+# Update: Restrained Team Card Styling
+
+- Team score cards keep the existing label, elite/normal count, click behavior, and focused-team state.
+- Team color is limited to a compact team marker and muted inner divider instead of a full-height side stripe or filled card background.
+- Hover and focus states are quieter: no raised hover motion, reduced brightness, and a subtle inset focus treatment instead of an outer glow.
+
+# Update: Battle Notice Rolling Text
+
+- `battleDeathNotice.js` now renders notice text inside a message span, measures the rendered content width on the next animation frame, and switches to a rolling track only when the text exceeds the notice box content width.
+- Overflowing battle notices duplicate the message in an `aria-hidden` track and use `aria-label` on the status node so assistive text is not repeated.
+- Rolling speed, gap, and duration clamps are tuned by `UI.BATTLE_NOTICE_ROLL_*` constants; non-overflowing notices keep the normal centered display.
+
+# Update: Special Projectile Trail
+
+- Special projectile movement can leave short-lived visual afterimages controlled by `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE.TRAIL`.
+- Trail sprites copy the projectile's current texture frame, scale, rotation, and flip state, then fade out without affecting hit detection or damage.
+- Trail density and cost are bounded by `TRAIL.INTERVAL_MS` and `TRAIL.LIFETIME_MS`.
+
+# Update: Split Special Projectile Visual Configs
+
+- Special projectile visual asset settings are split by caster type: melee visuals live under `SPECIAL_EFFECT.MELEE`, and ranged visuals live under `SPECIAL_EFFECT.RANGE`.
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE` now owns shared movement, hit-detection, and trail tuning only, such as acceleration, travel duration, hold time, target area, arena clamp, hit radius, lifetime, and afterimages.
+
+# Update: One-Shot Accelerating Special Projectile
+
+- Melee special sprites now use `SPECIAL_EFFECT.MELEE.REPEAT = 0`, so the configured sprite sheet plays once instead of looping while the projectile travels.
+- `special-melee-effect-1` has its `frameSequence` commented out for now, restoring the natural sprite-sheet order. A commented example remains next to the asset for quick tuning later.
+- Special projectile movement now uses a tween instead of constant `physics.moveTo`. `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE.startHoldMs` controls the stationary pre-launch tell, `travelDurationMs` controls launch speed when set, and `movementEase` controls the acceleration curve; `speed` remains the fallback if `travelDurationMs` is unset.
+
+# Update: Special Effect Frame Sequence Refresh
+
+- Special effect animations now compare the existing Phaser animation against the current configured frames, repeat count, and frame rate. If the config changed, the old global animation key is removed and recreated so `frameSequence` edits take effect without stale animation data.
+- `frameSequence` remains 1-based for sprite-sheet inspection, then converts through `generateFrameNumbers(..., { frames })`, preserving repeated frames when a special asset enables a custom sequence.
+
+# Update: Special Effect Frame Rate And Render Budget
+
+- Special effect sprite animations now multiply their configured `frameRate` by `SPECIAL_EFFECT.FRAME_RATE_MULTIPLIER`. This changes only visual frame playback; caster hold time, launch delay, projectile speed, travel distance, and timers keep their existing progress speed.
+- The special focus blur snapshot is skipped when the living fighter count is above `SPECIAL_EFFECT.FOCUS_LAYER.BLUR_MAX_FIGHTERS`. The dim layer and raised caster focus still render, avoiding the expensive full-arena render-texture blur during larger battles.
+- Special projectile hit checks now use the per-frame combat spatial index to inspect only fighters near the projectile segment when the index is available, while preserving the full-array fallback.
+
+# Update: Elite Kill Splash
+
+- Elite fighters now trigger a kill splash when they directly kill an enemy. The splash is centered on the killed fighter's body position.
+- Splash damage is `COMBAT.ELITE_KILL_SPLASH_DAMAGE_PERCENT` of the killed fighter's max HP and applies to living enemy fighters inside `COMBAT.ELITE_KILL_SPLASH_RADIUS`.
+- Splash kills still use the normal kill/death flow for logs, death statistics, despawn, split-on-death, scoreboard, and match-finish checks. `COMBAT.ELITE_KILL_SPLASH_CHAIN_ENABLED` is `false` by default, so splash kills do not recursively trigger more splashes unless explicitly enabled.
+- A short team-colored pixel-dot burst is rendered for the splash when supplemental combat effects are enabled, avoiding smooth vector circles.
+
+# Update: Team Card Focus Toggle
+
+- Team cards in the left HUD still select a random living fighter from the clicked team and zoom the camera in.
+- Clicking the same already-focused team card again clears the selected fighter, requests `CAMERA.MIN_ZOOM`, restores the match status summary, and removes the focused team-card state. If automatic spectator focus is active, that camera mode immediately reapplies its own zoom; this is intended.
+
+# Update: Special Effect Projectile
+
+- Special battle effects are implemented separately from meteor/frost barrages in `src/game/combat/specialEffects.js`.
+- Tuning lives under `SPECIAL_EFFECT` in `src/constants.js`; the same object is also exposed as `WORLD_EFFECT.SPECIAL` for world-effect domain access.
+- Each live match schedules one special-effect attempt at a random time between `SPECIAL_EFFECT.TRIGGER_DELAY_MIN_MS` and `TRIGGER_DELAY_MAX_MS`. It retries briefly only when no eligible caster exists, and never fires more than once per match.
+- Eligible casters are living, non-elite, non-magic fighters from teams that are not currently tied for first by represented living count. `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CASTER.BALANCE_NON_MAGIC_TYPES` first balances between available non-magic caster types, then picks a fighter inside that type, so ranged casters are not drowned out by the larger melee roster. The caster holds Hurt frame index `1` long enough for the zoom/focus layer to read, then the attack animation launches a giant projectile.
+- The caster receives realtime special invulnerability for `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CASTER.INVULNERABLE_MS`. Normal attacks, world-effect damage/frost survivor effects, and special instant kills all skip fighters whose invulnerability window is still active.
+- During that Hurt-frame preparation hold, combat is frozen by pausing fighter AI, Arcade Physics, and the scene clock, so combat/world timers do not advance. A realtime cinematic timer releases the pause when the attack motion begins.
+- While the caster holds the Hurt frame, `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CASTER_SPARKLE` plays only frames 2, 3, and 4 from `public/assets/effects/special/effect.png` above the caster's eye area, then removes the sparkle before the attack motion begins.
+- The caster is emphasized with a temporary focus stack: a blurred render-texture snapshot of the battlefield, a dim layer, then the caster and special launch/projectile effects above that layer. `SPECIAL_EFFECT.FOCUS_LAYER` controls depths, blur, alpha, and fades.
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CAMERA.CENTER_ON_CASTER_AT_START` makes the camera center on the caster location immediately when the special cast begins, before the slower zoom/focus motion continues.
+- When the special projectile starts moving, the special camera stops zooming in and zooms out in place through `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CAMERA.PROJECTILE_VIEW_ZOOM` and `PROJECTILE_ZOOM_OUT_MS`; it does not follow the projectile.
+- Special melee sprites can use explicit 1-based `frameSequence` arrays, but `special-melee-effect-1` currently leaves the sequence disabled to play the sheet once in natural order. The projectile uses `startHoldMs` to remain visible near the caster before traveling.
+- At target-selection time, the projectile locks onto the densest enemy tile area using represented `stackCount` population. `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE.targetAreaTiles` controls that scan footprint.
+- The moving special projectile visual is selected by caster type: melee casters fire one random sprite from `SPECIAL_EFFECT.MELEE.ASSETS`, while ranged casters use `SPECIAL_EFFECT.RANGE`. Projectile movement uses a tweened Arcade Physics sprite so acceleration can be tuned while path hit checks still run per update. Projectile travel is clamped by `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE.arenaEdgePadding`, and any living fighter intersecting the projectile path is killed instantly, with kill/death records flowing through the normal combat cleanup path.
+- Special preparation pauses existing combat objects as well as fighters: active battle tweens, world-effect fall tweens, combat-object animations, physics velocities, scene time, and Arcade Physics are restored only after the realtime Hurt-frame hold finishes.
+
+# Update: Large-Battle Render Budget
+
+- When the user-entered total fighter count is greater than `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD`, match setup enforces `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_RENDERED_FIGHTER_LIMIT` as a hard budget for physically rendered fighter plans.
+- Randomized compression still rolls blocks first. If the resulting rendered count exceeds the budget, failed normal 100-member blocks and normal remainder groups are promoted to elite groups until the rendered count is within the limit or no promotable groups remain.
+- `stackCount` is preserved, so team totals, death statistics, spectator weighting, and dense-area targeting continue to use the represented population.
+
+# Update: Field HUD Text Removal
+
+- Zoom-visible fighter HUD slots no longer create battlefield name text. Team identity is carried by the team-colored sprite shadow, so selected and zoom-visible fighters only borrow health-bar HUD objects.
+
+# Update: Large-Battle Elite Probability
+
+- When the user-entered total fighter count is greater than `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD`, randomized elite compression uses `FIGHTER.ELITE.RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.LARGE_BATTLE_ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY` instead of the normal block probability.
+- The large-battle elite probability is `0.8` by default and is clamped against the normal probability so large battles never use a lower elite block ratio than regular randomized compression.
+
+# Update: Elite Magic Attack Effect Scale
+
+- Instant-spell attack effects use `FIGHTER.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER` for their normal visual scale.
+- Elite magic fighters multiply that normal spell-effect scale by `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER`, so giant elite casters can have attack effects sized independently from fighter body scale.
+- Elite spawn plans select skins only from the configured `FIGHTER.ELITE.TYPE` list (`melee`, `magic`); normal plans retain the full skin pool.
+
+# Update: Elite Stacking Compression
+
+- Below `FIGHTER.ELITE.RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.MIN_TEAM_SIZE`, complete `FIGHTER.ELITE.STACK_SIZE = 100` blocks use fixed elite compression; with the current threshold of `100`, entries containing a complete block use randomized compression instead.
+- At or above the randomized-compression threshold, each complete 100-member block becomes one elite with probability `ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY = 0.6`; a non-elite block remains 100 rendered normal fighters. When the total requested fighter count is above the large-battle threshold, the probability increases to `LARGE_BATTLE_ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY = 0.8`.
+- Elite fighters use nested `FIGHTER.ELITE` settings for their type, 5x visual scale, magic attack-effect scale, HP ratio, attack range, attack damage, and attack/movement speed formulas. A bonus multiplier of `0` disables that added elite bonus; `1` applies the configured stack exponent fully.
+- Critical hits and world effects distinguish elite targets: elites take max-HP based critical/meteor/frost damage (10%/40%/20%), while normal fighters take 2x critical hit damage and the existing fixed meteor/frost damage.
+- `COMBAT.KILL_REWARD_ENABLED` is `false` for elite-compressed battles. Kills still update logs and death statistics, but no fighter heals, grows, or gains attack/movement speed from a kill.
+- Team cards display living physical composition as `E : elite count | N : normal count`. Death statistics, spectator thresholds/centers, and dense-area world-effect targeting continue to use represented `stackCount` population.
+- Elite representative fighters do not expand Slime `spawnMultiplier` or `splitOnDeath`; applying a randomly selected per-unit trait to an aggregated army would duplicate the represented population.

