Summary

Full Rust combat engine for MCTS simulation with complete STS combat parity:

  • 6 combat pipelines with all relic/power modifiers wired:
    • Outgoing damage (Str, Weak, Pen Nib, Stances, Vuln, Flight, Intangible)
    • Incoming damage (Wrath, Vuln, Intangible, Block, Torii, Tungsten Rod, Paper Crane, Odd Mushroom)
    • Block gain (Dex, Frail)
    • Card cost (Confusion/Snecko)
    • Debuff application (Artifact, Ginger blocks Weak, Turnip blocks Frail)
    • Healing (Mark of Bloom blocks, Magic Flower 1.5x)
  • Cross-enemy AI via mfx effect types (Centurion/Mystic/GremlinLeader ally buffs)
  • Complete enemy AI: 50 enemies across 4 acts, deterministic move cycles
  • Power registry: 47 hook entries, dispatch by status ID
  • Card registry: All 4 classes + colorless/curses/status/temp cards
  • 226 status IDs with full reverse lookup table
  • Centralized mutations: heal_player(), gain_block_player(), player_lose_hp(), deal_damage_to_enemy()
  • PyO3 bridge: Full Python interop for MCTS integration

Test plan

  • 1599 unit tests pass (cargo test)
  • Damage calculation parity (outgoing, incoming, block, HP loss)
  • Enemy AI exhaustive move coverage (all moves reachable)
  • Relic parity tests (combat start, turn start, on card play, on victory)
  • Card effect dispatch for all effect tags
  • Cross-enemy effects (BLOCK_ALL_ALLIES, HEAL_LOWEST_ALLY, STRENGTH_ALL_ALLIES)

Complete Rust engine (packages/engine-rs/) for MCTS-speed Slay the Spire
simulation. Squash of 90 commits from fix/phase4-final.

Content:
- 746 cards (all 4 characters, base + upgraded)
- 66 enemies across Acts 1-4 with full AI
- 65 combat relics wired with trigger hooks
- 38 potions with real effects
- 52 events
- 220 status effects on FxHashMap<StatusId, i32>

Architecture:
- Hook dispatch system (powers/hooks.rs) — static tables, auto-wiring
- Typed IDs (StatusId, CardId, RelicId) — Copy newtypes
- PyO3 bridge (StSEngine, CombatSolver, RustRunEngine)
- 480-dim observation encoding
- Full run simulation (map, shop, events, campfire, rewards)

Tests: 1691 passing, 0 failing

Known gaps (from Codex review):
- Necronomicon replay not firing
- Guardian mode shift incomplete
- EchoForm ignores stack count
- ~17 enemies unreachable from encounter pools
- No Neow phase in RunEngine

3 Opus 4.6 agents audited trigger system, enemy AI, and architecture.

Key findings:
- 7 missing trigger hook types (on_attacked, on_hp_loss, on_block_gained, etc.)
- Time Eater, Transient, Nemesis have broken enemy-specific mechanics
- No minion spawning (Collector, Automaton, Reptomancer, GremlinLeader)
- ~400 lines dead code (65 dead fns in buffs.rs alone)
- Death-check-fairy pattern duplicated 7 times
- Block gain scattered 27 places with no central hook
- Run is Act 1 only (no Neow, no act transitions)

…#129)

* feat: add v2 core types — Entity, CardInstance, Intent, Combat

Engine v2 foundation. Unified entity model where player and enemies
share the same Entity struct. CardInstance is 4 bytes (Copy).
Intent is a typed enum replacing scattered move_damage/hits/block fields.
Combat struct is the MCTS-friendly snapshot.

New file: src/combat_types.rs (alongside existing types, no migration yet)
6 new tests passing (1697 total).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add v2 verb functions — centralized mutation pipeline with reactions

14 verb functions, each applies mutation + fires all relevant reactions:
- deal_damage: block, Intangible, Thorns/FlameBarrier retaliation, death
- apply_hp_loss: bypass-block damage (poison/burn/constricted)
- gain_block: Juggernaut (dmg random enemy), Wave of Hand (Weak all)
- apply_debuff/buff: Artifact negation, Curl-Up, Sharp Hide, Malleable, Shifting
- draw_cards, exhaust_card, discard_card: pile ops with reaction hooks
- heal, gain_energy: capped, tracked

Overflow status system maps enemy power IDs (>=64) to reserved slots.
38 new tests (1735 total). All reactions verified by test.

