Task:
Build a Character Stat Aggregator system for the server that calculates and aggregates stats from equipped items, the passive tree (Meridian), and base stats. It must support flat modifiers, percentage modifiers, tag-based modifiers, and conditional modifiers. The system must also persist the calculation formulas and logic into a database for future reference and auditing.

Requirements:
- R1. Stat Aggregator Core:
  Implement a `CharacterStatAggregator` in the server backend that correctly computes final attributes by combining base stats, item affixes from `inventory_service.py`, and passive stats from `meridian_service.py`. It must accurately handle flat additions, percentage multipliers, tag-based filters, and conditional modifiers.
- R2. Formula Persistence in Database:
  The aggregator must output its calculation steps and formulas as a serialized JSON/AST structure, and save them into a local SQLite database table. This allows for historical auditing of exactly how a player's stats were calculated.
- R3. Server Engine Integration:
  Wire the new `CharacterStatAggregator` into `server_engine_loop.py` so that when a player joins a map (`register_player`), their `CombatActor` is initialized with the fully aggregated stats instead of hardcoded base values.

Acceptance Criteria:
- Testing & Verification:
  * A dedicated unit test or test script is provided that mocks a player with multiple items and passive nodes, and asserts that the final calculated stats exactly match the expected mathematical result.
  * The test suite verifies that the calculation formula is successfully written to the SQLite database in valid JSON format.
  * Running `server_engine_loop.py` tests or a manual verification script shows the `CombatActor` being instantiated with the aggregated stats rather than the default `50.0` attack damage.

Directives:
Follow all studio directives in AGENTS.md and GEMINI.md, maintain your BRIEFING.md and progress.md in your working directory, coordinate the team, verify all acceptance criteria thoroughly (including hygiene and TDD gates), and report back when finished with handoff.md.

Execute the task per FreeExile engineering directives:
1. Stat Aggregator Core (CharacterStatAggregator) combining base stats, item affixes (inventory_service.py), and Meridian passives (meridian_service.py), supporting flat, percent, tag-based, and conditional modifiers.
2. Formula persistence in SQLite database table (serialized JSON/AST structure for historical auditing).
3. Server engine loop integration (server_engine_loop.py register_player CombatActor stats).
4. Dedicated unit test suite verifying calculations, formula SQLite persistence, and server engine loop integration.
5. Follow all directives in AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, maintain your progress.md and BRIEFING.md, coordinate specialists, and deliver handoff.md when finished.
