Summary

  • restore normal output spacing and replace fixed-length ASCII-map parsing with boundary-driven tagged capture
  • preserve spaces, blank and ragged rows, ANSI formatting, supported terrain glyphs, and widest-row sizing while retaining row, column, byte, and timeout limits
  • keep failed captures quarantined through their matching closing marker, then reset cleanly for the next map
  • reset and audit capture resources across reload, reconnect, refresh, cleanup, and uninstall paths
  • add focused regressions, lifecycle coverage, current/historical handler documentation, and generated package 2.0.4.047

Review resolutions

  • Current Mudlet smoke guidance now uses 25 GUI handlers; the 26-handler evidence is explicitly scoped to 2.0.4.039 and the 2.0.4.045 removal is documented.
  • The active task list marks implementation complete and tracks full release validation separately as unfinished.
  • Wilderness capture accepts the fixture glyphs o, m, i, and backtick in both source and generated XML.
  • Ragged non-empty map rows are accepted, the widest row drives sizing, and the 256-column safety cap remains enforced.
  • Transfer failures retain failed-block state until the matching close marker is consumed; invalid-row, append-failure, limit, close-marker, and recovery regressions cover the behavior.
  • All 24 Python functions touched by this PR have docstrings.

Carried-along repository changes

Per the maintainer request to keep all pre-existing branch divergence, this PR also carries the repository-local scopeguard and plan-ablation skills, environment-example and ignore updates, and ongoing-project directory setup. These are intentional branch contents, not dependencies of issue #13.

The tracked coverage baseline is retained because the coverage workflow consumes it; the earlier deletion and obsolete failure note have been removed.

Local verification

  • quality workflow equivalent: pinned Ruff check/format, mypy, compileall, Lua extraction, LuaLS, StyLua, and handler ownership checks passed
  • build-and-test workflow equivalent: build validation and no-drift guard passed; all 10 suites passed under Lua 5.1 with luacheck 0.23.0
  • package validation passed for 2.0.4.047; generated XML matches source
  • Gitleaks 8.18.4 PR-range scan and canary passed
  • Semgrep Lua pinned-image fixture and mapped scans passed: 7/7 fixture rules, 0 tool errors
  • coverage workflow passed: Lua 36.69% (+6.33 points, +331 lines) and Python 53.30% (+1.81 points, +191 lines)
  • CodeQL and dependency-review have no honest byte-for-byte offline equivalent per docs/CI.md; their local inputs are unchanged in this PR, and no dependency or workflow file differs from master
  • focused Mudlet 4.22.0 smoke evidence remains documented; full release-candidate validation is deliberately still unchecked

The branch is 6 commits ahead and 0 behind origin/master, so no rebase was needed. Hosted GitHub checks were not awaited per maintainer direction.

Closes #13

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved room and wilderness ASCII-map capture, preserving spacing, ANSI formatting, blank lines, and irregular row widths.
    • Added support for additional wilderness terrain characters and larger map dimensions.
    • Maps now automatically size fonts and display captured content more reliably.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved recovery from malformed, interrupted, timed-out, or failed map captures.
    • Prevented incomplete map data from leaking into subsequent output.
    • Capture state now resets during reconnects, refreshes, and cleanup.
  • Documentation

    • Updated compatibility, smoke-test, lifecycle, and release documentation for version 2.0.4.047.

Add the investigation and fix plan, update the task list, add the environment template and ignore rule, and remove the old coverage baseline.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GUI now captures tagged room and wilderness maps with a permanent line dispatcher. It preserves spacing and map rows, handles malformed or failed captures, resets state during lifecycle events, and adds Lua-backed regression coverage. The repository also adds agent skills and local environment configuration.

Changes

ASCII map capture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture parser and dispatch
theGUI/src/scripts/00_msdpmapper.xml, theGUI/src/scripts/gui/37_ascii_map_capture.xml, theGUI/src/triggers/01_gui.xml, LuminariGUI.xml, theGUI/build.yaml
The package adds boundary-driven room and wilderness map capture, measured font sizing, row and byte limits, failure recovery, expanded wilderness glyph support, permanent line dispatch, and package version 2.0.4.047.
Capture cleanup and lifecycle wiring
theGUI/src/scripts/gui/01_preferences.xml, theGUI/src/scripts/gui/52_refresh.xml, theGUI/src/scripts/gui/53_lifecycle.xml, docs/RESOURCE_LIFECYCLE.md
Cleanup, refresh, connection, and profile-reset paths reset active capture state and retire legacy triggers.
Capture and lifecycle regression coverage
tests/test_output_capture.py, tests/test_lifecycle_regressions.py, tests/run_tests.py
The tests cover spacing, ANSI text, map dimensions, ragged rows, malformed input, destination failures, safety limits, lifecycle resets, package ordering, and standalone test execution.
Compatibility, acceptance, and package records
docs/MUDLET_COMPATIBILITY.md, docs/MUDLET_SMOKE_TEST.md, docs/ongoing-projects/OUTPUT_SPACING_AND_ASCII_MAP_PLAN.md, docs/ongoing-projects/TASK_LIST.md
The documentation records compatibility findings, implementation details, acceptance results, lifecycle baselines, and remaining release validation.

