# Playable Slice 0.10 — Abandoned Watchpost Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Add the Abandoned Watchpost as a full playable location with its own encounter pool, trade goods and equipment progression, plus the first non-level world gate: an Ash Pit route the player has to discover.

**Architecture:** Three genuinely new mechanisms — a per-character discovery table gating individual travel connections, two content-driven combat abilities (`guard`, `enrage`) added to the ability set the engine already reads, and a re-runnable PowerShell script that derives per-monster web assets from the committed art. Everything else is seed content that flows through systems that already exist.

**Tech Stack:** NestJS 11, TypeORM, PostgreSQL, Jest (API); Angular 20 standalone components, Karma/Jasmine (web); PowerShell + System.Drawing for asset derivation.

**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-23-slice-0.10-abandoned-watchpost-design.md`

## Global Constraints

- All player-facing content is **English** (slice §12, AGENTS §33).
- Server is authoritative: every gate enforced in the API, never only in the UI (AGENTS §5).
- No normal enemy grants Silver, XP or reputation directly (slice §6). Silver reaches the player only through Borin's exchange.
- No `requiredLevel` gating anywhere in this slice (slice §2, §9).
- Combat stays deterministic: fixed cadences, no hidden rolls (AGENTS §10).
- Monster behaviour is content, never an engine branch on a monster key (AGENTS §9).
- Seeds are idempotent — re-running must never duplicate rows (AGENTS §8).
- Do not retune existing Burned Road content. This slice adds; it does not rebalance (AGENTS §39).
- API tests: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api`. Web tests: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`.
- Every task ends with a commit. Commit messages follow the repo's Conventional Commits style (`feat(api):`, `test(seed):`, `docs:`).

### Task 1: Migration — discovery table, connection gate, combat event types

**Files:**

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing.
- Produces: table `character_location_discoveries`, column `location_connections.requires_discovery`, enum values `GUARD_RAISED` / `GUARD_ENDED` / `ENRAGED` on `combat_event_type_enum`. Class name `CreateAbandonedWatchpost1798000000000`.

### Task 2: Combat engine — the `guard` ability

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/api/src/monsters/monster-abilities.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-event-type.enum.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.types.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `calculateDamage(attacker, targetArmor, multiplier)` from `combat-damage.ts`.
- Produces: `MonsterGuardAbility { roundInterval, armorBonus, durationRounds }` on `MonsterAbilities.guard`; `CombatEngineCombatantStats.activeGuard?: { remainingRounds: number; armorBonus: number }`; event types `GUARD_RAISED`, `GUARD_ENDED`.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Append to `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.spec.ts`, inside the top-level `describe`:

```ts

    expect(result.events.map((event) => event.type)).not.toContain(
      CombatEventType.GUARD_RAISED,
    );
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- combat-engine.service`
Expected: FAIL — `Property 'guard' does not exist on type 'MonsterAbilities'` and `GUARD_RAISED` missing from `CombatEventType`

- [ ] **Step 3: Add the ability type**

In `apps/api/src/monsters/monster-abilities.ts`, add before `MonsterAbilities`:

```ts
export interface MonsterGuardAbility {
  /**
   * The monster forgoes its attack on every round divisible by this and
   * covers instead, raising its armor for `durationRounds`. SHIELD_BASH
   * breaks it, the same answer the telegraph already taught (Playable Slice
   * 0.10 §5).
   */
  roundInterval: number;
  armorBonus: number;
  durationRounds: number;
}
```

and extend the interface:

```ts
export interface MonsterAbilities {
  telegraph?: MonsterTelegraphAbility;
  bleed?: MonsterBleedAbility;
  guard?: MonsterGuardAbility;
}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Add the event types**

In `apps/api/src/combat/combat-event-type.enum.ts`, add to the enum after `INTERRUPT`:

```ts
  GUARD_RAISED = 'GUARD_RAISED',
  GUARD_ENDED = 'GUARD_ENDED',
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Add the engine state field**

In `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.types.ts`, add to `CombatEngineCombatantStats` after `pendingAction`:

```ts
  // Monster-only: set when it covers, cleared when the rounds run out or a
  // Shield Bash breaks it. Its bonus is added to the monster's armor while
  // it lasts (Playable Slice 0.10 §7).
  activeGuard?: { remainingRounds: number; armorBonus: number };
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Implement the engine behaviour**

In `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.ts`:

Add the import:

```ts
import type {
  MonsterBleedAbility,
  MonsterGuardAbility,
  MonsterTelegraphAbility,
} from '../monsters/monster-abilities';
```

Add a helper that reads the monster's effective armor, and use it in both places
the player's blow is calculated (`resolvePlayerStrike` and `resolveShieldBash`),
replacing `monster.stats.armor`:

```ts
  /** Armor the monster actually presents this round, guard included. */
  private effectiveArmor(combatant: CombatEngineCombatant): number {
    return combatant.stats.armor + (combatant.stats.activeGuard?.armorBonus ?? 0);
  }
```

```ts
    const damage = calculateDamage(
      player.stats,
      this.effectiveArmor(monster),
      multiplier,
    );
```

In `resolveShieldBash`, extend the interrupt block so it also breaks a guard:

```ts
    let interrupted = false;
    if (monster.stats.pendingAction) {
      monster.stats.pendingAction = undefined;
      interrupted = true;
      events.push({
        source: Combatant.PLAYER,
        target: Combatant.MONSTER,
        type: CombatEventType.INTERRUPT,
      });
    }

    // A guard is a prepared stance like a wind-up, and the bash answers both.
    // Only one INTERRUPT is emitted even when the bash breaks both at once --
    // the player made one interruption, not two.
    if (monster.stats.activeGuard) {
      monster.stats.activeGuard = undefined;
      if (!interrupted) {
        events.push({
          source: Combatant.PLAYER,
          target: Combatant.MONSTER,
          type: CombatEventType.INTERRUPT,
        });
      }
      interrupted = true;
      events.push({
        source: Combatant.MONSTER,
        target: Combatant.MONSTER,
        type: CombatEventType.GUARD_ENDED,
      });
    }
```

In `resolveMonsterTurn`, insert the guard branch after the telegraph branch and
before the normal strike:

```ts
    if (this.shouldTrigger(abilities.guard, round)) {
      const guard = abilities.guard as MonsterGuardAbility;
      monster.stats.activeGuard = {
        remainingRounds: guard.durationRounds,
        armorBonus: guard.armorBonus,
      };
      events.push({
        source: Combatant.MONSTER,
        target: Combatant.MONSTER,
        type: CombatEventType.GUARD_RAISED,
        amount: guard.durationRounds,
      });
      return;
    }
```

Widen the `shouldTrigger` signature to accept the new ability:

```ts
  private shouldTrigger(
    ability:
      | MonsterTelegraphAbility
      | MonsterBleedAbility
      | MonsterGuardAbility
      | undefined,
    round: number,
  ): boolean {
```

Age the guard **before** the monster acts. In `finishRound`, immediately before
the `if (!interrupted)` block, add:

```ts
    this.ageGuard(monster, events);
```

Order matters here. The player's blow for this round was already calculated
against the guard by the time `finishRound` runs, and the guard is raised inside
`resolveMonsterTurn` — which comes after this line. So a guard raised on round N
is first aged on round N+1, and `durationRounds: 2` means it turns aside the
player's next two attacks. Ageing after `resolveMonsterTurn` instead would eat a
round off the guard the moment it went up.

Placing it before the `if (!interrupted)` guard also means the counter runs down
even on a round the monster was interrupted out of, so a Shield Bash on a
telegraph never accidentally extends an unrelated guard.

