Log Message:
Various mostly minor fixes (leaks/crashes)

Memory leaks, FILE leaks, uncheckd FILE *, unchecked allocations,
range checking, free()ing stack pointers, etc.

Make file/compressed sizes unsigned and use UINT32_MAX for LFN size.
Avoids casting negative values to size_t.

Deal with sizeof(long) == 4 on Win32

Allow seeking using SEEK_CUR with a uint32_t when LONG_MAX < UINT32_MAX

Log Message:
Add player reference manual; document dead features in todo/CLAUDE

New file release/player.txt: exhaustive player-facing reference covering
all 18 chapters (menus, combat, empires, trading, scoring, etc.). Every
claim verified against source -- no formulas or secrets exposed.

Audit found and corrected six inaccuracies before they shipped: Charisma
has no effect, trading is player-to-player not NPC, blessing is
clan-wide, protection only covers empire attacks, HP/SP training ranges
were wrong, and herbalist building does not exist.

docs/todo.txt: add [1.7] village types dead code, [1.8] Charisma ACS
condition proposal for events and NPC chat; fix TOC column alignment.

CLAUDE.md: add player doc audience row, document dead/unfinished
features (Charisma, village types, protection), fix TOC entry format
spec with precise column rules.

Modified Files:
src/doors/clans-src/release/prompt.md
Log Message:
Add usage directive to quest generator prompt to prevent LLM context exhaustion

Models with thinking/reasoning modes (e.g. Qwen3.5) were spending their
entire context window internalizing the reference material before asking the first interview question. The new directive at the top tells the model to start with the interview and treat everything else as reference for later.

Log Message:
Strengthen quest generator prompt: prose quality, happy-path layout, anti-pattern catalogue

Add prose quality directive with WRONG/RIGHT examples to prevent staccato short-sentence narrative. Add worked multi-fight quest example (BridgeAssault) demonstrating NextLine on win path for linear readability. Add rule preferring NextLine for Fight win paths in mechanics section. Add COMMON GENERATION FAILURES section cataloguing observed LLM failure modes (template repetition, mechanical lore keeper, staccato prose, single-fight quests, double End, missing elements). Add PRE-GENERATION CHECKLIST. Add quality-over-speed directive and ambient NPC generation sequence.

Modified Files:
src/doors/clans-src/release/prompt.md
Log Message:
Strengthen quest generator prompt from first real-world LLM generation feedback

Feedback from an LLM generating the "Under the Stone Sky" quest pack using
the older prompt version. Changes address observed failures, knowledge gaps, and ambiguities that caused backtracking or incorrect assumptions.

Observed failures:
- Add Silent IntroTopic to COMMON GENERATION FAILURES (WRONG/RIGHT examples)
- Require unconditional Text in every IntroTopic (field description + catchup
example updated)
- Add file-handling discipline section: initialize before appending, checkpoint
after each location cluster, verify on failure
- Add >> delimiter bold warning at first mention in syntax rules
- Add post-write verification for flag table >> delimiters in output order

Engine behaviour documentation:
- Add command visibility section (always/conditionally/always silent)
- Add automatic pause insertion points (after IntroTopic, Topic, EndChat, quest)
- Add pause deduplication behaviour (consecutive pauses collapsed by flag)
- Add color code error handling (ecomp does not validate; garbled output, not crash)
- Document EndChat in IntroTopic still consumes a chat slot
- Document execution model: unreached Result blocks have no side effects
- Document quests.hlp constraints (no line limit, 254 chars/line, 22-line pages)
- Document HereNews supports pipe codes, timing tied to OddsOfSeeing roll
- Document GiveItem allows duplicates (separate inventory slots)
- Document Prompt is pure text output (no input waiting)
- Document Chat with missing NPC prints error, no crash
- Document Option limit: 16 per menu
- Clarify XP formula in plain language (damage/difficulty, not C variables)

Specification gaps:
- Add NpcFile to alias cross-reference check (was missing from 4-source list)
- Document NPC info file split mirrors chat file split
- Add lore keeper + daily quest hub combination guidance
- Tie ambient NPC generation sequence to file-handling (minimum 3 tool calls)

Source code reference cleanup:
- Replace all C identifiers with plain-language equivalents throughout
(bytecode, rputs, door_pause, JustPaused, MyOpen, RunEvent, Status=Here,
QuestsDone/bitmask/bitwise, FIGHTSPERDAY, ChatsToday, NPC_ChatNPC,
Topics[].Known, PClan.*, Damage/3+1 formula, \n\r, today.asc)

Clarity improvements:
- Rewrite generation rhythm as numbered procedural sequence (removes
ambiguous "do not pause" / "continue immediately" idioms)
- Trim redundant chat-only context restatement in TellTopic description
- Remove Useless Old Man reference (not described in prompt)

src/doors/clans-src/release/player.txt prompt.md src/doors/clans-src/src/voting.c
Log Message:
Fix ChooseNewLeader() off-by-one and add Charisma tiebreaking

NumTied was iTemp-1 (off by one): a 2-way tie always picked the
first sorted candidate (no randomness), and an N-way tie could
never select the last candidate.

Tied elections now compare effective Charisma member-slot by
member-slot (leader first) via GetClan()/GetStat(), falling back
to my_random() only when all tied clans have identical Charisma
at every slot.

Document the new behaviour in player.txt (sections 6.1 and 12.6)
and add a gameplay note to the Charisma design guidance in
prompt.md.

Document ruler claim mechanics in player reference manual

there is no ruler, clarify that military ousting bypasses voting, and
document the abdication cooldown restriction.
