Three things in SkillService, all about which skills a character is allowed to hold.

Class 0 is not the Adventurer

It is the scrap container of Skill.dat: 193 entries end up there — passives, monster skills, things with no cost and no cast time. s.Class == (byte)character.Class therefore gave an Adventurer all of them, and the bar filled with icons the client will not cast. The symptom is "the skills arrive but they do not work".

The Adventurer's ten real skills are now listed by number. 209 does not exist.

A class change was only half done

The change empties the in-memory list and learns the new class's skills. Nothing ever deleted the rows behind the old ones, so the next login loaded both sets back.

That is not a cosmetic leftover. Cast ids are numbered per class and start at zero, so an Archer who used to be an Adventurer knew two skills answering to cast 0:

skill class cast id profile
Swing Adventurer 0 melee
Archery Archer 0 ranged

Which one the resolver returned came down to dictionary order. The visible symptom was a basic attack computed off the wrong weapon: a melee skill selects the secondary-weapon profile on an Archer, so the bow in the main hand counted for nothing.

The cleanup also runs from LoadSkill, so characters already in that state heal themselves at their next login rather than staying broken until they change class again.

LearnClassSkillsAsync inserted a duplicate row on every call

Id = Guid.NewGuid() each time. In memory nothing showed — the dictionary is keyed by skill number and collapses them — but the rows piled up behind it. The existing row's id is reused when there is one.


The specialist card's skills are a separate change and are not in this PR.

Three things in the same place, all about which skills a character is allowed
to hold.

**Class 0 is not the Adventurer.** It is the scrap container of Skill.dat: 193
entries end up there - passives, monster skills, things with no cost and no cast
time. Selecting by class gave an Adventurer all of them, and the bar filled with
icons the client will not cast. The Adventurer's ten real skills are now listed
by number; 209 does not exist.

**A class change was only half done.** It empties the in-memory list and learns
the new class's skills, and nothing ever deleted the rows behind the old ones,
so the next login loaded both sets back. Cast ids are numbered per class and
start at zero, so an Archer who used to be an Adventurer knew two skills
answering to cast 0 - Swing and Archery - and which one the resolver returned
came down to dictionary order. Swing is melee, a melee skill selects the
secondary-weapon profile on an Archer, and the bow in the main hand counted for
nothing. The cleanup also runs at login, so characters already in that state
heal themselves instead of staying broken.

**LearnClassSkillsAsync inserted a duplicate row on every call.** It built a
fresh Guid each time; in memory nothing showed, because the dictionary is keyed
by skill number and collapses them, but the rows piled up behind it. The
existing row's id is reused when there is one.

The specialist card's skills are a separate change and are not here.

Walkthrough

Class changes now inject ISkillService, remove skills unavailable to the character’s class or job level, and relearn permitted skills. Skill-service tests verify filtering, persistence, identifier reuse, and cleanup behavior.

Changes

Class skill synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Skill filtering and persistence
src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/SkillService/*, test/NosCore.GameObject.Tests/Services/SkillService/*
ISkillService exposes ForgetUnlearnableSkillsAsync. SkillService filters by class and job level, includes Adventurer skill 209, removes cheat and above-level skills, and reuses persisted row IDs. Tests cover these behaviors.
Class change integration
src/NosCore.GameObject/Ecs/Extensions/PlayerBundleExtensions.cs, src/NosCore.GameObject/Messaging/Handlers/Nrun/ChangeClassHandler.cs, src/NosCore.PacketHandlers/Command/ChangeClassPacketHandler.cs, test/NosCore.PacketHandlers.Tests/Command/ChangeClassPacketHandlerTests.cs
Class-change entry points receive ISkillService. ChangeClassAsync clears in-memory skills, removes unlearnable persisted skills, and relearns permitted skills. Packet-handler tests provide the new dependency.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6d4ce

The changes address class skill selection, stale skills after class changes, and duplicate skill records; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

…login

The previous commit cleaned up at login, which repairs a character already in
that state but leaves the window between a class change and the next relog. And
master's ChangeClassAsync turns out not to touch Skills at all: the character
keeps the old class's bar, in memory and in the database, and never learns the
new class's.

