## Current Focus
- **Phase:** 4
- **Step:** 4.5
- **Blocked?** No
- **Last verified working command:** `npm test` — 93/93 passing (69 unit + 24 integration), 2026-10-20 review/fix pass

## Project Health
| Item | State |
|---|---|
| App starts (`npm start`) | ✅ smoke-tested: register → create hero → 12 hunts → level-up (real seeded zones) |
| Tests pass (`npm test`) | ✅ 93/93 (runs EVERY *.test.js; auth/combat/health were previously skipped by a bad glob) |
| Migrations run clean on empty DB | ✅ 001_users, 002_characters, 003_content (also seeds zones/monsters/items), 004_inventory, 006_logs (005 reserved for expeditions) |
| Can register + login | ✅ verified by tests |
| Data persists across restart | ⚠️ sessions use the real SQLite store (also in tests); a restart test is still missing |

## Phase 0 — Scaffold
- [x] **0.1** `npm init`, install deps from NOTES.md §2, add scripts: `start`, `dev` (node --watch), `test`, `migrate`, `seed`.
  *Acceptance:* `npm install` succeeds; scripts exist in package.json.
- [x] **0.2** `src/config/index.js` loads `.env` (use `process.loadEnvFile` or `dotenv`), validates required vars, exports a frozen config object.
  *Acceptance:* missing SESSION_SECRET in production throws a clear error.
- [x] **0.3** `src/db/index.js` opens SQLite (WAL mode, foreign_keys ON) and exports the handle. `scripts/migrate.js` runs numbered `.sql` files from `src/db/migrations/` in order and records them in a `_migrations` table.
  *Acceptance:* `npm run migrate` twice in a row is safe (second run does nothing).
- [x] **0.4** `src/app.js` (builds Express app, no listen) + `src/server.js` (listens). Add helmet, JSON body parser (limit 10kb), static `public/`, `GET /api/health` → `{ok:true}`, central error handler (see CODING_STANDARDS).
  *Acceptance:* `curl localhost:3000/api/health` returns `{"ok":true}`.
- [x] **0.5** First test: health endpoint via `node:test` + `fetch` against `app` on an ephemeral port (see TESTING.md).
  *Acceptance:* `npm test` passes.

## Phase 1 — Accounts & Sessions  (docs: DATABASE, API, SECURITY)
- [x] **1.1** Migration `001_users.sql` (users table).
- [x] **1.2** `src/services/authService.js`: `register`, `verifyLogin`. bcryptjs cost 10–12. Case-insensitive unique username.
- [x] **1.3** Session middleware (httpOnly, sameSite=lax, secure in production, SQLite-backed store) + `requireAuth` middleware.
- [x] **1.4** Routes: `POST /api/auth/register`, `POST /api/auth/login`, `POST /api/auth/logout`, `GET /api/auth/me`. Zod validation. Rate limit login/register.
- [x] **1.5** Pages `public/login.html`, `public/register.html` + `public/js/auth.js`.
- [x] **1.6** Tests: register ok, duplicate username, bad password, login ok/fail, `me` requires session, logout clears session.
  *Acceptance (phase):* can register, log in, refresh page and stay logged in, restart server and stay logged in, log out.

## Phase 2 — Hero Creation & Profile  (docs: GAME_DESIGN §Classes, DATABASE, BALANCE)
- [x] **2.1** Migration `002_characters.sql`.
- [x] **2.2** `src/game/classes.js` (class base stats) + `src/game/stats.js` (derived stats). Unit tests.
- [x] **2.3** `POST /api/character` (create; one per user), `GET /api/character` (full profile incl. derived stats and current energy).
- [x] **2.4** `public/create-hero.html`, `public/game.html` (dashboard shell with stats panel).
  *Acceptance:* new user is redirected to create-hero; after creation, dashboard shows stats.

