From a0a3574b142fcf4a17f998372fe2b53090c78b84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 01:45:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: report wrong-zone resource spawning after PR #7 Live-tested in Durotar after the herb/ore categorization fix merged and rebuilt: spawned Mageroyal almost exclusively, which is not in Durotar's configured pool (verified the live config is correct and uncorrupted -- Peacebloom/Silverleaf/Earthroot/Copper Vein). No ore appeared either, despite Copper Vein being in the list and containing the word 'vein' -- which should have matched even the pre-PR-#7 keyword heuristic, suggesting this isn't purely a categorization issue. Hypothesis: herb/ore pool building may now filter against the full set of IDs the lookup table knows about, rather than the current site's own configured entries. Flagged for direct verification against the merged code rather than assumed. --- docs/herb-pool-scoping-regression.md | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 56 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/herb-pool-scoping-regression.md diff --git a/docs/herb-pool-scoping-regression.md b/docs/herb-pool-scoping-regression.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..977d22c --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/herb-pool-scoping-regression.md @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +# Bug: events spawning resources from the wrong zone entirely + +## Observed, live-tested after PR #7 merged and rebuilt + +`.goldrush teststart` in **Durotar** spawned **Mageroyal** almost +exclusively.
