date issue status
+   - When researching a feature: Search Gitea wiki and issues before grepping codebase
+   - When encountering a bug: Check if an issue already exists
+
+3. **Create Granular Issues**
+   - Break large features into separate, focused issues
+   - Each issue should address one specific problem or enhancement
+   - Tag issues appropriately: `[Bugfix]`, `[Major Feature]`, `[Minor Feature]`, etc.
+   - Link related issues using dependencies or blocking relationships
+
+4. **Document as You Go**
+   - When work on one issue interacts with another system: Add notes to related issues
+   - When discovering undocumented behavior: Note it for wiki update
+   - When documentation misleads you: Note it for wiki correction
+   - After committing code changes: Update relevant wiki pages (with user permission)
+   - Follow the [Development Workflow](https://gamedev.ffwf.net/gitea/john/McRogueFace/wiki/Development-Workflow) for wiki update procedures
+
+5. **Cross-Reference Everything**
+   - Commit messages should reference issue numbers (e.g., "Fixes #104", "Addresses #125")
+   - Issue comments should link to commits when work is done
+   - Wiki pages should reference relevant issues for implementation details
+   - Issues should link to each other when dependencies exist
+
+### Workflow Pattern
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ 1. Check Gitea Issues & Wiki                       │
+│    - Is there an existing issue for this?          │

+
+### Benefits of Gitea-First Approach
+
+- **Reduced Context Switching**: Check brief issue descriptions instead of re-reading entire codebase
+- **Better Planning**: Issues provide roadmap; avoid duplicate or contradictory work
+- **Living Documentation**: Wiki and issues stay current as work progresses
+- **Historical Context**: Issue comments capture why decisions were made
+- **Efficiency**: MCP tools allow programmatic access to project state
+
+### MCP Tools Available
+
+Claude Code has access to Gitea MCP tools for:
+- `list_repo_issues` - Query current issues with filtering
+- `get_issue` - Get detailed issue information
+- `create_issue` - Create new issues programmatically
+- `create_issue_comment` - Add comments to issues
+- `edit_issue` - Update issue status, title, body
+- `add_issue_labels` - Tag issues appropriately
+- `add_issue_dependency` / `add_issue_blocking` - Link related issues
+- Plus wiki, milestone, and label management tools
+
+Use these tools liberally to keep the project organized!
+
+### Gitea Label System
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Always apply appropriate labels when creating new issues!
+
+The project uses a structured label system to organize issues:
+
+**Label Categories:**
+
+1. **System Labels** (identify affected codebase area):
+   - `system:rendering` - Rendering pipeline and visuals
+   - `system:ui-hierarchy` - UI component hierarchy and composition
+   - `system:grid` - Grid system and spatial containers
+   - `system:animation` - Animation and property interpolation
+   - `system:python-binding` - Python/C++ binding layer
+   - `system:input` - Input handling and events
+   - `system:performance` - Performance optimization and profiling
+   - `system:documentation` - Documentation infrastructure
+
+2. **Priority Labels** (development timeline):
+   - `priority:tier1-active` - Current development focus - critical path to v1.0
+   - `priority:tier2-foundation` - Important foundation work - not blocking v1.0
+   - `priority:tier3-future` - Future features - deferred until after v1.0
+
+3. **Type/Scope Labels** (effort and complexity):
+   - `Major Feature` - Significant time and effort required
+   - `Minor Feature` - Some effort required to create or overhaul functionality
+   - `Tiny Feature` - Quick and easy - a few lines or little interconnection
+   - `Bugfix` - Fixes incorrect behavior
+   - `Refactoring & Cleanup` - No new functionality, just improving codebase
+   - `Documentation` - Documentation work
+   - `Demo Target` - Functionality to demonstrate
+
+4. **Workflow Labels** (current blockers/needs):
+   - `workflow:blocked` - Blocked by other work - waiting on dependencies
+   - `workflow:needs-documentation` - Needs documentation before or after implementation
+   - `workflow:needs-benchmark` - Needs performance testing and benchmarks
+   - `Alpha Release Requirement` - Blocker to 0.1 Alpha release
+
+**When creating issues:**
+- Apply at least one `system:*` label (what part of codebase)
+- Apply one `priority:tier*` label (when to address it)
+- Apply one type label (`Major Feature`, `Minor Feature`, `Tiny Feature`, or `Bugfix`)
+- Apply `workflow:*` labels if applicable (blocked, needs docs, needs benchmarks)
+
+**Example label combinations:**
+- New rendering feature: `system:rendering`, `priority:tier2-foundation`, `Major Feature`
+- Python API improvement: `system:python-binding`, `priority:tier1-active`, `Minor Feature`
+- Performance work: `system:performance`, `priority:tier1-active`, `Major Feature`, `workflow:needs-benchmark`
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL BUG**: The Gitea MCP tool (v0.07) has a label application bug documented in `GITEA_MCP_LABEL_BUG_REPORT.md`:
+- `add_issue_labels` and `replace_issue_labels` behave inconsistently
+- Single ID arrays produce different results than multi-ID arrays for the SAME IDs
+- Label IDs do not map reliably to actual labels
+
+**Workaround Options:**
+1. **Best**: Apply labels manually via web interface: `https://gamedev.ffwf.net/gitea/john/McRogueFace/issues/<number>`
+2. **Automated**: Apply labels ONE AT A TIME using single-element arrays (slower but more reliable)
+3. **Use single-ID mapping** (documented below)
+
+**Label ID Reference** (for documentation purposes - see issue #131 for details):
+```
+1=Major Feature, 2=Alpha Release, 3=Bugfix, 4=Demo Target, 5=Documentation,
+6=Minor Feature, 7=tier1-active, 8=tier2-foundation, 9=tier3-future,
+10=Refactoring, 11=animation, 12=docs, 13=grid, 14=input, 15=performance,
+16=python-binding, 17=rendering, 18=ui-hierarchy, 19=Tiny Feature,
+20=blocked, 21=needs-benchmark, 22=needs-documentation
+```
+
+## Build System
+
+McRogueFace uses a unified Makefile for both Linux native builds and Windows cross-compilation.
