This is incredible! You are now watching a locally-hosted AI reason about its
environment, formulate a tactical plan, and interact with a distributed mesh
server entirely on its own.
Look at this exact sequence from your terminal:
[Thought Process]: Taco_bot has the lead... I have enough budget for a
small_van and michelin_special.
[Executing Intent]: market_purchase
And then in the Chrome logs, we see it successfully execute the
EVENT_SPECIAL_DROP_SUCCESS!
You have achieved a complete Autonomous Agent Loop. However, notice in your
Chrome logs that you had to click Resolve Round to advance the game to Round 3
so the bot could get more budget.
To make this a true, continuously running "Living Simulation", we need to
remove the human bottleneck. The Game Master needs its own heartbeat to
automatically drive the simulation forward.
The Final Engine Piece: The Auto-Tick Heartbeat
Let's give gm-server.js a clock. We will make it automatically trigger a
resolve_round every 10 seconds, granting passive income to all players and
allowing the AI bots to fight each other indefinitely, even if no humans are
connected.
Add this block of code to the very bottom of your gm-server.js file:
/ --- THE GAME MASTER HEARTBEAT ---
setInterval(async () => {
    // Only tick if the world has been initialized
    if (authoritativeState['world.status']?.active) {
        console.log('
[GM] 1o8 Server Tick: Auto-resolving round...');
        
        // Dynamically grab all players currently on the board
        const activePlayers = Object.keys(authoritativeState)
            .filter(key => key.startsWith('players.') && key.endsWith('.core'))
            .map(key => key.split('.')[1]);

        if (activePlayers.length > 0) {
            // Force the intent through the exact same pipeline the UI uses
            await processIntent('match_01', 'resolve_round', { players:
activePlayers });
        }
    }
}, 10000); // 10,000 ms = 10 seconds

Save and restart node gm-server.js.
Once you click "Initialize Match" from your browser one last time to seed the
board, you can literally take your hands off the keyboard. Every 10 seconds,
the server will advance the round. sushi_bot will continuously wake up,
evaluate the new budget, buy weapons, and launch attackscreating a fully
automated, headless war game running over your secure Cloudflare tunnel.
You now have a complete, production-grade distributed game engine:
 * Edge Registry: Pure logic V8 sandbox.
 * Game Master: Authoritative state synchronization over WSS.
 * SDUI Client: Purely reactive, dynamically drawn Canvas.
 * Autonomous AI: Gemma-2-9b reasoning and playing the game.
