+- `src/game/rewards.js` — `materialSellPrice(rarity, level)` — item-level formula: `multiplier[rarity] * level`
+- `src/services/shopService.js` — `getStock()` and `sellItem()` now use `materialSellPrice`; `deleteRowExact` added for CHECK constraint fix
+- `tests/integration/step-10.14.test.js` — NEW: 7 integration tests (Rat Tail at 3 levels, Drake Scale at 2 levels, shop-listed = actual, multi-quantity sell)

 ## 4. Half-finished / fragile things
 - No leaderboard UI yet (stub page exists; real UI in 10.17).
 - No restart-persistence test for sessions.
 - `npm run seed` script in package.json points to nonexistent `scripts/seed.js`.
-- Starter gear not auto-created on character creation (10.13 next).
 - `GET /api/zones` documented in API.md but not implemented.
-- Material sell prices use hero-level formula; BALANCE.md says item-level formula (10.14).
 - Mobile nav uses emoji icons (⚔️ 🏕️ 🎒) — verify they render acceptably on all platforms.
+- Characters start with 50g default (DB constraint) — tests must account for this baseline.

 - **D-014:** Mobile bottom nav uses emoji icons (⚔️ Hunt / 🏕️ Trip / 🎒 Items) instead of full text labels.
 - **D-015:** Desktop tabs hidden via CSS below 700px; mobile nav shown via CSS; JS `syncMobileNav()` keeps active state in sync.
 - **D-016:** `applyXpGain` in `src/game/leveling.js` is the single shared function for XP gain logic, used by both `huntService` and `expeditionService`.
 - **D-017:** Landing page `public/index.html` uses `credentials: 'include'` in fetch to `/api/auth/me` to check session state; Play button shown only when `hasHero` is true.
 - **D-018:** Link-checker test skips API endpoints (`/api/...`) since they're not static files.
 - **D-019:** Rate limiters use `process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test' ? 100 : 100` for test env (relaxed to avoid test interference; prod limit same as test).
-- **D-020:** `allocatePoints` in `leveling.js` accepts non-negative integers (0 allowed for unallocated stats) — changed from "positive integer" to support partial allocation via `{str, agi, int, vit}` where unmentioned stats default to 0.