+
+**IMPORTANT**: All `make` commands must be run from the **project root directory** (`/home/john/Development/McRogueFace/`), not from `build/` or any subdirectory.
+
+### Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Linux builds
+make                    # Build for Linux (default target)
+make linux              # Same as above
+make run                # Build and run
+make clean              # Remove Linux build artifacts
+
+# Windows cross-compilation (requires MinGW-w64)
+make windows            # Release build for Windows
+make windows-debug      # Debug build with console output
+make clean-windows      # Remove Windows build artifacts
+
+# Distribution packages
+make package-linux-light    # Linux with minimal stdlib (~25 MB)
+make package-linux-full     # Linux with full stdlib (~26 MB)
+make package-windows-light  # Windows with minimal stdlib
+make package-windows-full   # Windows with full stdlib
+make package-all            # All platform/preset combinations
+
+# Cleanup
+make clean-all          # Remove all builds and packages
+make clean-dist         # Remove only distribution packages
+```
+
+### Build Outputs
+
+| Command | Output Directory | Executable |
+|---------|------------------|------------|
+| `make` / `make linux` | `build/` | `build/mcrogueface` |
+| `make windows` | `build-windows/` | `build-windows/mcrogueface.exe` |
+| `make windows-debug` | `build-windows-debug/` | `build-windows-debug/mcrogueface.exe` |
+| `make package-*` | `dist/` | `.tar.gz` or `.zip` archives |
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+**Linux build:**
+- CMake 3.14+
+- GCC/G++ with C++17 support
+- SFML 2.6 development libraries
+- Libraries in `__lib/` directory (libpython3.14, libtcod, etc.)
+
+**Windows cross-compilation:**
+- MinGW-w64 (`x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-posix`)
+- Libraries in `__lib_windows/` directory
+- Toolchain file: `cmake/toolchains/mingw-w64-x86_64.cmake`
+
+### Library Dependencies
+
+The build expects pre-built libraries in:
+- `__lib/` - Linux shared libraries (libpython3.14.so, libsfml-*.so, libtcod.so)
+- `__lib/Python/Lib/` - Python standard library source
+- `__lib/Python/lib.linux-x86_64-3.14/` - Python extension modules (.so)
+- `__lib_windows/` - Windows DLLs and libraries
+
+### Manual CMake Build
+
+If you need more control over the build:
+
+```bash
+# Linux
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+# Windows cross-compile
+mkdir build-windows && cd build-windows
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/toolchains/mingw-w64-x86_64.cmake \
+         -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+# Windows debug with console
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/toolchains/mingw-w64-x86_64.cmake \
+         -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
+         -DMCRF_WINDOWS_CONSOLE=ON
+```
+
+### Distribution Packaging
+
+The packaging system creates self-contained archives with:
+- Executable
+- Required shared libraries
+- Assets (sprites, fonts, audio)
+- Python scripts
+- Filtered Python stdlib (light or full variant)
+
+**Light variant** (~25 MB): Core + gamedev + utility modules only
+**Full variant** (~26 MB): Includes networking, async, debugging modules
+
+Packaging tools:
+- `tools/package.sh` - Main packaging orchestrator
+- `tools/package_stdlib.py` - Creates filtered stdlib archives
+- `tools/stdlib_modules.yaml` - Module categorization config
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**"No rule to make target 'linux'"**: You're in the wrong directory. Run `make` from project root.
+
+**Library linking errors**: Ensure `__lib/` contains all required .so files. Check `CMakeLists.txt` for `link_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/__lib)`.
