The Phase 29 visibility fog ("visible hyperspace") froze the whole UI on
large reports in Safari while staying smooth in Firefox. Root cause: the
fog is a layered overpaint (torus mode = 9 world-sized rects + 9xN
near-world-sized opaque circles, ~270 fills for KNNTS041) and Pixi's
continuous auto-render loop re-rasterised all of it every frame, even
while idle. Safari's WebGPU backend cannot sustain that fillrate, so the
main thread/compositor starved and the entire UI froze.
Stage 1 (vector-preserving, no rasterisation):
- Stop Pixi's auto-render loop (app.stop()) and paint on demand via a
single Ticker.shared flush gated on viewport.dirty (camera) plus an
internal requestRender() from every content mutation (fog / hide-set /
extras / wrap mode / resize / pick overlay). An idle map now does zero
GPU work per frame; plain hover paints nothing.
- Remove the decelerate (drag-inertia) plugin: a released drag stops
instantly (owner request) and the viewport goes idle immediately.
- Expose RendererHandle.getRenderCount() / getMapRenderCount for
deterministic e2e assertions.
Tests: new map-toggles e2e specs (idle map does not repaint; released
drag does not coast) green on all four Playwright projects incl. WebKit.
Docs: renderer.md (render-on-demand section; fog section corrected to the
current single-fogLayer model; FPS note) and PLAN.md Phase 29 decision 8.
If Safari pan is still heavy after this, stage 2 will cut the overpaint
itself with an inverse stencil mask of the circle union (kept vector).

ui — Galaxy Cross-Platform Client
ui/ hosts the new cross-platform Galaxy client. A single
TypeScript + Svelte source tree builds to five targets: web,
web-mobile, standalone PC (mac/win/linux), iOS, and Android. A
shared Go module (ui/core) carries envelope cryptography, the
FlatBuffers codec, keypair management, and a thin bridge over
pkg/calc/ for UI-side game math; it is compiled to WASM for the
web targets, gomobile native libraries for mobile, and embedded
directly in Wails on desktop. All network I/O lives on the
TypeScript side via ConnectRPC, so the Go module is a pure compute
boundary on every platform.
The legacy Fyne client under client/ is reference-only.
Nothing in ui/ imports from it.
The full staged implementation plan lives in PLAN.md. The
strategic rationale (why Svelte, why PixiJS, why Go-as-WASM, why
Wails+Capacitor) lives outside the repo at
~/.claude/plans/buzzing-questing-fountain.md. This README is a
quick orientation; deeper per-phase design notes earn their place
under ui/docs/ as they are introduced.
Targets
| Target | Wrapper | Toolchain | Phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| web | browser tab | Vite + WASM | 5+ |
| web-mobile | mobile browser | Vite + WASM | 5+ |
| desktop (mac) | Wails v2 | Go + Wails CLI | 31 |
| desktop (win) | Wails v2 | Go + Wails CLI | 31 |
| desktop (linux) | Wails v2 | Go + Wails CLI | 31 |
| iOS | Capacitor | gomobile + Xcode | 32+ |
| Android | Capacitor | gomobile + Gradle | 32+ |
Layered architecture
- TypeScript + Svelte 5 frontend, shared across all five targets, scaffolded with SvelteKit + Vite.
- PixiJS v8 with dual WebGPU/WebGL backend for the world map renderer.
- Go module
ui/core/as a compute-only library (canonical bytes, Ed25519 sign/verify, FlatBuffers codec, keypair, thin bridge topkg/calc/) compiled to WASM, gomobile, and Wails-embedded native. - TypeScript-side
Coreinterface with three adapters (WasmCore,WailsCore,CapacitorCore) selected at build time. GalaxyClienton top ofCoreperforms all network I/O via ConnectRPC (@connectrpc/connect-web) on every platform.- Per-platform storage: WebCrypto + IndexedDB on web, OS keychain
- SQLite on desktop, iOS Keychain / Android Keystore + SQLite on
mobile, all behind a single
KeyStoreandCacheTypeScript interface.
- SQLite on desktop, iOS Keychain / Android Keystore + SQLite on
mobile, all behind a single
- Mobile-first navigation: one active view occupies the main area at a time; the sidebar holds a single tool (calculator, inspector, or order) with persistent state on switch.

Build pipeline
Every cross-target build flows through make at this level. All
named targets are placeholders until the named phase lands; running
make with no arguments prints the current placeholder map.
make web Vite production build Phase 5+
make wasm TinyGo → core.wasm Phase 5
make ts-protos Connect-ES + Protobuf-ES gen Phase 5
make fbs-ts FlatBuffers TS bindings via flatc Phase 8
make gomobile gomobile bind → ios + android Phase 32+
make desktop-mac Wails build for darwin Phase 31
make desktop-win Wails build for windows Phase 31
make desktop-linux Wails build for linux Phase 31

Local development
For UI work against a real stack, the tools/local-dev/ docker
compose brings up postgres + redis + mailpit + backend + gateway in
one command, and ui/frontend/.env.development is already wired to
talk to it:
make -C tools/local-dev up # build + start, wait for healthy
pnpm -C ui/frontend dev # Vite on the host
# UI: http://localhost:5173
# Mailpit: http://localhost:8025
The stack accepts a fixed dev code (123456) in addition to the
real Mailpit-delivered one. Full runbook in
../tools/local-dev/README.md.
For testing the production-shaped surface — Caddy in front of the
gateway, statically served UI bundle, real https://*.galaxy.lan
hostnames — use the long-lived dev environment at
../tools/dev-deploy/. It is
redeployed by Gitea Actions on every merge into development.
Per-phase docs
Topic docs live under ui/docs/ and are added per phase as they're
needed (testing tiers, WASM toolchain, navigation shell, renderer
internals, sync protocol, auth flow, and so on). The staged plan in
PLAN.md names the topic doc each phase produces.
