1be1f24562 feat(asset-bridge): item and land art on demand, hued where the files are (Phase 5)
The body catalogue is a set; this is not. This client addresses 49,152 static
ids and has art for 39,189 of them, plus 4,244 land tiles of 16,384 -- and hues
multiply the statics by three thousand. So there is no manifest and no scan:
`assets.fetch` grows two more families (`static`, `land`) and answers the keys
the website's own data names.

`assets.fetch` becomes shared plumbing. BridgeAssets now owns the command, does
the reqId/consent/key-ceiling checks once, derives the family from the keys
themselves (§5 made the key the address; a request that also named its family
would have two places to be wrong and one of them silent) and dispatches to the
reader that registered it. A batch must be of one family, because the reply
carries one `catalog` id. `assets.sources` gains `families` -- additive, so the
protocol stays 8, and EXTRACTOR_VERSION stays 2 because no existing key's bytes
change.

Two traps, both in §4.5's family -- a confident, plausible, wrong picture:

- `Art.GetStatic` memoises into a static Bitmap[0xFFFF] and hands back the SAME
  instance, while `Hue.ApplyTo` repaints in place. Hue a static once and the
  plain key comes back hued from then on, and the next hue stacks on the last.
  Measured on this client before the fix. `Files.CacheData` is now off for the
  life of the process; `TryHue` re-checks it and refuses rather than risk it,
  and the same flag decides whether a bitmap is ours to dispose.

- `PartialHue` decides whether a hue repaints every pixel or only the grey ones,
  per item id, out of `tiledata.mul` -- 13,259 of 65,536 ids on this client.
  Item 597 is a wooden screen with painted flowers: one mode reddens the
  flowers, the other the whole screen. Both decode. The first cut of this reader
  bound `TileData` to ServUO's OWN `Server.TileData` (the enclosing namespace
  beats `using Ultima;`, and it has a PartialHue flag too), which compiled and
  refused every hued key at runtime. Every such type is spelled `Ultima.` now.

Land takes no hue segment: the mode that decides how is an item flag and land
has no equivalent, so `land/3/h33` is refused rather than guessed. `h0` is not a
key either -- hue 0 means "not hued", and the plain key already names it.

Measured through the reader over the whole range: 39,189 statics and 4,244 land
tiles served, and the only refusals are the 9,963 + 12,140 empty index slots
§4.5 predicted. Nothing that carries art is refused.

64c0ec00b1 feat(asset-bridge): the body catalogue and slug to body id (Phase 3)
Two request families, and they run on opposite threads on purpose.

`assets.bodies` (BridgeBodies) answers the question only code inside ServUO
can: the atlas knows a creature by the class name in Spawns/*.xml, the client
knows it by a body id, and nothing in the tree declares the mapping. Construct
the type, read Body.BodyID, Delete(). That is world mutation, so it answers on
the CORE thread and is the one family here that does not take the asset
worker's slot -- and the batch is capped at 100 names, REFUSED rather than
truncated, because a truncated answer is indistinguishable from a complete one
from the website's side.

`assets.manifest` / `assets.fetch` (BridgeCatalog) are the catalogue, on the
worker. The manifest carries { key, sha256, bytes, width, height } and no
pixels, so an Update fetches only what moved; the fetch carries base64 PNG.
The scan keeps the bytes it hashed rather than decoding all 787 sprites twice.

Three things worth stating about the shapes:

- It pages on the WALL CLOCK as well as on bytes. The rows are ~90 bytes and
  the whole catalogue is one page by the byte budget, but building it means
  decoding hundreds of sprites against a 10 s reply timeout.
- `catalog` is derived from the client files (sizes, mtimes, both direction
  settings, EXTRACTOR_VERSION), not minted per build -- the cache is released
  when idle, and a fresh id per build would force a restart mid-import although
  nothing about the client moved.
- ARGB1555 is expanded to 32bpp here rather than handed to GDI+, because what
  it does with a one-bit alpha channel varies by platform and a black rectangle
  behind every sprite would pass any test that only checked the bytes decoded.

Nothing trusts the library's success. Every body goes through CheckEntry and
AnimationRecordSane before it is decoded, which is what keeps the 357 bodies
whose index entry reads `length 0` -- and which the decoder hands back the
PREVIOUS creature's bitmap for -- out of the catalogue.