 - When the live fighter count reaches `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD`, supplemental combat visuals are suppressed unless a meteor camera focus is active.

+# Update: Special Effect Camera Focus
+
+- `ArenaScene` preloads and creates special-effect animations beside the existing fighter and world-effect assets, then starts `startSpecialEffects()` for live matches only.
+- During a special cast, `beginSpecialEffectCameraFocus()` zooms toward the caster, `zoomOutSpecialEffectCameraFocus()` zooms back out in place when the projectile starts moving, and `clearSpecialEffectCameraFocus()` restores the previous camera after the configured hold/outro timing.
+- Special focus temporarily takes priority over selected-fighter, spectator, and meteor focus so the Hurt-frame pose and projectile launch are visible.
+- When `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CAMERA.CENTER_ON_CASTER_AT_START` is enabled, special focus centers the main camera on the caster's location immediately and keeps it snapped there until projectile handoff, then continues the slower follow motion.
+- The Hurt-frame preparation window sets `scene.specialEffectPreparationPaused`, pauses the scene clock and Arcade Physics, freezes living fighter animations, pauses active combat-object tweens/animations/velocities, and places a blurred battlefield snapshot plus dim layer beneath the raised caster. Camera focus tweening stays active so the zoom-in can complete while combat and world-effect progression are stopped.
+- The projectile is not used as a camera target. Special camera targets are still clamped against the current zoom viewport so the focus stack cannot drag the camera outside the arena bounds.
+- Match restart and match finish both call `clearSpecialEffects()` so pending timers, projectile objects, caster locks, and special camera tweens do not leak into the next battle.
+
+# Update: Elite-Weighted Scene Counts
+
+- `ArenaScene.recordDeath()` records an elite death as its represented `stackCount`, keeping persisted species death totals aligned with the displayed army size.
+- `arenaSpectatorCamera.js` uses summed `stackCount` for late/final thresholds, underdog comparison, and weighted team center positions. A match containing two large compressed armies therefore does not enter final-combat camera mode at match start.
+- Minimap dots remain physical fighter markers; an elite is visible as its single large battlefield representative while numeric population remains in the scoreboard.

 # Update: Graphics Minimap And HUD Candidates
 
 - The minimap is drawn during live matches by `ArenaScene` as a lightweight `Graphics` overlay through a dedicated `minimap-hud` camera instead of reusing the field camera. Presentation/waiting mode hides it.
 - The main camera ignores the minimap graphics object, and the HUD camera ignores field objects as they are added to the scene. Minimap rendering uses team-colored living fighter dots and the main camera viewport rectangle, so the minimap frame stays fixed while the main camera follows combat or meteor focus.

