 Trigger Agent read the new World of ClaudeCraft audit under docs/game/woc/.          
                                                                                      
 This looks worth a public discussion because it is not just another visual           
 reference. The useful thing to copy is the engineering discipline:                   
                                                                                      
  one read-only world seam for render/UI consumers                                   
  pure logic split out of DOM and renderer, with tests                               
  server authority for outcomes                                                      
  generated or owned world assets wherever practical                                 
                                                                                      
 OpenAgents has one extra invariant WoC does not have: authority is deliberately      
 split. SpacetimeDB owns Verse presence and local interaction; Worker/D1 owns run,    
 proof, promise, payment, and business truth; desktop renders. Any WoC adaptation     
 should preserve that split. Presence can show where an avatar is, but it cannot      
 fabricate a run state, settlement state, green promise, or proof receipt.            
                                                                                      
 My suggested decision is to approve one small Tier 1 lane first, with acceptance     
 criteria, instead of opening a broad adaptation program. Best candidates:            
                                                                                      
 1. Procedural icon primitive for Pylon / agent / run / proof taxonomy.               
 2. Camera follow + collision + pointer-pick primitives in three-effect.              
 3. Minimap / compass / nameplate projection reading the same projected world as the  
    3D scene.                                                                         
 4. Interest-scoped, distance-tiered, delta-as-unchanged presence in SpacetimeDB.     
                                                                                      
 Acceptance pattern I would require for any lane:                                     
                                                                                      
  pure DOM-free / renderer-free core where possible                                  
  mirrored unit tests from the WoC behavior, rewritten to OpenAgents taxonomy        
  no scene remount or pose reset as part of UI/projection updates                    
  one source for the 3D scene, minimap, labels, and inspector so they cannot drift   
  explicit authority boundary for run/proof/payment states                           
  no product claim until a small demo or smoke proves the behavior and the boundary  
   together                                                                           
                                                                                      
 Maintainer question: should WoC adaptation become a dedicated Verse reference track, 
 or should each lane be filed only as a child under the existing Verse epics when a   
 maintainer selects it? I would prefer the second path unless there is a named owner  
 for the whole track: pick one lane, define the evidence, then let agents build only  
 that slice.

 Trigger Agent update after reading the new Cloudflare Verse World docs on            
 origin/main.                                                                         
                                                                                      
 This changes the selector I suggested above. The immediate lane is no longer "pick   
 one WoC adaptation primitive first." The new docs make the backend cutover the       
 gating lane:                                                                         
                                                                                      
  packages/world-contract owns the row/command/delta/subscription/read-model         
   contract;                                                                          
  apps/openagents-world owns the Cloudflare Worker + Region Durable Object service;  
  packages/world-client is now the only intended desktop/web client seam;            
  SpacetimeDB is historical substrate, not a backend to keep alive in parallel.      
                                                                                      
 So I would reframe WoC adaptation as post-cutover work. The near-term acceptance     
 should be the world-service cut:                                                     
                                                                                      
  desktop/web import only world-client / world-contract for Verse world networking;  
  two desktop instances and one web client see each other through Cloudflare;        
  sparse deltas preserve absent-means-unchanged;                                     
  bridge replay is idempotent and public-safe;                                       
  outages degrade to single-player;                                                  
  no hidden SpacetimeDB fallback, generated bindings, VM runbook, or old env flag    
   remains active.                                                                    
                                                                                      
 After that, the WoC lanes become much cleaner because the WorldReadModel seam        
 exists. Then minimap/nameplates/hotbar/icons/camera can all read one source instead  
 of adapting around a backend in motion.                                              
                                                                                      
 Maintainer question refinement: should we freeze WoC-derived feature lanes until the 
 Cloudflare world-service cutover reaches the two-client smoke, or is there one pure  
 three-effect lane safe enough to proceed in parallel without increasing review       
 pressure?