+
+**Windows build fails**: Verify MinGW-w64 is installed with posix thread model: `x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++-posix --version`
+
+### Legacy Build Scripts
+
+The following are deprecated but kept for reference:
+- `build.sh` - Original Linux build script (use `make` instead)
+- `GNUmakefile.legacy` - Old wrapper makefile (renamed to avoid conflicts)
+
+## Project Architecture
+
+McRogueFace is a C++ game engine with Python scripting support, designed for creating roguelike games. The architecture consists of:
+
+### Core Engine (C++)
+- **Entry Point**: `src/main.cpp` initializes the game engine
+- **Scene System**: `Scene.h/cpp` manages game states
+- **Entity System**: `UIEntity.h/cpp` provides game objects
+- **Python Integration**: `McRFPy_API.h/cpp` exposes engine functionality to Python
+- **UI Components**: `UIFrame`, `UICaption`, `UISprite`, `UIGrid` for rendering
+
+### Game Logic (Python)
+- **Main Script**: `src/scripts/game.py` contains game initialization and scene setup
+- **Entity System**: `src/scripts/cos_entities.py` implements game entities (Player, Enemy, Boulder, etc.)
+- **Level Generation**: `src/scripts/cos_level.py` uses BSP for procedural dungeon generation
+- **Tile System**: `src/scripts/cos_tiles.py` implements Wave Function Collapse for tile placement
+
+### Key Python API (`mcrfpy` module)
+The C++ engine exposes these primary functions to Python:
+- Scene Management: `Scene("name")` object
+- Entity Creation: `Entity()` with position and sprite properties
+- Grid Management: `Grid()` for tilemap rendering
+- Input Handling: `keypressScene()` for keyboard events
+- Audio: `createSoundBuffer()`, `playSound()`, `setVolume()`
+- Timers: `Timer("name")` object for event scheduling
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Running the Game
+After building, the executable expects:
+- `assets/` directory with sprites, fonts, and audio
+- `scripts/` directory with Python game files
+- Python 3.12 shared libraries in `./lib/`
+
+### Modifying Game Logic
+- Game scripts are in `src/scripts/`
+- Main game entry is `game.py`
+- Entity behavior in `cos_entities.py`
+- Level generation in `cos_level.py`
+
+### Adding New Features
+1. C++ API additions go in `src/McRFPy_API.cpp`
+2. Expose to Python using the existing binding pattern
+3. Update Python scripts to use new functionality
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Suite Structure
+
+The `tests/` directory contains the comprehensive test suite:
+
+```
+tests/
+├── run_tests.py          # Test runner - executes all tests with timeout
+├── unit/                 # Unit tests for individual components (105+ tests)
+├── integration/          # Integration tests for system interactions
+├── regression/           # Bug regression tests (issue_XX_*.py)
+├── benchmarks/           # Performance benchmarks
+├── demo/                 # Feature demonstration system
+│   ├── demo_main.py      # Interactive demo runner
+│   ├── screens/          # Per-feature demo screens
+│   └── screenshots/      # Generated demo screenshots
+└── notes/                # Analysis files and documentation
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run the full test suite (from tests/ directory)
+cd tests && python3 run_tests.py
+
+# Run a specific test
+cd build && ./mcrogueface --headless --exec ../tests/unit/some_test.py
+
+# Run the demo system interactively
+cd build && ./mcrogueface ../tests/demo/demo_main.py
+
+# Generate demo screenshots (headless)
+cd build && ./mcrogueface --headless --exec ../tests/demo/demo_main.py
+```
+
+### Reading Tests as Examples
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Before implementing a feature or fixing a bug, check existing tests for API usage examples:
+
+- `tests/unit/` - Shows correct usage of individual mcrfpy classes and functions
+- `tests/demo/screens/` - Complete working examples of UI components
+- `tests/regression/` - Documents edge cases and bug scenarios
+
+Example: To understand Animation API:
+```bash
+grep -r "Animation" tests/unit/
+cat tests/demo/screens/animation_demo.py
+```
+
+### Writing Tests
+
+**Always write tests when adding features or fixing bugs:**
+
+1. **For new features**: Create `tests/unit/feature_name_test.py`
+2. **For bug fixes**: Create `tests/regression/issue_XX_description_test.py`
+3. **For demos**: Add to `tests/demo/screens/` if it showcases a feature
+
+### Quick Testing Commands
+```bash
+# Test headless mode with inline Python
+cd build
+./mcrogueface --headless -c "import mcrfpy; print('Headless test')"
+
+# Run specific test with output
+./mcrogueface --headless --exec ../tests/unit/my_test.py 2>&1
+```
+
+## Common Development Tasks
+
+### Compiling McRogueFace
+
+See the [Build System](#build-system) section above for comprehensive build instructions.
+
+```bash
+# Quick reference (run from project root!)
