feat: Implement Phase 5 Quest System (100% complete)

Add YAML-driven quest system with context-aware offering:

Core Implementation:
- Quest data models (Quest, QuestObjective, QuestReward, QuestTriggers)
- QuestService for YAML loading and caching
- QuestEligibilityService with level, location, and probability filtering
- LoreService stub (MockLoreService) ready for Phase 6 Weaviate integration

Quest Content:
- 5 example quests across difficulty tiers (2 easy, 2 medium, 1 hard)
- Quest-centric design: quests define their NPC givers
- Location-based probability weights for natural quest offering

AI Integration:
- Quest offering section in npc_dialogue.j2 template
- Response parser extracts [QUEST_OFFER:quest_id] markers
- AI naturally weaves quest offers into NPC conversations

API Endpoints:
- POST /api/v1/quests/accept - Accept quest offer
- POST /api/v1/quests/decline - Decline quest offer
- POST /api/v1/quests/progress - Update objective progress
- POST /api/v1/quests/complete - Complete quest, claim rewards
- POST /api/v1/quests/abandon - Abandon active quest
- GET /api/v1/characters/{id}/quests - List character quests
- GET /api/v1/quests/{quest_id} - Get quest details

Frontend:
- Quest tracker sidebar with HTMX integration
- Quest offer modal for accept/decline flow
- Quest detail modal for viewing progress
- Combat service integration for kill objective tracking

Testing:
- Unit tests for Quest models and serialization
- Integration tests for full quest lifecycle
- Comprehensive test coverage for eligibility service

Documentation:
- Reorganized docs into /docs/phases/ structure
- Added Phase 5-12 planning documents
- Updated ROADMAP.md with new structure

-## Flask Routes
-
-```python
-# Main routes
-GET  /play/session/<session_id>              # Main play screen
-GET  /play/session/<id>/character-panel      # Refresh character stats

