 ### Added
 
+- Prototype combat training hit responses now return a server-generated
+  `combat_event_id` for validated hits, reject unknown targets as structured
+  misses, and audit the finishing hit before the BodyTime reward event.
 - Character animation action registry layer: gameplay and AI prototype code can
   now request semantic `CharacterActionId` values such as talk, attack,
   hit-react, death, gather, and interact while the animation registry maps them

 - [x] Prototype combat hit requests now carry impact-time range, cone, and
   obstacle validation data, and Nakama rejects invalid training hits without HP
   or reward mutation, including spoofed negative or zero validation values.
+- [x] Prototype combat hit responses now include a server-generated combat
+  event id for validated hits, structured miss reasons for unknown, blocked,
+  out-of-range, outside-cone, and rebuilding targets, and combat ledger rows for

 - [x] Prototype combat training target visuals now keep a dead target instance
   through its respawn window instead of spawning duplicates.
 - [x] Nakama has the first server-owned Relay Yard facility action lane:
