Crafting at 300 raises skill to 301.

Case contract

recipe_levels = [learn, yellow, green, gray]. Skill below learn cannot craft (error "too low"). Per roll (0..99), while skill < 300: chance 100 below yellow (orange), 75 below green, 25 below gray, else 0; the skill goes up when roll < chance and the color is re-evaluated each craft.

Why this case matters

Game economies leak or destroy currency when one crafting or pricing rule is off by one boundary, rounding stage or state update; the defect is observable in exact integer outcomes.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
at cap #1	`{"skill": 301, "ups": 2}`	`{"skill": 300, "ups": 1}`	Failed
