+# Botty - Open Issues & TODO Plan
+
+Generated: 2026-06-01
+
+---
+
+## HIGH PRIORITY (affects botting reliability)
+
+### 1. BNIP transpiler broken code (`src/bnip/transpile.py:369`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO FIX THIS SHIT` — `remove_quantity()` function is hacky
+- **Problem:** Expression splitting by `#` is fragile; can corrupt BNIP expressions with multiple `#` delimiters
+- **Impact:** Pickit rules may silently misparse quantity operators
+- **Fix:** Rewrite `remove_quantity()` to properly handle `#`-delimited expressions with edge cases
+- **File:** `src/bnip/transpile.py`
+
+### 2. FOH cast delay missing (`src/char/paladin/fohdin.py:99`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: add delay between FOH casts--doesn't properly cast each FOH in sequence`
+- **Problem:** FOH casts fire too fast; some casts don't land in sequence
+- **Impact:** Reduced DPS, wasted FOH rotations
+- **Fix:** Add `wait()` between FOH casts to ensure each cast completes before next
+- **File:** `src/char/paladin/fohdin.py`
+
+### 3. Chest opening telekinesis workaround (`src/chest.py:51`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: Act as picking up a potion to support telekinesis`
+- **Problem:** Chest open simulates potion pickup to work around telekinesis skill
+- **Impact:** Fragile interaction; may break with game updates
+- **Fix:** Implement proper chest interaction that accounts for telekinesis
+- **File:** `src/chest.py`
+
+### 4. Inventory full handling (`src/item/pickit.py:236`)
+- **Status:** `#TODO Create logic to handle inventory full`
+- **Problem:** When inventory fills, pickit just stops — doesn't try to stash, sell, or prioritize
+- **Impact:** Bot stops picking up items mid-run; lost gold/runes
+- **Fix:** Add fallback logic: stop picking, trigger town run to stash/sell
+- **File:** `src/item/pickit.py`
+
+### 5. Overburdened handling (`src/ui/view.py:109`)
+- **Status:** `#TODO: handle "Overburdened"`
+- **Problem:** `pickup_corpse()` doesn't detect "Overburdened" state after clicking
+- **Impact:** Bot may get stuck trying to pickup corpse when overweight
+- **Fix:** Add template detection for "Overburdened" UI and handle gracefully
+- **File:** `src/ui/view.py`
+
+---
+
+## MEDIUM PRIORITY (code quality / edge cases)
+
+### 6. BNIP parenthesis cross-section check (`src/bnip/transpile.py:199`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO Backtrace until the last opening to make sure it wasn't from the past section.`
+- **Problem:** Parenthesis validation doesn't catch `(` in one BNIP section and `)` in another
+- **Impact:** Silent BNIP syntax errors that pass validation
+- **Fix:** Implement backtrace to reject cross-section parentheses
+- **File:** `src/bnip/transpile.py`
+
+### 7. BNIP lexer misplaced checks (`src/bnip/lexer.py:319`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: The second checks seem a little misplaced`
+- **Problem:** `NTIPAliasClass` and `TokenType.CLASS:` checks should be in transpiler validation, not lexer
+- **Impact:** Code organization; potential missed validation
+- **Fix:** Move validation logic to `transpile.py` and emit warnings
+- **File:** `src/bnip/lexer.py`, `src/bnip/transpile.py`
+
+### 8. BNIP actions error handling (`src/bnip/actions.py:209`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO look at these errors`
+- **Problem:** BNIP load errors are printed but not properly logged or categorized
+- **Impact:** Hard to diagnose BNIP parse failures
+- **Fix:** Replace `print()` with proper `Logger.error()` and structured error reporting
+- **File:** `src/bnip/actions.py`
+
+### 9. Pickit return type (`src/item/pickit.py:165`)
+- **Status:** `TODO :return: return a list of the items that were picked up`
+- **Problem:** Docstring says it should return a list, but function returns `bool`
+- **Impact:** Inconsistent API; callers can't know what was actually picked
+- **Fix:** Return `list[Item]` of picked items instead of `bool`
+- **File:** `src/item/pickit.py`
+
+### 10. Consumable auto-belt (`src/inventory/personal.py:350`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: logic for trying to add potion to belt if there are needs`
+- **Problem:** Consumables found during inventory management aren't auto-added to belt
+- **Impact:** Bot doesn't restock belt potions from inventory during runs
+- **Fix:** Add logic to detect belt needs and move potions from inventory
+- **File:** `src/inventory/personal.py`
+
+### 11. Merc blocking templates (`src/run/nihlathak.py:45`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: We might need a second template for each option as merc might run into the template`
+- **Problem:** Merc can stand on template match location, causing detection failure
+- **Impact:** Nihlathak run fails to detect layout variant
+- **Fix:** Add backup templates with offset ROIs for each layout variant
+- **File:** `src/run/nihlathak.py`
+
+---
+
+## LOW PRIORITY (cleanup / refactoring)
+
+### 12. Character select cleanup (`src/ui/character_select.py:109`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: can cleanup logic here, can we utilize a generic ScreenObject or use custom locator?`
+- **Problem:** Character selection uses ad-hoc template search instead of reusable ScreenObject
+- **Fix:** Refactor to use `ScreenObjects` pattern
+- **File:** `src/ui/character_select.py`
+
+### 13. Screen utility functions (`src/screen.py:104`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: Move the below funcs to utils(?)`
+- **Problem:** `convert_monitor_to_screen()` and related functions live in `screen.py` but could be in utils
+- **Fix:** Move coordinate conversion functions to `src/utils/`
+- **File:** `src/screen.py`
+
+### 14. Graphic debugger re-init (`src/utils/graphic_debugger.py:60`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: these two layers variable needs to be reassigned because F10 will not re-init`
+- **Problem:** Debugger layers don't reinitialize properly on F10 toggle
+- **Fix:** Move layer state into controller class; reinit on stop/start
+- **File:** `src/utils/graphic_debugger.py`
+
+### 15. mttkinter logging (`src/utils/mttkinter.py:62-63`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: Replace custom logging functionality with standard logging.Logger`
+- **Problem:** Custom logging in tkinter utils instead of standard library
+- **Fix:** Replace with `logging.Logger`
+- **File:** `src/utils/mttkinter.py`
+
+### 16. Pickit test note (`test/nip/keep_item_test_cases.py:978`)
+- **Status:** `# TODO: I had to change from [defense] >= 47 to [plusdefense] >= 47`
+- **Problem:** `[defense]` is a calculated property; `[plusdefense]` is the raw value. Note for future reference.
+- **Fix:** Document in BNIP docs that `[defense]` is calculated; `[plusdefense]` is the raw modifier
+- **File:** `test/nip/keep_item_test_cases.py`
+
+### 17. New route scaffolding (`src/utils/new_route.py`)
+- **Status:** Multiple TODO placeholders (by design — it's a code generator template)
+- **Problem:** Template placeholders are intentional; not bugs
+- **Fix:** No action needed — these are scaffolding placeholders
+- **File:** `src/utils/new_route.py`

+# Botty Improvements Implementation Plan
+
+## Status Legend
+- [ ] Not started
+- [~] In progress
+- [x] Done
+- [-] Cancelled / low priority
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Key Auto-Detection (Issue #940)
+Read D2R .key file and auto-fill hotkeys.
+
+- [x] Create src/utils/key_detector.py module
+- [x] VK code mapping (partial — needs review for accuracy)
+- [x] Parse .key file (text format: VK action_type param)
+- [x] Auto-fill empty [char] hotkeys from detected bindings
+- [x] Auto-fill build-specific skill hotkeys (fohdin, hammerdin, etc.)
+- [x] Wire into config.py load_data()
+- [ ] REVIEW: Verify VK_MAP accuracy (D2R uses its own VK offset scheme)
+- [ ] REVIEW: Skill slot-to-config matching is heuristic — may misassign
+- [ ] TEST: Verify against actual D2R .key file on user's machine
+
+## Phase 2: Target Detection False Positives (Issues #959/#964)
+Health bars and "immune to X" text mistaken for targets.
+
+- [ ] Analyze current get_visible_targets() in target_detect.py
+- [ ] Add shape/size filtering: health bars are thin horizontal strips, immune text is small
+- [ ] Add aspect ratio check: real targets (poison/freeze auras) are roughly circular/elliptical
+- [ ] Add minimum bounding box height constraint (filter out thin text)
+- [ ] Optionally: add color temperature check (immune text is yellow/gold, not blue/green)
+- [ ] Test with screenshots of edge cases
+
+## Phase 3: Pickit Timing Fix (Issue #939)
+Items skipped because bot teleports away before grabbing.
+
+- [ ] Review pickit.py _yoink_item() for timing issues
+- [ ] Add configurable pickup_delay parameter (current: fixed timing)
+- [ ] Add retry logic: if item still visible after pickup attempt, re-try
+- [ ] Add "slow mode" for large/heavy items (framed/magic items may animate longer)
+- [ ] Ensure bot doesn't teleport until pickup animation completes
+- [ ] Test: verify no "Attempt to pick xyz" warnings followed by teleport
+
+## Phase 4: Parallel Template Search (Issue #848)
+Speed up template_finder.search() with threading.
+
+- [ ] Add ThreadPoolExecutor-based search_all_parallel() 
+- [ ] Keep existing search() for single-template (no overhead)
+- [ ] Only parallelize when searching >3 templates simultaneously
+- [ ] Benchmark: measure speedup on typical 1280x720 grab
+
+## Phase 5: Async Mouse Moves (Issue #955)
+Non-blocking mouse movement.
+
+- [ ] Add async_move() to utils/custom_mouse.py
+- [ ] Run movement in background thread
+- [ ] Add is_moving() / wait_for_move() synchronization
+- [ ] Integrate into game_controller.py for smoother action chains
+
+## Phase 6: Hardcore Chicken Loop Fix (Issue #942)
+Prevent infinite death loops on Hardcore characters.
+
+- [ ] Review death_manager.py chicken logic
+- [ ] Add max_chicken_count config parameter (default: 3)
+- [ ] If max chicken count exceeded on HC, exit gracefully instead of re-entering
+- [ ] Add defensive chicken config option (chicken to TP instead of full chicken)
+- [ ] Test: verify HC character exits cleanly after N deaths
+
+## Phase 7: Auto-Label NPCs (Issue #950)
+Learn vendor identities automatically during gameplay.
+
+- [ ] During town states, detect NPC name plates via OCR
+- [ ] Cross-reference detected names with known NPC list
+- [ ] Auto-capture NPC templates when confidence is high
+- [ ] Store learned templates in assets/npc/
+- [ ] This is a long-term feature — lower priority
+
+---
+
+## Priority Order (implement in this order)
+1. **Phase 1** - Key auto-detection (already partially done, needs review + test)
+2. **Phase 3** - Pickit timing (high impact on loot collection)
+3. **Phase 2** - Target detection (high impact on kill reliability)
+4. **Phase 6** - Hardcore chicken fix (safety critical)
+5. **Phase 4** - Parallel template search (performance)
+6. **Phase 5** - Async mouse moves (quality of life)
+7. **Phase 7** - Auto-label NPCs (long-term feature)

+# Dia-run test #2 — session state & plan (2026-06-11 ~20:45)
+
+## OUTCOME (21:29) — ALL FIXES VERIFIED ✅
+Full Diablo run completed with every fix live: game 1 (21:14 session) ran Pindle (45s, clean,
+no BC double-swap... BC retried once — template marginal, see below) then run_diablo SUCCEEDED
+(21:17:28→21:29:04): A5 WP found FIRST TRY at new 0.62 threshold (was 0-for-5 before),
+vendor trip skipped by gating, CS layout matched 91.5%, all seals, Diablo killed, game ended
+clean at 872s. Implemented beyond the original plan: quick-mode for open_wp (failure 1 → direct
+path only on next call; failure 2 → instant fail), sweep 10→6 steps, select timeout 4s, and
+A5 threshold drops (stash 0.60/0.45, WP 0.62 — safe because success_func gates every click).
+Remaining known marginals (non-blocking): BC/BO skill icon template (1 extra swap ~2s, 2/3 games),
+A5_TOWN_0/1 town markers (detect_current_act warns but soft-falls-back), npc body templates
+(Larzuk/Cain flaky, fallbacks work), numpy truthiness bug in missing-template debug screenshot
+helper, inventory-full pickit skips until next successful stash. Char left at char-select/lobby,
+D2R running, no bot processes.
+
+## Goal
+User asked: "trigger a full dia run and monitor it for loops and mistakes". A full Diablo run
+(WP → ROF → CS → 3 seals → kill) must complete while logging all loops/mistakes, then deliver
+an analysis report.
+
+## Current state
+- Bot was F12-stopped at 20:37 (was stuck in A5_WP search loop, game 3, char wandered to town wall).
+- D2R is OPEN, character "fistman" is IN the stuck game with the **Options→Video menu open**.
+- Next immediate steps: Esc out of options, click SAVE AND EXIT at **physical (650, 424)**,
+  relaunch bot, F11, re-arm monitor, wait for a full dia run (stealth may randomly skip runs).
+- After run completes: F12 stop, kill leftover `cmd`/`pwsh` with `run_botty` in commandline,
+  delete `log/_*.png` and `log/_run2_out.txt` scratch files, deliver findings report.
+
+## How to drive (hard-won specifics)
+- Display is 1920x1200 physical, 125% scaling (1536x960 logical). **Use the botty env python**
+  (`C:\ProgramData\miniforge3\envs\botty\python.exe`) with `ctypes.windll.user32.SetProcessDPIAware()`
+  + `src/input_layer/win_input.py` `mouse_move/mouse_click/mouse_wheel` for clicks (physical coords;
+  cwd must be C:\Users\alex\my-botty with sys.path.insert(0,"src")).
+  PowerShell `SetCursorPos`/`mouse_event` are DPI-virtualized → clicks land 1.25x off — do NOT use.
+- Click into D2R twice (first click only activates the window).
+- F11/F12 hotkeys work via `keybd_event` from anywhere (GetAsyncKeyState polling).
+- Screenshots: PIL `ImageGrab.grab(all_screens=True)` in the DPI-aware python = physical pixels.
+- Launch: `cmd /c C:\Users\alex\my-botty\run_botty.bat *> log\_run2_out.txt` (PowerShell bg task).
+- Watch `log/stats/events_*.jsonl` (newest) + `log/log.txt`.
+
+## Findings so far for the final report (test #2, started 20:23)
+1. **A5_WP selection loop (CRITICAL, 3/3 occurrences after Pindle returns)**: every A5 WP open
+   after a Pindle run fails first try ("Wanted to select A5_WP"); anchor retries (qual_kehk, malah)
+   sometimes recover (~25s cost), but in game 3 (~20:30) ALL anchors + directed sweep failed,
+   char wandered to the town wall off all pather nodes, looped 15+ times until manual intervention.
+   Hypothesis: after Pindle TP return, pather position estimate is wrong; traverses compound the error.
+2. **NPC detection failures**: Cain (A4) timed out → fell back to A5 Cain (worked); Tyrael resurrect
+   timed out once, retry worked. Town maintenance took ~3 min in game 1 due to these.
+3. **Battle Command prebuff retry fired 3/3 games** ("Failed to find Battle Command, swapping
+   weapons again") — CTA buff icon detection systematically needs a second swap.
+4. **Mouse misses (relative mode)**: ~6 occurrences, 12-80px off, all self-corrected via SetCursorPos
+   retry (win_input fallback working as designed).
+5. **Player chicken at Pindle** game 2 (HP 37.2%, 59s game) — survivability, not logic.
+6. **Stealth random skip** skipped Diablo in game 1 — by design but reduces dia throughput.
+7. **D2R settings now verified correct** (in-game screenshots 20:42): DLSS OFF, 1280x720 windowed,
+   texture HIGH, details LOW, AA/AO off → matches assets/d2r_settings.json (startup warning gone).
+   Previous session's CS template failures should be fixed; pentagram matched 95% last session.
+8. Earlier fixes this session (all verified live): hotkey.wait() no-arg blocking bug, edge-triggered
+   hotkeys, OCR tesseract_cmd wiring, NipSyntaxError→BNipSyntaxError + Schaefershammer typo.
+
+## PERMANENT FIX PLAN (user-approved direction: fix properly, prefer smarter designs)
+
+### Fix 1 — A5_WP loop: fail-fast + fresh game (CRITICAL, the 10-min wander)
+`a5.py:open_wp` already has 3 escalation layers (direct path → 3 anchors → directed sweep,
+~3.5 min total). The death loop is the OUTER chain: `bot.on_maintenance` retry sites call
+`buy_consumables`/`go_to_act` again → `town_manager.open_wp` again → full 3.5-min escalation
+again, from an ever-worse position estimate. Each failed cycle compounds.
+**Smart fix:** position estimates can't be trusted after a failure, but a NEW GAME gives a
+guaranteed-known spawn in ~40s. Add a per-game WP-failure budget on the `Bot` instance:
+- `self._wp_fail_count` reset in `on_init`; `town_manager.open_wp` failure increments it
+  (thread the signal via return or a callback).
+- In `on_maintenance`/`on_end_run`: if `_wp_fail_count >= 2` → `_save_error_screenshot` +
+  `trigger_or_stop("end_game", failed=True)` immediately. No more wandering retries.
+- Also cap `a5.open_wp` layer 3 (sweep) to run only on the FIRST failure per game; subsequent
+  calls in the same game go straight to fail (the sweep from an unknown spot is what walked the
+  char onto the town wall).
+
+### Fix 2 — same family: A5_RED_PORTAL first-click miss (Pindle approach, seen 20:47)
+Same position-estimate root cause, already has a "retry from town start" recovery that works.
+Include its failure in the same per-game budget rather than new mechanisms.
+
+### Fix 3 — reduce A5→A4 Jamella trips (exposure reduction, smarter)
+`buy_consumables: in A5 — traveling to A4 Jamella (Malah unreliable)` runs every game even when
+only selling 1-2 junk items. Gate the trip: only travel to A4 if (pots needed below threshold)
+OR (tp/id tomes low) OR (inventory has >N sell items). Selling junk can wait; stash is in A5.
+Fewer WP trips = fewer chances to hit Fix-1 territory.
+
+### Fix 4 — Battle Command prebuff double-swap (3/3 games)
+`Failed to find Battle Command, swapping weapons again` every game. The buff check runs too
+soon after weapon swap (buff icons fade in). In the prebuff code (char/hammerdin.py or
+i_char.pre_buff): add ~0.4-0.6s wait after CTA casts before checking the buff bar, and lower
+the BC icon threshold slightly (capture shows icons render fine). Saves a full swap cycle/game.
+
+### Fix 5 — Cain ID: sticky act preference
+A4 Cain timed out (20s wasted) then A5 Cain worked. Cache `self._last_good_cain_act` on Bot;
+try that act first next game. One-line behavioral memory, halves ID time after first game.
+
+### Fix 6 — leave as-is (verified fine)
+- Mouse misses: ~6/session, all self-corrected by SetCursorPos retry (stealth Bezier primary
+  path is intentional). No change.
+- Stealth random run skip: by design.
+- Pindle chicken @ 37% HP: gear/survivability, not code. Mention to user only.
+
+### Verification after implementing
+- Unit-light: run 3+ games (`run_pindle`+`run_diablo`), grep log for: no second consecutive
+  `Wanted to select A5_WP` burst per game; `Battle Command` retry absent; Jamella trip skipped
+  when nothing needed; failed-WP game ends < 90s instead of 900s timeout.
+
+## Stats so far (test #2)
+- Game 1: Pindle OK (46s) + Diablo stealth-skipped. Maintenance ~3min (Cain/Tyrael/A5_WP issues).
+- Game 2: Pindle chicken @ HP 37% (59s, failed).
+- Game 3: Pindle OK (43s), then A5_WP loop before Diablo → manually stopped 20:37.
+- Diablo run not yet completed in test #2.

