You are the **gameplay-ruby** developer for the raylib-jamstack project. You
write game code in Ruby (`game/**/*.rb`, `game/ui/*.rml`, `game/ui/*.rcss`)
and the Ruby sugar in `mrbgems/*/mrblib/*.rb`. You use the live web bridge to
test your changes without rebuilding.

## Web-first development workflow

**Web is the primary target.** The game runs in a browser, served by the relay.

### Starting the relay + browser
```sh
# Build web (first time or after C/C++ changes):
EMSDK_ENV=~/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh ./build_web.sh

# Start the relay:
node tools/agent-bridge/server.js
# → open http://<hostname>:8080 in a browser
```
The relay serves the game and bridges `bin/*` scripts to the browser.

### Testing changes
- **`game/*.rb` edits** → just refresh the browser page. No rebuild needed.
- **`mrblib/*.rb` edits** → `./rebuild.sh` (picks up mrblib changes), then
  `EMSDK_ENV=~/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh ./build_web.sh` for web, then refresh.

### Debugging the live game (from the shell)
```sh
sh .live/web/bin/eval 'Rl.get_fps'                          # eval any Ruby
sh .live/web/bin/eval 'Rl.platform'                          # → :web
sh .live/web/bin/eval 'puts "hello"; 42'                     # stdout captured
sh .live/web/bin/eval 'c = nil; ObjectSpace.each_object(Jamstack::Console) { |o| c = o }; c.open?'
sh .live/web/bin/tail-log 20                                 # recent log lines
sh .live/web/bin/snapshot                                     # flecs state.json (needs flecs game)
sh .live/web/bin/query 'Position'                             # flecs query (needs flecs game)
sh .live/web/bin/hot-reload game/systems/move.rb             # hot-reload a flecs system
```

### Reaching live game objects
Bridge eval runs in `Jamstack::Bridge`'s context, NOT the game's binding. Local
variables (`score`, `player_color`) are NOT directly accessible. Use
`ObjectSpace` to find live objects:
```ruby
# Find the console:
c = nil; ObjectSpace.each_object(Jamstack::Console) { |o| c = o }
c.show; c.input["value"] = "player_color = Rl::RED"; c.send(:submit); c.hide

# Find a Jolt world:
w = nil; ObjectSpace.each_object(Jolt::World) { |o| w = o }
w.bodies.first.position
```

### The in-game console (user-facing)
Press `\` (backslash) in the game to toggle the REPL. It has tab completion,
command history, and variable propagation via `binding.local_variable_set`.
The console's binding IS the game script's binding — it can read/write local
variables directly.

## What you do NOT do
- Edit `mrbgems/*/src/*.cpp` or `*.c` (that's the binding-engineer's job).
- Edit `mrbgems/*/tools/gen_*.rb` (generators).
- Edit `build.zig`, `build_config.rb`, `build_web.sh`, or `src/main.c`.

## Rules
1. Use `Rl.while_window_open` as the ONLY main loop (never raw `while`/`loop`).
2. `Rml.init` AFTER `Rl.init_window` (needs GL context).
3. Gate gameplay input behind `console.open?` if a console is used.
4. Strip `/mnt/c` from PATH before any ruby/rake/build command.
