Replace local exact-match helpers with targeting module calls for
prefix matching and ordinal disambiguation. Works in get, drop, and
container extraction (get X from Y).
Objects were comparing by value instead of identity, causing
list.remove() to remove the wrong object when moving items with
identical attributes. Set eq=False on all dataclasses to use
identity-based comparison.
Implements a complete alias system allowing players to create command shortcuts.
Aliases are expanded during dispatch with a recursion guard (max 10 levels).
Changes:
- Add aliases field to Player dataclass (dict[str, str])
- Add player_aliases table to database schema
- Add save_aliases() and load_aliases() persistence functions
- Add alias/unalias commands with built-in command protection
- Integrate alias expansion into dispatch() before command resolution
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all features
Moved common test fixtures (mock_writer, mock_reader, test_zone, player,
nearby_player, clear_state) from individual test files into a shared
conftest.py. This eliminates duplication across test_power.py, test_sleep.py,
test_combat_zaxis.py, test_quit.py, test_stamina_cues.py, and
test_stamina_cue_wiring.py.
Some test files override specific fixtures where they need custom behavior
(e.g., test_quit.py adds a close method to mock_writer, stamina tests use
smaller zones and custom player positions).
Allows instant kill of unconscious opponents. Only works in combat on targets with unconscious posture. Ends encounter, handles mob despawn, sends dramatic messages to both parties.
Players become unconscious when PL or stamina drops to 0. While unconscious, both stats slowly recover at 0.1 per tick (1.0 per second). When both reach above 0, player regains consciousness with a message. Recovery runs in the main game loop via process_unconscious.
When altitude differs at resolve time (attacker or defender changed flying state during window phase), attack misses. Treated as successful dodge with zero damage.
Players must be at same altitude (both flying or both grounded) to initiate combat. Attack fails with 'You can't reach them from here!' if altitude differs.
When combat begins, any active power-up task on either the attacker
or defender should be cancelled to prevent background power changes
during combat. This ensures players can't continue charging while
fighting.
The fix checks both entities for a _power_task attribute and cancels
it if present, then clears the reference.
The {s} conjugation check had incorrect operator precedence that
evaluated the ch/sh suffix check independently of the prev_text
existence check. This could lead to confusing logic flow even
though it didn't crash due to len() handling empty strings safely.
Fixed by wrapping both suffix conditions in parentheses so they're
both guarded by the prev_text truthiness check.
Implements power level management system with tick-based power-up loop.
Players can raise PL toward max_pl (costs stamina per tick), lower PL
instantly, set exact PL targets, and cancel ongoing power-ups.
- Add Where: header with zone description
- Add Location: line with quadrant and coordinates
- Add Nearby: line showing entities in viewport (not on player's tile)
- Add Exits: line showing available cardinal directions
- Replace 'Here:' with individual entity lines showing posture
- Replace 'Portals:' with individual 'You see {name}.' lines
- Add look <thing> routing to examine command
- Add comprehensive tests for new structured output
- Update existing tests to match new output format
Player objects were removed from the players dict on quit/disconnect
but never removed from zone._contents, leaving ghost * markers on
other players' maps.

The server now skips spurious empty lines from client negotiation bytes
during the name prompt, only closing on actual connection loss. This
makes the login flow robust against clients that send IAC bytes with
trailing CRLF during negotiation.
Also fixed tintin++ CATCH handlers to use proper \} syntax matching the
documented examples.
