Hire preflight: refuse a run when the tank is too weak or the hire faction does not match the plan's team; hire at the portal ground #266
Description
Found in the 2026-10-20 full observer runs (ZF #257, RFC #258, Uldaman #261, WC); data in ~/TortoiseBots-audit/tests/full-obs-*-19z16/, lessons entries zf/rfc/uldaman/wc-full-19z16 in RUN-LESSONS.md, analysis ~/TortoiseBots-audit/RFC-DEATHS-ANALYSIS.txt. Module code is Sagiroth/TortoiseBots feat/dungeon-self-clear (ours to merge into); tracked here.
Evidence: RFC tank had 641 max HP (item level 14.0, 7 white items) vs 901 on 10-17 (19.5, 5 blue): the same step-34 pull nearly killed the strong one (158/901). The first RFC setup (attempt 2a) wiped all 5 hires in 41 s: Alliance commander hires Alliance bots for a team=horde plan and the muster at the login point z -19.8 under the portal walked into an Orgrimmar Grunt (lvl 55) and an imp. Fix: preflight checks (agent/dungeon): tank max HP floor per dungeon level band (a table, e.g. 800 at level 16 for RFC, warn below, refuse well below), hire gear (autogear again or re-roll within the free-hire tool), a faction check against the plan's team, and hire/enter only from the ground at the portal (z -10.4) or via cmd enter without the door walk when everyone is within ~30 yd of the trigger. Related: #253.

Merge pull request #298 from pjerra/fix/ta266
pjerra commentedon Oct 23, 2026
First slice merged in #298: the plan field
tank_min_hp(RFC 800) and two preflight warnings, one for a tank below the floor and one for a bot whose race belongs to the other team than the party's (the run'steamoption, else the agent's race; bots out of view are skipped and counted). The check runs before.bot maintenancemoves the hires. Strict preflight fails the run on either. Still open: refusing to hire or enter at hazard spots, tank floors for the other dungeons, and making the free-hire tool hire the commander's faction (module side).pjerra commentedon Oct 28, 2026
