Both scripts passed (pitch, yaw, roll) and pitched the sun upward, so every scene rendered as night and the
viewport's auto exposure sat at EV -8.5, which is what the 'cached lighting is going to be clipped' warning
reports. Keyword arguments now; the gym script re-applies the rotation on an existing sun; the world script
removes the old external actor folder on disk rather than through the asset library, which cannot load
streaming proxies on their own.

The editor offered to import them as textures on every start; source files for authoring scripts do not belong
under Content. create_world.py and generate_heightmap.py read them from RawContent/World/Heightmaps.

Off the ladder at the user's request. Scripts/Authoring/generate_heightmap.py (numpy, installed locally by
bootstrap-pylib.sh) writes a 16-bit height PNG and three 8-bit weight PNGs to Content/World/Heightmaps;
create_world.py rebuilds /Game/Maps/L_World from them through ULandscapeAuthoringLibrary in the new SaltyEditor
module, which wraps ALandscape::Import because the engine exposes no landscape creation to Python. Uses
Elite_RockyMeadows' landscape material and layer infos (the pack itself is still uncommitted). 4033 vertices
a side at 350 cm a quad; swap the PNGs and rerun to change the terrain.

The engine plugin rewrites the client config on every editor start; committing its layout keeps the tree clean.

ITelemetrySink with the null, log and JSON Lines sinks, FTelemetryEvent and the envelope, TelemetryEvents,
UTelemetrySubsystem on the game instance, ASaltyGameMode minting the session id into the replicated
ASaltyGameState, bs.TelemetryTest, the git hash in the build string (D-42) and four Salty.Core.Telemetry tests
replacing the placeholder. Proved standalone and with a headless server plus client sharing one session id.
Also enables the engine's Editor, AutomationTest, GameplayTags, ConfigSettings and LiveCoding MCP toolsets
(D-43) so the editor's MCP server exposes more than the skills toolset.

Salty.uproject (UE 5.8) from the Third Person template with class redirects, the SaltyCore and Salty modules,
the three build targets, USaltyAssetManager calling InitGlobalData, Config/Tags with the 23 root namespaces,
Scripts/run-tests.sh, build.sh and Authoring/create_gym.py, L_Gym, Git LFS attributes and the placeholder test.
Template variants kept as reference (D-41). The four Fab packs stay out of the repository for now (~10 GB).
The editor serves the engine MCP plugin on 127.0.0.1:8000 through DefaultEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini.

* Write the Unreal documentation set: design, steps, ideas, decisions and specs
Rewrites the design and engineering docs of the two earlier Unity projects
(Adventurer Guild, Project Malleable) for an Unreal Engine 5 prototype that
builds and proves three things in order: a movement controller, fighting and
crafting. Neither earlier core loop is carried; their ideas are catalogued as
features with what each needs.
- Docs/Design.md: the human summary (pillars, fixed decisions, glossary)
- Docs/Steps.md: a ladder of fifteen proofs, the first six in full
- Docs/Ideas.md: salvaged ideas from both projects, none scheduled
- Docs/Decisions.md: D-01..D-36, open decisions OD-01..OD-08, deferrals
- Docs/Spec/: notation, Architecture, Movement, Interaction, Combat,
Crafting, Networking, Telemetry, UI, written as Unreal C++ skeletons
- CLAUDE.md and README.md for the repository
* Add the stat block: one attribute set on every body, every influence an effect
Every body (player, enemy, NPC) carries the same UStatBlockAttributeSet, and
every outside influence on it is a gameplay effect: base values, buffs,
debuffs, ground surfaces, carried weight, gear, being downed. Counters are
tags and attributes on the receiver: immunity blocks by tag, resistance
scales by attribute, cleanse removes by tag. Same status from several
sources: strongest wins; different statuses multiply.
- Docs/Spec/Stats.md: the block, effects and their five sources (abilities,
areas, surfaces, items, the world), stacking, counters, readers, tests
- Movement: the movement component's tagged speed-multiplier map is removed;
speed is tuning times the MoveSpeed attribute; the ground surface trace
turns mud into an effect; the gym gets mud and ice patches
- Combat: the attribute set moves to Stats; enemies and kits carry
FStatBlockDefaults; the funnel reads MagicResist and Immune.Damage tags;
taunt and mark are statuses
- Interaction: carried weight is GE_Encumbered against CarryCapacity
- Crafting: class bonuses are the WorkSpeed and WorkQuality attributes;
enchantments may grant a holder effect
- Steps: step 5 builds the block with mud, a volume and an immunity
- Decisions D-37 and D-38; design summary, CLAUDE.md, indexes, worklog