Now it clears the list, deletes the rows behind it, and learns what the new job
level allows - which the change has just put back to 1, so it starts from the
first skill.

Threaded ISkillService through the two callers.

Pushed a second commit: the cleanup now also runs where the stale rows are created, not only at the next login.

Looking at it again, ChangeClassAsync on master does not touch Skills at all — the character keeps the old class's bar, in memory and in the database, and never learns the new class's. So the first commit repaired characters already in that state at their next login, but left the window in between. This closes it: clear the list, delete the rows behind it, learn what the new job level allows (the change has just put it back to 1, so it starts from the first skill).

ISkillService is threaded through the two callers.

…rt of the question

Two corrections to this PR.

**209.** My list left it out and the comment said it does not exist. Skill.dat
disagrees: class 0, cast id 16, LevelMinimum 1, name Capture. It is the
Adventurer's pet catcher, which is why CharNewPacketHandler grants it to every
new character - and why the comment there says a missing one makes `u_s 16`
answer `cancel 2`. 16 is exactly this skill's cast id.

As pushed, the cleanup deleted 209 from every Adventurer and nothing would have
said so: they simply stop being able to catch anything. The test asserted the
omission and passed. It now asserts the opposite, and fails if 209 leaves the
list. 211 and 212 stay out on purpose - the file calls them "Ultra Super
Cheating Skill" and "Admin Cheating Skill".

Written down and deliberately not guessed at: 300 to 306 are also class 0, with
LevelMinimum 10 to 18 and names like "Strengthen Swing". They look like upgraded
forms of 200-206 and carry the SAME cast ids, so they cannot be added alongside.
Nothing in the files says how one replaces the other, so they stay out.

**The review is right about the job level.** A class change puts it back to 1,
so a persisted row for a destination-class skill needing job 20 is as unusable
as one of the class left behind, and LoadSkill restored it past any check.
`keep` is now filtered by LevelMinimum. The method is renamed
ForgetUnlearnableSkillsAsync: with that filter it no longer only forgets other
classes, and the old name would have lied.

**And the duplicate-row test was weak**, as the review says: it counted the
in-memory dictionary, which is keyed by skill number and collapses duplicates,
so it could not see the thing it was defending. It now uses a store that
remembers, clears the in-memory list the way a relog does, and asserts the row
id is reused.

Both findings taken, and checking the first one against Skill.dat turned up a worse mistake of my own.

209 is not a hole in the numbering — it is the Adventurer's Capture. My list left it out and the comment claimed it does not exist. The file says class 0, cast id 16, LevelMinimum 1, name Capture. That is why CharNewPacketHandler grants it to every new character, and why the comment there says a missing one makes u_s 16 answer cancel 2 — 16 is exactly this skill's cast id.

As pushed, the cleanup deleted 209 from every Adventurer, and nothing would have reported it: they just stop being able to catch pets. The test asserted the omission and passed. It now asserts the opposite and fails if 209 leaves the list.

211 and 212 stay out on purpose — the file calls them "Ultra Super Cheating Skill" and "Admin Cheating Skill".

Written down rather than guessed at: 300–306 are also class 0, LevelMinimum 10–18, names like "Strengthen Swing". They look like upgraded forms of 200–206 and they carry the same cast ids, so they cannot simply be added alongside. Nothing in the files says how one replaces the other, so they stay out until something does.

The job-level filter is right. A class change resets the job level to 1, so a persisted row for a destination-class skill needing job 20 is as unusable as one belonging to the class left behind, and LoadSkill restored it past any level check. Applied. I also renamed the method to ForgetUnlearnableSkillsAsync — with that filter it no longer only forgets other classes, and the old name would have lied.

The duplicate-row test was weak, as you say. It counted the in-memory dictionary, which is keyed by skill number and collapses duplicates — it could not see the thing it defended. It now uses a store that remembers, clears the in-memory list the way a relog does, and asserts the row id is reused.