Walked on a live shard: 787 rows in one 734 ms page; bodies 320, 607, 666 all
absent rather than wrong; 783 at direction 1 and 4 at direction 0; all 455 stock
creature classes resolved at ~190 ms per 100 with zero mobiles leaked.

c89e818dbf feat(asset-bridge): the transport, and the 357 wrong pictures it found
Asset Bridge phase 1 (docs/link/v8.md §16). Sidecar half: RunicGateway/link#41.
Docs half: RunicGateway/docs#236.

The transport for protocol 8, plus phase 0's validator promoted into the overlay
and extended to animations — which is where the interesting part is.

## 357 of the 1,144 "decodable" bodies are wrong pictures, on a STOCK client

Phase 0 measured the art path and left the animation half unbuilt. It has the same
defect, and it is worse: `GetAnimation` decodes through
`new MemoryStream(m_StreamBuffer, false)` — the whole shared buffer, not the
`length` bytes just read into it — so a truncated or absent record does not even hit
end-of-stream. It sails on into the previous animation's bytes.

Measured directly, because no count could tell:

| Decode body 320 (`lookup 22638982, length 0`) straight after… | Comes back |
|---|---|
| body 12, the dragon | the dragon, 176x167, identical hash |
| body 34, the wolf | the wolf's dimensions, 35x34 |
| body 400, the human male | the human, 27x63, identical hash |

The catalogue is **787 bodies, not 1,144**. Importing the other 357 would have written
duplicate creature portraits into the site showing whichever body the walk decoded
before them.

The record walk refused **0** real bodies on the stock client — the false-refusal
measurement §4.5 says the boundary depends on.

## And four of the twelve player bodies, not six

§5.2 listed the elf ghosts (607, 608) as decoding. Their index entry is `length 0`;
what came back was the elf female at her exact dimensions, because 606 is what the
walk decoded immediately before. Confirmed the same way — 607 after the dragon is
the dragon. Phase 4's UOP decoder now covers eight ids rather than six.

## What is here

- **`overlay/Scripts/Custom/Bridge/BridgeAssets.cs`** — the plane. Accepts on the Core
  thread, hands off to a dedicated asset worker, returns immediately. Three rules, all
  answering a specific failure:
  - **one slot**, second request answered `bridge.busy` (425). `Emit`'s queue is bounded
    in *lines*, so 10,000 queued 200 KB replies is 2 GB of shard memory; the bound that
    holds is flow control, on the side where the memory is.
  - **byte budgets** (`AssetBatchBytes`, 512 KiB) under the sidecar's new 1 MiB cap. The
    factor of two is load-bearing: a page always admits its first item, so it may
    overshoot by one, and the headroom is what makes that land on the wire.
  - **replies, never events** — no `reqId`, no answer. An uncorrelated frame is an event
    by definition, and §3.1 is why none of this may be one.
- **`PageBuilder`** — one paging envelope (`more`/`cursor`/`cut`) for all five families
  that will page, defined before the first one needs it. `cut` matters: "short page" has
  three meanings and only `end` means finished.
- **`assets.sources`** — stage 1 of the import gate, its first user.
- **`BridgeAssetValidator.cs`** — promoted from `tools/`, plus `ResolveAnimation` (the
  never-sweep-file-types rule as code, with no loop and no fallback),
  `AnimationRecordSane` and the frame walk.
- **`EXTRACTOR_VERSION`**, **`overlay.toml` protocol 7 → 8**, `AssetsEnabled`.

## Hashing had to come off the request path

§6's gate is (size, mtime) first, hash only when those differ. The first call has nothing
cached, so that still means hashing 1.06 GB — inside the sidecar's 10 s reply timeout it
does not fit. So hashes are computed on their own thread (deliberately not the single-slot
worker, which would answer every status poll `bridge.busy` for the whole pass) and the
reply carries `hashing`/`complete`.

Measured on the real rig: first call instant with `sha256: null`, second call **44 ms**
with every hash present.

## Verified on the wire, not just compiled

Real ServUO 57.4 + the real sidecar + the real client. `GET /assets/sources` → 200,
`X-UOLink-Version: 8`, `imaging: {ok: true}`, and §4.6's diagnostic firing on a live
client: `artDataFile: artlegacymul.uop`, with `art.mul` and `artidx.mul` both carrying
`shadowedBy`. Live events kept flowing through the new capped reader with no warnings.

Not exercised live: the disabled-plane 403 and the busy 425 (both unit-tested on the
sidecar side; the shard halves are a config read and a lock).

f6a86ff8c2 feat(bridge): what an event borrows, and the two one-shots (Phase 12b)
The shard half of protocol 7 part b. Two lease planes whose value lives on
something already in the world, and two verbs that cannot be taken back.

