Summary

  • expand Bigshot's existing quick path into bounded clear, watch, assist, trial, and seek modes that reuse normal profiles and routines
  • add exact-owner supervision, runtime controls, profile-area admission, unknown-creature policy, native combat-outcome evidence, and ineffective-action limits
  • add opt-in refuge outings that start safe, perform bounded work, restore equipment, and return before handoff
  • keep ordinary Bigshot behavior unchanged when expanded Quick is not explicitly selected

Scope and dependencies

This PR changes only Bigshot plus its Bigshot-specific documentation and tests, following maintainer guidance for script-scoped history and blame. Bigshot specs are organized under spec/scripts/bigshot/; smaller script suites remain flat.

It is intentionally stacked on #2433 (fix/bigshot-looting-watch-pause-race) and should be retargeted to master after the pending Bigshot stack merges.

Its optional integrations are independently proposed as:

Expanded Quick must not ship as compatible with an unmodified Lich 5.21 installation. Once the required Lich APIs receive a release version, the required metadata and documentation should be updated before merge.

Safety

Expanded Quick fails closed on authority loss, target/room/session drift, stale or ambiguous combat evidence, unowned child scripts, unsupported routines, and exhausted action/time budgets. Standalone Bigshot behavior remains unchanged unless a recognized new Quick mode is explicitly used.

Maintainer review revision

  • preserve historical permissive Quick arguments such as quick bounty, quick giant rat, quick solo, and quick once bounty
  • add opt-in lifecycle, seek, retreat, refuge, command, and error diagnostics through Bigshot's existing debug categories
  • latch swing-wait interruptions through the active guard and retain bounded execution-error metadata
  • make seek policy denials return false consistently and handle bare interrupted adapter outcomes safely
  • surface Quick validation failures even when another setup tab is visible
  • add plain-language hover help to every Quick preset and named-trial field and control
  • keep the legacy tether regression runnable without unreleased native Lich APIs
  • update YARD contracts, changelog language/date, and the stale quick_area plan reference

Verification

  • isolated Bigshot suite: 783 examples, 0 failures; 80 native-integration/real-GTK examples explicitly gated
  • combined native Lich execution-guard/combat-provenance suite: 783 examples, 0 failures; only 5 real-GTK examples gated
  • real GTK/Xvfb suite: 5 examples, 0 failures, including 1080x800 and 1080x720 rendering, save/discard behavior, and native Settings persistence
  • all modified Ruby/LIC files pass RuboCop, Ruby syntax validation, and whitespace checks
  • player-authorized live acceptance: 28 rooms outbound, four attributed/game-confirmed kills, 28 rooms back to the configured refuge, original hands/standing/full health restored, owners released, and no alerts
  • separate player-authorized ordinary-stop run returned to the same refuge with equipment and ownership restored

The live checks validate those exact no-loot runs, not every route, creature, profile, assist/trial combination, or live room-scoped eLoot path. Those limits remain in the committed smoke-test documentation. Dates in that record use ICT and include the corresponding UTC date.

23-25: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Guard every source[...] slice before evaluating it. These three sites pass the result of a regex slice directly into module_eval or class_eval. When the regex does not match, the slice returns nil and the eval raises TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String, which does not name the missing class or method. Four sibling specs already raise a named error first, for example spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_scope_spec.rb Line 21 and spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_attack_feed_spec.rb Line 10.

  • spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_observation_spec.rb#L23-L25: add a raise "Missing method #{method}" guard, and relax the regex to (?:\([^\n]*\))? so a paren-less definition such as def quick_routine_map still matches. Apply the same guard to the EncounterPolicy slice at Line 5.
  • spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_outcome_execution_spec.rb#L7-L7: extract the QuickOutcomeEvidence slice into a local variable and raise 'QuickOutcomeEvidence missing' when it is nil before calling module_eval.
  • spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_priority_spec.rb#L10-L10: extract the slice into a local variable and raise "Missing method #{name}" when it is nil before calling class_eval.

Remove the unused $room_count global.

Line 26 assigns $room_count. No later code in the probe reads it. The observation lambda at line 132 uses XMLData.room_count, and the assertion at line 180 reads room_epoch from the native event source. The assignment suggests a room-epoch source that the probe does not use.

The off_thread scenario does not isolate thread-identity rejection.

Line 90 clears Game.@thread for the off_thread scenario. Game.current_ingress_time then returns nil, so line 93 records nil and the feed rejects the event for a missing timestamp. The off_thread and missing_ingress scenarios exercise the same rejection reason. The example at lines 133-137 asserts only that evidence is empty, so it cannot show that the feed enforces the parser-thread identity when a fresh timestamp is present.

To make the distinction observable, set a fresh thread variable for off_thread and assert the recorded ingress_times per scenario.

Add the missing-body guard for the extracted production classes.

Line 6 evaluates source[...] directly. If the regex stops matching after a refactor of scripts/bigshot.lic, module_eval receives nil and raises a TypeError that does not name the missing class.

Add extraction guards for the remaining module_eval/class_eval slices.

Line 7 raises a clear error when SETTINGS_SOURCE is missing. Line 11 and line 200 do not. If a production rename in scripts/bigshot.lic breaks either regex, the slice returns nil and the failure surfaces as TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String at load time. That hides the actual cause. Other harnesses in this cohort already guard the slice (for example spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_startup_spec.rb line 12).

