Mirror validate_content.py gates in MasteryCatalogLoader, expose IMasteryCatalogRegistry, cross-check skillIds against the skill catalog, and enforce tierIndex 1..N per track.
Replace placeholder XP level math with content-backed thresholds validated in CI and at server boot, and update docs/manual QA/review artifacts to reflect NEO-39 delivery and follow-up fixes.
Register SkillDefinitionCatalog from content/skills with JsonSchema.Net validation
mirroring validate_content.py and the prototype Slice 1 gate. Resolve paths via
Content:SkillsDirectory or discovery from AppContext.BaseDirectory. Eager-load
after WebApplication build so bad catalogs block startup. Add unit and host
tests, pin test factories to repo skills, document config in server/README, add
manual QA checklist, and extend Bruno GET /health smoke tests.
Split HTTP verification reads into Assert in C# API and integration tests.
Add # Arrange/# Act/# Assert to GdUnit suites and keep Act free of assertions
where casts and busy guards are under test.
Fix the hotbar client test transport body construction so the suite parses and runs again, and normalize AAA marker ordering in the flagged C# tests to restore readability consistency with the test template.
Audit all test files and bring them in line with formatting/style expectations by adding explicit AAA markers across server test methods and fixing GDScript test lint/format issues.
Add explicit Arrange/Act/Assert sections to each hotbar API test method to align with the C# test style guide while preserving existing coverage and behavior.
Remove the AAA pre-commit gate and instead provide write-time scaffolding via C# snippets and a test template, then document those defaults in the C# style and testing expectations rules.
Set E1.M4 documentation status to In Progress across decomposition tracking docs and add lower-bound slot validation coverage. Mark the corresponding review suggestions and nit as resolved in the saved review file.
Add server/client tests for duplicate-slot, schema, missing-player, normalization, and busy/error handling paths, and include Bruno requests for the new hotbar routes with happy and representative failure checks.
Ship a server-owned hotbar loadout API with Postgres-or-memory persistence so slot bindings survive reconnects in configured environments. Wire client boot hydration and add tests/docs/manual QA to keep the prototype contract and policy explicit.
Map SelectionEvent to target_changed, reserve ability_cast_requested and ability_cast_denied hook locations, and align plan/manual QA/decomposition docs with TODO(E9.M1) telemetry follow-up.
