Gameplay Core Backlog

This backlog captures remaining audit work after strict character creation + SBT mapping fixes.

Completed in this iteration

• Strict offchain stat roll endpoint and strict create gating
• Unified client/server profile limits through shared rules
• Halfling slot penalty removed; slot formula is attribute/class-based
• Starter kit quantity + class-kit zero-slot handling
• Mint-side strict validation for profile and slot consistency
• Onchain/offchain SBT split documented

P0 (must keep stable)

1. Add integration tests for /api/character/roll and /api/character/create strict validation matrix.
2. Add regression tests for starter kits: quantity, slot override, and empty-inventory seed idempotency.
3. Add compatibility test for existing heroes with old snapshots (hero-sbt-v1 to hero-sbt-v2 read path).

P1 (next priority)

1. Implement full creation-time gear purchase flow from 2d6*5 gp budget as optional strict mode extension.
2. Audit all item costs in server/src/game/itemSeeds.ts and server/src/game/quickstartCommonItemSeeds.ts against quickstart tables.
3. Add explicit server endpoint for post-adventure offchain inventory snapshot updates with validation rules.

P2 (system-wide parity)

1. End-to-end combat parity audit: initiative, critical hit behavior, morale, dying/stabilize edge cases.
2. Spellcasting parity audit (wizard mishaps, priest penalties, focus maintenance).
3. Economy audit for loot/value scaling vs quickstart baseline and campaign progression targets.