Guard every source slice before passing it to module_eval/class_eval. These harnesses slice scripts/bigshot.lic with a regex and pass the result directly to module_eval or class_eval. When a production rename or reformat breaks a regex, the slice returns nil and the suite fails at load time with TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String, which does not name the missing construct. Several harnesses in the same cohort already raise a named error first, for example spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_controls_spec.rb lines 6-8 and spec/support/bigshot_quick_walk_harness.rb lines 6-7.

Fail loudly when a production method cannot be extracted.

engine.singleton_class.class_eval(body) if body skips silently when the regex does not match. A rename or a reindent of quick_wound_observation or quick_seek_execute in scripts/bigshot.lic then produces a NoMethodError on a double at Line 287 or Line 300, instead of naming the missing method.

The native extraction at Line 37 already raises for this case. Use the same behavior here.

The sibling specs in this PR (spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_loot_spec.rb lines 6-8, spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_retreat_spec.rb lines 10-11) already raise a clear message.

  • spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_go2_travel_spec.rb#L7-L7: assign the QuickGo2Travel slice to a local and raise a named error when it is nil before module_eval.
  • spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_go2_travel_spec.rb#L11-L11: apply the same guard to the go2 method slice before Engine.class_eval.
  • spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_refuge_spec.rb#L127-L129: raise a named error when loop_method is nil before runner.singleton_class.class_eval.

preserving the existing command behavior.

In `@docs/bigshot-quick-combat.md`:

In `@spec/scripts/bigshot_quick_safety_spec.rb`:
- Around line 3-5: Update the extraction logic around quick_safety_reason and
quick_environment_reason to validate each source slice before concatenating
them. Preserve the existing quick_safety_reason error message for a missing
first slice and add an equivalent clear failure for a missing
quick_environment_reason slice, avoiding nil concatenation errors.

- Around line 300-305: Freeze the empty array in the malformed corpse IDs cases
so the test reaches room_loot’s empty-list behavior instead of failing on the
frozen validation check. Preserve the existing expectation that all listed
inputs raise ArgumentError; only add an explicit empty-list guard in room_loot
if that contract is intended to reject empty frozen arrays.

Supervised client/game verification is partial. On 2026-09-10, a player-authorized
run traveled 28 rooms from its refuge, produced four attributed attacks confirmed
as four kills, returned 28 rooms, and verified original hands, standing, health,
released ownership, and no alerts. A separate ordinary-stop run returned safely.
This does not validate other routes, profiles, assist/trial modes, or live eLoot.

Forward the original arguments in the checkpoint! wrapper.

QuickGuard#checkpoint! accepts a command: keyword (see spec/support/bigshot_quick_native_cmd_support.rb lines 48-53). The wrapper block captures only original and calls original.call with no arguments. Every checkpoint!(command: ...) call in this example therefore loses its command value, so the test exercises a different guard path than production.

Forward all arguments so the wrapper only observes the call.

♻️ Proposed fix
-    allow(guard).to receive(:checkpoint!).and_wrap_original do |original|
-      result = original.call
+    allow(guard).to receive(:checkpoint!).and_wrap_original do |original, *args, **options|

Line 136 never mutates the source string, so the copy invariant is not tested.

Line 1 sets # frozen_string_literal: true. The 'Fixture' literal at line 11 is therefore frozen. The unless ... frozen? guard is always satisfied, so replace never runs. The example asserts that caller mutation cannot change an admitted miss, but it only exercises that for event[:outcomes] at line 135. A regression in the defensive copy of source[:character] would not fail this example.

Use an unfrozen string for the fixture and mutate it unconditionally.

Freeze the empty ID list so the example proves what it claims.

The first case [] is not frozen. room_loot rejects it at the corpse_ids.frozen? check, so this example never exercises the empty-list path. A frozen empty array passes validation, because all? returns true for an empty array. room_loot then selects no corpses and returns { outcome: :complete }.

Freeze the array to expose that contract. If an empty list must be rejected, add the guard to room_loot.

🧪 Proposed test change
-    [[], ['0'].freeze, ['`#123`'].freeze, ['1;look'].freeze, [Object.new].freeze].each do |ids|
+    [[].freeze, ['0'].freeze, ['`#123`'].freeze, ['1;look'].freeze, [Object.new].freeze].each do |ids|

Matching production guard, if empty lists must fail closed:

-    unless corpse_ids.is_a?(Array) && corpse_ids.frozen? && corpse_ids.all? { |id| ...
+    unless corpse_ids.is_a?(Array) && corpse_ids.frozen? && !corpse_ids.empty? && corpse_ids.all? { |id| ...

Addressed the actionable findings from the earlier combined diff in fba781fb:

  • documented where refuge/supervision launch values are injected
  • clarified the live-acceptance timezone (2026-09-10 ICT / 2026-09-09 UTC)
  • added Markdown fence languages
  • forwarded guard wrapper arguments
  • made the provenance copy test exercise a mutable source string
  • validated both extracted safety methods before concatenation

The eLoot empty-corpse-list finding moved with that script and is fixed in #2457. Horibu's requested test organization is in 0a9c9714 under spec/scripts/bigshot/.

