Vertical Drop Heroes HDArchipelago randomizer mod

Compatibility notes

• The published APWorld manifest identifies 0.4.0 and requires Archipelago 0.6.7. Internal defs.py version 0.3.2 and the GML’s v0.3.2 dev build stamp were retained in this release; version provenance is stated separately from these internal labels.
• A locked next level retires the hero and returns to village selection while retaining permanent progress. It does not preserve the active hero and does not count as a Death Link death.
• The World completion predicate tests received-item access to level eleven; the distributed client sends its actual victory status after the finale. These are different signals, with no separate defeated-boss event in World generation.
• Configurations with too few reward checks trim useful skill unlocks from the end of the secondary-power list. At zero shrines with level locks and both optional check categories off, the final nine are omitted; progression items remain.
• The native AP bridge and the player’s resulting patched game data were not independently rebuilt or playtested. The reviewed integration targets single-player Windows runs; Proton is untested and the co-op paths are outside this mod’s AP connection flow.
