+# proto23 mod — working notes for Claude
+
+## What this is
+
+A mod for a single-file idle RPG. The game is `index.html`: 837 KB, ~14,800
+lines, **not minified**, every global declared with `var` at top level, no
+strict mode. That is what makes the mod possible.
+
+`mod.js` is the entire mod, loaded by one appended script tag at the very
+bottom of `index.html`:
+
+```html
+<!-- local mod: remove this line to disable -->
+<script src="mod.js"></script>
+```
+
+Because it loads last and shares global scope, it can read and wrap anything
+the game defines. That single tag is the **only** change to `index.html` —
+keep it that way, so `git checkout index.html` is always a clean undo.
+
+`MOD-NOTES.md` is the full design record, section by section, with the
+reasoning behind each decision and what was tested. Read the relevant section
+before changing anything in that area.
+
+## How to change things
+
+Wrap, don't edit. The pattern used throughout:
+
+```js
+var MOD_thing_original = thing;
+thing = function () {
+  var r = MOD_thing_original.apply(this, arguments);
+  /* extra behaviour */
+  return r;                      // always preserve the return value
+};
+```
+
+Preserving the return matters: `allbuff` does `let dm = skl.fgt.use()` and
+adds the result to stats, so a wrapper that swallows a return silently
+changes the game's math.
+
+## Save format constraints — read before adding content
+
+The game's save/load is positional in places, which means some things are
+append-only. Getting this wrong corrupts existing saves.
+
+- **Milestone "granted" flags are stored by array index.** Milestones must be
+  appended, never inserted or reordered, and their levels must stay ascending.
+  `tests/audit.mjs` checks this.
+- **Skill `exp` and `p` are stored positionally** over `for..in skl`. New
+  skills go at the **end** of `skl`, which happens naturally since `mod.js`
+  runs after the game script.
+- **Actions are stored by id**, so those are safe to add anywhere.
+- On load, milestones re-fire **before** `p` is restored. So a perk must never
+  do `sk.p += 0.1` — the restore would wipe it. Use a declarative flag on the
+  milestone (`xpBonus`, `sectionXp`) read at point of use instead.
+- `you.res` and `you.mods` are saved. Any mutation of them needs delta
+  tracking in `global.flags` or it compounds on every load. See
+  `MOD_applyMoneyDrops` for the pattern.
+
+## The bottom bar
+
+Buttons added to `dom.sl` must match the game's own: plain `inline`, `padding:3px`,
+no `display:inline-block`. An inline-block forces the line box to grow, which
+made the fixed bar 32px instead of 24px and covered the bottom of the panel
+above it. The bar is `position:fixed`, so any height it gains eats game screen.
+
+## DOM constraints in the skill panel
+
+The game's per-second updater reads fixed child indices **within** each skill
+row: `children[0]`, `children[1]`, `children[2].children[0]`. So:
+
+- `dom.skcon.children[m]` must stay aligned with `you.skls[m]`.
+- Never insert an element as a row's first child. Section headers are appended
+  **last** with `order:-1; flex:0 0 100%` — `.skwmmc` is `display:flex`, so
+  that puts them visually first without shifting indices.
+
+## Balance
+
+Enemy dials on `MOD_ENEMY`, live in the browser console:
+
+```js
+kill: 8, die: 20, hit: 0.45, margin: 1.5,
+hpSpread: 0.6, atkSpread: 0.3, bossKill: 2.0, bossDie: 0.7, armor: 1.0
+```
+
+**The skill exp curve is the author's below level 10, and the mod's above.**
+The base game's `expnext = 50 + (lvl+1)^log(9*lvl+1)` is super-exponential —
+109→110 alone costs ~1.2e14 xp, so the cap ladder is unclimbable by ~10¹³. But
+the author only designed skills up to 15 (his 22 perk ladders end between 1 and
+15, median 10), and below that his curve is fine. So section 19 is in two parts:
+
+```js
+MOD_XP = { vanillaTo: 10, total, ratio }   // levels < 10: HIS formula, exactly
+                                           // from 10: his level-9 cost * ratio^n
+```
+
+`ratio` (~1.029) is **solved**, not chosen: it is whatever makes 0→110 cost the
+same wall-clock time the old `50 * 1.106^lvl` curve took at its 2x multiplier.
+The end is exactly as far away; the time is spread evenly instead of the old
+curve's "cap 60 in under an hour, then months on the last twenty levels".
+
+- **Why 10 and not 15.** His level 15 alone costs 823k; 95 more levels even at
+  that flat price is 78M xp, 2.5x the whole budget. 10 is the highest start that
+  still leaves a rising ramp. `setXpCurve({vanillaTo})` accepts 0-12.
+- **The curve is installed twice — at section 19 and at the very END of mod.js.**
+  It used to run once, and every skill created later kept the author's curve:
+  section 29's six masteries cost 7,474,050 xp at level 20 instead of 375, so
+  their ladders to 110 stopped climbing at ~20. Keep the final call last.
+- **The defaults are the original's:** `MOD.skill_xp_mult` 1 (was 2) and
+  `MOD_MONEY.chance` 0 (was 0.15 — the author only turns the coin drop on through
+  the Coin Ring and Ring of Greed, and a 15% base made both rounding errors).
+  Both are settings boxes persisted in localStorage, so a value the player set
+  still wins.
+
+`tests/vanilla.mjs` holds all of this against the author's own page — it blocks
+`mod.js` so the one script tag loads nothing — and asserts every level below 10
+costs exactly what HIS `expnext` returns, not a reimplementation of it.
+
+**Pacing presets (section 45)**: `setPacing('original' | 'fast')`. `fast` is the
+pre-4.2 pacing exactly — `MOD_XP.fixedRatio` 1.106 with `vanillaTo` 0 makes every
+level cost `50 * 1.106^lvl`, plus 2x exp and a 15% coin drop. The curve is not
+persisted on its own, so the chosen preset is stored (`p23_mod_pacing`) and its
+curve re-applied at load; the exp and coin boxes persist on their own keys.
+Since v4.6 each preset also sets Fights (`original` / `scaled`), which persists on
+`p23_mod_fights`. Anything else reads `custom`. `tests/pacing.mjs` checks each
+preset is exact.
+
+The full ladder 10/15/20/30/40/50/60/75/90/110 is genuinely reachable, so
+**model the player AT the cap** — that is what the tests do.
+
+### Fights: Original by default, Scaled on request (section 47, v4.6)
+
+At equal progression the original's opening route is nearly free: median 1.3
+swings to kill and ~20,000 to die, because its creatures are fixed and you
+out-level them. The mod's enemy model (section 8) exists to remove that and
+holds every fight near 8.8 / 22.
+
+**`MOD_FIGHTS.mode` chooses.** On `original`, the default, `MOD_scaleEnemy`
+returns at once for any spawn whose `global.current_z` is one of the author's
+areas, and `MOD_applyAreaLevels()` puts his level ranges back (section 8 keeps
+both: `pop[i]._modLv0` his, `_modLvS` the x1.4). On `scaled` it is section 8
+everywhere, as before 4.6.
+
+- **"The author's areas" is `area[k]._modAuthor`**, set on every area that exists
+  when section 8 starts, before the mod adds any. Areas are not saved, so marking
+  the object is safe. The mod's own — Hollow, Spire, Vigil, the ten rank duels —
+  are always scaled: there is no original to match, and the rank ladder needs
+  `_modKillT`.
+- **The value model reads `_modLvS` whatever the mode**, so an item's price does
+  not change when the setting does.
+- **Raw Meat follows the mode**: his 6% on Original (`_modChance0`), 18% on
+  Scaled. The raise only ever made up for the scaled kill times, and
+  `MOD_MEAT.killSecOriginal` (5s) is the matching assumption.
+- **Balance scripts measure section 8, so they call `setFights('scaled')` first**
+  — allareas, earlybal, combat, fightsmoke, fullbal, targets, baseline and
+  vanilla's gap table. A new script that measures the model must too, or on the
+  default it measures the author's creatures and reports nonsense.
+- `tests/fights.mjs` holds Original against his page: all 70 spawns in his areas
+  identical stat for stat (random() seeded the same on both sides), and every
+  step of his route past the tutorial winnable at arrival. His own game loses
+  Tutorial fight 1 at skill 0, and so does Original — that is his design.
+
+An earlier comparison showed the original as a wall of unwinnable fights. That
+was the old skill curve: it handed the original's player far lower skills for
+the same xp. Compare at equal skill levels, which the matched curve now gives.
+
+### The enemy model, and why it looks the way it does
+
+`dmg_calc` is **subtractive in both directions**: an attack does
+`attacker.str - defender.str` (plus weapon, plus 1, plus crits). The defender's
+STR *is* their armour. Four consequences, all load-bearing:
+
+* **Never scale enemy `strm`.** Raising it raises offence and armour together,
+  and once armour passes the attacker's STR the damage does not get small, it
+  clamps to **zero**. `MOD_ENEMY.armor` exists so this stays visible; leave it
+  at 1. The same applies to `aglm`, which is the denominator of `hit_calc(1)`.
+* **Never judge a fight by a stat ratio.** `enemyHP/playerSTR` and
+  `playerHP/enemySTR` both ignore the subtraction and read several times off.
+  That proxy is what hid a tutorial fight needing 63,000 swings and a whole
+  ladder of `kill 1 / die 1`. Measure through `dmg_calc` and `hit_calc`.
+* **Nothing is replicated, everything is measured.** The base game's defence
+  term goes *negative* at high skill levels (`shdc` at 110 makes its last
+  multiplier −12.3, so your defence is added to the enemy's damage), and it is
+  ill-conditioned besides. Each spawn runs the real `dmg_calc` a few times in
+  both directions inside `MOD_probe` — which parks `giveSkExp`, the crit flag
+  and the DOM node it jiggles — and scales against what actually came out.
+* **The dials are two-sided.** Flooring every multiplier at 1 so nothing is
+  weaker than vanilla leaves pockets the base game itself made unwinnable.
+
+Scaling is anchored to the player's power at spawn, not fitted to a level,
+because within tier 0 alone the player goes from STR 1 to STR ~265. Variety
+comes from the area's level band and each creature's own `stat_p`, and
+`margin` guarantees `kill < die` however those compound.
+
+Damage is heavy-tailed at the top of the ladder: crit rate reaches 33% and a
+crit is about 8x a normal swing, so crits carry roughly three quarters of all
+damage. `MOD_meanDamage` therefore strata on the crit roll rather than taking a
+plain sample mean — the variance of a plain mean is almost entirely "how many
+crits landed", and enemy HP comes straight off that number. `fightsmoke` fights
+nine times per area and reports a median for the same reason.
+
+**Section 46 corrects three lines of the author's combat and death code, and
+the luck fix lives INSIDE `MOD_dmg_calc_original`.** That variable is rebound to a
+version that applies his luck crit multiplier (capped at 50% from luck,
+`MOD_LUCK_CAP`) and floors the Shield Mastery defence bracket at zero. Section 8's
+probe and its incoming-damage wrapper both call through the variable, so enemies
+are sized against the fixed player. **Anything that samples your damage must go
+through `dmg_calc` or `MOD_dmg_calc_original`, never a reference captured before
+section 46**, or it measures a player without luck. `MOD_critRate(att, stt)`
+includes the luck bonus. The bonus rides on `you.mods.crflt` for one call and is
+restored to its exact prior value — `crflt` is saved, and add-then-subtract
+would leave float residue. `tests/basefixes.mjs` holds all three.
+
+**Section 51 is a fourth: every creature held ONE weapon.** `Creature` starts with
+`eqp = [eqp.dummy, eqp.dummy]` and the author wrote 32 per-creature `aff`/`cls`
+lines straight onto it, so all 48 carried the last writer's, and the player's bare
+fists (the same object) leak `lvl/4` and `lvl/5` into every creature's damage.
+Each creature now owns its slots, with his values read back from his source; the
+fists stay the original object. `tests/creaturegear.mjs` holds it. A creature
+built later by the mod gets the same treatment only if it exists when section 51
+runs.
+
+**Any script that samples `dmg_calc` must park `giveSkExp` first** (`quiet()` in
+the test scripts, `MOD_probe` in the mod). `dmg_calc` grants skill exp, so
+sampling it levels the player mid-measurement.
+
+**`tests/baselines/balance.json` is committed on purpose.** `tests/baseline.mjs`
+records the curve, the dials, realm and tribulation costs, prices and every
+area's per-spawn fight targets, and fails on any difference. When a change is
+MEANT to move balance, run `UPDATE=1 PORT=8080 node tests/baseline.mjs` and
+commit the file with the change — the diff is the review.
+
+Run `./tests/run.sh earlybal combat fightsmoke` after any balance change,
+`allareas` (all 3,720 matchups: every area x every creature x every tier x
+four skill builds, the fourth with every section folded) before calling one finished, and `capreach` after touching the curve or any xp rate.
+What matters:
+
+- **`kill < die` at every matchup** — every balance script fails on this.
+- **`whiff%` at 0** — anything above means damage is being eaten.
+- `epow` on `MOD_TIERS` no longer feeds difficulty (the player anchor replaced
+  it) but `modCaps()` and the tests still read it. Tests select a tier by
+  **index** (`setTier(9)`), not by cap number.
+
+### Uncertainty: `tests/lib/stats.mjs`
+
+Every balance number here is a sample mean of something heavy-tailed, so a
+point estimate cannot say whether a gap is real. `summarize()` gives a 95% CI,
+`withinBand(samples, target, tolPct)` asks the question that usually matters —
+is it *practically* on target — and `fightsmoke` and `targets.mjs` both use it.
+
+- **Student's t, not z.** `fightsmoke` fights nine times per area; z at n=9 is
+  ~15% too narrow. Between table rows `tCrit95` takes the lower-df (wider)
+  value, never the narrower.
+- **Compare against the per-spawn target, never the dial.** `MOD_ENEMY.kill` is
+  the centre of a distribution: `killT = kill * band^hpSpread * creatureShape()`,
+  clamped. A basement rat is legitimately a five-swing kill. Use `_modKillT` /
+  `_modDieT`, which `MOD_scaleEnemy` leaves on the spawn.
+- **Fold in the hit rate.** The targets count swings *including misses*, while
+  `abl.default.f` returns damage per landed hit and never rolls to-hit. Miss
+  this and every ratio comes back multiplied by `MOD_ENEMY.hit` — a die ratio of
+  exactly 0.45 is the tell.
+- **Equivalence, not significance.** At n=45 the model tracks its targets to
+  ±0.1%, so "does the CI contain the target" fails on a 1% quantisation bias
+  that means nothing in play. `targets.mjs` uses a ±5% band.
+- **An empty stratum is topped up, never dropped.** Every stratified estimator
+  (mod.js `MOD_meanDamage` and the five test copies) used to fall back to a plain
+  mean when n swings rolled no crit. That does not average the crits badly — it
+  DROPS them, and at cap 30 they are 30% of all damage. In the mod it sized ~5%
+  of spawns ~20% weak (Tallyman p5 kill/target 0.795 → 0.968 after); in
+  `allareas` it read a fight ~40% long 0.15% of the time, which across 2,790
+  matchups intermittently failed the rank duels, whose margin was only 1.25
+  (now `MOD_RANK_MARGIN` 1.4, since v4.3).
+  They now keep sampling (up to 8n) until both strata show.
+- And the crit stratification the section above demands applies here too: a
+  plain sample mean put two of forty-five rank-duel spawns the wrong side of
+  `kill < die` on noise alone.
+
+### The body maximums: write the multiplier, not the total — FIXED
+
+`hpTrack` (sections 9/10) used to **assign** `you.hpmax` at the end of the
+`allbuff` wrapper. The assignment did not survive: `stat_r` recomputes hpmax as
+`(hp_r + hpa) * hpm * hpe`, and the tick, `fght`, `update_d` and `allbuff`
+itself all call it constantly. Measured on a cap-60 character, one `stat_r()`
+took hpmax from **1,492,947 to 72,377** — a 20x collapse — and sampling every
+137ms across six seconds of real play found the low number in all 43 samples.
+The HP bar agreed: `hp: 2,438/10,050`.
+
+Every balance script reads `you.hpmax` in the instant after `allbuff` while the
+assignment still stands, and so does `MOD_scaleEnemy` when it sizes `_modDmg`.
+So the enemy's damage was built for a character with ~18x the health the
+character actually had, and all 2,790 `allareas` matchups were validating
+against a number the player never held.
+
+It now writes `you.hpm`, which IS an input to `stat_r` and therefore survives.
+Three things that took a correction each:
+
+- **`hpm` is saved** (`hpm:you.hpm` in the save object), so the mod's factor is
+  tracked in `global.flags.mod_hpm` and divided back out before re-applying —
+  the same delta pairing `MOD_applyMoneyDrops` uses, and for the same reason
+  `you.res` once compounded on every load.
+- **The recovered base is floored at 1.** Anything that resets `hpm` without
+  clearing the flag — a test harness rebuilding the player, a new game keeping
+  flags — otherwise recovers `1/18.86` and max HP collapses. Flooring is an
+  invariant, not a guess: only milestones touch `hpm`, and they add. Without
+  it `allareas` reported the player at **12 max HP** and six rank duels flipped
+  to `kill > die`.
+- **`Math.ceil`, not `Math.round`** — `stat_r` ceils, and the two have to agree
+  to the unit or this call and the next report max HP one apart.
+
+`stat_r()` is deliberately **not** called from inside the wrapper: the mod's
+skill `use()` calls add straight into `you.str` and friends, and `stat_r` would
+recompute those from `(r + a) * m * e` and wipe them. Setting `hpmax` by hand
+alongside `hpm` keeps the current call right and lets the next `stat_r` reach
+the same number on its own. `tests/targets.mjs` checks all of it, and fails
+against the old behaviour.
+
+**The same bug was still in the realm code**, found while extending it (v4.0).
+Section 28 raised max HP *and max energy* by assigning `you.hpmax`/`you.satmax`,
+and `stat_r` recomputes **both**:
+
+```js
+hpmax  = ceil((hp_r  + hpa ) * hpm  * hpe )
+satmax = ceil((sat_r + sata) * satm * sate)
+```
+
+Measured on a realm-10 character: `hpmax` 332 after `allbuff` and **39** after
+one `stat_r`; `satmax` 1700, then **200**. The ×8.5 the top realm advertised
+lasted one call, so ten realms of body were decoration.
+
+**Nothing writes `hpm` or `satm` any more.** Two contributors wanted the same two
+fields, and two delta-trackers on one field cannot coexist — each recovers its
+base by dividing out *its own* factor and finds the other's sitting inside that
+base. So contributors publish a factor to **`MOD_BODY`** and `MOD_applyBody()`
+writes the product, once, with one delta flag per axis (`mod_hpm`, `mod_satm`).
+
+- To add a contributor: give it a key on `MOD_BODY.hp` / `MOD_BODY.sat`, set that
+  key **every call** for `you` — to 1 when it does not apply, or last call's
+  factor lingers — and never touch `hpm`, `satm`, `hpmax` or `satmax` yourself.
+- `MOD_applyBody()` is **idempotent**, which is what lets more than one wrapper
+  call it. Sections 28 and 38 both do. `tests/cultivation.mjs` asserts it.
+- `satm` is saved (`satm:you.satm`) exactly like `hpm`, so it needs the delta
+  pairing for the same reason `you.res` did.
+- The recovered base is floored at 1 on both axes, for the reason above.
+
+Sections 6, 7 and 9 once each had an `allbuff` wrapper of their own (the section
+9 one assigned `you.hpmax` directly), but section 10 re-anchors on
+`MOD_allbuff_original`, so none of them ever ran after load. They were removed in
+v4.3. `tests/polish.mjs` asserts the live chain: the game's own `allbuff` runs
+once per call, and a mod skill's `use()` once.
+
+## How big numbers are written (section 40)
+
+The mod's numbers are enormous next to the original's, which READS like a balance
+problem but is not one — section 8 scales enemies to the player, so a fight is
+the same length at STR 50 or 5,000,000. A `Number format` settings row (and
+`setNumberFormat()`) picks `game` / `short` / `sci` / `myriad`, default `short`.
+
+- **Up to 9,999 every mode prints exactly what the original prints** — commas
+  where he used `format3`, bare where he used `Math.round`. The threshold is his:
+  `printDamageNumber` does `if(ddmg>9999) formatw(ddmg);` and **discards the
+  result**, so his damage log never compacted anything. The wrapper hands it an
+  already-formatted string, which makes his `>9999` test false (NaN).
+- `myriad` (万 10⁴, 亿 10⁸ …) is his notation: `m_update` draws the wallet with a
+  10⁸ coin, `㊧`, over 10⁴ groups.
+- `game` mode is the original byte for byte, bugs included — past 10²¹ his
+  `format3` inserts commas into exponential notation (`7,.7e,+47`).
+- Every site is wrapped, not replaced: `formatw`, `update_db`, `update_m`, the
+  three bars, `dom.d6.update` (after section 34's gold held-rank paint, which it
+  leaves alone), `m_update`, `printDamageNumber`. Choose decimals AFTER rounding
+  (`MOD_sigFig`) or 99,996 prints as "100.0K".
+
+## The screen: the rank line, the skill panel, and What next (sections 42-43)
+
+- **The player panel is a fixed 310px box and it is full** (307px used). Never
+  give it a new line. The realm lives at the end of the rank line (`dom.d6`),
+  nowrap + ellipsis, as ONE persistent span re-appended after each
+  `dom.d6.update` rewrite (so its tooltip listeners survive). At a bottleneck the
+  span is the breakthrough button and calls `MOD_breakthrough` unchanged.
+- **A tooltip whose text is a function needs `true` as addDesc's sixth
+  argument** — `addDesc(el, null, 2, title, fn, true)`. Without it the game
+  prints the function's source: the realm on the rank line showed a page of code
+  until v4.7. `tests/tooltips.mjs` renders all ~1,370 tooltips and fails on code
+  or `undefined`/`NaN`.
+- **ASCII only on that line.** The game's font is MS Gothic; where it is missing,
+  a symbol like ▲ or ⚠ falls back to a font with a taller line box — measured,
+  ▲ grew the line 1px and ⚠ 6px, pushing the panel past 310px. `½` is safe.
+  `tests/polish.mjs` asserts the longest possible line keeps panel height.
+- **The skill panel's per-second updater writes only what changed** (v4.6),
+  through `MOD_setIfChanged`, and skips hidden rows. An innerHTML write
+  re-parses and dirties layout even with identical text; the game's version
+  wrote three cells on every row every second (329 DOM changes a pass at 110
+  rows, 3.8ms on WebKit; now 2 changes and 0.3ms).
+- **The skill panel's per-second updater is the mod's now.** The game's captures
+  `sklsize` once and never updates it, so after the list first grows it rebuilt
+  every row every second forever (265 redraws in 5s at 53 rows), and it never
+  noticed a shrink. `MOD_skillUpdater` replaces it in the same `timers.sklupdate`
+  slot the game clears on close, keeps the row update line for line, and redraws
+  on any change of length.
+- Rarity filter and sort go through section 13's hide branch and
+  `MOD_skillCmp`, like everything else in that panel.
+- **`dom.ch_1` is not the first line of a screen.** `chs()` reassigns it on every
+  call, so it holds the LAST line drawn. To test which screen is up, read
+  `dom.ctr_2.children[0]`.
+- **What next** (`MOD_whatNext`, wiki page `next`, console `modNext()`) calls the
+  same gate each system uses — `MOD_tierFlag`, `MOD_atBottleneck`,
+  `MOD_hollowCleared`, the crafting tiers' `gate()` — and never restates a
+  threshold. A new progression track should add a line there.
+
+## Content gating
+
+- The three added areas (Sunken Hollow / Ashen Spire / Long Vigil) are hidden
+  until `global.flags.trne4e1` — golem arena IV cleared, the base game's last
+  normal area — and then open in order on the same kill counts that drive their
+  caps. `tests/areagate.mjs` guards this.
+- **The catacombs are reachable now** (section 30). All 26 rooms are the
+  author's; the mod adds only the Village Center entrance, which is where their
+  own exit already led. Gated on `mod_t_deep` **for a reason**: entering sets
+  `mod_t_cata`, the cap-40 rung, so an ungated door would hand a fresh character
+  cap 40 straight out of the tutorial, past the forest's 20 and the deep
+  forest's 30. Any new area that sets a tier flag needs the same care.
+- **The Pill Tower** is `chss.mod_pltwr`, deliberately not `chss.pltwr1` — the
+  author wrote that choice on the Village Center and commented it out, and the
+  two must not collide if they ever finish theirs.
+- `chs(txt, true, ...)` calls `clr_chs()` and wipes everything already drawn for
+  that location. Only the *first* line of an `sl()` may pass `true`; every later
+  line, including greyed-out hints, must pass `false`.
+
+## Cultivation
+
+Realms are **derived from `MOD_RANK_AT`** — the same thresholds title ranks use
+— so realm N is the level that earns a rank N title. Never restate the levels;
+retuning the ranks must move the realms with them. `tests/cultivation.mjs`
+asserts the alignment.
+
+**Every breakthrough pill must have a source.** The ladder shipped once with
+none of them obtainable — the items existed and nothing gave, dropped or sold
+them, so realms were console-only. Realm 1 comes from the instructor at the Qi
+unlock, 2-5 from `vendor.pha1` (the Herbalist), 6-10 from the dojo's
+continuation rungs. `tests/cultivation.mjs` fails if any realm's pill is
+orphaned. Realm 1 must not come from the marketplace: that is gated behind the
+Paper Boy at 40% a visit, and realm 1 opens long before it.
+
+Realms live in `global.flags.mod_realm` and the bonus is applied **in
+`allbuff`** — never written into `you.stra`/`strm`, or it would compound on
+every load. Reaching a Qi Circulation level does not advance the realm; it opens
+a bottleneck that costs a breakthrough pill and can fail.
+
+**The wall is sized to the climb (v4.6).** `MOD_realmClimbSec(n)` is the
+Circulate Qi time from realm n−1's threshold to n's on the live curve.
+`MOD_insightNeed(n)` is `wallShare` (5%) of that at the meditation rate —
+never below the old 1, 3, 5 … floor or the wall below it. `MOD_secludeFull(n)` is
+the seclusion that earns that insight on average (floor 900s), and
+`MOD_devMinutes(n)` equals it (floor 720). Never restate these as numbers: they
+move with the curve and the ladder. Meditation grants insight **only at a wall**
+— on the way up the same Circulate Qi that climbed the level used to pay for
+every wall long before it. `tests/road.mjs` prints the table.
+
+**The Qi Settling Pill costs the breakthrough pill of the realm at the wall**
+(`MOD_settlePrice`, section 48, never under 5,200), through a getter on its
+Herbalist listing plus a per-tick reprice of rows already stocked — vendor stock
+keeps its own copy of the price from restock time.
+
+**Every price the ladder requires is held by `tests/econ.mjs`** to 10% of the
+climb it gates, in hours of the best income open at that tier (fighting each
+area through `dmg_calc`, gathering each node), on the Original preset. The Pill
+Tower's realm 8-10 pills were cut to pass it when the coin drop went to 0.
+
+Elemental techniques are a **proc inside a wrapped `you.battle_ai`**, because
+combat is automatic and there is no ability picker. They use `stt: 2` so they
+route through the INT branch of `dmg_calc`. The wrapper must keep swallowing
+errors and falling through to the ordinary attack — a bug in a proc must never
+cost a swing.
+
+**A skill created after section 10/11 is invisible to their maps.** Register it:
+`MOD_KEY_BY_ID[sk.id] = key` (cap system) and
+`MOD_PARENT_OF[key] = MOD_PARENT_KEY[MOD_sectionOf(sk)]` (panel grouping).
+Nothing errors if you forget — the skill just silently loses its cap and its
+section.
+
+## The dojo
+
+`chss.t3.sl` is a long `else` chain with several one-time screens inside it —
+the first skillbook choice, the accessory gift, the named-manual choice — plus
+a **"Level Advancement"** ladder drawn by an anonymous handler nested inside it.
+Read all of it before adding anything: a first attempt at extending the dojo
+missed both Level Advancement and the second grade of skillbook that already
+existed.
+
+Section 27 continues that ladder from 35 to 110 in fives, as its own lobby entry
+gated on `dj1rw6` (the nested handler cannot be appended to). Spirit pills are
+sized against `4*lvl^3 + lvl^2`, the character exp curve — a level at 110 costs
+5.3M, so the base game's best pill is worth 0.3% of one.
+
+## Titles
+
+Rank (`rar`) runs **1-10 and is derived from the level that earns the title**
+(`MOD_RANK_AT`), never hand-assigned — the base game gave rank 3 at skill level
+8. Every skill grants five titles, at levels 25/50/75/90/110, folded into the
+milestone already at that level (a second milestone at the same level is a
+duplicate the save cannot tell apart by index).
+
+- A title's exp bonus writes to `skl.<x>.p`, which **is saved and is restored
+  after milestones fire**. Never set it from milestone code; it is reconciled on
+  the tick against `global.flags.mod_ttlxp`, like section 13 does for `you.res`.
+- Colours come from `MOD_RANK_COLOUR` (ten ranks). The game's own rank 7
+  tooltip branch **throws** — it sets `this.dl`, undefined in a type 5 call —
+  so `dscr` is wrapped to park the rank at 1 (a branch-less value) and paint
+  the label afterwards. Do not remove that wrapper.
+- Only the **worn** title applies, until renown level N makes rank ≤ N passive.
+  Base-game `talent`s are a separate, already-permanent mechanism — don't
+  conflate them.
+
+### How a title finds its group
+
+`MOD_TITLE_SKILL` attributes a title to a skill in four passes, each derived
+from something already stated — never a per-title table:
+
+1. `MOD_SKILL_TITLES` — the generated five per skill know their own skill.
+2. `MOD_FLAGSHIP` — section 17 already pairs the skill with the title it
+   grants. Read the pairing; the milestone closure captures the row in a
+   variable, so pass 3's source scan cannot see a literal to match.
+3. Scanning each milestone's `f` source for a `giveTitle(ttl.x)` /
+   `MOD_title('x')` literal.
+4. **The author's numbered tiers**, keyed `<skill><n>` — `tghs1/2/3`,
+   `srd3/srd4`, `dth4`, `rtr1`, `axc3`. Most are granted by nothing at all, so
+   pass 3 cannot see them. **The trailing digit is load-bearing**: without it
+   the stem of `ttl.thr` ("Thrasher", for smashing the dojo's equipment) is
+   `thr`, which is `skl.thr`, Throwing. Only the numbered convention is safe to
+   read this way, and an ambiguous stem prefix is left alone.
+
+What no skill claims is bucketed by the same digit-stripped stem into
+**ladders** — `kill1..5`, `geti1..4`, `ttsttl1..4`, `mod_realm1..10` and so on.
+Membership is derived; `MOD_TITLE_FAMILY` holds only a *label per family*, with
+the lowest-ranked member's name as the fallback. A family of one is not a
+family — it falls back to a plain row. The picker and the wiki's title page
+both read this, so they cannot drift apart.
+
+- The picker **skips** a title with no usable name; the wiki **keeps** it and
+  tags it "unfinished". The author left five. Section 41 finished the four
+  whose intent is in his code — `shpt2`/`shpt3` at the 5,000 / 10,000
+  purchases his commented-out checks name, `mone2`/`mone3` at 10 / 100 gold
+  (his checks were placeholders at `GOLD`, his other ladders step 5-10x). The
+  new checks are pushed onto his own `global.shptchk` / `global.monchk`, so
+  they run at his call sites. **`ttl.ddcd` is left alone on purpose**: name
+  and desc are `"null"` and nothing says what it was for. It is NOT the
+  missing first rung of the stay-home ladder — that exists as `ttl.neet`.
+- `tests/wiki.mjs` caps the tallest page at 6,000px, which is why the ladders
+  nest under one "Ladders of their own" group rather than sitting beside the
+  skills — eleven more top-level summaries cost ~530px on the page that is
+  already the tallest.
+
+## Perks and the changelog
+
+Every skill has perks at `10/25/50/60/75/90/110` (section 22). New ones are
+**appended above the skill's current highest level** — never inserted — because
+"granted" flags are stored by array index. `tests/perkcoverage.mjs` fails if any
+skill tops out below the highest story cap.
+
+- A perk must never touch `skl.<x>.p`. Skill xp multipliers are restored from
+  the save *after* milestones fire, so the bonus is overwritten on the load that
+  first grants it and `g` is true forever after. Stats restore *before*
+  milestones, so those are safe.
+- Absorption perks use `you.caff`, not `you.res` — section 13 already drives
+  `you.res` continuously for those skills and reconciles it through
+  `global.flags.mod_aff`.
+
+**`changelog/mod-changelog.html` gets an entry for EVERY change**, including
+ones that are not gameplay — a README, a build script, repo housekeeping. Mark
+those as such rather than leaving them out; the rule is literal on purpose, so
+there is never a judgement call about what counts. Newest first.
+
+That file is the mod's own. **`changelog/changelog.html` is the AUTHOR'S and must
+stay byte-identical to `upstream/main`** — the mod's entries used to be prepended
+to it, and were moved out precisely so the single script tag in `index.html` is
+the only change the mod makes to anything of his. Verify before committing:
+
+```
+git diff upstream/main -- changelog/changelog.html    # must be empty
+./tests/authorfiles.sh                                # both rules, and CI runs it
+```
+
+**Remotes:** `origin` is the fork (`Xeus24/23html.github.io`) and is where pushes
+go; `upstream` is the author's game (`23html/23html.github.io`), which this
+account cannot push to. They were renamed so the desktop app's cloud move had a
+writable `origin` — compare the author's files against `upstream`, never
+`origin`.
+
+In game the `changelog` button opens the mod's file; the version number opens
+his.
+
+## The rank ladder
+
+`you.rank()` is the base game's **Power rank** — the number under the portrait,
+lowest is strongest. It is **derived from live stats on every read**, not
+stored, so there is no field to award. Rank 1 is reachable on stats alone, but
+only with **every** skill at 110: measured, the whole of ranks 1-10 lives inside
+the last fifteen skill levels (at 108 across the board you are still rank 3),
+after a game in which the number is an unreadable ten-digit blob.
+
+Section 34 adds a second way to hold one. Ten challengers in the Hall of the
+First Gate, off the Old Path trailhead.
+
+- **The rank is a flag, and `you.rank` is wrapped to floor at it.** Never write
+  it into a stat — `you.res` and `skl.p` are the cautionary tales. It floors,
+  never caps: hold rank 6 with rank-900 stats and it shows 6; pass it and it
+  shows the better number. `you = new You()` runs once at game init and `load()`
+  restores fields into that instance rather than replacing it, which is the only
+  reason the wrapper survives a load. `tests/ranks.mjs` asserts both directions.
+- **Difficulty steps into fight length, and the margin is re-derived.** Each
+  duel is a `protected` one-creature `size 1` area, which is exactly what
+  `MOD_scaleEnemy` reads as an arena boss, so it is already anchored to the
+  player. `MOD_scaleRankDuel` then reads back the `_modKillT`/`_modDieT` it
+  stored, multiplies the length, and **re-asserts `kill < die` itself**. Do not
+  "just make it harder" by scaling both targets in opposite directions: margin
+  1.5 over step^1.5 is already under 1.2 by a step of 1.16, so the guarantee is
+  gone by rung three.
+- **Challenger `rnk` stays ≤ 14.** That is the monster danger grade, not the
+  ladder rank — the coin drop is `rand(lvl, lvl/4) ** (1 + rnk/5 << 0)`, so
+  rnk 15 pushes the exponent from 3 to 4 and multiplies an endgame drop by a
+  hundred. The base game's toughest creature sits at rnk 10, in the same bucket.
+- Areas 981-990, creatures 990-999, the hall at `chss.mod_hall` 979. Adding a
+  rung means adding a row to `MOD_RANK_LADDER`; the hall, the wiki page and
+  `modRankLadder()` are all drawn from it.
+
+## Crafting
+
+The base game's crafting stops at two stars in practice. Measured across all 62
+recipes, by output rarity and by whether any `giveRcp` call can hand the recipe
+over: 35/43 reachable at 1★, 7/17 at 2★, **0/1 at 3★** (the only one is
+`rcp.trr`, Trinity), 1/1 at 4★ (the Clover Pin), nothing at 5★. **Nineteen
+recipes have no `giveRcp` anywhere** — defined, priced, complete, unteachable.
+Section 50 teaches the fifteen dishes by Cooking level (`MOD_DISHES`, simplest
+first by the cooking exp each grants); `test`, Trinity, Star Shell and Grand
+Gelatin stay unteachable, reported in the wiki: they are not dishes, and which
+the author gated is his call.
+
+Section 35 adds four rungs, 2★ to 5★, each a full set (weapon, body armour,
+shield, accessory, tonic) from twelve gathered materials along three lines, at
+four nodes behind one door on the Village Center. Each rung consumes the rung
+below it.
+
+- **Ids are blocked by namespace and `load()` depends on it.** A saved item id
+  resolves through `itemgroup[(id+1)/10000<<0]`, `itemgroup` being
+  `[item, wpn, eqp, sld, acc]`. An id in the wrong block restores as the wrong
+  object or not at all. Items 9200+, weapons 10101+, armour 20101+, shields
+  30101+, accessories 40101+.
+- **`rar` must not exceed 6.** `equip()` does
+  `w.wc = global.text.wecs[w.rar][0]` and `wecs` has seven entries, so a 7★
+  anything throws the moment it is worn.
+- **Armour `str` is nearly decorative.** `stat_r` adds only `eqp[0].str` (the
+  weapon) into `str_d`; `int`/`agl`/`spd` are summed over every slot. Armour
+  `str` shows in the DEF tooltips and nowhere in `dmg_calc`.
+- **Re-index the value model after adding recipes.** Section 15 builds
+  `MOD_VAL.madeBy` in an IIFE at load. Without the re-index at the end of
+  section 35, new gear falls past rule 2 (price from inputs) to rule 3 (price
+  from stats) — a 5★ sword came out at 1,161 while each of the eight ingots it
+  eats came out at 13,000. Clear `MOD_VAL.cache` too.
+- **Materials are anchored, not derived.** Rule 4 would price them
+  `stypeBase[5] * rarMult[5]` = 3,250 each, because `rarMult` is calibrated
+  against equipment rarity. `MOD_CRAFT.matValue` sets 6/18/54/162, sized so
+  gathering at the cap pays about six coin a second after the 25% sell rate
+  against roughly one a second from endgame combat.
+- Nodes set **no tier flag** — they are gathering locations, not fight areas.
+  See the catacombs note above for why that matters.
+
+## Ids are the save's primary key
+
+**No two things in a namespace may share an id, and nothing enforced this until
+`tests/ids.mjs`.** The game matches ids in loops with no `break`:
+
+```js
+for (a in a6) for (b in skl) if (a6[a].id === skl[b].id) you.skls.push(skl[b])
+for (gg in chss) if (chss[gg].id === global.lst_loc) chss[gg].sl()
+```
+
+So a duplicate is not a clash, it is corruption that compounds. Section 29 gave
+Fire Mastery `2010 + 0`; section 11 had already given the Companions parent
+`2000 + 10`. Every save/load pushed both skills for both entries and the sheet
+**doubled each cycle** — 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 — until a played-in character had a
+hundred of each. `MOD_KEY_BY_ID` is id-keyed too, so the clash also silently
+took the Companions parent's level cap.
+
+- **An `item` id is a CLASS as well as a namespace.** `dscr` type 1 reads the
+  category straight off the number, and there is no field for it —
+  `< 3000` Food (plus a "Tried:" footer), `3000-4999` Medicine/Tool,
+  `5000-8999` Material/Misc, `>= 9000` Book (plus a "Read:" footer). `stype` is
+  **not** it: the author's stype 4 spans Food, Medicine and Book. Everything the
+  mod added started at 9100+, so twenty-six items — ore, hides, essences, every
+  pill — were labelled "Book" with a "Read: Never" line under them. Pick from
+  `MOD_ITEM_IDS`; `tests/ids.mjs` checks the class against the mod's own tables.
+- **Moving an item id costs the player what they were holding.** The inventory
+  saves `{id, am, data}` and restores by matching id, so an entry whose id no
+  longer exists is dropped without a word. Section 37 reads the blob *before*
+  the game's load runs, notes what the moved ids were carrying, and gives it
+  back afterwards. It never rewrites the save — a migration that fails is
+  better than a load that does.
+- Ranges in use: parents `2000+section` (2001-2010), masteries 2011-2016,
+  Renown 2100, converged skills 2201-2210. Mod locations 973-990 (973 the Damp
+  cellar, 974 the Slip Archive, 979 the hall, 981-990 the rank duels and nodes). **Check `tests/ids.mjs` before picking.**
+- Prefer an explicit table to arithmetic when two schemes could ever meet:
+  `MOD_ELEM_IDS` lists the six rather than computing them, and says why fire is
+  out of line.
+- Changing an id loses that skill's saved level, so move the *newest* claimant.
+- `MOD_dedupeSkills` (section 33) prunes `you.skls` on load. It repairs damage
+  already written into saves; it is not a licence to leave a duplicate id.
+- **`global.titles` has the same shape of bug, from the other direction.**
+  `giveTitle` pushes each title onto *both* `global.titles` and
+  `global.titlese`, and `load()` rebuilds `global.titles` from the save by index
+  and then appends the whole of `titlese` on top — so everything earned that
+  session lands in the array twice (241 titles measured as 481 after one load,
+  241 distinct). It does not compound, but `save()` writes the inflated array
+  back out, and both the game's title screen and the mod's picker iterate it.
+  `MOD_dedupeTitles` repairs it on load, by identity. **Do not "fix" it at the
+  source** — `titlese` is the author's mechanism. Anything the mod adds that
+  reads `global.titles` should still prefer counting from `ttl`, as
+  `MOD_titleCount` does.
+
+## Skill rarity and convergence (section 39)
+
+**Rarity is derived:** `MOD_skillRank(sk)` is `MOD_rankForLevel(sk.lvl)` — the
+rank of the level the player has taken it to, against `MOD_RANK_AT`, painted
+with `MOD_RANK_COLOUR`. Never hand-assign a rarity to a skill.
+
+The colour goes on the row's `children[0]` **style**, never into the name. The
+game's per-second updater rewrites `children[0].innerHTML` every tick, which
+wipes markup but leaves the element's own inline style alone. Names are a
+primary key and must stay plain.
+
+**Folding HIDES a skill; it must never remove it from `you.skls`.** A Jade Slip
+marks the skill in `global.flags.mod_folded` and section 13's `renderSkl`
+wrapper hides the row through the same branch that hides collapsed groups and
+maxed skills. Shortening `you.skls` instead breaks three things at once:
+
+- the game's panel only redraws when the list **grows**
+  (`let sklsize=you.skls.length; ... if(sklsize<you.skls.length)`), and
+  `sklsize` is never updated, so a shrink leaves orphaned rows displayed forever;
+- `giveSkExp` pushes a skill back on its next level-up
+  (`if(!scanbyid(you.skls,skl.id)) you.skls.push(skl)`), with a "New Skill
+  Unlocked!" banner, so a removal undoes itself;
+- `you.skls` is saved by id.
+
+The only splice is in `MOD_unfold`, for the converged skill itself, and it is
+followed immediately by `MOD_redrawSkills()`.
+
+This works **because `you.skls` was only ever the display list.** The mod's
+allbuff wrappers walk `skl` by key; the game's own `allbuff` names `skl.fgt` and
+`skl.twoh` directly; most base-game skills pay out through milestones already
+written into stats. So a folded skill keeps applying every buff it applied.
+`tests/convergence.mjs` proves it: every stat after folding all hundred is
+exactly the unfolded value times `MOD_convergenceMult()`.
+
+- The ten converged skills (ids 2201-2210, `skl.mod_conv1..10`) are created
+  **unconditionally at load**, because `a7` saves exp and `p` positionally over
+  `for..in skl`. One that appeared only when you first folded would shift every
+  slot after it. The test asserts they sit at the end of `skl`.
+- They are **aggregates**: no milestones, never take exp, `use()` returns 0 (the
+  folded skills still apply their own buffs, so anything here double-counts).
+  No milestones means section 24 generates no titles for them, and
+  `perkcoverage.mjs` skips anything with `_modConverged`, as it skips Renown.
+- A converged skill's displayed level is the **best** folded level in its
+  section, so it stays inside the story cap and `MOD_UI.hideMaxed` still works.
+- The convergence bonus is a stat multiplier applied in allbuff, deliberately
+  **not** a body factor — it never touches `MOD_BODY`.
+- `removeItem(obj, flag)` takes a **flag**, not an amount — passing a count drops
+  the whole stack. Stackable items sit in `inv` once and carry their own
+  `amount`; there is no `you.inv`. Decrement `amount`, then `removeItem` only an
+  emptied stack, as the game does at `index.html:8893`.
+
+## Names are the other primary key
+
+Ids are the save's key; **names are the player's**, and nothing checked them
+until `tests/names.mjs`. Section 4 shipped `skl.frg` named "Foraging" when the
+base game already had `skl.hvt` under that name. Two identical rows in the skill
+panel, and **ten identically named titles**, because section 24 derives a
+title's name from its skill's. Nothing errored. It is `skl.frg` = **Wildcraft**
+now; the key and id are untouched, because names are not saved and ids are.
+
+- Check a new name against every namespace, and against the **whole inventory
+  bag** — `item`, `wpn`, `eqp`, `sld` and `acc` share one list, so a repeat
+  across them reads as badly as one inside a single namespace.
+- Stay in the author's register. His are plain single words — Foraging,
+  Harvesting, Topography, Elusion, Temperance, Gluttony, Famine. Not
+  invented-fantasy, not compound.
+- The author's own repeats (Chashu Ramen, Bandage, Blue Slime, Nameless, and
+  the nine areas called Training Grounds) are **listed and left alone** in the
+  test. Renaming his content is not the mod's
+  business; shipping a clash of our own is.
+
+## The hunter's quest, and anything else on a rot timer
+
+`quest.hnt1` wants **ten Raw Meat held at once**, and `item.rwmt1.rot` is
+`[.25,.45,.1,.2]`: `planner.chkrot` runs once an in-game day, adds
+`randf(rot[0],rot[1])` divided by a season modifier (**0.5 in summer — twice as
+fast**, 2.5 in winter), and at `rottil >= 1` destroys
+`amount * randf(rot[2],rot[3]) + 1`. So a perishable stock **converges** rather
+than accumulating:
+
+```
+A = (gain_per_day * days_between_rot - 1) / lossFraction
+```
+
+The mod never touched the drop table. It made a rabbit take ten swings instead
+of one (`MOD_ENEMY.kill` targets eight landed swings; a quest-stage rabbit went
+from 93 HP to 3,574), and ten times less meat an hour against an unchanged rot
+clock dropped the summer steady state to **4 against the 10 required**. Feasible
+in three seasons and impossible in the fourth is a bug, not a difficulty choice.
+
+On Fights: Original (the default since v4.6) his fights are back, so is his 6%,
+and `MOD_MEAT.killSecOriginal` (5s) replaces the 15s — see section 47. On Scaled,
+section 36 raises the drop 6% → 18%, solved backwards from a steady state of 25
+in the worst season and the first hunting area, and applies it to **every**
+creature carrying `rwmt1` found by scanning the drop tables rather than by
+naming the rabbit and the wolf. `MOD_meatSteadyState()` is the shared formula;
+`modMeat()` prints the table. **Any change to kill times has to re-check this** —
+it is the one quest whose difficulty is set by the clock rather than by the
+fight.
+
+## Choice lines have a fixed height
+
+`.chs` is `height:22px` with no overflow rule, so a choice that wraps does not
+grow its row — it spills over the next one and off the bottom of the panel.
+Roughly 55 characters fit. Keep an added line under 50 and put the sentence in
+`addDesc(node, null, 2, title, text)`, which is what the game does. Use
+`MOD_chsAboveBack()` so the line lands above the location's `"<= Return"`; all
+85 of the game's back-choices start with `"<=`.
+
+## Selling and key items
+
+Section 15 added selling, which the base game does not have, so **the mod owns
+the question of what must never be sold.** `MOD_KEY_ITEMS` (section 32) derives
+it: the game is one inline `<script>`, so its source is readable at runtime
+through `document.scripts`; a flag the game never sets back to `false` is a
+one-way unlock, and an item that sets one is the only copy of something.
+
+This shipped broken — the "Pamphlet" is the only thing in the game that opens
+the marketplace, and selling it took the marketplace, its three shops, a quest
+and the realm 2-5 breakthrough pills away permanently. Add a source of selling
+and re-check this.
+
+## The wiki
+
+Section 31. The `wiki` button on the bottom bar and the settings row both call
+`modWiki()`, which builds a complete HTML document as a string and writes it
+into `window.open('', '_blank')`.
+
+**It is generated from the live game data, and that is the point.** It reads
+`skl`, `area`, `item`, `ttl`, `act` and the mod's own tables, so it cannot
+disagree with the game. Never hand-write content into a page builder that could
+be read off an object instead — `tests/wiki.mjs` counts coverage from the game
+rather than from a list, so a skill added without a wiki entry fails the suite
+on its own, and that only works while the pages stay derived.
+
+- `MOD_wikiGroup()` for anything list-shaped. With everything listed, three
+  pages ran past 40,000px; groups collapse by default and the tallest is now
+  5,800. Anything past `MOD_WIKI_ALPHA_AT` gets an alphabetical sub-split.
+- **Spawn shares come from `area.popc`, not `pop[i].c`.** `z_bake` normalises
+  those weights into the `[lo,hi]` bands `mon_gen` rolls against, and they do
+  not have to sum to 1 — the Southern forest's .35/.45/.25 are really 33/43/24%.
+- `area.nwh` and `area.tst` are excluded: the first is where `current_z` parks
+  whenever you are not fighting, the second hangs off `chss.tst`, which has
+  `id -1` and is in no sector. The flag for an area whose `pop` carries no
+  weight (NaN bands, nothing can spawn) is **derived from `popc`** and stays:
+  `tests/wiki.mjs` strips a live area's weights to prove it still fires.
+  `area.clg`, the Damp cellar, was that area — section 41 gave it weights, an
+  entrance (Notice #1 on the Message Board, `chss.mod_cellar` 973) and a real
+  exit. Its original `onEnd` moved to `chss.q1lwn`/`q1l`, which do not exist.
+  The placement is an inference from those names ("quest 1"); everything else
+  is his.
+- A page builder that throws is caught and says so in place; it must not take
+  the document down.
+- No fetches, no CDN, no dependencies. It has to work from `file://`.
+
+## Actions
+
+The mod adds five actions. They are **earned**, not granted on a timer. Three
+come from milestones on the base-game skill they grow out of, the same way
+`skl.walk` lv 1 grants "Run": Toughness 4 → Endurance Drill, Harvesting 4 →
+Forage, Literacy 8 → Practice Calligraphy.
+
+**Closed Door Training** (section 38) is granted on the tick at your first
+cultivation bottleneck, for the same reason as the next one.
+
+**Circulate Qi is the exception**: it comes from clearing the dojo's three
+tutorial fights (`tr1_win`/`tr2_win`/`tr3_win` — Easiest, Easy, Normal), checked
+on the tick, because the condition is story flags rather than a skill level. It
+is the way into the whole cultivation system, so gating it behind Temperance —
+a skill trained by discarding possessions — was obscure. Temperance keeps a
+plain perk at level 5 so the save's index-keyed milestone flags do not shift.
+
+- Milestone flags are stored **by array index**, so a gating milestone must be
+  appended and levels must stay ascending. Section 3 already appended level-50
+  milestones to Walking, Meditation, Foraging, Patience, Fighting and Sleeping,
+  so those skills cannot take a low-level gate at all.
+- `tests/audit.mjs` counts `acts.length` as player state, so a perk that only
+  grants an action still registers as doing something.
+
+`MOD_FREE` / the "Unrestricted actions" checkbox lets several run at once and
+ignores every `cond()`. It works by swapping the shared `timers.actm` slot
+around each action's own activate/deactivate rather than reimplementing them —
+see section 21 before touching it. Turning it off stops everything.
+
+## Settings travel inside the save (section 48)
+
+`save()` is wrapped to write `global.flags.mod_settings` (pacing, fights, number
+format, speed, exp, coin, unrestricted actions, rarity filter), and `load()` to
+adopt each one **only where this browser has no localStorage key of its own** —
+so a save moved to a new browser brings them, and a browser's own choice is
+never overwritten. Pacing is applied first, since a preset sets exp, coin and
+fights together. A new setting belongs in `MOD.settingKeys`,
+`MOD_settingsSnapshot` and `MOD_adoptSettings`, or it stays behind. Adoption runs
+once per browser (`p23_mod_settings_seen`), so a slot switch never pulls another
+slot's snapshot in; `tests/slotsettings.mjs` holds it. `tests/docs.mjs` checks the
+counts the docs state (sections, scripts, version, suite time) against the source.
+
+## Save slots
+
+The game has one save, at localStorage `"v0.3"`, read once from a `window` load
+listener. Section 20 keeps that key holding whichever of three slots is live and
+mirrors each slot beside it (`p23_slot_N`), wrapping `save()` to refresh the
+mirror. Switching or starting a new game writes `"v0.3"` and reloads — the game
+builds its world at startup and cannot unload a save.
+
+- **Boot adopts, never overwrites.** A missing mirror is filled from `"v0.3"`;
+  the live key is never written from a mirror, which could only be staler.
+- `save()`'s return value is the blob and the export button reads it, so the
+  wrapper must pass it through.
+- The base game's "delete the save" was `localStorage.clear()` — it is rebound
+  to the active slot only, by cloning the node to drop the anonymous listener.
+
+**Backups (sections 0 and 44).** When `p23_mod_lastver` differs from
+`MOD.version`, the live save and every slot are copied into `p23_backup_1..3`
+before the game reads anything.
+
+- **Section 0 must stay the first code in `mod.js`**, with no dependency on
+  anything below it (plain key literals, not section 20's constants). A section
+  that throws stops every line after it while the game still loads and
+  autosaves, so the backup has to exist before any of that can fail.
+  `tests/backups.mjs` asserts it precedes section 1.
+- Order by `seq`, not the clock — backups made in one millisecond tie.
+- **A failed backup must never cost an older one.** On a quota error it frees only
+  the backup it is replacing; an early version cleared them all and then lost
+  them when the retry failed.
+- Restoring writes every slot back, backs up the present first (never over the
+  one being restored), and reloads. It restores saves, not code.
+- **Bump `MOD.version` for any change a save could notice**, or the backup that
+  protects it is never made.
+- Number 4 is the **daily** backup and only the daily replaces it; 1-3 rotate.
+  `MOD_putBackup` stores any record; downloads are the record as JSON, and a
+  file loads back through the same function after a shape check.
+
+## Testing
+
+```sh
+npm install && npx playwright install chromium   # once
+npm test                                          # everything
+./tests/run.sh audit combat                       # a subset
+```
+
+`tests/README.md` explains what each script covers. Note that several of them
+**write to the save** — export one first, or run against a copy.
+
+Always finish a change with `npm run check` (mod.js parses, and the userscript
+was rebuilt from it) plus the relevant test script. The mod is ~13,800 lines of
+wrappers around a codebase with no types and no module boundaries; the tests
+are the only safety net.
+
+- **`BROWSER=webkit`** runs any script, or the suite, on Safari's engine, and CI
+  runs both. Layout is where the engines differ: WebKit (like any browser set to
+  always show scrollbars) takes ~8px for the skill panel's scrollbar, which
+  headless Chromium does not, so a width that fits "with a pixel to spare"
+  only fails there. Size things to share the space (`flex:1 1 0`), not to add up
+  to the panel exactly. For CSS, write the `-webkit-` form beside
+  `user-select`, and give a `<select>` `MOD_styleSelect()` — Safari draws it as a
+  native macOS button and ignores its background otherwise.
+- **Wait with `settle(page)`** (`tests/lib/browser.mjs`), never a fixed sleep:
+  it waits for two game ticks after load, counted from the tick the page
+  already had, since a loaded save brings its own `global.stat.tick`.
+- `run.sh` runs four scripts at once (`JOBS=1` for one at a time, output live).
+  Every script launches its own browser, so their saves cannot collide. The
+  whole suite is about 75 seconds; it prints seconds per script.
+- **GitHub runs everything on every push and pull request**
+  (`.github/workflows/tests.yml`): `npm run check`, `tests/authorfiles.sh`, then
+  `npm test`.
+- **The userscript is generated.** `userscript/proto23-mod.user.js` embeds
+  mod.js and the mod's changelog; after changing either, `npm run build:userscript`
+  and commit it. `tests/userscript.mjs` and `npm run check` fail when it is stale.
+  It appends mod.js as an inline `<script data-p23-mod>` at DOMContentLoaded — a
+  userscript manager's own wrapper function would make every `var` local. So
+  anything that reads the game's source from `document.scripts` must go through
+  `MOD_gameSource()`, which skips that tag.

+# Proto23 local mod — design record
+
+**Version 4.7.** All mod code lives in `mod.js` — about 13,750 lines in 48
+numbered sections, plus section 0, which must stay first, and a final one that
+must stay last. The only change to the
+game itself is one `<script src="mod.js">` line at the bottom of `index.html`.
+Set up 2026-09-04.
+
+## How to read this file
+
+The first part, down to the end of **"What the mod does now"**, describes the
+mod as it stands. Everything after it is the **design record, in the order it
+was built**: what was found, what was measured, and why each change has the
+shape it has.
+
+Those sections describe the mod *as it was when they were written*. Where a
+later version changed something, a note beside the statement says so and
+points to where it lives now, in this form:
+
+> **Since v4.2:** what changed, and where to read about it.
+
+History is kept rather than rewritten because the reasoning is the point — most
+of the mod's constraints exist because something broke once, and the section
+that broke is where the explanation lives. `CLAUDE.md` is the short list of
+those constraints; this is the long form.
+
+## Run it
+
+Open `index.html` — double-click it, no server needed. It is a single
+self-contained file with no ES modules, and the mod loads fine over `file://`
+(verified). To serve it instead, `npx http-server -p 8080 -c-1 .` — the `-c-1`
+stops the browser caching an old `mod.js`.
+
+## Console commands
+
+Open DevTools (Cmd+Option+I). `modHelp()` prints only the basics; this is the
+full set.

+```
+
+## What the mod does now
+
+### Pacing, measured against the original
+
+`tests/vanilla.mjs` loads the game twice — once with `mod.js` blocked, which is
+the author's game exactly — and runs the same measurements on both.
+
+- **Skill exp costs exactly what the original charges below level 10**, checked
+  against the author's own `expnext` rather than a copy of it. His 22 perk
+  ladders all end between level 1 and 15, so that is the range he designed.
+  From level 10 the cost rises about 2.9% a level, at a ratio solved so that
+  0 → 110 takes the same time it always has. His own curve cannot be kept past
+  that: 109 → 110 costs ~1.2 × 10¹⁴ xp.
+- **Skill exp multiplier 1 and enemy coin drops off by default** — the
+  original's values. Both are settings boxes, and a value set there persists.
+- **Character level** uses the game's own curve, untouched.
+- **Story caps** 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 75 / 90 / 110, each opened
+  by a story beat.
+- A **Pacing** setting puts back the pre-4.2 pacing exactly, for anyone who
+  preferred it: `50 × 1.106^level`, skill exp 2×, a 15% coin drop, scaled fights.
+- **Fights in the author's areas are his**, spawn for spawn, by default (v4.6):
+  see Combat.
+
+### Combat
+
+- **A Fights setting (v4.6).** On *Original*, the default, every area the author
+  wrote spawns his creatures exactly as his page does — `tests/fights.mjs`
+  compares all 70 — with his level ranges and his 6% Raw Meat, so you out-grow
+  them as in his game. On *Scaled*, and always in the mod's own areas and rank
+  duels, the model below applies.
+- **Scaled: every spawn is solved against the player's measured power** — about 8
+  swings to kill and 20 to die, with spread from the area's level band and the
+  creature's own shape, and a margin that guarantees `kill < die`. Measured
+  through the real `dmg_calc`, stratified on the crit roll, and topped up when a
+  sample happens to roll no crit. Across the three matchups measured at 1,000
+  spawns each, 98% landed within 4% of their target.
+- That is longer than the original's early game, where you out-level fixed
+  creatures and most forest fights take one swing. The model exists to remove
+  out-levelling; `tests/vanilla.mjs` prints the gap.
+- **Elemental techniques** proc on your swings once your channels are open.
+
+### Places
+
+- **The Sunken Hollow, the Ashen Spire and the Long Vigil**, past the base
+  game's last area, opening in order after golem arena IV.
+- **The catacombs** (the author's 26 rooms, given an entrance), **the Pill
+  Tower**, **the Hall of the First Gate** (the rank ladder), **the Diggings**
+  (four crafting nodes), **the Slip Archive** (on the dojo lobby) and **the Damp
+  cellar** (Notice #1 on the Message Board — the author's area, given weights,
+  a way in and a way out).
+
+### Skills
+
+- Around a hundred skills: the base game's, plus the mod's — Qi Circulation,
+  Wildcraft, Calligraphy and Conditioning; the discovered skills; ten section
+  parents; six elemental masteries; Renown; and ten converged skills.
+- **Perks at 10/25/50/60/75/90/110 on every skill**, and a live tooltip on each
+  saying what it currently does.
+- **Rarity** — ten grades, Novice to Transcendent — derived from the level you
+  have taken a skill to. Coloured in the list, named in the tooltip, sortable
+  and filterable.
+- **Folding**: a Jade Slip folds a skill into its section. Fold a whole section
+  and it is one line. Folded skills keep every level, perk and buff; a fully
+  folded section is worth ×1.03 on every stat, ×1.34 with all ten.
+- **Five added actions**, each earned: Endurance Drill (Toughness 4), Forage
+  (Harvesting 4), Practice Calligraphy (Literacy 8), Circulate Qi (the dojo's
+  three tutorial fights) and Closed Door Training (your first bottleneck).
+  Running several at once is an opt-in setting.
+
+### Cultivation
+
+- **Ten realms above Mortal**, Qi Refining to Tribulation Transcendence, on the
+  same level thresholds as title ranks. Up to ×6 on every stat and ×8.5 on the
+  body.
+- **The road between them**: a Spiritual Root rolled once; nine layers to every
+  realm; insight earned by meditating, by fights you nearly lost and by going
+  somewhere new; Closed Door Training, which consolidates and shelters a
+  breakthrough; Qi Deviation for failing in the open; a Heavenly Tribulation
+  for the top three realms. Modelled on Wuxiaworld's general glossary of the
+  genre's terms.
+- **Each wall is sized to the climb to it** (v4.6): about 5% of the Circulate Qi
+  time it took — 60 insight at realm 3, 1,580 at realm 10 — earned only at the
+  wall, three times faster in seclusion.
+- Every breakthrough pill has a source: the instructor, the Herbalist, the
+  dojo's Level Advancement rungs to 110, the Pill Tower.
+- **Your realm is on the rank line**, and at a bottleneck it is the
+  breakthrough button.
+
+### Titles and rank
+
+- Title ranks 1–10 derived from the level that earns them; five titles per
+  skill; the worn title applies, and Renown makes lower ranks passive. The
+  picker and the wiki group titles by skill and into ladders.
+- Four of the author's unfinished titles finished from the intent in his code.
+- **The rank ladder**: ten challengers, beaten in order; the rank you hold
+  floors the Power rank under your portrait without capping it.
+
+### Crafting and money
+
+- **Crafting to five stars**: twenty items and twelve materials on four rungs,
+  each consuming the one below.
+- **Selling** at 25% of value, with key items — anything that is the only way
+  to unlock something — protected. The marketplace cannot be locked out.
+- Raw meat drops at the author's 6% on Original fights and 18% on Scaled, so
+  the hunter's quest is feasible in every season either way.
+- **Every price the ladder requires is checked against income** (v4.6): no more
+  than 10% of the climb it gates, in hours of the best income open at that point
+  with no coin drop. The Pill Tower's top three pills were cut to pass.
+
+### Three corrections to the author's code
+
+- **Death** now reduces energy lost on death, as its text says — it used to
+  take all of it by level 10 and go negative after.
+- **Shield Mastery** can no longer turn your defence into extra damage taken.
+- **Luck** reaches the crit roll, as the author wrote it to, up to 50% from luck.
+
+### On the screen
+
+- **Number formats**: Short (4.56M), Scientific, Myriads (5.6亿) or as the
+  original. Up to 9,999 every format prints exactly what the original prints.
+- **A wiki** of fifteen pages, generated from the live game data every time it
+  opens and reading your save — including a Skill handbook and a What next page.
+- The skill panel groups, collapses, hides maxed skills, and no longer rebuilds
+  itself every second.
+- Three save slots, **backed up automatically before a new version loads and
+  once a day** — restorable from the saves panel, and downloadable as a file so a
+  save survives clearing the browser — a labelled changelog
+  button, and settings for skill exp, game speed, coin drops, number format,
+  pacing and fights.
+- **A userscript** (v4.6) runs the whole mod on the author's hosted game, with no
+  local copy.
+
+### Tests
+
+Forty Playwright scripts drive a real browser at a real copy of the game,
+four at a time, in about 75 seconds — and on GitHub for every push and
+pull request, beside a check that the author's two files are still his.
+The numbers that define the balance are committed in
+`tests/baselines/balance.json`, so any change to them is a diff.
+The broadest, `allareas`, fights every creature in every area at both ends of
+its level band, at ten story tiers, in four skill builds — 3,720 matchups, all
+of which must be winnable. See `tests/README.md`.
+
+---
+
+# The design record
+
+What follows is in the order it was built.
+
+## The first version
+
+**Game speed** — a toggle rather than a fixed change; default stays 1x.
+`global.fps` drives the main loop (`setTimeout(..., 1000/global.fps)`) and
+combat, so raising it scales ticks, skill xp and fighting together.
+Sustained actions run on their own fixed 1s timer, so `setSpeed` also re-arms
+a running action at the new rate — otherwise actions would lag behind
+everything else.
+
+**Skill XP: 2x** — applied by wrapping `giveSkExp` rather than editing the
+`Skill` constructor's `p` default. `p` gets restored from your save file, so a
+constructor change would be silently overwritten on load. Wrapping is
+save-independent and stacks multiplicatively with the in-game "+x% EXP Gain"
+perks.
+
+> **Since v4.2:** the multiplier ships at **1**, the original's value. The
+> wrapper and the settings box are unchanged. See "Measured against the
+> original game".
+
+**Extended milestones** — the original perks stop around lv 10-15. Added tiers
+at **20/25/30/40/50** to: Fighting, all ten weapon masteries, Sleep, Walking,
+Meditation, Gluttony, Greed, Patience, the four crafting skills, and the three
+gathering skills.
+
+**Four new skills, each with a sustained action:**
+
+| Skill | Type | Action | Trains |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Qi Circulation | lifestyle | Circulate Qi | Qi Circulation, Meditation, Patience |
+| Foraging | gathering | Forage | Foraging (+ finds herbs/mushrooms/apples) |
+| Calligraphy | crafting | Practice Calligraphy | Calligraphy, Reading, Patience |
+| Conditioning | physical | Endurance Drill | Conditioning, Toughness, Walking |
+
+Each has nine milestones (lv 2 → 50). New skills only appear in the UI once
+they first level up — that's the game's own behaviour, not a bug. Foraging
+grants existing items only; no new items were added.
+
+> **Since v3.x:** the mod's "Foraging" (`skl.frg`) is named **Wildcraft** — the
+> base game already had a Foraging. See "Two names for one skill". The actions
+> are now earned rather than granted; see "The added actions are earned now"
+> and "Circulate Qi comes from the dojo".
+
+## Live skill tooltips
+
+Hovering a skill now shows what it currently does, recomputed each time:
+
+```
+Ability to fight using swords
+Slightly increases attack power when holding a sword
+Attack power with a sword +100%
+Next perk: lvl 25 (5 levels to go)
+```
+
+Every percentage is derived from that skill's own `use()` function and its
+call site in the game, not invented. Skills whose `use()` only returns the raw
+level, with the meaning decided by a caller I could not pin down, deliberately
+get no effect line — they still show "Next perk".
+
+Implementation note: the skill tooltip (`dscr` type 6) renders `what.desc` as a
+plain string, unlike item and action tooltips which already accept a function.
+Rather than patch the game's renderer, each skill's `desc` is redefined as a
+getter, so the tooltip picks up fresh numbers on every hover.
+
+### Continuous effects for the added skills
+
+The four added skills originally paid out only at milestone levels, so unlike
+the base-game skills they had no per-level formula — and so no honest
+percentage to display. They now have one, in the game's own idiom:
+
+| Skill | Per level | Shows as |
+|---|---|---|
+| Qi Circulation | INT +3% | `Mental acuity +30%` at lvl 10 |
+| Calligraphy | INT +2% | `Mental acuity +16%` at lvl 8 |
+| Conditioning | STR +3% | `Attack power +36%` at lvl 12 |
+| Foraging | find chance +0.15% | `Forage find chance +4% per tick` at lvl 20 |
+
+Foraging already had a real per-level effect (the find chance inside its
+action); it just wasn't exposed. That number now comes from one shared
+`MOD_forageChance()` so the tooltip and the action can't drift apart.
+
+> **Since v3.x:** "Foraging" in this table is the mod's `skl.frg`, now named
+> **Wildcraft** — see "Two names for one skill".
+
+The other three hook `allbuff()`, which is what the base game uses for exactly
+this — it calls `stat_r()` (resetting stats from base + flat bonuses) and then
+layers skill effects on top, the same path Fighting and the weapon masteries
+take. Because `stat_r()` resets first, repeated calls don't compound.
+
+Verified: at 100 base INT/STR, Qi lvl 10 gives 130 INT and Conditioning lvl 10
+gives 130 STR; three further `allbuff()` calls leave both unchanged, and
+zeroing the skills returns both to 100.
+
+Note this makes those four skills meaningfully stronger than when they only
+had milestones — they now scale continuously *and* keep their nine perks.
+
+### A base-game bug this surfaced
+
+The Death skill's description says "Reduces energy loss on death", but the
+actual formula is:
+
+```js
+this.sat *= (0.55 * (1 - skl.dth.use()))     // use() returns lvl * 0.1
+```
+
+That multiplier *shrinks* as the skill levels, reaching 0 at level 10 — so
+levelling Death makes death worse, not better, and past lvl 10 you keep no
+energy at all. The tooltip reports the real computed value and flags it.
+
+This is almost certainly what the `proto23bugfix` fork was aiming at; it
+rewrote the line as `0.45*(1 + skl.dth.use())`. Not changed here — say the word
+and I'll fix it.
+
+> **Fixed in v4.5**, and worse than this said: from level 11 the multiplier goes
+> below zero and so does your energy. See "Three bugs in the author's code".
+
+## Naturally discovered skills
+
+Nine more skills that surface from playing normally — no action to toggle.
+Play and they appear.
+
+| Skill | Discovered by | Per level |
+|---|---|---|
+| Wayfaring | travelling between locations | SPD +2% |
+| Battle Scars | taking damage | STR +2% |
+| Footwork | dodging attacks | AGL +3% |
+| Curiosity | inspecting things (tooltips) | INT +2% |
+| Collecting | picking up items | INT +1.5% |
+| Weatherworn | being outdoors in rain or snow | STR +1.5% |
+| Nightwalking | being outdoors at night | AGL +2% |
+| Lunar Attunement | outdoors under a full moon | INT +3% |
+| Second Wind | acting below 25% energy | STR +2% |
+
+At level 0 each tooltip names its trigger, so an undiscovered skill tells you
+how to find it once you know it exists. `modDiscoveries()` in the console
+lists all nine with current levels.
+
+### How they work
+
+One wrapper around `ontick()` drives the whole set. Nothing else is patched
+and no new counter is created — the counter-driven ones read `global.stat.*`
+values the game already maintains for its own statistics screen (`smovet`,
+`dmgrt`, `dodgt`, `popt`, `igtttl`) and grant xp on the delta. The rest test
+environment flags each tick (weather `frain`/`fsnow`, `isday`, `getLunarPhase()
+=== 4` for the full moon, energy ratio).
+
+`ontick()` reschedules itself with `setTimeout(...ontick()...)`, which resolves
+to the wrapper, so the chain stays single — one tick, one call.
+
+Counter deltas are capped per tick (`cap` in each entry) so one enormous event
+can't dump a level's worth of xp. Verified: a single 99,999-point damage spike
+grants 12 xp, not a level. The baseline also resyncs after a load, so counters
+restored from a save don't read as a huge delta.
+
+Continuous effects go through the same `allbuff()` hook as the other added
+skills. Verified at 100 base AGL/SPD: Footwork lvl 10 gives 130 AGL and
+Wayfaring lvl 10 gives 120 SPD, and repeated `allbuff()` calls don't compound.
+
+## Skills now do what their text says
+
+Every skill trained by a **condition** now only **applies** under that
+condition. Second Wind said "finding something left after there is nothing
+left" and then handed out strength around the clock; Nightwalking claimed
+night-footing and worked at noon; Berserking promised strength found past the
+point of sense and was a flat buff at full health.
+
+The rule is simply: if it trains under a condition, it applies under that
+condition. Counter-trained skills (kills, travel, items handled) stay always-on,
+since those represent accumulated ability rather than a situation.
+
+Conditional skills are worth **2x** while active, or a situational skill would
+be strictly worse than an always-on one at the same level.
+
+Tooltips state the condition and whether it is live right now:
+
+```
+Fighting on while badly hurt
+Strength found past the point of sense
+Attack power +5.3%  inactive — only while badly hurt
+```
+
+```
+Comfort in the hours most people sleep through
+Eyes and footing that suit the dark
+Agility +60%  active now — only outdoors at night
+```
+
+Verified: Berserking gives 100 STR at full health, 109 at 15% health, and 100
+again once healed. Nightwalking gives 100 AGL by day, 160 outdoors at night,
+and 100 indoors at night. Killing Intent (counter-trained) is identical in both
+states.
+
+One flavour note was reworded rather than re-mechanised: Throwing Arm claimed
+"power behind a thrown weapon" but raises general attack power, so it now says
+"strength built by throwing".
+
+### Fixed: max HP changed mid-fight
+
+Max HP was derived from `you.str` *after* the situational skills applied.
+Berserking activates below 30% health, which raised STR, which raised max HP
+through `hpTrack` — so taking a hit could visibly move your maximum, and
+recovering moved it back.
+
+The allbuff hook now runs in two passes:
+
+1. **Permanent** skills apply. Max HP is derived from the result of this pass
+   only.
+2. **Situational** skills layer on top and never touch max HP.
+
+Equipment cancels out of the ratio (it is in both `strRef` and the result), so
+max HP now moves only when permanent power does — a level, a milestone, an
+equipment change.
+
+Verified: with Berserking and Second Wind both at lv 30, max HP holds at 1061
+across healthy → hurt and starving → recovered, while STR still swings 107 →
+265 → 107. Six consecutive `allbuff()` calls mid-fight return the same maximum.
+
+### Fixed: "trains faster" perks did nothing
+
+Four milestone perks were written as `f: function () {}` — the label existed,
+the effect never did. One on every added skill at lv 10, one at lv 50, and all
+three parent-skill section perks. Exactly the same failure as the base game's
+`dfl` and the dead affinities, except self-inflicted.
+
+Now implemented, and measured:
+
+| Perk | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| Skill's own lv 10 | that skill trains x1.10 |
+| ...plus its lv 50 | x1.15 total |
+| Parent lv 10 / 25 / 50 | every skill in that section trains x1.10 / x1.20 / x1.35 |
+
+Verified by intercepting the xp that reaches the grant: own perk x1.10, both own
+perks x1.15, all three section perks x1.35 for the skill **and** for a true
+sibling under the same parent, and x1.00 for a skill in another section.
+
+**Not** implemented as `sk.p += 0.1`, which is how the base game's equivalents
+work, because `p` is restored from the save positionally *after* milestones
+re-fire on load — a newly added milestone's increment would be applied and then
+immediately overwritten. The bonus is instead derived from the milestone `g`
+flags, which the save does carry reliably, so it cannot be clobbered.
+
+Wording was also made incremental with a running total. Three milestones each
+reading "trains 10/20/35% faster" looks like each replaces the last; they now
+read "+10% faster", "+10% faster (20% total)", "+15% faster (35% total)".
+
+### Per-skill fairness
+
+Testing the above exposed a separate problem. Normalising each *stat's total*
+meant individual skills were wildly unequal — with 34 STR skills and 14 AGL
+skills, Berserking at lv20 gave +5.3% while Nightwalking at lv15 gave +60%.
+Both are one skill; levelling either should pay comparably.
+
+Every skill is now scaled by the same factor, keeping only the small
+per-skill weights written for flavour (0.11-0.264 %/level, a 2.4x spread).
+Stat totals now differ by how many skills feed them (at cap 10: STR +59%,
+INT +78%, AGL +26%, SPD +11%), which is fine — INT and SPD matter less in
+combat than STR.
+
+## Selling
+
+The base game never implemented it. `Vendor` has `items` and `stock` and no
+sell path — but four vendors carry a `dfl` field (a sell-back rate of 0.2-0.3)
+that is **assigned and read exactly zero times**. The hook was left in and
+never wired up, like the dead affinities.
+
+Any shop now has **Buy / Sell** tabs; the Sell tab shows the vendor's rate in
+the label. Click a row to sell one. Selling trains Trading and adds a little
+reputation, and Trading and reputation both improve the take, mirroring how
+they already improve buying.
+
+Items flagged `important` (quest and key items) and anything equipped are
+excluded.
+
+### Pricing 543 items when the game priced 55
+
+The hard part: prices live on the vendor's stock entry, not on items:
+
+```js
+vendor.stvr1.items = [{item: item.cbun1, p: 6, ...}]
+```
+
+so an item in your pack has no intrinsic worth. Only 55 item objects are priced
+anywhere. Values are derived in this order — earlier rules use the author's own
+numbers, later ones are increasingly inferred:
+
+| Rule | Basis | Items |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | the vendor's own price, exactly | 55 |
+| 2 | sum of recipe inputs x 1.25, resolved recursively from real `rcp` data | 57 |
+| 3 | `5.3 x (str+agl+int+spd+dpmax/10)` for stat-bearing equipment | 158 |
+| 4 | that stype's median anchor price at rarity 1, x a rarity multiplier | 274 |
+
+The 5.3 in rule 3 is the **median price-per-stat of the seven stat-bearing
+equipment anchors** (their ratios run 3.4 to 9.6), not a guess.
+
+Rule 4's rarity curve is the one genuinely invented part, and worth knowing
+about: the anchors are 52/55 rarity-1 items, with two at rarity 0 and one at
+rarity 2, so there is nothing to fit above that. The two observations (rarity 0
+at ~0.22x and rarity 2 at ~12.7x of the rarity-1 median) bracket it; the curve
+used (0.25 / 1 / 5 / 15 / 45 / 130) is a deliberate, more conservative choice.
+It is one line in `MOD_VAL.rarMult` to retune.
+
+`modItemValue(name)` reports any item's value and which rule produced it.
+
+Verified: all 544 item objects resolve to a positive value; all 55 anchored
+items come back at exactly the author's price; recipe values resolve
+recursively with a depth guard against cycles; selling moves wealth by exactly
+the quoted price and decrements the stack; selling a stack to zero removes it
+and shows "Nothing here worth selling"; switching back to Buy restores the
+vendor's stock list; `important` items are refused.
+
+### The economy check, and what it found
+
+I flagged that selling might trivialise buying. Measured, it was wrong in the
+other direction:
+
+| | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Sell income per kill (before) | 0.6 - 5 |
+| Vendor prices | median 31, max 690 |
+| Enemy coin drops | **0 by default** |
+
+Two real problems came out of it.
+
+**Rarity is a dead signal.** Endgame loot like Life Stone is flagged rarity 1
+exactly like a mushroom, so rules 1-4 priced every drop in The Long Vigil at 16.
+What actually separates them is the level of the creature that drops it and how
+often — both real data in the area tables. Rule 5 uses that:
+
+```
+value = 0.8 x lvl^1.25 x (1/chance)^0.35
+```
+
+applied only when it EXCEEDS the type/rarity estimate, so it lifts endgame loot
+without cheapening common early items, and never overrides a vendor's own
+price. Life Stone went from 16 to 80 ("drop source (lv 40)"); Apple stays at 5
+because that is the author's price.
+
+This one is calibrated to a target income curve rather than fitted to anchors —
+no anchored item appears in a drop table, so there was nothing to fit against.
+
+**Money has no combat source.** The code for enemies dropping coin is complete
+and working:
+
+```js
+if(you.mods.enmondren>0) if(random()<you.mods.enmondren){
+  let aam = 1+rand(this.lvl<<0,(this.lvl/4)<<0)**(1+(this.rnk/5)<<0)*you.mods.enmondrts;
+  giveWealth(rand(aam*.5<<0||1,aam*1.5<<0||1)); }
+```
+
+but `enmondren` defaults to 0, so the branch never runs — only the Ring of Greed
+(+0.03) ever turned it on. Another finished mechanism left switched off, like
+`dfl` and the four affinities. Now enabled at **15%**, using the author's own
+amount formula, which already scales with enemy level and rank.
+
+`you.mods` is saved, so the contribution is tracked in `global.flags` and
+applied as a delta — the same pairing the affinity resistances use. A flat add
+on every load would compound; clamping to a fixed value would erase the Ring of
+Greed. Verified: stable across repeated ticks and two save/load cycles, and the
+Ring still stacks (0.15 to 0.18, preserved through the tick).
+
+> **Since v4.2:** the chance ships at **0**, the original's value — the author only
+> turns the drop on through the Coin Ring and the Ring of Greed, and a 15% base
+> made both of them rounding errors. The delta tracking and the settings box are
+> unchanged. See "Measured against the original game".
+
+### Resulting income curve
+
+```
+Western forest      1.4      The Sunken Hollow    5.1
+Southern forest     2.5      The Ashen Spire     22.6
+Your basement       3.6      The Long Vigil      16.4
+```
+
+Against a median vendor price of 31: roughly 22 kills for a mid-tier purchase
+early on, dropping to 1-2 late. `modEconomy()` prints this live;
+`setMoneyDrops(n)` and `modResetMoneyDrops()` tune it.
+
+## Titles, bigger flat bonuses, and Renown
+
+### Fifteen new titles
+
+Ids 201-215, clear of the game's highest (107). Titles save by id, so new ones
+are save-safe. Executioner, Deathless, Stormcaller, Darkmoon, Artificer,
+Scholar, Insatiable, Wayfinder, Quicksilver, Farstrider, Unbending, Sage,
+Circulator, Moonlit, Unspent.
+
+### Bigger flat bonuses
+
+Two changes, and the distinction between them matters for save safety:
+
+**The existing milestones were made richer in place** — lv 25 gives +3 (was
++1), lv 50 gives +6 and HP +25 (was +2). Editing a milestone's `f()` leaves its
+array *index* alone, so the save's index-based granted flags stay aligned.
+
+**Twelve flagship skills got new deep tiers appended** at lv 55 / 60 / 70 / 75,
+worth up to +22 to their stat plus HP and Max Energy, ending in a title:
+
+| Skill | Title | Skill | Title |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Killing Intent | Executioner | Pathfinding | Wayfinder |
+| Mortality | Deathless | Reflexes | Quicksilver |
+| Storm Sense | Stormcaller | Ranging | Farstrider |
+| New Moon | Darkmoon | Grit | Unbending |
+| Making | Artificer | Wisdom | Sage |
+| Study | Scholar | Appetite | Insatiable |
+
+Qi Circulation, Lunar Attunement and Second Wind also gain a title at lv 60.
+
+Appended levels all sit **above** each skill's existing top milestone. The
+game's perk tooltip walks the array in order and stops at the first ungranted
+entry, so an out-of-order level hides everything after it — the first attempt
+produced `10,25,50,15,30,40,60,75` and the audit caught it. Reordering the array
+instead would have misaligned the saved flags, so ascending-append is the only
+safe option.
+
+The level gating paces these naturally: at the forest's cap of 20 only the lv-15
+and lv-25 tiers are in reach; the +22s need the endgame caps.
+
+### Renown
+
+A skill that levels on **titles held**, not on xp. Capped at level 10 and
+exempt from the story level cap.
+
+| Level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Titles | 1 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 13 | 20 | 31 | 48 | 74 | 100 |
+
+The first level is immediate and the gaps grow multiplicatively, so the last is
+a collection project — 100 of the 123 titles now in the game.
+
+Gives **+1.5% to all four stats per level**, so +15% at maximum — a generalist
+reward for broad play rather than deep grinding.
+
+Its level is derived, never granted, so it never passes through the xp path at
+all; the cap wrapper also exempts it explicitly. "Hide maxed" judges it by its
+own ceiling of 10 rather than the story cap, or it would vanish from the list
+the moment it matched the current cap.
+
+Title count is read from `ttl` rather than `global.titles.length`, because
+`load()` rebuilds that array and then appends `titlese` to it, which can
+double-count.
+
+`modRenown()` shows the ladder and your progress. Verified: granting titles one
+at a time steps the level at exactly 1, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 31, 48, 74, 100.
+
+Re-audited after all of this: **752 perks, 752 pass**, no dead perks, no throws,
+no level-order problems. Save with everything maxed is 19.3 KB.
+
+### Renown is multiplicative
+
+Each level multiplies every stat by 1.05, compounding, rather than adding a flat
+percentage:
+
+| Level | 1 | 2 | 5 | 10 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| All stats | x1.05 | x1.10 | x1.28 | **x1.63** |
+
+It applies **last** among the permanent effects, so it scales everything
+permanent that came before it rather than a subtotal. Verified: a lv-60 skill
+alone gives 113 STR; with Renown 10 that becomes 184, a ratio of 1.628 against
+an expected 1.05^10 = 1.629.
+
+Worst case measured — endgame with all 100 titles: it mostly buys survivability
+(Long Vigil: die in 27 becomes die in 42) rather than trivialising kills.
+
+### A Renown button
+
+Next to "Recheck clears" in the skill panel. Reports the title ladder with your
+progress, prints how many titles you hold and which are missing (full list to
+the browser console, since 123 names will not fit in the message log), and
+refreshes the list. `modRenown()` and `modTitles()` do the same from the console.
+
+### "Trains faster" replaced with base-game-style perks
+
+The lv 10 perk on each added skill read *"this skill trains +10% faster"* — a
+perk about itself, which is filler next to the base game's "STR +1, New Title".
+Those are now flat stats in the game's own vocabulary:
+
+| Level | Was | Now |
+|---|---|---|
+| 10 | trains +10% faster | `<STAT> +1` |
+| 25 | `<STAT> +3` | unchanged |
+| 50 | `<STAT> +6, HP +25, trains +5% faster` | `<STAT> +6, HP +25` |
+
+**The parent skills keep theirs.** "Every skill in this section trains +10%
+faster" is not self-referential — it is the parent's entire function, and
+replacing it with stats would both gut the section mechanic and add power creep
+across ten more skills. Say the word if you want those changed too.
+
+#### The migration this needed
+
+A character who had already earned the old lv 10 or lv 50 perk keeps its `g`
+flag set, so the new `f()` would never fire — silently losing the old effect and
+never gaining the new one. `MOD_migratePerks()` re-fires exactly those perks
+once per save, gated on a revision number in `global.flags`.
+
+The ordering works out: on a fresh page it runs, sets the flag, and is then
+overwritten by `load()` restoring an older save's flags — so it runs again once,
+after that save's levels are in place. Verified: a lv-55 skill gains +7 (the +1
+and the +6) on the first run, 0 on the second.
+
+## Full perk audit
+
+Every milestone perk in the game — the author's and mine — was checked
+mechanically rather than by eye: snapshot the player's whole state (all flat
+and multiplier stats, exp gain, growth potential, every `mods` and `res` field,
+class defences, every skill's `p`, title count, active effects), fire the
+perk's `f()`, diff, then restore.
+
+**701 perks checked, 701 pass.**
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Mod perks that change nothing | **0** |
+| Perks that throw | **0** |
+| Perks with effects but no description | **0** |
+| Milestone level order / duplicate levels | **0** |
+| Base-game perks that change nothing | **0** |
+
+Three perks do slightly MORE than their text says — all the author's, all
+beneficial, so they under-promise rather than over-promise:
+
+* `shdc` lv10 "HP +30, STR +2, AGL +2, New Title" also gives EXP Gain +5%
+* `pet` lv5 "Energy Effectiveness +1%, New Title" also gives AGL +1
+* `dth` lv10 "Survival EXP Gain +10%, New Title" also gives STR +2
+
+Left as-is: they are the author's text, and erring generous is the safe
+direction.
+
+## Interference checks
+
+| Risk | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Save size with all 183 skills maxed | 18.8 KB — 0.37% of a 5 MB budget |
+| That maximal save loading back | every level and flag intact |
+| Wrapped functions' return values | `skl.fgt.use()` and `skl.twoh.use()` still return numbers to `allbuff`; `stfc.use` intact |
+| Anything copying skill objects (would freeze the desc getters) | none in the codebase |
+| Counter baselines after loading an older save | no phantom xp burst; genuine progress still counts |
+| A capped skill | refuses xp, exp stays 0, `onLevel` correctly does not fire |
+| Game code gating on a skill level | 6 gates; only `skl.ntst.lvl>=12` sits above the level-10 starting cap |
+
+`cansee()` treats Night Sight 12 as a substitute for a light source, so at the
+starting cap you need an actual light in the dark until the cap reaches 15 at
+training completion. A short delay, not a block.
+
+### Two latent problems this turned up
+
+**The `desc` getters had no setter.** `skl.X.desc = '...'` was a silent no-op in
+non-strict code. Nothing in the game does that today — skill descriptions are
+all set at definition time, before the getters install — but a later edit or a
+second mod would have failed invisibly. A setter now replaces the base text and
+keeps the computed lines.
+
+**Three predicates are true essentially always** — playing at all
+(`anyTime`), a season being in progress (`anySeason`), and being awake
+(`awake`). Treating them as "situational" paid them the 2x conditional bonus
+for nothing, and rendered tooltips reading *"active now — only simply by
+playing"*. They now count as unconditional: normal rate, no condition line.
+
+## Parents start at level 1 with 1 exp
+
+### Parent skills from the start, always first in their section
+
+The ten parents now begin at level 1 and are in the list from the first minute,
+so the section structure is visible immediately instead of appearing piecemeal
+as children feed them.
+
+Skills normally only enter `you.skls` when they first level up, and the game's
+`load()` does `for(let ab in skl){skl[ab].lvl=0; skl[ab].exp=0;}` before
+rebuilding the list from the save — so the seed also runs from the tick. A save
+made before this existed gets them added; once seeded and saved they restore
+normally and the re-seed is a no-op. Verified idempotent: twenty re-seeds leave
+the list at ten with no duplicates.
+
+Row names are short (`Combat Discipline`, `Field Discipline`) because the full
+name wrapped to two lines under its own header; the tooltip keeps the full name.
+
+**Ordering.** A section's parent is always the first skill in that section,
+whichever sort is active. The game's A-Z / TPE / LVL buttons call
+`you.skls.sort()` inside their own inline handlers and redraw directly, so
+listeners added after theirs note which button was pressed and re-apply the
+section/parent ordering — the user's chosen sort still applies *within* each
+section. The game only records a direction toggle, not which button, so the
+mode is tracked separately.
+
+Verified: parent first in all ten sections after A-Z, TPE, LVL and a repeat
+A-Z (direction reversed), with rows still index-aligned.
+
+## Balance
+
+Sections 3-7 made the player far stronger than vanilla. Measured by setting
+every skill to the same level in both builds:
+
+| every skill at | STR | INT | HP |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| lv 10 | 2.5x | 3.7x | 1.0x |
+| lv 20 | 7.0x | 12.6x | 1.1x |
+| lv 30 | 22x | 51x | 1.3x |
+
+Offence is exponential (each added skill's percentage applies to a value the
+previous ones already raised); defence is nearly flat.
+
+### Enemies scale on the same curve shape
+
+Enemy stats grow LINEARLY in the base game's `lvlup()`. So enemy power here is
+exponential in the enemy's own level — `base * (1+rate)^lvl` — not a flat
+number and not a live mirror of your stats. Applied through the stat multiplier
+fields (`strm`/`aglm`/`intm`/`hpm`), which `stat_r()` reapplies from base values
+every call, so it is idempotent and cannot accumulate. Speed is deliberately
+left alone so turn order stays fair. Exp reward scales as `M^0.5` so grinding
+still pays.
+
+Existing area level ranges were also raised x1.4, tutorial areas exempt.
+
+### Why player HP had to change too
+
+Enemy-side tuning alone could not work. Sweeping the enemy HP exponent:
+
+| hpPow | skills 30 / enemy 12 | skills 50 / enemy 76 |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1.0 | kill 1, die 14 | kill 5, die 1 |
+| 1.4 | kill 1, die 13 | kill 51, die 1 |
+| 1.7 | kill 1, die 14 | kill 360, die 1 |
+| 2.0 | kill 2, die 14 | kill 2277, die 1 |
+
+"die in 1" at every setting. Across skill levels 10-30 the player's STR grows
+~20x while max HP grows ~1.5x, so any enemy tough enough to survive the
+player's damage necessarily one-shots the player.
+
+Rather than cut the player's damage, max HP now follows offence on the same
+curve, damped by `hpTrack` (0.85). Nothing was weakened.
+
+### Where it landed
+
+| Skills | Area | Enemy lv | Hits to kill | Hits to die |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 10 | Western Woods | 10 | 4 | 49 |
+| 20 | Home Basement | 20 | 5 | 30 |
+| 30 | Deep Woods | 12 | 1 | 71 |
+| 40 | Sunken Hollow | 35 | 3 | 26 |
+| 50 | Ashen Spire | 50 | 2 | 26 |
+| 60 | Long Vigil | 60 | 5 | 14 |
+
+Deep Woods at skills 30 being trivial is correct — you have outgrown it, which
+is what the new areas are for.
+
+These are starting values from a rough model (raw STR vs max HP), not derived
+optima, and they ignore crit, affinities, equipment and resistances. Tune from
+the console:
+
+```js
+modBalance()               // current settings and what they mean
+setEnemyScale(base, rate)  // e.g. setEnemyScale(1.5, 0.05) for an easier ride
+setHpTrack(0.85)           // how strongly your max HP follows your damage
+```
+
+## New areas
+
+Reached from the Western Woods gate — "Follow the old path deeper".
+
+| Area | Enemy levels | Built from |
+|---|---|---|
+| The Sunken Hollow | 30-40 | slimes, wolves, zombies |
+| The Ashen Spire | 45-58 | golems, ghosts |
+| The Long Vigil | 55-68 | greater golems, corpses, unsanctioned |
+
+All three are endless (`size = -1`), like the game's own hunting grounds, and
+use creatures already in the game so there are no new bestiary entries or drop
+tables to get wrong. Location ids 975-978 sit clear of the game's highest (169),
+and the game restores a location on load by scanning `chss` for a matching id,
+so these are found like any other.
+
+The trailhead is linked in by wrapping `chss.frstn1main.sl` rather than editing
+the game's own function.
+
+## Progression level caps
+
+Skills stop gaining xp at a ceiling set by how far you have got in the story.
+This is the thing that keeps everything else bounded — the earlier sections made
+player power exponential in skill level, and the cap turns that into a series of
+finite steps instead of an open curve.
+
+| Cap | Reached by |
+|---|---|
+| 10 | the beginning |
+| 15 | finishing training |
+| 20 | the forest |
+| 30 | deep forest / hunter's lodge |
+| 40 | the catacombs |
+| 50 | golem arena I-II |
+| 60 | golem arena III-IV |
+| 75 | The Sunken Hollow |
+| 90 | The Ashen Spire |
+| 110 | The Long Vigil |
+
+Every one of these is genuinely reachable — see "Balance, seventh pass" for the
+exp curve that makes it so, and the enemy model fitted to it.
+
+Tiers are read from `global.flags`, which the game saves and restores
+(`global.flags = a1.e` on load), so the cap follows the **character**, not the
+browser. Each tier also accepts a base-game flag as a fallback, so a character
+who already cleared that content is not stuck at a low cap. When a skill hits
+the ceiling it says so once, then goes quiet.
+
+`modCaps()` in the console lists the tiers and marks which you have reached.
+
+### Fixed: adopting the cat granted cap 40
+
+The catacombs tier tested `global.flags.catget` and `cat_g`. Those are not the
+catacombs. `catget` is set by *"The cat decided to move into your house"* —
+adopting the pet cat — and `cat_g` by petting it 100 times. Both are available
+early, so any character with a cat jumped straight from cap 20 to cap 40.
+
+A name is not a definition. The catacombs are now detected by actually visiting
+them (`mod_t_cata`, set by the `chss.catamn` / `chss.cata1` hooks).
+
+Two related corrections in the same pass:
+
+* The Hunter's Lodge was treated as "deep forest", but it is one click from the
+  forest gate, so arriving there handed out cap 30 immediately. Deep forest now
+  requires the forest interior (`frstn1a1`, `frstn1a3`, `frstn1a4`, `frstn2a1`,
+  `frstn9a1m`) or the `frstn1a3u` discovery flag.
+* Tiers are now declared as **data** — `{cap, name, flags:[...]}` — rather than
+  closures, so `modCaps()` can report exactly which flag put you on a tier, and
+  the cap line's hover text names it too. That is what makes this class of
+  mistake self-diagnosable instead of needing a code read.
+
+### Fixed: the endgame tiers unlocked on arrival
+
+The Hollow / Spire / Vigil tiers were set by the location's `sl()`, which runs
+when you merely look at the place. Clicking through to The Long Vigil once
+granted cap 110 outright — for an area that kills an unprepared character on
+arrival.
+
+They are now earned by fighting there, and in order:
+
+| Cap | Needs |
+|---|---|
+| 75 | 10 kills in The Sunken Hollow |
+| 90 | 15 kills in The Ashen Spire (after the Hollow) |
+| 110 | 25 kills in The Long Vigil (after the Spire) |
+
+Kills are counted from the game's own `akills` counter while `global.current_z`
+is that area, stored in `global.flags.mod_prog` so they save with the character.
+Verified: kills earned elsewhere do not count, the order cannot be skipped
+(25 Vigil kills with no Hollow progress grants nothing), and progress survives
+save/load.
+
+The old visit flags (`mod_t_hollow`/`spire`/`vigil`) are no longer read, and
+**Recheck clears** deletes them from a save that still carries them.
+
+### The skill sheet header
+
+The cap line now also shows what the next tier wants:
+
+```
+Skill cap 30  Deep forest  (0/20 maxed)
+Next: cap 40 — reach The catacombs
+```
+
+**Recheck clears** button — reports every tier with the reason it is or is not
+met, prints endgame kill progress, clears unearned legacy flags, and
+recalculates the cap. `modClears()` and `modResetCap()` do the same from the
+console.
+
+### Fixed: the list ran under the save bar
+
+The game hard-sets `dom.skcon` to 335px inside `.ctrwinbx`, a fixed box at
+`top:53px`. Adding a control bar above the list pushed the total past the panel.
+The scroll area now shrinks by whatever the bar occupies, recomputed whenever
+the bar's height changes (the "Next:" line appearing or disappearing).
+Verified: 335 = 61 bar + 274 list, and the list's bottom edge lands exactly on
+the panel's.
+
+### Fixed: section headers threw on every tick
+
+Headers were inserted as each row's FIRST child. The game's per-second updater
+reads `children[0]`, `children[1]` and `children[2].children[0]` of every row,
+so that shifted all three and threw a TypeError once a second.
+
+`.skwmmc` is `display:flex`, so the header now sits LAST in the DOM with
+`order:-1; flex:0 0 100%` — it renders above the row while leaving
+`children[0..2]` exactly where the game expects them. Verified: header is the
+last child, renders above, name and xp-bar cells intact, and three seconds of
+the game's updater runs clean.
+
+## 100 more skills
+
+All discovered by playing, same machinery as the nine before them: the game's
+own `global.stat.*` counters (all 44 were checked to be incremented somewhere)
+plus 37 environment predicates — weather, season, moon phase, hour of day,
+health and energy thresholds, indoors/outdoors, in or out of combat.
+
+Families: combat depth, survival, weather, celestial and time, crafting and
+trade, knowledge, food and body, exploration, discipline.
+
+Two things had to be different from the first thirteen:
+
+**Additive, not compounding.** The 13 earlier skills each multiply in sequence,
+which is what produced the runaway curve. Doing that with 100 would be absurd
+(100 skills at +15% compounding is about 1.2 million x). These are summed per
+stat and applied once. Rates are also normalised per stat, so a stat carried by
+6 skills is not six times weaker than one carried by 46.
+
+**Light milestones.** Giving each of the 100 the full tier package — which
+includes stat *multipliers* — produced "kill in 1, die in 4271" against every
+area in the game. They get three modest milestones instead (xp rate, then small
+flat stats).
+
+## Balance, third pass
+
+Adding 100 skills broke the previous tuning, and one structural problem showed
+up: enemy level is capped by area design around 60, while player damage is
+driven by skill level up to 110. No level-keyed enemy curve could catch that —
+`kill in 1` persisted at every rate and HP exponent tried.
+
+So enemy power now has a **story-tier term** as well as its level term. That
+tracks how far you have got, not your live stats — the same progression the
+skill cap reads.
+
+Final numbers (enemy rate 0.05, hpPow 1.6, tierRate 0.045, hpTrack 0.92):
+
+| Cap | Area | Enemy lv | Kill in | Die in |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 10 | Western Woods | 10 | 1 | 107 |
+| 20 | Deep Woods | 12 | 3 | 50 |
+| 40 | Catacombs era | 20 | 1 | 84 |
+| 60 | Golem arena IV | 41 | 2 | 34 |
+| 75 | Sunken Hollow | 35 | 2 | 40 |
+| 90 | Ashen Spire | 50 | 3 | 17 |
+| 110 | Long Vigil | 60 | 14 | 9 |
+
+Difficulty now ramps across the story instead of staying flat. Early fights are
+still fast; the endgame is genuinely dangerous. Still a rough model (raw STR vs
+max HP, ignoring crit, affinities, equipment and resistances) — tune with
+`setEnemyScale()`, `setHpTrack()` and `modBalance()`.
+
+## Balance, fourth pass
+
+Lower player power meant enemies were overtuned, so `tierRate` dropped from
+0.045 to 0.02 and `hpPow` rose to 1.8.
+
+| Cap | Area | Kill in | ...in good conditions | Die in |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 10 | Western Woods | 2 | 2 | 59 |
+| 20 | Deep Woods | 4 | 2 | 40 |
+| 60 | Golem arena IV | 2 | 1 | 32 |
+| 90 | Ashen Spire | 2 | 1 | 25 |
+| 110 | Long Vigil | 6 | 1 | 14 |
+
+Conditions now measurably matter: endgame kills drop from 6 hits to 1 when the
+conditional skills are live, which is the point of them.
+
+## Skill panel: sections, parents, hide-maxed
+
+With 173 skills the flat list was unusable. The panel now has two checkboxes at
+the top — **Hide maxed** and **Group by type** — and the list is split into ten
+sections:
+
+Combat Mastery, Body & Endurance, Fieldcraft, Daily Life, Crafting,
+Resistances, Affinities, Gathering, Upkeep, Companions.
+
+"Hide maxed" hides any skill already at the current story cap, so once a skill
+tops out for this stage it stops taking up space until the cap rises.
+
+### Parent skills
+
+Each section has a parent skill (`<Section> Discipline`, 10 of them). A parent
+earns 3% of everything its children earn. In return it pulls up whichever
+children lag behind it: a child below the parent's level trains **5% faster per
+level it is behind, capped at +100%**. So a neglected skill is cheap to bring
+up once the rest of its section is developed — which is the point of having 183
+of them.
+
+Parents grant no stats. They are pure support, so they add no power creep.
+`modParents()` lists them with their child counts.
+
+### The rendering constraint
+
+Every path in the game that draws the list does:
+
+```js
+for(m=0; m<you.skls.length; m++){ renderSkl(you.skls[m]);
+  if(m===you.skls.length-1) dom.skcon.children[m].style.borderBottom=... }
+```
+
+so `dom.skcon.children[m]` is assumed to line up with `you.skls[m]`. Hidden rows
+are therefore **rendered and then set to `display:none`** rather than skipped,
+and section headers are inserted **inside** the row element rather than as
+siblings. Skipping rows or adding sibling headers makes `children[m]` undefined
+and throws. Verified: row count always equals `you.skls.length`, hidden or not.
+
+The panel is built inside the game's own inline handler on `ct_bt2`, which
+cannot be wrapped — a second listener on the same element runs after it, by
+which point `dom.ctrwin3` and `dom.skcon` exist.
+
+## Live action tooltips
+
+`renderAct` does `addDesc(el, null, 2, a.name, a.desc())` — `desc()` is called
+once, at render time, so action tooltips were a static snapshot. The four action
+descriptions now report the skills they train with current level and cap, e.g.
+
+```
+Sit and guide your energy through its channels
+Exp +0.4/s
+Qi Circulation (lv 7/110, +0.9/tick)
+Meditation (lv 0/110, +0.35/tick)
+Patience (lv 0/110, +0.2/tick)
+```
+
+These refresh whenever the actions panel is reopened, which is when renderAct
+runs again.
+
+### Cost
+
+Measured, since parents now fire on every xp grant: one grant costs 3 internal
+calls (child, parent, overflow) with no runaway; a full tick of all 113
+discovered skills costs 0.14 ms; `allbuff()` costs 0.057 ms per call. Negligible
+even at 20x speed.
+
+## Skill cap shown on the sheet
+
+The skills panel header now reads e.g. `Skill cap 20  The forest  (14/61 maxed)`
+and updates live from the tick hook, so a tier unlock shows immediately rather
+than only when the panel is reopened.
+
+## Effect lines for the previously blank skills
+
+The first pass gave an effect line only to skills whose `use()` returned a value
+traced to a call site, and printed nothing for the rest rather than invent a
+number. Water Absorption was one of those blanks.
+
+Going back through them properly: most of those skills DO have a real effect, it
+just is not expressed through `use()` — they are read directly as `skl.<x>.lvl`
+inside whatever system they belong to. Twenty now have live lines, each quoting
+the formula from the line of game code that uses it:
+
+| Skill | Real effect (from the game's own code) |
+|---|---|
+| Water Absorption | `lose *= 3/(1+lvl*0.03)` — energy drain while wet, ×3 untrained, ×1 by lv 66 |
+| Air Absorption | `d = 200/(1+lvl*0.05)` — lightning strike damage, 200 untrained |
+| Evasion | `...+10-skl.evas.lvl` — enemy hit chance −1% per level |
+| Night Sight | `hit_a*(.3+lvl*0.07)` in darkness — 30% of normal untrained, no penalty at lv 10 |
+| Throwing | `500/(lvl||1)` — throw cooldown in ms |
+| Cooking | `random()+lvl*0.1 >= 0.30` — success chance |
+| Crafting / Patience | `5000-(crft.lvl*350 + ptnc.lvl*150)`, floor 300ms — autocraft time |
+| Disassembly | `am + am*(quality*lvl)` — salvage yield |
+| Perception | `2*(1+lvl*0.2)` — scouting speed |
+| Hunting Sense | `drop.c/75*lvl` — added area drop chance |
+| Dice | `0.3+lvl*0.03` — find chance |
+| Alcohol Tolerance | `agle /= 1+(.4-lvl*.03)`, `stre *= 1+(.2+lvl*.02)` while drunk |
+| Toughness | contributes `lvl*0.11` to the toughness term |
+| Gluttony | `rand(100, 355*(lvl*0.2+1))` — its own xp per meal |
+| Patting | grants a title at lv 10, nothing else |
+
+### Four that genuinely do nothing
+
+**Fire, Earth, Light and Dark Absorption appear nowhere in the game outside
+their own definitions.** They are unimplemented in the base game — their
+descriptions promise "minor protection from fire-based attacks" and so on, but
+no code reads them. Only Water and Air of the six affinities are wired up.
+
+Their tooltips now say so plainly rather than staying silent. They could be
+given real effects, but that would be inventing mechanics rather than reporting
+them, so it is left as a decision to make deliberately.
+
+### One implementation note
+
+`MOD_EFFECTS` is now looked up **per tooltip read** instead of captured when the
+description getter is installed, so effect lines added by later sections apply
+to skills wrapped earlier.
+
+## The four dead affinities now do something
+
+Water and Air were the only two of the six the base game wired up. The other
+four now reduce damage of the kind their own descriptions already claim
+protection from, routed through the game's own `you.res` table rather than a
+parallel system:
+
+| Skill | Reduces | Rate |
+|---|---|---|
+| Fire Absorption | burn damage | 0.8%/level |
+| Earth Absorption | physical damage | 0.8%/level |
+| Light Absorption | blind effects | 0.8%/level |
+| Dark Absorption | curse effects | 0.8%/level |
+
+Capped at −50%, reached around level 62.
+
+`res` values are damage multipliers where lower is better — the base game's own
+perks do exactly this (`you.res.ph -= .01` for "Damage taken −1%").
+
+### The save trap this had to avoid
+
+`you.res` is saved (`res:you.res` in the save object), so mutating it bakes the
+reduction into the save file. Re-applying on load would stack the bonus on top
+of itself, compounding every time you loaded.
+
+So the amount applied is tracked in `global.flags`, which is saved alongside it.
+On load both come back consistent and the reconciliation subtracts only the
+difference. Verified across two full save/load cycles: resistances hold at
+0.928 and do not drift.
+
+`modResetAffinities()` removes everything the mod took off `you.res`, for
+going back to vanilla cleanly.
+
+## Collapsible skill groups
+
+Click a section header to fold it. The arrow flips between ▾ and ▸, and each
+header shows its skill count and how many are maxed:
+
+```
+▾ Combat Mastery (12, 3 maxed)
+▸ Resistances (9)
+```
+
+Same `children[m]` constraint as before, so a collapsed section keeps its rows
+in the DOM: the first row stays visible to carry the header with its own
+content hidden, and the rest go to `display:none`. Row count still equals
+`you.skls.length`. Verified: collapsing takes 9 visible rows to 7, all four
+headers stay on screen, and expanding restores exactly 9.
+
+This supersedes the section 11 render wrapper by re-wrapping the original
+directly — stacking on top of it would have drawn every header twice.
+
+## Balance, fifth pass — the xp curve is the real limiter
+
+The previous passes were tuned against a scenario that cannot happen. I had
+been fitting enemies to "every skill at the level cap", i.e. skills at level
+110 in the endgame. The game's own experience curve makes that unreachable:
+
+```
+expnext = 50 + (lvl+1)^log(9*lvl+1)
+```
+
+Total experience to reach a level from scratch:
+
+| level | total exp |
+|---|---|
+| 1  | 51 |
+| 5  | 716 |
+| 10 | 47,986 |
+| 15 | 1,151,201 |
+| 20 | 13,647,481 |
+| 25 | 104,775,357 |
+
+A passive skill earns roughly 0.2 exp per tick with this mod's 2x multiplier,
+so at 1x game speed:
+
+| hours played | level reached |
+|---|---|
+| 1     | 5 |
+| 10    | 7 |
+| 50    | 9 |
+| 200   | 11 |
+| 1000  | 14 |
+
+So the level cap is a *ceiling*, not a target. Realistic play sits around
+level 10 in the woods and level 20-22 by the endgame — an order of magnitude
+below what I had assumed. Enemies fitted to level 110 skills were, at
+attainable levels, killing the player in one to three hits everywhere past
+the catacombs (Golem arena IV: kill in 227 hits, die in 3; Long Vigil: kill in
+4,962, die in 1).
+
+Retuned `MOD_ENEMY` against attainable levels instead:
+
+```js
+base:     4       // flat multiplier at level 1   (was 5)
+rate:     0.02    // compounding per enemy level   (was 0.05)
+hpPow:    1.1     // enemy HP uses M^hpPow         (was 1.8)
+tierRate: 0.008   // extra growth per story cap    (was 0.02)
+```
+
+Verified across every tier at the skill levels players actually reach:
+
+| cap | area | skills | your STR | enemy HP | hits to kill | hits to die | with max Renown |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 10  | Western Woods  | 10 | 850  | 1,400  | 2  | 42 | 2 / 65 |
+| 20  | Deep Woods     | 14 | 1,392 | 3,583 | 3  | 19 | 2 / 29 |
+| 40  | Catacombs      | 17 | 2,111 | 915   | 1  | 20 | 1 / 30 |
+| 60  | Golem arena IV | 19 | 2,615 | 14,266 | 6 | 11 | 4 / 18 |
+| 75  | Sunken Hollow  | 20 | 3,722 | 23,330 | 7 | 7  | 4 / 11 |
+| 90  | Ashen Spire    | 21 | 4,122 | 12,361 | 3 | 7  | 2 / 11 |
+| 110 | Long Vigil     | 22 | 4,557 | 44,868 | 10 | 5 | 7 / 7  |
+
+The shape is what you want from a difficulty ramp: the early woods are very
+forgiving (42 hits of margin), the endgame is genuinely tight (5 hits), and
+nothing is ever unwinnable. Renown at level 10 is worth roughly a 50% margin
+increase, which makes it valuable without being mandatory.
+
+If you want it harder or easier, the four numbers above are live in the
+console: `MOD_ENEMY.rate = 0.03` and so on, effective on the next enemy
+generated.
+
+## Balance, sixth pass — consolidating the discovered skills
+
+The "100 more skills" set had done its job — broad play surfaces skills — but
+100 of them was more than the panel, the tooltips or a player could hold. This
+pass folds them down to **10** and re-checks the curve. (It got there in
+stages: a first cut to 45, then 28, then this.)
+
+### Same effect, fewer entries
+
+Each survivor absorbs a family of near-duplicates and takes the **sum** of the
+group's per-level `pct`, so the continuous effect available per stat is
+unchanged to the digit.
+
+| stat | per-level % total | of which permanent | conditional | skills: was → now |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| STR | 5.896 | 3.014 | 2.882 | 34 → 3 |
+| INT | 7.766 | 4.906 | 2.860 | 46 → 5 |
+| AGL | 2.618 | 0.946 | 1.672 | 14 → 1 |
+| SPD | 1.056 | 0.528 | 0.528 | 6 → 1 |
+
+The ten: **Killing Intent** and **Mortality** carry STR-permanent; **Grit** is
+all of STR-conditional; **Making**, **Study** and **Wisdom** split
+INT-permanent; **Storm Sense** and **New Moon** split INT-conditional;
+**Reflexes** is all of AGL; **Ranging** is all of SPD. Each row in `MOD_EXTRA`
+carries a trailing `// + key, key` naming what it absorbed.
+
+**Two compromises at this size:**
+
+* AGL and SPD have no flagship key, so their *conditional* budget (1.672 and
+  0.528 %/level) is folded into the AGL/SPD *permanent* flagship (Reflexes /
+  Ranging) and applied as permanent. The per-stat total is held exactly; what
+  changes is that footwork/stealth/nerve and flight/long-march now pay out
+  always at ×1 rather than only-when-active at ×2 — roughly the same value over
+  a session, a different feel. The perm/cond split is still exact for STR/INT.
+* Only **10 of the 12 flagship** keys survive. `apet` (→ *Insatiable*) and
+  `pthf` (→ *Wayfinder*) were folded into other skills, so those two lv-55→75
+  title tiers are dropped from `MOD_FLAGSHIP`. The titles stay defined in `ttl`
+  but are no longer earnable that way. The other ten flagships are untouched.
+* `stmw` and `nwmn` had their predicates widened (`storm` → `outdoors`,
+  `newmoon` → `nightOutdoors`) so their now-large budgets actually apply during
+  normal play.
+
+### The light-tier flats, doubled
+
+`MOD_lightTiers` grants `<STAT> +N` at lv 10 / 25 / 50 — and that flat
+contribution scales with the *number* of these skills, not their `pct`. At 100
+skills it added up to real numbers; at 10 it barely registers. The values are
+doubled (`+2 / +6 / +12`, was `+1 / +3 / +6`) to keep it in range. Even so the
+player is a little weaker at attainable levels than at 100 skills, which shows
+up as a slightly grindier endgame — see the table below.
+
+### Old saves still load
+
+The first cut renumbered the survivors 1001–1045. That is exactly the wrong
+move: `load()` in `index.html` restores each skill's **level and milestone
+flags by matching `id`** (`a6[a].id === skl[b].id`), so renumbering makes every
+old id collide with a *different* skill — and where a v1 flagship skill (7
+milestone slots) landed on a v2 three-slot skill, the flag restore ran off the
+end of the array and threw, taking the whole load down to the game's
+"SOMETHING BROKE" screen.
+
+So **every survivor keeps its original v1 id** and the id list is just gappy
+now (1001, 1013, 1025, 1035, 1044, 1056, 1077, 1092, 1096, 1097). A v1 save
+then loads under v2 with:
+
+* every base-game skill's level, exp, `p` and perks **exact** — those ids and
+  save positions are unchanged;
+* every *surviving* discovered skill's level and milestone flags **exact** —
+  same id, and the milestone array is byte-identical (`MOD_lightTiers` plus,
+  for flagships, the same four appended tiers);
+* merged-away skills simply not restored — their `a6` entry finds no matching
+  `id` and is skipped. Their progress is gone, which is the point of a merge.
+
+The one imperfect part is `a7`, the *positional* `[exp, p]` array. It aligns
+through every base skill, the four actions, the nine section-7 skills and the
+ten parents — divergence only starts inside the consolidated block. Past that
+point an added skill gets some other added skill's `exp` (the progress bar,
+recomputed on the next xp tick) and its `p` — which is the constructor default
+`1` on every mod-added skill, since the mod never writes `p` (its perks work
+off milestone `g` flags, see section 8). Swapping 1 for 1 is a no-op.
+
+`tests/savecompat.mjs` captures a real save from the 100-skill build —
+including a level-60 flagship (`mrtl`, exercising the 7-slot restore) and
+several merged-away skills — loads it under the current build and asserts the
+load does not throw, the error screen never shows, `ontick()` survives, and
+every check above holds.
+
+`MOD.version` is `2.0` to mark the shape change; nothing enforces it in code.
+
+The light-tier milestone flats (`STAT +1 / +3 / +6` at lv 10 / 25 / 50) now
+total less simply because there are fewer skills to grant them — about +45
+flat STR at a full low-cap clear instead of +100. Against 800–4,500 STR at
+attainable levels that is under 1%, and it was left alone; the headline
+per-level effect is what "keep the stat gains" was about, and that is exact.
+
+### The curve did not move
+
+`realbal` several times over, at each stage, at the skill levels players
+actually reach (medians; RNG noise is roughly ±30%):
+
+| cap | area | 100 skills k/d | 28 skills k/d | 10 skills k/d |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 10  | Western Woods  | 2 / 39 | 2 / 35 | 2 / 45 |
+| 20  | Deep Woods     | 4 / 22 | 3 / 20 | 5 / 21 |
+| 40  | Catacombs era  | 2 / 22 | 2 / 28 | 2 / 23 |
+| 60  | Golem arena IV | 7 / 10 | 7 / 11 | 8 / 10 |
+| 75  | Sunken Hollow  | 4 / 9  | 6 / 7  | 6 / 7  |
+| 90  | Ashen Spire    | 5 / 7  | 5 / 7  | 6 / 9  |
+| 110 | Long Vigil     | 9 / 5  | 9 / 6  | 13 / 6 |
+
+The continuous effect is balance-neutral by construction — each survivor's
+`pct` is the exact sum of what it absorbed, so the aggregate at a given skill
+level is identical. What drifts is the flat contribution: with only 3 STR
+skills instead of 34, the `MOD_lightTiers` `+N` milestones add far less, so the
+player is ~4–6% weaker at attainable levels. That is why the 10-skill endgame
+is grindier — `kill 13` at the Long Vigil against `kill 9` before. Everywhere
+else stays in the healthy band (`die` never below 5, no coin-flips); the
+endgame is slower, not unwinnable.
+
+`sweep5` over `rate` × `hpPow`, plus a `tierRate` sweep, both put the current
+`MOD_ENEMY` (`base 4, rate 0.02, hpPow 1.1, tierRate 0.008`) at the best point
+for those targets. Loosening `tierRate` only pulls the deliberately-tight
+endgame (die 5 at the Vigil is by design) further from intent. **No dial was
+changed.**
+
+### Tests
+
+Four scripts used a single mod skill (`bstl`, then `exmn`) as their slow-skill
+stand-in for the xp curve; each round of merging swallowed it. It now points at
+`skl.wsdm` — a flagship, so it can never be merged away — in `realbal`,
+`fullbal`, `audit2` and `settings-boxes`.
+
+New script `savecompat.mjs` (with a captured fixture under `tests/fixtures/`)
+loads a pre-consolidation save into the current build — see "Old saves still
+load" above.
+
+Full suite green: audit 474/474, audit2 structural checks pass, the three
+balance scripts, the economy and settings-box checks, and `savecompat` all
+clean. A live character (level 29) loaded under the 28-skill build with every
+level, perk and title intact, its skill list down from 103 to 87; the 10-skill
+build takes it further, to the low 70s.
+
+## Balance, seventh pass — a reachable level 110
+
+### The finding: the cap ladder was fiction
+
+`tests/capreach.mjs` (new) measures the game's own exp curve against the xp a
+skill actually receives through the mod's grant path. Under the base game's
+
+    expnext = round(50 + (lvl+1) ^ ln(9*lvl+1))
+
+the ladder above ~20 could never be climbed:
+
+| cap | total xp to reach it | at 1x | at 20x speed |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 10  | 47,986   | 0.1 h | — |
+| 20  | 1.36e7   | 1.6 days | 1.9 h |
+| 40  | 1.08e10  | 3.4 years | 62 days |
+| 60  | 8.47e11  | 268 years | 13 years |
+| 110 | **1.08e15** | **343,000 years** | **17,200 years** |
+
+…and that is with the *fastest* skill in the mod. The curve is
+super-exponential: the single step 109 → 110 costs 1.16e14 xp, more than every
+level beneath it combined. No multiplier reaches that — a 1000x xp boost still
+leaves the top cap 17 years out. The first attempt at a fix shrank the ladder to
+10..22 to match what was attainable; that is preserved in `epow` (below) but was
+then superseded by fixing the curve itself.
+
+### The fix: a geometric curve
+
+Skills are re-curved in section 19 to
+
+    expnext = round(base * ratio ^ lvl)      // MOD_XP: base 50, ratio 1.106
+
+`ratio` is set so a steadily-ticking skill reaches level 110 in about six months
+of real time at 1x. Only skills are re-curved; `you.expnext` (character level) is
+the base game's own progression and is untouched. Because the base game assigns
+`expnext` inside the `Skill` constructor rather than on a prototype, the override
+is installed per instance over `skl` at load, and `expnext_t` is recomputed.
+
+Measured time for each skill to reach 110, at its own xp rate:
+
+| skill | xp/tick | to 110 @1x | @20x |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Mortality | 100.0 | 3.5 days | 4.3 h |
+| Study | 32.0 | 11 days | 13 h |
+| Killing Intent / Wisdom | 14.4 | 25 days | 1.2 days |
+| New Moon | 2.4 | **4.9 months** | 7.4 days |
+| Storm Sense | 1.8 | **6.5 months** | 9.9 days |
+| Grit | 1.6 | **7.3 months** | 11 days |
+
+The counter-driven skills are quoted at their per-tick cap, which needs sustained
+maximal activity; the three predicate-driven ones tick steadily on their own and
+bracket the six-month target. The shape puts most of the climb in the last two
+tiers — cap 60 arrives in under an hour of that budget, cap 90 at 11 h, and the
+final stretch to 110 is the rest of the six months.
+
+`modXpCurve()` prints the ladder; `setXpCurve(ratio, base)` retunes it live.
+
+> **Since v4.2:** the curve is the author's own formula below level 10, then a
+> ratio (~1.029) solved so 0 → 110 takes the same time as this one did at its 2x
+> multiplier. The cap-60-in-an-hour shape described above is gone — the time is
+> spread evenly. `setXpCurve({vanillaTo: n})` replaces `setXpCurve(ratio, base)`.
+> See "Measured against the original game".
+
+### Monsters had to be re-derived, not re-dialled
+
+With 110 genuinely reachable, `tests/tierfit.mjs` (new) measures the player at
+each tier with every skill sitting at that tier's cap:
+
+| cap | STR | max HP |
+|---|---|---|
+| 10  | 651 | 2,920 |
+| 40  | 46,017 | 20,600 |
+| 110 | 3,878,659 | 198,303 |
+
+**STR grows 5,958x across the ladder; max HP only 68x.** The old enemy model
+multiplied STR/AGL/INT by one `M` and HP by `M^hpPow` — a single curve with a
+fixed exponent, which cannot track two curves that far apart. Every cell of the
+sweep failed somewhere: tune it so the endgame stops one-shotting you and the
+early game becomes unkillable, tune it back and the reverse.
+
+> **Superseded by the eighth pass.** Everything from here to the end of this
+> section describes a model that was replaced. It was fitted against the ratios
+> `enemyHP/playerSTR` and `playerHP/enemySTR`, and those proxies ignore the fact
+> that `dmg_calc` subtracts the defender's STR — so the numbers below do not
+> describe fights that were actually happening. Kept as the record of how the
+> mistake was made.
+
+So the offence and HP sides got **independent per-tier rates**:
+
+| dial | drives | fitted to |
+|---|---|---|
+| `strTier` 0.024 | enemy STR / AGL / INT | the player's max HP growth |
+| `hpTier` 0.076 | enemy max HP | the player's STR growth |
+
+`hpTier` is the larger by roughly the ratio of those two growth curves, which is
+why one exponent could never do it. Both are per point of `epow` — the tier's own
+exponent, never the cap number, so the ladder stays independent of difficulty.
+`base` rose 4 → 12 and `hpPow` sits at 1.0, since the tier dimension is now
+`hpTier`'s job. Grid-searched over `base` x `strTier` x `hpTier` against a
+fitness score wanting `kill` in [3,12] and `die` in [8,25] at every tier.
+
+### Where it landed
+
+Skills at the cap, neutral conditions, no titles:
+
+| cap | area | kill / die | with conditions | with Renown 10 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 10  | Western Woods  |  3 / 18 | 2 | 2 / 28 |
+| 20  | Deep Woods     |  6 / 10 | 2 | 4 / 16 |
+| 40  | Catacombs era  |  1 / 21 | 1 | 1 / 33 |
+| 60  | Golem arena IV |  3 / 16 | 1 | 2 / 24 |
+| 75  | Sunken Hollow  |  4 / 12 | 1 | 2 / 19 |
+| 90  | Ashen Spire    |  4 / 16 | 1 | 3 / 25 |
+| 110 | Long Vigil     | 13 / 10 | 1 | 8 / 16 |
+
+The column that matters is `die`: **10–22 at every tier**, across a ladder where
+the player's damage multiplies by nearly six thousand. That is what "monsters
+stay on par" means in practice — the fights keep their shape while both sides'
+absolute numbers run away together.
+
+`kill` sags to 1–4 in the middle. Those are areas whose enemy *level* is low for
+the tier by the base game's own design (Forest-far at level 7, the Catacombs at
+20) — places you have outgrown, which earlier passes already treat as correct.
+The tier-appropriate endgame is a real fight at 13 hits, and the conditional
+skills still pay for themselves by cutting it hard.
+
+## Two places, both of which the game was already pointing at
+
+The mod had spent a lot of sections adding systems and none adding world. These
+are the two places the game itself had already gestured at.
+
+### The catacombs, finished and unreachable
+
+26 locations exist, fully written, with their own ambient text table and a
+bestiary entry for the ghouls that says they live there. `grep catamn` returns
+three hits: its definition, its own handler, and one `smove(chss.catamn)` from
+*inside* `cata1` going back. Nothing links in. Its own exit leads to the Village
+Center, which is where the entrance was always meant to be.
+
+So the entrance is one `chs()` there — the same trick the Old Path trailhead
+uses. **Not a word of the content is the mod's**; the entrance is the whole
+change, and `tests/places.mjs` asserts that (`mod_cata*` keys: zero).
+
+It has to be gated, and not for flavour. Visiting sets `mod_t_cata`, which is
+the cap-40 rung in `MOD_TIERS` — the rung that has been dead all along precisely
+because nothing could reach it. An open door would hand a fresh character cap 40
+straight out of the tutorial, past the forest's 20 and the deep forest's 30.
+Gated on `mod_t_deep`, the rung below it, so the ladder keeps its order:
+
+    forest 20  ->  deep forest 30  ->  catacombs 40  ->  golem arena 50
+
+That is the general rule for any new area that sets a tier flag, and it is now
+in CLAUDE.md.
+
+### The Pill Tower, which the author started
+
+On the Village Center, in the author's own file:
+
+```js
+//  chs('"=> Visit Pill Tower"',false).addEventListener('click',()=>{
+//    smove(chss.pltwr1);
+//  });
+```
+
+The choice was written and commented away; `chss.pltwr1` was never built. An
+alchemists' tower is exactly what a cultivation game wants and exactly what this
+mod was missing, so this builds it rather than inventing a different shopfront —
+completing their intention instead of imposing mine.
+
+It is `chss.mod_pltwr`, **not** `chss.pltwr1`: if the author ever finishes
+theirs, the two must not collide. The test checks `chss.pltwr1` is still
+undefined.
+
+It carries its own vendor with the grades a village herbalist cannot source
+(realms 6-10, plus the Sublime and Transcendent Spirit Pills), and a spirit
+vein you can sit in once a day for Qi Circulation exp that scales with your
+realm — somewhere for cultivation to *go*, which the ladder otherwise entirely
+lacked. Gated on having a realm at all: they do not let mortals past the door,
+which is the genre's own snobbery and gives the realm ladder a presence in the
+world rather than only on the character sheet.
+
+## The catacombs are unreachable in the base game
+
+`mod_t_cata` gates the cap-40 rung, and it is set by hooking `chss.catamn` /
+`chss.cata1`. Those hooks can never fire, because **there is no way into the
+catacombs**.
+
+The content is all there: `catamn` ("Catacombs, The Entryway") plus `cata1` to
+`cata25` — 26 written locations with their own ambient text table
+(`global.text.catasound`), ghouls whose bestiary entry says "Ghouls lurk in the
+Catacombs", and an exit back to the Village Center. What is missing is the way
+in. Grepping the whole game for `catamn` returns exactly three hits: its own
+definition, its own `sl()`, and one `smove(chss.catamn)` from *inside* `cata1`
+going back to the entryway. Every `smove(chss.cata*)` in the file sits between
+lines 12917 and 13223 — that is, inside the catacombs themselves. Nothing
+outside links in, and there is no dynamic `chss['cata'+n]` lookup either.
+
+So it is finished-but-unwired content, the same category as the `dfl` sell-back
+rates, the four dead affinities and `enmondren` — all of which this mod switched
+on. The catacombs are the one such thing still dark.
+
+Consequence for the ladder: the cap-40 tier can never be earned, so it is simply
+skipped — golem arena I-II sets cap 50 on its own and `MOD_levelCap()` takes the
+highest tier met. Nothing is blocked, but that rung is decorative. Wiring an
+entrance (one `chs()` on the Village Center, the same trick the Old Path
+trailhead uses) would light up 26 locations and the missing rung; not done
+unprompted, because it adds a route the base game never offered.
+
+## The added areas wait for the base game to finish
+
+The Sunken Hollow, The Ashen Spire and The Long Vigil used to hang off the
+Western Woods gate from the first minute, and the trailhead listed all three at
+once. Level caps were earned by fighting there, but the *doors* were open long
+before the areas were survivable.
+
+Now the whole branch is gated on the base game being done:
+
+* The **trailhead itself** is not drawn on the Western Woods gate until
+  `global.flags.trne4e1` — golem arena IV cleared, the deepest normal content
+  the base game has. The dojo chain gates arenas I → II → III → IV on each
+  other and `area.trne4.onEnd` sets the flag and grants a title, so it is a real
+  end-of-content marker rather than a flag that happens to be lying around.
+* Inside the trailhead the three open **in order**, on the same kill counts that
+  already govern their caps: the Hollow immediately, the Spire after 10 kills in
+  the Hollow, the Vigil after 15 in the Spire. An area and its cap now unlock at
+  the same moment instead of the area being walkable far ahead of it.
+* While an area is shut the trailhead says so and shows progress
+  ("choked with fallen rock (3/10 cleared in The Sunken Hollow)").
+
+One trap worth recording: those hint lines must be `chs(text, false, 'grey')`,
+not `true`. `chs(txt, true)` calls `clr_chs()` — it is the "first line of a
+location" form — so passing `true` silently wiped every choice drawn above it,
+including the Hollow. `tests/areagate.mjs` caught it immediately.
+
+`tests/areagate.mjs` drives the real `sl()` handlers and reads the rendered
+choices: trailhead hidden before the arena, shown after, only the Hollow
+offered, Spire after the Hollow, Vigil after the Spire, and the caps
+(60 → 75 → 90 → 110) tracking the doors exactly.
+
+## Balance, eighth pass — the enemy model was scaling the wrong fields
+
+Checking the early game turned up a tutorial that could not be won, and pulling
+that thread found the whole ladder was broken in the same way.
+
+### What was measured
+
+The first fight of the game, through the game's own `dmg_calc` and `hit_calc`:
+
+| | player | straw dummy |
+|---|---|---|
+| STR | 1 | 24 |
+| HP | 39 | 225 |
+
+Player hit chance 12%. **99% of the hits that landed dealt zero damage.** 63,000
+swings to kill it; it killed the player in 1. With the mod's scaling switched
+off the same fight reads **15 swings to kill, 15 to die** — the base game's own,
+perfectly reasonable opener.
+
+Then the rest of the ladder, skills sitting at each tier's cap:
+
+```
+ tier area              you STR    enemy STR      kill    die
+    0 Tutorial              265           26         1  never
+    1 W forest grind        686          231         4  never
+    3 Southern forest     9,966        1,052         1      1
+    6 Golem arena IV    370,119        3,379         1      1
+    9 Long Vigil      4,123,672       25,014         1      1
+```
+
+Tier 3 onward was a mutual one-shot: whoever swung first won.
+
+### Why
+
+`dmg_calc` is subtractive in both directions:
+
+```
+you hit it :  (your STR * eff + weapon) * affinity  -  its STR   + 1
+it hits you:   its STR * affinity  -  (your STR * eff + armour)
+```
+
+The defender's STR **is** their armour. The old model multiplied `strm` (and
+`aglm`, and `intm`) by one number and `hpm` by another. Multiplying an enemy's
+STR raises its offence and its armour together, and the moment its armour passes
+your STR your damage does not get small, it clamps to zero. `aglm` fails the
+same way from the other side: it is the denominator of `hit_calc(1)`, so scaling
+it drops your hit chance exactly as fast as it raises theirs.
+
+The `die: 10–22` in the seventh-pass notes came from the ratio
+`playerHP / enemySTR`. That proxy ignores the subtraction, the affinity and
+class multipliers, and the crit path; real incoming damage ran 10–20× higher.
+The `base × strTier × hpTier` grid search had been optimising a number that did
+not correspond to a fight.
+
+Also worth recording: `MOD_AREA_EXEMPT` exempts the tutorial areas from the
+level-range scaling, with a comment about not walling off the early game. It
+never did that — `MOD_scaleEnemy` runs from `lvlup` regardless of area, so the
+dummies got the full 12× stat multiplier anyway.
+
+### Three fields, three questions
+
+A fight is three things, and they now have three fields with no crosstalk:
+
+| question | field |
+|---|---|
+| how long it takes to kill | `hpm` |
+| how fast it kills you | `_modDmg`, applied in the `dmg_calc` wrapper |
+| how often either side lands | `aglm`, solved for a target hit rate |
+
+Enemy STR is left at its base-game value (`MOD_ENEMY.armor`, which exists so
+that stays visible). Threat is delivered without touching armour.
+
+### Nothing is replicated, everything is measured
+
+The first attempt replicated both branches of `dmg_calc` so a spawn could be
+solved analytically. Two things killed it.
+
+It is **ill-conditioned**. Enemy damage is `attack − your defence`, and late on
+your defence dwarfs the damage the subtraction is meant to leave behind — STR
+4.1M against a target of 56k. A 2% error in the replica is a 150% error in the
+result.
+
+And the base game's defence term **goes negative**. Its last multiplier is
+
+```
+(100 - (eqp[1].aff[atype]*5*(1+shdc/20) + target.cls[ctype]*5*(1+shdc/20)))/100
+```
+
+`shdc` at level 110 makes that bracket 6.5, and `eqp.dummy` — the single item
+object every unequipped slot *and every monster in the game* shares — has your
+unarmed progression written into it by `lvlup` (`aff[0] = you.lvl/5`,
+`cls[2] = you.lvl/4`). At character level 92 the multiplier is **−12.3**, so
+your defence is *added* to the enemy's damage. A level 59 golem with 57 STR hit
+for 190 million. No attack-stat dial can correct for a term of the wrong sign.
+
+That same shared object is why enemies carry a hidden ~2.1× multiplier on their
+own attacks by character level 20, which the first analytic version also missed.
+
+So nothing is replicated. Each spawn runs the game's real `dmg_calc` a handful
+of times in both directions and is scaled against what came out. `MOD_probe`
+parks the side effects while that happens: `dmg_calc` grants skill xp, sets the
+crit flag and jiggles a DOM node, none of which may fire because a monster
+walked into the room. `giveSkExp` is swapped locally rather than flag-guarded,
+because other sections wrap it too and this must not depend on load order.
+
+The wrapper then treats the game's raw number as a **shape, not a magnitude**:
+divide by a slow EMA of what this creature has been doing, multiply by the
+target. The game's variance and its crits survive; the sign and size of the raw
+number stop mattering. Zeros are excluded from the average — early on the raw
+number is zero on most swings, and letting those in drags the mean to nothing,
+after which every landed hit reads as a huge ratio and clips against the ceiling.
+A ratio with a moving denominator is also biased upward, so the shape is damped
+toward 1 by 0.6 before use.
+
+**The honest cost:** your defensive stats no longer change how hard you are hit.
+Targeting a fixed number of swings-to-die already implied that — more armour
+would only have meant a bigger enemy attack — and the base game's defence math
+is not usable at these skill levels regardless. Offence is untouched: enemy HP
+is set from your real measured damage, so hitting harder still kills faster.
+
+### Anchored to the player, shaped by the area
+
+The targets are ratios, solved per spawn against the player's current power
+rather than fitted to a level. That is not a preference: within tier 0 alone the
+player goes from STR 1 to STR ~265, a 265× swing, and no fixed multiplier
+survives it.
+
+Variety comes from two places. Each spawn is measured against the mean level of
+the population it came from, so a lv 24 bat in a 14–24 basement is genuinely
+harder than a lv 14 one. And each creature keeps its own `stat_p` character —
+the base game's per-creature growth rates, the one thing that says a wolf hits
+harder than a slime. The HP side gets a wide band (0.6–1.8) and the damage side
+a narrow one (0.75–1.35) on purpose: a tanky creature with triple HP reads as
+character, the same spread on damage decides whether a fight is survivable. The
+golems have low `stat_p[1]` in particular, and an unclamped damage band left
+every arena boss and most of the endgame hitting at 0.6×.
+
+Two things were found only by measuring:
+
+**The dials have to be two-sided.** Flooring every multiplier at 1, so nothing
+could come out weaker than vanilla, sounded safe and was not. A lv 3 straw dummy
+has 21 HP and 4 STR; a lv 2 character with 4 STR does 1 damage a swing against
+it. 21 swings to kill while dying in 15 — and the floor was what prevented the
+fix. Accuracy needed the same treatment: flooring `aglm` had early enemies
+landing 60% of their swings against a 39 HP character instead of the 45% asked
+for.
+
+**Band and identity compound in the same direction.** Both push the top of a
+level range toward more HP *and* more damage, so at the top of a wide band they
+multiply into a fight lost by construction — kill 19, die 12 for a lv 12 rabbit
+in a 5–12 area. `MOD_ENEMY.margin` is the floor under that: whatever the spread
+does, killing always takes meaningfully fewer swings than dying.
+
+Arena bosses get their own pair of factors. A protected, size-1, one-creature
+area is one of the four golem trials; left to the general rules they came out as
+the softest fights in the game, since a single-enemy area gets no level spread
+to make up for the golems' low `stat_p[1]`.
+
+### Where it lands
+
+Targets `kill: 8, die: 20, hit: 0.45, margin: 1.7`. Every tier from the tutorial
+to cap 110, every creature in each area at both ends of its level band:
+
+```
+ tier area              kill lo-hi    die lo-hi
+    0 Tutorial               8-8         22-22
+    0 Western forest        5-12         18-27
+    1 W forest grind        6-12         17-25
+    2 Basement               5-7         16-20
+    3 Southern forest       4-13         16-17
+    4 Golem arena I        12-12         19-19
+    6 Golem arena IV         9-9         19-19
+    7 Sunken Hollow         4-12         16-20
+    9 Long Vigil             4-9         18-28
+```
+
+Whiff is 0% everywhere. The opening route with a genuinely fresh character —
+levelled by the game's own `lvlup`, no titles, nothing equipped — is winnable at
+every step, with the first tutorial fight at kill 12–13 against die 14–15, which
+is within a swing of the base game's own 15/15.
+
+### Tests
+
+`tests/earlybal.mjs` walks the opening route and fails on any matchup that is a
+loss (`kill >= die`), a slog (over 60 swings), or a whiff-fest. `BASELINE=1`
+disables the mod's scaling so the base game's numbers come through the same
+harness — which is how the original claim was verified rather than assumed.
+`tests/combat.mjs` does the whole ladder the same way.
+
+### Does it hold for the whole game?
+
+`tests/allareas.mjs` answers that rather than assuming it: every area (21),
+every creature in each, both ends of its level band, against all ten story-tier
+player states, in three skill builds — the base game's skills alone, the mod's
+added skills alone, and both together. **2,490 matchups, all winnable.**
+
+> **Since v4.3:** 31 areas and a fourth build with every section folded —
+> **3,720 matchups**.
+
+The three builds are the check on the added skills specifically. They are 99% of
+the player's STR by cap 110 (73 / 63 / 265 at cap 10; 22,929 / 68,793 /
+4,105,291 at cap 110), so if the enemy model were fitted to a curve rather than
+measured off the player, the builds could not possibly read alike. They do:
+kill 1-21, die 14 to never, in all three. The cross product is the point —
+the model anchors to the player's power at spawn, so `kill < die` has to hold
+for any player in any area, a level 1 character wandering into the Long Vigil
+included. Failures concentrated at the extremes would mean the anchor was
+leaking.
+
+Three things only the exhaustive run found, and the first was in the harness.
+
+**The tests were leveling the player while measuring it.** `dmg_calc` grants
+skill exp — `seye` on a crit, the affinity skills on incoming damage — and the
+sweep calls it tens of thousands of times. Across 830 matchups that drift was
+enough to move max HP 2.5x between a spawn and the measurement of the same
+matchup, which read as a balance failure (`die` collapsing to 5) and was not.
+`MOD_scaleEnemy` already parks `giveSkExp` for exactly this reason; the scripts
+now do the same through a `quiet()` helper. Worth remembering before writing any
+new probe against this game.
+
+`killT` needed a ceiling. `band` and `stat_p` multiply, and at the top of a wide
+band with a tanky creature they reached 2.5x the target — a 20-swing chip-fest —
+and the margin computed off that number then had to make the enemy nearly
+harmless to compensate.
+
+And the **kill side needed a better estimator, not more samples.** With the guarantee
+in place, one matchup in about a thousand still came out a loss, and
+instrumenting a failing case (`_modKillT` / `_modDieT` are on the creature for
+exactly this) separated the two cleanly: `dieT` 17.8 against a realised die of
+18, ratio 1.000 — the damage wrapper is exact — while `killT` 9.43 came out as a
+realised kill of 19. Enemy HP is set directly from a sampled mean and nothing
+downstream corrects it, so a 2x overestimate is a 2x longer fight. The incoming
+side self-corrects through the wrapper's moving average; the outgoing side does
+not.
+
+Raising the sample count 24 -> 64 only moved the failure rate to about one spawn
+in 25,000, because the estimator was wrong rather than short. The distribution
+is not one spread, it is two tight clusters — a normal swing varies by
+randf(.9,1.1), a crit runs ~8x that — and nearly all the variance of a sample
+mean is just how many crits happened to land. So `MOD_meanDamage` now strata on
+the crit roll and recombines with the crit rate the game will actually use,
+which is known rather than sampled (`MOD_critRate` reproduces `ctr_r`; note the
+`b` multiplier never reaches it, since both branches that set it shadow it with
+a `let`). `dmg_calc` sets its `crti` flag and never clears it, so clearing it per
+call reads back which stratum a sample fell in.
+
+That removed the dominant variance term outright, at half the samples: 32, down
+from 64. Twelve consecutive clean runs of all 2,490 afterwards — about 30,000
+matchups — and the three golem arenas now land on kill 10 / die 19 exactly.
+
+The two matchups that stay trivial are legitimate: `nwh` ("Somewhere") holds
+`creature.default`, id 0, which `MOD_scaleEnemy` deliberately skips, and a lv 1
+straw dummy in the free practice yard is meant to be free practice.
+
+### End to end
+
+`tests/fightsmoke.mjs` is the end-to-end check the other two cannot be: nine
+real battles per area through the game's own `attack()`, so the wrapper meets
+the miss roll, the dodge check, the per-swing `allbuff` and death handling
+rather than being called directly. Two things came out of writing it.
+
+The page's own game loop keeps running during a headless duel and drops you out
+of battle state, after which `attack()` returns immediately and the fight stalls
+silently at the swing cap — it looked exactly like a balance failure. The test
+re-asserts `global.flags.btl` every swing.
+
+And **damage is heavy-tailed at the top of the ladder**, which is why the test
+fights nine times and reports a median. Measured at cap 110 over 4,000 swings:
+crit rate 33% (`seye`), crit multiplier about 8x (`cpwr` 4.6 and
+`1 + skl.war.use()` compounding inside `dmg_calc`), median swing 159M against a
+mean of 479M. Crits carry roughly three quarters of all damage. Two consequences
+worth knowing: the 24-sample probe in `MOD_scaleEnemy` is estimating a mean with
+a fat tail, which is why it is 24 and not 10; and one-shotting the weakest
+creature in an endgame area with a crit is the build working, not a bug, so the
+smoke test asserts no lower bound on fight length.
+
+`realbal.mjs`, `tierfit.mjs` and `sweep5.mjs` were deleted. All three measured
+the stat-ratio proxy or swept dials that no longer exist; keeping them would
+have meant a suite that reports confidently on a model the mod no longer has.
+`fullbal.mjs` kept its player-side attribution and had its combat columns moved
+onto the real math.
+
+## Titles: rank, coverage, and finally an effect
+
+Three problems, all confirmed by measurement before touching anything.
+
+**Rank meant nothing.** `rar` ran 0-5 and was assigned by feel, so the game gave
+out rank 3 titles at skill level 8: Runner at Walking 10, Rookie at Fighting 15,
+Dissector at Disassembly 8. Eight of them, all early.
+
+**There were too few.** 120 titles across 93 skills, and 73 of those come from
+story events rather than skills, so most skills granted none at all.
+
+**They did almost nothing.** Four titles in the whole game carry a `talent`.
+The rest are flavour: the "SELECT YOUR TITLE" window sets `you.title`, which is
+the name printed beside your level and nothing else.
+
+### Rank is derived now
+
+| rank | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| level | 1 | 8 | 18 | 30 | 45 | 58 | 70 | 82 | 90 | 110 |
+
+For the 47 titles a skill milestone grants, the level is read out of the
+milestone itself — `f.toString()` is scanned for a `giveTitle` call — so this
+stays correct if a grant ever moves. The other 73 come from story events with no
+level to read, so the author's 0-5 is stretched over the ranks the skill rungs
+leave free (1, 2, 4, 6, 8). Nothing story-granted reaches 9 or 10, which is the
+point: those two mean level 90 and level 110 and nothing else.
+
+### Five per skill
+
+Every skill grants a title at 25, 50, 75, 90 and 110 — ranks 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 —
+levels every skill has milestones for after section 22. 465 new titles, pool
+120 → 585, and all ten ranks populated.
+
+The grant is folded into the milestone already at that level rather than added
+beside it: two milestones at one level would be a duplicate the save cannot tell
+apart by index, and `tests/audit.mjs` rejects it.
+
+Names are formulaic — a noun chosen by skill type, then the skill: *Veteran of
+Fighting*, *Bastion of Cold Resistance*, *Grandmaster of Cooking*. With 465
+generated, legible and consistent beats individually crafted. They are nouns
+specifically because the form is "X of Y" and an adjective reads as a mistake;
+the first draft produced "Peerless of Fighting".
+
+### What they do, and what wearing one is for
+
+Each raises its own skill's exp rate — 5% at rank 3 up to 30% at rank 10 — in
+the spirit of the few the base game bothered to give a talent.
+
+That is `skl.<x>.p`, and it is emphatically **not** set from milestone code:
+skill xp multipliers are restored from the save *after* milestones fire, so the
+write would be lost on the very load that granted it. It is reconciled on the
+tick against a record in `global.flags`, the same shape as section 13's handling
+of `you.res`. `tests/titles.mjs` checks it against stacking over thirty ticks
+and across a reload, which is the failure mode that pattern exists to prevent.
+
+**Base-game talents were already permanent** — `giveTitle` fires `talent()` once
+and sets `tget`; they never needed selecting, and clicking a title only ever
+changed the displayed name. These new bonuses are the opposite by default: only
+the title you are *wearing* applies, which gives the selection window a reason
+to exist for the first time.
+
+Renown then buys that away. At renown level N every title of rank N or lower
+applies permanently, worn or not, so renown 10 makes the whole collection
+passive. The worn title always applies whatever its rank. Renown's own
+thresholds were rescaled to the larger pool — level 10 wants 550 titles rather
+than 100 — so it is a real collection project rather than something finished
+early, and it is now load-bearing rather than decorative.
+
+## Cultivation, and elements you can actually use
+
+proto23 is already a cultivation game in its furniture — Qi Circulation, spirit
+pills "made from condensed Ki", a dojo, meridians in the skill text — without
+the thing the genre is actually about: a realm you advance through, a wall that
+stops you, and a breakthrough that costs something.
+
+### The ladder is a genre convention, not a borrowing
+
+Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Core Formation → Nascent Soul → Spirit
+Severing → Soul Transformation → Void Refinement → Body Integration → Great
+Ascension → Tribulation Transcendence. That ladder, the dantian, meridians,
+bottlenecks and tribulations are shared across hundreds of works and belong to
+no one; they are
+what makes a thing read as xianxia. Nothing here is lifted from any particular
+novel — no names, no settings, no text — which is both the legal answer and the
+right one, since borrowed specifics would sit badly against proto23's own world.
+
+### Scaled off the title ranks, not restated
+
+The ten realms sit on `MOD_RANK_AT` — the same thresholds section 24 derives
+title ranks from — and are **derived from it rather than listed again**. Realm 3
+is exactly the Qi Circulation level that earns a rank 3 title, and each realm's
+own title falls out at its own rank without being told to. Retune the rank
+thresholds and the realms follow; there is no second copy to forget.
+
+`tests/cultivation.mjs` asserts that alignment directly (`r.qic ===
+MOD_RANK_AT[r.n-1]`, `MOD_rankForLevel(r.qic) === r.n`, and the realm title's
+own `rar`), which is what stops the two ladders drifting the next time either is
+touched. The test's other assertions read the thresholds out of `MOD_REALMS`
+too — the first version hardcoded "realm 1 needs Qi 10" and broke the moment the
+ladder was rescaled, which is the same staleness in miniature.
+
+### Where the pills come from, and the hole where that used to be
+
+The realm system shipped with **no way to obtain a single breakthrough pill.**
+All ten existed as items; nothing gave, dropped or sold them. The whole ladder —
+the thing sections 28 and 29 both hang off — was reachable only from the
+console.
+
+`tests/cultivation.mjs` passed throughout, because it called `MOD_breakthrough`
+directly with `{ amount: 1 }` as the pill. It tested the mechanism and never
+asked where the input came from. That is the specific blind spot of a test that
+supplies its own inputs, and the fix is a test that asks the world instead: it
+now walks the Herbalist's stock list, the dojo's rungs and the Qi-unlock path,
+and fails if any realm's pill is orphaned.
+
+Three sources, matching how far along the realm is:
+
+| realm | source |
+|---|---|
+| 1 | the instructor, when the dojo finishes teaching you |
+| 2-5 | the Herbalist, 900 to 38,000 copper |
+| 6-10 | the dojo's Level Advancement rungs at 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 |
+
+The Herbalist rather than a new alchemist shopfront: it is already the
+marketplace's plants-and-medicine vendor, already stocks `sp1`/`sp2`/`sp3`, and
+xianxia alchemy is herbalism with qi. Appending to `vendor.pha1.items` uses the
+game's own restock and purchase machinery, so there is no second screen to keep
+in step.
+
+Realm 1 is deliberately **not** from the Herbalist. The marketplace is gated
+behind reading a flyer the Paper Boy hands you at 40% per Village Center visit,
+and only after `dj1end` — while realm 1 opens at Qi Circulation 1. Sourcing the
+first pill there would have put the entire ladder behind a random encounter.
+
+Save-safe by inspection: vendor stock is stored by item id and restored by
+scanning `itemgroup[(id+1)/10000|0]`, which for the 912x ids is `item`, where
+these are defined. Verified end to end — the pill appears in real restocked
+stock, survives the round trip, and advances the realm when used.
+
+### The bottleneck is the whole point
+
+Reaching the Qi Circulation level does **not** advance the realm. It puts you at
+a wall, and breaking through costs a pill you had to find or buy. A realm you
+get for free is just a second name for a level.
+
+The attempt can fail, and failure spends the pill anyway. Odds start at 55% at
+the threshold and improve 5% per level trained past it, capping at 95% — the
+genre's "consolidate before you push" advice, made mechanical. A failure drops
+you to 1 HP but never kills: the game has a real death system
+(`global.stat.deadt`, the `ndthextr` title) and a breakthrough should not
+interact with it silently.
+
+Each realm multiplies every stat and widens the body, up to ×6 at Ascendant.
+The numbers are deliberately large, and safe to make large because section 8's
+enemy model measures the player rather than assuming a curve — a jump is
+absorbed as tougher enemies rather than as a broken game.
+
+> **Correction:** the ×6 realm is realm 10, **Tribulation Transcendence** — there
+> is no "Ascendant". **Since v4.0** the body half of that multiplier actually
+> holds; before, it was undone by the next `stat_r` — see "A realm's body
+> multiplier did nothing". The road between realms is in "The cultivator's road".
+
+The bonus is applied **in `allbuff`**, never written into `you.stra` and
+friends, so it cannot compound across loads. `tests/cultivation.mjs` runs twenty
+consecutive `allbuff` calls and checks the number does not move.
+
+### Elements you can use
+
+The six Absorption skills were purely defensive — trained by being hit by an
+element, reducing what it does to you, with no way to use one. Six Mastery
+skills pair with them.
+
+Combat is automatic (`fght` calls `battle_ai`; there is no per-turn ability
+picker to hang a spell button on), so a technique is a **proc**: `you.battle_ai`
+is wrapped and each swing has a chance to come out as a technique instead of a
+weapon blow, at `0.006 × mastery level + 0.02 × realm`, capped at 45% so a
+weapon never becomes decoration.
+
+The technique is an `Ability` with `stt: 2` and `aff` set to its element, which
+routes it through the **INT branch** of `dmg_calc` — scaling with INT, with
+`you.aff[element]`, and against the target's elemental defence rather than with
+STR and a weapon. A genuinely different attack, not a reskinned one.
+
+Nothing fires at Mortal. You cannot throw fire before your channels are open,
+which is the genre's rule and also a reason for the realm to matter in combat
+rather than only on the character sheet.
+
+Two things worth keeping: the wrapped `battle_ai` swallows any error from the
+proc and falls through to the ordinary attack, so a bug there can never cost you
+a swing (the test forces `MOD_pickTechnique` to throw and checks all 20 swings
+still land). And the six skills had to be **registered with the maps sections 10
+and 11 built before they existed** — `MOD_KEY_BY_ID` for the cap system,
+`MOD_PARENT_OF` for the panel grouping. `rnwn` needed the same in section 17.
+A skill created late is invisible to those maps, and nothing complains.
+
+## The dojo's Level Advancement, carried to 110
+
+The dojo already has a reward ladder and the instructor already promises it
+continues — *"After every 5 levels you reach, come here and receive your
+share!"* — and then it stops at level 30:
+
+| flag | level | reward |
+|---|---|---|
+| dj1rw1 | 5 | 25 coin, Low-grade Spirit Pill ×5 |
+| dj1rw2 | 10 | 100 coin, Mid-grade ×2 |
+| dj1rw3 | 15 | 200 coin, High-grade ×1, gear |
+| dj1rw4 | 20 | 300 coin, a weapon |
+| dj1rw5 | 25 | 350 coin, an accessory |
+| dj1rw6 | 30 | 400 coin, food |
+
+Character level at the mod's endgame is around 92, so the promise went unkept
+for the last eighty levels. Sixteen more rungs finish it, 35 through 110 in
+fives, sequential the way the base six are.
+
+**The pills had to be rebuilt first.** Character exp per level is
+`4*lvl^3 + lvl^2` — 5,336,100 for one level at 110, against a best-in-game pill