PR Review: feat(bigshot.lic): expand Quick combat for bounded encounters (#2456)

Reviewed: 61 files, +16,758/−217 at 0a9c971 on 2026-09-09. Based on: full local clone (worktree at PR head), a local elanthia-online/lich-5 checkout for API verification, plus executed RuboCop, ruby -c, and the full RSpec suite.
Verdict: Request changes — 1 blocker, 2 major, 10 minor, 2 open questions. The blocker the author already identified; neither major is.
Summary: This turns Bigshot's one-word quick into a five-mode bounded-encounter subsystem with supervision, guarded execution, and refuge outings. The engineering is unusually careful — nearly every path fails closed, and I could not break the new code from the outside. Two things hold it back. The new CLI gate narrows what ;bigshot quick … accepts, so four historically valid invocations now hard-refuse. And the new subsystem ships with none of the instrumentation the rest of the script relies on — zero debug_msg calls in 4,254 new lines against the legacy code's 167, and YARD coverage down from 100% to 62% on a file that was fully documented two commits below the merge base.

1. The headline feature cannot run on any released Lich, and required: cannot express that — scripts/bigshot.lic:11-14 (header block)

       version: 5.17.0
      required: Lich >= 5.21.0
     companion: Lich PR #1575 until its execution-guard APIs receive a release version
    integrates: eLoot PR #2457 and go2 PR #2458

Expanded Quick depends on Lich APIs that do not exist in any published build. I checked each one against a current lich-5 checkout (LICH_VERSION = '5.20.1', lib/version.rb:3): with_execution_guard, check_execution_guard!, execution_guard_active?, and execution_sleep (from #1575), plus Game.current_ingress_time and Combat::Tracker.observation_context (from #1576), all return zero hits across lib/. (Game.thread, Combat::Parser.parse_attack, Map.ids_from_uid, Experience.percent_fxp, Settings.root_proxy_for and CharSettings.active_scope — the other new cross-repo calls — do all exist, so the gap is precisely the two unmerged PRs.) The three Lich PRs named in the body — elanthia-online/lich-5#1575, #1576, #1577 — are all still OPEN, and the newest Lich release is v5.20.1 (2026-08-20).

The runtime behaviour is correct and graceful: admit_owner! at scripts/bigshot.lic:2198 checks %i[with_execution_guard execution_guard_active? execution_sleep].all? and raises 'Quick Combat requires the companion Lich script execution guard', which the entry point at scripts/bigshot.lic:13832 catches and echoes. Nobody gets a stack trace. But a user on a stock install sees a version header advertising Lich >= 5.21.0, types ;bigshot quick clear, and is told they are missing something the header never mentioned as a requirement.

The PR body states this ("Expanded Quick must not ship as compatible with an unmodified Lich 5.21 installation… the required metadata and documentation should be updated before merge"), so this is confirmation rather than news: do not merge until #1575 and #1576 land in a Lich release and required: names that version. The companion:/integrates: header keys themselves are harmless — bin/repo:106 uploads the whole =begin…=end block verbatim without key validation, and the two consuming regexes (version: (\d+\.\d+\.\d+) and required: Lich >= (\d+\.\d+\.\d+)) are unaffected.

Out of scope, but worth stating once for the stack: required: Lich >= 5.21.0 arrives from the base branch (commit a07b2c25, "fix: update required Lich to 5.21.0"), not from this PR. Until 5.21.0 ships, that line makes all of Bigshot exit at scripts/bigshot.lic:443 for every user, quick or not. That is a #2433 concern, not a #2456 one.


Major

2. Four previously working ;bigshot quick … invocations now hard-refuse — scripts/bigshot.lic:428-429

quick_words = Script.current.vars.drop(2).map { |word| word.to_s.downcase }
quick_extended = Script.current.vars[1].to_s.casecmp('quick').zero? && ![[], ['once'], ['single']].include?(quick_words)

LEGACY_ARGUMENTS (scripts/bigshot.lic:662) defines the legacy surface as exactly three forms: bare, once, single. Anything else after quick is routed to QuickRequest.parse, which rejects unknown first words. But the legacy dispatcher this replaces never had a fixed vocabulary — scripts/bigshot.lic:13845 accepts any tail:

elsif (Script.current.vars[1].nil? || Script.current.vars[1] =~ /solo|bounty|quick|single|once/i)
  $bigshot_quick = true if Script.current.vars[1] =~ /quick/i
  bs = Bigshot.new(Script.current.vars)

@BOUNTY_MODE is set from options.any? { |var| var =~ /bounty/i } — a scan of the whole argument list — and @TRACKING_CREATURE is options[0].gsub(/(solo|bounty|quick|single|head|tail)\s*/i, '').strip (scripts/bigshot.lic:6982), a regex that strips quick precisely so it can co-occur with a creature name.

I confirmed the change by evaluating the real QuickRequest.parse from this commit against Lich's actual argument tokenizer (lib/common/script.rb:1736-1739):

invocation v5.16.0 this PR
;bigshot quick / quick once / quick single quick quick (unchanged)
;bigshot bounty quick hunt+bounty hunt+bounty (unchanged)
;bigshot quick bounty quick+bounty Unknown quick command: bounty
;bigshot quick giant rat quick+track Unknown quick command: giant
;bigshot quick solo quick Unknown quick command: solo
;bigshot quick once bounty quick+bounty+track Unknown quick command: once

Two of these have no workaround, because $bigshot_quick is set only from vars[1]:

  • ;bigshot quick bounty was the only way to run quick-mode bounty hunting. Reversing it to ;bigshot bounty quick sets @BOUNTY_MODE but leaves $bigshot_quick false, so it silently hunts normally instead. That reversal is also the exact example the script's own help prints — "Modes can be combined, e.g. ;bigshot bounty quick" (scripts/bigshot.lic:6605 and :6628) — so the documented combination has never actually worked, and the one that did now errors.
  • ;bigshot quick <creature> was the only way to combine quick mode with Ranger tracking (@TRACKING_CREATURE, consumed at scripts/bigshot.lic:13428 and :13501). ;bigshot giant rat alone falls through to else"Unknown option: giant" (scripts/bigshot.lic:14231), so dropping quick is not an option.

