WDL Spawn Chooser Validation Checklist

Prompt file imported from akspa0/parp-tools (.codex/prompts/wdl-spawn-chooser-validation-checklist.md). Copyright stays with the author.

Use this prompt after a candidate chooser fix to validate behavior end-to-end.

Read First

1. gillijimproject_refactor/memory-bank/data-paths.md
2. gillijimproject_refactor/memory-bank/activeContext.md
3. gillijimproject_refactor/src/MdxViewer/memory-bank/activeContext.md

Validation Matrix

Run at minimum:

1. one Alpha-era map with WDL available
2. one 3.x map with WDL available

For each map, verify:

1. map row shows correct spawn readiness state
2. Spawn can be clicked when preview is ready
3. preview dialog opens without silent fallback
4. clicking preview selects a spawn tile marker
5. Load Map from dialog applies the selected spawn
6. true preview failure still falls back to default spawn load

Required Evidence

Collect and report:

1. map/version tested
2. observed warm state transitions
3. whether selection marker appears and updates
4. resulting spawn coordinates/camera position behavior
5. any failure logs/messages

Deliverables

Return all items:

1. pass/fail per matrix item
2. blockers and probable file/function owner
3. whether issue is fully fixed, partially fixed, or still broken
4. explicit statement of tests run (build/tests/runtime)

Non-Negotiable Rule

Do not mark the chooser fixed from compile success or static inspection alone.
