Action feel

Choose the project column before tuning numbers. Studio labels are examples, not rules.

Column	Buffer	Cancel	Hitstop	Turn
short-special	short attack buffer	on-hit into named specials	authored per contact	snap on startup if published
long-cancel	longer command buffer	named on-hit/jump/ranged edges	authored rhythm/weight	optional inertia carry
commit-whitelist	anti-misinput buffer	named follow-ups only	authored weight	limited during commitment
coyote-platformer	jump buffer + coyote	only published attack/jump edges	tiny or none	published air control

Do not combine columns implicitly. Persist the selected values in project data.

Logical clock and phase order

Publish the logical tick rate; render FPS is never the combat clock. Engine adapters provide input, pose, contact-query and presentation hooks, but gameplay owns ordering.

A deterministic default phase is:
