step_fast() never recorded trace entries, so crash dumps always showed
an empty trace. Now records PC + opcode info in the same deque as
step(). Also includes exception type in player-facing error messages
when the exception string is empty.
- op_save_v5: generates Quetzal save, stores 1 on success / 0 on failure
- op_restore_v5: loads Quetzal save, stores 2 ("restored") via store byte
- _try_restore: detect V5+ in-game saves (0xBE 0x00 before PC) and process
the store byte with result 2, matching the V3 branch-on-restore pattern
- _find_story() now compares path.stem.lower() so "lostpig" matches "LostPig.z8"
- Server no longer writes its own prompt in IF mode (game handles prompting)
- Suppress phantom game output on restore (saved PC past sread causes garbage)
- Route .z5/.z8 files to EmbeddedIFSession now that V5+ is supported
The Quetzal spec stores the PC pointing at the save instruction's
branch data. On restore, this branch must be processed as "save
succeeded" to advance the PC to the actual next instruction. Without
this, the branch bytes were decoded as an opcode, corrupting execution.
Detect the save opcode (0xB5) immediately before the restored PC to
distinguish in-game saves from out-of-band saves (which don't need
branch processing). Also improve error diagnostics: pop_stack now
raises ZStackPopError with frame context, and the instruction trace
dumps on all exceptions.
Replaces the async _do_restore() (called after thread launch) with a
synchronous _try_restore() called before the thread starts. This
eliminates the race condition where restore mutates z-machine state
while the interpreter thread is running.
The restore prefix message is now part of start()'s return value
instead of being sent separately in play.py.
EmbeddedIFSession runs the hybrid interpreter in a daemon thread,
bridged to the async MUD loop via threading.Event synchronization.
.z3 files use the embedded path; other formats fall back to dfrotz.
- MUD ZUI components: MudScreen (buffered output), MudInputStream
(thread-safe input), MudFilesystem (quetzal saves), NullAudio
- save/restore via QuetzalWriter/QuetzalParser and :: escape commands
- state inspection: get_location_name(), get_room_objects()
- error reporting for interpreter crashes
- fix quetzal parser bit slice bug: _parse_stks used [0:3] (3 bits,
max 7 locals) instead of [0:4] (4 bits, max 15) — Zork uses 15
