Polish the bear's thank-you ending screen; add a video debug command

- The finish screen's continue button now reads "Play Again" and starts
  a fresh run instead of "Continue"-ing to a lobby gate that no longer
  exists past the run's last fight.
- The "Your Time" readout moves from the top (overlapping the bull in
  thankyou.ogv) to just under the clip's own baked title, restyled to
  match its flat dark-ink look instead of the gold HUD outline, and
  pulses on the same ~1.4s breathing cycle sampled off the source clip
  so it reads as part of the poster rather than a readout stamped on it.
- Added a `video <win|loss|finish>` debug console command to preview
  any outcome screen without playing through a fight, via a new
  hud.gd debug entry point (`debug_force_outcome`).
- Dropped the console's per-frame "focus stolen by ... — reclaiming"
  log line — its own comment flagged it as temporary diagnostic
  instrumentation, and it fired on every console open.

+# Bullosseum — CLAUDE.md
+
+## About this project
+
+A 3D arena game built in Godot 4.7 (Forward Plus renderer, Jolt Physics) where the player controls a bull. Currently features third-person camera, bull movement with charge mechanics, and a placeholder arena.
+
+## AI role
+
+I am a **Godot 4.6+ expert**. I follow current best practices for GDScript, scene architecture, physics, and performance. If a question suggests a suboptimal approach — wrong node type, unnecessary complexity, a pattern that fights the engine — I will say so and explain the better alternative before implementing anything.
+
+## Project structure
+
+Files are grouped by **role**, not by type. Scripts and scenes are `snake_case`;
+`PascalCase` is reserved for `class_name` identifiers (this avoids case-insensitive
+filesystem aliasing on the web/macOS targets).
+

+```
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `levels/game_shell.tscn` | The reusable **shell** loaded for every level: player, camera, HUD, PS1 filter, and an empty `LevelRoot`. Its `game_shell.gd` instances the active level's module into `LevelRoot` at runtime |
+| `levels/` | The level system: per-level module scenes plus the code that defines, loads and sequences them (see rows below) |
+| `levels/game_shell.gd` | Shell controller — on load, frees any current level module and instances `Run.active_level().level_scene` into `LevelRoot`. Swapping the whole subtree (never hiding it) is what keeps one level's meshes/colliders/spawners from leaking into the next |
+| `levels/arena_level.tscn` | The arena **level module**: floor + wall colliders, arena meshes, `MatadorSpawner` (with child `Node3D` spawn points placed by the designer), lighting, audience (`PublikNode`). Instanced into the shell's `LevelRoot` |
+| `levels/bear_level.tscn` | The Bear's Den **level module**: bear-arena mesh, its own floor collider, lighting, and a `BearSpawner` (`bear_spawn.gd`) that places the bear at center. Instanced into the shell's `LevelRoot` |
+| `actors/player/player.tscn` | Player scene root (`CharacterBody3D`) |
+| `actors/player/player.gd` | Movement, charge, turning, and abilities (kick/dash/slam/roll). Ability & movement particle FX are **not** built here — they're authored scenes in `systems/fx/` (`bull_*.tscn`), fired via `Fx.spawn()` (one-shots) / `Fx.attach()` (continuous) |
+| `actors/player/bull_impact_fx.gd` | Bull's coded, non-particle impact FX (the slam shockwave rings + kick flash-pop — tweened meshes, not CPUParticles3D, so they can't be `systems/fx/` scenes). Created by `player.gd` |
+| `actors/player/bull_legs.gd` | Bull body-wobble + tail Verlet-chain simulation. Created by `player.gd` |
+| `camera_spring_arm.gd` | Mouse-look pivot (`Node3D` + `SpringArm3D`) |
+| `camera_follow.gd` | Smooth camera follow (`Camera3D`) |
+| `actors/matador/matador.gd` | Matador AI (wander / ragdoll state machine) |
+| `levels/matador_spawn.gd` | Arena spawner — one matador per designer-placed child `Node3D` spawn point (each enters with a jump-roll toward center); falls back to a programmatic spread if no spawn points are present. Also handles the split-on-death hydra logic |
+| `levels/bear_spawn.gd` | Bear-level spawner — instantiates `enemy_scene` at the arena center; emits the same `all_defeated` / `matador_killed` signals as `matador_spawn.gd` |
