v0.0.674

Stabilized Dragon directional animation during movement and attacks.
Added turn-rate limiting so Dragon facing/look direction cannot thrash every frame when vectors jitter.
Dragon directional row selection now follows Dragon AI-owned look direction, preventing rapid sprite flashing.
Reworked Dragon combat flow to cycle between pressure and disengage phases.
Dragon now alternates between timed engage windows (direct combat) and timed kite windows (disengage + healing).
During engage windows, Dragon still uses existing melee vs flame-breath attack choice behavior.
During kite windows, Dragon prioritizes spacing and healing instead of over-committing to avoidance indefinitely.
Exposed new Dragon behavior tuning in enemy data.
Added dragon.engageDurationMin/Max, dragon.kiteDurationMin/Max, and dragon.turnMinInterval tuning keys in data/enemies.json.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.674.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.674.

Fixed fog-of-war reveal loss when moving through interior doors.
Interior round-trips now restore per-map fog snapshots correctly instead of resetting discovery.
Returning to a previously visited map (for example Main.tmx) now preserves previously explored tiles.
Improved fog-state restore correctness for map swaps.
Added fog-layer state import support that rebuilds explored tile memory from saved fog states.
Saved snapshots normalize transient Visible tiles to Fogged so only exploration progress persists between map visits.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.673.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.673.

Improved Discord OAuth diagnostics and hang handling during account linking.
Added auth-bootstrap logging (autoAuthorize, resolved token cache path, and selected scopes) to make startup auth path visible in logs.
Added a 45s authorize watchdog that aborts stalled authorize flows and surfaces a clear actionable error instead of indefinite connecting/initializing.
Added explicit error escalation when desktop Discord is not detected during active authorize.
Updated Discord auth defaults and build/version alignment.
Discord runtime configuration.jsonnow defaultsauth.scopestoopenid sdk.social_layer_presence`.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.671.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.671.

Added Discord OAuth token bootstrap before SDK connect.
DiscordRuntime now performs Authorize + GetToken + UpdateToken flow when no valid cached token is available.
Runtime now stores/loads token cache at auth.tokenCachePath and refreshes tokens automatically via RefreshToken and token-expiration callbacks.
Discord connect now happens after a token is successfully applied, preventing empty-token gateway auth failures (4004).
Added data-driven Discord auth runtime config.
Discord runtime configuration.jsonnow supportsauthsettings:enabled, autoAuthorize, scopes, redirectUri, tokenCachePath, and refreshBeforeExpirySeconds`.
Default config now uses desktop OAuth redirect http://127.0.0.1/callback and cache path local Discord auth cache.
Updated build/version alignment.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.670.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.670.

Fixed Discord Rich Presence startup defaults for local VS26 Release runs.
Discord runtime configuration.json` now enables Discord runtime by default and includes the Wardens of Wen Discord application id.
CMake option ZETA_ENABLE_DISCORD now defaults to ON so fresh configure/build flows include Discord SDK wiring automatically when SDK artifacts are present.
Improved Discord build/version consistency.
Updated player-visible build string to Pre-Alpha | Build v0.0.669.
Updated Discord join-service test build-tag fixtures to v0.0.669.

Added automated Discord preflight matrix tooling.
Added scripts/discord_preflight.ps1 to run Discord ON/OFF configure-build-test validation in a single command.
Script now runs zeta, Discord unit tests, and join regression tests, then prints a pass/fail summary per mode.
Improved Discord release docs discoverability.
Discord runbook now documents the preflight script as the recommended release-check entry point.
README now links the preflight script command alongside Discord runbook guidance.

Added Discord rollout and QA operations runbook coverage.
Added docs/Discord_Integration_Runbook.md with preflight build/test commands, deterministic validation checklist, and runtime rollback procedure.
Improved Discord configuration guidance.
README now links directly to the Discord integration runbook for release validation.

Added Discord runtime fallback hardening controls.
Discord runtime configuration.jsonnow supportsfeatureFlags.identity, featureFlags.activity, and featureFlags.join` kill switches for rapid rollback.
Added featureFlags.diagnosticsOverlay to gate dev-only diagnostics visibility at runtime.
Added a dev-only in-run Discord diagnostics panel.
HUD debug layer now shows SDK/runtime status, linked identity status, last activity publish timestamp, and the latest Discord join-callback outcome.
Added dev-console command discord_diag [on|off|toggle] for QA-friendly diagnostics toggling.
Expanded Discord join regression coverage.
DiscordJoinServiceTests now includes disabled-mode behavior checks to validate graceful fallback when join integration is switched off.
