Add approved & assigned issue number here:

Resolves #5057

Description:

This PR normalizes mirv warhead speed, towards 14 ticks (editable in config). Various numbers and tweaks have been tested to make this feel as smooth as possible. Better MIRV shots from a better player will still provide clear benefits, but the variance and extremes have been vastly toned down.
Edited parabola / line logic to allow for 256 levels of subspeed. This is compliant because the curve uses 256x scaled bit logic - we just didn't take advantage of this before.
Eliminates map edge benefits for MIRV as well, this should be done for every nuke IMO but not within the scope.

Please complete the following:

  • I have added relevant tests to the test directory

Walkthrough

MIRV launch timing now uses deterministic speed derived from Bézier path lengths and configured normalization ticks. Parabola control points support optional map-bound bypassing. Fixed-point curve calculations support length measurement. Tests cover MIRV timing and trajectory cases.

Changes

MIRV speed normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parabola and Bézier geometry
src/core/pathfinding/PathFinder.Parabola.ts, src/core/utilities/Line.ts, tests/core/utilities/Line.test.ts
Parabola control points use TileRef values and optional map-bound clamping. DistanceBasedBezierCurve uses fixed-point scaling and provides getLength. Tests cover curved and straight paths.
Deterministic MIRV speed initialization
src/core/configuration/Config.ts, src/core/execution/MIRVExecution.ts, tests/nukes/HydrogenAndMirv.test.ts
MIRV speed is calculated after launch separation data is available. The calculation uses the actual clamped parabola, normalized target ticks, and deterministic integer-based math. Tests cover short-distance, long-distance, and map-edge trajectories.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3335a

MIRV timing and geometry are being normalized, but the current implementation adds floating-point speed calculations to deterministic simulation and retains tests that may not reliably validate short flights or use the required setup. The PR should not merge until these concerns are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Approve with one suggestion — the math and determinism story check out, but the PR's core new behavior isn't actually covered by a test.

Findings by severity: 0 Critical, 0 High, 1 Medium, 0 Low

Medium

src/core/execution/MIRVExecution.ts — new calculateDeterministicSpeed() (~lines 296-368), long-flight branch (~lines 331-336)

This method is the headline feature of the PR (normalizing MIRV flight time toward mirvNormalizeTargetTicks()), with distinct long-flight (idealMirvTicksInt > baseTicksScaled, the branch that removes the map-edge-bounce benefit — the PR's stated purpose) and short-flight branches. It's also the first caller of the new ignoreMapBounds: true option on getParabolaControlPoints() (src/core/pathfinding/PathFinder.Parabola.ts).

None of the tests touched by this PR exercise this behavior:

  • tests/nukes/HydrogenAndMirv.test.ts's "Short-distance MIRV launch" test was updated (nukeSpeed 15→50, added mirvNormalizeTargetTicks() returning 2), but its target tile equals the silo tile, so it only ever drives the short-flight branch, and its assertions are only on waitTicks bounds — nothing about speed, flight-tick convergence, or the normalization math itself.
  • tests/core/utilities/Line.test.ts's new test only covers the generic DistanceBasedBezierCurve.getLength() helper, not the MIRV-specific normalization that consumes it.
  • No test references ignoreMapBounds, and tests/core/pathfinding/UniversalPathFinding.Parabola.test.ts (untouched) only exercises the default (bounds-clamped) path.

Per CLAUDE.md: "All src/core changes must include tests." The long-flight normalization heuristic — the actual feature this PR ships — has no assertion validating it converges toward the target tick count or that the map-edge-bounce removal actually changes behavior for a long-range shot.

Suggested fix: Add a test case with a genuinely long-range MIRV launch (large distance between silo and target, using the default/slow TestConfig or a config with a small mirvNormalizeTargetTicks() override) that asserts the resulting flight duration/tick count lands near the configured target, and ideally one that demonstrates a shot landing near a map edge no longer arrives faster than an equivalent-distance shot away from the edge.


Note: floating-point usage (Math.sqrt, non-integer division) in the new code was also reviewed against CLAUDE.md's "no floating-point math" determinism rule. It's consistent with pervasive, already-accepted patterns elsewhere in src/core (NukeExecution.ts, Config.ts, PathFinder.Parabola.ts), and Math.sqrt/division/floor/round are IEEE-754 correctly-rounded and deterministic across engines (the PR's own comment correctly notes it deliberately avoids Math.pow for this reason). Not flagged as an issue.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Approve with one substantive finding — the normalization math is sound and well-tested, but the map-edge exploit this PR claims to fix is only partially closed.