Agent and local configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent skill definitions
.agents/skills/plan-ablation/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/scopeguard/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/scopeguard/agents/openai.yaml
The repository adds plan-ablation and scopeguard guidance and configures the Scope Guard agent.
Local environment configuration
.env.example, .gitignore
The example environment file adds optional account placeholders, and Git ignores .env files.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 02f76

Release validation is not ready: the generated 2.0.4.047 package is absent, and the resource baseline still conflicts with the smoke-test checklist.

Explanation

The core parser, spacing, lifecycle, test, and documentation changes are in scope. The added agent skills and the privileged player account placeholders in .env.example are unrelated to issue #13 and introduce unrelated repository and configuration changes.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated .agents/skills additions and privileged account variables from .env.example, or provide explicit linked requirements that justify them. Retain the spacing, ASCII map capture, lifecycle, testing, and directly supporting documentation changes.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/MUDLET_COMPATIBILITY.md`:
- Around line 131-132: Update the smoke checklist baseline in the relevant
documentation to list 25 GUI handlers for the current Mudlet 4.22.0 check, or
explicitly label 26 as historical; preserve the historical version context for
2.0.4.039 and the removal in 2.0.4.045.

In `@docs/ongoing-projects/TASK_LIST.md`:
- Around line 165-171: Update the task entry referencing
OUTPUT_SPACING_AND_ASCII_MAP_PLAN.md to mark implementation and regression
coverage complete, then add a separate unchecked task for the remaining release
validation checklist, including the September 7 smoke test as validation rather
than release approval.

In `@LuminariGUI.xml`:
- Line 3696: Update the wilderness allowlist in the visible allowedCharacters
call to include the shared terrain glyphs o, m, i, and the backtick, then apply
the identical allowlist change in the corresponding ASCII map capture script and
regenerate the package.
- Line 3853: Remove the state.width equality requirement from validRow so
non-empty rows shorter than the widest row are accepted, while preserving the
MAX_COLUMNS limit and state.width = math.max(state.width, `#text`) font-sizing
behavior. Update the mismatched-row test in test_output_capture.py accordingly,
apply the same validRow change in 37_ascii_map_capture.xml, and regenerate
LuminariGUI.xml.

In `@theGUI/src/scripts/gui/37_ascii_map_capture.xml`:
- Around line 288-293: Update the transferRow failure handling in the
map-capture parser to preserve the open capture state while marking it failed,
rather than calling Capture.reset and discarding the block. While failed, ignore
subsequent rows but continue consuming input until the matching closing marker,
which must remain hidden; preserve the inactivity timeout behavior. Extend the
existing abort cases in tests/test_output_capture.py to include the block’s
closing marker and verify it is not emitted.

Review follow-up is complete in 02f766e.

  • Addressed and replied to all five CodeRabbit threads: current handler baseline, task/release split, missing wilderness glyphs, ragged-row acceptance, and failed-block close-marker handling.
  • Regenerated and validated package 2.0.4.047.
  • Ran local equivalents of the quality, build/test, Gitleaks, Semgrep Lua, and coverage workflows. All 10 test suites passed under Lua 5.1 with luacheck 0.23.0; handler ownership and package validation passed; coverage improved for both Lua and Python.
  • CodeQL and dependency-review are documented hosted-only boundaries; this PR changes neither workflow nor dependency inputs.
  • Branch ancestry is 6 ahead / 0 behind origin/master, so no rebase was necessary.

Per maintainer direction, I did not wait for the slower GitHub-side jobs. The PR is non-draft, review threads are resolved, and the branch is ready for review/merge. Full real-Mudlet release-candidate validation remains a separate unchecked release task.

Merged into master as merge commit dc0a411.

What merged

  • Restored server-controlled output spacing by removing the unconditional blank-line gag.
  • Replaced fixed-length map capture with tagged, boundary-driven room/wilderness parsing that preserves whitespace, ANSI formatting, blank and ragged rows, supported terrain glyphs, and widest-row sizing.
  • Added safe failure quarantine, matching-close consumption, timeout/size limits, next-map recovery, and lifecycle/resource cleanup.
  • Added focused parser and lifecycle regressions, updated compatibility/resource/smoke documentation, and regenerated LuminariGUI.xml as version 2.0.4.047.
  • Preserved the intentionally carried repository workflow-skill and environment-example changes.

All review threads were addressed or resolved with repository evidence, and all required GitHub checks passed before merge: quality, build-and-test, Gitleaks, both CodeQL results, Semgrep Lua, dependency-review, coverage report, and CodeRabbit.

No rebase was needed because the branch was 0 commits behind master. I used a merge commit rather than squashing because this repository consistently preserves PR commits and this branch intentionally included distinct pre-existing divergence.

Issue #13 was automatically closed as completed by this merge.

Remaining follow-up

Before publishing a release, complete the full real-Mudlet release-candidate checklist in docs/MUDLET_SMOKE_TEST.md. Only that release workflow should create and publish the final .mpackage; this is separate from the now-completed issue implementation.
