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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Unreal prototype
An Unreal Engine 5 project that builds three things in order and proves each one feels right before anything is built around it: a movement controller, fighting, and crafting. Server-authoritative from the first line, C++ first, data-driven, telemetry from step 2, and worked as a ladder of small proofs rather than a roadmap.
Step 1 is built: Salty.uproject on Unreal Engine 5.8, two modules, the headless test runner and the gym. Step 2 (telemetry) is next.

Getting started
Open Salty.uproject with Unreal Engine 5.8, run Scripts/run-tests.sh, and press Play in L_Gym with two
clients and "Run Dedicated Server" on. Scripts/Authoring/create_gym.py rebuilds the gym.
Binary assets go through Git LFS; run git lfs install once per machine.