-```
-
-## CSS Theme
-
-```css
-/* Dark fantasy theme matching existing */
---play-bg-primary: #1a1a2a;
---play-bg-secondary: #2a2a3a;
---play-border: #4a4a5a;
-
-/* Action tiers */
---action-free: #3b82f6;      /* Blue */
---action-premium: #8b5cf6;   /* Purple */
---action-elite: #f59e0b;     /* Gold */
-
-/* Resource bars */
---hp-bar-fill: #ef4444;
---mp-bar-fill: #3b82f6;
-```
-
-## Action Button Organization
-
-**Free Tier (Blue):**
-1. Ask Locals for Information (town/tavern)
-2. Explore the Area (wilderness/dungeon)
-3. Search for Supplies (any) - 2 turn cooldown
-4. Rest and Recover (town/tavern/safe) - 3 turn cooldown
-
-**Premium Tier (Purple):**
-5. Investigate Suspicious Activity (any)
-6. Follow a Lead (any)
-7. Make Camp (wilderness) - 5 turn cooldown
-
-**Elite Tier (Gold):**
-8. Consult Ancient Texts (library/town) - 3 turn cooldown
-9. Commune with Nature (wilderness) - 4 turn cooldown
-10. Seek Audience with Authorities (town) - 5 turn cooldown
-
-## HTMX Patterns
-
-### Action Submission
-```html
-<button hx-post="/play/session/{id}/action"
-        hx-vals='{"action_type":"button","prompt_id":"ask_locals"}'
-        hx-target="#narrative-content"
-        hx-indicator="#loading"
-        hx-disabled-elt="this">
-```
-
-### Job Polling (1s interval)
-```html
-<div hx-get="/play/session/{id}/job/{job_id}"
-     hx-trigger="load delay:1s"
-     hx-swap="innerHTML">
-```
-
-### Cascade Refresh (after action completes)
-```html
-<!-- Hidden triggers in dm_response.html -->
-<div hx-get="/play/session/{id}/history" hx-target="#accordion-history" hx-trigger="load" hidden></div>
-<div hx-get="/play/session/{id}/npcs" hx-target="#accordion-npcs" hx-trigger="load" hidden></div>
-```
-
-## Responsive Design
-
-- **Desktop (>1024px):** 3-column grid
-- **Tablet (768-1024px):** 2-column, left sidebar as slide-out drawer
-- **Mobile (<768px):** Single column, right sidebar as bottom sheet
-
-## Implementation Approach: Visual First
-
-Build complete UI with mock/sample data first, then wire up real API calls. This allows rapid iteration on layout and styling before integrating backend.
-
-### Phase 1: Complete Visual Layout with Mock Data
-1. Create `game_views.py` with main route using hardcoded mock data
-2. Create `play.html` base template with 3-column grid
-3. Create `play.css` with all styles (theme, grid, components)
-4. Register blueprint
-5. Build all visual components with sample content:
-   - Left: Character panel with mock stats/actions
-   - Middle: Narrative panel with sample DM text
-   - Right: All 4 accordions with mock entries
-
-### Phase 2: Interactive Components (No API)
-1. Accordion toggle functionality (JavaScript)
-2. Modal open/close (travel + NPC chat)
-3. Action button states (hover, disabled, loading simulation)
-4. Collapsible ambient details
-5. Responsive breakpoints
-
-### Phase 3: Wire Up API Integration ✅ COMPLETE (Nov 24, 2025)
-1. ✅ Replace mock data with real API calls in Flask view
-2. ✅ Implement job polling for actions
-3. ✅ Wire up travel modal to `/api/v1/travel`
-4. ✅ Wire up NPC chat to `/api/v1/npcs/{id}/talk`
-5. ✅ Add HTMX refresh triggers for accordions
-6. ✅ Wire up equipment modal with real character data
-
-### Phase 4: Polish
-- Error handling states
-- Loading indicators
-- Empty state messages
-- Accessibility (ARIA labels, keyboard nav)
-
-## Critical Reference Files
-
-1. `public_web/templates/dev/story_session.html` - HTMX patterns, job polling
-2. `public_web/app/views/dev.py` - Flask view patterns, API client usage
-3. `public_web/static/css/main.css` - Theme variables, base styles
-4. `api/app/data/action_prompts.yaml` - All 10 action definitions
-5. `api/app/api/sessions.py` - Session API response formats
-
-## API Endpoints Used
-
-All endpoints already exist:
-- `GET /api/v1/sessions/{id}` - Session state (updated to include `character_id`)
-- `POST /api/v1/sessions/{id}/action` - Submit action
-- `GET /api/v1/sessions/{id}/history` - Conversation history
-- `GET /api/v1/jobs/{id}/status` - Poll job status
-- `GET /api/v1/characters/{id}` - Character data
-- `GET /api/v1/npcs/at-location/{id}` - NPCs at location
-- `POST /api/v1/npcs/{id}/talk` - Talk to NPC
-- `GET /api/v1/travel/available` - Available destinations
-- `POST /api/v1/travel` - Travel to location
-