Add the method:

```ts
  /**
   * Counts one round off an active guard, and drops it when it runs out.
   *
   * Called before the monster acts, so the guard it raises this round is not
   * immediately aged: `durationRounds: 2` turns aside the player's next two
   * attacks.
   */
  private ageGuard(
    monster: CombatEngineCombatant,
    events: CombatEngineEvent[],
  ): void {
    const guard = monster.stats.activeGuard;
    if (!guard) {
      return;
    }

    const remainingRounds = guard.remainingRounds - 1;
    if (remainingRounds > 0) {
      monster.stats.activeGuard = { ...guard, remainingRounds };
      return;
    }

    monster.stats.activeGuard = undefined;
    events.push({
      source: Combatant.MONSTER,
      target: Combatant.MONSTER,
      type: CombatEventType.GUARD_ENDED,
    });
  }
```

Finally, clear the guard on death alongside `pendingAction` in `finishRound`:

```ts
      const defeatedMonster = {
        ...monster,
        stats: {

### Task 3: Combat engine — the `enrage` ability

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/api/src/monsters/monster-abilities.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-event-type.enum.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.types.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `MonsterAbilities` from Task 2.
- Produces: `MonsterEnrageAbility { hpThresholdPercent, damageMultiplier }` on `MonsterAbilities.enrage`; `CombatEngineCombatantStats.enraged?: boolean`; event type `ENRAGED`.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Append to `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.spec.ts`:

```ts
const HOUND_ABILITIES: MonsterAbilities = {
  bleed: { roundInterval: 2, damagePerRound: 6, durationRounds: 2 },
  enrage: { hpThresholdPercent: 35, damageMultiplier: 1.4 },
};

describe('enrage', () => {
  it('turns aggressive once its HP crosses the threshold', () => {
    // 80 max HP, 40 left; a 14-damage blow lands it on 26, below 35%.
    const state = baseState({
      round: 1,
      player: {
        currentHp: 100,
        maxHp: 100,
        stats: { attack: 6, weaponDamage: 8, armor: 0 },
      },
      monster: withAbilities(HOUND_ABILITIES, {
        currentHp: 40,
        maxHp: 80,
        stats: { attack: 12, armor: 0, abilities: HOUND_ABILITIES },
      }),
    });

    const result = new CombatEngineService().resolveAction(state, {
      action: CombatAction.ATTACK,
    });

    expect(result.state.monster.stats.enraged).toBe(true);
    expect(result.events.map((event) => event.type)).toContain(
      CombatEventType.ENRAGED,
    );
    // The same round's reply already hits harder: 12 * 1.4 = 16.8 -> 17.
    const monsterHit = result.events.find(
      (event) =>
        event.type === CombatEventType.DAMAGE &&
        event.source === Combatant.MONSTER,
    );
    expect(monsterHit?.amount).toBe(17);
  });

  it('stays quiet above the threshold', () => {
    const state = baseState({
      round: 1,
      monster: withAbilities(HOUND_ABILITIES, {
        currentHp: 80,
        maxHp: 80,
        stats: { attack: 12, armor: 0, abilities: HOUND_ABILITIES },
      }),
    });

    const result = new CombatEngineService().resolveAction(state, {
      action: CombatAction.ATTACK,
    });

    expect(result.state.monster.stats.enraged).toBeUndefined();
    expect(result.events.map((event) => event.type)).not.toContain(
      CombatEventType.ENRAGED,
    );
  });

  it('announces the change only once', () => {
    const state = baseState({
      round: 2,
      monster: withAbilities(HOUND_ABILITIES, {
        currentHp: 20,
        maxHp: 80,
        stats: {
          attack: 12,
          armor: 0,
          abilities: HOUND_ABILITIES,
          enraged: true,
        },
      }),
    });

    const result = new CombatEngineService().resolveAction(state, {
      action: CombatAction.DEFEND,
    });

    expect(result.events.map((event) => event.type)).not.toContain(
      CombatEventType.ENRAGED,
    );
    expect(result.state.monster.stats.enraged).toBe(true);
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- combat-engine.service`
Expected: FAIL — `Property 'enrage' does not exist on type 'MonsterAbilities'`

- [ ] **Step 3: Add the ability type**

In `apps/api/src/monsters/monster-abilities.ts`:

```ts
export interface MonsterEnrageAbility {
  /**
   * Once its HP first falls to or below this share of maximum, the monster
   * hits harder for the rest of the fight. One deterministic state change,
   * never reversed and never rolled (Playable Slice 0.10 §5).
   */
  hpThresholdPercent: number;
  damageMultiplier: number;
}
```

and add `enrage?: MonsterEnrageAbility;` to `MonsterAbilities`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Add the event type and state field**

In `apps/api/src/combat/combat-event-type.enum.ts` add `ENRAGED = 'ENRAGED',` after `GUARD_ENDED`.

In `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.types.ts` add to `CombatEngineCombatantStats`:

```ts
  // Monster-only: latched the first time its HP crosses the enrage threshold.
  enraged?: boolean;
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Implement the engine behaviour**

In `apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.ts`, add the check at the top of
`resolveMonsterTurn`, before the pending-action branch — the monster notices its
wounds before it decides what to do:

```ts
    this.checkEnrage(monster, events);
```

Add the method:

```ts
  /**
   * Latches the enraged state the first time the monster's HP crosses its
   * threshold. Checked before it acts, so the blow that wounded it is already
   * answered in kind.
   */
  private checkEnrage(
    monster: CombatEngineCombatant,
    events: CombatEngineEvent[],
  ): void {
    const enrage = monster.stats.abilities?.enrage;
    if (!enrage || monster.stats.enraged) {
      return;
    }

    const threshold = (monster.maxHp * enrage.hpThresholdPercent) / 100;
    if (monster.currentHp > threshold) {
      return;
    }

    monster.stats.enraged = true;
    events.push({
      source: Combatant.MONSTER,
      target: Combatant.MONSTER,
      type: CombatEventType.ENRAGED,
    });
  }
```

Apply the multiplier where the monster strikes. In `strikePlayer`, fold it into
the multiplier passed in:

```ts
  private strikePlayer(
    monster: CombatEngineCombatant,
    player: CombatEngineCombatant,
    multiplier: number,
    events: CombatEngineEvent[],
  ): void {
    const enrageMultiplier = monster.stats.enraged
      ? (monster.stats.abilities?.enrage?.damageMultiplier ?? 1)
      : 1;
    const damage = calculateDamage(
      monster.stats,
      player.stats.armor,
      multiplier * enrageMultiplier,
    );
    player.currentHp = Math.max(0, player.currentHp - damage);
    events.push({
      source: Combatant.MONSTER,
      target: Combatant.PLAYER,
      type: CombatEventType.DAMAGE,
      amount: damage,
    });
  }
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- combat-engine.service`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/api/src/monsters/monster-abilities.ts apps/api/src/combat/combat-event-type.enum.ts apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.types.ts apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.ts apps/api/src/combat/combat-engine.service.spec.ts
git commit -m "feat(api): let wounded monsters turn aggressive"
```

### Task 4: Expose guard and enrage through the combat API

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/api/src/combat/combat.service.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/combat/combat.service.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `CombatEngineCombatantStats.activeGuard` / `.enraged` from Tasks 2 and 3.
- Produces: `CombatMonsterDto.guardRemainingRounds: number | null` and `CombatMonsterDto.enraged: boolean`.

Note: `combat.monsterState` is assigned straight from `result.state.monster.stats`,
so both fields already persist. Only the DTO needs work.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Add to `apps/api/src/combat/combat.service.spec.ts`, in the describe block that
covers the combat DTO:

```ts
  it('reports an active guard and an enraged monster to the client', async () => {
    const { service, combat } = await startCombatFixture();
    combat.monsterState = {
      ...combat.monsterState,
      activeGuard: { remainingRounds: 2, armorBonus: 10 },
      enraged: true,
    };

    const dto = await service.getCombat(CHARACTER_ID, combat.id);

    expect(dto.monster.guardRemainingRounds).toBe(2);
    expect(dto.monster.enraged).toBe(true);
  });

  it('reports no guard when the monster is not covering', async () => {
    const { service, combat } = await startCombatFixture();

    const dto = await service.getCombat(CHARACTER_ID, combat.id);

    expect(dto.monster.guardRemainingRounds).toBeNull();
    expect(dto.monster.enraged).toBe(false);
  });
```

If the existing spec has no `startCombatFixture` helper, use whatever fixture
factory the file already provides to obtain a started combat and its `Combat`
row; the two assertions are the point, not the helper's name.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- combat.service`
Expected: FAIL — `Property 'guardRemainingRounds' does not exist on type 'CombatMonsterDto'`

- [ ] **Step 3: Extend the DTO**

In `apps/api/src/combat/combat.service.ts`, add to `CombatMonsterDto`:

