NPCs can now optionally specify race and class in their TOML. When
omitted, race is randomly selected from non-hidden races and class is
determined by the race's default_class or picked randomly from
compatible non-hidden classes. Race/class are re-rolled on each
respawn for NPCs without fixed values, so killing the barkeep may
bring back a different race next time.
New hidden content (excluded from character creation):
- Beast race: for animals (rats, etc.) with feral stats and no
equipment slots
- Peasant class: weak default for humanoid NPCs
- Creature class: default for beasts/animals
Existing races gain default_class fields (humanoids → peasant,
beast → creature, dragon → random compatible). Look and examine
commands now display NPC race and class.
Made-with: Cursor
- Add trait-based DB layer (db.rs) with SQLite backend for easy future swapping
- Player state persisted to SQLite: stats, inventory, equipment, room position
- Returning players skip chargen and resume where they left off
- Replace boolean hostile flag with 5-tier attitude system (friendly/neutral/wary/aggressive/hostile)
- Per-player NPC attitudes stored in DB, shift on kills with faction propagation
- Add character creation flow (chargen.rs) with data-driven races and classes from TOML
- Add turn-based combat system (combat.rs) with XP, leveling, and NPC respawn
- Add commands: take, drop, inventory, equip, use, examine, talk, attack, flee, stats
- Add world data: 5 races, 4 classes, hostile NPCs (rat, thief), new items

Rust-based MUD server accepting SSH connections on port 2222.
Players connect with any SSH client, get dropped into a
data-driven world loaded from TOML files at startup.
Binary systems: SSH handling (russh), command parser, game state,
multiplayer broadcast, ANSI terminal rendering.
Data layer: world/ directory with regions, rooms, NPCs, and objects
defined as individual TOML files — no recompile needed to modify.
Commands: look, movement (n/s/e/w/u/d), say, who, help, quit.