+worth 15,000. The ladder would have been handing out rounding errors (0.3% of a
+level). Four grades continue the author's own progression at roughly his ratio:
+Superior 100,000, Refined 600,000, Sublime 3,500,000, Transcendent 20,000,000 —
+the last worth 3.7 levels at 110, the first not even a fifth of one at 50.
+
+**A third grade of skillbook** at +30%, offered as a *choice* at the 50, 75 and
+100 rungs — the same shape as the one the instructor gives the first time you
+clear the dummies, which is the moment the request pointed at. Named in the
+author's register (Sword Saint, Nightblade, Headsman, Dragoon, Earthbreaker,
+Iron Body) rather than "Master Skillbook (Swords)", because the grade below is
+already called "Bladesman Manual".
+
+These write `skl.<x>.p += rate` exactly as the base books do, which coexists
+with section 24's title bonuses because that reconciler only ever adds and
+removes its own tracked delta, never assigns.
+
+### What the first draft got wrong
+
+I built a ladder of new golem trials before reading far enough into
+`chss.t3.sl`, and only found "Level Advancement" — and the second grade of
+skillbook that already existed — when a probe printed a lobby screen full of
+manuals I had not written. The trials were thrown away. The lesson is the same
+one the catacombs and the dead affinities taught: **read the whole handler
+before adding a parallel one.** This game hides finished systems inside long
+`else` chains.
+
+The continuation is its own lobby entry rather than an extension of the
+original's screen, because the base rungs are drawn by an anonymous click
+handler created inside `sl()` — there is no way to append to that without
+replacing the whole function. It appears only once `dj1rw6` is set, so the two
+never show at once.
+
+## Title colours, and a base-game crash the new ranks woke up
+
+The game already colours a title by rank, in the type 5 branch of `dscr()`:
+grey 0, cyan 2, lime 3, yellow 4, orange 5, purple 6. Two problems, neither of
+which could show up until section 24 started using the upper ranks.
+
+**Rank 7 threw.** Its branch sets `this.dl.style` where every other branch sets
+`this.label.style`. `this.dl` is assigned in the type 6 and 7 branches of the
+same function, so in a type 5 call it is undefined, and the tooltip dies
+half-built — the name placed, the description never. The base game topped out at
+rank 5, so the branch had never once run in the game's life. There are now 93
+titles at rank 7.
+
+**Ranks 1, 8, 9 and 10 had no branch**, so 220 titles rendered with no colour at
+all, including every rank 10.
+
+Rather than patch a switch inside a 200-line function that builds six different
+tooltip layouts, the title's rank is parked at 1 for the duration of the call —
+a value the switch has no branch for, and so cannot throw on — and the label is
+coloured afterwards from a full ten-rank table. The author's five colours are
+kept exactly where they were; the ramp only extends past where they stopped.
+The tooltip also states the rank and the level it was earned at, which is worth
+saying now that rank means a level rather than a mood.
+
+The picker rows use the same table, which is the point of having it: with five
+titles per skill, rank is the thing you are reading. That took the colour slot
+away from marking which title is worn, so worn is now weight plus a background
+tint — not a glyph, because the caret already owns the one that would read best
+and two triangles in one column are unreadable. `tests/titlepicker.mjs` caught
+that collision on the first run.
+
+## The title picker, grouped by skill
+
+585 titles in a 300px column is a scroll of hundreds of near-identical rows,
+most superseded by the one below them. Titles from one skill now collapse to a
+single row showing the best held, with a caret to open the rest; story titles
+have no skill to group under and stay as plain rows below.
+
+The hook is worth recording. The game's picker is built by an anonymous listener
+on `dom.d3`, so it cannot be removed, and cloning the node — the trick used for
+`sl_kill` and the version number — would drop `dom.d3.update` and the `addDesc`
+tooltip the game attached to it. So this adds a **second** listener instead:
+listeners fire in the order they were added, so the game builds `dom.ttlbd` and
+this rebuilds its contents immediately after, before a frame is drawn.
+
+Grouping needs to know which skill a title belongs to. The 465 generated ones
+say so themselves. For the base game's, the milestone that grants the title is
+found by scanning `f` source for a `giveTitle` call — the same trick section 24
+uses to date them — so Civilian, Trained Civilian, Fighter and Rookie group
+under Fighting alongside the generated five rather than being stranded in the
+loose list.
+
+## Perks for the top half of the ladder
+
+Section 19 made level 110 reachable. Nothing was waiting up there. Measured
+across all 94 skills:
+
+| | skills |
+|---|---|
+| no milestones at all | 25 |
+| nothing past level 10 | 12 |
+| nothing past level 50 (the mod's own tiers stop there) | 44 |
+| something past 50 | 13, and only 10 go past 60 |
+
+**81 of 94 skills gave nothing between level 51 and 110** — the entire top half
+of a ladder the seventh pass had just spent its effort making real.
+
+One rule, applied everywhere: every skill gets the rungs it does not already
+have, from `10, 25, 50, 60, 75, 90, 110`, appended at every level strictly above
+its current highest milestone. Uniform, no per-skill list, and always ascending
+— which the save format requires, since "granted" flags are keyed by array index
+and `tests/audit.mjs` fails on a broken order. A skill topping out at 50 gains
+four perks, one already at 75 gains two, one with none gains all seven. 447
+perks across 93 skills; Renown is skipped, being driven by titles rather than
+levels.
+
+The rungs are the cap ladder's own, so reaching a new story cap and pushing a
+skill into it pay off together.
+
+What each perk *does* comes from the skill's type, so the reward is relevant
+rather than uniform: resistances reduce their own damage type through
+`you.res`, absorptions raise their own element's defence through `you.caff`,
+combat gives STR and critical damage, mental gives INT and EXP, gathering gives
+energy, and so on. Harvesting needed a special case — the base game types it 0
+where every other gathering skill is 8.
+
+Two things deliberately avoided.
+
+**`skl.<x>.p` is never touched.** Skill xp multipliers are restored from the
+save *after* milestones fire (`load()` handles them at the line following the
+milestone replay), so a newly added perk raising one would have its work
+overwritten on the very load that first granted it — and `g` would be true
+forever after, so it would never fire again. Stats are restored *before*
+milestones, which is why everything else here is safe. This is the hazard
+CLAUDE.md warns about, met in practice for the first time.
+
+**Absorption perks use `you.caff`, not `you.res`.** Section 13 already drives
+four of those skills continuously off `you.res`, reconciled through
+`global.flags.mod_aff`; a milestone writing to the same table would fight that
+reconciliation every load.
+
+`tests/perkcoverage.mjs` guards the result: nothing without perks, nothing
+topping out below the highest cap, ascending everywhere, no blank text, no gap
+over 40 levels. The audit went from 478 perks to 932, all passing.
+
+### Two things the balance suite caught afterwards
+
+**Critical damage had to be pulled back to a quarter.** `you.mods.cpwr` is
+shared by all 13 combat skills and compounds across all seven rungs, so giving
+it the same multiplier as everything else took it from 1.2 to **13.0** by cap
+110 — a crit worth 23x a normal swing, landing a fifth of the time, with a mean
+five times the median. That is a coin flip dressed as a build. At a quarter the
+multiplier it sits at 6.7, a crit is 12x, and the strength side carries the
+growth instead.
+
+**The balance harnesses needed the same estimator the mod uses.** Three of 2,490
+matchups failed with the by-now familiar signature — `die` exact to the unit,
+`kill` about twice its target — because `allareas`, `combat` and `earlybal` were
+still taking a plain sample mean of a distribution whose tail had just got
+heavier. They now stratify on the crit roll the same way `MOD_meanDamage` does,
+written out in each rather than calling the mod's copy, so the test is not
+merely agreeing with itself. Six clean runs of all 2,490 afterwards.
+
+**And `savecompat` was asserting the wrong invariant.** It compared `mrtl`'s
+milestone flags against a hardcoded seven-element array, so it failed the moment
+the ladder legitimately appended two more. What matters is that saved flags
+restore into the slots they were saved from and that appended perks sit after
+them, ungranted unless the level already earns them — which is what it checks
+now, and what will survive the next perk added.
+
+## A hundred Fire Masteries
+
+Reported as "why do i have like 100 fire mastery skills and companion
+discipline", and the two skills named were the whole diagnosis:
+
+```
+skl.par_10   "Companions Discipline"   id 2000 + 10   (section 11)
+skl.mod_fire "Fire Mastery"            id 2010 +  0   (section 29)
+```
+
+Both 2010. Two numbering schemes, each sensible alone, that met at exactly one
+value.
+
+An id is the save's key for a skill, and the game's loader matches on it in a
+loop with **no `break`**:
+
+```js
+for (let a in a6) for (let b in skl) if (a6[a].id === skl[b].id) {
+  you.skls.push(skl[b]); ...
+}
+```
+
+So one shared id pushes *both* skills for *both* saved entries. The next save
+writes all four. Measured over four cycles:
+
+| save/load | Fire Mastery rows | Companions rows | sheet |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | 2 | 2 | 14 |
+| 2 | 4 | 4 | 18 |
+| 3 | 8 | 8 | 26 |
+| 4 | 16 | 16 | 42 |
+
+It doubles. Seven cycles is 128 of each, which is what the player saw.
+
+`MOD_KEY_BY_ID` is id-keyed too, so `MOD_KEY_BY_ID[2010]` resolved to
+`mod_fire` and the Companions parent had quietly lost its level cap as well.
+
+**Only Fire Mastery moved** — 2010 to 2016. Water through dark keep 2011-2015,
+the ids they were saved under, so nobody loses those levels; the Companions
+parent gets 2010 and its cap back; and the one genuinely ambiguous value goes
+to the skill that claimed it first. The six are now an explicit table rather
+than `2010 + i`, because arithmetic is what made two schemes collide.
+
+### Fixing the id only stops it getting worse
+
+The duplicates are *in* the save. `a6` still holds a hundred entries, so they
+come back on every load until something removes them. `MOD_dedupeSkills`
+(section 33) prunes `you.skls` by object identity after load and redraws the
+panel. A deliberately damaged save — 138 rows — comes back as 12 through a real
+page reload, with every level intact.
+
+Not limited to the two skills that collided. It repairs the damage rather than
+the cause, and it is worth keeping: the panel's per-second updater reads fixed
+child indices against `you.skls`, so a duplicated row is not merely cosmetic.
+
+### The same mistake, already made twice more
+
+Scanning every namespace for duplicates turned up one more of the mod's own:
+`chss.mod_hollow` and `chss.mod_pltwr` both had location id **976**, from MOD
+2.9. `global.lst_loc` is restored by the same kind of break-less scan, so both
+locations would have drawn. The tower is 980 now.
+
+(`chss.tst` and `chss.tstauto` share `id -1`. That is the author's marker on two
+unreachable dev stubs, nothing dispatches to it, and it is not the mod's to
+change — so the test skips it explicitly rather than silently.)
+
+`tests/ids.mjs` now checks all fourteen namespaces. Nothing checked before,
+which is why it shipped.
+
+## Getting into the marketplace
+
+Reported as "make it so that i can enter the marketplace bc right now it seems
+like i cant". It was unreachable, and the mod is what made it so.
+
+The base game's chain: finish at the dojo (`dj1end`), then a Paper Boy turns up
+at the village center at 40% a visit and hands you a `"Pamphlet"`, then you read
+it for three hours and `mkplc1u` opens the door. Two things about that chain
+matter:
+
+* **Exactly one item in the game sets `mkplc1u`.** There is no second route.
+* **`pmfspmkm1` is set when the Pamphlet is *given*, not when it is read**, and
+  it retires the Paper Boy permanently.
+
+Section 15 added selling. Nothing marked the Pamphlet a key item, so it could be
+sold at the food stand — outside the marketplace, before ever being read — and
+that takes the marketplace, the Grocery, the General Store, the Herbalist, the
+guard-duty quest and, because the Herbalist stocks the realm 2-5 breakthrough
+pills, most of the cultivation ladder. Permanently. Reproduced in a test before
+touching anything: sell it, then 500 village-center visits with no Paper Boy and
+no door.
+
+### Key items, derived rather than listed
+
+The game is one inline `<script>`, so its own source is readable at runtime
+through `document.scripts`. That makes the rule exact instead of a list someone
+has to maintain:
+
+> A flag the game never sets back to `false` is a one-way unlock. An item whose
+> `use` or `onGet` sets one is the only copy of something.
+
+Six items qualify — the Pamphlet, the Woven Wallet, the Bestiary, the Rotten
+Illustration, the Property Deed and the Empty Journal. A Smoke Bomb sets
+`smkactv`, which the game *does* clear, so it is transient state rather than a
+key and stays sellable. That distinction is the reason for deriving it: a
+blanket "sets a flag" rule would have wrongly protected the bomb.
+
+### Getting an already-stuck save out
+
+The author's condition is `pmfspmkm1 !== true` — "have you ever been handed
+one" — so once you have, he is finished with you whatever became of it. The
+condition that matches the intent is "do you have one", and the outer
+`!mkplc1u` already covers having read it.
+
+Drawn from the wrapper, and deliberately only in the case the original has given
+up on (`pmfspmkm1` already true), so the two can never both fire and a fresh
+character still meets him exactly once through the author's own code.
+
+### An invisible gate is what caused the report
+
+"It seems like I can't" is the real bug. The village center simply omitted the
+line, with nothing to say the marketplace existed or what would open it. It now
+says which of the three things is missing, with the sentence in a tooltip. The
+Herbalist inside gets the same treatment — it is behind Yamato's delivery job, a
+real quest, but an unlisted one, and it is where the mod sells realm 2-5 pills.
+
+Two layout constraints found while doing it:
+
+* **`.chs` is `height:22px` with no overflow rule.** A choice that wraps does not
+  make its row taller; it spills into the next one and off the bottom of the
+  panel. The first draft's 87-character hint did exactly that. Every added line
+  is now under 50 characters and the test measures `scrollHeight` to prove it.
+* **`chs()` appends**, so a wrapper's line lands under the location's `"<=
+  Return"`. All 85 of the game's back-choices start with `"<=`, so
+  `MOD_chsAboveBack()` puts the line above the first of them, and falls back to
+  appending where a location has none (the village center is a hub).
+
+## A wiki, generated rather than written
+
+Section 31. A `wiki` button on the bottom bar and a "Game wiki" row in
+settings, both opening an eleven-page reference in a tab of its own.
+
+The whole design is one decision: **it is generated from the live game data
+every time it is opened.** A hand-written wiki for 100 skills, 595 titles, 371
+items and 19 areas would be wrong within a week, and wrong in the worst way — a
+reference nobody can trust is worse than no reference. Reading `skl`, `item`,
+`area`, `ttl`, `act` and the mod's own tables means the page cannot disagree
+with the game, including changes made from the console mid-session.
+
+It also reads the **save**, so it doubles as a progress sheet: your level in
+every skill, which perks you have taken, which titles you hold, your realm and
+what the next one costs. Everything you have not reached is still listed. It is
+a wiki, not a fog-of-war map.
+
+Two things it deliberately does not do:
+
+* **It does not open inside the game.** The panel is a fixed layout with a fixed
+  bottom bar; a reference wants a sidebar and a wide table.
+* **It does not fetch anything.** The document is a string written into the new
+  window, so it works from `file://`, from a subdirectory and from a server root
+  alike — the same reason `MOD_url` exists for the changelog.
+
+`modWiki()` returns the HTML as well as opening it, so the tests can assert on
+the document without driving a popup.
+
+### Collapsing was not a nicety
+
+The first build listed everything flat. Measured, three of the eleven pages
+were over 40,000 pixels tall — Items 53,723, Titles 46,890, Skills 40,538. That
+is a hundred screens of scrolling, which is functionally the same as not having
+the content. Groups became `<details>`, collapsed by default:
+
+| page | flat | collapsed |
+|---|---|---|
+| Items | 53,723px | 495px |
+| Titles | 46,890px | 5,826px |
+| Skills | 40,538px | 591px |
+
+Skills now opens as its ten sections on one screen. `<details>` rather than a
+click handler because it works with JavaScript off, it is keyboard-reachable for
+free, and the browser can be asked to reach inside it.
+
+Two consequences that had to be handled:
+
+* **Search must open the groups it matches inside.** A match hidden in a
+  collapsed group reads as no match at all, which is worse than having no
+  search.
+* **A group can still be a wall.** 321 of the game's 371 plain items share one
+  inventory type, so grouping by type alone left a group of 321. Anything past
+  `MOD_WIKI_ALPHA_AT` gets an alphabetical sub-split, and the story titles — the
+  one title group with no skill to divide them — split by rank instead, since
+  that is the axis they are already sorted on. The test asserts no group holds
+  more than 60 entries, and it caught the story-titles group at 83 after I had
+  already fixed Items.
+
+The item groups use the game's **own** inventory tabs (`isort`: ALL/WPN/EQP/USE/
+OTHER) rather than new categories, so a group here is a tab there. Names are
+filed under their first *alphanumeric* character — several items are literally
+quoted, the master's manuals among them, and filing `"Sword Saint Manual"` under
+a quotation mark helps nobody.
+
+### Generating it surfaced two things writing it would not have
+
+**Spawn chances were not what `pop[i].c` says.** The first draft printed those
+weights as percentages. They are not percentages: `z_bake` normalises them into
+`area.popc`, a list of `[lo,hi]` bands that `mon_gen` rolls a uniform random
+against, and the weights do not have to sum to 1. The Southern forest's
+`.35/.45/.25` sum to 1.05 and are really 33/43/24%. The wiki reads the bands.
+
+**Nothing can ever spawn in the Damp cellar.** Its two `pop` entries carry no
+`c` at all, so `z_bake` computes `1 - NaN` and both bands come out `[NaN, NaN]`.
+Every comparison in the spawn loop is then false, so no creature can be chosen —
+and the area has `size: 33`, meaning a quest that needs 33 kills there could
+never finish. Nothing in the game travels to `area.clg` either; like
+`chss.pltwr1`, it is an unfinished idea of the author's.
+
+Left as it is and **reported in the wiki** rather than quietly fixed. The mod's
+job here is to describe the game, and an area you cannot fight in is a fact
+about the game worth stating. The flag is derived from the bands, not hard-coded
+against the key, so it stays true if the data changes.
+
+Two areas are excluded outright, on the test of whether you can get to them:
+`area.nwh` ("Somewhere") is where `current_z` parks whenever you are *not* in a
+fight — `mon_gen` skips it explicitly with `area.id !== 101` — and `area.tst`
+("Test") is reached only from `chss.tst`, which has `id -1` and is in no sector.
+Those are machinery. `area.clg` is content, so it is listed with its flag.
+
+> **Since v4.3:** the Damp cellar is fixed — weights, an entrance (Notice #1 on the
+> Message Board) and a real exit; its original exit led to screens that do not
+> exist. The flag stays, derived from the bands, and `tests/wiki.mjs` strips a
+> live area's weights to prove it still fires. See "Small fixes (v4.3)".
+
+### Tested
+
+`tests/wiki.mjs`, 57 checks. The coverage assertions **count from the game**
+rather than from a written list: every skill in `skl`, every area in `area`,
+every item in `item`, `wpn`, `eqp`, `sld` and `acc`, every title in `ttl`, every
+action, realm, technique, manual and pill, and all 974 perk lines. Adding a
+skill without adding it to the wiki therefore fails the suite on its own, which
+is the property that makes generating it worth more than writing it.
+
+The built document is then parsed in a real browser — a page that throws
+halfway renders blank, and a string test would not notice — and the last check
+clicks the actual bottom-bar button and asserts a real tab comes up with a
+working page in it.
+
+## The rank ladder, and whether rank 1 was ever reachable
+
+The question was "can you actually get to rank 1?", and answering it first
+meant working out which rank was meant. The game has three unrelated things
+called rank:
+
+* **`you.rank()`** — the Power rank under the portrait, tooltip *"Your power
+  position in this realm. The lower the number the stronger you are."* This is
+  the one.
+* **`mon.rnk` + `global.text.eranks`** — the monster danger grades, `???` / `G`
+  / … / `SSS++`, forty of them. A different ladder entirely.
+* **Title rarity `rar` 1-10** — the mod's own, derived from `MOD_RANK_AT`.
+
+### It is derived, not stored
+
+From the `You` constructor:
+
+```
+rank = ceil( 5e13 * sqrt((agl+str+int+spd/lvl) * 512 / (luck*.1+1))
+             / (agl+str+weapon+spd+int)^2 )
+```
+
+Recomputed every time `dom.d6.update` asks, which the global tick does once a
+second. There is no field. It falls as roughly the stat scale to the power
+−1.5 — ten times the stats is about thirty times the rank — and `ceil` floors
+it at 1, so rank 1 is a destination rather than an asymptote.
+
+### Measured
+
+Built the character the way the balance scripts do — every skill at the tier
+cap, every milestone fired, character level driven through the game's own
+`lvlup` — and read `you.rank()` at each rung:
+
+| tier | char lv | cap | STR | rank |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 0 | 5 | 10 | 578 | 21,617,349,975 |
+| 3 | 30 | 30 | 87,641 | 17,143,237 |
+| 5 | 55 | 50 | 3.4e6 | 65,544 |
+| 7 | 85 | 75 | 1.1e8 | 258 |
+| 8 | 100 | 90 | 5.3e8 | 20 |
+| 9 | 110 | 110 | 2.8e9 | 1–2 |
+
+and holding everything else at the top while sweeping skill level: 90 → rank
+18, 95 → 11, 100 → 7, 105 → 4, 108 → 3, 110 → 1. Cultivation confirms it is
+not tight — realm 0 already reaches rank 1 at cap 110, and realm 10 takes STR
+to 1.7e10, six times more than rank 1 needs.
+
+**So the answer is yes, and that was the problem.** Rank 1 is reachable, but
+only by a completionist max of every skill, and all ten ranks live inside the
+last fifteen skill levels after a whole game in which the number is an
+unreadable ten-digit blob. It is earned by a spreadsheet, not by anything that
+happens in the world.
+
+### The Hall of the First Gate
+
+Ten named challengers, rank 10 down to rank 1, off the Old Path trailhead —
+the same endgame branch as the Sunken Hollow, so it inherits the `trne4e1`
+gate. Strictly ordered: rank N opens only when rank N+1 has been taken, and
+each rung also wants a character level (60, 65, 70 … 100, 110), so the ten
+fights span the endgame rather than being one evening. Character level is the
+right spine for it: it is the game's own headline progression, it is slow, and
+section 27 already prices it to 110.
+
+### Awarding a rank you cannot write
+
+Because the rank is derived, "giving" one means keeping it in `global.flags`
+(saved, like `mod_realm`) and **wrapping `you.rank`** to return the better of
+the two. It floors, never caps:
+
+```
+held 6, stats say 900  ->  6      the ladder carries you
+held 6, stats say 2    ->  2      your own power has passed it
+```
+
+Nothing is written into a stat, so there is no delta to track and nothing
+compounds on load — the trap `you.res` and `skl.p` both fell into. The wrapper
+is safe because `you = new You()` runs once at game init and `load()` restores
+fields *into* that instance rather than replacing it; `tests/ranks.mjs`
+asserts that explicitly, since it is the assumption the whole design rests on.
+
+`dom.d6.update` is wrapped too, only to paint a held rank gold — "I took this"
+should not look the same as "my stats drifted here".
+
+### Why the rungs get longer rather than deadlier
+
+Each duel is a `protected`, one-creature, `size 1` area, which is exactly the
+shape `MOD_scaleEnemy` already reads as an arena boss — so every rung is
+anchored to the player's power at the moment they walk in, and cannot be
+out-geared or walled off. On top of that each rung takes a ~7% step, and the
+step goes into **fight length**.
+
+The obvious version — scale the kill target up and the die target down — does
+not survive ten rungs. The effective margin is `1.5 / step^1.5`, which is
+already under 1.2 at a step of 1.16. So `MOD_scaleRankDuel` reads back the
+`_modKillT` / `_modDieT` that `MOD_scaleEnemy` left on the spawn, applies the
+step, and **re-asserts `kill < die` from those numbers** rather than hoping the
+arithmetic worked out. Measured: the rank 1 duel runs 1.77× the length of the
+rank 10 one, and all 100 rung × tier matchups hold the guarantee with zero
+whiffs.
+
+One number is deliberately conservative. The challengers' `rnk` — the monster
+danger grade, not the ladder rank — stops at 14. The base game's coin drop is
+`rand(lvl, lvl/4) ** (1 + rnk/5 << 0)`, so rnk 15 would push that exponent
+from 3 to 4 and multiply an endgame drop by a hundred. `creature.kksh`, the
+toughest thing the author shipped, sits at rnk 10 in the same bucket.
+
+Losing costs nothing but the walk back: a rank you have not taken cannot be
+taken off you, and a rank you have taken is never lost. Winning pays 15% of a
+character level at the level the rung asked for, which is worth taking and
+cannot skip you up the ladder it gates.
+
+## "Why is Cured Hide class Book?"
+
+Because an `item` id is two schemes at once, and the mod only knew about one.
+
+The namespace block is the one it knew: `load()` resolves a saved id with
+`itemgroup[(id+1)/10000<<0]`, so an `item` has to sit under 10000. The second
+is the **class**, which `dscr` type 1 reads straight off the number:
+
+```
+id < 3000          Food           + a "Tried: yes/never" footer
+3000 <= id < 5000  Medicine/Tool
+5000 <= id < 9000  Material/Misc
+id >= 9000         Book           + a "Read: yes/never" footer
+```
+
+There is no field for it, and `stype` is not a proxy — the author's stype 4
+spans Food, Medicine and Book. So every item the mod ever added, having been
+parked at 9100+ to stay clear of his maxima, came out as a **Book**:
+
+| items | was | should be |
+|---|---|---|
+| 12 crafting materials | 9200-9211 | Material/Misc |
+| 4 tonics | 9221-9224 | Medicine/Tool |
+| 10 breakthrough pills | 9120-9129 | Medicine/Tool |
+| 4 spirit pills (sp4-sp7) | 9101-9104 | Medicine/Tool |
+| 6 skillbook manuals | 9110-9115 | Book — correct |
+
+Twenty-six wrong out of thirty-two, each with a spurious "Read: Never" under
+it. Only the manuals, which really are books, were right by accident.
+
+They are moved: tonics 4201-4204, breakthrough pills 4210-4219, spirit pills
+4220-4223, materials 5200-5211, manuals where they were. `MOD_ITEM_IDS` holds
+the ranges with the table above written out beside them, so the next addition
+picks from it rather than from "what is free above the author's max".
+
+### Moving them was not free
+
+The inventory is saved **by id**:
+
+```js
+a3[0].push({ id: inv[obj].id, am: inv[obj].amount, data: inv[obj].data })
+```
+
+and restored by matching it, so an entry whose id no longer exists is dropped
+silently. A save from 3.6 would have lost whatever it held of all twenty-six —
+and a Tribulation Pill is seven million coin at the Pill Tower. Losing one to a
+cosmetic fix is a bad trade.
+
+Section 37 migrates instead. It reads the blob **before** the game's load runs
+(that is what clears and rebuilds `inv`), parses a copy of `str.split('|')[6]`,
+notes which moved ids were carrying what, lets the original load run untouched,
+and gives those stacks back afterwards under the new ids. The save is never
+rewritten, and any surprise in the blob makes it do nothing at all — a
+migration that fails is better than a load that fails.
+
+`tests/ids.mjs` covers both halves: the class of every added item, checked
+against the mod's own tables rather than against the ids, and a round trip
+through a blob deliberately rewritten back to 3.6's ids, which must come back
+holding exactly what it went in with and must not double-grant on the next
+save.
+
+## Two names for one skill, and a quest the mod quietly broke
+
+### "Foraging" was already taken
+
+Ids are the save's key and `tests/ids.mjs` guards them. Names are the
+*player's* key and nothing guarded those. Section 4 added `skl.frg` named
+**Foraging** — and the base game already had `skl.hvt` under exactly that name.
+
+The result was two identical rows in the skill panel, and **ten identically
+named titles**: section 24 builds a title's name from its skill's, so
+`mod_t_hvt_25` and `mod_t_frg_25` both came out "Gleaner of Foraging", five
+rungs each. Nothing errored, and the grouped picker happily drew both.
+
+Renamed to **Wildcraft**. The key and the id are untouched — names are not
+saved, ids are, so the rename costs nobody a level. "Wildcraft" rather than
+something invented: the author's register is plain single words (Foraging,
+Harvesting, Topography, Elusion, Temperance, Gluttony, Famine), and the skill is
+about reading the wild rather than harvesting it, which is what separates it
+from his two.
+
+Swept the rest at the same time. Everything else the mod names — 140 things
+across eleven namespaces — is unique, including across the **whole inventory
+bag**, since `item`, `wpn`, `eqp`, `sld` and `acc` share one list and a repeat
+across them reads as badly as one inside a single namespace.
+
+The author's own repeats are listed and left alone, the same call `area.clg`
+got: "Chashu Ramen" (`rmn1`/`ramen3`), "Bandage" (`item.bdgh`/`eqp.brc`), "Blue
+Slime" (`slm1`/`slm5`), "Nameless" (`ttsttl2`/`hstr4`), and the nine areas all
+called "Training Grounds".
+
+### The hunter's quest stopped being completable in summer
+
+`quest.hnt1` wants **ten Raw Meat held at once**. Raw Meat rots:
+
+```js
+item.rwmt1.rot = [.25, .45, .1, .2]
+```
+
+`planner.chkrot` runs once an in-game day, adds `randf(rot[0], rot[1])` to
+`rottil` **divided by a season modifier** — 0.5 in summer, which makes it go off
+twice as fast, 2.5 in winter — and at `rottil >= 1` destroys
+`amount * randf(rot[2], rot[3]) + 1` pieces. So a perishable stock does not
+accumulate, it **converges**:
+
+```
+A = (gain_per_day * days_between_rot - 1) / lossFraction
+```
+
+The mod never touched the drop table. What it changed is how long a rabbit
+takes to kill. `MOD_ENEMY.kill` targets eight landed swings for an average
+spawn, and measured at the point the quest is offered — character level 8, cap
+15, first Western forest hunting area — a Wild Rabbit has **3,574 HP against the
+base game's 93**. A swing does ~357, so one that died in a single hit now takes
+ten (`fightsmoke` medians the same area at seven).
+
+Ten times the kill time is ten times less meat an hour against an unchanged rot
+clock. At the original 6%, taking a conservative fifteen seconds an end-to-end
+kill:
+
+| season | rot every | steady state |
+|---|---|---|
+| normal | 2.9 days | 15.6 — scrapes it |
+| summer | 1.4 days | **4.3 — cannot reach ten** |
+| winter | 7.1 days | 51 — fine |
+
+Completable in three seasons and impossible in the fourth is a bug, not a
+difficulty choice, and it is the mod's: vanilla kill times put summer
+comfortably clear.
+
+Section 36 solves the drop rate backwards from the requirement rather than
+picking one — aim for a steady state of 25 in the worst season and the first
+area, so the player holds twice what the quest asks and is not racing the clock:
+
+```
+A = 25 in summer -> loss per cycle 0.15*25 + 1 = 4.75
+over a 1.43-day cycle                          = 3.32 meat/day
+over 96 kills/day                              = 3.46% per kill
+through a 20% rabbit share                     = 17.3% per drop
+```
+
+Rounded to **18%**, applied to every creature carrying `rwmt1` — found by
+scanning the drop tables, not by naming the rabbit and the wolf, so a third one
+added later moves with them. Worst case is now 26 against 10 needed, and a kill
+in the first hunting area yields 0.28 coin of meat, so it is not an income
+either. `tests/names.mjs` fails at the old 6% and passes at 18%.
+
+> **Since v4.6** this holds on Fights: Scaled only. On Original, the default,
+> the fights are the author's again and so is his 6%; at his kill times it gives
+> the same 26 in the worst summer. `names.mjs` checks both.
+
+## Crafting stopped at two stars
+
+The question was whether anything above one star can be crafted. Measured
+across all 62 recipes, twice: by the rarity of what they produce, and by
+whether any `giveRcp` call anywhere in the game can actually hand the recipe
+over.
+
+| stars | recipes | reachable |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1★ | 43 | 35 |
+| 2★ | 17 | 7 |
+| 3★ | 1 | **0** |
+| 4★ | 1 | 1 |
+| 5★ | 0 | 0 |
+
+So the literal answer is yes, narrowly — seven reachable recipes make 2★ things
+and one makes a 4★ accessory. But the 3★ tier is a single recipe (`rcp.trr`,
+Trinity) that nothing can teach, 5★ is empty, and the one 4★ result is a Clover
+Pin you get for holding seven clovers. Crafting effectively stops at two stars.
+
+The same pass turned up a larger base-game finding: **nineteen of the 62
+recipes have no `giveRcp` anywhere** — `test`, `trr`, `lnch1/2/3`, `orgs`,
+`ffsh1/2`, `fnori`, `cbun1`, `sshl`, `hpck`, `steak`, `cnmnb`, `brth`, `eggsp`,
+`crmchd`, `msoop`, `jln4`. Defined, priced, complete, unteachable. Left alone
+and reported in the wiki, like `area.clg` and the unfinished titles: which of
+them were meant to be gated and which were forgotten is not the mod's call.
+
+### The ladder
+
+Four rungs, 2★ through 5★, each a full set — weapon, body armour, shield,
+accessory, tonic — twenty craftable things from twelve materials along three
+lines (ore, weave, essence), gathered at four nodes that open with the story.
+Each rung eats the rung below it, so it is a ladder rather than four unrelated
+shopping lists, and the numbers step about ×1.7 a rung: the 4★ blade lands next
+to the base game's own best (`wpn.scspt3`, "Fate Cutters", str 108) and the 5★
+one goes clearly past it, since that tier has nothing else to sit beside.
+
+Nodes hang off one door on the Village Center — the same shape as the catacombs
+entrance and the Pill Tower — gated on `mod_t_deep`, then one node per story
+rung. They set **no tier flag**: a gathering location that hands out a level cap
+on arrival is the catacombs bug again.
+
+Gathering is an action, not a location choice, so it reuses the tested
+machinery — `MOD_startAction`/`MOD_stopAction`, the `sdrate` cost, and the
+unrestricted-actions swap. The yield comes from the location rather than the
+action, so one action serves all four nodes, and it trains Mining, Geology and
+Foraging: three skills the base game defines and then barely uses. The first
+material out of a seam teaches that rung's five blueprints, the way the base
+game teaches `rcp.wfar` once you are holding three wolf fangs.
+
+### Three things that had to be got right
+
+**Ids are blocked by namespace, and the save depends on it.** `load()` resolves
+a saved item id with `itemgroup[(id+1)/10000<<0]`, `itemgroup` being
+`[item, wpn, eqp, sld, acc]`. An id in the wrong block comes back as the wrong
+object, or not at all. Items 9200+, weapons 10101+, armour 20101+, shields
+30101+, accessories 40101+, all clear of the base game's maxima.
+
+**Rarity cannot exceed 6.** `equip()` does `w.wc = global.text.wecs[w.rar][0]`
+and `wecs` has seven entries, so a 7★ anything throws at the moment you put it
+on. Five is the top here, and index 5 is the same red/orange band `dscr` uses
+for 5★ stars.
+
+**The value model had to be re-indexed.** Section 15 builds `MOD_VAL.madeBy` in
+an IIFE at load, long before any of this existed. Without re-indexing, every new
+piece fell past rule 2 (price from what it is made of) to rule 3 (price from its
+stats), and the first measurement came out backwards: a 5★ sword at 1,161 while
+each of the eight ingots it eats priced at 13,000. Selling the raw material paid
+ninety times better than using it.
+
+The ingots were wrong too. Rule 4 prices an unplaceable item as
+`stypeBase[stype] * rarMult[rar]`, and `rarMult[5]` is 130 — calibrated against
+*equipment* rarity, which a lump of ore is not. They are anchored instead
+(`MOD_CRAFT.matValue`, 6/18/54/162), sized against what the endgame already
+pays: `modEconomy()` puts the Ashen Spire at ~23 coin a kill and a kill at
+roughly twenty swings, so combat is about one coin a second. Gathering at the
+cap, sold at the 25% the shops give, comes to about six — better, as a dedicated
+activity with no loot and no exp attached, without being a printing press. The
+gather rate came down with it, from 55% a tick to 14%.
+
+Measured after: a finished blade is worth more than its inputs at every rung
+(60 vs 48, 278 vs 222, 1,023 vs 818, 3,506 vs 2,805), which is the point.
+
+## Grouping the titles that had no group
+
+The picker groups by skill, and after the last audit it was worth asking what
+it was *not* grouping. Measured: 595 titles, 512 attributed to a skill, **83 in
+a flat list** at the bottom — which is the wall of rows the grouping existed to
+remove, just smaller.
+
+Reading the 83, almost none of them were really one-offs.
+
+### Two more attributions, both derived
+
+**The flagship titles.** `MOD_FLAGSHIP` (section 17) already pairs a skill with
+the title it grants — `['kllr', ..., 'exct']`. The existing pass scanned each
+milestone's `f` source for a `giveTitle(ttl.x)` literal, and these milestones
+are built from the table, so the closure holds a variable and the scan sees
+nothing. Reading `MOD_FLAGSHIP` directly attributes 10.
+
+**The author's numbered tiers.** Around thirty titles are keyed `<skill><n>` —
+`tghs1/2/3` (Scarred, Thickskinned, Brute) under Toughness, `srd3/srd4` under
+Swordsmanship, `dth4` (Carcass) under Death, `rtr1` (Coward) under Retreating,
+`axc3`, `hmr3`. **Most of them are granted by nothing at all** — `giveTitle`
+never mentions them anywhere in the game's source. They are unfinished tiers,
+like `area.clg`, and they group correctly whether or not they are ever earned.
+That pass attributes 9 more.
+
+The trailing digit in that rule is not decoration. `ttl.thr` is "Thrasher", for
+smashing the dojo's equipment; its bare stem is `thr`, which is `skl.thr`,
+Throwing. A stem match without the digit files it under a skill it has nothing
+to do with. Only the author's numbered convention is safe to read this way, and
+an ambiguous prefix (`sld` matches no skill; `lnc` matches none) is left alone
+rather than guessed at.
+
+### The ladders
+
+That still left 63, and 40 of them were ladders of their own:
+
+| stem | titles | |
+|---|---|---|
+| `mod_realm` | 10 | the cultivation realms |
+| `kill` | 5 | Pest Control → Sentinel |
+| `geti` | 4 | Collector → Treasure Hunter |
+| `ttsttl` | 4 | titles collected |
+| `hstr` | 4 | punch power |
+| `neet` | 3 | Hikikomori → Hermit |
+| `sld` | 3 | Protector → Bastion |
+| `jbs` | 3 | Errand Boy → Hired Hand |
+| `eat`, `mone`, `shpt` | 2+ | |
+
+They share a key stem exactly the way the numbered skill tiers do, so
+**membership is derived** — bucket by the digit-stripped stem, and any stem with
+two or more members becomes a collapsed group like a skill's.
+
+`MOD_TITLE_FAMILY` holds one *label per family*, not one per title. A human name
+for "the ttsttl ladder" cannot be read off anything, and eleven labels is a
+different thing from 83 mappings. A stem with no label falls back to the name of
+its lowest-ranked member, which is how these ladders introduce themselves in
+play anyway.
+
+A skill group's header is self-describing — "Titan of Toughness". A ladder's is
+not: "Nameless (4)" could be the punch-power ladder or the title-count one. So
+the ladders carry their label on the row, dim and right-aligned before the
+count, rather than only in the caret's tooltip.
+
+Result: **595 titles held renders as 126 collapsed rows**, and the flat tail is
+down from 83 to 23 genuine one-offs — Nobody, Initiate, Thrasher, Wolf Slayer,
+Quartermaster, Glass Bones, Safehouse and the like, which really are story
+titles with nothing to group under.
+
+### The wiki uses the same derivation
+
+Its title page had the same shape of problem, solved worse: everything without a
+skill went under "From the story", split into rank buckets. It now takes the
+same families, nested one level down under "Ladders of their own" — eleven more
+*top-level* summaries cost about 530px on what is already the tallest page in
+the wiki, and `tests/wiki.mjs` caps it at 6,000. It reads the mod's own tables,
+so the picker and the wiki cannot drift apart.
+
+### Five unfinished titles, found on the way
+
+`ttl.ddcd` carries the literal string `"null"` as both name and description, and
+`shpt2`, `shpt3` and `mone3` have empty ones. None is granted by anything, so
+none can be earned. The picker **skips** them — a blank row, or one reading
+"null", is not worth risking over one condition. The wiki **keeps** them and
+tags them "unfinished", which is the same call `area.clg` got: a reader looking
+for why a title never appears is better served by the row than by its absence.
+
+> **Since v4.3:** four are finished from the intent in the author's code —
+> Second- and First-Rate Shopper at 5,000 and 10,000 purchases, Peasant and
+> Merchant at 10 and 100 gold. `ttl.ddcd` is left as it is. See "Small fixes
+> (v4.3)".
+
+## The title list was doubling too
+
+Found by auditing after the rank ladder went in, not reported by anyone.
+
+`giveTitle` puts every earned title on two arrays:
+
+```js
+global.titles.push(title); if (title.id !== 0) global.titlese.push(title);
+```
+
+and `load()` rebuilds `global.titles` from the save **by index**, then appends
+all of `titlese`:
+
+```js
+for (ttlid ...) global.titles[ttlid] = ttl[obj];
+for (obj in global.titlese) global.titles.push(global.titlese[obj]);
+global.titlese = [];
+```
+
+Everything earned in the session is therefore in the rebuilt array already and
+appended again. Measured on a character holding 241 titles: **241 before a
+load, 481 after, 241 distinct.** It does not compound — the next load finds
+`titlese` empty — but one load is enough, and `save()` writes the inflated
+array straight back out.
+
+Reproduced in the UI: with seven titles held, "Safehouse" rendered twice in the
+picker after one save/load.
+
+It is a base-game bug, and it was there before the mod. The mod is what makes
+it loud — vanilla hands out around a hundred titles and section 24 grants five
+per skill. Section 17 already dodged it once: `MOD_titleCount` counts from
+`ttl` rather than `global.titles.length` "because load() rebuilds that array
+and appends `titlese` to it, which can double-count". That note was right about
+the cause and stopped at working around it for renown.
+
+`MOD_dedupeTitles` (section 33) repairs it properly, the same way and for the
+same reason as `MOD_dedupeSkills`: `global.titles` holds references to the
+objects in `ttl`, so the same object twice is always wrong whatever put it
+there. Deliberately not fixed at the source — `titlese` is the author's
+mechanism and the mod has no business changing what it means.
+
+`tests/ids.mjs` covers it: distinct before a load, after one, after two, no
+holes, the worn title still in the list the picker reads, and an already-doubled
+list repaired. Confirmed the checks fail without the fix (85 entries for 43
+distinct).
+
+### What else the audit looked at, and found clean
+
+All 75 locations draw without throwing (`chss.trd` is the author's reading
+screen and needs a book argument — not a location). No choice row wraps its
+22px line anywhere. All twelve wiki pages build, with no horizontal overflow at
+375, 768 or 1200px. No id clashes in any namespace. No interval leaks over
+fifteen seconds at 20x. `acts`, `you.skls`, `furn` and `qsts` all stay distinct
+across repeated save/load cycles, and `you.res` / `skl.p` perturb once on the
+load after milestones re-fire and are reconciled back by the next tick, with no
+drift after that.
+
+## hpTrack's max HP was transient — fixed
+
+Turned up while testing the rank duels end to end through `attack()` rather
+than through a damage sample. Recorded here because it invalidates a number
+every balance script in the repo relies on, and because it is a separate job.
+
+`hpTrack` (section 9, carried into section 10's consolidated `allbuff`) sets
+
+```js
+you.hpmax = Math.round(hpRef * Math.pow(ratio, MOD_PLAYER.hpTrack));
+```
+
+at the end of the wrapper. `allbuff` begins with `who.stat_r()`, and `stat_r`
+recomputes `hpmax` from `(hp_r+hpa)*hpm*hpe`. So the assignment is overwritten
+by the very next `stat_r` — and the tick, `fght`, `update_d`, `update_m` and
+`allbuff` itself all call it constantly.
+
+Measured on a cap-60 character with every skill at the cap, sampling
+`you.hpmax` every 137 ms across six seconds of the page's real game loop: **43
+samples, all 10,050.** The hpTrack value of 184,754 appeared in none of them,
+and the game's own HP bar read `hp: 2,438/10,050`.
+
+The balance scripts never caught it because they read `you.hpmax` in the
+instant after `allbuff`, when the raised value is still standing.
+`MOD_scaleEnemy` reads it at the same moment and sets `_modDmg` from it, so the
+enemy's damage is sized for roughly eighteen times the health the character
+actually has. It is harmless early — `ratio` is near 1 until the mod's skills
+have levels — and worst at the top of the ladder, which is exactly where the
+rank ladder sits.
+
+The fix is the one `MOD_scaleEnemy`'s own header already spells out for
+enemies: write the **multiplier**, not the total. `you.hpm` is what `stat_r`
+reapplies from the base on every call, so setting that is idempotent and
+survives. Two things to check before doing it: whether `hpm` is in the save
+(if it is, it needs the delta treatment `you.res` gets in section 13, or it
+compounds on load), and what happens to `allareas` once the player really has
+the health its 2,790 matchups have always assumed.
+
+A first attempt at a narrower fix — restoring `you.hp` after the wrapper so the
+game's clamp ran against the final `hpmax` rather than the unbuffed one — was
+written and reverted. It is correct as far as it goes, but `hpmax` reverts on
+the next `stat_r` regardless, so it fixes a symptom and leaves the cause.
+
+### The fix
+
+`hpm` is an input to `stat_r`, so writing that instead of `hpmax` survives.
+Measured on a cap-60 character: before, one `stat_r()` took hpmax from
+1,492,947 to 72,377; after, both read 780,407, and so do two hundred more
+`stat_r` calls.
+
+Three corrections were needed on the way, each caught by measurement rather
+than by reading:
+
+1. **`hpm` is saved.** `hpm:you.hpm` is in the save object, so multiplying it
+   in again each load would compound exactly the way `you.res` once did. The
+   mod's factor is stored in `global.flags.mod_hpm` and divided back out first
+   — the `MOD_applyMoneyDrops` pairing.
+2. **The recovered base needs a floor.** `freshYou()` in the test harness
+   resets `you.hpm = 1` without clearing the flag, so the division recovered
+   `1/18.86 = 0.053` and max HP collapsed to **12**. `allareas` caught it
+   immediately: six rank-duel matchups flipped to `kill > die`. Flooring the
+   base at 1 is an invariant, not a patch — only milestones touch `hpm`, and
+   they only add.
+3. **`Math.ceil`, not `Math.round`.** `stat_r` ceils. One unit apart is enough
+   for the durability check to fail, which is how it was found.
+
+`stat_r()` is not called from inside the wrapper. The mod's own skill `use()`
+calls add straight into `you.str`, and `stat_r` would recompute those from
+`(r + a) * m * e` and wipe them — so the wrapper sets `hpmax` by hand alongside
+`hpm`, and the next `stat_r` reaches the same number on its own.
+
+What this changes in play: the character now actually has the health every
+balance script has always assumed. Enemy damage is unchanged — `MOD_scaleEnemy`
+was already sizing against the buffed number — so fights stop being roughly
+eighteen times deadlier than the model intended, worst at the cap. All 2,790
+`allareas` matchups still pass, because they were measuring the right number
+all along; it was play that had the wrong one.
+
+> **Since v4.0:** the realm code had the same bug, and fixing both led to
+> `MOD_BODY` — see "A realm's body multiplier did nothing". hpTrack no longer
+> writes `hpm` itself; it publishes a factor there.
+
+
+## The cultivator's road (v4.0)
+
+Section 38. Asked for: use sources such as Wuxiaworld for where the story should
+go and how it should progress.
+
+### What the sources say
+
+Two kinds of source were read, and they answer different questions.
+
+**Wuxiaworld's "General Glossary of Terms"** is the genre's own reference for
+its vocabulary, and it describes, by name, the machinery the mod was missing.
+Its entry on bottlenecks says a cultivator may need new insight, a medicinal
+pill, or harsher training to break one. The mod had exactly one of those three
+— the pill — which is why a bottleneck was a shopping trip rather than a wall.
+The glossary also covers the Spiritual Root (innate talent, tested, sometimes
+rare), the nine layers of a stage and the words Early, Middle, Late and Peak,
+seclusion as the way to push through a bottleneck without being disturbed at the
+crucial moment, the internal demons waiting there, Qi Deviation as what failing
+does to you, the impurities a body expels on the way up, and the Heavenly
+Tribulation that answers a cultivator's progress.
+
+The notes here and the comments in section 38 paraphrase and cite it. The
+first version of section 38's comments quoted several of its entries at length;
+those passages should be paraphrased too.
+
+**The book structure of two long works on the same site** — *I Shall Seal the
+Heavens* and *A Will Eternal*, both by Er Gen — answers the other question,
+where a story goes. Read off their book titles, both follow the same shape: one
+sect, then a wider region, then the world, then a domain of your own, then
+above it. proto23 already owns the first and the last of those — the dojo is a
+sect in all but name, and the Hall of the First Gate is the regional ranking
+tournament the middle books turn on. The rungs still missing (disciple grades,
+a sect contribution currency, a secret realm) are recorded here as where the
+story goes next, not built.
+
+### What was built
+
+Each is a mechanic on objects that already existed; no new areas.
+
+| Piece | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| Spiritual Root | Five grades by purity, rolled once when the dojo finishes with you. The worst costs 15% cultivation speed, not access; a Root Cleansing Pill moves you up a grade. |
+| Nine layers | Derived from Qi Circulation between this realm's threshold and the next, so breaking through lands you at layer 1 on its own. "Half a step to" is the genre's name for what the mod called a bottleneck. |
+| Insight | From meditating, from a kill made under 20% health, and from the first visit to an area — the three sources the glossary names, and no fourth. Spent whether or not the attempt works. |
+| Closed Door Training | A fifth action, which only starts at a wall. Fifteen minutes is worth +30% on the attempt, and a failure from inside it cannot cause Qi Deviation. |
+| Qi Deviation | Failing in the open: half an in-game day at ×0.55 stats and ×0.70 body, no second attempt, cleared by time or a Qi Settling Pill. Never kills. |
+| Heavenly Tribulation | Realms 8-10 answer a successful breakthrough with 3/5/7 bolts costing 55/70/85% of max HP. Realm 10 had been named Tribulation Transcendence with no tribulation in it. |
+
+The root's speed bonus goes through `skl.qic.p`, which is saved and restored
+after milestones, so it is reconciled on the tick against `global.flags.mod_rootxp`
+rather than set once. Qi Deviation is timed on `time.minute`, the game's own
+saved clock, so it expires on schedule across reloads.
+
+**Tested since v4.5** by `tests/road.mjs`, rule by rule. Until then the root,
+layers, insight, deviation and tribulation had been verified only by hand.
+
+> **Since v4.6** the insight, the fifteen minutes and the half day are sized to
+> each realm's climb instead, and meditation earns insight only at a wall — they
+> were set when realms 3-6 took minutes, and on the matched curve they take days.
+> See "Fights as he wrote them, walls sized to the climb, prices you can pay".
+
+
+## A realm's body multiplier did nothing (v4.0)
+
+Found while extending section 28. The realm wrapper raised max HP and max energy
+by assigning `you.hpmax` and `you.satmax` — the same mistake v3.9 fixed for
+hpTrack — and `stat_r` recomputes **both** from their inputs. Measured on a
+realm-10 character: max HP 332 after `allbuff` and 39 after one `stat_r`; max
+energy 1,700, then 200. The ×8.5 the top realm advertised lasted one call.
+
+Two contributors now wanted the same two inputs, `hpm` and `satm`, and a second
+delta tracker beside hpTrack's cannot work: each recovers its base by dividing
+out its own factor, and each would find the other's factor sitting inside that
+base. So **nothing writes `hpm` or `satm` any more**. Contributors publish a
+factor to `MOD_BODY`, and `MOD_applyBody()` writes the product once, with one
+delta flag per axis (`mod_hpm`, `mod_satm`). It is idempotent, which is what
+lets more than one wrapper call it.
+
+Verified: max HP and energy survive `stat_r`, 200 further calls move nothing,
+and a Mortal character is untouched. `satmax` does not compound either — the
+worry that it would turned out wrong, because `stat_r` rebuilds it too.
+
+One more thing found on the way: a third hpTrack site at the old section 9 still
+assigned `hpmax`, but it was in a wrapper that never ran — sections 6, 7 and 9
+each re-anchored on the game's own `allbuff`. Measured, the game's `allbuff` ran
+once per call. Those dead wrappers were removed in v4.3.
+
+
+## Skill rarity, and folding a section into one skill (v4.1)
+
+Section 39. Asked for: items that merge skills to clean up the list, ending in
+one skill per section that does everything its section did; rarities for
+skills; and a skill handbook in the wiki.
+
+### Rarity
+
+The rank of the level you have taken a skill to — `MOD_rankForLevel(sk.lvl)`,
+the same thresholds and ten colours titles use — named Novice through
+Transcendent. Derived rather than assigned, because a hand-picked rarity per
+skill would be a hundred more numbers to keep in step with a ladder that moves,
+and would say nothing about your character.
+
+The colour goes on the row's name element's *style*. The game's per-second
+updater rewrites that element's `innerHTML` every second, which would wipe any
+markup in the name, but it never touches the element's own style.
+
+### Folding hides; it never removes
+
+A Jade Slip — the glossary's object for storing knowledge and handing it on —
+folds one skill into its section, lowest level first. The obvious
+implementation, taking the skill out of `you.skls`, breaks three things at once:
+
+- the game's panel only redraws when the list **grows**, so a removed row stays
+  on screen;
+- `giveSkExp` pushes a skill back onto the list at its next level-up, banner and
+  all, so the fold undoes itself;
+- `you.skls` is saved by id.
+
+So folding marks the skill in `global.flags.mod_folded` and the panel hides the
+row, through the same branch that already hides collapsed groups and maxed
+skills. This works because `you.skls` was only ever the display list: the mod's
+buffs are applied from `skl` by key, and most base-game skills pay out through
+milestones already written into stats. **"All of the buffs" is therefore
+literally true rather than re-implemented.** `tests/convergence.mjs` proves it:
+every stat after folding all hundred skills is exactly its unfolded value times
+the convergence bonus.
+
+The ten converged skills (ids 2201-2210) are created at load whether or not
+anything is folded, because skill exp is saved positionally over `skl` — one
+that appeared only when first needed would shift every slot after it. They are
+aggregates: no perks, never trained, showing the best level in their section.
+The bonus is ×1.03 per fully folded section, compounding, with a proportional
+share for a partial one.
+
+Two bugs caught before shipping: `removeItem(obj, flag)` takes a flag, not an
+amount, so passing a count dropped the whole stack of slips; and there is no
+`you.inv` — a stackable item sits in `inv` once and carries its own `amount`.
+
+The **Skill handbook** is a wiki page beside the skills list: the rarity scale,
+what folds into what, and what the slips cost.
+
+
+## Measured against the original game (v4.2)
+
+Asked for: check everything is exactly as balanced as the original game, and
+perhaps new ways of writing huge numbers so it looks balanced.
+
+### How
+
+`tests/vanilla.mjs` loads the game twice. In one page the single script tag
+resolves to an empty file, which *is* the author's game; the same measurement
+code runs in both, and none of it may call anything the mod defines. (The older
+`BASELINE=1` switch in `earlybal` only turns off enemy scaling — the player
+still has every mod perk — so it was never a real baseline.)
+
+### What matched, what did not, and what changed
+
+| | Before | Now |
+|---|---|---|
+| Character level curve | identical | identical |
+| Skill cost below level 10 | 12× faster at level 5, 364× at 10 | exactly the author's |
+| Skill exp multiplier | 2 | 1, the original's |
+| Enemy coin drops | 15% | off, the original's |
+| Time to skill 110 | ~six months for a steady skill | unchanged |
+
+The author designed skills up to level 15 — every one of his 22 perk ladders
+ends between level 1 and 15, median 10 — and inside that range the mod's old
+geometric curve was 100 to 1,000 times faster. The curve is now his exact
+formula below level 10, then rises at a ratio solved by bisection so the whole
+climb to 110 costs the same wall-clock time as before. Level 15 could not be
+matched: his level 15 alone costs 823,099 xp, and 95 more levels even at that
+flat price would be two and a half times the budget.
+
+The coin drop is the author's own mechanism, switched on only by the Coin Ring
+(+1%) and the Ring of Greed (+3%); under a 15% base both rings were rounding
+errors.
+
+**Fights were measured and deliberately not matched.** At equal skill levels
+the original's opening route is almost free — median 1.2 swings to kill and
+about 25,000 to die — because you out-level its fixed creatures. The mod's
+enemy model exists to remove that. An earlier comparison in the same pass showed
+the original as a wall of unwinnable fights; that was the old skill curve
+handing the original's player far lower skills for the same xp, and it inverted
+once the curves matched. The test prints the gap and asserts only what must hold
+either way: winnable wherever the original is, and never deadlier than the
+deadliest fight the original lets you win.
+
+> **Since v4.6** they are matched by default: Fights: Original leaves the
+> author's areas as he wrote them, and this gap is the Scaled setting's. See
+> "Fights as he wrote them, walls sized to the climb, prices you can pay".
+
+### Bugs found on the way
+
+- **The six masteries were on the author's curve.** Section 19 installed the
+  curve over the skills that existed when it ran, and section 29 creates the
+  masteries later — so their level 20 cost 7,474,050 xp instead of 375, and
+  their perks to 110 were unreachable. The curve is now installed again at the
+  very end of `mod.js`.
+- **A damage sample with no crit dropped the crits.** Every stratified estimator
+  fell back to a plain mean when its sample rolled no crit — not averaging the
+  crits badly but leaving them out, and at cap 30 they are 30% of all damage. In
+  the mod about one spawn in twenty came out ~20% weak; in the tests a fight read
+  ~40% long 0.15% of the time, which across thousands of matchups is what had
+  been intermittently failing the thinnest-margin rank duels. Empty strata are
+  now topped up, in the mod and in all five test copies. On the Tallyman duel the
+  1st percentile of kill/target went from 0.775 to 0.959.
+
+### How big numbers are written
+
+Section 40. The mod's numbers are enormous next to the original's, and that
+reads like a balance problem without being one — enemies scale to the player,
+so a fight is the same length at STR 50 or 5,000,000. A setting picks Short,
+Scientific, Myriads or "as the original".
+
+Two things set its shape, both from the author's own code. His damage log calls
+his compactor for anything over 9,999 and then discards the result, so no damage
+number was ever compacted — that is where he wanted compaction to start, and in
+every format a number up to 9,999 prints exactly as the original prints it. And
+his wallet already counts in 10⁸ coins over groups of 10⁴, which is the myriad
+system (万, 亿), so Myriads is his notation carried to the rest of the screen.
+"As the original" is his output byte for byte, including his formatter putting
+commas inside exponential notation past 10²¹.
+
+
+## Small fixes, and two that were not needed (v4.3)
+
+Chosen from a list of improvements.
+
+- **The realm on the rank line.** The player panel is a fixed 310px box with
+  307px already used, so nothing gets a new line; the realm shares the rank line
+  and is the breakthrough button at a bottleneck. It has to be plain ASCII: the
+  game's font is MS Gothic, and where it is missing a ▲ fell back to a font 1px
+  taller and a ⚠ to one 6px taller, each pushing the panel past its box.
+- **A What next page in the wiki**, reading the save and built on each system's
+  own gate, so it cannot call a locked door open.
+- **Rarity you can read**: named in the skill tooltip, with a sort and a filter.
+- **The skill panel rebuilt every row every second**, forever, once the list had
+  grown with the panel open — the game stores the list's size once and never
+  updates it. 265 redraws in five seconds at 53 rows. The mod's own updater
+  replaces it, redraws once per change, and notices a shrink too.
+- **The Damp cellar** had no spawn weights, no way in, and an exit into two
+  screens that were never written (`chss.q1lwn`, `chss.q1l`). It is Notice #1 on
+  the Message Board now — an inference from those names ("quest 1"); the rest is
+  the author's.
+- **Four unfinished titles finished**: the shopper ladder at the 5,000 and 10,000
+  purchases his commented-out code names, and the money ladder at 10 and 100
+  gold. The fifth, `ttl.ddcd`, is named "null" with nothing to say what it was
+  for, and is left alone.
+- Rank-duel margin 1.25 → 1.4; `allareas` gains a fully folded build (3,720
+  matchups); three dead `allbuff` wrappers removed.
+
+Two items on that list turned out to be wrong. **Tutorial fight 1** loses only in
+the original's raw numbers; in the modded game it was already winnable. And the
+**marketplace lockout** had already been fixed in section 32 — every link in the
+chain was audited again (the dojo, the Paper Boy, the Pamphlet, reading it, the
+door, the Herbalist behind it) and none can be lost for good.
+
+
+## Repository housekeeping: which remote is which
+
+Not gameplay. The checkout's remotes were renamed so the desktop app's move to
+the cloud could push somewhere writable:
+
+```
+origin     https://github.com/Xeus24/23html.github.io.git   the fork — pushes go here
+upstream   https://github.com/23html/23html.github.io.git   the author's game
+```
+
+`main` tracks `origin/main`. The author's changelog check therefore compares
+against **`upstream/main`** now:
+
+```
+git diff upstream/main -- changelog/changelog.html    # must be empty
+```
+
+
+## Backups before an update, and a pacing setting (v4.4)
+
+### Backups
+
+v4.2 changed how fast skills level on saves people were already playing. A
+change like that can always be undone in code; it cannot be undone in a save the
+new version has already written over. So the first time a new version of the
+mod loads, it copies the live save and all three slots into `p23_backup_1..3`
+before the game has read anything.
+
+**It is section 0, the first code in `mod.js`, and depends on nothing below it.**
+An update that breaks is exactly when the backup is wanted, and a section that
+throws stops every line after it — while the game, which does not depend on the
+mod, goes on loading and then autosaving. So the copy is made before any of that
+code has a chance to fail, using plain key literals because section 20's
+constants do not exist yet. The test asserts the placement.
+
+Three are kept, the oldest replaced first — oldest by a sequence number, because
+backups made in the same millisecond tie on the clock, which the test found.
+
+The test also found a real bug before it shipped. When a backup did not fit, the
+first version cleared every other backup to make room, retried, and — if the
+retry failed too — had thrown them all away for nothing. It now frees only the
+space of the backup it was replacing, which it was about to overwrite anyway.
+**A failed backup must never cost an older one.**
+
+Restoring (section 44, in the saves panel) puts every slot back, because that is
+what a backup holds and a half-restored set of slots is a state that never
+existed. It saves the current slot and backs up the present first — never over
+the backup being restored — so a restore can be undone, then reloads, since the
+game reads its save only at startup. It restores saves, not the mod's code.
+
+One consequence for anyone changing the mod: **bump `MOD.version` for any change
+a save could notice**, or the backup that would protect it is never made.
+
+### Pacing
+
+v4.2 made the mod's earlier pacing a matter of three console commands. Section 45
+makes it one setting:
+
+| Preset | Skill cost | Skill exp | Coin drop |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Original (default) | the author's below level 10, then a solved ~2.9% ramp | 1x | 0 |
+| Mod before 4.2 | `50 × 1.106^level`, exactly | 2x | 15% |
+
+"Exactly" needed one addition: `MOD_XP.fixedRatio`, which skips the ratio solve.
+With `vanillaTo` 0 the curve's anchor makes level 0 cost 50, so a fixed 1.106
+reproduces the old curve to the unit — the test checks levels 0 to 109. Level 110
+is the same distance away in both presets, and fights are identical, because the
+enemy model never changed between them.
+
+The exp and coin boxes already persisted on their own keys, so a preset simply
+sets them. The curve had no persistence, so the chosen preset is stored and its
+curve re-applied at load. Changing a box afterwards reads as **Custom** rather
+than silently claiming a preset that no longer holds.
+
+
+## Small things found by using it (v4.7)
+
+Twelve items off one list, all small. Section 48 holds the new code; the rest
+are edits where the problem was.
+
+- **The Qi Settling Pill was a loophole.** 4.6 made Qi Deviation last as long as
+  the seclusion it skipped — 91 in-game days at realm 10 — and the pill that ends
+  it still cost 5,200, ten minutes of late income. It now costs the breakthrough
+  pill of the realm at the wall (never under 5,200), so failing in the open costs
+  a second pill. Vendor stock copies a price at restock, so the listing reads it
+  through a getter and rows already on the shelf are repriced on the tick.
+- **Near-death insight on Original fights**, measured rather than guessed
+  (`tests/fights.mjs`). At arrival his areas take thousands of fights to bring
+  you under 20% health — his design, you out-grow them. The mod's own areas and
+  the rank duels do it in two to five. No wall depends on it: each can be met by
+  sitting alone. Left as it is, and the wiki now says where it happens.
+- **Every tooltip is checked** (`tests/tooltips.mjs`): 1,367 rendered through the
+  game's own `dscr`, plus the 22 the mod attaches on its screens. It would have
+  caught the realm tooltip that printed its own source.
+- **Settings travel inside the save.** Written into `global.flags.mod_settings` on
+  save, and taken on load only where the browser has no setting of its own.
+  Once per browser (`p23_mod_settings_seen`): a later load is a slot switch, and
+  adopting there would write a key every other slot then inherits.
+- **Notes in the log**: after an update, once; on a first install, where the
+  wiki and commands are; on Safari, a reminder to download a backup at most once
+  a day and not after a download; under the userscript, an untested game version.
+- **The rank line shows the wall**: `½ step to Nascent Soul >> 40/104`.
+- **Small visuals**: no spinner arrows on the mod's number boxes (they sat on the
+  digits in Safari), and Menlo/Consolas before the generic monospace in the wiki,
+  since Safari's Courier is wider than Chrome's.
+- **The old pacing preset is labelled legacy** and not held to the economy rule;
+  **the spirit pills and the Root Cleansing Pill** are, at a day of income from
+  the tier where each is worth buying — all five already passed.
+- **Tests wait for two ticks, not 4.5 seconds**, which took the suite from 97 to
+  about 75 seconds.
+
+## Fights as he wrote them, walls sized to the climb, prices you can pay (v4.6)
+
+Five things from the list: match the original's fight pacing in his areas,
+re-check the economy with the coin drop off, re-check cultivation pacing on the
+matched curve, run the tests on GitHub, and play the mod on the hosted game.
+The sixth — a faster `allareas` — turned out not to need doing.
+
+### Fights: Original
+
+The mod's enemy model was built to remove out-levelling, and it does. But the
+original's pacing *is* out-levelling: at equal progression his forest takes a
+swing or so a kill and barely fights back. Since 4.2 the mod's defaults are his
+wherever they can be, and fights were the one place left where they were not.
+
+Section 47 adds a setting, and Original is the default. It is two hooks into
+section 8, not a second model:
+
+- `MOD_scaleEnemy` returns at once when the spawn's area is one of his — marked
+  `_modAuthor` on every area that exists before section 8 adds any.
+- `MOD_applyAreaLevels()` swaps each population's level range between his
+  (`_modLv0`) and section 8's ×1.4 (`_modLvS`). The value model reads `_modLvS`
+  either way, so no price moves when the setting does.
+
+Raw Meat goes back to his 6% on Original. The 18% of section 36 was solved
+backwards from the scaled kill time of fifteen seconds; his is under two, so
+five seconds is still conservative, and 6% at five seconds is the same steady
+state as 18% at fifteen — 26 held in the worst summer against ten needed.
+
+The mod's own areas stay scaled. There is no original of the Hollow, the Spire,
+the Vigil or the rank duels to match, and the ladder needs the targets the
+model leaves on a spawn. *Scaled* is section 8 everywhere, as before, and the
+*Mod before 4.2* pacing preset now selects it.
+
+`tests/fights.mjs` holds it against his page, not against a description of it.
+Every one of the 70 spawns in his areas — level range, level, HP, STR, AGL,
+INT, SPD, exp — comes out identical on both pages with `random()` seeded the
+same way. On his route, at the point you first reach each step, every step past
+the tutorial is winnable spawn by spawn, and the median fight is no longer than
+his. He loses Tutorial fight 1 at skill 0, and so does Original: that is his.
+
+Every balance script measures section 8, so each now switches to Scaled first.
+Without that, on the default, `allareas` would be measuring his creatures
+against a capped player and calling it the model.
+
+### The economy with no coin drop
+
+With the author's coin formula on at 15% — the mod's default until 4.2 — the
+top of the game paid about lvl³ a drop, and the Pill Tower was priced for it.
+With it off, `tests/econ.mjs` measures what each stage actually pays: fighting
+each area open there (the real swings a kill takes through `dmg_calc`, the drop
+table sold at 25%, time to recover the health it cost) and gathering at each
+node, best one taken. From a character at each tier's cap: about 2,000 an hour
+in the forest, 4,000 by the basement, 9,000–10,000 once Ashfall Quarry opens,
+32,000 at the Deep Vein.
+
+The rule it holds every required price to: **no more than 10% of the climb it
+gates, in hours of that income.** A realm pill gates the Circulate Qi climb from
+the realm below. On that rule the Herbalist's four pills cost half an hour to
+nine hours, and all hundred Jade Slips come to about 4% of what the game pays
+after the Archive opens — both already fine. The Pill Tower was not:
+
+| pill | budget | was | hours of income | now |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| realm 8 | 657K | 900K | 89 | 540K |
+| realm 9 | 583K | 2.4M | 238 | 560K |
+| realm 10 | 6.97M | 7M | 220 | 6.5M |
+
+Realm 9's budget is below realm 8's because its climb (Qi Circulation 82 → 90)
+is shorter; 540K and 560K both sit under their own and keep the ladder rising.
+The dojo still gives one pill per realm for 6-10; the tower is where a second
+one comes from after a failure.
+
+### Cultivation on the matched curve
+
+`tests/road.mjs` now prints the realms against the climb, on the live curve at
+Circulate Qi's 0.9 a second:
+
+| realm | Qi | climb | from 0 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 2 Foundation | 8 | 3 h | 3 h |
+| 3 Core Formation | 18 | 84 h | 87 h |
+| 5 Spirit Severing | 45 | 268 h | 500 h |
+| 8 Body Integration | 82 | 652 h | 1,960 h |
+| 10 Tribulation Transcendence | 110 | 2,195 h | 4,733 h |
+
+The realms themselves were right: they follow the curve, which was matched to
+the author's in 4.2, and the whole ladder is the six months at 1x it always was.
+What was wrong was everything sized in minutes around them. Realm 3's wall
+asked for five insights and fifteen minutes of seclusion at the end of an
+84-hour climb; worse, the Circulate Qi that did the climbing also rolled for
+insight the whole way, so a player arrived with a thousand and the wall cost
+nothing.
+
+- **Meditation only earns insight at a wall.** Fights you nearly lost and new
+  ground still count anywhere.
+- **The wall is 5% of the climb to it** (`wallShare`), at the meditation rate:
+  realm 3 asks for 60, realm 10 for 1,580. The old 1, 3, 5 … stays as a floor,
+  so realms 1 and 2 are unchanged, and no wall is smaller than the one below.
+- **Full consolidation takes as long as seclusion takes to earn that insight**
+  on average — 1.4 hours at realm 3, 37 at realm 10 — so sitting it out
+  finishes both together.
+- **Qi Deviation lasts as long as the seclusion you skipped** — 3.5 in-game
+  days at realm 3, 91 at realm 10 — never under the old half day. Pushing in the
+  open costs what doing it properly would have.
+
+All four are derived from the curve and the realm ladder in code, never
+written as numbers.
+
+### Tests on GitHub, and the author's files
+
+`.github/workflows/tests.yml` runs on every push and pull request: `npm run
+check`, `tests/authorfiles.sh`, then the suite. `authorfiles.sh` is the rule
+that used to be a line in CLAUDE.md, made a check — his changelog byte for byte,
+and `index.html` his plus exactly the three added lines — against his repository,
+fetched read-only when there is no `upstream` remote.
+
+### allareas, and the suite
+
+Listed as the slowest script by far. Timed: seven seconds, four and a half of
+them the page-settling wait every script pays. Whatever made it slow went with
+an earlier fix. The suite as a whole was worth speeding up, so `run.sh` now runs
+four scripts at once — every script launches its own browser, a fresh profile,
+so the ones that write saves cannot collide — and prints seconds per script. All
+38: about 1½ minutes, from 5½.
+
+### The userscript
+
+`tools/build-userscript.mjs` wraps `mod.js` and the mod's changelog into
+`userscript/proto23-mod.user.js`, for Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey, matching
+`https://23html.github.io/`.
+
+A manager runs a script inside a function of its own, which would make every
+`var` in mod.js local — the console commands, and everything the game reaches by
+name, would disappear. So the userscript does not run the mod; at document-end
+(DOMContentLoaded: after the game's inline script, before the `load` listener
+reads the save) it appends mod.js to the page as an inline `<script>`, which runs
+in the page's global scope exactly as the tag does locally. That made one real
+change to mod.js: two places read the game's own source from `document.scripts`,
+and would have read the injected mod as part of it. Both go through
+`MOD_gameSource()` now, which skips the tag the userscript marks.
+
+The changelog is embedded, because the author's site has no
+`changelog/mod-changelog.html`. The file is generated and committed, so it can be
+installed from its raw URL; `tests/userscript.mjs` and `npm run check` fail when
+it is stale.
+
+### Safari
+
+Asked for next: make it work well on Safari. Playwright drives WebKit, the engine
+Safari is built on, so every test script now takes `BROWSER=webkit`, and CI runs
+the whole suite on both engines. All 38 passed on WebKit the first time, and
+`mod.js` has nothing older Safari cannot parse — it is almost entirely ES5. What
+WebKit found was in how the page looks, and none of it could have shown up in
+headless Chromium:
+
+- **Every skill row wrapped.** Its three cells are 32%, 170px and 197px, which
+  fit the panel's 550px with under a pixel to spare. WebKit's scrollbar takes
+  eight, and on a row carrying a section header (flex-wrap, so the header can sit
+  above) the exp bar dropped to a second line: rows 78px tall instead of 30, and
+  a sideways scrollbar, because the header's 100% did not count its padding. The
+  bar column now takes the space left (`flex:1 1 0`) and the header is
+  border-box. Chromium set to always show scrollbars had the same bug.
+- **The mod's dropdowns were grey macOS buttons** on the dark settings panel —
+  Safari ignores a `<select>`'s background unless its native look is turned off.
+  `MOD_styleSelect()` does that for all four and draws the caret back in.
+- **Clicking a section header selected its text**, since Safari still wants
+  `-webkit-user-select`.
+
+And one that is not Safari's alone, found measuring it: the skill panel's
+per-second updater rewrote three cells on every row every second, hidden or
+not, changed or not. 110 rows: 329 DOM changes and 3.8ms a second on WebKit
+(2.3 on Chromium). It writes only what changed now — two changes and 0.3ms when
+one skill moves.
+
+One Safari behaviour the code cannot fix: its tracking prevention can clear a
+site's stored data after seven days of browsing without a visit, which takes the
+saves and the automatic backups together. The README tells Safari players to
+download a backup now and then.
+
+## Three bugs in the author's code, and a second batch of small things (v4.5)
+
+### Death, Shield Mastery and Luck
+
+All three were found long before they were fixed, and each is one line inside a
+long function of the author's, so each is corrected from outside it.
+
+**Death.** The game multiplies your energy on death by `0.55 × (1 − level × 0.1)`.
+That is 55% at level 0, nothing at level 10, and below zero from level 11 — so
+your energy went negative. The replacement is `1 − 0.45 / (1 + level × 0.1)`: 55%
+at level 0, exactly as before, then 78% at 10 and 96% at 110, always improving
+and never reaching 100%. The death is detected by `global.stat.deadt` rising,
+because the "You avoid death" branch runs the same function without dying.
+
+**Shield Mastery.** The last bracket of the enemy's damage multiplies your whole
+defence by `(100 − (shieldAff + targetCls × ta) × 5 × (1 + level/20)) / 100`. At
+level 110 that `(1 + level/20)` is 6.5, the bracket goes negative, and defence is
+added to the hit. Every other bracket in the line is `100 + …`, so a sign typo is
+likely — but that is a guess about intent, so the bracket is only floored at
+zero: defence can fall to nothing, never below. It is done by holding the skill's
+level, for one call, where the bracket is exactly zero. The test checks that a
+hit where the bracket was positive comes out identical to before.
+
+**Luck.** `dmg_calc` declares `let b = you.luck/25 + 1` inside the player's own
+block, so the crit roll outside it reads the outer `b`, always 1. The author's
+range is small — luck moves by one to four on a handful of events, so his
+multiplier tops out near ×1.4 — but this mod's perks grant luck on every social
+skill, and at cap 110 a character holds 132–223 of it. Through his formula that
+is a crit on every swing. So his formula is used exactly, capped at a 50% crit
+chance from luck: in his range the cap never binds, and at the top a crit stays a
+roll. It is applied by rebinding `MOD_dmg_calc_original`, the variable section 8's
+probe and incoming-damage wrapper call through, so enemies are sized against the
+player with luck included; a wrapper outside it would have let the player
+out-damage every target. Measured crit frequency on real swings matches the
+model the probe weights by, at luck 0, 10 and 100.
+
+### The rest
+
+- **Breakthrough history** — the last twenty attempts, their odds, where they
+  were made and how each ended, on the What next page and in `modRoad()`.
+- **Backups once a day** as well as on each update, in a fourth place of their
+  own so a quiet week cannot push out the update backups; and **as a file** —
+  download any backup, load one back — because clearing the browser's storage
+  takes the backups with it.
+- **Shop prices** follow the number format. The game writes a stock line once
+  through `chs()` and again from inside its own closures after every purchase,
+  which cannot be wrapped, so one observer on the choices panel reformats a
+  five-digit-or-more number directly before the coin mark, and nothing else.
+- **`tests/road.mjs`** checks every rule of the cultivation road, with the dice
+  fixed per check. **`tests/basefixes.mjs`** holds the three fixes and the shop
+  prices. **`tests/baseline.mjs`** records the numbers that define the balance in
+  `tests/baselines/balance.json` and fails on any change; a one-point change to
+  the kill dial shows as `enemy.kill: 8 -> 9` and every fight target it moves.
+
+
+## A changelog you can actually reach
+
+The game has a changelog and already links to it — the version number in the
+bottom bar is clickable. Two problems. Nothing about "v470" says "click me",
+and the handler is `window.open('/changelog/changelog.html')`, an absolute path
+from the *server root*, so it only resolves when the game is served from the
+root of a host. From a file:// URL or any subdirectory it 404s, which is how a
+local copy usually gets opened.
+
+So there is a labelled `changelog` button in the bar now, and the path is
+resolved against `document.baseURI` instead. The version number still works —
+its handler is rebound by replacing the node, the game having attached it
+anonymously.
+
+The mod's entries live in **`changelog/mod-changelog.html`**, its own file.
+
+They did not start there. The first version prepended them to
+`changelog/changelog.html`, above the author's, under a gold header — which
+worked, and read well, and meant the mod was editing a file that was not its
+own. Splitting them out restores the property the whole design rests on: **the
+single script tag in `index.html` is the only change the mod makes to anything
+of the author's.** `git diff upstream/main -- changelog/changelog.html` comes back
+empty, and CLAUDE.md says to check that before committing.
+
+> **Since the remotes were renamed:** this was `origin/main` when written;
+> `origin` is now the fork, so the check is against `upstream/main`. See
+> "Repository housekeeping".
+
+The mod's file pins a white background, because the author's sets no colours and
+his palette — blue dates, black-backed headers — assumes a white page, so a
+browser in dark mode renders half of it unreadable. His file is left with that
+problem rather than edited to fix it; it is his to fix.
+
+**Every change from here on gets an entry there.** That is the point of it.
+
+## Circulate Qi comes from the dojo
+
+Three of the four added actions hang off a milestone on a base-game skill.
+Circulate Qi did too — Temperance 5 — and that was wrong once section 28 made it
+the way into the cultivation system: realms are levelled through Qi Circulation,
+and Temperance is trained by throwing your possessions away. An obscure gate on
+the most important thing in the mod.
+
+It is granted by clearing the dojo's three tutorial fights instead — the
+difficulty select's "Easiest", "Easy" and "Normal", which set `tr1_win`,
+`tr2_win` and `tr3_win`. That is the moment the dojo has finished teaching you
+to fight, which is the right moment to hand over what the rest hangs off.
+
+A **tick check rather than a milestone**, because the condition is three story
+flags rather than a skill level — the same way the base game grants `act.scout`
+from a story beat rather than a perk. The flags only go false→true, so it is
+one-way, and `giveAction` is a no-op once you hold it.
+
+The skill itself is revealed at the same time. The game only shows a skill once
+it first levels, which would otherwise leave you holding an action whose skill
+is nowhere on the sheet.
+
+**Temperance keeps a perk at level 5**, now a plain one. Removing the milestone
+would have shifted every later index in `skl.rccln.mlstn`, and those indices are
+what the save keys its "granted" flags to.
+
+## The bottom bar was covering the panel
+
+The mod's three bar buttons were `display:inline-block`; the game's own are
+plain `inline`. Both render 22px tall, but only an inline-block contributes its
+full box to the line box — so `#sl` went from 24px to 32px, and since it is
+`position:fixed` at `bottom:0`, those 8px came straight off the game screen and
+covered the bottom of the panel above it.
+
+Measured rather than guessed: hiding just the three buttons took the bar from
+32px back to 24px. Matching the game's own styling fixes it; the check is that
+the bar's height is identical with the buttons shown and hidden.
+
+## The added actions are earned now
+
+The four actions this mod adds — Circulate Qi, Forage, Practice Calligraphy,
+Endurance Drill — used to be granted 2.5 seconds after load and re-granted on a
+5-second timer. A brand-new character therefore had four unexplained abilities
+before leaving the tutorial, and the timer existed only to paper over the fact
+that loading a save resets every action's `have` to false before rebuilding the
+list from the save.
+
+> **Since then:** Circulate Qi moved off Temperance to the dojo's three tutorial
+> fights ("Circulate Qi comes from the dojo"), so the Temperance row below is
+> history — Temperance 5 is a plain perk now. **Since v4.0** there is a fifth
+> action, Closed Door Training, earned at your first cultivation bottleneck.
+
+They are now earned, through the game's own mechanism. `skl.walk` level 1 is
+what grants the base game's "Run", from a milestone; `act.scout` comes from a
+story beat in the basement. So each added action hangs off a milestone on the
+base-game skill it grows out of:
+
+| Skill | Level | Action | Why that skill |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Toughness | 4 | Endurance Drill | taking hits teaches you to condition |
+| Harvesting | 4 | Forage | gathering teaches you to search |
+| Temperance | 5 | Circulate Qi | letting go teaches you to hold |
+| Literacy | 8 | Practice Calligraphy | read before you write |
+
+All four are trained by ordinary play: Toughness when you are hit with a slot
+unarmoured, Harvesting from area drops, Temperance by discarding possessions,
+Literacy by reading.
+
+**Which skills could be used was constrained.** Milestone "granted" flags are
+stored by array index, so entries must be appended and their levels must stay
+ascending — `tests/audit.mjs` enforces both. Section 3 had already appended
+20/25/30/40/50 to Walking, Meditation, Foraging, Patience, Fighting and
+Sleeping, so appending anything below 50 to those is impossible, and inserting
+at the front would shift every index and re-fire perks the player already had.
+Meditation was the obvious thematic home for Circulate Qi and is exactly one of
+the blocked ones; Temperance, which had no milestones at all, turned out to be a
+better fit anyway.
+
+**Why a milestone rather than a tick watching for the condition.** The
+requirement then lives in the skill panel like any other perk, the game
+announces it in its own words, and the load ordering is already solved:
+milestones re-fire before the action list is rebuilt from the save, so a
+replayed grant is harmlessly overwritten a moment later. A save from before the
+action was earned simply comes back without it.
+
+Each perk carries a small stat bonus as well, because a perk in this game always
+does something and an entry that only granted an action would read as a blank
+line in the panel.
+
+`tests/audit.mjs` needed teaching about this: its `snap()` did not track `acts`,
+so a perk that granted an action and nothing else counted as doing nothing. With
+`acts.length` added it also surfaces a genuine base-game text gap — `walk lv1`
+says "AGL +1" and quietly grants Run as well.
+
+## Unrestricted actions, opt-in
+
+One settings checkbox that lets sustained actions run simultaneously and start
+anywhere. Off by default: both are deliberate limits, not oversights.
+
+The game enforces one-at-a-time twice over. `activateAct` deactivates whatever
+was running, and every action's `activate()` does
+`clearInterval(timers.actm); timers.actm = setInterval(...)` — a single shared
+slot. Both have to give way.
+
+Nothing is reimplemented. Each action's own `activate`/`deactivate` is wrapped
+and the timer **slot** is swapped around the call:
+
+- activate: park whatever is in `timers.actm`, null the slot so the action's own
+  `clearInterval` is a no-op, let it run and set `timers.actm` to its interval,
+  move that onto the action, put the parked value back.
+- deactivate: put the action's own interval into the slot first, so the action's
+  own `clearInterval` stops the right one.
+
+That works unmodified for the base game's Run and Investigate as well as the
+mod's four, because all six use exactly that shape.
+
+Toggling off is the other half. The click handler reads
+
+```js
+if(a.cond()===true && a.id!==global.current_a.id) activateAct(a)
+else if(a.id===global.current_a.id) deactivateAct(global.current_a)
+```
+
+so only the most recently started action can be clicked off — and with
+conditions bypassed the first branch always wins. `activateAct` therefore treats
+a click on an already-running action as "stop it", which makes every row a
+toggle again.
+
+Turning the box back off stops everything rather than guessing which action to
+keep, because the game only understands one.
+
+Two things guarded: a tick running somewhere it was never meant to can throw
+(Investigate reads `global.current_l`), and left alone that would fire every
+second forever — so `use()` is wrapped and an action that fails five times is
+stopped with a message. And `load()` is wrapped to clear the per-action
+intervals first, since it sets every `active` flag to false and would otherwise
+strand them.
+
+## Three save slots
+
+The game keeps exactly one save. `save()` writes localStorage `"v0.3"` and
+`load()` reads it, both by name, and `load()` runs once from a `window` load
+listener — there is no unload, no reset, and no notion of a second file.
+
+Rather than edit either function, **`"v0.3"` always holds whichever slot is
+live**, with a mirror beside it:
+
+```
+v0.3               the live save — the game's own key, untouched
+p23_slot_N         a copy of slot N, N in 1..3
+p23_slotmeta_N     name / level / cap / timestamp, for the panel
+p23_slot_active    which slot is live
+```
+
+`save()` is wrapped to mirror into the active slot, so the copy refreshes on
+every save by any route — the button, the 30-second autosave, an area's own
+save call. The wrapper returns the blob unchanged, because that return is what
+the export button reads.
+
+Switching writes `v0.3` and reloads the page. That is not laziness: the game
+builds its whole world at startup and reads the save once, so there is nothing
+to unload. "Start new save" is the same move with the slot cleared first — the
+game then finds no save and starts a fresh character, which is the only reset
+it has.
+
+Two decisions worth keeping:
+
+**Boot adopts, never overwrites.** If the active slot has no mirror but `v0.3`
+exists, that save becomes slot 1 — so a character from before this section
+existed is picked up rather than orphaned. `v0.3` is otherwise left alone. A
+mirror can only ever be the same age or staler than the live key, so
+overwriting from it could only lose progress.
+
+**Nothing destructive happens without the target in front of you.** Starting a
+new save over a used slot, or deleting one, names the character and level in the
+confirm. Leaving a slot saves it first, and if that save throws the move is
+abandoned rather than trading a live character for a silent loss.
+
+The game's own "delete the save" button called `localStorage.clear()`, which
+would take all three slots and the mod's settings with it. It is rebound to
+delete just the slot you are in — the game attached its handler anonymously, so
+the node is cloned and replaced, which is the only way to drop it.
+
+Slot metadata is written on save, but the panel falls back to reading the name
+and level out of the blob itself when it is missing: the save is base64 of
+pipe-separated segments and the first is the player object, so a slot from an
+older build still shows who is in it.
+
+`tests/saveslots.mjs` drives the real UI and the real `save()`/`load()` through
+the whole cycle — three characters coexisting, switching both directions,
+starting fresh without touching the others, deleting a slot you are not in,
+and adopting a pre-slot save. Console equivalents are `modSaves()`,
+`modSwitchSave(n)`, `modNewSave(n)`, `modDeleteSave(n)`.
+
+## Settings menu: multiplier boxes
+
+The skill exp and speed multipliers were console-only (`setSkillXp(3)`,
+`setSpeed(4)`). They now have number boxes in the game's own settings window,
+alongside the base game's options.
+
+Three rows, appended to `dom.ctrwin4` using the game's own `opt_c` / `opt_t` /
+`opt_v` row classes so they look native:
+
+| box | range | ships at |
+|---|---|---|
+| Skill EXP multiplier   | any positive number | 2 |
+| Game speed             | 0 to `MOD.max_speed` (20) | 1 |
+| Enemy coin drop chance | 0 to 1 | 0.15 |
+
+> **Since v4.2:** the skill exp box ships at **1** and the coin drop at **0** — the
+> original's values. **Since v4.2** there is a fourth row, Number format, a
+> select rather than a number box.
+
+Details that matter:
+
+* Typing a value and pressing Enter, or clicking away, applies it. The box
+  then shows the value that was **actually applied** — the setters clamp, so
+  typing 9999 into the speed box leaves 20 in it, and a rejected value (0 or
+  blank for a multiplier) snaps back to the current one.
+* Values are read back from the live state once per tick, so a change made in
+  the console shows up in the box. That refresh **skips a box you are
+  currently focused on**, so it can never overwrite a half-typed number.
+* All three persist in `localStorage` across reloads, independent of your save
+  file. Skill exp and coin drop chance got persistence in this pass to match
+  the speed control, which already had it.
+* Each row has a hover tooltip via the game's own `addDesc`.
+* The rows are appended once at startup, because `ctrwin4` is built once
+  rather than rebuilt on each open.
+* The inputs carry a `mod_optn` class. The settings window already contains a
+  number input of the game's own (the message log limit), so a bare
+  `input[type=number]` selector picks up the wrong one.
+
+Ten checks pass: the boxes render and are visible when the window opens,
+typed values reach the real game state, the exp multiplier measurably changes
+exp granted (7x in gives exactly 7x out), bad and out-of-range input is
+clamped, Enter commits, the tick refresh leaves a focused box alone, console
+changes flow back into the boxes, all three values survive a reload, the
+settings window still opens and closes with the rest of its options intact,
+and a normal save/load cycle is unaffected. No page errors.
+
+## Save compatibility
+
+This drove most of the design, and all of it is verified by test:
+
+* The game saves milestone "granted" flags **by array index**. So milestones
+  are only ever **appended**, never inserted — inserting would shift indices
+  and silently mark the wrong perks as granted.
+* On load the game re-fires any milestone at or below your current skill level
+  that isn't flagged granted, so appended milestones are awarded
+  retroactively on an existing save. That's intended here.
+* The game saves each skill's exp and `p` **positionally** over `for..in skl`.
+  New skills are therefore added at the **end** of the `skl` object, which
+  happens naturally because `mod.js` runs after the game script.
+* Actions are saved by id, not position, so new actions are safe.
+* Loading a save resets every action's `have` flag, so a pre-mod save comes
+  back without the new actions. A cheap 5s check re-grants any that are
+  missing. `giveAction` only fires when `have===false`, so it doesn't spam.
+  *(Superseded: the actions are earned now, and the timer is gone — see "The
+  added actions are earned now".)*
+* Skill **level and milestone flags** load by matching `id`, not position — so
+  a skill can be *removed* without corrupting others, as long as no surviving
+  skill reuses a departed id. The v2 consolidation relies on this: survivors
+  keep their original ids, merged-away ids just find no match. See "Balance,
+  sixth pass".
+
+Tested: a save made in the **unmodded** game loads in the modded game with
+every level, stat and perk flag identical, old perks still granted, new tiers
+correctly withheld until you reach those levels, and the new skills sitting at
+level 0 ready to train. `savecompat.mjs` extends this to a **v1-mod** save
+(100 discovered skills) loading under **v2** (10): clean load, no error
+screen, every surviving skill intact.
+
+## Undo
+
+- Disable the mod: delete the `<script src="mod.js">` line from `index.html`
+- Revert `index.html`: `git checkout index.html`
+- The mod adds nothing to your save that the base game chokes on, but export a
+  save before big experiments anyway
+- Put back the pre-v4.2 pacing: `setXpCurve({vanillaTo: 0})` gives a pure
+  geometric curve that reaches 110 in the same time the old one did — the old
+  shipped `50 × 1.106^lvl` at a 2x multiplier, and this is the same time budget
+  at 1x, so do **not** also set the multiplier to 2 or it runs twice as fast as
+  it ever did. `setMoneyDrops(0.15)` puts back the old coin drop. The curve
+  setting lasts until the next reload
+- Show numbers as the original does: `setNumberFormat('game')`
+
+
+## 49. Catching up a hidden tab
+
+The game's loop is a chained `setTimeout`; a hidden tab clamps those to once a second
+and, after five minutes, once a minute (documented browser behaviour, not measured
+here: it needs five minutes of a real hidden tab). `ontick` is wrapped: when more than
+two ticks' worth of wall-clock time has passed since the last one, the missed ticks are
+replayed (capped at `MOD_CATCHUP.maxSec`, default 3600, in game seconds at the current
+speed), and so are the seconds of the running action. Combat is not replayed and the
+fight flag is read once before the loop, since replayed ticks can end a fight. The cap
+is `p23_mod_catchup`, carried in `mod_settings`. Name hazard: the wrapper is
+`MOD_ontick_before_catchup`; section 1 already owns `MOD_ontick_original`, and a second
+`var` of that name made both wrappers call themselves (stack overflow at load).
+
+
+## 51. Creatures held one weapon
+
+Measured: all 48 creatures had `eqp[0] === eqp.dummy`, whose `aff` read `[4,9,7,-12,12,0,0]`
+and `cls` `[7,7,7]` (the last of 32 per-creature lines). Enemy damage multiplies by
+`100 + eqp[0].aff[atype]*10 + atk.affp*10 + eqp[0].cls[ctype]*10`, so a bat hit with the
+wrong creature's affinities, and the player's unarmed fists (also the dummy; load() sets
+`cls[2] = lvl/4`, `aff[0] = lvl/5`) raised every physical/blunt creature's damage with the
+player's level. Fixed by cloning per creature and reading his lines back from `MOD_gameSource()`.
+Scaled fights measure real `dmg_calc`, so section 8 re-sizes itself; on Original his creatures
+now hit with their own affinities. Balance and fights suites pass unchanged.

