## Added
- **`CurseSkillPerPlayer`** (config.json) — limits how many curse skills (Darkness, JumpBan, PrimaryBan, Bankrupt and 14 others) can be stacked on a single player per round. `null` = unlimited (default), `1` = one curse per player, `2` = two. When the limit is reached the target is rejected and the curser gets a chat warning. Enforced centrally in `SkillAction`, so no per-skill code is needed.
- **Tripwire cooldown mode** — replaces the fixed wire limit with a Replicator-style cooldown. Players can place as many wires as they want as long as the cooldown is up; remaining time is shown on the HUD. Configurable via `Cooldown` in skillsInfo.json (default 20s).
- **Tripwire team colors** — T wires red (255, 64, 64), CT wires blue (64, 128, 255).
## Fixed
- **ExpensiveAmmo** also charged money for knife swings and grenade throws. It now only charges when a bullet-firing weapon is fired.
- **Knockback** also triggered on grenade throws; bound to the same allowlist.
## Removed
- Dead code: `Earthquake.cs` and `HealingChicken.cs` (neither was registered in the `Skills` enum, so neither ever ran), `EntityManager.CreateTrackedEnvShake`, `EntityManager.CreateTrackedChicken`, `PlayerManager.UpdatePlayerSkill`.
## Changed
- **Tripwire wires are now removed when the owner dies or loses the skill.** Previously they stayed on the map until the end of the round.
- `PlayerEvents.cs` split into three partial files: player events in `PlayerEvents.cs`, round and skill dispatch in `RoundEvents.cs`, entity and weapon hooks in `EntityEvents.cs`. Behaviour is unchanged; all members stay in the same `Event` class.
- 28 copy-pasted enemy-gathering LINQ chains reduced to the shared helper (Bankrupt, CarefulBullets, Darkness, Deactivator, Deaf, ExpensiveAmmo, Giant, Glitch, Jammer, JumpBan, JumpCurse, LifeSwap, Magnifier, MoneySwap, Nightmare, Poison, PrimaryBan, WildThrow).
Revive skills (Second Chance / Phoenix / Re-Zombie) — unified "on death" logic:
- Intercept the lethal hit before it is applied. Previously they reacted after the death was already committed, so one-shots, fall damage and skill-based kills were missed (Phoenix and Re-Zombie were rewritten from a post-death handler to pre-damage interception).
Killer Flash:
- Kills through real damage instead of forcing a suicide, so revive skills can intercept.
Baseball:
- Fixed a rare server crash from decoy grenades: a freed decoy's entity index could be reused by another entity and written to (use-after-free). Decoy tracking is now validated per tick (DesignerName gate) and cleared every round.
Native crash hardening:
- Aimbot: guard the hit-group native pointer before writing (avoids writing to freed/null memory).
- Wallhack: detach the glow when the target dies or disconnects (stale FollowEntity on a freed pawn).
- Spectator / Cypher / FalconEye / ThirdEye: null-guard the camera SceneNode walk and re-validate the target before teleport/parent (cross-frame freed-entity deref).
- CServerSideClient.ForceFullUpdate now bails on a null client handle.
Performance:
- Added a per-tick player/bomb cache (PlayerManager.GetTickPlayers / GetTickBomb).
- Migrated 82 skills from per-skill Utilities.GetPlayers() to the one shared per-tick scan, and the HUD loop reuses it. Much lower per-tick cost at high player counts (verified 10v10).
RayTrace:
- Prints a single notice when the module is not installed; dependent skills (Long Zeus, Long Knife, Iana, Cypher, Noclip, Shade + the skill-use aim check) no-op instead of failing silently (#43).
Introduce optional `HudDuration` and `DescriptionHudDuration` fields in skill config metadata and propagate them through all skill config constructors and `skillsInfo.json`.
