Example-pack matrix

Add one row for every directory containing ExampleMods/<pack>/manifest.json.

Pack ID and version	Clean install	Advertised behavior	Save/reload	Disable/re-enable	Uninstall	Result/evidence

After the isolated rows pass, record one all-compatible-examples test and list every installed pack ID.

Save compatibility

Use copies of test saves, never their only copy.

Scenario	Fixture	Expected result	Actual result	Evidence
Mod missing		Unresolved content is reported; unrelated progress remains intact
Content removed		Removed IDs fail safely; remaining content reconnects
Mod upgraded with stable IDs		Existing state reconnects
Content renamed without migration		Old ID is removed and new ID is added; no silent reassignment
Disabled then re-enabled		Saved mod data is retained and reconnects
Update interrupted		Last valid version is restored
