Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Gameplay
    • Player movement paints eligible land cells in the player’s country color, including moves across the wrapped edge of the map.
    • Bots evaluate more route options and prioritize promising patches when planning.
  • Performance
    • Country map updates are published in batches, typically every three ticks, with large captures sent immediately.
    • Local enclosure searches can examine up to 16,384 cells per country.
  • Documentation
    • Updated profiling results, workload comparisons, and instructions for measuring performance.

📝 Walkthrough

The cordon-off example updates enclosure searches and bot route evaluation, adds client-side movement painting, and changes when country chunks are published. Profiling tools and documentation now cover configurable chunk intervals and October measurements.

Changes: Cordon-off simulation and publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded enclosure search
examples/cordon-off/enclosure.ts, examples/cordon-off/README.md
Enclosure searches now use fixed-size scratch arrays and select neighbor traversal order by boundary quadrant. Flood traversal handles visited cells, exterior cells, and budget exhaustion directly. The README records a 16,384-cell search budget.
Bot route candidate evaluation
examples/cordon-off/bots.ts
Bot planning collects eligible patches before route scoring. It evaluates candidates in lower-bound ratio order, tests both directions and approaches, and uses deterministic tie-breaking for equal ratios.
Movement paint generation and application
examples/cordon-off/shared.ts, examples/cordon-off/client.ts, examples/cordon-off/paint.test.ts
Shared logic generates paint records for eligible one-cell moves, including moves across the horizontal seam. The client applies paints to loaded chunks and records the latest player positions. Tests cover accepted and rejected moves.
Conditional country-chunk publishing
examples/cordon-off/world.ts, examples/cordon-off/publish.ts, examples/cordon-off/server.ts, examples/cordon-off/publish.test.ts
Captures of at least 100 cells set a pending flag. The server selects country chunks for publishing at the configured interval, when forced, or when a bulk capture is pending. Dirty country chunks remain queued when draining is disabled.
Profiling runs and records
examples/cordon-off/profile.ts, examples/cordon-off/PROFILING.md, examples/cordon-off/README.md
The profiling tool adds a validated chunk interval and flushes chunks when the interval is due or a bulk capture is pending. The profiling documentation updates measurements, procedures, hotspots, and change history.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to db950

Client displays can show the wrong country owner after a movement update. Prevent predicted paints from overriding newer authoritative data before merging.

Review comments at @examples/cordon-off/client.ts:
- Around line 472-478: Update the movement-paint application flow around
`movementPaints` and `applyMovementPaint` to compare each paint’s shared update
version with the cached authoritative country-chunk version, applying it only
when newer. Use the same version basis for both country and user rows so
correctness does not depend on subscription or callback order.

Review comments at @examples/cordon-off/PROFILING.md:
- Around line 64-68: Update the repeat loop in the profiling procedure to run
each mode and shape against both the baseline worktree and the current candidate
tree, using separate output directories for their results.