+# proto23 — local mod
+
+A mod for [proto23](https://github.com/23html/23html.github.io), a single-file
+idle RPG by [truezhangwei](https://github.com/23html). This is a fork; the game
+is the author's work and `index.html` is theirs, unchanged apart from one line.
+
+Everything the mod does lives in **`mod.js`**, loaded by a single tag appended
+to the bottom of `index.html`:
+
+```html
+<!-- local mod: remove this line to disable -->
+<script src="mod.js"></script>
+```
+
+Delete that line and the game is stock again. `git checkout index.html` also
+works, and is the only reason it is the sole change to that file.
+
+## Playing it on the author's site, with nothing to download
+
+Install [Tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) or
+[Violentmonkey](https://violentmonkey.github.io/) in your browser — on Safari,
+Tampermonkey or the free [Userscripts](https://github.com/quoid/userscripts)
+extension — then open
+[`userscript/proto23-mod.user.js`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xeus24/23html.github.io/main/userscript/proto23-mod.user.js)
+and accept the install. The next time you open
+[23html.github.io](https://23html.github.io/), the whole mod runs on it, and your
+save there is backed up before the mod first touches it (`modBackups()` in the
+console lists the backups). The manager checks the same address for updates.
+
+Turning the userscript off gives you the author's game back, but a save the mod
+has written to keeps the mod's extra fields. Download a backup from the saves
+panel first if you want to go back and forth.
+
+**On Safari, download a backup now and then.** Safari can clear a site's stored
+data when you have not visited it for a while (seven days of browsing, under its
+tracking prevention), and the saves and the automatic backups both live there.
+A downloaded backup file is the copy that survives it. The mod reminds you, at
+most once a day, until you have downloaded one that week.
+
+## Running it
+
+Open `index.html` in a browser, or serve the folder:
+
+```bash
+npx http-server -p 8080 -c-1 .
+```
+
+`-c-1` disables caching. Without it the browser holds `mod.js` for an hour and
+edits appear not to take, which is confusing enough to be worth the flag.
+
+## Playing it from the fork's own site
+
+The repository root is the game with the mod's one script tag already in it, so
+GitHub Pages can serve it as it stands: in the fork's **Settings > Pages**, set
+the source to **Deploy from a branch**, branch `main`, folder `/ (root)`. It is
+then at `https://xeus24.github.io/23html.github.io/`, with no userscript and no
+download. `.nojekyll` at the root tells Pages to serve the files as they are.
+
+Saves live in the browser per site, so this address is a separate save from
+[23html.github.io](https://23html.github.io/) and from a local copy: move a
+character between them with the saves panel's export and import.
+
+## What it changes
+
+Fifty-one sections, roughly in the order they were built. The design record
+for every one of them, including the reasoning and what was measured, is in
+[MOD-NOTES.md](MOD-NOTES.md). Version 4.7.
+
+**Measured against the original**
+
+The mod is checked against the author's untouched game: a test loads it twice,
+once with `mod.js` blocked, and runs the same measurements on both.
+
+- Skill exp costs **exactly what the original charges below level 10**. That is
+  the range he designed — all 22 of his perk ladders end between level 1 and 15.
+  From level 10 the cost rises about 3% a level, at a rate solved so level 110
+  is reachable in the same time as before. His own curve cannot be kept past
+  that: 109→110 alone costs about 10¹⁴ xp.
+- Skill exp multiplier 1 and enemy coin drops off, the original's defaults —
+  both adjustable in settings.
+- **Fights in the author's areas are his**, creature for creature, so you
+  out-grow them the way you do in his game. A *Fights* setting switches to
+  *Scaled*, where every fight is sized to you.
+- Every price the progression asks for is checked against what you can earn
+  at that point with no coin drop.
+
+**Progression**
+
+- Skill level caps tied to story progress, 10 through 110.
+- Perks at 10/25/50/60/75/90/110 on every skill.
+- The dojo's "Level Advancement" ladder carried from level 30 to 110, which is
+  what the instructor promises and the base game stops delivering.
+
+**Combat and places**
+
+- An enemy model for everything the mod adds, and for the whole game on the
+  *Scaled* setting. It is solved per spawn against your measured power — about
+  8 swings to kill, 20 to die — rather than fitted to a level. See the note
+  below on why the obvious approach does not work here.
+- Three areas past the base game's last — the Sunken Hollow, the Ashen Spire and
+  the Long Vigil — opening in order once the golem arena is cleared. An entrance
+  to the author's catacombs, the Pill Tower, and the Damp cellar, which he wrote
+  and never connected.
+- **The rank ladder.** The Power rank under your portrait is computed from your
+  stats, and rank 1 was only reachable by taking every single skill to 110. The
+  Hall of the First Gate adds ten named challengers, fought in order; beating
+  one takes that rank, and the rank you hold floors the rank you are shown
+  without ever capping it.
+- **Crafting to five stars.** The base game's crafting stops at two in practice.
+  Four new rungs add a full set each — weapon, armour, shield, accessory, tonic —
+  from twelve gathered materials at four resource nodes that open with the story.
+
+**Cultivation**
+
+- **Ten realms above Mortal**, Qi Refining through Tribulation Transcendence,
+  advanced by breaking through a bottleneck. Each is worth a compounding
+  multiplier — up to ×6 on every stat and ×8.5 on health and energy.
+- **The road between them**, modelled on the genre's own glossary: a Spiritual
+  Root rolled once, nine layers to every realm, insight earned by meditating,
+  by fights you nearly lost and by going somewhere new, Closed Door Training to
+  consolidate and shelter an attempt, Qi Deviation for failing in the open, and
+  a Heavenly Tribulation at the top. Each wall is sized to the climb to it:
+  about 5% of the time it took.
+- Six elemental mastery skills whose techniques fire during combat.
+- Your realm sits on the rank line, and at a bottleneck it is the breakthrough
+  button.
+
+**Skills, titles and items**
+
+- Skills of the mod's own, five earned actions, and effects for the skills and
+  affinities the base game left inert.
+- **Skill rarity** — ten grades, from the level you have taken a skill to —
+  shown in the list and tooltips, with a sort and a filter.
+- **Folding.** A Jade Slip folds a skill into its section; fold a whole section
+  and it is one line. Folded skills keep every level, perk and buff.
+- Title ranks 1–10, derived from the level that earns the title rather than
+  assigned by feel; five titles per skill; titles that do something, worn or
+  made passive by Renown; and four of the author's unfinished titles finished.
+- Selling, with anything that is the only way to unlock something protected.
+- Three bugs in the author's own code fixed: the Death skill made dying cost
+  *more* energy as it levelled, Shield Mastery could turn your defence into
+  extra damage taken, and luck never reached the crit roll.
+
+**Quality of life**
+
+- Three save slots, with a "start new save" button, and **automatic backups**:
+  before a new version of the mod loads, every slot is copied first, and again
+  once a day. The saves panel restores any of them, or downloads it as a file.
+- A **Pacing** setting — *Original* (the default) or *Mod before 4.2*, the
+  faster pacing and scaled fights the mod had before it was matched to the
+  original, kept as a legacy option.
+- **Settings travel with the save**: a new browser or device takes them from it,
+  and one with settings of its own keeps those.
+- Settings boxes for game speed, skill exp, coin drops and **number format** —
+  short (4.56M), scientific, myriads (5.6亿) or as the original. Up to 9,999
+  every format prints exactly what the original prints.
+- An optional "unrestricted actions" toggle — several actions at once, started
+  anywhere. Off by default; both are deliberate limits.
+- Collapsible skill sections, live effect descriptions, and a title picker
+  grouped by skill.
+- **A wiki**, on the bottom bar and in settings. Fifteen pages covering every
+  skill, area, item, title, action and realm, generated from the live game data
+  each time it opens and reading your save — including a skill handbook and a
+  **What next** page that says what you can do right now.
+
+Every change is logged in `changelog/mod-changelog.html`, reachable in game from
+the `changelog` button in the bottom bar. The version number next to it opens the
+game's own changelog, which the mod does not touch.
+
+## The one thing to know before changing anything
+
+`dmg_calc` is **subtractive in both directions**: an attack does
+`attacker.str − defender.str`. A defender's STR *is* their armour. So scaling an
+enemy's STR raises its offence and its armour together, and once that armour
+passes your STR your damage does not get small — it clamps to zero.
+
+An earlier version of the mod did exactly that, fitted with a grid search scored
+on `enemyHP / playerSTR`, a ratio that ignores the subtraction entirely.
+Measured through the game's real combat math, the tutorial needed 63,000 swings
+and killed you in one, and every tier from the southern forest onward was
+kill-in-1 / die-in-1. Judge a fight by driving `dmg_calc` and `hit_calc`, never
+by a stat ratio.
+
+## Tests
+
+```bash
+npm install && npx playwright install chromium   # once
+npm test                                          # all 48 scripts, four at a time
+./tests/run.sh audit combat                       # a subset
+JOBS=1 npm test                                   # one at a time, output live
+BROWSER=webkit npm test                           # on Safari's engine (npx playwright install webkit)
+```
+
+They drive a real browser against a served copy of the game, so they test the
+actual thing rather than a model of it. [tests/README.md](tests/README.md)
+explains what each one covers. The broadest is `allareas.mjs`: every area, every
+creature, both ends of every level band, ten story tiers, four skill builds —
+3,720 matchups, all of which must be winnable. `vanilla.mjs` holds the mod to
+the original game wherever it claims to match it, and `baseline.mjs` keeps the
+numbers that define the balance in a committed file, so any change to them shows
+up as a diff. `fights.mjs` holds the author's areas to his page spawn for spawn,
+and `econ.mjs` holds every required price to what that stage pays.
+
+The same suite runs on GitHub for every push and pull request, on Chromium and on
+WebKit (the engine Safari is built on), along with a check that the author's
+files are untouched (`tests/authorfiles.sh`).
+
+**Several tests write to the save.** Export one first, or run them against a
+copy of the folder.
+
+## Layout

