Scope & Review Assignment:
Review Milestone 2 (Character Animation & Visceral Combat Feel Engine) implemented by worker_m2_1_gen3.
Reference artifacts:
- PROJECT.md at `c:\Projects\FreeExile\PROJECT.md`
- SCOPE.md at `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_3\SCOPE.md`
- Worker handoff: `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\worker_m2_1_gen3\handoff.md`

Your Verification Tasks:
1. Examine combat feel and evasion mechanics:
   - `client/webapp/js/engine/combat_feel_engine.js` (verify micro hit-stop 33-66ms, NaN dt safety guard, pop-in bounce scale 1.6 -> 1.0 for normal and 2.0 -> 1.2 for crit, directional screen shake matrix [2.5, 8.5] / [0.12, 0.45]s).
   - `client/webapp/js/engine/combat_skills.js` (verify animation cancelling in doDodge: cancels wind_up/action lock; hit-stop invocation on hits; weapon swing triggers; stays <= 500 hard cap).
2. Run builds / tests:
   - `pytest tests/unit/test_m2_animation_and_combat_feel.py -v`
   - `pytest tests/e2e/test_poe2_ui_animation_vfx_e2e.py -v`
   - `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict`

Provide an unambiguous verdict: APPROVE or REQUEST_CHANGES.
