Bytefray 4.0.0 — Spatial Multi-Process Platform & Spectator Intelligence

Bytefray 4.0 is the official stable release of the next-generation programmable arena, establishing the permanent bytefray-rules-4 ruleset, multi-process Agent API v2, and the full spectator intelligence suite.

Built from qualified candidate commit 9077b61 on main, incorporating post-UX refinements and comprehensive dual-platform Windows and Linux qualification.

Highlights in Bytefray 4.0

  • Spatial Multi-Process Combat (bytefray-rules-4): Fixed entrant quota (Q=8), multi-process execution with movable anchors and localized circular action reach, seed-derived deterministic core placement, and strict process-level fairness.
  • Agent API v2: Support for multi-process process declarations (declare_processes()), rich typed observations (ObservationV2), and discrete action dispatch (ActionKindV2: MOVE, READ, WRITE).
  • Complete Spectator Presentation:
    • Broadcast Cam: Omniscient bird's-eye arena view with real-time process markers and telemetry.
    • Perspective Cam: First-person view respecting entrant sensor bounds, anonymous contact memory, and stale scan tracking.
    • Spectator Director: Autonomous camera pacing and dynamic focus switching driven by real-time spatial events.
    • Fight Night Event Ribbon: Contextual live combat event stream (clashes, disruptions, claims, eliminations).
  • Ruleset-First Agent Designer: Streamlined match configuration tabs (Simple & Advanced) with contextual ruleset parameters, dynamic 2–3 agent rosters, and default scoring aligned strictly with the simulation engine.
  • Improved Replay Workflow: Automatic spectator trace recording from both Simple and Advanced Designer launches, integrated Replay Picker with empty-state guidance, and multi-entrant playback.
  • Python 3.10–3.14 & pygame-ce Compatibility: Full support for modern Python runtimes with native headless and graphical execution.
  • Multi-Platform Distribution: Standalone administrative Windows installer, portable Windows ZIP, official Python wheel, and source distribution.