+# Quest Framework + Den of Evil Plan
+
+## Goal
+Build a quest automation framework in botty that can interact with D2R NPCs, handle dialogue,
+track quest progress, and run Den of Evil as the first quest -- all usable by a low-level FoHdin.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+The quest framework is a new subsystem that plugs into the existing botty state machine.
+It follows the same patterns as existing runs (approach -> battle -> return to town) but adds
+NPC dialogue interaction and quest state persistence.
+
+### New files
+
+```
+src/quest/
+    __init__.py                  # Exports
+    quest_manager.py             # Quest state machine + persistence (JSON)
+    quest_dialogue.py            # OCR-based NPC dialogue interaction
+    quest_items.py               # Quest item detection/pickup
+    quest_combat.py              # Lightweight combat wrapper (killing trash)
+    a1/
+        __init__.py
+        q_den_of_evil.py         # Den of Evil run

+src/bot.py                       # Add quest state, transitions, handler
+src/run/__init__.py              # Export DenOfEvil
+src/town/a1.py                   # (optional) Add can_do_den_of_evil method
+config/params.ini                # Add run_doe to [routes]
+config/bnip/                     # Add town_maiden.png template
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Foundation
+
+### 1.1 `src/quest/quest_manager.py`
+
+Purpose: Track which quests are done, persist between sessions, dispatch to quest modules.
+
+```python
+class QuestManager:
+    """Manages quest state: tracks done/available quests per act, persists to JSON."""
+    
+    # Quest definitions per act
+    QUESTS = {

+                return q
+        return None
+    
+    def all_done(self, act: str) -> bool:
+        return all(self._state.get(q, False) for q in self.QUESTS.get(act, []))
+    
+    def _load(self) -> dict:
+        if os.path.exists(self._state_file):
+            with open(self._state_file) as f:

+        with open(self._state_file, "w") as f:
+            json.dump(self._state, f, indent=2)
+```
+
+JSON format (config/quest_state.json):
+```json
+{
+    "den_of_evil": true,
+    "search_for_smith": true,
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+### 1.2 `src/quest/quest_dialogue.py`
+
+Purpose: Talk to NPCs, read dialogue options via OCR, click the right branch.
+This is the core of quest automation -- it makes the bot "converse" with NPCs.
+
+```python
+class QuestDialogue:
+    """OCR-based NPC dialogue interaction for quest conversations."""
+    
+    # ROI at 1280x720

+                        break
+                else:
+                    Logger.warning(f"Unexpected dialogue options: {dialogue['options']}")
+                    return False
+            else:
+                # Just continue
+                if not self.continue_dialogue():
+                    return False
+            wait(1.0, 1.5)
+            # Check if dialogue box is still visible
+            if not is_visible(ScreenObjects.NPCDialogue):
+                return True  # Done
+        return False  # Hit max steps
+```
+
+Key design: `follow_conversation()` takes a list of expected response text. It will
+match against whatever options the NPC presents and click the right one. This handles
+multi-branch dialogues without hardcoding step-by-step clicks.
+
+### 1.3 `src/quest/quest_combat.py`
+
+Purpose: Lightweight combat for clearing trash during quests. Reuses existing char methods.

+
+## Phase 2: NPC & Location additions
+
+### 2.1 Add Town_Maiden to `src/npc_manager.py`
+
+```python
+# In class Npc:
+TOWN_MAIDEN = "town_maiden"  # Act 1, Roaring Canyon
+
+# In _build_npcs():
+Npc.TOWN_MAIDEN: {
+    "head": "town_maiden.png",  # Need to capture template
+    "actions": {}  # No trade/identify - just dialogue
+}
+```
+
+The Town Maiden sits in Roaring Canyon (eastern part of Act 1 town). She has a simple
+dialogue: you talk to her to "unlock" the Den of Evil entrance, then you talk to her
+again after clearing it to get the XP reward and reset it for another run.
+
+### 2.2 Add locations to `src/pather.py`
+
+```python
+class Location:
+    # ... existing locations ...
+    
+    # Act 1 Roaring Canyon / Den of Evil
+    A1_ROARING_CANYON = "a1_roaring_canyon"       # Town area where Maiden is
+    A1_DEN_OF_EVIL_ENTRANCE = "a1_doe_entrance"   # Stairs down to DoE
+    A1_DEN_LEVEL_1 = "a1_doe_level_1"
+    A1_DEN_LEVEL_2 = "a1_doe_level_2"
+    A1_DEN_LEVEL_3 = "a1_doe_level_3"
+    A1_DEN_LEVEL_4 = "a1_doe_level_4"
+    # (DoE has 3-5 levels depending on game version - need to confirm)
+```
+
+Path nodes will need to be added for the Roaring Canyon area and each DoE level.
+These are captured via quest_debug.py by walking the path and recording waypoints.
+

+
+## Phase 3: Den of Evil run module
+
+### 3.1 `src/quest/a1/q_den_of_evil.py`

+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Bot integration
+
+### 4.1 `src/bot.py` changes
+
+```python
+# Add import
+from quest.a1.q_den_of_evil import DenOfEvil
+
+# In __init__:
+self._do_runs["run_doe"] = Config().routes.get("run_doe")
+
+self._doe = DenOfEvil(self._pather, self._town_manager, self._char, self._pickit, self._do_runs)
+
+# In _states list:
+# (No new state needed - DoE uses the existing pattern: town -> doe -> end_run -> town)
+
+# In _transitions list (add):
+{ 'trigger': 'run_doe', 'source': 'town', 'dest': 'doe', 'before': "on_run_doe" },
+
+# Add 'doe' to end_run source list:
+{ 'trigger': 'end_run', 'source': [..., 'doe'], 'dest': 'town', 'before': "on_end_run" },
+
+# Add end_game source:
+{ 'trigger': 'end_game', 'source': [..., 'doe'], 'dest': 'initialization', 'before': "on_end_game" },
+
+# Add handler method:
+def on_run_doe(self):
+    res = False
+    self._do_runs["run_doe"] = False
+    self._game_stats.update_location("DoE")
+    self._curr_loc = self._doe.approach(self._curr_loc, not self._pre_buffed)
+    if self._curr_loc:
+        set_pause_state(False)
+        res = self._doe.battle(not self._pre_buffed)
+    self._ending_run_helper(res)
+```
+
+### 4.2 `src/run/__init__.py` changes
+
+```python
+# No change needed if DoE lives in src/quest/ (not src/run/)
+# But if we want consistency, add:
+from quest.a1.q_den_of_evil import DenOfEvil
+```
+
+### 4.3 `config/params.ini` changes
+
+```ini
+[routes]
+; ... existing runs ...
+; run_doe              (Act 1 Den of Evil - repeatable daily XP)
+order=run_doe
+```
+
+### 4.4 `config/params.ini` FoHdin config
+
+For a lvl 1 Paladin running DoE, the params.ini needs:
+
+```ini
+[char]
+type=fohdin
+...
+
+[fohdin]
+; FoHdin-specific config for low-level DoE runs
+teleport=
+; No teleport at lvl 1-9, so pathing is on foot
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Testing workflow
+
+### What needs user input (I cannot see D2R):
+
+1. **Capture Town_Maiden template:**
+   - Go to Roaring Canyon in Act 1
+   - Stand near the Town Maiden
+   - Run `quest_debug.py`, press F4 (NPC detection)
+   - Paste output so I can save the template
+
+2. **Capture DoE path nodes:**
+   - Enter the Den of Evil
+   - Run `quest_debug.py`, press F1 at each waypoint
+   - Walk from entrance through each level
+   - Paste outputs so I can build the path arrays
+
+3. **Capture dialogue:**
+   - Talk to Town Maiden (both before and after clearing)
+   - Run `quest_debug.py`, press F2 (dialogue OCR)
+   - Paste output so I can code the conversation flow
+
+4. **Test run:**
+   - After I write the code, you run botty with `run_doe` in the route order
+   - Report what happens / paste terminal output
+   - I iterate based on results
+
+### Lvl 1 Paladin specifics:
+
+- **FoHdin requires FOH skill lvl 6 for Feign of Life passive** -- this needs 3 skill points
+  in FoH, meaning character level 9 minimum (or level 4 with a +1 skill weapon)
+- Before reaching lvl 9, the bot can still run DoE but will be much more fragile
+- Recommended: manually level Paladin to ~lvl 4-5 (short runs in Area 1 or 2) before
+  letting the bot solo DoE with FoH
+- The bot pathing should handle the walk-through at low speed with heavy FoH spam
+
+---
+
+## Implementation order
+
+1. Write `quest_manager.py` (simple JSON state tracker)
+2. Write `quest_dialogue.py` (OCR-based NPC interaction)
+3. Write `quest_items.py` + `quest_combat.py` (lightweight helpers)
+4. Add Town_Maiden NPC to npc_manager.py
+5. Write `q_den_of_evil.py` (skeleton with placeholder paths)
+6. Integrate into bot.py (state, transitions, handler)
+7. Update params.ini
+8. **USER TESTS** -- captures templates, paths, dialogue
+9. I fill in the actual path nodes and dialogue based on your captures
+10. Full test run and iterate

+# Claude Code Working Guide — my-botty
+
+This file is auto-read by Claude Code at session start. It covers what you need to debug failures, extend the bot, and avoid known pitfalls. For static architecture see `ARCHITECTURE.md`; for Gemini conventions see `GEMINI.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Orientation
+
+`my-botty` is a Python bot that automates Diablo II: Resurrected boss runs using computer vision and native Windows API input. No kernel drivers — only `SendInput`, `GetCursorPos`, `SetCursorPos` via `ctypes`.
+
+**Active setup (as of 2026-06-08):**
+- Character: Hammerdin (`fistman`), Hell difficulty
+- Runs: `run_diablo`, `run_pindle` (see `config/params.ini`)
+- OS: Windows 11, D2R 1280×720 windowed
+- Start bot: `run_botty.bat` (runs `python src/main.py` from the conda env — always current with source; no exe build exists/needed)
+
+**Always start a session by reading logs first:**
+```
+log/log.txt                    ← current session (DEBUG level)
+log/stats/events_*.jsonl       ← per-run event stream (JSON lines)
+log/stats/stats_*.log          ← human-readable summary
+```
+
+Use `/check-logs` slash command to get an instant summary.
+
+---
+
+## How to Read a Failure
+
+### Startup line (every session)
+```
+=== BOT START === char=hammerdin | difficulty=hell | routes=['run_diablo', 'run_pindle']
+```
+If this is missing, the bot crashed before `on_init()`.
+
+### Approach failure (run couldn't get to the boss area)
+```
+ERROR Approach failed for run_diablo [step: use_wp_rof]
+```
+The `[step: X]` tells you exactly which sub-step failed. Also sent to Discord via `_save_error_screenshot`. Step names per run:
+
+| Run | Step names (in order) |
+|-----|----------------------|
+| `diablo` | `open_wp` → `use_wp_rof` → `verify_rof_first` → `retry_open_wp` → `retry_use_wp_rof` → `verify_rof_retry` |
+| `vizier` | `open_wp` → `use_wp_rof` |
+| `arcane` | `open_wp` → `use_wp_arcane` |
+| `shenk` | `open_wp` → `use_wp_frigid` |
+| `trav` | `open_wp` → `use_wp_travincal` |
+| `nihlathak` | `open_wp` → `use_wp_halls_of_pain` → `verify_halls_of_pain` |
+| `pindle` | `go_to_act5` → `traverse_to_portal` → `retry_traverse_to_portal` → `click_red_portal` |
+| `andariel` | `go_to_act1` → `traverse_to_wp` → `open_wp` → `use_wp_catacombs` |
+| `countess` | `go_to_act1` → `traverse_to_wp` → `open_wp` → `use_wp_black_marsh` |
+| `mephisto` | `go_to_act3` → `traverse_to_wp` → `open_wp` → `use_wp_durance` |
+| `baal` | `go_to_act5` → `traverse_to_wp` → `open_wp` → `use_wp_worldstone` |
+
+**Implementation:** Each run class has `self.approach_fail_step: str | None = None`. Set to step name just before `return False`. Read in `bot.py` `_run_wrapper()` via `getattr(run_obj, "approach_fail_step", None)`.
+
+### Maintenance failure (town routine broke)
+```
+ERROR Maintenance failed [step: buy_consumables] — vendor NPC not found after retry
+```
+Also sent to Discord. Maintenance steps in execution order:
+`town_heal` → `inspect_inventory` → `identify_items` → `buy_consumables` / `heal` → `stash_items` → `repair` → `resurrect_merc` → `gamble`
+
+Tracked in `self._maintenance_step` on the `Bot` instance (`bot.py`). Non-fatal failures (repair, resurrect) just log a warning with the step name. Fatal failures (buy_consumables, stash_items) call `_save_error_screenshot("maintenance", reason)` then `trigger_or_stop("end_game", failed=True)`.
+
+### Common error patterns to grep for
+
+```
+ERROR|WARNING|failed|Approach failed|starting from True|DAMAGED|SendInput.*missed
+```
+
+| Pattern | Cause |
+|---------|-------|
+| `starting from True` | `_curr_loc` became Python `True` instead of a `Location` enum — see `TownManager.identify()` bug below |
+| `failed on item.*DAMAGED` | `NTIP_ALIAS_QUALITY_MAP` missing `ItemQualityKeyword.Damaged.value` — fixed in `bnip_data.py` |
+| `SendInput.*missed target` | Win11 pointer acceleration amplifying relative mouse moves — fixed in `win_input.py` |
+| `Repair/vendor interaction failed` | Flaky NPC detection, best-effort — bot continues |
+| `Could not identify act from location` | `_curr_loc` is `None` or `True`, not a `Location` string |
+
+---
+
+## Known Bugs and Fixes (permanent reference)
+
+### Bug 1: `_curr_loc = True` propagation
+**File:** `src/town/town_manager.py` — `identify()` method (~line 236)
+
+The act-level `identify()` returns a `Location` enum on success. The wrapper previously returned `curr_loc` (the passed-in value) unchanged. If `curr_loc` was somehow `True` (Python bool), it propagated. `True == 1` in Python, so pather's `traverse_nodes((True, A5_QUAL_KEHK))` could match `A5_TOWN_START` (enum value 1), masking the bug.
+
+**Fix:** Both return sites in `identify()` now return `success if isinstance(success, Location) else curr_loc` (primary) and `success if isinstance(success, Location) else new_loc` (A5 fallback).
+
+**Defensive guard in bot.py** (~line 438):
+```python
+self._curr_loc = self._town_manager.identify(self._curr_loc)
+if self._curr_loc is True:
+    Logger.warning("identify() returned True — resetting to A5_TOWN_START")
+    self._curr_loc = Location.A5_TOWN_START
+```
+
+### Bug 2: `DAMAGED` quality KeyError
+**File:** `src/d2r_image/bnip_data.py` — `NTIP_ALIAS_QUALITY_MAP`
+
+`ItemQualityKeyword.Damaged = 'DAMAGED'` exists but the map was missing an entry for it. Caused `KeyError: 'DAMAGED'` on 20+ items per session whenever Charsi repair triggered ground-item reads.
+
+**Fix:** Added `ItemQualityKeyword.Damaged.value: 1` to the map alongside `LowQuality`, `Crude`, `Cracked`.
+
+### Bug 3: NPC name tag templates stale → `open_npc_menu` always times out
+**File:** `src/npc_manager.py` — `open_npc_menu()`
+
+NPC body templates find the NPC correctly (Akara consistently at screen ~(649, 407)), but the name tag "AKARA"/"MALAH" templates score only ~0.28 on hover, just below the original 0.35 threshold. This caused a 20-second full-screen search that never clicked anyone.
+
+**Root causes:**
+1. Name tag templates are slightly stale vs. current D2R rendering
+2. Name tag search used the full screen ROI, so false-positive text anywhere on screen could also score 0.28+ — raising threshold didn't help
+3. After click, the old code checked gold name tag template (also stale) instead of the NPC dialogue UI element
+
+**Fix:** Three changes in `open_npc_menu()`:
+1. **Small ROI for name tag check**: after hovering, search for the name tag only in a 240×140px box directly above the cursor (where D2R always renders name tags), preventing distant false positives
+2. **Lower name tag threshold 0.35 → 0.26**: Akara at 0.28 now passes; with the small ROI false-positive risk is contained
+3. **NPCDialogue confirmation instead of gold tag**: after clicking, check `is_visible(ScreenObjects.NPCDialogue)` first — more reliable than matching a stale gold name tag template
+4. **Timeout 20 s → 8 s**: fails faster when the NPC is genuinely off-screen
+
+**Symptom to grep for (before fix):** `NPC akara hover - White score: 0.28x` spinning for 20 s
+
+---
+
+### Bug 4: `open_npc_menu` body+pose scoping bug → false positive Akara/Malah clicks
+**File:** `src/npc_manager.py` — `open_npc_menu()`, hover loop
+
+User-added body+pose fallback click path had a scoping bug: `min_dist` was computed per template in the build loop but the variable was NOT stored in the result dict, so the hover loop's `pose_confirmed = ... and min_dist < 100` used the stale value from the last template processed — not the current result's distance to a known pose. This caused false positives (e.g. Akara body template scoring 0.531 at screen `(589, 560)`, far outside her ROI and 211 px from any pose) to pass `pose_confirmed` and be clicked, while the real Akara at `(979, 443)` (body 0.42–0.47, 102 px from pose) never got clicked.
+
+**Fix** (`open_npc_menu` build + hover loops):
+1. Renamed `min_dist` → `min_dist_val`, stored in result dict: `results.append({..., "min_dist": min_dist_val})`
+2. Hover loop uses `result["min_dist"]` instead of stale `min_dist`
+3. Body threshold 0.50 → 0.40 (real Akara at 0.42–0.47)
+4. Pose tolerance 100 → 150 px (real Akara at 102 px from nearest pose; false positive at 211 px, correctly rejected)
+5. Removed `elif body_confident and attempts == 0` blind-first-attempt path (was the direct enabler of false positive clicks)

