jesse d45f35736a fix: car now drives - collision groups, rigid hubs, pad spawn, anticheat grace
Four independent bugs kept the car immobile at the world origin:

1. Wheels collided with their own chassis. Wheel inner edge sits at 2.80
   vs body edge 3.00, and wheel top -0.20 vs body bottom -0.70. The
   overlap is intentional styling, but in one collision group the wheels
   ground against the body: motors spun ~1 rad/s against 20,000 torque.
   Wheels now use a CarWheel group that ignores CarChassis.

2. Suspension exploded on spawn. PrismaticConstraint+SpringConstraint
   between a 0.6-stud hub and the ballasted body was unstable enough to
   fling knuckles ~10,000,000 studs out, past FallenPartsDestroyHeight,
   deleting the wheels. Replaced with a rigid welded hub mount.

3. Car spawned at world origin, not the pad. MapBuilder made a SpawnPad
   part but no SpawnLocation, so characters spawned at (0,0,0) and Sit()
   dragged the car to them. Added a real SpawnLocation and the model is
   now pivoted after parenting, with the character teleported first.

4. AntiCheat snapped that legitimate spawn teleport back. An ~8,500-stud
   server move reads as a teleport hack. Added AntiCheat.grant() so
   server-initiated moves are exempt for a short grace window.

Verified in Studio: 881 studs in 6s, 496 studs/s top speed, 152 deg
steering, braking 33 -> 0 studs/s, chassis stays upright.

Tokyo Wangan Racing

A Roblox game where you cruise a neon Tokyo expressway at night in cool cars — starting with a real 1993 Mazda RX-7. The driving feel comes first; everything else layers on top of it. See docs/ROADMAP.md for what comes next.

Status: Playable. Spawn → drive → switch cars → respawn, plus the full three-mode Wangan loop. CI green on a self-hosted Gitea runner. Built code-first — nothing to hand-build in Studio.

The Daikoku loop (how you play)

Daikoku Futo PA is the hub, exactly like Tokyo Xtreme Racer. You are never "joining a match" — you park, pick how you want to run, and drive out.

        IN THE PA  ──►  pick a mode  ──►  cross the exit gate  ──►  RUNNING
             ▲                                                        │
             └──────────────── pull back into the PA ─────────────────┘
Mode 日本語 What it is
CRUISE 流し Free roam. Bank kilometres, meet other drivers. Rivals can pull alongside and challenge you.
DUEL バトル Hunt rivals. First to open a ~350-stud gap and hold it for 3s wins. No laps, no checkpoints — who breaks first.
TIME ATTACK タイムアタック Solo flying lap with 4 sector splits and a saved personal best. Rivals can't interrupt you.

Cruise and Duel both allow challenges, so a cruise can turn into a battle organically — pull alongside someone and the prompt appears for both of you. Time Attack deliberately opts out so a hot lap is never ruined.

Kilometres, lap times and duel records all persist via ProfileStore.


Prerequisites

Toolchain is managed by Rokit. With Rokit on your PATH:

rokit install     # rojo, wally, selene, stylua at pinned versions
wally install     # restores ProfileStore into ServerPackages/
Tool Purpose
rojo Sync/build code ↔ Roblox place
wally Package manager (ProfileStore)
selene Static analysis / linter
stylua Code formatter

Build & run

rojo build --output build.rbxl   # standalone place file to open in Studio
# OR live-sync into an open Studio place (install the Rojo Studio plugin):
rojo serve

In Studio press Play. You spawn on the expressway in your car. Bottom bar: CARS (switch car) and RESPAWN (re-spawn if you flip). The RX-7 only appears for allowlisted accounts.

Quality gates (CI enforces these on every push)

stylua --check src/     # formatting
selene src/             # lint
rojo build --output build.rbxl   # must compile

CI runs on a self-hosted Gitea Actions runner on UNRAID-1 (Ubuntu 24.04 job container — rojo's binary needs glibc 2.39). Workflow: .gitea/workflows/ci.yml.


Architecture (server-authoritative)

Clients request, the server decides. The RX-7 allowlist and anti-cheat are server-side.

ReplicatedStorage/Shared     GameConfig, Cars, ProfileTemplate, Remotes
ServerScriptService/Server   init.server + managers (below)
ServerScriptService/ServerPackages  ProfileStore (Wally)
StarterPlayerScripts/Client  init.client (HUD + car picker)
Module Responsibility
DataManager Wraps ProfileStore — session locking, reconcile, Studio mock. Remembers your last car.
CarManager Spawns the equipped car (VehicleSeat-driven placeholder) and enforces the RX-7 allowlist.
MapBuilder Procedurally builds the expressway, spawn pad, neon pylons, kill walls.
AntiCheat Movement sanity check (speed/teleport) — a speed bump, not a fortress.

The RX-7 demo-lock: GameConfig.RX7AllowedUserIds holds the owner's + son's Roblox UserIds; only they can select/drive the RX-7 (enforced in CarManager and the EquipCar remote).

Replacing the placeholder RX-7 with the real mesh

One function changes: CarManager.buildCarModel. Full step-by-step in docs/MESH_SWAP.md. Reference photos live on the NAS at unraid-1:/mnt/user/data/yy-roblox-games/0-tokyo-wangan-racing/001-1993 Mazda RX-7/.
