+
+## 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`.
+
+## Balance Lab healing done and received analytics (2026-09-17)
+
+- Raw Balance Lab member metrics now attribute effective healing to both the
+  caster and the party target. Party and suite reports expose healing done and
+  received per active second plus absolute totals; self-heals count on both
+  sides of the attribution.
+- The GM overview adds separate **Healing done by class/spec** and **Healing
+  received by class/spec** graphs. The class/spec table can display and sort
+  both rates and totals. Older saved reports remain readable but show no target
+  healing until they are rerun.
+- All six Python controller tests and the production build passed. A live
+  one-seed, 15-second Eck the Ferocious run recorded the Holy Paladin's 867
+  effective healing as 57.8 HPS done and the Blood Death Knight's same 867 as
+  57.8 HPS received. A matching automatic-suite run verified the new JSON and
+  CSV fields under `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab-healing-suite/`.
+
+## Balance Lab deterministic class/spec coverage (2026-09-17)
+
+- Automatic sweeps now offer **Random parties**, **All specs**, and **Specific
+  specs**. All-spec mode derives the minimum valid 1-tank/1-healer/3-damage
+  party set that covers every available build. Specific mode guarantees every
+  selected build appears and uses distinct compatible fillers for missing
+  roles; selected builds are not reused as fillers when alternatives exist.
+- A real level-20 WoW all-spec sweep against Eck the Ferocious generated eight
+  distinct parties and placed all 31 catalog builds in `suite-report.json`
+  with zero missing. The combined catalog audit found 70 CoA builds requiring
+  16 coverage parties and 16 RoM builds requiring four; every source exposes
+  enough tank, healer, and damage builds for valid coverage parties.
+- Eight Python controller tests, nine Balance Lab service tests, two server
+  integration tests, and the production build passed. Production Edge
+  automation verified the All Specs estimate, selected Paladin Holy through the
+  Specific Specs picker, completed the server job, rendered all seven overview
+  graphs, and passed desktop plus 480×900 overflow checks without browser
+  errors. Evidence is in `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab/02-server-job-config.png`
+  and `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab/03-server-job-complete.png`.
+
+## Balance Lab class/spec ability damage drill-down (2026-09-17)
+
+- Every class/spec row now exposes **View ability damage** when ability telemetry
+  exists. It opens the Abilities tab on that exact source/build, clears
+  conflicting search and role filters, and defaults to abilities with positive
+  effective damage sorted highest first.
+- The drill-down graph and table retain ability name/ID, casts, casts per minute,
+  hits, effective/raw damage, damage share, DPS, and damage per hit. Healing,
+  overheal, absorbs, usage, and unused-ability filters remain available.
+- The production build passed. A real five-second level-20 WoW run against Eck
+  the Ferocious opened a Death Knight Unholy row through the new action and
+  verified positive effective ability damage plus the expected cast, damage
+  share, and DPS columns. Desktop and 480×900 checks passed with no browser
+  errors. Evidence is in
+  `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab/04b-ability-breakdown.png` and
+  `playtest-artifacts/balance-lab/06-mobile-abilities.png`.
+
+## 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

+# Combat rotation matrix
+
+Healer Man uses AzerothCore playerbots commit `531282e` as a read-only behavioral reference. 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.
+
+| 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. |
+
+`playerbots-inspired-v4` also generates legal level-scaled talent plans for all
+31 classic specializations. Each level-80 plan spends 51 points in the selected
+tree and 20 in a compatible secondary tree, prefers executable active talents
+and their prerequisites, and sanitizes obsolete imported prerequisite links.
+Runtime resource generation is actor-authoritative without erasing the action's
+cooldown/GCD, and companion melee abilities share the formation combat-reach
+leeway already used by weapon swings.
+
+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.

+## 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.