```ts
  /** Rounds the monster's raised guard still covers, or null when open. */
  guardRemainingRounds: number | null;
  enraged: boolean;
```

and in `toCombatDto`'s `monster` block, after `pendingIntent`:

```ts
        guardRemainingRounds:
          combat.monsterState.activeGuard?.remainingRounds ?? null,
        enraged: combat.monsterState.enraged ?? false,
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- combat.service`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/api/src/combat/combat.service.ts apps/api/src/combat/combat.service.spec.ts
git commit -m "feat(api): report monster guard and enrage state in the combat DTO"
```

### Task 5: `WorldDiscoveryService` and its entity

**Files:**
- Create: `apps/api/src/world/discovery/character-location-discovery.entity.ts`
- Create: `apps/api/src/world/discovery/world-discovery.service.ts`
- Create: `apps/api/src/world/discovery/world-discovery.module.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/world/discovery/world-discovery.service.spec.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/world/entities/location-connection.entity.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `LocationConnection`, `LocationDefinition`.
- Produces:
  - `LocationConnection.requiresDiscovery: boolean`
  - `class CharacterLocationDiscovery { id, characterId, locationId, discoveredAt }`
  - `WorldDiscoveryService.getDiscoveredLocationIds(characterId): Promise<Set<string>>`
  - `WorldDiscoveryService.discover(characterId, locationKey, manager?): Promise<DiscoveredLocation | null>` where `DiscoveredLocation = { key: string; name: string }`
  - `WorldDiscoveryService.isTravelAllowed(characterId, connection, manager?): Promise<boolean>`
  - `WorldDiscoveryModule` exporting the service

Its own module, not a provider inside `WorldModule`: `WorldModule` already
imports `TravelModule`, and `TravelService` needs this service too. A shared
leaf module is what keeps that from becoming a cycle.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Create `apps/api/src/world/discovery/world-discovery.service.spec.ts`:

- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- world-discovery.service`
Expected: FAIL — `Cannot find module './character-location-discovery.entity'`

Create `apps/api/src/world/discovery/character-location-discovery.entity.ts`:

```ts

  Index,
  JoinColumn,

  character!: Character;

  @ManyToOne(() => LocationDefinition, { onDelete: 'CASCADE' })
  @JoinColumn({ name: 'location_id' })
  location!: LocationDefinition;

```

- [ ] **Step 4: Add the connection column**

In `apps/api/src/world/entities/location-connection.entity.ts`, after `enabled`:

```ts
  /**
   * When true this route only exists for a character who has discovered its
   * target (Playable Slice 0.10 §9). Default false: every route that existed
   * before this slice stays open.
   */

- [ ] **Step 5: Create the service**

Create `apps/api/src/world/discovery/world-discovery.service.ts`:

```ts
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { DataSource, EntityManager } from 'typeorm';
import { LocationConnection } from '../entities/location-connection.entity';

    return manager
      ? manager.getRepository(CharacterLocationDiscovery)
      : this.dataSource.getRepository(CharacterLocationDiscovery);
  }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Create the module**

Create `apps/api/src/world/discovery/world-discovery.module.ts`:

```ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TypeOrmModule } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { LocationDefinition } from '../entities/location-definition.entity';
import { CharacterLocationDiscovery } from './character-location-discovery.entity';

  imports: [
    TypeOrmModule.forFeature([CharacterLocationDiscovery, LocationDefinition]),
  ],
  providers: [WorldDiscoveryService],
  exports: [WorldDiscoveryService],
})
export class WorldDiscoveryModule {}
```

- [ ] **Step 7: Run test to verify it passes**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- world-discovery.service`
Expected: PASS (8 tests)

- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/api/src/world/discovery apps/api/src/world/entities/location-connection.entity.ts
git commit -m "feat(api): track which locations a character has discovered"

### Task 6: Enforce the gate in travel

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/api/src/travel/travel.service.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/travel/travel.module.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/travel/travel.service.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `WorldDiscoveryService.isTravelAllowed` from Task 5.
- Produces: `TravelService` constructor gains a third parameter `worldDiscovery: WorldDiscoveryService`. Every existing test that constructs it directly must be updated.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Add to `apps/api/src/travel/travel.service.spec.ts`:

```ts
  it('refuses a gated route the character has not discovered', async () => {
    const { service, state } = buildService();
    state.connections[0].requiresDiscovery = true;

    await expect(
      service.startTravel(CHARACTER_ID, BURNED_ROAD_ID),
    ).rejects.toBeInstanceOf(TravelDomainError);
    expect(state.travels).toHaveLength(0);
  });

  it('allows a gated route once it has been discovered', async () => {
    const { service, state } = buildService({ discovered: [BURNED_ROAD_ID] });
    state.connections[0].requiresDiscovery = true;

    await expect(
      service.startTravel(CHARACTER_ID, BURNED_ROAD_ID),
    ).resolves.toMatchObject({ status: TravelStatus.TRAVELLING });
  });
```

Extend the file's existing `buildService` helper to accept
`{ discovered?: string[] }` and pass a stub as the new third constructor
argument:

```ts
  const worldDiscovery = {
    isTravelAllowed: (
      _characterId: string,
      connection: { toLocationId: string; requiresDiscovery: boolean },
    ) =>
      Promise.resolve(
        !connection.requiresDiscovery ||
          (options.discovered ?? []).includes(connection.toLocationId),
      ),
  } as unknown as WorldDiscoveryService;
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- travel.service`
Expected: FAIL — the gated route still starts a travel

- [ ] **Step 3: Inject the service and enforce the rule**

In `apps/api/src/travel/travel.service.ts`, add the import and the constructor
parameter:

```ts
import { WorldDiscoveryService } from '../world/discovery/world-discovery.service';
```

```ts
  constructor(
    private readonly dataSource: DataSource,
    @Inject(CLOCK) private readonly clock: Clock,
    private readonly worldDiscovery: WorldDiscoveryService,
  ) {}
```

In `startTravel`, immediately after the existing `if (!connection) { throw
invalidTravelTarget(); }` block:

```ts
      // The map already hides an undiscovered route, but the map is not what
      // decides. A gated target is refused here too, inside the same
      // transaction that locks the character (AGENTS.md §5).
      const allowed = await this.worldDiscovery.isTravelAllowed(
        characterId,
        connection,
        manager,
      );
      if (!allowed) {
        throw invalidTravelTarget();
      }
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Register the module**

In `apps/api/src/travel/travel.module.ts`, add `WorldDiscoveryModule` to
`imports`:

```ts
import { WorldDiscoveryModule } from '../world/discovery/world-discovery.module';
```

```ts
  imports: [
    TypeOrmModule.forFeature([
      Character,
      LocationDefinition,
      LocationConnection,
      Travel,
    ]),
    WorldDiscoveryModule,
  ],
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- travel`
Expected: PASS — including every pre-existing travel test

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/api/src/travel/travel.service.ts apps/api/src/travel/travel.module.ts apps/api/src/travel/travel.service.spec.ts
git commit -m "feat(api): refuse travel down an undiscovered route"
```

### Task 7: Hide the route on the map and discover it from a hotspot

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/api/src/world/local-location.types.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/world/world.service.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/world/world.module.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/world/world.service.spec.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/world/local-location-interaction.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `WorldDiscoveryService` from Task 5.
- Produces:
  - `LocationPointOfInterestContent.discoversLocationKey?: string`
  - `LocationInteractionResultDto.discoveredLocation: DiscoveredLocation | null`
  - `WorldService` constructor gains `worldDiscovery: WorldDiscoveryService` as its final parameter.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Add to `apps/api/src/world/world.service.spec.ts`:

