- BattleScene:
- Include `smiteTick` in pre-battle event filtering.
- Add `smiteApply` and `smiteApplyAll` to on-attack-all event tracking.
- Increase smite projectile size (sprite 38) from 80x80 to 180x180.
- Enhance smite damage animation: pulse sprite 39 twice over 1s, synchronize with HP loss, and enforce minimum timing before proceeding or playing death/hive-link animations.
- Add visual and text feedback for `berserk` (animate attack gain) and `flurry` (status text) in fire animations.
- Extend `CombatEngine` to support hacking `strike`, `jam`, `venom`, `smite`, and `molt` skills, including single and area-of-effect variants.
- Add logic to process deaths and carapace gain for hacked `strikeAll` attacks.

- Update attack spritesheet to support the new animation frames.
Update `CombatEngine._applyCarapace` to increment `card.baseArmor` alongside `currentArmor` and `card.armor` when carapace effects trigger. This ensures the armor gain is tracked as a permanent base stat increase rather than just a temporary effect. The debug log has also been updated to reflect the new `baseArmor` value.
Moves the `heal` skill trigger from `on_attack` to `preBattle`, allowing cards to restore HP before combat begins. Updates `data/cards.json` to reflect new skill configurations (changing `strike`/`armored` to `swipe`/`heal` for specific cards).
Changes include:
- **Data**: Updated `skills.json` descriptions and triggers. Modified `cards.json` to use the new `heal` skill with `preBattle` trigger.
- **Engine**: Refactored `CombatEngine` to collect `healFires` during pre-battle processing and removed legacy `healAll` event logic from the attack phase.

- Modified `bloodpact` in `SkillProcessor.js` to permanently reduce max HP, not just current HP.
- Added temporary buff tracking for `bloodrage` in `SkillProcessor.js`.
- Updated `BattleScene.js` to temporarily restore pre-buff stats (ATK/ARM) before rendering the state, ensuring visual animations correctly display stat gains rather than showing already-modified values. Added `_restoreBuffsForDisplay` and `_reapplyBuffs` helpers.

- Packs unlock by completing their respective campaign missions
- Updated StoreScene to display faction colors, unlock status, and support pack opening animations
Fix bloodpact skill trigger timing and mechanics
- Changed bloodpact from preBattle to preAttack trigger (now fires per attack instead of once per turn)

- Added death check for self-killed cards during preAttack phase
Update drain skill description and trigger

- Implemented visual animations for all new skills:
- Drain: projectile to primary target + splash damage to neighbors + green heal return particles
- Siphon: blood-red projectile with glow effect that heals attacker
- Bloodpact: red flash for HP loss followed by ATK gain animation (handles self-destruction)
- Bloodrage: red pulse and ATK boost display when below 50% HP
- Updated CombatEngine to handle preBattle death checks (bloodpact can kill cards immediately)
- Modified BattleScene to sequence new skill animations within the combat flow
- **Combat Logic**: Refactored `swipe` to trigger on `preAttack`, dealing damage to all enemy cards and the commander while ignoring armor. Updated `data/skills.json` and card definitions in `data/cards.json` accordingly.

- **Data Layer**: Updated cards.json with expanded skill definitions and added new cards (Imperial Guardian, Pillager, Marauder). Added `allDescription` and `supportsAll` flags to skills.json.
- **Combat Logic**: Extended SkillProcessor and CombatEngine to handle "all" variants, managing parallel state updates for HP, armor, attack stats, and buffs/debuffs across multiple targets.
- **Visuals**: Implemented new animation sequences in BattleScene for area-of-effect skills (parallel projectiles, shared sound effects) and updated CardTooltip/CardObject to display the "all" modifier.
- **Audio**: Introduced a shuffled battle music playlist that cycles through multiple tracks during combat, resuming main menu music upon exit.
Adds a 5-level scaling system to all cards with progressively increasing stats and skill values. Introduces a campaign structure with unlock conditions, level requirements, and completion rewards that grant new cards and player level-ups.
