Responsibilities

• simulation/: source of truth for rules and saveable state
• content/: authored data and encounter configuration
• input/: action map and physical control bindings
• assets/: stable manifest keys and asset metadata
• phaser/scenes/: scene orchestration, not game rules
• phaser/view/: render and effect helpers
• ui/: DOM HUD, menus, and narrative panels

Rules

• Phaser scenes read from and write to the simulation through a defined bridge.
• Game state changes should not depend on sprite or tween lifetime.
• Camera behavior should be isolated from combat or movement rules.
• Use DOM for dense text and settings surfaces.