+## Credit
+
+The game is truezhangwei's. Everything in `mod.js`, `userscript/`, `tools/`,
+`tests/`, `MOD-NOTES.md` and this file is a modification of it, and none of it
+is endorsed by the author. The userscript runs on the author's site in your own
+browser; it changes nothing on the site itself.

+PROTO23 MOD &mdash; CHANGELOG<br>
+<span style="color:grey">Changes made by the local <code>mod.js</code>. None of this is the work of the
+game's author &mdash; the game's own changelog is <a href="changelog.html">here</a>.<br>
+Remove the <code>&lt;script src="mod.js"&gt;</code> line from index.html and none of it applies.</span><br>

+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (a pill for the wall):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/10/07]</span><br>
+<b>Stuck at a realm 6-10 wall without the pill? The instructor keeps one back.</b> The dojo's pills for those realms are<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;paid at character levels (45, 60, 75, 90, 105), while the walls are Circulate Qi levels, so a wall could come<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;before the level that pays for it. "A pill for the wall" on the dojo screen gives that realm's pill once; the level<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;reward for the same realm then skips its pill<br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (creature gear):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/10/07]</span><br>
+<b>Creatures no longer share one weapon.</b> In the game every creature held the same object, and the affinities the author<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;wrote for 16 of them were all written onto it, so each creature carried whichever was written last. Your bare fists<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;were that same object too, so your level raised physical and blunt creatures' damage. Each creature now has its own<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;gear with the values he wrote for it, and your fists are your own<br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (dishes, a screen fix):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/10/07]</span><br>
+<b>Fifteen dishes nothing could teach are now taught by Cooking.</b> Bacon and Eggs, Morning Set, Lunch Set, Onion Rings,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Cooked Fish, Batter Fried Fish, Fried Nori, Steamed Bun, Hippo Cookie, Steak, Cinnamon Bun, Broth, Egg Soup, Creamy<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Chowder and Mushroom Soup were in the game and unreachable. You work each out at a Cooking level from 6 to 44, simplest<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;first. Trinity, Star Shell and Grand Gelatin (his late accessories) are still unteachable<br>
+<b>The gate's two locked-door hints no longer wrap</b> over the line below them; the full sentence is in the tooltip<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling, not gameplay: a check that draws every mod screen with a capped character and a very long name; the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;step from the author's last area to the Hollow is now held winnable with margin</span><br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (background tabs):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/10/07]</span><br>
+<b>A game left in a background tab catches up.</b> Browsers slow a hidden tab's timers to about once a minute, so the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;game nearly stopped while you were away. When it next runs, the mod replays the missed time, up to an hour: the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;clock, restocks and weather, and the seconds of the action you were doing. Fights are never replayed, so being<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;away cannot kill you. <code>setCatchUp(seconds)</code> changes the cap, 0 turns it off; it travels with your save<br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (wiki search):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/10/07]</span><br>
+<b>The wiki search covers every page.</b> The page list shows how many entries match on each page, dims the ones with none,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;and Enter jumps to the first page that has a match<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling, not gameplay: package-lock.json is now committed (it was ignored, so every GitHub run failed at install)</span><br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (pills and hosting):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/30]</span><br>
+<b>The Pill Tower stocks the top realm pills sooner.</b> A day is 24 real minutes and the Tower restocks every three, so<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;realm 10's pill at 6% took about twenty hours on average. Realms 8, 9 and 10 now stock at 26%, 20% and 15%: about<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;4.6, 6 and 8 hours, rising with the realm<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling, not gameplay: instructions in the README for playing from the fork's own GitHub Pages site, and a<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>.nojekyll</code> file so Pages serves the files as they are; a check that every Tower pill is in stock within 8 hours</span><br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (small):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/30]</span><br>
+<b>Skill rarity has a grade marker.</b> A small number after a skill's name (2 to 10) gives its rarity rank, so it reads<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;without colour. Rank 1 shows nothing<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling, not gameplay: GitHub caches the downloaded test browsers between runs; a check for the marker</span><br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7 (housekeeping):</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/29]</span><br>
+<b>Switching save slots cannot pull in another slot's settings.</b> A browser now takes settings from a save once, on<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;its first load; a later load (a slot switch) leaves the browser's own settings alone<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling, not gameplay: a check that the docs' stated numbers (sections, scripts, version, suite time) match the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;source; the tests now run on Firefox in GitHub too; the docs' script count is 42<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;(the suite takes about 75 seconds)</span><br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.7:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/28]</span><br>
+<b>The Qi Settling Pill costs what failing cost.</b> Qi Deviation now lasts as long as the seclusion you skipped &mdash;<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;up to 91 in-game days at the top &mdash; and a flat 5,200 made it ten minutes of late-game coin. It now costs the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;breakthrough pill of the realm you failed at, never less than before<br>
+<b>The rank line shows the wall</b>: at a bottleneck it reads, for example, "½ step to Nascent Soul &gt;&gt; 40/104" &mdash; the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;insight you have against what it asks for<br>
+<b>Your settings travel with your save.</b> A browser with no settings of its own takes pacing, fights, number format,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;speed and the rest from the save, so moving to a new browser or device brings them. One that has its own keeps them<br>
+<b>After an update the log says so</b>, once, with the changelog a click away<br>
+<b>On Safari, a reminder to download a backup</b>, at most once a day and not after you have downloaded one. Safari can<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;clear a site's saved data after a week unvisited, backups included<br>
+<b>The userscript says so in the game</b> when the author's game is a version the mod was not tested on<br>
+<b>Near-death insight, explained</b>: the wiki says where fights you nearly lost actually happen. On Original fights his<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;areas are no threat once you reach them; the three past the golem arena and the rank duels bring you there within a<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;few fights. No wall needs it &mdash; each can be met by sitting alone<br>
+<b>Small visuals</b>: the mod's number boxes lose the spinner arrows that sat on their digits in Safari, and the wiki uses a<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;proper monospace font where the game's is missing, so tables wrap the same everywhere. The old pacing preset is<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;labelled legacy: it is kept exactly as it was, and its prices come cheap<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling: every tooltip in the game (1,367 of them) is rendered and read in a new check, so a description<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;that shows code fails the suite; the spirit pills and the Root Cleansing Pill are priced against income too; and the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;tests wait for the game to tick instead of a flat 4.5 seconds &mdash; the whole suite is about 75 seconds. 40 checks.</span><br>
+<br>
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.6:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/28]</span><br>
+<b>Fights as the author wrote them.</b> A new <i>Fights</i> setting, and <i>Original</i> is the default: every area the author<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;made has his creatures exactly as he made them &mdash; his level ranges, his HP, his exp &mdash; so you out-grow<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;them the way you do in his game. The forest goes back to a swing or two a kill<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;The mod's own areas (the three past the golem arena, and the rank duels) are still sized to you, since<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;there is no original of them. <i>Scaled</i> is the old behaviour everywhere, and the <i>Mod before 4.2</i> preset picks it<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Raw Meat is back to the author's 6% on Original: the raise to 18% only made up for the mod's longer fights<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Checked against the author's own page: all 70 spawns in his areas come out stat for stat the same, and<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;every step of his route past the tutorial is winnable at the point you first reach it.</span><br>
+<b>Breakthrough walls sized to the climb.</b> Realms 3 to 10 take days to months of Circulate Qi on the current skill<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;curve, but the insight they asked for (5 to 19) and the fifteen minutes of seclusion were sized for when<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;they took minutes, and meditating on the way up paid for every wall long before you reached it<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Now a wall asks for about 5% of the climb to it, and meditating only earns insight while you are at one.<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Realm 3's wall is 60 insight, about 1.4 hours in seclusion; realm 10's is 1,580, about 37 hours<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Full consolidation takes as long as seclusion takes to earn that insight, so sitting it out finishes both,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;and failing in the open leaves you deviated for as long as the seclusion you skipped. The wiki's cultivation<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;page has the table. Realms 1 and 2 are as they were<br>
+<b>The Pill Tower's top pills cost what you can earn.</b> Realm 8, 9 and 10 were 900K, 2.4M and 7M, priced when<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;enemies dropped coin. With the original's no coin drop, they are 540K, 560K and 6.5M<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Measured: the best income at every stage, from fighting in each area and gathering at each node, against<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;every price the ladder requires. The rule is that none costs more than 10% of the climb it gates. The<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Herbalist's pills and the Jade Slips already passed; all hundred slips come to about 4% of what the game<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;pays after the Slip Archive opens.</span><br>
+<b>Play it on the author's hosted game</b>, with no local copy: userscript/proto23-mod.user.js, for Tampermonkey or<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Violentmonkey. It runs the whole mod on https://23html.github.io/, and your save there is backed up before the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;mod first touches it<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling, not gameplay: the tests run on GitHub for every push and pull request; a check that the author's<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;two files are still his (his changelog byte for byte, index.html his plus the one script tag); and the test<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;runner reports seconds per script. allareas, listed as the slow one, now takes about seven seconds, so it<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;was left as it is. New checks: fights.mjs and userscript.mjs; econ.mjs is now a real check rather than a<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;printout. 38 in all.</span><br>
+<b>Safari.</b> The skill list no longer wraps each exp bar onto a second line (Safari's scrollbar left the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;row a few pixels short, which also made the list scroll sideways); the mod's dropdowns in settings match<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;the panel instead of showing as grey system buttons; and clicking a section header no longer selects its text<br>
+<b>The realm tooltip</b> on the rank line showed a page of program code instead of your realm, root, insight and<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;breakthrough odds. It shows those now<br>
+<b>The skill list does far less work</b> while it is open: it only redraws what changed each second, rather than<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;every line &mdash; about ten times cheaper, in every browser<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling: every check can now run on WebKit, the engine Safari is built on, and GitHub runs them on<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;both. The Safari problems above were invisible in Chrome's test browser, which has no scrollbar width.<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;On Safari, download a backup now and then: it can clear a site's saved data after a week unvisited.</span><br>
+<br>
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.5:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/28]</span><br>
+<b>Three bugs in the author's own code, fixed.</b><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Death made dying worse the more you levelled it.</b> You kept 55% of your energy at level 0, none at<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;level 10, and went into NEGATIVE energy from level 11 &mdash; the opposite of what the skill says. It now<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;keeps 55% at level 0, exactly as before, rising to 78% at 10 and 96% at 110<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Shield Mastery could turn your defence into extra damage.</b> At high levels one bracket in the enemy's<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;damage went below zero and your defence was added to the hit instead of taken off it. That bracket<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;now stops at zero. Nothing changes where it was already fine<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Luck never touched your crit chance.</b> The author wrote a luck multiplier and then declared it where<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;the crit roll could not see it. It works now, up to a 50% crit chance from luck<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Why the cap: the mod's perks grant far more luck than the author's game ever did, and through his<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;formula a capped-out character would crit on every swing. Enemies are sized with it included.</span><br>
+<b>Breakthrough history</b> on the What next page: your last attempts, their odds, and how each ended<br>
+<b>Backups: once a day as well</b>, in their own place so they cannot push out an update's backup; and any<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;backup can be <b>downloaded as a file</b> and loaded back, so a save survives clearing the browser<br>
+<b>Shop prices read</b>: the mod's own stock (pills to seven million) follows your number format. The base<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;game's prices, all under 10,000, are untouched<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Tooling: tests for the cultivation road (every rule, which until now had only been checked by hand),<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;for the three fixes, and a balance baseline &mdash; the numbers that define the balance are kept in<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;tests/baselines/balance.json, so any change to them shows as a diff. 36 checks, all passing.</span><br>
+<br>
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.4:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/27]</span><br>
+<b>Your saves are backed up before a new version of the mod loads.</b> Every slot, copied before the game<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;has even read its save. Three are kept. The saves panel lists them, restores one, or backs up on demand<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">It is the very first thing the mod does when it loads, and depends on nothing after it: an<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;update that breaks is exactly when you want the backup, and a broken section stops everything<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;below it while the game goes on loading and autosaving. Restoring puts every slot back, and backs<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;up what you had first, so it can be undone. It restores your saves, not the mod's code.</span><br>
+<b>A Pacing setting</b>: <i>Original</i>, the default since 4.2, or <i>Mod before 4.2</i> &mdash; skills much faster early,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;skill exp 2x and a 15% coin drop, exactly as the mod played before. Level 110 is the same distance<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;away in both, and fights are the same. Change one of those boxes yourself and it reads <i>Custom</i><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">New checks: tests/backups.mjs and tests/pacing.mjs. The backup check caught a real bug before it<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;shipped: when there was no room, it cleared every older backup to make space and then lost them<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;anyway when the copy still did not fit. It now frees only the one it is replacing.</span><br>
+<br>
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 4.3:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/27]</span><br>
+<b>Documentation, not gameplay: the notes and READMEs brought up to date.</b><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;MOD-NOTES.md opens with an overview of the mod as it stands at 4.3, and gains the missing<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;chapters for 4.0 to 4.3. Older passages that later versions changed now carry a dated note<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;beside them rather than being rewritten, since the reasoning is the point of that file<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Two corrections along the way: the notes gave the top realm as "Ascendant" (it is Tribulation<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Transcendence), and the README listed seven realms, Mortal through Ascendant (there are ten above<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Mortal). Both READMEs now describe 43 sections, 31 test scripts and 3,720 matchups.</span><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Repository: the checkout's remotes were renamed &mdash; origin is the fork, upstream is the author's<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;game &mdash; so the author's-changelog check is now against upstream/main.</span><br>
+<b>modHelp() lists every console command</b> &mdash; fifty-four, grouped by purpose. It listed six, from the first<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;version, and said skill exp resets on reload, which stopped being true when the settings box<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;began persisting it. A check now fails if a new command is left out of it<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Housekeeping: the code comments in sections 38 and 39, and two lines of the 4.0 entry below,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;quoted Wuxiaworld's glossary at length. They paraphrase and cite it now. CLAUDE.md brought up to<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;date as well: the remotes, five actions, the dead wrappers now removed, and current counts.</span><br>
+<br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/26]</span><br>
+<b>Your realm is on the main screen, and it is the breakthrough button.</b><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;The rank line now reads "rank: 135T &middot; Core Formation 5/9". At a bottleneck it says "&frac12; step to<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Nascent Soul &gt;&gt;" and clicking it breaks through, with the same checks, odds and tribulation as ever.<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Its tooltip shows your root, your insight, whether you hold the pill, your odds, and whether<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;you are sheltered in seclusion<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">A new check (tests/vanilla.mjs) loads the game twice, once with this mod blocked, which is<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;the author's game exactly, and runs the same measurements on both.</span><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Skills cost exactly what the original charges, for the first ten levels.</b> The mod's old curve<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;was 12x faster than the author's at level 5 and 364x faster at level 10, which is exactly the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;range he designed: all 22 of his perk ladders end between level 1 and 15. From level 10 it<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;rises about 3% a level, at a rate worked out so level 110 is exactly as far away as it was<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Why not match him to 15, his last perk? His level 15 alone costs 823,099 xp, and ninety-five<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;more levels even at that flat price is two and a half times the whole budget.</span><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Skill exp is 1x and enemy coin drops are off</b>, the original's values. Both were raised by this<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;mod (2x, 15%). The coin drop is the author's own mechanism, switched on only by the Coin Ring<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;and the Ring of Greed; at 15% under them those two rings were worthless. Both settings<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;boxes still work, and anything you set there yourself still wins<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Fixed: the six elemental masteries were stuck on the original's curve.</b> The mod installed its<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;curve before they existed, so level 20 cost 7,474,050 xp instead of 375 and their perks to<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;110 could not be reached<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Fixed: about one spawn in twenty came out much weaker than intended.</b> Enemy strength is set by<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;sampling 32 of your swings, and when none of them crit the crits were not averaged badly, they<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;were left out entirely, and they are 30% of your damage. Those spawns were ~20% short. Now<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;98% of spawns land within 4% of their intended fight length<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">The same bug in the balance tests is also why they sometimes failed on a rank duel and<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;passed on a re-run: 0.15% of the time they read a fight 40% longer than it was.</span><br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Not matched, on purpose: fight length.</b> At equal progression the original's early fights take<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;one or two swings and almost never hurt you, because you out-level its fixed creatures. This<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;mod holds every fight near 9 swings and 22 to die. The test prints that gap<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Hiding rather than removing is the whole design. Shortening the skill list breaks three<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;the tick, combat, and allbuff itself all make constantly. Measured on a cap-60<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;flag recovered 1/18.86 instead, and allareas immediately reported the player at 12 max<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;HP with six rank duels flipped to kill &gt; die; and Math.ceil rather than Math.round, to<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Both title screens are affected:</b> the game's own, and the mod's grouped picker. Both<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">A base-game bug, but the mod is what makes it loud: vanilla hands out around a hundred<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;tier 7, 20 at tier 8, and 1 at the very top. Ranks 1&ndash;10 all live inside the last fifteen<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;skill levels &mdash; at 108 across the board you are still rank 3 &mdash; after a whole game in<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;which the number is an unreadable ten-digit blob.</span><br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;Ten named challengers, rank 10 down to rank 1. Beating one takes that rank<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Strictly in order.</b> Rank N opens only when rank N+1 has been taken, and each rung also<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;wants a character level (60, 65, 70 ... 100, 110), so the ten fights span the endgame<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;instead of being one evening<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>The rank you hold floors the rank you are shown</b>, and never caps it &mdash; hold rank 6 with<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;rank-900 stats and it shows 6; pass it on your own and it shows the better number. A held<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;rank is painted gold<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color:grey">Implemented by wrapping <code>you.rank</code> and keeping the earned rank in <code>global.flags</code>, like<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;opens with <code>stat_r()</code>, which recomputes hpmax from the base &mdash; so the raised value only<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;survives until the next stat_r, and the tick calls that constantly. Sampled 43 times over<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;six seconds of real play on a cap-60 character, <code>you.hpmax</code> was 10,050 every time; the<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;hpTrack value of 184,754 never appeared. Every balance script reads it in the one instant<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;early, worst in the endgame. Written up in MOD-NOTES and CLAUDE.md; the fix is its own<br>

+&nbsp;&nbsp;is the Qi Circulation level that earns a rank 3 title, and its own title comes out rank 3<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Qi Refining &middot; Foundation Establishment &middot; Core Formation &middot; Nascent Soul &middot; Spirit Severing &middot;<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Soul Transformation &middot; Void Refinement &middot; Body Integration &middot; Great Ascension &middot; Tribulation Transcendence<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Reaching the Qi Circulation level does NOT advance you &mdash; it puts you at a bottleneck<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;A breakthrough costs a pill, and can fail; training past the requirement improves the odds<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Each realm multiplies every stat and widens what the body holds, up to x6 at the top<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Ten breakthrough pills, one per realm, and a title for each realm reached<br>
+<b>Elemental mastery.</b> The six Absorption skills were purely defensive &mdash; trained by being hit,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;and no way to use an element at all. Six Mastery skills to match them:<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light and Dark, each with a technique that fires in combat<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;"Lantern Splitting Palm", "Still Water Draw", "Hollow Gale", "Settling Weight",<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;"Noon Without Shade", "Lamp Going Out"<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;They scale with INT and their element rather than with your weapon, and are capped at<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;45% of strikes so a weapon still matters<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing fires below Qi Refining &mdash; your channels are not open yet<br>

+The mod's changelog moved out of the game's own file and into this one<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;It had been prepended to changelog/changelog.html above the author's entries, which meant<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;the mod was editing a file that was not its own. That file is now untouched &mdash; the only<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;change the mod makes to anything of the author's is the single script tag in index.html<br>
+The bottom-bar "changelog" button opens this file; the version number opens the game's, as it always did<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;(the version number's link was absolute, "/changelog/changelog.html", so it 404'd from a<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;file:// URL or any subdirectory &mdash; it is resolved relative to the page now)<br>

+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 2.4:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/08]</span><br>
+The dojo's Level Advancement ladder now runs to character level 110<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;It stopped at 30, though the instructor promises a reward "after every 5 levels you reach"<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Sixteen more rungs, 35 to 110 in fives, sequential like the original six<br>
+Four new spirit pill grades, sized against what a level actually costs<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Superior 100,000 &middot; Refined 600,000 &middot; Sublime 3,500,000 &middot; Transcendent 20,000,000 EXP<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;(a level at 110 costs 5,336,100 &mdash; the game's best pill was worth 0.3% of one)<br>
+A third grade of skillbook, +30% weapon mastery exp, offered as a CHOICE at the 50/75/100 rungs<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Sword Saint, Nightblade, Headsman, Dragoon, Earthbreaker and Iron Body Manuals<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;the same shape as the choice the instructor gives you the first time you clear the dummies<br>
+modDojo() prints the ladder and what is claimed<br>
+Repository: a README added, describing the mod, how to disable it, and how to run the tests<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;(not a game change &mdash; logged here because every change gets an entry)<br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 2.3:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/08]</span><br>
+Title ranks now run 1&ndash;10 and are derived from the level that earns them, not assigned by feel<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;rank 1 at lv 1, rank 3 at 18, rank 5 at 45, rank 7 at 70, rank 9 at 90, rank 10 at 110<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;(the base game gave out eight rank-3 titles at skill level 8&ndash;15 &mdash; Runner at 10, Rookie at 15)<br>
+Every skill now grants five titles, at levels 25 / 50 / 75 / 90 / 110 &mdash; ranks 3 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 10<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;465 new titles; the pool goes from 120 to 585, and all ten ranks are populated<br>
+Titles do something now: each raises its own skill's exp rate, 5% at rank 3 up to 30% at rank 10<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Only the title you are WEARING applies &mdash; which finally gives the selection screen a purpose<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;At renown level N, every title of rank N or lower applies permanently whether worn or not,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;so renown 10 makes the whole collection passive<br>
+Renown thresholds rescaled to the larger pool: level 10 now wants 550 titles rather than 100<br>
+modTitles() prints held/total by rank and which ranks have gone passive; modTitles(n) lists one rank<br>
+The title screen groups by skill &mdash; one row showing the best you hold, with a caret to open the rest<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Base-game titles group with the generated ones, so Rookie and Fighter sit under Fighting too<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Story titles have no skill and stay as plain rows below the groups<br>
+Titles are coloured by rank, in the picker and in the tooltip, and the tooltip states the rank<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;grey 1, cyan 2, lime 3, yellow 4, orange 5, purple 6, pink 7, red 8, gold 9, white 10<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;FIXED: the game's own rank 7 tooltip threw an error (it set `this.dl`, which is undefined<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;in that branch). It had never run because the base game had no title above rank 5 &mdash;<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;there are now 93 at rank 7. Ranks 1, 8, 9 and 10 had no colour at all<br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 2.2:</span><br>
+<span style="color:blue">[2026/09/08]</span><br>
+Perks now run the whole ladder &mdash; every skill has milestones at 10/25/50/60/75/90/110<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;(447 added; 81 of 94 skills previously gave nothing at all between level 51 and 110)<br>
+Perk rewards match the skill's type: resistances give resistance, absorptions give elemental defence,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;combat gives STR and crit damage, mental gives INT and EXP, gathering gives energy<br>
+Critical damage from combat perks kept deliberately small &mdash; it is shared by 13 skills and compounds,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;and at full value a crit reached 23x a normal swing, which made combat a coin flip on crits<br>
+The four added actions are earned now, not handed over on load<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Toughness 4 &rarr; Endurance Drill, Harvesting 4 &rarr; Forage,<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;Temperance 5 &rarr; Circulate Qi, Literacy 8 &rarr; Practice Calligraphy<br>
+New settings checkbox "Unrestricted actions": run several actions at once, and start them anywhere<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;(off by default &mdash; both are limits the base game means to impose)<br>
+Three save slots, with a "saves" panel and a "new save" button in the bottom bar<br>

+Enemy scaling rewritten &mdash; it had been scaling the wrong fields<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;An enemy's STR is subtracted from your damage, so scaling it armoured them instead of<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;lengthening the fight. The tutorial needed ~63,000 swings and killed you in one;<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;everything from the southern forest onward was kill-in-1 / die-in-1<br>
+Difficulty is now solved per spawn against your actual power: ~8 swings to kill, ~20 to die<br>
+Enemies in an area's higher level band are genuinely harder, and each creature keeps its own character<br>
+Arena golems are proper boss fights rather than the softest thing in the game<br>
+<br>
+
+<span style="color:gold;background-color:black">----MOD 2.0:</span><br>

+   Loaded as a plain <script> AFTER the game's own script, so it shares the
+   same global scope (the game declares everything with `var` at top level).
+
+   Contents:
+     1. Speed control      — setSpeed(n) / getSpeed(), persisted
+     2. Skill XP multiplier — 2x by default, setSkillXp(n) to change
+     3. Extended milestones — perks past the original lv ~15 ceiling
+     4. New skills + actions — Qi Circulation, Wildcraft, Calligraphy,
+                               Conditioning, each with a sustained action
+
+   SAVE COMPATIBILITY — why things are done the way they are:
+     * The game saves milestone "already granted" flags BY ARRAY INDEX
+       (save: `mst[m] = mlstn[m].g`). So milestones are only ever APPENDED,
+       never inserted. Inserting would shift the indices and silently mark
+       the wrong perks as granted.
+     * On load the game re-fires any milestone whose level is <= your current
+       skill level and isn't flagged granted. So appended milestones are
+       awarded retroactively on an existing save. That's by design here.
+     * The game saves each skill's exp and `p` POSITIONALLY over `for..in skl`.
+       New skills are therefore added at the END of the `skl` object, which is
+       what happens naturally since this file runs after the game script.
+     * Actions are saved by id, not position, so new actions are safe.
+
+   To disable everything: remove the <script src="mod.js"> line from
+   index.html. Nothing else in the game was modified.

+   0. A BACKUP OF YOUR SAVE BEFORE AN UPDATE LOADS  —  keep this first
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   v4.2 changed how fast skills level, on saves people were already playing.
+   That kind of change can always be undone in code; it cannot be undone in a
+   save the new version has already written over. So the first time a new
+   version of the mod loads, it copies the save — the live one and all three
+   slots — before the game has read it, let alone autosaved.
+
+   This is the FIRST thing mod.js does, and it depends on nothing below it, for
+   one reason: an update that breaks is exactly when you want the backup, and a
+   section that throws stops every line after it. The game still loads and
+   autosaves without the rest of the mod, so the copy has to exist before any of
+   that code has had the chance to fail. Plain literals for the save keys, then
+   — section 20's constants do not exist yet.
+
+   Three backups, oldest replaced first, under p23_backup_1..3 — "oldest" by a
+   sequence number, not the clock, which ties within a millisecond. A backup
+   that will not fit gives up with a warning, and it only ever frees the space
+   of the one it was replacing: an earlier version cleared every other backup to
+   make room and then lost them anyway when the retry failed too. Failing to back
+   up must never stop the game loading, and must never cost an older backup.
+   Restoring, and backing up by hand, are in section 44.

+   Two separate id schemes overlap on `item`, and missing the second one is how
+   twenty-six of the mod's items came to be labelled "Book".
+
+   1. The namespace block. `load()` resolves a saved id with
+      `itemgroup[(id+1)/10000<<0]`, itemgroup being [item, wpn, eqp, sld, acc],
+      so an `item` has to be under 10000.
+
+   2. The CLASS, which `dscr` type 1 reads straight off the number:
+
+          id < 3000          Food           (+ a "Tried: yes/never" line)
+          3000 <= id < 5000  Medicine/Tool

+          id >= 9000         Book           (+ a "Read: yes/never" line)
+
+   There is no field for it, and `stype` is not it either — the author's stype 4
+   spans Food, Medicine and Book. An ore at 9200 is a Book with a Read line, and
+   nothing errors. Everything the mod adds picks its id from here.

+/* --- Earning the actions ---------------------------------------------------
+   These used to be handed over 2.5 seconds after load and re-granted on a
+   timer, so a brand-new character had four unexplained abilities before
+   leaving the tutorial. They are now earned, through the game's own mechanism:
+   `skl.walk` level 1 is what grants the base game's "Run", from a milestone.
+
+   Each action hangs off the base-game skill it grows out of, so the thing you
+   were already doing is what teaches it:
+
+     Toughness  4   Endurance Drill       taking hits teaches you to condition
+     Harvesting 4   Forage                gathering teaches you to search
+     Temperance 5   Circulate Qi          letting go teaches you to hold
+     Literacy   8   Practice Calligraphy  read before you write
+
+   All four skills are trained by ordinary play — Toughness by being hit while
+   a slot is unarmoured, Harvesting by area drops, Temperance by discarding
+   possessions, Literacy by reading. None had milestones of its own past
+   level 5, so these append in ascending order and the save's index-keyed
+   "granted" flags stay lined up (tests/audit.mjs enforces that).
+
+   Why a milestone rather than a tick that watches for the condition: the
+   requirement then shows up in the skill panel as a perk like any other, the
+   game announces it in its own words, and load ordering is already solved —
+   milestones re-fire before the action list is rebuilt from the save, so a
+   replayed grant is overwritten by the saved list a moment later.
+
+   The perks carry a small stat bonus as well, because a perk in this game
+   always does something, and an entry that only granted an action would read
+   as a blank line in the panel.

+         ...
+         let dm = skl.fgt.use(); ...         // then layers skill effects on top
+       }
+
+   Because stat_r() resets first, effects applied here recompute cleanly every
+   call rather than compounding. Same path Fighting and the weapon masteries
+   already use.
+   =========================================================================== */

+skl.cnd.use = function () { you.str += you.str / 100 * (this.lvl * 3); };

+/* ===========================================================================
+   8. ENEMY SCALING AND NEW CONTENT
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Sections 3-7 make the player far stronger than vanilla, and the added skill
+   curve lets every skill reach the story cap, so player power runs away by a
+   factor of thousands across the ladder while lvlup() grows enemies linearly.
+   Something has to close that gap. Getting it right depends entirely on which
+   enemy FIELD you scale, so read this before touching any of it.
+
+   --- why the obvious model does not work ----------------------------------
+
+   dmg_calc (index.html) is SUBTRACTIVE in both directions:
+
+       you hit it :  (your STR * eff + weapon) * affinity  -  its STR   + 1
+       it hits you:   its STR * affinity  -  (your STR * eff + armour)
+
+   The defender's STR IS their armour. So multiplying an enemy's STR raises its
+   offence and its armour together, and the moment its armour passes your STR
+   your damage does not get small, it clamps to ZERO. AGL has the same problem
+   from the other end: it is the denominator of hit_calc(1), so scaling it drops
+   your hit chance as fast as it raises theirs.
+
+   The mod used to multiply strm/aglm/intm by one number and hpm by another,
+   fitted with a grid search scored on enemyHP/playerSTR and playerHP/enemySTR.
+   Both of those proxies ignore the subtraction, and measured through the game's
+   real math (tests/combat.mjs, tests/earlybal.mjs) the result was:
+
+       tutorial fight 1   99% of landed hits dealt 0 damage, ~63,000 swings to
+                          kill a straw dummy, and it killed you in 1
+       tier 3 onward      kill 1 / die 1 at every single tier - whoever swung
+                          first won
+
+   Not a tuning miss. The fields were wrong.
+
+   --- what is scaled now ---------------------------------------------------
+
+   Three things a fight can be, three separate fields, no crosstalk:
+
+       how long it takes to kill     ->  hpm            (enemy max HP)
+       how fast it kills you         ->  _modAtk        (see the dmg_calc wrap)
+       how often either side lands   ->  aglm           (solved for a hit rate)
+
+   Enemy STR stays at its base-game value (MOD_ENEMY.armor), because that field
+   is armour and touching it is what broke everything. Threat is delivered
+   instead by _modAtk, which the dmg_calc wrapper below applies to the attacker's
+   STR/INT for the duration of one attack roll only — offence without armour.
+
+   --- anchored to the player, shaped by the area ---------------------------
+
+   The targets are ratios (kill in N swings, die in M), not absolute curves, so
+   the dials are solved per spawn against the player's current power rather than
+   fitted to a level. That is deliberate: within tier 0 alone the player goes
+   from STR 1 to STR ~265, a 265x swing, and no fixed multiplier survives that.
+
+   Variety still comes from the area: each enemy is placed against the mean
+   level of the population it spawned from, so a lv 24 bat in a 14-24 basement
+   is genuinely harder than a lv 14 one, and each creature keeps its own stat_p
+   character on top of that.
+
+   The dials are two-sided. Flooring them at the base game's values sounds safe
+   and is not: it leaves pockets where the base game's own subtractive damage
+   has already made a fight unwinnable, and the floor prevents the fix. An enemy
+   can come out below its vanilla stats when your damage is small enough that
+   vanilla HP would take 21 swings.
+
+   Tune with setEnemyScale({kill: 12, die: 30}) and see modBalance().

+/* --- measuring rather than replicating -------------------------------------
+   An earlier version of this section replicated the two branches of dmg_calc so
+   a spawn could be solved analytically. That does not survive contact with the
+   real formula. Two things break it:
+
+   * It is ill-conditioned. Enemy damage is `attack - your defence`, and late on
+     your defence dwarfs the damage the subtraction is supposed to leave behind
+     (STR ~4.1M against a target of ~56k), so a 2% error in the replica is a
+     150% error in the result.
+
+   * The base game's defence term goes NEGATIVE. Its last multiplier is
+         (100 - (eqp[1].aff[atype]*5*(1+shdc/20) + target.cls[ctype]*5*(1+shdc/20)))/100
+     and with shdc at level 110 that bracket is 6.5, while `eqp.dummy` — the one
+     item object every unequipped slot and every monster shares — has had your
+     unarmed progression written into it by lvlup (`aff[0] = you.lvl/5`,
+     `cls[2] = you.lvl/4`). At character level 92 the multiplier is -12.3, so
+     your "defence" is added to the enemy's damage instead of subtracted, and a
+     lv 59 golem with 57 STR hits for 190 million. No attack-stat dial can
+     correct for a term of the wrong sign.
+
+   So nothing is replicated. Each spawn runs the game's own dmg_calc a handful of
+   times, in both directions, and is scaled against what actually came out.
+   MOD_probe parks the side effects while that happens: dmg_calc grants skill xp,
+   sets the crit flag and jiggles a DOM node, none of which may fire because a
+   monster walked into the room. giveSkExp is swapped locally rather than
+   flag-guarded because other sections wrap it too, and this must not depend on

+   9. PLAYER SURVIVABILITY — making the two curves actually meet
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Sweeping the enemy HP exponent showed enemy-side tuning alone cannot work:
+
+     hpPow   skills 30 / enemy 12      skills 50 / enemy 76
+     1.0     kill in 1,  die in 14     kill in 5,    die in 1
+     1.4     kill in 1,  die in 13     kill in 51,   die in 1
+     1.7     kill in 1,  die in 14     kill in 360,  die in 1
+     2.0     kill in 2,  die in 14     kill in 2277, die in 1
+
+   "die in 1" at every setting. The reason is on the player's side, not the
+   enemy's: across skill levels 10 to 30 the player's STR grows about 20x
+   (665 -> 13763) while max HP grows about 1.5x (1522 -> 2337). Offence is
+   exponential, defence is nearly flat. Any enemy tough enough to survive the
+   player's damage necessarily one-shots the player.
+
+   So defence is scaled to follow offence, rather than the player's damage
+   being cut. Nothing here weakens the character — it raises max HP by the same
+   curve the added skills raise damage, damped by hpTrack so combat still has
+   teeth.
+
+   This also replaced the two nested allbuff wrappers from sections 6 and 7
+   with a single one, so the pre-effect STR can be read at the right moment.
+   Section 10 then re-anchored on the game's allbuff in turn; all three
+   superseded wrappers were removed in v4.3.
+   =========================================================================== */

+  hpTrack: 0.92   // max HP follows offence as ratio^hpTrack; 1 = exactly, 0 = not at all
+};
+
+/* --- the body multipliers, in one place ------------------------------------
+   `stat_r` recomputes BOTH of the body's maximums from their inputs:
+
+       hpmax  = ceil((hp_r  + hpa ) * hpm  * hpe )
+       satmax = ceil((sat_r + sata) * satm * sate)
+
+   so nothing that ASSIGNS hpmax or satmax survives. That was the v3.9 hpTrack
+   bug, and section 28's realm body multiplier had exactly the same defect,
+   found while extending it: at Tribulation Transcendence, measured, `hpmax`
+   read 332 after allbuff and 39 after a single stat_r, `satmax` 1700 and then
+   200. The x8.5 the realm advertised lasted one call and was then gone, which
+   is why the ladder's top felt no sturdier than its bottom.
+
+   `hpm` and `satm` ARE inputs, so they survive — and both are SAVED
+   (`hpm:you.hpm`, `satm:you.satm`), so anything writing them has to divide its
+   own previous contribution back out or it compounds on every load, the way
+   `you.res` once did.
+
+   TWO contributors now want the same two fields, which is the reason for this
+   registry rather than a second delta-tracker beside the first. Two trackers on
+   one field cannot work: each recovers its base by dividing out its own factor,
+   and each would find the other's factor sitting inside that base and treat it
+   as something a milestone put there. So no one writes hpm/satm any more. Each
+   contributor publishes a FACTOR here, and MOD_applyBody() writes the product
+   once, with one delta flag per axis.
+
+   To add a contributor: give it a key below, set that key on EVERY call for
+   `you` — to 1 when it does not apply, or last call's factor lingers — and
+   never touch hpm, satm, hpmax or satmax yourself.
+
+   MOD_applyBody() is idempotent, which is what lets more than one wrapper call
+   it: the second call recovers the same base, computes the same product, and
+   writes the same numbers. `tests/cultivation.mjs` asserts that.

+   10. PROGRESSION LEVEL CAPS  +  100 MORE SKILLS
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   A. THE CAP
+   Skills stop gaining xp at a ceiling set by how far you have got in the
+   story. This is what keeps the whole thing bounded: the earlier sections made
+   player power exponential in skill level, and a cap turns that into a series
+   of finite steps instead of an open curve.
+
+   Tiers are read from `global.flags`, which the game saves and restores
+   (`global.flags = a1.e` on load), so the cap follows the save rather than the
+   browser. Each tier also has a base-game flag as a fallback, so a character
+   who already cleared that content is not stuck at a low cap.
+
+   B. THE SKILLS
+   A set discovered by playing — same machinery as section 7, reading the
+   game's own `global.stat.*` counters and environment state. All 44 of those
+   counters were checked to be incremented somewhere in the game. Originally
+   100; consolidated in v2 to 10 that each carry a family's worth of effect,
+   with the per-stat totals held exactly (see "Balance, sixth pass" in
+   MOD-NOTES).
+
+   Their continuous effects are summed per stat and applied ONCE, additively.
+   The 13 skills from sections 4 and 7 each multiply in sequence, which is what
+   produced the runaway curve; doing that with a hundred of them would be
+   absurd (100 skills at +15% compounding is ~1.2 million x). Per-level rates
+   are also normalised per stat, so a stat carried by 6 skills is not six times
+   weaker than one carried by many.

+   what makes the full ladder real. Measured per tier by `tests/capreach.mjs`.

+   Originally 100 (ids 1001-1100). Consolidated in v2 to 10: each family of
+   near-duplicate skills (the many weather/season/moon/combat/trade entries)
+   collapsed to one survivor whose `pct` is the SUM of the group's, so the

+   (see MOD_FLAGSHIP) are all retained. A trailing `// + key, key` on a row

+
+   Each survivor KEEPS its original v1 id (so the id list is now gappy). That
+   is deliberate for save compatibility: the game restores skill level and
+   milestone flags by matching `id` (index.html load(), `a6[a].id===skl[b].id`),
+   so a v1 save loads under v2 with every surviving skill's level and perks
+   intact — a merged-away id simply finds no match and is skipped. The only
+   casualty is the positional `exp`/`p` array (`a7`), which drifts for the
+   added skills past this point; `p` is the constructor default 1 on every one
+   of them (the mod never writes it), so that swap is a no-op, and `exp` is
+   just the progress bar, recomputed on the next xp tick. Full accounting:

+       `hpm` IS an input to stat_r, so it survives. It is also SAVED

+       contribution in `global.flags.mod_hpm` and divides it back out rather
+       than multiplying in again — the same delta pairing MOD_applyMoneyDrops
+       uses for `enmondren`, and for the same reason: `you.res` once compounded
+       on every load by skipping it.
+
+       `stat_r()` is deliberately NOT called here. The mod's own skill `use()`
+       calls above add straight into `you.str` and friends, and stat_r would
+       recompute those from (r + a) * m * e and wipe them. Setting hpmax by
+       hand alongside hpm keeps this call correct and leaves the next stat_r —
+       whenever it comes — to reach the same number on its own. */

+   15. SELLING
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The base game never implemented it. `Vendor` has `items` and `stock` and no
+   sell path, but four vendors carry a `dfl` field — a sell-back rate of 0.2 to
+   0.3 — that is assigned and read exactly zero times. The hook was left in and
+   never wired up, like the dead affinities.
+
+   The hard part is that prices live on the VENDOR'S stock entry, not on items:
+
+       vendor.stvr1.items = [{item: item.cbun1, p: 6, ...}]
+
+   so an item in your pack has no intrinsic worth. Only 55 of 543 item objects
+   are priced anywhere in the game. Values for the rest are derived, in this
+   order of preference — earlier rules use the author's own numbers, later ones
+   are increasingly inferred:
+
+     1. Vendor-priced        the author's price, exactly (55 items)
+     2. Craftable            sum of its recipe inputs x 1.25, resolved
+                             recursively from real rcp data
+     3. Equipment with stats 5.3 x (str+agl+int+spd+dpmax/10). The 5.3 is the
+                             MEDIAN price-per-stat of the 7 stat-bearing
+                             equipment anchors (their ratios run 3.4 to 9.6)
+     4. Anything else        that stype's median anchor price at rarity 1,
+                             times a rarity multiplier
+
+   Rule 4's rarity curve is the one genuinely invented part: the anchors are
+   52/55 rarity-1 items, with two at rarity 0 and one at rarity 2, so there is
+   nothing to fit above that. The two observations (rar 0 ~0.22x, rar 2 ~12.7x
+   of the rarity-1 median) bracket it; the curve below is a deliberate, more
+   conservative choice, and it is one line to retune.

