/**
 * CONTRACT WORK 1-20: the first writs (second-wave coverage slice 4, COVERAGE_1_40.md; track T118, 2026-10-15).
 *
 * The contract skill had no quest of its own in levels 1-10 or 11-20 (the Wardens' writs, wardensBounty.ts, start at Combat 20). This is the
 * first chain, three quests at boards that already stand, kills only, every target an existing contract creature:
 *
 *   Bruce's First Writ     (Combat 3, band 1-10):  Bruce at Hope Town's board, six crabs and six seagulls on Hope Beach
 *   The Wardens' Notice    (Combat 12, band 11-20): Captain Rhea Ironwell at the Wardens' Yard board, eight soldiers
 *   The Toll House Writ    (Combat 17, band 11-20): Toll-Warden Ansel Pike at the Ridge Toll House board, six Redcaps
 *
 * Each asks the one before it and is a silent bonus quest of its giver (the giver's other lines are unchanged until the gate opens), and the
 * second and third make you read their board first, as the Wardens' writs do. The Wardens' Crows on the Masts (Combat 20) stays as it was and
 * is the natural next one. The skill's DISPLAY name may be renamed (WAITING W-353), so no text here says it: the chain talks about boards,
 * contracts and writs. Every number is a PLACEHOLDER for the balance pass.
 *
 * THREE A BAND (2026-10-18, coverage wave 2 again): each band is now a three-writ chain. Levels 1-10 gain Bruce's Second Writ (Combat 5, hijackers)
 * and The Broken Road Writ (Combat 8, the border's crooks, after reading the border board: Dreadwoods ground, so PvP and no healing in a fight); levels 11-20 gain The Muster Writ (Combat 14, goblins,
 * Lieutenant Corin Vale at the Captain's Muster board) between the Wardens' Notice and the Toll House, so the chain runs Hope Town, the border,
 * the Wardens' Yard, the Muster, the Ridge Toll House. The Toll House Writ now follows the Muster Writ.
 *
 * Types only from storyQuests.ts (an erased import), so storyQuests.ts can spread EARLY_WRIT_QUESTS without a cycle.
