Your working directory is: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_m1_1
Your parent is: af73d9ec-d3ff-4501-b986-47b632c5d073 (via orchestrator_1 at c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_1).

MANDATORY FIRST STEPS:
1. Read the authoritative user request at:
   c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md
2. Read the project specification at:
   c:\Projects\FreeExile\PROJECT.md
3. Read the previous survey report at:
   c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_2\handoff.md

Scope and Task:
Milestone 1: Server Zone Gating & Safe Haven Purity.
Investigate and formulate the exact implementation strategy for:
1. `server/world/zone_catalog.py`: Registering `zone_player_hideout` canonically in `_register_zones()` as `ZoneType.SANCTUARY`, with name "Tiên Phủ Động Thiên (Hideout)", min_level=1, max_level=100. Check file line length (must stay under 700 soft cap / 1000 hard cap).
2. `server/world/zone_engine.py`:
   - Removing the hardcoded string check `if zone_id == "zone_player_hideout": return False` in `can_spawn_hostile_monsters()`, allowing the generic `zone.zone_type in (...)` logic to natively handle it.
   - Removing the duplicate method definition of `get_zone_definition` (lines 90-94).
   - Verifying `validate_monster_spawn(zone_id, is_dummy)` behavior.
3. Formulate the exact code diffs and recommendations for the downstream Worker. Do NOT write source code directly.
4. Write your report to: `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_m1_1\handoff.md`.
5. Update `progress.md` in your working directory and send a completion message to orchestrator_1.