## Phase 3 — Energy & Lazy Time  (docs: GAME_DESIGN §Time, BALANCE)
- [x] **3.1** `src/game/energy.js`: pure `computeEnergy(stored, updatedAtMs, nowMs, cfg)` → `{energy, updatedAtMs}`. Unit tests incl. cap, partial intervals, clock going backwards.
- [x] **3.2** `characterService.spendEnergy(characterId, cost)` runs in a transaction; rejects when insufficient.
- [x] **3.3** Dashboard shows energy bar + "next +1 in mm:ss" countdown (client-side countdown only; server remains authoritative).
  *Acceptance:* set `energy_updated_at` back in DB by 30 min → refresh shows regen applied.
  *Verified:* energy bar + countdown in game.html/game.js; server returns nextTickInSec; 16 computeEnergy unit tests cover cap/partial/large-gap scenarios.

## Phase 4 — Combat (Hunting)  (docs: GAME_DESIGN §Combat, BALANCE)
- [x] **4.1** Content tables + seed data (zones, monsters, items, loot). *Done inside migration `003_content.sql` (INSERT OR IGNORE), not `scripts/seed.js`. Balance changes need a NEW migration.*
- [x] **4.2** `src/game/combat.js`: pure `resolveCombat(hero, monster, rng)` → `{winner, rounds[], hpRemaining}`. Seedable RNG in `src/utils/rng.js`. Unit tests with fixed seed.
  *Acceptance:* 10 combat unit tests pass; deterministic with same seed; speed determines turn order; mage bonus vs high-def; 20-round cap.
- [x] **4.3** `src/game/rewards.js`: XP, gold, loot roll. `src/game/leveling.js`: XP curve, level-up, stat points.
  *Acceptance:* 23 unit tests pass; xpToNext matches BALANCE.md; level-up handles multi-level; points allocation validated.
- [x] **4.4** `POST /api/hunt { zoneId }`: spend energy → pick monster → resolve → apply rewards/penalty → write `combat_log` → return summary + round log. All inside one DB transaction.
  *Acceptance:* hunt returns winner, rounds, xpGained, goldGained, loot, leveledUp, zone, monster. *Verified:* 9 service tests (`tests/integration/hunt-service.test.js`) cover persistence, level-up, defeat, locked zone, energy, stacking.
- [ ] **4.5** UI: zone list, "Hunt" button, combat log display, result summary, level-up message.
  *Acceptance:* hunting repeatedly drains energy, awards XP/gold, levels the hero, and persists.

## Phase 5 — Inventory & Equipment  (docs: GAME_DESIGN §Items, DATABASE)
- [ ] **5.1** Migration `004_inventory.sql`.
- [ ] **5.2** Services + routes: list inventory, equip, unequip (slots: weapon, armor, trinket). Equipment modifies derived stats.
- [ ] **5.3** Stackable consumables: `POST /api/inventory/use` (health potion heals; energy tonic restores energy, capped).
- [ ] **5.4** UI: inventory grid, equipment panel, tooltips with stats.

## Phase 6 — Shop & Economy  (docs: GAME_DESIGN §Economy)
- [ ] **6.1** `GET /api/shop`, `POST /api/shop/buy`, `POST /api/shop/sell`. Sell value = 40% of base price. Gold can never go negative.
- [ ] **6.2** Level-gated shop stock. UI page.
- [ ] **6.3** Tests: buy with insufficient gold, sell equipped item (must be rejected), concurrent double-buy safety (transaction).

## Phase 7 — Expeditions (Offline Progress)  (docs: GAME_DESIGN §Time, §Expeditions)
- [ ] **7.1** Migration `005_expeditions.sql`. Expedition definitions in seed data.
- [ ] **7.2** `POST /api/expeditions/start`, `GET /api/expeditions/active`, `POST /api/expeditions/claim`. Only one active expedition per hero. Claim rejected before `ends_at`.
- [ ] **7.3** UI: start panel, progress bar, claim button.
  *Acceptance:* start → close browser → return after duration → claim → rewards granted exactly once.

## Phase 8 — Leaderboards & Social-lite  (docs: GAME_DESIGN §Leaderboards)
- [ ] **8.1** `GET /api/leaderboard?type=level|gold|kills` top 50, with pagination param.
- [ ] **8.2** Public profile `GET /api/heroes/:name` (no private data).
- [ ] **8.3** UI page.