The comment above the gate says the strictness is deliberate — "even a typo must never fall through to legacy hunting… its historical permissive tail also accepted typos" — and that is a fair goal. The issue is that the compatibility set was derived from the new design's vocabulary rather than from what the old dispatcher actually accepted, so it catches real usage along with typos.

The narrow fix is to invert the default: treat the tail as extended Quick only when it positively looks like Quick syntax, and let everything else fall through as before.

QUICK_VERBS = (QuickRequest::RUN_COMMANDS + QuickRequest::CONTROL_COMMANDS + QuickRequest::TARGET_CONTROLS)
quick_extended = Script.current.vars[1].to_s.casecmp('quick').zero? &&
                 !quick_words.empty? &&
                 (QUICK_VERBS.include?(quick_words.first) || quick_words.first.start_with?('--'))

I checked this against the same harness. All four regressed forms return to legacy, and every real Quick form still reaches the parser:

invocation current gate proposed gate
quick / quick once / quick single legacy legacy
quick bounty / quick solo / quick giant rat / quick once bounty Quick → refused legacy
quick clear / status / stop / engage 12 Quick Quick
quick trial burst --target 5 Quick Quick
quick seek --area profile Quick Quick
quick --profile foo Quick → refused Quick → refused (correctly — no mode given)

It does give up the typo guard for quick claer, which would resume being read as a tracking creature — if you would rather keep that, an explicit allow-list of the legacy modifier words (solo, bounty, once, single) plus a free-text single-token tail gets most of both. Either way the choice deserves to be explicit rather than a side effect. confirmed — demonstrated by executing this commit's own parser.

Pre-existing, not caused by this PR, but adjacent enough to be worth a free fix if you touch the gate: once is missing from the @TRACKING_CREATURE strip regex at scripts/bigshot.lic:6982, so ;bigshot quick once leaves @TRACKING_CREATURE = "once" and a Ranger will run track once at scripts/bigshot.lic:13501.


3. 4,254 new lines ship with zero troubleshooting output, in a script built around it — scripts/bigshot.lic

Bigshot's existing debugging story is one of its better features: debug_msg(type, msg) (scripts/bigshot.lic:6780) gated on $bigshot_debug, with four independently-toggled categories, called 167 times across the legacy code:

category calls in legacy code calls in new Quick code
@DEBUG_COMBAT 45 0
@DEBUG_COMMANDS 66 0
@DEBUG_STATUS 23 0
@DEBUG_SYSTEM 31 0
total 167 0

Not one debug_msg call appears anywhere in the 4,254 lines this PR adds to bigshot.lic. The plumbing was deliberately preserved — scripts/bigshot.lic:2351 computes $bigshot_debug from the engine's four debug ivars specifically so it survives the reset.call — but nothing was added for it to switch on. And scripts/bigshot.lic:6932 forces @DEBUG_FILE = false on the quick path, so the file logger is unavailable to Quick runs too. A player who enables every debug flag and runs ;bigshot quick clear gets exactly the same output as one who enables none.

Part of this is structural and fair: EncounterController, QuickRun, QuickGuard and friends are separate classes, not Bigshot instances, so they cannot call debug_msg without being handed a logger. But 25 of the 27 new quick_* methods live on Bigshot itself or in QuickExecution, which is mixed into it — quick_execute, quick_observation, quick_safety_reason, quick_incant_scope, quick_settle_outcome_evidence, wait_for_swing's native branch. All 25 can call debug_msg; none do. (Only BSAreaRooms#quick_status and #quick_steps genuinely cannot.)

What makes this more than a style point is that the instrumentation already exists and is already paid for; it is simply never shown to anyone. EncounterController#record_observation maintains a 100-entry ring of every command, outcome, send count, reason and evidence reason, and status rebuilds the whole thing on every tick. I measured that copy: ~0.45 ms and ~1,541 object allocations per call, at roughly 10 Hz. It is spec-tested in detail (spec/scripts/bigshot/quick_reporting_spec.rb asserts ring length, truncation, sequence ranges and frozenness). And no runtime path reads it. observations, observations_total, observations_dropped and observation_sequence_range have zero consumers outside specs; search, area, refuge, loot_recovery, escape_reason and work_result are written into every snapshot and never rendered either.

Across an entire successful Quick run a player sees four strings: the start banner (:2395), Quick Combat held: <reason> when it holds (:1736), the final result (:2398), and — only if they ask — the quick status line (:1880), which reports state, target, action count and reason and nothing else. The remaining messages are control acknowledgements and input refusals.

This matters most precisely where the risk is highest. 81 of 779 examples cannot run in CI (see the open questions), so for the native execution-guard, attack-provenance, refuge-travel and retreat paths, field reports are the primary validation channel — and those reports will say Quick Combat held: execution_error with nothing behind it. Finding #5 below is the sharpest instance of the same gap.

