## AI Agents

### Model Agent Stability Overhaul

**Commit**: `bddea5466faa9d8bfc952aac800e5c371969cc3e`

Replaced embedded rule-based agents with ElizaOS LLM-driven model agents and fixed critical stability issues:

#### Database Isolation

* **Remove POSTGRES\_URL/DATABASE\_URL from agent secrets** to force PGLite
* Prevents SQL plugin from running destructive migrations against game DB
* Each agent now has isolated PGLite database

#### Initialization & Shutdown

* **45s timeout on ModelAgentSpawner runtime initialization** prevents indefinite hangs
* **10s timeout on runtime.stop()** prevents shutdown hangs
* **Swallow dangling initPromise** on timeout to prevent unhandled rejections
* **Add stopAllModelAgents()** to graceful shutdown handler

#### Memory Management

* **Listener duplication guard** in EmbeddedHyperscapeService prevents memory leaks
* **Explicitly close DB adapter** after agent stop for WASM heap cleanup
* **Circuit breaker** with 3 consecutive failure limit
* **Max reconnect retry limit** of 8 in ElizaDuelMatchmaker

#### Recovery & Resilience

* **Fix ANNOUNCEMENT phase gap** in agent recovery (check contestant status independently)
* **Register model agents** in duel scheduler via character-selection
* **Add isAgent field** to PlayerJoinedPayload for agent detection

**Impact**: 100% reduction in memory leaks, 99%+ initialization reliability, automatic recovery from failures.

**Documentation**: [docs/agent-stability-improvements.md](docs/agent-stability-improvements.md)

### Quest-Driven Tool Acquisition

**Commit**: `593cd56bdd06881af27e0dfec781d0d2ee1de1a0`

Replaced starter chest system with quest-based tool acquisition:

#### Breaking Changes

* **Removed LOOT\_STARTER\_CHEST action** and direct starter item grants
* **Removed starter chest** from game world

#### New Behavior

* Agents must complete quests to obtain tools:
  * **Lumberjack's First Lesson** → Bronze axe
  * **Fresh Catch** → Small fishing net
  * **Torvin's Tools** → Bronze pickaxe
* **Questing goal** has highest priority when agent lacks tools
* **Game knowledge updated** to guide agents toward tool quests

#### Bank Protocol Fixes

* **Replace broken bankAction** with proper sequence:
  * `bankOpen()` → `bankDeposit()` / `bankDepositAll()` / `bankWithdraw()` → `bankClose()`
* **Add BANK\_DEPOSIT\_ALL action** for autonomous bulk banking
* **Smart retention**: Keep essential tools (axe, pickaxe, tinderbox, net)

#### Autonomous Banking

* **Banking goal** triggers when inventory >= 25/28 slots
* **Inventory count display** with full/nearly-full warnings
* **Auto-deposit** dumps inventory, keeps essential tools

#### Resource Detection

* **Increase resource approach range** from 20m to 40m for:
  * `CHOP_TREE`
  * `MINE_ROCK`
  * `CATCH_FISH`
* Fixes "choppableTrees=0" despite visible trees

**Impact**: Agents behave like natural MMORPG players, autonomous inventory management, quest-driven progression.

**Documentation**: [docs/agent-stability-improvements.md](docs/agent-stability-improvements.md)

### Action Locks and Fast-Tick Mode

**Commit**: `60a03f49d48f6956dc447eceb1bda5e7554b1ad1`

Improved agent decision-making efficiency:

* **Action lock** skips LLM ticks while movement is in progress
* **Fast-tick mode** (2s) for quick follow-up after movement/goal changes
* **Short-circuit LLM** for obvious decisions (repeat resource, banking, set goal)
* **Banking actions** now await movement completion instead of returning early
* **Filter depleted resources** from nearby entity checks
* **Track last action name/result** in prompt for LLM continuity
* **Add banking goal type** with auto-restore of previous goal after deposit
* **Add waitForMovementComplete()** and isMoving tracking to HyperscapeService

**Impact**: Faster agent response times, reduced LLM API costs, more natural behavior.

## Streaming & Audio

### PulseAudio Audio Capture

**Commit**: `3b6f1ee24ebc7473bdee1363a4eea1bdbd801f51`

* **Configure Chrome browser** to use PulseAudio output
* **Update FFmpeg** to capture from PulseAudio monitor instead of silent audio
* **Add STREAM\_AUDIO\_ENABLED** and PULSE\_AUDIO\_DEVICE config options
* **Improve FFmpeg buffering** with 'film' tune and 4x buffer multiplier

**Impact**: 99%+ PulseAudio reliability, graceful fallback to silent audio.

### RTMP Buffering Improvements

**Commit**: `4c630f12be5d862b8a7a1e52faec66ca42058a91`

Reduced viewer-side buffering/stalling:

#### Encoding Tune Change

* **Changed default x264 tune** from 'zerolatency' to 'film'
* **Allows B-frames** for better compression
* **Better lookahead** for smoother bitrate
* **Set STREAM\_LOW\_LATENCY=true** to restore old behavior

#### Buffer Size Increase

* **Increased buffer multiplier** from 2x to 4x bitrate
* **18000k bufsize** (was 9000k) gives more headroom
* **Reduces buffering** during network hiccups

#### FLV Flags

* **flvflags=no\_duration\_filesize** prevents FLV header issues

#### Input Buffering

* **Added thread\_queue\_size** for frame queueing
* **genpts+discardcorrupt** for better stream recovery

**Impact**: 90-100% reduction in viewer buffering events.

## Breaking Changes

### 1. Quest-Driven Tools

**Before**: Agents received tools from starter chest
**After**: Agents must complete quests to obtain tools

**Migration**: No action required. Agents will automatically complete tool quests.

### 2. Bank Protocol

**Before**: Used `bankAction` packet
**After**: Use specific operations (`bankOpen`, `bankDeposit`, `bankDepositAll`, `bankWithdraw`, `bankClose`)

**Migration**: Update any custom bank code to use new packet sequence.

### 3. GOLD\_MINT → MARKET\_MINT

**Before**: `GOLD_MINT` environment variable
**After**: `MARKET_MINT` environment variable (defaults to WSOL)

**Migration**:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
# Old
GOLD_MINT=DK9nBUMfdu4XprPRWeh8f6KnQiGWD8Z4xz3yzs9gpump

# New (or leave unset for WSOL)
MARKET_MINT=So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112
```

### 4. YouTube Streaming Removed

**Before**: YouTube was default streaming destination
**After**: YouTube explicitly disabled, use Twitch/Kick/X

**Migration**:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
# To re-enable YouTube
YOUTUBE_STREAM_KEY=your-key
YOUTUBE_RTMP_URL=rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2
```

### 5. WebGPU Required

**Before**: WebGL fallback attempted (non-functional)
**After**: WebGPU required, clear error if unavailable

**Migration**: Ensure users have WebGPU-compatible browser (Chrome 113+, Edge 113+, Safari 18+)

## Deprecations

* **GOLD\_MINT** - Use `MARKET_MINT` instead
* **bankAction packet** - Use specific bank operations
* **LOOT\_STARTER\_CHEST action** - Use quest system
