EncounterTrigger.FindHostileTrigger now polls each tactical-mode
tick. Edge-detected by NPC actor id: a fresh hostile entering
ENCOUNTER_TRIGGER_TILES range fires the stub exactly once — console
log with name/allegiance/template, save-flash toast "Combat HUD
lands with M8 — encounter logged: {name}". Player keeps moving;
the same hostile won't re-fire until you've left the trigger ring
and come back.
Deviation from the M7 plan §6.6: the plan proposed autosaving on
hostile detect so M8 testing would have fresh combat starts. Wired
that, then walked into a wolf and got a respawn loop — SaveTo →
CaptureBody → _streamer.FlushAll evicts every loaded chunk → NPCs
respawn with fresh actor ids on the next tactical tick → fresh id
breaks edge detection → stub re-fires → autosave again → loop. The
visible symptom was grey untiled chunks and a screen-filling red
blob (an unscaled NPC marker on the spawn frame at zoom 32 renders
at ~307 screen px radius). M8 owns combat-start autosave anyway:
at that point CombatHUDScreen captures combatant state before
FlushAll, so the loop can't form. Removed the SaveTo here; comment
in code records the reason.
Marker scale stamped at construction. NPCs spawn inside _Process
(EnsureLoadedAround → OnChunkLoaded → MountNpcMarker) *after* the
per-frame counter-scale loop has already iterated _npcMarkers, so
a new marker would render at Scale=(1,1) for one frame. New
CounterScaleVec() helper reads the current camera zoom and is
stamped into Scale at marker construction (both PlayerMarker on
spawn/restore and every NpcMarker). The player path also reorders
SetInitialZoom to run BEFORE the player marker constructs so the
counter-scale picks the post-zoom value rather than the fit-zoom
default.
That closes the M7 milestone — title → wizard → worldgen → play →
pause / save / load / dialogue / hostile-stub all wired, only the
M7.4 polish items left were the bugs surfaced in play-testing.
Next: §11.1 cross-build save-bytes parity test (user-driven), then
M8 (combat HUD, inventory, level-up, shop, quest log, dungeon).