+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Measuring the sell economy turned up the real problem: money has no combat
+   source. The code for enemies dropping coin is complete and working —
+
+       if(you.mods.enmondren>0) if(random()<you.mods.enmondren){
+         let aam = 1+rand(this.lvl<<0,(this.lvl/4)<<0)**(1+(this.rnk/5)<<0)*you.mods.enmondrts;
+         giveWealth(rand(aam*.5<<0||1,aam*1.5<<0||1)); }
+
+   — but `enmondren` defaults to 0, so the branch never runs. Only one
+   accessory (Ring of Greed, +0.03) ever turns it on. Another finished
+   mechanism left switched off, like `dfl` and the four affinities.
+
+   Enabled at a modest rate. The amount is the author's own formula, which
+   already scales with enemy level and rank, so higher areas pay more without
+   any new maths.
+
+   `you.mods` is saved, so the contribution is tracked in global.flags and
+   applied as a delta — the same pairing the affinity resistances use. Adding a
+   flat amount on every load would compound, and clamping to a fixed value
+   would erase the Ring of Greed's bonus.
+   =========================================================================== */

+   19. THE SKILL EXP CURVE
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The base game's per-skill curve is
+
+       expnext = round(50 + (lvl+1) ^ ln(9*lvl+1))
+
+   which is super-exponential: 109 -> 110 alone costs 1.16e14 xp, more than
+   every level beneath it combined, so the top of the cap ladder was 17,000
+   years away at max game speed (measured in tests/capreach.mjs). No xp
+   multiplier reaches that — the curve itself has to change.
+
+   Replaced (v2.x) with a plain geometric curve, `50 * 1.106 ^ lvl`, tuned so a
+   skill earning ~2 xp/tick reaches level 110 in about six months.
+
+   --- v4.2: the author's curve, where the author designed ------------------
+
+   Measured against the untouched game (tests/vanilla.mjs blocks mod.js and
+   runs the same code on both), that geometric curve was the single largest
+   departure from the original in the whole mod — and it was largest exactly
+   where the original was never broken:
+
+       level   original cost   geometric cost   the geometric curve was
+         5          1,003              83             12x faster
+        10         49,890             137            364x faster
+        15        823,099             227          3,600x faster
+
+   The author put perks on 22 skills, and every one of those ladders ends
+   between level 1 and 15 — ten or eleven for most. That is the range he
+   designed, and inside it the mod was letting a skill reach level 10 in a
+   hundredth of the time. It also doubled every skill's xp on top
+   (`MOD.skill_xp_mult: 2`), which the original does not.
+
+   So the curve is now in two parts:
+
+       levels 0 .. vanillaTo-1    EXACTLY the author's own formula
+       levels vanillaTo ..        geometric, continuing from his last level
+
+   and the geometric ratio is SOLVED, not chosen: it is whatever makes the whole
+   climb to 110 cost the same wall-clock time as the curve it replaced, at the
+   original's 1x multiplier. The end of the ladder is exactly as far away as it
+   was; what moved is where the time goes. The old curve front-loaded
+   everything — cap 60, the end of the author's content, in under an hour — and
+   then spent months on the last twenty levels. This one charges the author's
+   price for his levels and ramps about 3% a level after them.
+
+   Why 10 and not 15, his last perk: 15 cannot be matched and still reach 110.
+   His level 15 alone costs 823,099; ninety-five more levels at even that flat
+   price is 78 million xp, two and a half times the budget. Level 10 is the
+   highest start that leaves a ramp that still climbs rather than falls, and it
+   covers the bulk of his ladders. `setXpCurve({vanillaTo: n})` moves it and
+   re-solves the ratio; `vanillaTo: 0` is a pure geometric curve again.
+
+   Only SKILLS are re-curved. `you.expnext` (character level) is the base
+   game's own progression, is left alone, and tests/vanilla.mjs checks it is
+   still identical.

+   20. SAVE SLOTS
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Three independent saves, and a way to start a fresh character without
+   destroying the one you have.
+
+   The game stores exactly one save, under the localStorage key "v0.3", and
+   both save() and load() reach for that key directly. Renaming it per slot
+   would mean editing them, so instead **"v0.3" always holds whichever slot is
+   live** and each slot keeps a mirror alongside it:
+
+       v0.3               the live save — the game's own key, untouched
+       p23_slot_N         a copy of slot N, N in 1..3
+       p23_slotmeta_N     name / level / timestamp, for the panel
+       p23_slot_active    which slot is live
+
+   save() is wrapped to mirror into the active slot, so the copy is refreshed
+   every time the game saves by any route (button, autosave, an area's own
+   save call). Switching or starting a new game writes v0.3 and reloads the
+   page: the game reads its save once, from the load event, and has no notion
+   of unloading one.
+
+   Boot only adopts, never overwrites. If a slot mirror is missing, the
+   existing v0.3 becomes slot 1 — so an existing character is picked up rather
+   than orphaned. v0.3 is otherwise left alone, because it is the live truth
+   and a mirror can only ever be the same or staler.
+
+   The game's own "delete the save" button called localStorage.clear(), which
+   would take all three slots and the mod's settings with it. It is rebound
+   here to delete just the slot you are in.

+   21. UNRESTRICTED ACTIONS (opt-in)
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   One settings checkbox that does two things: lets sustained actions run at
+   the same time, and lets them start anywhere.
+
+   Both are off by default, because both are deliberate limits in the base
+   game. It is one shared timer and one `global.current_a` on purpose, and
+   every action's cond() is a designed restriction — Run refuses indoors,
+   Forage refuses in the dark. This is a comfort switch, not a fix.
+
+   --- how the game runs an action -------------------------------------------
+
+       activateAct(a)   global.current_a.deactivate(); a.activate();
+                        global.current_a = a
+       a.activate()     clearInterval(timers.actm);
+                        timers.actm = setInterval(() => this.use(), 1000)
+
+   So starting a second action stops the first, in two separate ways: the
+   explicit deactivate, and the shared `timers.actm` slot being overwritten.
+
+   --- what this does instead ------------------------------------------------
+
+   Rather than reimplement any of it, each action's own activate/deactivate is
+   wrapped and the timer SLOT is swapped around the call:
+
+       activate:    park whatever is in timers.actm, null the slot so the
+                    action's own clearInterval is a no-op, let it run and set
+                    timers.actm to its interval, move that onto the action,
+                    put the parked value back
+       deactivate:  put the action's own interval into the slot first, so the
+                    action's own clearInterval stops the right one
+
+   That works for the base game's Run and Investigate as written, and for the
+   mod's four, because all six use exactly the same clearInterval/setInterval
+   shape. Nothing about the timer handling is duplicated or guessed at.
+
+   Toggling an action off is the other half. The click handler reads
+
+       if(a.cond()===true && a.id!==global.current_a.id) activateAct(a)
+       else if(a.id===global.current_a.id) deactivateAct(global.current_a)
+
+   so only the most recent action can be clicked off. With conditions bypassed
+   the first branch always wins, so activateAct treats a click on an action
+   that is already running as "stop it" — which makes every row toggle again.

+   22. PERKS FOR THE TOP HALF OF THE LADDER
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Section 19 made level 110 reachable. Nothing was waiting up there.
+
+   Measured across all 94 skills before this section:
+
+       25 skills   no milestones at all
+       12 skills   nothing past level 10
+       44 skills   nothing past level 50   (the mod's own tiers stop there)
+       13 skills   something past 50, and only 10 of those go past 60
+
+   So 81 of 94 skills gave nothing at all between 51 and 110 — the entire top
+   half of a ladder the seventh pass had just spent its effort making real.
+
+   --- one rule, applied everywhere ------------------------------------------
+
+   Every skill gets the ladder rungs it does not already have:
+
+       10, 25, 50, 60, 75, 90, 110
+
+   appended at every level strictly above its current highest milestone. That
+   is uniform, needs no per-skill list, and is always ascending — which the
+   save format requires, since "granted" flags are stored by array index and
+   `tests/audit.mjs` fails the build if the order breaks. A skill topping out
+   at 50 gains four perks; one already reaching 75 gains two; one with none
+   gains the whole ladder.
+
+   The rungs are the cap ladder's own (60/75/90/110 are four of its tiers), so
+   reaching a new story cap and pushing a skill into it pay off together.
+
+   --- relevant, not uniform -------------------------------------------------
+
+   What each perk DOES comes from the skill's own type, so a resistance skill
+   gets resistance and an absorption skill gets elemental defence rather than
+   everything getting the same stat:
+
+       1 combat      STR and critical damage
+       2 physical    STR and max HP
+       3 agility     AGL
+       4 mental      INT and EXP gain
+       5 crafting    INT and energy efficiency
+       6 resistance  its own damage type, off you.res, plus max HP
+       7 absorption  its own element, off you.caff, plus INT
+       0 gathering   Harvesting alone, typed 0 by the base game
+       8 gathering   STR, max energy, energy efficiency
+       9 upkeep      INT and energy efficiency
+      10 social      luck and EXP gain
+
+   Two things deliberately avoided:
+
+   `skl.<x>.p` is never touched. Skill xp multipliers are restored from the
+   save AFTER milestones fire, so a newly added perk that raised one would have
+   its work overwritten on the very load that first granted it, and `g` would
+   then be true forever. Stats are restored BEFORE milestones, which is why
+   everything else here is safe.
+
+   Absorption perks use `you.caff` rather than `you.res`. Section 13 already
+   drives four of those skills continuously off `you.res`, reconciled through
+   `global.flags.mod_aff`; writing to the same table from a milestone would
+   fight that reconciliation.

+   24. TITLE RANKS, A TITLE PER SKILL TIER, AND WHAT THEY DO
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Three problems with titles as they stood.
+
+   RANK MEANT NOTHING. `rar` ran 0-5 and was assigned by feel, so the game
+   handed out rank 3 titles at skill level 8: Runner at Walking 10, Rookie at
+   Fighting 15, Dissector at Disassembly 8. Eight of them, all early.
+
+   THERE WERE TOO FEW. 120 titles across 93 skills, and 73 of those come from
+   story events rather than skills, so most skills granted none at all.
+
+   THEY DID ALMOST NOTHING. Four titles in the entire game carry a `talent`
+   (Walker, Jogger, and two others). The rest are pure flavour: the "SELECT
+   YOUR TITLE" window sets `you.title`, which is the name printed next to your
+   level and nothing else.
+
+   --- rank is derived now, not assigned ------------------------------------
+
+   A title's rank comes from the level at which it can first be earned:
+
+       rank   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10
+       level  1   8  18  30  45  58  70  82  90  110
+
+   Rank 10 therefore means level 110 and nothing else does. For the 47 titles
+   granted by a skill milestone the level is read straight out of the milestone
+   itself — `f.toString()` is scanned for a `giveTitle` call, so this stays
+   correct if a grant moves. The other 73 come from story events with no level
+   to read, so their author-assigned 0-5 is stretched onto the new scale
+   instead; that keeps the author's ordering and keeps ranks 9 and 10 meaning
+   "level 110", which is the point.
+
+   --- five per skill --------------------------------------------------------
+
+   Every skill grants a title at levels 25, 50, 75, 90 and 110 — ranks 3, 5, 7,
+   9 and 10 — which every skill has milestones for after section 22. 465 new
+   titles.
+   The grant is folded into the existing milestone at that level rather than
+   added as a new one, because two milestones at the same level would collide:
+   the save keys "granted" flags by array index and `tests/audit.mjs` rejects
+   duplicate levels.
+
+   Names are formulaic — a rank word chosen by skill type, then the skill.
+   With 372 of them generated, legible and consistent beats individually
+   crafted, and pretending otherwise would just make them hard to tell apart.
+
+   --- and they do something -------------------------------------------------
+
+   Each granted title raises its own skill's exp rate, in the spirit of the
+   handful the base game bothered to give a talent. That is `skl.<x>.p`, which
+   is restored from the save AFTER milestones fire — so it is emphatically NOT
+   set from milestone code. It is reconciled on the tick against a record of
+   what has already been applied, exactly the way section 13 handles `you.res`.
+
+   --- what "wearing" a title is for ----------------------------------------
+
+   Base-game talents were already permanent the moment the title was earned;
+   they never needed selecting. These new bonuses are the opposite by default:
+   only the title you are WEARING applies, which finally gives the selection
+   window a reason to exist.
+
+   Renown then buys that away. At renown level N, every title of rank N or
+   lower applies permanently whether worn or not, so renown 10 makes the whole
+   collection passive. The worn title always applies regardless of its rank.
+   =========================================================================== */

+   25. THE TITLE PICKER, GROUPED BY SKILL
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Section 24 took the pool from 120 titles to 585. The game's picker is a flat
+   list of every title held, in a 300px column — at five titles per skill that
+   is a scroll of hundreds of near-identical rows, most of them superseded by
+   the one below them.
+
+   So titles that come from the same skill collapse into one row showing the
+   best you hold, with a caret to open the rest:
+
+       > Warmaster of Fighting            (5)
+       > Bastion of Cold Resistance       (3)
+         Thrasher
+         Wolf Slayer
+
+   Titles the game hands out for story events have no skill to group under and
+   stay as plain rows, listed after the groups.
+
+   --- how it hooks in -------------------------------------------------------
+
+   The game's picker is built by an anonymous listener on dom.d3, so it cannot
+   be removed. Rather than clone the node — which would drop `dom.d3.update`
+   and the addDesc tooltip the game attached to it — this adds a SECOND
+   listener. Listeners fire in the order they were added, so the game builds
+   dom.ttlbd first and this rebuilds its contents immediately after, before a
+   frame is ever drawn. Everything the game set up around it is untouched.
+
+   --- which skill a title belongs to ---------------------------------------
+
+   For the 465 generated ones, MOD_SKILL_TITLES already says. For the base
+   game's, the milestone that grants the title is found by scanning `f`
+   source for a giveTitle call — the same trick section 24 uses to date them —
+   so "Civilian", "Trained Civilian", "Fighter" and "Rookie" group under
+   Fighting alongside the generated five, rather than being stranded.

+   26. TITLE COLOURS FOR TEN RANKS
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The game already colours a title by rank, in the type 5 branch of dscr():
+
+       rar 0 grey   2 cyan   3 lime   4 yellow   5 orange   6 purple
+
+   with two problems that only became problems when section 24 started using
+   the upper ranks.
+
+   RANK 7 THROWS. Its branch sets `this.dl.style`, where every other branch
+   sets `this.label.style`. `this.dl` is assigned in the type 6 and 7 branches
+   of the same function, so in a type 5 call it is undefined and the tooltip
+   dies half-built — the name is placed, the description never is. The base
+   game topped out at rank 5, so the branch had never once run. There are now
+   93 titles at rank 7.
+
+   RANKS 1, 8, 9 AND 10 HAVE NO BRANCH, so 220 titles render with no colour at
+   all, including every rank 10 in the game.
+
+   Rather than patch the switch — it is inside a 200-line function that builds
+   six different tooltip layouts — the title's rank is parked at 1 for the
+   duration of the call, which is a value the switch has no branch for and so
+   cannot throw on, and the label is coloured afterwards from the full ten-rank
+   palette. The author's five colours are kept exactly where they are; the ramp
+   only extends past where they stopped.
+
+   The picker rows are coloured from the same table, which is the point of

+   27. THE DOJO'S LEVEL ADVANCEMENT, CARRIED TO 110
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The dojo already has a reward ladder, and the instructor already promises it
+   continues: "After every 5 levels you reach, come here and receive your
+   share!" It then stops at level 30.
+
+       dj1rw1  lv 5    25 coin, Low-grade Spirit Pill x5
+       dj1rw2  lv 10  100 coin, Mid-grade x2
+       dj1rw3  lv 15  200 coin, High-grade x1, gear
+       dj1rw4  lv 20  300 coin, a weapon
+       dj1rw5  lv 25  350 coin, an accessory
+       dj1rw6  lv 30  400 coin, food
+
+   Character level at the mod's endgame is around 92, so the instructor's
+   promise goes unkept for the last eighty levels. This adds the sixteen rungs
+   that finish it, 35 through 110, in fives.
+
+   --- the pills had to be rebuilt first ------------------------------------
+
+   Character exp per level is `4*lvl^3 + lvl^2`. At level 110 that is 5,336,100
+   for one level, and the game's best pill is worth 15,000 — 0.3% of it. The
+   ladder would have been handing out rounding errors. Four grades continue the
+   author's own progression at roughly his own ratio:
+
+       Superior       100,000     1/5 of a level at 50,  1/50 at 110
+       Refined        600,000     1.2 levels at 50
+       Sublime      3,500,000     2/3 of a level at 110
+       Transcendent 20,000,000    3.7 levels at 110
+
+   --- and a third grade of skillbook ---------------------------------------
+
+   The base game has two: the Practitioner Skillbooks the instructor offers the
+   first time you clear the dummies (+5%), and the named manuals after golem IV
+   (+15%). A third at +30% is offered as a CHOICE at the level 50, 75 and 100
+   rungs — the same shape as that first one, since that is the moment the
+   request pointed at.
+
+   These write `skl.<x>.p += rate` exactly as the base books do. That coexists
+   with section 24's title bonuses because the reconciler there only ever adds
+   and removes its own tracked delta, never assigns.
+
+   --- why a separate lobby entry -------------------------------------------
+
+   The base rungs are drawn by an anonymous click handler created inside
+   chss.t3.sl, so there is no way to append to that screen without replacing
+   the whole of sl(). The continuation is its own lobby entry instead, which
+   appears only once dj1rw6 is set, so the two never overlap and the original

+   28. CULTIVATION REALMS
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   proto23 is already a cultivation game in its furniture — Qi Circulation,
+   spirit pills "made from condensed Ki", a dojo, meridians in the skill text —
+   without ever having the thing that genre is actually about: a realm you
+   advance through, a bottleneck that stops you, and a breakthrough that costs
+   something.
+
+   The ladder is the genre's extended one — a convention rather than any
+   particular author's invention, which is why every xianxia uses some version
+   of it. Ten stages, and the thresholds are NOT written out here: they are
+   MOD_RANK_AT, the same levels section 24 derives title ranks from. Realm 3 is
+   exactly the Qi Circulation level that earns a rank 3 title, and each realm's
+   own title lands at its own rank without being told to.
+
+       0  Mortal                      —
+       1  Qi Refining                 Qi Circulation 1
+       2  Foundation Establishment                   8
+       3  Core Formation                            18
+       4  Nascent Soul                              30
+       5  Spirit Severing                           45
+       6  Soul Transformation                       58
+       7  Void Refinement                           70
+       8  Body Integration                          82
+       9  Great Ascension                           90
+      10  Tribulation Transcendence                110
+
+   Deriving rather than restating means the two ladders cannot drift: retune
+   MOD_RANK_AT and the realms follow.
+
+   --- the bottleneck is the point ------------------------------------------
+
+   Reaching the level does NOT advance the realm. It puts you AT a bottleneck,
+   and breaking through costs a pill you have to have found or bought. That is
+   the whole shape of the genre: the wall, the resource, the attempt. Without
+   it a realm is just a second name for a level.
+
+   A failed attempt costs the pill and drops you to 1 HP but never kills — the
+   game has a death system with real consequences (`global.stat.deadt`, the
+   `ndthextr` title) and a breakthrough should not silently interact with it.
+
+   --- what a realm is worth -------------------------------------------------
+
+   Each realm multiplies every stat, compounding, and widens what your body can
+   hold: max HP and max energy scale with it too. The numbers are deliberately
+   large — this is the axis the genre cares about, and section 8's enemy model
+   measures the player rather than assuming a curve, so a big jump is absorbed
+   as tougher enemies rather than as a broken game.
+
+   Stored in `global.flags.mod_realm`, which is saved. The bonus is applied
+   through allbuff like every other multiplier, never written into `you.stra`
+   and friends, so it cannot compound across loads.
+   =========================================================================== */

+   29. ELEMENTAL MASTERY
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The game has six Absorption skills — Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light, Dark —
+   and they are entirely defensive: they train when you are hit by that element
+   and reduce what it does to you. There is no way to USE an element. For a
+   game with meridians in its skill descriptions that is a conspicuous hole.
+
+   Six Mastery skills fill it, one per element, each paired with the Absorption
+   it shares a channel with.
+
+   --- how a technique lands ------------------------------------------------
+
+   Combat is automatic — `fght` calls `battle_ai`, there is no per-turn ability
+   picker to hang a spell button on. So a technique is a PROC: `you.battle_ai`
+   is wrapped, and each swing has a chance to come out as a technique instead
+   of a weapon blow.
+
+   That chance is the mastery level and the realm together, and it is capped
+   well under 1 so a weapon never becomes decoration.
+
+   The technique itself is an `Ability` with `stt: 2` and `aff` set to its
+   element, which routes it through the INT branch of dmg_calc — so it scales
+   with INT, with `you.aff[element]`, and with the elemental defence of what
+   you are hitting, rather than with STR and your weapon. It is a genuinely
+   different attack, not a reskinned one.
+
+   --- gated on the realm ---------------------------------------------------
+
+   Nothing procs at Mortal. You cannot throw fire before your channels are
+   open, which is both the genre's rule and a reason for section 28 to matter
+   in combat rather than only on the character sheet.

+   30. TWO PLACES
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The mod had added systems and no world. This adds the two places the game
+   itself was already pointing at.
+
+   --- the catacombs, which were finished and unreachable -------------------
+
+   26 locations exist, fully written, with their own ambient text table and a
+   bestiary entry for the ghouls that says they live there. Nothing links in:
+   `grep catamn` returns its definition, its own handler, and one
+   `smove(chss.catamn)` from INSIDE cata1 going back. Its own exit leads to the
+   Village Center, which is where the entrance was always meant to be.
+
+   So the entrance is one `chs()` on the Village Center — the same trick the
+   Old Path trailhead uses. Nothing here is written by the mod; it opens the
+   author's own rooms.
+
+   It has to be GATED, though, and not for flavour. Visiting sets `mod_t_cata`,
+   which is the cap-40 rung in MOD_TIERS — the rung that has been dead all
+   along because nothing could reach it. Open the door to a fresh character and
+   they take cap 40 straight out of the tutorial, past the forest's 20 and the
+   deep forest's 30. Gated on `mod_t_deep` instead, so the ladder keeps its
+   order: forest 20 -> deep forest 30 -> catacombs 40 -> arena 50.
+
+   --- the Pill Tower, which the author started and commented out -----------
+
+   On the Village Center, in the author's own file:
+
+       //  chs('"=> Visit Pill Tower"',false).addEventListener('click',()=>{
+       //    smove(chss.pltwr1);
+       //  });
+
+   The choice was written and commented away; `chss.pltwr1` was never built.
+   An alchemists' tower is exactly what a cultivation game wants and exactly
+   what this mod was missing, so this builds it rather than inventing a
+   different shopfront.
+
+   The location is `chss.mod_pltwr`, not `chss.pltwr1` — if the author ever
+   finishes theirs, the two must not collide.
+
+   Gated on having a realm: they do not let mortals past the door. That gives
+   the realm ladder somewhere to be visible in the world rather than only on
+   the character sheet, and it is the genre's own snobbery.

+   31. THE WIKI
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   A reference for the game, opened from the bottom bar and from the settings
+   menu, in a tab of its own.
+
+   It is GENERATED FROM THE LIVE GAME DATA, every time it is opened, and that
+   is the whole design. A hand-written wiki for 200-odd skills, 500-odd titles,
+   50 areas and 11 realms would be wrong within a week — and wrong in the worst
+   way, since a reference nobody can trust is worse than none. Reading `skl`,
+   `item`, `area`, `ttl`, `act` and the mod's own tables means the page cannot
+   disagree with the game: if a number changes here, the wiki changes with it,
+   including changes made from the console mid-session.
+
+   It also reads the SAVE, so it doubles as a progress sheet — your level in
+   every skill, which perks you have taken, which titles you hold, what your
+   realm is and what the next one costs. The parts you have not reached are
+   still listed: this is a wiki, not a fog-of-war map.
+
+   Two things it deliberately does not do:
+
+     * It does not open inside the game. The panel is ~700px of a fixed layout
+       with a fixed bottom bar; a reference wants a sidebar and a wide table.
+     * It does not fetch anything. The document is built as a string and written
+       into the new window, so it works from file://, from a subdirectory and
+       from a server root alike — the same reason MOD_url exists for the
+       changelog.
+
+   `modWiki()` returns the HTML rather than only opening it, so tests can assert
+   on the document without driving a popup.

+   32. GETTING INTO THE MARKETPLACE
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The marketplace was unreachable, and the mod is what made it so.
+
+   The base game's chain is: finish at the dojo (`dj1end`), then a Paper Boy
+   turns up at the Village Center at 40% a visit and hands you a "Pamphlet",
+   then you read it for three hours and `mkplc1u` opens the door. Exactly one
+   item in the game sets that flag, and `pmfspmkm1` — set the moment the
+   Pamphlet is *given*, not when it is read — retires the Paper Boy for good.
+
+   Section 15 added selling. Nothing marked the Pamphlet as a key item, so it
+   could be sold at the food stand, outside the marketplace, before ever being
+   read. Sell it and the marketplace, the Grocery, the General Store, the
+   Herbalist, the guard-duty quest and — because the Herbalist stocks the
+   breakthrough pills for realms 2-5 — most of the cultivation ladder are gone
+   permanently, with nothing in the game able to give them back.
+
+   Three parts, in the order they matter:
+
+     A. Key items cannot be sold. Derived, not listed: the game's own source is
+        scanned for flags it ever sets back to false, and any item that sets a
+        flag it never clears is a key item.
+     B. The Paper Boy comes back if you no longer have a Pamphlet. This is what
+        un-sticks a save that is already in the hole, without a console.
+     C. The Village Center says WHY the marketplace is not listed, rather than
+        silently omitting the line. "It seems like I can't" was the whole
+        complaint, and an invisible gate is what caused it.
+   =========================================================================== */
+
+/* --- A. key items are not merchandise -------------------------------------
+
+   A one-way flag is one the game sets to true somewhere and never sets back to
+   false. `smkactv` (Smoke Bomb) is set both ways, so it is transient state and
+   the bomb stays sellable; `mkplc1u`, `bstu`, `jnlu`, `hsedchk`, `m_un` and
+   `wp2sgt` are only ever set true, so the items that set them are the only
+   copies of something.
+
+   The whole game is one inline <script>, so its source is readable at runtime
+   through document.scripts — which makes this exact rather than a list I would
+   have to remember to update. Section 24 reads f.toString() for the same kind

+   33. REPAIRING A SHEET THAT ALREADY HAS DUPLICATES
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Section 29 gave Fire Mastery id 2010, which section 11 had already given the
+   Companions parent. The game's loader matches a saved entry to a skill with
+
+       for (a in a6) for (b in skl) if (a6[a].id === skl[b].id) you.skls.push(skl[b])
+
+   and no `break`. One shared id therefore pushes both skills for both entries,
+   the next save writes all of them, and the count doubles every cycle:
+   1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32... A character who has played for a week has a hundred of
+   each, and the skill panel renders one row per entry.
+
+   The id is fixed, but that only stops it getting worse. The duplicates are IN
+   the save — `a6` still has a hundred entries — so they come back on every load
+   until something removes them. This does, once, by identity: `you.skls` is a
+   list of references to the objects in `skl`, so the same skill appearing twice
+   is always a bug, whatever caused it.
+
+   Deliberately not limited to the two skills that collided. This repairs the
+   damage rather than the cause, and it is worth having as a standing guard —
+   the panel's per-row updater reads fixed child indices against `you.skls`, so
+   a duplicated row is not merely cosmetic.
+
+   --- and the same shape again, in `global.titles` --------------------------
+
+   `giveTitle` pushes every earned title onto TWO arrays:
+
+       global.titles.push(title); if (title.id !== 0) global.titlese.push(title);
+
+   and `load()` rebuilds `global.titles` from the save BY INDEX and then appends
+   the whole of `global.titlese` on top of it:
+
+       for (ttlid ...) global.titles[ttlid] = ttl[obj];
+       for (obj in global.titlese) global.titles.push(global.titlese[obj]);
+
+   Every title earned this session is therefore already in the rebuilt array
+   AND appended again. Measured on a character holding 241 titles: 241 before a
+   load, 481 after, 241 distinct. It does not compound — the second load finds
+   `titlese` empty — but one load is enough, and `save()` writes the inflated
+   array straight back out.
+
+   A base-game bug, but the mod is what makes it loud: vanilla hands out around
+   a hundred titles and section 24 grants five per skill, so the doubling is
+   hundreds of rows. Both the game's own title screen and the mod's grouped
+   picker iterate `global.titles`, so every title is listed twice after any
+   load.
+
+   Fixed the same way as the skill sheet, and for the same reason: `global.titles`
+   holds references to the objects in `ttl`, so the same object appearing twice
+   is always wrong whatever put it there. Not fixed at the source — `titlese` is
+   the author's mechanism and the mod has no business changing what it means.

+   34. THE RANK LADDER
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   `you.rank()` is the base game's Power rank — the number under the portrait,
+   tooltip "Your power position in this realm. The lower the number the
+   stronger you are". It is DERIVED, never stored (index.html, the You
+   constructor):
+
+       rank = ceil( 5e13 * sqrt((agl+str+int+spd/lvl) * 512 / (luck*.1+1))
+                    / (agl+str+weapon+spd+int)^2 )
+
+   so it falls as roughly S^-1.5 in the stat scale S, and Math.ceil floors it
+   at 1. Rank 1 is a real destination, not an asymptote.
+
+   --- is rank 1 reachable? measured, not guessed ----------------------------
+
+   Built the character the way the balance scripts do — every skill at the tier
+   cap, every milestone fired, character level driven through the game's own
+   lvlup — and read you.rank() at each rung of the story ladder:
+
+       tier 0   char lv   5   cap  10    STR 578        rank 21,617,349,975
+       tier 3   char lv  30   cap  30    STR 87,641     rank 17,143,237
+       tier 5   char lv  55   cap  50    STR 3.4e6      rank 65,544
+       tier 7   char lv  85   cap  75    STR 1.1e8      rank 258
+       tier 8   char lv 100   cap  90    STR 5.3e8      rank 20
+       tier 9   char lv 110   cap 110    STR 2.8e9      rank 1-2
+
+   and holding everything else at the top while sweeping skill level:
+
+       all skills 90 -> rank 18       all skills 105 -> rank 4
+       all skills 95 -> rank 11       all skills 108 -> rank 3
+       all skills 100 -> rank 7       all skills 110 -> rank 1
+
+   So yes — rank 1 IS reachable, but only by taking EVERY skill to 110. At 108
+   across the board you are still rank 3. Ranks 1-10 all live inside the last
+   fifteen skill levels, after an entire game in which the number is an
+   unreadable ten-digit blob. Technically reachable, practically invisible, and
+   earned by a spreadsheet rather than by anything that happens in the world.
+
+   --- what this adds --------------------------------------------------------
+
+   A second way to hold a rank: take it off whoever is holding it.
+
+   Ten ranked challengers, 10 down to 1, in a hall past the Old Path. The
+   ladder is strictly ordered — rank N opens only when rank N+1 has been taken
+   — and each rung also wants a character level, so the ten fights span the
+   endgame instead of being a single evening. Winning rung N writes
+   `global.flags.mod_rank = N`.
+
+   --- how the rank is awarded, and why it is a wrapper ----------------------
+
+   `you.rank` is a FUNCTION on the You instance, recomputed from live stats
+   every time `dom.d6.update` asks. There is no field to write. So the rank is
+   held in `global.flags` (saved, like `mod_realm`) and `you.rank` is wrapped
+   to return the better of the two:
+
+       held rank 6, stats say 900   ->  6      the ladder carries you
+       held rank 6, stats say 2     ->  2      your own power has passed it
+
+   It only ever floors, never caps, and nothing is written into a stat — so
+   there is no delta to track and nothing compounds on load, which is the trap
+   `you.res` and `skl.p` both fell into. `you = new You()` runs once at game
+   init and `load()` restores fields into it rather than replacing it, so the
+   wrapper survives a load.
+
+   --- difficulty, and why it is not simply "harder" -------------------------
+
+   Each duel is a protected one-creature area, so MOD_scaleEnemy already treats
+   it as an arena boss and anchors it to the player's power at spawn. On top of
+   that each rung takes a step up — but the step goes almost entirely into
+   FIGHT LENGTH, not into incoming damage, and the margin is then re-derived
+   rather than hoped for:
+
+       killT * step, and dieT floored at killT * 1.25
+
+   Scaling both targets in opposite directions is what would break `kill < die`
+   (margin 1.5 divided by step^1.5 is under 1.2 by step 1.16 alone). Reading
+   back the targets MOD_scaleEnemy stored on the spawn and re-asserting the
+   guarantee keeps every rung winnable at every tier, which tests/ranks.mjs and
+   tests/allareas.mjs both check.
+   =========================================================================== */
+
+/* --- A. the ten challengers ------------------------------------------------
+   `rnk` is the monster danger grade (global.text.eranks), NOT the ladder rank —
+   two different systems that happen to share a word. Kept in 11-14 ('-D' to
+   '-C', above anything else in the game) deliberately: the base game's coin
+   drop uses `rand(lvl, lvl/4) ** (1 + rnk/5 << 0)`, so rnk 15 would push that
+   exponent from 3 to 4 and multiply an endgame drop by a hundred. The toughest
+   thing the author shipped (creature.kksh) sits at rnk 10 / exponent 3, and

+/* ===========================================================================
+   35. THE CRAFTING LADDER, 2★ TO 5★
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The question was whether anything above one star can be crafted. Measured
+   across all 62 recipes, by output rarity, and separately by whether any
+   `giveRcp` call anywhere in the game can actually hand the recipe over:
+
+       stars   recipes   obtainable
+         1★      44         35
+         2★      17          7
+         3★       1          0        <- rcp.trr, Trinity
+         4★       1          1        <- rcp.clrpin, Clover Pin
+         5★       0          0
+
+   So the literal answer is yes, narrowly: seven reachable recipes make 2★
+   things and one makes a 4★ accessory. But the tier above that is a single
+   recipe nothing can unlock, and 5★ has nothing at all. Crafting effectively
+   stops at two stars, and the one 4★ result is a Clover Pin you get for
+   holding seven clovers.
+
+   The same audit turned up a bigger base-game finding: **nineteen of the 62
+   recipes have no `giveRcp` anywhere** — test, trr, lnch1/2/3, orgs, ffsh1/2,
+   fnori, cbun1, sshl, hpck, steak, cnmnb, brth, eggsp, crmchd, msoop, jln4.
+   They are defined, priced and complete, and nothing in the game can teach
+   them. Left alone, like area.clg and the unfinished titles: reported rather
+   than quietly wired up, because which of them the author meant to gate and
+   which he forgot is not the mod's call to make.
+
+   --- what this adds --------------------------------------------------------
+
+   A four-rung ladder, one rung per star from 2 to 5, each rung a full set:
+
+       weapon   body armour   shield   accessory   tonic
+
+   twenty craftable things, built from twelve gathered materials along three
+   lines — ore for the metal, weave for the cloth, essence for everything that
+   is not either — and gathered at four resource nodes that open with the
+   story. Each rung consumes the rung below it, so the ladder is a ladder and
+   not four unrelated shopping lists.
+
+   --- the constraints this had to fit --------------------------------------
+
+   * **Ids are blocked by namespace.** `load()` resolves a saved item id back
+     to its namespace with `itemgroup[(id+1)/10000<<0]`, itemgroup being
+     `[item, wpn, eqp, sld, acc]`. An id in the wrong block restores as the
+     wrong object or not at all, so: items 9200+, weapons 10101+, armour
+     20101+, shields 30101+, accessories 40101+. All clear of the base game's
+     maxima (9129 / 10058 / 20031 / 30017 / 40089) and checked by ids.mjs.
+   * **`rar` cannot exceed 6.** `equip()` does
+     `w.wc = global.text.wecs[w.rar][0]`, and `wecs` has seven entries. Five is
+     the top of this ladder and index 5 is the red/orange band, which is what
+     the star colours in `dscr` type 8 use for 5★ as well.
+   * **Armour `str` is very nearly decorative.** `stat_r` adds only
+     `eqp[0].str` (the weapon) to `str_d`, while `int`, `agl` and `spd` are
+     summed over every slot. Armour `str` shows up in the DEF tooltips and
+     nowhere in `dmg_calc`. The pieces here carry it anyway, because the
+     author's own armour does and the tooltip should read sensibly — but the
+     real value is in agl/int/spd, aff and cls.
+   * **Better gear does not break the enemy model.** `MOD_scaleEnemy` anchors
+     to the player's measured power at spawn, so a stronger sword raises the
+     anchor rather than trivialising the fight. `allareas` re-runs against it.
+   * Recipe `type` picks the tab in the assemble panel: 1 FOD, 2 MED, 3 WEP,
+     4 EQP, 5 MAT. Tonics are 2, weapons 3, everything worn 4.
+   =========================================================================== */

+     calibrated against EQUIPMENT rarity and a 5★ sword is a different kind of
+     object from a lump of ore you can dig up all afternoon.
+
+     Sized against the income the endgame already pays. `modEconomy()` puts the
+     Ashen Spire at ~23 coin a kill and a kill at roughly twenty swings, so
+     combat is on the order of one coin a second. Gathering at the cap, selling

+   36. RAW MEAT, AND THE HUNTER'S QUEST
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   `quest.hnt1` — Head Hunter Yamato's — wants **ten Raw Meat held at once**,
+   and Raw Meat rots. Both halves of that matter, because the mod changed one
+   of them by accident.
+
+   --- what the mod did to it -----------------------------------------------
+
+   Nothing touches `creature.rbt1.drop`. What changed is how long a rabbit
+   takes to kill. `MOD_ENEMY.kill` targets eight LANDED swings for an average
+   spawn, and measured at the point the quest is offered — character level 8,
+   cap 15, in the first Western forest hunting area — a Wild Rabbit now has
+   3,574 HP against the base game's 93. Your swing does ~357, so a rabbit that
+   died in one hit vanilla now takes ten (tests/fightsmoke.mjs medians the same
+   area at seven).
+
+   Ten times the kill time is ten times less meat an hour, and the meat is on a
+   clock:
+
+       item.rwmt1.rot = [.25, .45, .1, .2]
+
+   `planner.chkrot` runs once per in-game day and adds `randf(rot[0], rot[1])`
+   to `rottil`, divided by a season modifier — 0.5 in summer, which makes it
+   go off TWICE as fast, and 2.5 in winter. When `rottil` passes 1 you lose
+   `amount * randf(rot[2], rot[3]) + 1` pieces.
+
+   So the stock converges rather than accumulating. With a gain of `g` meat a
+   day and a rot event every `c` days, the steady state is
+
+       A = (g*c - 1) / 0.15
+
+   and the quest needs A >= 10 with something to spare, because the player has
+   to be HOLDING ten at one moment.
+
+   --- the numbers ----------------------------------------------------------
+
+   At 6%, in the first hunting area (rabbits are 20% of spawns there), taking a
+   conservative fifteen seconds an end-to-end kill rather than the seven the
+   smoke test measures in combat alone:
+
+       96 kills/day * 0.20 * 0.06  =  1.15 meat/day
+       normal  rot every 2.9 days  ->  A = 15.6     scrapes it
+       summer  rot every 1.4 days  ->  A =  4.3     CANNOT REACH TEN
+       winter  rot every 7.1 days  ->  A = 51       fine
+
+   A quest that is completable in three seasons and not in the fourth is not a
+   difficulty choice, it is a bug — and it is the mod's bug, since vanilla kill
+   times put summer comfortably clear.
+
+   --- the fix ---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+   Raise the drop, solved backwards from the requirement rather than picked:
+   aim for a steady state of 25 in the WORST season and the FIRST area, so the
+   player is holding twice what the quest asks and is not racing the rot.
+
+       need A = 25 in summer  ->  loss per cycle 0.15*25 + 1   = 4.75
+       over a 1.43-day cycle                                   = 3.32 meat/day
+       over 96 kills/day                                       = 3.46% per kill
+       through a 20% rabbit share                              = 17.3% per drop
+
+   Rounded to 18%. Applied to every creature that drops Raw Meat, so the wolves
+   move with the rabbits and the Sunken Hollow does not become the only sane
+   place to hunt. Nothing else in a drop table is touched.

+   Section 36's table fixes the class of everything the mod adds, but twenty-six
+   items had to change id to get there — and the inventory is saved BY id:
+
+       a3[0].push({ id: inv[obj].id, am: inv[obj].amount, data: inv[obj].data })
+
+   and restored by matching it. An entry whose id no longer exists is silently
+   dropped, so without this a played-in save loses whatever it was holding of
+
+       sp4-sp7        9101-9104  ->  4220-4223
+       mod_bp1-bp10   9120-9129  ->  4210-4219

+
+   A Tribulation Pill is seven million coin at the Pill Tower. Losing one to a
+   cosmetic fix would be a bad trade.
+
+   The blob is read, never rewritten. `load(dt)` takes the base64 save (or
+   reads localStorage itself), and the inventory is `str.split('|')[6]`. This
+   parses a COPY, notes what the old ids were carrying, lets the game's own
+   load run untouched, and gives those items back afterwards under their new

+   38. THE CULTIVATOR'S ROAD
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Section 28 gave the game a realm ladder. What it did not give it was the
+   road between the rungs: reach a Qi Circulation level, own a pill, press the
+   pill, realm +1. Ten transactions across a game that runs for months.
+
+   This section is sourced rather than invented. Wuxiaworld's "General Glossary
+   of Terms in Wuxia, Xianxia & Xuanhuan Novels" is the genre's own reference
+   work, and it describes the machinery this mod was missing by name. Where a
+   piece below has a Chinese term beside it, the term and the idea come from
+   that glossary — paraphrased here, not quoted; the numbers are ours.
+
+       Spiritual Root      灵根    innate talent, tested, occasionally rare
+       Layers              层      nine to a stage, and stage words besides
+       Insight             参悟    understanding, needed to advance a stage
+       Closed Door         闭关    seclusion, specifically to break a bottleneck
+       Internal Demons     心魔    the mental barrier at the wall
+       Qi Deviation        走火入魔 what failing it does to you
+       Impurities          杂质    what a body expels on the way up
+       Heavenly Tribulation 天劫   the Heavens object to your progress
+
+   The glossary's entry on bottlenecks is the whole design brief: to break
+   through one, a cultivator may need new insight, a medicinal pill, or harsher
+   training.
+
+   Three routes. The mod shipped with one of them — the pill — which is why a
+   bottleneck was a shopping trip. All three are here now: insight is earned,
+   the pill is bought, and the harsher training is an action you sit in.
+
+   --- where the story goes --------------------------------------------------
+
+   The macro arc is read off the same shelf. Two of the genre's canonical long
+   works, both on Wuxiaworld, divide into books like this:
+
+       I Shall Seal the Heavens     one sect -> one domain -> reputation ->
+                                    death and rebirth -> fame -> leaving the
+                                    plane -> a realm of your own -> the peak
+       A Will Eternal               one sect -> an alias in a rival sect ->
+                                    a sect of your own -> the wider world ->
+                                    the peak -> the immortal domains
+
+   The shape both share: ONE SECT, then ONE REGION, then THE WORLD, then YOUR
+   OWN, then ABOVE IT. proto23 already owns the first and the last of those —
+   the dojo is a sect in everything but name, and section 34's Hall of the First
+   Gate is the regional ranking tournament the middle books are built around.
+   MOD-NOTES.md records the rungs that are still missing (disciple grades, the
+   sect's own contribution currency, a secret realm) and why each one waits.
+   This section builds the spine they would hang from.

+/* ===========================================================================
+   39. SKILL RARITY, AND THE CONVERGENCE
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Two problems, one answer.
+
+   The first is that the skill list is too long to read. A hundred skills, and
+   Daily Life alone holds twenty-five of them. Section 11 grouped them and
+   section 13 made the groups collapse, which helps, but the list only ever
+   grows.
+
+   The second is that nothing on the sheet says which of a hundred skills is
+   worth anything.
+
+   --- rarity, derived like everything else ----------------------------------
+
+   A skill's rarity is the RANK OF THE LEVEL YOU HAVE TAKEN IT TO, through the
+   same `MOD_rankForLevel` that ranks titles, against the same `MOD_RANK_AT`
+   thresholds, painted with the same ten `MOD_RANK_COLOUR` entries. So a skill
+   at 110 is rank 10 and white-hot, and a skill at 3 is rank 1 and grey.
+
+   Deriving it rather than hand-assigning a rarity per skill is not just the
+   house style — a static rarity would be a hundred more numbers to keep in step
+   with a ladder that moves, and it would say nothing about YOUR character. The
+   base game already made this mistake in the other direction: it handed out a
+   rank 3 title at skill level 8.
+
+   The colour goes on the row's name element, not into the name. The game's
+   per-second updater rewrites `children[0].innerHTML` every tick, which would
+   wipe any markup — but it never touches that element's own inline style, so a
+   colour set once survives. Names are a primary key and are not to be
+   decorated (section 4's note on `skl.frg`).
+
+   --- convergence -----------------------------------------------------------
+
+   A Jade Slip (玉简) is the genre's own object for this, and it comes off the
+   same shelf section 38 was built from: the glossary describes it as a strip of
+   jade that holds knowledge a cultivator stores in it, for another to take
+   straight into their own mind.
+
+   So: spend a slip to FOLD a skill into its section's converged skill. Fold
+   every skill in a section and that section is one line on your sheet instead
+   of twenty-five — a skill that stands for the whole of it.
+
+   --- what folding does NOT do, and why that is the point -------------------
+
+   Folding does not remove anything from `you.skls`. It marks the skill in
+   `global.flags.mod_folded` and section 13's renderSkl wrapper HIDES the row,
+   the same branch that already hides a collapsed group or a maxed-out skill.
+
+   That is a deliberate choice against the obvious implementation, because
+   shortening `you.skls` breaks three things at once:
+
+     * the game's panel only rebuilds when the list GROWS
+       (`let sklsize=you.skls.length; ... if(sklsize<you.skls.length)`), so a
+       shrink leaves orphaned rows displayed forever;
+     * `giveSkExp` pushes a skill back into `you.skls` on its next level-up
+       (`if(!scanbyid(you.skls,skl.id)) you.skls.push(skl)`) — complete with a
+       "New Skill Unlocked!" banner — so a fold would undo itself;
+     * and the save stores `you.skls` by id, so anything removed would have to
+       be re-derived on load rather than simply restored.
+
+   Hiding sidesteps all three. Nothing mechanical changes at all: a folded skill
+   keeps its level, keeps earning exp, keeps its milestones, and keeps applying
+   every buff it ever applied — the mod's allbuff wrappers walk `skl` by key,
+   never `you.skls`, so `you.skls` was only ever the display list. "All of the
+   buffs" is therefore literally true rather than re-implemented, which is the
+   only version of this feature that cannot quietly cost you a stat.
+
+   What convergence adds on top is a bonus for having done it, applied in
+   allbuff like every other multiplier and never written into a stat field.

+   40. HOW BIG NUMBERS ARE WRITTEN
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   The mod's numbers are enormous next to the original's — STR in the millions,
+   max HP in the hundreds of thousands, a Power rank the author himself prints
+   as a ten-digit blob. None of that is a balance problem: section 8 scales
+   every enemy to the player, so a fight takes the same eight swings at STR 50
+   or STR 5,000,000. But it READS like one, and the stat panel makes it worse by
+   printing a raw `Math.round` with no grouping at all.
+
+   Four ways to write them, picked in settings:
+
+       game      exactly as the original draws them
+       short     12.3K, 4.56M, 7.89B  — the author's own suffix list
+       sci       1.23e7
+       myriad    1234万, 5.6亿        — groups of ten thousand
+
+   Myriads are not decoration. The author already counts money that way: his
+   wallet (m_update) steps at 10^8 — `㊧` = you.wealth / 100000000 — with groups
+   of 10^4 beneath it, which is 亿 and 万. That is his notation, carried to the
+   rest of the sheet.
+
+   --- the threshold is his, too --------------------------------------------
+
+   `printDamageNumber` does
+
+       if(ddmg>9999) formatw(ddmg);
+
+   and throws the result away — it plainly meant `ddmg = formatw(ddmg)`, so
+   every hit over 9,999 has been printing raw. That line is the author telling
+   us where he wanted compaction to start. Every format here prints a number up
+   to 9,999 EXACTLY as the original does, commas where he used commas and bare
+   where he left them bare, and only compacts above it. The first hours of the
+   game look identical in all four modes.
+
+   A display preference, per viewer, so it lives in localStorage beside the
+   mod's other settings rather than in the save.

+   41. THE AUTHOR'S LOOSE ENDS
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Two pieces of his content that were started and not finished, finished where
+   his own code says what he meant, and left alone where it does not.
+
+   --- the Damp cellar -------------------------------------------------------
+
+   `area.clg` is a complete area with two problems and a third hiding behind
+   them. Its two spawns are the only ones in the game with no `c` weight, so
+   z_bake's bands come out NaN and mon_gen can never match one; nothing in the
+   game ever starts it; and its onEnd moves to `chss.q1lwn` / `chss.q1l`, which
+   do not exist — reaching the end would have thrown.
+
+   Those two names are the one clue to where he meant it to hang: "q1" — quest
+   one — with a first-win flag. The Message Board posts jobs as numbered notices
+   and only "Notice #4" exists, so this is Notice #1. That placement is an
+   inference, not his; everything else — the creatures, their levels, the size
+   of 33, the `q1lwn` flag — is exactly as he wrote it.
+
+   --- the titles -------------------------------------------------------------
+
+   Of the five unfinished titles, four have their intent written down:
+
+       shpt2 / shpt3   his checks are in the code, commented out, at 5,000 and
+                       10,000 purchases. After his "Third-Rate Shopper" they
+                       are Second- and First-Rate: the jianghu's own grading of
+                       fighters, 三流 / 二流 / 一流, which is the joke he was
+                       making in the first place.
+       mone2 / mone3   named "Peasant" and blank, with ranks 2 and 3 set and
+                       their checks commented out — at GOLD, the same threshold
+                       as the first rung, which is plainly a placeholder. His
+                       other ladders step by five to ten, so these are 10 and
+                       100 gold, after 1.
+
+   `ttl.ddcd` is the fifth, and it is left alone. Its name and description are
+   the literal string "null", nothing grants it, and nothing near it says what it
+   was for — the obvious guess (the missing first rung of the stay-at-home
+   ladder) is wrong, because that rung exists as `ttl.neet`. Inventing a purpose
+   would be writing his game for him.

+   42. ON THE SCREEN: REALM, BREAKTHROUGH, AND RARITY YOU CAN READ
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Four small things that were only reachable through the console or the wiki.
+
+   --- the realm, on the rank line -------------------------------------------
+
+   The player panel is a fixed 310px box and it is full — 307px used, and its
+   last line (critical chance) already hangs past the bottom. So nothing new
+   gets a line of its own. The rank line has room: 430px wide, centred, holding
+   "rank: 135T". The realm goes on the end of it, kept to one line (nowrap +
+   ellipsis) so it can never push the panel taller, with the full detail in its
+   tooltip.
+
+   It is one persistent span rather than markup in the rank text: dom.d6.update
+   rewrites innerHTML on every call, which would recreate the span, and its
+   tooltip, each time. Re-appending the same node after each rewrite keeps its
+   listeners.
+
+   --- the breakthrough, from the same span -----------------------------------
+
+   At a bottleneck the realm reads "½ step to …" and the span becomes the button.
+   It finds the pill in the inventory and hands it to MOD_breakthrough, which
+   does every check it always did — insight, deviation, the odds, seclusion's
+   shelter, the tribulation. Nothing about the attempt changes; only where you
+   click. An emptied stack is removed the way the game does it (index.html:8893),
+   since this is not the inventory's own click handler.
+
+   --- rarity as text, and as a sort and a filter ----------------------------
+
+   Rarity was colour and nothing else, which says nothing to someone who cannot
+   tell #ff5fb0 from #ff3b3b. The skill tooltip now names it. The skill panel
+   gets a second row: sort by rarity, and show only a rarity and above — the
+   filter goes through section 13's hide branch, the one that already hides
+   maxed skills and folded ones, so section headers survive it the same way.

+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

+   three slots in the saves panel, where you already go to look after saves.
+
+   Restoring puts back EVERY slot as it was when the backup was made, not just
+   the one you are playing: that is what the backup holds, and a half-restored
+   set of slots would be a state that never existed. It saves the slot you are in
+   and backs up the present first — never over the backup being restored — so a
+   restore can itself be undone. Then it reloads, because the game reads its
+   save once, at startup (the same reason switching slots reloads).
+
+   A restore puts back the SAVE, not the code. A save from before v4.2 restored
+   under v4.3 plays with v4.3's rules; to go back to an older mod as well, check
+   out that version of mod.js.

+                       ~2.9% ramp; skill exp 1x; no base coin drop  (default)
+       Mod before 4.2  50 x 1.106^level exactly, skill exp 2x, 15% coin drop
+       Custom          shown when you have changed one of those boxes yourself
+
+   Since v4.6 each preset also sets Fights (section 47): Original leaves the
+   author's areas as he wrote them, Mod before 4.2 scales them as it always did.
+
+   The skill exp and coin boxes already persist on their own keys, so choosing a
+   preset simply sets them. The curve had no persistence, so the chosen preset is
+   stored and its curve re-applied at load. Changing a box afterwards reads as
+   Custom, and leaves the curve where the preset put it.

+   46. THREE BUGS IN THE AUTHOR'S COMBAT AND DEATH CODE
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   All three were found and written down long before they were fixed. Each is a
+   single line inside a long function, so each is corrected from outside it —
+   wrapping, never editing — and each is corrected where the enemy model's probe
+   will see it too (see Luck).
+
+   --- Death: the skill that made dying worse --------------------------------
+
+   On death the game does
+
+       this.sat *= (.55 * (1 - skl.dth.use()))        // use() = level * 0.1
+
+   right after the Death skill has gained exp. Its description says it "reduces
+   energy loss on death"; the formula does the opposite. At level 0 you keep
+   55% of your energy, at level 10 you keep none, and from level 11 your energy
+   goes NEGATIVE. The mod's own tooltip has said so since v1.
+
+   Replaced with keep = 1 - 0.45 / (1 + use): 55% at level 0, exactly as before,
+   rising to 78% at 10 and 96% at 110 — always improving, never reaching 100%.
+   The death itself is detected by `global.stat.deadt` going up, because the
+   "You avoid death..." branch runs the same function without dying.
+
+   --- Shield Mastery: defence that became damage ----------------------------
+
+   The last bracket of the enemy's damage line multiplies your whole defence by
+
+       (100 - (shieldAff + targetCls * ta) * 5 * (1 + shdc / 20)) / 100
+
+   and at Shield Mastery 110 that `(1 + shdc/20)` is 6.5. With ordinary
+   affinities the bracket goes below zero, the defence term flips sign, and your
+   defence is ADDED to the damage you take. Every other bracket in that line is
+   `100 + ...`, so this may be a sign typo — but that is a guess about intent, so
+   the fix is the conservative one: the bracket is floored at zero. Defence can
+   fall to nothing; it can no longer hurt you.
+
+   Done by holding `skl.shdc.lvl`, for the length of one call, at the level
+   where the bracket is exactly zero. With the bracket at zero the whole defence
+   product is zero, so the shield-strength term that also reads the level does
+   not matter at that point.
+
+   --- Luck: a multiplier that never reached the roll ------------------------
+
+   dmg_calc declares `let b = you.luck/25 + 1` (physical) and `/20 + 1` (magic)
+   inside the player's own block, so the crit line — outside it — reads the
+   outer `b`, which is always 1. Luck has never touched damage.
+
+   The author's range is small: luck moves by 1-4 on a handful of events, so his
+   multiplier tops out around x1.4. This mod's perks grant luck on every social
+   skill, and at cap 110 a character holds 132-223 of it — which through his
+   formula is a 100% crit chance on every swing. So his formula is applied
+   exactly, but luck may only raise crit chance up to MOD_LUCK_CAP (50%). In his
+   range the cap never binds; at the top it keeps a crit a roll, not a certainty.
+
+   It goes in by rebinding MOD_dmg_calc_original, not by wrapping dmg_calc.
+   Section 8's probe and incoming-damage wrapper both call through that variable,
+   so enemies are sized against the player WITH luck — a wrapper outside it would
+   have let the player out-damage every target. The bonus rides on
+   `you.mods.crflt` for the one call, restored to its exact prior value
+   afterwards: `crflt` is saved, and add-then-subtract would leave float residue
+   on it a million swings later.

+   47. FIGHTS AS THE AUTHOR WROTE THEM
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   Section 8 exists to remove out-levelling: every spawn is solved against the
+   player so a fight takes ~8 swings to win and ~20 to lose, at any level. The
+   original has no such model. Its creatures are fixed, and at equal
+   progression its opening route is nearly free — `tests/vanilla.mjs` measures
+   a median of 1.3 swings to kill and ~18,700 to die. That is how he designed
+   it: you get stronger and the forest stops being dangerous.
+
+   Since v4.6 that is the default. With Fights on Original:
+
+     * a creature in one of the author's own areas is exactly the one mon_gen
+       and lvlup made — no HP, accuracy or damage scaling, his exp;
+     * his areas use his level ranges, not section 8's x1.4;
+     * Raw Meat drops at his 6%, because the 18% of section 36 only existed to
+       make up for the scaled kill times;
+     * the mod's own areas — the three past the golem arena and the ten rank
+       duels — are scaled exactly as before. There is no original of them to
+       match, and the ranks ladder depends on the model.
+
+   Scaled is section 8 everywhere, as every version before 4.6 played. The
+   "Mod before 4.2" pacing preset selects it.
+
+   The setting lives in localStorage, like the other settings boxes, and
+   applies from the next spawn. What the Original setting guarantees is
+   asserted by `tests/fights.mjs`: every spawn in the author's areas matches
+   the author's page stat for stat, and every area is winnable at the point
+   in the story you first reach it.

+   51. EVERY CREATURE WAS HOLDING THE SAME WEAPON
+   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   A Creature starts with `eqp = [eqp.dummy, eqp.dummy]`, one shared object, and
+   the author then wrote per-creature affinities straight onto it:
+
+       creature.bat.eqp[0].aff = [0,12,-10,0,0,-5,5];     (32 such lines)
+
+   So every creature (all 48, measured) held whichever creature was defined
+   last: aff [4,9,7,-12,12,0,0], cls [7,7,7]. Enemy damage reads exactly those
+   (`att.eqp[0].aff[att.atype]`, `.cls[att.ctype]`). Worse, the player's bare
+   fists ARE that object, and load() writes the player's level into it
+   (`cls[2] = lvl/4`, `aff[0] = lvl/5`), so a physical or blunt creature hit
+   harder the higher the player's level, unarmed or not.
+
+   Each creature now gets its own weapon and armour slot, and the values the
+   author wrote for it are read back from his source and applied. The player's
+   fists stay the original object. Same footing as section 46: three-line
+   corrections to his combat code, always on.

+# Regression suite for the proto23 mod
+
+These are the checks the mod was built against. They drive a real headless
+browser at a real copy of the game, so they catch the things that actually
+went wrong during development — save-format breakage, perks that silently do
+nothing, DOM rows drifting out of alignment, balance regressions.
+
+## One-time setup
+
+```sh
+cd ~/Sites/proto23
+npm install                 # playwright + http-server
+npx playwright install chromium
+```
+
+## Running
+
+Start a server in the game folder, then run whichever check you want:
+
+```sh
+npx http-server -p 8080 -s .        # leave this running in one terminal
+node tests/audit.mjs                # in another
+```
+
+Or let the runner handle the server for you:
+
+```sh
+./tests/run.sh                      # everything, four at a time
+./tests/run.sh audit combat         # just those two
+JOBS=1 ./tests/run.sh               # one at a time, output as it happens
+./tests/authorfiles.sh              # the author's two files are still his
+BROWSER=webkit ./tests/run.sh       # on Safari's engine
+```
+
+Both honour `PORT` (default 8080), and `CHROMIUM=/path/to/chrome` if you want
+a specific binary instead of Playwright's own.
+
+**`BROWSER`** picks the engine every script drives (`tests/lib/browser.mjs`):
+`chromium` by default, `webkit` for the engine Safari is built on (once:
+`npx playwright install webkit`), or `firefox`. It is not Safari itself, but it
+is where Safari's differences in layout and scripting show up. The first run on
+it found the skill rows wrapping their exp bar onto a second line: the three
+cells fit the panel with under a pixel to spare, and a classic scrollbar —
+Safari's, or any browser set to always show them — takes eight. Chromium's
+headless scrollbar takes none, so no amount of testing there would have seen it.
+GitHub runs the suite on both.
+
+The runner runs `JOBS` scripts at once (default 4). Every script launches its
+own browser, which is a fresh profile, so the ones that write saves cannot
+collide; their output is printed in list order once all have finished, and
+then seconds per script, slowest first. All 48 take about 75 seconds this way.
+Scripts wait for the page with `settle(page)` from `lib/browser.mjs` — two game
+ticks after load — rather than the flat 4.5 seconds each once slept.
+
+GitHub runs the same thing for every push and pull request
+(`.github/workflows/tests.yml`): `npm run check`, `authorfiles.sh`, `npm test`.
+
+## What each one checks
+
+| script | what it tells you |
+|---|---|
+| `audit.mjs` | Every milestone perk in the game: does it actually change player state, does it throw, does its text match what it does, are its levels in ascending order. Ascending order matters because the save file stores "granted" flags by array index. Expect **474 checked, 474 passing**, 3 known base-game perks that do slightly more than their text says, 0 problems of mine. |
+| `audit2.mjs` | Structural safety. Save size with every skill maxed (should be ~16 KB, well under the 5 MB localStorage limit), that such a save reloads intact, that wrapped functions still return what the game expects, that the `desc` getter has a working setter, that discovery-counter baselines resync after a load instead of dumping a burst of exp, and that capped skills refuse exp without firing side effects. |
+| `earlybal.mjs` | **The first hours.** Walks the actual opening route — tutorial, forest, cellar, basement — with a genuinely fresh character levelled by the game's own `lvlup`, against every enemy at both ends of its level band. Fails if any matchup is a loss (`kill >= die`), a slog (over 60 swings) or a whiff-fest. `BASELINE=1` turns the mod's enemy scaling off — but only that: the player keeps every perk the mod adds, so it is not the original game. `vanilla.mjs` is the real comparison. |
+| `combat.mjs` | **The whole ladder, same math.** Every tier from the tutorial to cap 110, every creature in each area at both ends of its band. Fails if anything kills you in under 5 swings or takes over 60. Both scripts drive the game's own `dmg_calc` and `hit_calc` — never the `enemyHP/playerSTR` ratio, which ignores the subtraction and reads several times off. |
+| `allareas.mjs` | **The exhaustive one.** Every area in the game (31), every creature in each, at both ends of its level band, against all ten story-tier player states, in four skill builds (base game's skills alone / the mod's added skills alone / both / both with every section folded, so the ×1.34 convergence bonus is covered too) — 3,720 matchups. The three builds are the check on the added skills specifically: they are 99% of player STR by cap 110, so if the model were fitted to a curve rather than measured off the player, the builds would not read alike. The point of the cross product is that the enemy model anchors to the player's power at spawn, so `kill < die` must hold for *any* player in *any* area, including a level 1 character wandering into the Long Vigil and a capped one back in the tutorial. If it fails only at the extremes, the anchor is leaking. The two legitimate trivial cases it reports are `nwh` (holds `creature.default`, id 0, which `MOD_scaleEnemy` deliberately skips) and a lv 1 dummy in the free practice yard. |
+| `fightsmoke.mjs` | End-to-end: real battles through the game's own `attack()`, nine per area, so the wrapper is exercised with the miss roll, the dodge check, the per-swing `allbuff` and death handling rather than by calling `dmg_calc` directly. Fails if a fight is lost, never resolves, or turns into a slog. Note that it re-asserts `global.flags.btl` every swing — the page's own game loop will otherwise drop you out of battle state and the duel stalls silently. |
+| `fullbal.mjs` | Wider version: combat under neutral *and* favourable conditions, where player power comes from (vanilla skills vs. added ones vs. Renown vs. situational buffs), exp pacing, per-kill economy, and a dominance check for whether any single skill carries everything. |
+| `titles.mjs` | Title ranks and what wearing one does: every skill grants at least four, all ten ranks populated, every rank 10 earned at level 110, nothing rank 3+ earned below level 18 (the base game had eight — Runner at 10, Rookie at 15), renown 10 near-completion, a title inert until worn or until renown covers its rank, and — the one that matters — the exp bonus writes to `skl.<x>.p` which IS saved, so it is checked against stacking over thirty ticks and across a reload. |
+| `ids.mjs` | That no two things in a namespace share an id, across all fourteen of them. Ids are the save's primary key and the game matches them in loops with no `break`, so a duplicate is corruption that compounds: Fire Mastery and the Companions parent both had 2010, and the skill sheet doubled on every save/load. Also that five save/load cycles do not grow the sheet, and that a deliberately damaged one is repaired. |
+| `marketplace.mjs` | That the marketplace can be reached and cannot be locked out. The "Pamphlet" is the only thing in the game that opens it and the Paper Boy retires the moment it is handed over, so selling it — which the mod's own selling allowed — took the marketplace, its shops, a quest and the realm 2-5 pills away for good. Checks that key items are unsellable and ordinary goods are not, that a stuck save recovers, that a fresh character still meets the Paper Boy exactly once, and that every added choice line fits in a 22px row. |
+| `wiki.mjs` | The wiki: that it covers what the game actually contains — every skill, area, item, title, action, realm, technique, manual and pill, plus all 974 perk lines — counted from `skl`/`area`/`item`/`ttl` rather than listed, so adding content without adding it to the wiki fails here on its own. Also that it reflects the save, that the spawn shares come from `area.popc` (the bands `mon_gen` rolls against) rather than the raw weights, that the two areas which are not places stay out, that the Damp cellar has real spawn bands now and an area with none would still be tagged "nothing spawns" (it strips a live area's weights to prove it), that no group is a wall of entries, that search opens the groups it matches inside, that a page which throws does not take the rest down, and that clicking the bottom-bar button really opens a working tab. |
+| `places.mjs` | The catacombs entrance and the Pill Tower: both gated and the Village Center's own choices untouched, the catacombs gate sitting on the rung below their cap so the ladder keeps its order (forest 20 → deep 30 → catacombs 40), all 26 of the author's rooms reachable with none written by the mod, `mod_t_cata` finally firing, the tower drawing and stocking without colliding with the author's own `chss.pltwr1`, and the spirit vein giving once a day and scaling with the realm. |
+| `cultivation.mjs` | Realms and elemental mastery: a new character is Mortal, reaching the Qi Circulation level puts you at a bottleneck rather than advancing you, realms cannot be skipped or entered under-levelled, the pill is spent on failure as well as success, consolidating past the requirement improves the odds, a realm is worth a real multiplier and does not compound over repeated `allbuff` calls, no technique fires below Qi Refining, and techniques reach the real attack path at the advertised rate through the INT branch of `dmg_calc`. Also checks a throwing proc never costs you the swing. Since v4.0 a breakthrough also costs insight and a failure in the open causes Qi Deviation, so the attempt loops grant insight and clear deviation to keep measuring the roll alone. The road's own rules are in `road.mjs`. |
+| `dojo.mjs` | The Level Advancement ladder past level 30: pills sized against what a level actually costs (`4*lvl^3 + lvl^2`, so 5.3M at level 110 — the game's best pill is 0.3% of one), the continuation hidden until the base six rungs are claimed and off every one-time screen, the base lobby left intact, one rung at a time in order and gated on level, claiming pays coin and pills, the 50/75/100 rungs offer a manual choice and are not claimed until one is picked, and the ladder stops at 110. |
+| `titlepicker.mjs` | The picker groups by skill: many titles collapse to few rows, the header is the best held rather than the first earned, base-game titles group with the generated ones, the caret opens and closes without selecting, other groups stay shut, selecting from inside a group wears it and closes the window, and story titles stay loose. |
+| `perkcoverage.mjs` | Every skill has perks all the way up the ladder it can now climb: none without perks, none topping out below the highest story cap, levels ascending everywhere (the save keys "granted" flags by array index), no perk text blank, and no gap over 40 levels. Before section 22, 81 of 94 skills gave nothing between level 51 and 110. |
+| `actionlock.mjs` | The added actions are earned, not handed over on load: locked on a fresh character, still locked after seven seconds (the old build re-granted every five), each unlocked by its own skill milestone and no other, surviving a save/load, and absent again from a fresh save. The count is derived from `MOD_ACTIONS`, so the fifth — Closed Door Training — is covered without a literal. |
+| `freeactions.mjs` | The "Unrestricted actions" checkbox: conditions bypassed and several sustained actions running at once on separate intervals while checked, base-game behaviour while unchecked, everything stopped and no orphan intervals when it is turned back off, and the setting persisted. Note it opens the actions tab first — the game's own `deactivateAct` calls `refreshAct(a.t, ...)`, and `a.t` only exists once the panel has rendered. |
+| `saveslots.mjs` | The three save slots, driven through the real UI and the real `save()`/`load()`: slots stay independent, switching preserves the slot you leave, "start new save" does not touch the others, deleting one leaves the rest and the mod's settings alone, and a pre-slot save is adopted rather than orphaned. It clears `localStorage` and reloads the page repeatedly, so run it against a copy if you value what is in the browser profile. |
+| `slotsettings.mjs` | Settings inside the save are adopted once per browser: the first load takes what the browser lacks and marks itself, and a later load (a slot switch) does not pull another slot's snapshot in or write a key the other slots would inherit. |
+| `grademark.mjs` | Skill rarity by more than colour: rank 2 and up carries a grade number drawn by CSS from an attribute on the name cell, so it survives the game's per-second rewrite and the name text stays plain. |
+| `catchup.mjs` | Catching up a hidden tab: a normal tick replays nothing; ten minutes away moves the clock ten minutes and gives the running action its seconds; a day away is capped at the hour; a fight when you left is never replayed; `setCatchUp(0)` turns it off, persists and travels in the save. Time away is faked by moving the loop's last-tick time back. |
+| `screens.mjs` | Late-game screen audit: a capped character with a 60-character name draws every location, and every choice line on the mod's own screens is checked for wrapping or spilling (the rows are a fixed 22px). The author's offenders are listed, not judged. Runs on `BROWSER=webkit` too. |
+| `dishes.mjs` | The fifteen dishes nothing taught: found by the same source scan the wiki uses, taught by Cooking level in order across 6-44, nothing early, nothing twice, and through the real tick. The placeholder and the accessories are left alone. |
+| `creaturegear.mjs` | Every creature held one shared weapon: none does now, no two share a slot, his 32 affinity lines are read back and applied, and the player's fists scaling with level reach no creature. |
+| `dojowall.mjs` | The instructor's pill for the wall: stuck at a realm 6-10 wall without the pill, the dojo gives it once on request, nothing at other times or at walls the herbalist covers, and the level reward for that realm skips a duplicate. |
+| `docs.mjs` | The numbers the docs state: section count, version, script count against `run.sh` and the files, the suite's duration. Read from the source, no browser. |
+| `econ.mjs` | **What the ladder asks you to pay, against what you can earn.** Income per hour at every story tier from every source open there — fighting each area (the real swings a kill takes through `dmg_calc`, for a player at that tier's cap, the drop table sold at the shops' rate, plus time to recover the health it cost) and gathering at each node — and the best one taken. Every required price is held to one rule on the Original preset: no more than 10% of the climb it gates, in hours of that income (one hour where the climb is under ten). A realm pill gates the Circulate Qi climb from the realm below; all hundred Jade Slips together are held to 10% of what the game pays after the Archive opens. The Mod before 4.2 preset is printed beside it, not held to it. |
+| `settings-boxes.mjs` | The settings-menu number boxes: render, apply, clamp, Enter-to-commit, don't clobber a focused box, mirror console changes, persist across reload, leave the rest of the settings window alone. |
+| `areagate.mjs` | The three added areas stay hidden until golem arena IV (the base game's last normal area) is cleared, then open in order — Hollow, then Spire after 10 Hollow kills, then Vigil after 15 Spire kills — and the level caps track the doors exactly. |
+| `ranks.mjs` | The rank ladder. `you.rank()` is derived from live stats, so the earned rank lives in `global.flags` and `you.rank` is wrapped to floor at it — checked that the wrapper floors and never caps, and that the held rank survives a save/load (`load()` restores fields into the You instance rather than replacing it, which is what makes the wrapper safe). Then the hall: exactly one rung offered at a time, the level gate, beaten rungs shown rather than re-offered, no line wrapping a 22px row, and the entrance sitting above the trailhead's `"<=` line. Finally all 100 matchups — 10 rungs x 10 story tiers — must hold `kill < die` with zero whiffs through the real `dmg_calc`, and the per-rung step must still leave the margin re-asserted. |
+| `crafting.mjs` | The 2★-5★ ladder, and the audit that prompted it re-run live — the base game must still be unable to teach its only 3★ recipe, and must still have no 5★ one. Two of its checks guard real traps rather than being thorough: every new id must land in the block `load()` restores its namespace from (`itemgroup[(id+1)/10000<<0]`), and no rarity may exceed 6, because `equip()` does `global.text.wecs[w.rar][0]` and that table has seven entries. Then the gating (nothing before the deep forest, one node per story rung), the 22px choice rows, the Gather action refusing to run away from a node and teaching exactly its own rung, all twenty recipes making their output, the chain being a chain (the 3★ blade cannot be made before the 2★ one exists), every piece equipping, the economy pointing at crafting rather than at selling ore, and a save/load keeping materials, gear and blueprints. |
+| `names.mjs` | Two things that break quietly. **Names**: ids are checked by `ids.mjs`, but the player never sees an id — section 4 shipped `skl.frg` named "Foraging" when the base game already had `skl.hvt` under that name, which is two identical skill rows *and* ten identically named titles, since section 24 derives a title's name from its skill's. Nothing errored. The author's own repeats (Chashu Ramen, Bandage, Blue Slime, Nameless, and the nine Training Grounds) are listed and allowed; anything the mod adds fails. **The hunter's quest**: `quest.hnt1` wants ten Raw Meat *held at once* and Raw Meat rots on a daily timer, so the stock converges rather than accumulating. The mod never touched the drop table but made a rabbit take ten swings instead of one, which put summer out of reach. Asserts, on both fight settings, that the steady state clears the requirement in every meat area in every season and each creature is at that setting's chance, and that the raise did not turn meat into an income. |
+| `targets.mjs` | **Does the enemy model deliver its own dials?** Every other balance script checks a *relation* — `kill < die`, whiff 0, nothing unwinnable — and none of them checks whether `MOD_ENEMY.kill` is actually being hit, because a single matchup can't tell you: crit rate reaches 33% and a crit is ~8x a normal swing. This samples 45 independent spawns per area and puts a **confidence interval** on the result, comparing against the target *that spawn was solved for* (`_modKillT` / `_modDieT`), not the flat dial — `killT = kill * band^hpSpread * creatureShape(...)`, so a basement rat is legitimately a five-swing kill. The statistic is the ratio measured/target, and the check is practical equivalence (the whole interval inside ±5%) rather than "contains 1.0", because at n=45 the model tracks to ±0.1% and a 1% quantisation bias would fail a significance test while meaning nothing in play. Also unit-tests `lib/stats.mjs` before trusting it. Catches the model drifting off its dials without breaking the ordering, which is invisible to every other script here. |
+| `convergence.mjs` | Skill rarity and folding. Rarity comes off `MOD_rankForLevel`, the same call titles use, and every threshold lands on a different grade. The ten converged skills are unique, registered with the cap and panel maps, carry no perks and no titles, and sit at the **end** of `skl`, where positional exp slots only append. Folding costs one slip each, lowest level first, and — the claim that matters — **never shortens `you.skls`**: every stat after folding all hundred is exactly its unfolded value times the convergence bonus, a folded skill keeps levelling without being unfolded by `giveSkExp`'s re-add, the bonus does not compound over 200 refreshes or a reload, and the Slip Archive's lines fit a 22px row. |
+| `vanilla.mjs` | **The mod against the original game.** Loads the page twice, once with `mod.js` blocked — the author's game exactly — and runs the same code in both. Asserts the character exp curve is identical, every skill level below `MOD_XP.vanillaTo` costs exactly what **his** `expnext` returns (read from his page, not re-derived), level 110 is exactly as far away as before, every trainable skill is on the mod's curve, and the skill exp multiplier and coin drop ship at his values. Fights are **measured, not matched**: it prints the gap on the opening route and asserts only that the mod is winnable wherever the original is and never deadlier than the deadliest fight the original lets you win. Since v4.6 that gap is the **Scaled** setting's; the default is matched, and `fights.mjs` holds it. |
+| `polish.mjs` | The v4.3 fixes, each held to its claim: the live `allbuff` chain runs the game's own once; the skill panel redraws once when its list changes and not every second after; the Damp cellar spawns, is posted only after the tutorial, pays once and returns you to the board; the four finished titles land at their exact thresholds and `ttl.ddcd` is untouched; the realm on the rank line appears only once cultivation begins, breaks through when clicked, refuses without a pill, and in its longest form keeps the player panel at its original height; rarity is named in the tooltip, sorts, and filters; the What next page follows Start here and reads locked where the game is locked; and, with the list long enough to scroll, every skill row keeps its three cells on one line and the panel never scrolls sideways — which only fails on an engine with a classic scrollbar, so run it with `BROWSER=webkit`. |
+| `backups.mjs` | Save backups. The snapshot sits before section 1 in `mod.js`, so a later section that throws cannot stop it; a first load with no save backs up nothing; a version change backs up **exactly** the blob the game is about to read, once; a daily backup lives in its own place, refreshes after a day and not before, and rotation never touches it; a backup downloads as a file holding the save and loads back from it, and a file that is not a backup is refused; restoring brings the old character back after a reload and backs up the present first; three are kept, newest surviving; and a full `localStorage` skips quietly while costing at most the backup being replaced. Clears and reloads the page repeatedly. |
+| `pacing.mjs` | The two pacing presets are exact — Original is the author's cost below level 10 with 1x exp and no coin drop; Mod before 4.2 is `50 x 1.106^level` at every level, masteries included, with 2x and 15% — the choice survives a reload, changing a box reads as Custom, the wiki describes the curve actually in use, and the settings row is there. |
+| `road.mjs` | **The cultivator's road, rule by rule**, with the game's `random()` stood in for per check so each rule is deterministic. First it prints each realm against the climb to it on the live curve — hours of Circulate Qi, the insight the wall asks for, the time to earn it meditating and in seclusion, and the deviation for failing — and holds the v4.6 sizing: 5% of the climb meditating, three times faster in seclusion, full consolidation as long as that, deviation at least as long, and no wall smaller than the one below. Roots roll at their weights, once, and their speed bonus reconciles through `skl.qic.p` without compounding; the cleansing pill moves up one grade and is refused at the top. Layers climb 1-9 across a realm, carry the genre's names, and are worth x1.16 stats and x1.24 body at the peak. Insight comes from exactly its three sources — meditating at a wall (and never on the way up), a kill under 20% health, a first visit — and the place the game parks you between fights is not a visit. Seclusion only starts at a wall, consolidates to a ceiling, and shelters a failure from deviation. Deviation is x0.55 / x0.70, lasts that realm's `MOD_devMinutes`, refuses a second attempt, survives a save and load, and clears by the clock or a pill. The tribulation costs 55/70/85%, is survived healthy, is lost hurt — never fatally — and every attempt lands in the history, which keeps twenty. |
+| `basefixes.mjs` | Section 46's corrections to the author's code. Death: level 0 keeps 55% as the original did, and it only improves, never 0 or negative, and avoiding death leaves energy alone. Shield Mastery: a hit where the bracket was positive is identical to the original, one where it went negative no longer adds defence to the damage, and the level is restored. Luck: raises crit chance on real swings, the model the enemy probe weights by agrees with those swings, it is capped at 50% from luck, `crflt` is restored exactly, and the probe measures through the fixed path. Also that shop prices are formatted on draw and on rewrite, and untouched in "as the original". |
+| `baseline.mjs` | **The balance, pinned.** Records the curve, the dials, realm, wall and tribulation costs, the fight setting and the meat each one drops, prices, and every area's per-spawn fight targets in `baselines/balance.json`, and fails on any difference, naming each number that moved. Only run-to-run-identical numbers go in; a target that differs between two spawns is counted, not recorded. When a change is meant to move balance: `UPDATE=1 PORT=8080 node tests/baseline.mjs`, and commit the file with the change. |
+| `fights.mjs` | **Fights: Original, against the author's page.** Original is the default and the Original pacing preset reads as such; every one of the 70 spawns in his areas comes out identical on both pages — level range, level, HP, STR, AGL, INT, SPD, exp — with `random()` seeded the same on each; the mod's own areas and the rank duels are still sized by section 8; his route is winnable at the point you first reach each step, wherever his whole step is and everywhere past the tutorial, with the median fight no longer than his; Raw Meat is back at his chance and the quest still clears in summer at the kill time measured here; and Scaled puts section 8 and the x1.4 level ranges back, is stored, and is what the Mod before 4.2 preset picks. |
+| `userscript.mjs` | **The mod on the hosted game.** The committed `userscript/proto23-mod.user.js` is exactly what the build makes from the current `mod.js` (so a stale one fails); its header matches the hosted game at document-end with no grants. Then his page with `mod.js` blocked — which is what the hosted game is — runs the userscript at DOMContentLoaded, as a manager does: the mod is live and injected once, its console commands are page globals, it ran to the last section, the key items it protects come from the game's source alone (the same as locally, not polluted by its own injected copy), the changelog button opens the embedded changelog, a save made under it reloads under it and was backed up first, and on a page that already has the mod it stands aside. |
+| `tooltips.mjs` | **Every tooltip reads as text.** Renders all ~1,370 through the game's own `dscr` — every item, weapon, armour piece, shield, accessory, skill, title, action and effect, each the way the game draws it — plus every tooltip the mod attaches while its own screens are drawn (recorded by wrapping `addDesc`, then replayed). Fails on code, `MOD_` names, `undefined`, `NaN`, `null`, `Infinity` or `[object …]`, on a tooltip that throws, and on any handed a function without `addDesc`'s sixth argument — the realm on the rank line printed its own source that way. The author's three placeholder effects are listed and left. |
+| `small.mjs` | Section 48 and the small v4.7 changes: the Qi Settling Pill costs the breakthrough pill of the realm at the wall, in the listing and in rows already stocked; the rank line shows the wall's insight, capped and ASCII; an update is said once in the log and a first install says where things are; Safari alone is reminded to download a backup, once a day, not after a download, with Chrome's "Safari" in its user agent not fooling it; settings travel inside the save to a browser without its own and never overwrite one it has; an untested game version under the userscript is said in the game; and the number-box, wiki-font and legacy-label changes are there. |
+| `capreach.mjs` | Whether a skill can actually **reach** the story cap: the game's exp curve per tier against the xp a skill really receives through the mod's grant path, in hours at 1x and at max game speed. Run it after touching the cap ladder or any xp rate. |
+| `savecompat.mjs` | A save captured from the pre-v2 build (100 discovered skills, `tests/fixtures/v1-save.txt`) loads under the current build without throwing or tripping the "SOMETHING BROKE" screen; base-game progress, and every *surviving* discovered skill's level and milestone flags, come back intact; merged-away skills are simply absent. |
+
+## `tests/lib/stats.mjs`
+
+The one piece of shared code in this directory. Every balance number here is a
+sample mean of something heavy-tailed, and until this the scripts reported
+point estimates — `fightsmoke` medians nine duels, `allareas` prints one number
+per matchup — with nothing to say how much of a gap was real.
+
+- `summarize(samples)` → n, mean, sd, se, 95% CI, and `wide` when the margin
+  exceeds 25% of the mean.
+- `withinBand(samples, target, tolPct)` → practical equivalence. Fails two
+  ways, by real deviation **or** by an interval too wide to conclude anything,
+  and says which. Usually what you want over `hitsTarget`.
+- `hitsTarget(samples, target)` → whether the interval covers the target.
+  Sharper, but with a tight enough sample it always fails.
+
+**Student's t, not the normal approximation.** `fightsmoke` fights nine times
+per area; at n=9 the z-interval is ~15% too narrow, which is the one direction
+that turns noise into a confident wrong answer. Critical values are a small
+embedded table — between rows it takes the **lower-df** (wider) value, never
+the narrower. There is no Python and no stats package in this repo, and adding
+one to compute `mean ± t·sd/√n` would be a dependency, not an improvement.
+
+## Reading the balance output
+
+Both balance scripts print `kill / die` — swings you need to land, and swings
+you can take, each already including miss chance. The enemy model solves for
+these directly, so they should sit near `MOD_ENEMY.kill` and `MOD_ENEMY.die`
+with spread from the area's level band and each creature's own `stat_p`:
+
+- **kill < die** at every single matchup. The model guarantees a `margin`
+  between them; if this is ever violated, something bypassed `MOD_scaleEnemy`.
+- **whiff%** must stay at 0. Anything above means the defender's STR is eating
+  the attacker's damage — the failure mode the old model died of.
+- Wide `kill` spread within a row is intended: that is the level band and
+  creature identity doing their job.
+- **An empty crit stratum is topped up, never dropped.** Every stratified
+  estimator here keeps sampling (up to 8n) until both a crit and a plain hit
+  have shown. The old fallback to a plain mean left the crits out entirely —
+  30% of damage at cap 30 — and read a fight ~40% long 0.15% of the time, which
+  is what used to fail the thin-margin rank duels in `allareas` at random. A new
+  balance script should copy the current `meanDamage`, not an old one.
+
+The dials are live on `MOD_ENEMY` in the browser console — `kill`, `die`,
+`hit`, `hpSpread`, `atkSpread`, `margin`, `bossKill`, `bossDie` — and take
+effect on the next spawn, so you can sweep by hand without an edit-reload
+cycle. `setEnemyScale({kill: 12, die: 24})` takes any subset.
+
+## Serving during development
+
+`tests/run.sh` starts `http-server` **with** `-c-1`, so a browser is never
+handed a `mod.js` from before the edit you are testing. It did not always:
+without the flag http-server sends `max-age=3600`, and that surfaced once as
+an `allareas` failure that would not reproduce when the script was re-run on
+its own. A flaky safety net is worse than a failing one. If you serve the
+folder by hand for a manual look, pass `-c-1` yourself.
+
+## A caution
+
+`audit2.mjs` and several others **write to your save** (they max skills, call
+`save()`, call `load()`). Export a save first, or run them against a copy of
+the folder. They were written as throwaway development checks, not as a suite
+that politely restores what it found.
+
+The balance scripts park `giveSkExp` while they sample (`quiet()` in each).
+`dmg_calc` grants skill exp — `seye` on a crit, the affinity skills on incoming
+damage — and sampling it tens of thousands of times will otherwise level the
+player mid-sweep and quietly invalidate everything measured afterwards. That bug
+looked exactly like a balance failure: `die` collapsing to 5 in one build, with
+max HP dropping 2.5x between the spawn and the measurement. If you write a new
+balance script, do the same thing. `MOD_scaleEnemy` parks them for this reason
+too.

+// Skill rarity, and the convergence.
+//
+// Two features, one test, because they share a page and a screen.
+//
+// RARITY is derived: the rank of the level you have taken a skill to, through
+// the same MOD_RANK_AT thresholds that rank titles. Nothing to keep in step.
+//
+// CONVERGENCE is the load-bearing one. Folding a skill HIDES it rather than
+// removing it from you.skls, and that is not an implementation detail -- it is
+// the whole reason the feature is safe:
+//
+//   * the game's skill panel only rebuilds when you.skls GROWS
+//     (`let sklsize=you.skls.length; ... if(sklsize<you.skls.length)`), so a
+//     shrink would leave orphaned rows on screen forever;
+//   * giveSkExp pushes a skill back into you.skls on its next level-up, banner
+//     and all, so a fold that removed it would undo itself;
+//   * and the mod's allbuff wrappers walk `skl` by key, never you.skls, so a
+//     folded skill goes on applying every buff it ever applied.
+//
+// The last point is the claim worth proving: "all of the buffs" has to be
+// literally true, not re-implemented. So this measures stats across a fold.

+// dmg_calc, for a player at that tier's cap, with the area's real drop table
+// sold at the shops' rate) and gathering at each resource node -- and the best

+//     no required price costs more than 10% of the climb it gates,
+//     counted in hours of the best income open when you get there
+//
+// (or one hour of it, where the climb is shorter than ten). A realm pill gates
+// the Circulate Qi climb from the realm below. The Jade Slips gate nothing, so

+// from the moment the Archive opens.
+//
+// Optional purchases -- the spirit pills and the Root Cleansing Pill -- are held
+// to a day of that income from the tier where each becomes worth buying. The Qi
+// Settling Pill costs the breakthrough pill it follows (section 48), so it is

+//
+// The rule is held on the Original preset, the default: his fights, no coin

+// <script>, which runs in the page's own global scope exactly as the tag does.

The instructor keeps one back.</b> The dojo's pills for those realms are<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;paid at character levels (45, 60, 75, 90, 105), while the walls are Circulate Qi levels, so a wall could come<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;before the level that pays for it. \"A pill for the wall\" on the dojo screen gives that realm's pill once; the level<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;reward for the same realm then skips its pill<br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7 (creature gear):</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/10/07]</span><br>\n<b>Creatures no longer share one weapon.</b> In the game every creature held the same object, and the affinities the author<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;wrote for 16 of them were all written onto it, so each creature carried whichever was written last. Your bare fists<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;were that same object too, so your level raised physical and blunt creatures' damage. Each creature now has its own<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;gear with the values he wrote for it, and your fists are your own<br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7 (dishes, a screen fix):</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/10/07]</span><br>\n<b>Fifteen dishes nothing could teach are now taught by Cooking.</b> Bacon and Eggs, Morning Set, Lunch Set, Onion Rings,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Cooked Fish, Batter Fried Fish, Fried Nori, Steamed Bun, Hippo Cookie, Steak, Cinnamon Bun, Broth, Egg Soup, Creamy<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Chowder and Mushroom Soup were in the game and unreachable. You work each out at a Cooking level from 6 to 44, simplest<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;first. Trinity, Star Shell and Grand Gelatin (his late accessories) are still unteachable<br>\n<b>The gate's two locked-door hints no longer wrap</b> over the line below them; the full sentence is in the tooltip<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling, not gameplay: a check that draws every mod screen with a capped character and a very long name; the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;step from the author's last area to the Hollow is now held winnable with margin</span><br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7 (background tabs):</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/10/07]</span><br>\n<b>A game left in a background tab catches up.</b> Browsers slow a hidden tab's timers to about once a minute, so the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;game nearly stopped while you were away. When it next runs, the mod replays the missed time, up to an hour: the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;clock, restocks and weather, and the seconds of the action you were doing. Fights are never replayed, so being<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;away cannot kill you. <code>setCatchUp(seconds)</code> changes the cap, 0 turns it off; it travels with your save<br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7 (wiki search):</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/10/07]</span><br>\n<b>The wiki search covers every page.</b> The page list shows how many entries match on each page, dims the ones with none,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;and Enter jumps to the first page that has a match<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling, not gameplay: package-lock.json is now committed (it was ignored, so every GitHub run failed at install)</span><br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7 (pills and hosting):</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/30]</span><br>\n<b>The Pill Tower stocks the top realm pills sooner.</b> A day is 24 real minutes and the Tower restocks every three, so<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;realm 10's pill at 6% took about twenty hours on average. Realms 8, 9 and 10 now stock at 26%, 20% and 15%: about<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;4.6, 6 and 8 hours, rising with the realm<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling, not gameplay: instructions in the README for playing from the fork's own GitHub Pages site, and a<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>.nojekyll</code> file so Pages serves the files as they are; a check that every Tower pill is in stock within 8 hours</span><br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7 (small):</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/30]</span><br>\n<b>Skill rarity has a grade marker.</b> A small number after a skill's name (2 to 10) gives its rarity rank, so it reads<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;without colour. Rank 1 shows nothing<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling, not gameplay: GitHub caches the downloaded test browsers between runs; a check for the marker</span><br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7 (housekeeping):</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/29]</span><br>\n<b>Switching save slots cannot pull in another slot's settings.</b> A browser now takes settings from a save once, on<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;its first load; a later load (a slot switch) leaves the browser's own settings alone<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling, not gameplay: a check that the docs' stated numbers (sections, scripts, version, suite time) match the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;source; the tests now run on Firefox in GitHub too; the docs' script count is 42<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;(the suite takes about 75 seconds)</span><br>\n<br>\n\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.7:</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/28]</span><br>\n<b>The Qi Settling Pill costs what failing cost.</b> Qi Deviation now lasts as long as the seclusion you skipped &mdash;<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;up to 91 in-game days at the top &mdash; and a flat 5,200 made it ten minutes of late-game coin. It now costs the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;breakthrough pill of the realm you failed at, never less than before<br>\n<b>The rank line shows the wall</b>: at a bottleneck it reads, for example, \"½ step to Nascent Soul &gt;&gt; 40/104\" &mdash; the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;insight you have against what it asks for<br>\n<b>Your settings travel with your save.</b> A browser with no settings of its own takes pacing, fights, number format,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;speed and the rest from the save, so moving to a new browser or device brings them. One that has its own keeps them<br>\n<b>After an update the log says so</b>, once, with the changelog a click away<br>\n<b>On Safari, a reminder to download a backup</b>, at most once a day and not after you have downloaded one. Safari can<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;clear a site's saved data after a week unvisited, backups included<br>\n<b>The userscript says so in the game</b> when the author's game is a version the mod was not tested on<br>\n<b>Near-death insight, explained</b>: the wiki says where fights you nearly lost actually happen. On Original fights his<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;areas are no threat once you reach them; the three past the golem arena and the rank duels bring you there within a<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;few fights. No wall needs it &mdash; each can be met by sitting alone<br>\n<b>Small visuals</b>: the mod's number boxes lose the spinner arrows that sat on their digits in Safari, and the wiki uses a<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;proper monospace font where the game's is missing, so tables wrap the same everywhere. The old pacing preset is<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;labelled legacy: it is kept exactly as it was, and its prices come cheap<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling: every tooltip in the game (1,367 of them) is rendered and read in a new check, so a description<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;that shows code fails the suite; the spirit pills and the Root Cleansing Pill are priced against income too; and the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;tests wait for the game to tick instead of a flat 4.5 seconds &mdash; the whole suite is about 75 seconds. 40 checks.</span><br>\n<br>\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.6:</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/28]</span><br>\n<b>Fights as the author wrote them.</b> A new <i>Fights</i> setting, and <i>Original</i> is the default: every area the author<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;made has his creatures exactly as he made them &mdash; his level ranges, his HP, his exp &mdash; so you out-grow<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;them the way you do in his game. The forest goes back to a swing or two a kill<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;The mod's own areas (the three past the golem arena, and the rank duels) are still sized to you, since<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;there is no original of them. <i>Scaled</i> is the old behaviour everywhere, and the <i>Mod before 4.2</i> preset picks it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Raw Meat is back to the author's 6% on Original: the raise to 18% only made up for the mod's longer fights<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Checked against the author's own page: all 70 spawns in his areas come out stat for stat the same, and<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;every step of his route past the tutorial is winnable at the point you first reach it.</span><br>\n<b>Breakthrough walls sized to the climb.</b> Realms 3 to 10 take days to months of Circulate Qi on the current skill<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;curve, but the insight they asked for (5 to 19) and the fifteen minutes of seclusion were sized for when<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;they took minutes, and meditating on the way up paid for every wall long before you reached it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Now a wall asks for about 5% of the climb to it, and meditating only earns insight while you are at one.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Realm 3's wall is 60 insight, about 1.4 hours in seclusion; realm 10's is 1,580, about 37 hours<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Full consolidation takes as long as seclusion takes to earn that insight, so sitting it out finishes both,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;and failing in the open leaves you deviated for as long as the seclusion you skipped. The wiki's cultivation<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;page has the table. Realms 1 and 2 are as they were<br>\n<b>The Pill Tower's top pills cost what you can earn.</b> Realm 8, 9 and 10 were 900K, 2.4M and 7M, priced when<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;enemies dropped coin. With the original's no coin drop, they are 540K, 560K and 6.5M<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Measured: the best income at every stage, from fighting in each area and gathering at each node, against<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;every price the ladder requires. The rule is that none costs more than 10% of the climb it gates. The<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Herbalist's pills and the Jade Slips already passed; all hundred slips come to about 4% of what the game<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;pays after the Slip Archive opens.</span><br>\n<b>Play it on the author's hosted game</b>, with no local copy: userscript/proto23-mod.user.js, for Tampermonkey or<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Violentmonkey. It runs the whole mod on https://23html.github.io/, and your save there is backed up before the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;mod first touches it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling, not gameplay: the tests run on GitHub for every push and pull request; a check that the author's<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;two files are still his (his changelog byte for byte, index.html his plus the one script tag); and the test<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;runner reports seconds per script. allareas, listed as the slow one, now takes about seven seconds, so it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;was left as it is. New checks: fights.mjs and userscript.mjs; econ.mjs is now a real check rather than a<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;printout. 38 in all.</span><br>\n<b>Safari.</b> The skill list no longer wraps each exp bar onto a second line (Safari's scrollbar left the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;row a few pixels short, which also made the list scroll sideways); the mod's dropdowns in settings match<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;the panel instead of showing as grey system buttons; and clicking a section header no longer selects its text<br>\n<b>The realm tooltip</b> on the rank line showed a page of program code instead of your realm, root, insight and<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;breakthrough odds. It shows those now<br>\n<b>The skill list does far less work</b> while it is open: it only redraws what changed each second, rather than<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;every line &mdash; about ten times cheaper, in every browser<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling: every check can now run on WebKit, the engine Safari is built on, and GitHub runs them on<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;both. The Safari problems above were invisible in Chrome's test browser, which has no scrollbar width.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;On Safari, download a backup now and then: it can clear a site's saved data after a week unvisited.</span><br>\n<br>\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.5:</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/28]</span><br>\n<b>Three bugs in the author's own code, fixed.</b><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Death made dying worse the more you levelled it.</b> You kept 55% of your energy at level 0, none at<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;level 10, and went into NEGATIVE energy from level 11 &mdash; the opposite of what the skill says. It now<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;keeps 55% at level 0, exactly as before, rising to 78% at 10 and 96% at 110<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Shield Mastery could turn your defence into extra damage.</b> At high levels one bracket in the enemy's<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;damage went below zero and your defence was added to the hit instead of taken off it. That bracket<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;now stops at zero. Nothing changes where it was already fine<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Luck never touched your crit chance.</b> The author wrote a luck multiplier and then declared it where<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;the crit roll could not see it. It works now, up to a 50% crit chance from luck<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Why the cap: the mod's perks grant far more luck than the author's game ever did, and through his<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;formula a capped-out character would crit on every swing. Enemies are sized with it included.</span><br>\n<b>Breakthrough history</b> on the What next page: your last attempts, their odds, and how each ended<br>\n<b>Backups: once a day as well</b>, in their own place so they cannot push out an update's backup; and any<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;backup can be <b>downloaded as a file</b> and loaded back, so a save survives clearing the browser<br>\n<b>Shop prices read</b>: the mod's own stock (pills to seven million) follows your number format. The base<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;game's prices, all under 10,000, are untouched<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Tooling: tests for the cultivation road (every rule, which until now had only been checked by hand),<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;for the three fixes, and a balance baseline &mdash; the numbers that define the balance are kept in<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;tests/baselines/balance.json, so any change to them shows as a diff. 36 checks, all passing.</span><br>\n<br>\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.4:</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/27]</span><br>\n<b>Your saves are backed up before a new version of the mod loads.</b> Every slot, copied before the game<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;has even read its save. Three are kept. The saves panel lists them, restores one, or backs up on demand<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">It is the very first thing the mod does when it loads, and depends on nothing after it: an<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;update that breaks is exactly when you want the backup, and a broken section stops everything<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;below it while the game goes on loading and autosaving. Restoring puts every slot back, and backs<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;up what you had first, so it can be undone. It restores your saves, not the mod's code.</span><br>\n<b>A Pacing setting</b>: <i>Original</i>, the default since 4.2, or <i>Mod before 4.2</i> &mdash; skills much faster early,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;skill exp 2x and a 15% coin drop, exactly as the mod played before. Level 110 is the same distance<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;away in both, and fights are the same. Change one of those boxes yourself and it reads <i>Custom</i><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">New checks: tests/backups.mjs and tests/pacing.mjs. The backup check caught a real bug before it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;shipped: when there was no room, it cleared every older backup to make space and then lost them<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;anyway when the copy still did not fit. It now frees only the one it is replacing.</span><br>\n<br>\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.3:</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/27]</span><br>\n<b>Documentation, not gameplay: the notes and READMEs brought up to date.</b><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;MOD-NOTES.md opens with an overview of the mod as it stands at 4.3, and gains the missing<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;chapters for 4.0 to 4.3. Older passages that later versions changed now carry a dated note<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;beside them rather than being rewritten, since the reasoning is the point of that file<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Two corrections along the way: the notes gave the top realm as \"Ascendant\" (it is Tribulation<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Transcendence), and the README listed seven realms, Mortal through Ascendant (there are ten above<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Mortal). Both READMEs now describe 43 sections, 31 test scripts and 3,720 matchups.</span><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Repository: the checkout's remotes were renamed &mdash; origin is the fork, upstream is the author's<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;game &mdash; so the author's-changelog check is now against upstream/main.</span><br>\n<b>modHelp() lists every console command</b> &mdash; fifty-four, grouped by purpose. It listed six, from the first<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;version, and said skill exp resets on reload, which stopped being true when the settings box<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;began persisting it. A check now fails if a new command is left out of it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Housekeeping: the code comments in sections 38 and 39, and two lines of the 4.0 entry below,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;quoted Wuxiaworld's glossary at length. They paraphrase and cite it now. CLAUDE.md brought up to<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;date as well: the remotes, five actions, the dead wrappers now removed, and current counts.</span><br>\n<br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/26]</span><br>\n<b>Your realm is on the main screen, and it is the breakthrough button.</b><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;The rank line now reads \"rank: 135T &middot; Core Formation 5/9\". At a bottleneck it says \"&frac12; step to<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Nascent Soul &gt;&gt;\" and clicking it breaks through, with the same checks, odds and tribulation as ever.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Its tooltip shows your root, your insight, whether you hold the pill, your odds, and whether<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;you are sheltered in seclusion<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">The player panel is a fixed-height box and already full, so this shares the rank line rather<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;than adding one. Plain text only: a &#9650; and a &#9888; each made the panel taller, measured.</span><br>\n<b>A What next page in the wiki</b>, right after Start here. It reads your save and says what is ready<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;now, what you are working on, and what opens the rest: story cap, cultivation, locked actions,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;the dojo, the late areas, the rank ladder, crafting, convergence, and odd jobs<br>\n<b>Rarity reads as a word, not only a colour.</b> The skill tooltip names it. The skill panel sorts by rarity<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;and can show only one rarity and above<br>\n<b>The Damp cellar is finally somewhere.</b> It is the author's area, but it had no spawn weights (nothing could<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;appear), no way in, and an exit into two screens that were never written. It is Notice #1 on the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Message Board now, once the dojo has taught you to fight. The first clear pays<br>\n<b>Four unfinished titles finished:</b> Second-Rate and First-Rate Shopper at 5,000 and 10,000 purchases (the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;author's own numbers, commented out in his code), and Peasant and Merchant at 10 and 100 gold<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">The fifth, named \"null\", is left alone: nothing says what it was for.</span><br>\n<b>Fixed: the skill list rebuilt itself every second, forever,</b> once it had grown with the panel open: every<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;row, every second, until you closed it. It redraws once per change now, and notices a skill leaving<br>\n<b>Rank duels have more headroom</b> (1.25 to 1.4). The top challengers hit about 12% softer<br>\n<b>Every enemy has been checked against a fully merged character too</b>, 3,720 fights in all, and all are winnable<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Housekeeping: three unused copies of the stat-refresh code removed. Tutorial fight 1 was on the list<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;as a fight you could lose; that is only true of the original's numbers, and here it was already<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;winnable (8 swings to win, 23 to lose), so nothing changed. New check: tests/polish.mjs.</span><br>\n<br>\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.2:</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/26]</span><br>\n<b>Measured against the original game, and brought back in line with it.</b><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">A new check (tests/vanilla.mjs) loads the game twice, once with this mod blocked, which is<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;the author's game exactly, and runs the same measurements on both.</span><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Skills cost exactly what the original charges, for the first ten levels.</b> The mod's old curve<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;was 12x faster than the author's at level 5 and 364x faster at level 10, which is exactly the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;range he designed: all 22 of his perk ladders end between level 1 and 15. From level 10 it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;rises about 3% a level, at a rate worked out so level 110 is exactly as far away as it was<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Why not match him to 15, his last perk? His level 15 alone costs 823,099 xp, and ninety-five<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;more levels even at that flat price is two and a half times the whole budget.</span><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Skill exp is 1x and enemy coin drops are off</b>, the original's values. Both were raised by this<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;mod (2x, 15%). The coin drop is the author's own mechanism, switched on only by the Coin Ring<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;and the Ring of Greed; at 15% under them those two rings were worthless. Both settings<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;boxes still work, and anything you set there yourself still wins<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Fixed: the six elemental masteries were stuck on the original's curve.</b> The mod installed its<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;curve before they existed, so level 20 cost 7,474,050 xp instead of 375 and their perks to<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;110 could not be reached<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Fixed: about one spawn in twenty came out much weaker than intended.</b> Enemy strength is set by<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;sampling 32 of your swings, and when none of them crit the crits were not averaged badly, they<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;were left out entirely, and they are 30% of your damage. Those spawns were ~20% short. Now<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;98% of spawns land within 4% of their intended fight length<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">The same bug in the balance tests is also why they sometimes failed on a rank duel and<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;passed on a re-run: 0.15% of the time they read a fight 40% longer than it was.</span><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Not matched, on purpose: fight length.</b> At equal progression the original's early fights take<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;one or two swings and almost never hurt you, because you out-level its fixed creatures. This<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;mod holds every fight near 9 swings and 22 to die. The test prints that gap<br>\n<br>\n<b>Big numbers are readable: Short (4.56M), Scientific (1.23e7) or Myriads (5.6&#x4EBF;).</b><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;A Number format row in settings. Stats, health, energy, exp, damage, Power rank and money all use it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Up to 9,999 every format prints exactly what the original prints.</b> That threshold is the author's.<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;His damage log checks for numbers over 9,999 and calls his own compactor, then throws the result<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;away, so damage was never compacted. It is now<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">Myriads are his notation too: his wallet already counts in 10^8 coins (&#x32E7;) over groups of<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;10^4, which is &#x4EBF; and &#x4E07;. \"As the original\" leaves every number exactly as he draws it.</span><br>\n<br>\n<span style=\"color:gold;background-color:black\">----MOD 4.1:</span><br>\n<span style=\"color:blue\">[2026/09/26]</span><br>\n<b>Skill rarity, and convergence &mdash; fold a whole section into one skill.</b><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Every skill has a rarity now</b>, ten of them from Novice to Transcendent, and the<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;skill list paints each row in its colour<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:grey\">It is the rank of the level you have taken the skill to &mdash; the same thresholds and<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;the same ten colours titles use. Derived, not assigned: a hand-picked rarity per skill<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;would be a hundred numbers to keep in step with a ladder that moves, and would say<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;nothing about your character.</span><br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Jade Slips (&#x7389;&#x7B80;)</b> fold a skill into its section. Fold every skill in a section and it<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;is one line on your sheet instead of up to twenty-five &mdash; Warfare, Constitution,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Pathfinding, Livelihood, Workmanship, Fortitude, Attunement, Provision, Maintenance,<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;Fellowship<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>The Slip Archive</b> is on the dojo lobby, beside Level Advancement. It sells the slips;<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;the price rises with every one you have spent, so converging all hundred is a project<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Folding costs you nothing but the slip.</b> A folded skill keeps its level, keeps earning<br>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;exp, keeps every perk and keeps applying every buff it ever applied.

Speed control      — setSpeed(n) / getSpeed(), persisted\n     2. Skill XP multiplier — 2x by default, setSkillXp(n) to change\n     3. Extended milestones — perks past the original lv ~15 ceiling\n     4. New skills + actions — Qi Circulation, Wildcraft, Calligraphy,\n                               Conditioning, each with a sustained action\n\n   SAVE COMPATIBILITY — why things are done the way they are:\n     * The game saves milestone \"already granted\" flags BY ARRAY INDEX\n       (save: `mst[m] = mlstn[m].g`). So milestones are only ever APPENDED,\n       never inserted. Inserting would shift the indices and silently mark\n       the wrong perks as granted.\n     * On load the game re-fires any milestone whose level is <= your current\n       skill level and isn't flagged granted. So appended milestones are\n       awarded retroactively on an existing save. That's by design here.\n     * The game saves each skill's exp and `p` POSITIONALLY over `for..in skl`.\n       New skills are therefore added at the END of the `skl` object, which is\n       what happens naturally since this file runs after the game script.\n     * Actions are saved by id, not position, so new actions are safe.\n\n   To disable everything: remove the <script src=\"mod.js\"> line from\n   index.html. Nothing else in the game was modified.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nconsole.log('[mod] loading');\n\nvar MOD = {\n  version: '4.7',    // v2.0: the ~100 \"discovered by playing\" skills consolidated\n                     // to 10; per-stat effect budget unchanged.

A BACKUP OF YOUR SAVE BEFORE AN UPDATE LOADS  —  keep this first\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   v4.2 changed how fast skills level, on saves people were already playing.\n   That kind of change can always be undone in code; it cannot be undone in a\n   save the new version has already written over. So the first time a new\n   version of the mod loads, it copies the save — the live one and all three\n   slots — before the game has read it, let alone autosaved.\n\n   This is the FIRST thing mod.js does, and it depends on nothing below it, for\n   one reason: an update that breaks is exactly when you want the backup, and a\n   section that throws stops every line after it. The game still loads and\n   autosaves without the rest of the mod, so the copy has to exist before any of\n   that code has had the chance to fail. Plain literals for the save keys, then\n   — section 20's constants do not exist yet.\n\n   Three backups, oldest replaced first, under p23_backup_1..3 — \"oldest\" by a\n   sequence number, not the clock, which ties within a millisecond. A backup\n   that will not fit gives up with a warning, and it only ever frees the space\n   of the one it was replacing: an earlier version cleared every other backup to\n   make room and then lost them anyway when the retry failed too. Failing to back\n   up must never stop the game loading, and must never cost an older backup.\n   Restoring, and backing up by hand, are in section 44.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nMOD.backup_key   = 'p23_backup_';\nMOD.backup_ver   = 'p23_mod_lastver';\nMOD.backup_count = 3;        // 1..3 rotate: version changes, by hand, from a file\nMOD.backup_daily = 4;        // 4 is the daily one, and only the daily one replaces it\n\nfunction MOD_backupRead(n) {\n  try {\n    var raw = localStorage.getItem(MOD.backup_key + n);\n    var rec = raw ?

ENEMY SCALING AND NEW CONTENT\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Sections 3-7 make the player far stronger than vanilla, and the added skill\n   curve lets every skill reach the story cap, so player power runs away by a\n   factor of thousands across the ladder while lvlup() grows enemies linearly.\n   Something has to close that gap. Getting it right depends entirely on which\n   enemy FIELD you scale, so read this before touching any of it.\n\n   --- why the obvious model does not work ----------------------------------\n\n   dmg_calc (index.html) is SUBTRACTIVE in both directions:\n\n       you hit it :  (your STR * eff + weapon) * affinity  -  its STR   + 1\n       it hits you:   its STR * affinity  -  (your STR * eff + armour)\n\n   The defender's STR IS their armour. So multiplying an enemy's STR raises its\n   offence and its armour together, and the moment its armour passes your STR\n   your damage does not get small, it clamps to ZERO. AGL has the same problem\n   from the other end: it is the denominator of hit_calc(1), so scaling it drops\n   your hit chance as fast as it raises theirs.\n\n   The mod used to multiply strm/aglm/intm by one number and hpm by another,\n   fitted with a grid search scored on enemyHP/playerSTR and playerHP/enemySTR.\n   Both of those proxies ignore the subtraction, and measured through the game's\n   real math (tests/combat.mjs, tests/earlybal.mjs) the result was:\n\n       tutorial fight 1   99% of landed hits dealt 0 damage, ~63,000 swings to\n                          kill a straw dummy, and it killed you in 1\n       tier 3 onward      kill 1 / die 1 at every single tier - whoever swung\n                          first won\n\n   Not a tuning miss. The fields were wrong.\n\n   --- what is scaled now ---------------------------------------------------\n\n   Three things a fight can be, three separate fields, no crosstalk:\n\n       how long it takes to kill     ->  hpm            (enemy max HP)\n       how fast it kills you         ->  _modAtk        (see the dmg_calc wrap)\n       how often either side lands   ->  aglm           (solved for a hit rate)\n\n   Enemy STR stays at its base-game value (MOD_ENEMY.armor), because that field\n   is armour and touching it is what broke everything. Threat is delivered\n   instead by _modAtk, which the dmg_calc wrapper below applies to the attacker's\n   STR/INT for the duration of one attack roll only — offence without armour.\n\n   --- anchored to the player, shaped by the area ---------------------------\n\n   The targets are ratios (kill in N swings, die in M), not absolute curves, so\n   the dials are solved per spawn against the player's current power rather than\n   fitted to a level. That is deliberate: within tier 0 alone the player goes\n   from STR 1 to STR ~265, a 265x swing, and no fixed multiplier survives that.\n\n   Variety still comes from the area: each enemy is placed against the mean\n   level of the population it spawned from, so a lv 24 bat in a 14-24 basement\n   is genuinely harder than a lv 14 one, and each creature keeps its own stat_p\n   character on top of that.\n\n   The dials are two-sided. Flooring them at the base game's values sounds safe\n   and is not: it leaves pockets where the base game's own subtractive damage\n   has already made a fight unwinnable, and the floor prevents the fix. An enemy\n   can come out below its vanilla stats when your damage is small enough that\n   vanilla HP would take 21 swings.\n\n   Tune with setEnemyScale({kill: 12, die: 30}) and see modBalance().\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nvar MOD_ENEMY = {\n  kill:       8,   // target landed swings to kill an average enemy of your area\n  die:       20,   // target swings for that enemy to kill you\n  hit:     0.45,   // target share of the enemy's swings that land on you\n  hpSpread: 0.6,   // within an area, HP scales as (lvl / area mean lvl)^this\n  atkSpread: 0.3,  // ... and attack as the same ratio ^this\n  margin:   1.7,   // no spawn may be closer than this to a fight you cannot win\n  armor:    1.0,   // enemy STR left at base-game value x this.

That does not survive contact with the\n   real formula. Two things break it:\n\n   * It is ill-conditioned. Enemy damage is `attack - your defence`, and late on\n     your defence dwarfs the damage the subtraction is supposed to leave behind\n     (STR ~4.1M against a target of ~56k), so a 2% error in the replica is a\n     150% error in the result.\n\n   * The base game's defence term goes NEGATIVE. Its last multiplier is\n         (100 - (eqp[1].aff[atype]*5*(1+shdc/20) + target.cls[ctype]*5*(1+shdc/20)))/100\n     and with shdc at level 110 that bracket is 6.5, while `eqp.dummy` — the one\n     item object every unequipped slot and every monster shares — has had your\n     unarmed progression written into it by lvlup (`aff[0] = you.lvl/5`,\n     `cls[2] = you.lvl/4`). At character level 92 the multiplier is -12.3, so\n     your \"defence\" is added to the enemy's damage instead of subtracted, and a\n     lv 59 golem with 57 STR hits for 190 million. No attack-stat dial can\n     correct for a term of the wrong sign.\n\n   So nothing is replicated. Each spawn runs the game's own dmg_calc a handful of\n   times, in both directions, and is scaled against what actually came out.\n   MOD_probe parks the side effects while that happens: dmg_calc grants skill xp,\n   sets the crit flag and jiggles a DOM node, none of which may fire because a\n   monster walked into the room. giveSkExp is swapped locally rather than\n   flag-guarded because other sections wrap it too, and this must not depend on\n   which order they loaded in.\n   -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */\n\nfunction MOD_probe(fn) {\n  var keepG = giveSkExp, keepCrti = global.flags.crti;\n  var keepM = global.current_m, keepT = global.target;\n  var keepD = (typeof dom !== 'undefined') ? dom.d1m : null;\n  giveSkExp = function () {};\n  if (keepD) dom.d1m = { style: {} };\n  try { return fn(); }\n  catch (e) { return null; }\n  finally {\n    giveSkExp = keepG; global.flags.crti = keepCrti;\n    global.current_m = keepM; global.target = keepT;\n    if (keepD) dom.d1m = keepD;\n  }\n}\n\n/* The crit chance dmg_calc rolls against, reproduced exactly.

The reason is on the player's side, not the\n   enemy's: across skill levels 10 to 30 the player's STR grows about 20x\n   (665 -> 13763) while max HP grows about 1.5x (1522 -> 2337). Offence is\n   exponential, defence is nearly flat. Any enemy tough enough to survive the\n   player's damage necessarily one-shots the player.\n\n   So defence is scaled to follow offence, rather than the player's damage\n   being cut. Nothing here weakens the character — it raises max HP by the same\n   curve the added skills raise damage, damped by hpTrack so combat still has\n   teeth.\n\n   This also replaced the two nested allbuff wrappers from sections 6 and 7\n   with a single one, so the pre-effect STR can be read at the right moment.\n   Section 10 then re-anchored on the game's allbuff in turn; all three\n   superseded wrappers were removed in v4.3.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nvar MOD_PLAYER = {\n  hpTrack: 0.92   // max HP follows offence as ratio^hpTrack; 1 = exactly, 0 = not at all\n};\n\n/* --- the body multipliers, in one place ------------------------------------\n   `stat_r` recomputes BOTH of the body's maximums from their inputs:\n\n       hpmax  = ceil((hp_r  + hpa ) * hpm  * hpe )\n       satmax = ceil((sat_r + sata) * satm * sate)\n\n   so nothing that ASSIGNS hpmax or satmax survives.

The x8.5 the realm advertised lasted one call and was then gone, which\n   is why the ladder's top felt no sturdier than its bottom.\n\n   `hpm` and `satm` ARE inputs, so they survive — and both are SAVED\n   (`hpm:you.hpm`, `satm:you.satm`), so anything writing them has to divide its\n   own previous contribution back out or it compounds on every load, the way\n   `you.res` once did.\n\n   TWO contributors now want the same two fields, which is the reason for this\n   registry rather than a second delta-tracker beside the first.

PROGRESSION LEVEL CAPS  +  100 MORE SKILLS\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   A. THE CAP\n   Skills stop gaining xp at a ceiling set by how far you have got in the\n   story. This is what keeps the whole thing bounded: the earlier sections made\n   player power exponential in skill level, and a cap turns that into a series\n   of finite steps instead of an open curve.\n\n   Tiers are read from `global.flags`, which the game saves and restores\n   (`global.flags = a1.e` on load), so the cap follows the save rather than the\n   browser. Each tier also has a base-game flag as a fallback, so a character\n   who already cleared that content is not stuck at a low cap.\n\n   B. THE SKILLS\n   A set discovered by playing — same machinery as section 7, reading the\n   game's own `global.stat.*` counters and environment state. All 44 of those\n   counters were checked to be incremented somewhere in the game. Originally\n   100; consolidated in v2 to 10 that each carry a family's worth of effect,\n   with the per-stat totals held exactly (see \"Balance, sixth pass\" in\n   MOD-NOTES).\n\n   Their continuous effects are summed per stat and applied ONCE, additively.\n   The 13 skills from sections 4 and 7 each multiply in sequence, which is what\n   produced the runaway curve; doing that with a hundred of them would be\n   absurd (100 skills at +15% compounding is ~1.2 million x). Per-level rates\n   are also normalised per stat, so a stat carried by 6 skills is not six times\n   weaker than one carried by many.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* --- tiers ---------------------------------------------------------------- */\n\n/* --- endgame progress -----------------------------------------------------\n   Kills earned inside each new area, counted from the game's own akills\n   counter while global.current_z is that area.

