- Added a new event-driven system for reactive storytelling, allowing rules like "When X happens, do Y."
- Introduced TriggerArea class for placeable sensors in the stage.
- Enhanced StickmanRig to emit signals for actions and arrivals.
- Updated StageDirectorVisuals to render rules visually with labels and badges.
- Modified StageSpawner to support spawning TriggerAreas.
- Improved text baseline calculations in speech bubbles and rule labels.
- Added tests for text baseline fixes to ensure proper rendering.
- Documented the implementation plan for Phase 4 in PHASE_4_TRIGGER_EVENTS.md.
- Created a polish plan for Phase 4 in PHASE_4b_POLISH.md.
- Introduced `PHASE_3a_CORE_DIRECTOR.md` detailing the core functionality for directors, including navigation, action queue, UI, waypoint visualization, and action execution.
- Implemented `StageDirectorVisuals` for drawing stickman action queues in edit mode, including waypoints and action badges.
- Created `SpeechBubble` class for displaying speech bubbles above stickmen, with customizable text and styling.
- Introduced StageGizmos for hover highlighting, selection outlines, and rotation handles in the sandbox stage builder.
- Added StageGrid for an optional world-space grid overlay that adjusts with camera panning and zooming.
- Implemented StageSelection for geometric hit-testing and selection management of nodes in the sandbox.
- Created StageSpawner as a registry-driven factory for spawning terrain, props, and stickmen, allowing for dynamic template management.
- Each script includes necessary constants, state management, and public API methods for interaction.
- Removed the old create_walk.gd script, which generated walk animations.
- Introduced create_animations.gd to unify the generation of walk_left, walk_right, and stand_up animations.
- Added a new SpinBox for rest timeout configuration in physics_test_harness.gd.
- Enhanced StickmanRig to support automatic recovery from ragdoll state with configurable timeout.
- Implemented recovery logic in StickmanRig, allowing for smooth transitions from ragdoll to animated state.
- Updated animation generation logic to use new pose templates for standing and lying down positions.
- Added KINEMATIC_BLENDING_AND_RECOVERY.md to outline features for smooth transitions between kinematic and ragdoll states, including visual and physical blending, and ragdoll recovery.
- Introduced KINEMATIC_TO_RAGDOLL.md detailing the objectives, scope, and core architecture for transitioning the stickman from kinematic to ragdoll mode.
- Created KINEMATIC_TO_RAGDOLL_SPEC.md as an implementation specification, verifying codebase facts and correcting the initial plan based on Godot 4.4 source.
- Enhanced StickmanRig with state management for animated and ragdoll modes, including momentum preservation and ragdoll construction.
- Updated physics_test_harness to support toggling between kinematic and ragdoll states with user input.
