# combat.ludic — the shared damage pipeline (#57 foundation).
#
# One place every family routes hits through, so buffs/armor/crits/lifesteal are
# written once as event listeners rather than re-invented per genre. The pipeline
# is the honest no-closure realisation of lever 4 (events) + lever 6 (a mutable
# hook):
#
#   1. mitigate the raw amount by the target's effective defence (Stats.total);
#   2. publish the pending amount and emit `cancellable DamageAboutToApply` —
#      a listener may veto the hit (cancel) or *rewrite the number* by calling
#      Combat.set_amount(n) (the mutable channel, since `emit` only returns the
#      cancelled flag);
#   3. apply the final amount to Stats.hp, emit `Damaged`, and emit `Died` when hp
#      reaches zero.
#
# Determinism: integer arithmetic, fixed listener order, no wall-clock — a hit
# replays identically. Combat never moves or despawns bodies itself; the game
# reacts to `Died` (respawn, ragdoll, loot) so the policy stays with the game.