A LEASE HERE MUST BE PERSISTED, AND THE CONFIG PLANE'S MUST NOT

11b's fail-safe is stated plainly in its own header: a lease that never reaches
disk means a shard restart is a FREE restore. That argument depends entirely on
the leased value being memory-only too, and here it is not. A spawner is an Item
and is in the world save; a seasonal entry is written to
`Saves/Misc/SeasonalEvents.bin` by ServUO's own `EventSink.WorldSave`. So a
restart does not put either back -- it puts the CHANGE back and throws away the
deadline timer that was going to undo it, leaving the world at the leased value
with nothing here remembering it is borrowed.

So the Bridge gains its THIRD save file, `Saves/Bridge/Leases.bin`, written by
the same `EventSink.WorldSave` that writes what it describes, with deadlines
re-armed at load. A deadline that passed while the shard was down fires AT ONCE:
the promise was "back at baseline by then", and extending it would silently turn
a two-hour lease into however long the outage was. Config holds are still not
written down -- the same argument, applied to planes where its premise is false.

A TARGET IS A SERIAL OR A UniqueId, AND BOTH ARE NEEDED

A serial is what `[props` shows a GM. An `XmlSpawner.UniqueId` is what the
shard's own `Spawns/*.xml` carry -- and it is not a convenience: a dropdown built
from serials is IMPOSSIBLE, because serials are assigned when the world is built
and nothing off-shard knows them. A lease addressable only by serial could have
no authoring list at all.

`Spawner` and `XmlSpawner` share all four property names, which is a fact about
this tree rather than a convenience: the spawn files load as XmlSpawners while
`[add spawner` makes the native one. And it is `MaxCount`, not the `Amount`
EVENTS_PLAN.md named -- there is no such property. `MinDelay`/`MaxDelay` are
TimeSpans, so the wire carries seconds.

The allowlist is checked against the object's OWN type, which is the sentence the
whole plane rests on: a serial is a number a caller chooses, so that check is all
that stands between `Spawner.MaxCount` and any item on the shard. Reflection is
bounded three ways -- the pair must be in the catalog, the property must carry
`CommandProperty` (so this can never reach further than `[set` could), and its
CLR type must be one this file renders.

THE SELF-CHECK, AND THE ONE FAILURE NO PROBE CAN CATCH

§N10 in full: a config key is probed live (write, read back, restore) because
there is exactly one of it. A property CANNOT be -- thousands of instances and no
canonical one, so probing would mean writing to somebody's spawner at boot. What
is verified instead is everything verifiable without touching the world.

And `TreasuresOfTokuno` is excluded by name, because `IsActive()` reads its own
`DropEra` rather than `Status`: the write succeeds, the value reads back, a
compare-and-set restore passes, and the capability does nothing at all. That is
N10's "capability that lies" in its purest form and the only way to find it is to
read the source. §G also called this toggle "small and safe" -- it is safe, but
`OnStatusChange()` generates or removes world content for six of the eight.

THE ONE-SHOTS

Who receives a grant is answered HERE. The website has the list too, but a module
cannot read core's tables, so the alternative was a new core surface handing
participants to a module. Not needed: 11b's participation ledger already holds
them, keyed by the same serials. A run with no ledger is a 404; a run whose
ledger is open and empty is a 200 with `granted: 0`, because an event nobody
attended still happened. An undeliverable grant is DELETED rather than dropped --
`AddItem` failing on a full backpack would otherwise leave it at (0,0).

A save stops the world, so it is rate-limited rather than capped, counting
ServUO's own autosave as the last one. Refused, never queued: a queued save would
land at a moment nobody chose.

VERIFIED

Compiles clean (0 warnings, 0 errors). Then a full walk on the real local ServUO
57.4 world against the release sidecar:

- all six catalog keys survive the boot self-check; `current` is correctly absent
  on the targeted rows and filled when a target is named;
- a spawner reads the same by UniqueId and by serial;
- TWO RUNS ON TWO SPAWNERS BOTH SUCCEED while a second run on the SAME spawner is
  refused -- the whole reason for the targeted ref;
- a GM edit behind the plane's back yields `lease.drifted` and the world is left
  at 55, not reverted; a clean release restores to baseline;
- ToT refused with its own reason, a bad status refused, Fellowship toggled;
- grant: no ledger 404, empty ledger 200 `granted: 0`, unknown item 400, over the
  stack bound 400; save 200 then 429 inside the interval;
- BOTH HOLDS AND BOTH LEASED VALUES SURVIVE save + clean shutdown + restart, the
  deadlines re-arm, and a release across the restart still compare-and-sets;
- with only a CONFIG lease held, `Leases.bin` is 8 bytes and names nothing;
- refusals: targeted-with-no-target, untargeted-with-a-target, out of range, over
  30 days, a target that is not there, and a `ChainChest` refused as a spawner;
- 90 seconds becomes `00:01:30` and the baseline reads back as 18000;
- a deleted target reads `unreadable` and releases `targetGone: true`.

The test world was never saved after the deliberate deletion, so it is intact.

0182732d63 feat(bridge): the world verbs an event owns (protocol 7, Phase 12a)
Five verbs an author sees -- creatures, an enhanced "boss", an oracle NPC, a
temporary gate, decoration -- and ONE command family underneath them, because
every one of them ends in the same sentence: an object exists, and this run
owns it. `world.spawn` / `world.despawn` / `world.owned` carry a `what`
discriminator, and the per-verb differences are fields rather than kinds.

The ownership registry is PERSISTED, and that is forced rather than chosen. A
spawned creature is in the world save, so it survives the restart that proves a
town-crier line gone -- which already rules out reconcile-by-boot-stamp. But the
record of which run owns which serial has nowhere else to live: in memory it is
lost in the restart the creatures survive, and only in the website's ledger it
is not held here at all, so `world.despawn` would delete whatever serial it was
handed and "never touches a creature it did not create" would have no mechanism
behind it. So the Bridge gains its second persisted file beside
`Participation.bin` -- written by the same world save as the objects it
describes, so the two cannot get out of step.

The oracle is ours rather than `XmlSpawner2.XmlDialog`'s, and that engine is the
reason for both halves of the decision. Its `SpeechEntry` is the evidence the
shape is right -- `Text` plus comma-separated `Keywords`, a keyword-less entry
as the greeting, a proximity range, a conversation lock. It is also why not to
build on it: `SpeechEntry` carries an `Action` string, XmlSpawner's
command-scripting language, which would leave an arbitrary-command field one
step from an event author. `Mobile.OnMovement` (delivered to every mobile in
range -- the `HandlesOnMovement` filter applies only to Items) and
`Mobile.HandlesOnSpeech`/`OnSpeech` are native virtuals and are all it needs.

Every `Bridge.EventsMax*` REFUSES rather than clamps, on `LeaseMaxDurationSec`'s
argument from 11b: the shard's bound exists for the case where the website is
wrong. `Bridge.EventsEnabled` gates all of it -- spawning is the same consent
11b introduced that switch for, not a third one.

Decoration carries an `itemId`, because `Static` accounts for 5031 of the tree's
decoration placements under 1992 different graphics: for that class the graphic
IS the identity. Never applied to a `BaseAddon`, whose own ItemID is not what a
player sees. Containers are refused outright -- teardown would delete whatever a
player had left inside.

`tools/scaffolding` gains `worldgone <serial>`, which deletes an object behind
the registry's back. It is the one outcome the rig cannot reach by asking the
bridge -- every bridge verb that removes an object also drops its row -- and it
is what a player's sword does every time they kill an event creature.

Verified on a real ServUO 57.4 world (206k items, 42k mobiles) against the
release sidecar: all five verbs place; every ceiling refuses; a container and an
unknown type refuse; one run cannot despawn another's object; the registry and
its objects both survive a save and a clean restart (`pruned: 0`); a creature
deleted behind the registry's back comes back `gone` rather than `removed`; and
a five-second gate is collected by the shard's own deadline with `world.expired`
on the wire.

63a7dc4374 feat(bridge): lease deadlines and the participation ledger (Phase 11b)
Protocol 6 amended in place. Two mechanisms behind one new default-off gate,
`Bridge.EventsEnabled` -- deliberately not `AdminWriteEnabled`, because enabling
the admin plane is consenting to staff moderation from a screen a human is
looking at, and this is consenting to the world being changed and watched on a
schedule, unattended.

BridgeLeases: a live config value held for a bounded time, with the deadline
honoured on the shard whether or not the website is heard from again, and a
compare-and-set restore that reports `drifted` rather than overwriting a GM's
deliberate change. Memory-only -- nothing calls Config.Save() -- so a restart is
a free restore.

