1. System Topology & Architectural Blueprint

The GDevelop-Unlocked runtime decouples upstream GDevelop 5 from all hosted proprietary cloud services (api.gdevelop.io) while equipping the local client with high-throughput autonomous game creation capabilities.

1.2 Boundary Classification & Isolation Rules

1. Renderer Isolation Boundary:
   • packages/unlock-shim is zero-runtime-imported by the renderer; it acts as the canonical filesystem/AST manipulation engine for headless CLI, MCP server, and tests.
   • Renderer executes tool operations purely through GDevelop's internal C++ Emscripten API (global.gd) via EditorFunctions when running inside the Electron UI.
2. Fail-Closed Zero-Egress Boundary:
   • All local request IDs are partitioned with the canonical prefix local-ai-*.
   • generation-shim.mjs enforces guardHostedCall(): any attempt to route a local-ai-* request to api.gdevelop.io immediately throws an unhandled rejection, preventing token or project telemetry leakage.
3. Local Loopback Boundary:
   • Provider gateway and MCP server communicate strictly over local loopback (127.0.0.1) or Stdio pipes (process.stdin / process.stdout).
   • Network preview and debug bridges bind exclusively to localhost.

2. Step-by-Step Refactoring Runbook

2.1 Upstream AST Modifications & Patch Rebase Sequence

The patch pipeline maintains a strict separation between machine-generated Tier-1 usage patches and curated Tier-2 forward-ports:

Patch File	Upstream Target File	AST Node Type / Anchor	Forward-Port Strategy
01-usage-predicate.patch	newIDE/app/src/Utils/GDevelopServices/Usage.js	variable_declarator (hasValidSubscriptionPlan)	Verbatim generator: return true;
02-auth-context-seed.patch	newIDE/app/src/Profile/AuthenticatedUserContext.js	variable_declarator (initialAuthenticatedUser)	Verbatim generator: 999,999 credits
03-subscription-checker.patch	newIDE/app/src/Profile/Subscription/SubscriptionChecker.js	variable_declarator (checkUserHasSubscription)	Verbatim generator: bypass dialog
04-loading-screen.patch	newIDE/app/src/ProjectManager/LoadingScreenEditor.js	jsx_attribute (onCheck)	Verbatim generator: remove watermark locks
05-preview-debugger.patch	LocalPreviewLauncher/index.js & DebuggerEditorContainer.js	binary_expression (hotReloadsCount % 16 === 0)	Verbatim generator: strip % 16 modulo paywall
06-electron-hook.patch	newIDE/electron-app/app/main.js	Line 1 require anchor before destructuring	Verbatim generator: install heretek-hook.cjs
07-generation-glue.patch	newIDE/app/src/Utils/GDevelopServices/Generation.js	22 exported functions in Generation.js	Curated forward-port: intercept local-ai-* calls
08-preferences-ai.patch	newIDE/app/src/MainFrame/Preferences/PreferencesContext.js	initialPreferences object literal	Curated forward-port: add customAi preferences
09-ai-request-affordance.patch	newIDE/app/src/AiGeneration/AiRequestChat/Affordance.js	Affordance cost calculator	Verbatim generator: always affordable
10-ai-chat-affordance.patch	newIDE/app/src/AiGeneration/AiRequestChat/Utils.js	canPayForAiRequest	Verbatim generator: return true
11-studio-runtime-mount.patch	newIDE/app/src/AiGeneration/AskAiEditorContainer.js	createAiRequest call & Chat UI container	Curated forward-port: mount local AI Studio
12-ai-manifest.patch	packages/ai-studio/MANIFEST.json	Hash and byte manifest pins	Machine generated
13-ai-client.patch	newIDE/app/src/AI/CustomAIClient.js	BYOK client overlay anchor	Curated forward-port: sync CustomAIClient
14-ai-utils.patch	newIDE/app/src/AiGeneration/Utils.js	useProcessFunctionCalls & parameter normalizers	Curated forward-port: offline search & aliases

Rebase Commands for Upstream Sync

To safely advance the pinned baseline from 8301cdcaa48b496f48a28a6e3a56fa833eaeddff to 07ef49d038f6cab0d7d9314fc7de5c7254d57625 or future master:

