v0.0.748

• Advanced scripted and native mod runtime capabilities.
• ScriptRuntime now loads JSON entrypoints and executes bounded hook actions (add_copper, wave-clear bonus multipliers, and spawn_enemy requests).
• Wave-start script actions are now applied in runtime (scripted copper grants and enemy spawns), and wave-clear rewards now honor script-configured multipliers.
• Upgraded native plugin host from scaffold to dynamic loading path.
• NativePluginHost now resolves platform-specific plugin binaries, validates required exports/ABI/API metadata, and executes plugin lifecycle callbacks (OnLoad, OnTick, OnUnload) in unsafe mode.
• Added platform-aware binary resolution and actionable failure reasons (platform mismatch, binary not found, export missing, ABI mismatch).
• Added missing mod deliverables and tests.
• Added game/mods/ModRuntimeState.h/.cpp.
• Added tools/native_sdk/ (C ABI header, sample plugin CMake project, SDK README).
• Added script_runtime_tests and expanded mod_runtime_tests for digest and native-loader behavior.
• Packaging/docs updates.
• Packaging scripts now include tools/native_sdk/ as native_sdk/ in distributables.
• Expanded WardenModKit validate lint coverage for gameplay datasets and added starter schemas for enemies, waves, contracts, and rpg.
• WardenModKit init now scaffolds scripts/runtime.json and wires script entrypoints by default.
• Updated README.md, docs/MODDING_GUIDE.md, docs/MODDING_API.md, docs/NATIVE_PLUGIN_SDK.md, and docs/GAME_SPEC.md for new runtime behavior.
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.748.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.748 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.749).

v0.0.747

• Expanded mod validation test infrastructure for cleaner CI signal and compatibility coverage.
• Split workshop validation assertions into a dedicated steam_workshop_validation_tests target.
• Kept steam_workshop_tests focused on workshop manifest/load-policy and upload-tooling smoke behavior.
• Hardened native plugin compatibility digest regression coverage.
• mod_runtime_tests now asserts NativePluginHost::activePluginDigest() is non-empty, deterministic across repeated loads, and changes when permission/API gating state changes.
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.747.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.747 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.748).

v0.0.746

• Expanded automated coverage for workshop mod validation and native permission gates.
• steam_workshop_tests now validates root-level and nested workshop mod.json discovery.
• Added regression checks for invalid manifests, duplicate workshop IDs, diagnostics, and exported valid mod roots.
• Added SteamWorkshopService::setMountedRootsForValidation(...) to exercise validation deterministically without Steam runtime dependencies.
• Added native plugin host gating regression tests in the mod runtime suite.
• mod_runtime_tests now covers unsafe-mode rejection, API mismatch rejection, allow-list-required behavior, and permission normalization/denial paths.
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.746.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.746 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.747).

v0.0.745

• Expanded milestone runtime integration for modding, scripting, and workshop validation.
• Added script hook dispatch for enemy spawn/kill, player damage, pickup collection, wave start, boss spawn, and run start.
• Added native plugin permission allow-list validation and explicit unsafe-native warning paths.
• Added workshop-side manifest scanning with canonical mod-id validation and duplicate-id rejection diagnostics.
• Improved in-game Mods manager controls.
• Added Unsafe Native Mods: ON/OFF toggle directly in the Mods menu.
• Mods page now surfaces runtime warning counts and selected-mod missing dependency hints.
• Added WardenModKit CLI scaffolding and packaging coverage.
• Added tools/modkit + modtools with init, validate, pack, inspect, diff, and map validate commands.
• Added mod template/schema assets and packaged mods/ + modtools/ in all platform pack scripts.
• Added net/test/runtime safety coverage updates.
• Added net join regression for mod set mismatch in NetSessionJoinTests.
• Updated workshop manifest supported roots to include mods.
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.745.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.745 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.746).

v0.0.744

• Added milestone-0 runtime mod infrastructure and deterministic load order.
• Added engine/mod systems for mod.json parsing, discovery, dependency/load-hint resolution, and virtual filesystem mounting.
• Runtime mod precedence now resolves as enabled mods, then workshop roots, then base game roots.
• Wired core content loading through the mod-aware VFS.
• GameRoot::resolveAssetPath(...) now resolves through the shared mod VFS before fallback.
• Data loaders for asset manifest, enemies/units/allies, RPG data, waves/contracts, menu presets/abilities, and menu-attract config now use mod-aware path resolution.
• Improved TMX include fallback behavior for modded maps.
• TmxLoader now accepts include search roots and can resolve external TSX includes through mounted roots when map-relative includes are absent.
• Added runtime mod regression coverage.
• Added tests/ModRuntimeTests.cpp and mod_runtime_tests target (manifest/registry/resolver, VFS precedence, asset-manifest override, TMX include fallback).
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.744.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.744 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.745).

v0.0.743

• Fixed Combustion hazard hit detection to require direct flame contact.
• Combustion damage/ignite now triggers only while the hero collider overlaps the active flame footprint.
• Contact checks now clamp to the visible 32x32 flame bounds, preventing long-range ignition from oversized tuning radius values.
• Updated Combustion mutator text/tuning for clarity.
• Updated mutator description to explicitly state direct flame contact behavior.
• Updated default puddleRadius tuning to 16.0 (32x32 flame half-size).
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.743.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.743 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.744).

v0.0.742

• Adjusted Volatile death explosion sizing/placement for exact sprite-scale readability.
• Volatile Explosion1.png death FX now renders at fixed 32x32 in-world (1:1 with source frame size).
• Volatile explosion spawn is centered on the dying enemy position.
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.742.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.742 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.743).

v0.0.741

• Fixed volatile death explosion visibility layering.
• Volatile explosion overlay now computes a render sort bias from the dying enemy’s visual height so the explosion draws above the corpse reliably.
• Slightly increased minimum volatile explosion render span for better readability on small enemies while preserving enemy-scaled behavior.
• Updated build/version alignment.
• Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.741.
• Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.741 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.742).
