Task 1 Progress

Initial Assessment (Completed)

• Repository Status: On branch master, ahead by 1 commit
• Uncommitted changes: docs/task1.md, package-lock.json
• Last commit: "Add task1_progress.md initial entry"
• Test Status: Failing - missing src/test/setup.ts module
• Created: src/test/setup.ts to fix test initialization

Task Breakdown from task1.md

Core Design Pillars (Must be enforced)

1. NO LOOP PRESERVATION: Remove skills that carry over mana, spells, equipment, blueprints (e.g., Temporal Memory, Emergency Reserve, Ancient Knowledge)
2. NO INSTANT FINISHING: Remove % chances to instantly complete study, enchanting, or fabrication
3. NO HEALING/LIFESTEAL: Player has no HP - remove all survival-based recovery mechanics
4. NO TIMER ALTERATION: Cannot extend, pause, or reset the 30-day limit
5. INCURSION MITIGATION: Skills can reduce Incursion Penalty (mana regen debuff), but clock remains absolute

Required Work

1. Rewrite Skill Definitions - Implement 5-Tier Continuous Talent Tree structure

   • Each skill max level 10
   • Milestone choices at Level 5 and Level 10 of EVERY Tier
   • Total: 10 unique perk choices for fully mastered T5 skill
   • Compounding Paths (e.g., Capacity vs. Efficiency)
   • Elite Perks at T3 L10 and T5 L10

2. Generate Visual Talent Trees for:

   • Mana Flow ✓
   • Quick Learner ✓
   • Invocation ✓
   • Pact Mastery ✓

3. Define Hybrid Skills:

   • Invoker + Enchanter = Pact-Weaving (TODO)
   • Fabricator + Invoker = Guardian Constructs (TODO)
   • Fabricator + Enchanter = Enchanted Golemancy (TODO)

4. Commit and push after each major section
