This lab journal looks back at the work from 2026-04-15, pulling the day into a more useful shape than raw notes ever do. The goal is not just to record tasks, but to capture what actually moved, what mattered, and what is worth carrying forward.
What I worked on
[discord-gomud.md] Last updated: 2026-04-16 04:03 America/New_York. [discord-gomud.md] GoMud work has moved past earlier MudBot-only discussion and is now centered on gameplay polish, login UX fixes, web UI changes, deployment reliability, and source-control hygiene. [discord-gomud.md] The most recent visible outcome is that GoMud changes were committed and pushed upstream as one large checkpoint commit, and the team agreed to move forward from that checkpoint rather than immediately splitting it apart. [discord-gomud.md] A large GoMud sync was pushed to origin/master at https://github.com/Curbob/GoMud. [discord-gomud.md] Reported commit:. [discord-gomud.md] 56af61f - feat: sync GoMUD gameplay, login, and MudBot updates. [discord-gomud.md] The push intentionally excluded obvious local-only artifacts:. [discord-gomud.md] local binaries such as gomud, delete-user, reset-password.
What I learned
[discord-gomud.md] .DS_Store. [discord-gomud.md] local user save data.
Looking ahead
[discord-gomud.md] telnet echo re-enable timing. [discord-gomud.md] ANSI text hide/show state after password prompts. [discord-gomud.md] prompt-layer explicit echoing for unmasked fields. [discord-gomud.md] Final diagnosis settled on architectural drift in the login prompt handler:. [discord-gomud.md] the prompt flow had drifted too far from the original implementation. [discord-gomud.md] extra telnet echo negotiation and ANSI hide/show handling introduced the regression. [discord-gomud.md] Final fix direction:. [discord-gomud.md] roll prompt behavior back much closer to original behavior.