+# Update: Special Projectile Trail
+
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE.TRAIL` controls optional afterimages for the moving special projectile. Each trail copy uses the projectile's current texture frame, scale, rotation, and flip state.
+- Trail objects are visual-only combat objects: they fade out and self-dispose, but they do not participate in hit detection.
+- `TRAIL.INTERVAL_MS` and `TRAIL.LIFETIME_MS` bound how many afterimages can exist at once.
+
+# Update: Split Special Projectile Visual Configs
+
+- Special projectile visual asset settings are separated by caster type. Melee visual sheets are configured under `SPECIAL_EFFECT.MELEE`; ranged visual sheets are configured under `SPECIAL_EFFECT.RANGE`.
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE` now carries shared projectile behavior only: hold time, acceleration/ease, fallback speed, target density area, travel clamp, hit radius, max lifetime, and optional trail visuals.
+
+# Update: One-Shot Accelerating Special Projectile
+
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT.MELEE.REPEAT = 0` makes melee special sprites play once. `special-melee-effect-1` currently has `frameSequence` commented out, so it uses the sprite sheet's natural frame order.
+- Special projectile movement now uses a tween instead of constant `physics.moveTo`. `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE.startHoldMs` keeps the effect stationary for the pre-launch tell, `travelDurationMs` controls the launch duration when set, and `movementEase` controls the acceleration curve. If `travelDurationMs` is unset, movement falls back to `speed`.
+- Projectile hit checks still run from the scene UPDATE event while the tween moves the sprite, so instant-kill path detection remains active during acceleration.
+
+# Update: Special Effect Frame Sequence Refresh
+
+- `createSpecialAnimation()` now rebuilds a special animation when the existing Phaser global animation no longer matches the configured frames, repeat count, or frame rate. This prevents stale animation keys from hiding `frameSequence` edits.
+- `frameSequence` values stay 1-based in config and are converted with `generateFrameNumbers(..., { frames })`, so repeated frames are preserved when a special asset enables a custom sequence.
+
+# Update: Special Effect Frame Rate And Render Budget
+
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT.FRAME_RATE_MULTIPLIER` multiplies only special-effect animation frame rates. Caster sparkle, melee special sprites, and ranged special projectile frames can play faster or slower without changing caster hold time, launch delay, projectile movement speed, travel distance, or cleanup timers.
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT.FOCUS_LAYER.BLUR_MAX_FIGHTERS` caps when `specialEffects.js` creates the full-arena blurred render-texture snapshot. Above that living-fighter count, the special focus keeps the dim layer and raised caster but skips the expensive blur pass.
+- Special projectile hit checks prefer `scene.combatTargetIndex` and scan only spatial cells around the projectile segment, falling back to `scene.fighters` when no index exists.
+
+# Update: Special Effect Projectile
+
+- `specialEffects.js` owns the one-shot special effect flow: asset preload/animation creation, random live-match scheduling, underdog caster selection, caster pose lock, launch visuals, projectile path checks, and cleanup.
+- `SPECIAL_EFFECT` in `src/constants.js` tunes trigger timing, caster Hurt-frame hold, camera zoom, melee projectile assets, ranged projectile asset scale/speed/travel distance/hit radius, target density area, arena edge padding, and lifetime. `WORLD_EFFECT.SPECIAL` points to the same config object.
+- Casters must be living, non-elite, non-magic fighters from teams that are not currently tied for first by represented living count. When `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CASTER.BALANCE_NON_MAGIC_TYPES` is enabled, caster selection first picks among available non-magic types and then picks a fighter from that type, preventing the larger melee roster from overwhelming ranged special casts. If no caster exists at the chosen time, the timer retries within the configured window instead of firing multiple times.
+- Special casters receive realtime invulnerability for `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CASTER.INVULNERABLE_MS`. `combat.js` checks that window in normal attacks, world-effect damage, and special instant kills, while `worldEffects.js` also skips frost survivor effects for invulnerable fighters.
+- While the caster holds the Hurt frame, `specialEffects.js` pauses fighter AI, Arcade Physics, the scene clock, existing combat-object physics velocity, combat-object animations, and combat-object tweens. Existing combat/world delayed calls and already-falling meteor/frost tweens stop advancing until the realtime preparation hold releases into the attack animation.
+- The Hurt-frame preparation also spawns a caster sparkle overlay from `public/assets/effects/special/effect.png`. Its animation uses the 1-based frame sequence `[2, 3, 4]` only, positions near the caster's eyes through `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CASTER_SPARKLE`, and is disposed before the attack animation starts.
+- Caster emphasis uses `SPECIAL_EFFECT.FOCUS_LAYER`: `specialEffects.js` snapshots the current battlefield into a render texture, applies Phaser Blur FX when available, adds a dim layer, and raises the caster above both layers until cleanup.
+- The special camera does not follow the projectile. When projectile movement begins, `zoomOutSpecialEffectCameraFocus()` zooms out in place using `SPECIAL_EFFECT.CAMERA.PROJECTILE_VIEW_ZOOM` and `PROJECTILE_ZOOM_OUT_MS` so the projectile remains readable without dragging the camera off the arena.
+- Melee special projectile effects can define 1-based `frameSequence` arrays. `specialEffects.js` converts them to Phaser frames so specific frames can be repeated for readability. The projectile's `startHoldMs` keeps it visible at the caster before travel begins.
+- At target-selection time, the special projectile scans living enemies with a summed-area table and locks onto the `SPECIAL_EFFECT.PROJECTILE.targetAreaTiles` square containing the highest represented `stackCount` population. The moving projectile visual is type-based: melee casters fire one random `SPECIAL_EFFECT.MELEE.ASSETS` sprite, while ranged casters use `SPECIAL_EFFECT.RANGE`. Movement uses a tweened Arcade Physics sprite, matching normal ranged projectile path-update checks while allowing acceleration, and projectile travel is cut to the arena bounds using `arenaEdgePadding`.
+- The special projectile calls `applySpecialEffectInstantKill()` from `combat.js`, so instant kills still use the normal death animation, death-stat recording, kill log attribution when there is a surviving caster, split-on-death behavior, scoreboard refresh, and match-finish checks.
+
+# Update: Elite Magic Attack Effect Scale
+
+- `combat.js` resolves instant-spell attack effect scale through constants instead of hard-coding `FIGHTER.SCALE`.
+- Normal spell effects use `FIGHTER.SCALE * FIGHTER.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER`.
+- Elite magic spell effects additionally multiply by `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER`, keeping caster body scale and effect scale separately tunable.
+
+# Update: Elite Target Damage And Density
+
+- `combat.js` uses `fighter.isElite` to split damage rules. Elite critical hits deal the greater of the ordinary hit or `COMBAT.CRITICAL_DAMAGE_PERCENT` of max HP; normal critical hits deal `NORMAL_CRITICAL_DAMAGE_MULTIPLIER` times the ordinary hit.
+- Elite attack and movement speed are calculated through `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_SPEED_*` and `MOVE_SPEED_*` constants. Each multiplier is additive: `0` removes its added stack bonus, while `1` applies its configured exponent.
+- Elite direct kills trigger a kill splash at the killed fighter's body position. The splash deals `COMBAT.ELITE_KILL_SPLASH_DAMAGE_PERCENT` of that killed fighter's max HP to living enemies inside `COMBAT.ELITE_KILL_SPLASH_RADIUS`; splash kills are recorded normally, recursive splash chaining is controlled by `ELITE_KILL_SPLASH_CHAIN_ENABLED`, and the optional visual uses square pixel dots rather than smooth circles.
+- Kills still record the attacker/defender and drive match resolution, but `COMBAT.KILL_REWARD_ENABLED = false` prevents heal effects, scale growth, and kill-derived speed multipliers in compressed elite battles.
+- `worldEffects.js` passes an effect type into `applyWorldEffectDamage()`: normal targets retain fixed fire/frost damage, while elite targets take `WORLD_EFFECT.METEOR_DAMAGE_PERCENT` or `FROST_DAMAGE_PERCENT` of max HP.
+- Dense-area target scanning adds each fighter's represented `stackCount` into its tile, preventing compressed armies from disappearing from meteor/frost targeting pressure.

+
+- `FIGHTER.ELITE` contains elite type, stack/appearance/HP/range tuning, attack-damage and speed tuning, and randomized large-team compression settings inside the fighter domain.
+- `COMBAT.CRITICAL_DAMAGE_PERCENT` sets elite critical damage from target max HP, while `COMBAT.NORMAL_CRITICAL_DAMAGE_MULTIPLIER` replaces normal-fighter instant critical kills with multiplied attack damage.

