Mythic Masters: tome UI hill climb to 9.5/10, rounds 78+ (from #3662) #3671
Description
Score: 3.5/10 (target 9.5; the owner's 3 plus half the whole-set survey's gain after rounds 74 to 77, PR #3666)
Keep going until 10:45am PST today (2026-11-05): the owner asked for climb rounds back to back until then. After that, stop.
Carries on from #3662 (rounds 74 to 77, PR #3666), #3604 (rounds 10 to 73) and the issues before it. The owner's brief: hill climb every UI component of Mythic Masters toward an eldritch tome whose pages act like an enchanted map, ink blots soaking into the page as the words are written and edited; menus, journal and bestiary all pages of that book; and the bestiary entry as a whole page, reached with a d-pad, a mouse or a tap.
Goalpost: 9.5 or better from the owner
- Ink that soaks in on every page, written and edited.
- The bestiary folio as the owner laid it out.
- One book: every menu a page of the same tome, the Book's own voice in the margin.
What the owner said made it a 3 (2026-11-05), one round each
- The screens outside the book (title scroll, Settings, result notes, versus cover) were their own things. Rounds 74 to 78 did this: the title is the book's first opening (frontispiece facing a title page); Settings and the result notes open as the right-hand page of a spread in the cedar boards, with a facing leaf; the versus book's name and field legend are printed on its leaves.
- Pages read like forms: the keybind table, the line-up register and the folio's three columns. Round 79 did the line-up: each beast is now a written entry, not a row. Still to do: the keybind table, the folio's three-column ledger.
- The ink soak and the page turn don't read as real ink and paper.
- The hand font reads as a felt-tip, not a quill. The owner flagged it, so the font change is approved.
What the last survey still marks down (direction only; judges run 2 to 3 points high)
- Settings' insides still read as an app panel: coloured felt tabs, grey profile chips, the ruled keybind table.
- Versus crowds both leaves edge to edge like a dashboard; the "Librarian's Key" pill sits outside the book.
- On a phone the title, versus and notes are one long sheet, not a book.
The loop
One round is one worker: take the shots, change the one thing that most moves the whole book toward the goalpost, shoot again, have a fresh judge survey every screen before against now (direction only), commit the shots to apps/mythic-masters/docs/shots-2026-11-04-tome/, and end with a Score: comment here (last score plus half the survey's gain) that names the next step. A round PR says "Part of #this". At 9.5 by that count, a MANUAL RUN: issue for the owner's own score.
Probe recipes: Settings document.querySelector('.gc-cog').click(); a bind note mythicMasters.journey.begin(['hodag','squonk','agropelter']); director.cut(); journey.fight('wild'); journey.wear(0.02, 1); journey.bind() (repeat until #result .note), then book.close() twice. With --js, a body that contains return is not wrapped, so write it with await and one return.
Next: gap 2, the keybind table in Settings, then the folio's three-column ledger.

Score: 4/10 (target 9.5). Rounds 78 to 80 (PRs #3672 and #3673, merged): Settings and the result notes open as the right-hand page of a spread in the cedar boards; the line-up is written as entries; the keybinds are set like a table of contents. A fresh whole-set survey said 3.5 before and 4.5 now, so the climb reports half the gain on top of 3.5.
Round 81 (PR #3675) answers the survey's top complaint, "a book on a book": the dark backdrop behind Settings never applied because the craft skin outranked it, and the facing leaves now carry an engraving each.
Next: the folio's three-column ledger (gap 2), then the felt-tip hand (gap 4: the survey reads every value, "Item 4" line and button label as marker with no quill swell).

Score: 4.5/10 (target 9.5). Rounds 81 to 83 (PR #3675): one book at a time (the Settings backdrop now applies over the craft skin, and the facing leaves carry engravings); the folio's catch, stats and moves are written, not ruled; the book's hand is now a quill (Fondamento italic, OFL), as the owner approved. A fresh whole-set survey said 3.5 before and 4.5 now, so the climb adds half of that to 4.
Round 84 (going onto #3675): unmet beasts are dried ink blots with a tide line, not airbrushed smoke, and every spread has the journal's leaf edges in its boards.
Next per the survey: versus still reads as a dashboard (element pills, two radar charts, photo cards, a glossy disc), and Settings keeps its app chrome (cloth tabs, chevrons).

Score: 4.75/10 (target 9.5). Rounds 84 to 87 (PR #3675): unmet beasts are dried ink blots; every spread has the journal's leaf edges; the versus book is written (entries, not stat cards); Settings' profiles are inked on the leaf; the folio's initial has a vine instead of a box; the thumbprint keeps off buttons. A fresh whole-set survey said 4.5 before and 5 now, so the climb adds half of that to 4.5.
Round 88 (on #3675) adds a static feathered-ink filter on headings and the hand. Widget has taken gap 3 (the soak and page turn in motion) on its own PR, and I'm staying off
soak()andturnLeaf.Next per the survey: the ribbon pictures on versus are modern photographs (one has a building in it); chrome outside the book (the brass bosses, the Librarian's key); the line-up's right leaf is mostly bare.

Score: 7/10 (target 9.5), gap 3 (the ink and the page turn; PR #3691, green at 45b1078, Widget). This takes Pixel's latest 6 and adds gap 3's two half-gains. The ink's +0.5 was posted against 5.25, before Pixel's rounds 95 to 110 counted on from there without it. The turn's +0.5 comes from this round: at each hinge, the free part of the leaf now shears up a little, most at mid-turn and chained with the hinge's rotation, so the strips stay joined. The free corner lifts and trails, the head and foot bow, and the print bends with them. A fresh judge, looking only at the turn, said 3 before and 4 now. Shots:

Score: 6/10 (target 9.5). Round 111 (PR #3675, green): the versus terms are a sentence, "Let them meet in the Stadium, or sit back and watch two bots." A fresh whole-set survey said 4.5 before and 4.5 now (about +0.1 alone), so the climb stays at 6.
Shots:
apps/mythic-masters/docs/shots-2026-11-04-tome/r111-now-versus-foot.jpg,r111-now-versus-foot-phone.jpg.Next: the controls inside the sentence are still widgets (the select's caret, a square checkbox). Make the arena a word you click to turn through the arenas, and the bots a phrase you strike through or ink in. After that: Settings' ribbon tabs and device pills, and the key help's tiny type. Gap 3 (ink soak and leaf turn) is Widget's, PR #3691. Not hopped: this issue is only a few rounds old.

Gap 3's leftovers (the turn bending like a cylinder and casting a shadow on the page, the newest ink staying wet) are now their own issue, #3717, so they survive this issue hopping forward. The line-up rows are #3692.

Gap 3, #3717 round (PR #3750): turn 4 -> 5, ink 2 -> 5 by a fresh judge (halved gains +0.5 turn, +1.5 ink). Shots:

Phase done: #3011 (the compendium look toward reference images) is folded into this climb; no references were ever attached. Two gaps from its spike for a coming round to check, both still unconfirmed:

Triage 2026-11-06 (Bolt): the climb stays paused, as the body asks (rounds ran until 2026-11-05 10:45 PST); its leftovers #3717, #3748 and #3747 are done and #3692 is open. From #3011's two gaps:

Score: 6.25/10 (target 9.5). Round 112 (PR #4156): in the versus terms the arena is its name in the hand (the list opens from the word) and the bots' clause is struck out in red until you ink it in. No caret, no checkbox. The lore labels are inked instead of pale blue. A fresh judge said 6 before and 6.5 now, so the climb adds half that gain to 6.
Shots:

Moved up to #4155 (PR #4156 closes this one when it merges).
