 ## Known Issues & Limitations
 
-### ⚠️ Known Behavior
-1. **Chest Memory:** Once a chest is opened, its visual state persists for the remainder of the game session (not reset per level)
-   - *Workaround:* Intentional game design—players learn chest locations
-2. **Pointer Lock Exit:** Pressing ESC exits pointer lock but doesn't pause gameplay
-   - *Workaround:* Intentional—players can exit anytime (no pause feature)
-3. **Chunk Size Warning:** Built JavaScript is ~9.1 MB due to image assets (job application image is 3MB)
-   - *Workaround:* Not an issue for local play; consider asset compression for production
