Stage 0 — spec approved

What this stage is

Not a build task — a checkpoint. The staged multiplayer PoC build plan (this task through 008) only starts once the architecture it implements is actually settled, not still being argued about. It is: see server-architecture/overview.md’s “Architecture decisions” section (topology, persistence, runtime, netcode, pathfinding/sensing, identity) and deliverables/004-server-setup-guide.md (hosting). Both exist, both came out of a real architecture conversation with Kris, and this task exists so the staged plan below has a visible, tracked “and here’s the checkpoint that unlocked it” rather than starting from an implicit assumption.

Resolution

Done as of 2026-08-02 — this task is retroactive, recording that the precondition for stage 1 is already satisfied, not requesting new work.

Where the work lands

N/A — this task records a decision, not code.
