T4 monster tuning so martial leaders land in the 60-75% band (underdark
59/80, feywild 65/84 at L10/L12, n=50); casters trail (class-side gap that
monster tuning provably can't compress -- Pass 1 showed casters pinned at 0%
while martials moved). T5 deferred (walls everyone at its L12 floor; needs an
L15-16 corpus).
- dnd_bestiary.go: underdark elite/boss HP+AC up + caster-lethal proc cuts
(mind_flayer/drow_mage/roper); feywild HP+AC up.
- bestiary_srd.go: feywild multiattack profiles (fomorian/night_hag/green_hag)
+ Thornmother 2->3 lashes -- HP/AC alone didn't move feywild's low-damage
roster; multiattack is what pulls facerolling martials into band.
- zone_graph_feywild_crossing.go: free fork1's marsh edge. fork1 was the only
fork in the game with every exit skill-locked (CHA+Perception, no LockNone)
and deterministic no-retry rolls -- a prod SOFT-LOCK stranding ~60% of
players (low CHA+WIS). Kept grove's CHA bargain as a bonus route.
- expedition_sim.go: firstUnlockedForkChoice -- sim fork policy picks the
first unlocked option instead of blind 'go 1' (which looped forever on
locked forks); halts fork_all_locked if none.
- tests: graph-wide TestZoneGraphs_NoSoftLockedFork + fork1 free-path guard.

Slice 1 shipped raw SRD damage, which is calibrated for a 4-PC party
and one-shots gogobee's single player at every tier. Rescale each
profile's per-attack damage so the round-total lands at ~1.3x the
creature's tuned auto-resolve Attack stat, keeping the SRD structure
(attack count, to-hit, damage split) intact.

Elites/bosses in turn-based fights now swing a full SRD multiattack
profile and fire their special ability — abilities never fired in the
turn-based path before, and every enemy made a single attack.
bestiary_srd.go adds SRDAttack/SRDProfile and a hand-authored registry
for the named bosses and multiattack elites; auto-resolve keeps its
tuned single-Attack blocks untouched. turnAbilityFires remaps the
auto-resolve phase clock onto fight progress for the phase-less duel.
