Summary

  • Add Unity DTO support for current-body stats from backend profiles.
  • Apply backend profile stats, BodyTime, and equipment visuals to the local state-authority NetworkPlayer.
  • Add networked body stat fields and make prototype movement scale from body agility.
  • Let prototype NPC brains apply their own body profile name and agility from their context.
  • Add prototype HUD stats display for level, HP, energy, attack, defense, agility, and BodyTime.
  • Include body stats in gateway LLM context prompts.
  • Document the player-spawns-into-NPC-like-body model and per-NPC profile bundle requirement.

Verification

  • go test -count=1 ./... in �ackend/gateway
  • go vet ./... in �ackend/gateway

pm install in �ackend/nakama for this fresh worktree

pm run build in �ackend/nakama

pm test in �ackend/nakama

  • Markdownlint with .github/workflows/markdown-lint.yml scope
  • Changed-file em-dash/en-dash scan
  • git diff --check

Unity note

  • I attempted Unity 6000.5.0b7 batchmode against this worktree, but the clean worktree package restore failed before script compilation with Package Manager error: The path argument must be of type string. Received undefined. This appears to be package resolution state for the fresh worktree, not a C# compiler error. The live Unity MCP session is attached to the original project checkout, so I did not claim that as compile verification for this worktree.

Depends on PR #8.

Code Review

This pull request implements a character statistics system, adding CharacterStatsDto to body profiles and synchronizing these stats across the backend and Unity client. Key updates include networked player properties for combat attributes, an AI agent 'attack' action, and a prototype HUD for stat visualization. Review feedback identifies performance issues with frequent FindObjectsByType calls in OnGUI and polling loops, a logic error in PrototypeAgentBrain causing exponential speed compounding, and a bug in NetworkPlayer where stat application could unintentionally revive dead players.

Calling FindObjectsByType inside OnGUI is extremely expensive because OnGUI can be called multiple times per frame. Since this is a prototype HUD, you should at least throttle this search (e.g., once every second) or perform the resolution in Update and cache the result to avoid significant performance degradation when no player is found.

This method is called within a while loop in ApplyProfileToLocalPlayerWhenAvailable, meaning Object.FindObjectsByType is executed every frame for up to 10 seconds until a player is found. This is inefficient. Consider caching the result or using a more direct way to reference the local authoritative player.

var stats = body.stats;
if (stats != null)
{
_moveSpeed = Mathf.Clamp(_moveSpeed * Mathf.Clamp(stats.agility / 8f, 0.75f, 1.4f), 0.5f, 6f);

The _moveSpeed field is being modified in place by multiplying it with the agility factor. If ApplyContextToPrototypeBody is called more than once (e.g., during a context refresh), the speed multiplier will compound exponentially. It is safer to calculate the current speed from a base value or a constant default instead of overwriting the serialized field.

The use of a 1f floor in Mathf.Clamp will cause dead players (where Hp or Stamina is 0) to be revived with 1 HP/Stamina whenever profile stats are applied. Additionally, using Mathf.Round on a float HP value can lead to precision loss. Consider allowing 0 if the player was already dead and removing the rounding to maintain float precision.

            Hp = previousMaxHealth > 0
                ? Mathf.Clamp(MaxHealth * healthRatio, Hp > 0f ? 1f : 0f, MaxHealth)

Delta after Gemini review on PR #11:

  • Verified the findings before changing code. The speed compounding and dead-body HP restoration issues were real.
  • Fixed PrototypeAgentBrain speed application to derive from a captured base move speed instead of multiplying the already-mutated _moveSpeed each context refresh.
  • Fixed NetworkPlayer.ApplyProfileStats so applying profile stats preserves dead bodies at Hp = 0 instead of clamping them back to 1 HP.
  • Relaxed stamina preservation to allow zero energy instead of forcing at least 1 when the previous energy ratio is zero.
  • Reduced HUDController player lookup cost by caching failed lookups for 0.5 seconds, so IMGUI repaint/layout events do not call FindObjectsByType repeatedly every frame.
  • Reduced CharacterMemorySync polling pressure by retrying local player application every 0.25 seconds instead of every frame during the short startup wait.

