Current milestone: Native Cinder Yard extraction candidate built · updated 2026-09-07

A bespoke native C64 tactical extraction vertical slice now builds reproducibly: 6x4 yard, cover, two animated guards, reaction fire, armor, adjacent combat, intel recovery and gated extraction. Five deterministic 6502 scenarios pass. The candidate remains behind the public graphical sales slice until EmulatorJS/VICE acceptance is recorded.
