Input Runtime

• Prevented held inputs from repeatedly flooding DAI actions.

Projectile Runtime

• Added dedicated normal-dagger projectile handling.

• Added dedicated ultimate-knife behavior.

• Added shared projectile dispatch for efficient DAI 3.3 runtime processing.

• Added structured projectile metadata for:

  • Speed
  • Lifetime
  • Hit radius
  • Damage
  • Collision
  • Owner interaction
  • Pierce
  • Ricochet

• Preserved custom command-driven projectile movement for Kitty-specific mechanics.

Projectile Persistence

• Active normal daggers remain player-owned after being thrown.

Visual Feedback

• Q readiness/cooldown uses the durability bar.

DAI 3.3 Efficiency
