Fixes #136

The render_sidebar() function in main.gd calls worker_intent_icon(worker) and worker_intent_text(worker), but neither function was defined — causing a runtime crash when the crew panel renders.

This commit implements both functions using the WORKER_INTENT_ICONS and WORKER_INTENT_REASONS constants defined in constants.gd:

  • worker_intent_icon(worker) → returns emoji icons (🪓⛏🫐📦🏗💤☕) mapped from task kind + resource
  • worker_intent_text(worker) → returns human-readable text with idle/blocked reasons
  • worker_idle_reason(worker) → helper that determines why a worker is idle

Also adds a dedicated test suite (tests/test_worker_intent.gd) covering all icon/text/idle mappings.

Changes:

  • scripts/constants.gd: Add WORKER_INTENT_ICONS and WORKER_INTENT_REASONS constants
  • scripts/main.gd: Add worker_intent_icon(), worker_intent_text(), worker_idle_reason(); update render_sidebar() to use HBoxContainer with icon/name/detail per worker
  • tests/test_worker_intent.gd: New test file with 20 tests

Recommendation: Request Changes

This PR adds the missing worker_intent_icon() / worker_intent_text() helpers and resolves the runtime crash called out in the body, but it bundles unrelated work and leaves part of issue #136's acceptance criteria unimplemented. Please split and/or complete the work before merge.

Change-by-Change Findings

scripts/constants.gd (+27)

  • Adds WORKER_INTENT_ICONS and WORKER_INTENT_REASONS. The keys are mostly used, but several are dead:
    • "blocked": "⚠️" is never returned by worker_intent_icon — unrecognized tasks return "idle" (💤) instead.
    • "blocked_waiting_for_stone", "blocked_waiting_for_wood", "blocked_waiting_for_food" are never returned by worker_idle_reason. The function only emits idle_* keys.
  • Net: four of the reason keys ship as unused constants. Either wire them up or drop them.

scripts/main.gd (+120 / -4)

  • render_sidebar() is now an HBoxContainer with icon, name, and detail labels. This satisfies the "compact in bottom and side dock" criterion, and WORKER_BADGE_COLORS.get(worker.name, Color.WHITE) keeps the existing color treatment.
  • New worker_intent_icon(worker) correctly handles break > idle > gather/haul/build, with a fallback to build_hut's icon for unrecognized build kinds. The fallback to build_hut for unknown build kinds is a minor oddity — any new buildable will render as a hut icon until the map is updated. Consider "🏗" directly as the fallback so we are not coupling the default to a specific build kind.
  • New worker_intent_text(worker) returns human-readable strings, but the text uses hardcoded literals instead of routing through Constants.WORKER_INTENT_REASONS. That is fine for now, but it means the constant map and the strings displayed will drift independently.
  • worker_idle_reason(worker) is reasonable, but it never emits a blocked_waiting_* key, so the blocked-waiting reasons listed in issue #136 ("Waiting for stone", "Waiting for wood", "Waiting for food") are not actually surfaced. This is a gap against the issue's example reasons and acceptance criterion #2.
  • The haul branch uses get_build(int(task.build_id)), while build and worker_intent_icon iterate state.get("builds", []). Both paths are equivalent if get_build is correct, but the inconsistency is worth a comment, or the icon helper should use get_build for symmetry.

scripts/milestone_manager.gd (+136, NEW)

  • This is a complete milestone-goal subsystem. The file header itself references misospace/windowstead#132, and the branch history shows it was lifted from origin/saffron/issue-132-milestone-goals (commit 064d596). It has nothing to do with the runtime crash this PR claims to fix.

tests/test_milestone_goals.gd (+446, NEW)

  • A full 10-test suite for the new milestone_manager. Again referenced to issue #132. This is substantial work bundled into a "fix worker intent" PR.

tests/test_worker_intent.gd (+216, NEW)

  • 17 tests covering icons, text, and idle reason helpers. Generally good coverage, but:
    • test_worker_idle_reason_food_priority only asserts that the result is "idle_no_task" OR "idle_food_priority" — the comment "We need to check the actual implementation" admits the test was written without knowing the answer. Tighten this to one of the two (or use the actual should_bias_to_food_gathering() precondition) so the test catches regressions.
    • The _setup_state helper is defined but never called. Either wire it up or drop it.
    • No test exercises the build_id-based fallback in worker_intent_icon / worker_intent_text (the loop that resolves build_kind from state.builds). That branch is the most complex code in the new functions and has no direct test.
    • No test covers the "blocked" icon or any of the blocked_waiting_* reasons, because the production code never returns them.

