+# Hardcore population replacement
+
+The game-side ALE lifecycle guard closes an identity permanently after death.
+It preserves character data and the AzerothAI memorial, removes the character
+from the random-bot manager, and refreshes a persistent login veto. Zaku and
+protected identities are excluded. GUID, account and name must all match the
+installation registry; human accounts are never included.
+
+The installer promotes unused manual-summoning reserve accounts into the native
+autonomous pool. The native random-bot manager maintains its configured population target using
+unused factory-created characters. Replacements start at level 1 (Death Knights at level 55), with their
+own names and AzerothAI recipes/memories assigned when observed. This does not
+reset or resurrect a dead character. Duplicate death events are harmless.
+
+The reserve is finite: this deployment began with 450 unused level-1 characters.
+This release does not create additional accounts or extend the factory reserve
+when it is exhausted. The population will fall below target if no eligible
+characters remain. Check `azerothai_lifecycle` state counts before extending it.
+Death Knights are eligible and count toward their race’s faction, within the same
+25-per-faction cap. Their approved starting level is 55. Normal gameplay can still level a replacement after its initial entry.
+
+The guard allocates new arrivals against actual living faction counts, targeting
+25 Alliance and 25 Horde, including protected residents. It holds excess-faction
+reserves and excess returning residents offline without retiring them. Returning
+residents retain their progress and get priority over unused reserves. New activations record `entry_level=1` or `entry_level=55` for Death Knights; subsequent leveling is allowed.
+Native factory-created newcomers are enrolled only from verified RNDBOT accounts
+and only when fresh and at their class starting level.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Build the updated AzerothAI application and start its runtime.
+2. Run `python3 deploy/playable/install-lifecycle.py --lab /path/to/lab` to review.
+3. Stop `ac-worldserver`.
+4. Repeat the command with `--apply`. It backs up auth, character and playerbot
+   databases, current Lua scripts, compose overrides and the dashboard state.
+5. Recreate only the world container with `docker compose up -d --no-deps ac-worldserver`.
+6. Restart the ALE relay to load priority delivery for permanent-death events.
+
+The guard is enabled by installing its Lua file, independently of the dashboard
+hardcore toggle. Remove the guard and recreate the world before intentionally
+switching back to non-hardcore play. Do not erase the registry to recycle deaths.
+
+## Verification and recovery
+
+Verify the lifecycle startup line, absence of lifecycle errors, zero retired
+GUIDs online, new reserve activations at level 1, and the native target count.
+The dashboard active count excludes unmanaged prototype entries in live mode.
+
+For rollback, stop the world and restore its prior Lua directory and compose
+override from the printed backup directory, then recreate the world container.
+The previous characters were never deleted. Database restoration is a separate
+operator action: it also rolls back gameplay since the backup timestamp.
+
+Run `python3 tests/lifecycle-lua.test.py` with `lupa` installed for isolated
+retirement, replay, protection and replacement-entry checks. Run
+`node scripts/test-core.mjs` for application tests.