+# Update: Restrained Team Card Styling
+
+- Team score cards preserve their existing content and selection behavior while using a neutral dark card surface.

+- Focus and hover feedback uses subtle inset emphasis without the previous raised motion or strong glow.

+# Update: Battle Notice Rolling Text
+
+- `battleDeathNotice.js` measures the rendered message against the visible notice content width and only enables rolling text when the message would overflow.

+# Update: Elite Compression And Population Display
+
+- Below `FIGHTER.ELITE.RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.MIN_TEAM_SIZE`, `matchSetup.js` converts each complete `FIGHTER.ELITE.STACK_SIZE = 100` block into one elite plan and keeps the remainder as individual normal plans. With the current threshold of `100`, complete blocks are randomized.
+- For starting-zone matches, each elite consumes the assigned spawn point at the start of its represented 100-member block, while remainder normals retain their corresponding individual spawn points.
+- At or above the randomized-compression threshold, each complete 100-member block becomes one elite at probability `0.6`, or expands into 100 normal plans otherwise.
+- If the user-entered total fighter count exceeds `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD`, randomized compression uses `FIGHTER.ELITE.RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.LARGE_BATTLE_ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY` (`0.8` by default) for every eligible team block.
+- Large battles also enforce `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_RENDERED_FIGHTER_LIMIT` by promoting failed normal blocks or normal remainder groups to elite groups after the random roll. This keeps physical sprites bounded while preserving represented `stackCount`.
+- `arenaMatchRuntime.js` keeps the submitted population represented through `stackCount`, while `arenaScoreboard.js` intentionally shows living physical composition as `E : <elite sprites> | N : <normal sprites>`.
+- Trait-generated extra spawning remains enabled for normal fighters only. Elite plans do not apply `spawnMultiplier`, because one aggregate fighter multiplying would multiply the entire represented army.
+- `ArenaScene` uses setup-aware fighter selection so elite plans receive only skins matching `FIGHTER.ELITE.TYPE` (currently `melee` and `magic`), while normal plans keep the existing full selection pool.

+# Elite 캐릭터 구현 문서
+
+## 현재 상태
+
+이 문서는 `major` 브랜치에서 `30d7be41bef258685bf67219f2fcf77334c191f8`를
+기준으로 구현한 elite 압축 전투 규칙을 설명한다. 이전 WIP에서 누락됐던 월드 이펙트
+비율 상수까지 포함해 구현했으며, `npm run build`로 빌드를 검증했다.
+
+## 기능 의도
+
+### 1. 인원 압축
+
+- 참가자 입력은 기존의 `닉네임*N` 형식을 유지한다.
+- `FIGHTER.ELITE.RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.MIN_TEAM_SIZE` 미만에서는 `STACK_SIZE = 100`명마다 elite fighter 1개체를 소환한다.
+- 소규모 팀에서 100명으로 묶이지 않는 나머지는 normal fighter를 1명당 1개체씩 소환한다.
+- 현재 `MIN_TEAM_SIZE = 100` 설정에서는 100명 블록이 있는 입력부터 랜덤 압축 대상이다.
+- 일반 랜덤 압축은 100명 블록마다 `ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY = 0.6`으로 elite 압축 여부를 판정한다.
+- 사용자가 입력한 총 fighter 수가 `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD`보다 크면
+  `LARGE_BATTLE_ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY = 0.8`을 사용해 elite 압축 비율을 높인다.
+  예: `Alice*4000`은 40개 블록 중 장기 평균 32개가 elite 32개체로 압축되어 3,200명을
+  대표하고, 나머지 8개 블록은 normal 800개체로 실제 렌더링된다.
+- 대규모 전투에서는 `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_RENDERED_FIGHTER_LIMIT`도 적용한다.
+  랜덤 판정 후 실제 렌더링 수가 제한을 넘으면 normal 100명 블록이나 remainder 묶음을 elite 그룹으로 추가 승격한다.
+- 팀 카드는 대표 인원 합계 대신 생존 렌더 구성을 `E : <elite 수> | N : <normal 수>`로 표시한다.
+- 사망 통계, 관전 판정, 밀집 구역 표적 선정은 계속 `stackCount` 합계를 사용한다.
+
+### 2. Elite 스탯

+Update: elite magic attack effects now use `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER`
+on top of the normal `FIGHTER.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER`, so spell visuals can be tuned
+separately from the elite fighter body scale.
+
+구현된 상수:

+export const PERFORMANCE = {
+  LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD: 3000,
+  LARGE_BATTLE_RENDERED_FIGHTER_LIMIT: 1200,
+  // ...
+};
+```
+
+elite 계산 의도:
+
+```js
+const attackDamageMultiplier = 1
+  + FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_DAMAGE_BONUS_MULTIPLIER
+    * (stackCount ** FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_DAMAGE_STACK_EXPONENT - 1);
+const visualScale = FIGHTER.SCALE * FIGHTER.ELITE.VISUAL_SCALE_MULTIPLIER;
+const rangeBonus =
+  (visualScale - FIGHTER.SCALE) * (FIGHTER.HITBOX_WIDTH / 2);
+

+damageMax = baseDamageMax * attackDamageMultiplier;
+maxHp = baseMaxHp * stackCount * FIGHTER.ELITE.HP_BONUS_RATIO;