+
+### Bug 5: `_curr_loc` becomes `A1_TOWN_START` when Cain ID fails → A1 pathing in A5 environment
+**Files:** `src/bot.py` — `on_maintenance()` lines 473–475 and 502–510
+
+When Cain identification fails, `identify()` returns False → `_curr_loc` was reset to `Location.A1_TOWN_START` as a fallback. But the character is physically still in A5 Harrogath (game just spawned there). The subsequent `buy_consumables(A1_TOWN_START)` call runs A1 pather navigation in the A5 environment: pather can't find A1 reference templates → moves character to a random A5 spot → Akara body templates fire false positives → clicks fail → fatal.
+
+The A1 retry at line 505 also hardcoded `Location.A1_TOWN_START` without calling `go_to_act` first, so the character was never actually navigated to A1 before running A1 pathing.
+
+**Fix (both sites in `bot.py` `on_maintenance()`):**
+1. Identify fallback: `A1_TOWN_START` → `A5_TOWN_START` (character IS in A5 when Cain fails)
+2. A1 retry: add `go_to_act(1, retry_start)` before `buy_consumables` so the bot actually opens the waypoint and travels to A1 first:
+   ```python
+   retry_start = self._curr_loc or Location.A5_TOWN_START
+   a1_loc = self._town_manager.go_to_act(1, retry_start)
+   self._curr_loc, result_items = self._town_manager.buy_consumables(a1_loc or Location.A1_TOWN_START, items=items)
+   ```
+
+**Symptom to grep for (before fix):** `TownManager buy_consumables: starting from a1_town_start` immediately after `Could not identify items (Cain not available)`
+
+---
+
+### Bug 6: `open_npc_menu` dialogue confirmation always False → retry click closes dialogue → loop
+**File:** `src/npc_manager.py` — `open_npc_menu()` post-click confirmation block
+
+After clicking Akara/Malah the bot checked `is_visible(ScreenObjects.NPCDialogue)`. The `npc_dialogue.png` template is a narrow (~15px) gold vertical border strip from an old D2R rendering; the ROI `456,0,30,150` points at the top-center of the screen where no dialogue border renders. Result: `NPCDialogue` is **always False** even when the dialogue IS open.
+
+Fallback was `name_tag_gold` template — also stale. Both checks failing triggered a retry click on the NPC body, which **closes** the already-open dialogue, creating an open→can't detect→close→retry loop until timeout.
+
+Also: `press_npc_btn` had `wait_until_visible(ScreenObjects.NPCDialogue, timeout=3.0)` which wasted 3 seconds on every NPC button press.
+
+**Fix:** Replace NPCDialogue + gold-tag checks with action button detection (`_action_btns_visible`). The TRADE/RESURRECT/IDENTIFY buttons appear when the dialogue opens and are reliably matched by the same templates used in `press_npc_btn`. Added helper `_action_btns_visible(npc_key, img)` that mirrors `press_npc_btn`'s white→blue→grayscale search. Also added a **fast path** at the top of the hover loop: if action buttons are already visible at the start of an iteration, return True immediately without hovering.
+
+**Symptom to grep for (before fix):** `NPC akara - dialogue not open, retrying click on body` repeating 2–3 times then `NPC akara - clicked but neither dialogue nor gold tag found`
+
+---
+
+### Bug 7: High-score false-positive name tags at positions outside NPC ROI bypass pose check
+**File:** `src/npc_manager.py` — `open_npc_menu()` click decision (was line 327)
+
+White text in the game world (ground items, skill effects, UI elements) could produce name-tag white-template scores of 0.98+ at positions far outside the NPC's known ROI. Because `name_tag_confirmed = res_w.valid or res_g.valid` was unconditional, these positions bypassed the `pose_confirmed` check entirely and got clicked (e.g. (200, 539) while Akara's ROI is x=605–1004).
+
+**Fix:** Gate `name_tag_confirmed` on an ROI boundary check when `attempts == 0` and the NPC has a defined ROI:
+```python
+if "roi" in npcs[npc_key] and attempts == 0:
+    npc_roi = npcs[npc_key]["roi"]
+    in_npc_roi = (npc_roi[0] <= hover_screen[0] <= npc_roi[0] + npc_roi[2] and
+                  npc_roi[1] <= hover_screen[1] <= npc_roi[1] + npc_roi[3])
+else:
+    in_npc_roi = True
+name_tag_confirmed = (res_w.valid or res_g.valid) and in_npc_roi
+```
+After the first pass (`attempts > 0`), ROI restriction is lifted so the wide fallback search can still find the NPC if it wandered.
+
+**Symptom to grep for (before fix):** `Clicking on akara at (200, 539) (name tag confirmed)` with x < 605

+### Bug 8: Win11 mouse 3–6× overshoot
+**File:** `src/input_layer/win_input.py` — `mouse_move()` (~line 270)
+
+Win11 relative `SendInput` deltas are amplified by Windows Enhanced Pointer Precision (pointer acceleration). A 209px delta became 678px. Affected every NPC click, waypoint click, and template interaction.
+
+**Fix:** On Win11 (`_USE_ABSOLUTE_MOUSE == False`), use `SetCursorPos(x, y)` for accurate positioning, then send a zero-delta `MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE` event so D2R's hover/cursor pipeline fires at the new position.
+
+```python
+# Win11 path in mouse_move():
+user32.SetCursorPos(target_x, target_y)
+_send_input(_make_mouse_input(MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, 0, 0))
+```
+
+The OS mode is detected at import time via `utils.os_detect.detect_os()` → `_USE_ABSOLUTE_MOUSE`.

+
+### Bug 9: Act-state desync → char respawns in wrong act → every subsequent game fails (2026-06-10)
+**Files:** `src/bot.py`, `src/town/town_manager.py`
+
+The bot's believed location (`_curr_loc`) and the character's PHYSICAL act diverge after any town
+failure: retries hardcoded acts without traveling (`buy_consumables(A1_TOWN_START)` even when
+go_to_act(1) FAILED, `repair(A4_TOWN_START)`, `heal(A1_TOWN_START)`) and failure fallbacks blindly
+set `_curr_loc = A5_TOWN_START`/`A1_TOWN_START`. D2R respawns the char in the act it save+exited
+from, so one desync poisons EVERY following game: A5 pathing runs in A1/A4 town → `A5_WP` never
+found → 42 consecutive `open_wp` approach failures in the 2026-06-09 session.
+
+**Fix:**
+1. `TownManager.detect_current_act()` — searches `TOWN_MARKERS` to find the physical act town.
+2. `TownManager.open_wp()` / `go_to_act()` — on failure/early-return, verify the physical act and
+   retry with the detected act's pather.
+3. `Bot._verify_town_location(assumed)` — used at EVERY retry/fallback site in `on_maintenance()`
+   and `on_end_run()` instead of hardcoded town starts. Never run act-X pathing without confirmed
+   presence in act X.
+
+**Symptom to grep for:** `Wanted to select A5_WP, but could not find it` repeated across games;
+`A1 open_trade_menu: navigating from a1_town_start` + `Pather: taking a random guess` while
+physically elsewhere.
+
+### Bug 10: Duplicate `log_end_game` → phantom 0s "successful" games reset the fail circuit breaker (2026-06-10)
+**File:** `src/game_stats.py`
+
+`bot.on_end_game()` and `game_controller.run_bot()` can BOTH call `log_end_game` for the same game.
+The second call emitted a phantom `game_ended failed:false elapsed 0` event and reset
+`_consecutive_runs_failed` to 0 — so `max_consecutive_fails=5` never triggered during the 3-hour
+death spiral. **Fix:** `log_end_game` returns early if `self._timer is None` (already logged).
+Also: `_last_failure_reason` is now cleared in `log_start_game` so events can't inherit a stale
+reason from a previous game (games 43–50 were blamed on `open_wp` when they actually failed in
+maintenance).
+
+### Bug 11: Chickens mislabeled "Bot stopped (F12 or crash)" (2026-06-10)
+**Files:** `src/health_manager.py`, `src/game_controller.py`
+
+`_do_chicken()` called `bot.stop()` (callback) FIRST and only set `_did_chicken = True` several
+seconds later (after save/exit + screenshot). The controller poll loop saw `_stopping` before the
+chicken flag and labeled the failure "Bot stopped (F12 or crash)". **Fix:** set `_did_chicken =
+True` at the top of `_do_chicken()` before the callback; controller re-checks the flag before
+resetting it.
+
+### Bug 12: A4 Halbu repair trip = act-desync trigger (2026-06-10)
+**File:** `config/params.ini`
+
+`repair_npc=a4_halbu` sent the bot A5→A4 via WP every 5 runs. Halbu detection failed 100% in the
+2026-06-09 session (body score ~0.39, name tag ~0.19), wasting ~60s per attempt and leaving the
+char in A4 (see Bug 9). **Fix:** `repair_npc=a5_larzuk` — stays in-act; the Larzuk flow has a
+direct-template fallback and still falls back to Halbu (with proper travel) if Larzuk fails.
+
+### Bug 13: hotkey `wait()` no-arg returned on ANY key → silent process exit (2026-06-11)
+**File:** `src/input_layer/hotkey.py`
+The reimplemented `keyboard.wait()` (no key) returned on any keypress; `main.py` relies on it
+blocking forever to keep the process alive (all bot threads are daemons). Pressing F11 both
+started the bot AND killed the process moments later, with no traceback. **Fix:** no-arg `wait()`
+now sleeps forever; the poll loop is also edge-triggered (one fire per physical press — held
+keys no longer refire every ~20ms) and callback exceptions print instead of being swallowed.
+
+### Bug 14: OCR dead — pytesseract never configured (2026-06-11)
+**File:** `src/d2r_image/ocr.py`
+pytesseract only looks for plain `tesseract` on PATH; the `PYTESSERACT_TESSERACT_CMD` env var
+set by run_botty.bat is NOT a pytesseract feature and was never read. **Fix:** ocr.py applies
+that env var (fallback: PATH, then `C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe`) to
+`pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd` at import.
+
+### Bug 15: NIP loader NameError + dropped rule (2026-06-11)
+**Files:** `src/bnip/utils.py`, `config/default.bnip:1714`
+`find_unique_or_set_base` raised undefined `NipSyntaxError` (→ `BNipSyntaxError`), and the
+underlying trigger was a typo `Shaefershammer` → `Schaefershammer`. 474 expressions now load.
+
+### Bug 16: A5 WP death loop after Pindle returns (2026-06-11)
+**Files:** `src/town/town_manager.py`, `src/town/a5.py`, `src/bot.py`
+After a Pindle return the believed location (`a5_town_start`) is wrong (char is at the stash);
+the direct WP node path failed 5/5, and outer maintenance retries re-ran the full anchor/sweep
+escalation from ever-worse positions (one 10-min wander onto the town wall). A5 templates also
+score marginally low at current D2R settings (stash ~0.51, WP needs ≤0.62).
+**Fix (layered):** per-game WP budget on TownManager (reset in `bot.on_init`): failure 1 = full
+escalation allowed; failure 2 = `quick=True` direct path only; failure 3+ = instant False so the
+caller's fatal path ends the game (~40s fresh spawn beats wandering). Sweep trimmed 10→6 steps,
+WP select timeout 4s, thresholds dropped (WP 0.62; stash 0.60→0.45 retry) — safe because every
+select is gated by a success_func (panel-open / WP-label check).
+
+### Bug 17: kill_diablo fought with Conviction + mid-fight Redemption (2026-06-11)
+**File:** `src/char/paladin/hammerdin.py` `kill_diablo()`
+Conviction doesn't boost magic-damage hammers, and the interleaved 0.8s Redemption casts were
+pure downtime vs a solo boss with no corpses — long fights got the merc killed. **Fix:** attack
+with Concentration (also buffs the merc via party aura), Redemption only once post-kill.
+
+### Bug 18: stash only used personal + 3 shared (2026-06-11)
+**Files:** `src/inventory/personal.py`, `src/inventory/stash.py`
+Gold used raw `select_tab()` clicks with a 4-tab rotation (`% 4`, `> 3`); items already paged.
+D2R 2.7+ has 5 shared pages. **Fix:** gold now navigates via `select_stash_page()` (OCR-verified
+page arrows, layout-proof), rotation `% 6` / stop at `> 5`, shared-first starts at page 5.
+Also fixed a leftover `> 3` bound in the item-stash loop (`personal.py` ~line 185) → `> 5`.
+
+### Bug 19: failed item transfer mistaken for "stash full" → taskkill D2R (2026-06-12)
+**File:** `src/inventory/personal.py` — `stash_all_items()` stash loop
+When `transfer_items("stash")` fails for any reason OTHER than fullness (e.g. the equipped-area
+click guard, a transient UI hiccup), keep items stay in inventory. The loop interpreted ANY
+remaining keep item as "this tab is full", paged through all stash tabs, and on the last page
+called `stash.stash_full()` → `taskkill /f /im D2R.exe` + a false Discord "stash full" alert.
+Surfaced by `tools/testbed.py stash all` (charms in cols 4–9 hit the equipped-area guard, so every
+transfer was cancelled and the loop nuked the game).
+**Fix:** before declaring the tab full, check `is_visible(ScreenObjects.EmptyStashSlot)`. If a slot
+IS free but the transfer still failed, count it as a transfer failure (cap 2) and bail out,
+leaving items in inventory — never advance tabs / call `stash_full()` on a non-full page.
+**Symptom to grep for (before fix):** repeated `transfer_items: inventory unchanged after
+attempting to stash` followed by `Wanted to stash item ... Assumes full stash` across rising page
+numbers, ending in `All stash is full, quitting`.
+**Test tip:** `tools/testbed.py stash` exercises the gold + open-stash path live; add `all` to scan
+all 10 inventory columns and exercise the keep-item transfer branch on existing charms.
+
+### Bug 20: unescaped `)` in an echo killed the conda direct-download path (2026-08-05)
+**File:** `install.bat` — Miniforge install error branch
+`echo ERROR: Miniforge3 installer failed (exit code %errorlevel%).` sat inside a parenthesised
+`if (...)` block. An unescaped `)` inside a block **terminates the block**, leaving `.` as a stray
+token. cmd parses the whole block when it reaches it, so this aborted the script **even when the
+installer succeeded and the branch was never taken** — verified with a minimal repro (unescaped form
+exits 255 on a false condition; escaped form exits 0).
+Effect: the direct-download fallback — the only path on a machine without winget — installed conda
+and then died before creating the `botty` env, leaving the bot unusable.
+**Fix:** escape as `^(exit code %errorlevel%^)`, the convention already used elsewhere in the file
+(`^(fast path^)`).
+**Symptom to grep for:** `. was unexpected at this time.` right after `Installing Miniforge3`.
+
+**Two batch pitfalls that keep recurring in `install.bat` — check both when editing it:**
+1. A `::` comment line **inside** a `( )` block is a parse error. Put comments above the block.
+2. Any unescaped `(` or `)` in an `echo` inside a block breaks it. Escape as `^(` / `^)`.
+
+Audit both across every `.bat` with:
+```
+awk '{ if ($0 ~ /^[ \t]*::/) { if (d>0) print FILENAME": "NR": "$0; next }
+       t=$0; gsub(/\^[()]/,"",t); d += gsub(/\(/,"(",t) - gsub(/\)/,")",t); if (d<0) d=0 }' *.bat
+```
+
+### Bug 21: installer needed admin, so it silently failed on a normal double-click (2026-08-05)
+**Files:** `install.bat`, `src/d2r_image/ocr.py`, `run_botty.bat`
+`winget install` defaulted to **machine scope**, putting conda in `%ProgramData%\miniforge3` — which
+requires elevation. Double-clicking `install.bat` without admin failed silently and conda never
+installed. The same bug applied to the Tesseract install.
+**Fix:** `--scope user` (conda now lands in `%USERPROFILE%\miniforge3`, no admin), plus re-scanning
+for `conda.exe`/`tesseract.exe` after winget instead of trusting its exit code — winget returns
+non-zero when a package is *already installed*. Tesseract additionally falls back to a direct NSIS
+download. `ocr.py` and `run_botty.bat` now also look in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Tesseract-OCR`.
+**Known limitation:** the official Tesseract installer self-elevates and discards `/D=`, so it
+always installs machine-wide and **does require admin/UAC**. There is no per-user Tesseract install.
+Conda has no such limitation.
+**Note:** deleting a conda folder without running its uninstaller leaves stale Add/Remove-Programs
+entries, which make winget treat the next install as an *upgrade* instead of a fresh install.
+
+### Bug 22: tesserocr never loaded → bot silently ran on the slow OCR fallback (2026-08-06)
+**File:** `install.bat` — OCR backend 1 section
+`install.bat` always printed `tesserocr: not available (DLL issue)` and the bot logged
+`OCR backend: pytesseract (fallback)`. pytesseract spawns `tesseract.exe` as a **subprocess per OCR
+call**; tesserocr uses the in-process C++ API, so this was a permanent, silent performance loss on
+every item hover.
+
+**Root cause** (found by walking the PE import table with `pefile`, not by guessing):
+```
+tesserocr.pyd → tesseract52.dll → leptonica-1.78.0.dll → tiff.dll → libdeflate.dll  ← MISSING
+```
+Current conda-forge `libdeflate` (>=1.20) installs the library as **`deflate.dll`**, but the older
+`tiff.dll` from the `tesseract=4.*` stack still imports the previous name **`libdeflate.dll`**.
+Nothing provided that name, so `tiff.dll` failed to load and every DLL above it failed with
+**WinError 126 — "The specified module could not be found"**. That message made it look like a
+missing *module*, which is why earlier fixes chased `os.add_dll_directory` / PATH instead. Adding
+every DLL directory does NOT help; the file genuinely does not exist under that name.
+
+**Fix:** install `libdeflate` explicitly next to `tesseract=4.*`, then copy `deflate.dll` to the
+legacy name when it is absent:
+```bat
+if not exist "%BOTTY_ENV_DIR%\Library\bin\libdeflate.dll" (
+    if exist "%BOTTY_ENV_DIR%\Library\bin\deflate.dll" (
+        copy /y "...\deflate.dll" "...\libdeflate.dll" >nul
+    )
+)
+```
+**Verify:** `install.bat` should print `tesserocr: OK (fast path)` and the bot should log
+`OCR backend: tesserocr (primary)`. Deleting `libdeflate.dll` reproduces the failure exactly.
+
+**Debugging tip for any future "DLL load failed" error:** don't assume it's a search-path problem.
+Walk the real import chain and try loading each DLL directly — WinError 126 names the *importer*,
+never the missing dependency:
+```python
+import pefile, ctypes
+pe = pefile.PE(r"...\some.dll", fast_load=True)
+pe.parse_data_directories(directories=[pefile.DIRECTORY_ENTRY["IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT"]])
+print([e.dll.decode() for e in pe.DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT])
+```

