SOUL ASCENSION

• Requires U-API 2.x ([2.0.0,3.0.0)).
• Breaking release: Soul Ascension 2.0 supports clean installations only. Player data, worlds and configuration from Soul Ascension 1.x are not migrated or supported.
• Moved the Character Screen onto U-API's retained UI lifecycle and reusable layout/components.
• Added explicit public-profile privacy settings and exact-version rejection for every serialized player attachment, including progression, titles, counters and active-title sync state.
• Added bounded U-API profile facets to public profiles without expanding the base player snapshot.
• Hardened Soul Lens privacy, observation throttling and client cache cleanup.
• Added native, optional Epic Fight support for versions >=21.17.3.1 and <21.18 through Epic Fight's public attribute and player-capability APIs.
• Added balanced default Epic Fight rewards: Strength grants Impact, Endurance grants maximum Stamina, and Agility grants Stamina Regeneration, each with a final-value cap.
• Mirrored Strength's Impact reward into Epic Fight's hidden off-hand attribute and refresh capped rewards through the official weapon-change hook after main-hand or off-hand swaps.
• Added Epic Fight rules to the freshly generated 2.0 attribute_rewards.json; generated rules carry native_integration: "epicfight" and can be disabled globally or individually.
• Kept Epic Fight outside Soul Ascension's runtime dependencies and packaged JAR. Damage-based Soul XP continues to use the final NeoForge damage event exactly once, including Epic Fight combat.
• Preserved the purple visual identity and server-authoritative allocation flow.
• Finalized and frozen the 2.0.0 feature set after client validation; further gameplay/UI changes move to a later version.