+| `actors/bear/bear.tscn` / `actors/bear/bear.gd` | Dark-Souls-style bear boss (`CharacterBody3D`). Routine state machine (wind-up → active → recovery) picking telegraphed moves by range band: Double Swipe / Overhead Smash (close), Leap Slam (mid-far), plus Stalk (2-leg walk-in) / Prowl (4-leg lope) positioning. Melee steps in during the swing (`bear_lunge_speed`) + tracks the bull; the leap is frame-synced to JUMP_SMASH so the paws hit ground on the impact frame (`bear_leap_impact_frame`); slams kick up dust + shake. Combos chain, hyper-armour mid-swing + poise (`bear_stagger_cd`), phase 2 enrage under `bear_enrage_frac` HP. Never damages the bull by colliding — only swings/slams. A horns-first bull charge wounds it (`_sweep_bull_ram`: swept prev→now so a tunnelling/point-blank charge still lands, gated by `bear_ram_reach` + `bull_gore_arc`, edge-triggered = one charge per wound). Joins `&"matador"` so bull abilities already hit it. Tuning under the `Bear` DP section |
+| `actors/bear/bear_attack_hitboxes.tscn` | The bear's attack colliders as a self-contained sub-scene (instanced under `bear_model`): a `LeapSlamHitbox` (Hitbox + cylinder = ground circle) and `SmashHitbox` (Hitbox + box = forward shockwave lane), plus an `AnimationPlayer` whose `leap_slam` / `smash_travel` clips author each collider's size + travel — scrub to tweak, like `Bear_FX`. `actors/bear/bear.gd` only fires the clip, arms the knock-up shaping, and sweeps for overlaps while it runs (see `_setup_attack_hitboxes` / `_start_attack_hitbox`) |
+| `actors/matador/sword.tscn` / `systems/combat/hitbox.gd` | The matador's sword wrapper (glb + editor-tweakable `BladeHitbox`). `systems/combat/hitbox.gd` (`class_name Hitbox`, Area3D) is the shared attack collider: `activate()`/`deactivate()` gate an active window, `sweep()` catches bodies already inside (AoE), and knock-up can ramp by distance (`knock_up_min_dist`/`_max_dist`) for the bear's outer-ring launch / further-hit-flies-higher |
+| `levels/run_state.gd` | Run progression autoload (`Run`) — the lobby hub and which level is being fought, across scene reloads |
+| `levels/level_def.gd` | `LevelDef` resource — a level's name / `scene_path` (always the shell) / `level_scene` (the level module instanced into the shell) / optional `enemy_scene` (arena wave vs. a boss like the bear) |
+| `systems/crowd/crowd_marker.gd` | `CrowdMarker` (`@tool Node3D`, `class_name`) — designer drops one per billboard spectator via the editor's Add-Node dialog; picks one of six 60°-spaced facings from the `orientation` dropdown. Draws an editor-only preview (slab + forward arrow, never serialised) and joins the `&"crowd_marker"` group |
+| `systems/crowd/crowd_billboards.gd` / `systems/crowd/crowd_billboard.gdshader` | `MultiMeshInstance3D` that harvests every `CrowdMarker` (group `&"crowd_marker"`) into one draw call, using each marker's world position + chosen facing. Front/back sprite sheet baked by `tools/bake_crowd_sheet.gd`; falls back to a generated inward-facing ring when no markers are placed |
+| `systems/debug/debug_params.gd` | Runtime-tunable parameter registry (autoload `DP`). Mobile-relevant flags: `force_touch_controls`, `touch_debug` (also enabled on-device with `?debug=1` in the page URL — shows the live profiler overlay in `systems/input/touch_controls.gd`), and `use_rigid_skin` (default **off** — native GPU skinning everywhere now that the 4.7 web templates fixed the Mali/ANGLE invisible-skinning bug; `systems/render/rigid_skin.gd` is a retained opt-in fallback). Rigid-skin is gated through `Controls.rigid_skin_enabled()`, which a page URL param overrides for on-device A/B with no console: `?skin=1` forces the workaround on (for a device where native skinning still fails), `?noskin=1` forces native off. Turning the workaround off also removes its per-spawn SurfaceTool rebuild, which was the arena's matador-spawn lag |
+| `systems/input/touch_controls.gd` | On-screen thumb UI for touch/web (`CanvasLayer`, instanced by `ui/hud.gd`, self-gating on `Controls.use_touch_ui()`): a floating left-side joystick feeding the `move_*` actions + a right-side ability cluster, drawn/hit-tested in one IGNORE-filtered Control from raw `_input()`. The joystick self-heals — the latest left-zone touch re-acquires it (`_stick_index`), and a relayout / focus-out / vanished touch resets state so a dropped touchend can't strand a stuck stick. Ability buttons use grown hit-rects + a press flash. `_draw_debug()` (gated on `Controls.debug_overlay()` — DP `touch_debug` or `?debug=1`) is a live on-device profiler reading Godot's `Performance` monitors: FPS/frame-ms with a bottleneck verdict, `process`(main-thread GDScript) vs `physics`(ragdoll/Jolt) ms with 2 s peak-hold, draw calls/objects/primitives, node count, render resolution, and `crossOriginIsolated` — so a lag spike is pinned to CPU-script vs CPU-physics vs GPU-fill instead of guessed |
