The Custodians v0.6.1 — full system

A Foundry VTT game system: Basic Roleplaying d100 in a drab British agency that
deals with crossings, where reality keeps a record of what belongs where and can be
made to get it wrong.

Contents:
- rules.mjs as the single authority for every rule formula, with 40 rules and 132
  spot-checked values. Nothing may restate a formula it defines.
- 25 postings, each with a key characteristic, trained skills, talents and its own
  kit; a 175-item catalogue across four eras; 231 generated icons.
- Reaction Lanes initiative, re-rolled every round including the first.
- Coherence, and the Quiet Arts, which only ever arrive from a crossing gone wrong.
- Graded defences: only a critical stops a critical.
- Borrowed Authority — access as a record rather than a hacking roll.
- A case generator, and a rules journal generated from rules.mjs so the book cannot
  drift from the code.

Built compendia are committed so a remote Foundry needs only the files.
node_modules is not; `npm install` restores it for rebuilding content.

+# Porting to a remote Foundry server
+
+## First install
+
+Stop Foundry, then clone into the data directory:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/foundrydata/Data/systems
+git clone https://gitea.timevans.uk/slaguru666/RingBRP.git ringbrp
+```
+
+Start Foundry. **The Custodians** appears under Game Systems. Create a world with it.
+
+Nothing else is required: `packs/` holds the built compendia, and the system has no
+runtime dependencies. `node_modules/` is deliberately absent and is only needed to
+*rebuild* content.
+
+## Updating a deployed server
+
+```bash
+# STOP Foundry first if the update touches packs/ — LevelDB will not tolerate its
+# files changing underneath a running server.
+cd /path/to/foundrydata/Data/systems/ringbrp
+git pull
+```
+
+Then start Foundry. Existing worlds keep their actors and items; compendium content is
+replaced by the pull.
+
+## Rebuilding content on the server (optional)
+
+Only if you intend to edit the catalogue there:
+
+```bash
+npm install                       # classic-level, for writing LevelDB
+npm run check                     # the three guards
+npm run build                     # rebuilds packs/
+node tools/make-icons.mjs         # redraws all icons
+node tools/make-dice-textures.mjs # regenerates the Dice So Nice textures
+```
+
+`npm run build` runs the guards first and aborts if any fails, so a broken catalogue
+cannot be written into the packs.
+
+## Manifest URL
+
+For Foundry's *Install System → Manifest URL*:
+
+```
+https://gitea.timevans.uk/slaguru666/RingBRP/raw/branch/main/system.json
+```
+
+If the repository is private, Foundry cannot fetch that URL — clone over SSH or an
+access token instead, or make the repo public.
+
+## Version bumps
+
+`system.json` carries `version`. Foundry only offers an update when that number rises,
+so bump it before pushing anything a remote server should pick up.
+
+## Health check after deploying
+
+Open any character sheet. If labels read as raw keys (`RINGBRP.Sheet.Style` rather
+than "Marksmanship"), the localisation file failed to load — run
+`node tools/check-lang.mjs`, which exists precisely because one bad key silently
+un-localises the entire system with no error a user would connect to the cause.
