feat(bigshot.lic): v5.16.0 migrate room-creature targeting to Creature module

GameObj.targets is built from XMLData.current_target_ids, the client's
target dropdown, which can go stale after a kill or a room change. This
swaps the targeting pipeline (sort_npcs, priority, valid_target?,
should_flee?, cmd_eachtarget, and the ~40 "is this npc still alive"
liveness checks scattered through the cmd_* methods) onto
Lich::Gemstone::Creature, which reads the room roster directly instead.

Targets do NOT come from Creature.targets, which is the obvious choice
and the one most likely to look wrong on review. Creature.targets
selects on CreatureInstance#valid_target?, which is false once #dead? is
true - and #dead? means max_hp - damage_taken <= 0, not the game's own
dead flag. damage_taken accumulates from every damage
number Combat::Tracker parses out of the feed and is never reset
(Creature#reset_damage exists but nothing in lich-5 calls it), and
max_hp falls back to a guess for 131 of the 611 bundled creature
templates. Trusting #dead? would let a live creature silently vanish
from the target list once its estimated damage crosses a guessed
ceiling - and group hunting makes that the common case, since every
member's damage on a shared target is parsed from every member's own
feed. bs_hostile_creatures instead takes the room roster and applies
only the two facts the game itself asserts over : hostile,
and not dead. It reimplements valid_target?'s other two exclusions
(animated decoys, appendage nouns) directly rather than inheriting them,
mirroring lib/gemstone/creature.rb.

bs_hostile_creatures also bridges in GameObj.targets entries that
Creature has no instance for at all. bandit_track manufactures its
quarry with GameObj.new_npc after scraping a manual look, because
bandits never appear in the normal room feed - so Creature.register is
never called for them, and they could not carry crtr_flag?(:hostile)
regardless, since that flag only ever comes from a live
tag. Without the bridge, bandit hunting finds its target and then never
attacks it. The bridge is scoped to ids Creature has never seen, so
ordinary creatures still come from the fresh roster.

BigshotCreature wraps a CreatureInstance so the cmd_* methods keep
their GameObj-shaped .id/.status/.type. .status and .type deliberately
stay GameObj-backed: GameObj#type (undead, noncorporeal, aggressive
npc, companion, familiar, boon, escort) comes from a static noun/name
lookup table with no equivalent at all.

Room-presence checks (loot()'s dead_npcs, should_flee?'s
ALWAYS_FLEE_FROM, the bounty child-rescue check) deliberately stay on
GameObj.npcs rather than Creature.in_room. Creature only registers a
room object when a live tag arrives for it or its id is in
the target dropdown, and that registration clears on every room-objs
refresh, not just room changes - so a corpse that stops getting status
updates post-mortem, or a named-but-not-yet-hostile NPC, can be present
and lootable while invisible to Creature.in_room.

Combat::Tracker is enabled once at startup (persists per character,
enable! is a no-op when already on) so HP/wound/UCS data populates
going forward - consumed starting in the next PR.

Testing: spec/bigshot/priority_spec.rb updated for the new object
shape; spec/bigshot/creature_adapter_spec.rb added, covering the
adapter boundary, dead_or_gone?/gone? (including the corpse-vs-dead
distinction that made gone? necessary as a narrower sibling), the
GameObj-npcs regression guards, and the bandit bridge.

If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Bigshot 5.16.0 migrates targeting from GameObj.targets to Creature and Combat modules. It adds GameObj compatibility wrappers and fallback handling, updates combat lifecycle checks, and revises priority and adapter specifications.

Changes

Creature targeting migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Creature adapter and targeting source
scripts/bigshot.lic
Adds BigshotCreature, Creature-based roster helpers, liveness predicates, targetability checks, GameObj bridging, and Combat tracker initialization.
Target selection and roster integration
scripts/bigshot.lic, spec/bigshot/priority_spec.rb
Migrates target discovery, fleeing, sorting, priority selection, counting, bounty checks, tracking, and targetability learning to Creature rosters.
Combat command and lifecycle guards
scripts/bigshot.lic
Updates attacks, maneuvers, tether handling, mstrike checks, looting, and follower synchronization to use Creature state.
Adapter and selection validation
spec/bigshot/creature_adapter_spec.rb, spec/bigshot/priority_spec.rb
Adds Creature and GameObj doubles and verifies state detection, fallback bridging, duplicate prevention, presence checks, and priority behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3c02d

The targeting migration can abandon live creatures, miss boon flee conditions, and stop follower attacks through a runtime error. These concrete correctness and availability risks should be fixed before merging.

