Adrian, 2026-11-03: guardians get a boss health bar like the Wither's, which
also leads players to them. Every player within 128 blocks of a living
guardian sees a red bar of their own (GuardianBars): name, zone, how many
blocks away, and HP. The End boss keeps the dragon's bar.
guardian_appears_and_returns checks the bar appears and goes once beaten.
Self-tests and the island check pass.
Phase 7 approved ("Then begin with the next phase"); README status updated.

Bosses (Adrian, 2026-11-02: Eternatus too small and too easy; guardians way
bigger and tougher; only defensive stats up; no attack takes more than 25 %):
- Guardians scale to about 8 blocks tall (1.5x-12x), Eternatus to 15 blocks
(2.5x, was 0.2x). Cave guardians look for a spot with room above them.
Bosses already in a world grow on the next check outside battle.
- Perfect IVs and 170 EVs each in HP, Defense and Sp. Def, nothing offensive.
- The Guardian's Ward, a Showdown-only held item (held_items/guardiansward.js)
handed to every boss by a HeldItemProvider: Defense and Sp. Def x2 while
defending, and one attack (all hits together) takes at most 25 % of max HP.
- Area attacks that start at the boss reach half its width further.
Machines (Adrian, 2026-11-02): a working core is active: it glows, its front
animates (flickering fire on the furnace core, pulsing emblems elsewhere), and
particles show in the chamber and at the core (client side). The Pokemon
inside flinches about every 15 s (red flash, Cobblemon's hit sound, no damage).
Roadmap Phase 8: every item that can drop gets a JEI page naming its sources.
Self-tests: practice_bosses_spawn checks size and training,
boss_takes_a_quarter_per_attack runs a real battle (each Lv 100 Bullet Seed
takes exactly a quarter), heat_core_cooks_with_hoppers checks the active state
and the flinch. Self-tests and the island check pass.

Adrian, 2026-11-02: the End looked barren. The End is now a zone of its own
(Lv 50-70, world/zones.json -> dimensions; Zones.at returns it anywhere in the
End). tools/zone_spawns.py copies every line Cobblemon spawns in End biomes
into spawn_pool_world/the_end.json, on top of its island home: Beheeyem,
Reuniclus, Metagross; Gothitelle and Sigilyph in End cities; Malamar and
Unown with a Poke Snack. Cobblemon rolls the bucket before the Pokemon and
has these all uncommon or rare, so they move to the common bucket with even
line weights (Metagross a fifth).
Self-test end_has_spawns: the main island is in the_end and offers only End
spawns, some in the common bucket. Self-tests and the island check pass.

Adrian (2026-11-02): a second Eternatus appeared on his second visit
to the End; the attacks should be more visible.
- EndBoss waits until the entities around its spot are loaded before
deciding it's missing, refuses a second copy while the recorded one
is alive (join check, like the guardians), and removes extra copies
near the spot (cleans up worlds that already have two).
- Telegraphs: 2.2-size dust redrawn every 2 ticks, the inside filled
(Area.fill), rising sparks on the outline, a low bell on cast.
- Tests: no second End boss (after the End's middle is loaded), fill
points inside their areas.

Adrian (2026-11-02): every zone guardian gets area attacks (harder in
harder zones); a boss for the Basalt Furnace; a Pokémon replaces the
Ender Dragon; dying or leaving the arena loses; the Deep Dark gets a
legendary and every guardian should fit its zone. Groudon, Giratina and
Meloetta have no model in Cobblemon 1.8.4: Moltres, Eternatus and
Regigigas stand in.
- Guardians: Mudsdale, Flygon, Abomasnow, Regigigas (normal size), new
Moltres for the Basalt Furnace; zone_spawns.py takes a guardian
"scale".
- tools/zone_bosses.py writes bosses/<zone>.json and end.json from a
tier table (circle, line, cone, rings; telegraph, damage, triggers,
fire/ice/poison effects, arena).
- boss/: BossFights runs patterns during a guardian or End boss battle
(particle telegraphs, hits players inside, stops on battle end),
enforces the arena and death as a loss (battle ends, boss heals);
EndBoss keeps the dragon out (allowlist emptied), spawns Eternatus on
the main island with the dragon's boss bar, and on defeat opens the
exit portal, gateway and egg via the vanilla dragon fight, plus XP.
- Self-tests: coverage (incl. Cobblemon models), shapes, landing and
stopping, arena loss, End boss. Docs, balance, Phase 7 checklist.
