No runtime source edits or executable patches.

2026-10-12 09:44Z — introduction consumes character input

Main remote0304 unchanged; fork bx_yesd9e5h retains original source/layout. 0940Z Enter held11000-11500 still intro at16000,26.645s. 0942Z keypress32 at11000 advances to reviewed custom Warning:128.0MB free swap,at least200MB recommended. Use WM_CHAR/ordinary typed character for this intro; do not infer a keyboard-emulation failure from WM_KEYDOWN alone. 0944Z adds keypress32 at18000 to dismiss warning normally,26000batch/60s bounds. No global-memory API change or guest patch.

0944Z ordinary second Space dismisses the swap warning and enters calibration. 0945Z screenshots show steps2/3/4;0948Z grouped character events finish calibration and reach reviewed animated START/OPTIONS/LOAD/QUIT menu. Space at11000/18000, then27000/28000/29000/30000/31000; further Space 32000/33000 leaves main menu selected START. FirstTime configuration was not hand-edited; every transition came from ordinary character input. 0951Z adds Enter keydown/character at34000/34001,release34500 to activate START; bounded120s/50000batches. No gameplay claim until screenshot reviewed.

0951Z START via Enter key+character opens story selector.0954Z Down twice then Enter selects Volume3 Windy City Massacre and opens chapter selector. Final screenshot reviewed: Chapter1 selected, Chapter6 Crescent Theater is the demo chapter identified by original README. Next Down five times and Enter, then wait for actual world and verify arrows/draw/fire input. No gameplay yet. WM_CHAR Space, not VKEnter alone, advances intro/calibration pages.

0954Z --save-vfs-suffix=.ini exports guest settings under remote /home/user/nocturne-story/saved/system/nocturne.ini (copy saved-nocturne.ini retained with evidence). Inspect/use original guest-written state to avoid replaying calibration; no hand-written bypass. All runs use same module 5e8f1716...69a (main0304+pending Z16/Winsock+FMUL), not clean main. CLI run0954Z ends normally50000batches104.217s; no FPS inference. Old workers unchanged/completed; no new receipts. DR2 queued semantic command/selection comparison remains, no new conclusion from these tests.

2026-10-12 10:05Z — Chapter6 world loads

1001Z on bx_vhk6nrm7 selects Chapter6 via five Down keys42000..46000, then Enter47000/47001. selected.png reviewed correct Crescent Theater. Final55692batches/180.013s shows dark 320x320 rendered scene and character; no crash. This is world entry, NOT yet player-control verification. Next baseline checkpoint after scene load, ordinary Up movement/turn and D draw/Space fire; use original F11 gamma key if visibility needs it. All evidence collected before switching remote source back to pre-FMUL DR2 control; reapply462848051 for any exact Nocturne module replay.

2026-10-12 10:19Z — Ordinary walking verified

1015Z-nocturne-movement on bx_vhk6nrm7 rebuilds exact5e8f1716...69a. Same startup/chapter route. Before56000 and moved62500 reviewed: held Up58000->62000 moves character from left toward doorway. CLI ordinary walking is verified; final screenshot alone is not used as proof. F11 keydown56500/57000 produces no clear brightening; scene remains very dark. Stops normally at63083batches/270.014s, status0; right-turn keydown63000 just begins. Planned draw65000/fire66000/action69000 never execute. action.png is absent because its batch was never reached, not lost evidence. No weapon, audio or FPS claim. Build/command/environment/exit/log and selected/before/bright/moved/final collected. Initial restore transfer hit argument-size limit and scp API denied; chunked exec transfer succeeded, module hash verified before sole CLI run. No gameplay repeat for transfer. Next register local-only nocturne_demo route and validate ordinary browser walking, original brightness/calibration UX and weapon use. Source assets remain remote, local test/binaries/candidates/nocturne-demo/game absent.

2026-10-12 10:35Z — Registered browser walking and firing

Local-only registration6ec2393d9 pushed: app nocturne_demo, candidate nocturne-demo, original17files under game/ with System_Files/system kept as game/system. Arrow touch pad plus Fire/use, Draw, Jump, Confirm, Menu. Prepare and JS syntax/entry checks PASS; touch buttons not yet exercised.