Extract the animated and appendage regexes into constants.

The same two patterns appear here, in gameobj_npc_check (Line 5930), in should_flee? (Line 7277), and in valid_target? (Line 7302). The comment above requires them to stay byte-identical to lib/gemstone/creature.rb. Four copies make that instruction hard to honor. Define frozen constants next to PRONE and reference them at each site.

24-31: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add extraction and coverage for still_targetable? and the GameObj-absent adapter fallbacks.

Two behaviors that this PR relies on are not covered here.

  • still_targetable? gates roughly twenty cmd_* call sites in scripts/bigshot.lic. It is not extracted and not asserted.
  • BigshotCreature#status and #type have GameObj-absent fallbacks (scripts/bigshot.lic Lines 503-523). No example constructs a wrapped creature with no matching GameObj registry entry, so those branches are untested. That branch is where the valid_target? defect flagged on scripts/bigshot.lic Line 503 lives; a test with flags[:dead] == false and valid_target? == false and an empty GameObj.registry would have caught it.
♻️ Proposed additions
STILL_TARGETABLE_SRC = extract(/^  def still_targetable\?\(id\).*?^  end$/m, 'still_targetable?')
# ...then inside Harness:
# eval(STILL_TARGETABLE_SRC)

Remove the unused described_class_prone_regex helper and align the header comment.

The helper reads Harness::PRONE, but the Harness class never defines PRONE. No example calls the helper, so the NameError stays hidden. The header comment (Lines 6-9) also lists npc_has_status?, npc_crtr_flag?, npc_low_hp?, npc_fatal_crit?, npc_smote?, npc_ucs_position, and npc_ucs_tierup as covered, and FakeCreatureInstance stubs them, but no describe block exercises them. Later comments say those readers arrive in a follow-up PR.

Delete the helper and restrict the header list to the methods this file actually asserts.

@mrhoribu You should not review only the last PR.

The stack is visible through the GitHub base branches:

  • #2414#2415
  • #2415#2416
  • #2416#2417

I did not correctly incorporate that stack context when I reviewed #2414. In particular, #2415 explicitly builds on the Creature migration in #2414. I should have checked the dependent PRs before reporting findings that later stack changes already address.

A finding can be technically true for #2414 in isolation. However, when a declared stack resolves it in a later PR, I should not present it as work that must be added back to #2414. I should instead identify the later PR that handles it, or omit the redundant finding.

Keep the PRs split and review each PR in the stack. That preserves focused diffs and makes review easier.

@mrhoribu I checked all four CodeRabbit findings from #2414 against the cumulative stack through #2417.

Finding on #2414 Stack result Evidence
Add the v5.16.0 changelog entry Resolved in #2415 #2415 adds the v5.16.0 entry. It documents the Creature/Combat migration and Combat::Tracker activation.
Use bs_targets in should_flee_from_boons? Resolved in #2415 #2415 changes the iteration from GameObj.targets to bs_targets.
Do not use creature.valid_target? to synthesize "gone" in BigshotCreature#status Not resolved At the #2417 head, BigshotCreature#status still contains creature.valid_target? ? nil : "gone".
Call bs.dead_or_gone?(leader_tgt) in the follower loop Not resolved Bigshot#dead_or_gone? is an instance method. The Bigshot class closes at Line 9688. The follower flow runs at top level and still calls unqualified dead_or_gone?(leader_tgt) at Line 9994.

The two resolved findings should not remain as required work on #2414. The two remaining findings are not addressed by the later PRs in this stack.

You are interacting with an AI system.

…e module

GameObj.targets is built from XMLData.current_target_ids, the client's
target dropdown, which can go stale after a kill or a room change. This
swaps the targeting pipeline (sort_npcs, priority, valid_target?,
should_flee?, cmd_eachtarget, and the ~40 "is this npc still alive"
liveness checks scattered through the cmd_* methods) onto
Lich::Gemstone::Creature, which reads the room roster directly instead.

