A set with properties {"name": "Boss"} renames a node, and answers nodePath as its new path. A rename or a reparent carries the node paths naming the node, as the editor's rename does: NodePath values on nodes (in arrays, dictionaries, built-in resources, %unique paths) and the tracks its players' animations hold, saving a library kept in a .tres of its own. Each rewrite is listed under retargeted ({scenePath, nodePath, property or animation and track, from, to}), and under notRetargeted, with a reason, each left: a track kept in another scene or an imported file, or a value another scene gives that the move left naming nothing. The move is followed into every other .tscn that instances or inherits this scene at any depth: the editable children, values, added nodes and connections named by the old path are rewritten, since Godot finds a moved node's values by unique_id but editable children only by path and drops the values kept below them on the next save, and that scene's node paths and tracks are carried as above. A reparent also drops the node ids saved along each rewritten path, which ran through the old parent; the next save writes them again. The scenes rewritten are named under followed, and under notFollowed any left as they were, with why. A delete rewrites no path and lists under stillNaming each node path and track, here and in the scenes instancing or inheriting this one, that named the deleted node and now names nothing. A property holding a Resource takes the res:// path of one, so a texture, a material or a theme is a set like any other. A write is refused while the editor holds unsaved changes to the scene.

A server killed without warning writes no ended line, and on Windows every kill is that, so a started line with no ended line after it is a server something killed. " + "runtimeConnected counts the games of the project this server serves, and runtimes lists every game on the machine with ofThisProject saying which is which, since a game of another project is reached only by naming its projectPath. playingInEditor is null when the editor was not asked or did not answer, which is not the same as a no: with no editor connected there is nobody to ask, and an editor that does not serve the question is given a moment and then left. A game can be playing while this is null, so read it as unanswered rather than as nothing playing, and use processActive and runtimes, which come from elsewhere and do not depend on the editor answering. Its play says which play the editor is on: play.play counts the plays that editor has started since it opened, whoever started them, and play.editorPid is the editor, so two reads with different pairs are two plays even when both say playing. game.run names the run processActive is about, the one editor_output and editor_run stop answer for: its pid, its project, and adopted true when this server read it back from another server rather than starting it. It stays named after the run ends, beside processActive false, so editor_output can still read what that run printed; null when there is no run at all. startedAt says when it began, and endedAt when it ended, wherever something saw the end: a run adopted from a note another server wrote can have ended hours before this server started. editor.lspListening and editor.dapListening say whether anything accepts connections on the ports the editor names, lspPort and dapPort: Godot binds each once, as the editor starts, and reports a failure only in the log panel of the editor itself, so a false comes with serversNote, and editor_launch restart binds it again. editor.scan says whether the editor is scanning or importing and how many milliseconds ago its last scan finished (finishedMsAgo), or is null when it did not answer: the editor rewrites the class cache just after a scan, and editor_run waits that out before starting a game, saying so under waitedForEditorScanMs. Each game under runtimes is pinged with a short wait, so one held at a breakpoint is listed as unreachable rather than making this call wait out the runtime timeout; for the run this server is reporting on, heldAt says whether that is what it is, with the same three answers editor_output gives. A game the editor played announces the editor under editorPid, and so does whatever that game started for itself; a game some other server started announces none, which is how the two are told apart when both are running from one project. Each game also says which runtime addon it loaded, under addonVersion (null when it cannot say); addonIsStale is true when that code is not what this server ships, and staleNote says whether the project needs the gdharness upgrade command, spelled out to run in a shell, the game a restart, or this server a reconnect. A second checkout of a project, such as a git worktree, carries addons of its own and is where this shows. Every runtime_* answer from such a game carries addonIsStale and staleNote too. When connected is false, mayYetConnect says whether that is final: the editor dials this server rather than the other way round and backs off between tries, so for the first half-minute after a server starts, false means \"not reached yet\" as often as it means \"no editor\". True is worth waiting out; false is an editor that is not there. False beside editorCannotConnect is a project without the gdharness editor addon installed or enabled, where no editor can ever dial in, however young the server or whichever editor is open; its remedies say how to install or enable it. False beside restartInterrupted is one that an editor_launch restart on a previous server asked to quit, where the launch half never ran because that server was ended in between, usually by the reconnect the restart was taken for; editor_launch open finishes it. True beside restartUnderway is a restart still in progress, its server alive and within the wait for the old editor to go: the editor is coming, and opening another would put two on one project. listeningSince is when this server took the bridge port, which is what that window is measured from and what a caller wanting its own window should read. An editor this server opened counts for as long as its process lives, however far past that window the import runs, and awaitingLaunchedEditor