3. Update entity interaction, triggers, chunk management, and other
systems that currently assume tile-based positioning so they work
with the new 3D positioning/movement code.
4. Investigate and fix poor UI rendering performance. Rendering the
console alone tanks framerate despite the existing mesh
optimizations, so there is likely more headroom to find in the
vertex/text rendering path.
4. Investigate and fix poor UI rendering performance. First pass done
(2026-07-31): slider/tab/frame/textbox now cache their sprite
geometry instead of rebuilding it every frame, and the console's
vertex buffer is fixed-size instead of alloc/free churn (see
`STATUS.md`'s "UI rendering performance" note for detail). Still
open: per-widget material/color changes still force a sprite-batch
flush each time (color is per-material, not per-vertex), so a row of
alternating highlighted widgets still costs one draw call per
widget.
5. Create UI elements for displaying status indicators, e.g. network
connection state and save-in-progress.
6. Fully test saving end-to-end on all supported platforms.

`docker/vita/` reference `-DDUSK_TARGET_SYSTEM=vita`, but no
`cmake/targets/vita.cmake` exists, so the build is currently broken.
Either implement it or remove the dangling scripts/Dockerfile.
4. Add per-PR CI build coverage for at least one non-Linux target (PSP,
Knulli, GameCube, Wii currently only build on tag push, so
regressions there are invisible until a release).
5. Tackle milestone 4 above (poor UI rendering performance) with a
concrete lead: extend `uiconsole.c`'s cached-mesh pattern (rebuild
only on dirty) to the general widget framework
(`uiframe.c`/`uilabel.c`/buttons/menus), which currently rebuilds and
re-uploads geometry via `spriteBatchBuffer`/`meshFlush` every frame.
4. Per-PR CI build coverage for non-Linux targets: first pass added
2026-07-31 as `run-tests-gamecube-dolphin`/`run-tests-wii-dolphin`
(build the ISO, boot it in Dolphin under Xvfb) and
`run-tests-psp-ppsspp` (build the EBOOT, boot it in PPSSPPHeadless)
in `.github/workflows/test.yml`, plus matching
`scripts/test-*-dolphin.sh`/`scripts/test-psp-ppsspp.sh` (+ `-docker`
variants). Marked `continue-on-error: true` since none of these have
actually been exercised on a real runner yet -- verify they pass
before relying on them, and drop the flag once they do. Knulli still
has no per-PR coverage at all.
5. Milestone 4 above (poor UI rendering performance) has a first pass
in (2026-07-31, see `STATUS.md`) -- remaining concrete lead: sprite
batch flushes are keyed on shader+material (including tint color),
so per-widget color changes (e.g. focus highlight) still force a
flush per widget; moving tint to per-vertex color would let a whole
row of widgets batch into one draw call regardless of highlight
state.
6. Revisit the GameCube/Wii networking static-IP workaround in
`networkdolphin.c` -- it's standing in for an unresolved suspected
memory-corruption bug in `if_config()`'s DHCP path.
