- Project root: c:\Projects\FreeExile

Mission & Requirements:
UX/UI modernization, character animation rework, PoE2 skill VFX system, comprehensive skill asset catalog, and 120 FPS optimization.

Current State from Predecessor:
- Milestone 1 (Modern ARPG UX/UI & Controls): DONE and fully certified.
- Milestone 2 (Character Animation & Visceral Combat Feel Engine): Fully remediated by worker_m2_2_gen3 (89/89 challenger adversarial tests pass, 30/30 M2 unit pass, 42/42 E2E pass, 0 hygiene violations). Ready for Iteration 2 Gate certification.
- E2E Test Suite: 42/42 tests passing in `tests/e2e/test_poe2_ui_animation_vfx_e2e.py`.

Immediate Next Steps:
1. Initialize your BRIEFING.md, plan.md, and progress.md in your working directory.
2. Dispatch Milestone 2 Iteration 2 Gate (Reviewers, Challengers, Forensic Auditor) to verify the remediation and mark Milestone 2 DONE in PROJECT.md.
3. Decompose and dispatch Milestone 3 (PoE2 Hybrid Skill VFX Engine & Visual Telegraphs):
   - 4-stage multiphase VFX pipeline in `vfx_renderer.js`: Charge -> Trajectory -> Impact -> Lingering ground decals.
   - 5 elemental presets in `vfx_presets_catalog.js`: Fractal Lightning, Metallic Blood, Shattered Ice, Toxic Smoke, Earthen Fissures.
   - Ground telegraph decals in `telegraph_renderer.js`: Cones, circles, rectangular beams with wind-up progress tracking.
   - Dispatch M3 Explorers -> Worker -> Gate.
4. Milestone 4: Comprehensive Skill Asset Catalog & Object Pooling (`skill_catalog.js`, `vfx_pool.js`).
5. Milestone 5: 100% E2E Pass, Tier 5 Adversarial Coverage, 120 FPS performance budget verification, and strict hygiene audit.
6. Maintain strict compliance with GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, line length caps (<= 350 soft / <= 500 hard), zero memory leaks, and 120 FPS ProMotion budget.
7. When all milestones are complete, run final verification, compile handoff.md, and report victory to the Sentinel.
