+# **Character Sheet Specification: The Explorer's Dossier**
+
+This document defines the UI component used to view and manage an Explorer unit. It combines Stat visualization, Inventory management (Paper Doll), and Skill Tree progression into a single tabbed interface.
+
+## **1. Visual Layout**
+
+Style: High-tech/Fantasy hybrid. Dark semi-transparent backgrounds with voxel-style borders.  
+Container: Centered Modal (80% width/height).
+
+### **A. Header (The Identity)**
+
+- **Left:** Large 2D Portrait of the Unit.
+- **Center:** Name, Class Title (e.g., "Vanguard"), and Level.
+- **Bottom:** XP Bar (Gold progress fill). Displays "SP: [X]" badge if Skill Points are available.
+- **Right:** "Close" button (X).
+
+### **B. Left Panel: Attributes (The Data)**
+
+- A vertical list of stats derived from getEffectiveStat().
+- **Primary:** Health (Bar), AP (Icons).
+- **Secondary:** Attack, Defense, Magic, Speed, Willpower, Tech.
+- **Interaction:** Hovering a stat shows a Tooltip breaking down the value (Base + Gear + Buffs).
+
+### **C. Center Panel: Paper Doll (The Gear)**
+
+- **Visual:** The Unit's 3D model (or 2D silhouette) in the center.
+- **Slots:** Four large square buttons arranged around the body:
+  - **Left:** Primary Weapon.
+  - **Right:** Off-hand / Relic.
+  - **Body:** Armor.
+  - **Accessory:** Utility Device.
+- **Interaction:** Clicking a slot opens the "Inventory Side-Panel" filtering for that slot type.
+
+### **D. Right Panel: Tabs (The Management)**
+
+A tabbed container switching between:
+
+1. **Inventory:** Grid of unequipped items in the squad's backpack.
+2. **Skills:** Embeds the **Skill Tree** component (Vertical Scrolling).
+3. **Mastery:** (Hub Only) Shows progress toward unlocking Tier 2 classes.
+
+## **2. TypeScript Interfaces (Data Model)**
+
+// src/types/CharacterSheet.ts
+
+export interface CharacterSheetProps {  
+ unitId: string;  
+ readOnly: boolean; // True during enemy turn or restricted events  
+}
+
+export interface CharacterSheetState {  
+ unit: Explorer; // The full object  
+ activeTab: 'INVENTORY' | 'SKILLS' | 'MASTERY';  
+ selectedSlot: 'WEAPON' | 'ARMOR' | 'RELIC' | 'UTILITY' | null;  
+}
+
+export interface StatTooltip {  
+ label: string; // "Attack"  
+ total: number; // 15  
+ breakdown: { source: string, value: number }[]; // [{s: "Base", v: 10}, {s: "Rusty Blade", v: 5}]  
+}
+
+## **3. Conditions of Acceptance (CoA)**
+
+**CoA 1: Stat Rendering**
+
+- Stats must reflect the _effective_ value.
+- If a unit has a "Weakness" debuff reducing Attack, the Attack number should appear Red. If buffed, Green.
+
+**CoA 2: Equipment Swapping**
+
+- Clicking an Equipment Slot toggles the Right Panel to "Inventory" mode, filtered by that slot type.
+- Clicking an item in the Inventory immediately equips it, swapping the old item back to the bag.
+- Stats must verify/update immediately upon equip.
+
+**CoA 3: Skill Interaction**
+
+- The Skill Tree tab must display the `SkillTreeUI` component we designed earlier.
+- Spending an SP in the tree must subtract from the Unit's `skillPoints` and update the view immediately.
+
+**CoA 4: Context Awareness**
+
+- In **Dungeon Mode**, the "Inventory" tab acts as the "Run Inventory" (temp loot).
+- In **Hub Mode**, the "Inventory" tab acts as the "Stash" (permanent items).
+
+---
+
+## **4. Prompt for Coding Agent**
+
+"Create `src/ui/components/CharacterSheet.js` as a LitElement.
+
+1. **Layout:** Use CSS Grid to create the 3-column layout (Stats, Paper Doll, Tabs).
+2. **Props:** Accept a `unit` object. Watch for changes to re-render stats.
