v0.0.716

Fixed Raven bear/wolf shapeshift animation stitching and attack direction mapping.
Bear/Wolf form attacks now use explicit 4-row directional mappings (Right, Left, Down, Up) instead of generic melee variant row selection.
Wolf movement rows now respect the authored non-combat ordering, including the skipped spacer row before Walk Up.
Fixed Raven form-kit hotkey slot offsets in Bear and Dire Wolf forms.
Added form primary attacks back to slot M1 so abilities 1/2/3/4 bind correctly to active form abilities.
Fixed Raven human-form auto-attack regression after shapeshift return.
Returning to human now restores Druid offense type to ranged, so projectile auto-attacks resume correctly.
Improved Dire Wolf form visual scale consistency.
Dire Wolf base in-world size now matches hero-scale presentation (up from the prior undersized form).
Bear/Wolf combat sheet render normalization now follows movement-vs-combat frame-size ratios to prevent attack-time scale popping.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.716.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.716 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.717).

Updated Sage Snake summon combat behavior to melee.
Snake summons now use melee offense (offensiveType: Melee) instead of firing projectiles.
Snake attack range was tightened to close-range (22) so snakes approach enemies before attacking.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.715.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.715 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.716).

Fixed Snake idle animation rows and frame playback.
Snake idle now animates using the first two Snake.png rows (Idle Right, Idle Left) with frame sequencing left-to-right.
Snake idle front/back mapping now points to idle rows instead of walk rows, preventing walk-cycle visuals while stationary.
Removed single-frame snake idle override that caused fallback full-sheet rendering.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.714.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.714 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.715).

Fixed Snake combat-size parity and stationary idle behavior.
Snake combat render normalization now follows the movement/combat frame-width ratio (24:16) so attack visuals match non-combat perceived size.
Snake idle now uses a true stationary frame when not moving/attacking, preventing walk-loop playback while standing still.
Snake mini-unit movement idle threshold was tightened to suppress low-speed drift animation jitter.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.713.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.713 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.714).

Fixed Snake summon attack-sheet render normalization so combat no longer shrinks.
Snake combat rendering now stays at full 1:1 16x16 in-world footprint while using 24x24 attack frames from Snake_Attack.png.
Added a snake-specific combat-scale guard in mini-unit spawn setup to keep movement/combat size parity.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.712.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.712 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.713).

Fixed Sage Snake summon sprite-sheet mapping and combat sheet stitching.
Snake movement now uses explicit non-combat row mapping from Snake.png (idle right/left, walk right/left/down/up, death right/left).
Snake attack now uses explicit directional rows from Snake_Attack.png (right/left/down/up) instead of generic paired melee-variant row logic.
Snake combat sheet frame size is now 24x24 (from 96x96 source) with combat render scaling so in-world size stays at 16x16.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.711.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.711 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.712).

Updated Sage/George summon UI and supply feedback.
Sage selected-summon UI now shows Snake / Beetle; George keeps Warrior/Archer/Cleric/Wizard.
HUD wallet now always shows real-time Supply used/max for Sage and George.
Fixed Sage summon visuals/combat behavior.
Snake and Beetle summons now render at true 16x16 scale with matching hitboxes.
Snake summons now use assets/Sprites/Units/Snake/Snake_Attack.png attack animation sheet while attacking.
Beetle auto-attack visuals now mirror Jade Earth level-1 projectile style without poison effect application.
Fixed summon supply lifecycle.
Sage summons now correctly release occupied supply when they die or expire.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.710.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.710 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.711).

Fixed selected-units fallback HUD leaking through when opening George’s build menu.
Pressing V with units selected now suppresses the legacy selected-units fallback panel while the build menu is open.
The fallback selected-units hit-region and combat-toggle input are now gated by the same visibility conditions used for selected-units overlay arbitration.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.709.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.709 (mismatch assertion moved to v0.0.710).
