    "game_kind_note": "This is NOT a reel slot. It is a Mines/Tower-family pick-and-climb game: a vertical ladder of 12 rows, each with a fixed payout multiplier, and a 5-cell row of identical-looking red envelopes ('packets') to pick from at each step. Landing a coin advances the player up the ladder and raises the guaranteed cashout value; landing a firecracker instantly ends the round and forfeits both the original stake and the whole accumulated win. The player can press CASH OUT at any point after at least one successful step to bank the current value. There is no reel grid, no paylines, no slot-style symbol paytable with per-symbol payouts, and no free spins/bonus-buy feature set in the slot sense.",
    "theme": "Chinese Lunar New Year / fortune theme: red hongbao (lucky money) envelopes, gold coins, firecrackers, paper lanterns, a pagoda silhouette and fireworks over a night landscape with waterfalls.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) built from 19 catalogued screenshots (1280x800 desktop) + OCR + zoomed pixel-level crops.",
    "method_notes": "All numeric claims (ladder multipliers, bet limits, on-screen amounts) were re-verified personally against the source frame with scripts/zoom.py before being written here; OCR (pytesseract) was run as a secondary check but is largely unreliable on this game's decorative cartoon/scroll fonts (garbled output on 'CASHED OUT!', row-multiplier labels, intro-scroll body text) — those values were read visually from the zoomed pixels instead and are marked accordingly. UI-font elements (bottom bar, settings dialog) OCR cleanly and are quoted verbatim.",

  "color_palette": {
    "background": "A blue night-time landscape: deep blue sky fading to a lighter cornflower-blue near the horizon, silhouetted dark-blue mountains and a black multi-tiered pagoda roofline on the right, pale blue cascading waterfalls, and bursts of firework sparks in magenta/pink, purple, cyan and orange scattered across the sky.",
    "game_frame": "An ornate red-lacquer Chinese gate/shrine frame around the play grid: red columns with gold ring bands top and bottom, a green tiled pagoda roof with gold ridge trim across the very top of the screen, a red paper lantern with gold caps and a red tassel hanging from the left column, and gold horizontal beams above and below the grid.",
    "grid_cells": "Unrevealed cells: near-black dark-navy square tiles with a thin purple/indigo border. Revealed 'coin' cells: bright gold-yellow circular coin on a dark tile, multiplier text in gold with a red outline. Revealed 'firecracker' cells: a pair of red firecrackers with gold trim on a dark tile. The cell the player personally picked in a completed row is outlined with a light purple/lavender highlight border; the cell that ends a round in a loss is rendered as a solid black silhouette (burnt/exploded) instead of the normal firecracker artwork.",
    "packets_unrevealed": "Bright red envelope ('hongbao') shape with a darker red top flap, gold swirl ornaments at the bottom corners, and a gold circular badge with a yellow question mark in the center.",
    "logo_wordmark": "'FORTUNE' in bold yellow-gold 3D letters with a brown/red outline on a red diamond-shaped banner, with 'RED PACKETS' in smaller yellow-gold letters on a red ribbon beneath it.",
    "buttons": "START and the bet-stepper up/down carets: warm gradient from orange to yellow-gold, dark brown/black text or glyph. CASH OUT: a bright yellow-to-green radial gradient circle with dark green bold text 'CASH OUT'. Left/right carousel arrows on the intro scroll: solid golden-yellow triangles.",
    "progress_track": "A tall vertical rounded-rectangle track on the right edge of the base-game screen: red/gold outer border, black empty portion at the top, a glowing yellow-gold filled portion at the bottom that grows as the player climbs the ladder, with a red Chinese paper lantern (gold cap top and bottom) marking the current fill level.",
    "text_colors": "Row multiplier labels (vertical, along the left edge of the grid) are gold/tan on the dark frame. 'Step N/12' and 'Cashout: X FUN' banners are in a warm orange-to-yellow gradient with a brown outline. Balance/Total bet labels in the bottom bar are pale grey-white on a near-black bar."

    "layout": "5 packets per row (columns), 12 rows total forming the full ladder from bottom (lowest multiplier) to top (highest multiplier). Only 4 rows are visible in the viewport at once; the view auto-scrolls upward as the player advances so that the currently active (selectable) row and the next locked row above it stay visible, while completed rows below scroll out of view.",

