+## WoW full-spec mechanics and rotation pass (2026-09-18)
+
+- `playerbots-inspired-v3` now gives every one of the 31 Wrath specs a legal,
+  level-scaled talent plan and executable profile. The pass repaired stale
+  talent prerequisites, companion Rage/Runic Power persistence, short melee
+  reach, warrior rage banking, and explicit profile ordering.
+- Scripted payloads now make Bloodthirst, Bloodrage, Execute, Mutilate, Killing
+  Spree, Penance, Feral Spirit, Conflagrate, and Earth Shield mechanically
+  meaningful. Frost/Unholy disease setup, Arms Rend/Mortal Strike order, Arcane
+  Barrage, and healer maintenance behavior have direct regression coverage.
+- The exhaustive level-80 headless audit completed 2,672 fights with no
+  simulation failures under `artifacts/balance-fixes-20260918-level80/`.
+  The final 40-run Stockades confirmation under
+  `artifacts/balance-fixes-20260918-stockade-level80-final/` exercised all 31
+  specs: Feral Spirit, Bloodrage, and Earth Shield were active in every eligible
+  run, while the repaired damage signatures produced damage in their applicable
+  runs. Low-level boss floors were recalibrated so ordinary/final Stockades
+  encounters still retain their 25/45-second mechanic windows. These are
+  structured combat checks, so no scene screenshot is applicable. Remaining
+  cross-spec DPS/HPS outliers require a separate coefficient-tuning pass.
+
+## Balance Lab level batches and parallel workers (2026-09-19)
+
+- The GM setup now switches between one level and all level brackets. The three
+  schedules expose 9 jobs (level 1 plus every 10), 17 jobs (level 1 plus every
+  5), or 80 jobs (every level). Every-boss, source-specific boss, and explicit
+  boss selection remain available, and the estimate totals all scheduled jobs.
+- A browser-driven nine-level exploratory submission created nine persisted
+  jobs in one request, started four independent Python/TypeScript processes,
+  and completed the first four level reports before the automation time limit;
+  the test server then stopped the remaining isolated test jobs. Server tests
+  separately prove parallel worker utilization, queued overflow, and all-or-
+  nothing rejection when a complete batch will not fit.
+- The final production-build smoke pass verified the 9/17/80 schedule controls,
+  worker/queue status, specific Paladin Holy and Eck selection, one complete
+  real level-20 report, all report/ability analytics, and 480x900 layout with no
+  browser errors. Evidence is in
+  `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab/02-level-batch-config.png`,

The complete historical checkout is available locally at `../wow-pvt-server-backups-2/azerothcore-wotlk/modules/mod-playerbots`; do not modify it or treat it as the active project. The implementation is an independent TypeScript policy over Healer Man's executable catalog, not a port of playerbots C++.
+
+The most useful upstream starting points are `src/Ai/Class/<Class>/Strategy/` for actions, triggers, and relative priorities; `conf/playerbots.conf.dist` for the level-60 and level-80 PvE talent build links; `src/PlayerbotAIConfig.cpp` for parsing those links; and `src/Bot/Factory/PlayerbotFactory.cpp` plus `src/Mgr/Talent/Talentspec.cpp` for level-aware talent application. Translate these inputs through Healer Man's own talent legality, executable-effect, resource, encounter-state, and deterministic-simulation rules rather than copying C++ behavior literally.
