1. Run 10,000 randomized combat target acquisition queries in Node.js with randomized monster locations and fog states. Verify 0 entities on fogged or unexplored tiles are ever returned.
2. Verify zero heap memory growth during 5,000 rapid vision updates.
3. Test Base64 bit-packing on 120x90 maps with corrupted and invalid inputs.
4. Execute and verify tests:
   - `pytest tests/unit/test_fog_and_minimap.py -v`
   - `pytest tests/e2e/test_poe2_map_system_e2e.py -v`

Provide an explicit verdict: APPROVE or REQUEST_CHANGES in handoff.md and notify parent when complete.
