PF1e CRB 'Big and Little Creatures in Combat': a creature's natural
reach is a disk (a Large creature still threatens and strikes adjacent
squares), while a reach weapon doubles the wielder's natural reach but
'can't strike at their natural reach or less' (a ring whose dead zone is
the natural reach). The engine keyed the ring off reach_ft > 5, so
reach-10 natural attacks (giant belostomatid bite/claw, mounted
hooves) wrongly got a 5-ft dead zone.
AttackSpec gains reach_weapon (parsed from the combatant JSON); the
disk-vs-ring rule is centralized in _melee_reach_zone_cells and applied
consistently to weapon selection, melee usability, threatened squares
and charge end placement. Esha's Lance is the only reach weapon in the
shipped data; Large natural attackers keep the default (disk).

Rename monster.py → combatant.py with _KNOWN_FEATS lookup table
that resolves feat name strings to AbilitySpec constants (Power Attack,
Iron Will, Toughness, Weapon Focus, etc.). Unknown feats produce
minimal AbilitySpec (data preserved for future implementation).
Migrate all 8 PC JSONs (data/pcs/) with complete feat/spell lists
extracted from Foundry sheets — including traits, racial abilities,
and all spells. Monsters (goblin, orc) unchanged (no feats/spells).
Update all imports, add backward-compatible aliases (load_monster,
MonsterLoadError), update CLI to use load_combatant.
Gate: 377 tests, ruff clean, basedpyright clean.
All 8 sheets from fiches_personnages/ converted to the strict Combatant
JSON schema (data/monsters convention) so the CLI can run PCs directly:
--side players data/pcs/esha.json
- id derived from the file stem; source field points at the original sheet
- oni: placeholder attacks without encoded damage ('une Pioche', 'Weapon')
left out, documented in notes (pick stats ambiguous light/heavy in the
rules KB; no identification possible for 'Weapon')
- README: PC section now documents data/pcs usage
- tests: parametrized load check + golden spots for the 8 PC files
