 ## Architecture
 
-The system is organized as a four-stage control pipeline: perception, brain, routines, and motor, with environment parsers, navigation, and observability as support layers. It runs as a single 10 Hz loop with zero runtime dependencies beyond the Python 3.14 standard library. That core is surrounded by priority rules across four modules, state-machine routines with enter/tick/exit lifecycles, swappable combat strategies, A\* pathfinding on 1-unit heightmaps, and a GOAP planner with learned cost functions.

 ### Navigation
 
-Zone terrain is parsed from the environment's own 3D geometry into 1-unit-resolution heightmaps with walkability, water, lava, and cliff surface types. A\* searches this grid with surface-type-aware cost functions and danger-zone cost inflation. Pre-built cache files persist across sessions (~80MB per zone, ~20MB resident).
+Zone terrain is parsed from the environment's own 3D geometry into 1-unit-resolution heightmaps with walkability, water, lava, cliff, and obstacle surface types. JPS (Jump Point Search) is the primary pathfinding algorithm, pruning symmetric paths on the grid for speed, with A\* as a fallback when JPS exhausts its node budget in dense terrain. Both use octile-distance heuristics, bitfield-accelerated walkability checks, Z-gradient penalties, and dynamic avoidance-zone cost inflation. Pre-built cache files persist across sessions.
 
-For areas where 2D grid pathfinding fails (bridges, tunnels, spiral ramps, overlapping geometry), pre-recorded waypoint graphs provide known-safe routes. A zone graph with BFS computes multi-zone paths for long-distance travel.
+Line-of-sight uses DDA (Amanatides-Woo) grid traversal, visiting every cell the ray crosses exactly once with no sampling gaps. Obstacle flags and interpolated ray Z are checked per cell. Movement validates the path ahead with predictive obstacle scanning and computes perpendicular detours before hitting hazards, rather than relying on stuck recovery alone.

 ## Test patterns
 
-**Zero suppressions.** The test suite has zero `type: ignore`, zero `noqa`, zero `TODO`, zero monkeypatch calls. All dependencies are constructor-injected.
+**Factory-first testing.** The test suite uses factory functions and dependency injection as the primary testing strategy. `unittest.mock.patch` is used sparingly and only at system boundaries (perception I/O, file system). All domain logic is tested through constructor-injected dependencies, not mocks.
 
 **Factory functions** (`tests/factories.py`): `make_game_state()`, `make_spawn()`, `make_plan_world_state()`, `make_mob_profile()` construct frozen dataclasses with sensible defaults. Tests override only the fields they care about.

 **Stateful property tests** (`tests/test_safety_envelope.py`): a `hypothesis.stateful.RuleBasedStateMachine` exercises the Brain's safety envelope under random state sequences, verifying that emergency rules always override, locked routines are respected, and cooldowns are honored across arbitrary tick sequences.
 
+**Session simulation** (`tests/test_session_simulation.py`): a `SessionSimulator` drives the Brain through multi-phase `GameState` sequences using `register_all()` with real rules. `ScenarioBuilder` constructs scripted scenarios (idle, damage, drain mana, recover). Tests reproduce documented behaviors from `docs/samples/` telemetry, including the forensics ring buffer skeleton-aggro incident.
+
+**Learning invariants** (`tests/test_learning_invariants.py`): property-based tests verifying structural guarantees: gradient weight drift stays within +-20% of defaults under arbitrary fitness sequences, scorecard tuning parameters stay within declared bounds after repeated evaluation, and encounter history respects `MIN_FIGHTS_FOR_LEARNED` and `MAX_SAMPLES` contracts.
+
+**Adversarial sequences** (`tests/test_adversarial.py`): Hypothesis-driven tests feeding arbitrary `GameState` sequences through the Brain to verify it never crashes. Includes edge cases (zero HP max, negative HP, 200-spawn lists) and timing budget assertions (single tick under 100ms).
+
+**Observability contracts** (`tests/test_observability_contracts.py`): verifies that decision receipts cover all registered rules, forensics buffer respects capacity and eviction order, and structured events carry expected fields.
+
+**Architecture enforcement** (`tests/test_import_dag.py`): AST-based tests verifying the forward-only import DAG: routines cannot import brain.decision, motor cannot import brain or routines, perception cannot import upper layers. Also verifies all `Point()` constructors include the z coordinate.
+
+**Pure function tests** (`tests/test_routine_pure_functions.py`): unit tests for decision functions extracted from routines (`classify_dot_fizzle`, `verify_cast_landed`, `choose_pull_strategy`, `should_attempt_gate`, `should_cast_regen_buff`, `should_exit_rest`). No mocks, no motor, no state machines.
+
 **RecordingMotor** (`src/motor/recording.py`): installed by conftest for all tests. Captures motor action sequences for assertion. Eliminates all `time.sleep()` calls, making the test suite run in ~5 seconds.
