+Core item names, base stat types, and base values are fixed for this optimizer. The canonical definitions live in [`app.js`](app.js) as `FIXED_ITEMS` so the app and documentation do not drift.
 
 Mounts and pets provide both damage and health base stats. Skill provides damage and health base stats only and has no effects.
