The wizard collected race/background/skill choices but applied almost none of them.
Now (5e):
- Racial ASI is parsed and folded into the final ability scores (Human +1 each, etc.);
every downstream stat (HP, AC, attacks, saves, DCs) reflects it. Shown on the
Abilities step and Review.
- Background fixed skills and racial 'proficiency in the X skill' traits are granted
as trained, on top of class picks.
- Skill step prefers the curated class table: canonical 5e skill lists (fixes the
'and Survival'/'Animal Handling' tokenization that dropped skills) and the correct
pf2e free-choice skill count (was inflated for ~13 classes).
UX:
- 'Ready-made hero' templates no longer softlock the Abilities step: scores above the
point-buy cap switch to a new Manual entry mode (1-30) instead of '-Infinity / 27'.
- Standard-array/roll assignment swaps values on collision instead of disabling them.
Parsers extracted to builder/origin.ts with unit tests; buildCharacter gains
grantedSkills. Deferred: pf2e ancestry/background/class attribute boosts (needs the
boost-based generator), subclass/class-feature/feat mechanical effects.

The pf2e creator showed long, truncated run-ons where 5e shows clean, brief
overviews: classes were cut mid-word at 400 chars, backgrounds rendered the raw
Foundry "<Name> Source Core Rulebook pg. N …" citation prefix, and ancestry
summaries ended in a stray ellipsis.
- new src/features/characters/builder/overview.ts: briefOverview() strips the
Foundry citation prefix, drops a trailing ellipsis, and keeps the first clean
sentence (or a word-boundary trim — never mid-word). A no-op on already-short
text, so 5e is unchanged. Applied to pf2e class/ancestry/background overviews.
- dedupeByName(): the pf2e data carries reprints under duplicate names (94
ancestries, 612 backgrounds) which duplicated options and triggered React
duplicate-key warnings — now de-duplicated at load.
- 6 unit tests for both helpers.
Verified live: pf2e class cards now read as clean single sentences; no citation
junk; no duplicate-key warnings. Gate: 289 unit + 35 e2e + 2 realtime, build clean.

P5 backend (the deferred items):
- conflict-aware cloud sync via optimistic concurrency: the server versions each
backup blob (file mtime) and rejects a push whose base version is stale (409),
so a second device can't silently overwrite a newer cloud copy. The client
tracks its last-synced version; the SyncStatusIndicator surfaces a "Sync
conflict" with one-click resolution (Use cloud / Keep this device), and the
Settings push offers the same choice.
- revocable invites: owner can rotate a campaign's invite code (kills the old
one) and remove a member (drops them + deletes their published characters).
(Skipped editor/player roles — no enforcement target in the current model.)
- image storage: deliberately deferred (live images already stream de-duped on a
separate channel; a backup blob-store is infra with no correctness gain).
P7 — subclass/feat/multiclass depth:
- feats are now first-class tracked records (name + effect text) in a Feats &
Features sheet section, not buried in notes. Dexie v15 migration.
- 5e multiclass spell-slot calculator: a pure multiclassSlots() (full ×1, half
÷2, third ÷3 → full-caster table) + a sheet control to fill the slot table for
multiclass casters. (Honest scope: tracking + slots, not per-subclass feature
automation.)
P8 — test hardening: v2-surfaces e2e (feats, multiclass calc, signals bell,
World nav) + server tests (blob versioning, invite rotation, member removal) +
multiclass unit tests.
Gate green: 283 unit + 35 e2e + 2 realtime. App + server build clean.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 5 — live-session & multi-device hardening:
- connectivityStore + SyncStatusIndicator in the shell: shows "Offline" when the
browser is offline and the cloud autosave state (saving / saved / failed) when
signed in; useCloudAutosave now reports its status. Owns online/offline events.
- server presence heartbeat: protocol-level ping/pong per socket terminates a
vanished connection (~30s), so a player who closes their laptop drops out of
the GM's roster instead of lingering. No client changes needed.
Phase 6 — onboarding & friction:
- navigation: surfaced the previously orphaned routes in the rail — a new
"World" group (Notes, NPCs, Quests, Calendar) and Homebrew + Assistant under
Reference. (Empty-state hints and map rename already existed.)
- combat keyboard control: n/→ next turn, p/← previous turn, guarded so it never
fires while typing; button tooltips document it.
Test hygiene: scoped now-ambiguous nav links in e2e to the Primary landmark, and
fixed pre-existing stale emoji selectors in the realtime suite (📡 Host → Host,
📨 Just for you → Just for you) left over from the Living Codex emoji purge.
Gate green: tsc + 277 unit + 34 e2e + 2 realtime. App + server build clean.