+| `ui/web_start_gate.gd` | Autoload `WebStartGate` — "TAP TO PLAY" panel shown on web+touch before play; the tap drives `Controls.request_fullscreen_landscape()` so the fullscreen/orientation churn happens with no in-flight touch to lose. Re-armable: polls browser fullscreen state and returns if the player leaves it (iPhone Safari can't fullscreen, so it stops nagging once a request never takes) |
+| `ui/mobile_hud.gd` | Mobile-only health readouts (`CanvasLayer`, instanced by `ui/hud.gd` only on touch): big bull pip row top-left + a Souls-style bear boss bar top-centre (discovered via group `&"bear"`, tracks `health_changed`). The desktop bottom pip cluster is hidden on touch |
+| `ui/orientation_guard.gd` | Autoload `OrientationGuard` — full-screen "rotate your device" prompt shown on touch devices while portrait |
+| `art/` | All raw art, grouped by role (`characters/ levels/ weapons/ fx/ anim/ textures/ ui/ icons/ fonts/`). GLBs use **Extract Textures** import, so their embedded textures land beside them (e.g. `art/levels/arena_*.png`) named from the GLB — expected, keep them tracked |
+| `art/blender/` | Blender source files, animation scripts, FBX exports (Godot-ignored via `.gdignore`) |
+| `art/blender/create_matador_anims.py` | Creates walk + idle animations and exports FBX |
+| `art/blender/render_anim_preview.py` | Renders animation preview PNGs for visual verification |
+| `art/blender/preview/` | Output directory for animation preview images |
+| `tests/` | Headless test scripts (screenshot capture, logic validation) |
+| `addons/rider-plugin/` | JetBrains Rider IDE integration |
+
+## Tech choices
+
+- **Physics:** Jolt Physics (not the default Godot Physics)
+- **Renderer:** Forward Plus
+- **Input map:** WASD + arrow keys, Shift = charge, Space = jump, scroll = zoom, middle-click = toggle mouse capture
+- **IDE:** JetBrains Rider via the rider-plugin addon
+
+## GDScript conventions
+
+- Typed GDScript everywhere (`var x: float`, return types on functions)
+- `@onready` for node references; never `get_node()` strings when avoidable
+- Constants in `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE`, variables in `snake_case`
+- One script per scene root — keep scripts focused
+- Signal names in `snake_case`; connect via `signal.connect()` not the legacy string form
+- Prefer `_physics_process` for physics/movement, `_process` for visuals/camera, `_unhandled_input` for input that shouldn't bubble
+- No comments that restate what the code already says; only comment non-obvious constraints or workarounds
+
+## Best practices to enforce
+
+- Use `CharacterBody3D` for player-controlled characters, not `RigidBody3D` (unless the design specifically needs physics simulation)
+- Use `SpringArm3D` for third-person cameras to get free collision avoidance
+- Prefer `move_and_slide()` with `velocity` over manual collision queries
+- Export variables (`@export`) for any value a designer might tune; keep magic numbers out of logic
+- Scene composition over inheritance — build behaviour from small focused scenes
+- Use `autoload` (singletons) sparingly: only for truly global state (e.g. GameManager, AudioBus); not as a shortcut for passing data
+- Keep `_physics_process` deterministic and frame-rate independent (always multiply by `delta`)
+- Prefer signals over direct node references for decoupling
+
+## Animation & bone conventions
+
+### Blender rig (matador)
+- **Armature bones:** `matador` (root) → `COG` → `chest` → `head`, `collarbone_L/R` → `arm_L/R` → `forearm_L/R` → `hand_L/R`, `leg_L/R` → `shin_L/R` → `foot_L/R`
+- **Rotation mode:** All animated bones use **XYZ Euler** (set in `create_matador_anims.py`)
+- **Bone-local axes:** Swing (forward/back) is on **local X**. Arm lowering from T-pose is on **local Y** (positive = left arm down, negative = right arm down). Knee bend is **positive X** (shins only bend backward).