+3. **Stats Column:** Implement a helper `_renderStat(label, value, breakdown)` that creates a hoverable div with a tooltip.
+4. **Paper Doll:** Render 4 button slots. If slot is empty, show a ghost icon. If full, show the Item Icon.
+5. **Tabs:** Implement simple switching logic.
+
+- _Inventory Tab:_ Render a grid of `item-card` elements.
+- _Skills Tab:_ Embed `<skill-tree-ui .unit=${this.unit}></skill-tree-ui>`.
+
+6. **Events:** Dispatch `equip-item` events when dragging/clicking inventory items."
+
+## **5. Integration Strategy**
+
+**Context:** The Character Sheet is a modal that sits above all other UI (CombatHUD, Hub, TeamBuilder). It should be mounted to the #ui-layer when triggered and removed when closed.
+
+**Trigger Points:**
+
+- **Combat:** Clicking the Unit Portrait in CombatHUD dispatches open-character-sheet.
+- **Hub:** Clicking a unit card in the Barracks dispatches open-character-sheet.
+- **Input:** Pressing 'C' (configured in InputManager) triggers it for the active unit.

+# **Inventory System Specification**
+
+This document defines the architecture for item management, covering individual Explorer loadouts and the shared Party/Hub storage.
+
+## **1. System Overview**
+
+The Inventory system operates in two distinct contexts:
+
+1. **Run Context (The Expedition):**
+   - **Unit Loadout:** Active gear affecting stats. Locked during combat (usually), editable during rest.
+   - **Run Stash (The Bag):** Temporary storage for loot found during the run. Infinite (or high) capacity.
+   - **Rule:** If the squad wipes, the _Run Stash_ is lost. Only equipped gear might be recovered (depending on difficulty settings).
+2. **Hub Context (The Armory):**
+   - **Master Stash:** Persistent storage for all unequipped items.
+   - **Management:** Players move items between the Master Stash and Unit Loadouts to prepare for the next run.
+   - **Extraction:** Upon successful run completion, _Run Stash_ contents are merged into _Master Stash_.
+
+## **2. Visual Description (UI)**
+
+### **A. Unit Loadout (The Paper Doll)**
+
+- **Visual:** A silhouette or 3D model of the character.
+- **Slots:**
+  - **Primary Hand:** Weapon (Sword, Staff, Wrench).
+  - **Off-Hand:** Shield, Focus, Tool, or 2H (occupies both).
+  - **Body:** Armor (Plate, Robes, Vest).
+  - **Accessory/Relic:** Stat boosters or Passive enablers.
+  - **Belt (2 Slots):** Consumables (Potions, Grenades) usable in combat via Bonus Action.
+- **Interaction:** Drag-and-drop from Stash to Slot. Invalid slots highlight Red. Valid slots highlight Green.
+
+### **B. The Stash (Grid View)**
+
+- **Visual:** A grid of item tiles on the right side of the screen.
+- **Filters:** Tabs for [All] [Weapons] [Armor] [Utility] [Consumables].
+- **Sorting:** By Rarity (Color Coded border) or Tier.
+- **Context Menu:** Right-click an item to "Equip to Active Unit" or "Salvage/Sell".
+
+## **3. TypeScript Interfaces (Data Model)**
+
+```typescript
+// src/types/Inventory.ts
+
+export type ItemType =
+  | "WEAPON"
+  | "ARMOR"
+  | "RELIC"
+  | "UTILITY"
+  | "CONSUMABLE"
+  | "MATERIAL";
+export type Rarity = "COMMON" | "UNCOMMON" | "RARE" | "ANCIENT";
+export type SlotType = "MAIN_HAND" | "OFF_HAND" | "BODY" | "ACCESSORY" | "BELT";
+
+/**
+ * A specific instance of an item.
+ * Allows for RNG stats or durability in the future.
+ */
+export interface ItemInstance {
+  uid: string; // Unique Instance ID (e.g. "ITEM_12345_A")
+  defId: string; // Reference to static registry (e.g. "ITEM_RUSTY_BLADE")
+  isNew: boolean; // For UI "New!" badges
+  quantity: number; // For stackables (Potions/Materials)
+}
+
+/**
+ * The inventory of a single character.
