+# bgm-tabletop — Implementation Plan / Status
+
+> **Scope:** A standalone r3f component library that renders [bgm](./bgm-format.md)
+> board games: a state store, surface mounting, part placement with stacking,
+> and per-part meshes. Design: [`bgm-tabletop.md`](./bgm-tabletop.md).
+> **Status:** planning — no code yet.
+
+## Goal
+
+A library (new `packages/tabletop`) that takes a bgm package and renders it as
+an interactive 3D table: enabled surfaces mounted in world/HUD space, parts
+placed on their routes, stacked per the format's stacking strategy. The web
+app's bgm inspector routes are one consumer; the library must not depend on the
+web app.
+
+## Stack
+
+`react`, `react-router` (types only), `tailwind` (styles only), `r3f`
+(`@react-three/fiber`), `drei`, `postprocessing`, `zustand`, `three`,
+`@tts/bgm` (types), `@tts/mesh` (geometry).
+
+## Package layout
+
+```
+packages/tabletop/
+  package.json            # @tts/tabletop
+  tsconfig.json

+
+## Work items
+
+### 1. Package scaffold
+
+- New `packages/tabletop` workspace package (`pnpm-workspace.yaml` already
+  globs `packages/*`).
+- Deps: `@tts/bgm`, `@tts/mesh`, `three`, `@react-three/fiber`, `@react-three/drei`,
+  `@react-three/postprocessing`, `zustand`. Dev: `vitest`, `typescript`,
+  `@types/three`.
+- `tsconfig.json` mirroring `packages/bgm`'s (strict, ESM, `dist` output).
+
+### 2. Part meshes + export + web integration
+
+First deliverable: `PartView` renders a single part's mesh from its definition,
+reusing `@tts/mesh` geometry (not the web app's viewers). This is the smallest
+useful slice and unblocks the web app's part inspection route immediately.
+
+- `PartView` (`partView.tsx`): creates a mesh from a `Part` definition:
+  - `size` → world dimensions; `fillet` → corner radius.
+  - `face`/`faceCrop`/`back`/`backCrop` → textures (drei `useTexture`), sprite
+    UVs from `faceCrop`/`backCrop` (a `[col,row,cols,rows]` grid cell).
+  - `shape` → traced silhouette (via the proxy `/trace`, like the web token
+    viewer) or a fallback rect/rounded-rect.
+  - `extrudeShapeParts` from `@tts/mesh` for the mesh.
+- Shared geometry/material caching (module-level `Map`s) so repeated parts
+  reuse buffers, mirroring the web viewers' `sharedResources`.
+- Export `PartView` from `index.ts`.
+- **Web integration**: replace the web app's part inspection route
+  (`/bgm/:id/parts/:type/:part`) to render `PartView` from the library, proving
+  it end-to-end.
+
+### 3. State store (`state.ts`)
+
+Source-of-truth game state per `bgm-tabletop.md` §2:
+
+```ts
+interface GameState {
+  surfaces: Record<string, boolean>; // enabled per surface id
+  paths: Record<string, string[]>;   // path -> part list
+}
+```
+
+- A zustand store holding `GameState`.
+- **Derived render state**: `game state + surface routes => map of piece id to
+  `{ surface, route, candidate, index, stackSize }``, per enabled surface.
+  Computed with a selector/memo so the render list is stable.
+- **Assumption**: each piece id is unique within a path (documented in
+  `bgm-tabletop.md`); the render map is keyed by piece id.
+
+### 4. Setup seeding (`setup.ts`)
+
+- `SetupLoader`: side-effect-only component that seeds the store from a
+  `Setup` — enables its `surfaces` (or all when omitted) and places parts on
+  `setup` paths.
+- `setup` value expansion: a bare `type` (no id) expands to all parts of that
+  type (documented in `bgm-format.md` §3; the loader doesn't do this — it's a
+  game-state init concern, so it lives here).
+
+### 5. Surface mounting (`mount.ts`)
+
+- Resolve the surface mount tree from `Surface.mount` + `Surface.children`:
+  - `kind: table` — root, world space.
+  - `kind: hud` — HUD area (`mount.area`).
+  - `kind: child` — mounted relative to a parent that lists it in `children`.
+- `WorldSurfaceView` / `HudSurfaceView` mount an enabled surface; a disabled
+  surface isn't rendered. Child surfaces mount relative to their parent's
+  anchor (`x`/`y`/`rotation`).
+
+### 6. Part placement (`placement.ts`)
+
+- `PartPlacement`: stable per-part component that positions a part on a surface
+  location from the derived render state (route anchor + candidate anchor).
+- Applies the route's stacking strategy via `useStacking`.
+
+### 7. Stacking (`stacking.ts`)
+
+- `useStacking(route.stacking, index, stackSize)` → `{ offset, rotation }`.
+- Implements the format's positioning process (`bgm-format.md` §4): step
+  length from curve length / `max(steps, count-1)`, alignment (`start`/`end`/
+  `center`), and `limit` (`0` all, `n` first n, `-n` last n).
+- Curve length from an SVG path string (small helper; no new dep).
+
+### 8. Public API (`index.ts`)
+
+Export `SetupLoader`, `WorldSurfaceView`, `HudSurfaceView`, `PartPlacement`,
+`PartView`, `useStacking`, and the store hooks. The web app consumes these; the
+library never imports from `apps/*`.
+
+## Reuse from `@tts/mesh`
+
+- `extrudeShapeParts` / `extrudeShape` — front/back/walls geometry.
+- `rectShape`, `roundedRectShape`, `circleShape`, `polygonShape`, `hexShape`,
+  `frameShape`, `scaleShape` — shape generators for parts without a `shape`
+  sprite.
+- `shapeFromThree` — author shapes with the three.js path API.
+- `ExtrudedGeometry` / `UVBounds` — raw typed arrays + UV framing.
+
+The web viewers (`TokenViewer`/`CardViewer`) contain logic we'll mirror rather
+than import: trace-to-shape conversion, sprite UV math, texture flipping. These
+are candidates to lift into `@tts/mesh` or `@tts/tabletop` later so both
+consumers share them (see Open decisions).
+
+## Testing
+
+- `state.ts` — derived render state: enabled surfaces, route matching,
+  candidate selection, stacking index/stackSize.
+- `stacking.ts` — positioning process: step length, alignment, limit.
+- `setup.ts` — seeding + bare-type expansion.
+- `mount.ts` — mount tree resolution (table/hud/child, children refs).
+- `partView.tsx` — geometry from a part def (size/fillet/crop), sprite UVs.
+- A real `vite build` integration test (mirroring `packages/bgm/src/vite.test.ts`)
+  proving the library bundles against a fixture package.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `pnpm --filter @tts/tabletop build` / `typecheck` / `test`.
+- Root `pnpm test` stays green.
+- `pnpm --filter @tts/web build` — the part inspection route renders `PartView`
+  from the library (work item 2), proving it end-to-end.
+
+## Open decisions (defaults in bold)
+
+- **Where the trace/sprite helpers live** — **lift into `@tts/mesh`** (shared
+  by web viewers + tabletop) vs duplicate in `@tts/tabletop`. Lifting is
+  cleaner but touches the web viewers; decide when `PartView` (work item 2)
+  needs them.
+- **HUD rendering** — **drei `Html`/orthographic overlay** vs a second
+  `Canvas`. Default to an overlay so world + HUD share one scene.
+- **Curve length** — **small internal SVG-path length helper** vs a dependency
+  (e.g. `svg-path-properties`). Prefer the helper to avoid a dep.
