Profession skill-up colors: Roll zero skills up on gray · case 05

A zero roll yields a skill-up on gray recipes.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

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
gray recipe roll zero #1	`{"skill": 92, "ups": 2}`	`{"skill": 90, "ups": 0}`	Failed
