## 1. Executive Summary

A comprehensive, opaque-box, 4-tier End-to-End (E2E) test suite has been designed, implemented, and verified for the Diablo II web port item drop engine parity project. The test suite rigorously covers all 17 inventoried features in `PROJECT.md § Feature Inventory` (Issues #412–#428) across Milestones M1 through M5.

All 198 tests execute autonomously via Vitest in under 9 seconds with **100% PASS (198/198 passed, 0 failures, 0 flakes)**.

## 5. Ground Truth Invariants Tested

1. **Exact 1.13c Upgrade Divisors (`Difficultylevels.txt`)**:
   - Normal: Uber Odds = 0, Ultra Odds = 0 (Base item upgrading unconditionally disabled).
   - Nightmare: Uber Odds = 10 (Normal), 20 (Good); Ultra Odds = 0.
   - Hell: Uber Odds = 20 (Normal), 40 (Good); Ultra Odds = 30 (Normal), 40 (Good).
2. **Zero Synthetic Loot Fallbacks**:
   - Deletion of artificial item generators. Missing or invalid TCs cleanly return empty drop sets without fabricating items or falling back to `Act 1 H2H A`.
3. **Elite mlvl Bonus Mathematics (`MonsterUnique.cpp`)**:
   - Champions: $\text{mlvl} = \text{base} + 2$.
   - Uniques / Minions: $\text{mlvl} = \text{base} + 3$.
   - Clamped strictly between 1 and 99.
   - Demote to Normal logic cleanly reverses the $+2/+3$ bonus before inspecting base item level requirements.
4. **Diminishing Returns Magic Find (`Items.cpp:621`)**:
   - $\text{EffectiveMF} = \lfloor \frac{\text{MF} \cdot \text{Factor}}{\text{MF} + \text{Factor}} \rfloor$
   - Factors: Unique (250), Set (500), Rare (600). Magic (no diminishing returns).
5. **NoDrop Player Scaling (`D2Game!0x6FC3D280`)**:
   - $N = \lfloor 1 + \frac{\text{GamePlayers} - 1}{2} + \frac{\text{PartyPlayers} - 1}{2} \rfloor$.
   - $\text{ScaledNoDrop} = \lfloor \frac{\text{TotalProb} \cdot \text{Ratio}^N}{1 - \text{Ratio}^N} \rfloor$.
6. **Gold Inventory Capacity (`UNITS_GetInventoryGoldLimit`)**:
   - $\text{MaxGold} = \text{Level} \times 10,000$. Overflows remain on ground with corresponding graphic tier (small: 1–49, medium: 50–499, large: 500+).
7. **Multi-Frame Death Animation Gating**:
   - Item drops and audio SFX do not dispatch until the final frame of `mode = DT`. Cold shatter deaths dispatch items without corpse spawn.
8. **Quadrant Spiral Placement**:
   - Isometric diamond scatter checks candidate coordinates by L1 Manhattan distance ascending, ensuring collision masks (`COLLIDE_WALL`, `COLLIDE_BLANK`, `COLLIDE_MASK_INVALID`) are never overlapped.
9. **Ground Item Label Text Colors**:
   - Ethereal or socketed items of Normal/Superior quality strictly render in Gray (`#808080`), preserving Magic blue (`#6868ff`), Rare yellow (`#ffff64`), Set green (`#00fc00`), and Unique gold (`#c8a15a`).
10. **2-Pass Auto-Belt Routing**:
    - Pass 1: Find existing column with matching potion type.
    - Pass 2: Find first empty column.
11. **Multiplayer Lockstep Determinism**:
    - Dual PRNG instances seeded with identical 32-bit values yield 100% byte-for-byte identical drop lists across Host and Client.
12. **Countess 6-Drop Cap & Paradoxical /players Scaling**:
    - Countess raw table expansion ($5 \text{ items} + 3 \text{ runes} = 8$) capped to 6 items. Higher player counts reduce Countess Item NoDrop, leaving fewer slots for Countess Rune.
13. **Hellforge Smash Parity**:
    - Exactly 1 rune (Hel–Gul on Hell, El–Amn on Normal) + 4 gems (1 perfect, 2 flawless, 1 normal).