```ts
  it('hides a gated connection until the character has discovered it', async () => {
    const { service } = buildService({
      connections: [
        {
          fromLocationId: BURNED_ROAD_ID,
          toLocationId: ASH_PIT_ID,
          travelDurationSeconds: 20,
          ambushChance: '0.1500',
          enabled: true,
          requiresDiscovery: true,
          toLocation: ashPitLocation,
        } as unknown as LocationConnection,
      ],
    });

    const location = await service.getCurrentLocation(CHARACTER_ID);

    expect(location.connections).toHaveLength(0);
  });

  it('shows a gated connection once it has been discovered', async () => {
    const { service } = buildService({
      discovered: [ASH_PIT_ID],
      connections: [
        {
          fromLocationId: BURNED_ROAD_ID,
          toLocationId: ASH_PIT_ID,
          travelDurationSeconds: 20,
          ambushChance: '0.1500',
          enabled: true,
          requiresDiscovery: true,
          toLocation: ashPitLocation,
        } as unknown as LocationConnection,
      ],
    });

    const location = await service.getCurrentLocation(CHARACTER_ID);

    expect(location.connections).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(location.connections[0].targetLocation.key).toBe('ash-pit');
  });
```

Add to `apps/api/src/world/local-location-interaction.spec.ts`:

```ts
  it('discovers the route the hotspot points at', async () => {
    const { service, discover } = buildService({
      pointsOfInterest: [
        {
          key: 'inspect-watchpost',
          title: 'The Watchpost',
          actionLabel: 'Inspect',
          type: 'INVESTIGATE',
          iconKey: 'investigate',
          xPercent: 50,
          yPercent: 50,
          enabled: true,
          resultTitle: 'The Watchpost',
          resultText: 'Fresh tracks lead east.',
          discoversLocationKey: 'ash-pit',
        },
      ],
    });

    const result = await service.runLocalInteraction(
      CHARACTER_ID,
      'inspect-watchpost',
    );

    expect(discover).toHaveBeenCalledWith(CHARACTER_ID, 'ash-pit');
    expect(result.discoveredLocation).toEqual({
      key: 'ash-pit',
      name: 'Ash Pit',
    });
  });

  it('reports no discovery the second time the hotspot is used', async () => {
    const { service } = buildService({
      alreadyDiscovered: true,
      pointsOfInterest: [
        {
          key: 'inspect-watchpost',
          title: 'The Watchpost',
          type: 'INVESTIGATE',
          iconKey: 'investigate',
          xPercent: 50,
          yPercent: 50,
          enabled: true,
          resultText: 'Fresh tracks lead east.',
          discoversLocationKey: 'ash-pit',
        },
      ],
    });

    const result = await service.runLocalInteraction(
      CHARACTER_ID,
      'inspect-watchpost',
    );

    expect(result.discoveredLocation).toBeNull();
    expect(result.text).toBe('Fresh tracks lead east.');
  });

  it('reports no discovery for a hotspot that reveals nothing', async () => {
    const { service, discover } = buildService({
      pointsOfInterest: [
        {
          key: 'search-quarters',
          title: 'Guard Quarters',
          type: 'SEARCH',
          iconKey: 'search',
          xPercent: 20,
          yPercent: 60,
          enabled: true,
          resultText: 'Nothing but ash.',
        },
      ],
    });

    const result = await service.runLocalInteraction(
      CHARACTER_ID,
      'search-quarters',
    );

    expect(discover).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
    expect(result.discoveredLocation).toBeNull();
  });
```

In both spec files, extend the existing service factory to build and pass a
`WorldDiscoveryService` stub as the final constructor argument:

```ts
  const discover = jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(
    options.alreadyDiscovered ? null : { key: 'ash-pit', name: 'Ash Pit' },
  );
  const worldDiscovery = {
    discover,
    isTravelAllowed: (
      _characterId: string,
      connection: { toLocationId: string; requiresDiscovery: boolean },
    ) =>
      Promise.resolve(
        !connection.requiresDiscovery ||
          (options.discovered ?? []).includes(connection.toLocationId),
      ),
  } as unknown as WorldDiscoveryService;
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- world`
Expected: FAIL — `Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'discoversLocationKey' does not exist`

- [ ] **Step 3: Extend the content and transport types**

In `apps/api/src/world/local-location.types.ts`, add to
`LocationPointOfInterestContent`:

```ts
  /**
   * Names a location this hotspot reveals (Playable Slice 0.10 §9). Setting it
   * turns a read-only reveal into a piece of world progress, which is why the
   * interaction endpoint writes as well as reads.
   */
  discoversLocationKey?: string;
```

and to `LocationInteractionResultDto`:

```ts
  /**
   * Set only on the interaction that reveals a route for the first time, so
   * the UI can say so once instead of on every repeat.
   */
  discoveredLocation: { key: string; name: string } | null;
```

`toPointOfInterestDto` needs no change: `discoversLocationKey` is server-only,
exactly like `resultText`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Wire the service**

In `apps/api/src/world/world.service.ts`:

```ts
import { WorldDiscoveryService } from './discovery/world-discovery.service';
```

Add the constructor parameter after `locationMonsters`:

```ts
    private readonly worldDiscovery: WorldDiscoveryService,
```

Replace the `connections` mapping in `getCurrentLocation` so the gate is applied
before the map ever sees the route. Load the connections, then:

```ts
    const visibleConnections: LocationConnection[] = [];
    for (const connection of connections) {
      if (await this.worldDiscovery.isTravelAllowed(characterId, connection)) {
        visibleConnections.push(connection);
      }
    }
```

and map `visibleConnections` instead of `connections.filter(...)` in the
response.

In `runLocalInteraction`, after the `poi` guard and before the return:

```ts
    // A hotspot that reveals a route writes before it speaks. Idempotent by
    // the unique pair, so a second click simply reports nothing new.
    const discoveredLocation = poi.discoversLocationKey
      ? await this.worldDiscovery.discover(
          characterId,
          poi.discoversLocationKey,
        )
      : null;
```

and add `discoveredLocation,` to the returned object.

- [ ] **Step 5: Register the module**

In `apps/api/src/world/world.module.ts` add `WorldDiscoveryModule` to `imports`:

```ts
import { WorldDiscoveryModule } from './discovery/world-discovery.module';
```

```ts
    TravelModule,
    WorldDiscoveryModule,
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- world`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/api/src/world/local-location.types.ts apps/api/src/world/world.service.ts apps/api/src/world/world.module.ts apps/api/src/world/world.service.spec.ts apps/api/src/world/local-location-interaction.spec.ts
git commit -m "feat(api): reveal the ash pit route from the watchpost hotspot"
```

### Task 8: Trade goods, loot tables and exchange rules

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/item.constants.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/item-content.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/npc-content.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `item()` and `entry()` helpers in `item-content.ts`, `SeedExchangeRule` in `npc-content.ts`.
- Produces: item keys `scorched-hide`, `raider-warband-mark`; loot-table constants `RAIDER_SCOUT_LOOT_TABLE_ID`, `BURNED_HOUND_LOOT_TABLE_ID`, `RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID`, `RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID`; four new `LOOT_TABLES` rows and their entries; two new `EXCHANGE_RULES`.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Add to `apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.spec.ts`:

```ts
  it('gives each new trade good the carrying category it belongs to', async () => {
    const { repositories } = await runSeed();
    const items = repositories.get(ItemDefinition)!.rows;

    const hide = items.find((row) => row.key === 'scorched-hide');
    const mark = items.find((row) => row.key === 'raider-warband-mark');

    expect(hide?.lootCategory).toBe('HIDE');
    expect(mark?.lootCategory).toBe('RAIDER_TROPHY');
  });

  it('lets Borin buy both watchpost trade goods', async () => {
    const { repositories } = await runSeed();
    const rules = repositories.get(ExchangeRule)!.rows;

    const hideRule = rules.find(
      (row) => row.inputItemId === ITEM_IDS['scorched-hide'],
    );
    const markRule = rules.find(
      (row) => row.inputItemId === ITEM_IDS['raider-warband-mark'],
    );

    expect(hideRule).toMatchObject({ silverReward: 12, regionReputationReward: 4 });
    expect(markRule).toMatchObject({ silverReward: 20, regionReputationReward: 7 });
  });

  it('pays more for watchpost goods than for road goods', async () => {
    const { repositories } = await runSeed();
    const rules = repositories.get(ExchangeRule)!.rows;
    const silverFor = (key: keyof typeof ITEM_IDS) =>
      rules.find((row) => row.inputItemId === ITEM_IDS[key])?.silverReward;

    // The longer trip has to pay, or §10's loop has no pull (slice §6).
    expect(silverFor('scorched-hide')).toBeGreaterThan(silverFor('tough-hide')!);
    expect(silverFor('raider-warband-mark')).toBeGreaterThan(
      silverFor('bandit-insignia')!,
    );
  });

  it('guarantees the captain trophy and offers its focused drop', async () => {
    const { repositories } = await runSeed();
    const entries = repositories
      .get(LootTableEntry)!
      .rows.filter((row) => row.lootTableId === RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID);

    expect(
      entries.find((row) => row.itemDefinitionId === ITEM_IDS['raider-warband-mark'])
        ?.dropChance,
    ).toBe('1.0000');
    expect(
      entries.find((row) => row.itemDefinitionId === ITEM_IDS['borderwatch-sigil'])
        ?.dropChance,
    ).toBe('0.2000');
  });

  it('leaves the road bandit loot table untouched', async () => {
    const { repositories } = await runSeed();
    const entries = repositories
      .get(LootTableEntry)!
      .rows.filter((row) => row.lootTableId === ROAD_BANDIT_LOOT_TABLE_ID);

    // This slice adds a pool entry for the bandit, not a rebalance
    // (AGENTS.md §39).
    expect(entries).toHaveLength(4);
    expect(
      entries.find((row) => row.itemDefinitionId === ITEM_IDS['bandit-blade'])
        ?.dropChance,
    ).toBe('0.1800');
  });
```

