Summary: Identify Weapon Quality reports estimated forged value, weight, and repair status for weapon items.

Resolution scales from skill plus INT/PER against item complexity, with better margin reducing estimate error.

Expected output retains legacy identify sentence format used in logs and manuals.

Delay target is 10-20s with one use gain per valid identify action.
