Variant C of the mock: seven nameplate calling cards in one row, with the chosen
calling's blurb AND mechanics in a detail panel below — the one card you
committed to is the only one that talks.
Editor-first (ADR 0001): the tree is in the .tscn, the script binds. No rules
here — CreationDraft holds them, CreationCopy derives the display strings, the
prose comes from ContentDB. Emits creation_confirmed(Dictionary); M4-c
constructs. Five ability cards. Never six (§7).
CreationDraft's docstring promised it owns no rules—it delegates to NewGame.validate.
But it kept a local const POOL := 3 that mirrored NewGame.SPEND_POOL, inviting
silent disagreement if the source was changed and the copy forgotten.
Delete POOL. Use NewGame.SPEND_POOL directly in points_left(), with a comment
making it clear this is the single authority. The coupling is now enforced by
code structure, not by hope.

Pure, node-free, headlessly testable. Carries a seed, not a stat block. Owns no
rules of its own: errors() delegates to NewGame.validate.
The interaction rules that make creation screens buggy are pinned by test:
changing calling clears the picks; changing race drops a pick the new race now
grants (the elf/cutpurse case); re-roll clears the spend and only the spend;
minus floors at the roll; the fourth point does not exist.
Display strings derived from Callings/Races/Skills at call time. Retune a hit
die and the card follows, because the card never knew the number. Prose stays in
content; numbers stay in code; nothing is written twice.
Deviation from the plan, approved by the human: the plan's test asserted the
rendered line contains Callings.armor(id) — the RAW table value — while the plan's
own ARMOR_WORD maps "none" to "no armour". "none" is not a substring of "no armour",
so the Hedge-Mage failed. The card's copy is what the plan's docstring example shows,
so the copy stands and the test was fixed: armor_word(id) is now public and the test
asserts against the derived word. The guard is unchanged — hardcode an armour string
and retune the table, and it still goes red.
