A live in-page configurator

Built a new platform configurator that pops out directly on the live Climber-mode page: select and group platforms, save them as a block pattern, tag which zone/episode they belong to. Not necessarily destined to become the shipped editor, but a genuinely useful way to preview and fine-tune what an episode should look like, including per-platform-type percentage tuning.

The first outside tester

Recruited the first genuine closed tester from a Play Console testing-exchange thread: the classic “test mine, I’ll test yours” arrangement. A second joined not long after.

A local debug panel

Built (and proved out on the PB Tracker app first) an owner-only debug panel: sign in with the right email in Chrome, and a locally-hosted HTML file gives access to logged bugs pulled straight from the database. Planned to roll the same system out to Floor Is Lava’s closed testers.
