Mythic Masters: phones start on the low tier and step down when frames drop; the phone row in the budget walk #3683
Description
Follow-up to #3682 (part of #3664, point 4: phones on the low tier).
#3682 makes Mythic Masters read the quality tier (@rustybuns/util/quality) for its renderer and its plant budget. But a phone rarely lands on low today:
- Phones are guessed as high.
guessQualitysees an iPhone as "Apple GPU" (the STRONG pattern), and Safari gives nonavigator.deviceMemory, so 8 GB is assumed and the tier is high: pixel ratio 2, antialias, shadows, every plant. Only?quality=low(remembered after) puts a phone on low. Give a touch device with a small screen mid at most. Better, start it on low and let it step up, or let the game's own frame watch decide. - No step-down. Mythic Masters doesn't run
autoQuality/FrameWatch, so a phone that drops frames stays where it started. Run it in the frame loop. A step-down that changes antialias needs a reload; the pixel ratio, shadows and the plant budget (setPlantBudget) can change live. The plants would need a re-plant on change; flora'sscatterFlorareads the budget each time it plants. - The phone row in the shared walk. Once Cosmo's
walkBudget(scripts/walk-budget.ts) is on main, give it aqualityoption (the page URL's?quality=, orrustybuns.qualityin localStorage) with a column for it, and apartyoption for the party-of-six row. Then put the phone row's limits intest/budget.test.ts.
Done when a phone viewport walk with no ?quality= lands on low (or steps down to it), and the budget test holds the phone row.

Points 1 and 2 are in #3689: a phone is guessed as mid at most, and
FrameBudget/budgetQualitystep the tier down when frames miss the beat and back up when calm. Mythic Masters ticks it.Still open here, for after #3682 and #3689 both merge:
onChange, callsetPlantBudget(q)(from Mythic Masters: plants drawn only where the camera looks, and the quality tier sets the renderer and the plant budget (#3664, phones) #3682), so a drop to low also shrinks the plant ring at the next re-plant.walkBudget, stays with Cosmo's PR.QuinnsCode commentedon Nov 6, 2026
Issue-runner check (2026-11-06): points 1 and 2 are in #3689 (merged). The two items left from the last comment are in PR #3852 (green): a tier step now calls
setPlantBudget, andmain.tsreads the tier once. Checked on a phone viewport with no?quality=: it starts on mid, and with jammed frames it steps to low while the plant reach drops from 1,000,000 to 110 m.Point 3:
scripts/walk-budget.tsalready has the phone row (--only phone) and the party of six (--party 1,6), andtest/budget.test.tsholds the phone limits. The one piece missing is aqualitycolumn (?quality=on the walk's page). It belongs with the frame-budget climb, so phase done here and moved up to #3796.Mythic Masters: a tier step shrinks the plant ring too, and main.ts r…
