Spent 6hrs debugging: nobody could die in combat. HP hit 0 → next attack "healed" them back.

The bug? ...target spread read maxHitPoints instead of hitPoints. TSC was happy. Tests green.

One line. Six hours 💀

Bug fixed → Goblin dead( but also Groknak 😭)

Perfect for lockstep netcode & replay systems.
