 **`kiln-core/src/game.rs`** — game-loop logic only:
-- `GameState` — holds `board: Rc<RefCell<Board>>`, `log: Vec<LogLine>`, and `scripts: ScriptHost`. Front-ends reach the board through `board() -> Ref<Board>` / `board_mut() -> RefMut<Board>`. `try_move(dir)` moves the player (pushing if possible) and fires `bump(-1)` on any solid object walked into. `run_init()` runs object `init()` hooks once at startup. `tick(dt)` advances cooldowns and runs `tick(dt)` hooks every frame. Both end by calling `apply_commands()`, which drains the board queue and applies each `Action` (`Log` → `log`, `SetTile` → source glyph, `Move(dir)` → `step_object`). Resolution is two-phase: mutate the board collecting `(bumped, bumper)` pairs, drop the borrow, then fire `run_bump` for each pair. `drain_errors()` moves script errors into `log`.
+- `SpeechBubble { object_id, text, remaining }` — an active speech bubble created by a script's `say(s)` call. `remaining` counts down in `GameState::tick`; when it reaches zero the bubble is removed. At most one bubble per object (a new `say()` replaces the old one).
+- `SAY_DURATION: f64` — how long a bubble lives (3.0 seconds).

 **`kiln-core/src/floor.rs`** — the visual floor layer:
 - The floor is a cosmetic per-cell background drawn wherever a cell would render as `Archetype::Empty` (it is *how* `Empty` is drawn; the cell's own `Empty` glyph is ignored). Computed once at load and cached on `Board::floor`, so there is no per-frame cost / flicker; the raw `FloorSpec` is also kept (`Board::floor_spec`) so `map_file::save` round-trips it.

 - `ScriptHost` — owns the Rhai `Engine`, the compiled scripts referenced by a board's objects (compiled once per name), a per-object persistent `Scope` + output queue + ready timer, and the shared board queue. Built with `ScriptHost::new(&Rc<RefCell<Board>>)` (registers the API, compiles scripts, reports compile/unknown-script failures onto the error sink; runs nothing).
 - Lifecycle hooks per object: `init()` (zero-arg), `tick(dt)` (elapsed seconds as `f64`), and `bump(id)` (the bumper's `ObjectId`, or `-1` for the player), all optional — detected via `AST::iter_functions()` by name and arity. Driven by `run_init()` / `run_tick(dt)` / `run_bump(object_id, bumper)`; runtime errors go to the error sink (drained to the log), not fatal.
 - **Reads (direct):** read getters (`player_x`, `player_y`, `width`, `height`) are registered on `Rc<RefCell<Board>>` (the `BoardRef` alias, exposed to Rhai under the type name `Board`) — getters only, so read-only by construction. A clone of the handle is pushed into each scope as the constant `Board`. `blocked(dir) -> bool` is also a read fn: true if the caller's target cell is off-board, already solid, or the destination of a pending move on the board queue (an object never sees its *own* move, which is pumped only after its script returns). `has_tag(s) -> bool` and `get_tags() -> Array` read the calling object's tag set; `objects_with_tag(s) -> Array` returns all object ids carrying that tag. `my_name() -> String` returns the calling object's name (or `""` if unnamed); `object_id_for_name(s) -> i64` looks up an object by name and returns its id, or `0` if not found. Each getter briefly borrows the shared `Board`.
-- **Actions & rate limiting (two-tier queues):** host fns `move(dir)`, `set_tile(n)`, `log(s)` append an `Action` (`Move`/`SetTile`/`Log`; `Action::time_cost()` is `MOVE_COST = 0.25` s for `Move`, else 0) to the *issuing object's* output queue (routed by the per-call tag via a `HashMap<usize, ObjQueue>`). `ScriptHost::pump(i)` promotes ready actions onto the shared **board queue** (`Vec<BoardAction { source, action }>`): the leading run of zero-cost actions plus at most one timed action, which arms that object's **ready timer** and ends the pump. While a ready timer is `> 0` nothing is pulled (this caps object speed); `advance_timers(dt)` counts them down each frame. `GameState` drains the board queue with `take_board_queue()` and applies it after the batch — so scripts mutate without a `&mut GameState` borrow. Errors (compile/runtime) bypass the queues via the error sink (`take_errors()`).

