v0.0.898

Tightened the Dragon’s launch damage reach.
Airborne Dragon contact checks now use the body hitbox instead of the full sprite footprint, so launch and flight no longer hit from implausibly far away.
Reduced early Dragon damage spikes.
Wave-10 Dragon melee/contact damage now starts lower and ramps more cleanly into later rounds.
Dragon fire breath damage was also trimmed so the first boss encounter is less likely to one-shot healthy players.

Limited Father Mathias’s chapel blessing to one use per round.
The healing dialogue now tells you the blessing is once per round before purchase.
After using it, Father Mathias explicitly tells you to return next round for another full heal.

Fixed Father Mathias healing only partially applying in the chapel.
The church blessing now persists both restored health and restored shields while you remain inside the interior.

Toned down fast event enemies.
Assassinate Spawners and bounty-event enemies now use lower base move-speed tuning from data/gameplay.json.
Bounty board elite and boss writ targets now use smaller speed multipliers, reducing surprise sprint spikes in later waves.
Added stagger to high-speed event threats.
Event-marked and bounty-board enemies now briefly lose speed when damaged, making fast pursuers easier to read and kite without removing their pressure entirely.

Fixed attack audio replaying on dead enemies.
Hero auto-attacks now ignore enemies with 0 health when choosing a target, so sword and bow attack sounds stop retriggering on corpses that are waiting to despawn.

Added Loot Goblins.
Goblins can now roll into a cyan-marked Loot Goblin variant that laughs on spawn, refuses to attack, sprints away from nearby players, and leaves copper behind while fleeing.
Loot Goblins no longer block wave completion; if they survive as the last enemy, the wave advances, they escape, and a toast reports it.
Killing a Loot Goblin now showers the ground with multiple high-value item drops instead of normal goblin rewards.
Added loot goblin tuning controls.
data/gameplay.json now exposes spawn chance, flee/run/rest pacing, copper trail values, death-loot counts, and a wave-1 force-spawn toggle for dev testing.

Refined weather toast sizing.
Only the round weather toast now uses the wider auto-fit layout.
Other toasts no longer stretch to match the weather toast width.
Toasts now hug their own content more closely, reducing the extra empty space after short messages.

Fixed weather toast sizing.
Round weather toasts now expand to fit longer modifier text instead of clipping inside the old short pickup-toast width.
The fix applies to both the legacy toast renderer and the Rml HUD toast stack.
