An adventure copies its scenario's plot text and story cards at creation so
later authoring never disturbs a story in progress. This is the explicit
opt-out, alongside the existing per-script "Sync from library".
GET /adventures/{id}/refresh returns a plan (per-field old/new diff, card
add/update/remove, world-state added/removed paths, and any ${...} answers
still needed); POST applies it under the turn lock so it can't race a
generating turn. The Plot panel shows the plan in a confirm modal first.
Overwrites the plot fields and scenario-derived cards. Deliberately left
alone: the opening `start` action (the story is built on it, and it is baked
into memories and the summary), the adventure's own title and summary,
player-authored story cards, and the live value of every stat the schema
still defines.
Two enablers were needed:
- adventures.placeholders (migration 32). ${...} answers were used once at
creation and discarded, so re-copying scenario text would have re-injected
a literal ${Hero}. Adventures predating the column re-prompt once via the
existing modal, then the answers are saved.
- story_cards.source_ref (migration 33), "card:<id>" / "npc:<key>", NULL for
player-authored. Adventure cards had no link back to their source, so a
rename read as delete-plus-add and player cards would have been clobbered.
Legacy cards name-match once, then adopt the ref.
World state goes through a new worldstate.reconcile(): keep values the schema
still defines, add missing ones at their initial, drop removed ones and their
cooldown bookkeeping. Not instantiate(), which would heal the player to full
and wipe their milestones.
The confirm modal is portalled to <body>: .side-panel's panel-in animation
has fill mode `both`, which makes it the containing block for position:fixed
descendants, so an overlay rendered in place was trapped in the 420px panel
and clipped by its overflow.
14 new tests in backend/tests/test_scenario_refresh.py; 85 pass.

The AI would sometimes stop emitting the `state` delta block once it missed
a turn. Two compounding causes: the emit rule sat only in the system block
(far from where the model generates), and the block was stripped before
storage — so every replayed history turn looked blockless, biasing the model
by imitation to stop emitting too.
- EMIT_REMINDER: a one-line reminder appended last in the prompt (strongest
recency slot), gated on has_ws and counted against the token budget.
- render_delta_block + _history_text: re-attach each past AI turn's own delta
block in replayed history (reconstructed from the stored snapshot delta), so
the model always sees its emit format. Action.text stays clean, so UI,
embeddings, and card/NPC trigger-matching are unaffected. History budgeting
counts the augmented text so it can't overflow.
Undo/retry untouched (read the separate world_state_before column). 46 tests.

Players/authors can now directly correct the live values of stats the
schema already defines (health, trust, flags, milestones, etc.) without
waiting for the AI to emit a delta. New apply_override() sets values
absolutely rather than adding deltas, and — unlike the AI-facing
apply_delta() — bypasses cooldown/max_delta_per_turn and lets
milestones be un-set, since this is a deliberate correction rather
than a turn to police. Exposed via PUT /adventures/{id}/world-state
and an edit toggle in the World State drawer. Also fixes the
schema-editor stat-kind dropdown and free-text initial-value input
to size consistently with the numeric fields next to them.

Replace the single shared `npc` stat template (+ npc_card_types) with an
`npcs` section: each NPC keyed by a stable id, carrying its own name,
description, trigger keys, and its OWN stats block. The AI addresses NPCs
as npc.<id>.<stat> (id shown in context), which also fixes the old
card-id-guessing problem. On adventure creation each NPC auto-creates a
story card (name/keys/desc) for lore + in-scene detection, unless a
same-name card already exists. All NPCs instantiate up front.
- engine: npcs instantiate/apply/render/reference, npc_name/npc_triggers
- builder: _visible_npcs matches each NPC's own keys
- create_adventure: auto-create story cards from npcs
- WorldStateDrawer: render defined NPCs with their own stats + desc tooltip
- demo seed: Gwen (health/trust) + Bandit Leader (health/aggression)
- tests updated (34 pass); no new migration (npcs lives in stat_schema JSON)

Structured world/player/NPC stats, two-way flags, and sticky milestones
per scenario (stat_schema). The AI proposes a per-turn delta; a Python
engine referees it (clamp to min/max, per-turn cap, cooldown, counters).
Band word-labels plus a fixed stat guide (descriptions + full ranges)
keep the model grounded. World State drawer + Insights delta report;
undo/retry roll it back via the Phase 11 snapshot pattern.
- migrations 26-28 (scenarios.stat_schema, adventures.world_state,
actions.world_state_before); all nullable, additive, safe on existing rows
- migration 29 raises the default context budget 4096 -> 16384
(custom values preserved)
- seeded demo scenario 04-rpg-world-state.json (Bandit Camp)
- 19 new tests (33 total pass)