+make                # Linux build
+make windows        # Windows cross-compile
+make clean && make  # Full rebuild
+```
+
+### Running and Capturing Output
+```bash
+# Run with timeout and capture output
+cd build
+timeout 5 ./mcrogueface 2>&1 | tee output.log
+
+# Run in background and kill after delay
+./mcrogueface > output.txt 2>&1 & PID=$!; sleep 3; kill $PID 2>/dev/null
+
+# Just capture first N lines (useful for crashes)
+./mcrogueface 2>&1 | head -50
+```
+
+### Debugging with GDB
+```bash
+# Interactive debugging
+gdb ./mcrogueface
+(gdb) run
+(gdb) bt  # backtrace after crash
+
+# Batch mode debugging (non-interactive)
+gdb -batch -ex run -ex where -ex quit ./mcrogueface 2>&1
+
+# Get just the backtrace after a crash
+gdb -batch -ex "run" -ex "bt" ./mcrogueface 2>&1 | head -50
+
+# Debug with specific commands
+echo -e "run\nbt 5\nquit\ny" | gdb ./mcrogueface 2>&1
+```
+
+### Testing Different Python Scripts
+```bash
+# The game automatically runs build/scripts/game.py on startup
+# To test different behavior:
+
+# Option 1: Replace game.py temporarily
+cd build
+cp scripts/my_test_script.py scripts/game.py
+./mcrogueface
+
+# Option 2: Backup original and test
+mv scripts/game.py scripts/game.py.bak
+cp my_test.py scripts/game.py
+./mcrogueface
+mv scripts/game.py.bak scripts/game.py
+
+# Option 3: For quick tests, create minimal game.py
+echo 'import mcrfpy; print("Test"); scene = mcrfpy.Scene("test"); scene.activate()' > scripts/game.py
+```
+
+### Understanding Key Macros and Patterns
+
+#### RET_PY_INSTANCE Macro (UIDrawable.h)
+This macro handles converting C++ UI objects to their Python equivalents:
+```cpp
+RET_PY_INSTANCE(target);
+// Expands to a switch on target->derived_type() that:
+// 1. Allocates the correct Python object type (Frame, Caption, Sprite, Grid)
+// 2. Sets the shared_ptr data member
+// 3. Returns the PyObject*
+```
+
+#### Collection Patterns
+- `UICollection` wraps `std::vector<std::shared_ptr<UIDrawable>>`
+- `UIEntityCollection` wraps `std::list<std::shared_ptr<UIEntity>>`
+- Different containers require different iteration code (vector vs list)
+
+#### Python Object Creation Patterns
+```cpp
+// Pattern 1: Using tp_alloc (most common)
+auto o = (PyUIFrameObject*)type->tp_alloc(type, 0);
+o->data = std::make_shared<UIFrame>();
+
+// Pattern 2: Getting type from module
+auto type = (PyTypeObject*)PyObject_GetAttrString(McRFPy_API::mcrf_module, "Entity");
+auto o = (PyUIEntityObject*)type->tp_alloc(type, 0);
+
+// Pattern 3: Direct shared_ptr assignment
+iterObj->data = self->data;  // Shares the C++ object
+```
+
+### Working Directory Structure
+```
+build/
+├── mcrogueface          # The executable
+├── scripts/            
+│   └── game.py         # Auto-loaded Python script
+├── assets/             # Copied from source during build
+└── lib/                # Python libraries (copied from __lib/)
+```
+
+### Quick Iteration Tips
+- Keep a test script ready for quick experiments
+- Use `timeout` to auto-kill hanging processes
+- The game expects a window manager; use Xvfb for headless testing
+- Python errors go to stderr, game output to stdout
+- Segfaults usually mean Python type initialization issues
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- The project uses SFML for graphics/audio and libtcod for roguelike utilities
+- Python scripts are loaded at runtime from the `scripts/` directory
+- Asset loading expects specific paths relative to the executable
+- The game was created for 7DRL 2025 as "Crypt of Sokoban"
+- Iterator implementations require careful handling of C++/Python boundaries
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+### Test-Driven Development
+- **Always write tests first**: Create tests in `./tests/` for all bugs and new features
+- **Practice TDD**: Write tests that fail to demonstrate the issue, then pass after the fix
+- **Read existing tests**: Check `tests/unit/` and `tests/demo/screens/` for API examples before writing code
+- **Close the loop**: Reproduce issue → change code → recompile → run test → verify
+
+### Two Types of Tests
+
+#### 1. Direct Execution Tests (No Game Loop)
+For tests that only need class initialization or direct code execution:
+```python
+# tests/unit/my_feature_test.py
+import mcrfpy
+import sys
+
+# Test code - runs immediately
+frame = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(0,0), size=(100,100))
+assert frame.x == 0
+assert frame.w == 100
+
+print("PASS")
+sys.exit(0)
+```
+
+#### 2. Game Loop Tests (Timer-Based)
+For tests requiring rendering, screenshots, or elapsed time:
+```python
+# tests/unit/my_visual_test.py
+import mcrfpy
+from mcrfpy import automation
+import sys
+
+def run_test(runtime):
+    """Timer callback - runs after game loop starts"""
+    automation.screenshot("test_result.png")
+    # Validate results...