+
+## How to Add a New Run
+
+1. Create `src/run/my_run.py` — class `MyRun` with `name = "run_my_run"`
+2. Add `self.approach_fail_step: str | None = None` in `__init__`
+3. In `approach()`: set `self.approach_fail_step = None` at top, then set step name before every `return False`
+4. Register in `bot.py`: instantiate in `__init__`, add to `self._do_runs`, add state + transition, add `on_run_my_run()` handler
+5. Add route toggle to `config/params.ini` under `[routes]`
+6. Add to `Config().routes_order` list
+
+The `_run_wrapper()` in `bot.py` handles approach failure reporting automatically — it calls `getattr(run_obj, "approach_fail_step", None)` so no changes needed there.
+
+---
+
+## How Town Maintenance Works
+
+Sequence in `bot.py` `on_maintenance()` (called between every run):
+
+1. **town_heal** — drink belt potions if HP < 95%
+2. **inspect_inventory** — open inventory, count items, update TP/ID/key needs
+3. **identify_items** — go to Cain if any `item.need_id` is True
+4. **buy_consumables** — visit vendor for HP/mana pots, TP scrolls, ID scrolls, keys; sell flagged items (fatal if fails twice)
+5. **heal** — visit healer NPC if HP/mana below threshold (alternative to buy_consumables branch)
+6. **stash_items** — put kept items / gold in stash; run transmutes after (fatal if fails twice)
+7. **repair** — repair gear + sell via Halbu (A4) or Larzuk (A5); non-fatal, bot continues
+8. **resurrect_merc** — revive dead merc; non-fatal
+9. **gamble** — buy gamble items if Jamella has stock; non-fatal
+
+`TownManager` methods (`buy_consumables`, `stash`, `repair`, etc.) return `(new_loc, items)` tuples or `(False, False)` on failure. On failure, bot.py retries once from a fallback location before giving up.
+

+## Coordinate Systems (quick ref)
+
+| Name | Origin | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| Monitor | Top-left of first monitor | `screen.grab()` output |
+| Screen | D2R client area top-left | UI detection |
+| Absolute | Character at screen center | Pathing targets |
+| Relative | Template match position | NPC interaction |
+
+Convert via `screen.py`: `convert_monitor_to_screen()`, `convert_screen_to_abs()`, `convert_abs_to_monitor()`, `convert_screen_to_monitor()`.
+
+---
+
+## Config System
+
+Singleton `Config()` merges in priority order: `custom.ini` > `params.ini` > `game.ini` > `shop.ini` > `transmute.ini`. First instantiation loads; subsequent calls return the same object. User overrides go in `custom.ini` (not tracked in git).
+
+Key sections in `params.ini`:
+- `[char]` — character type, keybinds, difficulty, runs_per_repair, etc.
+- `[general]` — discord webhook, auto_login, info_screenshots, difficulty
+- `[routes]` — boolean flags for each run (run_diablo=1, run_pindle=1, etc.)
+- `[routes_order]` — execution order
+
+---
+
+## Discord Notifications
+
+`src/messages/messenger.py` wraps a Discord webhook. Error events are sent via `_save_error_screenshot(run_name, reason)` in `bot.py`, which:
+1. Saves a timestamped screenshot to `log/screenshots/error/`
+2. Calls `messenger.send_error(run_name, reason, screenshot_path)` if `discord_log_errors=1`
+
+Enable in `params.ini`:
+```ini
+discord_log_errors=1
+discord_hook_url=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Threading Safety Rules
+
+- **Never call `input_layer` from the health_manager or death_manager threads.** Those threads only read screen state. All input goes through the bot thread.
+- **`set_panel_check_paused(True)`** must be called before opening any UI panel (vendor, stash, WP). Forgetting it causes health_manager to misread HP through the panel overlay and false-chicken.
+- **`_stash_mutex`** on `Bot` must be held during transmutes (stash is open). Acquired in `on_maintenance()` after stash opens.
+
+---
+
+## Debugging Tips
+
+**Template match failures** — Add `save_debug=True` to `template_finder.search_and_wait(...)` to dump the failed match image to `log/screenshots/debug/`.
+
+**Path node failures** — `pather.py` traverse failures usually mean the bot is in the wrong position. Check the log for the node sequence — the last successful node before the failure shows where the bot got lost.
+
+**Verify D2R window** — `screen.find_and_set_window_position(force=True)` re-detects the window. Call this before template searches in flaky areas (Pindle portal approach does this).
+
+**Adding step tracking to a new failure point** — just set `self.approach_fail_step = "descriptive_name"` before `return False`. No other wiring needed.

+D2R Asset Extractor
+
+Runs on your local Windows machine. Captures D2R, saves screenshot.
+You then send the screenshot to the AI agent for analysis.
+AI returns bounding boxes -> run crop.py to extract PNGs.
+
+Usage:
+  Run:    python asset_extractor.py
+  F1:     Capture D2R screen -> screenshots/debug/latest.png
+  F2:     Crop entities from screenshots/debug/latest_annotations.json
+  F3:     List existing assets
+  F12:    Exit
+
+Workflow:
+  1. Run this script in the botty conda env
+  2. F1 to capture
+  3. Tell your AI agent to analyze screenshots/debug/latest.png
+  4. AI writes screenshots/debug/latest_annotations.json with bounding boxes
+  5. F2 to crop entities into assets/enemies/ or assets/npc/

+# Dev Docu
+
+## Dependencies
+- Install [Miniforge](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge) (recommended over Miniconda for conda-forge packages). Check "Add to PATH" during installation.
+  - Alternatively, [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) works too.
+- Install [git](https://gitforwindows.org/)
+
+## Getting started
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Hoblirm/botty.git
+cd botty
+
+# Create the conda environment (installs all Python deps + tesserocr with tesseract)
+# Windows 10:
+conda env create -f environment-win10.yml
+# Windows 11:
+conda env create -f environment-win11.yml
+
+# Activate
+conda activate botty
+
+# Optional pip profile after the conda env exists:
+# Windows 10:
+python -m pip install -r requirements-win10.txt
+# Windows 11:
+python -m pip install -r requirements-win11.txt
+
+# Run
+python src/main.py
+```
+
+`install.bat` detects Windows 10 vs Windows 11 and installs the matching
+environment and requirements profiles automatically. Botty runtime detection
+lives in `src/utils/os_detect.py`; startup logs show the selected profile and
+mouse mode.
+
+### PowerShell users
+```powershell
+conda init powershell  # One time setup
+conda activate botty
+python src/main.py
+```
+
+### No conda? Quick setup
+If you don't want to use conda, you can install dependencies with pip, but `tesserocr`
+requires the tesseract C library which is easiest to get via conda. See `environment.yml`
+for the full dependency list.
+
+## Running with the launcher
+A `run_botty.bat` file is provided in the project root. It auto-detects the conda
+environment and launches the bot. You can also run manually:
+```cmd
+conda activate botty
+cd C:\path\to\botty
+python src\main.py
+```
+
+## Tests
+All automated tests can be found within the **/test/*** folder. The file and folder structure is supposed to mimic the src folder.
+```bash
+conda activate botty
+# To run all tests: (-s to see stdout, -v for verbose)
+pytest -s -v
+# To see std output:
+# To run a specific test:
+pytest test/smoke_test.py
+```
+To test single files / routines, most files also can be executed separately. E.g. running `python src/pickit.py` -> going to d2r window -> throw stuff on the groudn -> press f11, will test the pickit.
+
+## Adding Items
+To add items you can check the **assets/items** folder. Screenshot whatever you want to pick up in the same way (all settings must be as if you ran the bot). Then add the filename to the param.ini [items] section (e.g. if boots_rare.png add boots_rare=1)
+
+## Folder Structure
+**/**</br>
+The root contains docu, param files and development specific stuff such as .gitignore</br>
+
+**assets**</br>
+Contains all data for the project that is not source code</br>
+**assets/docs**</br>
+Images you can see in the .md files and logos</br>
+**assets/items**</br>
+Screenshot of item names that should be picked up. The filename must then be added to the param.ini</br>
+**assets/npc**</br>
+Templates of npcs in different poses</br>
+**assets/templates**</br>
+Templates for different UIs and key points. Also contains folders of "pathes" that were generated with the utils/node_creator.py</br>
+
+**src**</br>
+All python source files go here</br>
+**src/char**</br>
+Want to implement a new char or build. Check this folder out. You will have to inherit from IChar and go from there</br>
+**src/char**</br>
+Utilities functions and scripts e.g. for easily creating templates to traverse nodes and automatically generate code for it</br>
+
+## Code routine
+main.py contains the main() function and is the entry point for botty. It will start 3 threads: death monitoring (death_manager.py), health monitoring (health_manager.py) and the bot (bot.py) itself. Whenever the two monitors either detect a player's death or chicken out of the game, the bot thread will be killed and restarted.</br>
+In bot.py is a state machine in its core an executes different actions based on the current state. The goal is to remove as much implementation details as possible from bot.py and "hide" them in different manager classes (e.g. pickit.py, pather.py, npc_manager.py, etc.)
+
+## State Diagram
+The core logic of the bot is determined by a state machine with these states and transations. The bot.py which contains all of the transitions should have little implementation code which should be hidden as much as possible in the "manager" classes.
+<img src="assets/docs/state_diagram.png" width="550"/>
+
+## Coordinate System
+There are different coordinate systems used and I tried my best to add these to the variable names.</br>
+**Monitor**: It will have the origin at the top left of the first monitor</br>
+**Screen**: Same as monitor for single monitor setups, otherwise origin at top left of the screen </br>
+**Absolute**: Has its origin at the center of the screen, thus at the footpoint of your char </br>
+**Relative**: Relative coordinates as the name suggest are relative to something. It is mostly used to express relative coordinates in relation to a tempalte that is found </br>
+<img src="assets/docs/coordinate_systems.png" width="550"/>
+
+## Release process
+If you installed your miniconda in another location you will of course have ot change it for that one.
+```bash
+# Adapt new version with x.x.x, build .exe and bundeling all needed resource into one folder
+python build.py x.x.x
+```
+For changelog run: `git log <PREVIOUS_TAG>..HEAD --oneline --decorate`

+# Auto Skill + Attribute Allocation Plan
+
+## Goal
+Add an optional system that automatically assigns:
+- skill points
+- attribute points
+
+based on:
+- active character profile (`blizz_sorc`, `fohdin`, `hammerdin`, etc.)
+- current character level
+
+without breaking existing manual setups.
+
+## Scope
+- Planning and architecture for Botty repo.
+- No forced behavior changes: feature must be opt-in.
+
+## Requirements
+1. Determine current level reliably at runtime.
+2. Select a build template by character profile.
+3. Apply points safely only when unspent points exist.
+4. Record every allocation in logs/events for audit/replay.
+5. Abort safely on uncertainty (wrong UI state, OCR mismatch, missing templates).
+
+## Current Level Detection Strategy
+
+### Primary path
+Use `player_bar.get_experience()` (already used in `game_stats.log_exp`) to derive level from XP table.
+
+### Secondary fallback
+Open character panel (`C`) and OCR level/name line directly from upper-left panel region.
+
+### Tertiary fallback
+If OCR fails repeatedly:
+- keep previous known good level for session,
+- do **not** allocate points until confidence is restored.
+
+### Confidence rules
+- Require two consistent reads before first allocation in a session.
+- Reject impossible jumps (e.g., +5 levels at once).
+- Persist `last_known_level` in session stats snapshot.
+
+## Build Template Model
+
+Add config-backed build templates, e.g.:
+- `config/auto_builds/blizz_sorc.ini`
+- `config/auto_builds/hammerdin.ini`
+- `config/auto_builds/fohdin.ini`
+
+Each template defines per-level targets:
+- desired skill totals by level milestone
+- desired attribute distribution (str/dex/vit/ene)
+
+Example concept:
+- Level 1-17: early progression targets
+- Level 18-29: mid-game unlock path
+- Level 30+: core skill maxing order
+
+## Runtime Flow
+1. Enter town and open character/skill UI.
+2. Detect level and unspent points.
+3. Load template for `Config().char["type"]`.
+4. Compute delta between current allocation and target-at-level.
+5. Apply points stepwise:
+   - attributes first (optional toggle),
+   - skills second.
+6. Verify post-apply state.
+7. Log allocation summary and persist snapshot.
+
+## Safety Guards
+- Only run in town.
+- Require stash/vendor windows closed.
+- Hard cap per cycle (e.g., max 10 clicks per stat/skill group).
+- On mismatch/timeout:
+  - stop allocation immediately,
+  - screenshot + structured error event,
+  - continue bot without crashing.
+
+## Config Additions (Planned)
+In `[char]` or new `[auto_build]` section:
+- `auto_assign_skills=0/1`
+- `auto_assign_attributes=0/1`
+- `auto_build_profile=` (defaults to `char.type`)
+- `auto_build_check_every_x_games=`
+- `auto_build_safe_mode=1` (extra verification)
+
+## Logging / Telemetry
+Add structured events:
+- `auto_build_check_started`
+- `auto_build_level_detected`
+- `auto_build_points_detected`
+- `auto_build_applied`
+- `auto_build_skipped`
+- `auto_build_error`
+
+Include:
+- profile
+- level
+- points spent
+- before/after snapshots
+
+## UI / Input Dependencies
+Need stable template references for:
+- character panel level region
+- unspent attribute points indicator
+- unspent skill points indicator
+- individual plus-buttons for stats/skills
+
+## Test Plan
+1. Unit tests:
+   - level-to-target mapping
+   - delta computation
+   - guard conditions
+2. Integration dry-run mode:
+   - compute and log planned actions without clicking.
+3. Live smoke tests per profile:
+   - `blizz_sorc`, `hammerdin`, `fohdin`
+4. Regression:
+   - ensure normal runs unaffected with feature disabled.
+
+## Inputs Needed From You
+1. Screenshots for each supported class at:
+   - character panel open,
+   - skill tree open,
+   - visible unspent points.
+2. Preferred leveling templates:
+   - exact skill priority order by level range.
+   - attribute rules (e.g., str to gear breakpoint, then vit).
+3. Whether respec-aware logic is needed in v1.
+
+## Rollout Phases
+1. Phase 1: Level detection + dry-run planner only.
+2. Phase 2: Attribute auto-assign (safer, fewer UI branches).
+3. Phase 3: Skill auto-assign with full verification.
+4. Phase 4: Expanded profile templates + docs.
+
+## Definition of Done
+- Feature is opt-in and stable for `blizz_sorc`, `hammerdin`, `fohdin`.
+- Level detection is reliable with fallback behavior.
+- No crash on detection/allocation failure.
+- Full logs available for every auto-allocation decision.

