  • VFX.md — the effects library, planned 2026-11-02: six looks the pilot picked from reactbits.dev / pro.reactbits.dev mapped into the game (Portal → the gate's doorway and its transit tunnel; Hyperspeed → the mass-drive crossing; Topography → night vision, blue; Frame Border → entry plasma round the canopy, driven by hull heat; Hexagonal Vault → floors that answer feet; Chrome Orbit → the drive core, rings aligning when the drive engages). Locked: we write our own, the references are looks only (their licences bar porting, and the installer ships .frag source). Three kinds of delivery (material effects by a Blender fx. material, glowing world surfaces, full-screen passes). Piece one, the gate portal, planned against the gate as built (790 × 884 m opening, the 260 m sphere trigger, the main-thread rebuild): five states, the destination star's colour from the client's galaxy generator, and three proposals for the pilot (fill the doorway; trigger on crossing the plane; measure the rebuild stall). Docs only: not redeployed (pax-heliopause)
  • HELIOS-PRIME.md §3.5.1/§4 — instancing built in helios v0.346.0 with rocks as its first consumer (Stage 3's second piece); the far cascade's shipped version corrected to v0.345.1. Docs only: not redeployed (pax-heliopause)
  • HELIOS-PRIME.md §3.5.1/§4 — Stage 3 begun: terrain casts into a far shadow cascade (helios v0.345.0, 2026-11-02); the material sets wait for the pilot's eye, the trees for the kit pipeline. Docs only: not redeployed (pax-heliopause)
  • HELIOS-PRIME.md §4 — the hydrology's meanders, deltas and sea test deployed 2026-11-02 15:52 (v20261102.0.13) after the pilot confirmed the Q7 counts stand; Eos traced at boot under HydroVersion 2. Docs only: the live server runs v20261102.0.13 (pax-heliopause)
  • the sea test (docs/HELIOS-PRIME.md §4 Stage 2) in TestEosHydrology — with its rivers and lakes in, Eos is 66.2 % water over 20 000 points (0.2 % of it lakes and rivers over the sea's level), inside the 65–70 % the stage asks; §4's Stage 2 progress lists pieces one to three and what is owed. Docs and a test only: not redeployed (pax-heliopause)
