The DREAMBOOK always described "punch right/left [target]" as one command
with a direction argument, but the implementation had separate TOML files
and multi-word command names that the dispatcher couldn't reach (it only
matches the first word). Aliases like "pr" also couldn't pass targets
because the shared handler tried to re-derive the move from args.
Changes:
- Merge punch_left/right, dodge_left/right, parry_high/low into single
TOML files with [variants] sections
- Add command/variant fields to CombatMove for tracking move families
- load_move() now returns list[CombatMove], expanding variants
- Handlers bound to moves via closures at registration time:
variant handler for base commands (punch → parses direction from args),
direct handler for aliases and simple moves (pr → move already known)
- Core logic in do_attack/do_defend takes a resolved move
- Combat doc rewritten as rst with architecture details
- Simplify mud.tin aliases (pr/pl/etc are built-in MUD commands now)
how/ - how things work (terrain generation, command system)
why/ - design philosophy (telnet-first, text worlds)
lessons/ - things we learned the hard way (charset vs mtts)
Removes notes/ — DAYDREAMING.txt became DREAMBOOK.md, charset-vs-mtts
expanded into docs/lessons/ with the connect_maxwait fix documented.
