chore: track the design docs in git (.gitignore !*.md)
AUDIT P1: every markdown design doc except CODEMAP.md was untracked, so ARCHITECTURE / AUDIT / OPSTACK-PLAN / fable-idea / REVIEW_FINDINGS lived only on disk. Replaces the single !CODEMAP.md exception with !*.md. Also makes OPSTACK-PROGRESS.md commits actually record something, which the unattended crash-safety discipline depends on.

# CLAUDE.md — VoxelForge
|
||||
|
||||
UE5 **density-field voxel terrain** plugin (strates / Marching Cubes / async streaming).
|
||||
Don't re-read the whole plugin — use the map.
|
||||
|
||||
## ⛔ #1 rule: NEVER build or compile
|
||||
Jahni runs every build himself (he has the editor open; running it via Claude just burns cost).
|
||||
When code changes are done, **stop and say "ready to build"** + list likely compile-error spots,
|
||||
then wait for his results / pasted errors. Same for in-editor checks — ask for a screenshot, don't
|
||||
try to run anything.
|
||||
|
||||
## Read first (in order, load only what the task needs)
|
||||
- **[CODEMAP.md](CODEMAP.md) — ALWAYS.** Navigation: what it is, data-flow (§2), symbol→`file:line`
|
||||
index (§3), "I want to change X → go here" (§5), conventions & gotchas (§6). Trust **symbol names
|
||||
over line numbers** (lines drift).
|
||||
- **[ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) — when touching generation / strates / passages / biomes.**
|
||||
The deep design (archetypes, (0,0) spine, disturbances, content/atmosphere, biomes) **and the
|
||||
`§8.10` performance invariants ("don't regress").**
|
||||
- **[fable-idea.md](fable-idea.md) — before planning PERF or FEATURE work.** Ranked perf+feature
|
||||
roadmap with verified hot spots; check it so you don't re-propose done/known work. (A perf pass
|
||||
already shipped: game thread solved ~3.94 ms, CullTiles spiral fixed, region-granular foliage.)
|
||||
- **[REVIEW_FINDINGS.md](REVIEW_FINDINGS.md)** — open quality/cleanup items (cross-check vs fable-idea
|
||||
before acting; some may already be addressed).
|
||||
|
||||
## Hard rules (these prevent real bugs — verify against code, don't assume)
|
||||
- **Density sign: negative = solid, positive = air** (MC convention at the mesher).
|
||||
`FVoxelModification::Strength` negative = carve. *The #1 source of confusion.*
|
||||
- **Density functions take VOXEL coords, not cm.** Conversions live in `VoxelTypes.h`.
|
||||
- **Determinism:** all randomness = hash of (coord, seed, strateIndex). No RNG state — same seed ⇒
|
||||
same world. Player edits (diff layer) are the only non-deterministic overlay.
|
||||
- **Async safety:** worker tasks only READ Generator/Mesher, must check `bShuttingDown`, and return via
|
||||
`ProcessQueue` (must stay `EQueueMode::Mpsc`). `EndPlay` blocks on `ActiveTaskCount → 0`.
|
||||
- **Carry the `Epoch`** through any new async path (stale results are dropped on mismatch).
|
||||
- **Don't "optimize" the perf invariants** in ARCHITECTURE `§8.10` — the `thread_local` box-valid
|
||||
caches, two-pass MC loop, SSE noise, and clipmap streaming are intentional.
|
||||
- **Never edit** `Binaries/`, `Intermediate/`, `*.generated.h`. Comments are French + English — match
|
||||
the surrounding file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Discipline (keep the map alive)
|
||||
- Add / rename / move a symbol → update its **CODEMAP §3** row (symbol-first; line is a hint).
|
||||
- Change generation/strate design → update **ARCHITECTURE §8**.
|
||||
- Resolve a checklist item → tick it in **REVIEW_FINDINGS.md**.
|
||||
- Don't duplicate content across these files — each has one job (map / design / findings / rules).
