+# PR 11.84 Asteroids Manifest Chrome Assets Validation
+
+## Scope executed
+- Updated only `games/Asteroids/game.manifest.json`.
+- No loader/shared behavior changes.
+
+## Manifest changes
+- `tools.asset-browser.assets.media.image.asteroids.bezel.path`
+  - from: `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/bezel.png`
+  - to: `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/bezel1.png`
+- Added/kept explicit background chrome asset entry:
+  - `tools.asset-browser.assets.media.image.asteroids.background.path`
+  - value: `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/deluxe.png`
+
+## Required targeted validation commands
+1. `Test-Path .\games\Asteroids\assets\images\bezel1.png`
+- Result: `False`
+
+2. `Test-Path .\games\Asteroids\assets\images\deluxe.png`
+- Result: `True`
+
+3. `Select-String -Path .\games\Asteroids\game.manifest.json -Pattern "bezel1.png|deluxe.png"`
+- Result:
+  - `games\Asteroids\game.manifest.json:190: "path": "/games/Asteroids/assets/images/bezel1.png",`
+  - `games\Asteroids\game.manifest.json:195: "path": "/games/Asteroids/assets/images/deluxe.png",`
+
+## Additional verification
+- `Select-String -Path .\games\Asteroids\game.manifest.json -Pattern "assets/images/bezel.png","assets/images/background.png" -SimpleMatch`
+- Result: no matches
+
+- Targeted launch smoke (games):
+  - `node tests/runtime/LaunchSmokeAllEntries.test.mjs --games`
+  - Result: PASS (`12/12`), including Asteroids launch pass.
+
+## Notes
+- The PR requirement to point bezel at `bezel1.png` is satisfied in manifest.
+- `bezel1.png` file presence check currently returns `False`; this PR does not create placeholder image files by design.

+# PR 11.85 Validation
+
+## Scope
+- Enforced manifest-only chrome asset sourcing.
+- Added `stretchOverride.uniformEdgeStretchPx = 10` to every `image.*.bezel` manifest entry.
+- Preserved Asteroids chrome paths:
+  - `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/bezel1.png`
+  - `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/deluxe.png`
+
+## Files changed
+- `games/Asteroids/game.manifest.json`
+- `tools/shared/asteroidsPlatformDemo.js`
+
+## Targeted checks run
+
+### 1) Syntax/import checks
+- `node --check src/engine/runtime/gameImageConvention.js` -> PASS
+- `node --check tools/shared/asteroidsPlatformDemo.js` -> PASS
+- `node -e "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('games/Asteroids/game.manifest.json','utf8')); console.log('ASTEROIDS_MANIFEST_JSON_OK')"` -> PASS
+
+### 2) Manifest bezel stretch enforcement
+- Audit command (Node) over all `games/*/game.manifest.json` media entries matching `image.*.bezel`.
+- Result:
+  - Found bezel entries: `1`
+  - `games/Asteroids/game.manifest.json` `image.asteroids.bezel` has `stretchOverride.uniformEdgeStretchPx = 10`.
+
+### 3) Remove/deprecate guessed/hardcoded bezel/background loaders
+- Scan command:
+  - `rg -n "assets/images/bezel\\.png|assets/images/background\\.png|toImagePath\\(|games/\\$\\{.*\\}/assets/images/(bezel|background)\\.png" src games tools -g "*.js"`
+- Result: no matches in runtime/source JS loaders.
+
+### 4) Affected launch/chrome path validation
+- Targeted runtime validation script (Node ESM) verified:
+  - SolarSystem manifest resolves no chrome image paths and does not request guessed `background.png`/`bezel.png`.
+  - Asteroids manifest resolves bezel/background from declared manifest assets.
+  - Asteroids bezel request uses `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/bezel1.png`.
+- Output: `PR_11_85_TARGETED_CHROME_VALIDATION_PASS`
+
+### 5) Targeted launch regression check
+- `node tests/runtime/LaunchSmokeAllEntries.test.mjs --games` -> PASS (`12/12`)
+- Includes PASS for affected games:
+  - `Asteroids`
+  - `SolarSystem`
+
+## Explicit full-suite note
+- Full sample suite was skipped for this PR.
+- Reason: this is targeted manifest/chrome-loading work; targeted runtime checks and games launch smoke cover the affected surface.
+
+## Outcome
+- Manifest is the chrome source of truth for affected runtime pathing.
+- No guessed/hardcoded bezel/background URL construction remains in runtime/source JS loader paths.
+- Asteroids manifest chrome paths preserved as required.

+# PR 11.85 — Manifest Bezel Stretch + Chrome Asset Source of Truth
+
+## Purpose
+Add `stretchOverride.uniformEdgeStretchPx = 10` to every `image.*.bezel` manifest entry and enforce `game.manifest.json` as the only source for bezel/background image loading.
+
+## Scope
+- Update manifest asset entries named like `image.*.bezel`.
+- Add:
+  ```json
+  "stretchOverride": {
+    "uniformEdgeStretchPx": 10
+  }
+  ```
+- Ensure Asteroids keeps:
+  - `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/bezel1.png`
+  - `/games/Asteroids/assets/images/deluxe.png`
+- Remove/deprecate any code path that guesses or hardcodes bezel/background paths such as:
+  - `/games/<Game>/assets/images/bezel.png`
+  - `/games/<Game>/assets/images/background.png`
+- Game chrome must load bezel/background only when declared in `game.manifest.json`.
+- Missing optional bezel/background assets must render safe empty state, not request guessed files.
+
+## Non-goals
+- Do not add fallback images.
+- Do not create aliases or shim loaders.
+- Do not rewrite unrelated game manifests.
+- Do not modify launch-smoke-owned cleanup artifacts except those explicitly owned by launch smoke.
+
+## Acceptance
+- All `image.*.bezel` manifest entries include `stretchOverride.uniformEdgeStretchPx = 10`.
+- No code constructs guessed bezel/background URLs.
+- SolarSystem no longer requests missing `bezel.png` or `background.png` unless declared in manifest.
+- Asteroids bezel/background load from manifest-declared files only.
+- Targeted validation documents skipped full sample suite.

+# PR 11.86 — Manifest Bezel Stretch SSoT
+
+## Purpose
+Keep bezel stretch configuration in exactly one place: the `image.*.bezel` asset entry inside each `game.manifest.json`.
+
+## Required change
+- Add or keep:
+  ```json
+  "stretchOverride": {
+    "uniformEdgeStretchPx": 10
+  }
+  ```
+  only on manifest entries whose key matches `image.*.bezel`.
+- Remove any duplicate bezel stretch configuration from `asset-browser.assets.bezel` or equivalent asset-browser/chrome-helper locations.
+- Preserve `image.*.background` entries without bezel stretch metadata unless explicitly required by a future PR.
+
+## Source of truth rule
+`game.manifest.json` image entries are the only source of truth for bezel/background asset loading and bezel stretch metadata.
+
+## Acceptance
+- `image.asteroids.bezel` contains `stretchOverride.uniformEdgeStretchPx = 10`.
+- No `asset-browser.assets.bezel.stretchOverride` remains.
+- No hardcoded or fallback bezel/background paths are introduced.
+- Runtime still loads Asteroids bezel/background from `game.manifest.json` only.
