+Two independent hard-stop conditions. Leading with the structural one
+because it doesn't depend on any AI-behaviour debate.
+
+### Primary blocker — render path
+
+Phase 13 requires "Capture screenshots every 5 turns". The current
+headless harness (`claude_player_main.gd`) is JSON-Lines only — no
+scene tree, no TileMap, no camera. Production proof scenes
+(`gameplay_arc_proof.tscn`, `world_map.tscn`, etc.) render from the
+`GameState` autoload, not from a `GdPlayerApi`-held state. There is
+NO path today that takes the JSON state held by
+`GdPlayerApi.load_state_json` and renders it visually.
+
+Wiring this requires either:
+
+1. **Render bridge** — extract the proof-scene rendering pipeline into
+   a function that takes a `GdGameState` instance (not the
+   autoload), so the harness can pass its bootstrapped + ticked state
+   for capture.
+2. **Two-process orchestration** — one process drives the JSON pump,
+   another reads its events and replays them into a renderable scene
+   on the side.
+
+Either is its own objective with its own surface area. Neither was
+specced in p2-67 Phase 0-9 because Phase 13 was scoped as "use the
+existing render path" without verifying one existed for this state
+shape.

+
+**Not** "ObservationStore is the wrong shape" — `ObservationStore` is
+fine as a *query surface*: `get_turn(turn).tile_indices.contains(idx)`
+answers "was tile X visible to player P at turn T", which is exactly
+what a fog projector needs for "Visible / Fogged / Hidden" classification.

+What's **missing** is the Rust-side visibility *producer*. Today

+pre-computed visibility — the caller (presumably GDScript `Vision.gd`
+or an equivalent Rust port that hasn't been ported yet) owns the
