US-008: Support the Vigilante and Followers

As the Vigilante, I want nearby living Followers to strengthen me against the Tyrant so that coordinated resistance is rewarded.

Acceptance criteria

  • Exactly one active Vigilante exists while the game is running whenever an eligible player is available.
  • The Vigilante can invite eligible opted-in players to become Followers, and recruitment requires acceptance.
  • The Vigilante can dismiss Followers and Followers can leave voluntarily.
  • While actively fighting the Tyrant, the Vigilante gains one potion level each of Strength and Resistance per living Follower in the same world within 50 blocks.
  • Offline, dead, opted-out, dismissed, or out-of-range Followers do not count.
  • A Vigilante or Follower may simultaneously hold one Tyrant-side class without losing Vigilante-side membership.
  • Effect levels update promptly as combat starts or ends and as Followers move, die, respawn, disconnect, or change assignment.
  • Scaling is capped by validated configuration, defaulting to Strength V and Resistance IV.
  • Every Vigilante death ends the assignment and triggers random replacement regardless of cause.
  • The deceased Vigilante is excluded when another eligible non-Tyrant candidate exists and is reused only when no such candidate exists.
  • Followers are cleared rather than transferred when their Vigilante dies or loses the position.
  • The Tyrant is never eligible to be selected as Vigilante.
