The Arborwake alpha#
The most complete build is the lead’s Arborwake alpha on the Placeholder branch (bf472ae0a). It needs its own checkout and a local server, because the 3D Threadway is about 300 MB. The wiki cannot carry it as one file.
- To play it locally: in the release checkout, run
npm run build, then servedist/(the lead uses local Wrangler). Ask Codex if you need help. - The public preview at arborwake.glownight.io is an older build (
82c3add) with known faults. See Project status. - How to move and interact: read Controls.
Turn-based demos you can run here#
These test beds come from the agents’ branches. They run straight from this folder. They are newer or older than the alpha’s copies, as each card says.
claude/skills @ 215bfbf · 232 KiB · snapshot 2026-11-02Open full window ↗ · Development test bed by Claude B. The lead installed an earlier engine commit (7d9c46c) in the alpha; this newer tip is not reviewed.

The original opening#
This is the three-minute Circuit Ranger opening that is still on main. You ruled on 29 October that it is an unapproved prototype, so it shows history, not the current game. See Circuit Ranger prototype.

Retired real-time demos#
Turn-based encounters replaced these on 1 November. They stay here so you can compare.