+
+## Priority 1: Nihlathak approach fails
+
+### Finding
+
+The Nihlathak route has three brittle points:
+
+1. `approach()` returns success immediately after clicking the waypoint and never verifies that the Halls of Pain actually loaded.
+2. Level 1 layout detection has no fallback if `NI1_A`, `NI1_B`, or `NI1_C` is stale.
+3. `traverse_nodes_fixed()` always returns `True`, so a bad static path in `config/game.ini` cannot be detected until the stairs click times out.
+
+The `config/game.ini` Nihlathak path keys are present:
+
+```ini
+ni1_a=871,472, 1205,600, 1162,600, 1169,584, 1169,584, 1232,213, 1221,237, 1164,228, 1145,572, 1146,547, 1223,185
+ni1_b=23,187, 23,187, 23,187, 23,187, 12,192, 10,192, 10,190, 123,70, 378,120
+ni1_c=118,500, 158,602, 187,577, 217,563, 184,551, 70,413, 127,240, 154,493, 197,504, 218,545, 83,246, 45,526, 300,380
+```
+
+So the immediate code fix is not "add missing keys"; it is to verify waypoint/area entry and reduce the failure blast radius when stale templates or coordinates are encountered.
+
+### Exact code that needs to change
+
+`src/run/nihlathak.py`:
+
+```python
+        wait(0.4)
+        if waypoint.use_wp("Halls of Pain"): # use Halls of Pain Waypoint (5th in A5)
+            return Location.A5_NIHLATHAK_START
+        return False
+```
+
+```python
+        template_match = template_finder.search_and_wait(["NI1_A", "NI1_B", "NI1_C"], threshold=0.65, timeout=20)
+        if not template_match.valid:
+            return False
+```
+
+```python
+        self._pather.traverse_nodes_fixed(template_match.name.lower(), self._char)
+```
+
+### Proposed fix
+
+Replace the waypoint block with a verified load:
+
+```python
+        wait(0.4)
+        if not waypoint.use_wp("Halls of Pain"):
+            return False
+        if not template_finder.search_and_wait(["NI1_A", "NI1_B", "NI1_C"], threshold=0.55, timeout=8).valid:
+            Logger.error("Nihlathak approach: waypoint click did not land in Halls of Pain")
+            return False
+        return Location.A5_NIHLATHAK_START
+```
+
+Replace layout detection and static path traversal with a lower-threshold retry and an explicit path result check:
+
+```python
+        template_match = template_finder.search_and_wait(["NI1_A", "NI1_B", "NI1_C"], threshold=0.65, timeout=20)
+        if not template_match.valid:
+            Logger.warning("Nihlathak: strict NI1 layout detection failed, retrying with grayscale/lower threshold")
+            template_match = template_finder.search_and_wait(
+                ["NI1_A", "NI1_B", "NI1_C"],
+                threshold=0.55,
+                best_match=True,
+                timeout=6,
+                use_grayscale=True,
+            )
+        if not template_match.valid:
+            return False
+```
+
+```python
+        if not self._pather.traverse_nodes_fixed(template_match.name.lower(), self._char):
+            Logger.error(f"Nihlathak: failed static route {template_match.name.lower()}")
+            return False
+```
+
+If `search_and_wait()` does not support `use_grayscale` in this repo version, use this compatible form instead:
+
+```python
+        if not template_match.valid:
+            start = time.time()
+            while time.time() - start < 6:
+                template_match = template_finder.search(
+                    ["NI1_A", "NI1_B", "NI1_C"],
+                    grab(),
+                    threshold=0.55,
+                    best_match=True,
+                    use_grayscale=True,
+                )
+                if template_match.valid:
+                    break
+                wait(0.2)
+```
+
+That compatible form also needs imports:
+
+```python
+import time
+from screen import grab, convert_abs_to_monitor
+```
+
+### Why it will work
+
+This turns the approach from "clicked the waypoint, assume success" into "clicked the waypoint, confirm an NI1 layout is visible." If the waypoint interaction fails or lands somewhere unexpected, the run fails immediately instead of burning 600+ seconds.
+
+The lower-threshold/grayscale retry handles the likely stale-template case without permanently weakening the first pass. The strict threshold still wins when templates are good; the fallback only runs when the current behavior would fail.
+
+The static route check makes future changes safer. `traverse_nodes_fixed()` currently returns `True`, but guarding the call is still correct because it protects this runner if path traversal later gains real validation.
+
+Fresh templates and re-recorded `ni1_*` coordinates are still required if the fallback logs low-confidence matches or reaches the wrong stairs side. The code fix limits total game loss and gives a useful failure point.
+
+## Priority 2: Vendor trade button not found
+
+### Finding
+
+The failure is not in `src/inventory/vendor.py`; that file buys items after the vendor panel is already open. The failing log comes from `src/npc_manager.py`:
+
+```python
+Logger.error(f"Could not find {action_btn_key} btn. Should not happen! Continue...")
+```
+
+The current town code also returns a vendor location even if pressing the trade button failed. For A5 Malah:
+
+```python
+    def open_trade_menu(self, curr_loc: Location) -> Location | bool:
+        if not self._pather.traverse_nodes((curr_loc, Location.A5_MALAH), self._char, force_move=True): return False
+        if open_npc_menu(Npc.MALAH):
+            press_npc_btn(Npc.MALAH, "trade")
+            return Location.A5_MALAH
+        return False
+```
+
+And `press_npc_btn()` does not return `True` on success:
+
+```python
+    if res.valid:
+        mouse.move(*res.center_monitor, randomize=3, delay_factor=[1.0, 1.5])
+        wait(0.2, 0.4)
+        mouse.click(button="left")
+        wait(0.04, 0.08)
+        center_mouse()
+    else:
+        Logger.error(f"Could not find {action_btn_key} btn. Should not happen! Continue...")
+        keyboard.send("esc")
+```
+
+The template threshold is also hard-coded very high for white and blue text:
+
+```python
+        filtered_inp_w, 0.85, roi=Config().ui_roi["cut_skill_bar"]
+```
+
+### Exact code that needs to change
+
+`src/npc_manager.py`, `press_npc_btn()` needs to return a boolean and use a retry/fallback. A5/A1/A4 trade functions need to check that boolean or verify the vendor panel.
+
+### Proposed fix
+
+Replace `press_npc_btn()` with:
+
+```python
+def press_npc_btn(npc_key: Npc, action_btn_key: str) -> bool:
+    global npcs
+    for threshold in (0.85, 0.78):
+        img = grab()
+        img = escape_dialogue(img)
+        _, filtered_inp_w = color_filter(img, Config().colors["white"])
+        res = template_finder.search(
+            npcs[npc_key]["action_btns"][action_btn_key]["white"],
+            filtered_inp_w,
+            threshold,
+            roi=Config().ui_roi["cut_skill_bar"],
+        )
+        if not res.valid and "blue" in npcs[npc_key]["action_btns"][action_btn_key]:
+            _, filtered_inp_b = color_filter(img, Config().colors["blue"])
+            res = template_finder.search(
+                npcs[npc_key]["action_btns"][action_btn_key]["blue"],
+                filtered_inp_b,
+                threshold,
+                roi=Config().ui_roi["cut_skill_bar"],
+            )
+        if not res.valid:
+            res = template_finder.search(

+                use_grayscale=True,

+            wait(0.2, 0.4)
+            mouse.click(button="left")
+            wait(0.2, 0.3)
+            center_mouse()
+            return True
+
+    if "red" in npcs[npc_key]["action_btns"][action_btn_key]:

+        _, filtered_inp_r = color_filter(img, Config().colors["red"])
+        res = template_finder.search(
+            npcs[npc_key]["action_btns"][action_btn_key]["red"],
+            filtered_inp_r,
+            0.78,

+        )
+        if res.valid:
+            Logger.warning(f"Cannot afford {action_btn_key} (red button detected). Skipping...")
+            keyboard.send("esc")
+            wait(0.3)
+            return False
+
+    Logger.error(f"Could not find {action_btn_key} btn. Should not happen! Continue...")
+    keyboard.send("esc")
+    return False
+```
+
+Then change A5 Malah trade from:
+
+```python
+        if open_npc_menu(Npc.MALAH):
+            press_npc_btn(Npc.MALAH, "trade")
+            return Location.A5_MALAH
+        return False
+```
+
+to:
+
+```python
+        if open_npc_menu(Npc.MALAH):
+            if press_npc_btn(Npc.MALAH, "trade") and is_visible(ScreenObjects.GoldBtnVendor):
+                return Location.A5_MALAH
+        return False
+```
+
+Make the same pattern in `src/town/a1.py`:
+
+```python
+        if open_npc_menu(Npc.AKARA):
+            if press_npc_btn(Npc.AKARA, "trade") and is_visible(ScreenObjects.GoldBtnVendor):
+                return Location.A1_AKARA
+        return False
+```
+
+and in `src/town/a4.py`:
+
+```python
+        if open_npc_menu(Npc.JAMELLA):
+            if press_npc_btn(Npc.JAMELLA, "trade") and is_visible(ScreenObjects.GoldBtnVendor):
+                return Location.A4_JAMELLA
+        return False
+```
+
+### Why it will work
+
+The bot currently proceeds as if trade opened even when the button was not clicked. Returning `False` stops `TownManager.buy_consumables()` at the correct point:
+
+```python
+new_loc = self._acts[curr_act].open_trade_menu(curr_loc)
+if not (new_loc and common.wait_for_left_inventory()): return False, items
+```
+
+The fallback search keeps the current exact template behavior first, then retries with a slightly lower threshold and grayscale. That covers text color/anti-aliasing differences without making every match permissive.
+
+Verifying `ScreenObjects.GoldBtnVendor` makes the action result state-based. Even if the template click returns true, the caller only continues when the vendor panel is actually open.
+
+Fresh `TRADE` / `TRADE_BLUE` templates are still recommended, but this code fix prevents false success and reduces sensitivity to minor UI rendering differences.
+
+## Priority 3: Stash detection fails
+
+### Finding
+
+The stash failures are in act-specific methods, not in `TownManager.stash()` itself. A1 and A5 use default `IChar.select_by_template()` threshold `0.68`:
+
+```python
+if not self._char.select_by_template(["A1_TOWN_0"], stash_is_open_func):
+    return False
+```
+
+```python
+if not self._char.select_by_template(["A5_STASH", "A5_STASH_2"], stash_is_open_func, telekinesis=True):
+    return False
+```
+
+The common selector only closes the waypoint menu for A5 stash templates:
+
+```python
+if type(template_type) == list and "A5_STASH" in template_type:
+    # sometimes waypoint is opened and stash not found because of that, check for that
+    if is_visible(ScreenObjects.WaypointLabel):
+        keyboard.send("esc")
+```
+
+So A1 stash can fail when a waypoint/dialog is left open, and both A1/A5 have no lower-threshold retry.
+
+### Exact code that needs to change
+
+`src/town/a1.py`:
+
+```python
+        if not self._char.select_by_template(["A1_TOWN_0"], stash_is_open_func):
+            return False
+```
+
+`src/town/a5.py`:
+
+```python
+        if not self._char.select_by_template(["A5_STASH", "A5_STASH_2"], stash_is_open_func, telekinesis=True):
+            return False
+```
+
+`src/char/i_char.py`:
+
+```python
+        if type(template_type) == list and "A5_STASH" in template_type:
+            # sometimes waypoint is opened and stash not found because of that, check for that
+            if is_visible(ScreenObjects.WaypointLabel):
+                keyboard.send("esc")
+```
+
+### Proposed fix
+
+Change the selector guard in `src/char/i_char.py` to handle all stash templates:
+
+```python
+        templates = template_type if isinstance(template_type, list) else [template_type]
+        if any(template in ["A1_TOWN_0", "A5_STASH", "A5_STASH_2"] for template in templates):
+            # sometimes waypoint is opened and stash not found because of that, check for that
+            if is_visible(ScreenObjects.WaypointLabel):
+                keyboard.send("esc")
+                wait(0.2, 0.3)
+```
+
+Change A1 stash to retry lower after the default threshold fails:
+
+```python
+        if not self._char.select_by_template(["A1_TOWN_0"], stash_is_open_func, threshold=0.68, timeout=4.0):
+            Logger.warning("A1 stash: default threshold failed, retrying with lower threshold")
+            if not self._char.select_by_template(["A1_TOWN_0"], stash_is_open_func, threshold=0.58, timeout=4.0):
+                return False
+```
+
+Change A5 stash similarly:
+
+```python
+        if not self._char.select_by_template(["A5_STASH", "A5_STASH_2"], stash_is_open_func, threshold=0.68, timeout=4.0, telekinesis=True):
+            Logger.warning("A5 stash: default threshold failed, retrying with lower threshold")
+            if not self._char.select_by_template(["A5_STASH", "A5_STASH_2"], stash_is_open_func, threshold=0.58, timeout=4.0, telekinesis=True):
+                return False
+```
+
+### Why it will work
+
+The default threshold remains unchanged for normal cases. The lower threshold only runs after a specific stash attempt fails, which narrows the risk of false-positive clicks.
+
+Closing the waypoint menu for A1 and A5 prevents stale UI overlays from blocking the stash templates. This directly addresses the logged sequence where town/stash templates are not found after other town interactions.
+
+The success function already checks for stash/inventory gold buttons:
+
+```python
+found = is_visible(ScreenObjects.GoldBtnInventory, img)
+found |= is_visible(ScreenObjects.GoldBtnStash, img)
+```
+
+That means a lower-threshold click must still produce the actual stash UI to count as success.
+
+Fresh `A1_TOWN_0`, `A5_STASH`, and `A5_STASH_2` templates should still be captured if logs continue to show low match confidence. The code change makes the current templates less brittle and prevents open UI overlays from causing avoidable failures.
+
+## Priority 4: CTA weapon switch fails
+
+### Finding
+
+The CTA code is in `src/char/i_char.py`. It depends on `Config().char["weapon_switch"]`, which comes from `config/params.ini`, not `config/game.ini`:
+
+```ini
+weapon_switch=w
+battle_orders=f6
+battle_command=f5
+```
+
+The current CTA routine has two reliability problems:
+
+1. It invalidates active-skill cache implicitly by switching weapons but does not reset `_active_skill`.
+2. It verifies the switch back by comparing a screenshot of the previous right-skill icon. That can fail when the same skill exists on both swaps, when the icon is visually similar, or when the UI updates slightly late.
+
+Current code:
+
+```python
+        while time.time() - start < 4:
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["weapon_switch"])
+            wait(0.4, 0.45)
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["battle_command"])
+            wait(0.2, 0.3)
+            if skills.is_right_skill_selected(["BC", "BO"]):
+                switch_sucess = True
+                break
+            else:
+                Logger.warning("Failed to find Battle Command, swapping weapons again.")
+```
+
+```python
+        while time.time() - start < 4:
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["weapon_switch"])
+            wait(0.4, 0.45)
+            skill_after = cut_roi(grab(), Config().ui_roi["skill_right"])
+            _, max_val, _, _ = cv2.minMaxLoc(cv2.matchTemplate(skill_after, skill_before, cv2.TM_CCOEFF_NORMED))
+            if max_val > 0.8:
+                switch_sucess = True
+                break
+            else:
+                Logger.warning("Failed to switch weapon, try again")
+                wait(0.5)
+        return switch_sucess
+```
+
+### Exact code that needs to change
+
+Add a helper inside `IChar` and use it whenever the weapon switch key is sent in `_pre_buff_cta()`.
+
+### Proposed fix
+
+Add this method to `IChar`:
+
+```python
+    def _weapon_switch(self):
+        keyboard.send(Config().char["weapon_switch"])
+        self._set_active_skill("left", "")
+        self._set_active_skill("right", "")
+        wait(0.55, 0.65)
+```
+
+Change the first CTA-side check from:
+
+```python
+        if skills.is_right_skill_selected(["BC", "BO"]):
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["weapon_switch"])
+            wait(0.4, 0.45)
+```
+
+to:
+
+```python
+        if skills.is_right_skill_selected(["BC", "BO"]):
+            self._weapon_switch()
+```
+
+Change the switch-to-CTA loop from:
+
+```python
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["weapon_switch"])
+            wait(0.4, 0.45)
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["battle_command"])
+```
+
+to:
+
+```python
+            self._weapon_switch()
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["battle_command"])
+```
+
+Change the switch-back loop from:
+
+```python
+            keyboard.send(Config().char["weapon_switch"])
+            wait(0.4, 0.45)
+            skill_after = cut_roi(grab(), Config().ui_roi["skill_right"])
+            _, max_val, _, _ = cv2.minMaxLoc(cv2.matchTemplate(skill_after, skill_before, cv2.TM_CCOEFF_NORMED))
+            if max_val > 0.8:
+                switch_sucess = True
+                break
+            else:
+                Logger.warning("Failed to switch weapon, try again")
+                wait(0.5)
+```
+
+to:
+
+```python
+            self._weapon_switch()
+            if not skills.is_right_skill_selected(["BC", "BO"]):
+                switch_sucess = True
+                break
+            skill_after = cut_roi(grab(), Config().ui_roi["skill_right"])
+            _, max_val, _, _ = cv2.minMaxLoc(cv2.matchTemplate(skill_after, skill_before, cv2.TM_CCOEFF_NORMED))
+            if max_val > 0.8:
+                switch_sucess = True
+                break
+            Logger.warning("Failed to switch weapon, try again")
+            wait(0.5)
+```
+
+Also fix the spelling while touching this code:
+
+```python
+switch_success = False
+```
+
+instead of:
+
+```python
+switch_sucess = False
+```
+
+### Why it will work
+
+Resetting `_active_skill` after weapon swap prevents `_select_skill()` from skipping a hotkey press because it thinks the old right skill is still selected. Weapon swap changes the available skill bar, so the cache is no longer trustworthy.
+
+The longer wait gives D2R more time to update the skill icon and weapon state before validation. The current 0.4 second delay is close to the UI transition timing and is likely why the failure is intermittent.
+
+The switch-back validation now accepts the most direct state: the right skill is no longer Battle Command/Battle Orders. The old image comparison remains as a fallback, so this still handles cases where BC/BO detection briefly lags.
+
+The configured key should be checked in `config/params.ini`, not `config/game.ini`. If the user's actual D2R weapon switch key is Caps Lock, then this line must change:
+
+```ini
+weapon_switch=w
+```
+
+to:
+
+```ini
+weapon_switch=capslock
+```
+
+Only do that if the in-game key binding is actually Caps Lock; otherwise leave it as `w`.

