# Review 2 Summary: Room Layout Implementation Plans

**Date**: 2025-11-16
**Status**: ✅ **PLANS UPDATED AND READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION**

---

## Review Process

### What Was Done

1. **Comprehensive Document Review**
   - Read all planning documents (README, GRID_SYSTEM, DOOR_PLACEMENT, POSITIONING_ALGORITHM, etc.)
   - Reviewed previous critical review (review1) and recommendations
   - Analyzed implementation steps and TODO list

2. **Scenario Validation**
   - Performed step-by-step trace through ceo_exfil.json scenario
   - Simulated room positioning algorithm
   - Simulated door placement calculations
   - Identified where failures would occur

3. **Critical Bug Identification**
   - Confirmed asymmetric door alignment bug from review1
   - Discovered negative modulo bug (JavaScript `-5 % 2 = -1`)
   - Identified grid alignment rounding ambiguity
   - Found room dimension validation issues

4. **Plan Updates**
   - Integrated all critical fixes into planning documents
   - Updated DOOR_PLACEMENT.md with asymmetric alignment logic
   - Updated POSITIONING_ALGORITHM.md with Math.floor() for alignment
   - Updated GRID_SYSTEM.md with rounding clarification
   - Updated README.md with status of all fixes
   - Made plans self-contained (no references to "review2")

## Critical Issues Found and Fixed

### Issue 1: Negative Modulo Bug ⚠️ CRITICAL
**Problem**: JavaScript's modulo operator returns negative values for negative operands
```javascript
-5 % 2 = -1  // NOT 1
```

**Impact**: Door placement would be incorrect for all rooms with negative grid coordinates (all rooms north or west of starting room)

**Fix Applied**: Updated all door placement functions to use:
```javascript
const sum = gridX + gridY;
const useRightSide = ((sum % 2) + 2) % 2 === 1;
```

**Status**: ✅ Integrated into DOOR_PLACEMENT.md (all 4 directions)

---

### Issue 2: Asymmetric Door Alignment Bug ⚠️ CRITICAL
**Problem**: When room A has multiple doors and room B has single door connecting to room A, doors don't align

**Example from ceo_exfil.json**:
- office1 has 2 north doors (to office2 and office3)
- office2 has 1 south door (to office1)
- office1's first door: 48px
- office2's door (without fix): 112px
- **Misalignment**: 64px (2 tiles)

**Impact**: Doors would not line up, creating impassable connections or visual artifacts

**Fix Applied**: All single-door placement functions now:
1. Check if connected room has multiple connections in opposite direction
2. Find this room's index in that connection array
3. Calculate alignment to match the multi-door spacing
4. Return aligned position

**Status**: ✅ Integrated into DOOR_PLACEMENT.md (all 4 directions: north, south, east, west)

---

### Issue 3: Grid Alignment Rounding Ambiguity ⚠️ CRITICAL
**Problem**: Math.round(-0.5) has implementation-dependent behavior in JavaScript

**Impact**: Small rooms centered above large rooms could be misaligned
- closet (160px) above ceo (320px) → centers at -80px
- Rounding -80/160 = -0.5 could give 0 or -1

**Fix Applied**: All positioning functions now use Math.floor() instead of Math.round()
```javascript
// BEFORE:
x: Math.round(x / GRID_UNIT_WIDTH_PX) * GRID_UNIT_WIDTH_PX

// AFTER:
x: Math.floor(x / GRID_UNIT_WIDTH_PX) * GRID_UNIT_WIDTH_PX
```

**Status**: ✅ Integrated into POSITIONING_ALGORITHM.md (all positioning functions) and documented in GRID_SYSTEM.md

---

## Additional Findings

### Room Dimension Validation
**Finding**: Current room files may have invalid dimensions (e.g., 10×8 tiles)
- Valid heights: 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26... (formula: 2 + 4N)
- Height of 8 doesn't match formula

**Action Required**: Audit all room JSON files BEFORE implementation
- Documented in README.md Phase 0
- Critical path requirement

**Priority**: ⚠️ MUST BE DONE FIRST

---

## Validation Against ceo_exfil.json

### Scenario Structure
```
        [closet]          [server1]
           |                  |
         [ceo]            [office3]
           |                  |
       [office2]-------[office1]
                           |
                      [reception]
```

### Key Test Case
- **office1** has 2 north connections: [office2, office3]
- **office2** has 1 south connection: office1
- **office3** has 1 south connection: office1

### Validation Results

**Without Fixes**: ❌ FAILURE
- Negative modulo: Doors on wrong sides for rooms north of starting room
- Asymmetric alignment: office1↔office2 and office1↔office3 doors misaligned by 64-160px
- Grid rounding: closet position potentially invalid

**With Fixes**: ✅ SUCCESS
- All door placements deterministically correct
- office1's doors at (48px, Y) and (272px, Y)
- office2's door aligns to (48px, Y)
- office3's door aligns to (272px, Y)
- All rooms grid-aligned with consistent rounding
- Scenario will work correctly

---

## Confidence Assessment

### Before Review2
- Door alignment: 30% confident
- Grid positioning: 60% confident
- Overall success: 40%

### After Review2 (With Fixes)
- Door alignment: 95% confident
- Grid positioning: 95% confident
- Overall success: 90%

### Remaining Risks (10%)
1. Unexpected room dimension issues in actual files (5%)
2. Edge cases in more complex scenarios (4%)
3. Performance with large scenarios (<1%)

## Required Actions Before Implementation

### CRITICAL: Phase 0 Must Be Completed First

1. **Audit Room Dimensions** (1-2 hours)
   ```bash
   find assets/tilemaps -name "room_*.json"
   # Check each room's height
   # Valid heights: 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26...
   ```

2. **Update Invalid Rooms** (1-2 hours)
   - Change 10×8 → 10×10 (add 2 rows) OR → 10×6 (remove 2 rows)
   - Test visually in game
   - Document changes

3. **Add Feature Flag** (0.5 hours)
   ```javascript
   // constants.js
   export const USE_NEW_ROOM_LAYOUT = true;
   ```

4. **Test Feature Flag** (0.5 hours)
   - Verify can toggle between old and new systems
   - Ensure old system still works

**Total Phase 0 Time**: 2-4 hours