BridgeParticipation: presence in a declared area plus kill credit inside it,
keyed by character serial, persisted in the world save. The Bridge's first
persisted state, because a run spans hours and an in-memory tally would regress
every attendee's score after one restart. Its snapshot is also the first handler
that DEFERS, which makes `bridge.busy` reachable for the first time.

And it immediately found a defect in 11a: BridgeIdempotency.Busy built its frame
with Begin("bridge.busy") and then appended a diagnostic `.Str("kind", ...)`, so
the object carried two `kind` fields and every JSON parser takes the last. The
sidecar answered 200 instead of 425. Renamed `busyKind`.

7aa7bc8032 feat(bridge): protocol 6 — an idempotency key, and champ.boss.killed (Phase 11a)
A command carrying an `idempotencyKey` is now executed at most once: a repeat is
answered with the original reply rather than re-run. That is the precondition
every world verb in Phase 12 is waiting on, and it is what let `uo.broadcast`
stop being un-retryable.

The gate sits in BridgeBoot's inbound dispatch, not in each handler, so it covers
every kind including ones a later protocol adds. A command with no key behaves
exactly as it did before, which leaves the admin screens unchanged.

Four rules, each a decision rather than an implementation detail: reserve on
receipt (so a handler that defers is covered, answering `bridge.busy` to a repeat
in flight); a key that has begun is never released, not even when the handler
throws; a replay is stamped with the REPEAT's correlation id, because the
sidecar's reqId is fresh per call and replaying the original would hang the retry;
and the bound is loud, because an evicted key is the guarantee's one hole.

`champ.boss.killed` rides along because a bump costs a release, a bundle and an
operator update on every shard. It fires from EventSink.CreatureDeath, detected
by type so a boss that popped and died inside one sweep is still reported, and it
carries the damage table that exists at the death and nowhere else.

overlay.toml protocol = 6, in this commit rather than a later one.

48d57e6278 feat(bridge): publish the player-vendor market index as vendor.listing
Protocol 3.0 §8. Every player vendor's shop name, owner, location and priced
inventory, so the website can offer the search the in-game Vendor Search gump
offers — from outside the game, and honouring the same per-player opt-out.

It cannot be an RPC. rpc.rs correlates a reply on the FIRST frame carrying a
matching reqId, so a chunked reply sharing one reqId would deliver chunk 1 to the
HTTP caller and leak chunks 2..N onto the broadcast feed; a whole-world snapshot
would not fit in one frame inside the 10 s timeout either. So it is a diff sweep
on the broadcast stream, one authoritative frame per vendor.

The one genuinely new pattern here is an amortized round-robin: every other sweep
walks its whole collection per tick, which is fine for tens of houses and is not
fine for a world of shops whose inventories recurse into containers.
MarketSweepBatch (25) vendors are inventoried per tick from a persistent cursor,
so per-tick cost is bounded by the batch rather than by world size.

VendorSearch.GetItemName is never called: it builds an ObjectPropertyList,
serialises it and byte-parses the packet per item. The frame carries itemId, hue,
amount, price, the plain item.Name field and item.LabelNumber; the website
resolves names against its own cliloc table. (It would not work anyway — every
current client ships its cliloc files compressed and ServUO's Ultima.StringList
cannot read them, so the in-game gump has the same gap.)

Measured on the live shard (27 vendors x 40 listings, 209k items / 43k mobiles):
15.4 ms for the first cold tick of 25 vendors, 3.4 ms for the next, 0.3 ms in
steady state. `[bridge status` now reports lastMs/maxMs and a tick over 50 ms
warns, naming the knob — the batch cap is a claim about that number and an
operator tuning it was otherwise tuning blind.

- location is ONE nested object, not flat map/x/y/region, so the website's single
  market.location visibility rule can hide a vendor's whereabouts on both the
  live frame and the stored read model. Flat keys would need five rules.
- Owner is flat ownerSerial/ownerName, never BridgeJson.Actor, which would add
  acct and webId. Same argument points.board makes.
- pv.VendorSearch is honoured, so a shop hidden in game is hidden on the site;
  the seen-set removal then emits vendor.listing.remove.
- Container-priced items carry child:true, exactly as DoSearch reports them.
- Over MarketMaxListings (250) the frame says truncated and carries the real
  total, so the site shows "250 of 3,104" rather than a partial shop as complete.

ed8f568d94 feat(bridge): publish points/loyalty leaderboards as points.board
Protocol 3.0 §7 (docs/link/v3.md). ServUO carries ~25 separate point currencies
— Queen's Loyalty, Void Pool, Casino, Clean Up Britannia, the nine city
loyalties, the Doom/Khaldun/Kotl treasure systems — every one a standing players
build over months, and none of them visible outside an in-game gump until now.

