Owner

Adds the agreed PvP-arena design (docs/game-design/systems/pvp-arena.md) from a game-design review (3-persona panel) and indexes it in vision.md.

Key shape: a sealed symmetric dueling pit carved into world.map (not a separate/instanced map), teleport-in, cover concentrated in the centre (LoS mind-game; longest sightline < ranged range — the owner's 'must get out of LoS' rule), varied cover kinds, two ankhs in protected alcoves, no-loss inherited from the global rule. Adds no new server mechanic.

The review surfaced prerequisites to make friend-vs-friend actually playable (tracked as separate issues): client mobile unification (PvP is unclickable today — targeting only scans creatures), AoI line-of-sight filter (cover is defeated by a modified client), death feedback / ankh beacon / onboarding, tile-highlight (#91). Design issue: #109.

Doc-only; no code.

Adds the agreed PvP-arena design (`docs/game-design/systems/pvp-arena.md`) from a game-design review (3-persona panel) and indexes it in `vision.md`. Key shape: a **sealed symmetric dueling pit carved into `world.map`** (not a separate/instanced map), teleport-in, **cover concentrated in the centre** (LoS mind-game; longest sightline < ranged range — the owner's 'must get out of LoS' rule), **varied** cover kinds, two ankhs in protected alcoves, **no-loss inherited from the global rule**. Adds **no new server mechanic**. The review surfaced prerequisites to make friend-vs-friend actually playable (tracked as separate issues): **client mobile unification** (PvP is unclickable today — targeting only scans creatures), **AoI line-of-sight filter** (cover is defeated by a modified client), death feedback / ankh beacon / onboarding, tile-highlight (#91). Design issue: #109. Doc-only; no code.
