# Character Creation Snapshot — Manifest

**Snapshot taken:** 2026-04-25 (Phase 5 M3 complete)

## Files in this snapshot

Each row maps `canonical source path` → `snapshot path within this folder`.
Snapshot paths mirror the canonical paths exactly so it's obvious where each
file came from.

and at the top of `README.md`.

## Files NOT included (and why)

- `Theriapolis.Core/Rules/Stats/{ProficiencyBonus,XpTable,SaveId,DamageType,Condition}.cs`
  — used by combat, not by character creation. Design doesn't need them.
- `Theriapolis.Core/Items/*.cs` — inventory mechanics. The starting kit lands
  via `CharacterBuilder.ApplyStartingKit`; Design can see the result on the
  spawned character without touching the equip plumbing.
- `Theriapolis.Core/Persistence/*.cs` — character serialization. Orthogonal
  to creation UX.
- `Theriapolis.Core/Constants.cs` — game-wide tuning numbers. Includes
  `RNG_STAT_ROLL` (one constant the screen uses) but nothing UX-relevant.
- The Phase 5 plan in full — only §4.2 is relevant to character creation;
  it's extracted into `DESIGN_INTENT.md`.
