From design to world

Status: Draft stub.

Question: how do authored designs become exact, reviewable world edits?

To complete: explain capture, compilation, rendering, review, rehearsal, applying, and checking, with a traced example that identifies each input, artifact, and responsibility.

The plan is the handoff

Conceptual workflow

Rendering and applying read the same plan. Review does not itself authorize a world edit.

Design files compile into an immutable plan. Rendering reads it for inspection. Applying reads it and sends a plan transaction to the sync mod. This conceptual overview omits other inputs and apply checks; it is not a verified release tutorial.