+- **Walk cycle:** 30 frames at 30 fps = 1 second loop. Legs swing ±25° X, knees bend 0–30° X (only when leg is back), arms swing ±15° X opposite phase to legs, arms lowered 55° Y from T-pose, elbows constant 25° X bend.
+- **Idle pose:** Arms lowered 55° Y, elbows 25° X, everything else at rest.
+
+### FBX export settings
+- `primary_bone_axis = 'Y'`, `secondary_bone_axis = 'X'`
+- `apply_scale_options = 'FBX_SCALE_ALL'`
+- `add_leaf_bones = False`
+- `bake_anim_use_all_actions = True`, `bake_anim_use_nla_strips = False`
+
+### Godot animation names
+After FBX import, animations appear as `Armature|walk` and `Armature|idle` in AnimationPlayer.
+
+### Verification workflow
+1. Edit bones/animations in Blender (`create_matador_anims.py`)
+2. Run render preview: `blender --background art/blender/matador.blend --python art/blender/render_anim_preview.py`
+3. Inspect PNGs in `art/blender/preview/` — check bone orientations **before** exporting to Godot
+4. Export FBX (done automatically by `create_matador_anims.py`)
+5. Re-import in Godot and test in-game

+```
+
+### Difficulty simulation (`tests/difficulty_sim.gd`)
+A balance tool, not a pass/fail test. It drives a kinematic "bot bull" against one
+real matador across behaviour profiles (CHARGER / KITER / PASSIVE) and reports the
+matador's win rate (how often it gores the bull). Use it to tune matador difficulty
+from data. The bot bull has NO abilities (it only kills by ramming), so it can't use
+roll/slam/kick — real skilled play beats the matador more than these numbers imply;
+read the rates as "how well the matador threatens each movement pattern." A rough
+target is CHARGER high (blind charging is punished), KITER moderate (throws are a
+dodgeable threat), PASSIVE high (standing still dies). Note: as a `--script` entry it
+reads the `DP` autoload via `/root/DP`, not the global identifier.
+
+### What the gameplay test catches
+| Check | What it detects |
+|---|---|
+| Tail Verlet chain spread | Tail bunching — consecutive nodes collapsed to same position |
+| Ragdoll bone positions finite + within 15 m | Matador limbs exploding after ragdoll impulse |
+| Ragdoll Y position > −10 | Bones falling through the floor |
+| Frame strip (visual, manual) | Leg IK quality, animation glitches, anything that looks wrong in motion |
+
+Headless screenshots will be blank (Forward Plus has no display). Run without `--headless` to get real frame strips.
+
+### What the performance test catches
+Loads the full scene with `STRESS_MATADORS` (20) matadors, samples per-frame time
+during normal play and during a mass-ragdoll spike, and fails if the average
+exceeds 16 ms or any single frame exceeds 100 ms. Budgets are generous regression
+guards (not a target frame rate); the measured avg/peak/fps print every run so a
+gradual creep shows up before it trips the ceiling.
+
+## Godot 4.x specifics
+
+- `wrapf` / `wrap` instead of manual modulo for angles
+- `lerp_angle` for smooth rotation interpolation (handles wrap-around correctly)
+- `move_toward` for speed ramps without overshooting
+- `PackedStringArray`, `PackedVector3Array`, etc. for performance-sensitive arrays
+- `@tool` scripts for editor helpers only — don't use in gameplay scripts
+- Resource (`extends Resource`) for shared data/config; no plain `Dictionary` for structured data
+- `StringName` (`&"action_name"`) for input action lookups in hot paths

+# Bullosseum — Game Design Document
+
+> Living document. `?` marks open questions.
