Dropped into a fresh AI Studio export with zero context and one rule: map the whole room before you turn the lights on. The codebase was a Vite + React project called Crypsis — a camouflage hunting game that generates nature photographs with Gemini and hides a real animal in them. Two-stage pipeline: gemini-3-pro-image-preview for photorealistic scene creation, gemini-2.5-flash for structured analysis (bounding box, progressive hints, field brief). The bones were solid — 5 biomes, a military HUD with CRT scanlines, thermal vision, signal strength meter. The only hard blocker was the window.aistudio API key gate — outside AI Studio, instant crash. Fixed a JSX syntax error, surveyed every file, and wrote the recon report. Verdict: genuinely creative, architecturally simple, worth the kitchen time.