names its pid so the two reasons for true are told apart. Any editor of this project running and not yet connected, whoever opened it, makes it true as well and is named under editorsNotYetConnected with its pid and start time, so a restart a reconnect interrupted after its launch is not read as nothing being there. settingsDropped appears here once when the editor this server opened saved project.godot on its way in, which is the same reading editor_launch restart makes in its own answer. A game that has announced itself in a protocol this server does not speak is listed under unreadable rather than left out, with the protocol it speaks and whether the server or the addon is the older half. This happens during an upgrade that moves the runtime protocol, which most do not: installing replaces the addon on disk as soon as the pin moves, while a server that is already running stays on the version it started with, so the two speak different protocols until the server is reconnected. Those games are real and running, but no tool here can reach them until the halves match, so runtimes stays empty and runtimeConnected stays false. An upgrade that leaves the protocol alone opens no such window and this list stays empty through it. addonIsStale is decided by the code of the editor addons rather than their version, so an editor started before an upgrade that left that code alone reports the older addonVersion, is not stale, and addonNote says so: it needs no restart. port is the one the editor bridge is on; when that is not the one this server was configured with, portWanted names the configured one and portNote says why it moved and, when it was the server this one replaced, which pid kept it. A server replacing another of its project that holds the configured port waits for it to stand down and takes the port over, which takes a few seconds; bridgeHandover says so while it waits, and it moves only if that server has not let go within the wait. An editor that has connected and not yet greeted, which lasts a frame and longer while it imports, reports nothing about itself: greeting says so, addonIsStale is absent rather than guessed, and a restart asked then waits for the greeting to learn who opened it. startedByAnEditor is an editor another editor started, by Godot's own restart or the project manager, which has none of the arguments a server gave the one before it; startedByAnEditorNote says what that costs. An engine run that loads the editor addon to do one job and quit, such as a gate's godot --headless --import, an export or a script, is not taken as the editor: a process that greets without a server's mark has its command line read first, and while that is read identifying is true and connected false; one started with such an option is turned away, and turnedAway names the last one, its pid and the option. Every other call made while an editor is arriving, before its greeting or while it is looked up, waits up to ten seconds for it to settle rather than acting on connected as it reads in that window.",

+      answer: "projectIs, when present, is the gdharness version of the addons in the project, which differs from this server's (project_info says which of the two to move), and configIs, when present, the version the project's MCP config starts, which differs from this server's, so the next connection runs that one. server names this server: its pid, its version, and lifecycleLog, the file every gdharness server of the user appends a line to when it starts, when its client first names itself, when it replaces another server of its project, and when it ends, with why it ended (the client closing its end as stdin:end, a signal by name, superseded with the successor's pid, an uncaught exception or rejection with its stack, or the exit code) and the calls it was answering then. The parent's command line follows on its own line a few seconds after the start. A server killed without warning writes no ended line, and on Windows every kill is that, so a started line with no ended line after it is a server something killed. " + "runtimeConnected counts the games of the project this server serves, and runtimes lists every game on the machine with ofThisProject saying which is which, since a game of another project is reached only by naming its projectPath. playingInEditor is null when the editor was not asked or did not answer, which is not the same as a no: with no editor connected there is nobody to ask, and an editor that does not serve the question is given a moment and then left. A game can be playing while this is null, so read it as unanswered rather than as nothing playing, and use processActive and runtimes, which come from elsewhere and do not depend on the editor answering. Its play says which play the editor is on: play.play counts the plays that editor has started since it opened, whoever started them, and play.editorPid is the editor, so two reads with different pairs are two plays even when both say playing. game.run names the run processActive is about, the one editor_output and editor_run stop answer for: its pid, its project, and adopted true when this server read it back from another server rather than starting it. It stays named after the run ends, beside processActive false, so editor_output can still read what that run printed; null when there is no run at all. startedAt says when it began, and endedAt when it ended, wherever something saw the end: a run adopted from a note another server wrote can have ended hours before this server started. editor.lspListening and editor.dapListening say whether anything accepts connections on the ports the editor names, lspPort and dapPort: Godot binds each once, as the editor starts, and reports a failure only in the log panel of the editor itself, so a false comes with serversNote, and editor_launch restart binds it again. editor.scan says whether the editor is scanning or importing and how many milliseconds ago its last scan finished (finishedMsAgo), or is null when it did not answer: the editor rewrites the class cache just after a scan, and editor_run waits that out before starting a game, saying so under waitedForEditorScanMs. Each game under runtimes is pinged with a short wait, so one held at a breakpoint is listed