The slice that proves the pipeline: a second world authored entirely by an LLM from AUTHORING.md and the validator alone, plus the tooling to discover, theme, and balance-test any world. - The dogfood: "The Cinder Wastes" — an ashen volcanic underworld (slag rivers, a caldera mouth, a Magma Wyrm) — was written cold by an agent given only the generated authoring manual and `understone validate`. It passed validation on the FIRST run with zero failures. Its stumble log found six places where the manual stated a rule the validator didn't enforce; those became permanent hardening (below). It ships in understone/world/packs/ and glows ember on the lobby TV. - `understone worlds` lists every bundled world (the Vale + alternates) with its load status, via one shared discovery path. - Per-world Watch themes: settings.watch_theme (phosphor/amber/ice/ember, loader-validated) repaints the spectator page; the Vale's green is byte-for-byte unchanged. - The sim harness: a pure, seeded, greedy bot plays the real game façade over an injected day-stepping clock and emits a balance report — `understone simulate PATH [--days N] [--seeds K]`. It SLAYS THE WYRM on both worlds (Vale ~day 13, Cinder ~day 25), so the whole v0.1->v0.7 loop is proven winnable end-to-end by an unclever bot through the real stack. - Loader hardening from the dogfood: a rare monster may not occupy a dungeon-rung guardian slot (it would silently become a fixed foe and leave the rare pool); exactly one monster may be the boss; and the boss-tier error now says "no non-boss monster," matching the manual. AUTHORING gained a generated "what validate checks vs. what it cannot" section so the rule/guidance boundary is honest. Review hardened the bot for arbitrary authored packs (a MENU-mode fight spin and four related robustness gaps that were latent on the shipped worlds), and documented that final_level reads post-legacy-reset. Tests 359 -> 373; both worlds still win byte-identically after the fixes.