Verification on latest head 149a06a:

  • npm run build in backend/nakama passed.
  • npm test in backend/nakama passed.
  • go test -count=1 ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • go vet ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • Markdownlint passed with the repo CI scope.
  • Changed-file em-dash/en-dash scan passed.
  • git diff --check passed.

Unity caveat:

  • Clean-worktree Unity batchmode compile remains blocked before script compilation by the existing Package Manager path undefined issue, so Unity Editor/MCP compile verification is still required before merge-ready claim.

Local code-review skill pass

Target: PR #11 feat(character): apply profile stats to bodies

Engine Specialist Findings: N/A - no engine configured

.Codex/docs/technical-preferences.md is not present in this worktree, so engine-specialist routing is skipped per the local code-review skill.

Testability: GAPS WITH EXTERNAL UNITY CAVEAT

  • Backend profile stats are covered by Nakama and gateway tests.
  • Unity behavior is implemented in C# but cannot be fully verified in this clean worktree because Unity batchmode exits before script compilation due to the existing Package Manager path undefined failure.
  • Gemini found three Unity behavior risks; latest delta addresses all three with concrete code changes.

ADR Compliance: NO ADRS FOUND

No direct ADR reference was found in the implementation commit or file headers. The change follows the accepted architecture: Nakama owns durable profile stats, Unity applies profile-derived state to authoritative networked player state, and the client does not own economy or LLM provider secrets.

Standards Compliance: PASS WITH CAVEAT

  • NetworkPlayer.ApplyProfileStats gates mutation on state authority.
  • CharacterMemorySync applies stats/equipment only to local authoritative players.
  • HUD is explicitly prototype IMGUI and does not own gameplay state.
  • The latest delta reduces repeated FindObjectsByType calls in HUD and startup polling.
  • Unity compile verification is still blocked by package resolution outside this diff.

Architecture: CLEAN FOR PROTOTYPE

  • Profile stats flow from Nakama DTOs into networked player state through an explicit sync component.
  • Visual animation intent remains separate from authoritative gameplay actions.
  • AI attack visual intent is only an animation path; gameplay damage authority is not added here.

SOLID: APPROVED WITH SUGGESTIONS

The gateway client continues to accumulate Nakama, gateway, and auth responsibilities. Acceptable for prototype, but split once actor profile and NPC flows stabilize.

Game-Specific Concerns

Positive Observations

  • The feature makes profile stats visible and usable in Unity instead of leaving them as backend-only data.
  • The HUD gives immediate body/stat visibility for early playtest loops.
  • The added animation intent path helps the prototype show agent decisions without granting gameplay authority.

Required Changes

None from local code-review after 149a06a.

Suggestions

  • Verify Unity compile and Play Mode in the primary Unity project after the Package Manager issue is out of the way.
  • Later, replace prototype IMGUI HUD with production UI and an offline-agent activity panel.
  • Later, add Unity tests or play mode smoke for dead-body stat application and profile speed refresh.

Verdict: APPROVED WITH CAVEAT

Verification observed on latest head 149a06a:

  • npm run build in backend/nakama passed.
  • npm test in backend/nakama passed.
  • go test -count=1 ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • go vet ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • Markdownlint passed with the repo CI scope.
  • Changed-file em-dash/en-dash scan passed.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • GitHub gateway test + vet and lint passed.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a comprehensive character stats system, integrating it into the backend DTOs, networking layer, and AI agent brains. Key additions include the CharacterStatsDto, networked stat properties in NetworkPlayer, and agility-based movement speed scaling. The AI agent driver now supports attack actions and target detection. Additionally, a prototype IMGUI HUD was implemented to display these new stats, and documentation was updated to reflect the unified body profile model for both NPCs and players. Feedback highlights performance concerns regarding the use of FindObjectsByType in polling loops and identifies inconsistencies in agility scaling logic between player and NPC implementations. It was also noted that the HUD's time formatting is misleading for durations under one minute.

