Per audit item #5 — restore the doc trait/detriment lists for the
three species that had the largest gaps.
Brown Bear-Folk: replace Rending Claws (1d8 + STR with two-paw rend)
with Devastating Swipe (2d6 + STR slashing or shove 10 ft.). Drop
Winter Hibernation — the broader Hibernation Recovery now lives at
the clade level (M6.9). Add Forager's Nose (advantage on Survival
to find food, scent-id plants) and Stubborn Vitality (advantage on
death saves). Add the missing detriment pair: Slow Burn (act last
in unexpected combat) and Accidental Destruction (DEX-fail-by-5
breaks objects).
Polar Bear-Folk: upgrade Arctic Adaptation (cold resistance, swim =
walking, env immunity) to Arctic Apex (cold IMMUNITY, swim 30 ft,
hold-breath 15 min). Drop White Pelt (not in doc). Add Patient
Hunter (no-move turn → +1d8 next melee) and Insulating Bulk
(resistance to non-magical bludgeoning). Rename Polar Appetite to
Resource Hungry (doc name) and add the missing Heat Vulnerable
detriment (CON saves above 75°F escalating at 90°F).
Moose-Folk: replace Broad Antlers (1d10 + STR, charge prone) with
Palmate Antlers (2d6 + STR + crit-stun). Replace Swamp Strider with
Wetland Wader (adds swim 20 ft + 5-min breath-hold). Add Don't Tread
on Me (counts +1 size for grapple/shove + reaction kick on adjacent
melee, prof-bonus uses). Add the missing detriment pair: Ursid-Scale
Problems (Large infrastructure issues + Stealth disadvantage) and
Solitary Cervid (no Herd Coordination, CHA disadvantage in groups
larger than 4).

Clade: rename + restore traits to doc-canonical Metabolic Furnace
(cold advantage), Sinuous Body (squeeze + escape), Ferocity (+2 to
melee at half HP, not the JSON's reduced one-shot +1). Detriments:
rename High Metabolism → Burn Rate (doc name) and replace the
JSON-only Scent Marker with Short Fuse (disadvantage on WIS saves
vs. effects provoking rage/aggression — the missing half of the
clade detriment pair).
Ferret-Folk: replace Weaver / Social Charm / Small Frame with
War Dance (bonus-action evasion bonus, prof-bonus uses), Tunnel
Runner (15 ft. burrow + tunnel mastery), Irrepressible (advantage
vs. frightened). Detriments: Attention Deficit (sustained-focus
disadvantage outside combat), Musk Broadcast (stress amplifies
scent involuntarily).
Badger-Folk: replace Burrower / Tenacious Grip / Stocky Build with
Immovable (advantage STR/CON vs. move/prone), Digging Claws (20 ft.
burrow + 1d6 + STR claws + barrier-break advantage; was 10 ft. with
no claw damage), Relentless Endurance (CON-save reaction to drop to
1 HP from 0). Detriments: Tunnel Vision (lock-on Perception
disadvantage), Antisocial Default (CHA disadvantage in groups of
6+). Bumped base_speed to 30; the JSON-only Stocky Build's speed-25
was not in the doc.
Wolverine-Folk: replace Savage Jaws / Indomitable Ferocity / Feared
Kin with Wolverine's Frenzy (renamed from doc's "Feral Rage" to
avoid collision with the Feral class — same mechanic: 1/long rest
1-minute resistance to all damage except psychic), Jaws of Iron
(1d8 + STR bite that chews through soft materials as actions),
Arctic Survivor (cold-environment immunity, no tracks in snow,
arctic Survival advantage). Detriments: Berserker's Toll (one
exhaustion after Frenzy), Feared, Not Loved (CHA persuasion
disadvantage with creatures who know what you are).

Replace clade traits with the doc-canonical trio: Burst Speed (40 ft.
base + bonus-action Dash, prof-bonus uses), Tremor Sense (detect
ground-vibrating creatures within 30 ft.), Lucky Feet (reroll a 1
on a save, 1/short rest). Drop the misplaced Leaping Strides /
Burrow Savvy / Twitch Reflexes — those were thinner substitutes.
Detriments: Fragile Build now correctly halves to -2 HP/level (was
-1). Add Panic Cascade — forced-Dash on bad fear save, contagious to
allied Leporidae within 15 ft. Drop Constant Vigilance, which was
not in the doc.
Bump Rabbit-Folk base_speed_ft to 40 to match Burst Speed's clade
default. Hare-Folk stays at 45 (its species trait Open Ground Runner
sets that explicitly).

Restore the canonical clade content from theriapolis-rpg-clades.md.
Cervidae traits: Prey Sense (cannot be surprised, +WIS to initiative
twice, advantage on hidden-creature Perception), Flight Response
(reaction half-speed move on hostile-adjacent, prof-bonus uses),
Pivoting Ears (advantage hearing-Perception, cannot be flanked) —
replacing the misplaced Antlers and Fleet-Footed and the reduced
Wide Field of View. Detriments: Freeze Response (stun on first
undetected damage), Predator Aversion (CHA disadvantage near
aggressive predator clades) — replacing the misplaced clade-level
Flight Response (now correctly a trait) and Delicate Frame.
Ursidae traits: Massive Frame (size category Large outright, advantage
STR, doubled carry, Heavy weapons, one-paw -2-size grapple) —
upgrading from the reduced Powerful Build; Thick Hide (AC 12 + CON,
not the wrong 11 + DEX, dropping the un-doc'd bludgeoning resistance);
Hibernation Recovery (full hit-dice on long rest, 24-hour sleep
clears one exhaustion/disease/poison) — replacing the misplaced
Bone-Crushing Jaws (which belongs at species level on a per-bear
basis). Detriments: Ponderous (speed 25, disadvantage DEX area saves,
init -2) — restoring the speed and initiative penalties dropped by
Lumbering; Infrastructure Problem (CHA disadvantage in non-Large
spaces) — replacing the misplaced Heat Intolerance.
Migrate Delicate Frame down to Deer-Folk as Slight Frame (where the
doc puts it), since the clade-level slot is now Predator Aversion.
Heat Intolerance / Bone-Crushing Jaws drop entirely from Ursidae —
they belong on per-species records (Polar Bear's Heat Vulnerable,
Brown Bear's Devastating Swipe), which are part of audit item #5.

Captures the pre-Godot-port state of the codebase. This is the rollback
anchor for the Godot port (M0 of theriapolis-rpg-implementation-plan-godot-port.md).
All Phase 0 through Phase 6.5 work is included; Phase 7 is in flight.
