Build: every tool pinned (JDK, packwiz, Gradle plugins, Python packages), exports
normalised, tools/check_reproducible.py proves two clean builds are byte-identical.
Server-side balance: a server can load config/cobblesurvival/datapack.zip in place of
the jar's data, /reload applies it, tools/server_update.py packages it and refuses
when a client change is needed. JEI drop pages are sent by the server. Code-held
balance numbers moved to tuning/server.json.
Performance: spark in the pack (server only), tools/perf_test.py with fake players
whose chunks really are active, docs/performance.md.
Adrian's feedback: default keys R, U, J, §; drop pages link to Cobblemon Info and show
real chances; bosses only hurt in battles; battle XP halved; channels between the
islands low level; temperature ×3 with insulation doubled; hazards start at once; no
item dots on the map; a wild attack starts a battle; the starter only faints; quest
book on join with a basics page and an HMs page; regional forms obtainable.

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.

From Adrian's play-test (2026-10-30):
- The Deep Dark no longer fills the deepslate layer: world/biomes.json
splits it by temperature (Deep Dark under cold and temperate land,
basalt deltas under the hottest, ordinary caves between); at y -52 it
drops from 30 % to 14 % of the land, basalt 7 %.
- Cave zones fill up to their targets with lines whose primary type fits
the cave; top stages spawn up to the band's top (Deep Dark Lv 60, Basalt
70); no time-of-day conditions underground.
- Wild Pokemon more than 10 levels above the band of the zone they
wander into despawn (zone/Wanderers.kt).
- Loot is shared: all players in one scoreboard team, Lootr team_loot.
- Basalt ore nodes reach the deep basalt.
Self-tests strays_despawn and loot_is_shared; the catching rules from the
previous commit are now tested too. Template rebuilt (world check passed),
island quick check passed (36 self-tests and the restart test).
Shoulder Pokemon noted for Phase 5.

- Companion mod (zone/LevelPressure.kt): a Pokemon more than 5 levels
above the band of the zone its trainer is in gets 10% less experience
per extra level, down to 10%. Exp. Candy and commands are exempt; no
hard level caps (roadmap).
- Rules in world/zones.json -> level_pressure, shipped in the zone layout.
- Self-test level_pressure_cuts_xp.
