Replace immediate combat with a 3-second tick engine that resolves
actions, NPC AI, status effects, respawns, and passive regeneration.
Players queue combat actions (attack/defend/flee/use) that resolve on
the next tick. Any NPC can now be attacked — non-hostile targets incur
attitude penalties instead of being blocked. Status effects persist in
the database and continue ticking while players are offline.
Made-with: Cursor
- Add is_admin flag to player DB schema with migration for existing databases
- Add server_settings table for key-value config (registration_open, etc.)
- Add 10 in-game admin commands: promote, demote, kick, teleport, registration,
announce, heal, info, setattitude, list — all gated behind admin flag
- Registration gate: new players rejected when registration_open=false,
existing players can still reconnect
- Add mudtool binary with CLI mode (players/settings/attitudes CRUD) and
interactive ratatui TUI with tabbed interface for database management
- Restructure to lib.rs + main.rs so mudtool shares DB code with server
- Add TESTING.md with comprehensive pre-commit checklist and smoke test script
- Stats and who commands show [ADMIN] badge; help shows admin section for admins
