The web export reached the main menu and went no further. Two separate bugs,
one hiding the other.
BUTTONS NEVER FIRED. A browser on a phone delivers the touch DOWN and never
the release. IconButton emits `pressed` only on release, deliberately, so
that dragging off cancels - so on the web it never emitted at all, on every
button in the game. fire_on_press (default OS.has_feature("web")) completes
the press there instead, and does not latch, since nothing is coming to
unlatch it. The cost is drag-off-to-cancel, which every other platform keeps.
Measured on the device rather than guessed: an on-screen probe reported
`touch=1 mouse=1 held=y` after one tap - one down, one emulated mouse down,
the button latched through ordinary GUI routing, then nothing.
THE ENGINE THEN TRAPPED. With the button working, pressing Play loaded and
built Main.tscn and the whole engine stopped mid-frame, page still alive.
An error overlay in a custom HTML shell finally showed why:
Uncaught RuntimeError: remainder by zero
An integer % 0. Wasm TRAPS on that; native builds silently tolerate it. So
the bug was equally present on Android and in all 100 tests, doing nothing
in both - which is why nothing runnable here could ever have caught it, and
why reasoning from frozen screenshots got nowhere for several rounds. Every
variable modulo is now guarded: the hangar grid's `i % columns`, planet
naming's `% names.size()`, and two in the map editor.
WHAT IS KEPT, AND WHY
- web_shell.html mirrors console errors onto the page, hidden until one
occurs. Godot's errors go to the browser console, which is unreachable on
a phone; this found in one shot what inference had failed to find all
evening. It costs nothing when there is nothing to report.
- MainMenu._start does load -> instantiate -> add_child by hand instead of
change_scene_to_file. That call does all three opaquely, so a failure is
indistinguishable from an unpressed button; split, each step reports.
- PlanetAtmosphereController defers the forced world populate out of the
frame that builds Main.tscn. It did not fix the hang - the trap did - but
25 chunks of asteroids and 49 of planets do not belong in the one frame
that already constructs 197 nodes, and nothing can paint until it ends.
Removed the direct-input-routing experiment and its test: it was written on
the theory that touches were not reaching Controls, which `held=y` later
disproved, and its set_input_as_handled() swallowed the very events the
probe was reading.
Full suite green at 100/100.

A fleet of neon-outlined ships explores a procedurally generated, seeded
infinite world: tap/joystick steering, pinch zoom, formation pivoting,
planet landings, an ore economy with extractors and haulers, and player
built structures (mothership, ship crafter, command centre).
All art is hand-drawn with draw_* calls rather than textures, and the
backgrounds are camera-relative shaders so they stay precise at large
world coordinates.
Includes a 35-test headless suite (tests/run_tests.sh) plus screenshot
tooling that renders real frames through Xvfb and Mesa softpipe, since
--headless has no GPU.
Excluded from version control: .godot/ (import cache, and it holds
export credentials), builds/, android/build/ and packaged APKs - all
regenerable, and ~325 MB combined.