+# d2jsp Semi-Automated Scraping Guide
+
+Due to Cloudflare's aggressive bot protection, fully automated scraping is currently restricted. This project uses a **Semi-Automated (Offline) Workflow** that leverages your authenticated browser session to safely collect market data.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1.  **Python Dependencies:** Ensure `keyboard` and `requests` are installed (included in `requirements.txt`).
+2.  **Browser:** Google Chrome is recommended.
+3.  **Authentication:** Be logged into [forums.d2jsp.org](https://forums.d2jsp.org/) in your browser.
+
+---
+
+## The Workflow
+
+### 1. Initial Directory Setup
+Before running the automation, you must set the default "Save As" path in your browser:
+1.  Open any topic on d2jsp.
+2.  Press `Ctrl + S`.
+3.  Navigate to your bot folder: `data/d2jsp_pages/`.
+4.  Save the file. Your browser will now remember this location as the default.
+
+### 2. Collect Topic URLs
+If you don't have a fresh list of URLs, run the collector on a saved forum listing page:
+```powershell
+python tools/d2jsp_topic_collector.py --offline-dir data/d2jsp_pages --out data/d2jsp_topic_urls.txt
+```
+
+### 3. Run Browser Automation
+This script will open the first 20 topics from your list, wait for Cloudflare to pass, and simulate the save command.
+```powershell
+python tools/browser_auto_save.py
+```
+**Important:** 
+*   Keep your browser as the active window.
+*   Do not move the mouse or type while the script is running.
+*   It will automatically `Ctrl + S` -> `Enter` -> `Ctrl + W` for each tab.
+
+### 4. Generate Price Estimates
+Once the HTML files are saved in `data/d2jsp_pages/`, run the offline scraper to update your bot's configuration:
+```powershell
+python tools/fg_market_scraper.py --ladder-start-date 2026-05-20 --offline-dir data/d2jsp_pages --out config/fg_daily_estimates.json
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Cloudflare "Just a Moment" Loop
+If the automation is too fast and hits a "Just a Moment" screen that doesn't resolve:
+1.  Increase the `time.sleep(8)` value in `tools/browser_auto_save.py`.
+2.  Manually solve one challenge in the browser to "warm up" the IP clearance.
+
+### Files Not Saving to Correct Folder
+If files are saving to your "Downloads" folder instead of `data/d2jsp_pages`, the browser's default path was reset. Repeat **Step 1** to fix it.
+
+### Date Parsing Errors
+If the scraper reports 0 topics scanned or dates are missing, ensure your browser language isn't translating the page, as the scraper expects English month names (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.).

+# Botty Fix Plan — 2026-06-05
+
+## Symptoms (from today's logs)
+
+- 4 sessions today: 31 + 1 + 9 + 6 games = 47 games total
+- 51 deaths across all sessions
+- 0 valuable items found (only charms, jewels, gold)
+- Nihlathak run fails every time, ending entire games
+- Vendor trade button never found (can't buy potions)
+- Stash never opens (can't stash items)
+- CTA weapon switch fails occasionally
+
+---
+
+## Priority 1: Nihlathak approach fails (game-ending)
+
+**Error:** `Approach failed for run_nihlathak` — ends game after 600-650s
+**Impact:** 3+ games ended per session
+
+**Root cause:** Teleport activation times out, bot can't reach Nihlathak
+**Fix:**
+- Check `config/game.ini` for Nihlathak coordinates (`a5_nihlathak_*`)
+- Likely missing or stale path nodes
+- Re-record path with `node_recorder.py`
+- May need fresh template images for Nihlathak area
+
+**Files to check:**
+- `config/game.ini` (Nihlathak section)
+- `src/run/nihlathak.py`
+- `assets/templates/nihlathak/`
+
+---
+
+## Priority 2: Vendor trade button not found
+
+**Error:** `Could not find trade btn. Should not happen!`
+**Impact:** Can't buy potions every town return
+
+**Root cause:** Trade button template outdated or offset wrong for Hell difficulty UI
+**Fix:**
+- Take fresh screenshot of vendor trade window
+- Update trade button template in `assets/templates/`
+- Check if trade button position shifted between Normal/Nightmare/Hell
+
+**Files to check:**
+- `assets/templates/` (trade button template)
+- `src/` (vendor interaction code — search for "trade btn")
+
+---
+
+## Priority 3: Stash detection fails
+
+**Error:** `select_by_template: could not find ['A1_TOWN_0']` then `['A5_STASH', 'A5_STASH_2']`
+**Impact:** Can't stash items, inventory fills with junk
+
+**Root cause:** Stash template confidence threshold too high or template outdated
+**Fix:**
+- Take fresh screenshot of stash UI in Hell difficulty
+- Update A1_TOWN_0, A5_STASH, A5_STASH_2 templates
+- Consider lowering confidence threshold (currently 0.68)
+
+**Files to check:**
+- `assets/templates/a1_town/`
+- `assets/templates/a5_stash/`
+- Template matching threshold in code
+
+---
+
+## Priority 4: CTA weapon switch fails
+
+**Error:** `_pre_buff_cta: switch to CTA slot failed — retrying`
+**Impact:** Occasional, bot retries
+
+**Root cause:** Weapon switch key or template unreliable
+**Fix:**
+- Verify weapon switch key binding (capslock per memory)
+- Check CTA slot detection template
+- May need more robust retry logic
+
+**Files to check:**
+- `src/` (search for `_pre_buff_cta`)
+- `config/` (weapon_switch key)
+
+---
+
+## Approach
+
+All four issues are template/coordinate problems — stale screenshots or wrong positions.
+Fix pattern: screenshot current game UI at those locations, update templates.
+
+Do in order: Nihlathak > vendor > stash > CTA.

