Restart checkpoint — 11 October 2026

The shutdown interrupted the final coordinated stop before the unified note was written. Work is preserved on codex/rust-rewrite; no game, Cargo, review helper or packaging shell process remained at recovery. The image-generation gate was paused with zero active leases, and has now been resumed. Recover each worker from its existing outputs before submitting another generation request.

Engine and package

• Last committed engine checkpoint: fdf2ff0, standalone RustRaptor, widescreen menus and always-4:3 original cinematics, including when gameplay stretching is selected. Fresh 1080p intro capture confirms black 240-pixel side borders.
• RustRaptor/bin/raptor-rust, lib/, data/ and dist/RustRaptor-linux-x86_64.zip exist. The latest snapshot includes all 6,449 original assets, 221 approved HD frames and 22 local mods. It was launched from a copied folder containing spaces, from /tmp, without Cargo.
• Before shutdown, 320 default tests, the complete 42-image menu/intro audit, separate cinematic aspect regression, mod/catalog/HD validation and copied 1280×800/1080p SDL/audio smoke checks passed. Later fixes require fresh checks.
• Uncommitted lightning weapon/API packages and terrain compositor improvements are preserved. Review and commit them separately; do not discard their work. The executable/package must be refreshed after source or accepted-art changes.

Next user fixes

1. Mod/save diagnostics: parent and selection are now preserved when details are reopened. The Escape regression passes; full screenshot audit is running.
2. Installed mod rows now stay in ID order through toggles and priority changes, with dependency and confirmation behavior preserved. Navigation tests pass.
3. Default Forward Guns still appear to miss miscellaneous buildings/cars. Expand actual original-content coverage beyond the earlier ten-unit test.

Root owns menu fixes. iron_coast_5 temporarily owns the ground-target diagnosis; its completed boss candidates and pending equipment review remain preserved.

HD state and owners

The original picture inventory is 5,753 IDs; 221 are registered and 5,532 remain unregistered. Existing raw candidates are not counted as accepted remasters. All original/generated base pixels and proof captures remain ignored; authored mod artwork and sound belong in Git.

Durable worker evidence

• data/hd/jobs/effects-10249-1024c/RESTART.md and adjacent checkpoint JSON: effect/projectile raw outputs, exact hashes, request outcomes and next tasks.
• .reference/hd-terrain-cross-review/restart-checkpoint.json: frozen terrain fix, 29 boss approvals, Mole9 hold and current portrait captures.
• .reference/hd-boss3-cross-review/shutdown-checkpoint.json: completed boss shard, exact equipment8 candidate hashes and unfinished review.
• data/hd/jobs/bosses-03-review-summary.json and bosses-03-owner-progress.json: all boss03 candidates and known caveats.
• Current source-bound candidates/provenance under data/hd/jobs/<job>/; lease history under data/hd/jobs/.imagegen-gate/.

Do not regenerate already-returned raw images, infer approval from validation, clear source-fidelity holds or reset the shared checkout. Follow the documented single-call gate lifecycle and refresh checkpoints before the next shutdown.