Use whatever `runSeed()` / repository-lookup helper the file already defines;
the assertions are the point.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- vertical-slice.seed`
Expected: FAIL — `'scorched-hide' is not assignable to ItemKey`

- [ ] **Step 3: Add the item and loot-table ids**

In `apps/api/src/database/seeds/item.constants.ts`, add to `ITEM_IDS` after
`'charred-raider-insignia'`:

```ts
  'scorched-hide': '50000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000010',
  'raider-warband-mark': '50000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000011',
```

and append the four table ids:

```ts
// Playable Slice 0.10 §6: one table per Watchpost enemy, same rule as the
// Burned Road -- each enemy owns its guaranteed trade good.
export const RAIDER_SCOUT_LOOT_TABLE_ID =
  '60000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000005';
export const BURNED_HOUND_LOOT_TABLE_ID =
  '60000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000006';
export const RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID =
  '60000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000007';
export const RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID =
  '60000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000008';
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Add the trade goods**

In `apps/api/src/database/seeds/item-content.ts`, import the four new table ids
and append to `ITEM_DEFINITIONS`:

```ts
  // Watchpost trade goods (Playable Slice 0.10 §6). One per carrying
  // category, so both the Hide Bag and the Trophy Pouch matter at this
  // location and a player who owns neither runs into the capacity of 1.
  item(
    'scorched-hide',
    'Scorched Hide',
    'Hound hide burned hard as bark, the cracks in it still warm.',
    ItemType.TRADE_GOOD,
    null,
    ItemRarity.COMMON,
    {},
    LootCategory.HIDE,
  ),
  item(
    'raider-warband-mark',
    'Raider Warband Mark',
    'A watchpost tally-token, re-stamped with the mark of the band that took it.',
    ItemType.TROPHY,
    null,
    ItemRarity.COMMON,
    {},
    LootCategory.RAIDER_TROPHY,
  ),
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Add the loot tables**

Append to `LOOT_TABLES` in the same file:

```ts
  {
    id: RAIDER_SCOUT_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    key: 'raider-scout-loot',
    name: 'Raider Scout Loot',
  },
  {
    id: BURNED_HOUND_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    key: 'burned-hound-loot',
    name: 'Burned Hound Loot',
  },
  {
    id: RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    key: 'raider-veteran-loot',
    name: 'Raider Veteran Loot',
  },
  {
    id: RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    key: 'raider-captain-loot',
    name: 'Raider Captain Loot',
  },
```

and to `LOOT_TABLE_ENTRIES`:

```ts
  // Watchpost (Playable Slice 0.10 §7). The Tier-1 pieces already exist in
  // content; what this location changes is how often they show up. The
  // Charred Captain's Pendant stays out -- it belongs to the Slice 0.11 boss,
  // not to this elite.
  entry(RAIDER_SCOUT_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'raider-warband-mark', 1, '0.6000'),
  entry(RAIDER_SCOUT_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'bandit-blade', 2, '0.2500'),
  entry(RAIDER_SCOUT_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'bandit-hood', 3, '0.1800'),
  entry(BURNED_HOUND_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'scorched-hide', 1, '0.6000'),
  entry(BURNED_HOUND_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'ash-boots', 2, '0.1500'),
  entry(RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'raider-warband-mark', 1, '0.7000'),
  entry(RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'raider-gloves', 2, '0.1500'),
  entry(RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'reinforced-leather-jacket', 3, '0.2000'),
  entry(RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'guardsman-legs', 4, '0.2200'),
  entry(RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'raider-warband-mark', 1, '1.0000'),
  entry(RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'reinforced-leather-jacket', 2, '0.3000'),
  entry(RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'guardsman-legs', 3, '0.3000'),
  entry(RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID, 'borderwatch-sigil', 4, '0.2000'),
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Add the exchange rules**

Append to `EXCHANGE_RULES` in `apps/api/src/database/seeds/npc-content.ts`:

```ts
  // Watchpost goods (Playable Slice 0.10 §10). Priced above the road tier so
  // the longer trip pays, and below the rare Charred Raider Insignia so the
  // rare drop stays the best thing in the region.
  {
    profileId: BORIN_EXCHANGE_PROFILE_ID,
    inputItemId: ITEM_IDS['scorched-hide'],
    inputQuantity: 1,
    factionId: BORDER_GUARD_FACTION_ID,
    silverReward: 12,
    regionReputationReward: 4,
    renownMilestoneKey: FIRST_TRADE_MILESTONE_KEY,
    conditions: [],
    sortOrder: 5,
    enabled: true,
  },
  {
    profileId: BORIN_EXCHANGE_PROFILE_ID,
    inputItemId: ITEM_IDS['raider-warband-mark'],
    inputQuantity: 1,
    factionId: BORDER_GUARD_FACTION_ID,
    silverReward: 20,
    regionReputationReward: 7,
    renownMilestoneKey: FIRST_TRADE_MILESTONE_KEY,
    conditions: [],
    sortOrder: 6,
    enabled: true,
  },
```

- [ ] **Step 7: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- vertical-slice.seed`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/api/src/database/seeds/item.constants.ts apps/api/src/database/seeds/item-content.ts apps/api/src/database/seeds/npc-content.ts apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.spec.ts
git commit -m "feat(seed): add the watchpost trade goods and their loot tables"

### Task 9: Seed the locations, monsters and encounter pool

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.constants.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/local-location.content.ts`
- Modify: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.ts`
- Test: `apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: loot-table constants from Task 8, `MonsterAbilities` from Tasks 2–3, `LocalLocationContent` from `local-location.content.ts`.
- Produces: constants `ABANDONED_WATCHPOST_ID`, `ASH_PIT_ID`, `RAIDER_SCOUT_MONSTER_ID`, `BURNED_HOUND_MONSTER_ID`, `RAIDER_VETERAN_MONSTER_ID`, `RAIDER_CAPTAIN_MONSTER_ID`; exports `ABANDONED_WATCHPOST_LOCAL_CONTENT`, `ASH_PIT_LOCAL_CONTENT`.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Add to `apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.spec.ts`:

```ts
  it('seeds the watchpost as a huntable outpost', async () => {
    const { repositories } = await runSeed();
    const locations = repositories.get(LocationDefinition)!.rows;

    const watchpost = locations.find(
      (row) => row.key === 'abandoned-watchpost',
    );

    expect(watchpost).toMatchObject({
      locationType: 'OUTPOST',
      huntingEnabled: true,
      isSafe: false,
      regionKey: 'ashen-fields',
    });
  });

  it('connects the burned road and the watchpost both ways without a gate', async () => {
    const { repositories } = await runSeed();
    const connections = repositories.get(LocationConnection)!.rows;

    const outbound = connections.find(

```

- [ ] **Step 5: Seed the locations and connections**

In `apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.ts`, extend the imports and
append two entries to the `locations` array:

```ts
    {
      id: ABANDONED_WATCHPOST_ID,
      key: 'abandoned-watchpost',
      name: 'Abandoned Watchpost',
      description:
        'A border tower the Watch gave up on. Whoever holds it now is watching the road, not guarding it.',
      regionKey: 'ashen-fields',
      minRecommendedLevel: 2,
      maxRecommendedLevel: 3,
      dangerLevel: 2,
      isSafe: false,
      huntingEnabled: true,
      artworkPath: '/images/backgrounds/Wachturm.png',
      ...ABANDONED_WATCHPOST_LOCAL_CONTENT,
    },
    {
      id: ASH_PIT_ID,
      key: 'ash-pit',
      name: 'Ash Pit',
      description:
        'The old ash excavation east of the watchpost, cut in terraces and still being worked by someone.',
      regionKey: 'ashen-fields',
      minRecommendedLevel: 3,
      maxRecommendedLevel: 4,
      dangerLevel: 3,
      isSafe: false,
      huntingEnabled: false,
      artworkPath: '/images/backgrounds/Aschengrube.png',
      ...ASH_PIT_LOCAL_CONTENT,
    },
```

Resolve the ids after the loop, beside the existing two:

```ts
  const watchpostId =
    locationIds.get('abandoned-watchpost') ?? ABANDONED_WATCHPOST_ID;
  const ashPitId = locationIds.get('ash-pit') ?? ASH_PIT_ID;
```

Add four rows to the existing `connectionRepository.upsert` array. Every
pre-existing row needs `requiresDiscovery: false` added explicitly so the upsert
writes the column on a re-seed:

```ts
      {
        fromLocationId: burnedRoadId,
        toLocationId: watchpostId,
        travelDurationSeconds: 15,
        ambushChance: '0.1000',
        enabled: true,
        requiresDiscovery: false,
      },
      {
        fromLocationId: watchpostId,
        toLocationId: burnedRoadId,
        travelDurationSeconds: 15,
        ambushChance: '0.1000',
        enabled: true,
        requiresDiscovery: false,
      },
      // The one gated route in the game (slice §9). Discovery, not a level,
      // is what opens it -- and the way back is never gated, so a character
      // who walked in can always walk out.
      {
        fromLocationId: watchpostId,
        toLocationId: ashPitId,
        travelDurationSeconds: 20,
        ambushChance: '0.1500',
        enabled: true,
        requiresDiscovery: true,
      },
      {
        fromLocationId: ashPitId,
        toLocationId: watchpostId,
        travelDurationSeconds: 20,
        ambushChance: '0.1500',
        enabled: true,
        requiresDiscovery: false,
      },
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Seed the monsters**

Append to the `monsters` array in the same file:

```ts
    {
      id: RAIDER_SCOUT_MONSTER_ID,
      key: 'raider-scout',
      name: 'Raider Scout',

      armor: 3,
      flavorText:
        'Light on their feet and already backing away from the fight they started.',
      // The farming target: no mechanic at all, so the pool has somewhere
      // for a player to breathe between the harder fights (slice §5).
      abilities: {},
      artworkPath: '/images/monsters/raider-scout.png',
      iconPath: '/images/combat/icons/raider-scout-128.png',
      lootTableId: RAIDER_SCOUT_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    },
    {
      id: BURNED_HOUND_MONSTER_ID,
      key: 'burned-hound',
      name: 'Burned Hound',
      monsterCategory: MonsterCategory.BEAST,
      level: 3,
      maxHp: 80,

      armor: 2,
      flavorText:
        'The fire took its coat and left the cracks glowing underneath.',
      // Bleeding on a tighter cadence than the road hound, plus a rage that
      // punishes a player who lets the fight run long (slice §5).
      abilities: {
        bleed: { roundInterval: 2, damagePerRound: 6, durationRounds: 2 },
        enrage: { hpThresholdPercent: 35, damageMultiplier: 1.4 },
      },
      artworkPath: '/images/monsters/burned-hound.png',
      iconPath: '/images/combat/icons/burned-hound-128.png',
      lootTableId: BURNED_HOUND_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    },
    {
      id: RAIDER_VETERAN_MONSTER_ID,
      key: 'raider-veteran',
      name: 'Raider Veteran',
      monsterCategory: MonsterCategory.HUMANOID,
      level: 3,
      maxHp: 120,
      attack: 14,
      armor: 10,
      flavorText:
        'Plated, patient, and entirely willing to wait behind their guard.',
      // The fight this location is built around: the telegraph the player
      // already knows, plus a guard that answers to the same Shield Bash.
      // Intervals 3 and 4 so the two only collide every twelfth round.
      abilities: {
        telegraph: { roundInterval: 3, damageMultiplier: 1.6 },
        guard: { roundInterval: 4, armorBonus: 10, durationRounds: 2 },
      },
      artworkPath: '/images/monsters/raider-veteran.png',
      iconPath: '/images/combat/icons/raider-veteran-128.png',
      lootTableId: RAIDER_VETERAN_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    },
    {
      id: RAIDER_CAPTAIN_MONSTER_ID,
      key: 'raider-captain',
      name: 'Raider Captain',
      monsterCategory: MonsterCategory.HUMANOID,
      level: 4,
      maxHp: 160,
      attack: 17,
      armor: 12,
      flavorText:
        'Whoever gave the order to watch this road is standing in front of you.',
      // The elite (slice §5): the veteran's two mechanics on tighter
      // cadences and better stats, not a third subsystem. Deliberately not
      // the Captain of the Ashen Band -- that boss belongs to Slice 0.11.
      abilities: {
        telegraph: { roundInterval: 2, damageMultiplier: 1.7 },
        guard: { roundInterval: 3, armorBonus: 12, durationRounds: 2 },
      },
      artworkPath: '/images/monsters/raider-captain.png',
      iconPath: '/images/combat/icons/raider-captain-128.png',
      lootTableId: RAIDER_CAPTAIN_LOOT_TABLE_ID,
    },
```

- [ ] **Step 7: Seed the encounter pool**

After the existing Burned Road `locationMonsterRepository.upsert`, add:

```ts
  // Watchpost roster (slice §4). The Road Bandit is reused deliberately: it
  // bridges the two locations and keeps the Raider Insignia economy
  // connected. Its definition and loot table are untouched.
  const watchpostPool: ReadonlyArray<{
    key: string;
    weight: number;
    encounterType: EncounterType;
  }> = [
    { key: 'raider-scout', weight: 35, encounterType: EncounterType.NORMAL },
    { key: 'burned-hound', weight: 28, encounterType: EncounterType.NORMAL },
    { key: 'road-bandit', weight: 20, encounterType: EncounterType.NORMAL },
    { key: 'raider-veteran', weight: 14, encounterType: EncounterType.NORMAL },
    { key: 'raider-captain', weight: 3, encounterType: EncounterType.RARE },
  ];

  await locationMonsterRepository.upsert(
    watchpostPool.map(({ key, weight, encounterType }) => ({
      locationId: watchpostId,
      monsterId: monsterIds.get(key) as string,
      weight,
      encounterType,
      enabled: true,
    })),
    ['locationId', 'monsterId'],
  );
```

- [ ] **Step 8: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api -- vertical-slice.seed`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 9: Run the whole API suite**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/api`
Expected: PASS — no regressions anywhere

- [ ] **Step 10: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.constants.ts apps/api/src/database/seeds/local-location.content.ts apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.ts apps/api/src/database/seeds/vertical-slice.seed.spec.ts
git commit -m "feat(seed): open the abandoned watchpost and the route beyond it"
```

### Task 10: Derive the web assets for the new content

**Files:**
- Create: `tools/derive-monster-assets.ps1`
- Create (generated, committed): `apps/web/public/images/monsters/{raider-scout,raider-veteran,burned-hound,raider-captain}.png`, their `runtime/*-560.jpg`, `apps/web/public/images/combat/sprites/*.png`, `apps/web/public/images/combat/icons/*-128.png`
- Create (copied): `apps/web/public/images/backgrounds/{Wachturm.png,Aschengrube.png}` and `backgrounds/runtime/{Wachturm-960.jpg,Aschengrube-960.jpg}`
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/shared/monster-artwork.ts`
- Test: `apps/web/src/app/shared/monster-artwork.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: art committed in `2435d25`.
- Produces: the four asset paths per monster key, registered in `monster-artwork.ts`.

Note the deliberate crossing (design D7): the file named `raider-scout.png`
depicts the heavier plated figure and becomes the **Veteran**; `raider-veteran.png`
depicts the leaner one and becomes the **Scout**.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Add to `apps/web/src/app/shared/monster-artwork.spec.ts`:

