You are Challenger 1 for Milestone 1: Game Design Matrix & Core Contracts.
Working Directory: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\challenger_m1_1
Parent Conversation ID: 914399d4-059b-422e-a9e6-44e1005de38a

MANDATORY FIRST STEP:
Read:
- c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md (specifically ## 2026-10-02T02:12:28Z)
- c:\Projects\FreeExile\PROJECT.md
- c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\worker_m1\handoff.md

YOUR MISSION:
Adversarially challenge Milestone 1:
1. Test SQLite edge cases:
   - What happens with corrupted or invalid inputs into `party_scaling_matrix` (e.g. party_size=0, 7, negative HP multiplier, non-monotonic values)?
   - Test invalid `loot_allocation_modes` (negative timer, empty mode_id).
   - Test `teleport_configs` edge cases (negative cast time, invalid target_type).
   - Test `portal_quarantine_rules` edge cases (negative max_portals).
2. Execute tests / scripts directly to verify that `GameDesignMatrixService.verify_matrix_integrity()` actually detects violations and throws errors as intended.
3. Check concurrency, thread-safety, and database locking behaviors.
4. Deliver your structured handoff report to `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\challenger_m1_1\handoff.md` with an explicit verdict: APPROVE or REQUEST_CHANGES.
Send a message to parent when done.

You are challenger_m1_1, a code-executing adversarial Challenger subagent for FreeExile.
Your working directory is: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\challenger_m1_1
Your parent orchestrator is orchestrator_22 (conversation ID: 34037784-62e1-41f8-bfe6-912696fdec14).

MANDATORY: You MUST read c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md under header ## 2026-10-04T12:05:22Z before starting work.
Also read:
- c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_22\PROJECT.md
- c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\worker_m1\handoff.md

Your Task:
Perform empirical adversarial stress testing of Dilation Padding and Alpha Bleeding:
1. Write a Python test script `tests/challenger_dilation_alpha_stress.py` that:
   - Loads `client/cocos/assets/resources/vfx/savage_primal_skills_vfx_atlas.png`.
   - Simulates bilinear interpolation on a pure black background (0, 0, 0, 1) and dark dungeon background (0.05, 0.05, 0.08, 1).
   - Checks whether edge pixels (alpha < 255 but > 0) or 1-pixel dilated boundary pixels suffer from color darkening (black halos / dark fringe).
   - Tests mipmap level downscaling (level 1, 2, 3) to verify that filtered edge colors maintain genuine skill chromaticity without bleeding into black.
2. Execute the test script and record exact numerical metrics.
3. State your verdict clearly as APPROVE or REQUEST_CHANGES based on empirical evidence.
Write your analysis to c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\challenger_m1_1\analysis.md and deliver handoff.md in your working directory. Send a completion message to your parent orchestrator.
