Operator backlog idea from the 2026-06-19 jam demo.

Right now a falling piece snaps cell-to-cell. Animate the descent so it glides smoothly between grid rows — interpolate the piece's y between ticks for a more polished feel.

Render-side (Shipwright lane); purely visual interpolation between server snapshots / mock ticks. The server stays authoritative on the lock position — animation never changes where a piece lands.
Nice-to-have, not gameplay-affecting. Gate on the same 60fps readability bar as the CRT flavor.

Post-demo polish backlog; not urgent.
