 - Implemented the adapter path in `modifiers/registry.ts`: stored descriptors now wrap typed `apply/describe` in `unknown`-accepting closures at registration time.
 - Result: removed the `descriptor as unknown as ModifierDescriptor` storage cast; `schema.ts` parse return also reduced from double-cast to `as ModifierProfile`.

+## [2026-04-19 14:01] Task: commit-3 preset source attribution
+
+- Added optional `baseAttr?: ChessAttrKey` to `ModifierDescriptor` and set `hp-bonus` to `baseAttr: "Hp"`.
+- Removed hardcoded `HpBonus`/`RangeBonus` aliasing from `getModifierSource`; source matching now uses `descriptor.baseAttr ?? descriptor.attrName` directly.
