 - Node.js 20 or later and npm for the TypeScript release-tool tests.

-## Native health ceiling (activation still unwired)
+## Native health ceiling (historical core checkpoint)
 
 `CharacterProgress` now limits base maximum health to `min(10 + CON, supplied native limit)` without limiting CON purchases. A purchase adds only the actual maximum-health gain to current health: fractional gain when crossing the ceiling, zero gain once capped. Injury and revision/idempotency protections remain intact. The two-argument initializer uses the pinned runtime's default 1,024 HP; runtime adapters must pass their actual ceiling explicitly.
 
 `NativeHealthLimit.read()` reads the current native ranged attribute through the pinned runtime's public Craft/native accessors, without setting attributes or changing configuration. It must run on the server thread after registry initialization. Incompatible accessors or nonpositive/nonfinite/unrepresentable native ranges fail explicitly instead of guessing. This is not a refusal based on CON. Tests cover core purchases and actual native attribute compatibility at 10.5, 1,024 and 2,048 HP; native tests restore their temporary in-process range changes in `finally`.
 
-No virtual health, global configuration change, stored-data migration or active-player health adapter is introduced.

 A same-process retry can acknowledge gear already verified restored for that exact player while retrying a vetoed mode restoration; a serialized `RESTORED` marker alone cannot establish this after restart. Missing game-mode proof leaves the mode and receipt retained even when independently verified gear can be restored and synchronized. Player-data and YAML saves are not one transaction; unobserved out-of-band state edits are not detectable history. No forced player save, blanket Survival reset or deployment is introduced.
 
+## Native fantasy health, exit and defeat
+
+Offhand entry applies actual native maximum health `min(10 + CON, native health limit)`, resumes saved remaining character health, and supplies the recurring blue active-character aura to native viewers who opt in with `/fantasyparticles players on`. The account-owned aura preference defaults to off; `/fantasyparticles players` reports it and `/fantasyparticles players off` hides only this recurring aura. The independent, default-on `/fantasyparticles all [on|off]` preference durably controls every explicit Fantasy Stick particle for that account without changing nearby players' delivery, sounds or gameplay. Turning `all` off temporarily takes precedence without overwriting the saved `players` choice. A fresh character's saved health starts full. CON has no gameplay cap; high values do not reject entry. Native damage/healing rules remain in effect, with the existing party/mixed-mode protection. The book reports current native health rather than waiting for an exit save.
+
+`NativeMaximumHealth` owns only the effective-value cache/dirty callback of that player's existing native maximum-health instance. Base values, modifiers and native potion expiry remain owned by their original sources; nothing is copied back from an old modifier snapshot. The native player health methods and client attribute snapshot are tested. This adapter uses **pinned Purpur 2618 internals**, including private fields; a detached startup probe exercises installation, recalculation and removal before gameplay is registered. Runtime upgrades require renewed native compatibility verification, not a guessed fallback or global attribute-limit changes. Matching native health scaling displays the real fantasy maximum, not a separate virtual health pool; a later unrelated display-scale change is preserved on exit.
+
+Ordinary health, food, saturation, exhaustion and health-display state belong to the holder/session, not the character sheet. The session receipt acknowledges this snapshot before native mutation; versioned player PDC records its application/restoration phase. Voluntary exit restores ordinary gear/vitals at the current location, with ordinary health capped by the current legitimate maximum. Character damage is saved on the worker, and the character claim/receipt cannot complete ahead of that acknowledgment. Quit and disable perform the same best-effort cleanup. Failed or uncertain saves retain the receipt and acknowledged character record instead of permitting a stale-health reentry. Missing/ambiguous native proof never authorizes a snapshot heal; process-owned maximum overrides are still retired independently of equipment/client-write failures.
+
+An intercepted fantasy defeat records authoritative death once, removes session state, restores ordinary health to its current maximum and attempts return to the entry location. Ordinary health is restored before health-scale setters can send or queue client health packets: cancelled defeat must not deliver zero health and strand an otherwise alive player on a death screen. Refused/failed return leaves the player at the current location with a warning, not an alternate destination or invulnerability. A public red burst marks the defeat location. After the death acknowledgment, guarded conversion replaces the unchanged sheet stack with one signed Tail book. New Tails group ordinary-sized name/level/XP/points/stats on a summary page, then give each learned ability its own section with saved ID, assigned ability slots and cooldown deadline. Unknown IDs, saved unlearned cooldowns, empty abilities and death time stay explicit; long content continues onto additional pages without truncation. No ability descriptions are invented and existing books are not rewritten. Static Unicode-safe Tail pagination survives native serialization without a plugin; signed books use a different codec from the 100-page writable-book format. Stale or ambiguous conversion never overwrites another item or automatically reissues a book.
+
+Interrupted recovery requires matching player/session receipt and native proof. It preserves current native modifier ownership and does not resurrect expired effects. Repeated/stale recovery cannot replay ordinary health or recreate an already released claim. This is **not crash-atomic** across player, inventory and plugin files; unresolved native setter phases and unacknowledged progress may require inspection. Legacy equipment-only receipts remain readable but do not grant health-restoration authority. Older binaries do not understand the new optional ordinary-vitals receipt field; do not downgrade across unresolved newer receipts.
+
+Active hunger/exhaustion suppression and food-regeneration discrimination remain US-026 work. Book stat purchases, XP delivery, basic/learned attacks and Revive remain separate unfinished stories. The preceding equipment/progression checkpoint sections are historical evidence, not the current health scope.
+
 ## Character inspection and inventory safety
 
-The first-hotbar-slot book reads the active character's authoritative name, six stats, health, level, XP/MAX, points and learned identities. Inspection does not change character data or inventory. Plain-text pages wrap conservatively for the vanilla font without splitting Unicode code points. Large supported records use volumes of at most 80 inspection pages, leaving room for navigation and party controls within the native book limit. `[Next pages]` / `[Previous pages]` reread current data; unknown ability IDs and arbitrarily large saved numbers are not silently discarded.

 Deferred reads and single-use navigation validate the player, session, character and held control. Superseded requests, ended sessions, quit/disable and invalid client tokens cannot open a stale view. Read failures preserve data and allow reopening. Native tests cover overflow, multiple volumes, rename, transfer, reload and unchanged inventory/data; actual client rendering and custom resource-pack fonts are not claimed as tested.
