| **Linear** | Label **`E5.M1`** · [E5M1-prototype-backlog.md](../../plans/E5M1-prototype-backlog.md) **E5M1-01** [NEO-76](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-76) → **E5M1-12** [NEO-86](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-86); gig XP **E5M1-10** [NEO-44](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-44) |
## Purpose
**Authority:** [Client vs server](client_server_authority.md#e5m1-combatrulesengine) — server validates intents and computes all outcomes; never trust client damage/healing/crit/death.
Core tab-target combat resolution: valid actions against a locked target, hit resolution, cooldown and resource timing, and threat state as needed for prototype encounters. Presents readable outcomes in fixed isometric view and feeds XP awards through [E2.M2](E2_M2_XpAwardAndLevelEngine.md).
**PvP:** Single engine for PvE and PvP; player-target hostility **gates** on [E6.M1](E6_M1_PvPEligibilityAndFlagState.md). See [PvP and the combat engine](pvp_combat_integration.md).
## Responsibilities
- Combat state machine for tab-target flow (attacks, abilities per prototype scope).
- Validate and apply `CombatAction`; produce `CombatResolution` for UI and logs (include **PvP deny reasons** when player targets are blocked; see [pvp_combat_integration.md](pvp_combat_integration.md)).
- Integrate with targeting/interaction from **E1.M3** (target lock, valid target checks).
- Award combat XP via E2.M2 integration where specified in slices.
## Key contracts
| Contract | Role |
|----------|------|
| `CombatAction` | Attack, ability, or other combat intent from client/input scaffold. |
| `CombatResolution` | Hits, misses, damage, denies with reason codes (no silent failures). |
| `ThreatState` | Aggro/threat for NPC and encounter coordination (as scoped). |
## Module dependencies
- **E1.M3** — [InteractionAndTargetingLayer](E1_M3_InteractionAndTargetingLayer.md): `TargetState`, selection, and alignment with **E1.M4** ([AbilityInputScaffold](E1_M4_AbilityInputScaffold.md)) for `AbilityCastRequest` wiring.
- **E2.M2** — [XpAwardAndLevelEngine](E2_M2_XpAwardAndLevelEngine.md): combat XP grants.
## Dependents (by design)
- **E5.M2** — NpcAiAndBehaviorProfiles.
- **E5.M3** — EncounterAndRewardTables.
- **E1.M4** — AbilityInputScaffold sends `AbilityCastRequest` to combat.
- **E7.M1** — QuestStateMachine for combat-related quest steps.
- **E2.M2** — Invoked as integration caller for XP (not a structural child).
## Related implementation slices

**E5M1-05 (NEO-80):** **`ICombatEntityHealthStore`** + **`InMemoryCombatEntityHealthStore`** — lazy HP init for **`PrototypeTargetRegistry`** dummies at **`PrototypeCombatConstants.MaxPrototypeTargetHp` (100)** ([NEO-80 plan](../../plans/NEO-80-implementation-plan.md)); [server README — Combat entity health (NEO-80)](../../../server/README.md#combat-entity-health-neo-80).
**E5M1-06 (NEO-81):** **`CombatOperations.TryResolve`** + **`CombatResult`** + **`CombatReasonCodes`** — deterministic catalog damage, defeated pre-check deny (`target_defeated`), unknown ability/target validation ([NEO-81 plan](../../plans/NEO-81-implementation-plan.md)); [server README — Combat engine (NEO-81)](../../../server/README.md#combat-engine-neo-81).
**E5M1-07 (NEO-82):** **`AbilityCastApi`** → **`CombatOperations.TryResolve`** — nested wire **`combatResolution`** on accept, per-ability catalog **`cooldownSeconds`**, **`target_defeated`** cast deny without cooldown commit ([NEO-82 plan](../../plans/NEO-82-implementation-plan.md)); [server README — Ability cast (NEO-82)](../../../server/README.md#ability-cast-neo-31-neo-82); Bruno `bruno/neon-sprawl-server/ability-cast/`.
**E5M1-08 (NEO-83):** **`GET /game/world/combat-targets`** — `CombatTargetsWorldApi` + DTOs in `Game/Combat/`; authoritative HP snapshot from **`ICombatEntityHealthStore`** ([NEO-83 plan](../../plans/NEO-83-implementation-plan.md)); [server README — Combat targets snapshot (NEO-83)](../../../server/README.md#combat-targets-snapshot-neo-83); Bruno `bruno/neon-sprawl-server/combat-targets/`.

## Prototype Slice 1 freeze (E5M1-01)
The **first shipped four-ability combat spine** under `content/abilities/*.json` is **frozen** for hotbar bindings, cast validation, and combat resolution until a deliberate migration or follow-up issue expands the roster.
| `AbilityDef.id` | `displayName` | `baseDamage` | `cooldownSeconds` | `abilityKind` |
|-----------------|---------------|--------------|-------------------|---------------|
| **`prototype_pulse`** | Prototype Pulse | 25 | 3.0 | `attack` |
| **`prototype_guard`** | Prototype Guard | 0 | 6.0 | `utility` |
| **`prototype_dash`** | Prototype Dash | 0 | 4.0 | `movement` |
| **`prototype_burst`** | Prototype Burst | 40 | 5.0 | `attack` |
**Rules:** Do **not** rename these `id` values—change **`displayName`** only, or add a new `id` in a follow-up issue. CI ([`scripts/validate_content.py`](../../../scripts/validate_content.py)) and server startup ([NEO-77](../../plans/NEO-77-implementation-plan.md)) enforce **exactly** these four ids and duplicate-`id` rejection across all ability JSON files. Relaxing or changing that gate belongs in a new Linear issue once the catalog intentionally grows. **`prototype_pulse`** at 25 damage × 4 casts defeats a 100 HP prototype dummy (E5M1 backlog default). **`IAbilityDefinitionRegistry`** + hotbar/cast migration **landed** ([NEO-79](../../plans/NEO-79-implementation-plan.md), E5M1-03).
## Prototype notes (NEO-28)
Epic 1 **Slice 3** cast accept/deny on **`POST /game/players/{id}/ability-cast`** remains the E1.M4 gate funnel: hotbar/loadout validation ([E1.M4](E1_M4_AbilityInputScaffold.md)), **`targetId`** must match the persisted combat lock, resolve in the prototype target registry, and sit within horizontal lock radius against authoritative **`PositionState`**. Deny codes **`invalid_target`** and **`out_of_range`** reuse the same strings as E1.M3 **`TargetState.validity`**. **NEO-82 (E5M1-07):** after gates pass, **`CombatOperations.TryResolve`** runs; accept returns nested wire **`combatResolution`** (`damageDealt`, `targetRemainingHp`, `targetDefeated`, …) and commits per-ability catalog cooldown; **`target_defeated`** JSON deny on re-hit at zero HP.
## Risks and telemetry
- Sluggish or opaque tab-target: prototype readability gate; instrument time-in-combat and deny reasons.
- Desync logging via E9.M1 taxonomy when available.
## Source anchors
- Master plan: [`neon_sprawl_vision.plan.md`](../../../neon_sprawl_vision.plan.md) — Core Epic Map, Epic 5.
- [Module dependency register](module_dependency_register.md)
