Fixes the "thin disconnected slabs" on the top-left/bottom-right walls and juices
the iso scene:
- Wall facing: iso walls have an orientation. A run along grid-x uses the _S
rotation, a run along grid-y uses the perpendicular _W (I viewed the tiles:
_S faces SW, _W faces SE — the two camera-facing rotations), and true corners
use the corner tile. The renderer picks per-cell from neighbours. Enclosing
walls now read as continuous faces on all four edges. Same logic gives
windows/doors a Y rotation.
- Floor variety: deterministic per-cell hash sprinkles planksBroken into wood
floors and stoneTile/stoneUneven into stone — no more flat identical sea.
- Juice: soft contact shadows ground every prop + character, and a warm radial
vignette lights the room instead of it looking pasted onto black.
- Tavern map: barrels/crates line the side walls (clear of windows/spawn, via
the wall-safe put()) so the lobby reads lived-in in every render mode.

A — RICH ISO. The old iso-dungeon was a 7-tile sliver of Kenney Isometric
Dungeon; wire the full set so town/dungeon are RICH and interchangeable:
- Real architecture: full stoneWall, stoneWallWindow (actual window),
stoneWallDoorOpen (real door), archway, wood column, stairs.
- Distinct furniture per kind: table -> tableShortChairs (table+chairs),
keg/barrel -> real barrel, crate -> woodenCrate, shelf -> woodenCrates,
chest -> chestClosed (added to the floor+prop compositor). No more
everything-is-a-chest.
Facing (was 90 deg off, twice): verified against live movement the sprites are
angled CLOCKWISE from NE (0=NE,2=SE,4=SW,6=NW), so up->Male_0, right->Male_2,
down->Male_4, left->Male_6. Now the run anim points the way you actually move.
ASCII picker no-op: ASCII draws glyphs and consumes no tile pack, so
projForMode(ascii)=null and the packbar hides for it (it only ever made sense
for Tiled/Iso).
Suite 58/419 green.
Proves the packs-as-products loop end to end:
- Copied Kenney Isometric Medieval Town wood tiles (floor/floor2/wall/window/
door/banner) into assets/kenney/iso-medieval/.
- Registered 'iso-medieval' as a 2nd iso RENDER pack (its own tile geometry —
Medieval tiles are shorter than the dungeon set; reuses the dungeon characters).
Strong on architecture; no medieval furniture at this scale, so furniture kinds
fall back to floor for now (shines most in the dungeon).
- Catalog product: DEFAULT_CATALOG + migration 026, iso tier 2 / 15 credits.
- PACK PICKER in the tavern: when a projection has >1 unlocked pack, a selector
appears to switch live (setActivePack -> re-render). Uses ?unlock=1 to preview.
So: switch Iso ★, and the pack picker lets you flip iso-dungeon <-> Medieval Town
live. Adding the next pack = assets + registerPack + a catalog row. Suite 58/419 green.
The old 'cat' used a char-goblin sprite (green monster). Replaced with actual
pixel cats from the Pet Cats Pack (CC-0, commercial-ok):
- html/assets/cats/cat1..6-idle.png — 6 cats, 10-frame 50x50 idle strips.
- catSprites.js: loads + animates a cat sprite (RK.drawCatCanvas), flips to face left.
- tileRenderer: draws entities with kind 'cat' via the cat sprite path (shadow + frame).
- tavernLife: spawns a RANDOM cat that wanders the customer floor (not behind the
bar), injected as kind 'cat' with its catSprite id. Degrades to a villager if
catSprites.js isn't loaded.
- tavern.html loads catSprites.js.
Client-only (no server change). Suite 57 suites / 413 tests green.
