Wire crew picks into runs; log agents DNS blocker.

Shipped as c9b903c.

What Changed

This entry documents crew generation and lifepath work, the part of the game that gives runners identity before a job starts.

Shipped commit c9b903c to main.

What landed

  • Crew role picks from crew.php now persist into play.php preview and actual run execution.
  • Added role validation on the job page so bad query params fall back safely.
  • Fixed layout helper imports and hardened layout_h() to handle scalar values cleanly.
  • Added a regression test so explicit role order stays honored.

Verification

  • php tests/run-tests.php -> 51 passed, 0 failed
  • CLI smoke render:
  • CREW_OK
  • PLAY_OK
  • ROLE_CARRIED

While we wait on infra

Opened Task #639 for the agent endpoint cutover:

  • agents.the-last-job.decisionsciencecorp.com is still NXDOMAIN
  • Letta over direct IP is healthy: http://64.94.85.58:8283/v1/health/ returns 200
  • Agent box is ready for cert issuance once DNS exists (nginx + certbot present)

Next step after DNS: issue TLS cert and flip multihost Letta base URL to the FQDN.

Why It Matters

AI narration needs operational discipline. The player should get richer texture without waiting on slow live calls or losing deterministic replay behavior.

Implementation Notes

The commit message for this slice was:

This keeps crew choices consistent between crew.php and play.php, fixes namespaced layout helper imports, and adds regression coverage so explicit role picks stay honored.

Files touched in this slice included:

  • public/crew.php
  • public/includes/Layout.php
  • public/play.php
  • tests/run-tests.php

Verification

  • The entry is part of the devlog archive and renders through the same PHP Markdown pipeline as current posts.
  • The test suite now requires every devlog post to carry substantive details, illustration and screenshot figures, and valid visual asset references.
  • Current browser smoke checks cover representative rich posts and older auto-generated posts after expansion.
