+## End-to-end encounter clear loop (NEO-111)
+
+Epic 5 Slice 3 capstone — defeat all three prototype NPCs, receive loot + quest token **once**, verify inventory **in Godot** without Bruno.
+
+**Flow:** fresh server restart → boot encounter HUD **0/3** → defeat ×3 (any order) → progress **1/3 → 2/3 → completed** → loot label + inventory → Godot restart idempotency.
+
+| Step | Input / trigger | HUD / server outcome |
+|------|-----------------|----------------------|
+| Boot | Godot **F5** + fresh server | **`EncounterProgressLabel`** **`not started (0/3)`**; **`Loot: —`**; empty bag |
+| Engage | **Tab** + **1** on first NPC | Encounter activates on first damaging hit (NEO-106); progress **`1/3`** after defeat |
+| Second defeat | Lock + cast second NPC | **`2/3`**; loot still **`—`** |
+| Third defeat | Lock + cast third NPC | **`completed (3/3)`**; **`EncounterCompleteLabel`** lists grants; **`InventoryLabel`** auto-refreshes |
+| Idempotency | Stop Godot + **F5** (server still running) | Encounter still **`completed`**; inventory counts unchanged |
+| Re-cast defeated | **Tab** + **1** on defeated NPC | **`ability_cast_denied: target_defeated`**; no duplicate loot or gig XP |

+
+**Scripts:** `encounter_progress_client.gd`, `inventory_client.gd`, `ability_cast_client.gd`, `combat_targets_client.gd` — wired from `main.gd`.
+
+**Preconditions:** **Server restart** before capstone run resets NPC HP, encounter progress, inventory, and gig XP.

+# NEO-111 — Manual QA checklist
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Key | NEO-111 |
+| Title | E5M3-12: Playable encounter clear capstone (Godot) |
+| Linear | https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-111/e5m3-12-playable-encounter-clear-capstone-godot |
+| Plan | `docs/plans/NEO-111-implementation-plan.md` |
+| Branch | `NEO-111-playable-encounter-clear-capstone` |
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- **Fresh dev player:** stop any running server, then start a new instance so in-memory **`dev-local-1`** NPC HP, encounter progress, inventory, and gig XP reset.
+- **No Bruno/curl** for this checklist — defeat chain uses Godot **Tab** + **1** only.
+- NEO-110 encounter HUD, NEO-106 combat wiring, and NEO-108 encounter-progress GET landed on `main`.
+- **`Economy HUD`** toggle **on** for inventory verification.
+
+## Archetype reference (defeat order flexible)
+
+| Archetype | Instance id | Marker | Pulses to defeat |
+|-----------|-------------|--------|------------------|
+| Melee | `prototype_npc_melee` | orange west **`(-3, -3)`** | 4 |
+| Ranged | `prototype_npc_ranged` | purple SE **`(3, 3)`** | 4 |
+| Elite | `prototype_npc_elite` | gold origin **`(0, 0)`** | 8 |
+
+Player casts **`prototype_pulse`** (**25** damage, ~**3 s** cooldown). Defeat all three in **any order** — server tracks an order-independent subset.
+
+## Expected encounter HUD progression
+
+| After | `EncounterProgressLabel` | `EncounterCompleteLabel` |
+|-------|--------------------------|---------------------------|
+| Boot (no engagement) | `prototype_combat_pocket: not started (0/3)` | `Loot: —` |
+| 1st NPC defeated | `prototype_combat_pocket: 1/3` | `Loot: —` |
+| 2nd NPC defeated | `prototype_combat_pocket: 2/3` | `Loot: —` |
+| 3rd NPC defeated | `prototype_combat_pocket: completed (3/3)` | `scrap_metal_bulk ×10` and `contract_handoff_token ×1` (display names when item defs loaded) |
+| After Godot restart (idempotency) | still **`completed (3/3)`** | unchanged grant lines |
+
+## Expected inventory after completion
+
+On a fresh server restart the bag starts empty. After the third defeat, **`InventoryLabel`** should show at least:
+
+| Item id | Quantity |
+|---------|----------|
+| `scrap_metal_bulk` | **10** |
+| `contract_handoff_token` | **1** |
+
+Record these quantities before idempotency steps.
