## Test Weapons
- [ ] Pick up weapon → attaches to hand socket
- [ ] Fire → muzzle flash + recoil + ammo count decreases
- [ ] Empty magazine → auto-reload (or click Reload)
- [ ] Melee → combo counter increments

## Test AI
- [ ] Patrol path → enemy walks waypoints
- [ ] Player enters sight → alert level rises → chase begins
- [ ] Player hides → enemy loses sight → searches last known location
- [ ] Combat → enemy uses behavior variant (flanking, cover, rush)

## Test Adaptive
- [ ] Player dies frequently → difficulty decreases (fewer enemies, more health)
- [ ] Player excels → difficulty increases
- [ ] Stress high → memory drift distortions activate
- [ ] Scare event triggers → jump scare sound + visual plays