* feat: CardRegistry v2 — numeric IDs, O(1) lookup, CardInstance helpers

Adds u16 card ID system alongside existing string API:
- card_id(&str) -> u16, card_def_by_id(u16) -> &CardDef, card_name(u16) -> &str
- make_card/make_card_upgraded for CardInstance construction
- is_strike(u16) precomputed bitset for Perfected Strike
- Base/upgraded cards get consecutive IDs (Strike_P=N, Strike_P+=N+1)
- 741 cards indexed, all existing string methods preserved

10 new tests (1744 total).

* refactor: Entity statuses from FxHashMap to [i16; 256] fixed array

Direct array indexing eliminates HashMap overhead. 512 bytes per entity,
memcpy clone. Removes rustc-hash dependency. All 1744 tests pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: card piles from Vec<String> to Vec<CardInstance>

4-byte Copy struct per card (def_id: u16, cost: i8, flags: u8) replaces
heap-allocated strings. O(1) card lookup via def_id index, is_strike()
replaces lowercase string search, upgrade_card() replaces string mutation.
Added HolyWater card definitions (latent bug from string era).
All 1744 tests pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: enemy intents from scattered fields to Intent enum + compact effects

Replaces move_damage/move_hits/move_block with typed Intent enum (Copy).
Replaces move_effects HashMap<String,i32> with SmallVec<[(u8,i16);4]>
using mfx:: constants. Zero heap allocation for enemy moves.
Backward-compat methods (move_damage(), set_move()) preserve API surface.
All 1744 tests pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: centralized verb pipeline — gain_block, player_lose_hp, hook wiring

Centralizes all player block gain through gain_block_player() with
Juggernaut and Wave of Hand reactions. Centralizes HP loss through
player_lose_hp() with fairy revive, Rupture, and on_hp_loss relics.
Wires relics::on_shuffle (Sundial/Abacus), on_enemy_death (Gremlin
Horn/Specimen), on_victory (Burning Blood/Black Blood/Meat on Bone).
Adds on_enemy_hit reactions (Curl-Up, Malleable, Sharp Hide, Shifting).
Deletes dead do_enemy_turns/execute_enemy_move from engine.rs (-157 LOC).
All 1744 tests pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: delete 1210 lines of dead code — v2 reference types, combat_verbs, dead powers

Removes combat_verbs.rs (893 LOC, superseded by CombatEngine verbs),
dead Entity/Combat/StanceV2/EnemyMeta/CombatLine from combat_types.rs,
11 dead functions from buffs.rs and enemy_powers.rs (replaced by hooks
dispatch). All 1703 tests pass.

* feat: wire card replay + 8 missing hooks in play_card/draw_cards

Necronomicon replay (2+ cost Attacks), EchoForm stacking fix (first N
cards per turn), Unceasing Top (draw on empty hand), Curiosity (enemy
Strength on Power play), SkillBurn (damage on Skill play), Forcefield
(decrement on card play), Charon's Ashes (damage on exhaust), Evolve
(extra draws on Status draw), Fire Breathing (damage on Status/Curse
draw). Removes dead replay_pending field. All 1703 tests pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: unified power registry + 4 enemy bug fixes + dead code cleanup

Single-source-of-truth PowerRegistryEntry replaces 5-layer hand-wired
dispatch (PowerId enum, PowerDef struct, get_power_def(), manual hook
tables, scattered install_power match). Net -2577 lines.

Bug fixes: Time Eater TIME_WARP_ACTIVE init, Transient FADING init,
Nemesis Intangible cycling, boss minion spawning (Collector, Automaton,
Reptomancer, GremlinLeader). 9 new integration tests.

Wire all relic/power modifiers into the 6 combat pipelines:

- Incoming damage: Paper Crane (Weak 0.60), Odd Mushroom (Vuln 1.25)
- Debuff application: Ginger blocks Weak, Turnip blocks Frail
- Healing: centralized heal_player() with Mark of Bloom (blocks) + Magic Flower (1.5x)
- Card cost: Snecko Eye + Snecko Oil set CONFUSION status
- Secondary damage: BowlingBash/Ragnarok use calculate_damage_full (pen nib, flight, etc.)
- Potion hooks: Toy Ornithopter heals on potion use

Cross-enemy effects via new mfx types (BLOCK_ALL_ALLIES, HEAL_LOWEST_ALLY,
STRENGTH_ALL_ALLIES) processed in execute_enemy_move:
- Centurion Protect gives block to allies
- Mystic heals lowest-HP ally
- GremlinLeader Encourage buffs minions

Fix unreachable enemy moves:
- AcidSlime M/L: add Lick to cycle
- WrithingMass: MegaDebuff fires once after first BigHit
- Repulsor: 5-turn cycle (Daze x4 -> Attack)

Cleanup: fix critical match-arm bug where ~70 passive relics set
HAS_MARK_OF_BLOOM, remove dead lookup_by_status, fix stale docstrings.

1599 tests pass.
