validateChains now also flags quests with no questgiver and no
turn-in NPC — those are unreachable in-game and a common authoring
mistake. Also replaced the O(n²) inner lookup with an O(1)
unordered_map of id → nextId so circular detection scales.
quest_template.LogTitle is varchar(200) in AzerothCore. Edited
quest JSON could carry longer strings that would either fail the
INSERT or silently truncate at the server. Cap title at 200 chars
and the longer text fields at 8KB on load.
Three guards on quest objective loading from JSON:
- type out of QuestObjectiveType range (0..5) -> defaults to 0 (Kill)
- targetCount of 0 -> 1 (no-op objectives are nonsense)
- targetCount > 1000 -> 1000 (typo guard, biggest legit WoW quest is ~100)
- >10 objectives per quest -> dropped (matches SQL slot capacity, also
bounds per-quest memory)
- Quest editor: add loadFromFile() with nlohmann/json, chain validation
with circular reference detection, wire into ADT load and save pipeline
- Project: replace naive substring JSON parsing with nlohmann/json for
both save() and load(), fix shell injection in gitCommit()
- Content pack: replace manual JSON with nlohmann/json, validate binary
format magic numbers (WHM1/WOM1/WOB1), add WOB to openFormatScore
(now scores 0-6), mark invalid files with (!) in summary
- New Quest mode (key 6) with full quest creation panel:

- Rewards: XP and gold
- Quest chain support via nextQuestId linking
- Quest list showing all created quests with level and objective count
- Save quests to JSON (included in Export Zone package)
- Foundation for campaign system: create quest chains across NPCs,
link objectives to placed creatures, build storylines