Using Object.FindObjectsByType<NetworkPlayer> inside a polling loop (called every 0.25 seconds via ApplyProfileToLocalPlayerWhenAvailable) is an expensive operation as it scans the entire scene hierarchy. While acceptable for a prototype, this can cause performance degradation in scenes with many objects. Consider using a more efficient approach, such as having NetworkPlayer register itself with a manager or using a static reference for the local player character.

var stats = body.stats;
if (stats != null)

_moveSpeed = Mathf.Clamp(_baseMoveSpeed * Mathf.Clamp(stats.agility / 8f, 0.75f, 1.4f), 0.5f, 6f);

The agility scaling logic here is inconsistent with the implementation in NetworkPlayer.GetAgilitySpeedMultiplier. Specifically, it lacks the check for agility <= 0 which returns a 1f multiplier in NetworkPlayer. Additionally, the magic numbers (8f, 0.75f, 1.4f) are duplicated across files. Consider centralizing this logic into a shared utility method to ensure consistent movement behavior between players and NPCs.

The FormatSeconds method returns 0m for any duration less than 60 seconds when hours is 0. For a "BodyTime" display, which is a critical resource, showing 0 minutes when there are still up to 59 seconds remaining is misleading. It's better to show seconds when the remaining time is less than a minute.

            return hours > 0 ? $"{hours}h {minutes}m" : (minutes > 0 ? $"{minutes}m" : $"{seconds}s");

Thank you for the detailed update and the comprehensive local code review. I have reviewed the latest commit 149a06a and the associated changes. Your implementation effectively addresses the identified risks: - Speed Compounding: Deriving speed from a base value is the correct approach to prevent compounding errors. - Dead-Body Preservation: Ensuring Hp = 0 bodies are not revived during stat application is a critical fix for state consistency. - Performance: The caching of FindObjectsByType in HUDController and the optimized polling in CharacterMemorySync are significant improvements for runtime performance. I agree with your 'Approved with Caveat' verdict. The architectural flow of profile stats from Nakama to the networked player state is clean and adheres to the project's requirements. The Unity Package Manager issue is noted as an environmental constraint outside the scope of this PR. Your verification steps, including the backend tests and linting, provide strong confidence in the stability of these changes. I have no further required changes.

Clean delta summary after checking the latest Gemini summary against the current Unity code:

  • Fixed prototype HUD duration formatting so BodyTime below one minute displays seconds instead of 0m.
  • Removed the extra NPC movement hard cap and made PrototypeAgentBrain use the same agility multiplier shape as NetworkPlayer: base speed multiplied by Clamp(agility / 8, 0.75, 1.4).
  • Kept the speed compounding fix intact: NPC movement still derives from _baseMoveSpeed, not the previously-mutated _moveSpeed.

Verification on latest head 91bc026:

  • npm run build in backend/nakama passed.
  • npm test in backend/nakama passed.
  • go test -count=1 ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • go vet ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • Changed-file em-dash/en-dash scan passed.
  • git diff --check passed.

Unity caveat remains: clean-worktree Unity batchmode compile is blocked before script compilation by the existing Package Manager path undefined issue, so Editor/MCP compile verification is still needed before a no-caveat merge claim.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a comprehensive character stats system, integrating attributes like level, vitality, and agility into the backend DTOs, networking layer, AI behavior, and a prototype HUD. The changes allow for stat-based movement speed calculations and expanded AI actions like attacking. Review feedback identifies a potential architectural issue where client-side scripts attempt to mutate networked properties, which may conflict with a server-authoritative model. Additionally, logic inconsistencies were found in the agility-based speed multiplier calculation, where a value of zero incorrectly results in a higher speed than low positive values.

