## 📌 Summary of Progress
In this session, we successfully built and prototyped a fully playable MVP for the **Corridor Scroll** module using the desktop launcher.

1. **Environment & Build Fixes:**
   - Installed `openjdk@17` via Homebrew and set up Java environment variables.
   - Fixed desktop configuration in `desktop/build.gradle.kts` by adding the `:shared` dependency and passing `-XstartOnFirstThread` to resolve macOS GLFW thread restrictions.
   - Fixed `DesktopLauncher.kt` to instantiate the new `GameHost(ModuleType.LINE_CORRIDOR)` setup.
2. **Gameplay Improvements (Corridor Scroll):**
   - Transformed the static horizontal prototype into a vertical wiggling corridor scrolling from bottom to top.
   - Slower scroll speed (`100f` px/s) to make drawing manageable.
   - Implemented an organic, unpredictable centerline using composite waves (a slow left-to-right drift combined with faster wiggles).
   - Designed a dynamic corridor width that swells up to 2x and pinches down to 0.5x of its base width as it scrolls.
3. **Inputs & Feedback Loop:**
   - Added standard desktop mouse/touch drag fallback inside `LineCorridorScreen.kt` so the game is testable directly on macOS without an emulator.
   - Built a 15-second timer per session.
   - Programmed real-time scoring metrics:
     - **Containment:** % of drawn points staying within the boundaries.
     - **Fill:** Shading coverage between boundaries (calculated vertically in bins, normalized by the dynamic width of each bin).
     - **Overall:** Weighted combination.
   - Added end-game screens displaying scores and a restart prompt (SPACE/TAP to replay).

## 🛠️ Current State
* The desktop application compiles and runs successfully using:
  ```bash
  export JAVA_HOME="$(brew --prefix openjdk@17)/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home"
  ./gradlew :desktop:run
  ```
* Gameplay is interactive, responsive, and wiggles/pinches behave as expected.

## 📋 Next Steps & Feature Backlog
1. **Pretentious Art Critique Commentary ("The Gallery Critique"):**
   - We drafted a feature proposal in `proposal_commentary.md`. 
   - Next session can implement `ArtArchetype` in the `:shared` module and load corresponding art snob quotes (e.g., from *Dr. Alistair Vance* or *Madame Genevieve*) depending on whether the player was too safe (high containment, low fill) or too messy (low containment, high fill).
2. **Android & Stylus Integration:**
   - Test the Android target and hook up actual S-Pen data (pressure/tilt) via `MotionEvent` APIs to make sure it handles S-Pen pressure.
3. **Additional Modules:**
   - Begin development of Phase 2 modules like the **Pressure Ramp** (matching target pressure curves).
