# **Logic Systems Standards**

## **Effect Processor**

- **The Rulebook:** All game state mutations (Damage, Move, Spawn) **MUST** go through EffectProcessor.process().
- **Statelessness:** The processor should not hold state. It acts on the Unit and Grid passed to it.
- **Schema:** Effects must adhere to the EffectDefinition interface (Type \+ Params).

## **AI Controller**

- **Pattern:** Utility-Based Decision Making.
- **Execution:** AI does not cheat. It must use the same Pathfinding and SkillManager checks as the player.
- **Archetypes:** Logic must be driven by AIBehaviorProfile (e.g., Bruiser vs Kiter).

## **Unit Manager**

- **Role:** Single Source of Truth for "Who is alive?".
- **Queries:** Use getUnitsInRange() for spatial lookups. Do not iterate the Grid manually to find units.
