# BRIEFING — 2026-10-01T03:14:33Z

## Mission
Apply remediation fixes for Level 100 EXP clamp, Level 100 death handling, corpse overkill in CombatEngine, evasion timestamp default, and add comprehensive unit tests to pass all verification gates.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: teamwork_preview_worker
- Roles: implementer, qa, specialist
- Working directory: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\worker_m2_progression_2
- Original parent: 6f4a2aa2-4315-4660-8cb7-8352a7220c95
- Milestone: M2 Iteration 2

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- File Ownership:
  * `server/world/level_progression_service.py`
  * `server/world/combat_engine.py`
  * `tests/unit/test_level_progression_service.py`
  * `tests/e2e/test_level_progression_e2e.py`
- Mandatory Integrity: No hardcoding test results, dummy facades, or fabricating verification outputs.
- Quantitative code length limits:
  * File logic <= 350 lines (soft cap), <= 500 lines (hard cap)
  * Function length <= 50 lines
- Verification requirements:
  * `python .agents/teamwork/challenger_m2_progression_1/challenge_level_progression.py` (100% pass)
  * `python .agents/teamwork/challenger_m2_progression_2/challenge_combat_progression.py` (100% pass)
  * `pytest tests/unit/test_level_progression_service.py -v`
  * `pytest tests/e2e/test_level_progression_e2e.py -v`
  * `python -m mypy --explicit-package-bases --follow-imports=silent server/world/level_progression_types.py server/world/level_progression_service.py server/world/combat_engine.py tests/unit/test_level_progression_service.py`
  * `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict`
  * `python tools/security/run_independent_security_audit.py`
