Use these validation points when running tests:
- Timer Widget Accuracy: Countdown should be smooth and accurate within 100ms
- Speed Visibility: Emergency movement should be noticeably faster (1.9x)
- Visibility Immediacy: NPC appearance should be instant, no fade-in
- Event Dispatch: All listening NPCs should receive broadcasts
- Condition Guards: Events should only fire when conditions are met
- onceOnly Enforcement: Events should only fire once per scenario
These test scenarios complement the full healthcare scenario:
scenarios/sis01_healthcare/scenario.json.erb— Full implementation (1000+ lines)scenarios/test_*.json— Focused feature tests (minimal setup)
Run the full scenario for complete gameplay, or individual test scenarios for specific feature validation.
