+### FEAT-1: Dead participants stay in turn order
+- From user (Saturday game). Moved out of REWORK_PLAN (not milestone).
+- Dead (HP=0) participants must NOT be skipped.
+- Current: dead → `isActive=false` → removed from turn order → skipped.
+- Desired: dead occupy initiative slot, turn still comes up. PCs get
+  death-save turn.
+- Affects: `shared/turn.js` `nextTurn` (filters `isActive`), `applyHpChange`
+  (sets isActive=false on death), `computeTurnOrderAfterRemoval`.
+- Characterization tests (`src/tests/Combat.characterization.test.js`) lock
+  CURRENT behavior — UPDATE to desired when implementing.
+- RED test locked (desired state): `shared/tests/turn.dead-skip.test.js`.

+### Milestone 4 — Resolve initiative rotation corruption (BUG-5)
+- **Real bug.** Mid-round add/revive corrupts rotation.
+- 13 dupes / 100 rounds (deterministic seeded test).
+- Root cause: `computeTurnOrderAfterAddition` appends id to turnOrderIds
+  end. Round wrap re-sorts by initiative. `currentTurnParticipantId`
+  pointer stale → nextTurn revisits.
+- RED test locked: `shared/tests/turn.combat.test.js`.
+- Detail in `TODO.md` BUG-5.
+- **Exit criteria:** RED green. Rotation invariant holds across
+  add/remove/revive.
+- **Upstream-PRable:** ✅ bug fix.
