Use Case Allow a designer to edit items, monsters, and balance values with validation, then store versions in Git.
Evidence of Use Source and workflow schema/reference are available; the production title used for CastleDB validation in this suite has not yet been confirmed.
Limitations The original standalone editor is legacy; starting with HIDE, compatibility of the library/JSON must be verified before use with the pipeline.
Evidence Level: Product or documentation is available; usage limitations exist — this is not a quality score or user review.
