- Drop LuaUI/Widgets/dbg_claude_bridge.lua (debug-only TCP harness, kept unstaged in master working tree). - Revert scripts/energywind.lua to master (windmill spin refactor moved to its own branch windmill_activate_refactor). - Restore LuaRules/gadgets.lua and LuaUI/cawidgets.lua to master to drop unintentional blank-line additions.
…APACITY_REF Dedupes the windFrac (0..1 clamped read of WindStrength rules-param) call across ComputeMaxPotentials, ConsumersOrWindChanged, and SendAll. Centralizes the rules-param key string in one place. BUBBLE_CAP_REF now references MAX_CAPACITY_REF directly so the two cannot drift; the comment "(one singu)" lives on the MAX_CAPACITY_REF declaration and that is enough.
Leftover texture from an earlier experiment; no code references it (cables are drawn entirely via shaders, no texture sampling).
LOS leak: when the user disabled their LOS overlay (info display = height, or any non-LOS mode), the FS sampled the overlay texture instead of LOS, the grayscale heuristic remapped to losState≈1, the enemy ghost gate never fired, and out-of-LOS enemy cables rendered with full live flow. $info:los is the actual game-logic LOS texture (single-channel red), independent of the user's overlay toggle — what infoLOS.lua's bind chain already uses for the engine's own LOS rendering.

Grid cables that grow and wither to connect energy sources in plausible minimal spanning tree. Cables try to find optimal ground path using single turn arc to avoid very steep cliffs.
Purely visual — no gameplay/economy change. All changes live in
gfx_overdrive_cables.*(gadget, widget, shaders); no synced code is touched.Cable thickness represents maximum required capacity. Direction of twigs represents expected energy transfer direction based on capacities.
Twigs flash along the direction of cable every few seconds.
Flow of balls that represent actual power transfers within the grid. Balls colored based on OD status.
Flow speed and density changes based on power amount flowing (also takes into account thickness to a lesser degree)
Responds quickly to grid changes (wind changes, hub building, solars turning off).
Full support for LOS including ghosting. Ghosts are a frozen snapshot of last-seen geometry, kept in their own VBO with a parallel SSBO of LOS coverage bits, not the live tree rendered grayscale.
Lua does the graph and flow handling, including caching, incremental tree updates (two different algos), aggregate wind updates based on stored min values per windmill.
Geometry shader runs per line and adds cable segments and twigs , samples terrain to path and increase density as needed. Limited to 1024 verts per invocation (engine GS output cap).
It also processes LOS and stores information about seen segments as bit flags into SBO. (Mapped via unique ID from cable nodes).
Fragment shader does cylinder shading/smooth normals, ball flow, twig flashes, processes LOS to decide whether to show live cable, nothing or ghost.
Menu lets you turn cables full/noflow/off and also disable/enable ghosting machinery.
In all cases it disables the logic code when possible to conserve performance — with cables off the gadget short-circuits per-frame work, and toggling ghosts off frees the ghost VBO/SSBO and skips the snapshot path entirely.
Very highly performant, most logic runs on shader independent from engine. Has near zero impact on my machine. Tested extensively.
