# Phase 06.3 Plan 16: D-53 resetSpawnDelay Summary

**The local spawn-delay counter now resets to 30 ticks on every local join, including WS reconnect paths where the existing PlayerRenderer instance persists.**

## Accomplishments

- Added `PlayerRenderer.resetSpawnDelay()` to restore `spawnDelayTicks = 30` when a local sprite already exists.
- Called `resetSpawnDelay()` from `GameScene.onLocalJoin()` immediately after `ensureLocal()`, so reconnect joins no longer skip the one-second stand hold.
- Added unit coverage for partial countdown reset and the pre-local no-op path.

## Task Commits

1. **Task 1/2: D-53 reconnect reset fix** - `eaa93bc` (`fix(06.3-16)`)

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @rebno/client test --run` - PASS, 26 test files passed, 193 tests passed, 4 todo.
- `pnpm --filter @rebno/client typecheck` - PASS.

## Not Run

- Staging WS reconnect UAT was not run in this local pass. Wave-3 verification must confirm `window.__rebno.spawnDelayTicks` returns to 30 immediately after reconnect and counts down again.
