Issue fixes:
- D643 (#145 b/c, #149): Original control style is a strict virtual N64 pad
(native buttons in stage/menu/watch/tank, per-seat Input.N64Pad remap,
Input.N64StickFeel)
- D605 + D645 (#145 a): Invert look reaches the original styles; in Original
it is the game's own Look up/down, synced with the F10 row
- D606 (#144): optional always-visible mission timer
- D644 (#146): IA4 decodes as the RDP's I3:A1 (file-select crest drew on a
dark square)
- D581 (#151): open on the real primary monitor (SDL display 0) and centre
every window placement in the display's global bounds; the earlier
"display at (0,0)" rule still picked the left monitor
- D580 (#153, #156): runtime check of the propDef type/end-of-list fix
- D646: F10 dropdown popup stays inside the settings box
Frame rate (#148):
- D578: Auto follows the display up to 240 (4 presents per sim tick, the
renderer's ceiling); 165 and 240 in the Frame rate cap row
Rolled in from release/v0.7.0:
- D632: release the GL context + window before exit (BSOD 0x119)
- D626: Windows per-monitor DPI awareness
- D639: exclusive fullscreen uses the desktop mode
- verify.sh: a frame-size mismatch fails; demobatch/flicker_scan harness
Release gate, licenses, docs:
- NOTICE: macOS packaging and pi/ coverage; runtime libraries bundled in
the downloads (SDL2/SDL3, zlib, MinGW runtime, macOS GCC runtime)
- macOS package ships SDL3, GCC COPYING.RUNTIME and the GPL-3.0 text
(tools_pc/dist/GPL-3.0.txt)
- README: release date 2026-10-13, "Why play this port", Legal (Apple,
runtime licenses), frame-rate text; site date tokens
- tools_pc/release_gate.sh: one-command win/deck/mac release checks
- release notes, findings D578/D580/D581/D643-D646 + index, porting notes
Fixes:
- D565: AI awareness no longer follows two player render settings. Fog
distance is floored at 100 (below it the shortened clip hid guards from
AI on-screen checks); the D466 gameplay fog cull is rescaled to the game's
own FOV (identity at defaults).
- D566: Steam Deck Game Mode no longer shows the on-screen keyboard at
launch (SDL text input stopped; screen-keyboard hint off).
- D567: opening PC Options from the front end with a pad no longer drags
the game's crosshair to the top-left corner.
Docs and site:
- README News/Status/Features/controls brought up to date; the unpublished
v0.4.1 work is folded into v0.5.0 everywhere; stats to v0.5.0.
- Release notes reordered: player-facing highlights first, finding labels
and verification at the bottom.
- Site status rewritten; favicon is now the exe icon (make_icon.py writes
docs/favicon.ico).
- ROADMAP: AI review results, update-check follow-up, stale rows closed.
Verified: Windows + Linux builds; Windows pixel gate Surface 1 PASS;
Deck build deployed for the maintainer's Game Mode checks.
Deck/Windows playtest fixes: fog rework (D540) and RSP-style CPU near-plane
clip with per-vertex N64 fog (D543), with fog recomputed on near-plane-clipped vertices as the RSP does,
so the haze around the player stays steady (D553); colour-combiner clamp for banded walls
(D548); rocket and thrown-item stack overflows (D545, D549); menu
double-trigger mitigation (D541); Dam ending first-shot camera swivel
restored by removing an old port look-at workaround (D552); settings standardisation (D546), live
All unlocked (D547), F10 mouse (D544); static window title and the project
mark (the in-game crosshair shape, site gold) as window/taskbar icon and
favicon (D550). Reference frames re-based
on Windows, Linux and Steam Deck (A/B-confirmed); capture_p7.sh runs on
Windows. Opt-in update check, off by default (D551: one HTTPS request to
GitHub per launch when enabled; winhttp.dll loaded only then; the tag CI
job checks the tag against GE007_VERSION). Release notes, ROADMAP,
internals and security docs updated; tree-hygiene pass.

Public-copy language pass, homepage restructure and Documentation rename,
404 page, dead-anchor and permalink fixes, release-gate sign-off, and the
pre-release review fixes of the 2026-10-05 batch (probe-doc drift,
build-path hygiene, verify.sh and capture safety).
Refs: D533 D534
Linux reference-frame set for all 21 levels and the cross-platform golden
rule (D521); golden tooling made non-destructive (D524); the gate pins a
canonical in-tree save (D529) and the PRNG seed (D532); the capture tool's
per-level re-pin bug fixed and the Linux set re-captured under the
canonical save (D530, D531); no-arg verify.sh exits non-zero. README and
docs visual/consolidation passes; the 15 MB preview gif replaced by stills.

- Docs site: drop jekyll-theme-cayman for a hand-rolled _layouts/default.html
(masthead band + middot text nav + footer with last-updated stamp and legal
line; head re-plumbed with {% seo %}, viewport, favicon); head-custom.html
fully rewritten to the chosen design tokens - charcoal/off-white/amber,
Libre Baskerville headings over system sans, square corners, 1px borders,
flat (no gradients/shadows), mermaid wrapper re-skinned.
- docs/index.md: v0.4.0 status (native widescreen, aim system, rebinding,
crosshair, rumble, rebuilt overlay); Honest status replaced by the v0.4.0
release-notes known issues; body anchor-nav line; legal footer moved to
layout.
- security-and-fidelity-status.md: front matter so {% seo %} titles it.
- README.md: v0.4.0 truth pass (status, Working/Known issues, Deck preset
2x MSAA / 250% per code, background stats 981 commits / 283 findings,
comparison table, GEPD-default controls paragraph, earlier builds) plus
markdown-native motifs matching the site: top anchor-nav line, --- section
rules, last-updated footer stamp, license badge in the amber accent.
- release-notes: SFTP sideload mention (leftover from the Deck session).
