S3-007: Publish versioned rules and content catalogs

Parent and ownership

Parent epic: https://github.com/stacksjs/the-settlers-iii-remake/issues/5 Source owner: stacksjs/the-settlers-iii-remake. Master roadmap: https://github.com/stacksjs/the-settlers-iii-remake/issues/4.

Problem and observable result

Generate catalogs from verified evidence. Retain original identifiers and content digests. Reject missing or contradictory definitions.

The current application is a browser prototype. Passing the Riverlands campaign does not establish original-game or native parity. This issue is complete only when its stated behavior has retained evidence.

Evidence and interfaces

Verified source observations and decoded content enter immutable, versioned catalogs. Distinguish original facts, reference-remake behavior, and engineering decisions.

Pin the inspected revisions and fixture hashes in the implementation evidence. Original-game observations govern rules and timing. JSettlers is implementation evidence, not an authoritative balance specification. Unknown values remain explicitly unverified.

Acceptance criteria

  • Generate catalogs from verified evidence.
  • Retain original identifiers and content digests.
  • Reject missing or contradictory definitions.
  • The visible result agrees with the underlying simulation or platform state, including failure paths.
  • Tests exercise the maintained public interface and retain reproducible fixtures or execution receipts.

Test matrix

  • Regenerate identical catalogs.
  • Detect incompatible rules and missing assets.
  • Exercise invalid input, cancellation or interruption, and repeated execution where this interface permits them.
  • Verify determinism/conservation for simulation changes and resource ownership/disposal for platform changes.
  • Run owning-repository lint, relevant type checks and tests. Capture actual native output for native capability claims.

Scope constraints

Implement this behavior as a complete verifiable slice. Do not silently expand into adjacent tickets or substitute simplified gameplay. Keep the shared TypeScript simulation, shared stx signals, and ts-css conventions. Native gameplay and HUD must not depend on a WebView. HomeOS reuse must not introduce a kernel dependency into the game. Existing unrelated edits and authored guidance must be preserved.

Blocked by

Upstream release and adoption

Application behavior belongs here. If a reproduction identifies a framework defect, repair and release its owning source first, update Stacks where affected, then install the verified packages here.

No node_modules edits, copied runtimes, generated-source string patches, fabricated globals, successful no-op implementations, or skipped release gates. Push tested conventional commits as Chris to the owning origin/main without coauthor trailers or force pushes.

Completion evidence

  • Implementation commits and relevant upstream issue links.
  • Exact checks and results, fixture hashes, and screenshots/native execution evidence where applicable.
  • Published package versions, downstream lockfile identity, and release receipts when affected.
  • Remaining limitations stated explicitly. Partial work does not close this issue.

Progress: versioned rules catalog infrastructure (still open)

The engine now consumes a versioned rules profile with a per-value evidence ledger (resources/game/engine/rules.ts): validateRules() rejects duplicate, dangling and contradictory definitions and values without evidence; rulesIdentity() gives an id, version and SHA-256 digest that saves and replays carry; an original profile cannot contain U or E values; qualificationGaps() lists what blocks release. Roman costs (cross-checked against the reference definitions), doorstep and storage capacities, tool pairings, construction-first delivery, preferred meals and the half demolition refund are recorded as manual candidates with pinned file hashes and section anchors. Building geometry is generated from the pinned reference XML by scripts/reference-geometry.ts with per-file hashes.

Still needed for this issue: generation from verified observations (S3-002) and decoded content (S3-004..006), and a ruling on the barracks cost discrepancy (new issue).

Evidence base for this update (all on main, authored as Chris):

  • 3ca4847 deterministic session, rules profile, routing, goods, carriers, construction, production, territory, visibility, saves and replays
  • da2a104 reference building geometry and the delivery livelock fix
  • b2efc1f the browser game on the engine, expanded original-media import
  • 7b1cc36 worlds from decoded original maps
  • a495e7a, 0a3ff46, 0e7889e, e5c1a53, f3b71ce, ed1dc8f controls, missions, render scene, save migration, checkpoints, audit and statistics

Checks: ./buddy lint (0 problems), bun run typecheck (app, tools, stx), ./buddy test --unit (106 tests, 0 failures), bun run assets:verify, bun run content:verify, and the production browser scenario. CI passed on 0e7889e and 9e2ba7c (which contains f3b71ce), including the production Chrome check.

Rule values are the roman-engineering 0.2.0 profile (resources/game/engine/rules.ts). Every value names its evidence class: manual candidates (M) from the pinned manual, reference-remake geometry (E), or placeholders (U) that name their owning issue. qualificationGaps() lists them and the profile cannot qualify a release. Adopting observed original values remains with S3-002/S3-007; nothing here is an original-executable observation.

The 0.14 Roman engineering profile now carries the complete source landscape catalog from #219. The 0.13 profile is retained as immutable data. Original-code admission, canonical terrain indices, actual terrain-changing commands, checksums, restores and replays were qualified together. This remains an engineering profile with explicitly unmeasured costs/timings, not a verified Gold ruleset.

Validation: full CI, 413 unit tests and all 16 browser suites. The original diagnostic artifact checksum and ZIP integrity were independently verified.
