Adrian (2026-10-31): a Large Furnace where a Fire Pokémon heats real
furnaces (hoppers in and out), our own Electric generator, no upkeep;
then a drop synthesizer (FE into full drop rolls, looting tiers), a
sacrifice altar (level tiers, rare candies only from Lv 80) and a
rebirth chamber (Lv 100 -> shiny Lv 1 first stage, three perfect IVs,
moves kept, Ability Patch so the hidden ability is optional).
- machine/: data-driven 3x3x3 shells (window spots for glass, free
spot under the core), checked in four rotations; the Pokémon walks in
from the party and lives in the core; breaking core or shell sends it
home (party, else PC, offline too); a real Cobblemon entity copy is
shown in the chamber (no AI, invulnerable, uncatchable, never saved).
- Heat Core keeps vanilla furnaces lit and faster; Dynamo Core makes
and pushes FE; Synthesis Core takes FE and rolls drops into a hopper-
extractable buffer; Altar Core sacrifices on a confirmed sneak-use;
Rebirth Core runs on server time.
- Recipes, casing tags, block loot, textures (tools/machine_assets.py),
models, blockstates, names.
- Self-tests: in/out, refusal, shell and core breaks (PC when full),
chunk unload, server restart, and each machine's work.
- Docs: design, balance table, Phase 6 checklist; Phase 5 approved.

Adrian (2026-10-31): add Cobbreeding without a gate; only Ditto should
be rare, in an endgame area or gated behind something else.
- Cobbreeding 2.4.1 (Modrinth only) and Cloth Config (client) in the
pack; Cobblebase's hatchery takes Cobbreeding's eggs.
- Ditto moved from Button Isle to the Deep Dark with both of Cobblemon's
entries (rare in slime chunks, ultra-rare elsewhere): zone_spawns.py
pins take {"zone", "all_entries"}; Deep Dark target +1, Button Isle -1
so no other line moved; Southwold and Frostpeak guardians pinned (they
tie on base stats and flipped between runs).
- HMs' Trainer Ditto is made uncatchable; it still trades.
- check_deps.py skips other-side dependencies; Cobbreeding's harmless
client-mixin log line allowlisted.
- Self-tests cobbreeding_eggs_fit_the_hatchery, trainer_ditto_cant_be_caught;
docs, balance table, Phase 5 checklist.

From Adrian's Mining test (2026-10-31):
- A gated job assigned to a pastured Pokemon that doesn't pass its gate
is taken back at once (BaseManager assignment cleared, Cobblebase's
assignment sync sent, owner told what the Pokemon needs), so it no
longer sticks or shows under Buffs -> Active.
- Mining, Ore Finder and Evolution-item Finder only give the ores and
evolution stones of the pasture's zone: new loot condition
cobblesurvival:in_zone, the pack's versions of the 12 Cobblebase
tables (tools/cobblebase_loot.py), Cobblebase's built-in copies
removed at server start (ore/BaseLoot.kt). Mining adds quartz and the
evolution stones, drops the type gems.
- Mining's loot reaching the chest needs an Item Gatherer in the same
pasture (Cobblebase's design); documented, not changed.
- Self-tests gated_jobs_are_taken_back, base_jobs_dig_their_zones_ores;
docs, balance table, licenses, Phase 5 checklist.

Adrian (2026-10-31): HMs abilities stay open; the ones that get around
zone hazards get soft gates (materials or a high-level Pokemon, never
flags; gifted Pokemon and materials count the same); party passives from
shoulder Pokemon; Cobblebase skills and the Power Block move to soft
gates too.
- Gates: a zone gate passes at the top of the zone's band or while the
Pokemon holds the zone's material (or a harder zone's). Cobblebase
skills check the pastured Pokemon and tell the owner once what it needs.
- Progress record, guardian unlock messages, the Power Block placement
gate and /cobblesurvival progress removed; the Power Block's recipe
already needs Jungle redstone.
- HmsGate: switches off gated HMs auras (Flash, Dive, Mist, Rock Climb,
Magnet Rise, Lucky Chant, Lava Plume) whose Pokemon doesn't pass.
- ShoulderPassives: type-based effects from shoulder Pokemon, hazard
ones (warmth, frigidness, water breathing, night vision) gated.
- Self-tests for all of it; docs, balance table, Phase 5 checklist.

Adrian (2026-10-31): use Cobblemon HMs; mining ore is the one hard
requirement, furnaces get lit by a Pokemon inside a Phase 6 machine.
- Cobblemon HMs 4.1.0 in the pack (Modrinth), default config.
- Self-test rock_smash_mines_veins: HMs' Rock Smash breaks a
regenerating vein, the ore drops and the vein becomes a regenerator.
- HMs' Trainer Ditto (a wild Ditto underneath) is exempt from the
hostility scan and the stray despawn (world/SpecialPokemon.kt).
- Docs: licenses, addon status, design, balance, roadmap note,
Phase 5 checklist with the open questions for Adrian.
