Players can now paste the full text of a freely available adventure
when creating a game, and the DM will follow it instead of inventing
its own plot/NPCs/locations. Reuses the existing rulebook RAG
pipeline (chunking, local embedding) rather than injecting the raw
text into every turn, since real adventure modules range from a few
pages to hundreds — far beyond what fits in a prompt.
- New adventure_chunks table (game-scoped, unlike the global
rulebook_chunks) + Game.adventure_text storing the raw source.
- ingest_adventure_text() chunks/embeds synchronously during
POST /api/games when adventure_text is non-empty.
- build_adventure_rag_block() retrieves by similarity to the latest
player message, scoped to game_id — plus always includes chunk 0
(the adventure's opening) regardless of the query, since early
Session-0 messages rarely resemble the adventure's actual hook and
pure similarity search could miss the beginning entirely.
- System prompt instructs the DM to follow provided adventure
excerpts strictly, deviating only when players clearly go off-script.
- Frontend: optional adventure-text field in the game creation form,
a has_adventure flag surfaced as a small badge on the game card and
session header.
Verified with an isolated two-game test that chunks/retrieval never
leak across games (the critical failure mode here), and live against
x.ai: a custom-written one-shot's specific NPCs, location, and hook
appeared verbatim in the DM's opening scene instead of invented ones.

Games now have a status/ended_reason pair. The DM can call the new
end_game tool when the story reaches a real conclusion (victory,
defeat, or a resolved one-shot), and the backend independently ends
the game whenever a character's HP drops to 0 or below, regardless of
whether the DM narrates it. The frontend shows a banner and a
"Beendet" badge once a game ends.
HP moves from the freeform combat_stats bag into dedicated
current_hp/max_hp columns on Character, since reliably detecting 0 HP
requires a real integer rather than parsing strings like "3/10" out of
an LLM-authored key/value dict. Also fixed combat_stats to fully
replace on each upsert instead of merging, matching its documented
contract — the merge was leaving stale keys (old HP/TP text) behind
after the model stopped sending them.

Broadcast a "rolling" WS event when the DM invokes roll_dice, and show
a cycling dice-emoji animation with the roll notation in the chat while
waiting for the result, instead of just the generic typing indicator.
Also split the dice-roll prompt rule into skill/save checks (DC shown
to the player) vs. attack rolls (AC stays secret but must still be
labeled as a roll), and made the "always roll yourself, never ask the
player to roll" instruction unconditional.

The server broadcasts a "typing" event to the whole room right when
it starts the DM turn, and broadcasts turn failures to everyone too
(previously only the sender saw them, which would've left other
players' indicators stuck forever). The frontend shows a pulsing
"Dungeon Master schreibt …" line that clears once the real reply or
an error arrives.

RAG: switch Postgres to pgvector, chunk and embed the three D&D
rulebooks locally via sentence-transformers, and retrieve relevant
excerpts per DM turn (query = latest player message) to ground the
system prompt. Retrieval runs off the event loop and is capped by a
relevance threshold and a max character budget so it can't blow up
context size or cost.
Game setup wizard: creating a game now opens a short chat where the
DM asks about genre, length, and the player's experience level, then
proposes a name and description via a tool call. The player can edit
both before creating the game. Stateless endpoint — the frontend
carries the conversation, no DB needed since the game doesn't exist
yet.

FastAPI + Postgres backend with fastapi-users auth, games/characters
CRUD, and a WebSocket chat endpoint where an x.ai Grok DM narrates
play, rolls dice, and maintains character sheets via tool calls.
React + Tailwind frontend covers registration/login, game list and
creation, participation-code join flow, character viewer, and a
real-time chat session view. Docker Compose skeleton (Postgres +
backend) included; Caddy/frontend container wiring is deferred to
the deploy milestone.
