US-002: Transfer and reset the Tyrant role

As a player, I want defeating the Tyrant to transfer power predictably so that the central conflict always has meaningful consequences.

Acceptance criteria

  • A player directly credited with killing the Tyrant becomes the new Tyrant.
  • A Tyrant death without a player killer leaves the role vacant and opens the shared Tyrant arena challenge.
  • The former Tyrant may compete again under the same arena eligibility and reset rules as every other opted-in participant.
  • The former Tyrant's level, unlocks, unspent choices, and Tyrant ability cooldowns reset when the reign ends.
  • Every Assassin, Fixer, Tamer, Vigilante, and Follower assignment is cleared when the Tyrant dies.
  • After Tyrant succession, a vacant Vigilante role opens the shared arena's Vigilante challenge.
  • The new Tyrant receives exactly one starting unlock choice.
  • The Tyrant's displayed name is red and the Tyrant has a red glowing outline while the game is running.
  • Succession cannot assign the same player as both Tyrant and Vigilante.