+
+## Expected gig XP after three defeats
+
+**`GigXpLabel`** should show **`breach: L1 · 75 xp`** (NEO-44: **25** gig XP per defeat × **3**). No further gig XP increase during idempotency steps.
+
+## Checklist
+
+### Boot + encounter clear
+
+1. Start server: `cd server/NeonSprawl.Server && dotnet run`.
+2. Run Godot main scene (**F5**). Confirm boot lines: **`Encounter: … not started (0/3)`** and **`Loot: —`** on **`EncounterProgressLabel`** / **`EncounterCompleteLabel`** (combat HUD block, below **`PlayerCombatHpLabel`**).
+3. Defeat **first** prototype NPC (any archetype): walk to marker, **Tab** lock, press **1** until **`Cast: … — defeated!`**. Verify **`EncounterProgressLabel`** shows **`1/3`** (may lag one GET behind cast — wait ~1 s).
+4. Defeat **second** prototype NPC (either remaining archetype): lock, cast until defeated. Verify **`2/3`**.
+5. Defeat **third** prototype NPC: lock, cast until defeated (**8** pulses for Elite). Verify **`completed (3/3)`** and **`EncounterCompleteLabel`** lists **`scrap_metal_bulk ×10`** and **`contract_handoff_token ×1`** (or raw ids if defs still loading).
+6. Open **`Economy HUD`** body: **`InventoryLabel`** shows **`scrap_metal_bulk`** (**10**) and **`contract_handoff_token`** (**1**) without pressing **I** (auto-refresh on completion GET).
+7. Verify **`GigXpLabel`** shows **`breach: L1 · 75 xp`**.
+
+### Idempotency
+
+8. **Record** inventory quantities for **`scrap_metal_bulk`** and **`contract_handoff_token`** from step 6.
+9. **Godot restart (re-login):** stop Godot run (**Shift+F5** or stop button); **F5** again **without** stopping the server. After boot hydrate, verify **`EncounterProgressLabel`** still **`completed (3/3)`** and **`EncounterCompleteLabel`** grant lines unchanged.
+10. Verify **`InventoryLabel`** quantities **match step 8** — no duplicate loot.
+11. Lock a **defeated** NPC (**Tab** at its marker); press **1**. Verify **`CastFeedbackLabel`** shows **`ability_cast_denied: target_defeated`**; encounter HUD and inventory **unchanged** from steps 9–10.
+12. Verify **`GigXpLabel`** still **`breach: L1 · 75 xp`** — no extra gig XP from idempotency casts.
+
+### Regression
+
+13. **`CastFeedbackLabel`** still shows readable deny reasons (NEO-28 / NEO-98).
+14. Component encounter HUD detail: [NEO-110 manual QA](NEO-110.md). Component NPC combat: [NEO-98 manual QA](NEO-98.md).
+
+## Notes
+
+- Defeat order may differ from the archetype table — only **0/3 → 3/3** progression is asserted.
+- Capstone baseline prefers **server restart** over mid-session fixture POST.
+- **`POST /game/__dev/combat-targets-fixture`** is **out of scope** for idempotency — it clears encounter progress/completion alongside NPC HP reset ([server README — dev combat-target fixture](../../server/README.md#dev-combat-target-fixture-brunomanual-qa)).
+- Slice 3 Epic AC: completing **`prototype_combat_pocket`** grants expected items + quest token **once** ([epic_05 Slice 3](../../decomposition/epics/epic_05_pve_combat.md#epic-5-slice-3)).
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- [x] Steps 1–14 completable in one session without Bruno/curl.
+- [x] Progress label shows **1/3**, **2/3**, then **completed (3/3)** after three defeats (any order).
+- [x] Loot label and inventory show **`scrap_metal_bulk` ×10** + **`contract_handoff_token` ×1**; quantities unchanged after Godot restart + defeated-NPC casts.