The "buttons, not chatbot" core: the app recognizes a situation and offers the
fix; the user never has to formulate a request.
- src/lib/assistant/signals.ts: buildSignals() aggregates the existing advisor
detectors with new kernel-aware ones — quest-complete (all objectives done →
"Mark complete"), caster out-of-slots → "Short rest", concentrating-while-
bloodied warning — deduped and severity-sorted. 6 unit tests.
- extended SuggestAction with shortRest + completeQuest; one shared dispatcher
(useSignalAction) used by both surfaces so behaviour can't drift.
- SignalsBell: an ambient bell + popover in the top bar, visible from every
screen, with a count badge, one-click actions, and per-signal/clear-all
dismiss. AssistantPage refactored onto the same buildSignals + dispatcher.
- the AI cards were already actionable (NpcGen → npcsRepo, EncounterTip → add
to encounter, Assistant encounter builder → combat).
Also fixed a pre-existing invalid-HTML bug: ConditionPicker rendered a <Check>
SVG inside <option> (React hydration error spam) → plain "✓" text.
Build + 277 unit tests green; bell verified live (popover, actions, no errors).

Completes the deployable Phase 1-3 chunk: the combat tracker now runs the math.
- condition-effects engine: declarative CONDITION_EFFECTS_5E/PF2E table +
deriveState(system, speed, conditions) → effective speed / advantage state /
incapacitation / pf2e status penalty. Tracker shows effect badges
("Speed 0", "Disadv. attacks", "−2 status"); pure + 10 unit tests.
- damage types: applyDamage(c, amount, type?) consults snapshotted monster
DamageDefenses (immune→0, resist→halve, vulnerable→double), back-compatible.
Monster add snapshots damageDefenses; tracker shows a type picker only when a
creature has typed defenses, and the log notes resisted/vulnerable amounts.
- concentration + death saves are surfaced as REMINDERS, never auto-rolled:
damaging a concentrating PC logs "roll a DC N Con save…"; a downed PC's turn
logs "make a death saving throw." The player rolls and resolves via the Drop
button / death-save pips they already own. (Per user: no auto dice rolls —
it removes the player from their character.)
Build + 271 unit tests green. Verified live: grapple → Speed 0 badge;
fire-immune creature shows the immune-labelled damage picker.

The Slice-0 vertical that proves the enforcement architecture end-to-end.
- kernel: castSpell (slot consumption + concentration set/replace, upcasting,
warlock pact slots), spendResource/regainResource, rollDeathSave — pure
functions returning Partial<Character> patches. 13 unit tests.
- applyRest now ends concentration on any rest (+ test).
- character sheet SpellcastingSection: per-spell Cast button, concentration
banner with Drop, concentration markers; ResourcesSection −/+ routed through
the kernel.
- player MyCharacterPanel: castable spell list + concentration banner, so a
seated player casts and it broadcasts via the existing playerPatch flow.
- live sync: partialCharacterDiffSchema carries concentration; GM applies it;
playerCharacterSchema mirrors slots/concentration/resources (PC-only) and the
player-facing AC now respects equippedArmor. Wire round-trip test added.
Verified live: casting decrements the right slot, switching concentration logs
"Concentration on X ends", banner + Drop render. Build + 258 tests green.

Lay the foundation for full rules enforcement: a new pure, testable
mechanics kernel (src/lib/mechanics/) that derives structured, enforceable
game data from the loosely-typed compendium, plus the first user-facing
payoff (accurate armor AC + spell mechanics on the sheet).
- normalizers: spell (5e + pf2e), armor, monster defenses → typed
SpellMechanics / ArmorMechanics / DamageDefenses, with memoized derivers
wrapping the existing lazy compendium loaders (no new assets). 11 unit tests.
- character schema: spell entries snapshot concentration/save/damage at
compendium-link time; new top-level `concentration` slot and structured
`equippedArmor` (additive, defaulted). Dexie v14 migration backfills.
- AC model: baseArmorClass now consults equippedArmor (heavy = flat, medium =
Dex-capped) and falls back to the old 10+Dex formula when unarmored. Threaded
through every AC call site; armor picker added to the sheet (5e).
- compendium "Add spell to character" snapshots real mechanics via the kernel.
Backward-compatible: un-enriched spells/characters behave exactly as before.
Build + 244 unit tests green; armor→AC verified live in preview.

