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.

- Companion mod (zone/Guardians.kt): each zone's guardian stands at the
zone's sample point, appears when a player is within 96 blocks, stays
within 24 blocks, is uncatchable and half again as big. Beating it in a
battle gives every player in the battle its drops; it returns after 5
hours of game time (Adrian: fixed spots, 5 hours). State lives in the
world save; /cobblesurvival guardians lists it.
- tools/zone_spawns.py writes data/cobblesurvival/guardians/<zone>.json:
the strongest walking (or swimming) Pokemon of the zone at band top + 5,
with the drops from world/zones.json. Boss drops follow Adrian's rule:
Icy Rocks before Sunscorch, Heat Rocks before Frostpeak.
- Goat Fur and Hoglin Hide recipes make 8 per rock, so one guardian's 3
rocks pay for one full insulating set.
- Self-test guardian_appears_and_returns; hazard tests cleaned up; the
zone generator reads Cobblemon's own entries from the field guide's
hidden_spawns.