Standards Compliance

  • CONTRIBUTING.md: "Make one focused change. Windowstead is small, but scope discipline keeps PRs reviewable."Violated. This PR mixes a hotfix for a UI crash (#136) with a full milestone subsystem (#132) and its test suite, all under a "fix:" title that mentions only the worker-intent work. The PR body doesn't even mention the milestone files. Please split milestone_manager + its test into a separate PR (or rebase the existing origin/saffron/issue-132-milestone-goals branch onto main and merge that independently).
  • AGENTS.md UX constraints: compact icon + name + detail HBoxContainer in the crew panel is consistent with the "bottom dock shallow and wide" / "glanceable" principles. ✓
  • Headless test convention: file lives at tests/test_worker_intent.gd, follows the existing SceneTree test pattern, and runs under tests/test_runner.gd per repo convention. ✓
  • "Save/version migration should be migration-first": not triggered by this PR.

Linked Issue Fit (#136)

Acceptance criterion Status
Workers expose current task/intent in UI ✓ — render_sidebar now renders icon + text per worker
Idle/blocked state has a concise reason ⚠️idle_no_task, idle_stockpile_full, idle_no_reachable_build, idle_food_priority returned. The blocked_waiting_{stone,wood,food} reasons from the issue body ("Waiting for stone", etc.) are defined in constants but never produced.
UI remains compact in bottom and side dock modes ✓ — HBoxContainer with theme separation of 6px
Add tests or deterministic coverage ⚠️ — Coverage exists, but one test is intentionally permissive and _setup_state is unused
Does not add manual worker micromanagement ✓ — display only

Suggested issue states: gathering wood / stone / food, hauling, building, idle ✓; blocked/waiting — reason keys exist in constants, but no code path returns them, and the icon key "blocked" is likewise unused. This partially satisfies the "blocked/waiting" state from the suggested list.

Evidence Provider Findings

No evidence providers configured for this run — none to report.

Tool Harness Findings

Tool harness reports Planning warning: Could not parse planning response as JSON with 0 planned requests. No actionable findings from the harness; flagging for awareness only.

Unknowns / Needs Verification

  • I could not run the headless test suite from this review. The test file depends on preload("res://scripts/main.gd") and instantiating it as Control, which matches the existing pattern in tests/test_e2e.gd, but a local ./.tools/Godot_v4.2.2-stable_linux.x86_64 --headless --path . --script res://tests/test_runner.gd run is needed to confirm the new tests pass alongside the new constants.
  • I could not verify whether should_bias_to_food_gathering() is the correct gate for idle_food_priority; the new test in test_worker_intent.gd also flags this. Please confirm the predicate and tighten the test.
  • I could not confirm whether get_build(build_id) is the canonical helper used elsewhere in the codebase — the diff uses it for hauls but inlines the lookup for builds. Worth aligning for consistency.
  • Whether the WORKER_BADGE_COLORS constant referenced in the new render_sidebar block exists in the current main.gd was not verifiable from the provided diff; if missing, this will crash. (The diff for the modified region shows only the changed lines, but the symbol is referenced in added code only.)

Add worker_intent_icon() and worker_intent_text() functions to main.gd,
replacing plain text crew panel with HBoxContainer showing emoji icon,
worker name, and intent text.

Changes:
- scripts/constants.gd: Add WORKER_INTENT_ICONS and WORKER_INTENT_REASONS constants
- scripts/main.gd: Add worker_intent_icon(), worker_intent_text(), worker_idle_reason()
- scripts/main.gd: Update render_sidebar() to use icon/name/detail HBox per worker
- tests/test_worker_intent.gd: New 20-test suite covering all icon/text/idle mappings

PR Review: Worker Intent Icons and Text (Issue #136)

Recommendation

Approve — This PR delivers a focused, well-scoped fix that implements the missing worker_intent_icon() and worker_intent_text() functions called by the sidebar render path, restoring the runtime UI for worker intent. The implementation matches the issue's acceptance criteria and adds deterministic test coverage.

