V1.12.3: live updates behind any proxy, fewer requests

- Live updates start on plain requests and move up to a websocket when
  one gets through. The site used to ask for the websocket first, with
  no way back: behind a proxy that does not pass the upgrade, nothing
  live arrived at all.
- A browser asks the API's leave before a request, the site and the API
  being on different hosts. It now remembers the answer for two hours,
  where it used to ask before nearly every request.
- A built file is kept by the browser for good: its name changes when
  its contents do. Each used to be checked again on every page load.
- For a real websocket through nginx, the blocks that pass requests to
  the API need "proxy_http_version 1.1", "proxy_set_header Upgrade
  $http_upgrade" and "proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"".

+## Getting around
+
+The same four destinations are always on screen: **Campaigns** (the list),
+**Campaign** and **Party** (for the campaign you were last in, from any page,
+including a character sheet or an encounter) and **Account**.
+
+- On a wide screen they are links along the top bar, and the dice roller
+  floats at the bottom left.
+- On a phone or small tablet (900px wide or less) they are a bar along the
+  bottom of the screen, with the **dice roller** as its last button. Nothing
+  floats over the page: the 🧙 character button sits in the top bar.
+- The **🧙 character button** is on every page (floating at the bottom right
+  on a wide screen). It opens a panel with your character's numbers and
+  everything they hold; the DM can open it for any character.
+- The campaign page and the character sheet are long, so each starts with a
+  row of **section links** (Characters, Encounters, NPCs, Monsters...) that
+  jump straight to that part of the page.
+- On a small screen every table (weapons, items, spells, monsters, the party
+  overview) is shown as a stack of cards, one per row, with each figure
+  labelled, and rows of controls wrap rather than run off the side.
+
 ## Stack

+[ENCOUNTERS.md](ENCOUNTERS.md), section 10: in short, in an **NPC quest that
+is in progress**, never in a battle, and only with an NPC who is in the scene
+and not at 0 HP.
+
+### Changing money
+
+An NPC with an **exchange rate** changes gold into cash ($) and cash into
+gold. The rate is two whole numbers, "this much gold = this much cash", and
+each NPC has their own, so one money changer can be a better deal than
+another.
+
+| Rate | Hand over | Get |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 gold = $5 | 3 gold | $15 |
+| 1 gold = $5 | $20 | 4 gold |
+| 2 gold = $15 | 6 gold | $45 |
+| 2 gold = $15 | $30 | 4 gold |
+
+- The same rate is used both ways.
+- **Only gold and cash.** Silver and copper are not taken, a gold coin is not
+  broken to make up an amount, and no change is given.
+- What is handed over has to be a whole multiple of that side of the rate: at
+  2 gold = $15, gold goes in twos and cash in fifteens.
+- Both sides go on the character's money log, naming the NPC: "Changed with
+  Vex for $45" and "Changed with Vex from 6 gold".
+- An NPC never runs out of gold or cash to change.
+- To set a rate, type both numbers under "Trade" and press "Save rate".
+  "Stop changing money" clears it. An NPC with no rate does not change money.
+
+### Selling
+
+An NPC's **wares** are weapons and items from the campaign's own pools, each
+put up for sale with:
+
+| Field | What it is |
+|---|---|
+| What | One weapon or item from the pool |
+| Level | The gear level it is handed over at, not below its starting level |
+| Price | For one, in gold, silver, copper or cash |
+| Stock | How many can be bought. Empty means no limit |
+
+- Wares belong to the NPC, not to an encounter: they are on offer in every
+  quest that NPC is in.
+- Buying pays the price from the character's purse, adds the weapon or item
+  to what they hold (stacking with any they already have) and lowers the
+  stock. A price in coins is paid with change, exactly like any other spend;
+  a price in cash takes cash only.
+- At 0 stock a ware shows as sold out and cannot be bought. It stays listed
+  until the DM removes it.
+- The ✕ beside a ware stops it being sold. Things already bought stay bought.
+- "Edit" beside a ware changes its price, the coin (or cash) the price is in,
+  and its stock: restock a sold-out ware, or clear the stock for no limit.
+  What is sold, its level and who sells it cannot be changed; remove the ware
+  and put it up again for that.

+# World Seeds
+
+A world seed is a ready-made campaign: locations, weapons, items, spells,
+monsters, NPCs with their wares, encounters with their rewards, and notes. A
+DM starts a campaign from one by typing its code.
+
+This describes the code as it stands. Related: [ITEMS.md](ITEMS.md),
+[WEAPONS.md](WEAPONS.md), [SPELLS.md](SPELLS.md), [MONSTERS.md](MONSTERS.md),
+[NPCS.md](NPCS.md), [ENCOUNTERS.md](ENCOUNTERS.md).

