Task:
Perform a rigorous, independent 3-phase victory audit of the Character Stat Aggregator system:
1. Phase 1 - Scope & Timeline Verification:
   Verify that all deliverables cover the requirements:
   - R1: Stat Aggregator Core (`CharacterStatAggregator` in `server/stats/stat_aggregator.py`, `stat_types.py` combining base stats, item affixes from `inventory_service.py`, and Meridian passives from `meridian_service.py`, supporting flat, percentage multipliers, tag-based filters, and conditional modifiers).
   - R2: Formula Persistence in Database (`FormulaPersistenceService` in `server/stats/formula_persistence.py` saving serialized JSON/AST structure into SQLite database table `character_stat_calculations` for historical auditing).
   - R3: Server Engine Integration (Wired into `server/world/server_engine_loop.py` in `register_player`, initializing `CombatActor` with fully aggregated stats instead of hardcoded base values).
2. Phase 2 - Cheating, Facade & Anti-Tampering Audit:
   Verify genuine implementation without stubs, facades, mock cheating, or dummy returns. Verify calculations are mathematical and dynamic.
3. Phase 3 - Independent Test & Hygiene Execution:
   Independently execute and verify:
   - `pytest tests/unit/test_character_stat_aggregator.py -v` (100% pass)
   - `pytest tests/unit/test_server_engine_loop.py -v` (100% pass)
   - `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict` (0 Hard Cap violations, exit code 0)
   - Verify SQLite formula persistence generates valid JSON AST records in `data/character_stat_formulas.db`.