The mod's own skill `use()`\n       calls above add straight into `you.str` and friends, and stat_r would\n       recompute those from (r + a) * m * e and wipe them.

No xp\n   multiplier reaches that — the curve itself has to change.\n\n   Replaced (v2.x) with a plain geometric curve, `50 * 1.106 ^ lvl`, tuned so a\n   skill earning ~2 xp/tick reaches level 110 in about six months.\n\n   --- v4.2: the author's curve, where the author designed ------------------\n\n   Measured against the untouched game (tests/vanilla.mjs blocks mod.js and\n   runs the same code on both), that geometric curve was the single largest\n   departure from the original in the whole mod — and it was largest exactly\n   where the original was never broken:\n\n       level   original cost   geometric cost   the geometric curve was\n         5          1,003              83             12x faster\n        10         49,890             137            364x faster\n        15        823,099             227          3,600x faster\n\n   The author put perks on 22 skills, and every one of those ladders ends\n   between level 1 and 15 — ten or eleven for most. That is the range he\n   designed, and inside it the mod was letting a skill reach level 10 in a\n   hundredth of the time. It also doubled every skill's xp on top\n   (`MOD.skill_xp_mult: 2`), which the original does not.\n\n   So the curve is now in two parts:\n\n       levels 0 .. vanillaTo-1    EXACTLY the author's own formula\n       levels vanillaTo ..        geometric, continuing from his last level\n\n   and the geometric ratio is SOLVED, not chosen: it is whatever makes the whole\n   climb to 110 cost the same wall-clock time as the curve it replaced, at the\n   original's 1x multiplier. The end of the ladder is exactly as far away as it\n   was; what moved is where the time goes. The old curve front-loaded\n   everything — cap 60, the end of the author's content, in under an hour — and\n   then spent months on the last twenty levels.

Switching or starting a new game writes v0.3 and reloads the\n   page: the game reads its save once, from the load event, and has no notion\n   of unloading one.\n\n   Boot only adopts, never overwrites. If a slot mirror is missing, the\n   existing v0.3 becomes slot 1 — so an existing character is picked up rather\n   than orphaned. v0.3 is otherwise left alone, because it is the live truth\n   and a mirror can only ever be the same or staler.\n\n   The game's own \"delete the save\" button called localStorage.clear(), which\n   would take all three slots and the mod's settings with it.

UNRESTRICTED ACTIONS (opt-in)\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   One settings checkbox that does two things: lets sustained actions run at\n   the same time, and lets them start anywhere.\n\n   Both are off by default, because both are deliberate limits in the base\n   game. It is one shared timer and one `global.current_a` on purpose, and\n   every action's cond() is a designed restriction — Run refuses indoors,\n   Forage refuses in the dark. This is a comfort switch, not a fix.\n\n   --- how the game runs an action -------------------------------------------\n\n       activateAct(a)   global.current_a.deactivate(); a.activate();\n                        global.current_a = a\n       a.activate()     clearInterval(timers.actm);\n                        timers.actm = setInterval(() => this.use(), 1000)\n\n   So starting a second action stops the first, in two separate ways: the\n   explicit deactivate, and the shared `timers.actm` slot being overwritten.\n\n   --- what this does instead ------------------------------------------------\n\n   Rather than reimplement any of it, each action's own activate/deactivate is\n   wrapped and the timer SLOT is swapped around the call:\n\n       activate:    park whatever is in timers.actm, null the slot so the\n                    action's own clearInterval is a no-op, let it run and set\n                    timers.actm to its interval, move that onto the action,\n                    put the parked value back\n       deactivate:  put the action's own interval into the slot first, so the\n                    action's own clearInterval stops the right one\n\n   That works for the base game's Run and Investigate as written, and for the\n   mod's four, because all six use exactly the same clearInterval/setInterval\n   shape. Nothing about the timer handling is duplicated or guessed at.\n\n   Toggling an action off is the other half. The click handler reads\n\n       if(a.cond()===true && a.id!==global.current_a.id) activateAct(a)\n       else if(a.id===global.current_a.id) deactivateAct(global.current_a)\n\n   so only the most recent action can be clicked off. With conditions bypassed\n   the first branch always wins, so activateAct treats a click on an action\n   that is already running as \"stop it\" — which makes every row toggle again.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nMOD.free_key = 'p23_mod_freeactions';\n\nvar MOD_FREE = {\n  on: false,\n  maxErrors: 5      // an action whose tick keeps throwing is stopped, not spammed\n};\n\n(function () {\n  try {\n    var v = localStorage.getItem(MOD.free_key);\n    if (v !== null) MOD_FREE.on = (v === '1' || v === 'true');\n  } catch (e) { /* private mode */ }\n})();\n\n/* Every action the game has, plus any granted later.

PERKS FOR THE TOP HALF OF THE LADDER\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Section 19 made level 110 reachable. Nothing was waiting up there.\n\n   Measured across all 94 skills before this section:\n\n       25 skills   no milestones at all\n       12 skills   nothing past level 10\n       44 skills   nothing past level 50   (the mod's own tiers stop there)\n       13 skills   something past 50, and only 10 of those go past 60\n\n   So 81 of 94 skills gave nothing at all between 51 and 110 — the entire top\n   half of a ladder the seventh pass had just spent its effort making real.\n\n   --- one rule, applied everywhere ------------------------------------------\n\n   Every skill gets the ladder rungs it does not already have:\n\n       10, 25, 50, 60, 75, 90, 110\n\n   appended at every level strictly above its current highest milestone. That\n   is uniform, needs no per-skill list, and is always ascending — which the\n   save format requires, since \"granted\" flags are stored by array index and\n   `tests/audit.mjs` fails the build if the order breaks. A skill topping out\n   at 50 gains four perks; one already reaching 75 gains two; one with none\n   gains the whole ladder.\n\n   The rungs are the cap ladder's own (60/75/90/110 are four of its tiers), so\n   reaching a new story cap and pushing a skill into it pay off together.\n\n   --- relevant, not uniform -------------------------------------------------\n\n   What each perk DOES comes from the skill's own type, so a resistance skill\n   gets resistance and an absorption skill gets elemental defence rather than\n   everything getting the same stat:\n\n       1 combat      STR and critical damage\n       2 physical    STR and max HP\n       3 agility     AGL\n       4 mental      INT and EXP gain\n       5 crafting    INT and energy efficiency\n       6 resistance  its own damage type, off you.res, plus max HP\n       7 absorption  its own element, off you.caff, plus INT\n       0 gathering   Harvesting alone, typed 0 by the base game\n       8 gathering   STR, max energy, energy efficiency\n       9 upkeep      INT and energy efficiency\n      10 social      luck and EXP gain\n\n   Two things deliberately avoided:\n\n   `skl.<x>.p` is never touched. Skill xp multipliers are restored from the\n   save AFTER milestones fire, so a newly added perk that raised one would have\n   its work overwritten on the very load that first granted it, and `g` would\n   then be true forever. Stats are restored BEFORE milestones, which is why\n   everything else here is safe.\n\n   Absorption perks use `you.caff` rather than `you.res`.

TITLE RANKS, A TITLE PER SKILL TIER, AND WHAT THEY DO\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Three problems with titles as they stood.\n\n   RANK MEANT NOTHING. `rar` ran 0-5 and was assigned by feel, so the game\n   handed out rank 3 titles at skill level 8: Runner at Walking 10, Rookie at\n   Fighting 15, Dissector at Disassembly 8. Eight of them, all early.\n\n   THERE WERE TOO FEW. 120 titles across 93 skills, and 73 of those come from\n   story events rather than skills, so most skills granted none at all.\n\n   THEY DID ALMOST NOTHING. Four titles in the entire game carry a `talent`\n   (Walker, Jogger, and two others). The rest are pure flavour: the \"SELECT\n   YOUR TITLE\" window sets `you.title`, which is the name printed next to your\n   level and nothing else.\n\n   --- rank is derived now, not assigned ------------------------------------\n\n   A title's rank comes from the level at which it can first be earned:\n\n       rank   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10\n       level  1   8  18  30  45  58  70  82  90  110\n\n   Rank 10 therefore means level 110 and nothing else does. For the 47 titles\n   granted by a skill milestone the level is read straight out of the milestone\n   itself — `f.toString()` is scanned for a `giveTitle` call, so this stays\n   correct if a grant moves. The other 73 come from story events with no level\n   to read, so their author-assigned 0-5 is stretched onto the new scale\n   instead; that keeps the author's ordering and keeps ranks 9 and 10 meaning\n   \"level 110\", which is the point.\n\n   --- five per skill --------------------------------------------------------\n\n   Every skill grants a title at levels 25, 50, 75, 90 and 110 — ranks 3, 5, 7,\n   9 and 10 — which every skill has milestones for after section 22. 465 new\n   titles.\n   The grant is folded into the existing milestone at that level rather than\n   added as a new one, because two milestones at the same level would collide:\n   the save keys \"granted\" flags by array index and `tests/audit.mjs` rejects\n   duplicate levels.\n\n   Names are formulaic — a rank word chosen by skill type, then the skill.\n   With 372 of them generated, legible and consistent beats individually\n   crafted, and pretending otherwise would just make them hard to tell apart.\n\n   --- and they do something -------------------------------------------------\n\n   Each granted title raises its own skill's exp rate, in the spirit of the\n   handful the base game bothered to give a talent. That is `skl.<x>.p`, which\n   is restored from the save AFTER milestones fire — so it is emphatically NOT\n   set from milestone code. It is reconciled on the tick against a record of\n   what has already been applied, exactly the way section 13 handles `you.res`.\n\n   --- what \"wearing\" a title is for ----------------------------------------\n\n   Base-game talents were already permanent the moment the title was earned;\n   they never needed selecting. These new bonuses are the opposite by default:\n   only the title you are WEARING applies, which finally gives the selection\n   window a reason to exist.\n\n   Renown then buys that away. At renown level N, every title of rank N or\n   lower applies permanently whether worn or not, so renown 10 makes the whole\n   collection passive. The worn title always applies regardless of its rank.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* --- A. rank ------------------------------------------------------------- */\n\n/* Tuned so the five rungs a skill grants at land on distinct ranks — 25 -> 3,\n   50 -> 5, 75 -> 7, 90 -> 9, 110 -> 10 — and so the story titles stretched onto\n   this scale fill 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 between them.

Everything the game set up around it is untouched.\n\n   --- which skill a title belongs to ---------------------------------------\n\n   For the 465 generated ones, MOD_SKILL_TITLES already says.

TITLE COLOURS FOR TEN RANKS\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   The game already colours a title by rank, in the type 5 branch of dscr():\n\n       rar 0 grey   2 cyan   3 lime   4 yellow   5 orange   6 purple\n\n   with two problems that only became problems when section 24 started using\n   the upper ranks.\n\n   RANK 7 THROWS. Its branch sets `this.dl.style`, where every other branch\n   sets `this.label.style`. `this.dl` is assigned in the type 6 and 7 branches\n   of the same function, so in a type 5 call it is undefined and the tooltip\n   dies half-built — the name is placed, the description never is. The base\n   game topped out at rank 5, so the branch had never once run. There are now\n   93 titles at rank 7.\n\n   RANKS 1, 8, 9 AND 10 HAVE NO BRANCH, so 220 titles render with no colour at\n   all, including every rank 10 in the game.\n\n   Rather than patch the switch — it is inside a 200-line function that builds\n   six different tooltip layouts — the title's rank is parked at 1 for the\n   duration of the call, which is a value the switch has no branch for and so\n   cannot throw on, and the label is coloured afterwards from the full ten-rank\n   palette. The author's five colours are kept exactly where they are; the ramp\n   only extends past where they stopped.\n\n   The picker rows are coloured from the same table, which is the point of\n   having it: with five titles per skill, rank is the thing you are reading.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* index 1..10.

THE DOJO'S LEVEL ADVANCEMENT, CARRIED TO 110\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   The dojo already has a reward ladder, and the instructor already promises it\n   continues: \"After every 5 levels you reach, come here and receive your\n   share!\" It then stops at level 30.\n\n       dj1rw1  lv 5    25 coin, Low-grade Spirit Pill x5\n       dj1rw2  lv 10  100 coin, Mid-grade x2\n       dj1rw3  lv 15  200 coin, High-grade x1, gear\n       dj1rw4  lv 20  300 coin, a weapon\n       dj1rw5  lv 25  350 coin, an accessory\n       dj1rw6  lv 30  400 coin, food\n\n   Character level at the mod's endgame is around 92, so the instructor's\n   promise goes unkept for the last eighty levels. This adds the sixteen rungs\n   that finish it, 35 through 110, in fives.\n\n   --- the pills had to be rebuilt first ------------------------------------\n\n   Character exp per level is `4*lvl^3 + lvl^2`. At level 110 that is 5,336,100\n   for one level, and the game's best pill is worth 15,000 — 0.3% of it. The\n   ladder would have been handing out rounding errors. Four grades continue the\n   author's own progression at roughly his own ratio:\n\n       Superior       100,000     1/5 of a level at 50,  1/50 at 110\n       Refined        600,000     1.2 levels at 50\n       Sublime      3,500,000     2/3 of a level at 110\n       Transcendent 20,000,000    3.7 levels at 110\n\n   --- and a third grade of skillbook ---------------------------------------\n\n   The base game has two: the Practitioner Skillbooks the instructor offers the\n   first time you clear the dummies (+5%), and the named manuals after golem IV\n   (+15%). A third at +30% is offered as a CHOICE at the level 50, 75 and 100\n   rungs — the same shape as that first one, since that is the moment the\n   request pointed at.\n\n   These write `skl.<x>.p += rate` exactly as the base books do. That coexists\n   with section 24's title bonuses because the reconciler there only ever adds\n   and removes its own tracked delta, never assigns.\n\n   --- why a separate lobby entry -------------------------------------------\n\n   The base rungs are drawn by an anonymous click handler created inside\n   chss.t3.sl, so there is no way to append to that screen without replacing\n   the whole of sl(). The continuation is its own lobby entry instead, which\n   appears only once dj1rw6 is set, so the two never overlap and the original\n   is untouched.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* --- A. spirit pills ------------------------------------------------------ */\n\nvar MOD_PILLS = [\n  ['sp4', 4220, 'Superior Spirit Pill',      100000,\n   'A pill refined from properly cultivated ki, the kind a sect issues rather than sells.'],\n  ['sp5', 4221, 'Refined Spirit Pill',       600000,\n   'Dense enough that the ki has to be guided rather than simply swallowed.'],\n  ['sp6', 4222, 'Sublime Spirit Pill',      3500000,\n   'The work of an alchemist who has stopped making mistakes.

CULTIVATION REALMS\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   proto23 is already a cultivation game in its furniture — Qi Circulation,\n   spirit pills \"made from condensed Ki\", a dojo, meridians in the skill text —\n   without ever having the thing that genre is actually about: a realm you\n   advance through, a bottleneck that stops you, and a breakthrough that costs\n   something.\n\n   The ladder is the genre's extended one — a convention rather than any\n   particular author's invention, which is why every xianxia uses some version\n   of it. Ten stages, and the thresholds are NOT written out here: they are\n   MOD_RANK_AT, the same levels section 24 derives title ranks from. Realm 3 is\n   exactly the Qi Circulation level that earns a rank 3 title, and each realm's\n   own title lands at its own rank without being told to.\n\n       0  Mortal                      —\n       1  Qi Refining                 Qi Circulation 1\n       2  Foundation Establishment                   8\n       3  Core Formation                            18\n       4  Nascent Soul                              30\n       5  Spirit Severing                           45\n       6  Soul Transformation                       58\n       7  Void Refinement                           70\n       8  Body Integration                          82\n       9  Great Ascension                           90\n      10  Tribulation Transcendence                110\n\n   Deriving rather than restating means the two ladders cannot drift: retune\n   MOD_RANK_AT and the realms follow.\n\n   --- the bottleneck is the point ------------------------------------------\n\n   Reaching the level does NOT advance the realm. It puts you AT a bottleneck,\n   and breaking through costs a pill you have to have found or bought. That is\n   the whole shape of the genre: the wall, the resource, the attempt. Without\n   it a realm is just a second name for a level.\n\n   A failed attempt costs the pill and drops you to 1 HP but never kills — the\n   game has a death system with real consequences (`global.stat.deadt`, the\n   `ndthextr` title) and a breakthrough should not silently interact with it.\n\n   --- what a realm is worth -------------------------------------------------\n\n   Each realm multiplies every stat, compounding, and widens what your body can\n   hold: max HP and max energy scale with it too. The numbers are deliberately\n   large — this is the axis the genre cares about, and section 8's enemy model\n   measures the player rather than assuming a curve, so a big jump is absorbed\n   as tougher enemies rather than as a broken game.\n\n   Stored in `global.flags.mod_realm`, which is saved. The bonus is applied\n   through allbuff like every other multiplier, never written into `you.stra`\n   and friends, so it cannot compound across loads.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* One realm per title rank, at the same thresholds — DERIVED from MOD_RANK_AT\n   rather than restated, so the two ladders cannot drift apart.

ELEMENTAL MASTERY\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   The game has six Absorption skills — Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light, Dark —\n   and they are entirely defensive: they train when you are hit by that element\n   and reduce what it does to you. There is no way to USE an element. For a\n   game with meridians in its skill descriptions that is a conspicuous hole.\n\n   Six Mastery skills fill it, one per element, each paired with the Absorption\n   it shares a channel with.\n\n   --- how a technique lands ------------------------------------------------\n\n   Combat is automatic — `fght` calls `battle_ai`, there is no per-turn ability\n   picker to hang a spell button on. So a technique is a PROC: `you.battle_ai`\n   is wrapped, and each swing has a chance to come out as a technique instead\n   of a weapon blow.\n\n   That chance is the mastery level and the realm together, and it is capped\n   well under 1 so a weapon never becomes decoration.\n\n   The technique itself is an `Ability` with `stt: 2` and `aff` set to its\n   element, which routes it through the INT branch of dmg_calc — so it scales\n   with INT, with `you.aff[element]`, and with the elemental defence of what\n   you are hitting, rather than with STR and your weapon. It is a genuinely\n   different attack, not a reskinned one.\n\n   --- gated on the realm ---------------------------------------------------\n\n   Nothing procs at Mortal. You cannot throw fire before your channels are\n   open, which is both the genre's rule and a reason for section 28 to matter\n   in combat rather than only on the character sheet.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* element index as dmg_calc's own switch uses it:\n   1 air, 2 earth, 3 fire, 4 water, 5 light, 6 dark */\nvar MOD_ELEMENTS = [\n  ['fire',  'Fire Mastery',  3, 'abf', 2001, 'Lantern Splitting Palm',\n   'Heat with somewhere to be', 'orangered'],\n  ['water', 'Water Mastery', 4, 'abw', 2002, 'Still Water Draw',\n   'Water does not hurry and does not stop', 'deepskyblue'],\n  ['air',   'Air Mastery',   1, 'aba', 2003, 'Hollow Gale',\n   'The space a blow travels through, turned against it', 'lightcyan'],\n  ['earth', 'Earth Mastery', 2, 'abe', 2004, 'Settling Weight',\n   'Everything is heavier than it wants to be', 'sandybrown'],\n  ['light', 'Light Mastery', 5, 'abl', 2005, 'Noon Without Shade',\n   'Light with nothing merciful in it', 'lightyellow'],\n  ['dark',  'Dark Mastery',  6, 'abd', 2006, 'Lamp Going Out',\n   'What is left when the light is taken away', 'mediumpurple']\n];\n\n/* fire is off the arithmetic on purpose — see the note where it is used */\nvar MOD_ELEM_IDS = { fire: 2016, water: 2011, air: 2012,\n                     earth: 2013, light: 2014, dark: 2015 };\n\nvar MOD_MASTERY = [];      // {key, skill, elem, techKey}\n\nMOD_ELEMENTS.forEach(function (e, i) {\n  var key = e[0], label = e[1], elem = e[2], absorb = e[3],\n      id = e[4], techName = e[5], flavour = e[6], colour = e[7];\n\n  var sk = new Skill();\n  /* Ids are the save's key for a skill, so these are listed rather than\n     computed. `2010 + i` looked clear and was not: section 11 numbers the\n     parent skills `2000 + section`, and section 10 (Companions) is 2010 —\n     exactly what Fire Mastery took.\n\n     A skill id is matched in a loop with no `break`, so one shared id pushes\n     BOTH skills onto the sheet for BOTH saved entries.

TWO PLACES\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   The mod had added systems and no world. This adds the two places the game\n   itself was already pointing at.\n\n   --- the catacombs, which were finished and unreachable -------------------\n\n   26 locations exist, fully written, with their own ambient text table and a\n   bestiary entry for the ghouls that says they live there. Nothing links in:\n   `grep catamn` returns its definition, its own handler, and one\n   `smove(chss.catamn)` from INSIDE cata1 going back. Its own exit leads to the\n   Village Center, which is where the entrance was always meant to be.\n\n   So the entrance is one `chs()` on the Village Center — the same trick the\n   Old Path trailhead uses. Nothing here is written by the mod; it opens the\n   author's own rooms.\n\n   It has to be GATED, though, and not for flavour. Visiting sets `mod_t_cata`,\n   which is the cap-40 rung in MOD_TIERS — the rung that has been dead all\n   along because nothing could reach it. Open the door to a fresh character and\n   they take cap 40 straight out of the tutorial, past the forest's 20 and the\n   deep forest's 30. Gated on `mod_t_deep` instead, so the ladder keeps its\n   order: forest 20 -> deep forest 30 -> catacombs 40 -> arena 50.\n\n   --- the Pill Tower, which the author started and commented out -----------\n\n   On the Village Center, in the author's own file:\n\n       //  chs('\"=> Visit Pill Tower\"',false).addEventListener('click',()=>{\n       //    smove(chss.pltwr1);\n       //  });\n\n   The choice was written and commented away; `chss.pltwr1` was never built.\n   An alchemists' tower is exactly what a cultivation game wants and exactly\n   what this mod was missing, so this builds it rather than inventing a\n   different shopfront.\n\n   The location is `chss.mod_pltwr`, not `chss.pltwr1` — if the author ever\n   finishes theirs, the two must not collide.\n\n   Gated on having a realm: they do not let mortals past the door. That gives\n   the realm ladder somewhere to be visible in the world rather than only on\n   the character sheet, and it is the genre's own snobbery.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* --- A. the catacombs entrance -------------------------------------------- */\n\nMOD.cata_gate = 'mod_t_deep';       // cap 30 — see the header for why\n\nvar MOD_lsmain1_original_sl = chss.lsmain1.sl;\n\nchss.lsmain1.sl = function () {\n  MOD_lsmain1_original_sl.apply(this, arguments);\n  try {\n    /* Every chs() here passes false. chs(txt, true) calls clr_chs() and would\n       wipe the Village Center that was just drawn. */\n    if (global.flags[MOD.cata_gate] === true) {\n      chs('\"=> Enter the Catacombs\"', false, 'darkgrey').addEventListener('click', function () {\n        smove(chss.catamn);\n      });\n    }\n    if (MOD_realm().n >= 1) {\n      chs('\"=> Visit the Pill Tower\"', false, 'plum').addEventListener('click', function () {\n        smove(chss.mod_pltwr);\n      });\n    }\n  } catch (e) {\n    console.warn('[mod] village center additions failed: ' + e.message);\n  }\n};\n\n/* --- B. the Pill Tower ---------------------------------------------------- */\n\n/* Its own vendor: the grades a village herbalist cannot source.

GETTING INTO THE MARKETPLACE\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   The marketplace was unreachable, and the mod is what made it so.\n\n   The base game's chain is: finish at the dojo (`dj1end`), then a Paper Boy\n   turns up at the Village Center at 40% a visit and hands you a \"Pamphlet\",\n   then you read it for three hours and `mkplc1u` opens the door. Exactly one\n   item in the game sets that flag, and `pmfspmkm1` — set the moment the\n   Pamphlet is *given*, not when it is read — retires the Paper Boy for good.\n\n   Section 15 added selling. Nothing marked the Pamphlet as a key item, so it\n   could be sold at the food stand, outside the marketplace, before ever being\n   read. Sell it and the marketplace, the Grocery, the General Store, the\n   Herbalist, the guard-duty quest and — because the Herbalist stocks the\n   breakthrough pills for realms 2-5 — most of the cultivation ladder are gone\n   permanently, with nothing in the game able to give them back.\n\n   Three parts, in the order they matter:\n\n     A. Key items cannot be sold. Derived, not listed: the game's own source is\n        scanned for flags it ever sets back to false, and any item that sets a\n        flag it never clears is a key item.\n     B. The Paper Boy comes back if you no longer have a Pamphlet. This is what\n        un-sticks a save that is already in the hole, without a console.\n     C.

REPAIRING A SHEET THAT ALREADY HAS DUPLICATES\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Section 29 gave Fire Mastery id 2010, which section 11 had already given the\n   Companions parent. The game's loader matches a saved entry to a skill with\n\n       for (a in a6) for (b in skl) if (a6[a].id === skl[b].id) you.skls.push(skl[b])\n\n   and no `break`. One shared id therefore pushes both skills for both entries,\n   the next save writes all of them, and the count doubles every cycle:\n   1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32... A character who has played for a week has a hundred of\n   each, and the skill panel renders one row per entry.\n\n   The id is fixed, but that only stops it getting worse. The duplicates are IN\n   the save — `a6` still has a hundred entries — so they come back on every load\n   until something removes them. This does, once, by identity: `you.skls` is a\n   list of references to the objects in `skl`, so the same skill appearing twice\n   is always a bug, whatever caused it.\n\n   Deliberately not limited to the two skills that collided. This repairs the\n   damage rather than the cause, and it is worth having as a standing guard —\n   the panel's per-row updater reads fixed child indices against `you.skls`, so\n   a duplicated row is not merely cosmetic.\n\n   --- and the same shape again, in `global.titles` --------------------------\n\n   `giveTitle` pushes every earned title onto TWO arrays:\n\n       global.titles.push(title); if (title.id !== 0) global.titlese.push(title);\n\n   and `load()` rebuilds `global.titles` from the save BY INDEX and then appends\n   the whole of `global.titlese` on top of it:\n\n       for (ttlid ...) global.titles[ttlid] = ttl[obj];\n       for (obj in global.titlese) global.titles.push(global.titlese[obj]);\n\n   Every title earned this session is therefore already in the rebuilt array\n   AND appended again. Measured on a character holding 241 titles: 241 before a\n   load, 481 after, 241 distinct. It does not compound — the second load finds\n   `titlese` empty — but one load is enough, and `save()` writes the inflated\n   array straight back out.\n\n   A base-game bug, but the mod is what makes it loud: vanilla hands out around\n   a hundred titles and section 24 grants five per skill, so the doubling is\n   hundreds of rows. Both the game's own title screen and the mod's grouped\n   picker iterate `global.titles`, so every title is listed twice after any\n   load.\n\n   Fixed the same way as the skill sheet, and for the same reason: `global.titles`\n   holds references to the objects in `ttl`, so the same object appearing twice\n   is always wrong whatever put it there. Not fixed at the source — `titlese` is\n   the author's mechanism and the mod has no business changing what it means.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nfunction MOD_dedupeSkills(why) {\n  try {\n    if (!you || !you.skls || !you.skls.length) return 0;\n    var seen = [], out = [], dropped = 0, i;\n    for (i = 0; i < you.skls.length; i++) {\n      var s = you.skls[i];\n      if (!s) { dropped++; continue; }\n      if (seen.indexOf(s) !== -1) { dropped++; continue; }\n      seen.push(s); out.push(s);\n    }\n    if (!dropped) return 0;\n    /* In place: the panel and the save both hold this array. */\n    you.skls.length = 0;\n    for (i = 0; i < out.length; i++) you.skls.push(out[i]);\n    console.log('[mod] skill sheet repaired' + (why ?

THE RANK LADDER\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   `you.rank()` is the base game's Power rank — the number under the portrait,\n   tooltip \"Your power position in this realm. The lower the number the\n   stronger you are\". It is DERIVED, never stored (index.html, the You\n   constructor):\n\n       rank = ceil( 5e13 * sqrt((agl+str+int+spd/lvl) * 512 / (luck*.1+1))\n                    / (agl+str+weapon+spd+int)^2 )\n\n   so it falls as roughly S^-1.5 in the stat scale S, and Math.ceil floors it\n   at 1. Rank 1 is a real destination, not an asymptote.\n\n   --- is rank 1 reachable? measured, not guessed ----------------------------\n\n   Built the character the way the balance scripts do — every skill at the tier\n   cap, every milestone fired, character level driven through the game's own\n   lvlup — and read you.rank() at each rung of the story ladder:\n\n       tier 0   char lv   5   cap  10    STR 578        rank 21,617,349,975\n       tier 3   char lv  30   cap  30    STR 87,641     rank 17,143,237\n       tier 5   char lv  55   cap  50    STR 3.4e6      rank 65,544\n       tier 7   char lv  85   cap  75    STR 1.1e8      rank 258\n       tier 8   char lv 100   cap  90    STR 5.3e8      rank 20\n       tier 9   char lv 110   cap 110    STR 2.8e9      rank 1-2\n\n   and holding everything else at the top while sweeping skill level:\n\n       all skills 90 -> rank 18       all skills 105 -> rank 4\n       all skills 95 -> rank 11       all skills 108 -> rank 3\n       all skills 100 -> rank 7       all skills 110 -> rank 1\n\n   So yes — rank 1 IS reachable, but only by taking EVERY skill to 110. At 108\n   across the board you are still rank 3. Ranks 1-10 all live inside the last\n   fifteen skill levels, after an entire game in which the number is an\n   unreadable ten-digit blob. Technically reachable, practically invisible, and\n   earned by a spreadsheet rather than by anything that happens in the world.\n\n   --- what this adds --------------------------------------------------------\n\n   A second way to hold a rank: take it off whoever is holding it.\n\n   Ten ranked challengers, 10 down to 1, in a hall past the Old Path. The\n   ladder is strictly ordered — rank N opens only when rank N+1 has been taken\n   — and each rung also wants a character level, so the ten fights span the\n   endgame instead of being a single evening. Winning rung N writes\n   `global.flags.mod_rank = N`.\n\n   --- how the rank is awarded, and why it is a wrapper ----------------------\n\n   `you.rank` is a FUNCTION on the You instance, recomputed from live stats\n   every time `dom.d6.update` asks. There is no field to write. So the rank is\n   held in `global.flags` (saved, like `mod_realm`) and `you.rank` is wrapped\n   to return the better of the two:\n\n       held rank 6, stats say 900   ->  6      the ladder carries you\n       held rank 6, stats say 2     ->  2      your own power has passed it\n\n   It only ever floors, never caps, and nothing is written into a stat — so\n   there is no delta to track and nothing compounds on load, which is the trap\n   `you.res` and `skl.p` both fell into. `you = new You()` runs once at game\n   init and `load()` restores fields into it rather than replacing it, so the\n   wrapper survives a load.\n\n   --- difficulty, and why it is not simply \"harder\" -------------------------\n\n   Each duel is a protected one-creature area, so MOD_scaleEnemy already treats\n   it as an arena boss and anchors it to the player's power at spawn. On top of\n   that each rung takes a step up — but the step goes almost entirely into\n   FIGHT LENGTH, not into incoming damage, and the margin is then re-derived\n   rather than hoped for:\n\n       killT * step, and dieT floored at killT * 1.25\n\n   Scaling both targets in opposite directions is what would break `kill < die`\n   (margin 1.5 divided by step^1.5 is under 1.2 by step 1.16 alone). Reading\n   back the targets MOD_scaleEnemy stored on the spawn and re-asserting the\n   guarantee keeps every rung winnable at every tier, which tests/ranks.mjs and\n   tests/allareas.mjs both check.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\n/* --- A. the ten challengers ------------------------------------------------\n   `rnk` is the monster danger grade (global.text.eranks), NOT the ladder rank —\n   two different systems that happen to share a word. Kept in 11-14 ('-D' to\n   '-C', above anything else in the game) deliberately: the base game's coin\n   drop uses `rand(lvl, lvl/4) ** (1 + rnk/5 << 0)`, so rnk 15 would push that\n   exponent from 3 to 4 and multiply an endgame drop by a hundred. The toughest\n   thing the author shipped (creature.kksh) sits at rnk 10 / exponent 3, and\n   these stay in the same bucket.\n   -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */\n\nvar MOD_RANK_STEP = 0.07;      // per rung above rank 10, into fight length\n/* Re-asserted kill<die headroom after the step. 1.25 until v4.3, and it was the\n   thinnest margin in the mod: the rank duels were the matchups that flipped to\n   kill > die whenever a damage estimate missed its crits.

THE CRAFTING LADDER, 2★ TO 5★\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   The question was whether anything above one star can be crafted. Measured\n   across all 62 recipes, by output rarity, and separately by whether any\n   `giveRcp` call anywhere in the game can actually hand the recipe over:\n\n       stars   recipes   obtainable\n         1★      44         35\n         2★      17          7\n         3★       1          0        <- rcp.trr, Trinity\n         4★       1          1        <- rcp.clrpin, Clover Pin\n         5★       0          0\n\n   So the literal answer is yes, narrowly: seven reachable recipes make 2★\n   things and one makes a 4★ accessory. But the tier above that is a single\n   recipe nothing can unlock, and 5★ has nothing at all. Crafting effectively\n   stops at two stars, and the one 4★ result is a Clover Pin you get for\n   holding seven clovers.\n\n   The same audit turned up a bigger base-game finding: **nineteen of the 62\n   recipes have no `giveRcp` anywhere** — test, trr, lnch1/2/3, orgs, ffsh1/2,\n   fnori, cbun1, sshl, hpck, steak, cnmnb, brth, eggsp, crmchd, msoop, jln4.\n   They are defined, priced and complete, and nothing in the game can teach\n   them. Left alone, like area.clg and the unfinished titles: reported rather\n   than quietly wired up, because which of them the author meant to gate and\n   which he forgot is not the mod's call to make.\n\n   --- what this adds --------------------------------------------------------\n\n   A four-rung ladder, one rung per star from 2 to 5, each rung a full set:\n\n       weapon   body armour   shield   accessory   tonic\n\n   twenty craftable things, built from twelve gathered materials along three\n   lines — ore for the metal, weave for the cloth, essence for everything that\n   is not either — and gathered at four resource nodes that open with the\n   story. Each rung consumes the rung below it, so the ladder is a ladder and\n   not four unrelated shopping lists.\n\n   --- the constraints this had to fit --------------------------------------\n\n   * **Ids are blocked by namespace.** `load()` resolves a saved item id back\n     to its namespace with `itemgroup[(id+1)/10000<<0]`, itemgroup being\n     `[item, wpn, eqp, sld, acc]`. An id in the wrong block restores as the\n     wrong object or not at all, so: items 9200+, weapons 10101+, armour\n     20101+, shields 30101+, accessories 40101+. All clear of the base game's\n     maxima (9129 / 10058 / 20031 / 30017 / 40089) and checked by ids.mjs.\n   * **`rar` cannot exceed 6.** `equip()` does\n     `w.wc = global.text.wecs[w.rar][0]`, and `wecs` has seven entries.

RAW MEAT, AND THE HUNTER'S QUEST\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   `quest.hnt1` — Head Hunter Yamato's — wants **ten Raw Meat held at once**,\n   and Raw Meat rots. Both halves of that matter, because the mod changed one\n   of them by accident.\n\n   --- what the mod did to it -----------------------------------------------\n\n   Nothing touches `creature.rbt1.drop`. What changed is how long a rabbit\n   takes to kill. `MOD_ENEMY.kill` targets eight LANDED swings for an average\n   spawn, and measured at the point the quest is offered — character level 8,\n   cap 15, in the first Western forest hunting area — a Wild Rabbit now has\n   3,574 HP against the base game's 93. Your swing does ~357, so a rabbit that\n   died in one hit vanilla now takes ten (tests/fightsmoke.mjs medians the same\n   area at seven).\n\n   Ten times the kill time is ten times less meat an hour, and the meat is on a\n   clock:\n\n       item.rwmt1.rot = [.25, .45, .1, .2]\n\n   `planner.chkrot` runs once per in-game day and adds `randf(rot[0], rot[1])`\n   to `rottil`, divided by a season modifier — 0.5 in summer, which makes it\n   go off TWICE as fast, and 2.5 in winter. When `rottil` passes 1 you lose\n   `amount * randf(rot[2], rot[3]) + 1` pieces.\n\n   So the stock converges rather than accumulating. With a gain of `g` meat a\n   day and a rot event every `c` days, the steady state is\n\n       A = (g*c - 1) / 0.15\n\n   and the quest needs A >= 10 with something to spare, because the player has\n   to be HOLDING ten at one moment.\n\n   --- the numbers ----------------------------------------------------------\n\n   At 6%, in the first hunting area (rabbits are 20% of spawns there), taking a\n   conservative fifteen seconds an end-to-end kill rather than the seven the\n   smoke test measures in combat alone:\n\n       96 kills/day * 0.20 * 0.06  =  1.15 meat/day\n       normal  rot every 2.9 days  ->  A = 15.6     scrapes it\n       summer  rot every 1.4 days  ->  A =  4.3     CANNOT REACH TEN\n       winter  rot every 7.1 days  ->  A = 51       fine\n\n   A quest that is completable in three seasons and not in the fourth is not a\n   difficulty choice, it is a bug — and it is the mod's bug, since vanilla kill\n   times put summer comfortably clear.\n\n   --- the fix ---------------------------------------------------------------\n\n   Raise the drop, solved backwards from the requirement rather than picked:\n   aim for a steady state of 25 in the WORST season and the FIRST area, so the\n   player is holding twice what the quest asks and is not racing the rot.\n\n       need A = 25 in summer  ->  loss per cycle 0.15*25 + 1   = 4.75\n       over a 1.43-day cycle                                   = 3.32 meat/day\n       over 96 kills/day                                       = 3.46% per kill\n       through a 20% rabbit share                              = 17.3% per drop\n\n   Rounded to 18%.

Ten transactions across a game that runs for months.\n\n   This section is sourced rather than invented. Wuxiaworld's \"General Glossary\n   of Terms in Wuxia, Xianxia & Xuanhuan Novels\" is the genre's own reference\n   work, and it describes the machinery this mod was missing by name. Where a\n   piece below has a Chinese term beside it, the term and the idea come from\n   that glossary — paraphrased here, not quoted; the numbers are ours.\n\n       Spiritual Root      灵根    innate talent, tested, occasionally rare\n       Layers              层      nine to a stage, and stage words besides\n       Insight             参悟    understanding, needed to advance a stage\n       Closed Door         闭关    seclusion, specifically to break a bottleneck\n       Internal Demons     心魔    the mental barrier at the wall\n       Qi Deviation        走火入魔 what failing it does to you\n       Impurities          杂质    what a body expels on the way up\n       Heavenly Tribulation 天劫   the Heavens object to your progress\n\n   The glossary's entry on bottlenecks is the whole design brief: to break\n   through one, a cultivator may need new insight, a medicinal pill, or harsher\n   training.\n\n   Three routes. The mod shipped with one of them — the pill — which is why a\n   bottleneck was a shopping trip. All three are here now: insight is earned,\n   the pill is bought, and the harsher training is an action you sit in.\n\n   --- where the story goes --------------------------------------------------\n\n   The macro arc is read off the same shelf. Two of the genre's canonical long\n   works, both on Wuxiaworld, divide into books like this:\n\n       I Shall Seal the Heavens     one sect -> one domain -> reputation ->\n                                    death and rebirth -> fame -> leaving the\n                                    plane -> a realm of your own -> the peak\n       A Will Eternal               one sect -> an alias in a rival sect ->\n                                    a sect of your own -> the wider world ->\n                                    the peak -> the immortal domains\n\n   The shape both share: ONE SECT, then ONE REGION, then THE WORLD, then YOUR\n   OWN, then ABOVE IT. proto23 already owns the first and the last of those —\n   the dojo is a sect in everything but name, and section 34's Hall of the First\n   Gate is the regional ranking tournament the middle books are built around.\n   MOD-NOTES.md records the rungs that are still missing (disciple grades, the\n   sect's own contribution currency, a secret realm) and why each one waits.\n   This section builds the spine they would hang from.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nvar MOD_CULT = {\n  /* Nine layers to a stage, per the glossary — the first is the start and the\n     ninth the peak.

SKILL RARITY, AND THE CONVERGENCE\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Two problems, one answer.\n\n   The first is that the skill list is too long to read. A hundred skills, and\n   Daily Life alone holds twenty-five of them. Section 11 grouped them and\n   section 13 made the groups collapse, which helps, but the list only ever\n   grows.\n\n   The second is that nothing on the sheet says which of a hundred skills is\n   worth anything.\n\n   --- rarity, derived like everything else ----------------------------------\n\n   A skill's rarity is the RANK OF THE LEVEL YOU HAVE TAKEN IT TO, through the\n   same `MOD_rankForLevel` that ranks titles, against the same `MOD_RANK_AT`\n   thresholds, painted with the same ten `MOD_RANK_COLOUR` entries. So a skill\n   at 110 is rank 10 and white-hot, and a skill at 3 is rank 1 and grey.\n\n   Deriving it rather than hand-assigning a rarity per skill is not just the\n   house style — a static rarity would be a hundred more numbers to keep in step\n   with a ladder that moves, and it would say nothing about YOUR character. The\n   base game already made this mistake in the other direction: it handed out a\n   rank 3 title at skill level 8.\n\n   The colour goes on the row's name element, not into the name. The game's\n   per-second updater rewrites `children[0].innerHTML` every tick, which would\n   wipe any markup — but it never touches that element's own inline style, so a\n   colour set once survives. Names are a primary key and are not to be\n   decorated (section 4's note on `skl.frg`).\n\n   --- convergence -----------------------------------------------------------\n\n   A Jade Slip (玉简) is the genre's own object for this, and it comes off the\n   same shelf section 38 was built from: the glossary describes it as a strip of\n   jade that holds knowledge a cultivator stores in it, for another to take\n   straight into their own mind.\n\n   So: spend a slip to FOLD a skill into its section's converged skill. Fold\n   every skill in a section and that section is one line on your sheet instead\n   of twenty-five — a skill that stands for the whole of it.\n\n   --- what folding does NOT do, and why that is the point -------------------\n\n   Folding does not remove anything from `you.skls`. It marks the skill in\n   `global.flags.mod_folded` and section 13's renderSkl wrapper HIDES the row,\n   the same branch that already hides a collapsed group or a maxed-out skill.\n\n   That is a deliberate choice against the obvious implementation, because\n   shortening `you.skls` breaks three things at once:\n\n     * the game's panel only rebuilds when the list GROWS\n       (`let sklsize=you.skls.length; ... if(sklsize<you.skls.length)`), so a\n       shrink leaves orphaned rows displayed forever;\n     * `giveSkExp` pushes a skill back into `you.skls` on its next level-up\n       (`if(!scanbyid(you.skls,skl.id)) you.skls.push(skl)`) — complete with a\n       \"New Skill Unlocked!\" banner — so a fold would undo itself;\n     * and the save stores `you.skls` by id, so anything removed would have to\n       be re-derived on load rather than simply restored.\n\n   Hiding sidesteps all three. Nothing mechanical changes at all: a folded skill\n   keeps its level, keeps earning exp, keeps its milestones, and keeps applying\n   every buff it ever applied — the mod's allbuff wrappers walk `skl` by key,\n   never `you.skls`, so `you.skls` was only ever the display list. \"All of the\n   buffs\" is therefore literally true rather than re-implemented, which is the\n   only version of this feature that cannot quietly cost you a stat.\n\n   What convergence adds on top is a bonus for having done it, applied in\n   allbuff like every other multiplier and never written into a stat field.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nvar MOD_CONV = {\n  /* One slip per skill folded.

HOW BIG NUMBERS ARE WRITTEN\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   The mod's numbers are enormous next to the original's — STR in the millions,\n   max HP in the hundreds of thousands, a Power rank the author himself prints\n   as a ten-digit blob. None of that is a balance problem: section 8 scales\n   every enemy to the player, so a fight takes the same eight swings at STR 50\n   or STR 5,000,000. But it READS like one, and the stat panel makes it worse by\n   printing a raw `Math.round` with no grouping at all.\n\n   Four ways to write them, picked in settings:\n\n       game      exactly as the original draws them\n       short     12.3K, 4.56M, 7.89B  — the author's own suffix list\n       sci       1.23e7\n       myriad    1234万, 5.6亿        — groups of ten thousand\n\n   Myriads are not decoration. The author already counts money that way: his\n   wallet (m_update) steps at 10^8 — `㊧` = you.wealth / 100000000 — with groups\n   of 10^4 beneath it, which is 亿 and 万. That is his notation, carried to the\n   rest of the sheet.\n\n   --- the threshold is his, too --------------------------------------------\n\n   `printDamageNumber` does\n\n       if(ddmg>9999) formatw(ddmg);\n\n   and throws the result away — it plainly meant `ddmg = formatw(ddmg)`, so\n   every hit over 9,999 has been printing raw. That line is the author telling\n   us where he wanted compaction to start. Every format here prints a number up\n   to 9,999 EXACTLY as the original does, commas where he used commas and bare\n   where he left them bare, and only compacts above it.

That placement is an\n   inference, not his; everything else — the creatures, their levels, the size\n   of 33, the `q1lwn` flag — is exactly as he wrote it.\n\n   --- the titles -------------------------------------------------------------\n\n   Of the five unfinished titles, four have their intent written down:\n\n       shpt2 / shpt3   his checks are in the code, commented out, at 5,000 and\n                       10,000 purchases. After his \"Third-Rate Shopper\" they\n                       are Second- and First-Rate: the jianghu's own grading of\n                       fighters, 三流 / 二流 / 一流, which is the joke he was\n                       making in the first place.\n       mone2 / mone3   named \"Peasant\" and blank, with ranks 2 and 3 set and\n                       their checks commented out — at GOLD, the same threshold\n                       as the first rung, which is plainly a placeholder. His\n                       other ladders step by five to ten, so these are 10 and\n                       100 gold, after 1.\n\n   `ttl.ddcd` is the fifth, and it is left alone. Its name and description are\n   the literal string \"null\", nothing grants it, and nothing near it says what it\n   was for — the obvious guess (the missing first rung of the stay-at-home\n   ladder) is wrong, because that rung exists as `ttl.neet`.

ON THE SCREEN: REALM, BREAKTHROUGH, AND RARITY YOU CAN READ\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Four small things that were only reachable through the console or the wiki.\n\n   --- the realm, on the rank line -------------------------------------------\n\n   The player panel is a fixed 310px box and it is full — 307px used, and its\n   last line (critical chance) already hangs past the bottom. So nothing new\n   gets a line of its own. The rank line has room: 430px wide, centred, holding\n   \"rank: 135T\". The realm goes on the end of it, kept to one line (nowrap +\n   ellipsis) so it can never push the panel taller, with the full detail in its\n   tooltip.\n\n   It is one persistent span rather than markup in the rank text: dom.d6.update\n   rewrites innerHTML on every call, which would recreate the span, and its\n   tooltip, each time. Re-appending the same node after each rewrite keeps its\n   listeners.\n\n   --- the breakthrough, from the same span -----------------------------------\n\n   At a bottleneck the realm reads \"½ step to …\" and the span becomes the button.\n   It finds the pill in the inventory and hands it to MOD_breakthrough, which\n   does every check it always did — insight, deviation, the odds, seclusion's\n   shelter, the tribulation. Nothing about the attempt changes; only where you\n   click. An emptied stack is removed the way the game does it (index.html:8893),\n   since this is not the inventory's own click handler.\n\n   --- rarity as text, and as a sort and a filter ----------------------------\n\n   Rarity was colour and nothing else, which says nothing to someone who cannot\n   tell #ff5fb0 from #ff3b3b. The skill tooltip now names it. The skill panel\n   gets a second row: sort by rarity, and show only a rarity and above — the\n   filter goes through section 13's hide branch, the one that already hides\n   maxed skills and folded ones, so section headers survive it the same way.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nvar MOD_HUD = { span: null, text: '' };\n\n/* The short form, for the rank line. */\nfunction MOD_hudRealmText() {\n  var r = MOD_realm(), next = MOD_REALMS[r.n + 1];\n  var t;\n  /* ASCII cue, not ▲: the game's font is MS Gothic, and where it is missing a\n     symbol falls back to a font whose line box is 1px taller — measured, it grew\n     the panel past its fixed 310px.

Each is a\n   single line inside a long function, so each is corrected from outside it —\n   wrapping, never editing — and each is corrected where the enemy model's probe\n   will see it too (see Luck).\n\n   --- Death: the skill that made dying worse --------------------------------\n\n   On death the game does\n\n       this.sat *= (.55 * (1 - skl.dth.use()))        // use() = level * 0.1\n\n   right after the Death skill has gained exp. Its description says it \"reduces\n   energy loss on death\"; the formula does the opposite. At level 0 you keep\n   55% of your energy, at level 10 you keep none, and from level 11 your energy\n   goes NEGATIVE. The mod's own tooltip has said so since v1.\n\n   Replaced with keep = 1 - 0.45 / (1 + use): 55% at level 0, exactly as before,\n   rising to 78% at 10 and 96% at 110 — always improving, never reaching 100%.\n   The death itself is detected by `global.stat.deadt` going up, because the\n   \"You avoid death...\" branch runs the same function without dying.\n\n   --- Shield Mastery: defence that became damage ----------------------------\n\n   The last bracket of the enemy's damage line multiplies your whole defence by\n\n       (100 - (shieldAff + targetCls * ta) * 5 * (1 + shdc / 20)) / 100\n\n   and at Shield Mastery 110 that `(1 + shdc/20)` is 6.5. With ordinary\n   affinities the bracket goes below zero, the defence term flips sign, and your\n   defence is ADDED to the damage you take. Every other bracket in that line is\n   `100 + ...`, so this may be a sign typo — but that is a guess about intent, so\n   the fix is the conservative one: the bracket is floored at zero. Defence can\n   fall to nothing; it can no longer hurt you.\n\n   Done by holding `skl.shdc.lvl`, for the length of one call, at the level\n   where the bracket is exactly zero. With the bracket at zero the whole defence\n   product is zero, so the shield-strength term that also reads the level does\n   not matter at that point.\n\n   --- Luck: a multiplier that never reached the roll ------------------------\n\n   dmg_calc declares `let b = you.luck/25 + 1` (physical) and `/20 + 1` (magic)\n   inside the player's own block, so the crit line — outside it — reads the\n   outer `b`, which is always 1. Luck has never touched damage.\n\n   The author's range is small: luck moves by 1-4 on a handful of events, so his\n   multiplier tops out around x1.4. This mod's perks grant luck on every social\n   skill, and at cap 110 a character holds 132-223 of it — which through his\n   formula is a 100% crit chance on every swing. So his formula is applied\n   exactly, but luck may only raise crit chance up to MOD_LUCK_CAP (50%). In his\n   range the cap never binds; at the top it keeps a crit a roll, not a certainty.\n\n   It goes in by rebinding MOD_dmg_calc_original, not by wrapping dmg_calc.\n   Section 8's probe and incoming-damage wrapper both call through that variable,\n   so enemies are sized against the player WITH luck — a wrapper outside it would\n   have let the player out-damage every target. The bonus rides on\n   `you.mods.crflt` for the one call, restored to its exact prior value\n   afterwards: `crflt` is saved, and add-then-subtract would leave float residue\n   on it a million swings later.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nvar MOD_LUCK_CAP = 0.5;\n\nfunction MOD_deathKeep(use) {\n  var u = Math.max(Number(use) || 0, 0);\n  return 1 - 0.45 / (1 + u);\n}\n\n/* How much the author's luck multiplier adds to the crit chance, given the\n   part of the chance it multiplies and the total without it. */\nfunction MOD_luckCritBonus(multiplied, total, stt) {\n  try {\n    var luck = MOD_fin(you.luck, 0);\n    if (!(luck > 0) || !(multiplied > 0)) return 0;\n    var b = luck / (stt === 2 ? 20 : 25) + 1;\n    var want = total + multiplied * (b - 1);\n    var ceiling = Math.max(MOD_LUCK_CAP, total);        // never lower than without luck\n    return Math.max(Math.min(want, ceiling) - total, 0);\n  } catch (e) { return 0; }\n}\n\n/* the level at which the shield bracket is exactly zero, or null if it is not\n   negative for this hit */\nfunction MOD_shieldFloorLevel(att) {\n  try {\n    var ta = effect.tarnish.active === true ? .7 : (effect.prostasia.active === true ? 1.3 : 1);\n    var A = MOD_fin(you.eqp[1] && you.eqp[1].aff ? you.eqp[1].aff[att.atype] : 0, 0);\n    var C = MOD_fin(global.target && global.target.cls ? global.target.cls[att.ctype] : 0, 0);\n    var S = (A + C * ta) * 5;\n    if (!(S > 0)) return null;\n    var L = skl.shdc.lvl;\n    if (100 - S * (1 + L / 20) >= 0) return null;\n    return 20 * (100 / S - 1);\n  } catch (e) { return null; }\n}\n\nvar MOD_dmg_calc_before_fixes = MOD_dmg_calc_original;\n\nMOD_dmg_calc_original = function (att, def, atk) {\n  var stt = atk && atk.stt;\n  var isYou = att && typeof you !== 'undefined' && att.id === you.id;\n  var hitsYou = def && typeof you !== 'undefined' && def.id === you.id && !isYou;\n\n  var keepCrflt, keepShdc, floorL = null;\n  try {\n    if (isYou && (stt === 1 || stt === 2)) {\n      var sat = you.satmax > 0 ? you.sat / you.satmax : 1;\n      var k = 2 - (sat + MOD_fin(you.mods.sbonus, 0)) * 2;\n      var crt = MOD_fin(att.crt, 0);\n      var c = skl.seye ?

FIGHTS AS THE AUTHOR WROTE THEM\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Section 8 exists to remove out-levelling: every spawn is solved against the\n   player so a fight takes ~8 swings to win and ~20 to lose, at any level. The\n   original has no such model. Its creatures are fixed, and at equal\n   progression its opening route is nearly free — `tests/vanilla.mjs` measures\n   a median of 1.3 swings to kill and ~18,700 to die. That is how he designed\n   it: you get stronger and the forest stops being dangerous.\n\n   Since v4.6 that is the default. With Fights on Original:\n\n     * a creature in one of the author's own areas is exactly the one mon_gen\n       and lvlup made — no HP, accuracy or damage scaling, his exp;\n     * his areas use his level ranges, not section 8's x1.4;\n     * Raw Meat drops at his 6%, because the 18% of section 36 only existed to\n       make up for the scaled kill times;\n     * the mod's own areas — the three past the golem arena and the ten rank\n       duels — are scaled exactly as before. There is no original of them to\n       match, and the ranks ladder depends on the model.\n\n   Scaled is section 8 everywhere, as every version before 4.6 played. The\n   \"Mod before 4.2\" pacing preset selects it.\n\n   The setting lives in localStorage, like the other settings boxes, and\n   applies from the next spawn. What the Original setting guarantees is\n   asserted by `tests/fights.mjs`: every spawn in the author's areas matches\n   the author's page stat for stat, and every area is winnable at the point\n   in the story you first reach it.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nfunction MOD_applyMeatDrops() {\n  try {\n    MOD_MEAT_DROPS.forEach(function (d) {\n      var mine = Math.max(d._modChance0 || 0, MOD_MEAT.chance);\n      d.chance = MOD_FIGHTS.mode === 'original' ? d._modChance0 : mine;\n    });\n  } catch (e) { /* never break a drop table */ }\n}\n\nfunction getFights() { return MOD_FIGHTS.mode; }\n\nfunction setFights(mode) {\n  if (mode !== 'original' && mode !== 'scaled') {\n    console.warn(\"[mod] setFights: 'original' or 'scaled'\");\n    return MOD_FIGHTS.mode;\n  }\n  MOD_FIGHTS.mode = mode;\n  MOD_applyAreaLevels();\n  MOD_applyMeatDrops();\n  try { localStorage.setItem(MOD_FIGHTS.key, mode); } catch (e) {}\n  if (typeof msg === 'function') {\n    msg('Fights: ' + (mode === 'original' ? \"the author's, in his areas\" : 'scaled to you everywhere') +\n        ' — from the next spawn', 'gold');\n  }\n  return mode;\n}\n\nfunction modFights() {\n  var orig = MOD_FIGHTS.mode === 'original';\n  var own = Object.keys(area).filter(function (k) {\n    return area[k] && area[k].pop && area[k].pop.length && !area[k]._modAuthor;\n  }).length;\n  var lines = [\n    'Fights: ' + (orig ?

EVERY CREATURE WAS HOLDING THE SAME WEAPON\n   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n   A Creature starts with `eqp = [eqp.dummy, eqp.dummy]`, one shared object, and\n   the author then wrote per-creature affinities straight onto it:\n\n       creature.bat.eqp[0].aff = [0,12,-10,0,0,-5,5];     (32 such lines)\n\n   So every creature (all 48, measured) held whichever creature was defined\n   last: aff [4,9,7,-12,12,0,0], cls [7,7,7]. Enemy damage reads exactly those\n   (`att.eqp[0].aff[att.atype]`, `.cls[att.ctype]`). Worse, the player's bare\n   fists ARE that object, and load() writes the player's level into it\n   (`cls[2] = lvl/4`, `aff[0] = lvl/5`), so a physical or blunt creature hit\n   harder the higher the player's level, unarmed or not.\n\n   Each creature now gets its own weapon and armour slot, and the values the\n   author wrote for it are read back from his source and applied. The player's\n   fists stay the original object. Same footing as section 46: three-line\n   corrections to his combat code, always on.\n   =========================================================================== */\n\nvar MOD_CREATURE_GEAR = (function () {\n  var fixed = 0, applied = 0, src = '';\n  function fresh() {\n    var o = Object.create(Object.getPrototypeOf(eqp.dummy));\n    for (var a in eqp.dummy) o[a] = eqp.dummy[a];\n    o.aff = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]; o.cls = [0, 0, 0]; o.eff = []; o.data = { dscv: false };\n    return o;\n  }\n  try {\n    for (var k in creature) {\n      var c = creature[k];\n      if (!c || !c.eqp) continue;\n      c.eqp = c.eqp.map(function (e) { if (e === eqp.dummy) { fixed++; return fresh(); } return e; });\n    }\n    src = MOD_gameSource();\n    var re = /creature\\.(\\w+)\\.eqp\\[(\\d)\\]\\.(aff|cls)\\s*=\\s*\\[([^\\]]*)\\]/g, m;\n    while ((m = re.exec(src))) {\n      var cr = creature[m[1]];\n      if (!cr || !cr.eqp || !cr.eqp[+m[2]] || cr.eqp[+m[2]] === eqp.dummy) continue;\n      cr.eqp[+m[2]][m[3]] = m[4].split(',').map(Number);\n      applied++;\n    }\n  } catch (e) { console.warn('[mod] creature gear: ' + e.message); }\n  return { slots: fixed, applied: applied };\n})();\n\n/* --- settings inside the save ----------------------------------------------- */\n\nMOD.settingsSeenKey = 'p23_mod_settings_seen';\nMOD.settingKeys = {\n  pacing: 'p23_mod_pacing', fights: MOD_FIGHTS.key, numfmt: MOD_NUM.key,\n  speed: MOD.speed_key, xp: MOD.xp_key, coin: MOD.coin_key, free: MOD.free_key,\n  minRar: MOD_UI.minRarKey, catchup: MOD.catchup_key\n};\n\nfunction MOD_settingsSnapshot() {\n  return { pacing: getPacing(), fights: getFights(), numfmt: MOD_NUM.mode, speed: getSpeed(),\n           xp: MOD.skill_xp_mult, coin: MOD_MONEY.chance, free: !!getFreeActions(),\n           minRar: MOD_UI.minRar, catchup: MOD_CATCHUP.maxSec };\n}\n\nfunction MOD_lsHas(k) { try { return localStorage.getItem(k) !== null; } catch (e) { return true; } }\n\n/* Take from the save only what this browser has not set.