+    print("PASS")
+    sys.exit(0)
+
+test_scene = mcrfpy.Scene("test")
+ui = test_scene.children
+ui.append(mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(50,50), size=(100,100)))
+mcrfpy.current_scene = test_scene
+timer = mcrfpy.Timer("test", run_test, 100)
+```
+
+### Key Testing Principles
+- **Timer callbacks are essential**: Screenshots only work after the render loop starts
+- **Use automation API**: `automation.screenshot()`, `automation.click()` for visual testing
+- **Exit properly**: Always call `sys.exit(0)` for PASS or `sys.exit(1)` for FAIL
+- **Headless mode**: Use `--headless --exec` for CI/automated testing
+- **Check examples first**: Read `tests/demo/screens/*.py` for correct API usage
+
+### API Quick Reference (from tests)
+```python
+# Scene: create and activate a scene, or create another scene
+mcrfpy.current_scene = mcrfpy.Scene("test")
+demo_scene = mcrfpy.Scene("demo")
+
+# Animation: (property, target_value, duration, easing)
+# direct use of Animation object: deprecated
+#anim = mcrfpy.Animation("x", 500.0, 2.0, "easeInOut")
+#anim.start(frame)
+
+# preferred: create animations directly against the targeted object; use Enum of easing functions
+frame.animate("x", 500.0, 2.0, mcrfpy.Easing.EASE_IN_OUT)
+
+# Caption: use keyword arguments to avoid positional conflicts
+cap = mcrfpy.Caption(text="Hello", pos=(100, 100))
+
+# Grid center: uses pixel coordinates, not cell coordinates
+grid = mcrfpy.Grid(grid_size=(15, 10), pos=(50, 50), size=(400, 300))
+grid.center = (120, 80)  # pixels: (cells * cell_size / 2)
+# grid center defaults to the position that puts (0, 0) in the top left corner of the grid's visible area.
+# set grid.center to focus on that position. To position the camera in tile coordinates, use grid.center_camera():
+grid.center_camera((14.5, 8.5)) # offset of 0.5 tiles to point at the middle of the tile
+
+# Keyboard handler: key names are "Num1", "Num2", "Escape", "Q", etc.
+def on_key(key, state):
+    if key == "Num1" and state == "start":
+        demo_scene.activate()
+```
+
+## Development Best Practices
+
+### Testing and Deployment
+- **Keep tests in ./tests, not ./build/tests** - ./build gets shipped, tests shouldn't be included
+- **Run full suite before commits**: `cd tests && python3 run_tests.py`
+
+## Documentation Guidelines
+
+### Documentation Macro System
+
+**As of 2025-10-30, McRogueFace uses a macro-based documentation system** (`src/McRFPy_Doc.h`) that ensures consistent, complete docstrings across all Python bindings.
+
+#### Include the Header
+
+```cpp
+#include "McRFPy_Doc.h"
+```
+
+#### Documenting Methods
+
+For methods in PyMethodDef arrays, use `MCRF_METHOD`:
+
+```cpp
+{"method_name", (PyCFunction)Class::method, METH_VARARGS,
+ MCRF_METHOD(ClassName, method_name,
+     MCRF_SIG("(arg1: type, arg2: type)", "return_type"),
+     MCRF_DESC("Brief description of what the method does."),
+     MCRF_ARGS_START
+     MCRF_ARG("arg1", "Description of first argument")
+     MCRF_ARG("arg2", "Description of second argument")
+     MCRF_RETURNS("Description of return value")
+     MCRF_RAISES("ValueError", "Condition that raises this exception")
+     MCRF_NOTE("Important notes or caveats")
+     MCRF_LINK("docs/guide.md", "Related Documentation")
+ )},
+```
+
+#### Documenting Properties
+
+For properties in PyGetSetDef arrays, use `MCRF_PROPERTY`:
+
+```cpp
+{"property_name", (getter)getter_func, (setter)setter_func,
+ MCRF_PROPERTY(property_name,
+     "Brief description of the property. "
+     "Additional details about valid values, side effects, etc."
+ ), NULL},
+```
+
+#### Available Macros
+
+- `MCRF_SIG(params, ret)` - Method signature
+- `MCRF_DESC(text)` - Description paragraph
+- `MCRF_ARGS_START` - Begin arguments section
+- `MCRF_ARG(name, desc)` - Individual argument
+- `MCRF_RETURNS(text)` - Return value description
+- `MCRF_RAISES(exception, condition)` - Exception documentation
+- `MCRF_NOTE(text)` - Important notes
+- `MCRF_LINK(path, text)` - Reference to external documentation
+
+#### Documentation Prose Guidelines
+
+**Keep C++ docstrings concise** (1-2 sentences per section). For complex topics, use `MCRF_LINK` to reference external guides:
+
+```cpp
+MCRF_LINK("docs/animation-guide.md", "Animation System Tutorial")
+```
+
+**External documentation** (in `docs/`) can be verbose with examples, tutorials, and design rationale.
