+- **`GET /game/players/{id}/encounter-progress`** — server-authoritative per-encounter **`state`**, **`defeatedTargetIds`**, and **`rewardGrantSummary`** when **`completed`** (NEO-108); see [server README — Per-player encounter progress](../server/README.md#per-player-encounter-progress-neo-108).
+- **Scripts:** `scripts/encounter_progress_client.gd`; wired from `main.gd` in `_setup_encounter_progress_sync()`.
+- **HUD:**
+  - **`UICanvas/HudRoot/EncounterProgressLabel`** — frozen pocket **`prototype_combat_pocket`**: **`not started (0/3)`** → **`{n}/3`** while **`active`** → **`completed (3/3)`**.
+  - **`UICanvas/HudRoot/EncounterCompleteLabel`** — **`Loot: —`** until **`completed`**; then one line per grant (**`displayName`** via **`ItemDefinitionsClient`**, fallback **`itemId`**).
+- **Refresh:** boot hydrate + **`GET`** after cast accept with **`targetDefeated: true`** (alongside gig/combat refreshes). No periodic poll or manual key.
+- **Inventory:** on **`completed`** row, **`InventoryLabel`** auto-refreshes (no **I**) so bag shows **`scrap_metal_bulk`** and **`contract_handoff_token`**.

+# NEO-110 — Manual QA checklist
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Key | NEO-110 |
+| Title | E5M3-11: Client encounter progress + loot feedback HUD |
+| Linear | https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-110/e5m3-11-client-encounter-progress-loot-feedback-hud |
+| Plan | `docs/plans/NEO-110-implementation-plan.md` |
+| Branch | `NEO-110-client-encounter-progress-loot-feedback-hud` |
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- **Fresh dev player:** stop any running server, then start a new instance so in-memory encounter progress, NPC HP, and inventory reset.
+- **No Bruno/curl** for this checklist — defeat chain uses Godot **Tab** + **1** only.
+- NEO-108 encounter-progress GET and NEO-106 combat wiring landed on `main`.
+- **`Economy HUD`** toggle **on** for inventory verification (step 8).
+
+## 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).
+
+## 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) |
+
+## Checklist
+
+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 **`prototype_npc_melee`**: walk to orange marker, **Tab** lock, press **1** until **`Cast: … — defeated!`**. Verify **`EncounterProgressLabel`** shows **`1/3`** (may lag one GET behind cast — wait ~1 s or defeat next NPC).
+4. Defeat **`prototype_npc_ranged`**: lock at SE marker, cast until defeated. Verify **`2/3`**.
+5. Defeat **`prototype_npc_elite`**: lock at origin, cast until defeated (**8** pulses). 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`** and **`contract_handoff_token`** without pressing **I** (auto-refresh on completion GET).
+7. Defeat any already-defeated NPC again (optional): encounter row stays **`completed (3/3)`**; loot lines unchanged.
+8. Regression: **`GigXpLabel`** still updates per defeat (NEO-86); **`CastFeedbackLabel`** still shows deny on re-cast (**`target_defeated`**).
+
+## Notes
+
+- Defeat order may differ from table — server tracks order-independent subset; count is **`defeatedTargetIds.size()`**.
+- Capstone baseline prefers **server restart** over mid-session fixture POST.
+- Full three-NPC loop + idempotency capstone: [NEO-111](NEO-111.md) (when landed).
+- Component combat regression: [NEO-98 manual QA](NEO-98.md).
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- [ ] Steps 1–8 completable in one session without Bruno/curl.
+- [ ] Progress label shows **1/3**, **2/3**, then **completed (3/3)** after defeats.
+- [ ] Loot label matches server grant summary; inventory reflects grants without **I**.