The fix is small because the data is already there: emit the observation ring and the search/area/refuge sections under debug_msg(@DEBUG_SYSTEM, …), add debug_msg(@DEBUG_COMMANDS, …) at the quick_execute/quick_incant_scope boundaries the way cmd already does at :7621, and consider extending quick status to print the last few observations. Passing the engine (or a small logger lambda) into QuickRun/EncounterController would let the pure classes participate too, without breaking their I/O independence.


Minor

4. wait_for_swing raises the guard exception without latching it — scripts/bigshot.lic:10634 and :10639

raise QuickGuard::Interrupted, 'swing_target_missing' unless target && target.id.to_s.match?(/\A[1-9]\d*\z/)

QuickGuard#interrupt! (scripts/bigshot.lic:1653) exists specifically so an interruption is sticky: "Legacy helpers may rescue an interruption, but a subsequent checkpoint must never revive this routine's permission." These two sites raise the exception class directly, so @interruption is never set and a later checkpoint! would pass. @quick_guard is in scope and already used three lines down for @quick_guard.deadline, so @quick_guard.interrupt!('swing_target_missing') is a drop-in.

I traced the current call path — cmdwait_for_swingquick_execution_scopequick_executeQuickRun#dispatch — and nothing between them rescues StandardError, so today this behaves identically. Every other broad rescue in the class (Group#member_online:4372, Group#has_bounty?:4484, trained_coup_rank:12127, the DRb event loop at :14219) is off this path. So this is a latent inconsistency with the class's own stated invariant rather than a live bug — worth fixing because the invariant is exactly a defence against future callers. confirmed as an inconsistency; no current exploit path.

5. dispatch discards the exception it catches — scripts/bigshot.lic:3739-3740

rescue StandardError
  { outcome: :interrupted, sends: @active_guard ? @active_guard.sends : 0, reason: 'execution_error' }

Any unexpected failure anywhere in the 4,000-line execution path collapses to the string execution_error. The player sees Quick Combat held: execution_error (from quick_run_loop, scripts/bigshot.lic:1736) with no class, message, or location, and $bigshot_debug does not change that. QuickSeek gets this right at scripts/bigshot.lic:3111 — it captures { class: error.class.name, location: File.basename(...) } into @error and surfaces it through status. Doing the same here (or a debug_msg(@DEBUG_SYSTEM, …)) would make field reports actionable for a subsystem that has no live users yet to shake bugs out.

6. A bare :interrupted from a dispatch adapter raises instead of interrupting — scripts/bigshot.lic:1390

if outcome == :interrupted
  return status if terminal?
  reason = result[:reason].to_s

tick explicitly supports two dispatch return shapes — a Hash, or a bare outcome symbol (scripts/bigshot.lic:1381-1383, else outcome = result). On the symbol path result is a Symbol, and Symbol#[] is an index operation, so :interrupted[:reason] raises TypeError: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer. The method-level rescue StandardError at :1414 then reports it as a dispatch failure rather than the interruption it was.

I reproduced it against the class extracted from this commit:

bare :sent (spec-exercised)           state=running  reason=nil
bare :ineffective (spec-exercised)    state=running  reason=nil
bare :interrupted (NOT exercised)     state=held     reason="dispatch_error: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer"
Hash interrupted (production shape)   state=running  reason=nil

Not player-reachable today: QuickRun#dispatch always returns a Hash on every path, including its own rescues. But the bare-symbol contract is real and is exercised by spec/scripts/bigshot/encounter_spec.rb:24 and :213 (:sent, :ineffective) — :interrupted is simply the one symbol never tested, and it happens to be the only one that reads [:reason]. Guarding the read (reason = result.is_a?(Hash) ? result[:reason].to_s : '') matches how the two lines directly above it already handle the same ambiguity, and a spec case with a bare :interrupted would keep it honest. Lead from a local CodeRabbit pass; mechanism and repro verified here.

7. A validation error on the Quick tab silently blocks saving unrelated hunting settings — scripts/bigshot.lic:5701-5707

def on_close_clicked
  return if @encounter_settings && !save_encounter_form
  return if @encounter_settings && !save_quick_trial(allow_empty: true)

  pre_save
  UserVars.op = @settings

save_encounter_form returns false on any ArgumentError from EncounterSettings#save and writes the reason to @encounter_message, a label inside the Quick Combat tab. on_close_clicked then returns before pre_save and UserVars.op = @settings, so the user's hunting profile edits are not written and the window does not close. Nothing switches the notebook to the offending tab — there is no set_current_page anywhere in the file — so if the user is looking at any other tab, clicking Close appears to do nothing at all, with no message anywhere they can see.

Concretely: open Setup, change a hunting setting, type abc into "Maximum actions per target" on the Quick tab (or clear the preset name), switch back to the combat tab, click Close. Nothing happens, repeatedly, with no feedback.

This matters more than it looks because build_encounter_tab runs for every user who opens Setup, not just Quick users — so this coupling is on by default. Nothing is lost (the window stays open, so the settings are still there), which is why this is Minor rather than Major, but "the Close button stopped working and I don't know why" is a support burden.

Two small fixes, either sufficient: switch the notebook to the Quick tab before returning, and/or surface the reason through Lich::Messaging.msg the way the success path already does. Independently, consider whether a bad Quick preset should block saving hunting settings at all — staging the Quick save and letting the rest through would decouple them.

