Headless, data-driven core (no DOM, no eval): loader with one-pass validation, verb-coin interaction resolution, polygon walkables with Dijkstra pathfinding, branching dialogue with mid-conversation saves, declarative JSON conditions/effects, versioned JSON saves. Thin integration layer: asset manifest with graceful placeholders, WebAudio music loop points (midi-playlist convention), canvas renderer (hotspot boxes drawn where hitTest clicks), HUD model. Web harness (web/) + skeleton example game exercising every feature. 69 tests (node --test), tools/run_all.sh gate, docs/SPEC.md design spec. Verified end-to-end in a real browser: intro scene, walking, look/take, room exits, dialogue choices.
