Release Healer Man 0.1.49

   displayed `Server runtime ready · Python 3.14.0`, submitted a real Eck run,

+## Party melee animation cadence (2026-09-16)
+
+- Party character animation now follows authoritative combat-presentation
+  phases instead of treating every `nextActionAt` retry timestamp as an attack.
+  Auto-attacks produce one ordinary attack event, while real abilities retain
+  their cast-start, release, and cancel identities.
+- Warrior and Paladin auto-attacks now prefer the normal one-handed/two-handed
+  attack clips before special clips. Special/spinning clips remain available to
+  explicitly matched abilities rather than every weapon swing.
+- The focused combat-animation suite passed 10 tests, all 47 avatar tests
+  passed, and the production build plus texture/performance and release-bundle
+  audits passed. The live level-three Stockades pass completed without browser
+  errors; all five bodies and their equipped weapon/staff silhouettes rendered
+  intact. Evidence is in
+  `playtest-artifacts/dungeon-health-scaling/stockades-level-three.png`.

+# Combat rotation matrix
+
+Healer Man uses AzerothCore playerbots commit `531282e` as a read-only behavioral reference. The implementation is an independent TypeScript policy over Healer Man's executable catalog, not a port of playerbots C++.
+
+| Concern | Playerbots behavior translated into Healer Man |
+| --- | --- |
+| Core rotation | One deterministic priority profile for each of the 31 Wrath specializations. |
+| Maintenance | DoTs, debuffs, buffs, pets, and summons are refreshed only after their existing effect ends. |
+| Execute | Execute-category abilities move ahead of the normal profile below 20% target health. |
+| Multiple targets | Cleave gains value at two hostiles; area damage moves ahead at three or more. |
+| Healing | Critical, medium, and light triage bands begin below 30%, 60%, and 90% health. Area healing requires three injured allies. |
+| Threat | Tanks interrupt first and taunt a hostile that is not attacking them; non-tanks drop dangerous threat before continuing their profile. |
+| Control | Interrupts are reactive. Long crowd control is used only when an encounter requests control. |
+| Defense | Mitigation is used below 55% actor health and receives emergency priority below 35%. |
+| Resources | Low-resource generators are favored below 30%; spenders still have to pass runtime cost and rune validation. |
+| Combo points | Builders run below four points; finishers require at least four points on the current target. |
+| Major cooldowns | Offensive cooldowns of 60 seconds or longer are held for bosses or durable targets. |
+
+CoA and Runes of Magic builds use the same semantic rules when no classic profile applies. Runes of Magic candidates include primary, secondary-general, and primary/secondary elite skills through `abilitiesForCharacter`.
+
+## Classic specialization profiles
+
+The leftmost available action wins after reactive rules, learned-talent gating, resource checks, maintenance checks, execute/AoE adjustments, and major-cooldown conservation. Maintenance entries are intentionally listed first; an active aura or pet removes that entry from consideration.
+
+| Class | Specialization | Maintenance and core priority |
+| --- | --- | --- |

+| Warrior | Fury | Berserker Stance; Bloodthirst; Whirlwind; Execute; Sunder Armor; Heroic Strike |

+## Ability audit classification
+
+Active abilities fall into one of three audit buckets:
+
+- **Conditional:** executable but selected only by a semantic trigger, such as interrupts, dispels, resurrection, threat control, movement, crowd control, executes, defensives, and long cooldowns.
+- **Unsupported:** the catalog has only `unsupported`, `scripted`, or noncombat `utility` payloads, or represents a noncombat summon such as a scouting eye, ritual object, portal, or mount. These remain player-visible when valid but are deliberately excluded from autonomous rotations.
+- **Rotation defect:** an executable learned ability with combat semantics that cannot be selected in its valid state. Profile-reference tests, shared-policy scenario tests, party damage audits, and the expanded-class audit treat these as failures.
