+# 2026-08-28 — configurable render caps and idle-loop efficiency
+
+- Opened the saved Human Priest roster after a fresh client reload. The full
+  body and starter staff rendered correctly in the single character-preview
+  canvas, which reported the persisted 30 FPS preview cap and manual frame loop.
+- Entered Wailing Caverns as healer and exercised the gameplay setting live.
+  The performance probe settled at about 30.5 FPS for the 30 FPS option and 60
+  FPS for the 60 FPS option; combat and fixed-step physics continued normally.
+- Pausing switched the dungeon canvas to demand rendering. Its performance
+  counters remained byte-for-byte unchanged over 1.4 seconds, confirming that
+  the local paused scene did not keep rendering in the background.
+- Returned gameplay rendering to the default 60 FPS and left the character
+  preview at 30 FPS. Evidence reviewed during the browser run included the
+  roster-preview and live dungeon screenshots. The final fresh session emitted
+  no errors; the existing third-party initialization deprecation warning
+  remained non-blocking.
+- Verification: the focused efficiency tests passed all 83 cases, all 28 avatar
+  tests passed, the complete Vitest suite passed all 809 cases across 148 files,
+  and the production build completed with 1,043 modules transformed. KTX2 and
+  environment-performance audits remained green; the existing large-chunk
+  advisory remains informational.
+
+# 2026-08-30 — authored weapon grips and ready stances
+
+- Reloaded the offline client and switched a Human female preview directly
+  between Hunter, Warrior, and Priest. The bow, sword/shield, and staff changed
+  immediately to their native HoldBow, Ready1H, and Ready2HL poses; no stale
+  class pose or backward procedural axis remained.
+- Verified RuneWaker Human Warrior and Scout previews against their explicit
+  hand/shield locator frames. The one-hand, shield, and bow silhouettes used the
+  RuneWaker socket-axis adapter and remained proportionate to the character.
+  Also checked the Ascension Human Ranger fallback with its bow visible in a
+  supported ready pose.
+- The saved Human Priest roster preview showed the complete body and staff with
+  both hands aligned to the shaft. In Wailing Caverns, the player and party
+  equipment remained attached through live combat animation without a second
+  local weapon swing or load-time placement jump.
+- Evidence: `playtest-artifacts/2026-08-30-weapon-grip/weapon-grip-roster.png`,
+  `human-hunter-holdbow.png`, `human-warrior-ready1h.png`,
+  `human-priest-ready2hl.png`, `runewaker-warrior-sockets.png`,
+  `runewaker-scout-bow.png`, `ascension-ranger-bow.png`, and
+  `weapon-grip-dungeon.png`.
+- Verification: all 41 avatar tests passed, the 37-test focused weapon/stance
+  suite passed, and the production build completed with 1,047 modules
+  transformed. Asset audits remained green with zero KTX2 fallbacks and zero
+  environment-performance regressions; the existing large-chunk advisory
+  remains informational.
+
+# 2026-08-30 — bounded combat VFX bursts and silent audio default
+
+- Created a fresh offline Human Priest and confirmed the in-game Options panel
+  opened with **Master volume** at 0%. Gameplay and preview frame-rate controls,
+  VFX quality, and per-actor VFX/audio controls remained available.
+- Entered Wailing Caverns as healer, sent the party into combat, and captured a
+  live four-effect spell burst. High quality reported four active effect systems
+  and zero combat point lights; additive particles, impacts, melee arcs, the HUD,
+  and combat telegraphs remained visible.
+- The captured burst reported 60 FPS, a 16.7 ms average frame, a 16.8 ms slowest
+  frame, 258 draw calls, and 353,526 triangles at 1.5 pixel ratio. A three-second
+  combat sample reached five concurrent effects, stayed between 54.1 and 60 FPS,
+  and returned to a 16.7 ms frame average.
+- A cold Vite dynamic import failed once while first opening character creation;
+  reloading after compilation resolved it. The final dungeon run had no further
+  errors; the existing third-party initialization deprecation warning remained.
+- Verification: the complete Vitest suite passed all 839 cases across 153 files,
+  the production build completed with 1,047 modules transformed, KTX2 and
+  environment-performance audits remained green, and the release-candidate
+  check passed. The existing large-chunk advisory remains informational.