Findings by severity: 1 Medium, 0 High/Critical, 0 Low. No CLAUDE.md violations found (determinism, dependency, and test-coverage rules were all checked and are respected).


src/core/execution/MIRVExecution.ts

Medium — the "map edge" exploit fix is incomplete for targets near the top of the map.

calculateDeterministicSpeed (introduced at src/core/execution/MIRVExecution.ts:297-297, ideal-length calc at :303-308) computes the "ideal" (unclamped) flight length using getParabolaControlPoints(..., { ignoreMapBounds: true }), explicitly to "prevent top of map shenanigans." However, separateDst itself is computed before this call, by pre-existing unchanged code at src/core/execution/MIRVExecution.ts:100:

const y = Math.max(0, this.baseY - 500) + 50;

ignoreMapBounds only disables clamping of the interior Bezier control points inside getParabolaControlPoints (src/core/pathfinding/PathFinder.Parabola.ts) — it does not affect the endpoints p0/p3, which are taken verbatim from spawnTile/separateDst. So for any target with baseY < 500, separateDst.y still floors toward 50, and this floored value feeds into both the "ideal" and "actual" length calculations equally.

Concrete example (nukeSpeed=15, baseTicks=14, identical 200px spawn→target range in both cases):

  • Near-top target (baseY=100): ideal ≈ 254.5px → ~16.7 target ticks
  • Interior target (baseY=700): ideal ≈ 661.9px → ~24.6 target ticks

That's a ~32% shorter combat window for the near-top shot despite identical range — the same class of exploit the PR sets out to fix, just reduced from ~5x to ~2x rather than eliminated. The new "avoids map-edge-bounce acceleration" test in tests/nukes/HydrogenAndMirv.test.ts doesn't catch this because it runs on the plains test map (100x100), where every tile has baseY < 500, so both compared shots collapse to the same separateDst.y = 50 and only the control-point clamp path gets exercised — never the case above.

Suggested fix: Either use ignoreMapBounds (or an equivalent unclamped y) when computing the ideal separateDst's y-coordinate too (so the ideal-length calculation isn't itself capped by the baseY - 500 floor), or add a test case on a map tall enough to have targets with baseY > 500 and baseY < 500 at equal horizontal range, to confirm target ticks converge as intended.


No other high-confidence bugs or CLAUDE.md violations were found. (One additional candidate — a minimum-forward-progress guard in src/core/utilities/Line.ts's increment() that wasn't rescaled by the new SUB_SCALE factor — was investigated and ruled out: it's provably unreachable, since every current caller clamps its speed to ≥ 1.)

@JB940, there is one remaining requested change.

It is an outdated but unresolved thread in tests/nukes/HydrogenAndMirv.test.ts. It requests this assertion change:

expect(minWaitTicks).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(7);

The other two findings were withdrawn and resolved.

GitHub still shows “requesting changes” because the original CodeRabbit review has the CHANGES_REQUESTED state. Resolve or withdraw the remaining outdated thread to clear the last requested change.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No high-signal issues found — this PR looks correct and safe to merge.

Findings by severity: Critical: 0 · High: 0 · Medium: 0 · Low: 0

Review scope

Reviewed the full diff (src/core/configuration/Config.ts, src/core/execution/MIRVExecution.ts, src/core/pathfinding/PathFinder.Parabola.ts, src/core/utilities/Line.ts, and the accompanying test changes) for:

  • CLAUDE.md compliance (two independent passes) — determinism rules for src/core (seeded PRNG, no non-IEEE-754-guaranteed floating point), the "all src/core changes must include tests" rule, and i18n.
  • Obvious bugs / logic errors (two independent passes), including a manual trace of the new calculateDeterministicSpeed() fixed-point math and the subdividesharedSubdivide refactor in Line.ts.

Notes (not blocking, informational only)

  • Math.sqrt/Math.floor/Math.round and basic + - * / used throughout the new speed-normalization math are IEEE-754 correctly-rounded and therefore deterministic across engines — consistent with this repo's existing DetMath.ts (which only replaces Math.exp/log/pow/atan2, the non-correctly-rounded transcendentals). No determinism concerns here.
  • The subdividestatic sharedSubdivide refactor in Line.ts correctly updates both recursive call sites (verified against the raw diff) — no leftover this.subdivide(...) calls.
  • tests/core/utilities/Line.test.ts and tests/nukes/HydrogenAndMirv.test.ts were updated with coverage for getLength(), short/long-flight normalization, and the map-edge-consistency fix, satisfying the "core changes must include tests" rule.
  • As a byproduct of extracting getParabolaControlPoints(), a pre-existing typo (p2.y using dx instead of dy) is silently fixed, which affects the arc shape for all parabola users (not just MIRV). This looks like a genuine correctness improvement rather than a regression, but worth a quick sanity check/playtest on non-MIRV nuke trajectories (e.g. Hydrogen Bomb) since it wasn't explicitly called out in the PR description.

No inline comments were posted since no issues were found.