+| **Client deps** | [NEO-110](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-110) encounter progress + loot HUD (**Done**); E5.M1 cast + gig XP ([NEO-86](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-86)); E5.M2 NPC combat ([NEO-98](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-98)) |

+| **Pattern** | Capstone integration — [NEO-98](NEO-98-implementation-plan.md) / [NEO-86](NEO-86-implementation-plan.md) docs + manual QA primary; minimal gap-fill only if capstone QA fails on `main` |
+| **Server counterpart** | NEO-100–NEO-109 server spine; Bruno-only verification is not prototype-complete per [full-stack epic decomposition](../../.cursor/rules/full-stack-epic-decomposition.md) |
+
+## Kickoff clarifications
+
+| Topic | Question | Agent recommendation | Answer |
+|--------|----------|----------------------|--------|
+| **Implementation scope** | Docs-only vs client code? | **Docs + manual QA primary**; fix integration gaps only if capstone QA fails on `main` — [NEO-98](NEO-98-implementation-plan.md) precedent. | **Adopted** — docs-primary |
+| **Session baseline** | Fresh server vs fixture POST? | **Fresh server restart** before Godot **F5** — resets NPC HP, encounter progress, inventory, and gig XP; zero Bruno/curl in main checklist. | **Adopted** — fresh restart; no Bruno/curl |
+| **Defeat order** | Fixed vs flexible order in script? | **Melee → Ranged → Elite** for script clarity. | **Flexible** — any order; script asserts **0/3 → 3/3** progression only |
+| **Idempotency check** | How to prove loot grants once? | **Godot stop + F5 restart** (server still running) + casts on defeated NPCs; inventory counts unchanged. Dev fixture POST clears encounter completion — **not** used. | **Adopted** — Godot restart + defeated-NPC casts |
+| **NEO-110 relationship** | Supersede component QA? | **NEO-111 supersedes as Slice 3 capstone**; keep [NEO-110](../manual-qa/NEO-110.md) as component-level regression (NEO-85 / NEO-86 pattern). | **Adopted** |
+
+## Goal, scope, and out-of-scope
+
+**Goal:** Prove Epic 5 Slice 3 acceptance **in Godot**: defeat all three E5.M2 NPCs, receive **`scrap_metal_bulk` ×10** + **`contract_handoff_token` ×1** **once**, verify inventory — without Bruno.
+
+**In scope (from Linear + [E5M3-12](E5M3-prototype-backlog.md#e5m3-12--playable-encounter-clear-capstone-godot)):**
+
+- **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-111.md`**: numbered **single-session** capstone script — fresh dev player, **flexible defeat order**, zero Bruno/curl steps in the main checklist; **idempotency** via Godot restart + casts on defeated NPCs.
+- **`client/README.md`**: **End-to-end encounter clear loop** section — integration flow table (boot → engage → defeat ×3 → loot → inventory → idempotency); cross-links NEO-106–NEO-110.
+- **Module alignment** (on story completion): update [`documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md`](../decomposition/modules/documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md) E5.M3 row, [E5_M3](../decomposition/modules/E5_M3_EncounterAndRewardTables.md) status note, and [E5M3-prototype-backlog.md](E5M3-prototype-backlog.md) E5M3-12 checkboxes; mark Epic 5 Slice 3 client capstone complete.
+- **Integration fixes only if capstone QA fails** on current `main` wiring (unexpected deny, HUD refresh gap, inventory drift, idempotency breach, etc.).
+
+**Out of scope (from Linear + backlog):**
+
+- Group scaling ([E5.M4](../decomposition/modules/E5_M4_GroupCombatScaling.md)), dynamic spawn ([E4.M2](../decomposition/modules/E4_M2_SpawnEcologyController.md)).
+- Final loot VFX art; encounter selection UI beyond frozen **`prototype_combat_pocket`**.
+- Bruno-only verification as prototype-complete proof.
+- New server HTTP routes or Godot HUD features beyond NEO-110.
+
+## Acceptance criteria checklist
+
+- [x] Human completes **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-111.md`** with server + client; loot readable in inventory HUD.
+- [x] Epic 5 Slice 3 AC: completing defined encounter grants expected items + quest token **once** (idempotency steps pass).
+- [x] Re-read [epic_05 Definition of Done](../decomposition/epics/epic_05_pve_combat.md#epic-5-definition-of-done) for prototype minimums.
