milestone: M1 landed; flip "currently working toward" to M2

M1 "Walkable + clickable world" landed 2026-05-16 with Phase B.6
(d640ed7). All four demo targets work end-to-end retail-faithfully:
walk Holtburg, open inn door, click NPC, pick up item.

Freeze list applied: L.2 (collision), B.4 (interaction outbound),
B.5 (pickup) — these phases are off-limits until M7 polish unless
something is actively broken.

CLAUDE.md "currently working toward" advanced to M2 — "Kill a drudge."
Phases to ship: F.2 (Inventory panel), F.3 (Combat math + damage),
F.5a (dev panels Attributes/Skills/Equipped/Inventory), L.1c
(combat animation wiring), L.1b (command router prereq).

Also removes the "record a demo video" requirement from milestone
discipline (CLAUDE.md rule #3 + milestones doc operating rule #3) —
user finds video recording pointless. Milestones are now textual
events: writeup + freeze flip + CLAUDE.md "currently working toward"
update. Saved as feedback memory.

+All four M1 demo targets work end-to-end. You can log into `+Acdream`

+retail-faithful through the doorway). Click any inn door at any
+range, press R, the character runs (or walks if close) toward it
+with the correct animation cycle including the leg-shuffle turn-first
+phase, opens the door via ACE's server-side `MoveToChain` callback.
+Same for clicking an NPC — runs over, body rotates to face, dialogue
+fires from ACE without any client-side retry. Pickup items at any
+range with F or R; spell components, food, money, weapons all work;
+signs and other `BF_STUCK` scenery correctly block at the gate.
+AP cadence matches retail (0 Hz idle, ~1 Hz smooth motion, per-event
+on cell/plane changes). Run/walk threshold matches retail observation
+(1m of distance left to walk). The earlier ladder of workarounds —
