kronic 1b704ca0b9 Combat tuning: lift sluggish chasers toward kiteable band + snappier dash (research-backed)
Deep-research-backed ratios (GDKeys, gamedeveloper.com twin-stick study, Hades/RoR, critpoints i-frames):
enemies should sit ~0.5-0.85x of player move speed (kiteable but pressing), telegraphs >= ~250ms.

- Enemy move speed (on the RIGGED prefabs the directors actually spawn - verified the live ZoneEnemy/Wave
  rosters at runtime: Grunt=EnemyWerewolf, Charger=EnemyChargerMuscle, Spitter=EnemySpitter, Swarmer=
  EnemySwarmerUndead): Grunt 3.0->4.2 (0.70x base), Charger walk 2.6->3.0, Spitter 2.8->3.0. The 0.43-0.50x
  cluster was trivially out-walked by the 6.9 Ranger; lifted to credible pressure while still kiteable.
  Swarmer kept at 6.5 (intentional surround/rush). Telegraph windups unchanged (already research-aligned).
- Dash (live TuningConfig defaults): IFrameWindowTicks 12->14 (0.20->0.23s, covers a reacted telegraph),
  DashCooldownTicks 45->36 (0.75->0.60s, horde-kiter cadence). Dash distance/arc unchanged.

Play-verified the baked rosters: Grunt 4.2 / Charger 3 / Spitter 3 / Swarmer 6.5; dash 14/36. 390/390 EditMode.
All are live-tunable (dash) or one re-bake (enemy speeds). Investigation: wf_c6c87dc5-9c3 (tuning lane).

kronic a74b761363 Dev tool: switch player class (Warrior/Ranger) at runtime for testing
Editor-only class swap via the existing scalar dev-RPC family (new DebugOp.SetClass): F1/F2 keybind (ClassSwitchHotkeySystem), DebugOverlay '- Class -' buttons, and DebugCommandSendSystem.SetWarrior/SetRanger/SetClass statics. Server (DebugCommandReceiveSystem) swaps class in place on the spawned player: strips+re-seeds the ClassTraits StatModifier seeds, swaps the AbilityRef Fire slot, resets the ability cooldown, and heals a LIVING player to the new max (dead players skip the heal so respawn isn't raced). Server-authoritative + prediction-correct (same buffer-mutation path as GrantUpgrade); wire type unchanged so the RpcCollection hash is unaffected.

ClassTraits gains a shared Seeds core (spawn + swap can't drift), ClassSeedCount, IsClassSeed, a DynamicBuffer AppendSeeds overload, and Reapply. +3 EditMode tests (exact-count round-trip, value-equality fold, boundary/foreign-mod preservation); 351/351 green; Warrior<->Ranger round-trip Play-validated (server+client agree).

kronic 4f0b4e8087 END-2: final siege + latching win/lose (SL-3)
At GoalProgress.Charge>=Target a new server-only GoalReachedSystem arms a larger final siege (x live FinalSiegeMultiplier) and flips RunPhase=FinalDefense; CyclePhaseSystem latches a REPLICATED RunOutcome (Victory on clear / Loss on Core breach) and halts the director. RunOutcome is a [GhostField] byte on the global CycleDirector ghost (the client banner observes it); RunPhase stays server-only. ThreatDirector/CoreRestore/CoreDamage halt once decided; SiegeTimeout is off during the final siege. SaveData v5 persists the outcome so a won/lost run loads finished. GoalProgress.Target 10->4. Completes Path A's spine. See DR-036.

kronic 60e1e21dd3 END-1: the base can be lost - a losable Engine Core with integrity
Adds CoreIntegrity{[GhostField] Current,Max,OverrunTick} on the GLOBAL
CycleDirector ghost (no new ghost/relevancy). CoreDamageSystem (server,
after EnemyAISystem): a Husk within ~3u of PlotCenter drains + is consumed;
CoreRestoreSystem regenerates only in Calm. The SOFT-loss edge lives inside
CyclePhaseSystem (sole Phase writer): Current<=0 in Siege flips to Calm with
NO goal reward, StorageMath.DrainFraction drains the shared ledger, all Husks
despawn, and OverrunTick is stamped (a transient HUD-flash pulse, not a
latching outcome - the Victory latch is END-2's). EnemyAISystem treats the
Core as a FALLBACK target so an undefended base is overrun instead of idling.
SaveData -> v4 persists CoreCurrent (0 -> born full, the EB-1 HP sentinel);
3 live TuningConfig knobs + a red HUD Core bar. Soft-loss + targeting +
breach-resolution forks operator-locked.

See DR-034.

kronic 73cfe2943d EB-1: machines can die - structures get HP, Husks raze them, wounded base persists
Structures (Turret/Wall/Pylon) reuse the combat spine: authoring bakes Health(GhostField)+DamageEvent buffer+a Destructible tag (no HitRadius -> no friendly projectile fire; no EffectiveCharacterStats -> clamp-to-0). HealthApplyDamageSystem destroys a Destructible at 0 (occupancy auto-frees). EnemyAISystem fortress-targets the weighted-nearest of players+structures via the shared EnemyAIMath.PickWeightedNearest (StructureAggroWeight TuningConfig knob, <1 prefers structures, squared factor; snapshot above the early-return so an undefended base is razed). Persistence v3: per-structure HP threaded through 5 sites (SaveData/PendingStructure/scan-guarded/BaseRestore same-ECB born-correct/WorldLauncher via SaveApply.ToPending); SaveService floor-gate [2,3] loads old saves. Loss feedback: proximity-gated StructureFeedbackSystem; CombatFeedbackSystem suppressed for structures. Pre-code review caught the DamageEvent-buffer crash blocker + 8 majors; post-code review clean. See DR-032.

kronic 3409c53148 Combat: MC-4 combo-chain melee as the primary verb (DR-030)
Melee combo (left-click / pad-West) becomes the player's primary verb; the ranged projectile is demoted to right-click / pad-left-trigger. Predicted, owner-replicated combo Step (path-dependent -> [GhostField] anchor + absolute-write idempotency, NOT derived like the dash), server-only cleave mirroring ProjectileDamageSystem (SourceTick-stamped DamageEvent + KnockbackState), dash-cancellable movement-commit, 9 live TuningConfig knobs, and swing juice scaling with the combo step. The MC-6 archetype byte is deferred (the melee is its own verb). See DR-030.
