Closes the 'fairly breezy with some death' target the user picked
for Phase 5. Five-piece ship; Phase 1 matrix lands T1 88%, T2 74%,
T4 72%, T5 ~57% in or above band. T3 remains the design hump at
~45% (manor 39, underforge 47) — Wraith promotion to elite was
already done in Phase 4-B, the remaining standard-pool deaths are
the irreducible part of T3.
Pieces:
1. computeMaxHP × 1.5 (phase5BHPMult in dnd.go). Uniform across
class/level so the class-balance harness's in-tier parity
assertion stays green. Bootstrap (bootstrap_phase5b_hp.go)
refreshes hp_max for existing characters at startup;
idempotent via db.JobCompleted. hp_current is bumped by the
same delta so a full-HP character stays at full.
2. applyPhase5BPlayerFloor (dnd_combat.go): +3 AC, +3 AttackBonus,
+3 weapon.MagicBonus (damage). Applied at the END of
applyDnDEquipmentLayer (after computeArmorAC's AC override)
and inside buildHarnessPlayer so live and harness measurement
match.
3. Elite bracket 19 → 23 (resolveCombatInterrupt). Case order
puts Elite (≥23) before Patrol (≥22) so a 23+ total prefers
the single dangerous fight. Elite is now effectively a
high-threat event reachable only via the +1-per-20-threat-
above-40 mod — Phase 4-B's elite-pool monsters still appear,
just less often.
4. dailyThreatDrift base 3 → 1. Slows the threat clock so
players have the days they need before threat tips zones
into the new 23+ elite band.
5. applyDailyBurn default → 50% (phase5BDailyBurnRatePct). Also
applied in the temporal-override branch in
dnd_expedition_cycle.go so tidal / unraveling days scale by
the same 0.5× — otherwise those days would be
disproportionately harsh against the new baseline.
The harness's expedition_balance.go reads phase5BDailyBurnRatePct
as the default-burn fallback when the override knob is zero, so
Phase 1 matrix measurements now reflect what live players
experience.
Test debt: 13 pinned-numbers unit tests across combat_stats_test,
dnd_test, dnd_xp_test, dnd_equipment_profiles_test,
dnd_expedition_supplies_test, dnd_expedition_cycle_test,
dnd_expedition_extract_test, dnd_expedition_region_cmd_test,
dnd_expedition_combat_test, dnd_expedition_threat_test,
dnd_expedition_temporal_test, expedition_balance_test were
pinning pre-Phase-5-B baselines; updated with comments noting
the cause. Class-balance suite stayed green (uniform buff
preserves spread).

Two bugs reported back-to-back from a Rogue's run:
1. HP display reset between battles. End of fight 1: 101/123 → start of
fight 2: 100/100. applyDnDHPScaling was overwriting Stats.MaxHP with
the scaled wound value, so the display denominator dropped along with
the numerator. Wounded carry-over became invisible.
Fix: introduce CombatStats.StartHP. Combat engine reads it as the
entry-HP when set; MaxHP stays put. Display now reads "100/123" as
intended.
2. Auto-crit fired on a roll of 11 with no narrative tell. Rogue passive
AutoCritFirst was triggering correctly, but the renderer used the
generic crit pool, so the player saw "🎲 11 vs AC 10 → CRIT" with no
indication their *class* caused it.
Fix: tag the crit event with Desc="auto_crit" when the passive (not
the dice) caused it; new narrativePlayerAutoCrit pool calls out the
training/instinct/exploit theme.
Test bound for T5 dungeon death rate loosened from 0.02 to 0.01 — the
new Sudden Death phase from the previous commit shifted geared-T5
fights slightly toward player wins.

Replaces the single-roll probability system for dungeon and arena combat with
a multi-phase simulation engine where gear, buffs, pets, and NPCs are meaningful
mechanical inputs. Adds consumable items (auto-crafted from forage/mine/fish drops),
monster abilities for T2+ enemies, and Dragon Quest-style combat narrative with
phased message delivery.
