   Agent Brief

   Category: enhancement
   Summary: Dispatch nonzero Scripted spell effects to Package Runtime Scripts.

   Current behavior:
   E_SCRIPTED effects with script_id = 0 are intentional no-ops. The effect table already carries script_id, but cast resolution has no Runtime Script dispatch.

   Desired behavior:
   Keep script_id = 0 as the vanilla graceful no-op. Before spending a resource or starting cooldown, a cast containing a nonzero Scripted effect verifies that the named Runtime Script exists and is enabled. Missing or disabled scripts refuse the cast.

   During effect resolution, invoke the Runtime Script as the effect itself with caster, target, spell, effect, and computed effect data. Successful staged host operations commit. A runtime or fuel failure discards that effect's staged operations and records the failure, while core processing and other effects continue.

   Key interfaces:

   • E_SCRIPTED spell-effect handler
   • SpellEffect.script_id
   • Runtime Script lookup and invocation
   • Cast preflight Gate

   Acceptance criteria:

   • script_id = 0 keeps the existing no-op behavior.
   • A missing or disabled nonzero script refuses before resource cost and cooldown.
   • An enabled script receives the correct caster, target, spell, and effect identity.
   • Successful host operations become the spell effect.
   • Runtime and fuel failures commit no staged operations and do not stop later core work.
   • A Package-defined spell and Runtime Script are learnable and castable through the headless wire test with no per-spell Rust handler.

   Out of scope:

   • Decorating or vetoing other spell kinds
   • Raw script uploads
   • New host operations beyond the Runtime Script API tickets
