docs: Quick Start and Hero Classes pages, the Steam guide and forum links
Quick Start is the Steam quick start guide as a wiki page: install, where mods go,
and the three mods run in the game (a message on world load, the Dwarf as Wilbur,
Sergeant Aldric with an ambush). Hero Classes documents classmod: CM.replace and
its options, the eight tested bodies, the limits, and that undoing a class mod
means deleting custom/pak/Items.pak and custom/scripts/us/global.res, because the
bake builds global.res on top of the previous one.
Runtime NPCs gains persona (spawn once, adopt after every load), the rule that a
creature's script name is unique (a second CreateNPC with the name moves the first
creature and creates nothing), and make_companion's combat option. The API
reference gets the vars and persona wrappers and classmod; Installation lists the
overlay keys (F7 copies the hero's position); first-mod troubleshooting covers
.lua.txt files and the captured mouse.

docs: runtime mods go in custom/lua/mods, Steam verification restores ijl15.dll
A mod that returns {} bakes to an empty file at its own path, and fs_override
serves any existing custom\ file, so a runtime mod saved as a class FunkCode.lua
hands the game an empty FunkCode.bin. Point runtime mods and the runtime
examples at custom/lua/mods/, which mirrors no game file.
Verify integrity does not stay green: install.cmd replaces ijl15.dll, which
Steam restores. Say so, and to run install.cmd again.

Runtime-NPCs, Dialog-Text, Dialog-Nodes (599-node catalogue),
Lua-API-Reference, Reverse-Engineering, plus a _Sidebar.