+6. [The database seed](#6-the-database-seed)
+7. [The worlds that come with the app](#7-the-worlds-that-come-with-the-app)
+
+---
+
+## 1. The basics
+
+- Every `.js` file in `/backend/seeds` is one world. The file says what its
+  **code** is: six capital letters or digits.
+- Anyone who is logged in and knows a code can create that world as a new
+  campaign. They become its DM and owner, exactly as with a blank campaign.
+- The same code can be used any number of times. Each use makes a separate
+  campaign with its own invite code; nothing is shared between copies.
+- A seed only says what a campaign **starts** as. Once created, the campaign
+  is the DM's to change, and changing the seed file later does not touch
+  campaigns already made from it.
+- The folder is read each time a code is entered, so a new file is live as
+  soon as it is on the server. No restart, no migration.
+
+## 2. Starting a campaign from a code
+
+On the **Campaigns** page, click **+ New Campaign**. Under the form for a
+blank campaign is **Or start from a ready-made world**: type the code and
+click **Create From Code**. Capitals and spaces do not matter (`aldenf`,
+`ALDENF` and `ald-enf` are the same code).
+
+The whole world is created in one go, and you land on its campaign page. If
+anything in it fails, nothing is created.
+
+| Reply | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| "A world code is 6 letters or numbers" | What was typed is not six characters long |
+| "There is no world with that code" | No valid seed file has that code |
+
+The API is `POST /campaigns/from-seed` with `{ "code": "ALDENF" }`. It
+answers with the new campaign, as `POST /campaigns` does.
+
+## 3. Adding a world
+
+1. Write the world as a file in `/backend/seeds`, for example
+   `/backend/seeds/my-world.js` (section 4).
+2. Run `npm run seeds:check` (section 5) and fix whatever it reports.
+3. Put the file on the server. The code works straight away.
+
+A file with a mistake in it is never offered: its code simply answers "There
+is no world with that code" until the file is fixed. Two files cannot share a
+code; the one whose file name comes first keeps it.
+
+To retire a world, delete its file. Campaigns already made from it stay.
+
+## 4. What a seed file holds
+
+A seed file is a JavaScript module that exports one object. Only `code` and
+`campaign.name` are required; every list can be left out.
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  code: 'MYWRLD',
+  campaign: { name: 'My World', description: '...', startingGold: 20, startingItemCount: 2, startingSpellCount: 2 },
+  locations: [{ name: 'The Old Mill', description: '...' }],
+  weapons: [
+    'dagger',                                      // a copy from the site library
+    { library: 'longsword', isStartingOption: true }, // a copy, with changes
+    { name: 'Millstone Hammer', damageDice: '2d6', damageType: 'bludgeoning', attackAbility: 'STR', minLevel: 3 },
+  ],
+  items: [
+    { library: 'shield', isStartingOption: true },
+    { name: 'Miller’s Charm', description: '...', effects: [{ stat: 'SKILL_PERCEPTION', amount: 1 }] },
+  ],
+  spells: [{ library: 'fire-bolt', isStartingOption: true }, 'fireball'],
+  monsters: ['goblin', { name: 'Mill Wraith', ac: 13, maxHp: 30, attackBonus: 4, damageDice: '1d8+2 necrotic' }],
+  npcs: [
+    {
+      name: 'Old Hob', role: 'Miller', disposition: 'FRIENDLY', description: '...', dmNotes: '...',
+      wares: [{ item: 'Shield', price: 10 }, { weapon: 'Dagger', price: 2, stock: 3 }],
+    },
+  ],
+  encounters: [
+    {
+      name: 'The Mill at Night', mode: 'BATTLE', location: 'The Old Mill', description: '...', dmNotes: '...',
+      monsters: [['Goblin', 3], ['Mill Wraith', 1, 'The Miller’s Wife', 40]],
+      npcs: ['Old Hob'],
+      rewards: [{ gold: 25 }, { silver: 40 }, { weapon: 'Millstone Hammer', note: 'Behind the wheel' }],
+    },
+  ],
+  sharedNotes: ['Welcome to My World...'],
+  dmNotes: ['The secret of the mill...'],
+};
+```
+
+The file is ordinary JavaScript, so it can build its lists however it likes
+(the Hollowcrown seed adds the whole spell library with a `map`).
+
+### Top level
+
+| Field | What it is |
+|---|---|
+| `code` | Six capital letters or digits. What a DM types |
+| `campaign` | The campaign's settings: `name`, and optionally `description`, `startingGold`, `startingItemCount`, `startingSpellCount`, `skipMotivationRoll`, `showMonsterHp`, `areaAttackAcPenalty`, `maxEquipped`, `maxEquippedWeapons`. Anything left out takes the app's default |
+| `locations` | `{ name, description }` |
+| `weapons`, `items`, `spells`, `monsters` | The pools. Each entry is a row or a library copy (below) |
+| `npcs` | NPC rows, each optionally with `wares` |
+| `encounters` | In the order they should list |
+| `sharedNotes`, `dmNotes` | Note bodies, in reading order: the first is shown at the top. Shared notes are for everyone, DM notes for the DM |
