Looking for beta feedback

Foes don't interrupt starting sprinting, either by attacking you or by you attacking them via flanking. If you stop moving to attack then you lose the sprinting build-up.

I'm not sure I see the connection to the initial question about whether the moves have to be four squares in a straight line. Might be better to have a chat next I'm back on Angband.live because I think I'm getting confused about what you're driving at here.

The basic rules for sprinting are you can turn 45 degrees each move. So:

E, E, E, E works
E, NE, N , NW works
E, NE, E , SE works
etc.

Not sure if that answers the question

I think wobbly has the best examples that answer my question. i.e. Now, I understand that players don't need to do four moves in a straight line. For some reason since '12, I thought the 4 consecutive moves in one direction e.g. W-W-W-W was a requirement. I apparently, I didn't realize that. Maybe if Quirk can spectate what I'm doing in Vanilla-Sil. (I could do Sil-Q, but I'm awaiting the new release and Gwarl to update it so that I can finish my current Hugoesque 51 run in style.)

It figures that—once again—I am my own worst enemy; I didn't even need to stick Wrath-curse on that second self-made artifact since I already had it from the first one, but I did it anyway because of shits and giggles and why not?

EDIT: Just had another death where monsters were (intermittingly) merely Confident as opposed to Aggressive while I was wearing a source of Wrath; this time against a troll guard, which aren't known for fleeing in any case. I was wearing only once source of Wrath this time, for what it's worth.

Troll guards drop to confidant with enough of a morale penalty, it's a rare thing to see without Majesty, Song of Trees or Troll-bane but it does happen. Which isn't to say it didn't bug out, just that what happened is possible without a bug.

Pretty sure that this is what happened there. I stuck in a fix that makes them stay aggressive when affected by Wrath, and wrath in general should work as intended now. I verified my fix didn't break Elbereth.

New version is out.

Question (and this is still in Sil-Q 1.4.1):
I noticed that I can still easily (or at least kind-of-easily) bash down doors despite being stunned or even heavily stunned. Is this anything out of the ordinary?

It's always been that way, I think for playability reasons. Some doors are "stuck" and if you're trying to flee something chasing you and the first failure to bash puts you into a state where you are both debuffed in combat and unable to open the door while debuffed, there are going to be more unfortunate deaths. I am not entirely sure the stun even makes sense if you're envisaging trying to break the door open with a mighty kick or an axe blow - it somehow suggests to me you're running into the door headfirst or throwing your whole weight at it and bouncing off, which doesn't seem like an optimal opening technique.