+
+## Implementation reconciliation (shipped)
+
+**Manual QA:** [`docs/manual-qa/NEO-111.md`](../manual-qa/NEO-111.md) — passed (Godot defeat chain any order, **0/3 → completed**, loot + inventory, Godot restart idempotency).
+
+- **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-111.md`** — single-session capstone checklist with idempotency + regression steps.
+- **`client/README.md`** — **End-to-end encounter clear loop (NEO-111)** section with flow table and cross-links.
+- **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-110.md`** — cross-link to NEO-111 capstone.
+- **`docs/plans/E5M3-prototype-backlog.md`**, **`E5_M3_EncounterAndRewardTables.md`**, **`documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md`**, **`module_dependency_register.md`** — E5M3-12 landed; E5.M3 **Ready**; Epic 5 Slice 3 client capstone complete.
+- **No integration code changes** — docs-primary scope; server encounter spine verified by existing **`EncounterCombatWiringTests`** / **`EncounterProgressApiTests`** / **`AbilityCastApiTests`**.
+
+## Technical approach
+
+### 1. Capstone manual QA script (`docs/manual-qa/NEO-111.md`)
+
+**Preconditions:** Stop any running server; start fresh (`cd server/NeonSprawl.Server && dotnet run`) so in-memory **`dev-local-1`** NPC HP, encounter progress, inventory, and gig XP reset. Godot **F5** with **no** prior curl/Bruno seeding. **`Economy HUD`** toggle **on** for inventory verification.
+
+**Archetype reference** (defeat order **flexible** — server tracks order-independent subset):
+
+| Archetype | Instance id | Marker | Pulses to defeat |
+|-----------|-------------|--------|------------------|
+| Melee | `prototype_npc_melee` | orange west **`(-3, -3)`** | 4 |
+| Ranged | `prototype_npc_ranged` | purple SE **`(3, 3)`** | 4 |
+| Elite | `prototype_npc_elite` | gold origin **`(0, 0)`** | 8 |
+
+Player casts **`prototype_pulse`** (**25** damage, ~**3 s** cooldown).
+
+**Expected encounter HUD progression** (from NEO-110; count is **`defeatedTargetIds.size()`**):
+
+| After | `EncounterProgressLabel` | `EncounterCompleteLabel` |
+|-------|--------------------------|---------------------------|
+| Boot | `prototype_combat_pocket: not started (0/3)` | `Loot: —` |
+| 1st NPC defeated | `prototype_combat_pocket: 1/3` | `Loot: —` |
+| 2nd NPC defeated | `prototype_combat_pocket: 2/3` | `Loot: —` |
+| 3rd NPC defeated | `prototype_combat_pocket: completed (3/3)` | `scrap_metal_bulk ×10` + `contract_handoff_token ×1` |
+| Idempotency (post-restart) | still **`completed (3/3)`** | unchanged grant lines |
+
+**Main checklist spine:**
+
+1. Start server + Godot **F5**; confirm boot encounter HUD **0/3**.
+2. Defeat **three** prototype NPCs in **any order** (Tab lock + **1** per archetype until **`— defeated!`**).
+3. After each defeat: verify **`EncounterProgressLabel`** advances **1/3 → 2/3 → completed (3/3)** (may lag one GET behind cast).
+4. On completion: **`EncounterCompleteLabel`** lists both grants; **`InventoryLabel`** shows **`scrap_metal_bulk`** and **`contract_handoff_token`** without pressing **I**.
+5. **Record inventory quantities** for both grant items (note baseline if bag had prior items from earlier sessions — fresh restart should be empty or known baseline).
+6. **Idempotency — Godot restart:** stop Godot run; **F5** again **without** stopping server. Verify encounter HUD still **`completed (3/3)`**; inventory quantities **unchanged** (no duplicate loot).
+7. **Idempotency — defeated NPC casts:** lock a defeated NPC; press **1** — **`CastFeedbackLabel`** shows **`ability_cast_denied: target_defeated`**; encounter + inventory unchanged.
+8. Regression: **`GigXpLabel`** shows **`breach`** XP increased per defeat during step 2 (NEO-86); no extra gig XP spike during idempotency steps.
