A .pqw file is what Progress Quest web's roster page downloads: base64
of one character's JSON. pqcli.pqw converts between that and Player,
keeping the generator state, so a character carries on exactly as it
would have where it came from. Saves from before 2022, which were not
UTF-8, are read as Latin-1, and upstream's two spell renames are merged
the way its loader does. Online realm fields are dropped with a
warning.
The upstream tests check both directions against the real JS: a save
made by upstream, at a task boundary or mid-task, is imported and
played on for 3000 tasks next to upstream; then the same the other way.
`just test` now fetches Progress Quest web's game logic from the public
site into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/pqcli/pq-web, pinned by SHA-256 so a change on
the site fails loudly. Nothing from upstream is committed.
tests/upstream/harness.js runs that code headless. test_upstream.py
checks the word lists, MonsterTask and the other generators from 200
generator states, and three whole games of 10000 tasks each, comparing
all state including the generator after every task. Without node or the
fetched files, these tests are skipped.