+
+---
+
+## Elevator Pitch
+
+You are the bull. Waves of cowboys, matadors, and gladiators pour into your arena — each with their own tricks to dodge or counter your charge. Survive, wreck things, pick upgrades. Every run is different. Goofy low-poly mayhem.
+
+---
+
+## Art Direction
+
+- **Style:** Low-poly, chunky geometry, flat or minimal shading
+- **Tone:** Goofy and physical — think *Gang Beasts* meets *Vampire Survivors* energy
+- **Camera:** Third-person, spring-arm collision avoidance
+- **Palette:** Warm sand/terracotta arena, vivid faction colours (red/gold for matadors, brown/blue for cowboys, iron/purple for gladiators)
+- **Particles:** Stylised cartoon puffs — dust, impact sparks, ragdoll stars
+- **Audio direction:** ?
+
+---
+
+## Confirmed Mechanics
+
+- Third-person bull locomotion with momentum (walk, charge)
+- Wide committed turning arc during charge — charges feel like commitments
+- Visual turn lag (body leans)
+- Spring-arm camera with zoom
+- Sand dust particles at hooves (walk = small, charge = big)
+- Jolt Physics backend
+
+---
+
+## Run Structure (Vampire Survivors-inspired)
+
+```
+Start run → Wave spawns → Kill enemies → Wave cleared → Pick upgrade → Next wave → ... → Die or achieve target
+```
+
+- **No hard time limit per wave** — pressure comes from enemy density escalating
+- **Upgrade picks between waves** — choose 1 of 3 options (stat, ability, passive synergy)
+- **Fail state is soft** — getting overwhelmed is a death spiral, not a timeout. You stop being able to charge effectively and get cornered
+- **Run length:** ? (15–25 minutes for a full run feels right for web)
+- **Meta progression:** ? Unlock new starting abilities or bull cosmetics across runs
+
+### Wave Escalation — Faction Ramp
+
+Factions are introduced one at a time so each mechanic gets space to teach itself before mixing begins.
+
+| Waves | Faction makeup | Boss |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1–3 | Matadors only | — |
+| 4 | Matadors only | El Presidente |
+| 5–7 | Matadors + Cowboys introduced | — |
+| 8 | Mixed (matadors + cowboys) | Sheriff |
+| 9–11 | All three factions introduced | — |
+| 12 | Mixed (all three) | Centurion |
+| 13+ | Full chaos — all factions, escalating density | Repeat bosses + ? final boss |
+
+- Each new faction's first wave is a "pure" wave so the player can learn the pattern before it mixes
+- Bosses appear solo — the arena clears before a boss spawns, making it feel like a duel
+- ? After wave 12, does a loop begin (harder repeat) or does a final boss end the run?
+
+---
+
+## Enemy Factions
+
+### Matadors (the classics)
+The trickiest faction — they're designed around baiting your charge.
+
+| Enemy | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| Matador | Waves red cape to draw your charge, sidesteps at last moment. Must catch them off-guard or predict the dodge |
+| Banderillero | Plants slow-flags in the ground — charges into one stuns the bull briefly |
+| Picador | Mounted on horse, tanky, slow. Horse must be hit first before the rider is vulnerable |
+| ? El Presidente (boss) | Summons matadors and teleports around the arena in bursts |
+
+### Cowboys
+The herd faction — individually easy, dangerous in groups.
+
+| Enemy | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| Cowboy | Throws lasso to root you for 1–2s, then runs. Easy to hit, just annoying |
+| Wrangler | Herds other enemies toward you — a force multiplier |
+| Mounted Cowboy | Circles you on horseback, throwing dynamite. Must cut off the riding arc |
+| ? Sheriff (boss) | Shotgun blast that staggers the bull; spawns deputies on death |
+
+### Gladiators
+The armour faction — charge angles matter.
+
+| Enemy | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| Legionary | Front shield absorbs charges completely. Must hit from the side or behind |
+| Net-thrower | Long-range root that holds you in place for 3s |
+| Archer | Stationary on elevated platform (arena wall edge), fires slowing arrows |
+| ? Centurion (boss) | Buffs nearby gladiators, has a charge-reflect shield that bounces you back |
+
+---
+
+## Ability System
+
+Three slots total — always the same structure, filled differently every run.