8. Two controller ivars are never initialised — scripts/bigshot.lic:1038-1076

EncounterController#initialize scrupulously initialises every ivar it uses, including @room_engaged, @engagement_roster, and @active_target — but not @encounter_started (read at :1103 and :1316) or @retreat_attempted (read at :1285). Both rely on the nil default, which works, and both are correct under -w-less execution. Given how deliberate the rest of the constructor is, the omission reads as accidental rather than intentional, and it costs one line each to make the initial state explicit.

9. YARD coverage drops from 100% to 62% on a file documented two commits ago — scripts/bigshot.lic

The base of this PR is fully documented, and recently and deliberately so: commit 1885fa0d docs(bigshot.lic): v5.16.0 add YARD documentation throughout sits two commits below the merge base on fix/bigshot-looting-watch-pause-race, and its own message records "296 of 296 methods now carry @param/@return". I measured both revisions:

revision methods with @param/@return/@raise/@yield
base 273fa778 299 299 (100.0%)
head 0a9c971 496 307 (61.9%)

That is +197 methods and +8 tagged — 4.1% of the new methods carry YARD tags. Only 31% have any comment at all.

The gap is not a lack of care about comments: the new code is full of good design-rationale prose ("Evidence must identify both a current group member and an exact current hostile creature id", "Count before attempting transport: an exception is not proof no command reached the game"). Those are valuable and should stay. What is missing is the interface half — what goes in, what comes back, what it raises. And the author clearly knows the convention, because a handful of new methods do have it: BSAreaRooms.for_quick (:4177), quick_steps (:4211), QuickSeek#call (:3067), QuickGuard#checkpoint! (:1620). It is applied inconsistently rather than unknown.

The undocumented set includes essentially every entry point a future maintainer would start from:

686   QuickRequest.parse           prose comment, no tags
833   EncounterSettings.normalize  no comment, no tags
1015  EncounterPolicy#eligible?    no comment, no tags
1268  EncounterController#tick     no comment, no tags
1901  Bigshot#quick_execute        no comment, no tags
2194  QuickStartup.admit_owner!    no comment, no tags
3316  QuickRun#tick                no comment, no tags
3336  QuickRun#close               no comment, no tags

The sharpest case is the return contracts. The new region defines 7 different call methods and 4 different result methods, each returning a differently-shaped Hash, and the controller branches on those exact shapes — result[:outcome] == :retreated, cleanup[:outcome] == :complete, { outcome: :pending }, { outcome: :found }, { outcome: :interrupted, reason: … }. Six of the seven call methods and all four result methods say nothing about their return shape. QuickSeek#call (:3067) is the lone exception — @param, @yieldreturn and @return [Hash] moved/found or explicit interrupted outcome (not combat proof) — and it is the model the other ten should follow. This ambiguity is not hypothetical: it is what produced finding #6, where EncounterController#tick accepts two different dispatch return shapes and the undocumented one is broken.

A @return [Hash] line on each adapter's call and result, in the shape QuickSeek#call already uses, would be worth more than the rest of the YARD pass combined.

10. Changelog is dated tomorrow — scripts/bigshot.lic:22

v5.17.0 (2026-09-10) while today is 2026-09-09 and every other entry (v5.16.0 (2026-08-13)) uses a plain repo-frame date. The docs were correctly amended to 2026-09-10 ICT (2026-09-09 UTC) after CodeRabbit's earlier note, but the header entry still carries the bare ICT date, so it reads as a future date against its neighbours.

11. Changelog entries are pitched at reviewers, not players — scripts/bigshot.lic:22-26

This repo's changelog entries are written for a player skimming what changed, and v5.16.0 right below is a good model ("creature tracking is more accurate right after a kill or a room change, so targeting and looting are less likely to grab a stale target"). "added supervised controls, exact-target engagement, unknown-creature policy, and observed ineffective-action limits" and "added guarded room-scoped eLoot integration without allowing selling, child-script travel, or unrelated cleanup" are closer to a design summary. That detail is valuable — it just belongs in the PR description and docs/, which already carry it.

12. The plan document contradicts the contract document it ships alongside — docs/bigshot-encounters-plan.md:109

no movement authority. LAB uses the existing opt-in controller manifest and
`quick_area` proof, requires movement/combat ownership, and adds no listener or

Two other documents in this same PR say the opposite. docs/bigshot-encounter-lab-contract.md:36-37: "Registered Quick tests require a quick_refuge handoff with an explicit refuge and return reserve. Legacy quick_area entries remain readable for migration" — i.e. readable but not launchable. docs/bigshot-quick-smoke-test.md:233-234 is blunter: "The earlier field-only test plan is superseded: quick_area cannot launch an agent test. Register quick_refuge…". The plan was written against the earlier design and this line was not carried forward.

Surfaced by a local CodeRabbit pass; I verified it against all three files at head. It is a one-line fix. Worth doing rather than ignoring, because bigshot-encounter-lab-contract.md is the document a future maintainer will trust, and having the plan disagree with it about which handoff can launch a test is the kind of thing that costs an hour later.

13. PR title is missing the version number

The repo convention is type(script): vX.Y.Z description, consistent across merged history — including the previous Bigshot PR, #2451 feat(bigshot.lic): v5.16.0 add thp<N> and empowered<N> command checks, fix buff<N> lookup. This one reads feat(bigshot.lic): expand Quick combat for bounded encounters. Suggest feat(bigshot.lic): v5.17.0 expand Quick into bounded clear/watch/assist/trial/seek modes.