+
+### Regenerating Documentation
+
+After modifying C++ inline documentation with MCRF_* macros:
+
+1. **Rebuild the project**: `make -j$(nproc)`
+
+2. **Generate all documentation** (recommended - single command):
+   ```bash
+   ./tools/generate_all_docs.sh
+   ```
+   This creates:
+   - `docs/api_reference_dynamic.html` - HTML API reference
+   - `docs/API_REFERENCE_DYNAMIC.md` - Markdown API reference
+   - `docs/mcrfpy.3` - Unix man page (section 3)
+   - `stubs/mcrfpy.pyi` - Type stubs for IDE support
+
+3. **Or generate individually**:
+   ```bash
+   # API docs (HTML + Markdown)
+   ./build/mcrogueface --headless --exec tools/generate_dynamic_docs.py
+
+   # Type stubs (manually-maintained with @overload support)
+   ./build/mcrogueface --headless --exec tools/generate_stubs_v2.py
+
+   # Man page (requires pandoc)
+   ./tools/generate_man_page.sh
+   ```
+
+**System Requirements:**
+- `pandoc` must be installed for man page generation: `sudo apt-get install pandoc`
+
+### Important Notes
+
+- **Single source of truth**: Documentation lives in C++ source files via MCRF_* macros
+- **McRogueFace as Python interpreter**: Documentation scripts MUST be run using McRogueFace itself, not system Python
+- **Use --headless --exec**: For non-interactive documentation generation
+- **Link transformation**: `MCRF_LINK` references are transformed to appropriate format (HTML, Markdown, etc.)
+- **No manual dictionaries**: The old hardcoded documentation system has been removed
+
+### Documentation Pipeline Architecture
+
+1. **C++ Source** → MCRF_* macros in PyMethodDef/PyGetSetDef arrays
+2. **Compilation** → Macros expand to complete docstrings embedded in module
+3. **Introspection** → Scripts use `dir()`, `getattr()`, `__doc__` to extract
+4. **Generation** → HTML/Markdown/Stub files created with transformed links
+5. **No drift**: Impossible for docs and code to disagree - they're the same file!
+
+The macro system ensures complete, consistent documentation across all Python bindings.
+
+### Adding Documentation for New Python Types
+
+When adding a new Python class/type to the engine, follow these steps to ensure it's properly documented:
+
+#### 1. Class Docstring (tp_doc)
+
+In the `PyTypeObject` definition (usually in the header file), set `tp_doc` with a comprehensive docstring:
+
+```cpp
+// In PyMyClass.h
+.tp_doc = PyDoc_STR(
+    "MyClass(arg1: type, arg2: type)\n\n"
+    "Brief description of what this class does.\n\n"
+    "Args:\n"
+    "    arg1: Description of first argument.\n"
+    "    arg2: Description of second argument.\n\n"
+    "Properties:\n"
+    "    prop1 (type, read-only): Description of property.\n"
+    "    prop2 (type): Description of writable property.\n\n"
+    "Example:\n"
+    "    obj = mcrfpy.MyClass('example', 42)\n"
+    "    print(obj.prop1)\n"
+),
+```
+
+#### 2. Method Documentation (PyMethodDef)
+
+For each method in the `methods[]` array, use the MCRF_* macros:
+
+```cpp
+// In PyMyClass.cpp
+PyMethodDef PyMyClass::methods[] = {
+    {"do_something", (PyCFunction)do_something, METH_VARARGS,
+     MCRF_METHOD(MyClass, do_something,
+         MCRF_SIG("(value: int)", "bool"),
+         MCRF_DESC("Does something with the value."),
+         MCRF_ARGS_START
+         MCRF_ARG("value", "The value to process")
+         MCRF_RETURNS("True if successful, False otherwise")
+     )},
+    {NULL}  // Sentinel
+};
+```
+
+#### 3. Property Documentation (PyGetSetDef)
+
+For each property in the `getsetters[]` array, include a docstring:
+
+```cpp
+// In PyMyClass.cpp
+PyGetSetDef PyMyClass::getsetters[] = {
+    {"property_name", (getter)get_property, (setter)set_property,
+     "Property description. Include (type, read-only) if not writable.",
+     NULL},
+    {NULL}  // Sentinel
+};
+```
+
+**Important for read-only properties:** Include "read-only" in the docstring so the doc generator detects it:
+```cpp
+{"name", (getter)get_name, NULL,  // NULL setter = read-only
+ "Object name (str, read-only). Unique identifier.",
+ NULL},
+```
+
+#### 4. Register Type in Module
+
+Ensure the type is properly registered in `McRFPy_API.cpp` and its methods/getsetters are assigned:
+
+```cpp
+// Set methods and getsetters before PyType_Ready
+mcrfpydef::PyMyClassType.tp_methods = PyMyClass::methods;
+mcrfpydef::PyMyClassType.tp_getset = PyMyClass::getsetters;
+
+// Then call PyType_Ready and add to module
+```
+
+#### 5. Regenerate Documentation
+
+After adding the new type, regenerate all docs:
+
+```bash
+make -j4  # Rebuild with new documentation
+cd build
+./mcrogueface --headless --exec ../tools/generate_dynamic_docs.py
+cp docs/API_REFERENCE_DYNAMIC.md ../docs/
+cp docs/api_reference_dynamic.html ../docs/
+```
+
+#### 6. Update Type Stubs (Optional)
+
+For IDE support, update `stubs/mcrfpy.pyi` with the new class:
+
+```python
+class MyClass:
+    """Brief description."""
