E3.M3 — ItemizationAndInventorySchema

Summary

Field Value
Module ID E3.M3
Epic Epic 3 — Crafting Economy
Stage target Prototype
Status In Progress — Slice 1 backlog NEO-50–NEO-56 (E3M3-prototype-backlog; see dependency register)

Purpose

Item definitions, rarity/quality, stackability, and equipment metadata plus InventorySlot representation. Foundation for craft outputs, quest rewards, combat loot, and trade.

Responsibilities

  • Version ItemDef / ItemInstance schema; enforce stack and slot rules server-side.

Key contracts

Contract Role
ItemDef Static template data.
ItemInstance Per-item state (stack, durability hook, binds).
InventorySlot Container model for players and exchanges.

Module dependencies

  • None

Dependents (by design)

  • E3.M2, E3.M4, E5.M3, E7.M2, E8.M3, and any system moving items.

Designer note: stack, slot, and v1 scope

Each ItemDef row under content/items/*.json declares:

  • stackMax — maximum units per inventory slot for that def (inventory engine in E3M3-05+ enforces this on add).
  • inventorySlotKind — bag (general inventory) vs equipment (equip-stub slot only in prototype; full loadout rules are later).
  • prototypeRole — Slice 1 archetype for CI coverage (material → equip_stub); not a player-facing bucket label (see items.md design lenses).

Prototype v1: optional schema fields rarity, bindPolicy, durabilityMax exist for forward compatibility but are omitted on all six shipped rows. No durability mutation or repair sinks in Slice 1—those belong to E3.M4.

Prototype Slice 1 freeze (NEO-50)

The first shipped six-item spine under content/items/*.json is frozen for downstream references (gather yields, recipes, inventory grants) until a deliberate migration or follow-up issue expands the roster.

ItemDef.id prototypeRole inventorySlotKind stackMax
scrap_metal_bulk material bag 999
refined_plate_stock intermediate bag 999
field_stim_mk0 consumable bag 20
survey_drone_kit utility bag 1
contract_handoff_token quest_token bag 1
prototype_armor_shell equip_stub equipment 1

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) enforces exactly these six ids, one row per prototypeRole, and duplicate-id rejection across all item JSON files. Relaxing or changing that gate belongs in a new Linear issue once the catalog intentionally grows.

Related implementation slices

Epic 3 Slice 1 — MVP inventory; item_created, transfer failures.

Server load (NEO-51): On host startup, server/NeonSprawl.Server/Game/Items/ loads content/items/*_items.json with the same validation gates as CI (scripts/validate_content.py) and refuses to listen when the catalog is invalid. Config and discovery: server README — Item catalog. Plan: NEO-51 implementation plan.

Linear backlog (decomposed): E3M3-prototype-backlog.md — E3M3-01 NEO-50 (content + CI) through E3M3-07 NEO-56 (telemetry hooks).