- Pure geometry library src/lib/map/* (grid, distance 5e/pf2e/euclid, AoE
circle/cone/line/square, polygon rasterize + point-in-polygon, brush, fog set
algebra, player projection) with unit tests.
- Schema: map tokens gain size/kind/characterId/hp/conditions/gmOnly; maps gain
drawings/gridUnit(feet)/gridType/fogVersion + point/drawing sub-schemas. Dexie v8
additive migration; mapsRepo.get + transactional mutate.
- Editor split into a shared MapCanvas renderer + MapEditor tool state machine:
fog via brush/rectangle/polygon (+ size, reveal-all/hide-all), measurement
(system-aware distance in feet), AoE templates (circle/cone/line/square preview),
drawing annotations (freehand/line/arrow/rect/circle/text, GM-only), pings, and
richer tokens (NxN size, character link with live HP ring, condition dots, edit popover).
- Player-facing projection: toPlayerProjection strips GM-only content; PlayerMapView
renders it read-only with opaque fog; uiStore.activeMapId + 'Show to players'; the
player view now shows the live battle map. enemyStatus extracted to
src/lib/combat/playerProjection.ts (reused, and for Phase 18).
9 geometry unit tests; maps e2e covers upload→token→reveal-all→player projection.

The bare name/class/level form left new characters as shells (1 HP, all-10
abilities, no proficiencies). Now creation and level-up are guided and auto-populate.
- Hand-authored progression tables (no SRD class/slot data exists on disk):
src/lib/rules/{dnd5e,pf2e}/progression.ts — core classes' hit die/HP, key
abilities, save & perception proficiencies, trained-skill counts, caster type;
5e full/half/pact spell-slot tables, pf2e slot approximation; ASI/boost/skill
schedules.
- src/lib/rules/progression.ts: getClassDefs/getClassDef, classSkillChoices/Count,
buildCharacter() (HP from hit die + CON over levels, trained saves/skills, spell
slots + ability), planLevelUp() (HP gain, new slots, ASI/boost/skill choices),
applyIncreases/bumpRank. Pure + 12 unit tests.
- Multi-step CreationWizard (Basics → Abilities → Skills → Review) replaces the
old form; pulls PF2e ancestry HP/speed from the bestiary; review previews HP/AC/
saves/skills/slots; lands on a ready-to-play sheet.
- LevelUpModal reworked into a guided wizard: auto HP + spell slots, presents the
level's actual choices (5e ASI/feat, pf2e ability boosts + skill increase) and
applies them; keeps the strategic build-route advisor.
e2e helper drives the wizard; updated 7 specs to the new flow; new character-wizard
spec asserts a complete level-3 Wizard (HP 17, slots 4xL1 2xL2).

- Level-up build-route advisor (src/features/characters/sheet/LevelUpAdvisor.tsx +
useLevelUpAdvisor): ~4 system-aware routes plus a custom one; choosing a route
expands it into concrete next-level steps. AI when configured, deterministic
fallback (src/lib/assistant/levelup.ts) otherwise. Embedded in the existing
HP-only LevelUpModal, which stays primary.
- Level-up prompts/schemas added to prompts.ts (buildRoutes/buildSteps), each
leading with the system constraint + class + next level.
- Campaign Insights section on the Assistant page renders deterministic themes,
with an optional 'ask the assistant to expand' affordance when AI is on.
levelup + prompt unit tests (4 routes both systems, system vocabulary, custom
route); e2e for the deterministic route→steps flow and the insights section.

- src/lib/assistant/prompts.ts: balanceSuggestionSchema + buildBalancePrompt
(system message leads with the grounding constraint; restricts choices to the
provided compendium candidates).
- useEncounterAdvisor hook: builds context → picks system-correct candidates →
asks the LLM (when configured) for a structured pick, validates + filters names
to the candidate set, else falls back to the deterministic buildSuggestedEncounter.
Apply adds the creatures transactionally via encountersRepo.mutate.
- EncounterTipCard in the combat tracker: leads with the detected difficulty
tendency (or the current difficulty), offers a one-click grounded suggestion
(AI or deterministic) with propose→confirm Apply.
prompts unit tests + e2e for both the deterministic apply flow and the AI path
(stubbed provider); the AI test also confirms candidate-grounding (only
shortlisted creatures survive).