-## Implementation Notes (Phase 3)
-
-### Session Creation from Characters Page
-
-Added the ability for players to create game sessions directly from `/characters`:
-
-**Files Modified:**
-- `public_web/app/views/character_views.py`
-  - Updated `list_characters()` to fetch user sessions via `GET /api/v1/sessions` and map them to characters
-  - Added new route `POST /characters/<character_id>/play` (`create_session`) that creates a session and redirects to play screen
-
-- `public_web/templates/character/list.html`
-  - Added sessions section showing active sessions per character (up to 3 displayed)
-  - Added "Continue Playing" button (resumes latest session)
-  - Added "New Session" button (creates new session)
-  - Added "Start Adventure" button for characters without sessions
-  - Added CSS for session badges (turn number, status indicator)
-
-### Play Screen API Integration
-
-**Files Modified:**
-- `public_web/app/views/game_views.py`
-  - Removed all mock data constants
-  - Added helper functions:
-    - `_get_user_tier(client)` - Gets user subscription tier
-    - `_build_location_from_game_state(game_state)` - Builds location dict from session
-    - `_build_character_from_api(char_data)` - Transforms API character response with robust defaults
-  - Updated all routes to use real API calls:
-    - `play_session` - Main play screen
-    - `character_panel` - Character stats refresh
-    - `narrative_panel` - Narrative content refresh
-    - `history_accordion`, `quests_accordion`, `npcs_accordion`, `map_accordion` - Sidebar refreshes
-    - `take_action` - Submit actions to API, return job polling partial
-    - `poll_job` - Poll job status, handle NPC dialogue vs story responses
-    - `equipment_modal`, `travel_modal`, `npc_chat_modal` - Modal data loading
-    - `do_travel`, `talk_to_npc` - Execute travel and NPC dialogue
-
-**New Template:**
-- `public_web/templates/game/partials/npc_dialogue_response.html` - Displays NPC dialogue from job polling results
-
-### API Changes
-
-**Files Modified:**
-- `api/app/api/sessions.py`
-  - Updated `get_session_state()` to include `character_id` and `status` in response
-  - This was required because the play screen needs to know which character to load
-
-### CSS Fixes
-
-**Files Modified:**
-- `public_web/static/css/play.css`
-  - Increased `max-width` from 1800px to 2400px for wider screens
-  - Changed middle column from `1fr` to `minmax(500px, 1fr)` to ensure minimum width
-  - Fixed NPC tags overflow:
-    - Added `flex-wrap: wrap` to `.npc-tags`
-    - Added `overflow: hidden` and `max-height: 3.5em`
-    - Added `white-space: nowrap` to `.npc-tag`
-
-### Bug Fixes
-
-1. **Character data showing "Unknown"** - Fixed `_build_character_from_api()` to always return complete dict with sensible defaults even when API data is empty or incomplete
-
-2. **API not returning character_id** - Updated `api/app/api/sessions.py` to include `character_id` in session state response
-
-3. **NPC tags overflow** - Fixed CSS to wrap tags and hide overflow

-## Phase 4C: NPC Shop (Days 15-18)
-
-### Task 5.1: Define Shop Inventory ✅ COMPLETE
-
-**Objective:** Create YAML for shop items
-
-**File:** `/api/app/data/shop/general_store.yaml`
-
-```yaml
-shop_id: "general_store"
-shop_name: "General Store"
-shop_description: "A well-stocked general store with essential supplies."
-shopkeeper_name: "Merchant Guildmaster"
-
-inventory:
-  # Weapons
-  - item_id: "iron_sword"
-    stock: -1  # Unlimited stock (-1)
-    price: 50
-
-  - item_id: "oak_bow"
-    stock: -1
-    price: 45
-
-  # Armor
-  - item_id: "leather_helmet"
-    stock: -1
-    price: 30
-
-  - item_id: "leather_chest"
-    stock: -1
-    price: 60
-
-  # Consumables
-  - item_id: "health_potion_small"
-    stock: -1
-    price: 10
-
-  - item_id: "health_potion_medium"
-    stock: -1
-    price: 30
-
-  - item_id: "mana_potion_small"
-    stock: -1
-    price: 15
-
-  - item_id: "antidote"
-    stock: -1

-## Development Philosophy
+## Overview
 
-**Workflow:** Brainstorm → Design → Code → Revise
+Code of Conquest is a web-based AI-powered Dungeons & Dragons style game where Claude acts as the Dungeon Master. This roadmap tracks development progress from MVP to public launch.
 
