#166-#173: plainer words, a point to shoot at, and a catalog that says when it is broken
Eight tickets. The last one is the interesting one. #166 - PLAINER DIALOG. Every spoken line rewritten: the nine prologue lines and all twenty quest brief/done pairs. Mostly splitting em-dash subclauses into sentences and dropping the literary register ("hulls" -> "ships", "That is our hands back" -> "That frees us for other work"). Same meaning, same voice. #167 - NOTHING ANNOUNCED TWICE. Quests carry an `important` flag; seven of the twenty have it, and they are the search for the World Ship. A quest handed out with its goal ALREADY met is now credited in silence unless it is one of those - no brief, no answer, both signals still fired and the index still moved, so it appears ticked in the objectives panel. The chain used to stop the game to set a task the player had already done, then stop it again to congratulate them on it. #168 - THE KEYBOARD CAN ANSWER A DIALOG. The rule the ticket asks for (still arriving, show it all; already whole, move on) was already the rule for a click since #149, but a key press reached the banner and did nothing - and this game is played with WASD and a mouse. Touch, click and key now go through one door. Modifiers alone and auto-repeat echoes are not presses. #169 - A LOADING SCREEN. A press raises a cover, and the load happens after it has been on screen for a frame, so the wait is something the player is watching. Deliberately still a blocking load: load_threaded_request() comes back FAILED for these scenes, reporting text-parse errors that load() does not produce, because the global class names and preloads they reach each other through are not resolvable off the loading thread. A progress bar is not worth a menu that sometimes refuses to start the game, and the web build ships with thread support off anyway. Further presses while loading are ignored - on the web a button fires on PRESS, so an impatient double tap costs nothing to make and used to build the world twice. #170 - THE PICTURE BEFORE THE CAPTION. The prologue's first line was up before the scene had finished arriving, so the game opened STOPPED (#128) over a convoy nobody had seen yet. It flies for three seconds first. #171 - THE CONTROLS FOLLOW WHAT IS BEING HELD. is_touchscreen_available() asks whether a touch COULD arrive, and in a browser that is yes on any laptop whose panel reports touch support - so the web build put thumb sticks over a screen being played with a mouse, and switched mouse aiming off on the machine it exists for. The reading is now the last input actually used, it lives in GameState so the sticks and the guns cannot disagree, and it is two-way: nothing can strand a tablet, because the gesture that needs the controls is the gesture that brings them back. A touch suppresses mouse evidence for a second, so the click Godot manufactures out of a tap is not mistaken for a mouse. #172 - AIM AT A PLACE. Every gun was handed the same direction, so a fleet firing at something threw a sheet of parallel bolts past either side of it and only the middle hull could hit - worse the wider the formation. Guns now take a POINT and each hull works out its own heading to it, so the fleet's fire converges. The mouse already had a place and was flattening it into a bearing; a pushed stick names the point at the guns' reach along it, so touch loses nothing. The assist (#89) still bends a shot onto an enemy, now per hull and around that hull's own heading. The aim guide stops at the point and marks it. #173 - AND THE ONE THAT EXPLAINS ITSELF. "In the web export version the fleet can not store any resources" is not a web bug. It is the third time the Godot editor's .tres writer has quietly dropped a property it thought was default-valued: InterceptorVesselDefinition losing `capabilities` leaves cargo_capacity at 20 and takes away the "cargo" claim that fleet_cargo_capacity() actually gates on, so the hold is zero and nothing can be mined or carried. That is the symptom, word for word. test_definitions_intact caught it in the suite. What it could not do is catch it in a BUILD - an export is taken from the working tree at whatever moment the editor last touched it, which is exactly when the damage is done and exactly where nobody is running tests. The checks move to core/CatalogCheck.gd and now run at startup in every build as well as in the test, from the same function. On the web push_error lands in the on-page log web_shell.html mirrors, which is the only error a phone can read. The tree is intact today, so a fresh export should restore the hold. The point of the change is that the next time it is not, the build says so. Full suite green at 154/154.

#89: the default gun bends onto a target near the aimed heading
Aiming with a thumb on a stick is never exact, and at 950 units a couple of degrees is a long miss. A shot fired roughly toward an enemy now goes at it. 28 degrees of cone, chosen so that pointing at something hits it while the shot still visibly goes where the player pointed. Past about 45 the gun starts picking its own targets, which is the behaviour #80 deliberately removed. Enemies only, never asteroids. Snapping onto a rock while the player is trying to hit the thing shooting at them would be the assist working against them, and rocks are large and stationary enough to hit on purpose. The aim guide is drawn through the SAME helper the gun fires through, so the dotted line bends with the shot. A guide showing the raw stick heading while the bolt took an assisted one would be the same class of mismatch #86 removed between the guide's length and a bolt's actual reach - and this one would have been harder to notice, because the line would look right most of the time. Range 620 -> 950, the other half of the ticket. Also swept the project root again: Godot keeps resurrecting pre-#84 copies of moved files there from its own cache. None this time. Suite 120/120.

#84: move 215 root files into a folder hierarchy
Everything lived in one flat directory, so a diff gave no clue what area it touched and finding the file you wanted meant knowing its exact name. Twelve folders now, grouped by what a thing IS rather than what type it is - a vessel's definition, its component scenes and its upgrade resources sit together, because that is the set you read when you change one of them. buildings core controllers enemies logistics planets resources shaders surface ui vessels vfx world 332 files moved and every res:// reference rewritten - 306 files touched, including the autoload and main-scene paths in project.godot. Nothing renamed: this is purely where files sit, so the diff is a pile of pure moves and no behaviour is buried in it. ui_theme.tres, icon.svg and web_shell.html stay at the root, where Godot and the export preset expect them. Verified three ways, because a suite alone would not have caught all of it: the full 117 pass, the web export builds clean, and the game renders. The export is why that matters. The FIRST export after the move failed with "Attempt to open script 'res://GameState.gd'" - the old path - while project.godot on disk plainly said res://core/GameState.gd. That is this project's documented Android FUSE mtime trap: Godot served a cached copy of a file whose content had changed. A `touch` fixed it. Nothing in the test suite would have found that, because the suite runs from a copy on a native filesystem - the one place the bug cannot happen.