as unreachable rather than making this call wait out the runtime timeout; for the run this server is reporting on, heldAt says whether that is what it is, with the same three answers editor_output gives. A game the editor played announces the editor under editorPid, and so does whatever that game started for itself; a game some other server started announces none, which is how the two are told apart when both are running from one project. Each game also says which runtime addon it loaded, under addonVersion (null when it cannot say); addonIsStale is true when that code is not what this server ships, and staleNote says whether the project needs the gdharness upgrade command, spelled out to run in a shell, the game a restart, or this server a reconnect. A second checkout of a project, such as a git worktree, carries addons of its own and is where this shows. Every runtime_* answer from such a game carries addonIsStale and staleNote too. When connected is false, mayYetConnect says whether that is final: the editor dials this server rather than the other way round and backs off between tries, so for the first half-minute after a server starts, false means \"not reached yet\" as often as it means \"no editor\". True is worth waiting out; false is an editor that is not there. False beside editorCannotConnect is a project without the gdharness editor addon installed or enabled, where no editor can ever dial in, however young the server or whichever editor is open; its remedies say how to install or enable it. False beside restartInterrupted is one that an editor_launch restart on a previous server asked to quit, where the launch half never ran because that server was ended in between, usually by the reconnect the restart was taken for; editor_launch open finishes it. True beside restartUnderway is a restart still in progress, its server alive and within the wait for the old editor to go: the editor is coming, and opening another would put two on one project. listeningSince is when this server took the bridge port, which is what that window is measured from and what a caller wanting its own window should read. An editor this server opened counts for as long as its process lives, however far past that window the import runs, and awaitingLaunchedEditor names its pid so the two reasons for true are told apart. Any editor of this project running and not yet connected, whoever opened it, makes it true as well and is named under editorsNotYetConnected with its pid and start time, so a restart a reconnect interrupted after its launch is not read as nothing being there. settingsDropped appears here once when the editor this server opened saved project.godot on its way in, which is the same reading editor_launch restart makes in its own answer. A game that has announced itself in a protocol this server does not speak is listed under unreadable rather than left out, with the protocol it speaks and whether the server or the addon is the older half. This happens during an upgrade that moves the runtime protocol, which most do not: installing replaces the addon on disk as soon as the pin moves, while a server that is already running stays on the version it started with, so the two speak different protocols until the server is reconnected. Those games are real and running, but no tool here can reach them until the halves match, so runtimes stays empty and runtimeConnected stays false. An upgrade that leaves the protocol alone opens no such window and this list stays empty through it. addonIsStale is decided by the code of the editor addons rather than their version, so an editor started before an upgrade that left that code alone reports the older addonVersion, is not stale, and addonNote says so: it needs no restart. port is the one the editor bridge is on; when that is not the one this server was configured with, portWanted names the configured one and portNote says why it moved and, when it was the server this one replaced, which pid kept it. A server replacing another of its project that holds the configured port waits for it to stand down and takes the port over, which takes a few seconds; bridgeHandover says so while it waits, and it moves only if that server has not let go within the wait. An editor that has connected and not yet greeted, which lasts a frame and longer while it imports, reports nothing about itself: greeting says so, addonIsStale is absent rather than guessed, and a restart asked then waits for the greeting to learn who opened it. startedByAnEditor is an editor another editor started, by Godot's own restart or the project manager, which has none of the arguments a server gave the one before it; startedByAnEditorNote says what that costs. An engine run that loads the editor addon to do one job and quit, such as a gate's godot --headless --import, an export or a script, is not taken as the editor: a process that greets without a server's mark has its command line read first, and while that is read identifying is true and connected false; one started with such an option is turned away, and turnedAway names the last one, its pid and the option. Every other call made while an editor is arriving, before its greeting or while it is looked up, waits up to ten seconds for it to settle rather than acting on connected as it reads in that window. serverVersion is the gdharness version of this server. bridgeAvailable says the editor bridge is listening; when it failed to start, startupError gives the error, and retryingBridge is true while this server tries again. announcedAt is the file where this server told editors of its project which port to dial. connectedAt is when the editor connected, and lastPongAt when it last answered this server's keep-alive ping. addonDigest is a hash of the editor addon's code, which addonIsStale compares with what this server ships. debugPort is the port of the editor's remote debugger, the one games it plays connect to. openedByAServer says a gdharness server started this editor, and syncsBreakpoints that it keeps its breakpoints when a debug session opens, which Godot otherwise clears. pendingRequests counts the requests sent to the editor and not yet answered, and queuedResources the files with writes waiting behind another write to the same file.",