## Phase 9 — Hardening & Polish  (docs: SECURITY, UI_GUIDE, TESTING)
- [ ] **9.1** Walk the SECURITY.md checklist; fix gaps.
- [ ] **9.2** Add `npm run seed:dev` creating a demo account and hero.
- [ ] **9.3** Global error pages / friendly UI error toasts. Loading states.
- [ ] **9.4** Mobile-responsive pass (see UI_GUIDE).
- [ ] **9.5** Final full run of "Definition of playable" from NOTES.md §7. Record results below.
- [ ] **9.6** Update README with real run instructions.

## Stretch Goals (only after Phase 9)
- [ ] S1 Async PvP duels (attack another hero's *snapshot*; cooldown; rating).
- [ ] S2 Skills / talent points spent on level-up.
- [ ] S3 Guilds (create, join, leave, guild board).
- [ ] S4 Player market (list/buy items between players, 5% tax gold sink).
- [ ] S5 Daily login reward + daily quests.
- [ ] S6 In-game chat via polling (no websockets).
- [ ] S7 Achievements.

## Known Issues
| # | Area | Description | Severity | Status | Found in step |
|---|------|-------------|----------|--------|---------------|
| 1 | Balance | Level-1 heroes of every class win 100% of Meadows fights (design target ≈80%) and lose 100% of Crags fights. Tune monster stats via a NEW migration. | minor | open | 4.4 review |
| 2 | API | `GET /api/zones` (list zones + `unlocked`) is documented in API.md but not implemented; step 4.5 needs it. | major | open | 4.4 review |
| 3 | Scripts | `npm run seed` points at `scripts/seed.js`, which doesn't exist (seeds are in migration 003). Remove the script or add the file. | cosmetic | open | 0.1 |
| 4 | Tests | No test proves sessions survive a server restart (two apps on one DB file). | minor | open | 1.3 |
| 5 | Combat | Hero equipment bonuses are not passed into combat yet (Phase 5). `resolveCombat` already accepts `bonus_*` fields. | minor | open | 5.x |
| 6 | Combat | Natural HP regeneration is not implemented: HP only restores on level-up (rest/potions arrive in Phases 5–6). | minor | open | 4.4 |
| 7 | Combat/Hunt | (Fixed in review) only the faster side attacked; mage bonus never applied; level-up kept XP and overwrote stat points; deaths never counted; zone min_level ignored; stackable loot duplicated rows; energy countdown showed time-to-full. | blocker | fixed | review |

Severity: `blocker` / `major` / `minor` / `cosmetic`. Status: `open` / `fixing` / `wontfix` / `fixed`.

## Technical Debt / TODOs
- `wrap()` async helper is copy-pasted in each route file; move to `src/middleware/wrap.js`.
- Error responses from route-level `AppError`s for validation don't include field details (API.md says they should).
- `npm test` prints a lot of TAP noise; consider `--test-reporter=spec`.
- `src/db/seeds/` is empty (kept for later content seeds).

## Open Questions (for the human)
- _none yet_

## Decisions Made (short; long form goes in docs/DECISIONS.md)
- D-004: every combat round BOTH sides attack (faster first). D-005: equipment stats counted once in derived stats. D-006: unref the session-store cleanup timer; use the real SQLite store in tests. D-007: `utils/time.js` is the only clock.

## Test Summary
| Suite | Passing | Failing | Last run |
|---|---|---|---|
| unit | 69 | 0 | 2026-10-20 review pass |
| integration | 24 | 0 | 2026-10-20 review pass |

## Session Log
_Format:_ `YYYY-MM-DD | step | what changed | result`
- 2026-10-20 | review | Fixed `npm test` (ran 62 of 79 tests; auth/combat/health were skipped by an unquoted glob). Rewrote combat (slower side never attacked; mage bonus dead; hpRemaining wrong on loss). Rewrote huntService (XP not deducted on level-up, unspent points overwritten, deaths never counted, min_level ignored, stackable loot duplicated, duplicate stat formulas).