+ */
+export interface UnitLoadout {
+  mainHand: ItemInstance | null;
+  offHand: ItemInstance | null;
+  body: ItemInstance | null;
+  accessory: ItemInstance | null;
+  belt: [ItemInstance | null, ItemInstance | null]; // Fixed 2 slots
+}
+
+/**
+ * The shared storage (Run Bag or Hub Stash).
+ */
+export interface InventoryStorage {
+  id: string; // "RUN_LOOT" or "HUB_VAULT"
+  items: ItemInstance[]; // Unordered list
+  currency: {
+    aetherShards: number;
+    ancientCores: number;
+  };
+}
+
+/**
+ * Data payload for moving items.
+ */
+export interface TransferRequest {
+  itemUid: string;
+  sourceContainer: "STASH" | "UNIT_LOADOUT";
+  targetContainer: "STASH" | "UNIT_LOADOUT";
+  targetSlot?: SlotType; // If moving to Unit
+  slotIndex?: number; // For Belt slots (0 or 1)
+  unitId?: string; // Which unit owns the loadout
+}
+```
+
+## **4. Logic & Rules**
+
+### **A. Equipping Items**
+
+1. **Validation:**
+   - Check Item.requirements (Class Lock, Min Stats) against Unit.baseStats.
+   - Check Slot Compatibility (Can't put Armor in Weapon slot).
+   - _Two-Handed Logic:_ If equipping a 2H weapon, unequip Off-Hand automatically.
+2. **Swapping:**
+   - If target slot is occupied, move the existing item to Stash (or Swap if source was another slot).
+3. **Stat Recalculation:**
+   - Trigger unit.recalculateStats() immediately.
+
+### **B. Stacking**
+
+- **Equipment:** Non-stackable. Each Sword is a unique instance.
+- **Consumables/Materials:** Stackable up to 99.
+- **Logic:** When adding a Potion to Stash, check if defId exists. If yes, quantity++. If no, create new entry.
+
+### **C. The Extraction (End of Run)**
+
+```js
+function finalizeRun(runInventory, hubInventory) {
+  // 1. Transfer Currency
+  hubInventory.currency.shards += runInventory.currency.shards;
+
+  // 2. Transfer Items
+  for (let item of runInventory.items) {
+    hubInventory.addItem(item);
+  }
+
+  // 3. Clear Run Inventory
+  runInventory.clear();
+}
+```
+
+## **5. Conditions of Acceptance (CoA)**
+
+**CoA 1: Class Restrictions**
+
+- Attempting to equip a "Tinker Only" item on a "Vanguard" must fail.
+- The UI should visually dim incompatible items when a unit is selected.
+
+**CoA 2: Stat Updates**
+
+- Equipping a `+5 Attack` sword must immediately update the displayed Attack stat in the Character Sheet.
+- Unequipping it must revert the stat.
+
+**CoA 3: Belt Logic**
+
+- Using a Consumable in combat (via `ActionSystem`) must reduce its quantity.
+- If quantity reaches 0, the item reference is removed from the Belt slot.
+
+**CoA 4: Persistence**
+
+- Saving the game must serialize the `InventoryStorage` array correctly.
+- Loading the game must restore specific item instances (not just generic definitions).
+
+---
+
+## **6. Integration Strategy (Wiring)**
+
+This section defines where the Inventory System connects to the rest of the engine.
+
+### **A. Game Loop (Looting)**
+
+- **Trigger:** Player unit moves onto a tile with a Loot Chest / Item Drop.
+- **Logic:** `GameLoop` detects collision -> calls `InventoryManager.runStash.addItem(foundItem)`.
+- **Visual:** `VoxelManager` removes the chest model. UI shows "Item Acquired" toast.
+
+### **B. Character Sheet (Management)**
+
+- **Trigger:** Player opens Character Sheet -> Inventory Tab.
+- **Logic:** The UI Component imports `InventoryManager`.
+- **Display:** It renders `InventoryManager.runStash.items` (if in dungeon) or `hubStash.items` (if in hub).
+- **Action:** Dragging an item to a slot calls `InventoryManager.equipItem(activeUnit, itemUid, slot)`.
+
+### **C. Combat System (Consumables)**
+
+- **Trigger:** Player selects a "Potion" from the Combat HUD Action Bar.