+moveSpeedMultiplier *= 1 + FIGHTER.ELITE.MOVE_SPEED_BONUS_MULTIPLIER
+  * (stackCount ** FIGHTER.ELITE.MOVE_SPEED_STACK_EXPONENT - 1);
+```
+
+- 피해량, 공격속도, 이동속도 보너스는 각각 `FIGHTER.ELITE.*_BONUS_MULTIPLIER`와
+  `*_STACK_EXPONENT`로 조정한다. multiplier `0`은 추가 보너스 없음이고,
+  multiplier `1`은 설정한 stack 곡선을 그대로 적용한다.
+- HP는 압축 인원수와 현재 `FIGHTER.ELITE.HP_BONUS_RATIO = 1` 설정에 따라 선형 비례한다.
+- 이동속도에는 `stackCount` 보정을 적용하지 않는다. 공격 DPS와 생존력만 대표
+  인원에 맞춰 증가시키고, 거대 elite의 전장 이동은 일반 이동 규칙을 유지한다.
+
+### 3. 처치 보너스 비활성화
+
+- elite는 여러 명의 피해량과 체력을 하나의 객체로 대표하므로, 물리 객체 기준의
+  처치 1회에 회복/성장 보너스를 주면 실제 대표 인원 기준으로 보상이 과대 적용된다.
+- `COMBAT.KILL_REWARD_ENABLED = false`를 기본 정책으로 두고, 모든 fighter의
+  처치 회복, 크기 성장, 공격속도/이동속도 보너스, 회복 이펙트를 비활성화한다.
+- 킬로그, 사망 통계, 승패 판정은 계속 동작한다. 기존 보너스 구현은 별도 모드가
+  필요할 경우 명시적으로 재활성화할 수 있도록 코드에 남겨 둔다.
+
+### 4. Elite 대상 피해 이원화
+
+구현된 치명타 상수:
+
+```js
+COMBAT.CRITICAL_DAMAGE_PERCENT = 0.1;
+COMBAT.NORMAL_CRITICAL_DAMAGE_MULTIPLIER = 2;
+```
+
+의도한 판정:
+
+- normal 대상 치명타: 일반 랜덤 피해의 2배를 적용한다.
+- elite 대상 치명타: `maxHp`의 10% 피해를 적용하되, 일반 타격 피해보다 낮아지지 않게 한다.
+- normal 대상 메테오/냉기: 기존 고정 피해인 `WORLD_EFFECT.METEOR_DAMAGE`,
+  `WORLD_EFFECT.FROST_DAMAGE`를 유지한다.
+- elite 대상 메테오: `maxHp`의 40% 피해를 적용한다.
+- elite 대상 냉기: `maxHp`의 20% 피해를 적용한다.
+
+이전 WIP에서 누락됐고 이번 구현에서 보완한 상수:
+
+```js
+WORLD_EFFECT.METEOR_DAMAGE_PERCENT = 0.4;
+WORLD_EFFECT.FROST_DAMAGE_PERCENT = 0.2;
+```
+
+위 두 값은 `src/constants.js`에 정의되어 elite 월드 이펙트 피해 계산에 사용된다.