Open questions

  • scripts/bigshot.lic:3087-3097QuickSeek's guard policy raises through with_execution_guard, while its three siblings return false. quick_execution_scope:2148, QuickRetreat130:2595, and QuickRetreatWalk:2856 all wrap their policy body in rescue Interrupted → false, converting an interruption into a clean denial. The seek movement lambda calls observe! and fail! with no rescue, so a QuickGuard::Interrupted unwinds out of the policy callback into Lich's guard machinery. QuickSeek#call's outer rescue StandardError still turns it into { outcome: :interrupted }, so the script recovers. Settles it: in elanthia-online/lich-5#1575, what does with_execution_guard do when the policy callback raises rather than returning false — is the pending send guaranteed not to go out, and is the guard removed cleanly? If the contract is "return false to deny, do not raise", this should match its three siblings. I could not check this myself because the API is not in any Lich build yet.

  • 81 of 779 Bigshot examples (10.4%) are environment-gated, and they are exactly the native-integration ones. That is disclosed and unavoidable while #1575 is unmerged, so it is not a criticism. The specific thing worth flagging: spec/scripts/bigshot/quick_tether_spec.rb:219, "leaves the ordinary helper cast path without a new target selection", is a legacy-path regression test and it is behind the same LICH_EXECUTION_GUARD_ROOT skip as the native ones. cmd_tether was restructured for this PR (scripts/bigshot.lic:10346) — the loop do … return … end body became a proc that is .called — so the legacy path did change shape, and nothing in CI exercises it. I verified the refactor is semantically identical by executing both forms (proc non-local return unwinds the enclosing method on the return path and falls through on the break path, and unless a and bunless a && b under modifier precedence), so I am not claiming a bug. Settles it: can that one example be split so its legacy half runs unconditionally? Maintainer steer on this review: the call is the author's, but more spec coverage is preferred where it can be had.


What this PR gets right

Worth naming, because these are the load-bearing decisions to protect during revision:

  • The global-reset ordering hazard is handled, not stumbled into. Bigshot.new is constructed before reset.call (scripts/bigshot.lic:2336 vs :2350), and Bigshot#initialize writes $bigshot_debug = true at :6940, which bigshot_initialize_globals then clobbers. Line :2351 explicitly recomputes $bigshot_debug from the engine's own debug ivars immediately after the reset. That is a subtle trap, spotted and closed.
  • The legacy engine path really is untouched. Every in-method change is gated on @quick_native_scope/@quick_profile and returns early, and the two structural refactors (cmd_tether, cmd_incant) preserve semantics — I checked both empirically rather than by eye. cmd_incant's new ensure even fixes a latent leak where Spell.after_stance was not restored if cast_spell raised.
  • Concurrency exclusion is enforced at the right layer. A second ;bigshot quick clear typed by the player is absorbed by the upstream control hook (scripts/bigshot.lic:1861) before Lich ever starts a script; one launched programmatically is refused by owner_available? (:2180). Both fail closed.
  • Negative UIDs are handled consistently with the fix that just landed underneath this branch. BSAreaRooms.for_quick uses /\Au-?\d+\z/ (:4180) and QuickRetreat130.destinations uses /\A(?:[1-9]\d*|u-?[1-9]\d*)\z/i (:2535), so Reim rooms work.
  • The GUI degrades instead of breaking. build_encounter_tab rescues ArgumentError, sets @encounter_settings = nil, and appends an explanatory tab (:5786-5791), with on_close_clicked guarding on that nil. Since this tab is built for every user who opens Setup, that fallback matters. The <object class="GtkNotebook"> string it patches does occur literally and first in Setup.ui (:4948), so the sub lands.
  • The developer documentation is in the right place. docs/ is the repo's home for developer documentation of a script, with GSWiki covering end-user usage — and all five new files are developer-facing by that split (bigshot-quick-combat.md opens "Development documentation:"; the lab contract, plan, smoke test and refuge notes are all implementation-facing). It has no build impact either way: netlify.toml publishes dist built by jinxp -i scripts, so docs/ is not deployed. Noting this explicitly so it does not get re-raised — this review initially questioned the directory and was wrong to.
  • The specs exercise real production source. They extract class bodies from scripts/bigshot.lic and module_eval them, with gsub("\r\n", "\n") for the file's CRLF endings, so shape changes fail loudly rather than silently drifting from a copy.

Coverage notes

Executed locally, at 0a9c971:

  • ruby -c scripts/bigshot.licSyntax OK.
  • bundle exec rubocop over all 56 changed Ruby files → no offenses.
  • bundle exec rspec spec/scripts/bigshot779 examples, 0 failures, 81 pending, matching the PR's claim exactly.
  • bundle exec rspec (full suite) → 22,651 examples, 0 failures, 81 pending, but only after running bin/migrate first to generate dist/gameobj-data.xml. Without it, 19,537 spec/gameobj-data examples fail; that is a local-environment artifact, not this PR. (The PR reports 22,685 examples; the 34-example gap is consistent with its run including the companion eLoot/go2 stack.)
  • Cross-repo API verification against a local elanthia-online/lich-5 checkout at 6303974c (LICH_VERSION = '5.20.1'), plus release and PR state via gh.
  • Behavioural comparison of the CLI gate by executing this commit's QuickRequest.parse against Lich's real argument tokenizer.
  • debug_msg census by category across the whole file, and by enclosing class/module for every new quick_* method, to separate "could call debug_msg and doesn't" from "structurally cannot".
  • YARD coverage measured on both revisions with the same script: every def, checking the contiguous comment block above it for @param/@return/@raise/@yield/@option. Base 273fa778 299/299; head 0a9c971 307/496.
  • Per-tick cost of the observation-ring copy measured with a standalone benchmark of EncounterPolicy.immutable_copy over a full 100-entry status snapshot (~0.45 ms, ~1,541 allocations).

