Fighters now perform random showboating micro-animations while idle
during question reading and opponent's answer — shadow boxing, backflips,
flex poses, moonwalks, ground pounds, air guitar, sumo stomps, and more.
Each showboat uses existing sprite anims (attack/kick/special/win) combined
with Kaplay tweens for position, scale, rotation, sparks, and emote text.
Showboating loops with random variety and pauses between moves.
Flow: both showboat during question → stop the answering bot during their
turn → stop all before fight animation begins.

- Unified speakAsync/speakAsyncWithRate into _speakAsyncCore with:
- 500ms startup check: bail immediately if speech won't start (mobile/no gesture)
- 8s safety timeout (down from 15s) to prevent blocking
- iOS-safe keepalive: only do Chrome pause/resume workaround on desktop Chrome
- Immediate bail when no voices loaded
- Sprite loading: 5s timeout per sprite prevents mobile hangs from stuck Image decodes
- Scene creation: 10s timeout in FightViewer so overlay/voice flow continues even if
canvas fails on mobile
- playRound: bail gracefully if fighter sprites missing instead of crashing
- Global audio unlock: first touch/click on site unlocks AudioContext + SpeechSynthesis
- Practice button pre-unlocks audio while still in user gesture context

DocsPage: escaped \"answer\" inside v-for HTML attribute broke template
parsing causing infinite Vite error loop. Replaced with " entity.
FightScene: three k.text('₿') objects used .angle without k.rotate()
component, causing TS2339 build errors.

Every fight now includes one Retro Mode round where bots submit
gamepad combo inputs (↑↓←→ A B). 24 moves across 4 tiers: basic
(always shown), standard (partially revealed), super (must discover),
and ultra (KONAMI CODE for 50 dmg). Discovery bonus gives 1.5x damage.
Includes pixel-art gamepad overlays (P1/P2) with animated button
presses, retro-specific narrations, and mock bot combo responses
scaled by ELO.
Also adds loops/plan.md with 11-phase production hardening roadmap.

- impactFreeze(): brief white flash pause on devastating critical hits
- spawnAfterimages(): trailing ghost sprites on fast dash moves
- spawnSparks(): varied particle sizes, rotational velocity, stronger gravity
- cameraZoom(): slight zoom-in on critical final exchanges, pull-back for ultimates
- Wired into dashPunch, aerialSlam, flyingKick, dashThrough, uppercut
- Critical exchanges get 1.3x camera zoom before the blow lands
- Ultimates get 0.85x pull-back to show the full move

- Add scale factor (SF) based on canvas height so bots and referee
shrink proportionally on small screens (reference: 500px)
- Scale judge chair/ladder dimensions with SF
- Push judge seat lower on small canvases so it stays visible
- Use 100dvh instead of 100vh to account for mobile browser chrome
(address bar, tab bar) — eliminates scroll under browser UI
- App root uses dvh, main area uses min-h-0 + overflow-y-auto

Added k.rotate(0) and k.scale(1) to game objects that use .angle and
.scale properties — fixes vue-tsc build failure in Docker.

Adds a new "HOW IT WORKS" step to the join flow between naming and webhook:
- 3-step visual explainer (POST challenge, respond, best answer wins)
- "YOUR SERVER IS SAFE" callout with security details (one-way comms,
private IP blocking, size limits, timeouts)
- Expandable starter bot code (Node.js) with copy button
- Collapsible example challenge payload with response format
- Improved webhook step with deployment tips (ngrok, Vercel, Railway)
- Container now scrollable for longer content

- Large animated sprite on BotProfilePage with tier-aware rendering
- Dynamic status titles (UNSTOPPABLE, ON FIRE, FRESH MEAT, etc.)
- Nostr auth persisted to localStorage — survives navigation and HMR
- Remove grotesque close-up overlays (eyeballs, tongues, teeth, drool)
- Remove crowd cheering signs (too small to look good)
- Add archetype to bot stats API response
- SpritePreview now accepts tier prop

- Add .run() to all Drizzle queries inside sqlite.transaction() in
orchestrator.ts and mock.ts — queries were building but never executing,
leaving fights stuck as 'live' forever
- Remove spectator crowd from drawArenaDecor()
- Rename duplicate spawnProp to spawnWeaponProp (was crashing module load)
- Replace canvas element on re-init to avoid "KAPLAY already initialized"
- Add safeText() to strip brackets from k.text() calls (Kaplay treats
[ ] as style markup, crashes on unclosed tags)
