## Task Summary
- **What to build**: Fix CSS relative path for skill icon atlas; add fallback routing in serve_web_pc.py for `/assets/` and `/web_pc/css/assets/`; verify 0 page/console errors in headless browser.
- **Success criteria**: 0 console errors (no 404), skill icons render properly with naturalWidth > 0 or background loaded, all unit & E2E tests pass, hygiene checks pass.
- **Interface contracts**: client/web_pc/
- **Code layout**: client/web_pc/css/pc_hud.css, tools/serve_web_pc.py

## Key Decisions Made
- Updated `client/web_pc/css/pc_hud.css:243` to use `url('../../webapp/assets/skills/martial_skills_atlas.png')`.
- Added prefix fallback routing in `tools/serve_web_pc.py` for `/web_pc/css/assets/`, `/web_pc/assets/`, and `/assets/` directly to `WEBAPP_DIR / "assets" / sub`.
- Confirmed zero console errors, zero page errors, and verified `#skill-q .skill-icon` image loads with `naturalWidth: 1024, naturalHeight: 1024`.