+
+```
+[Charge ──────────] [Medium  □] [Ultimate  □]
+   always on           1 slot      1 slot
+```
+
+### Slot 1 — Charge (always on)
+| | Description |
+|---|---|
+| **Charge** | Hold to build, release to sprint. Committed arc, hard to steer. The foundation everything else is built around |
+
+### Slot 2 — Medium Ability
+Cooldown ~8–15s. Tactical, reactive, fills gaps that charge can't. One equipped at a time.
+
+| Ability | Description | Good against |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Stomp** | Slam front hooves — short-range AoE stun | Matador clusters, anything close |
+| **Gore** | Upward headbutt — launches a single target | Shielded gladiators (bypasses front shield) |
+| **Tail Whip** | 360° sweep behind and to the sides | Cowboys lassooing from behind |
+| **Bull Roar** | Knockback shockwave — no damage, pure space creation | Net-throwers, tight groups |
+| **Ground Pound** | From a jump, landing creates a shockwave crater | Mounted enemies (dismounts them) |
+| **Counter** | Narrow window — if you charge as an attack lands, explosive ricochet | Picadors, centurion reflect |
+
+### Slot 3 — Ultimate Ability
+Cooldown ~35–50s, or requires a full charge meter. High impact. One equipped at a time.
+
+| Ability | Description | Good against |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Stampede** | ~5s of zero deceleration — can't stop or steer well, flattens everything in the path | Boss phases, dense waves |
+| **Enrage** | ~8s berserk: charge speed +60%, hitbox wider, ignores all slows and roots | Lasso/net-heavy waves |
+| **Red Mist** | Every enemy on screen gets a red target marker and is pulled slightly toward you — brief guaranteed hits | Matador dodge phase |
+| **Thunder Horn** | Next charge is electrified — chains damage to up to 4 nearby enemies on contact | Gladiator formations |
+| **Call of the Herd** | Summon 3 ghost bulls that charge in parallel alongside you for 6s | Any — pure chaos |
+
+### Card Pick Screen (between every wave)
+Game pauses. Three cards shown — pick one.
+
+| Card type | Examples |
+|---|---|
+| **New medium** | Swap current medium for a different one |
+| **New ultimate** | Swap current ultimate for a different one |
+| **Stat boost** | +charge speed, +turn rate, −medium cooldown, −ultimate cooldown |
+| **Passive modifier** | Changes how your *current* ability behaves (see below) |
+| **Synergy** | Unlocks a cross-ability combo effect |
+
+**Passive modifier examples:**
+- Stomp → "Dust Blind" — stun cloud also blocks enemy vision for 2s
+- Gore → "Pinball" — launched enemy bounces off walls and damages others on landing
+- Stampede → "Aftershock" — leaves a trembling ground trail that slows enemies for 5s
+- Enrage → "Bloodlust" — kills during enrage reduce remaining cooldown
+
+**Synergy examples:**
+- Charge + Stomp = "Seismic Run" — charging for 2s+ turns your next stomp into a ground wave
+- Gore + Thunder Horn = "Lightning Rod" — electrified gore sends a chain to the whole group
+- ? Others to discover during design
+
+---
+
+## Arena Design
+
+Each faction maps to an arena environment. Mixed-faction waves could transition the arena or blend themes.
+
+| Faction | Arena | Hazards |
+|---|---|---|
+| Matadors | Sand bullring, wooden barrier ring | Flags slow movement, open centre is the danger zone |
+| Cowboys | Frontier rodeo grounds, hay bales, fences | Lasso posts (rope traps), horse stampede lanes |
+| Gladiators | Roman colosseum, stone floor, iron gates | Archer towers on walls, spike traps, wet stone (slide) |
+
+- ? Does the arena change mid-run or is one arena selected at run start?
+- ? Destructible fence/barrier sections throughout?
+
+---
+
+## Core Loop Revisited
+
+```
+Move → Spot threat pattern → Position approach angle → Charge/Ability → Chain hits → Wave clear
+         ↑                                                                                  ↓
+    Dodge/react to debuffs (lasso, net, slow-flag)                            Pick upgrade (1 of 3)
+```
+
+The **positioning** step is where skill expression lives: which enemy to hit first, what angle to approach a shielded gladiator, whether to charge the matador or fake him out.
