Engine bump: MrGameEng.Core is now platform-free (Friflo only), the
windowed MonoGame host lives in the new MrGameEng.Host library, and the
core gains HeadlessHost — a fixed-timestep loop without a window or GPU.
Game side: scenes switch to Transitions.Fade from the Host library,
WorldScene reads the graphics device via Context.GetGraphicsDevice(),
GameContent.Load(buildAtlases: false) skips atlas building for headless
runs.
LittleSim.Server is the dedicated-server seed and the showcase for
HeadlessHost: it loads mods/defs without textures and fast-forwards the
world calendar and climate on a fixed tick (~3.6M ticks/s in Debug):
dotnet run --project src/LittleSim.Server -- --days 10 --tps 60

Wire the engine's new MrGameEng.AI module into a PawnBrain for world pawns,
plus surrounding content/scene tweaks. Apply CSharpier across the game and
document the convention in CLAUDE.md. Add .vscode/settings.json so the editor
formats on save with the CSharpier extension.
The whole game is now described by Mods/Core — the first consumer of
the engine's new MrGameEng.Mods module:
- textures/ moved to Mods/Core/Textures; atlases are built at game
start from the merged texture tree of all active mods into Cache/
(gitignored, incremental) instead of being committed, and the
GameAssets atlas handles are gone with them
- terrain, plants and pawns are JSON defs (Mods/Core/Defs) with parent
inheritance; scenes read TerrainDef/PlantDef/PawnDef instead of
hardcoded arrays, and the TerrainKind enum is retired
- HUD strings come from Mods/Core/Languages (ru default, en fallback)
through LanguageManager; the language switches at runtime
- new console commands: mods, lang [code], defs [type]; atlas now
inspects the runtime-built cache
- bump engine: MrGameEng.Mods module and the explicit-sources
AtlasBuilder overload

CLAUDE.md now states the dual role: every new engine feature gets
demonstrated in this game as part of landing the feature.

New texture groups (ui, world, weather, damage, designations) packed into
31 atlases; directories are lowercase now, so scene code switches to the
new region keys (filenames keep their case).

Engine bump brings MrGameEng.Atlases (atlas builder + runtime loader).
Textures/ (2747 images) is packed by MrGameEng.AtlasTool into 10 atlases
(93 pages) under Assets/Atlases, loaded through generated handles.
Beings now draw pawn bodies, forest cells grow trees (both Y-sorted),
and the dev console gains 'atlas [name] [filter]' for inspection.

God-game: minimal graphics, deep simulation. The engine lives in the
engine/ git submodule and its sources plus test suites are part of
LittleSim.sln, so engine and game are developed in one editor window.
Playable skeleton: seed-deterministic terrain (smoothed height field ->
water/sand/grass/forest/mountain tinted cells), 80 wandering villagers
on a Y-sorted layer, god camera (WASD pan, wheel zoom, world-bounds
clamp), HUD and the dev console with a 'regen [seed]' command.
CLAUDE.md sets the game rules: simulation-first, one-seed determinism,
simulation/presentation split, a console command for every mechanic.