1033Z-nocturne-browser-held on bx_n7d6u8rt, Chrome155.0.8059.39/WebGL/worker, COI true, exact module5e8f1716...69a. Ordinary Space clears startup and calibration.300ms key presses select Volume3/Chapter6; reviewed chapter, before, moved, action. Up4s displaces character; D then Space2s shows weapon HUD and muzzle flash. Browser walking/firing verified, no FPS/audio claim. Scene remains dark; brightness calibration and touch next.

1027Z first browser never launches guest: fork omitted build/wine-assembly.wasm and fallback compiler request HTTP404. Build restored and module hash checked; not a Nocturne runtime regression.1029Z built launch reaches menu but near-zero Enter press misses state polling, stays on Start; held300ms resolves. Original touch code already has minimum key hold for polled games, so no speculative input-engine patch added. All evidence collected. Result published only for 1033Z reviewed gameplay; main integration remains ops-owned.

2026-10-12 10:50Z — Actual touch gameplay verified

1046Z-nocturne-touch-prepared, bx_qbqexdmu, Chrome155,844x390 mobile touch emulation, exact5e8f1716 module. CDP actual touch only for startup/menu/play: Continue sends char32 (held Fire only emits key state); Confirm stays held for the touch duration. Pad300ms steps select Chapter6; Up4s visibly walks; Draw weapon and Fire/use2s shows muzzle flash. Reviewed chapter/before/moved/ action and all controls visible. Fix7e3ca695a on codex/dr2-registration. Physical devices/Safari, jump and menu return not qualified by this run.

Separate keyboard F11 held2s produces no obvious brightening. Readme confirms F11/F12 gamma controls, but one adjustment is not proof of a gamma defect. Next repeated discrete F11 inputs plus existing gamma API tracing; no shader or API patch without that evidence. WinePerf snapshot all zeros because the probe did not enable collection (default disabled); not zero game FPS. Next call WinePerf.start({draw:false}) before sampling; distinguish presentations from logical frames. Audio remains untested.

Fork preflight must ALWAYS copy preserved original fixture to registered game/, prepare candidate manifest, rebuild/check wasm hash, install Chrome.1042Z HTTP409 was missing test/binaries/candidates/nocturne-demo on fork; initial prepare failed same missing directory, copy from original extraction fixed it (prepare-fixed.log). Earlier build absence similarly excluded generated files. These are test setup failures, not guest compatibility regressions. All successful run artifacts collected; evidence containment check clean.

2026-10-12 11:33Z — Brightness works; presentation sample recorded

1126Z-nocturne-gamma-perf, bx_vf7q3q2j, exact5e8f1716, Chrome155 worker/ WebGL,844x390 mobile emulation, ordinary touch startup/walk/fire. Read-only gamma_ramp_gen/wa observed before/after10 discrete F11 and10 F12 keys (300ms down,200ms gap). All three generation/address0; selective gamma API tracing logs no matches. This does NOT imply brightness is broken. Reviewed bright10/dark10 and fixed static wall crop x200..579,y60..159: mean luminance1.745717->3.345841->1.745717. Original F11/F12 brightness therefore works without shared display-ramp updates; no gamma patch needed. Do not repeat the earlier inconclusive single-key brightness test.

WinePerf.start({draw:false}) before2s warmup, then touch fire2s/walk2s plus 6s observation. Presents30->180 over10.511285s =14.270377 presentations/s. Collector reports logicalFps:null: do not label the60Hz host animation loop or presentation rate as logical game FPS. Instrumented sample, no A/B or physical-device performance claim. Full snapshots/per-frame summary retained. No audio quality, real-device/Safari, jump or menu-return qualification yet. All artifacts collected; published reviewed evidence passes containment checks. Full fork preflight succeeded first try: original fixture copy, --prepare, rebuild/hash, Chrome install. Main0304 unchanged, integration ops-owned.

Integration reconciliation, 2026-10-13

Recovered from origin/codex/wsasocket-capability at 15b37458e during the release merge audit. The local-only registration and its required runtime fixes are now on main. Earlier statements that integration is pending describe the historical run, not the current branch. This recovery adds no fresh gameplay, audio, performance, Safari, or physical-device qualification; retain the recorded run IDs, module hashes, limitations, and failed attempts above.