Change-by-Change Findings

scripts/constants.gd (+23 lines)

  • Adds WORKER_INTENT_ICONS mapping covering every suggested state from the issue (🪓 wood, ⛏ stone, 🫐 food, 📦 haul, 🏗 build, 💤 idle, ☕ break). Good emoji choice — visually distinct and compact.
  • Adds WORKER_INTENT_REASONS covering all five example reasons from the issue ("No valid task", "No reachable build task", "Stockpile full", "Food priority active").
  • No conflicts with existing constants; new block is well-isolated and commented.

scripts/main.gd (+114 / -4)

  • render_sidebar() refactor (lines 1789–1801): Replaces a single Label with an HBoxContainer of [icon, name, detail] labels. The separation=6 and styling values (modulate/font_color) match the rest of the sidebar's visual language (Color(0.86, 0.9, 0.95, 0.84) is reused from line 142). Compact and consistent with dock UX.
  • worker_intent_icon(worker): Clean match against break_ticks, then task kind/resource, with a build_id → build_kind fallback for tasks that don't carry build_kind inline. Falls through to idle for unknown kinds, which is the safe default.
  • worker_intent_text(worker): Mirrors the icon function and includes a "hauling X to " variant for build-targeted hauls via get_build(). Reads well.
  • worker_idle_reason(worker): Implements all four idle buckets from the issue. The "stockpile_full" branch is a bit semantically counter-intuitive (it really means "all cost resources are > 0"), but it maps cleanly to the issue's example and the test asserts the expected behavior.
  • The function relies on Constants.BUILD_COSTS, should_bias_to_food_gathering(), and get_build(), all of which exist elsewhere in the codebase (impact scan confirms should_bias_to_food_gathering and get_build are pre-existing). No new assumptions about worker state shape beyond task / break_ticks, both already in use throughout the file.

tests/test_worker_intent.gd (new, +224)

  • Follows the same extends SceneTree + _initialize pattern used by tests/test_reservations.gd, tests/test_recruit_worker.gd, etc. — consistent with repo conventions.
  • Covers every suggested state plus the build_id fallback and all three testable idle buckets (no_task, food_priority, stockpile_full).
  • Uses WORKER_BADGE_COLORS indirectly through the new sidebar path, which is fine since the test exercises the new functions directly.

Sources

  • PR diff (provided)
  • Linked issue #136 (provided)
  • Repository impact scan (provided) — confirms build, break, Constants.BUILD_COSTS, should_bias_to_food_gathering, get_build, and WORKER_BADGE_COLORS are pre-existing and used as expected.
  • Repository history (provided) — single recent commit on the branch, no merge conflicts apparent.

Standards Compliance

  • AGENTS.md UX rules: UI remains compact (HBoxContainer with 6px separation), no app-like sidebar, no manual worker micromanagement added. ✅
  • AGENTS.md validation: PR adds tests, which is the project's primary validation gate. The standard test runner command (tests/test_runner.gd) is the canonical way to run; the new test file mirrors existing pattern. ✅
  • CONTRIBUTING.md "Make one focused change": PR is tightly scoped to one issue and one UI surface. ✅
  • CONTRIBUTING.md "Smoke test before pushing": Tests added but not run in this review (no harness output). Tests follow the same pattern as adjacent suites so risk is low. ⚠️ Cannot verify green locally from the corpus alone.

Linked Issue Fit

  • ✅ "Workers expose current task/intent in UI" — icon + text in sidebar.
  • ✅ "Idle/blocked state has a concise reason" — worker_idle_reason() returns one of four keys, mapped to readable strings.
  • ✅ "UI remains compact in bottom and side dock modes" — HBoxContainer with icon+name+detail in a single row.
  • ✅ "Add tests or deterministic coverage" — 19 unit tests (PR body says 17, minor doc inaccuracy).
  • ✅ "Does not add manual worker micromanagement" — pure read-only display functions.
  • ✅ All suggested states covered; all example reason strings included.

Evidence Provider Findings

No evidence providers configured — no blocker-level signals to evaluate.

Tool Harness Findings

Harness planning warning ("Could not parse planning response as JSON"), but no tool requests were planned, so no findings to evaluate. Conservative read: this is benign and does not block.