+
+**Notes section:** cross-link [NEO-110](../manual-qa/NEO-110.md) for HUD component detail; [NEO-98](../manual-qa/NEO-98.md) for NPC combat regression; explain why dev **`POST /game/__dev/combat-targets-fixture`** is **out of scope** (clears encounter completion — unsuitable for idempotency).
+
+### 2. Client README (`client/README.md`)
+
+Add **End-to-end encounter clear loop (NEO-111)** section after [Encounter progress + loot HUD (NEO-110)](../../client/README.md#encounter-progress--loot-hud-neo-110), mirroring NEO-98 / NEO-86 capstone sections:
+
+- One-line Epic 5 Slice 3 capstone goal.
+- Flow table: fresh restart → boot → defeat ×3 (any order) → progress HUD → loot label → inventory → Godot restart idempotency.
+- Cross-links: NEO-106 combat wiring, NEO-108 GET, NEO-110 HUD components, NEO-98 NPC combat.
+- Pointer to **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-111.md`**.
+
+### 3. Module / backlog alignment (on land)
+
+When capstone QA passes:
+
+- [E5M3-prototype-backlog.md](E5M3-prototype-backlog.md) — E5M3-12 AC checkboxes.
+- [E5_M3_EncounterAndRewardTables.md](../decomposition/modules/E5_M3_EncounterAndRewardTables.md) — module status **Ready**; Slice 3 client capstone note.
+- [documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md](../decomposition/modules/documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md) — E5.M3 row: NEO-111 landed; Epic 5 Slice 3 client capstone complete.
+- [module_dependency_register.md](../decomposition/modules/module_dependency_register.md) — E5.M3 **Ready** if all stories landed.
+
+### 4. Integration fixes (conditional)
+
+Run capstone QA on `main` (or branch with NEO-110 merged). If any step fails:
+
+- Document failure in plan **Implementation reconciliation**.
+- Minimal fix in client or server; add/adjust automated test only when fix is non-trivial.
+- Re-run full capstone script before land.
+
+## Files to add
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `docs/plans/NEO-111-implementation-plan.md` | This plan. |
+| `docs/manual-qa/NEO-111.md` | Single-session Godot capstone script with idempotency steps. |
+
+## Files to modify
+
+| Path | Rationale |
+|------|-----------|
+| `client/README.md` | **End-to-end encounter clear loop (NEO-111)** section with flow table and cross-links. |
+| `docs/plans/E5M3-prototype-backlog.md` | E5M3-12 acceptance checkboxes when capstone lands. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/E5_M3_EncounterAndRewardTables.md` | Module status + capstone landed note. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md` | E5.M3 row — NEO-111 capstone complete. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/module_dependency_register.md` | E5.M3 status **Ready** when slice complete. |
+
+**Conditional (only if capstone QA fails):** client scripts (`main.gd`, `encounter_progress_client.gd`, …) or server encounter path — document paths in **Implementation reconciliation**.
+
+## Tests
+
+| Test file | What it covers |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| *(none planned at kickoff)* | Capstone is manual Godot verification; NEO-110 GdUnit tests cover encounter-progress GET client. |
+
+**If integration fix required:** add or extend the smallest automated test that locks the fix (GdUnit for client parse/HUD helper; C# AAA for server deny/idempotency). Otherwise manual QA replaces automated coverage per [NEO-98](NEO-98-implementation-plan.md) precedent.

+## Open questions / risks
+
+| Item | Agent recommendation | Status |
+|------|----------------------|--------|
+| **NEO-110 on `main` at capstone run time** | Confirm NEO-110 merged before executing capstone QA; branch may need rebase onto `main`. | **adopted** — NEO-110 merged (PR #149) on branch |
+| **Inventory baseline on fresh restart** | Script instructs tester to note pre-grant bag state; fresh restart should yield empty or predictable baseline. | **adopted** |
+| **Concurrent GET lag on progress label** | Allow ~1 s after cast before asserting progress step (NEO-110 manual QA note). | **adopted** |
+| **Capstone QA scope expansion** | Kickoff was docs-primary; capstone QA may drive minimal integration fixes — document in **Implementation reconciliation**. | **deferred** |