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Meta progression** — cosmetic unlocks only, or do you unlock new starting medium/ultimate options across runs?
+2. **Arena change** — single arena per run, or does the arena theme shift when a new faction is introduced mid-run?
+3. **After wave 12** — infinite loop with scaling difficulty, or a final boss that ends the run cleanly?
+4. **Ability replacement** — when you pick a new medium/ultimate card, does it always replace the slot, or can you upgrade an existing ability through repeated picks (level 1→2→3)?
+5. **Web scope** — vertical slice (matadors only, 4 waves, one ability tree) or full 12-wave game?
+
+---

+# Contribution
+
+Hello, thanks for taking time and helping out with the addon!
+
+Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution. Please sign the CLA before sending the PR: https://www.jetbrains.com/agreements/cla/.
+
+#### Local setup
+
+Open the `godot-editor-plugin/CMakeLists.txt` in Rider 2026.1+, select `rider-gdextension` target in the run configuration selector.
+There are some more fixes coming in 2026.2, which will allow working on gdscript and cpp files within the same workspace.
+
+#### Signing the binaries
+
+Plugin binaries need to be signed to comply with modern operating system security requirements. Unsigned dynamic libraries may fail to load or trigger security warnings:
+
+- **macOS**: Requires code signing (and often notarization) for `.dylib` files. Unsigned libraries may simply fail to load.
+- **Windows**: SmartScreen may block unsigned binaries, and corporate environments often enforce signed code only.
+- **Linux**: Generally allows unsigned `.so` files, but some sandboxed environments (Flatpak, Snap) impose restrictions.
+
+**How signing is implemented:**
+
+1. **TeamCity Configuration**: [ijplatform_master_Net_Deploy_Plugins_Public_Godot](https://buildserver.labs.intellij.net/buildConfiguration/ijplatform_master_Net_Deploy_Plugins_Public_Godot) (internal JetBrains link)
+   - Note: The automatic trigger on new tags is currently not working, so manual triggering is required.
+
+2. **Release Process**:
+   - First, use your GitHub Action to prepare a **pre-release** with a tag
+   - Manually trigger the TeamCity configuration on the necessary branch/tag
+   - The configuration will download assets, sign them, and upload them back (removing the pre-release flag)
+   - The pre-release flag is required at the start; otherwise, the signing configuration will skip the release (protection against double signing)
+
+3. **Signing existing releases**:
+   - You can run signing on already existing old releases/tags
+   - Mark them as pre-release first, then run the configuration on the necessary tag

+# JetBrains Rider Integration – Godot addon
+
+This addon currently provides two features:
+1. Finds all Rider installations in the system and provides a selector on the `Text Editor` -> `External` tab in the settings to select one.
+2. Provides the "Use Rider" toggle in the Godot toolbar and, when enabled, applies a set of editor settings recommended for working with JetBrains Rider. The goal is to make it trivial to switch between Rider‑optimized settings and stock Godot settings with a single click.
+
+## Quick start
+
+Requirements:
+- Godot 4.2.2+
+
+Install:
+1. Inside the Godot editor, it can be installed from the AssetLib view or [downloaded](https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/4576)
+2. [Optional] Change the initial value of `active` in the plugin.cfg
+3. [Optional] Change the initial values in the presets.json file.
+4. Enable "JetBrains Rider External Editor" plugin in the Project → Project Settings… → Plugins tab.
+
+Use:
+- A toolbar toggle named "Use Rider" will appear. Click it to turn the preset On/Off.
+
+Screenshot:
+![Toolbar toggle](screenshots/Toolbar.png)
+
+## What the toggle changes
+
+The preset values live in `presets.json`.
+
+When ON:
+- Write the values from the "on" preset into the Editor Settings.
+
+When OFF:
+- Write the values from the "off" preset into the Editor Settings.
+
+Note: The plugin does not currently auto‑set Rider’s executable path or flags. See Plans below.
+
+## Setting Rider to be the external editor
+
+The plugin automatically detects installed Rider versions on your system and provides a convenient dropdown menu to
+select which installation to use as your external editor.
+
+- The plugin scans common installation locations for Rider on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
+- Detected installations appear in the "Select Rider" dropdown in the toolbar.
+- When you select a Rider installation, the plugin automatically updates the `dotnet/editor/external_editor_path` editor
+  setting.
