    "premise": "The author’s story intention, brief, and setting-neutral tags.",

    "characters": "Setting-owned people, roles, lineage, class, specialization, and bounded attributes.",
    "gear": "Non-executable items, tools, weapons, resources, or keepsakes with author-controlled description.",

    "Copy the exact request binding when one is supplied.",
    "Return only the response format required by the active UI or author request.",
    "Preserve explicit author choices unless asked to challenge them.",

  "current_ui_boundary": "The current browser-local designer validates a stage-shaped v0.1 response. v0.2 field patches are a documented next seam until the selective composer is implemented and separately validated."