+# Hermes Takeover Guide
+
+Practical handoff for continuing Botty development. Read every section before touching code — the trap patterns section alone will save you hours.
+
+---
+
+## 1) Working model
+
+- Treat Botty as a **state machine app** with side effects across D2R UI automation, OCR parsing, inventory/sell/stash routines, and messaging (Discord/webhooks).
+- Prefer **small, production-safe patches** over broad refactors.
+- Prioritize runtime stability: avoid failing full runs because one subsystem is flaky.
+- **Always reproduce from logs first** — most bugs leave a clear trail.
+
+---
+
+## 2) Daily workflow
+
+1. Get fresh logs:
+   - `log/log.txt`
+   - `log/stats/events_*.jsonl`
+   - `log/stats/stats_*.log`
+2. Confirm failure path in code with `rg`.
+3. Patch narrowly with targeted edits.
+4. Validate:
+   - `python -m compileall <changed files>`
+   - targeted pytest where available
+5. Commit with a clear, single-purpose message.
+
+---
+
+## 3) Core debug commands
+
+From repo root (PowerShell):
+
+```powershell
+# Tail errors/warnings
+rg -n "ERROR|WARNING|Failed|chicken|exception" log/log.txt | tail -50
+
+# Last 200 log lines
+Get-Content log/log.txt | Select-Object -Last 200
+
+# Search source code
+rg -n "<keyword>" src/
+
+# Compile check after edits
+python -m compileall src/health_manager.py src/item/pickit.py
+
+# Config smoke test (confirm a key's resolved value)
+python -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'src'); from config import Config; print(Config().char['show_belt'])"
+
+# Run test suite
+python -m pytest -q test/
+```
+
+Use `rg` first. It's the fastest way to localize faults.
+
+---
+
+## 4) High-risk areas
+
+### 4.1 Repair/vendor flow
+
+- A5 Larzuk detection is noisy and can fail.
+- Current behavior: A5 normal flow → Larzuk direct template click → Act 4 Halbu fallback.
+- `repair_npc=a4_halbu` config key skips Larzuk entirely.
+
+Files: `src/town/a5.py`, `src/town/town_manager.py`, `src/bot.py`
+
+### 4.2 Discord messaging
+
+Known issue: `'NoneType' object has no attribute 'to_dict'`
+
+Current fix: `src/messages/discord_embeds.py` `_send_embed` only passes `file=` when attachment exists. Plain text fallback on embed failure.
+
+Config: `config/params.ini` → `[discord_events]`
+
+### 4.3 Selling safety
+
+Current protections:
+- Sell logs include item names (not coordinates only).
+- `protect_shields_from_sell=1` blocks selling items whose detected name includes "shield".
+
+Files: `src/inventory/personal.py`, `config/params.ini`, `src/config.py`
+
+### 4.4 XP logging
+
+Two separate concerns:
+1. OCR extraction: `src/ui/player_bar.py` — parser handles `I/l/|→1`, `O/o→0`.
+2. XP status projection math: `src/game_stats.py` `_create_msg()` — zero denominators guarded.
+
+### 4.5 HealthManager (rejuv / chicken logic) ⚠️
+
+The most subtle source of false positives. See Section 10.2 for full details.
+
+Key thresholds (params.ini `[char]`):
+- `take_rejuv_potion_health = 0.80` — drink rejuv if HP ≤ 80%
+- `take_rejuv_potion_mana = 0.55` — drink rejuv if mana ≤ 55%
+- `chicken = 0.50` — flee if HP ≤ 50%
+
+The "two juvs in 8s → chicken" check **must also verify HP was the trigger**, not just mana. Hammerdins burn mana fast; mana can legitimately trigger back-to-back rejuvs at full HP.
+
+### 4.6 PickIt gold loop ⚠️
+
+`_yoink_item()` **always returns `PickedUpResult.PickedUp`** regardless of actual success (line 129). This means pickup failures are only detectable through `_pick_up_item`'s same-ID or same-UID checks — and different gold pile amounts produce different IDs, bypassing those checks entirely.
+
+Fix in place: `pick_up_items()` now blacklists `item.ID` in `_cached_pickit_items` on `PickedUpFailed`. Do not remove this case.
+
+---
+
+## 5) State machine (bot.py)
+
+States: `initialization → hero_selection → town → [run state] → town → ...`
+
+Full state list: `initialization`, `hero_selection`, `town`, `level`, `pindle`, `shenk`, `trav`, `nihlathak`, `arcane`, `diablo`, `vizier`, `baal`, `mephisto`, `andariel`, `countess`
+
+Key transitions:
+| Trigger | Source | Dest | Handler |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `init` | initialization | initialization | `on_init` |
+| `select_character` | initialization | hero_selection | `on_select_character` |
+| `start_from_town` | initialization/hero_selection | town | `on_start_from_town` |
+| `maintenance` | town | town | `on_maintenance` |
+| `run_pindle` | town | pindle | `on_run_pindle` |
+| `run_arcane` | town | arcane | `on_run_arcane` |
+| `end_run` | any run state | town | `on_end_run` |
+| `end_game` | town/any run state | initialization | `on_end_game` |
+
+**`on_maintenance` guard**: If `_curr_loc` is None (e.g. after a chicken recovery), defaults to `A1_TOWN_START` with a warning log. Do not remove this guard.
+
+**`end_game` vs `end_run`**: When TP charges run out, trigger `end_game` so the bot restarts and restocks in the next game — not `end_run` which tries to TP back and loops.
+
+---
+
+## 6) Config system
+
+Priority order (highest first):
+```
+custom.ini > params.ini > game.ini > shop.ini > transmute.ini
+```
+
+`custom.ini` is gitignored — user-only overrides. Never edit `game.ini` for user settings.
+
+### Key detection flow
+
+On every `Config()` instantiation:
+1. Reads `Saved Games/Diablo II Resurrected/<charname>.keyo` binary file.
+2. Parses slot-to-key mapping (`CHAR_BINDING_SLOTS` in `key_detector.py`).
+3. Slot 41 = `show_belt`, slot 36 = `stand_still`, slot 44 = `weapon_switch`, etc.
+4. Compares each detected key against params.ini value.
+5. If they match → use detected key silently.
+6. If they differ → logs `"Keeping configured key binding for X: 'params_val' (detected 'keyo_val')"` and keeps the params.ini value.
+
+**What "Keeping..." means**: params.ini disagrees with the in-game binding. Usually indicates a config typo or stale params.ini. If you see `Keeping show_belt: 'k' (detected 'n')`, the fix is `show_belt=n` in params.ini `[char]`.
+
+### Config singleton pattern
+
+`Config` uses `__new__` with a `data_loaded` class variable. Calling `Config()` multiple times in the same process returns the same loaded instance. After editing params.ini at runtime, `Config().reload()` is needed (or restart the bot).
+
+---
+
+## 7) Current bot profile (Fistman — as of 2026-06-05)
+
+- **Character**: Hammerdin (`src/char/paladin/hammerdin.py`)
+- **Runs**: Pindle + Arcane Sanctuary
+- **Key bindings** (from .keyo + params.ini):
+  - `show_belt = n` (belt hotkey)
+  - `stand_still = capslock` (overrides detected 'shift')
+  - `weapon_switch = w`
+  - `show_items = alt`
+  - `potion1..4 = 1,2,3,4`
+- **Capabilities**: `can_teleport_natively = True` (set via `override_capabilities` in `[advanced_options]`)
+- **Thresholds**: `take_rejuv_potion_health=0.80`, `take_rejuv_potion_mana=0.55`, `chicken=0.50`
+
+---
+
+## 8) Testing strategy by change type
+
+### Messaging changes
+```powershell
+python -m pytest -q test/test_discord_embeds.py
+```
+
+### Config parsing changes
+```powershell
+python -m compileall src/config.py
+python -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'src'); from config import Config; c=Config(); print(c.char['show_belt'], c.char['stand_still'])"
+```
+
+### Inventory/sell logic
+- Validate no exceptions in `inspect_items` / `transfer_items`.
+- Log outputs should include item names (not just coordinates).
+- Prefer dry functional checks from logs before gameplay runs.
+
+### HealthManager changes
+- Check that chicken thresholds still fire at the right HP%.
+- Verify the two-rejuv check only triggers when `health_percentage <= take_rejuv_potion_health`.
+
+### PickIt changes
+- Confirm `_cached_pickit_items` is populated on both `PickedUp` (cached True) and `PickedUpFailed` (cached False).
+- Confirm `_yoink_item` return value is not relied on for success detection.
+
+---
+
+## 9) Git hygiene
+
+- Keep untracked: `.env`, `config/custom.ini`, `log/`, `log/screenshots/`
+- Do not revert unrelated user changes.
+- Commit frequently with single-purpose messages.
+- `python -m compileall src/` must pass cleanly before committing.
+
+---
+
+## 10) Module internals and trap patterns
+
+### 10.1 Config / key detection traps
+
+**Trap**: `apply_key_bindings` runs *after* `self.char` is built in `config.py`. If you add a new key to `self.char` dict and it doesn't exist in `CHAR_BINDING_SLOTS`, the keyo detector won't touch it — but the user still needs to have it in params.ini.
+
+**Trap**: "Keeping configured key binding" is NOT an error. It means the user explicitly configured something different from the game default. It becomes a problem only if the params.ini value is wrong (e.g., 'k' instead of 'n' for show_belt).
+
+**Trap**: `Config()` is a singleton via `__new__`. The first call loads everything. Subsequent calls within the same process return the cached instance. Do NOT expect param changes at runtime to be visible without `Config().reload()`.
+
+### 10.2 HealthManager rejuv traps
+
+The rejuv logic in `start_monitor()`:
+```python
+if last_drink > 0.60:  # minimum between rejuvs
+    if health <= take_rejuv_potion_health or mana <= take_rejuv_potion_mana:
+        drink_rejuv()
+        self._last_rejuv = time.time()
+        # Two juvs in 8 seconds → chicken ONLY if HP was the trigger
+        if last_drink < 8 and health_percentage <= Config().char["take_rejuv_potion_health"]:
+            self._do_chicken(img)
+```
+
+**Critical**: The `last_drink < 8` chicken check MUST also check `health_percentage`. Without it, any mana-triggered second rejuv (common for Hammerdins) will false-chicken at 99.9% HP. The fix is already in place — do not revert it.
+
+**Timing**: The monitor polls every `3/25s * jitter(±20%)` ≈ 96–144ms. At 25 FPS that's every 3 frames.
+
+**Thread safety**: `_pause_state` and `_panel_check_paused` are protected by `_state_lock`. Module-level `get_pause_state()` / `set_pause_state()` functions delegate to the singleton. Always use these functions from external code.
+
+### 10.3 PickIt ID/UID system
+
+`GroundItem` has two identifiers:
+
+```python
+ID  = slugify(f"{Name}_{'_'.join([str(v) for _,v in as_dict().items()])}")
+# Includes Amount in the string. Two gold piles with different amounts = different IDs.
+
+UID = f"{ID}_{'_'.join([str(v) for v in center])}"
+# ID + screen position. Same pile at same coordinates = same UID.
+```
+
+**Trap**: `_pick_up_item`'s gold-fail detection uses `item.ID == prev.ID`. If two nearby gold piles have different amounts (e.g., 338g and 157g), they alternate as the "next" item and each one's ID never matches the previous, so the same-ID fail check never fires. The loop runs until timeout (20s).
+
+**Trap**: `_yoink_item` ALWAYS returns `PickedUpResult.PickedUp`. It never returns `PickedUpFailed`. Pickup failures for teleport builds are silently swallowed.
+
+**Fix in place**: `pick_up_items()` match block now has:
+```python
+case PickedUpResult.PickedUpFailed:
+    self._cached_pickit_items[item.ID] = False  # blacklist this session
+```
+This stops the alternating-gold loop by blacklisting the item after the first confirmed failure.
+
+### 10.4 Belt system open() key chain
+
+`belt.open()` tries keys in this order:
+```python
+[config_val, "n", "k", "`", "~"]  # deduplicated
+```
+
+If `show_belt = n` in params.ini, the first key tried is 'n'. If it works, no fallback keys appear in logs. If you see `"Trying to open belt with key: k"` it means 'n' failed — check if `show_belt` is actually set to 'n' and if the D2R window is focused.
+
+### 10.5 TownManager location routing
+
+`get_act_from_location(loc)` returns `None` for non-string inputs (e.g., `True`, `False`). The isinstance guard at line 36 (`if not isinstance(loc, str): return None`) prevents `AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'upper'`. Do not remove it.
+
+All town methods that receive a `Location` return `False` (not `None`) on failure. Callers should check `if not new_loc` not `if new_loc is None`.
+
+### 10.6 State machine: `end_game` vs `end_run`
+
+`end_run` sends a TP, waits in town, does maintenance, then starts another run. If something prevents getting back to town (no TP scrolls, merc dead with no body, disconnected), `end_run` loops.
+
+`end_game` saves and exits, restarts the game fresh. Use it when:
+- TP charges = 0 (bot will restock on next game start)
+- Unrecoverable in-game state
+- Max consecutive failed runs reached
+
+Triggering `end_run` when TP is gone causes an infinite "No TP charges left, trying to walk back" loop (pre-fix behavior).
+
+### 10.7 distance calculation (processing_helpers.py)
+
+The y-center of the screen for distance math is `screen_height / 2`, NOT `screen_width / 2`. Using the wrong dimension skews distance sorting for items on the top/bottom half of the screen. Fix is already applied.
+
+---
+
+## 11) Bugs fixed in 2026-06-04/05 session
+
+All fixes were applied and verified by Python compile/config tests:
+
+| Bug | File | Symptom in logs | Fix |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `show_belt` wrong key (`n` instead of `k`) | `config/params.ini` | "Recovered belt hotkey using 'k'" on first game, then silent in-memory mutation | `show_belt=n` → `show_belt=k` |
+| `AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'upper'` | `src/town/town_manager.py:36` | Crash in `get_act_from_location` when `True`/`False` passed as loc | Added `isinstance(loc, str)` guard |
+| No-TP → infinite loop | `src/bot.py` | "No TP charges left, trying to walk back" repeated forever | Trigger `end_game` instead of `end_run` on zero TP |
+| Distance y-axis wrong | `src/d2r_image/processing_helpers.py` | Items sorted by wrong distance; far items picked first | `screen_width/2` → `screen_height/2` for y |
+| `on_maintenance` crash with no location | `src/bot.py` | Crash after chicken recovery when `_curr_loc=None` | Guard: default to `A1_TOWN_START` if None |
+| False-positive chicken on mana rejuv | `src/health_manager.py:133` | "Two juvs drank within 0.63s. Chicken, HP 99.9%!" | Added `and health_percentage <= take_rejuv_potion_health` |
+| Gold pickup infinite loop | `src/item/pickit.py:241` | 338g/157g alternating in logs for 20s | Added `PickedUpFailed` case to blacklist `item.ID` |
+| Health pots sold when needed | `src/inventory/personal.py:351` | "Discarding SUPER HEALING POTION." + "Confirmed sell SUPER HEALING POTION" despite health needs | Check `get_needs()` before dropping consumable; `continue` to skip sell/drop when pot is needed |
+| No fill_from_inventory after failed buy | `src/bot.py` (after line 438) | Belt empty all game despite pots sitting in inventory; "Out of gold" then nothing fills belt | After buy_consumables block, call `fill_up_belt_from_inventory` + `update_pot_needs` when needs > 0 |
+| Wrong weapon in combat after chicken mid-buff | `src/char/i_char.py` `_pre_buff_cta` | Character dies immediately; dies with CTA flail/shield instead of main weapon | Added BC skill-bar template verification after each `weapon_switch`; corrects slot if wrong at game start; retries once on failure |
+
+---
+
+## 12) Known pending issues (as of 2026-06-05)
+
+- **C10** (IMPROVEMENTS.md): `kill_thread()` uses `PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc` — can leave locks inconsistent. Replace with `threading.Event` cooperative shutdown. High risk.
+- **optipng pass on assets/**: Pending. Run `asset_manager.py batch` or `optipng -o7` on all PNGs.
+- **Thread safety** (H14 in IMPROVEMENTS.md): `health_manager` and `death_manager` shared state — Lock is now present in HealthManager but verify all paths use it.
+- **PickedUpResult enum gap** (M14): Values are 0,1,3,4,5. Value 2 is missing. Non-critical but confusing.
+- **Gold vicious cycle**: Low gold → can't buy pots → health empty → more chickens/deaths → less gold. Monitor runs after the personal.py + bot.py fix — if the cycle still triggers, also check that `inspect_items` isn't being called with vendor_open=True before `fill_up_belt_from_inventory`.
+
+---
+
+## 13) Fast triage mapping
+
+| Symptom in logs | Where to look | Likely cause |
+|---|---|---|
+| "Recovered belt hotkey using 'k'" on game 1, then silent | `config/params.ini` | `show_belt=n` should be `show_belt=k` |
+| "Two juvs drank... Chicken" at HP > 80% | `src/health_manager.py:133` | Missing HP check on two-rejuv condition |
+| Gold pile (XYZg) repeating 5+ times | `src/item/pickit.py:241` | `PickedUpFailed` case missing; item not blacklisted |
+| "Failed to pick up X" then same X again immediately | `_yoink_item` / `_cached_pickit_items` | Blacklist not being set on failure |
+| `AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'upper'` | `src/town/town_manager.py:36` | isinstance guard removed or bypassed |
+| "No TP charges left, trying to walk back" (repeating) | `src/bot.py` around `end_run` | `end_run` triggered when should be `end_game` |
+| "No current location set" | `src/bot.py on_maintenance` | `_curr_loc` was None after chicken/recovery |
+| Discord embed errors | `src/messages/discord_embeds.py` | `file=` kwarg passed when attachment is None |
+| Repair fail loops | `src/town/a5.py` + `town_manager.py` | Larzuk template noise; check A4 fallback path |
+| "Failed to log exp" | `src/ui/player_bar.py` | OCR misread; check for `I/l` → `1` ambiguity |
+| Sell includes wrong items | `src/inventory/personal.py` | `protect_shields_from_sell` or item filter issue |
+| "Discarding SUPER HEALING POTION" + "Confirmed sell..." | `src/inventory/personal.py:351` | Consumable sold despite belt need — fixed by get_needs() guard |
+| Belt needs stay health=3/mana=3 game after game; pots never drunk | `src/bot.py` after buy_consumables + `personal.py:351` | Health pots sold during inspect; no fill_from_inventory fallback |
+| "started on CTA slot" in logs; dies in first seconds of run | `src/char/i_char.py _pre_buff_cta` | Game saved with CTA slot active (interrupted buff). Use `BC` template check at startup to detect and correct |
+| Character enters run at partial HP (e.g. 40% after chicken) | `src/bot.py on_maintenance` | Health manager paused in town; no town-heal loop. Check `meters.get_health` and drink belt pots in maintenance before `update_pot_needs` |

+# Anti-Detection Framework for Botty-Go
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the multi-layered anti-detection system built into botty-go.
+Each layer addresses a specific detection vector that Blizzard and modern anti-cheat
+systems use to identify bots.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Server-Side Behavior Analysis Countermeasures
+
+### Detection: Session length, timing consistency, pathing patterns, repetition
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 1a. Variable Session Scheduling
+- **Implementation:** `internal/schedule/scheduler.go`
+- Randomized session start times using a circadian model
+- Simulated human sleep patterns: 6-10 hour breaks between sessions
+- Weekend/weekday behavior variance (humans play differently on weekends)
+- Random session lengths: 20min to 6hours with exponential distribution
+- Occasional "just 5 more minutes" overtime and "I'm tired" early stops
+
+#### 1b. Stochastic Pathing
+- **Implementation:** `internal/pather/stochastic.go`
+- Add deliberate pathing imperfection: 5-15% deviation from optimal route
+- Occasional wrong-way teleports followed by course correction
+- Non-optimal waypoint selections (humants don't always take shortest path)
+- Variable route ordering with cooldown-dependent choices
+- 2-3% chance of "getting lost" and using wrong waypoint first
+
+#### 1c. Skill Rotation Variance
+- **Implementation:** `internal/char/behavior.go`
+- Variable pre-buff timing (humans rush sometimes, sometimes take time)
+- Occasional wrong skill selection followed by correction
+- Potion usage with human-like hesitation (check multiple times before drinking)
+- Merc healing variance: sometimes forget, sometimes over-heal
+
+#### 1d. Route Randomization with Context
+- **Implementation:** `internal/bot/route_planner.go`
+- Dynamic route selection based on:
+  - Time since last run of each type
+  - Current TP scroll count (humans adapt)
+  - Gem/transmute urgency
+  - Occasional "feels like it" switches
+- Never perfect round-robin; use weighted probability with drift
+
+#### 1e. Farming Repetition Masking
+- Never run the same route more than 8 times consecutively
+- Insert "town breaks": stash visit, shrine check, repair, gamble
+- 1-2% chance of "I'm bored, switching to different run" mid-session
+- Vary kill strategies: sometimes rush, sometimes methodical
+
+---
+
+## 2. Warden / Client Integrity Countermeasures
+
+### Detection: Loaded modules, injected DLLs, memory signatures, debuggers
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 2a. Pixel-Only Architecture (No Memory Access)
+- **Implementation:** entire bot reads game state ONLY via screenshots
+- NO memory reading, NO DLL injection, NO process hooking
+- Same attack surface as a human with a camera pointed at the screen
+- This is the #1 defense: if you only use screen capture + input simulation,
+  there's nothing to scan in process memory
+
+#### 2b. Clean Process Environment
+- **Implementation:** `internal/runtime/clean_env.go`
+- Standard Go binary with no suspicious imports
+- No debuggers, no memory readers, no process manipulation
+- Run as a normal application, not injected
+
+#### 2c. Overlay Avoidance
+- Never draw on top of game window
+- No window hooking or injection
+- Screenshot from a separate thread, not an overlay
+
+---
+
+## 3. Input Pattern Analysis Countermeasures
+
+### Detection: Synthetic inputs, smooth cursor paths, periodic inputs, no micro-corrections
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 3a. Human Motor Model
+- **Implementation:** `internal/mouse/human_model.go`
+- Full biomechanical mouse model based on Fitts' Law and human motion studies
+- Real human mouse data characteristics:
+  - Multi-segment movement with micro-pauses (1-3 segments per motion)
+  - Acceleration curve: start slow, peak in middle, decelerate into target
+  - Endpoint micro-adjustments: 2-5 pixel wobble before click
+  - Inter-trial variability: each movement is unique even to same target
+  - Asymmetric error distribution: overshoot more right/down (human bias)
+
+#### 3b. Click Timing Model
+- **Implementation:** `internal/mouse/click_model.go`
+- Variable time between "arriving" at target and clicking: 50ms-800ms
+- Pressure curve: humans don't click at exact same speed
+- Double-click rate varies naturally
+- Occasional misses: 0.5-1% of clicks land slightly off (1-3px)
+
+#### 3c. Keyboard Behavior Model
+- **Implementation:** `internal/keyboard/human_model.go`
+- Key press duration variance: not all keypresses are identical
+- Typing rhythm for skill hotkeys: natural cadence with micro-pauses
+- Occasional key repeat (holding too long = rapid fire)
+- Realistic key-up/key-down timing ratios
+
+#### 3d. Statistical Indistinguishability
+- **Implementation:** `internal/input/stats.go`
+- All input streams modeled from real human motion capture data
+- Entropy analysis of output matches human baselines
+- Auto-calibration: measure user's own input if they do manual play
+- Periodically inject "manual-looking" variance spikes
+
+---
+
+## 4. Economy and Item-Flow Countermeasures
+
+### Detection: Gold accumulation, rune farming, item transfer networks, mule behavior
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 4a. Natural Accumulation Rate
+- **Implementation:** `internal/inventory/economy.go`
+- Vary farming intensity: some sessions heavy, some light
+- Match accumulation to stated playtime (more sessions = more loot)
+- Occasionally "waste" items on gambling/repairs like a real player
+
+#### 4b. Realistic Trading Patterns
+- No mass item funneling
+- If trading, do it in human-sized batches with natural pauses
+- Vary trade partners and timing
+
+#### 4c. Rune Farming Variance
+- Don't farm the same runes every session
+- Match rune acquisition to character progression
+- Occasionally skip rune picks when "full"
+
+---
+
+## 5. Ban Wave Defense
+
+### Detection: Delayed batch bans
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 5a. Graceful Degradation
+- **Implementation:** `internal/runtime/safe_mode.go`
+- If one account gets banned, immediately reduce intensity across all
+- Auto-pause farming for 48-72 hours (simulating "taking a break")
+- Gradual return with reduced session lengths
+- Change behavior patterns after any ban event
+
+#### 5b. Account Diversity
+- Each account has distinct "personality":
+  - Different session timing preferences
+  - Different route preferences
+  - Different response timing distributions
+  - Different play styles (rusher vs methodical)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Server Authority Countermeasures
+
+### Detection: Server-side validation of movement, drops, combat, inventory
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 6a. Server-Authoritative Behavior
+- **Implementation:** `internal/bot/server_aware.go`
+- Only interact with what the server actually shows
+- Wait for server confirmation before acting (e.g., confirm item picked up)
+- Respect server-enforced movement limits (no speed hacks)
+- Process drops in game-authorized order
+
+#### 6b. No Client Manipulation
+- Never try to spoof packets, modify client, or exploit desync
+- Purely reactive: see screen -> decide -> act -> wait for response
+
+---
+
+## 7. Social/Reporting System Countermeasures
+
+### Detection: Player reports + telemetry correlation
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 7a. Social Stealth
+- **Implementation:** `internal/social/stealth.go`
+- Play during off-peak hours less suspiciously
+- Avoid solo-public routes that attract attention
+- Occasionally join other players' games (with reduced automation)
+- Inherit human-like chat behavior if configured
+
+---
+
+## 8. Hardware/Identity Correlation Countermeasures
+
+### Detection: IP patterns, hardware fingerprints, VMs, account clusters
+
+### Countermeasures:
+
+#### 8a. Clean Deployment
+- **Implementation:** `internal/deploy/clean.go`
+- Run on real hardware, not VMs
+- Use residential IP, not datacenter
+- One account per hardware profile
+- No VPN/proxy during play sessions
+
+---
+

+
+## Key Design Principles
+
+1. **Statistical indistinguishability:** Output must be statistically
+   indistinguishable from real human input. We use actual human motion
+   capture data distributions, not made-up random numbers.
+
+2. **Controlled imperfection:** A human is inefficient, forgetful, and
+   inconsistent. The bot should be too — but in a way that matches
+   real human distributions.
+
+3. **No single fingerprint:** Every instance should have unique enough
+   characteristics that correlating two accounts is hard.
+
+4. **Adaptability:** If behavior changes are detected, the system should
+   be able to recalibrate based on new data.
+
+5. **Defense in depth:** No single countermeasure is sufficient. The
+   combination across all layers is what provides real protection.