BridgePoints.cs
  - A diff sweep shaped like BridgeHousing: ServerStarted arms the timer, a
    sidecar connect clears the diff state so a fresh sidecar gets every board,
    and each pass emits only the systems whose top N or participant count moved.
    One ~600 B frame per system rather than one 12 KB frame, matching
    champ.update / guild.update. No points.remove — the system set is fixed at
    startup by PointsSystem.Configure, the same argument city.update makes.
  - Selection is a single bounded pass into a fixed N-element array kept sorted
    by insertion, NOT OrderByDescending().Take(N). PlayerTable is a plain List
    and ten of the ~25 systems have AutoAdd = true, so they hold a row for every
    character ever created: the naive version is ~25 full sorts on the Core
    thread, which BRIDGE_PLUGIN_PLAN.md §1 measured as the second thing in the
    bridge capable of blowing a frame budget.
  - Which systems publish defaults to the shard's OWN answer — ShowOnLoyaltyGump
    — rather than a list here that would drift; Bridge.cfg PointsSystems=
    overrides it, and an unrecognised name is logged rather than dropped.
  - Entries are written inline as {serial, name}, never via BridgeJson.Actor. A
    board is the widest-audience surface the bridge has, so acct/webId
    deliberately do not cross the wire; the site resolves serial → user from its
    own link mirror.

char.profile gains a points block, the titles precedent from PROTOCOL_2.md §10.3
  - Never uses PointsSystem.GetEntry/GetPoints: both MUTATE THE WORLD, since
    GetEntry(create: false) still calls AddEntry when the system has AutoAdd
    (PointsSystem.cs:207). Using them would have appended up to ten rows to the
    points save file every time anyone opened a character sheet. Hand-rolled
    read-only scan instead.
  - rank is off by default (PointsProfileRank). A points lookup stops at the
    character's own row; a rank must count every row that beats them, in every
    system, on every profile build.

Verified by running it, not by reading it: the whole Scripts tree (6,207 files)
compiles clean against real ServUO 57.4 assemblies, and a boot against the local
shard with a 43,011-mobile world emitted five live boards. That run caught a bug
no fake shard could — ServUO's uncapped idiom is MaxPoints = double.MaxValue,
and (long) on it is an UNCHECKED conversion yielding long.MinValue, so the first
sweep published "maxPoints": -9223372036854775808 for three of the five boards.
Cap()/Score() now normalise anything unrepresentable, and maxPoints: 0 is the
documented "uncapped" value — which on a real shard is the common case, not an
edge case. Re-verified after the fix: 0 for the uncapped systems, 15000 and
10000 for the two that genuinely cap.

3fb4b7dc9f feat(bridge): emit world.ruleset, the shard's published ruleset
Protocol 3.0 §5 (docs/link/v3.md). One frame describing how this shard is
actually configured — expansion, which optional systems are on, skill/stat
caps, account and house limits, champion scroll rules, the save/restart
schedule — so the website's rules page cannot drift from the server.

Modelled on BridgeBoot.EmitHello, not on the diff sweeps: the ruleset changes
only when an operator edits a .cfg, so there is nothing to poll. It subscribes
Connected_Core, so a sidecar that comes up second still learns the ruleset,
and `[bridge reload` re-emits for an operator who just edited a file.

The frame is built from an EXPLICIT ALLOWLIST of Config.Get calls. Config.Entries
is never enumerated — that would sweep in every key on the server, secrets
included — and Server.cfg, Staff.cfg, Email.cfg, DataPath.cfg, Bridge.cfg,
Compiler.cfg, Reports.cfg and Client.cfg are named as excluded both here and in
a code comment. The one connection detail published is Bridge.PublicConnectAddress,
blank by default, which an operator sets deliberately for this purpose.

`rev` is FNV-1a over the body so an unchanged reconnect is a site-side no-op.
String.GetHashCode() is deliberately not used: it is seeded per process, so it
would change on every restart and defeat the diff.

