Mirrors the rulebook adventure (slaguru666/VRPG) into the journal built
by stageVainCrown(): the GM-truth block, Vesper's position through the
evening, a "Running the ..." note per act, and labelled read-aloud text
at every beat.
Also carries the audit fixes: the two-key door now has a proxy fallback
so it can never dead-end a session, the Aura of Admiration has a stated
cadence, the open-water road is placed on the map instead of pointing
at a fen that is not part of this version, and the Pale Stranger no
longer bolts for a scene he is standing in.

Companions were a single line on the Ranger's edge; now they are a real
subsystem, rollable or pickable, with art, tokens and a place on the sheet.
- New compendium "companions" (VANITY · Animal Companions): 10 beasts as full
NPC actors with painted core artwork, droppable as tokens — wolf, hawk, owl,
raven, hound, lynx, serpent, stag, great bat, ram. Each keeps the printed
baseline (Grit 3, attacks at 3 dice) and differs in dodge (2-4d), senses and
one distinctive trick, plus which companion action it favours.
- New d10 roll table, "The Bond — Animal Companions".
- Ranger sheet: the companion block is now a card — art, name, kind, attack,
dodge, Grit (with a DOWNED flag), its trick, and one-click Help / Harry /
Guard (each posting what it does to chat) plus Attack and Dodge rolls.
"Roll the Bond" rolls the d10 and binds the beast straight onto the sheet.
- template.json: companion gains kind, img, dodge, trick.
- Rules updated in both places: §9a in the Draft 13 source (so the in-world
journal carries it) and a new Bond section in the player rulebook, which is
regenerated to HTML + PDF (39pp).
- Version -> 0.9.6; README/FOUNDRY/system description updated (13 compendia).

Brings the public system repo up to date with the current build:
- Dice So Nice: the VANITY peacock dice are now forced for every player, with
a roll hook stamping the colourset on every die (red Bane dice preserved).
- Character sheet: conditions strip moved to the foot, rebuilt as an even grid
with larger (34px) icons.
- Twist the Knife no longer spends the banked Bane — the tab only clears
through humility, a rest, or the Reckoning.
- Equipment: +50 items (weapons, armour & shields, gear, consumables).
- New compendium: VANITY · Treasures & Relics — 100 magic items, and the
Forge's richer hoards now surface them.