Errors (compile/runtime) bypass the queues via the error sink (`take_errors()`).
 - The `Queue` object (a handle to the calling object's output queue) is pushed into each scope; scripts call `Queue.length()` and `Queue.clear()`. Safe to mutate from script because the host only touches output queues between calls (during `pump`).
 - **Sender identity:** `source` (which object issued an action) rides the per-call **tag** — `run` calls `call_fn_with_options(...with_tag(object_id)...)` and the host fns read it via `NativeCallContext::tag()` (decoded back to an `ObjectId` by `source_of`). Scripts write `move(North)` without naming themselves; `North`/`South`/`East`/`West` are `Direction` constants in scope, and `impl From<Direction> for (i32,i32)` gives the delta.
 - `GameState` (hence the `Engine`/`Scope`) is single-threaded / not `Send`; fine for kiln-tui.

 The optional `[floor]` section declares the visual floor layer (drawn under every empty cell, and revealed when a crate/object is pushed away); see `floor.rs`. It takes one of four forms: omitted (black-on-black space, the default), a generator name (`floor = "grass"`), a single fixed glyph (`[floor]` with `tile`/`fg`/`bg`), or a grid (`[floor] content` + `[floor.palette]`, whose entries are generator names or fixed glyphs). The three built-in generators are `grass`/`dirt`/`stone`. Floor parsing is best-effort: an unknown generator/char or a grid-dimension mismatch is recorded on `Board::load_errors` and those cells fall back to the default empty glyph.
 
-Colors are `"#RRGGBB"` hex strings. `player_start` accepts either `[x, y]` coordinates **or** a single grid char to locate (convention `"@"`; that cell loads as `Empty`, like an object placeholder). The `tile` field accepts either a single-character string (`tile = " "`) or an integer (`tile = 35`); both are valid and existing char-style map files continue to work. The grid multi-line string's leading newline is trimmed by TOML; trailing newline is handled correctly by `str::lines()`. Unknown archetype names produce an `ErrorBlock` cell and a logged warning, as does any grid character that is neither a `[palette]` key nor an object/player `palette` char. Objects may be placed by `x`/`y` or by a single grid `palette` char (uppercase by convention). **Loading is best-effort and nonfatal** (only a grid-dimension mismatch is a hard error): a placement char that appears multiple times uses the first occurrence, a missing object char drops that object, a missing player char falls back to `(0, 0)`, and one-solid-per-cell conflicts drop the later solid — each problem is recorded on `Board` (see `is_valid()` / `load_errors()`). The **player joins one-solid-per-cell** and *wins* its cell: it is placed first, silently clearing solid terrain under it and dropping any solid object that lands there. Script source lives in the `[scripts]` table (name → Rhai source); objects reference a script by `script_name`. Scripts may define optional `init()`, `tick(dt)`, and `bump(id)` functions; they **read** the world through `Board.*` (e.g. `Board.player_x`), check `blocked(dir) -> bool`, inspect/empty their pending actions via `Queue.length()`/`Queue.clear()`, and **write** via host functions `move(dir)` (`dir` ∈ `North`/`South`/`East`/`West`), `set_tile(n)`, and `log(s)`. Writes don't take effect immediately: each is queued and **at most one `move` resolves per 250 ms** per object (a blocked move still costs the cooldown), so objects can't act infinitely fast. When two objects move into the same cell on one tick, **lowest id wins** (= load order; the earlier-loaded object lands, the later is pushed or blocked) and the object that was moved into receives `bump(id)`.
