Five wild-kernel themes, each 4 motifs:
cave dark · deep · echo · keeping (cave geometry)
mountain ascent · cold · pass · weight (cave)
river crossing · current · course · drowned (fen)
lake stillness · mirror · sunken · rising (fen)
valley ridges · shelter · bottom · weather (forest)
Two rendering fixes surfaced by the new claimants, both in skeleton.mjs:
- `{conscript}'s` rendered "the climbers's"; conscripts are plural noun
phrases, so fill() now collapses s's to s'.
- claimants carrying their own article rendered "The The Grey"; named()
only prefixes when one is absent.
All 16 themes validate; 39 tests pass. Module → 0.6.0.

Barrow and Castle share a kernel — a dead claimant whose appetite outlived them.
A market or a river has no corpse in it, so the other two families needed the
kernel to generalise, and it does: something wanted a thing, and something was
done to keep it that way. Only who "something" is changes.
TOWN, on village geometry. The appetite belongs to the place and the claimants
are offices — a Corporation, a Watch Committee, a Guild of Mercers. It wants to
be prosperous, respectable, safe or necessary, and it priced people out,
chartered them away or struck them from the rolls to stay that way. Motifs:
ledger, appearances, vigilance, thoroughfare.
FOREST, on forest geometry. The appetite belongs to the wood, and the claimants
are its own names for itself. It wants to be entered, fed, spread or left
uncounted, and it took people, grew through them, or let them wander. Motifs:
paths, tithe, reclaiming, trackless.
Settlements also needed their own naming rule. A barrow is named for its
occupant; a town is not — it has a name and the claimant merely runs it. Packs
declare placeNameStyle, so "The Town of Watch Committee" is now Cold Harrow, run
by the Watch Committee.
Three of fifteen requested themes are done. The remaining twelve are the same
job repeated rather than a design question, since all three kernels now exist.

What was on git could not be installed. foundry-module/ referenced core/ rather
than containing it, so an installed copy had no generator at all — it only ever
worked here because the live module directory had core/ copied in by hand.
core/ is now vendored into foundry-module/module/core/, minus cli.mjs and
test.mjs which are desk tools. module.json points manifest and download at
release assets, the way mapwright distributes, so a remote server can install by
URL without reaching into the repo tree.