+- 카메라/렌더/worker 성능 리팩터링 없이 elite 밸런스 상수만 추가했다.
+
+### `src/game/match/matchSetup.js`
+
+- 기존에는 `team.size`만큼 실제 fighter plan을 만들었다.
+- 임계값 미만 팀은 완전한 100명 블록마다 `stackCount: 100`, `isElite: true`
+  plan을 하나 만들고, 나머지는 `stackCount: 1`, `isElite: false` plan으로 유지한다.
+- 임계값 이상 팀은 완전한 100명 블록마다
+  `RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY`로 elite 여부를 판정한다.
+  성공 블록은 `stackCount: 100`인 elite 하나가 되고, 실패 블록은 normal 100개체로 렌더링한다.
+- 전체 입력 fighter 수가 `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD`보다 크면
+  `RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.LARGE_BATTLE_ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY`를 사용한다.
+- 랜덤 압축 결과가 `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_RENDERED_FIGHTER_LIMIT`를 넘으면
+  실패한 normal 100명 블록이나 normal remainder 묶음을 elite 그룹으로 승격해 실제 렌더링 개체 수를 제한한다.
+- 스폰 좌표 배열은 요청 인원 기준으로 생성하며, 각 elite는 대표하는 100명 블록의
+  첫 스폰 지점을 사용하고 나머지 normal은 대응하는 개별 스폰 지점을 사용한다.
+
+### `src/game/match/arenaMatchRuntime.js`
+
+- 팀 크기 동기화는 물리 Sprite 수 대신 `stackCount` 합계를 사용한다.
+- elite plan에는 `spawnMultiplier`를 적용하지 않아 대표 스택 전체가 한 번에
+  복제되지 않게 한다. normal plan의 기존 trait 동작은 유지한다.
+
+### `src/game/fighter/fighterFactory.js`
+
+- `stackCount`, `isElite`를 입력으로 받고 HP, 피해량, 사거리, 외형 크기를 계산한다.
+- elite의 `baseScaleX`/`baseScaleY`도 큰 외형 기준으로 저장한다. 현재는 킬 보너스가
+  꺼져 있지만, 별도 모드에서 다시 활성화할 경우 elite 기준 크기를 보존한다.
+- 기존 Sprite 기반 `createFighter()`에만 적용했으며, elite는 `splitOnDeath`를
+  사용하지 않는다.
+
+### `src/game/fighter/fighterSelection.js`
+
+- `pickFightersForSetups()`는 elite plan에 `FIGHTER.ELITE.TYPE`과 일치하는 스킨만 배정한다.
+- normal plan은 기존과 동일하게 전체 fighter manifest에서 스킨을 선택한다.
+
+### `src/game/combat/combat.js`
+
+- 치명타 판정을 normal 즉사에서 normal 2배 피해 / elite 최대 HP 비례 피해로 바꿨다.
+- 월드 이펙트 함수 인자를 고정 `damage` 값에서 `"meteor"`/`"frost"` 타입으로 바꾸고,
+  대상이 elite인지에 따라 고정 피해와 비율 피해를 나눈다.
+- 공격력 계산은 `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_DAMAGE_*`, 공격속도와 이동속도 계산은
+  `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_SPEED_*` 및 `FIGHTER.ELITE.MOVE_SPEED_*` 상수를 사용한다.
+- instant-spell 공격 이펙트 크기는 상수 기반으로 계산하고, elite magic 스킨이면
+  `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER`를 추가 적용한다.
+- 처치 흐름은 로그와 사망 처리는 유지하면서 `COMBAT.KILL_REWARD_ENABLED`가
+  `false`일 때 `applyKillReward()`를 실행하지 않는다.
+- 기준 커밋에 존재하는 Sprite 전투 경로인 `applyHit()`,
+  `applyWorldEffectDamage()`, `fighterAttackSpeedMultiplier()`만 수정했다.
+
+### `src/game/combat/worldEffects.js`
+
+- 메테오/냉기 낙하 처리에서 effect type을 `applyWorldEffectDamage()`로 전달한다.
+- 밀집 구역 계산은 `stackCount`를 가중치로 사용해 elite가 대표하는 인원을
+  월드 이펙트 표적 선정에 반영한다.
+
+### `src/game/arena/ArenaScene.js`
+
+- 사망 통계 누적 값을 `+ 1` 대신 `+ (fighter.stackCount || 1)`로 바꿨다.
+- elite가 죽으면 압축된 인원 전체가 오늘의 사망 통계에 기록되어야 한다.
+
+### `src/game/arena/arenaSpectatorCamera.js`
+
+- 관전 진입 임계값, 열세 팀 비교, 평균 포커스 좌표는 `stackCount`를 가중해
+  대규모 압축 팀이 시작 즉시 최종 교전으로 오판되지 않게 한다.
+
+### `src/ui/arenaScoreboard.js`
+
+- 살아 있는 elite 객체 수와 normal 객체 수를 각각 계산해
+  `E : <elite> | N : <normal>` 형식으로 표시한다.
+- 예를 들어 `Alice*4000`의 평균 구성은 `E : 32 | N : 800` 부근으로 표시되어
+  실제 렌더링되는 군세 구성을 바로 확인할 수 있다.
+
+### `src/game/fighter/fighterModel.js`, `src/game/fighter/fighterAdapter.js`
+
+- WIP 당시에는 `stackCount`와 `isElite`를 모델 브리지에도 추가했다.
+- 이 두 모듈은 `30d7be4` 이후 대규모 전투 최적화 커밋에서 추가된 구조이므로,
+  이번 롤백 기준에서는 elite 재구현의 선행 조건이 아니다.
+
+## 의도적으로 포함하지 않은 변경
+
+- `fighterLodWorker.js`, `aggregateCombatWorker.js` 제거 또는 대체
+- 모델 전투/LOD/worker 경로 전면 단순화
+- 렌더 캔버스 크기, 카메라 줌, minimap throttle, HUD 파일 분리
+- `agent.md` 전체를 elite 전용 구조로 축약하는 변경
+
+위 항목은 이전 WIP에 섞여 있었지만, elite 캐릭터 기능의 최소 구현과 독립적인
+리팩터링이므로 포함하지 않았다.
+
+## 구현 흐름
+
+1. `src/constants.js`의 `FIGHTER.ELITE`에 elite 타입, 스탯, 공격력/속도, 랜덤 압축 설정을 묶고, 치명타 비율/배수와 메테오/냉기 elite 비율 상수를 추가한다.
+2. `matchSetup.js`에서 소규모 입력은 100명 단위로 압축하고, 대규모 입력은
+   각 100명 블록을 확률적으로 elite 한 개체 또는 normal 100개체로 생성한다.
+3. `fighterFactory.js`의 기존 Sprite 생성 경로에서 elite 외형, HP, 공격력,
+   사거리를 계산한다.
+4. `fighterSelection.js`에서 elite plan에는 근거리 스킨만 할당한다.
+5. `combat.js`와 `worldEffects.js`에서 normal/elite 피해 판정을 나눈다.
+6. `COMBAT.KILL_REWARD_ENABLED = false`로 처치 회복/성장 보너스를 차단한다.
+7. `ArenaScene.js`의 사망 통계는 `stackCount` 합산을 유지하고,
+   `arenaScoreboard.js` 팀 카드는 생존 elite/normal 객체 수를 분리 표시한다.
+8. `agent.md`, `context/core.md`, `context/combat.md`, `context/fighter.md`,
+   `context/match-ui.md`, `context/arena.md`, `todo.md`에 구현 규칙을 기록한다.
+
+## 검증 체크리스트
+
+- `Alice*1`은 이전과 동일하게 normal 1개체만 생성된다.
+- `Alice*99`는 normal 99개체로 생성된다.
+- 현재 임계값 `100`에서는 `Alice*100` 이상의 완전한 블록이 `ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY`에 따라 elite 또는 normal 100개체가 되는지 확인한다.
+- `Alice*4000` 표본 반복에서 elite 수가 평균 32개, normal 수가 평균 800개에 수렴하고,
+  모든 plan의 `stackCount` 합계가 매번 4,000인지 확인한다.
+- 팀 카드가 같은 구성에 대해 `E : <elite 수> | N : <normal 수>` 형식으로 표시되는지 확인한다.
+- elite HP/공격력/공격속도/사거리/외형이 상수와 `stackCount` 계산식에 맞는다.
+- normal 치명타가 기존 즉사가 아닌 설정한 고정 배수 피해로 동작하는지 의도와 다시 대조한다.
+- elite 치명타, 메테오, 냉기 피해가 각각 최대 HP 10%, 40%, 20% 기준으로 계산된다.
+- elite 사망 시 사망 통계가 `stackCount`만큼 증가한다.
+- 어떤 fighter도 처치로 회복하거나 커지거나 공격/이동 속도 보너스를 얻지 않는다.
+- elite에는 Slime의 `spawnMultiplier` 및 `splitOnDeath`가 적용되지 않고,
+  normal fighter에는 기존 trait 동작이 유지되는지 확인한다.
+- elite plan에 선택된 스킨 타입은 항상 `FIGHTER.ELITE.TYPE`과 일치하고 normal plan은 기존 전체 스킨 풀을 사용하는지 확인한다.
+- 밀집 구역 월드 이펙트 표적 산정은 elite를 `stackCount`만큼 가중한다.
+- `npm run build`를 통과시키고 실제 전투에서 normal/elite 양쪽 흐름을 수동 확인한다.