```ts
describe('watchpost monsters', () => {
  const keys = ['raider-scout', 'raider-veteran', 'burned-hound', 'raider-captain'];

  it('has a cutout for every watchpost monster', () => {
    for (const key of keys) {
      expect(monsterCutoutPath(key)).toBeDefined();
    }
  });

  it('has an icon for every watchpost monster', () => {
    for (const key of keys) {
      expect(monsterIconPath(key)).toBeDefined();
    }
  });

  it('has a runtime derivative for every watchpost artwork', () => {
    for (const key of keys) {
      expect(runtimeMonsterArtworkPath(`/images/monsters/${key}.png`)).toBeDefined();
    }
  });

  it('scales the captain larger than the hound', () => {
    // A hulking elite and a low-slung dog must not share a silhouette height.
    expect(combatMonsterSpriteScale('raider-captain')).toBeGreaterThan(
      combatMonsterSpriteScale('burned-hound'),
    );
  });
});
```

Add `combatMonsterSpriteScale` to the file's imports.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`
Expected: FAIL — `monsterCutoutPath('raider-scout')` is `undefined`

- [ ] **Step 3: Write the derivation script**

Create `tools/derive-monster-assets.ps1`:

```powershell
# tools/derive-monster-assets.ps1
# Derives the web assets each monster needs from the hand-made art in
# art/enemies and art/backgrounds.
#
# Per monster it writes four files:
#   apps/web/public/images/monsters/<key>.png            full painted artwork
#   apps/web/public/images/monsters/runtime/<key>-560.jpg downscaled for the web
#   apps/web/public/images/combat/sprites/<key>-<h>.png  background-free cutout
#   apps/web/public/images/combat/icons/<key>-128.png    medallion icon
#
# The generated files are committed, so this only needs re-running when the
# source art changes. Re-runnable: it overwrites its own output and touches
# nothing else.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the script**

Run: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File tools/derive-monster-assets.ps1`
Expected: 22 "wrote …" lines, no errors.

Then open the four generated `*-128.png` icons and confirm each frames the
monster's head. If one is off, adjust that monster's `cropX` / `cropY` /
`cropSize` in the script and re-run — the script is re-runnable by design.

- [ ] **Step 5: Register the assets**

In `apps/web/src/app/shared/monster-artwork.ts`, add to each map:

```ts
  '/images/monsters/raider-scout.png': '/images/monsters/runtime/raider-scout-560.jpg',
  '/images/monsters/raider-veteran.png': '/images/monsters/runtime/raider-veteran-560.jpg',
  '/images/monsters/burned-hound.png': '/images/monsters/runtime/burned-hound-560.jpg',
  '/images/monsters/raider-captain.png': '/images/monsters/runtime/raider-captain-560.jpg',
```

```ts
  'raider-scout': '/images/combat/sprites/raider-scout-620.png',
  'raider-veteran': '/images/combat/sprites/raider-veteran-620.png',
  'burned-hound': '/images/combat/sprites/burned-hound-760.png',
  'raider-captain': '/images/combat/sprites/raider-captain-620.png',
```

```ts
  'raider-scout': '/images/combat/icons/raider-scout-128.png',
  'raider-veteran': '/images/combat/icons/raider-veteran-128.png',
  'burned-hound': '/images/combat/icons/burned-hound-128.png',
  'raider-captain': '/images/combat/icons/raider-captain-128.png',
```

```ts
  'raider-scout': 0.78,
  'raider-veteran': 0.84,
  'burned-hound': 0.6,
  'raider-captain': 0.9,
```

Also register the two new backgrounds in
`apps/web/src/app/features/world/location-page/location-page.component.ts`:

```ts
  '/images/backgrounds/Wachturm.png': '/images/backgrounds/runtime/Wachturm-960.jpg',
  '/images/backgrounds/Aschengrube.png': '/images/backgrounds/runtime/Aschengrube-960.jpg',
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Run test to verify it passes**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add tools/derive-monster-assets.ps1 apps/web/public/images apps/web/src/app/shared/monster-artwork.ts apps/web/src/app/shared/monster-artwork.spec.ts apps/web/src/app/features/world/location-page/location-page.component.ts

### Task 11: Show guard and enrage in combat

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/core/api/game-api.models.ts`
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.ts`
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.html`
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.scss`
- Test: `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `CombatMonsterDto.guardRemainingRounds` / `.enraged` from Task 4; event types from Tasks 2–3.
- Produces: `CombatMonster.guardRemainingRounds: number | null`, `CombatMonster.enraged: boolean`, `CombatEventType` union extended with `'GUARD_RAISED' | 'GUARD_ENDED' | 'ENRAGED'`.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Add to `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.spec.ts`:

The file already has an `activeCombat` fixture object and an
`async function setup(combat)` that returns the `ComponentFixture`. It runs on
**vitest** (`vi.fn`), not Jasmine. First add the two new fields to
`activeCombat.monster` so the existing tests still compile:

```ts
    pendingIntent: null,
    guardRemainingRounds: null,
    enraged: false,
```

Then add the tests inside the existing `describe`:

```ts
  const veteran: Combat = {
    ...activeCombat,
    monster: { ...activeCombat.monster, name: 'Raider Veteran' },
  };

  it('announces a raised guard with the rounds it still covers', async () => {
    const fixture = await setup({
      ...veteran,
      monster: { ...veteran.monster, guardRemainingRounds: 2 },
    });

    const banner: HTMLElement | null = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector(
      '[data-combat-guard]',
    );
    expect(banner?.textContent).toContain('Raider Veteran');
    expect(banner?.textContent).toContain('2');
  });

  it('says nothing about a guard when the monster is open', async () => {
    const fixture = await setup(activeCombat);

    expect(
      fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('[data-combat-guard]'),
    ).toBeNull();
  });

  it('marks an enraged monster', async () => {
    const fixture = await setup({
      ...activeCombat,
      monster: { ...activeCombat.monster, enraged: true },
    });

    expect(
      fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('[data-combat-enraged]'),
    ).not.toBeNull();
  });

  it('reads the new events back in the log', async () => {
    const fixture = await setup({
      ...veteran,
      events: [
        { round: 1, sequence: 1, type: 'GUARD_RAISED', source: 'MONSTER', target: 'MONSTER', amount: 2 },
        { round: 1, sequence: 2, type: 'ENRAGED', source: 'MONSTER', target: 'MONSTER' },
        { round: 2, sequence: 1, type: 'GUARD_ENDED', source: 'MONSTER', target: 'MONSTER' },
      ],
    });

    const log = (
      fixture.nativeElement as HTMLElement
    ).querySelector('.combat__log')?.textContent;
    expect(log).toContain('Raider Veteran raises its guard.');
    expect(log).toContain('Raider Veteran turns savage.');
    expect(log).toContain("Raider Veteran's guard drops.");
  });
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`
Expected: FAIL — `'guardRemainingRounds' does not exist in type 'CombatMonster'`

- [ ] **Step 3: Extend the client models**

In `apps/web/src/app/core/api/game-api.models.ts`, add to `CombatMonster`:

```ts
  /** Rounds the monster's raised guard still covers, or null when open. */
  guardRemainingRounds: number | null;
  enraged: boolean;
```

and add `| 'GUARD_RAISED' | 'GUARD_ENDED' | 'ENRAGED'` to the `CombatEventType`
union.