+    def __init__(self, arg1: str, arg2: int) -> None: ...
+    @property
+    def prop1(self) -> str: ...
+    def do_something(self, value: int) -> bool: ...
+```
+
+### Documentation Extraction Details
+
+The doc generator (`tools/generate_dynamic_docs.py`) uses Python introspection:
+
+- **Classes**: Detected via `inspect.isclass()`, docstring from `cls.__doc__`
+- **Methods**: Detected via `callable()` check on class attributes
+- **Properties**: Detected via `types.GetSetDescriptorType` (C++ extension) or `property` (Python)
+- **Read-only detection**: Checks if "read-only" appears in property docstring
+
+If documentation isn't appearing, verify:
+1. The type is exported to the `mcrfpy` module
+2. Methods/getsetters arrays are properly assigned before `PyType_Ready()`
+3. Docstrings don't contain null bytes or invalid UTF-8
+
+---
+
+- Close issues automatically in gitea by adding to the commit message "closes #X", where X is the issue number. This associates the issue closure with the specific commit, so granular commits are preferred. You should only use the MCP tool to close issues directly when discovering that the issue is already complete; when committing changes, always such "closes" (or the opposite, "reopens") references to related issues. If on a feature branch, the issue will be referenced by the commit, and when merged to master, the issue will be actually closed (or reopened).

-# McRogueFace - 2D Game Engine
+# McRogueFace
-
-An experimental prototype game engine built for my own use in 7DRL 2023.
-
 *Blame my wife for the name*
 
-## Tenets:
+A Python-powered 2D game engine for creating roguelike games, built with C++ and SFML.
 
-* C++ first, Python close behind.
+* Core roguelike logic from libtcod: field of view, pathfinding
-* Entity-Component system based on David Churchill's Memorial University COMP4300 course lectures available on Youtube.
+* Animate sprites with multiple frames. Smooth transitions for positions, sizes, zoom, and camera
-* Graphics, particles and shaders provided by SFML.
+* Simple GUI element system allows keyboard and mouse input, composition
-* Pathfinding, noise generation, and other Roguelike goodness provided by TCOD.
+* No compilation or installation necessary. The runtime is a full Python environment; "Zip And Ship"
 
-## Why?
+![ Image ]()
 
-I did the r/RoguelikeDev TCOD tutorial in Python. I loved it, but I did not want to be limited to ASCII. I want to be able to draw pixels on top of my tiles (like lines or circles) and eventually incorporate even more polish.
+**Pre-Alpha Release Demo**: my 7DRL 2025 entry *"Crypt of Sokoban"* - a prototype with buttons, boulders, enemies, and items.
 
-## To-do
+## Quick Start
 
-* ✅ Initial Commit
+**Download**: 
-* ✅ Integrate scene, action, entity, component system from COMP4300 engine
+
-* ✅ Windows / Visual Studio project
+- The entire McRogueFace visual framework:
-* ✅ Draw Sprites
+  - **Sprite**: an image file or one sprite from a shared sprite sheet
-* ✅ Play Sounds
+  - **Caption**: load a font, display text
-* ✅ Draw UI, spawn entity from Python code
+  - **Frame**: A rectangle; put other things on it to move or manage GUIs as modules
-* ❌ Python AI for entities (NPCs on set paths, enemies towards player)
+  - **Grid**: A 2D array of tiles with zoom + position control
-* ✅ Walking / Collision
+  - **Entity**: Lives on a Grid, displays a sprite, and can have a perspective or move along a path
-* ❌ "Boards" (stairs / doors / walk off edge of screen)
+  - **Animation**: Change any property on any of the above over time
-* ❌ Cutscenes - interrupt normal controls, text scroll, character portraits
+
-* ❌ Mouse integration - tooltips, zoom, click to select targets, cursors
+```bash
+# Clone and build
+git clone <wherever you found this repo>
+cd McRogueFace
+make
+
+# Run the example game
+cd build
+./mcrogueface
+```

+
+If you are building McRogueFace to implement game logic or scene configuration in C++, you'll have to compile the project.
+
+If you are writing a game in Python using McRogueFace, you only need to rename and zip/distribute the `build` directory.
+
+## Philosophy
+
+- **C++ every frame, Python every tick**: All rendering data is handled in C++. Structure your UI and program animations in Python, and they are rendered without Python. All game logic can be written in Python.
