// Phase 3 — class passives applied via CombatModifiers.
//
// Phase 3 keeps abilities passive-only: they auto-trigger via the existing
// CombatModifiers machinery rather than being player-activated mid-fight
// (the combat engine is one-shot, no turn-based UI). Active/reactive
// abilities arrive once we have a model for them — likely tied to !arena
// pre-arming or to a turn-based PvP variant.
//
// Comment convention: `// internal note (not user-facing)` marks block
// comments that document tuning history (Phase 2/3 balance notes, scaling
// rationale, etc.). Anything inside such a block is engineering context,
// NOT a candidate for codegen to lift into a Description string.

// ── Class passive definitions ────────────────────────────────────────────────

// DnDClassAbility is the lore/UI representation of a class's signature
// passive. Used by !abilities and !sheet for display; mechanics live in
// applyClassPassives below.

// Some passives ride on existing CombatModifiers fields:
//   Rogue's Sneak Attack reuses AutoCritFirst (the consumable Crystal Berry
//   field) — the engine already implements first-hit-auto-crit semantics.
//   Cleric's Divine Favor reuses HealItem, the under-50%-HP heal trigger.
//
// This means:
//   - A Rogue carrying a Crystal Berry doesn't get *two* auto-crits;
//     AutoCritFirst is already a one-shot bool.
//   - A Cleric carrying a healing potion stacks: passive 5 + potion 8 = 13.
//     The passive heal triggers first since both use the same threshold.
