## Vision

**Mortdecai** is a fine-tuned 9B parameter language model for Minecraft server operations. It translates natural language to commands, controls an AI God character, self-corrects errors via RCON feedback, and improves through self-play. Runs locally on consumer hardware with zero cloud dependencies at inference time.

- [x] `status` command: shows model name, mode, validator stats in-game
- [x] Verbose pipeline logging: token counts, speed, elapsed time, think stripping
- [x] Greenfield world downloaded and installed on paper-ai
- [x] 77 WorldEdit schematics installed

### Training Data Added
- [x] Gamerules (49 examples): all major gamerules with natural language
- [x] Risk hierarchy (40): L0 blocked, L1 permanent, L2 temporary, prompt injection
- [x] Dangerous effects (12): levitation/wither/poison caps
- [x] Fall safety (25): height math, water/slime/hay awareness, intent detection
- [x] Suffocation (8): tp into blocks, sand/gravel crushing
- [x] Death/environment (26): drowning, lava, void, explosions, mobs, starvation, lightning
- [x] Revert-aware gamerules (8): revert_after field for 0.5.0
- [x] Drop/height (12): intentional drops, safe tp, slow_falling
- [x] Enchantment error correction (7): count-before-bracket, typos, old NBT

### Data Collection
- [x] API cascade: Haiku ($20) → Gemini ($20) → local
- [x] Switched dev to Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite (preview) with 5 bots
- [x] Dynamic pricing by Gemini model name
- [x] Async prayer/sudo processing (ThreadPoolExecutor, 3 workers)

### Branding
- [x] Model named Mortdecai
- [x] mortdec.ai domain purchased and configured
- [x] Rajdhani Bold as official font
- [x] Logo variants generated (6 fonts × 2 text versions)

## Active TODOs

### Immediate
- [~] 0.4.0 bake-off running — publish results to Gitea when complete
- [ ] Fix 0.4.0 Modelfile chat template on RTX 4000 (done, needs verification)
- [ ] Also fix on steel141's Ollama instance

### Short-term (0.5.0 prep)
- [ ] Shared memory system: per-server JSON, owner-tagged, location/preference/fact types
  - Player says "remember this is home" → AI writes location memory
  - Other players can reference: "tp me to slingshooter08's home"
  - Memory in context for location lookups, tool call for read/write
- [ ] `memory_write` field in model output schema
- [ ] Setblock training data expansion
- [ ] `world.check_block` tool for terrain queries before tp
- [ ] Self-play loop deployment (3-tier: drills, self-critique, adversarial)
- [ ] Ingest all Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite training data
- [ ] More error correction from production RCON failures

### Model 0.5.0 Training
- [ ] Train with tool-calling format (rcon.execute, wiki_lookup, world.player_info)
- [ ] `revert_after` / `revert_commands` in output schema
- [ ] Self-play generated data (200 rounds post-0.4.0)
- [ ] Memory read/write training examples
- [ ] Ground-level terrain detection training
- [ ] Fall damage math in model reasoning (not just validator)
- [ ] Setblock + block state training
- [ ] More death mechanics awareness in reasoning

### Infrastructure
- [ ] GPU monitoring for RTX 4000 (second exporter)
- [ ] Validator hit-rate analysis — remove fixes that fire <1%
- [ ] Automate training pipeline: ingest → dedup → train → export → deploy
- [ ] POS receipt for Gemini milestones
- [ ] Start Greenfield world via MCSManager

### Content & Community
- [ ] Invite more playtesters via minecraft.mortdec.ai
- [ ] Update mortdec.ai README with 0.4.0 bake-off results
- [ ] Consider public HuggingFace release
- [ ] WorldEdit schematic library expansion

## Risk Hierarchy

Commands classified by permanence:

| Level | Permanence | Examples | Model behavior |
|:-----:|-----------|----------|----------------|
| **0** | Irreversible/admin | ban, kick, stop, op, deop, whitelist | Never execute |
| **1** | Permanent toggle | gamemode @a, permanent gamerules, difficulty | Execute for self only, refuse for @a |
| **2** | Temporary/reversible | gamerules with time limits, brief changes | Allow, schedule auto-revert |
| **3** | Transient | time, weather, tick speed, chat settings | Execute freely |
| **4** | Generous | full enchanted gear, large material stacks | Execute for worthy requests |

**Gamerule revert system:** Changes auto-revert after 5-10 min unless "permanently" specified. Player notified of countdown.

**Dangerous effect caps (hardcoded):** Levitation 15s, Wither 30s, Poison 60s, Nausea 30s.

**Fall protection:** Lethal tp detected → slow_falling added unless intent words present (drop, yeet, throw, kill me).