+    - Compressed each complete 100-member block in a smaller `nickname*N` team into one elite (`stackCount = 100`) and preserved the remaining members as individual normal fighters (`*101 = 1 elite + 1 normal`, `*199 = 1 elite + 99 normal`, `*200 = 2 elite`).
+    - Added centralized elite scale/HP/range and critical/meteor/frost percentage-damage constants; elite damage and attack speed now scale with `sqrt(stackCount)`.
+    - Weighted spectator thresholds, focus centers, and dense-area world-effect targeting by `stackCount` so compressed armies continue to influence viewing and hazard selection by their represented size.
+    - Kept elite movement speed unchanged and disabled Slime spawn/split reproduction on elite representatives to avoid multiplying an entire compressed army from a per-unit trait.
+    - Verified production build with `npm run build`.
+54. Disable kill rewards for elite-compressed combat (completed)
+    - Added `COMBAT.KILL_REWARD_ENABLED = false` and skipped the heal/growth reward path after kills while retaining kill logs, death statistics, and match resolution.
+    - Updated the battle-tip message and documentation so the UI no longer advertises inactive heal or growth behavior.
+    - Preserved the legacy reward function behind the explicit toggle for a future non-compressed mode.
+55. Fighter-domain elite configuration and melee-only elite spawns (completed)
+    - Nested elite stack, appearance, HP, and range tuning under `FIGHTER.ELITE` so fighter-specific settings are keyed within the fighter domain.
+    - Added setup-aware skin selection so elite plans use only melee fighter profiles while normal plans continue to use the complete manifest.
+    - Preserved the current elite HP ratio setting while moving the configuration.
+56. Configurable elite speed and randomized large-team compression (completed)
+    - Added `FIGHTER.ELITE.TYPE`, attack/movement speed constants, and randomized compression tuning under the fighter domain.
+    - Kept fixed compression below the configured threshold, while eligible teams roll each 100-member block against a configured 60% elite probability.
+    - Preserved represented population by leaving failed elite blocks as normal fighters; before large-battle probability tuning, a `*4000` team targeted an average of `24 elite` representing 2,400 fighters plus `1,600 normal` fighters.
+57. Elite and normal composition in team cards (completed)
+    - Replaced the represented-population total in each team card with living physical composition in `E : <elite> | N : <normal>` format.
+    - Kept `stackCount` population weighting for combat-side statistics and targeting while exposing the actual rendered mix in the HUD.
+    - Adjusted desktop and mobile team card sizing so large normal counts remain readable.
+58. Configurable elite attack-damage bonus (completed)
+    - Added elite attack-damage bonus multiplier and stack-exponent settings beside existing elite speed settings.
+    - Changed elite bonus multiplier semantics so `0` disables an added stack bonus and `1` applies the configured stack curve, consistently for damage and speeds.
+59. Configurable elite magic attack-effect scale (completed)
+    - Added `FIGHTER.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER` and `FIGHTER.ELITE.ATTACK_EFFECT_SCALE_MULTIPLIER`.
+    - Updated instant-spell attack effects so normal magic effects use the base multiplier and elite magic effects apply the elite multiplier on top.
+    - Updated elite/combat/context documentation for magic-enabled elite skin selection and effect-scale tuning.
+60. Large-battle elite block probability (completed)
+    - Added `FIGHTER.ELITE.RANDOMIZED_COMPRESSION.LARGE_BATTLE_ELITE_BLOCK_PROBABILITY = 0.8`.
+    - Updated match setup so randomized elite compression uses the large-battle probability when the user-entered total fighter count is greater than `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_FIGHTER_THRESHOLD`.
+    - Kept the probability under `FIGHTER.ELITE` while reusing the existing performance threshold constant.
+61. Remove zoom-visible battlefield name labels (completed)
+    - Removed pooled Phaser text labels from fighter HUD slots.
+    - Kept pooled health bars for selected and zoom-visible fighters while relying on team-colored shadows for identity.
+    - Updated HUD documentation to describe health-bar-only field HUDs.
+62. Large-battle rendered fighter budget (completed)
+    - Added `PERFORMANCE.LARGE_BATTLE_RENDERED_FIGHTER_LIMIT = 1200`.
+    - Changed match setup to build randomized elite rosters first, then promote failed normal 100-member blocks or normal remainder groups until physical fighter plans fit within the large-battle render budget.
+    - Preserved represented `stackCount` totals so statistics, spectator weighting, and world-effect density still reflect the full requested population.
