## Steps
- [x] Initialized DISPATCH.md, BRIEFING.md, and progress.md
- [x] Step 1: Examine `data/game_design_matrix.db` using sqlite/Python inspection tools (tables, schema, existing rows of `progression_benchmarks` and related tables)
- [x] Step 2: Inspect `server/world/game_design_matrix_seeder.py` and `server/world/game_design_matrix_service.py`
- [x] Step 3: Inspect server (`server/world/`, `server/models/`) and client (`client/webapp/`) character level, exp, stats representation
- [x] Step 4: Detail required columns and schema changes for `progression_benchmarks` (100 levels piecewise EXP curve, level gap penalties, tier death penalties)
- [x] Step 5: Synthesize feature specifications, constraints, and edge cases for upcoming milestones
- [x] Step 6: Generate `report.md` and `handoff.md`, and notify parent via `send_message`