- src/lib/assistant/context.ts: buildCampaignContext() assembles a system-aware
snapshot led by an explicit systemConstraint (anti cross-system hallucination),
party, recent encounters with computed difficulty, quest/note summaries.
pickCreatureCandidates() pulls level/CR-appropriate creatures from the correct
bestiary so LLM tips are grounded in real data.
- src/lib/assistant/patterns.ts: difficultyTendency() + detectThemes() classify
whether the DM's encounters skew too easy/hard, rating each fight against its
party-level snapshot.
- Encounter schema gains optional partyLevelsSnapshot + outcome (Dexie v7, additive).
Combat tracker snapshots PC levels at start and rates difficulty against them.
17 assistant unit tests (context + patterns).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Bring-your-own-key assistant config in a dedicated persisted store
(src/stores/assistantStore.ts); partialize drops the key from localStorage
when 'remember' is off. Key lives in localStorage only, so it's auto-excluded
from Dexie backups.
- Provider-agnostic LLM client (src/lib/llm) over fetch, no SDK: Anthropic
Messages + OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions (covers OpenAI/OpenRouter/
Ollama/LM Studio via custom base URL). Structured JSON output parsed +
Zod-validated; timeouts; typed error kinds; key never leaked in errors.
- Settings 'Assistant (AI)' section with provider/model/baseUrl/key, remember
+ enabled toggles, and Test connection.
- CSP connect-src widened to any https + localhost for the BYO endpoint.
10 client unit tests; settings e2e asserts config persists and the key is
never present in an exported backup.

- Deterministic advisors (src/lib/assistant): party resources (downed/bloodied/
spent slots/rest nudges), session prep (dangling [[wiki links]], active quests,
empty journal), live combat hints (turn, downed combatants) — pure + tested
- Data-driven encounter builder: greedily assembles level/CR-appropriate monsters
to a target difficulty via the Phase-3 budget; one click builds + opens combat
- Assistant page: suggestion cards with one-click actions (goto, long rest,
create note); wired into routes, dashboard, command palette
- 8 advisor/builder unit tests + assistant e2e
Conversational LLM layer intentionally deferred (no provider/key in this env);
the deterministic advisor is the offline default per the plan.

- Homebrew entity (monster/spell/item/feat/condition) — Dexie v6, repo, hook,
cascade-deleted with campaign
- Homebrew editor page: per-kind fields + description, create/edit/delete
- Compendium merges campaign homebrew of the matching kind (HB badge, generic
HomebrewDetail) with the same cross-links (add monster->combat, spell/item->character)
- Content packs: export/import homebrew as JSON (validated, ids reassigned)
- System extensibility documented via the existing RulesSystem registry seam
- Fix: card editors (homebrew/npc/quest/note) debounce-save the FULL snapshot, not
partial patches — editing two fields fast no longer drops an edit
New homebrew e2e + cascade test coverage.

- Player View (/play): read-only projector screen — party HP bars + conditions,
active-encounter initiative with current turn; enemy HP hidden behind a
Healthy/Bloodied/Down status band; Fullscreen button
- SyncAdapter seam (src/lib/sync): local-first default via Dexie liveQuery;
documents where a future networked (WebSocket/CRDT) backend plugs in
- Dashboard + routes get a Player View entry
- Robustness: encountersRepo.mutate() does transactional read-modify-write so
rapid combat mutations can't overwrite each other (old C19 race); tracker uses it
New player-view e2e. Networked multiplayer backend intentionally deferred.

- Dice notation: exploding (Nd6!) and reroll-below (Nd6r2), capped + tested
- Degrees of success / roll-vs-DC (PF2e ±10 + nat 20/1 steps; 5e crit on nat 20/1)
- Global roll tray (shared store + RollTray in layout) with animated result + degree
- Roll from the character sheet: skills, saves, and attack to-hit/damage are
clickable and post to the tray + history (rollAndShow/rollCheck helpers)
- Saved roll macros per campaign (persisted) on the Dice page
10 new unit tests (notation explode/reroll, degrees), interactive-dice e2e.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Condition durations + auto-expiry: timed conditions tick down on the affected
combatant's turn and drop at 0 (engine tickConditions; UI rounds field + (Nr) chip)
- Initiative: Roll-all (d20 + per-combatant bonus, re-sort anchored) + group/quantity add
- Combat log: per-round event feed (turns, round changes, damage/heal, expiries,
removals) + in-memory Undo of the last change
- Encounter difficulty budget: 5e XP thresholds + PF2e level budget (pure lib +
tests); live difficulty/XP-award readout from monster combatants vs the party
- Combatants carry initBonus + cr/level; compendium add-to-combat passes them
18 new unit tests (durations, applyInitiatives, budget), new combat-depth e2e.

(spells, creatures, feats, equipment, weapons, armor, ancestries, heritages,
backgrounds, archetypes, actions, conditions, deities) via scripts/fetch_pf2e.ts
- Registry-driven compendium: system toggle + per-category nav + generic filters
- 5e expanded: weapons, armor, feats, conditions added alongside spells/monsters/items
- PF2e data served as static assets (fetched, not bundled) for fast native parse
- Cross-links: add spell->spellbook / item->inventory to a campaign character;
add monster/creature -> open encounter
- Condition tooltips in combat sourced from the conditions glossary
- Tests: registry filter unit tests, compendium e2e (browse + cross-link)
