AutoStore R9

• Matching-only ground-item routing is preserved.
• Fresh ground drops are still detected quickly.
• Expensive fallback discovery runs less often.
• Overlapping player sectors are deduplicated during scans.
• Nearby matching chest lookups are cached to reduce repeated ZDO/container work.

Rusty Backpack R3

• Server-managed player-linked backpack storage.
• Wave is the default open emote.
• Existing backpacks are recovered globally by player ID.
• Open requests include retry support for client synchronization.
• Death handling remains integrated with the backpack system.