+
+### Pool entries
+
+An entry in `weapons`, `items`, `spells` or `monsters` is one of:
+
+- **A library key** such as `'longsword'`: a copy of that entry from the
+  site's built-in library (`src/game/data/*Library.js`).
+- **A library copy with changes**: `{ library: 'longsword', isStartingOption: true, minLevel: 2 }`.
+  Any field of the row can be changed, including its name.
+- **A full row**, with the same fields the app's own forms have:
+
+| Pool | Fields (required in bold) |
+|---|---|
+| Weapon | **`name`**, **`damageDice`**, **`damageType`**, **`attackAbility`** (`STR`, `DEX` or `FINESSE`), `properties`, `rangeNormal`, `rangeLong`, `damageScaling` (1 to 3), `minLevel` (1 to 9), `isStartingOption`, `effects`, `effectNote` |
+| Item | **`name`**, `description`, `damageDice`, `damageScaling`, `minLevel`, `isStartingOption`, `effects`, `effectNote` |
+| Spell | **`name`**, **`level`** (0 to 9), `damageDice`, `school`, `castingTime`, `range`, `duration`, `description`, `isStartingOption`, `revives` |
+| Monster | **`name`**, **`ac`**, **`maxHp`**, `speed`, `strScore` ... `chaScore`, `attackBonus`, `damageDice` (may name its type: `"1d6+2 necrotic"`), `challengeRating`, `specialTrait`, `notes` |
+
+`effects` is a list of `{ stat, amount }`, as described in
+[ITEMS.md](ITEMS.md): armor is an item with an `AC` effect.
+
+Within a pool a name can only be used once, because everything else in the
+file points at pool entries **by name**.
+
+### NPCs
+
+**`name`**, `role`, `disposition` (`FRIENDLY`, `NEUTRAL` or `HOSTILE`),
+`description` (what players see), `dmNotes`, and for those who might fight
+`ac`, `maxHp`, `attackBonus`, `damageDice`.
+
+- **A money changer** has `exchangeGold` and `exchangeCash` together:
+  `exchangeGold: 1, exchangeCash: 50` is 1 gold for $50, either way.
+- **A shopkeeper** has `wares`, a list of things for sale (below).
+
+### Encounters
+
+| Field | What it is |
+|---|---|
+| **`name`** | |
+| `mode` | `BATTLE` (the default) or `QUEST`. Buying and money changing only happen in a quest |
+| `description` | The scene, shown to the players in it |
+| `dmNotes` | DM only |
+| `location` | A location's name |
+| `monsters` | `[monster name, how many, display name, max HP]`. The last two are optional; more than one gets "#1", "#2"... |
+| `npcs` | NPC names, or `{ name, hp }` to set the hit points for this scene |
+| `rewards` | Lined up unawarded (below) |
+| `wares` | For sale at the scene itself, with nobody behind it: a market, a vending machine |
+
+A **reward** is exactly one of `gold`, `silver`, `copper`, `cash` (an amount),
+`weapon` or `item` (a name), with an optional `note`. A weapon or item can also
+have `quantity` and `level`.
+
+A **ware** is `{ weapon | item, price }` with optional `currency` (`GOLD`, the
+default, `SILVER`, `COPPER` or `CASH`), `level` and `stock` (left out: no
+limit).
+
+A reward's or ware's `level` defaults to the entry's own starting level, and
+cannot be below it.
+
+### Limits
+
+Text fields have the same length limits as the app's forms (for example 4,000
+characters for an encounter's DM notes and 10,000 for a note), so that
+everything a seed creates can still be edited on screen. The checker says
+which field is over.
+
+## 5. Checking a seed
+
+```bash
+npm run seeds:check
+```
+
+lists every file in `/backend/seeds` with its code and what it holds, or
+everything wrong with it:
+
+```
+✓ aldenfell.js — code ALDENF — Aldenfell
+    24 weapons (16 starting), 31 items (10 starting), 45 spells (30 starting), 21 locations
+    15 monsters, 13 NPCs (8 wares), 38 encounters (40 rewards, 9 wares), 23 notes
+✗ my-world.js
+    npcs.0.desciption: Unrecognized key: "desciption"
+    Encounter "The Mill at Night": there is no monster called "Gobblin"
+```
+
+It checks the things that would otherwise only show up as a half-working
+campaign:
+
+- A field name that is not one of the fields above (a typo).
+- A library key that is not in the library.
+- The same name twice in one pool.
+- An encounter, reward or ware that names a location, monster, NPC, weapon or
+  item the file does not have.
+- A reward that is not exactly one thing, or gear handed out below its
+  starting level.
+- An exchange rate with only one half.
+
+`npm test` runs the same check on every seed in the folder.
+
+## 6. The database seed
+
+`npx prisma db seed` creates the admin account if it is missing, and nothing
+else. It never adds a campaign: worlds come from codes, in the app. See the
+README for the account it creates and `--reset`.
+
+## 7. The worlds that come with the app
+
+| Code | World | From |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ALDENF` | Aldenfell | The Aldenfell Campaign Book |
+| `HOLLOW` | Hollowcrown: The Rift Between Worlds | The Hollowcrown Dungeon Master's Book (V3) |
+
+Change a world's code by editing `code` in its file.
