V1.9.0: full monster stat blocks, and cash ($)

- "+ Add Monster" takes the whole stat block: challenge rating, speed, the
  six ability scores, special trait and notes, as well as name, AC, HP,
  attack and damage. Damage can name its type ("1d6+2 necrotic").
- Monsters can be edited: "Edit" on a row opens the same form filled in.
  Copies already in encounters show the new stat block.
- The monster list shows each full stat block, the library picker shows
  speed and ability scores too, and removing a monster asks first.
- Characters have a fourth balance, cash ($), for crossover worlds. It is
  gained, spent, given and awarded like a coin, but it has no worth in
  coins: it is never exchanged or used to make change.
- `npm test` in the backend runs again (the script pointed at a jest path
  that does not exist in the workspace).
- All packages at version 1.9.0.

+

+- a **dead character**. Dying and stable characters are not: they stay in
+  view.
+
+What that does:
+
+- **Players no longer see it.** Its card is gone from their screen, along
+  with any target mark on it; the server does not send it to them at all.
+- **The DM's screen leaves it out as well**, until the DM ticks **Show dead**
+  above the list (the box shows how many there are, and only appears when
+  there are any). Ticked, they are listed in a group of their own at the
+  bottom, "Out of the fight, hidden from players", each with a "Hidden from
+  players" badge, and everything on the card still works. The tick is not
+  remembered: it is off again when the page is reopened.
+- **It has no turn.** Next Turn, Next Round and Begin Battle pass over it.
+- It stays in the encounter: nothing is removed, and gold is still split with
+  a dead character.
+
+It is worked out from hit points each time, not stored, so it undoes itself:
+heal a monster or NPC above 0, or revive a character, and they are back on
+everyone's screen and back in the turn order.
+
+**Reviving a dead character.** Players see dead characters by name only, in a
+**☠ Fallen** box above the list. There are two ways back:
+
+- The **DM** ticks Show dead and clicks **Revive at 1 HP** on the dead
+  character's card (or does it on the sheet), at any time.
+- An **ally** tries it: in a battle in progress, the player whose character is
+  **on turn** gets a **Try revive** button beside each name in the Fallen box,
+  if that character is capable. Capable means on their feet (above 0 HP) and
+  knowing a spell that is ticked **Revives** in the campaign's spell list
+  ([SPELLS.md](SPELLS.md)), at a level they can cast. The library's Revivify
+  (level 3) and Raise Dead (level 5) are ticked already.

+
+### Targets
+
+Combatants can be marked as **targets**: whoever is being attacked (or
+healed) right now. One target is an ordinary attack; more than one is an
+**area attack**.
+
+- Click **🎯 Target** beside a combatant's name to mark them; click it again
+  to unmark. Each one marked is added to the targets.
+- The **DM** can mark anyone at any time, in a battle or a quest. A **player**
+  can while their own character is on turn in a battle, so they can show the
+  DM who they are going for. A player cannot mark someone who is out of the
+  fight, and is not shown a mark the DM leaves on one.
+- The combatant **on turn** cannot be marked: nobody targets themselves, and
+  their card has no Target button until the turn passes. To heal or hurt them
+  on their own turn, use the buttons on their card.
+- A target's card is outlined in red for everyone and reads "Targeted by
+  <whoever is on turn>".
+- While anyone is marked the DM gets an **attack bar** above the list, which
+  stays in view while scrolling. It shows who is attacking whom, each target's
+  AC and HP, and the attacker's attacks: a character's equipped weapons (all
+  of them if none are equipped) and damaging spells, or a monster's or NPC's
+  attack and damage. The amount box is ready to type in; **Damage** (or
+  Enter) and **Heal** change HP exactly as the buttons on a card do.
+- Targets stay marked after damage, for a second attack. They are cleared
+  when the turn or round moves on, when the encounter begins, ends or is
+  reopened; a target that is removed from the encounter is unmarked.
+
+**Area attacks**
+
+An attack on several targets is harder to land and its damage is shared.
+
+- **Harder to hit.** Every target's AC counts as higher for each target
+  beyond the first, by the campaign's **area attack AC penalty**. The DM sets
+  it in the campaign settings, from 0 (no penalty) to 10; it starts at 2, which
+  gives:
+
+  | Targets | Added to each AC |
+  |---|---|
+  | 1 | 0 |
+  | 2 | +2 |
+  | 3 | +4 |
+  | 4 | +6 |
+
+  The attack bar shows the AC to beat with the penalty already added
+  ("17 (15 +2)"), and each target's card says "area attack, AC +2".
+- **Who was hit.** Each target has a tick box, ticked to begin with. Untick
+  anyone the roll missed; they take nothing.
+- **Sharing the amount.** Type the total. "Split between those hit" (the
+  default) shares it evenly, any remainder going one point each to the first
+  targets marked: 7 between three is 3, 2 and 2. "Full amount to each" gives
+  every target hit the whole amount. Each target's share is shown before it
+  is applied.
+- A target with no hit points to track is left out of the sharing.
+
+The app does not roll the attack or decide whether it hits: the DM compares
+the roll with the AC shown and types the damage.
