- HUD arena status (top center): live wave number and run gold,
driven by GameState signals, torn down cleanly on HUD.reset()
- Free floor weapons removed: the initial sword/shield spawn is gone
and manually placed level.tscn weapons are deleted server-side at
init. Gear now only enters play via the armory or enemy drops.
- Retire to Camp: new escape-menu button (shown only while alive in
an active run) banks 100% of run gold and keeps all gear - the
counterweight to death's 10% settlement. Exit Game and window close
also bank winnings before quitting.
- CLAUDE.md rewritten for the gladiator arena era: core loop,
autoloads, economy API, RPC patterns, verification workflow.
- Created UI system in level/ui/ folder
- Action bar with 12 ability slots (Attack, Block, Dash, Jump + 8 expansion slots)
- Unit frame showing player portrait with health bar
- Character sheet/spellbook (toggle with Tab) displaying stats, weapons, and abilities
- Tab hint indicator showing how to open character sheet
- Custom theme with golden borders and dark backgrounds
- UI Components:
- HUD Manager autoload handles all UI initialization and player connections
- Ability buttons with cooldown overlay and keybind display
- Real-time health and cooldown tracking via signals
- Scrollable character sheet with two-page layout
- Player Integration:
- Added UI signals: dash_cooldown_updated, attack_cooldown_updated, weapon_equipped_changed
- Mouse capture system (Escape to toggle, click to recapture)
- Synced attack cooldown from weapons to player for UI tracking
- Updated level.gd to connect local player to HUD Manager
- Updated CLAUDE.md with git commit guidelines