+# Botty-Go
+
+D2R Pixel Bot rewritten in Go for cross-platform support (Linux + Windows).
+
+Based on the Python Botty project (johannes-do/botty), this is a ground-up rewrite
+in Go that maintains compatibility with the same config files, templates, and run
+logic while adding native Linux support.
+
+## Features
+
+- Cross-platform: Linux (X11/Wayland) and Windows
+- Same config format as original Botty (params.ini, game.ini, shop.ini)
+- Template matching with OpenCV Go bindings
+- Tesseract OCR for item identification
+- Human-like mouse movement (Bezier curves)
+- BNIP pickit language
+- All original character builds (Sorc, Paladin, Necro, Barbarian, etc.)
+- All original runs (Pindle, Eldritch, Shenk, Trav, Nihlathak, Arcane, Diablo)
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+# Linux
+go build -o botty ./cmd/botty
+
+# Windows (from Linux with cross-compile)
+GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o botty.exe ./cmd/botty
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Copy `config/` from the original Botty project. Params, routes, and character
+config work identically.

+# Legacy: Go Rewrite Design Notes
+
+These docs are archived from an abandoned `~/git/botty-go` directory (May 2026).
+That project was a planned ground-up Go rewrite of `johannes-do/botty` for
+cross-platform (Linux + Windows) support. Only design docs existed — no `.go`
+source was ever written.
+
+The Python `my-botty` project (this repo) is the active path. These docs are
+kept here as **reference material**, primarily for Milestone 2 (anti-detection /
+stealth) of `~/.claude/plans/continue-the-make-up-sunny-honey.md`.
+
+## Files
+
+- **`ANTI_DETECTION.md`** — Multi-layer anti-detection framework. Covers
+  server-side behavior analysis countermeasures (session scheduling, stochastic
+  pathing, skill rotation variance) and more. Directly applicable as the design
+  basis for the Python stealth layer.
+- **`GO_REWRITE_README.md`** — Original README of the abandoned Go project.
+  Context only — explains feature scope and what the rewrite was aiming for.

+# Linux Port Plan (Botty)
+
+## Goal
+Make Botty runnable on Linux in phased steps, with clear checkpoints and minimal regressions for current Windows users.
+
+## Current status
+Botty is currently Windows-first. Full gameplay flow does not run on Linux due to:
+- Windows input stack (`win_input`, Win32 hotkey polling).
+- Windows process/window management (`taskkill`, Win32 window APIs, `os.startfile`).
+- Windows dependency assumptions (`pywin32`, Windows tesserocr wheel guidance).
+- Windows path/env assumptions (`APPDATA`, `C:\...`, `D2R.exe`, `.bat` scripts).
+
+## Principles
+- Keep Windows behavior unchanged while adding Linux support.
+- Introduce platform abstractions before replacing implementations.
+- Land small, testable phases.
+- Prefer graceful `NotImplemented` behavior over hard crashes on unsupported paths.
+
+## Phase 1: Platform abstraction layer
+1. Add a `platform_adapter` module with interfaces for:
+   - Input (keyboard/mouse send + hotkeys)
+   - Window management (find game window, set top-most, geometry)
+   - Process control (start/stop/check D2R/Battle.net)
+2. Route existing Windows calls through adapters.
+3. Add Linux stub implementations that fail gracefully with actionable logs.
+4. Add unit tests for adapter selection and fallback behavior.
+
+## Phase 2: Linux-safe startup and tooling
+1. Add Linux entry script (`run_botty.sh`) and dependency checker shell script.
+2. Update startup to avoid Windows-only calls unless platform is Windows.
+3. Normalize path handling to `pathlib` where feasible.
+4. Ensure `main.py` can start on Linux without immediate import/runtime crashes.
+
+## Phase 3: Linux input backend
+1. Implement Linux input backend (X11/Wayland-compatible strategy):
+   - Candidate libs: `pynput`, `python-xlib`, or tool-backed approach (`xdotool` for X11).
+2. Match required Botty features:
+   - Key press/hold/release
+   - Mouse move/click with jitter and timing controls
+   - Hotkey registration/polling
+3. Add integration tests/mocks for input primitives.
+
+## Phase 4: Linux screen/window backend
+1. Validate capture compatibility for `mss` under target Linux desktop/session.
+2. Implement Linux window discovery/focus/geometry handling.
+3. Rework DPI/coordinate normalization independent of Win32 APIs.
+4. Add diagnostics tool to verify coordinates, capture ROI, and template matching on Linux.
+
+## Phase 5: Process and launcher integration
+1. Linux-compatible process management (replace `taskkill` paths).
+2. Replace `os.startfile` launcher logic with cross-platform process spawning.
+3. Add platform-specific config defaults for game executable path conventions.
+
+## Phase 6: Dependency and OCR strategy
+1. Split dependencies by platform (base + windows extras + linux extras).
+2. Document Linux OCR setup (tesseract/leptonica packages + python bindings).
+3. Add CI matrix entries:
+   - Windows: full current pipeline
+   - Linux: import/startup + unit/integration subset first, expand later
+
+## Phase 7: Feature parity validation
+1. Verify end-to-end flows:
+   - Start game, run cycle, maintenance, save/exit, restart handling
+2. Validate pickit, stash/sell, discord messaging, stats logging.
+3. Benchmark timing-sensitive routines and tune Linux defaults.
+
+## Risk register
+- Wayland restrictions can block synthetic input/screen capture depending on compositor.
+- Template matching thresholds may differ due to capture pipeline differences.
+- Hotkey handling behavior can differ across desktop environments.
+- OCR reliability can vary based on font rendering stack.
+
+## Suggested delivery milestones
+1. **M1**: Linux no-crash startup + stubs + docs.
+2. **M2**: Linux input backend functional in sandbox diagnostics.
+3. **M3**: Linux screen/window backend and maintenance loop stable.
+4. **M4**: End-to-end run support in supported Linux environments.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+- Botty starts on Linux and logs clear capability status.
+- No Windows-only hard failures on Linux code paths.
+- Core run loop can execute in a supported Linux environment.
+- Windows behavior remains stable and covered by existing tests/CI.

+:: that Tesseract needs admin/UAC -- there is no per-user install path with the
+:: official installer. Either outcome is fine at runtime because find_tesseract
+:: and src\d2r_image\ocr.py both search the machine-wide and per-user paths.

+        self.state["quests"][f"{act}-{qn}"] = QuestStatus.IN_PROGRESS
+        # Route to quest implementation
+        # ... call quest module
+```
+
+## 3. Quest NPC Interaction
+
+Every quest requires talking to NPCs. The existing `npc_manager.py` has `talk_to_npc()` which we extend.
+
+```python
+# quest/quest_npc.py
+# Utilities for NPC dialogue selection
+
+from utils.custom_mouse import mouse
+from utils.misc import wait
+from template_finder import search_and_wait
+from screen import grab
+
+def talk_and_select(dialogue_choice: str, npc_name: str):
+    """
+    Talk to NPC and select a specific dialogue option.
+    botty already detects NPC and opens dialogue. We need to click
+    the specific dialogue button.
+    """
+    from npc_manager import talk_to_npc
+    talk_to_npc(npc_name)
+    wait(1)
+    # D2R shows dialogue options in a box at bottom center.
+    # Detect the text of each option using OCR and click the matching one.
+    click_dialogue_option(dialogue_choice)
+
+def click_dialogue_option(text: str):
+    """
+    Use OCR to read dialogue options and click the one containing the given text.
+    """
+    from d2r_image.ocr import image_to_text
+    img = grab()
+    roi = (300, 530, 680, 190)  # dialogue box area
+    result = image_to_text(cut_roi(img, roi), psm=6)
+    for line in result.text.split('\n'):
+        if text.lower() in line.lower():
+            # Click near the center of this text line
+            # ... (use OCR bounding box to find click position)
+            break
+
+def check_quest_item_on_screen() -> bool:
+    """Detect if a quest item tooltip is visible (gold item name)."""
+    # Quest items have a gold/purple glow. Detect by color.
+    img = grab()
+    roi = (400, 400, 200, 200)  # quest item pickup area
+    # Check for gold-colored pixels indicating a quest item
+    ...
+```
+
+## 4. Quest Item Tracking
+
+Quest items (keys, scrolls, weapons) need to be tracked. We extend the inventory system.
+
+```python
+# quest/quest_items.py
+
+QUEST_ITEMS = {
+    "stone_of_jah": "Stone of Jah",
+    "hephaestons_key": "Hephaston's Key",
+    "tal_rashas_will": "Tal Rasha's Will",
+    "keys_to_the_crypt": "Keys to the Crypt",
+    "harumony": "Harumony",
+    "ancients_battle_order": "Ancient's Battle Order",
+    "horadric_cube": "Horadric Cube",
+    "horadric_staff": "Horadric Staff",
+    "amulet_of_the_vipers": "Amulet of the Vipers",
+}
+
+def has_quest_item(name: str) -> bool:
+    """Check if quest item is in inventory."""
+    # Use OCR to scan inventory for item name
+    # OR check by item template matching (faster)
+    ...
+
+def equip_quest_item(name: str):
+    """Click on quest item in inventory to equip it."""
+    ...
+
+def pickup_quest_item():
+    """Detect and pickup quest items on ground (gold glow)."""
+    # Quest items have a gold/purple glow around them
+    # Detect with color thresholding
+    ...
+```
+
+## 5. Quest Combat
+
+Most quests involve fighting a boss or clearing a path. Botty already has combat logic.
+
+```python
+# quest/quest_combat.py
+
+from char.i_char import IChar
+from pather import Pather
+
+def kill_boss(boss_name: str, atk_len: float, char: IChar, pather: Pather):
+    """
+    Navigate to boss, fight until dead.
+    Reuses botty's existing kill_* methods from run/*.py
+    """
+    # 1. Find boss on screen
+    # 2. Move to boss position
+    # 3. Attack until dead (same as run/trav.py)
+    # 4. Return to town
+    ...
+
+def clear_room(char: IChar, pather: Pather):
+    """Clear a room of monsters (for quests requiring room clearance)."""
+    # Same logic as pather.follow_path() but with combat
+    ...
+```
+
+## 6. Integration with Bot State Machine
+
+The existing bot uses a state machine (transitions library). We add quest states.
+
+```python
+# bot.py changes
+
+# Add quest states to the state machine
+self._states = self._states + [
+    'quest', 'quest_act_transition'
+]
+
+# Add quest transitions
+self._transitions = self._transitions + [
+    {'trigger': 'run_quest', 'source': 'town', 'dest': 'quest', 'before': 'on_run_quest'},
+    {'trigger': 'end_quest', 'source': 'quest', 'dest': 'town', 'before': 'on_end_quest'},
+    {'trigger': 'act_transition', 'source': 'town', 'dest': 'quest_act_transition',
+     'before': 'on_act_transition'},
+]
+
+def on_run_quest(self):
+    """Start next quest."""
+    from quest.quest_manager import QuestManager
+    qm = QuestManager()
+    nxt = qm.next_quest()
+    if nxt:
+        act, qn = nxt
+        quest_func = self._get_quest_function(act, qn)
+        quest_func()
+        qm.mark_complete(act, qn)
+        qm.save()
+
+def on_end_quest(self):
+    """After a quest completes, check if act is done."""
+    qm = QuestManager()
+    if qm.is_act_complete(self.current_act):
+        self.trigger_or_stop('act_transition')
+    else:
+        self.trigger_or_stop('run_quest')
+
+def on_act_transition(self):
+    """Transition to next act (talk to NPC, unlock next act)."""
+    qm = QuestManager()
+    qm.advance_to_next_act()
+    # ... handle act transition logic
+    self.trigger_or_stop('start_from_town')
+```
+
+## 7. Configuration
+
+Add to `params.ini`:
+
+```ini
+[quest]
+; Enable quest mode (disables farming runs until quests are done)
+enabled = 1
+
+; Skip quests that are too dangerous for your character level
+; 0 = run all quests, 50 = skip quests below level 50
+min_level = 0
+
+; Auto-stash quest items between acts
+auto_stash_quest_items = 1
+
+; Continue farming after all quests are done
+farm_after_quest = 1
+```
+
+## 8. Implementation Order
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (Quest Manager + NPC Interaction)
+- quest_manager.py with state tracking
+- quest_npc.py for dialogue interaction
+- quest_state.py for persistence
+
+### Phase 2: Act 1 (6 quests)
+- Q1: Search for the Smith (kill Rats, talk to Charsi)
+- Q2: Tools of the Trade (get items from Andariel's lair)
+- Q3: Sacrifice (kill Skeletons at Crypt)
+- Q4: The Summoner (kill Summoner in Catacombs)
+- Q5: The Shepherd (kill Skeleton King + Gargothon)
+- Q6: The Fallen Angel (kill Andariel)
+
+### Phase 3: Act 2 (7 quests)
+- Q1: Radament
+- Q2: The Horadric Staff (combine Cube + Scroll)
+- Q3: Tyrael's Breath (clear Sewers, talk to Alkor)
+- Q4: Secrets (activate 4 stone tablets)
+- Q5: The Summoner (kill Duriel)
+- Q6: The Seven Tombs (kill all 7 tomb bosses)
+- Q7: The Fallen Angel (kill Duriel again)
+
+### Phase 4: Act 3 (5 quests)
+- Q1: The Forgotten Tower
+- Q2: The Quest for the Horizon (Cain)
+- Q3: The Hellforge
+- Q4: The Hellgate
+- Q5: The Prime Evil (Mephisto)
+
+### Phase 5: Act 4 (3 quests)
+- Q1: The Fallen Angel (Harumony)
+- Q2: The Fallen Angel (Tal Rasha's Will)
+- Q3: The Prime Evil (Diablo)
+
+### Phase 6: Act 5 (3 quests)
+- Q1: The Fallen Angel (Ancient's Battle Order)
+- Q2: The Quest for the Horizon (Cain)
+- Q3: The Prime Evil (Baal)
+
+## 9. Testing Strategy
+
+1. Test each quest independently in singleplayer
+2. Test quest-to-quest transitions
+3. Test act transitions
+4. Test recovery from death during quest
+5. Test with different character builds
+
+## 10. Challenges
+
+- **NPC dialogue**: D2R has branching dialogue. Need to handle all paths.
+- **Quest items**: Some quests require carrying specific items (keys, weapons).
+- **Room secrets**: Act 2 Q4 requires finding hidden passages.
+- **Multi-stage quests**: Some quests span multiple areas (Act 3 Q2-4).
+- **Character level**: Quests are designed for specific levels. A level 90 character kills everything too fast/slow.
+- **Anti-cheat**: Questing is more visible to anti-cheat than farming. Need stealth settings.

+# Botty Improvements Implementation Plan
+
+## Phase 1: Key Auto-Detection (Issue #940/#905) [DONE]
+- `src/utils/key_detector.py` reads D2R .key/.keyo files
+- Auto-fills empty char section hotkeys. Wired into config.py load_data()
+- Key normalization: left alt ~ alt, left shift ~ shift
+- Test: `tools/test_key_detector.py` and `test/test_key_detector.py` (all pass)
+
+## Phase 2: Target Detection False Positives (Issues #959/#964) [DONE]
+- Added aspect ratio filtering in `_add_markers()`
+- Rejects health bars (w/h > 3.0) and immune text (w/h < 0.5)
+- `TARGET_ASPECT_MIN = 0.5`, `TARGET_ASPECT_MAX = 3.0`
+
+## Phase 3: Pickit Timing (Issue #939) [DONE]
+- Added 200-300ms wait after `_yoink_item` pickup
+- Prevents bot teleporting before item grab animation completes
+
+## Phase 4: Hardcore Chicken Loop (Issue #942) [DONE]
+- Added `hardcore` config flag (default 0)
+- On HC death: exits safely instead of infinite restart loop
+- Sends discord message if enabled
+
+## Phase 5: Parallel Template Search (Issue #848) [PENDING]
+## Phase 6: Async Mouse Moves (Issue #955) [PENDING]
+## Phase 7: Auto-Label NPCs (Issue #950) [PENDING]