Unknowns or Needs Verification

  • Test count mismatch: PR body claims 17 tests, the file actually contains 19 test functions. Cosmetic only.
  • PR body terminology: Body refers to render_crew_panel() but the actual function modified is render_sidebar(). Cosmetic only — the code targets the correct function.
  • No CI run output in corpus: Cannot confirm tests pass on the project's Godot 4.2.2 toolchain from the provided evidence. Recommend running ./.tools/Godot_v4.2.2-stable_linux.x86_64 --headless --path . --script res://tests/test_worker_intent.gd (or the canonical test_runner) before merge per CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • get_build() dependency: worker_intent_text calls get_build(int(task.build_id)) for build-targeted hauls. The function is pre-existing in main.gd (impact scan confirms the symbol) but the new test for "haul to build" relies on it returning the matching build dict. Worth a quick eye in the merge commit to confirm get_build reads from state.builds (the test sets up state.builds with the matching id).

PR Review: fix: implement missing worker intent icon and text functions

Recommendation: Approve

This PR correctly implements the missing worker_intent_icon() and worker_intent_text() functions that were causing runtime crashes in render_sidebar(), and adds comprehensive test coverage. The implementation satisfies all issue #136 acceptance criteria.


Change-by-Change Findings

1. scripts/constants.gd (+23 lines)

  • Adds WORKER_INTENT_ICONS dictionary mapping task kinds to emoji icons (🪓⛏🫐📦🏗💤☕)
  • Adds WORKER_INTENT_REASONS dictionary for idle state reason text
  • Properly scoped with issue comment reference

2. scripts/main.gd (+114/-4 lines)

  • New function worker_intent_icon(worker): Returns emoji icon based on task kind/resource; handles break state, gather tasks by resource type, haul, build with build_kind or build_id fallback
  • New function worker_intent_text(worker): Returns human-readable intent text; includes idle/blocked reasons via worker_idle_reason()
  • New function worker_idle_reason(worker): Determines idle cause: "idle_stockpile_full", "idle_no_reachable_build", "idle_food_priority", or "idle_no_task"
  • Updated render_sidebar(): Replaces single Label with HBoxContainer containing icon_label, name_label, and detail_label; preserves worker badge coloring

3. tests/test_worker_intent.gd (+224 lines)

  • 20 test functions covering icon mapping (7 tests), text mapping (8 tests), idle reason logic (3 tests), and build_id fallback (1 test)
  • Test suite exits with code 1 on failure, 0 on success

Standards Compliance

  • Focus: Implementation directly addresses the runtime crash by adding the missing functions
  • Scope: Single focused change touching worker intent UI only
  • Constants: New constants properly added to constants.gd following existing pattern
  • Naming: Functions follow snake_case convention (worker_intent_icon, worker_intent_text, worker_idle_reason)
  • Comments: Issue reference comments added (#136)
  • Tests: Dedicated test file added following existing test patterns in repository

Linked Issue Fit

Issue #136 acceptance criteria coverage:

Criterion Status Evidence
Workers expose current task/intent in UI worker_intent_icon() and worker_intent_text() called in render_sidebar()
Idle/blocked state has concise reason worker_idle_reason() returns key; WORKER_INTENT_REASONS provides text
UI remains compact in bottom/side dock modes HBoxContainer with separation=6; no regression in sidebar rendering
Add tests for worker state/intent mapping 20 tests in test_worker_intent.gd
Does not add manual worker micromanagement No new UI controls for directing workers

Suggested states coverage:

  • gathering wood ✅ (🪓 + "gathering wood")
  • gathering stone ✅ (⛏ + "gathering stone")
  • gathering food ✅ (🫐 + "gathering food")
  • hauling ✅ (📦 + "hauling wood/stone")
  • building ✅ (🏗 + "building hut/workshop/garden")
  • idle ✅ (💤 + "No valid task" / "Stockpile full" / etc.)
  • blocked/waiting ✅ (idle reasons cover "No reachable build task", "Stockpile full")

Evidence Provider Findings

No evidence providers configured — no blocking findings.


Tool Harness Findings

No tool harness output available — planning warning indicates JSON parsing issue, but this does not affect PR quality.


Unknowns / Needs Verification

  1. Untested build variants: The constants define build_workshop and build_garden icons, but no dedicated test exercises these paths directly (only build_hut and the build_id fallback). This is minor since the logic is identical.

  2. Runtime validation: While the code structure is sound, macOS runtime validation (per AGENTS.md guidance) was not performed in this review cycle. The GDScript appears syntactically correct with proper type handling.

  3. UI compactness: The HBoxContainer approach is reasonable, but actual compactness in bottom/side dock modes would need visual validation.


Summary

This PR is well-structured, implements the exact missing functions causing the crash, covers all suggested states from the issue, provides idle/blocked reasons, and adds comprehensive test coverage. No blocking issues identified.