-**Principles:**
+**Tech Stack:** Flask + Jinja2 + HTMX + Appwrite + RQ + Redis + Anthropic/Replicate APIs
-- Build incrementally (MVP first, then expand)
-- Test each phase before moving forward
-- Security and cost control from day one
-- Manual testing preferred for most features
-- Focus on core gameplay before polish

+### Phase 4: AI Integration & Core Gameplay
-
+- ✅ AI Dungeon Master integration
-### Phase 1 Implementation Summary
+- ✅ Turn-based combat system
-
+- ✅ NPC dialogue system with personality and knowledge
-**What Was Built:**
+- ✅ Location and travel system
-- **10 data model files** in `/app/models/`:
+- ✅ Session management
-  - `enums.py` - 9 enum types for type safety
+- ✅ Action prompt system
-  - `stats.py` - Stats with computed properties (HP, MP, defense, resistance)
-  - `effects.py` - 6 effect types (BUFF, DEBUFF, DOT, HOT, STUN, SHIELD) with stacking
-  - `abilities.py` - Ability system with YAML loader (data-driven design)
-  - `items.py` - Items (weapons, armor, consumables, quest items)
-  - `skills.py` - SkillNode, SkillTree, PlayerClass
-  - `character.py` - Character with **get_effective_stats()** (single source of truth)
-  - `combat.py` - Combatant, CombatEncounter with turn-based flow
-  - `session.py` - GameSession, SessionConfig, GameState, ConversationEntry
-  - `marketplace.py` - MarketplaceListing, Bid, Transaction, ShopItem
-
-**Test Coverage:**
-- 68 tests across 4 test files, all passing
-- `test_stats.py` - 12 tests for Stats dataclass
-- `test_effects.py` - 17 tests for all effect types
-- `test_character.py` - 20 tests including get_effective_stats()
-- `test_combat_simulation.py` - 19 tests including full combat flow
-
-**Key Design Decisions Made:**
-
-| Decision | Rationale |
-|----------|-----------|
-| **Abilities from YAML** | Data-driven design for easy balancing without code changes |
-| **Effect stacking capped at max_stacks** | Prevents infinite stacking abuse (default 5, configurable) |
-| **Duration refreshes on re-application** | Simpler than cumulative duration, more predictable |
-| **Shield damage absorption** | Fully implemented with partial/complete absorption logic |
-| **Critical hits only** | No damage variance = deterministic damage except crits (JRPG-style) |
-| **Stat minimum clamped at 1** | Debuffs can't reduce stats below 1 (prevents zero/negative stats) |
-| **Single source of truth** | Character.get_effective_stats() combines all modifiers (base + equip + skills + effects) |
-
-**Combat System Features:**
-- Deterministic damage calculation with stat scaling
-- 6 effect types with tick() processing
-- Shield absorption before HP damage
-- Effect stacking with configurable caps
-- Turn-based initiative system
-- Mana costs and ability cooldowns
-- Full combat simulation tested
-
-**Data Serialization:**
-- All models have to_dict() / from_dict() methods
-- Enums serialize to .value strings
-- JSON-compatible for Appwrite storage
-- Round-trip serialization tested
-
-**Documentation Updated:**
-- DATA_MODELS.md - Added Ability, AbilityLoader, Enums, expanded Effect/Character
-- GAME_SYSTEMS.md - Added Ability System section, clarified effect stacking, shields, crits
-- ARCHITECTURE.md - Updated models directory structure

+# Phase 5: Quest System
+
+**Goal:** YAML-driven quest system with context-aware offering
+**Priority:** High
+**Status:** Complete (100%)
+**Last Updated:** November 29, 2025
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The Quest System provides structured objectives and rewards for players during their solo story progression sessions. Quests are defined in YAML files and offered to players by the AI Dungeon Master based on context-aware triggers and location-based probability.
+
+**Key Principles:**
+- **YAML-driven design** - Quests defined in data files, no code changes needed
+- **Context-aware offering** - AI analyzes narrative context to offer relevant quests
+- **Location-based triggers** - Different areas have different quest probabilities
+- **Max 2 active quests** - Prevents player overwhelm
+- **Rewarding progression** - Quests provide gold, XP, and items
+
+**Reference:** See `/api/docs/QUEST_SYSTEM.md` for detailed technical specification.

