Expanded Steam friends and invitations: Ready for testing to Shipped, summary updated. [MCP] Mike, 2026-10-11: testing gate removed; in Steam build 88.270. Findings from ongoing playtests are filed as new bugs.
Deferred from current slice: Owner closed the slice; Steam friends remains in testing outside the new development scope.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to Ready for testing. [MCP] Owner explicitly requested updated release notes and move to testing. Recorded verified 18.147 server activation and selector fix, plus post-build deployment-panel commit 7537020. Testing status does not claim latest Steam distribution or completed acceptance. PLAN-2 remains the acceptance checklist; tester build must include the latest UI fix before that fix can be accepted. No build, upload, deployment or Git push performed for this update.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to In progress. [MCP] Paired server and Windows exports completed as 18.146. Existing addon publish-and-connect verification succeeded and reports testing build 18.146 active. Steam upload dialog prepared for both apps; awaiting owner's upload/authentication and branch clarification (Steamworks currently exposes only default on each app). Steam distribution and real two-account acceptance are still pending. No Coldboot or website backend deployment required.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to In progress. [MCP] Committed Flight Board integration 9852854. Local rendered board and provisioning focus/error tests pass; friend-seat, invitation parsing/lifecycle and Steam identity stub regressions pass. Paired local server/client demonstrated explicit full-syndicate rejection displayed on the new board. PLAN-2 additions recorded in docs/reference/steam-sector-invitations.md. Owner authorized existing testing branches for both Steam apps. Publishing not started: editor MCP disconnected before addon workflow could be invoked. No server activation or Steam upload claimed.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to In progress. [MCP] Added owner-requested friend search beside Friends in the Rift in the standalone prototype. Filters sectors immediately by partial case-insensitive friend name, trims surrounding whitespace, retains each matching sector's full friend/syndicate context and unavailable seats, includes clear control and explicit no-match state. Documented current-query preservation on future live presence refresh. Focused search/clear/no-match checks and existing prototype tests pass; layout inspected at 720p. Still prototype-only before integration.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to In progress. [MCP] Owner-approved sector-card revision implemented in the editor-authored Flight Board prototype and documented in tasks/prd-flight-board.md. Includes two-syndicate and clearly marked four-syndicate future fixtures, compact actions, one-use Random, clickable preferred sigil and six-syndicate selector. Godot rendered 720p/1080p; full/closing routes, independent preference, random eligibility/reset, selector, briefing and focus restoration checks pass. No live matchmaking or release change; real Steam acceptance remains pending.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to In progress. [MCP] Built standalone Flight Board prototype at ui/prototypes/flight_board/flight_board.tscn. Main board, pilot rows, syndicate selector, briefing, sector detail and shared theme are editor-authored resources; no runtime-generated layout controls. Includes explicit Change Syndicate, independent With/Against choices, upcoming per-syndicate rank space and replayable first-play briefing/random suggestion in separate prototype preferences. Rendered at 720p/1080p; focused preference, unavailable-route, selector, briefing and focus checks pass. Layout review precedes live integration; no matchmaking, Steam upload or production preference changes.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to In progress. [MCP] Owner approved Flight Board direction and requested a written plan. tasks/prd-flight-board.md records six delivery stories, editor-editable layouts, per-syndicate advancement, a recommended optional short Wulf briefing plus once-only randomized playable suggestion, and real Steam acceptance. First-play alternative remains a design decision. No code or release changes in this planning turn.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: In progress to In progress. [MCP] Implemented local FEATURE-12 pass: explicit syndicate selection and both seat counts in Friends in the Rift; stable rows across refresh; fresh exact-target checks; Steam invitation overlay and connect presence; running-game callback and startup invitation queue; active-session leave confirmation; app/protocol validation and duplicate suppression. Local seat, parsing, identity and UI/admission regressions pass. PLAN-2 with CASE-5/6/7 records actual two-account Steam acceptance, not yet marked ready pending release selection. Same-app delivery and cross-app limitations remain to be observed on exported clients. No upload or deployment performed; retain In progress until acceptance.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: Next up to In progress. [MCP] Owner approved implementation. Begin with explicit sector/syndicate selection and reliable targeted joining, then native Steam invitations. Keep in-game language consistent with sectors and deployments. Real two-account Steam acceptance remains a playtester requirement.
Expanded Steam friends and invitations: Under consideration to Next up. [MCP] Owner-requested backlog prioritization from playtester discussions. Promote because the owner explicitly asked to ensure finding friends still works. Repair the simple path before investing in the 3D map.