Not verified, and why:

  • Everything behind LICH_EXECUTION_GUARD_ROOT (81 examples). The APIs do not exist in any Lich build, so no amount of local work covers the native execution-guard, attack-provenance, go2-child, walking-retreat, or real-GTK paths. That is the bulk of what makes this feature safe, and it is currently proven only by the author's live acceptance run.
  • Live game behaviour. Refuge outings, seek movement, retreat, and the eLoot room-scoped loot path all move a character and send commands; nothing here substitutes for the player-authorized runs recorded in docs/bigshot-quick-smoke-test.md. That document's own stated limits (one route, no loot, one profile) remain the honest bound.
  • spec/support/* harness fidelity. I read the specs' loading strategy and spot-checked several, but did not audit all 50 new spec files (11,068 added lines) for stubs that could mask a production regression.
  • eLoot #2457 and go2 #2458. Reviewed only as they are consumed from Bigshot; their own diffs were out of scope.

Prior automated review: CodeRabbit reviewed this PR on GitHub and raised 7 comments; the author addressed the actionable ones in fba781f (guard-wrapper argument forwarding, the frozen-fixture provenance test, the quick_safety_spec extraction-order bug, markdown fence languages, and the ICT/UTC date qualification), and moved the eLoot empty-corpse-list finding to #2457. I re-checked those fixes at head and they are correctly applied. A local coderabbit review --agent pass was also run against the correct merge base (273fa778) and returned 4 findings. One became finding #12 above and one became finding #6. The other two I investigated and dismissed — recording them here because they will likely resurface on GitHub:

  • "enqueue's rescue re-enters @mutex.synchronize (scripts/bigshot.lic:1483)." Not a defect. Mutex#synchronize releases the lock in its own ensure as the exception unwinds, so the method-level rescue re-acquires a free mutex. Verified by execution: the rescue completes and records @fault with no ThreadError. The same shape in arm and result is equally fine.
  • "CharSettings['untargetable'].include? needs a nil guard (scripts/bigshot.lic:12483)." Not a crash. lich-5 patches NilClass#method_missing to return nil (lib/common/class_exts/nilclass.rb:9), so nil.include?(name) evaluates to nil — falsy — which is behaviourally identical to the empty array. Worth knowing that this is newly reachable, though: the PR skips CharSettings['untargetable'] ||= [] on the quick path (scripts/bigshot.lic:6917-6922), so a fresh character or one after ;bigshot reset will hit the nil during a Quick run. It is safe today only because of that monkeypatch, which is worth a comment if you want it to stay safe.

Note that an earlier local run against the branch name fix/bigshot-looting-watch-pause-race resolved to a stale local copy (5ba676b3, not an ancestor of the PR head) and pulled in ~20 unrelated files; its output was discarded. If you run the CLI locally, pass --base-commit.

@mrhoribu The requested Bigshot Quick review changes are now pushed in 7dd5728e. This restores permissive legacy Quick tails, adds lifecycle/action/error diagnostics, fixes the confirmed execution and GTK validation issues, updates YARD/docs/changelog language, and adds plain-language hover help to every Quick preset and named-trial field/control. The isolated suite is 783/783 green, the native integration suite is 783/783 green (five real-GTK cases gated there), and the five Xvfb GTK cases pass. The PR remains intentionally stacked on #2433, so the current conflict is expected until that stack lands; it also remains explicitly blocked on release of the Lich APIs in #1575/#1576/#1577.

## Summary

- add a one-trip `--preserve-scripts` option to go2
- leave `roomnumbers` and `textsubs` running for that trip instead of
stopping and restarting them
- keep the existing behavior as the default and avoid persisting the
option

This narrow flag supports supervised callers that require uninterrupted
observation provenance during bounded travel. It was split from
#2456 at maintainer request so go2 history and
blame remain independently scoped.

## Verification

- 5 focused examples, 0 failures
- changed go2 script and specification pass RuboCop
- both files pass Ruby syntax validation
- the previously reviewed combined integration stack passed the full EO
Scripts suite: 22,685 examples, 0 failures

Closing this expansion in favor of the modular EO Hunter path.

This branch was valuable: it proved the bounded execution, provenance, room-scoped cleanup, supervised refuge, and controller contracts in live use. The reusable seams remain independently reviewable in #2457 and elanthia-online/lich-5#1575, #1576, and #1577.

EO Hunter now provides the smaller behavior/arbiter architecture, group hunting, controller integration, and subsecond target/state response this use case needs. The focused Hunter follow-ups retain the lifecycle fixes in elanthia-online/eohunter#50 and optional Recorder trial context in elanthia-online/eohunter#51 without carrying a second 20k-line combat subsystem inside Bigshot. Keeping this 62-file PR open would duplicate the implementation and impose unnecessary review and maintenance cost.

This closes only the proposed Quick expansion; it is not a judgment on existing Bigshot behavior or compatibility.