+# Phase 6: Story Progression & Lore System
+
+**Goal:** Vector database-powered NPC knowledge and world lore
+**Priority:** High
+**Status:** Not Started
+**Last Updated:** November 29, 2025
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement a layered knowledge system using vector databases (Weaviate) to provide NPCs and the Dungeon Master with contextual lore, regional history, and world knowledge. This enhances NPC conversations with authentic, contextual responses.
+
+**Key Principles:**
+- **Three-tier knowledge hierarchy** - World Lore → Regional Lore → NPC Persona
+- **RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)** - Semantic search for relevant context
+- **Knowledge boundaries** - NPCs only know what they should know
+- **Index-once strategy** - Embeddings generated at build time, not runtime
+
+**Reference:** See `/docs/VECTOR_DATABASE_STRATEGY.md` for detailed architecture.
+
+---
+
+## Knowledge Hierarchy
+
+### Three-Tier Structure
+
+1. **World Lore DB** (Global)
+   - Broad historical events, mythology, major kingdoms, legendary figures
+   - Accessible to all NPCs and DM for player questions
+   - Examples: "The Great War 200 years ago", "The origin of magic"
+
+2. **Regional/Town Lore DB** (Location-specific)
+   - Local history, notable events, landmarks, politics, rumors
+   - Current town leadership, recent events, local legends
+   - Trade routes, neighboring settlements, regional conflicts
+
+3. **NPC Persona** (Individual, YAML-defined)
+   - Personal background, personality, motivations
+   - Specific knowledge based on profession/role
+   - Already implemented in `/api/app/data/npcs/*.yaml`
+

+# Phase 5 Quest System - NPC Integration Plan
+
+## Summary
+
+Implement a quest-centric system where quests define their NPC givers, and NPCs automatically offer eligible quests during conversations using a probability roll + AI selection approach.
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| Data ownership | Quest-centric | Quests define `quest_giver_npc_ids`. Adding new quests doesn't touch NPC files. |
+| Offer trigger | Probability + AI select | Location-based roll first, then AI naturally weaves selected quest into dialogue. |
+| Lore integration | Stub service | Create `LoreService` interface with mock data now; swap to Weaviate in Phase 6. |
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+```

+## YAML Schema Designs
+
+### Quest YAML (Quest-Centric Approach)
+
+```yaml
+# /api/app/data/quests/easy/cellar_rats.yaml
+quest_id: quest_cellar_rats
+name: "Rat Problem in the Cellar"
+description: |
+  Giant rats have infested the Rusty Anchor's cellar.
+difficulty: easy
+
+# NPC Quest Givers (quest defines this, not NPC)

+  probability_weights:
+    tavern: 0.35
+    town: 0.20
+
+# NPC-specific offer dialogue (keyed by NPC ID)
+npc_offer_dialogues:
+  npc_grom_ironbeard:
+    dialogue: |
+      *leans in conspiratorially* Got a problem, friend. Giant rats
+      in me cellar. Been scaring off customers. 50 gold for whoever
+      clears 'em out.
+    conditions:
+      min_relationship: 30
+      required_flags: []
+      forbidden_flags: ["refused_rat_quest"]
+
+# What NPCs know about this quest (for AI context)
+npc_quest_knowledge:
+  npc_grom_ironbeard:
+    - "The rats started appearing about a week ago"
+    - "They seem bigger than normal rats"
+    - "Old smuggling tunnels under the cellar"
+
+# Embedded lore (used before Weaviate exists)
+lore_context:
+  backstory: |
+    The cellar connects to old smuggling tunnels from Captain
+    Morgath's days. Recent earthquakes may have reopened them.
+  world_connections:
+    - "The earthquakes also disturbed the Old Mines"
+  regional_hints:
+    - "Smuggling was common 50 years ago in Crossville"
+
+# Narrative hooks for natural dialogue
+dialogue_templates:
+  narrative_hooks:
+    - "mentions unusual scratching sounds from below"
+    - "complains about spoiled food supplies"
+    - "nervously glances toward the cellar door"