Both fields are required, matching the API DTO. Four spec files build a
`CombatMonster` literal and will stop compiling until each gets
`guardRemainingRounds: null, enraged: false` added to its fixture:

```text
apps/web/src/app/core/resume-combat.spec.ts
apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.spec.ts
apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat.store.spec.ts
apps/web/src/app/features/hunting/hunt-page/hunt-page.component.spec.ts
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Add the component logic**

In `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.ts`, add
two accessors next to `monsterIntentLabel`:

```ts
  protected monsterGuardLabel(): string | null {
    const combat = this.displayed();
    const rounds = combat?.monster.guardRemainingRounds;
    if (!combat || !rounds) {
      return null;
    }
    const roundWord = rounds === 1 ? 'round' : 'rounds';
    return `${combat.monster.name} is covering — ${rounds} ${roundWord}. Shield Bash breaks it.`;
  }

  protected monsterIsEnraged(): boolean {
    return this.displayed()?.monster.enraged ?? false;
  }
```

and add three branches to the log formatter, beside the `TELEGRAPH` branch:

```ts
    if (event.type === 'GUARD_RAISED') {
      return `${monsterName} raises its guard.`;
    }

    if (event.type === 'GUARD_ENDED') {
      return `${monsterName}'s guard drops.`;
    }

    if (event.type === 'ENRAGED') {
      return `${monsterName} turns savage.`;
    }
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Add the markup**

In `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.html`,
below the existing telegraph paragraph:

```html
      @if (monsterGuardLabel(); as guard) {
        <p class="combat__guard" data-combat-guard role="status">{{ guard }}</p>
      }

      @if (monsterIsEnraged()) {
        <p class="combat__enraged" data-combat-enraged role="status">
          {{ combat.monster.name }} is enraged.
        </p>
      }
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Style the two banners**

In `apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page/combat-page.component.scss`,
beside the existing `.combat__telegraph` rule, add two variants that reuse its
shape rather than inventing a new one. Copy the `.combat__telegraph`
declarations and change only the accent colour: a cold steel tone for
`.combat__guard`, the existing danger accent for `.combat__enraged`. Take both
colours from the design tokens the file already imports — do not introduce new
hex values.

- [ ] **Step 7: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/web/src/app/core/api/game-api.models.ts apps/web/src/app/features/combat/combat-page
git commit -m "feat(web): show monster guard and rage on the combat screen"
```

### Task 12: Announce the discovered route in the interaction panel

**Files:**
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/core/api/game-api.models.ts`
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/features/world/location-interaction-panel/location-interaction-panel.component.ts`
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/features/world/location-interaction-panel/location-interaction-panel.component.html`
- Modify: `apps/web/src/app/features/world/local-location.store.ts`
- Test: `apps/web/src/app/features/world/location-interaction-panel/location-interaction-panel.component.spec.ts`

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `LocationInteractionResultDto.discoveredLocation` from Task 7.
- Produces: `LocationInteractionResult.discoveredLocation: { key: string; name: string } | null` in the client model.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Add to
`apps/web/src/app/features/world/location-interaction-panel/location-interaction-panel.component.spec.ts`:

The file has an `async function setup(inputs)` returning `{ fixture, closed,
element }`, and its `result` parameter is typed inline as
`{ interactionKey: string; title: string; text: string; img?: string }`. Add
`discoveredLocation?: { key: string; name: string } | null;` to that inline type,
then add the tests inside the existing `describe`:

```ts
  it('says so when the interaction revealed a route', async () => {
    const { element } = await setup({
      result: {
        interactionKey: 'inspect-watchpost',
        title: 'The Watchpost',
        text: 'Fresh tracks lead east.',
        discoveredLocation: { key: 'ash-pit', name: 'Ash Pit' },
      },
    });

    const banner = element.querySelector('[data-discovered-location]');
    expect(banner?.textContent).toContain('Ash Pit');
  });

  it('stays quiet when nothing new was revealed', async () => {
    const { element } = await setup({
      result: {
        interactionKey: 'search-guard-quarters',
        title: 'Guard Quarters',
        text: 'Nothing but ash.',
        discoveredLocation: null,
      },
    });

    expect(element.querySelector('[data-discovered-location]')).toBeNull();
  });
```


- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`
Expected: FAIL — `'discoveredLocation' does not exist in type 'LocationInteractionResult'`

- [ ] **Step 3: Extend the client model**

In `apps/web/src/app/core/api/game-api.models.ts`, add to
`LocationInteractionResult`:

```ts
  /**
   * Set only the first time an interaction reveals a route. Optional on the
   * client although the API always sends it: every existing test fixture
   * builds this object literally, and a required field would break them all
   * for no gain.
   */
  discoveredLocation?: { key: string; name: string } | null;
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Render the banner**

In
`apps/web/src/app/features/world/location-interaction-panel/location-interaction-panel.component.html`,
below the result text:

The panel uses a classic `@Input() result: LocationInteractionResult | null`,
not a signal input, so the template reads the property directly:

```html
  @if (result?.discoveredLocation; as discovered) {
    <p class="interaction__discovery" data-discovered-location role="status">
      New route discovered: {{ discovered.name }}.
    </p>
  }
```

Style `.interaction__discovery` in the component's SCSS using the accent token
the panel already uses for emphasis. Do not add a new colour.

- [ ] **Step 5: Refresh the map after a discovery**

In `apps/web/src/app/features/world/local-location.store.ts`, after an
interaction resolves, reload the current location when the result carries a
discovery — the new route has to appear without a manual refresh:

```ts
    if (result.discoveredLocation) {
      // The connection list is server-filtered, so a fresh reveal only shows
      // up after the location is re-read.
      await this.loadCurrentLocation();
    }
```

Use whatever the store's existing reload method is called.

- [ ] **Step 6: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 7: Run the whole web suite**

Run: `npm test --workspace=@ashen-realms/web`
Expected: PASS

- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**

```bash
git add apps/web/src/app/core/api/game-api.models.ts apps/web/src/app/features/world
git commit -m "feat(web): announce a newly discovered route"
```

---

### Task 13: Verify end-to-end, build, and document

**Files:**
- Create: `docs/playable-slices/0.10-Abandoned-Watchpost-implementation-notes.md`
- Modify: `docs/playable-slices/0.10-Abandoned-Watchpost.md` (tick the acceptance criteria)

**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: everything above.
- Produces: a record of what was built and where it deviates from the slice document.

- [ ] **Step 1: Run the migration and seed against a real database**

```bash
npm run db:migrate
npm run db:seed
npm run db:seed
```

Expected: the migration applies cleanly; the seed runs twice with no duplicate-key
error and no duplicated rows (AGENTS §8).

- [ ] **Step 2: Walk the loop in the browser**

Start the app (`npm run dev:api` and `npm run dev:web`) and confirm by hand:

1. The Burned Road shows a route to the Abandoned Watchpost; travelling takes ~15 s.
2. The Watchpost map shows **no** Ash Pit route.
3. Inspecting the watchpost reveals the §8 clue and announces the new route.
4. The Ash Pit route now appears and can be travelled.
5. A hunt at the Watchpost only offers the five monsters from its own pool.
6. A Raider Veteran fight shows the guard banner; Shield Bash breaks it.
7. A Burned Hound below 35 % HP shows the enrage banner and hits harder.
8. Scorched Hide and Raider Warband Mark both drop and both sell to Borin.

- [ ] **Step 3: Run lint and build**

```bash
npm run lint --workspace=@ashen-realms/api
npm run build
```

Expected: both pass. Fix anything they surface before continuing.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the full test suite**

```bash
npm test
```

Expected: PASS across both workspaces.

- [ ] **Step 5: Write the implementation notes**

Create `docs/playable-slices/0.10-Abandoned-Watchpost-implementation-notes.md`
following the shape of the Slice 0.9 notes. Record at minimum:

- the discovery model (table, connection column, service) and why the gate is
  enforced in two places
- `guard` and `enrage` as content abilities, with their exact configuration and
  the telegraph-wins priority rule
- the Ash Pit stub and what Slice 0.11 is expected to add to it
- deviations from the slice document: no surviving-guard NPC (§3, no portrait
  art exists — the investigation is a hotspot instead), and the crossed raider
  artwork files (design D7)
- the new `tools/derive-monster-assets.ps1` and when it needs re-running

- [ ] **Step 6: Tick the acceptance criteria**

In `docs/playable-slices/0.10-Abandoned-Watchpost.md` §12, change each `- [ ]`
to `- [x]`. If any criterion is genuinely unmet, leave it unticked and say why
in the implementation notes rather than ticking it anyway.

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add docs/playable-slices
git commit -m "docs: record the Slice 0.10 watchpost implementation and its deviations"
```