Targets do NOT come from Creature.targets, which is the obvious choice
and the one most likely to look wrong on review. Creature.targets
selects on CreatureInstance#valid_target?, which is false once #dead? is
true - and #dead? means max_hp - damage_taken <= 0, not the game's own
<crtrStatus> dead flag. damage_taken accumulates from every damage
number Combat::Tracker parses out of the feed and is never reset
(Creature#reset_damage exists but nothing in lich-5 calls it), and
max_hp falls back to a guess for 131 of the 611 bundled creature
templates. Trusting #dead? would let a live creature silently vanish
from the target list once its estimated damage crosses a guessed
ceiling - and group hunting makes that the common case, since every
member's damage on a shared target is parsed from every member's own
feed. bs_hostile_creatures instead takes the room roster and applies
only the two facts the game itself asserts over <crtrStatus>: hostile,
and not dead. It reimplements valid_target?'s other two exclusions
(animated decoys, appendage nouns) directly rather than inheriting them,
mirroring lib/gemstone/creature.rb.

bs_hostile_creatures also bridges in GameObj.targets entries that
Creature has no instance for at all. bandit_track manufactures its
quarry with GameObj.new_npc after scraping a manual look, because
bandits never appear in the normal room feed - so Creature.register is
never called for them, and they could not carry crtr_flag?(:hostile)
regardless, since that flag only ever comes from a live <crtrStatus>
tag. Without the bridge, bandit hunting finds its target and then never
attacks it. The bridge is scoped to ids Creature has never seen, so
ordinary creatures still come from the fresh roster.

BigshotCreature wraps a CreatureInstance so the cmd_* methods keep
their GameObj-shaped .id/.status/.type. .status and .type deliberately
stay GameObj-backed: GameObj#type (undead, noncorporeal, aggressive
npc, companion, familiar, boon, escort) comes from a static noun/name
lookup table with no <crtrStatus> equivalent at all.

Room-presence checks (loot()'s dead_npcs, should_flee?'s
ALWAYS_FLEE_FROM, the bounty child-rescue check) deliberately stay on
GameObj.npcs rather than Creature.in_room. Creature only registers a
room object when a live <crtrStatus> tag arrives for it or its id is in
the target dropdown, and that registration clears on every room-objs
refresh, not just room changes - so a corpse that stops getting status
updates post-mortem, or a named-but-not-yet-hostile NPC, can be present
and lootable while invisible to Creature.in_room.

Combat::Tracker is enabled once at startup (persists per character,
enable! is a no-op when already on) so HP/wound/UCS data populates
going forward - consumed starting in the next PR.

Testing: spec/bigshot/priority_spec.rb updated for the new object
shape; spec/bigshot/creature_adapter_spec.rb added, covering the
adapter boundary, dead_or_gone?/gone? (including the corpse-vs-dead
distinction that made gone? necessary as a narrower sibling), the
GameObj-npcs regression guards, and the bandit bridge.

@coderabbitai Both remaining findings are fixed, at the source PR (#2414) as you flagged:

BigshotCreature#status no longer synthesizes "gone" from valid_target?. The fallback path (no matching GameObj entry yet) now only returns "dead" (from the reliable crtr_flag?(:dead)) or nil. It no longer trusts valid_target?, which is false whenever CreatureInstance#dead?'s guessed max_hp/damage_taken heuristic says so - the exact thing this migration's own design notes say not to trust.

The follower loop's dead_or_gone?(leader_tgt) call is now bs.dead_or_gone?(leader_tgt). It was unqualified in top-level script scope while every neighboring call uses bs. - would have raised NoMethodError for any follower whose leader had an active target.

Both fixed at e85120d (the commit #2414's branch now points to), with 3 new regression tests covering the #status fallback (spec/bigshot/creature_adapter_spec.rb), and cascaded through the rest of the stack to f6d059c on #2417. Full suite is 78/78 passing, rubocop clean.

Re-review whenever you get a chance.

@mrhoribu Verified on the current stack heads.

  • PR #2414 points to e85120db05e0ed5d56807b9290e602754d76834b.
  • PR #2417 points to f6d059c00c9138c924ed50348fe552503c59db39.
  • BigshotCreature#status now returns "dead" only for creature.crtr_flag?(:dead) when no GameObj exists. It does not use valid_target?.
  • The new adapter specs cover the dead fallback, the live fallback, and the false-valid_target? damage-heuristic case.
  • The follower loop now calls bs.dead_or_gone?(leader_tgt).

Both findings are resolved. I will re-review the current stack.


✏️ Learnings added
Learnt from: mrhoribu
URL: https://github.com/elanthia-online/scripts/pull/2414

Timestamp: 2026-08-18T00:00:54.176Z
Learning: In `scripts/bigshot.lic`, `BigshotCreature#status` must not infer `"gone"` from `CreatureInstance#valid_target?`. When no matching `GameObj` exists, it returns `"dead"` only when `creature.crtr_flag?(:dead)` is true; otherwise it returns `nil`. `CreatureInstance#valid_target?` can be false because of an unreliable guessed HP and accumulated-damage heuristic.
