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: NPC walks and homes, own dialog buttons, fighters, gangs, quest items
Runtime NPCs: Npc:go / place / home / state and the engine's home leash
that stops a walk or pulls a teleported NPC back; an NPC's own dialog
node with buttons that run records on the click (a price paid with IF
HasGold); named fighters with a weapon, a gang that turns hostile after
a talk, horses; text overrides dropped for dead NPCs.
World Objects: a quest item on the ground, the DQ fetch-target shape.
Vanilla Verbs: declare_node, ST.anchor, the death hook, create_obj's
place flag. Cut Scenes: Sc.note for a window nobody speaks. Native
Quests: a solved entry loses its arrow, ten body lines per entry.
Lua API Reference: the new npcobj methods and archetypes.

Populate wiki: install, modding, quests/dialog, runtime NPCs, dialog text, API reference
Replaces the old docs/ dev-diary with a modder-facing GitHub wiki:
Home, Installation, Writing-Your-First-Mod, Quests-and-Dialog-Authoring,
Runtime-NPCs, Dialog-Text, Dialog-Nodes (599-node catalogue),
Lua-API-Reference, Reverse-Engineering, plus a _Sidebar.