+- **Logic:**
+  1. Check `unit.equipment.belt` for the item.
+  2. Execute Effect (Heal).
+  3. Call `InventoryManager.consumeItem(unit, slotIndex)`.
+  4. Update Unit Inventory state.
+
+### **D. Persistence (Saving)**
+
+- **Trigger:** `GameStateManager.saveRun()` or `saveRoster()`.
+- **Logic:** The `Explorer` class's `equipment` object and the `InventoryManager`'s `runStash` must be serialized to JSON.
+- **Requirement:** Ensure `ItemInstance` objects are saved with their specific `uid` and `quantity`, not just `defId`.

+# **Skill Tree UI Specification**
+
+This document defines the technical implementation for the SkillTreeUI component. This component renders the interactive progression tree for a specific Explorer.
+
+## **1. Visual Architecture**
+
+**Style:** "Voxel-Web". We will use **CSS 3D Transforms** to render the nodes as rotating cubes, keeping the UI lightweight but consistent with the game's aesthetic.
+
+### **A. The Tree Container (Scroll View)**
+
+- **Layout:** A vertical flex container.
+- **Tiers:** Each "Rank" (Novice, Apprentice, etc.) is a horizontal row (Flexbox).
+- **Connections:** An <svg> overlay sits behind the nodes to draw connecting lines (cables).
+
+### **B. The Node (CSS Voxel)**
+
+- **Structure:** A div with preserve-3d containing 6 faces.
+- **Animation:**
+  - _Locked:_ Static grey cube.
+  - _Available:_ Slowly bobbing, pulsing color.
+  - _Unlocked:_ Rotating slowly, emitting a glow (box-shadow).
+- **Content:** An icon (<img> or FontAwesome) is mapped to the Front face.
+
+### **C. The Inspector (Footer)**
+
+- A slide-up panel showing details for the _selected_ node.
+- Contains the "Unlock" button.
+
+## **2. TypeScript Interfaces (Data Model)**
+
+// src/types/SkillTreeUI.ts
+
+export interface SkillTreeProps {  
+ /** The Unit object (source of state) \*/  
+ unit: Explorer;  
+ /** The Tree Definition (source of layout) \*/  
+ treeDef: SkillTreeDefinition;  
+}
+
+export interface SkillNodeState {  
+ id: string;  
+ def: SkillNodeDefinition;  
+ status: 'LOCKED' | 'AVAILABLE' | 'UNLOCKED';  
+ /\*_ Calculated position for drawing lines _/  
+ domRect?: DOMRect;  
+}
+
+export interface SkillTreeEvents {  
+ /\*_ Dispatched when user attempts to spend SP _/  
+ 'unlock-request': {  
+ nodeId: string;  
+ cost: number;  
+ };  
+}
+
+**3. Interaction Logic**
+
+### **A. Node Status Calculation**
+
+The UI must determine the state of every node on render:
+
+1. **UNLOCKED:** `unit.classMastery.unlockedNodes.includes(node.id)`
+2. **AVAILABLE:** Not unlocked AND `parent` is Unlocked AND `unit.level >= node.req`.
+3. **LOCKED:** Everything else.
+
+### **B. Connection Drawing**
+
+Since nodes are DOM elements, we need a `ResizeObserver` to track their positions.
+
+- **Logic:** Calculate center `(x, y)` of Parent Node and Child Node relative to the Container.
+- **Drawing:** Draw a `<path>` or `<line>` in the SVG layer with a "Circuit Board" style (90-degree bends).
+- **Styling:**
+  - If Child is Unlocked: Line is **Bright Blue/Gold** (Neon).
+  - If Child is Available: Line is **Dim**.
+  - If Child is Locked: Line is **Dark Grey**.
+
+---
+
+## **4. Conditions of Acceptance (CoA)**
+
+**CoA 1: Dynamic Rendering**
+
+- The Tree must handle variable depths (Tier 1 to Tier 5).
+- Nodes must visibly update state immediately when `unit` prop changes (e.g., after unlocking).
+
+**CoA 2: Validation Feedback**
+
+- Clicking a "LOCKED" node should show the inspector but disable the button with a reason (e.g., "Requires: Shield Bash").
