# US-004: Inspect and manage player stealth

As a **server administrator**, I want to inspect and correct player stealth state so that I can support players whether they are online or offline.

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] `/stealthadmin status <player|uuid>` reports accumulated time, unlock status, prepared-login state, and current concealment state.
- [ ] Status inspection works for online players and known offline players selected by exact current or previously recorded name or UUID.
- [ ] `/stealthadmin grant <player|uuid>` grants the unlock to an online or known offline player without altering accumulated time unnecessarily.
- [ ] Granting an already-owned unlock is safe and clearly reports that no change was needed.
- [ ] Granting the unlock sends the normal full-screen title and chat notification when the target is online.
- [ ] `/stealthadmin reset <player|uuid> confirm` clears accumulated time, unlock ownership, prepared-login state, and current concealment for an online or known offline player.
- [ ] Reset requires explicit confirmation and safely restores an online concealed player to ordinary identity presentation.
- [ ] `/stealthadmin list` lists every currently online concealed player and clearly reports when there are none.
- [ ] Concealed players remain absent from administrators' ordinary tab lists and retain hidden overhead name tags; the admin command is the supported discovery mechanism.
- [ ] Commands clearly reject unknown, ambiguous, malformed, or otherwise invalid targets without creating unintended player records.
- [ ] Administrative inspection and modification require an operator-default administrative permission.
- [ ] State-changing operations persist before success is reported and are safe under retries.
- [ ] Grant and reset actions record the administrator, target UUID, and action in the server log without blocking the server tick thread.