      "active_selectable": "The current row: 5 red envelope packets, each with a gold ring and yellow question mark, one of which glows with a gold outline highlight (observed moving to whichever packet the pointer/last action focused on); caption 'Step N/12 — Select a packet' is shown centered over the grid.",
      "completed": "A row the player has already passed: all 5 cells are revealed — 4 show a gold coin with the row's multiplier printed on it, 1 shows a pair of red firecrackers (the cell that would have ended the round). The single cell the player actually clicked is marked with a light-purple outline border, whether it turned out to be a coin (win) or, on the final row of a lost round, a solid black silhouette instead of the firecracker artwork."
    },
    "step_flow": "Round starts at 'Step 0/12' with all cells as unrevealed red '?' packets and the caption 'Choose any packet you want!'. Picking a packet in the bottom-most row (row 1, multiplier x1.23) reveals that whole row (4 coins + 1 firecracker) and advances to 'Step 1/12'; the status line then reads 'Cashout: 1.23 FUN' and 'Step 1/12'. Each further successful pick advances the step counter by one and updates the Cashout readout to that row's multiplier x total bet. This continues up to Step 12/12 (top of the 12-row ladder) if the player survives every row.",
    "loss_behavior": "If the picked cell in the active row is a firecracker, the round ends immediately: the picked cell renders as a solid black silhouette, the rest of that row and any remaining un-revealed rows above are auto-revealed (showing their pre-determined coin/firecracker layout), the status line reverts to 'Press Start to play', and the balance is reduced by the original stake with no partial refund of the already-accumulated cashout value (per the in-game Paytable text, see 'rules_text' below).",
    "cash_out": "A 'CASH OUT' button (bright yellow-green circle, dark green text) appears in the bottom-right control area as soon as a round is in progress (observed present already at Step 0/12, though it is not exercised until at least one row has been won). Pressing it ends the round in a win and shows the win_screen with the accumulated multiplier and amount.",
    "side_progress_indicator": "A vertical lantern-marker gauge on the right edge of the screen, independent of the grid's own auto-scroll, fills from the bottom as the player advances through the 12 steps — a secondary, position-based (non-text) progress cue.",
    "grid_size_note": "The visible play window is a 5-column x 4-row grid, but the full ladder the game scrolls through is 12 rows deep (12 steps), not 4. The 4x5 visible window is a viewport, not the total game structure — do not read it as 'a 20-cell slot grid'."

    "preview.png and rules_p1.png are pixel-identical in composition (both show the exact same first carousel card) because this game has no separate loading splash distinct from its tutorial — the first frame after load IS tutorial page 1. Both are catalogued deliberately, not a mislabeling error.",
    "3 small circular icons at the lower-left of the Paytable overlay (money bag / clock-history / question mark) do not respond to clicks in this build — treated as inert decorative/placeholder badges.",
    "The round-history panel is legitimately empty on a fresh demo session (session-scoped data, not a game characteristic).",
    "base_game.png / settings.png / bet_min.png / bet_max.png share the same background scene (the empty grid) with only small differences (a dialog overlay, or the Total bet value) — this is expected for this UI, not an accidental duplicate capture.",
    "game_kind is recorded as 'crash' per project convention for this pick-and-climb/cash-out mechanic family (Mines/Tower-style), matching prior catalogue entries for structurally similar titles — this is a categorization choice, not a claim the game literally shows an ascending multiplier curve/plane like a classic crash game."

  "accessibility_observations": {
    "screen_reader": "Bottom-bar control positions are stable across all states: info/settings/history icons far-left, bet stepper center-left with the numeric value printed as text, balance printed as text bottom-left, single large primary action button bottom-right whose LABEL changes (START vs CASH OUT) rather than only its color — friendly to state announcement via text rather than color alone.",
    "motor": "Only 3 kinds of click targets exist during play: the 5 packets in the single active row, the CASH OUT button, and the bet stepper. No timed reactions are required — each row waits for input indefinitely (no observed auto-timeout in the captured session).",
    "color_blind": "The two possible outcomes per packet (coin=win vs firecracker=lose) are differentiated by SHAPE/ICON (round coin vs. paired red firecrackers), not by color alone — both icons are on similarly dark tiles. The player's own pick is marked by a highlight BORDER (position/outline), and a round-ending losing pick is marked by turning solid black (a shape/luminance change), both readable without color discrimination. The one residual color-only cue is the active-row 'glow' outline versus the darker/desaturated locked rows — this is reinforced by the row also being non-clickable when locked and by the literal question-mark icons only appearing as clickable on the active row.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "All state changes observed (step count, cashout value, win/loss result, balance) are conveyed as on-screen text/numbers; sound in the settings dialog is described as adjustable Music/Sound FX only, implying it is decorative rather than carrying unique information."

  "unreadable_or_uncertain": [
    "Row 3's multiplier label reads as 'x1.53' after a dedicated zoom crop (5x scale) — an earlier casual read of the same label at low resolution looked like 'x1.58'; the zoomed reading is what is recorded throughout this document, and 1.53 is also independently confirmed by the Step-2 'Cashout: 1.53 FUN' readout on base_game_step2_win.png.",
    "OCR (pytesseract) output for the decorative scroll/parchment-textured text (intro-scroll body copy, Paytable overlay body copy, 'CASHED OUT!' banner, row-multiplier labels) is garbled/unusable on this build's stylized cartoon font; all such text in this document was transcribed by visual reading of zoomed crops instead, and is marked as such rather than quoted from OCR.",
    "Whether the CASH OUT button is genuinely actionable at Step 0/12 (before any successful pick) or only becomes functionally meaningful after the first win could not be determined from static screenshots alone — it is visually present at Step 0 in base_game_round_start.png, but no frame captures the result of pressing it at that exact moment.",
    "The exact meaning/destination of the 3 inert lower-left icons on the Paytable overlay (money bag / history / question mark) is not stated anywhere on screen since they do not respond to clicks in this build; their icons are described visually but their intended function is not confirmed."
