HyperTwist Alpha Test Release 19 Evidence

Authority

Release 19 is the current Windows desktop Alpha authority for the combined player-experience repair. Release 17 remains a rollback artifact and historical proof source; it is not the current feature-complete delivery.

Current operator delivery:

  • Folder: C:\Users\Anthracite Ace\Downloads\HyperTwist-Alpha-Test-20260723-R19
  • ZIP: C:\Users\Anthracite Ace\Downloads\HyperTwist-Alpha-Test-20260723-R19.zip
  • Executable: C:\Users\Anthracite Ace\Downloads\HyperTwist-Alpha-Test-20260723-R19\Windows\UnrealHyperTwist.exe
  • ZIP entries: 167
  • ZIP size: 1,093,537,260 bytes
  • ZIP SHA-256: 630963f96c681fc49130cbc56c6c850008d4cddda7e83f2ee9c077c52d7709a9
  • Validated installer: C:\Users\Anthracite Ace\Downloads\HyperTwist-Alpha-Test-20260723-R19-Setup.exe
  • Installer size: 851049086 bytes
  • Installer SHA-256: c31ed6b0b2ae1feb449c27e484d72dc2e07ba220e3cdafa4c3605429d638e0ea

The delivered folder was compared against the validated archive source by hashing all 173 files. The comparison found 0 mismatches. The Downloads ZIP size and SHA-256 also match the validation-source ZIP.

The installer is separately grounded by docs/generated/alpha_test_20260726_installer/README.md. It installs the same Release 19 runtime payload, bundles the signed Microsoft Visual C++ runtime, and has green install, launch, in-place upgrade, and uninstall lifecycle proof.

Product Scope

This package contains the repaired first-run and player-facing shell, reliable back/pause/exit navigation, Learning Studio, Settings, Account, Advanced, and About/Credits surfaces. The native puzzle catalog exposes:

  • Classic Cube
  • Follow-Along training
  • 4D 2x2x2x2
  • 4D 3x3x3x3
  • 4D 4x4x4x4
  • 4D 5x5x5x5
  • 4D 6x6x6x6
  • Magic 120-cell
  • order-3 5D Cube

The common native puzzle controller also owns a fixed, session-only in-game coach. It provides built-in offline help and optional provider-backed AI, global STT dictation, and asynchronous TTS narration. The control center keeps AI, STT, and TTS separately configurable, protects credentials for the current Windows user, requires consent before cloud use, and does not make any provider or API key a prerequisite for play.

The final speech repair specifically proves that a standalone global speech session can open outside a Classic training run. This closes the prior defect where the visible global assistant could reject dictation on 4D, 5D, or 120-cell routes.

Build And Automation

  • UE 5.7 incremental editor build after the global-speech repair: Result: Succeeded, 7 actions, 60.93 seconds.
  • HyperTwist.PlayerExperience: 5 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 warnings.
  • Added proof: HyperTwist.PlayerExperience.GlobalAssistantSpeechSession.
  • Shipping build, cook, archive, package smoke, and ZIP export: passed.
  • Browser shell verification: passed.
  • Browser production build: 1,872 modules transformed.
  • Exact solver table: 676,207,080 bytes, SHA-256 dc6de3d909a37afe2ba7f1f978543a13eae215bd20d954d66813524a8ca20034.
  • Windows installer build: passed, 143 payload files, 1,585,341,236 payload bytes, and 0 NSIS compiler warnings.
  • Installer lifecycle: first install, complete hash parity, readiness, Shipping launch, in-place upgrade, second parity, uninstall, user-data preservation, and owned-state cleanup all passed.

The automation authority is player_experience_automation_index.json. Package, staged-browser, solver-table, bootstrap, headless-launch, and ZIP authority is carried by the four root-level package reports in this directory.

Route Smoke Matrix

All 9 cooked native routes passed semantic Shipping smoke validation:

Route Expected runtime proof
Classic exact map and valid Classic presentation
Follow-Along registered route and exact map
4D order 2 16 exact state pieces; 64 visible piece views
4D order 3 81 exact state pieces; 27 visible piece views
4D order 4 256 exact state pieces; 64 visible piece views
4D order 5 625 exact state pieces; 125 visible piece views
4D order 6 1,296 exact state pieces; 216 visible piece views
Magic 120-cell exact route and representative 120-center scene
order-3 5D Cube exact route and 242-element scene

Every smoke report recorded result: passed, process-tree cleanup, no fatal signature, no package-owned listening endpoint, and no trace-control listener. The per-route reports live under smoke/.

The visual scene claims remain deliberately narrower than the simulation-state claims. Magic 120-cell owns an exact 7,560-facelet permutation and 7,440 legal base moves, but the current scene visualizes representative cell centers. The 5D runtime owns 243 cubies and 810 facelets while the scene renders its bounded projected element set.

Visible Desktop Authority

Two independent interactive desktop gates passed:

  1. The package archive executable rendered a semantic-ready first-run frame.
  2. The exact executable copied into Downloads rendered the same semantic-ready first-run frame.

Both reports recorded:

  • result: visual-passed
  • captureMethod: hyper-twist-semantic-ready-frame
  • startupDiagnosticsResult: result=launch-menu-renderable
  • windowClassName: UnrealWindow
  • client size 1280x720
  • screenshot SHA-256 caa45f3d3104a8e5406f493a60c8a136d852bd35e0bd1c8dfbf79738c1343892
  • no package-owned or trace-control listening endpoint

The archive proof is under archive_visual/; the delivered-executable proof is under downloads_visual/. The separate headless launch report records result=startup-recovered. Headless recovery is useful runtime evidence, but it is not substituted for the interactive launch-menu-renderable proof.

Remaining External Gates

Release 19 proves code, package, archive, route, and visible first-run authority. It does not fabricate evidence that requires unavailable external conditions:

  • A real provider-reachability, microphone-transcription, and audible TTS smoke still requires an explicitly configured local or cloud service and real audio hardware.
  • Live XR headset-session and controller-input observation still requires a connected headset and controllers.
  • Installer/uninstaller ownership and isolated-current-host prerequisite proof are now closed. Trusted code signing, genuinely fresh-machine proof, entitlement-backed public delivery, and update-channel rollout remain release-engineering gates above this Alpha package.
