 # Spigot Tyrant Design Log
 
+## 2026-08-21 — Tyrant control panel completed
+
+- Completed US-015 and the reopened US-003, US-004, and US-009 control-panel criteria with overview, unlock purchase confirmation, class assignment, and ability screens.
+- The active Tyrant can open the panel with `/tyrant` or `/tyrant menu`; existing command alternatives remain available and provide the authoritative mutations behind menu actions.
+- Added a 100-tick login delay with online, lifecycle, role, and already-opened session checks so only the current Tyrant receives one automatic panel per login.
+- Verified command routing, authorization, overview state, delayed opening safeguards, compiler warnings, tests, and packaging with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-08-21 — Tyrant control panel implementation started
+
+- US-003, US-004, US-009, and US-015 begin a test-first implementation of the Tyrant control panel and its delayed login opening.
+- The installed Spigot API does not expose a native dialog API, so the control panel will use a server-rendered inventory menu while preserving command alternatives.
+
+## 2026-08-21 — Tyrant control panel planned
+
+- Added US-015 for a graphical Tyrant control panel covering reign overview, unlock purchases, class assignments, and roster intelligence while retaining command alternatives.
+- Planned automatic control-panel opening five seconds after the active Tyrant joins a running event, with lifecycle, role, disconnect, and duplicate-opening safeguards.
+- Reopened US-003, US-004, and US-009 in the backlog to track their approved control-panel interactions.
+
+## 2026-08-18 — Preserve ordinary potion effects
+
+- Corrected Assassin effect maintenance so it refreshes active Tyrant abilities without removing invisibility, Speed, or Weakness supplied by potions, commands, or other plugins.
+- Expired or inapplicable Tyrant-managed effects stop refreshing and expire naturally within their short 30-tick maintenance duration, while double-jump flight cleanup remains immediate.
+- Reopened and completed US-005 with regression coverage; verified `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-08-14 — Opt-out proximity glow completed
+
+- Extended US-011 with a globally visible green outline for opted-out players in the Tyrant's world and configured range while the event is running.
+- A periodic controller removes the glow when eligibility, proximity, world, lifecycle, or player availability changes and clears managed state on logout and shutdown.
+- Scoreboard presentation records and restores each player's previous team and glowing state instead of permanently replacing unrelated presentation.
+- Verified inclusive range behavior, lifecycle and availability gating, green presentation, restoration, and the full Gradle build.
+
+## 2026-08-14 — Opt-out proximity glow started
+
+- US-011 is reopened for a test-first green outline on opted-out players near the Tyrant during a running event, using the existing configurable Tyrant range.
+- Cleanup will cover range, world, participation, lifecycle, availability, shutdown, and restoration of pre-existing scoreboard-team membership.
+
+## 2026-08-14 — Join messaging refinement completed
+
+- Updated US-011 so join output no longer announces running, paused, or unstarted lifecycle state.
+- Eligible unassigned players now see the neutral prompt, `Use /tyrant optout if you do not want to participate in Tyrant events.`
+- Role, class, ability, cooldown, and existing opt-out details remain unchanged.
+- Verified both assigned and unassigned join output with automated tests.
+
+## 2026-08-14 — Join messaging refinement started
+
+- US-011 is reopened to remove lifecycle announcements from join output and make the opt-out prompt refer generally to Tyrant events.
+
 ## 2026-08-14 — Opt-out combat protection completed
 
 - Extended US-011 with bidirectional combat isolation between opted-out players and the Tyrant, Assassin, Fixer, or Tamer while the event is running.

+# US-015: Manage a reign through the Tyrant control panel
+
+As the **Tyrant**, I want a control panel for my reign so that I can inspect progress, purchase unlocks, assign classes, and use abilities without memorizing commands.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] The active Tyrant can open the control panel with `/tyrant menu`, and `/tyrant` with no arguments opens the same panel.
+- [x] A player who is not the active Tyrant cannot open or operate the control panel.
+- [x] When the active Tyrant joins while the event is running, the control panel opens automatically five seconds after login.
+- [x] Automatic opening is cancelled if the Tyrant disconnects, loses the Tyrant role, or the event pauses or stops during the five-second delay.
+- [x] Other players and pending Tyrant candidates do not receive the automatically opened control panel.
+- [x] Closing an automatically opened control panel does not cause it to reopen during the same login session.
+- [x] The Tyrant may open the control panel manually during the five-second delay without causing a second panel to open automatically.
+- [x] The main screen shows the Tyrant's level, unspent choices, purchased unlocks, class assignments, and roster-intelligence cooldown.
+- [x] Purchased, available, unavailable, and cooldown-gated actions are visually distinguishable and explain why they cannot currently be used.
+- [x] The Tyrant can navigate between overview, unlock, class-assignment, and ability screens and can close the panel without changing gameplay state.
+- [x] The Tyrant can review and purchase an available unlock after confirming the selected unlock and its choice cost.
+- [x] The Tyrant can select a purchased class and assign or reassign it to an eligible online player.
+- [x] The class player selector excludes the Tyrant and clearly identifies players who are opted out or otherwise ineligible.
+- [x] Class reassignment identifies the current holder and requires confirmation before replacing that holder.
+- [x] The Tyrant can activate roster intelligence from the panel when the ability is purchased and ready.
+- [x] A successful or rejected action refreshes the panel from authoritative current state and communicates the result clearly.
+- [x] Panel actions use the same domain rules and persistence behavior as their command equivalents.
+- [x] Stale, repeated, or concurrent panel interactions cannot duplicate purchases, bypass cooldowns, or create conflicting assignments.
+- [x] Panel actions become unavailable immediately if the game pauses, the reign ends, or the player is no longer the Tyrant.
+- [x] Existing `/tyrant choices`, `/tyrant buy`, `/tyrant assign`, and `/tyrant intelligence` commands remain available as alternatives.
+
+## Validation
+
+Automated tests verify command entry points, active-Tyrant authorization, authoritative overview state, the exact 100-tick login delay, lifecycle cancellation, and duplicate-opening prevention. The complete `./gradlew clean check jar` lifecycle passes.