+- **No Compiling Required; Zip And Ship**: Implement your game objects with Python, zip up McRogueFace with your "game.py" to ship
+- **Built-in Roguelike Support**: Dungeon generation, pathfinding, and field-of-view via libtcod 
+- **Hands-Off Testing**: PyAutoGUI-inspired event generation framework. All McRogueFace interactions can be performed headlessly via script: for software testing or AI integration
+- **Interactive Development**: Python REPL integration for live game debugging. Use `mcrogueface` like a Python interpreter

+# McRogueFace - Development Roadmap
+
+## Project Status
+
+**Current State**: Active development - C++ game engine with Python scripting
+**Latest Release**: Alpha 0.1
+**Issue Tracking**: See [Gitea Issues](https://gamedev.ffwf.net/gitea/john/McRogueFace/issues) for current tasks and bugs
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Strategic Vision
+
+### Engine Philosophy
+
+- **C++ First**: Performance-critical code stays in C++
+- **Python Close Behind**: Rich scripting without frame-rate impact
+- **Game-Ready**: Each improvement should benefit actual game development
+
+### Architecture Goals
+
+1. **Clean Inheritance**: Drawable → UI components, proper type preservation
+2. **Collection Consistency**: Uniform iteration, indexing, and search patterns
+3. **Resource Management**: RAII everywhere, proper lifecycle handling
+4. **Multi-Platform**: Windows/Linux feature parity maintained
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Decisions
+
+### Three-Layer Grid Architecture
+Following successful roguelike patterns (Caves of Qud, Cogmind, DCSS):
+
+1. **Visual Layer** (UIGridPoint) - Sprites, colors, animations
+2. **World State Layer** (TCODMap) - Walkability, transparency, physics
+3. **Entity Perspective Layer** (UIGridPointState) - Per-entity FOV, knowledge
+
+### Performance Architecture
+Critical for large maps (1000x1000):
+
+- **Spatial Hashing** for entity queries (not quadtrees!)
+- **Batch Operations** with context managers (10-100x speedup)
+- **Memory Pooling** for entities and components
+- **Dirty Flag System** to avoid unnecessary updates
+- **Zero-Copy NumPy Integration** via buffer protocol
+
+### Key Insight from Research
+"Minimizing Python/C++ boundary crossings matters more than individual function complexity"
+- Batch everything possible
+- Use context managers for logical operations
+- Expose arrays, not individual cells
+- Profile and optimize hot paths only
+

+
+## 🔮 Future Vision: Pure Python Extension Architecture
+
+### Concept: McRogueFace as a Traditional Python Package
+**Status**: Long-term vision
+**Complexity**: Major architectural overhaul
+
+Instead of being a C++ application that embeds Python, McRogueFace could be redesigned as a pure Python extension module that can be installed via `pip install mcrogueface`.
+
+### Technical Approach
+
+1. **Separate Core Engine from Python Embedding**
+   - Extract SFML rendering, audio, and input into C++ extension modules
+   - Remove embedded CPython interpreter
+   - Use Python's C API to expose functionality
+
+2. **Module Structure**
+   ```
+   mcrfpy/
+   ├── __init__.py          # Pure Python coordinator
+   ├── _core.so             # C++ rendering/game loop extension
+   ├── _sfml.so             # SFML bindings
+   ├── _audio.so            # Audio system bindings
+   └── engine.py            # Python game engine logic
+   ```
+
+3. **Inverted Control Flow**
+   - Python drives the main loop instead of C++
+   - C++ extensions handle performance-critical operations
+   - Python manages game logic, scenes, and entity systems
+
+### Benefits
+
+- **Standard Python Packaging**: `pip install mcrogueface`
+- **Virtual Environment Support**: Works with venv, conda, poetry
+- **Better IDE Integration**: Standard Python development workflow
+- **Easier Testing**: Use pytest, standard Python testing tools
+- **Cross-Python Compatibility**: Support multiple Python versions
+- **Modular Architecture**: Users can import only what they need
+
+### Challenges
+
+- **Major Refactoring**: Complete restructure of codebase
+- **Performance Considerations**: Python-driven main loop overhead
+- **Build Complexity**: Multiple extension modules to compile
+- **Platform Support**: Need wheels for many platform/Python combinations
+- **API Stability**: Would need careful design to maintain compatibility
+
+### Example Usage (Future Vision)
+
+```python
+import mcrfpy
+from mcrfpy import Scene, Frame, Sprite, Grid
+
+# Create game directly in Python
+game = mcrfpy.Game(width=1024, height=768)
+
+# Define scenes using Python classes
+class MainMenu(Scene):
+    def on_enter(self):
+        self.ui.append(Frame(100, 100, 200, 50))
+        self.ui.append(Sprite("logo.png", x=400, y=100))
+
+    def on_keypress(self, key, pressed):
+        if key == "ENTER" and pressed:
+            self.game.set_scene("game")
+
+# Run the game
+game.add_scene("menu", MainMenu())
+game.run()
+```
+
+This architecture would make McRogueFace a first-class Python citizen, following standard Python packaging conventions while maintaining high performance through C++ extensions.