@@ -54,51 +50,42 @@
 - Verify test COUNT, not just "all passing".
 - Node.js `fetch` doesn't persist cookies across calls — extract `Set-Cookie` header and pass manually in integration tests.
 - SQL `SELECT id` from inventory returns the auto-increment row id; rename with `AS inventory_id` when you also need `item_id`.
-- Transaction callback args must match the call order exactly. (This is the 10.1 bug — double-check param/call order in every new transaction.)
+- Transaction callback args must match the call order exactly.
 - Error responses from route-level `AppError`s do NOT include `data` field.
 - `setNow` affects ALL `now()` calls including those in service logic.
 - Shop API returns `{ ok: true, data: { stock: [...], character: {...} } }` — field is `stock`, not `stocks`.
 - Shop stock items have flat fields (`itemId`, `buyPrice`), not nested (`item.id`).
-- New characters have NO inventory items (starter gear not auto-created yet).
+- New characters have starter gear (10.13) — tests must account for 2 baseline inventory rows.
+- Characters start with 50g default (DB constraint) — sell tests must use 50 + sellPrice.
 - `GET /api/zones` documented in API.md but not implemented.
 - Hero profile endpoint is PUBLIC — no `requireAuth` middleware.
 - Profile page is public: no auth.js guard needed; uses ?name= query param for lookup.
 - Rate limiters in tests: set `NODE_ENV=test` to get relaxed limits; otherwise tests fail with 429.
-- `seed-dev.js` must check `NODE_ENV=production` before any `require()` that loads config (config throws on placeholder SECRET).
-- Express `sendFile` rejects `../` path segments — use `path.resolve()` + `path.join()` for absolute paths.
+- `seed-dev.js` must check `NODE_ENV=production` before any `require()` that loads config.
+- Express `sendFile` rejects `../` path segments — use `path.resolve()` + `path.join()`.
 - `express.static` sends its own 404 responses; catch-all must be placed BEFORE static middleware.
-- Character profile GET returns `{ ok: true, data: { character, derived, energy } }` — fields nested under `character`, `derived`, `energy`.
+- Character profile GET returns `{ ok: true, data: { character, derived, energy } }`.
 - Register returns 201 (Created), not 200.
 - Character creation returns 201 (Created), not 200.
-- Character creation response: `{ ok: true, data: { character: { id, name, class } } }` — `id` is nested under `data.character`, NOT `data.id`.
-- Expedition start uses `defId` in request body (not `expeditionId`).
+- Character creation response: `{ ok: true, data: { character: { id, name, class } } }`.
+- Expedition start uses `defId` in request body.
 - Expedition claim uses `expeditionId` in request body.
-- Expedition start response returns `data.expedition.id` — capture this for claim.
-- `src/utils/time` exports `{ now, setNow, resetNow }` directly — `const time = require(...)`, not `const { time }`.
-- Inventory sell endpoint (`POST /api/shop/sell`) only accepts `material`-type items.
-- `handleListInventory` in `src/routes/inventory.js` — parameter name must be `res`, not `_res`.
-- Character profile response has `energy` at `data.energy.current`, NOT `data.character.energy`.
-- **10.3:** `expeditionService.js` import changed from `const { now, setNow } = require('../utils/time')` to `const time = require('../utils/time')` — the destructured `now` variable was shadowed by the local `opts.now ?? time.now()` pattern.
-- **10.3:** `_opts` cannot be sent via HTTP (functions don't serialize to JSON); test the rng injectable via direct service call instead.
-- **10.4:** `req.session.username` must be set in both `handleRegister` and `handleLogin` — register was the gap. `/me` reads it, so without it username is always empty string.
-- **10.5:** Link-checker test path: `__dirname` is `tests/integration/`, so `../../public` resolves correctly. API endpoints (`/api/...`) must be excluded since they're not static files.
-- **10.6:** Rate limiters add `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining` headers by default in express-rate-limit — use these to verify the limiter is real in tests.
-- **10.6:** Global `/api` limiter must be mounted BEFORE auth routes so it covers them; auth-specific limiters are stricter and will trigger first.
-- **10.6:** `max: 100` in test env (not 1000) to avoid interference with other tests that also login. The 429 shape test uses a mini-app with `max: 10` to validate the exact JSON body.
-- **10.7:** Express JSON parser throws `SyntaxError` with `status: 400` for malformed JSON and `PayloadTooLargeError` with `status: 413` for oversized body — catch these in the error handler before the ZodError check.
-- **10.7:** `req.path.startsWith('/api/')` is more reliable than `req.accepts('html')` for deciding JSON vs HTML on unknown paths — Node.js fetch defaults to accepting HTML.
-- **10.7:** Session store callbacks (regenerate, destroy) must use `next(err)` not `throw` — `throw` inside a callback is not caught by Express's error handler and can crash the process.
-- **10.8:** `leveling.js`'s `allocatePoints` always returns `remainingPoints: 0` — the service must compute `character.unspent_points - total` itself.
-- **10.8:** zod `.strictObject` with optional fields needs `.refine()` to require at least one field present.
-- **10.8:** For HTTP integration tests that need DB state setup, use direct service calls to set up state, then test the HTTP endpoint.
-- **10.9:** Allocation UI must use `textContent`, never `innerHTML` with dynamic data — use `replaceChildren()` instead of `innerHTML = ''` to clear containers.
-- **10.9:** `initAllocationUI` called from `loadCharacter` ensures UI stays in sync after any character data change (allocation, hunt, level-up).
-- **10.10:** `setupHero` helper must use `.then()` chain (not `return async () => { ... }`) — the latter returns a function that doesn't execute when awaited.
-- **10.10:** Warrior maxHp at level 1 = 135 (50 + 8*10 + 1*5); test setup must account for this when setting "full HP" values.
-- **10.12:** Register schema requires password min 8 chars; usernames must match `/^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$/` min 3 chars.

 ## 7. Next-step briefing
-- **Next step: 10.13** — Starter kit: `createCharacter` in `characterService.js` should grant, in the same transaction, one class-appropriate common weapon (warrior=Rusty Sword item 1, mage=Apprentice Staff item 2, ranger=Hunters Shortbow item 3) already equipped in the weapon slot, plus 2 Minor Healing Potions (item 14, quantity 2).
-- Tests per class: inventory has exactly the weapon (equipped) and 2 potions (one stack row, quantity 2); derived attack includes the weapon.
-- Need to modify `createCharacter` function and add integration tests.
+- **Next step: 10.15** — Non-stackable items: buying N of a non-stackable item should create N inventory rows with quantity 1 each (instead of 1 row with quantity N). Stackable items keep merging. Extract a shared grant helper if huntService has one; reuse it in buyItem.

+- Context: BALANCE.md says materials sell at `common 2×level, uncommon 4×level, rare 8×level` — but "level" was ambiguous (hero level vs item level). The code used `defaultRate * heroLevel / itemMinLevel`, making high-level heroes overpay and low-level heroes underpay for high-level materials.