+  npc_grom_ironbeard: |
+    *actually smiles* Well done! Rats are gone, cellar's safe.
+    Here's your coin. Drink's on the house tonight.
+```
+
+### NPC YAML (Simplified - No Quest Lists)
+
+NPCs no longer need `quest_giver_for` since quests define their givers.
+
+```yaml
+# /api/app/data/npcs/crossville/npc_grom_ironbeard.yaml
+npc_id: npc_grom_ironbeard
+name: Grom Ironbeard
+role: bartender
+location_id: crossville_tavern
+image_url: /static/images/npcs/crossville/grom_ironbeard.png
+
+# All other existing fields remain unchanged
+personality: { ... }
+appearance: { ... }
+knowledge: { ... }
+dialogue_hooks: { ... }
+# NO quest_giver_for field needed
+```

+
+---
+
+## Critical Files to Read Before Implementation
+
+| File | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| `/api/app/services/npc_loader.py` | Pattern for YAML loading with caching |
+| `/api/app/models/npc.py` | Current NPC dataclass structure |
+| `/api/app/api/npcs.py` | Current `talk_to_npc` endpoint implementation |
+| `/api/app/tasks/ai_tasks.py` | `_process_npc_dialogue_task` function (lines 667-795) |
+| `/api/app/ai/templates/npc_dialogue.j2` | Current prompt template structure |
+| `/api/app/models/character.py` | `active_quests`, `completed_quests` fields |
+
+---
+
+## Data Flow Summary
+
+```
+1. Player talks to NPC → POST /api/v1/npcs/{npc_id}/talk
+
+2. Backend:
+   a. QuestService.get_quests_for_npc(npc_id)
+      → Find quests where npc_id in quest_giver_npc_ids
+
+   b. QuestEligibilityService.filter_eligible(quests, character)
+      → Remove: already active, completed, wrong level, flags block
+
+   c. Probability roll based on location
+      → 35% chance in tavern, 5% in wilderness, etc.
+
+   d. If roll succeeds + eligible quests exist:
+      → Pick quest (first eligible or AI-selected if multiple)
+      → Build QuestOfferContext with dialogue + lore
+
+   e. Add quest context to AI prompt
+
+   f. AI generates dialogue, naturally mentions quest
+      → Includes [QUEST_OFFER:quest_cellar_rats] if offering
+
+3. Parse response, return to frontend:
+   {
+     "dialogue": "NPC's natural dialogue...",
+     "quest_offered": {
+       "quest_id": "quest_cellar_rats",
+       "name": "Rat Problem",
+       "description": "...",
+       "rewards": {...}
+     }
+   }
+
+4. Frontend shows quest offer UI
+   → Player clicks Accept
+
+5. POST /api/v1/quests/accept
+   → Add to character.active_quests
+   → Update NPC relationship (+5)
+   → Return acceptance dialogue
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 Integration Points
+
+When implementing Phase 6 (Weaviate lore), these touchpoints enable integration:
+
+1. **LoreService interface** - Replace `MockLoreService` with `WeaviateLoreService`
+2. **Quest.lore_context** - Supplement embedded lore with Weaviate queries
+3. **NPC dialogue template** - Lore section already prepared
+4. **Knowledge filtering** - `LoreService.filter_for_npc()` method exists
+
+---
+
+## NPC YAML Migration
+
+Existing NPC files need these changes:
+
+**Remove (if exists):**
+- `quest_giver_for: [...]` - No longer needed
+
+**Keep unchanged:**
+- `location_id` - Required
+- `image_url` - Required
+- All other fields - Unchanged
+
+The `quest_giver_for` field in `npc_mayor_aldric.yaml` will be removed since quests now define their givers.
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Quest YAML schema implemented and validated
+- [ ] QuestService loads quests from YAML with caching
+- [ ] QuestEligibilityService filters correctly by all conditions
+- [ ] Probability roll works per location type
+- [ ] AI prompt includes quest context when offering
+- [ ] AI naturally weaves quest offers into dialogue
+- [ ] Quest offer parsing extracts `[QUEST_OFFER:id]` correctly
+- [ ] Accept endpoint adds quest to active_quests
+- [ ] Max 2 active quests enforced
+- [ ] Relationship bonus applied on quest completion
+- [ ] LoreService stub returns embedded lore_context
