M6.17: Variant content + Sheep/Goat split + calling lore + uniform card layout
Species variants populated against the M6.13 schema: - Lion-Folk sex axis: Mane Guard (male) / Huntress Reflexes (female, +5 ft speed + advantage on initiative). - Elk-Folk sex axis: Antler Combat with 10 ft reach when full rack (male, retains seasonal Antler Drag) / Kick (female, prone on crit). Base traits restored to doc canon: Herd Coordination (Help → +3) + Endurance Runner (40 ft + advantage CON vs forced march); base speed bumped 30 → 40; new base detriment Herd Instinct. Ram-Folk replaced with separate Sheep-Folk + Goat-Folk species rather than a lineage-axis variant on a single Ram entry. Bovidae now has 4 species. The lineage-axis toggle UI in StepSpecies BuildCard rolled back; the schema stays for sex-axis (Lion/Elk) which auto-resolves. ContentLoadTests + HybridCharacterTests updated; Size.cs comment too. Calling lore: ClassDef gains Description; classes.json populated for all 8 callings with the doc's italic blockquote + paragraph profile. StepClass surfaces the description on the card. Card layout uniformity: StepClass / StepSubclass / StepBackground all switched to single-column ExpandFill grids (matching StepClade / StepSpecies). Each card now spans the wizard's content width so the description and feature chips have room to breathe. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