This logic attempts to mutate networked state from what appears to be a client-side sync script. In a server-authoritative model (Pillar 4), clients cannot set [Networked] properties directly. If CharacterMemorySync runs on the client, player.ApplyProfileStats will fail the HasStateAuthority check and the stats will not replicate. Consider moving this logic to the server or using a secure RPC if the client must initiate the sync.

The check if (agility <= 0) return 1f; creates a logic inconsistency where a character with 0 agility is faster (multiplier 1.0) than a character with 1 agility (multiplier 0.75). Since the Mathf.Clamp on line 386 already handles the lower bound safely, this special case should be removed or adjusted to return the minimum multiplier.

Similar to the NPC brain logic, the if (Agility <= 0) return 1f; check makes 0-agility characters faster than 1-agility characters. The Mathf.Clamp below already provides a safe lower bound of 0.75.

        private float GetAgilitySpeedMultiplier()
        {
            return Mathf.Clamp(Agility / 8f, 0.75f, 1.4f);

Delta after Gemini review on PR #11:

  • Accepted the state-authority boundary concern. CharacterMemorySync now applies profile stats only when the target NetworkPlayer has state authority and the runner is the server, or the runner is the shared-mode master client for the local prototype path. Client-only/input-authority peers no longer pass this guard.
  • Accepted the agility zero inconsistency. NetworkPlayer and PrototypeAgentBrain now use the same clamp shape for all agility values, so agility 0/low values land on the low multiplier instead of jumping to 1.0.

Verification on latest head ca363a0:

  • npm run build in backend/nakama passed.
  • npm test in backend/nakama passed.
  • go test -count=1 ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • go vet ./... in backend/gateway passed.
  • Markdownlint passed with the repo CI scope.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • Changed-file em-dash/en-dash scan passed.

Unity caveat remains: clean-worktree Unity batchmode compile is still blocked by the known Package Manager issue, so Editor/MCP compile verification remains required before a no-caveat merge claim.

Local code-review delta pass

Target: PR #11 latest head c7d00a8 after rebase onto dev.

Engine Specialist Findings: N/A - no engine configured

.Codex/docs/technical-preferences.md is not present, so engine-specialist routing is skipped per the local code-review skill.

Testability: TESTABLE WITH UNITY CAVEAT

  • Backend DTO/profile coverage still passes through Nakama and gateway tests.
  • Latest delta specifically addresses Gemini's two remaining concerns: state-authority mutation boundary and agility zero scaling.
  • Unity batchmode compile remains blocked by the known Package Manager path undefined issue, so Editor/MCP compile verification remains the only caveat.

ADR Compliance: COMPLIANT

The change follows ADR 0010 and project Hard Rule #2: profile stats are game-backend state applied only through state authority. No LLM output directly mutates authoritative state.

Standards Compliance: PASS

  • No update-loop allocation path was added.
  • CharacterMemorySync now rejects client-only/input-authority peers for profile stat application.
  • Dedicated server state authority can apply profile stats to remote player bodies.
  • Agility multiplier logic is consistent between player and prototype NPC movement.

Architecture: CLEAN

The branch keeps Nakama as durable profile source, Fusion state authority as the network mutation boundary, and Unity UI/visual components as observers or prototype presenters.

SOLID: APPROVED WITH SUGGESTIONS

No blocking issue found. The gateway client remains broad but acceptable for prototype.

Game-Specific Concerns

  • Server-authoritative boundary is stronger after the latest delta.
  • Dead-body HP preservation remains intact.
  • No provider keys or LLM authority were introduced.

Required Changes

None.

Suggestions

  • Verify in Unity Editor/MCP once the Package Manager issue is out of the way.
  • Later add Play Mode coverage for profile stat application authority paths.

Verdict: APPROVED WITH CAVEAT

Gemini delta review is currently blocked by daily quota, but this local pass verifies the latest Gemini findings were addressed and CI is green.