Verified by compiling the full ServUO Scripts tree (6,205 files, net48, EJ) with
this overlay substituted for the deployed Bridge copy — clean.

a837edd5ee feat(protocol2): house registry board (Part B ph.3)
Overlay BridgeHousing (new): a diff sweep over BaseHouse.AllHouses ->
house.update / house.remove (owner, region, location, decay level, co-owners,
friends, placement price), complementing the existing house.decay transition
feed. HousingSweepSeconds (300s); wired into [bridge reload|sweepnow|status.
Stock ServUO has no "for sale" flag, so this is an owner->houses registry;
price is the placement value, not a listing.

Sidecar: houses board table with upsert/delete/all; main routes house.update/
remove into it; GET /houses served from the store.

Docs: INTEGRATION.md house.* events + /houses endpoint; PROTOCOL_2 ph.3 built.

Verified: sidecar cargo check clean; overlay compiles in the full ServUO
Scripts tree (0 errors, 0 warnings). Live run pending.

1244eb6c4f feat(protocol2): presence stream — online population + region transitions (Part B ph.2)
Overlay BridgePresence (new):
- presence.online sweep over online PlayerMobiles: total plus per-facet and
  per-region counts, emitted only when the population changes.
- region.enter real-time from EventSink.OnEnterRegion (player-filtered), the
  cheap location signal PLAN.md prefers over Movement.
- PresenceSweepSeconds (30s); wired into [bridge reload|sweepnow|status.

Sidecar:
- GET /online serves the latest presence.online snapshot from the event store
  (survives restart); population time series via /history?kind=presence.online.

Docs: INTEGRATION.md presence events + /online endpoint; PROTOCOL_2 ph.2 built.

Verified: sidecar cargo check clean; overlay compiles in the full ServUO
Scripts tree (0 errors, 0 warnings). Live run pending.

dd39d524c6 feat(protocol2): guild and town-governor world-state streams (Part B ph.1)
Adds the first Part B streams from docs/PROTOCOL_2.md: guild rosters and
town governors ("mayors"), both outbound diff-board sweeps mirroring the
existing champ board.

Overlay:
- BridgeSocial (new): guild sweep+diff over BaseGuild.List -> guild.update /
  guild.remove (full-state upsert; disband detected via Disbanded), plus a
  real-time guild.join from EventSink.JoinGuild. (EventSink.CreateGuild is only
  the load-time factory, so creation is derived sidecar-side from a first-seen
  id, as champs do.)
- BridgeGovernance (new): city sweep over CityLoyaltySystem.Cities -> city.update
  (governor / governor-elect / election phase), gated on CityLoyaltySystem.Enabled.
- BridgeJson.Actor: shared serial/name/acct/webId/player writer used by both.
- BridgeConfig: GuildSweepSeconds (60s), CitySweepSeconds (300s).
- BridgeBoot: both wired into [bridge reload|sweepnow|status.

Sidecar:
- store: guilds + governors board tables with upsert/delete/all.
- main: route guild.update/remove and city.update into the boards.
- web: GET /guilds, GET /governors served from the store (snapshot-companion
  rule, so a fresh page or a restarted sidecar hydrates without the shard).

Docs: INTEGRATION.md event catalog (guild.*, city.update) + board endpoints;
PROTOCOL_2.md Part B phase 1 marked built.

Verified: sidecar cargo check clean; overlay compiles in the full ServUO
Scripts tree (0 errors, 0 warnings). Live end-to-end run still pending.

9c3a33148b feat(champ): stream champion-spawn state to the sidecar board
Champion spawns have no ServUO EventSink, so add a fourth polled stream
(BridgeChamps) modeled on BridgeSweeps: enumerate every spawn each tick,
fold to a small record, and emit champ.update only on change. No core
patch — every field used is public.

Covers all three families via a `category` field:
  - champion: ChampionSpawn (type/level/kills/boss/cooldown ETA)
  - mini:     MiniChamp (type/level; auto-restarts, no kill counter)
  - sea:      BaseSeaChampion (a High Seas world-boss mobile, alive only
              while summoned; removed via champ.remove when slain)

Status folds to active/cooldown/dormant. A (re)connection clears the diff
cache so the next sweep re-emits the full board, rebuilding a sidecar that
restarted on its own. Transient entries leave via champ.remove.

Sidecar: a `champs` current-state table (one row per serial) fed by
champ.update (upsert) and champ.remove (delete), exposed at GET /champs as
the live board. New ChampSweepSeconds config (default 10s), wired into
[bridge reload/sweepnow/status. Documented in docs/INTEGRATION.md.

