Add IPlayerGigProgressionStore (in-memory + Postgres V007), GET
/gig-progression snapshot, and CombatDefeatGigXpGrant on cast accept
when targetDefeated — 25 XP to breach, outside E2.M2 skill XP.
Includes tests, Bruno, README, manual QA, and plan reconciliation.
Add dev combat-targets fixture reset endpoint, Bruno pre-request helper, and enable fixture in CI Bruno step so combat-targets tests run after ability-cast defeat spine.
Wire POST /game/players/{id}/craft to CraftOperations with CraftResponse DTOs,
integration tests, gather→refine→make Bruno folder, and module/README updates.
Replace fixture player ids with POST …/__dev/mastery-fixture (resetPerkState,
absolute skillXp). Bruno deny tests set state in pre-request on dev-local-1.
Gated to Development/Testing or Game:EnableMasteryFixtureApi.
GET/POST /game/players/{id}/perk-state with versioned JSON, engine-backed
branch selection, PerkStateApiTests, Bruno collection, README, and E2.M3 alignment.
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.
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.
