Subject: [PATCH] feat: Implement comprehensive PvE combat system with Renewal
 mechanics

- Add complete combat damage calculation system with Renewal formulas
- Implement critical hit mechanics with proper rate limiting
- Add mob aggro and target management system
- Integrate status effects framework for combat modifiers
- Implement combat packets for damage display and HP updates
- Add proper mob death handling and respawn mechanics
- Refactor combat system to eliminate code duplication
- Fix mob ID synchronization issues
- Add comprehensive test coverage for combat mechanics