3ef607ee44 feat(pages): help-page (support) queue — stream, snapshot, respond, close
Phase 2 of docs/ADMIN_CONTROLS.md: surface the in-game help-page queue to the
website.

- BridgePages.cs: the queue has no EventSink, so it is polled (PageSweepSeconds,
  default 5s) and diffed, keyed by sender serial (one page per player) ->
  page.new / page.updated / page.closed. Inbound pages.snapshot -> pages.list;
  page.respond delivers a staff reply to the player (online: a gump now; offline:
  queued for next login; shows as "Staff") and can close; page.close removes it.
- BridgeConfig/Bridge.cfg: PageSweepSeconds. BridgeBoot: reload re-arms the poll,
  status reports it.
- sidecar/src/web.rs: GET /pages, POST /pages/{id}/respond, POST /pages/{id}/close.
- INTEGRATION.md: page events (§4) and endpoints (§6).
- tools/scaffolding/BridgePageProbe.cs: gated headless verification.

Verified live (probe-seeded tickets): snapshot returns the queue, the poll emits
page.new for both and page.closed on removal, respond -> 200, close removes the
page, unknown page -> 404.

7ea7570e5a Phase 3: polled sweeps (vitals, house decay, economy)
BridgeSweeps runs three repeating Core-thread timers for the state that has no
EventSink. Cost measured in Phase 1 is why they can run on the main thread: a
full pass of all three is well under a millisecond at the seeded scale.

  - Vitals: online players only. Small and volatile; the sidecar diffs snapshots.
    Offline characters do not move, so they are served on demand as full profiles
    instead, not swept.
  - House decay: emits only on a level transition. A silent baseline on
    ServerStarted records every house's current stage, so a restart does not
    re-announce them. Payload carries from/to, coords, nested ban location,
    region, sign name, owner serial+account, and built/refreshed timestamps, all
    null-guarded.
  - Economy supply: periodic sum of every account's currency as a snapshot. The
    level; AccountGoldChange and the vendor events are the flow.

All three re-arm on `[bridge reload`; `[bridge sweepnow` runs one of each on
demand; `[bridge status` reports sweep counters. Sweeps skip emitting while the
sidecar is disconnected, since their state is perishable and re-emitted next
tick anyway (unlike events, which queue through an outage).

Verified on the seeded world with 8s intervals: baseline recorded 29 houses
silently, a probe bumped one Somewhat->Fairly, and the next sweep emitted exactly
one house.decay and none for the other 28. Economy emitted a supply snapshot per
interval. Vitals emitted nothing, correctly, since all seeded characters are
offline. Evidence in docs/PLAN.md §13.

Adds tools/scaffolding/BridgeSweepProbe.cs (never deployed) to force a decay
transition on demand.

7c9ce9741a Phase 1: loopback transport to the sidecar
BridgeLink owns a TcpClient to 127.0.0.1 and nothing else touches it. Emit() is
called from the Core thread; it enqueues onto a bounded drop-oldest queue and
returns. A link thread drains the queue and reconnects with backoff; a reader
thread parses inbound lines and marshals each to the Core thread via
Timer.DelayCall. An absent, slow, or wedged sidecar therefore cannot stall the
shard, which is the property the rest of the bridge depends on.

Outbound JSON is written by hand into a StringBuilder because it runs on the
Core thread for every event and the measured budget assumes that cost. Inbound
uses JavaScriptSerializer: commands arrive at human rates, so correctness beats
speed, and parsing happens off the Core thread anyway. That needs a
System.Web.Extensions reference.

server.hello is emitted per connection rather than once at ServerStarted. A
sidecar that restarts independently would otherwise never learn which shard it
is attached to. It carries a bootId, stable across reconnects and fresh on every
shard restart, so the sidecar can tell "I reconnected" from "the shard
restarted" and keep or discard its cache accordingly.

Two defects found by testing and fixed before commit:

  - Backoff ceiling was 30s, so a sidecar restart cost up to half a minute of
    buffering on a loopback socket. Now 5s.
  - A stale reader could kill a fresh connection: reader.Join(1s) can time out,
    and the old thread's finally block then set the shared _dead flag, possibly
    tearing down the connection that had replaced it. Connections now carry an
    epoch and a reader only marks dead the one it owned.

Acceptance evidence recorded in docs/PLAN.md §11: boots with no sidecar, buffers
through the outage and drains on connect, round-trips ping/pong on the Core
thread, survives unknown kinds and malformed JSON, and reconnects unattended.
