+# 2026-04-07 이슈 #11 — smoke gap fix (Generator)
+
+- **관련 이슈**: #11
+- **역할**: Generator
+- **소요 시간**: ~45분
+- **Context 사용량**: ~70k tokens
+
+## 무엇을 했나
+
+EG-BIM Modeler 스모크 테스트에서 노출된 4개 통합 갭 수정.
+
+### recorder
+- `KeyTranslator` 추가: Win32 VK → 문자/키 이름 (A-Z/0-9/F1-F24/Enter/Tab/Esc/Arrows/...). 대문자 컨벤션 채택.
+- `DragCollapser.key_down` 재작성:
+  - 연속 printable key_down은 단일 `type` 스텝으로 누적 (`BOX` 등)
+  - 모디파이어(Ctrl/Shift/Alt/Win)는 상태 추적, 단독 스텝 미방출
+  - 조합 시 `ctrl+c` 형태의 `hotkey` 스텝
+  - 명명 키(enter/tab/...) → `hotkey` 스텝
+  - `ScenarioStep.RawVk` 필드 추가 (진단용)
+- `Program.cs`:
+  - `[STAThread]` 추가 (UIA3 쓰레드 친화성)
+  - `unresolved_paths` (리졸버 실행 후 null) + `no_resolver_attempt` (키 이벤트/automation null) 분리 카운터
+  - `null_target_steps` 최종 집계 출력
+  - 키 이벤트는 의미 없는 좌표(0,0)로 리졸버 호출 방지
+
+### player
+- `StepKind.Wheel`, `StepKind.Focus` 추가
+- `PlayerEngine.ExecuteStep`:
+  - null target + target 필요 종류(Click/Drag/Type/Focus)는 경고 후 skip (데스크탑 오클릭 방지)
+  - `Wheel`/`Focus` 케이스 no-op 로그 (이슈 #11 코멘트)
+
+### 테스트
+- `RecorderTests`: KeyTranslator, printable→"BOX", ctrl+c→hotkey
+- `PlayerEngineTests`: NullTarget_Skips, Wheel/Focus 파싱, Wheel 실행
+- `SmokeRegressionTests` 신규 파일: 실제 recorder output 모사 yaml → 전체 파이프라인
+
+## 결과
+- 빌드: 경고 0, 오류 0 (TreatWarningsAsErrors 유지)
+- 테스트: 53 → 60 (전원 통과)
+
+## 미결
+- `Hotkey` 스텝에 target이 null일 때도 현재는 실행됨(모디파이어 전역 키 가정). 필요 시 추후 정책 조정.
+- recorder 실사용에서 target이 여전히 null인 경우 root cause는 STA/automation 부재일 수 있어 smoke 재실행 확인 필요.
