Three flavor arcs on existing per-player counters (no schema, golden
byte-identical):
- Misty: 3 deepening dialogue beats at MistyEncounterCount 5/15/30,
prepended to the encounter opening the one time the counter lands on a
threshold. Fiction only — no copy ties a donation to the hidden arena
effects.
- Robbie: every 10th visit he leaves a consumable "for the trouble,"
drawn from the dungeon pool at a level-matched tier.
- Thom: paying off the Tier-4 mortgage (no next tier) sends a final
letter instead of the stock payoff line, plus an inert pet-treat
keepsake if the player keeps a pet.

Concurrency:
- npcTrackMessage now acquires advUserLock to prevent lost updates
on message count and double encounter triggers from rapid messages
- Lock released before spawning encounter goroutine (avoids deadlock)
- Only one NPC encounter fires per message
Security:
- Debit() return value checked for both Misty and Arina payments
- Buff only applied on successful debit; failed debit falls through
to decline/debuff path
- NPC encounter won't overwrite existing pending interactions (shop,
treasure discard, etc.)
Arena sniper rework:
- Sniper checked independently before combat roll, not after
- If sniper fires, combat roll is skipped entirely (not a death save)
- Sniper kill renders as standalone narrative with no combat log
- Sniper flavor text rewritten: reads as random arena chaos with no
hint of Arina's involvement

Misty & Arina: random encounter NPCs triggered by chat message counting
(5-10 msg threshold, 7-day cooldown, 7.5% roll). Misty asks for €100 —
accept gives 7-day arena buff (20% gourmet food heals gear + 5 enemy dmg),
decline gives 7-day debuff (20% crowd revenge damage). Arina asks for €5000 —
accept gives 7-day sniper buff (8% instant kill in arena). Effects integrate
into arena round resolution after combat roll; sniper overrides death.
Other fixes:
- Tier gating now uses base skill only — buffs improve success, not access
- Babysitter uses all harvest actions (3/day, 4 on holidays) instead of 1
- Robbie collects all non-equipped items, not just slotted gear
- Robbie timing: fire on first tick >= target hour, not exact minute match
- Streak: dead players who acted still get streak credit
- Streak: dead players skip shame DM (use LastDeathDate, not Alive flag)
- Midnight ticker: in-memory date cache prevents 1439 wasted DB checks/day
- T1 loot values ~3x across all activities to close T1/T2 gap
