@codex[agent] operator experience here could be significantly improved; why wasn't this discrepancy caught in advance, and how are you going to fix it without ruining canon?

We missed it because the previous bar/attribute formatting was inlined in multiple spots, so new stats could bypass the expected format. I centralized formatting and defaults via FormatStatValue/FormatBloodStatBar with abbreviation fallbacks in e2b5e00, so future additions stay canonical without altering existing presentation.

Summary

• Added a proactive validation hook in config parsing (ValidateStatMetadataCoverage) so stat metadata drift is detected as soon as weapon/blood stat dictionaries are loaded, instead of surfacing later in UI behavior. This directly addresses “why wasn’t this caught in advance” by adding an explicit early check stage. Services/DataService.csL428-L433
• Implemented reusable coverage checks (ValidateStatCoverage<TStat>) that compare enum members against abbreviation maps, format maps, and configured value maps, excluding None, and emit consolidated warnings if anything is missing. This improves operator visibility without altering canonical output formatting rules. Services/DataService.csL449-L499
• Added System.Text to support structured warning aggregation with StringBuilder. Services/DataService.csL1-L6
• Committed the changes on branch work with commit 8bc246d, and created a follow-up PR via make_pr titled “Add proactive stat metadata guardrails for formatter parity.”.

Testing

• ⚠️ dotnet build (failed due to environment limitation: dotnet is not installed in this container).

@codex We both know signal is high enough to see the golden path; follow it.

Codex review needs to be baited carefully relative to Pro**
(but will reliably call out possible misses & handle them well for minimal purposes)