+- Clicking an "AVAILABLE" node with 0 SP should show "Insufficient Points".
+
+**CoA 3: Responsive Lines**
+
+- If the window resizes, the SVG connecting lines must redraw to connect the centers of the cubes accurately.
+
+**CoA 4: Scroll Position**
+
+- On open, the view should automatically scroll to center on the _highest tier_ that has an "Available" node, so the player sees their next step.
+
+---
+
+## **5. Prompt for Coding Agent**
+
+"Create `src/ui/components/SkillTreeUI.js` as a LitElement.
+
+1. **CSS 3D:** Implement a `.voxel-node` class using `transform-style: preserve-3d` to create a cube. Use keyframes for rotation.
+2. **Layout:** Render the tree tiers using `flex-direction: column-reverse` (Tier 1 at bottom).
+3. **SVG Lines:** Implement a `_updateConnections()` method that uses `getBoundingClientRect()` to draw lines between nodes in an absolute-positioned `<svg>`. Call this on resize and first render.
+4. **Interactivity:** Clicking a node selects it. Show details in a fixed footer.
+5. **Logic:** Calculate `LOCKED/AVAILABLE/UNLOCKED` state based on `this.unit.unlockedNodes`."

+Here is the complete breakdown of Mission: Tutorial 01 ("Protocol: First Descent").
+
+This flow combines the Mission Config, the Narrative Script, and the Gameplay Objectives into one cohesive experience.
+
+1. Mission Overview
+   Context: The player has just arrived in the Hub City (The neutral zone near the Spire).
+
+Patron: Director Vorn of the Cogwork Concord (The Technocracy). He is using this mission to test if your squad is competent enough to hire.
+
+Setting: The Rusting Wastes. A controlled, smaller map (Fixed Seed 12345) ensuring a fair first fight.
+
+Objective: Eliminate 2 Shardborn Sentinels.
+
+Rewards: Unlocks the Tinker Class (Vorn's signature class) and basic currency.
+
+2. The Playthrough Script
+   Phase 1: The Hook (Cinematic)
+   Trigger: Player clicks "New Descent" -> "Start Mission".
+
+Visuals: The screen dims. The Dialogue Overlay slides up.
+
+Dialogue (Director Vorn):
+
+Slide 1: "Explorer. You made it. Good. My sensors are bleeding red in Sector 4."
+
+Slide 2: "Standard Shardborn signature. Mindless, aggressive, and unfortunately, standing on top of my excavation site."
+
+Slide 3: "I need the perimeter cleared. Don't disappoint me."
+
+System Action: The Narrative Manager triggers START_DEPLOYMENT_PHASE. The HUD appears.
+
+Phase 2: Deployment (Tutorial)
+Visuals: The map loads. A bright Green Grid highlights the spawn zone.
+
+Tutorial Overlay: A pop-up points to the Team Bench.
+
+Text: "Drag units from the bench to the Green Zone."
+
+Action: Player places a Vanguard and an Aether Weaver.
+
+Action: Player clicks "INITIATE COMBAT".
+
+Phase 3: The Skirmish (Gameplay)
+Turn 1 (Player):
+
+The player moves the Vanguard forward.
+
+System Event: The game detects the player ended a turn exposed.
+
+Mid-Mission Trigger: Vorn interrupts briefly (Narrative Overlay).
+
+Vorn: "Careful! You're exposed. End your move behind High Walls (Full Cover) or Debris (Half Cover) to survive."
+
+Turn 1 (Enemy):
+
+The Corrupted Sentinel charges but hits the Vanguard's shield (reduced damage due to cover).
+
+Turn 2 (Player):
+
+The player uses the Aether Weaver to cast Fireball.
+
+The Sentinel dies. Objective Counter: 1/2.
+
+Phase 4: Victory (Resolution)
+Action: Player kills the second enemy.
+
+Visuals: "VICTORY" banner flashes.
+
+Outro Cinematic (Dialogue Overlay):
+
+Director Vorn: "Efficient. Brutal. I like it."
+
+Director Vorn: "Here's your payment. And take these schematics—you'll need an engineer if you want to survive the deeper levels."
+
+Rewards: The Tinker class card is added to the Roster.