# 1. Create a scratch working directory (NEVER mutate review/GDevelop directly)
SCRATCH_DIR=$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/gd-rebase-XXXXXX")
git -C review/GDevelop archive HEAD newIDE/app/src newIDE/electron-app | tar -x -C "$SCRATCH_DIR"

# 2. Dry-run apply Tier-1 patches (01 through 06, 09, 10)
for p in patches/01-*.patch patches/02-*.patch patches/03-*.patch patches/04-*.patch patches/05-*.patch patches/06-*.patch patches/09-*.patch patches/10-*.patch; do
  echo "Dry-running $p..."
  patch -d "$SCRATCH_DIR" -p1 --dry-run < "$p" || { echo "Tier-1 drift in $p"; exit 1; }
done

# 3. Dry-run curated Tier-2 forward-ports with 3-way merge tolerance
for p in patches/07-*.patch patches/08-*.patch patches/11-*.patch patches/13-*.patch patches/14-*.patch; do
  echo "Dry-running $p..."
  patch -d "$SCRATCH_DIR" -p1 --forward --batch --dry-run < "$p" || { echo "Tier-2 conflict in $p - manual forward-port needed"; exit 1; }
done

# 4. Clean up scratch copy
rm -rf "$SCRATCH_DIR"

2.2 Complete Deprecation & Safe Removal of Mock Fixtures

All legacy synthetic files in packages/ai-studio/dev-harness/ are deprecated in favor of packages/opencode-provider live streaming adapters:

# Deprecate synthetic mock files
rm -f packages/ai-studio/dev-harness/mock-ai-provider.js
rm -f packages/ai-studio/dev-harness/mock-script.example.json
rm -f packages/ai-studio/dev-harness/mock-script-multi.json
rm -f packages/ai-studio/dev-harness/mock-script-specialists.json
rm -f packages/ai-studio/dev-harness/mock-child-scripts.example.json

# Update manifest and verify zero dangling references
node scripts/generate-manifest.mjs
npm test

3. Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Specification

The native MCP server is implemented in packages/opencode-provider/mcp-server.mjs conforming to MCP Protocol Version 2024-11-05 over Stdio JSON-RPC 2.0.

3.3 Dynamic Resources & Resolvers

• gdevelop://project/current: In-memory AST representation of the currently opened game project.
• gdevelop://scene/{scene_name}: Parameterized layout AST lookup containing layers, instances, and scene properties.
• gdevelop://events/{scene_name}: Parameterized event sheet AST query.
• gdevelop://extensions: Summary catalog of installed extensions and custom functions.
• gdevelop://debugger/state: Cached telemetry and execution metrics from the RFC6455 WebSocket loopback debugger.

3.4 Security Engine & Permission Gates (opencode.jsonc)

flowchart LR
    Call[Tool Invocation] --> Gate1{1. Action Classification}
    Gate1 -- Read-Only --> Gate2{2. Path Containment}
    Gate1 -- Mutating --> Conf{Confirmed Flag?}
    Conf -- No (ask policy) --> Err1[Reject: Confirmation Required]
    Conf -- Yes --> Gate2
    Gate2 -- Escapes Root --> Err2[Reject: Path Containment]
    Gate2 -- Contained --> Gate3{3. Zero-Egress Guard}
    Gate3 -- External URL Detected --> Err3[Reject: Zero-Egress Violation]
    Gate3 -- Pure Local --> Exec[Execute Real AST Mutation]

1. Permission Policy: Mutating tools require explicit confirmed: true under ask policy.
2. Path Containment: Verifies paths are inside allowedProjectRoots using path.resolve() with strict rejection of null bytes (\0).
3. Zero-Egress Guard: Scans payload parameters to block any references to api.gdevelop.io or non-loopback URLs.

4. Skills Repository Manifest

The progressive disclosure skills architecture allows autonomous agents to index and execute complex GDevelop workflows without context pollution:

4.1 Global Installation & Priority Order

Skills are discovered and hydrated with the following resolution precedence:

1. Repository Root (.opencode/skills/<skill-name>/): Project-specific overrides (Highest priority).
2. User Home Directory (~/.config/opencode/skills/<skill-name>/): Global cross-project capabilities.
3. Fallback Agent Paths (.claude/skills/, .agents/skills/): Universal assistant compatibility.
