Erik 2c1c784c8c docs: refresh strategic roadmap + Foundation phase design spec 
Output of a brainstorming session after Phase 6/7.1/9.1/9.2 shipped
and the lifestone crystal bug was isolated. Two documents:

1. docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md — strategic roadmap replacing
   the stale post-Phase-5 version. Reflects what's actually shipped,
   reorganizes upcoming work into Phases A (Foundation), B (Gameplay),
   C (Polish — includes VFX/particles, dynamic lights, palette tuning,
   double-sided translucents), D (UI + Sound), and E (long-tail).
   Updates the "when will my complaint be fixed" quick-lookup with
   the correct phase for portals (VFX, not shader tricks as previously
   claimed), smoke, fireplace fire, and everything we fixed this
   session. Phase ordering: A → B → (C/D in parallel) → E.

2. docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-foundation-phase-design.md —
   detailed implementation spec for Phase A only. Covers the four
   sub-pieces (streaming landblock loader, frustum culling, net I/O
   thread, async dat decoding folded into the streaming worker),
   their components, data flow, error handling, testing strategy,
   and commit-point ordering. Includes non-goals to prevent scope
   creep.

No code changes yet. The spec goes to user review next, then into
the writing-plans skill for a detailed implementation plan.

acdream

Experimental modern open-source Asheron's Call client in C# / .NET 10.

Status: pre-alpha, not playable. Phase 0 only — dat file asset inventory.

Stack: .NET 10, Chorizite.DatReaderWriter for dat parsing. Silk.NET + Avalonia planned for rendering/UI (not yet wired up).

Requires: A retail Asheron's Call install (Turbine/Microsoft property — supply your own). Set ACDREAM_DAT_DIR environment variable to the directory containing client_portal.dat, client_cell_1.dat, client_highres.dat, and client_local_English.dat, or pass it as the first CLI argument.

Layout

  • src/AcDream.Cli/ — console app that dumps asset counts from a dat directory
  • references/ — local read-only reference material (ACE, ACViewer, WorldBuilder, DatReaderWriter, holtburger, retail AC install). Gitignored.

Run

dotnet run --project src/AcDream.Cli -- "C:\path\to\Asheron's Call"

Or set ACDREAM_DAT_DIR and run without args.
