Day one: spellslinger (Exile), strict mode, 2026-10-24

A headless client created a new character through the real protocol and played it from its starting zone towards level 15: quests, combat with the class's abilities, loot, equipment, public events and path missions. Every server packet was checked by the game client's own message parser. Synthetic data from a test run; see docs/research/2026-10-11-day-one.md for the method.
